Loni Love Cries While Thanking Co-Hosts For Accepting Weight Loni Love is typically all jokes and smiles on The Real Daytime , but she stopped wearing her happy face for a few minutes while thanking her -for always making her feel accepted and good about herself despite her weight. “These ladies make me feel really at home and welcome about my body. They don’t tease me,” she said before breaking into tears. “I don’t feel good about myself sometimes so thank you. The public compares me. They don’t.” She also had special thanks for the glam squad on the show, for always making sure her outfits and looks are just as on point as the rest of the women. “It is harder to dress a bigger woman. No matter what anybody wants to say, it’s harder. When you’re not the sample size…When you get into the [size] 20s, it’s hard. But the thing about this show is that we have people that go out, they’re determined, and even the designers like Ralph Lauren Calvin Klein are designing for us.” Good for Loni! That has to be a HUGE change for her from getting constantly poked with fat and Black jokes from her coworkers like she did during her days on Chelsea Lately!
Unbroken singer tells MTV News she ‘tried to make it a little more empowering.’ By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato Photo: MTV News Demi Lovato is back to performing live. And in addition to singing tracks off of her just-released album Unbroken , she’s also dazzling crowds with her stirring first-person rendition of Lil Wayne’s “How to Love.” Video of her singing the track has become a viral smash, and when MTV News caught up with the “Skyscraper” singer on Wednesday afternoon (September 21), she seemed pumped to talk about the cover. “I just loved the way that Lil Wayne took a risk doing the song ‘How to Love,’ and when I really listened to it, it’s such a great song.” The song is about a damaged young woman who has never really known the power of true love, but finds strengths in her experiences as the song closes out. Lovato found a female empowerment theme in the single and decided to perform it as the female character. “It has such a deep meaning to it and I wanted to perform that and I put a little spin on it and tried to make it a little more empowering,” she explained. “And I think it fit with the platform and the message that I have with my fans.” So, has Lovato heard from Wayne about her acoustic version? “No, I haven’t,” she said. “If I did, I would die of happiness.” Lovato was equally excited when we asked whether fans might soon catch her performing the track onstage with Wayne. “Oh, I don’t know,” she said. “Oh my gosh, that would be amazing. I’ve never met him in my life, so if I got to be on stage with him, I would just die.” Do you think Wayne and Demi should perform the song together? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!

‘It’s a very, very tricky part, and he was really at home with it,’ co-star Paul Giamatti tells MTV News. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson Photo: FilmMagic We’ve got a load of questions about Robert Pattinson’s “Cosmopolis,” chief among them how director David Cronenberg intends to adapt a novel, penned by postmodern wizard Don DeLillo, which takes place in one day, largely within one traffic-stalled limousine. It all makes sense on the page, with so much of the action in this novel of ideas taking place in the head of Eric Packer, a young and rich asset manager who every so often hops out of his ride to sleep with women and get into violent confrontations with menacing strangers. But how all this plays out — and how strictly Cronenberg, who also penned the script, sticks to the source material — remains to be seen. If we can read into co-star Paul Giamatti’s recent comments to MTV News, it seems the film and book will retain one key similarity: It’s all about Packer. “He’s in every second of this movie,” Giamatti said of Pattinson while promoting “The Ides of March” at the Toronto International Film Festival. “The whole thing is him.” That’s a lot of pressure for a young actor who has shined in the “Twilight” films and taken on romantic dramas like “Remember Me” and “Water for Elephants,” yet has never worked with such dark, cerebral material — and a director so comfortable with such things. Nonetheless, Giamatti says Pattinson nailed the role. “He seemed absolutely great. It’s a very, very tricky part, and he was really at home with it,” he told us. “I was really impressed.” The novel intercuts, every so often, the psychotic musings of Benno Levin, the character played by Giamatti . “I get to stalk him,” the actor told us at Sundance back in January. That’s not all he does. We’ll leave it at that, lest we dive into spoiler territory. But the story gets dark. Really dark. And that’s right up Cronenberg’s alley, a director who made his name in the horror genre and has lately taken on brashly violent material like “Eastern Promises.” Cronenberg the man, however, is very different than Cronenberg the filmmaker, Giamatti assured us. “[He’s an] incredibly sane man, when you think about the movies he makes,” he said. “He’s an incredibly grounded and sweet, sane guy. It was pure pleasure. I had a great time doing it. I’m a big fan of his, so that was a very exciting thing.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Cosmopolis.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
