Rumor has it that there was a geek fight in Beverly Hills last night… Tech titans Mark Zuckerberg and Sean Parker had a huge public bust-up outside a Hollywood nightclub over Facebook’s role in new music venture Spotify. Billionaire Facebook creator Zuckerberg and Napster co-founder Parker, who has launched music streaming service Spotify, got into a boozy fight over the new venture at West Hollywood club The Beverly earlier this month. Sources tell us the pair, whose complicated relationship was highlighted in “The Social Network,” got into an alcohol-fueled argument over Facebook’s partnership deal with Spotify. One source told us, “Sean and Mark had done the big Spotify launch and headed to The Beverly to party. They spent a lot of money on alcohol, and as the night went on they got into an intense discussion, which turned into a loud argument as they left.” According to the witness, “Sean argued that all Spotify users should not be forced to sign up for a Facebook account, but Mark wouldn’t budge. It was a full on screaming match outside the club, but stopped short at coming to blows. They then stormed off in different directions.” The partnership has boosted Spotify subscribers but irked some who don’t want their music choices broadcast on Facebook. Another source said, “Sean gets very intense and can be loud. These guys have been through a lot together. They have passionate discussions and strong opinions. Their partnership has given Spotify a lot of subscribers.” Rich-a$$ computer nerds ready to squab…SMH Source
After a lengthy and controversial murder trial surrounding the death of her young daughter, Caylee, Casey Anthony was found not guilty and is a free woman. That much you know. But just who is Casey Anthony? To this day, the media frenzy surrounding her continues, and despite her disappearance from view, she remains one of the most recognizable faces in the country. In a brand new E! True Hollywood Story , her former boyfriends, attorneys, journalists and other speak out about the woman at the center of this infamous case. E!’s special on the Floridian airs next Wednesday, October 19. Some of the quotes from Casey Anthony and those associated with her in her True Hollywood Story: “If you wanted to hang out [or] go party she was always down.” – Brandon Snow, Casey Anthony’s ex-boyfriend “Casey was very smart and very popular. She was someone that everyone pretty much kind of knew.” – Angel Rivera, a former classmate of Anthony’s “You follow someone around, let’s say 24/7, then you only play 1-2 hours of their most difficult time, that does not define that individual. That was an unfair portrayal of her.” – Dorothy Clay Sims, Casey’s defense attorney “She didn’t take off any clothes; she wasn’t up on the stage stripping or anything. It was just her you know, standing around and dancing in a blue dress” – Clint House, her old friend, re: Casey Anthony pictures in a “hot body contest” “It started going down like, ‘you’re a baby killer, you killed that baby.’ They were going to kidnap my daughters and see how I like [it] and then they started saying that they [were] going to kill them and they [were] going to send them to me in pieces in a box to my house and yeah… I hate that part.” – Zenaida Gonzalez, a.k.a. Zanny the Nanny , on the reaction of the public when they believed she was involved. “I think the priority should be figuring out what really happened because that’s the only way that Caylee will ever get justice. It’s not seeing [Casey] behind bars and it’s not seeing her out of jail. It’s knowing what happened and the truth.” – Michelle Bart, former George and Cindy Anthony spokeswoman
Facebook is very, very sorry. The company has issued an apology to Courtney Stodden and reinstated her access after it had denied it for “inappropriate sexual conduct,” a fact that became public once her mother said Courtney is too sexy for Mark Zuckerberg’s creation. “This page was removed in error and has been restored,” Facebook said in a statement to E! News. “We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.” Inconvenience?!? The situation gave Stodden’s mom yet another chance to make headlines. She’ll probably send Facebook a muffin basket. “We’re happy that it was finally addressed, as I’m sure many others have dealt with similar abuse and didn’t know they could do anything about it,” Keller says, once again comparing this incident to actual bullying: “Putting a stop to cyber bullying is something Courtney is very involved in. She’s happy something was done!”
Taylor Swift, Jessica Biel and David Beckham are also teamed up with teen humanitarians for TeenNick’s November 6 awards show. By Jocelyn Vena Lady Gaga Photo: Nickelodeon The TeenNick HALO Awards are weeks away from kicking off, but the celebrities involved are already spreading the word. In a new PSA for the event, airing November 6, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift , David Beckham and Jessica Biel have joined forces to help spread the word about the show. “Anti-bullying became something that I am now very passionate about,” Lady Gaga said in a statement about being involved with the show. “I was bullied in school, and for a very long time, I kept those feelings inside. Today, I feel grateful and happy that I was able to get through these struggles and have friends, family and people around that inspired me — people like Emily-Anne.” Emily-Anne Rigal, 17, has been paired with Gaga thanks to her work to help stop bullying. She started the WeStopHate.org website, helping to shed light on the cause. Swift will be paired with 19-year-old James O’Dwyer, who started the Magnolia Disaster Relief, an aid program that aims to offer relief to rural areas hit by tornadoes. “I think James and I have a lot in common, and I’m really glad I got to meet and surprise him at my concert,” Swift said. “Judging from the things he’s been able to accomplish, he’s one of those people who does the work without looking for or taking any of the credit. “What really impressed me about James is how he stepped up to the line as soon as he heard that people were in trouble,” she continued. “He saw first-hand how their lives had been destroyed and instead of getting frozen in that moment, he posted a message on Facebook to rally anyone who could bring supplies and food to those who lost their homes in tornados.” Meanwhile, Biel is paired with Shanoah Washington, an 18-year-old who created the Sista2Sista program, which aims to motivate young women. Finally, Beckham was paired with Kyle Weiss, 18, who started the organization FUNDaFIELD, which builds soccer fields in Africa. The show will be hosted by Nick Cannon. It all takes place at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on October 26. The broadcast will air November 6 on Nick at Nite, with an encore November 7 on TeenNick.

It’s IAmGWoods with a little tech news. Yes, I am #TeamApple. After 128 days, 7 Beta releases, and 1 gold master, it’s finally arrived. iOS 5 has just been released to everyone (or at least, everyone with a compatible iOS device). For those who hadn’t finagled their way into the developer Beta’s: 1) you’re a more patient human than I could ever hope to be, and 2) you’re in for a treat.

It’ll also come preloaded on the 4S, of course, when that device launches later this week. It’s been a while since iOS 5 was announced to the world, so here’s a quick recap of some of the biggest features: iCloud: Apple’s cloud-based content/data syncing service. Backs up your content, photos, etc. in the cloud for safe keeping, provides one-click access to redownloading all the apps you’ve ever purchased, etc. iMessage: Apple’s free iOS-to-iOS messaging solution.

Maybe Jordan Ward and Kianna Randall of 16 & Pregnant fame are angling their own MTV spinoff called 18 & Pregnant … because they both are, according to reports. “Jordan’s baby girl is due in November,” a friend confirms . She’s already the mother of 18-month-old Noah. As we reported earlier this year, Jordan Ward’s pregnancy was announced via Facebook as an eff-you to the haters. The also-pregnant Kianna, meanwhile, already has an 11-month-old son, Kay’den (yep, that apostrophe is correct). It’s unclear when she’s due with her second one. Jordan Ward is married at least. Kianna Randall? We’re not sure . Being knocked up while facing felony charges for allegedly attempting to break into a home in Tarrant County, Tex., poses some new complications for her, though. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised by any of this. “One out of four teen moms will have a repeat birth within two years,” said 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom “therapist” Dr. Drew Pinsky on the show’s recent reunion. There you go. We would’ve bet on Jenelle Evans , though. Even if she knows what control is, it’s unlikely she’d remember to use it in a blacked-out drunken haze.
Hungarian police swarmed warehouse to seize stash of guns being used on set. By Gil Kaufman Brad Pitt on the set of “World War Z” on August 18, 2011, in Glasgow, Scotland Photo: Jeff J Mitchell/ Getty Images Onlookers may have thought that the intense police action was part of the plot, but when Hungarian police and a SWAT team descended on the set of Brad Pitt ‘s film “World War Z” on Monday, it was not a scripted event. According to US Weekly , the SWAT team raided a Budapest warehouse where weapons were being stored for use in the epic zombie flick , with anti-terrorism officers seizing 85 guns. The firearms, which were supposed to be nonfunctional, were automatic, military-style assault rifles that were in good working order. The guns were confiscated at an airport near the film’s set, where they were being stored. “This morning a private plane brought guns wrapped in a parcel from a company to an individual [in Budapest],” said the director of Hungary’s anti-terrorism unit in a statement. “Guns like these are highly illegal to transport even if they were to [be] used as stage guns, which hopefully they weren’t.” A source told the magazine that Pitt — whose Plan B Entertainment is producing the movie set for a December 2012 release — isn’t to blame for the prop snafu. “The movie company’s employees must have made a mistake bringing the guns in without the Anti-Terrorism Unit’s permission,” said the unnamed source. The movie, which is being helmed by Oscar-nominated director Marc Forster ( “Machine Gun Preacher,” “Stranger Than Fiction”) and is based on a beloved novel by Max Brooks, stars Pitt as a United Nations employee who is traveling the world in an effort to stop a zombie plague from wiping out humanity. Forster has promised that he is taking a different approach to how the zombies move in the film from how they lurch in the book. “In Max Brook’s book they move in the George Romero [“Night of the Living Dead”] fashion. I feel like we have a little bit different approach,” he revealed. “But it doesn’t exclude that they might not eventually be fashioned [on] how George Romero’s zombies move, it’s just a little bit different approach. I think that will probably be the biggest discussions that there will be.” Check out everything we’ve got on “World War Z.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
On ‘DISconnected’ after show, Vinny Guadagnino talks online bullying: ‘I want to help open people’s eyes up … to the negativity.’ By Kara Warner Vinny Guadagnino Photo: MTV News If you haven’t already joined MTV’s anti-bullying movement via A Thin Line , you can connect with our latest awareness effort, the TV movie “DISconnected,” which premiered Monday. The film revolves around four technology-dependent characters who all endure digital drama and suffer the consequences. In addition to its star-studded premiere , MTV News’ SuChin Pak hosted an exclusive after-show discussion with psychologist Jen Hartstein, “It Gets Better” founder Dan Savage and “Jersey Shore” stud Vinny Guadagnino. “I see the viciousness of people every day,” Guadagnino said. “I kind of want to be a soldier in the field, so to speak, and try to combat the negativity with a positive message. I want to help open people’s eyes up, like this movie does, to the negativity.” The after show also featured in-depth discussions of sensitive subjects in social networking like sexting, cyber-bullying and online dating. Guadagnino had two poignant bits of advice to offer on the subject of online bullying and dating: “Don’t take things personally,” he said, adding that when forging new friendships and relationships in the digital space, tread with caution and trust your gut. “If she has like two friends on her Facebook page and she’s a supermodel, she’s probably not real,” he said. “If all her pictures are model pictures from Maxim, she’s probably not real.” Savage recommended an even more-direct approach: “Get away from the … computer,” he said. “Sometimes, you talk to kids who are being bullied online, and it doesn’t even occur to them that they can shut the computer and walk away from it. The bullies can’t chase them out of the computer and across the house to another room. You can disconnect.” Check out the Facebook page for “DISconnected.” Related Videos DISconnected: The After Show
