Plus, the Situation’s birthday tantrum and Snooki learns a new word. By Jim Cantiello Pauly D on Thursday’s episode of “Jersey Shore” With Vinny gone, the “Jersey Shore” cast spiraled out of control! Deena danced so hard that her hair extensions needed to be surgically removed, Snooki was half a body shot away from the morgue and the Situation “left the show” because nobody cared that it was birthday. Here are my five favorite moments from this week’s “Jersey Shore”: 5. A Tribute to the Fallen This week’s episode picked up where last week’s left off. Vinny went home to Staten Island to calm down after his anxiety flare-ups. You know, re-charge his batteries and get away from reality-TV cameras for a while. Wait, what? MTV sent a camera crew home with him? Get better, Vinny! Back in Seaside, Vinny’s housemates paid tribute to their fallen comrade in unique ways. Ron? “In honor of Vinny, I’m wearing skinny jeans!” Sweet! Respectful! Well done, Ron. How about you, Pauly? “I’m gonna smash this girl in Vinny’s bed in honor of Vinny leaving the house.” That’s … something! Snooki and Deena, you’re up next! “Meatball day! I love gay dudes! You can dance with them, and then at the end of the night, you’re not expected to give them …” — well, you get the idea. Forget Harvey Milk. I think the gay-rights movement has a new hero. And last but not least: the Situation, who honored Vinny by leaving the house! Except, instead of walking out for mental-health reasons, he did so because his castmates didn’t make him a birthday cake. America, don’t pay attention to the millionaire toddler having a temper tantrum. 4. Mrs. Sitch Speaking of the Situation, he might be on the path to “wife-ing” perennial hookup Paula. And if it happens, I vote Sammi as maid of honor. To quote Sammi: “I like Paula. She might be dirty and grimy and skanky and disgusting, but she’s pretty cool.” To the happy couple! 3. Presented Without Comment Deena: “I know I’m not the smartest crayon out of the box but this isn’t rocket scientists. We can start a party!” 2. Snooki the Word Nerd Snooki learned a new word! “My ass is protruding! Protruding!” Careful, Snooks! Don’t wake up the scary ancient vocabulary monster! “It’s the word of the day: ‘protruding.’ Let’s use it all day.” JWoww asks, “In what context?” [Cut to Madonna’s “20/20” interview: “Look it up.”] Alas, the vocab monster is now awake. 1. How Do You Say “DTF” in Bosnian? On Pauly’s b-day, fellow birthday boy Mike passed off a hot Bosnian girl to his buddy. But as soon as she got back to the house, it became painfully obvious that when “Jersey Shore” airs in Bosnia, they cut out all the sex stuff. [The Bosnian girl wants to talk all night rather than hooking up and is confused why other girls are there. Pauly gets mad, calls her a cab home and kicks her out.] First a war, now this. Will Bosnia ever catch a break? For continuing “Jersey Shore” coverage, be sure to check in with MTV’s Remote Control blog.

‘I didn’t have any issue [doing] this fight scene with a woman, because I was the underdog,’ Ewan McGregor tells MTV News. By Kara Warner Gina Carano in “Haywire” Photo: Claudette Barius / Five Continents Imports If you like your movies with a lot of action, kick-ass fight sequences and actors who do their own stunts, look no further than this week’s new thriller “Haywire” to satisfy those needs. The concept for the film was born after director Steven Soderbergh saw footage of MMA fighter Gina Carano in the cage, which inspired the Oscar winner to build a film around her. “Haywire” revolves around a black-ops supersoldier (Carano) who seeks the ultimate revenge after she is betrayed by her colleagues, played by the very capable Ewan McGregor, Channing Tatum, Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas and Michael Douglas. MTV News recently caught up with Carano, Tatum and McGregor to discuss the very realistic fight sequences and how the guys were more than game for getting their butts kicked by a woman. “The physicality, that was fun to me. I didn’t have to hurt anybody,” Carano said of the difference between the film’s choreographed fights versus her MMA matches. “I didn’t have to worry about getting choked out, and there were no egos with any of the actors. They all wanted to do all their own stunts, and a lot of people around me were like, ‘Gina, that’s not normal. You’ve got some beautiful people to work with and a beautiful first experience.’ ” “To be totally honest, she’s better than every guy I’ve ever fought, really, other than one, and he was a strike force fighter as well,” Tatum admitted of his co-star, with whom he shares an intense bone-breaking exchange during the first five minutes of the film. “I can say this without any amount of trying to say it for the movie: I challenge anyone to come and fight her or even move with her. She’s by far the best athlete I’ve ever gotten a chance to move with. She’s so strong and in control, it’s just ridiculously unprecedented in my opinion.” McGregor added that he didn’t even think about the man-vs.-woman factor, only that it was the most appropriate scenario for his manipulative, weasel-like character. “There was a slight difference in our fight scene together. For me, I didn’t ever have any issue with the fact that I was having to do this fight scene with a woman, because I was the underdog,” he said. “There was no question that I was going to get killed if I didn’t manage to get away.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Haywire.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

‘To be able to make history like this is a wonderful accomplishment,’ Tech N9ne tells XXL of Hostile Takeover Tour. By Rob Markman Tech N9ne Photo: Getty Images Nobody tours like Tech N9ne . Last year, the Kansas City, Missouri, spitter ran through an astounding 82 shows in 85 days , and now Tech Nina is looking to outdo himself when he embarks on his Hostile Takeover 2012 Tour in March. The MC is promising 90 shows in 99 days. “I started planting the seeds for this music thing to expand more than 10 years ago and to see it be recognized globally like this is a beautiful thing,” Tech Nina told XXLMag.com . “We started Strange Music so we could make the music we wanted to make and tour like we wanted to tour. Now, to be able to make history like this is a wonderful accomplishment.” Tech will be bringing MTV’s 2011 Hottest Breakthrough MC Machine Gun Kelly , Krizz Kaliko, Mayday, Stevie Stone and Prozak on the road with him for planned stops in New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Las Vegas. “It’s a world-record-setting tour for hip-hop. I think it’s a beautiful thing for all the ragers,” Machine Gun Kelly said in a promotional video on XXL ‘s website. The energetic Tech delivers a headlining set that usually lasts about two hours, and that kind of performance takes a lot of preparation. Before his All 6’s and 7’s Tour last year, the Strange Music CEO talked to MTV News about what it takes to get into tour shape. “You gotta take your Syntha-6 protein shakes, you gotta drink those, you gotta eat right. You gotta eat every two hours. You gotta try to get up to six times a day; I haven’t even got up to four,” Tech Nina told MTV News last June. “I have been workin’ out with [a personal trainer] for like four months. So now I’m out here by myself, and I gotta get a jump rope, we already got the dumb bells, we already got the mats, we already got the medicine ball, and your voice, it just has to grow accustomed to yelling every night.” Will you be attending Tech N9ne’s Hostile Takeover 2012 Tour?

‘Fans should be able to check this out and just see my visualization of the song,’ ‘Community’ star-turned-rapper tells MTV News. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Ross McAlpine Childish Gambino Photo: MTV News Don’t call Childish Gambino ‘s upcoming “Heartbeat” clip a video; rather, it’s a reflection of how the actor-turned-rapper was feeling when he recorded it. “I do not really have a set of things in mind. I thought the best way to convey the feeling that’s in the song was to be confused ourselves,” Childish Gambino, a.k.a. “Community” star Donald Glover, told MTV News last week during a break from filming the clip in Van Nuys, California. “I guess when it’s all said and done, fans should be able to check this out and just see my visualization of the song.” “Heartbeat” — from CG’s debut album, Camp — is an electrified breakup song equipped with pulsating drums and buzzing synth chords. The rapper, who is better known (for now) for his role as Troy Barnes on “Community,” enlisted director Kyle Newacheck to shoot the visual. Newacheck directed an episode of the NBC comedy back in 2009. In the month leading up to his November release, Childish told MTV News that Camp was a “labor of love.” With the independently released LP, Gambino aimed to tell a story. “The biggest compliment I can give it is that I like it more than everything else I’ve done,” he said. “I think it’s a cohesive piece, and I wanted to tell a whole story with it. Hopefully, the whole album is like a book or a novel where [there’s] a through line.” “Heartbeat” is simply a chapter in that story, and its video will be reflective. “This is kinda like the mood of the song,” Gambino said. “I wouldn’t say it’s so much a video as much as it is just a mood.” What are you expecting from Childish’s “Heartbeat” video?

‘I believe in Pill, and I’m sure Rozay believes in Pill, and we wish him the best,’ Wale tells MTV News of former Maybach Music comrade. By Rob Markman Wale Photo: MTV News There is no love lost between Maybach Music and Pill . Earlier this month, the Atlanta MC dropped a bomb when he revealed that he was working to terminate his deal with Warner Music Group and leave Rick Ross ‘ Maybach Music crew. There isn’t any beef with Wale , though; the D.C. spitter told MTV News he still supports his former MMG comrade. “Personal is personal, business is business. I’m friends with people that I’ve fired, so I’ve been in the game long enough to understand [you need to] separate the two,” Wale said Wednesday when he walked the red carpet for the reopening of Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club in New York. “So shout-out to Pill and what he’s doin’.” On December 28, Pill vented via Twitter , criticizing his label for not providing enough television and radio support. Though the “Trap Goin’ Ham” MC was featured heavily on Maybach’s 2011 Self Made Vol. 1 compilation, on January 3, he told MTV News he was never actually signed to Ross’ label. According to Pill, his recording contract was with MMG’s parent label, Warner Bros. Still, P-I-Double-L was included on a number of label-driven projects, appearing on the October XXL cover with Ross and company as well as a May 2011 episode of “RapFix Live” with Rozay, Wale and Meek Mill. In the end, however, things just didn’t work out. Though Pill is obviously frustrated, he maintains that he doesn’t harbor any ill will toward anyone in MMG. “I ain’t got nothing against none of them, nobody. It’s just the situation don’t work,” Pill said matter-of-factly. “I still support what he’s doin’; it just didn’t work out on the business side,” Wale echoed. “Everybody gets chances, though. Everybody gets second, third, fourth, fifth chances. I believe in Pill, and I’m sure Rozay believes in Pill, and we wish him the best.” What do you think of Wale’s support for Pill despite the MMG split? Tell us in the comments! Related Artists Wale

Swizz Beatz also onboard for U.S. and overseas dates, RR co-CEO Joaquin ‘Waah’ Dean tells MTV News. By Rob Markman DMX Photo: Larry Busacca/ Getty Images At their height, Ruff Ryders were one of the most electrifying crews in rap. Now, DMX, Swizz Beatz, Eve and the LOX are planning to reunite on an upcoming Ruff Ryders Tour. “Everybody’s on deck. It’s just that we’re making sure all of the schedules are intact,” RR co-CEO Joaquin “Waah” Dean told MTV News. Dates are still being finalized, but Dean confirmed that he expects the tour to start between March and April. The plan is for the crew to begin their run overseas and then come over to the U.S. “We gonna take it nice and slow. We ain’t gonna do like how we used to do, 30 or 40 cities; we not gonna go that far just yet,” he said. “We gonna take it slow. Do a nice little five to 10 joints overseas and then some dates on this side just to build the momentum and have some fun with it.” “We are all family and we’re going to come back stronger than when we left. … It’s going to take the nation by storm,” DMX told TMZ on Thursday (January 19). When the story was first reported by TMZ, there was some question concerning the LOX’s involvement, but Dean insists that Jadakiss, Styles P and Sheek Louch will be onboard. “LOX is done; can’t do nothing without the LOX,” he boasted. In addition to all the original members of Ruff Ryders, the tour will also showcase RR’s new talent like Murda Mook. “We’re not starting from scratch, but we’re starting from a whole new generation who have to get familiar with us,” Waah said.

Newly single pop star soars above the crowd in Indonesia during California Dreams Tour stop. By Jocelyn Vena Katy Perry performs in Jakarta, Indonesia on Thursday Photo: Splash News Katy Perry re-emerged Thursday (January 19) for her first concert since announcing her split with husband of one year, Russell Brand . The concert, which took place at the Sentul International Convention Centre in Jakarta, Indonesia, was the first of the two final shows on her California Dreams Tour. In video from the gig, Perry removed the wedding footage she typically showed during her performance of the Teenage Dream track “Not Like the Movies,” during which she sits on a swing while singing the dreamy ballad. For the revamped performance , the singer instead showed vintage-looking cartoons of animals as a placeholder, while swinging around in a red-and-white, candy-cane-striped gown. Check out photos of Katy’s spectacular concert looks. While she had been sporting short, blue hair as of late, for the show, she was wearing her signature black hair with Bettie Page bangs. Two days prior to hitting the stage, Perry shared her excitement for the show on Twitter , writing, “I’m SO EXCITED to FINALLY be in INDONESIA! U guys have waited forever #timetodeliver.” Hours before she took the stage, she had one more message for her fans when she tweeted, “It’s the day of the show y’all! Can’t WAIT! #JAKARTADREAMS.” The performance comes one week after she was snapped on the set of an Adidas commercial donning bright-blue hair and some threads designed by Jeremy Scott for the athletic brand. She has another show Monday in Manila, Philippines. She is also up for two awards at the Grammys , set to take place February 12. At last year’s show, the singer made a grand romantic gesture when she debuted footage from her Indian wedding to Brand during the broadcast. It was the first time anyone had seen any video from their nuptials. Did you catch Katy’s California Dreams Tour? Share your reviews in the comments!

Hotly tipped MC Mac Miller also shows up in the clip, which is heavy on single-digit salutes. By James Montgomery Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship in “Middle Finger” Photo: Fueled By Ramen In Cobra Starship’s “Middle Finger” video, released Thursday (January 19), there are plenty of allegories to economic injustices, socio-political discourses on a return to the Gold Standard and, perhaps most pointedly, thinly veiled criticisms of the United States’ imperialistic foreign policies and their long-term effects on global de-stabilization. OK, not really. It’s basically just a lot of middle fingers, of all shapes and sizes, ages and genders, thrust defiantly skyward. At one point there’s a callback to their “You Make Me Feel …” video, a “Zoolander”-esque Jeep trek, a cute puppy, some basketball and exactly one old woman getting drenched. Oh, and Mac Miller shows up, too. Of course, all of this is basically one giant contradiction to what frontman Gabe Saporta told MTV News late last year , when he promised the “Middle Finger” clip would feature “a lot of cheekiness … and no middle fingers.” But, then again, if Cobra Starship have proved anything over the years, it’s that they’re not adverse to a good joke , which is probably what Saporta was doing when he touted the complete lack of fingers in the new video. Their videos are never serious, and, well, “Finger” is definitely keeping with that trend. High art this most certainly ain’t. So, much like Big Sean did with his “Dance (A$$)” video — which, like the title implied, featured plenty of posterior — Cobra Starship delivered a clip that’s just one long vignette of bird-flipping. The basic plot follows the guys (and gals) as they traipse across a city, basically being complete jerks to everyone, which, in turn, earns them plenty of one-finger salutes. It’s pretty funny, to be honest. And that’s the best thing you can say about any Cobra Starship vid. Leave the social commentary to the Boss; Saporta and Co. are content churning out the goofiest clips in the rock universe. And “Middle Finger” is a welcome addition to their, uh, oeuvre. Proudly, profanely so. What did you think of the “Middle Finger” video? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Cobra Starship
