Justin Bieber Camp Denies Paternity Claim

Posted on November 2, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

California woman claims Bieber fathered her baby. By Gil Kaufman Justin Bieber Photo: WireImage Justin Bieber is vigorously denying the claims made by a 20-year-old California woman who says in a lawsuit that the 17-year-old singer is the father of her newborn baby. “While we haven’t yet seen the lawsuit, it’s sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory and demonstrably false claims,” Bieber’s publicist said in a statement released on Tuesday. “We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations.” Radar Online reports that Mariah Yeater claims she had unprotected sex with Bieber a year ago in a backstage area at one of the singer’s concerts and that her three-month-old baby is his. According to an upcoming issue of Star magazine, “in a hand-signed affidavit, sworn under the penalty of perjury, Yeater told a California court that Bieber propositioned her on October 25 of last year, when she was 19. The pair had a sexual tryst after his concert and backstage at L.A.’s Staples Center, it’s alleged in court papers.” The affidavit requests that the court compel Bieber to undergo a paternity test to prove whether the child, named Tristan, is his and then to provide “reasonable child support, effective immediately.” Bieber, who confirmed in March that he was dating Disney star Selena Gomez, has discussed his opposition to casual sex in the past. He told Rolling Stone magazine in February that, “I don’t think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them.” According to Yeater, Bieber would have been 16 at the time of the alleged encounter. A court hearing is set for December. The allegation comes at an awkward time for Bieber, who just released his first Christmas album, Under the Mistletoe, with a portion of the proceeds earmarked for a variety of charities aimed at education, youth well-being and music.

‘Dancing With The Stars’: David Arquette Gets Cut

Posted on November 2, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Justin Bieber performs his Christmas collabo with Boyz II Men on results show. By Kara Warner Kym Johnson and David Arquette Photo: ABC The field of competing couples on the 13th season of “Dancing With The Stars” was trimmed down to five Tuesday night after David Arquette and partner Kym Johnson were eliminated from the show. Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus, who were the other couple in the bottom two, got to keep their dancing shoes for another go next week. “This has to be a mistake!” Arquette joked when his name was called. “This is my show! I love all the people I got to know and dance with. This whole production is top-notch, and thank you to all the fans!” “I’m going to take a lot away from this experience,” Arquette said in his goodbye video. ” ‘DWTS’ was an experience of a lifetime. You learn things about yourself you never thought possible.” The latest elimination show was as packed with headlining performers as ever. Teen king Justin Bieber kicked off the show with a lively performance of his hit “Never Say Never” and later returned to the dance floor with Boyz II Men to perform their Christmas collaboration “Fa La La” from his just-released holiday album, Under the Mistletoe. Bieber and the Boyz weren’t the only artists to take the “DWTS” stage Tuesday night: Rising star Christina Perri sang “Arms,” while 17-year-old ballerina and cancer survivor Victoria-Rose Viren performed a moving duet in front of Perri. Other fun performances included the encore dance of the night, the honors for which went to Team Paso Doble (Ricki Lake, Rob Kardashian and Hope Solo), who reprised their “powerful” dance to Evanescence’s “Wake Me Up Inside.” Seasoned pro Derek Hough also performed a fun routine with fellow pro Allison Holker. Heading into the eighth week of competition, Lake and Hough are sitting pretty at the top of the leaderboard, followed closely by fan favorite J.R. Martinez and his partner Karina Smirnoff, “dark horse” Rob Kardashian and partner Cheryl Burke, and Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Were you surprised to see David go?

Kim Kardashian Divorce Lawsuit: Comedian Explains

Posted on November 2, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Rob Delaney says Kim should ‘reconsider’ Kris Humphries divorce. By Kara Warner Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian Photo: Splash News All this hullabaloo over the news of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’ divorce is a little overwhelming. First, there was the announcement, followed by the fan reactions and support from the Kardashian siblings . Now, there’s a lawsuit . That’s right: Concerned citizen/comedian/defender of the sanctity of marriage Rob Delaney explained his logic to MTV News thusly: “I’m suing Kim Kardashian and Ryan Seacrest and E! Entertainment Television and Comcast for perpetrating what we now know to be a hoax, their marriage,” he told MTV News on Tuesday. “It can’t be real. I want them to stay married. I want them to stick it out, so as an incentive, I am suing them for monetary damages — but only $18 million, not a lot. That’s just what she was paid for the wedding episodes themselves.” Delaney said the idea for the lawsuit has been brewing ever since he started seeing advertisements for Kardashian and Humphries’ wedding special on various billboards around Los Angeles. “I would drive to work every day, and I would see the billboards for the wedding, and they were offensive to me, because they weren’t normal billboards; they were these super billboards, where they add extra stuff on and make them larger than normal,” he said. “They’re on these super billboards with them getting ready to get married like it was some royal wedding, and then for them to immediately try and dissolve it 72 days later — they renewed their vows on ‘Ellen’ at day 60! What happened in those 12 days? It must have been bad.” Delaney said he thinks the newlyweds-no-more should make a serious attempt to work out their differences. “I will say, as someone who is married, that you are going to go through periods where you hate your spouse for 12 days — longer,” he said. That’s like a blip, and then you recover, and you figure it out together and figure out what the problem was and you grow, and these things that seem insurmountable and awful, you realize they made you stronger. “I want Kim to be happy,” Delaney insisted. “I don’t hate her. She’s a person who deserves happiness, but you have to fight and work for it. As a married man and a dad and an American, I want to make her reconsider. I don’t want the money. I mean, I’m going to take the money, but I feel like almost anybody would spend it better [than she would].” What do you think about Delaney’s lawsuit? Let us know in the comments!

Kim Kardashian Didn’t Profit From Wedding, Mom Says

Posted on November 2, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kris Jenner stops by Sway’s Shade 45 morning show to talk about daughter’s divorce from Kris Humphries. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Sway Calloway Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian Photo: Denise Truscello/ WireImage Kim Kardashian’s siblings have already spoken out about her split from Kris Humphries , and now mom and manager Kris Jenner is weighing in on the very public divorce. “Kim obviously had to make a really tough decision yesterday, and it’s been really, really hard on her, for sure,” Jenner told MTV News’ Sway Calloway when she stopped by his “Sway in the Morning” radio show on SiriusXM’s Shade 45. “But as her mom, she knows me and she knows her family well enough to know that no matter what, I’m there, we’re all there for her through thick and thin. I told her: You have to follow your heart.” While the family is weathering the breakup storm, Kris had one message for the haters out there: Kim married for love, not profit. “The misconception that’s so annoying in the media and the press is that the wedding was a sham and she did it for the money,” Kris said. “Kim didn’t make any money off of this wedding. No. She didn’t make five cents off of the wedding. “She spent millions of dollars of her own money on a wedding,” she continued. “And you know our network was very generous and filmed the show and obviously gave her a salary, all of us our shooting fees and all that, but it’s not like we walked away with millions of dollars jingling in our pockets; absolutely not. … It’s tough when you have all the haters who have these licenses to say whatever they want and people don’t know the facts. … And people don’t know the facts. So get your facts straight, people, before you start judging.” Kim’s Cover Up: How The Tabloids Got It Right While the divorce has seen its fair share of criticism, Kris noted that Kim’s fans have stuck by their girl through her darkest hours. “We have an intimate relationship with our fans and viewers that we really respect and love, and so many people have been so amazing and supportive,” she said. So will Kris J. miss Kris H., who has vowed that he’s “willing to do whatever it takes to make it work”? “Well, he’s a great guy,” she shared. “I like Kris, and he’s a good person, and they needed to do what they needed to do. So we’ll see what happens.” Tick Tock: The Shortest Celebrity Marriages Ever The bottom line, according to Mama Kardashian, is that, in the end, everything will work out for her little girl. “I told Kim: You’re not the first person who’s ever gotten a divorce, and guess what? You’re not going to be the last,” she said. “Unfortunately, this was short, and we feel bad, but, you know, she’s going to be OK.” Catch MTV News’ Sway Calloway on “Sway in the Morning,” on SiriusXM Radio’s Shade 45 , Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon ET.

Meek Mill Backs Wale By Teasing ‘I’ma Boss’ Remix

Posted on November 1, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Ambition Twitter campaign might lead to release of remix featuring T.I. and Lil Wayne, Maybach Music Group artist tells MTV News. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Nadeska Alexis Meek Mill Photo: MTV News Since banding together earlier this year, the members of Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group have shown a tremendous amount of support for one another. With Wale dropping his sophomore album, Ambition, Tuesday (November 1), MMG artists have extended love to their labelmate, even changing all of their Twitter avatars to Wale’s LP cover art. To take things a step further, Meek Mill promised to release his highly anticipated remix of “I’ma Boss” on Tuesday if enough people tweeted about Wale’s album. “The ‘I’ma Boss’ remix: We gonna do a Twitter campaign; you gotta tweet Wale’s album. If we get enough tweets of Wale’s album, we’re gonna drop the remix on ’em,” Meek told MTV News on Friday after performing at the Powerhouse concert in Philadelphia . “I was working on my verse yesterday in the studio,” Meek teased of the remix, which boasts features from T.I., Lil Wayne and others: “I put Tip’s verse on the beat, we got Khaled in there somewhere, we got Wayne in there, Swizz [Beatz].” Mill’s original “I’ma Boss” first surfaced toward the end of 2010. It was a slow build, but the Rick Ross-assisted track began to catch fire in May after it was included on MMG’s Self Made Vol. 1 compilation. The track went on to become one of the hottest rap songs of the summer, and a remix was in order. In an August interview with Vibe, Meek said he’d hold the release of the record so he could get a verse from T.I., who was incarcerated at the time. “If I hold the ‘I’ma Boss’ remix long enough, I might throw Tip on that — have him get out to the hottest song of the year,” he said. “He ain’t have no problem looking out for me, and I don’t have no problem doing it for him.” Are you eager to hear Meek Mill’s remix of “I’ma Boss”? Tweet @meekmill and @wale with the hashtag #Ambition in support of Wale’s new album. Related Artists Meek Mill Wale

Kim Kardashian On Divorce: ‘I Married For Love’

Posted on November 1, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘It just didn’t turn out to be the fairy tale I had so badly hoped for,’ she blogs about marriage to Kris Humphries. By James Dinh Kim Kardashian Photo: Toby Canham/ Getty Images It seems like everyone is sharing their thoughts and theories about Kim Kardashian’s short-lived marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries, and on Tuesday night (November 1), so did the reality starlet herself. Taking to her blog , the Kardashian sister posted a lengthy letter, in which she thanked her supporters, refuted tabloid reports and. most importantly, defended her relationship. “This is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write,” the letter began. “I see all of the support and I am so thankful for my fans, friends and family who are helping me through this difficult time.” Kardashian explained that she’s doing her best to ignore the constant media speculation surrounding the shocking announcement, stressing her heartfelt reasons for marriage. “I am trying not to read all the different media reports but it’s hard not to see all the negative ones. First and foremost, I married for love. I can’t believe I even have to defend this,” she wrote. “I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show! I share so much of my life on a reality show, that contemplating whether to even film my wedding was a tough decision to make, and maybe it turned out to not be the smartest decision. But it’s who I am! We filmed Kourtney giving birth, Khlo

T.I. And Young Jeezy Get ‘Honest’ About ‘F.A.M.E.’

Posted on November 1, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘The song to me meant a lot, because I don’t normally talk about how I feel and what’s going on in my world,’ Jeezy tells MTV News on video set. By Rob Markman, with reporting by James Smith T.I. and Young Jeezy Photo: Chris McKay/ Getty Images Sometimes the fame can just be too much — just ask Young Jeezy and T.I. On the Snowman’s new J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League-produced single “F.A.M.E.,” he and Tip expound on the pressures of being in the limelight. “I wanted to let them know ‘Fake-Ass Mother—-ers Envy,’ because they really do, and I just wanted to go in like that,” Jeezy told MTV News on the set for the song’s video in Atlanta over the weekend. In his first verse, Jeezy addresses the constant delays of his TM 103 album when he spits, “I bet you feel like the whole world hatin’ on you/ Well what’s the holdup? The whole world waitin’ on you.” For Jeezy, the single is a departure from his usual trap-based material. “The song to me meant a lot, because I don’t normally talk about how I feel and what’s going on in my world,” he said. T.I. has been going through his own trials and tribulations. In September, he was released from prison after violating his probation in 2010. Tip used “F.A.M.E.” as a conduit to address his innermost feelings. “Another year in prison, promise this is it for me/ Tryna make it through the storm, should be makin’ history,” he rhymed. “It’s an honest interpretation of where I am mentally and how I feel about others volunteering their opinion on my circumstances without having full knowledge,” T.I. said of his verse. “I felt that it was appropriate when I listened to it. It musically said everything that I wanted to say verbally.” What are you expecting from the “F.A.M.E.” video? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Young Jeezy T.I.

Justin Bieber Beats Lady Gaga In YouTube Race

Posted on November 1, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Bieber becomes first artist to achieve 2 billion YouTube views, one year after losing the race to 1 billion hits to Gaga. By James Montgomery Justin Bieber Photo: Frank Micelotta/MTV One year ago, Lady Gaga bested Justin Bieber in the race to 1 billion YouTube views , becoming the first artist to reach the plateau and establishing herself as the queen of social media in the process. Well, now it’s Bieber who reigns supreme, blowing by Gaga to become the first artist to rack up 2 billion YouTube views, according to social-media stats service Famecount.com . Bieber set the mark on Monday, thanks in no small part to his 1 million official YouTube subscribers, who help his YouTube site average nearly 94 million views a month. Bieber, of course, began his career as a YouTube sensation, after videos of the then-12-year-old singer tallied millions of views and caught the attention of manager Scooter Braun and Usher . For most of 2010, he and Gaga jockeyed for position atop the YouTube charts, as the clips for “Baby” and “Bad Romance” battled back and forth to be the most-watched music videos on the site. Gaga also became the first artist to have her music videos break the 1 billion mark in total online views in March 2010, and nipped Bieber in the race to 10 million Twitter followers in May of the same year. And while Bieber is now the first artist to amass 2 billion YouTube views, he still trails Lady Gaga in overall online clout . According to Famecount, Mother Monster still holds a sizable lead over Bieber in total Facebook fans (44 million to 37 million) and Twitter followers (15 million to nearly 14 million). Both Bieber and Gaga trail Eminem and Rihanna in terms of overall Facebook fans: Em counts 48 million fans, while RiRi has 46 million.

‘Expendables 2’ Stuntmen Involved In On-Set Accident ID’d

Posted on November 1, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Following the death of one stuntman and the injury of another, the film’s production company releases a statement clarifying previous reports. By Kevin P. Sullivan Sylvester Stallone in “The Expendables” Photo: Lionsgate Nu Image/Millennium Films has identified the stuntman who died on the Bulgarian set of “The Expendables 2” on October 27. Stuntman Kun Lieu was killed in an on-set explosion . The production company behind the all-star action sequel released a statement Tuesday (November 1) clarifying previous reports and updating the status of the second stuntman injured in the explosion. The second stuntman, Nuo Sun, was also injured in the explosion and was reportedly in critical condition when reports of the accident hit late last Thursday. A new statement released by Nu/Image Millennium Films updated his status, and Sun is now in stable condition in a hospital in Munich, where he was transported to undergo treatment by specialists. The statement also corrected claims made by Bulgarian newspapers that inaccurately identified the stuntmen as the doubles for Sylvester Stallone and Jet Li and asserted that the those stuntmen were nowhere near the set at the time of the incident. The production company also reconfirmed previous reports that neither the stars nor director Simon West were present for the accident. The full statement from Nu Image/Millennium Film follows: “Our deepest condolences go to the family of Kun Lieu. His passing is tragic. Our sympathies also go to Nuo Sun, who was seriously injured as a result of the same explosion. We have been informed his condition has stabilized. He has been transported to Munich, Germany, where he is receiving top medical care from the best specialists,” the statement reads. “Regrettably, Bulgarian language newspapers have incorrectly reported that stunt doubles for Jet Li and Sylvester Stallone were involved in the accident. This is absolutely false and inaccurate. At the time of the accident neither Li’s or Stallone’s stuntmen were on or near the Second Unit set, nor were any of the film’s main actors, director Simon West or any of the Main Unit crew. “Only Second Unit filming has been temporarily suspended and will resume shortly. The filmmakers continue to work with authorities investigating this accident. Main Unit production has not been interrupted and continues as scheduled.” “Expendables 2” is scheduled to hit theaters next August and stars Stallone, Li, Jason Statham , Bruce Willis , Arnold Schwarzenegger , Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme .
