Jesus be a contraceptive . Via TMZ reports : It’s barely been six months since Child Protective Services took away their daughter — but TMZ has learned, “16 and Pregnant” couple Ebony and Joshua Rendon are PREGNANT … AGAIN. Joshua tells TMZ, Ebony is currently 10 weeks preggers with the couple’s second child. According to Joshua, the pregnancy was NOT planned — but he adds, “We are extremely excited for the baby.” Here’s the kicker — CPS took away Josh and Ebony’s toddler last year because of the deplorable living conditions in the Rendons’ household … including maggot-filled piles of garbage and feces on the wall. The couple was arrested for child endangerment. Shockingly, their girl is STILL with CPS — and we’re told Josh and Ebony only get supervised visitation. The case is still pending. But Josh tells us, he and Ebony have learned from their mistakes, completed parenting classes, and now keep their home immaculate. Josh insists … they’re 100% ready for another kid. Josh and Ebony are currently fighting to regain full custody of their daughter. Where is MTV to celebrate such “great” decision making skills and parenthood? We wish nothing but the best for this young and dumb couple, but it might be time to get them tubes tied, clean up that nasty a$$ house, and have a seat! More On Bossip!

Hair today, gone tomorrow. Apparently this awful play on words applies to Anne Hathaway, whose short hair raised eyebrows in London this weekend. Hard at work filming the big screen adaptation of Les Miserables in London, the stunning actress showed off just how much she’s gotten into character. Leaving The Box nightclub with fiance Adam Shulman , Anne debuted a close-cropped, much shorter ‘do – a stark contrast to her usual long brown locks. In Les Miserables , she portrays Fantine, a prostitutewith a terminal case of tuberculosis who is forced to sell her hair in to provide for her daughter, Cosette. She’s also drastically cut calories in an effort to slim down for the role. What do you think of her new hairstyle? Vote for her best look below:
Lamar Odom’s time as a member of the Dallas Mavericks has come to an end. The NBA star left the team today, ending a short and unsuccessful tenure in Big D. According to ESPN, an agreement reached Sunday allows the two sides to part company immediately, without the Mavericks having to officially release Odom. The unusual move means the struggling 13-year veteran is now off the Dallas roster for the remainder of the season, but rights are retained by the Mavericks. The Mavericks and I have mutually agreed that it’s in the best interest of both parties for me to step away from the team,” Odom said in a statement to ESPN. “I’m sorry that things didn’t work out better for both of us, but wish the Mavs’ organization, my teammates and Dallas fans nothing but continued success.” Sources said Odom’s immediate departure allows the Mavs to list him as inactive, but not cut him, leaving open the possibility that they could still trade Odom. Any team that has Odom on its roster as of June 29 must buy him out by that date for $2.4 million or pay the full $8.2 million Odom is set to earn in 2012-13. The Mavs acquired the 13-year veteran before the season started in what looked like a steal of a deal with the L.A. Lakers. Wishful thinking, it turned out. At the time of the trade, the Mavs were thought to have scored a huge coup – the reigning Sixth Man of the Year to help cushion the loss of Tyson Chandler. That vision never materialized, though, as he struggled terribly. As we saw on last night’s Khloe & Lamar , his head, heart and reality show were always in L.A.

‘All the fans that were in Times Square tonight will get to be in the video,’ Nicki tells MTV News after surprise NYC performance. By Rob Markman Nicki Minaj performs at Times Square Photo: D Dipasupil/ FilmMagic NEW YORK — Not only did New York get a free Nicki Minaj concert Friday night, but the lucky fans in the audience will also be appearing in the video for the DJ Doorly remix of her hit single “Starships.” After the Times Square show , Nicki made her way to the nearby Renaissance Hotel for a meet-and-greet with her fans, then sat with MTV News for a little one-on-one. “All the fans that were in Times Square tonight will get to be in the video, which is gonna be super exciting for them to see themselves,” the hometown star said. “I’m actually really interested in seeing it; I didn’t really know how they were going to make it all happen.” Nokia sponsored the surprise concert and teamed Nicki with DJ Doorly, who came up with his own dance remix for the Barb’s current single from her new album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. About a thousand or so fans gathered in Times Square several hours before the Young Money rap star took the stage. When she finally did emerge, she delivered a short-but-high-energy set. Nicki set things off with the album version of “Starships” and then performed “Right By My Side” sans Chris Brown. For the finale, Ms. Minaj closed with her 2011 summer hit “Super Bass.” The youthful crowd of locals and out-of-town tourists jumped up and down, rapping along to every word. After Nicki left the stage, the DJ spun the Doorly “Starships” remix and the fans danced, while overhead cameras caught the footage to use in the video, which will hit YouTube on Saturday (April 7). Have you picked up Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded ? Let us know in the comments!
Kate Winslet broke a PR commandment earlier this week while promoting the release of Titanic 3D : She dismissed the movie’s Oscar-winning theme song, claiming that Celine Dion’s overplayed ballad “My Heart Will Go On” makes her ” feel like throwing up .” Citing the inescapability of fans serenading her with the massive hit wherever she goes, Winslet’s sentiments are understandable. Frankly, I heard that song enough times 15 years ago to never hear it again, no matter how riveting and powerful Dion’s vocals are. To say that song never once gave you chills is probably a lie. But be that as it may, the song hasn’t given anyone chills since post-Oscars April 1998, when we’d all had just about enough of it. All we have left for it now is just a reflexive groan of antipathy. When it comes to much maligned movie theme songs inducing cringing during the end credits, we’re generally more than familiar with such usual suspects as Bette Midler and Bryan Adams. As such, consider this alternative list of nine musical offenders whose disastrous contributions to soundtracks deserve “a massive internal eye roll” from Kate Winslet — or anyone else with discerning musical taste. 9. “Too Close to Paradise” by Sylvester Stallone, Paradise Alley Sylvester Stallone set out in 1978 to become a quadruple threat: After his success with Rocky in 1976, Stallone wrote, directed, and starred in the period film Paradise Alley about blue-collar brothers who turn to professional wrestling to make something of themselves in New York. Stallone also sang the theme song, “Too Close to Paradise,” and thus accomplished his goal — in that this little Neil Diamond-like ditty was a threatening assault upon the ears. Most nauseating : All of it. 8. “Batdance” by Prince, Batman In 2004, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost approved Prince’s Batman soundtrack for use as a weapon against zombies, because what other use can you get out of it? Although “Partyman” is a true musical highlight, Prince’s most offensive contribution to the album is the “Batdance” track, which blends house music with a funked-up version of the 1966 Batman theme. Ultimately a mash-up of several existing pieces of music written for the soundtrack, the “song” is 90 percent movie dialogue samples — including Jack Nicholson exclaiming that “this town needs an enema” and Kim Basinger repeating her character’s name, “Vicky Vale.” Inexplicably, this messy hodgepodge of music styles and Joker one-liners made it to number one in the U.S in 1989. Most nauseating lyric : The repeated 1966-style chant of “Bat-maaaan” throughout. 7. “The Morning After” by Maureen McGovern, The Poseidon Adventure On first listen, this Oscar-winning theme strikes tedious, AMPAS-approved notes of inspiration and hope that match the film’s messages of perseverance and communal survival aboard a foundering cruise liner. On second listen, McGovern’s schmaltzy folk vocals help distinguish the song as a true product of its time, with possible subtextual reflections on the Vietnam War and the political upheaval of the times. On third listen, the repetitive lyrics set your mind adrift and thinking about the morning-after pill. On fourth listen, you suspect Amnesty International opposes this song for its usefulness as a form of torture. Most nauseating lyric : “It’s not too late, we should be giving / Only with love can we climb” 6. “Brothers” by Patrick Swayze and Larry Gatlin, Next of Kin Patrick Swayze always got a lot of flak for having the time of his life with Jennifer Grey and suggesting “she’s like the wind” in the power ballad of the same name on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. But that’s hardly a misdemeanor compared to Swayze’s collaboration with Larry Gatlin on the 1989 country-styled song “Brothers” featured in Next of Kin . Liam Neeson, one of Swayze’s kin in the film, was into punching things early in his career just as much as he is today, but it’s a shame he didn’t knock some sense into Swayze to avoid such a syrupy theme as “Brothers.” Most nauseating lyric : “No one will ever keep us from standing / Shoulder to shoulder against all others” 5. “Will You Be There” by Michael Jackson, Free Willy It’s a dreadful fact that I was born in 1988, and was thus eventually introduced to the King of Pop late through the bombastic, toothless theme song to Free Willy . Early memories of the “Will You Be There” music video on MTV amount to flashes of Jackson’s outstretched arms with his white shirt billowing grandly behind him in the breeze onstage. Gaudy stuff. Jackson preaches a positive message about cooperation and compassion, and needs a full choir to do so, but the song is undone by a lyrical hollowness that doesn’t come close to matching the emotional oomph of the song’s instrumentals. Most nauseating lyric : “Hold me / Like the river Jordan” 4. “The Neverending Story” by Limahl and Beth Anderson with Kajagoogoo, The Neverending Story This classic movie theme, positively dripping with 1980s guitar, electro-pop and androgynous vocals from Kajagoogoo lead Limahl, is equal parts whimsy and monotony. More reminiscent of an obnoxious children’s television theme song than a sweeping soundtrack single, “The Neverending Story” is a form of parental torture. Most nauseating lyric : “And there upon the rainbow is the answer / To a neverending story” 3. “Can’t Fight the Moonlight” by LeAnn Rimes, Coyote Ugly You know when you’re drunk and you hear a song — or maybe you’re just young and impressionable — and you hear a song, and you think, “Yeah, that’s catchy, I like that”? And then years later when you’re sober and/or older and you have better taste in music, you hear that same song again, and suddenly you’re embarrassed you ever liked it? Well, that’s what I call “coyote ugly”: In 2000, LeAnn Rimes needed a poppier single to cross over from gospel and country into the mainstream, so she recorded this movie single penned by the reliably mainstream Diane Warren (writer of the odious Armageddon theme “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,” and multiple other pop hits). Most surprisingly, “Can’t Fight the Moonlight” has never been repackaged for a werewolf movie. Most nauseating lyric : “Deep in the dark / You’ll surrender your heart.” (This is code for sex, kids.) 2. “Die Another Day” by Madonna, Die Another Day There is writing a good song, and writing a good James Bond song, and Madonna failed at both tasks with this unmemorable electronic club remix masquerading as a Bond theme. Maybe Madonna thought she was making an innovative creative statement by bucking the system and writing a flat tune without any tangible thematic relation to the film it’s based on, but we all know Madonna hasn’t been associated with innovation in quite a while. Madonna’s disjointed auto-tuned vocals with bondage-y undertones and lack of storytelling in the chorus and verse writing make for a lifeless theme too restricted to a musical style of the time. Most nauseating lyric : The words “another day” repeated 27 times in absence of an actual melody hook. 1. “Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman” by Britney Spears, Crossroads Since Spears’s long-forgotten and misguided 2002 starring vehicle Crossroads , the singer has recovered from a notorious nervous breakdown, hospitalization and baldness to reign as queen of the dance remixes. But long before she started auto-tuning the hell out of her vocal cords, Spears was a confused 21-year-old struggling with the same existential question every female asks: At what point do we stop being a girl and become a woman? For Spears, we’re thinking somewhere closer to 2009. Most nauseating lyric : “All I need is time / A moment that is mine / While I’m in between” Most truthful lyric : “But now I know / Life doesn’t always go my way, yeah…” Michelle Welch is a freelance writer who has also contributed at The A.V.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 13 years since Jason Biggs first made sweet, sweet love to that apple pie, but with this week’s American Reunion the gang is back, three sequels and four subpar spin-off movies later, to catch up and wax nostalgic about the good old days. Marinate on where all those years went while you catch up with the American Pie gang in Movieline’s Then and Now gallery and inevitably decide — as we all do on occasion while wine-drunk, yearbook in hand — which among them aged the best over the years. The whole gang is back in American Reunion , which sees the return of Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein , Mena Suvari , Shannon Elizabeth , Thomas Ian Nicholas , Seann William Scott , Tara Reid , Natasha Lyonne , Eugene Levy, Jennifer Coolidge, and yes, The Shermanator. More than a decade after their first outing I’d say the entire American Pie cast is looking good. Especially you, Eugene Levy . Rrrawr. Click to launch the time warp to 1999 gallery!
The Japanese may have adopted it as their national pastime, too (and it’s perfectly understandable when you’ve got babes like Aki Hoshino throwing out the first pitch at a Yokohama Baystars game), but there’s no doubting that baseball is America’s game.

If you wanted to remain completely spoiler-free going into this summer’s modest little art pic The Avengers , too bad! Disney has gone ahead and ruined the surprise. So, fine. Captain America apparently does not perish at the end of The Avengers , but will indeed live on to deal with his personal issues in Captain America 2 , due to hit theaters on April 14, 2014. Find the official word and a new image after the jump. I kid. Of course Captain America lives through The Avengers ! How else will he and the rest of his teammates cash in on the endless stream of superhero sequels to follow? From Disney: “The Walt Disney Studios has announced a release date for Marvel Studios’ sequel to the blockbuster Captain America: The First Avenger on April 4, 2014. The second installment will pick-up where the highly anticipated Marvel’s The Avengers (May 4, 2012) leaves off, as Steve Rogers continues his affiliation with Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D and struggles to embrace his role in the modern world.” I mean, if it gives us more Chris Evans crouching in tight leather getups, let the sequels never end.
Why would a Berkeley grad weed dealer and his ex-Navy SEAL partner take on a Mexican cartel who wants in on their business? To get their kidnapped shared girlfriend back, of course! Since said shared girlfriend is Blake Lively , I can understand why Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch would risk life and limb to fight off Salma Hayek’s gun-wielding goons. I’m not quite as sold on why Oliver Stone would make a movie like this, but after watching the trailer for Savages , hell — I’m in. Let’s catalogue all the things in the first trailer for July 6’s Savages , which debuted on MTV , that are intriguing: – Aaron Johnson’s UC Berkeley white boy dreads, which I might otherwise find unappealing if they weren’t on him and only for like 5 seconds – (Side note: I went to Cal and I never once encountered a pot dealer who looked like Aaron Johnson. Sigh.) – Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch as odd couple bro-buddies – Blake Lively as a woman who is so in love with both Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch she decides she’ll just date them both at the same time in some sort of super progressive three-way relationship – Blake Lively embracing her sensuality and being actually interesting for once (see above) – Salma Hayek’s bangs – Taylor Kitsch stabbing John Travolta out of nowhere – Evil Benicio del Toro literally twirling (okay, nervously stroking) his evil moustache – The return of California surfer-outlaw chic — are skeleton hoods the new President masks? Verdict: Bring on the Johnson-Kitsch sandwich. Get More: Emile Hirsch , Blake Lively , Benicio Del Toro , Aaron Johnson , Uma Thurman , Salma Hayek , John Travolta , Movie Trailers , Movies Blog Savages is adapted from Don Winslow’s novel, with a script penned by Winslow and Shane Salerno. Official synopsis: Three-time Oscar®-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone returns to the screen with the ferocious thriller Savages, featuring the all-star ensemble cast of Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively, Aaron Johnson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Benicio Del Toro, Salma Hayek, Emile Hirsch and Demian Bichir. The film is based on Don Winslow’s best-selling crime novel that was named one of The New York Times’ Top 10 Books of 2010. Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben (Johnson), a peaceful and charitable Buddhist, and his closest friend Chon (Kitsch), a former Navy SEAL and ex-mercenary, run a lucrative, homegrown industry—raising some of the best marijuana ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty Ophelia (Lively). Life is idyllic in their Southern California town…until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them. When the merciless head of the BC, Elena (Hayek), and her brutal enforcer, Lado (Del Toro), underestimate the unbreakable bond among these three friends, Ben and Chon — with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent (Travolta) — wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel. And so begins a series of increasingly vicious ploys and maneuvers in a high stakes, savage battle of wills.
