Justin Bieber Reveals His Own ‘Boyfriend’ Secrets

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘You’re always wrong when it comes to girls, you’re always wrong, so just say sorry when things are rough,’ Bieber tells E! News. By Christina Garibaldi Justin Bieber Photo: Lester Cohen/ WireImage Selena Gomez is one lucky lady! With the release of his new single, “Boyfriend,” Justin Bieber is now sharing his own relationship advice, which seems to be working since he and Gomez have been dating for over a year. “To be a great boyfriend, you just have to have patience,” Bieber told E! News . “You’re always wrong when it comes to girls, you’re always wrong, so just say sorry when things are rough.” On Bieber’s latest single , he makes all the girls’ hearts melt when he sings, “If I was your boyfriend, never let you go/ Keep you on my arm, girl, you’d never be alone/ I can be a gentleman, anything you want,” but many are wondering if he had Gomez in mind when writing the track. “No, I mean the song definitely just comes from my heart and whatever that is, whatever is in there,” Justin said. “So, I mean, I’ll never let you go if you’re my girlfriend, I promise.” It seems like Gomez might be sticking around for a while, then! In an interview with Radio Disney’s “Celebrity Take With Jake,” Bieber may have also revealed the secret as to why their relationship is still going so strong. “You just have to be honest, that’s the first thing, because if you’re not honest, then the relationship is just not a good relationship,” Bieber said. “At the end of the day, your girl would appreciate you being honest more than lying to her and vice versa.” It probably doesn’t hurt the relationship when your boyfriend’s idea of a date is to rent out the Staples Center for a private viewing of “Titanic.” So with Bieber gearing up to release Believe and Gomez hard at work shooting “Spring Breakers,” will these two find time to possibly collaborate on a track? “I mean, yeah,” Bieber told Billy Bush Tuesday (March 27) on “Access Hollywood Live.” “If it would happen before, it’s going to happen now. There’s no difference. If we do a song together, we do a song together. It is what it is. I think she’s taking a little break from music for a while. She’s just doing her acting.” Would you want Justin and Selena to collaborate on a song? Let us know in the comments. Related Artists Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber In Hot Water After Phone Number Prank

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

After Bieber allegedly tweeted nine digits of a Texas phone number, two local residents are threatening legal action. By James Montgomery Justin Bieber Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage Earlier this month, Justin Bieber decided to have a little fun with his 19 million Twitter followers when he posted a mysterious phone number and told them “call me right now.” In the tweet — which has since been deleted (but can be seen here … with the number blocked out) — Bieber included just nine digits of a Texas number, leaving the true Beliebers to figure out the rest … which, not surprisingly, caused some headaches for folks who had similar numbers. And now, two of them reportedly have threatened legal action. According to TMZ , a pair of Texas residents (a woman named Dilcie and a man named Kent) have hired an attorney, claiming that since the tweet, their phones have been ringing non-stop. And they’re seeking compensation from Bieber for his “reckless” behavior. The attorney tells the site that her clients received more than 1,000 phone calls from Bieber fans, at all hours of the day, and their patience “wears thin.” So they’re looking for restitution, which could come in any number of forms: An apology from JB himself, concert tickets for Dilcie’s grandchildren, an endorsement for Kent’s “upcoming online project,” or — of course — cold, hard cash. Kent, who doesn’t want his last name to be revealed, subsequently told ABC News that he’s had his number for 20 years, and he doesn’t want to change it just because of Bieber. Of course, there is a question about whether Justin’s initial tweets were even authentic, or if his account was somehow hacked. A spokesperson for the singer did not respond to MTV News’ request for comment by press time. Related Artists Justin Bieber

Demi Lovato Sets ‘Give Your Heart A Break’ Video Release

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘This is a song about faith,’ Lovato says of Unbroken song, for which video premieres next week. By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato Photo: MTV News Demi Lovato fans won’t have to wait too much longer to see the singer’s video for her latest single, “Give Your Heart a Break.” The video for Lovato’s second Unbroken single will premiere April 2 on E! News. In several teased shots from the clip, a bare-faced Demi looks out from behind a curtain and flirts with her love interest. In another shot, said shirtless love interest returns her tender glances, also from behind a curtain. “The new music video, I’m basically trying to convince a guy that I didn’t break his heart, and we get into a fight and I try to win him over again,” she told MTV News . “So I do something special for him at the end of the song.” The video certainly seems like it’s going to be sexy, and Lovato commented on having to get romantic with someone she barely knows on set. “It’s kind of funny. It’s part of the job though. You just try to get through it, but it is kind of awkward at first when you have to act like a couple with someone that you don’t know,” she said. “He was really sweet, really sweet and really cute.” Recently, Demi opened up a bit more about the track in a video she posted on Twitter . “19-years-old … sometimes it feels like during that brief time that I’ve been alive that I’ve lived through more emotions than people twice my age,” she said. “I think that’s the reason I sing about love so often in the music I make.” She explained that despite the play on the word “heartbreak” in the title, the song is about the exact opposite. “Last year I began working on a song about a different kind of love,” she said. “It’s a song about showing someone you love that you’re the one right in front of them. This is a song about faith.” Related Videos ‘Demi Lovato: Stay Strong’ — The After Show ‘Demi Lovato: Stay Strong’ Related Photos ‘Demi Lovato: Stay Strong’ After Show Demi Lovato Style Evolution Related Artists Demi Lovato

‘Bully’ Will Be Released Unrated

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Weinstein Co. is releasing the documentary on bullying unrated in a protest against an R. By Gil Kaufman A Scene from “Bully” Actors, singers, politicians, educators and high school kids have been protesting the R rating given to the anti-bullying documentary “Bully, but the ratings board would not budge. So, instead of folding, frequently outspoken Weinstein Co. co-founder Harvey Weinstein has decided to release the film unrated. “The small amount of language in the film that’s responsible for the R rating is there because it’s real,” director Lee Hirsch said of the multiple f-bombs that landed the film its restricted rating, according to The Hollywood Reporter . “It’s what the children who are victims of bullying face on most days. All of our supporters see that, and we’re grateful for the support we’ve received across the board. I know the kids will come, so it’s up to the theaters to let them in.” The film depicts the painful results of school bullying and follows several families who’ve been impacted by bullying. But because it was given an R rating, it cannot be screened in middle and high schools. Weinstein began a public appeal of the rating last month, making the case that it would freeze out the very teens and others under 18 who most need to hear its powerful message. The rating war inspired 17-year-old Katy Butler to start a viral petition to get the decision changed. Not only did her movement win her a GLAAD Media Awards 
 over the weekend, but it also drew nearly

Madonna Makes Peace With Deadmau5 Over Ultra ‘Molly’ Comments

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I don’t support drug use and I never have,’ Madonna Tweeted. By Gil Kaufman Madonna Photo: Getty Images A day after Madonna to task for seemingly making a drug reference during a surprise appearance at the Ultra Music Festival, 
 the singer buried the hatchet with the EDM superstar during a surprise Twitter summit. Deadmau5 went in hard on Madonna after she blew away partygoers over the weekend while introducing EDM icon Avicii, asking them, “How many people in this crowd have seen Molly?” That incensed Mau5, who slammed 
 Madonna for seemingly making a thinly veiled reference to the illegal drug MDMA (ecstasy), which is also alluded to in the title of her new album, MDNA . 
 Though she isn’t known for having an active Twitter presence, Madonna signed on Monday to chat with her fans under the handle, @MadonnaMDNAday. Deadmau5 was among those who joined the conversation, and the 31-year-old party starter followed up his epic 800-word Tumblr rant by telling Madonna, “You’re a role model to 100’s of millions. You have a powerful voice, EDM could use your positive influence, not ‘molly’ talk.” Madonna, 53, Tweeted a 1989 image of herself wearing Minnie Mouse ears with a new thought bubble that read, “From one mouse to another. I don’t support drug use and I never have. I was referring to the song called ‘Have You Seen Molly’ written by my friend Cedric Gervais who I almost worked with on my last album …” Deadmau5 seemingly accepted her apology, responding, “Fair enough, I was just voicing my concerns as I usually do. +1 respect for clearing it up personally … regardless, just be a little more aware of what you should represent at EDM events, and I’ll watch my mouth.” That was good enough for Madonna, too, who replied, “Communication is always best. You should have called me first, we could have cleared it up ‘privately.’ 😉 See you on the road.” And that was that. Deadmau5 was pleased with the response, telling his nearly one million followers, “Well there you have it kids. I’ve said what I needed to say, which ill still stand by, and so did she. life goes on. No more talk of that.” Related Artists Madonna

Madonna Rocked To Kreayshawn, French Films Making MDNA

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘We liked what we’re doing in this current time and space,’ producer William Orbit tells MTV News about working with the Queen of Pop. By Jocelyn Vena Madonna Photo: Courtesy of Interscope When Madonna hit the studio with longtime pal William Orbit to work on MDNA , in between brainstorming and recording sessions for the tracks, the twosome also shared many laughs. And in the lull of long recording sessions, they zeroed in on fun, instead of deconstructing the current musical landscape. When Orbit spoke to MTV News about making the album, he insisted that despite the flurry of pop music floating around these days, they didn’t give much thought to the music on Top 40 radio. Instead, they focused on their own music and the bubble of creativity they were living in. “We never played tracks by everybody else, all the current artists. It’s a dangerous road to go down,” he said. “It doesn’t work,” he explained, because those songs are good for their own reasons, so it’s futile to find out why they were good and how that can be replicated. “We liked what we’re doing in this current time and space,” he continued. “What we tended to do was watch old French films from the ’60s or listen to music that was so far away that it wasn’t, in any way, relevant.” However, there was one person who managed to squeeze into their bubble and give them a good laugh: “I did remember, one day, there was a moment when we were waiting for Pro Tools to reboot, or something like that, and we were just looking at links on YouTube,” he recalled. “And I was showing her Kreayshawn , and I’ve been working with her, and I really like her. And she’s obviously got this track out called ‘Hoes on My Di–‘ [with the line] ” ’cause I look like Madonna.’ And, I played it for Madonna … then she was saying afterwards ‘Hoes on my di–, ’cause I am Madonna.’ That was about the only time we looked at any serious contemporary pop music.” At the end of the day, with the dance parties and Kreayshawn sing-alongs long over, Orbit insists the team couldn’t be more pleased with the way MDNA turned out. He added, “It was a good adventure, and we pulled it off.”

Madonna Slammed By Deadmau5 In Expletive-Filled Rant

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Shortly after her appearance at Ultra Music Festival, Deadmau5 calls Madge a ‘f—ing idiot’ on his Facebook page. By Jocelyn Vena Madonna Photo: AFP/Getty Images Madonna surprised partygoers at Ultra Music Festival over the weekend when she took the stage to introduce EDM star Avicii. But one of dance music’s biggest stars didn’t meet her appearance with such excitement. Deadmau5 took to his Facebook after her cameo to criticize the singer (who just dropped her album MDNA this week) for a joke she made. It was Madonna asking “How many people in this crowd have seen Molly?” that left the producer a bit perturbed as Molly is a thinly veiled reference to the drug MDMA, which is also referenced in the title of Madge’s new album. “Very classy there madonna. ‘HUR DUR HAS ANYONE SEEN MOLLY???’ such a great message for the young music lovers at ultra. quite the f’n philanthropist. but hey, at least yer HIP AND TRENDY! F—ing cant smack my head hard enough right now,” he wrote on his site. “Seriously, i giveth not a f—ing single F— for slating on madonna for reaching an entirely NEW level of idiocy … i can appreciate her meteoric career, and all good deeds done, but WHAT THE F— WAS THAT? That’s your big contribution to EDM? Thats your big message to ultra attendees? Hipster speak for looking for drugs? F— off you f—ing IDIOT. F—.” Seemingly knowing that his expletive-filled Facebook rant about her appearance would spark debate, he added, “well if this doesnt start a f—in flame war, not sure what will. lol. “yeah, i really kinda leeeeeeeeroy jenkins’d that s— huh… MDNA / Molly / MDMA / whatever .. something about a track? still seems the same to me, coz its still, in my opinion, unnecessary promotion of the sh– that really held EDM down for years.” Deadmau5 received tons of feedback, some agreeing and others siding with Madonna. Hours later, the famed EDM producer wrote a much lengthier post on his Tumblr to clarify what he meant by his comments regarding Madonna’s “Molly” statement. “Im not perfect. i have my vices, and some of them are probably more harmful than a recreational drug or two… but i do know that i am at the very least morally obligated not to blatantly inflict or advocate anything that’s detrimental to society, others health, etc,” he explained in the post, titled “Responsibility.” “So, if you can be pandered with MDMA references, then at least pander your own ass with a good sense of responsibility which will enable you to make the personal choices that are right for YOU… then i wont have to feel like a f—ing moron on a stage because you paid money to listen to some warm humming sounds high as f—. Besides, one day ill get older, and i dont want a bunch of f—ing irresponsible f—heads on my lawn. RESPONSIBLE f—bags, much preferred… but will still be asked to [get] off my lawn for being a f—bag all the same.” Were Deadmau5′ comments out of line, or was Madonna’s joke inappropriate?

Should ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Take Cues From ‘Hunger Games’?

Posted on March 26, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Batman and Katniss duke it out to be champion of the 2012 box office, in The Weekly Rising. By Kevin P. Sullivan Tom Hardy in “Dark Knight Rises” Photo: Warner Bros. What is going on with “The Dark Knight Rises” and its lack of a marketing campaign? We’re four months out from what is supposed to be the biggest movie of the year, but all we have to show for it are two trailers and new theater standees . This past weekend’s box-office domination of Jennifer Lawrence and “The Hunger Games” stands as a testament to the power of a strong marketing campaign when you have a rabid fanbase helping to carry the load. Warner Bros. has so far taken an entirely different route when it comes to promoting the final film of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. It’s no secret that “The Dark Knight Rises” is coming out and that everyone wants to see it. The mania around “The Dark Knight” established a subculture of raspy-voiced Batman parodies and every male teen attempting Heath Ledger’s Joker makeup and ensured a huge box-office take for the eventual third film. But with so much of the movie industry now focused on “The Hunger Games” and its “bigger than we could have imagined” success, can “The Dark Knight Rises” afford to coast into theaters in July without a similarly mega-huge marketing campaign? And how high can a big-budget movie like “The Dark Knight Rises” fly without the increasingly common deluge of marketing? Box-office experts weighing in on the success of “The Hunger Games” give credit to the balance of a hard marketing push and dedicated fanbase. Lionsgate got the word out early and often that “The Hunger Games” was a phenomenon that wouldn’t and couldn’t be missed. For the most part, the campaign fit the property. The three best-selling books had a huge following, but Katniss Everdeen wasn’t exactly a household name heading into last weekend. If a 30-year-old guy didn’t know the Suzanne Collins novels, the commercials could have been enough to entice him. The approach to marketing “The Dark Knight Rises” should be different. No one needs to be told who Batman is. Everyone and their English butler went to go see “The Dark Knight” in 2008 and would probably be interested in seeing a third film. But what’s new? Fans can look forward to Bane, Catwoman and the Batwing, but there isn’t a news hook like Ledger’s death that makes it something more than the next big movie to see. When the returns from “The Hunger Games” rose and rose and crept ever closer to the record previously held by “The Dark Knight,” there may have been a slight panic from Batman fans. What if 2012 has already seen its biggest weekend at the box office and Katniss Everdeen has already been crowned the champion? It would be ignorant to suggest that “The Dark Knight Rises” can’t succeed without an all-encompassing viral marketing campaign and commercials airing every other minute, but what “The Hunger Games” may have proven is that without those elements, Batman might have to settle for second place. Are you disappointed with the level of marketing/images/previews/trailers from “The Dark Knight Rises”? Hit me up on Twitter @KPSull and we’ll discuss later in the week over on the Movies Blog ! Check out everything we’ve got on “The Dark Knight Rises.” For breaking news and previews of the latest comic book movies — updated around the clock — visit SplashPage.MTV.com .

‘Secret Life’ Star Shailene Woodley Talks ‘Ups And Downs’ Of Season Four

Posted on March 26, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Golden Globe-nominated actress also opens up about when she might be looking for her next movie role. By Christina Garibaldi Shailene Woodley Photo: MTV News Shailene Woodley has certainly been living a dream for the past few months. For her role in “The Descendents,” the young star not only got to play opposite George Clooney, but she was nominated for a Golden Globe and won an Independent Spirit Award. Not bad for her first movie role. And even though Woodley has had a few weeks to recover, she revealed she is still in awe of all the glitz and glamour that went into attending the big events. “Every single night you’d be at a different venue, every day you’d be at some fancy brunch, lunch or something and you’d be there and there’d be different lamp shades, different curtains, but you’d be sitting at the same table with the same exact people.” Woodley told MTV News. “So it was kind of great and you get to know everyone. It became a little family that migrated to different areas.” Woodley is now gearing up for the fourth season of her hit ABC Family series, “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.” Last season left off with Woodley’s character, Amy, accepting the proposal of her boyfriend and baby’s father, Ricky. Woodley admits that the couple will face some unexpected challenges as they deal with domestic life. “There’s a lot of ups and down,” Woodley said. “I mean, she’s living with Ricky full time, so I think anybody who is confined to a small space, there might be some disputes, they might be a little bit tormented by each other for a while. And they have a 2-year-old son, so I think just the drama and the hardships of raising a child at any age, but specifically as a 17- and 18-year-old, there’s a lot of difficulty in that, but they find a way to make it through it.” Will the newly engaged couple find themselves walking down the aisle soon? “I think definitely in the future. I don’t know about this season, they are in the future,” Woodley said. “There’s a lot of pressure on Amy coming from Ricky and her family as well to get married and to set a date. And for Amy, she really likes having the ring on her finger, I think for her it was a control thing. … She’s really in no rush to move on to anything big.” And it seems Woodley is in no rush to move on to her next movie role. The young actress is patiently waiting for the right script to come along. “I would love to do another movie, but until I read something I’m necessarily super passionate about I’m not going to jump in the wave and do a movie now,” Woodley said. “But I’d rather do a small, small role in an amazing movie than a big role in a not so great movie.” Are you excited for the season premiere of “Secret Life”? Let us know in the comments.
