Zayn Malik Confirms Release of "Dirty, Raw" Debut Single

Zayn Malik is officially a solo artist. The former One Direction member, whose departure from the beloved boy band left millions of young women in tears last March, has confirmed that his debut single will drop on January 29. It will be titled “Pillow Talk” and Malik is shirtless for the track’s official artwork. You may still hold a grudge against the guy for leaving Harry Styles and company high and dry and all… but you must admit: HUBBA. HUBBA. Based on the title of Malik’s upcoming song, it seems pretty clear just what topic it will cover (sex!), but in case some folks need it spelled out for them (S-E-X), Malik is here to be very up front about the basis for the single. “I think I’m pretty black and white what it’s about,” he told the British Sunday Times, adding: “Everybody has sex, and it’s something people wanna hear about. “It’s part of everybody’s life, a very BIG part of life! And you don’t wanna sweep it under the carpet. It has to be talked about.” And Malik is doing more than just talking about sex: he’s having it! The artist and Gigi Hadid are clearly a couple . But forget being a couple. Fans are dying to know if Malik will ever be part of a quintet again. Could he ever see himself rejoining One Direction? “I don’t know,” he told the newspaper, emphasizing than there’s no “beef” of any kind. “If the time was right and that was the thing to do, then I would make that decision when it came around.” One Direction , of course, is taking a hiatus for at least the rest of 2016. So we’ve got plenty of time to ponder a possible reunion.

Harry Styles: Caught Cheating on Kendall Jenner?!

Last week, Kourtney Kardashian stopped by the Ellen show and basically confirmed that Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles are dating . Now it looks like Kendall may be wishing that her big sis had held off on sharing that news with the public, as insiders are claiming that Harry’s still acting single. According to Radar Online, a 27-year-old stylist named Pandora Lennard recently spent the night at Harry’s home in London . Sources close to the situation say Harry and Pandora are longtime friends who hooked up after a night of partying over the weekend. “Everyone knew they were attracted to each other and they have been pals for a while,” says one insider. “But we didn’t think anything would happen as Harry and Kendall are officially an item. This is gobsmacking.” Reached for comment about the situation Lennard simply replied, “I have absolutely no comment to make.” Yikes. Sounds like this gloriously-coiffed couple may be over before they officially start. Rumors that they’re more than just friends began when Harry and Kendall went on vacation together  over the holidays, but neither party has spoken publicly about the relationship. Some say they’re dating, but there have also been rumors that Harry and Kendall are just hooking up . We hope that’s the case for Kendall’s sake.

50 Cent Trashes Tidal – “Why Would Jay Z Buy That?”

50 Cent Trashes Jay Z’s Tidal Service Even more criticism for Jay Z’s Tidal venture , this time coming from fellow Hip-Hop mogul 50 Cent . 50 says he feels that the whole idea was more of a corporate play, and doesn’t see the sense in purchasing a business that provides services that are already out there. Via BusinessInsider : Rapper 50 Cent is the latest musician to speak out against Jay Z’s $9.99-per-month artist-owned music-streaming service, Tidal. During an interview with the Los Angeles radio station REAL 92.3, the rapper was asked his thoughts on the service. “They probably could’ve did something more exciting if they reached out, because the people you saw there don’t even own the rights to their music,” he said. “So they can’t say it’s gonna come out of Tidal. It has to go everywhere.” Essentially, 50 Cent is saying people don’t need to pay upward of $9.99 a month for music that will be available elsewhere, including rival streaming services such as Pandora and Spotify. In other words, he says, “Why would you actually buy Tidal to get something that would be everywhere else?” In March, Jay Z debuted Tidal with a star-studded presentation that included Usher, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Kanye West, Daft Punk, Arcade Fire, Beyoncé, and many others. “Usher was there and Madonna and all these people. That’s a little bit more of a, when you say, ‘It was business,’ it’s more of a corporate play,” 50 Cent said. “When the record is playing on the air, they say, ‘Oh, all right. Let’s get this guy.’ “The companies have contracts, and companies are gonna do everything to get the maximum performance out of the music,” he added. “They’re not going to just put it through Tidal as a service.” Does he have a point, or is he hating?

Feliz Na’vi-dad! Cameron Plans To Begin Shooting Avatar Sequels By End Of 2013

James Cameron will return to Pandora next year.  The Avatar director, who attended the premiere of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey  in Wellington, New Zealand  on Wednesday, told the West Australian  (via Total Film ) that he hoped to have the scripts to Avatar 2 and 3  completed by February, and to begin shooting by the end of 2013.  Cameron, who owns a farm in New Zealand, said he was working on the scripts there, but complained that the beauty of his surroundings was “too damn distracting.” Nonetheless, the filmmaker said, “I want to get these scripts nailed down, I don’t want to be writing the movie in post-production.”  He added: “We kind of did that on the first picture, I ended up cutting out a lot of scenes and so on and I don’t want to do that again.” The blockbuster director behind Titanic, Terminator  and  Aliens has said that he’s writing Avatar 2 and 3 together and plans to shoot them back-to-back to complete one long story arc.  (He’s also suggested that an Avatar 4 could happen and the sequels could conceivably be populated with Chinese Na’vi . Cameron also predicted that Jackson’s decision to shoot  The Hobbit  at 48 frames per second — 24 is the standard — would do for high-definition filmmaking what Avatar did for 3D movies. “We charged out ahead on 3D with Avatar , now Peter’s doing it with The Hobbit . It takes that kind of bold move to make change.” [ West Australian , Total Film ]  Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.

The Wanted Move On From Christina And Take Aim At Britney Spears

Siva Kaneswaran says the band was not allowed to look at Britney Spears backstage at a Manchester show. By Gil Kaufman The Wanted Photo: Getty Images If you’re having trouble keeping the latest wave of British boy bands straight, just remember this one simple trick: The Wanted are the ones who talk tons of smack. After tearing into “The Voice” coach 
 Christina Aguilera by calling her a “total bitch” last week, and then kind of apologizing 
, the boys turned their verbal cannons on another ex-Mouseketeer. Sitting down for another radio interview in New York on Monday (their people should really consider keeping the boys off N.Y. radio, just sayin’), the lads opened up about a rather unpleasant interaction with Britney Spears’ security team in November. They said they were personally invited to open Brit’s show in Manchester and by all accounts the hook-up went swimmingly, with a cute photo op and a follow-up tweet from Spears in which she wrote, “So the boys from @thewantedmusic came to my Wembley show & we hung out backstage! Love them!” But member Tom Parker revealed that, “We signed a confidentiality thing that we should never say anything about what happened, but let’s tell it anyway.” That prompted Siva Kaneswaran to open up the legal Pandora’s box and spill, “I was in the hallway with my tour manager. Basically we were looking with a laptop, trying to get WiFi … facing the middle of the hallway. [Britney’s] bouncers came down with her and told us to face the wall.” “As Miss Spears is walking through,” added Parker. “We’re like come on!” But, since they are nice boys, Kaneswaran said, “We turned around and I faced a wall for about 10 seconds until she got really far away.” They didn’t wait long to walk this one back a bit, though. Jay McGuiness quickly followed-up with another patented Wanted semi-apology, explaining, “But honestly when we actually met her person to person, she was so down to earth. You can tell she’s a total Southern girl and Nathan [Sykes], when he was a kid, won a singing competition. She was one of the judges or something. And she gave him a kiss, it was one of his first kisses as a kid. So he got to meet her again and support her.” Last week, when MTV News’ Sway spoke to the boys they were in a similarly feisty mood, with Parker claiming that Justin Bieber had smacked Kaneswaran in his crown jewels when they performed with the “Boyfriend” singer. “He [Kaneswaran] came up to me in the dressing room and said, ‘Why’s he picking on me?'” Parker joked. As for Spears, at the time, Sykes said, “She’s lovely as well. We haven’t really met people who aren’t very nice and Britney was just very, very nice. She was kind of what you’d expect her to be, very happy and American.” And, Parker said, even though her bodyguards were kind of scary, Britney, he said, had “lovely teeth.” Related Videos MTV First: The Wanted Exclusive: Follow The Wanted Around NYC!

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season Finale: Dramatic? Or a Dud?

The season started with a suicide and ended with a wedding. In between, we saw just how low Taylor Armstrong would sink; watched the struggles of Kyle Richards and an eventually rehab-bound Kim ; and slogged through Lisa Vanderpump planning her daughter’s big day, which came to fruition last night . But was this is a worthwhile payoff? Did anyone really care about Pandora’s wedding, especially when it shoved Kim and Taylor so far off to the sideline? Yes, the finale concluded with the women at Kyle’s house, sort of talking about Russell Armstrong’s passing , but even then Pandora’s wedding remained a topic of conversation. Was the episode a letdown? What did you think of this conclusion to season two?
