The pilot claiming he had a six-year gay affair with John Travolta is negotiating to reveal all the details in an explosive tell-all book, reports say. Doug Gotterba was John’s pilot in the ’80s, and according to Doug, his former secretary and Doug’s ex-boyfriend, he and the actor were lovers. The Enquirer reports that Doug already has two writers lined up to help him tell his story, “confirmed his desire” to expose everything he knows. “It could be a marriage-ender,” an insider told the Enquirer , saying that the book could be career-crushing and devastating to John’s wife, Kelly Preston. “Even though she wasn’t married to John at the time, she’s already been terribly humiliated by this ugly scandal that doesn’t seem to end.” “A book by a man who John carried on with for years could simply be too much.” After all, it follows a month that saw two masseurs come forward to slap John with lawsuits – later dropped – claiming he was sexually aggressive. Since then, more men have stepped forward claiming much of the same, though the actor vehemently denies all allegations via his attorney. [Photo: WENN.com]

‘Everybody’s in a different place. Jay’s my man,’ Nas tells MTV News of 2002 plan to perform a mock lynching of Hova as a concert stunt. By Rob Markman Nas Photo: MTV News No doubt, Nas versus Jay-Z was rap’s most intriguing battle. Even though the artists have made peace, there is something about the legendary clash of the lyrical titans that piques the interest of rap fans, even though more than a decade has passed. Earlier this month, a video titled “Nas Hanging Jay-Z” popped up on YouTube, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the over-the-top stunt God’s Son had planned for Hot 97’s 2002 Summer Jam concert . Before he pulled out of the all-star hip-hop concert, Nas had plotted to perform a mock lynching of his then-rival Jay-Z onstage, but these days, the Queens, New York, rap legend does not want to feed into the negativity. “I really don’t even want to acknowledge it,” Nas told MTV News on Tuesday. “Everybody’s in a different place. I don’t even want to acknowledge it. I can’t acknowledge that. Jay’s my man, and that’s that, that’s all I’m gonna say.” You can imagine Nas’ difficulty with the subject considering he and Hov buried the hatchet years ago, but back in 2002, things were rocky, to say the least. A year after Jay-Z debuted his Mobb Deep and Nas dis track “Takeover,” Nas aimed to return the favor with an attack of his own on Hot 97’s storied Summer Jam stage. Things didn’t work out as planned: Once the radio station caught wind of Nas’ intentions, it put constraints on his performance and he pulled out of the show. The recently unearthed video documented the creation of an animatronic Jay-Z figure that Nas wanted to hang and the gallows from which he planned to hang the figure. Nas did not appear in the clip, but it was edited with his 2001 track “What Goes Around” playing in the background. It was the hottest story in rap at the time, but 10 years later, it comes off as a moot point. In 2005, Nas and Jay-Z squashed their beef onstage at Power 105.1’s Power House concert in New Jersey, and then a year later, God’s Son signed to Def Jam Records , where Jay held a position as label president. The two have since collaborated on a number of songs, including “Success,” “Black President” and Ludacris’ “I Do It for Hip-Hop.” Should Nas acknowledge the recently unearthed video?

Today, Catelynn and Tyler have revealed that they’re expecting!

‘They didn’t really consider the whole bodily-functions thing,’ actor tells MTV News. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Andrew Garfield in “The Amazing Spider-Man” Photo: Sony Pictures No matter how cool Andrew Garfield looks in that brand-new Spidey costume for Sony’s highly anticipated reboot, “The Amazing Spider-Man,” the fancy hi-tech outfit has a few kinks. Garfield recently revealed to MTV News that if he could make one change or improvement to the costume before suiting up again for the already scheduled sequel , he’d request an escape hatch, so to speak. “We’re going to make it easier for me to piss,” he joked. “That’s #1. “It’s like you have to body-shoehorn yourself out of it,” Garfield continued, explaining the difficulty of getting in and out of the suit for important tasks like using the restroom. “It looks good, but they didn’t really consider that, the whole bodily-functions thing. But next time we will remember that I am human.” We then suggested that an alternative would be to just have it be sewn up from the start and designed to absorb any, uh, emissions. “Ha! Just have a colostomy made, yeah, it would be just like a wet suit, I’d just keep warm. Oh boy, that’s disgusting,” Garfield said, adding that the only other big challenge in proper maneuvering in his Spidey suit was getting accustomed to seeing out of his mask, the design of which they can’t really adjust or change. “That was tough as well, but I don’t think we can readjust that because the eyes have to be the eyes,” he said. “That was hard, visibility was hard, especially for the bigger stunts because you need to know what you’re doing.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Amazing Spider-Man.” For breaking news and previews of the latest comic book movies — updated around the clock — visit SplashPage.MTV.com .

‘It could have been one of the most incredible records ever,’ he says of his attempt to record with Winehouse. By Gil Kaufman, with additional reporting by Christina Garibaldi Usher Photo: MTV News It’s one of the great R&B duets that never was. While Usher was working on his seventh studio album, Looking 4 Myself , he was determined to take fans on a musical journey and experiment with sounds he’d never explored before. So, in addition to teaming up with Diplo for the seductive lead single, “Climax,” , as well as EDM giants Swedish House Mafia, Usher said he sought out producer Salaam Remi because he was very interested in doing a song with Remi protege, Amy Winehouse , before the singer died unexpectedly died at age 27 in July 2011. “We met and we talked about it for a moment when I saw her,” Usher said of a brief sit-down with the troubled crooner to discuss the potential soul summit. “There was a few conversations that took place, but we never quite made it to it … I would have loved it.” One of those talks occurred while the unlikely duo were shopping at the ritzy London department store Selfridges. “I was shopping and she was doing some private shopping and she came out and we kind of crossed each other’s [paths] and, [I was like] ‘Is that Amy Winehouse?’ … And before you know it we talked and exchanged information and I invited her to a show … and she didn’t come.” Winehouse was out of the country at the time and sent a relative to the gig in her stead, but that missed connection has stuck with Usher to this day. “It could have been one of the most incredible records ever,” he said. “A voice like that comes once in a lifetime.” Usher still wanted to get in the studio with Remi, and though it was a hard time for the producer, the pair met in New York and worked it out. “The style and the sound that we worked, I felt would definitely compliment what he does as a producer and what I have to offer.” The story that the two explored on “Sins of My Father” was a new one for Usher, who had never spoken about his feelings for his dad in song before. “That was a hard one, but he gave me a palette that really worked.” Related Videos MTV News Extended Play: Usher
Before the ‘Mad Max’ star ‘skinned the cat,’ Natalie Portman, Demi Moore and more had also shaved it all off for movie roles. By Jocelyn Vena Charlize Theron and her son Jackson Photo: FameFlynet Charlize Theron made headlines on Monday when she was spotted sporting a shaved head for her role in “Mad Max: Fury Road.” The blond Oscar-winner might have been trying to hide the look under a fedora, but it was clear that her locks had been handed their pink slip. The haircut might have come as a surprise to fans of the “Snow White and the Huntsman” star, but she certainly teased it in a recent discussion about the flick. “It’s been three years: It’s time to skin this cat already!” Theron said last month during a roundtable interview. “I’m very excited about it.” To see other female stars imagined with shaved heads, click here. However, Theron is hardly the first Hollywood starlet to shear off her hair for a big-screen role. She joins an A-list filled list of other leading ladies who have also “skinned the cat.” Sigourney Weaver and Robin Tunney Weaver not only kicks ass and takes names as the iconic Ripley in “Alien 3,” but she also sports a super short hairdo. Ripley certainly didn’t need hair to hold her back as she battled alien creatures in the 1992 film. Three years later, Tunney donned the look for her troubled character in the classic teen flick, “Empire Records,” starting the hair-trimming trend of the ’90s. Demi Moore Moore went Navy chic in “G.I. Jane,” lopping off her famous hair to tackle her physically challenging role in the 1997 film. “We were involved and we realized the importance of the event happening — that sign of commitment. … I was ready for it. So, I feel actually more just liberated by the time we got there,” she said of filming the famous scene in which her character, Jordan O’Neill, chops it all off. Cate Blanchett In 2002, Blanchett cut her hair off playing a vigilante out for justice in “Heaven.” “I think you’ve just got to embrace it,” she later said of the look. “You have to be prepared to shed your natural vanity, and if the part requires it, shed parts of yourself that perhaps make you feel more secure.” Ellen Page and Natalie Portman Page joined a cult and lost her hair in the 2005 flick “Mouth to Mouth,” which she made right before her star-making turn in “Juno.” That same year, Natalie Portman chopped her hair off for “V for Vendetta.” In an interview shortly after filming, she opened up about filming the scene. “It was a one-shot deal,” she told USA Today, “and that was the most stressful thing about the experience.” Cynthia Nixon Nixon went fully bald for her recent role in “Wit” on Broadway. “I thought it was kind of gonna be no muss-no fuss, but I have to shave it every day!” Nixon said of the up-keep for the role. “It’s got kind of a five o’clock shadow, and you don’t want to go on with that,” she said. “I was always kind of curious to see what it would be like. I like it; I don’t think I’m gonna keep it forever.” Anne Hathaway Recently, Hathaway caught everyone’s attention when she sported a super-short pixie cut for her role in the latest big-screen adaptation of “Les Miserables.” The look is consistent with her role in the film, where she plays Fantine, an ill-fated prostitute who chops off her hair to buy food for her child, Cosette.

‘We might have to call it something different now ’cause that’s just so attached to ‘The Motto,’ ‘ Drake tells MTV News of Rick Ross collabo. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Drake Photo: MTV News Lord knows when fans will get that tag-team mixtape from Drake and Rick Ross , but when it does come, the project — which was once dubbed Y.O.L.O. — might get a name change. “That title has become so … it’s like an epidemic. So I hope by the time we finish it, it would still hold weight and substance,” Drake told MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway of the mixtape title, which stands for “You Only Live Once.” “We might have to call it something different now ’cause that’s just so attached to ‘The Motto.’ ” What was originally slated as an iTunes bonus song on Drizzy’s Take Care ended up one of the biggest singles from his sophomore project. “The Motto,” which also features Lil Wayne, peaked at #1 on Billboard ‘s Rap Songs chart, and thanks to its hook, popularized the phrase “Y.O.L.O.” or “You Only Live Once.” “Now she wants a photo/ You already know, though/ You only live once/ That’s the motto, n—a, Y.O.L.O.,” Drake spits on the track’s hook. Both Drizzy and Rozay have confirmed they’ve already recorded a number of tracks for the tape, but the project is not complete. Ross believes the tape would be so big that it could actually be a retail release rather than a free download online. “It’s official, the music is most definitely official,” Ross told “RapFix Live” during an appearance back in November. “But, me being a boss, I’m trying to find a way that we could put that on the shelves for the world, baby. But it’s most definitely official.” What’s your favorite Drake and Rick Ross collaboration? Share your pick in the comments! Related Videos Drake’s ‘Road To Paradise’ Related Artists Drake Rick Ross
Summer movie season is here, and once again talk turns to Olivia Wilde . Olivia’s career started skinfully enough with her topless scene in Alpha Dog (2006), but (as you may recall) last summer she faked us out (twice!) with CGI flames covering her seat meat in Cowboys & Aliens (2011) and full-on faux CGI nudes in The Change-Up (2011). We haven’t heard much from Olivia since these crimes against BOOBmanity, but now it appears she’s attempting to make amends with a nude role in the indie art flick Deadfall (2012) . Olivia plays Liza, a thief and con woman on the run from the law with her brother Addison ( Eric Bana ), and according to early reviews she bares her moneymakers…for real this time. They don’t have the budget for CGI nudity in this flick: “Liza (Wilde)…in short order is showing her breasts because this is an “arty” movie and not “TRON Legacy, ” critic Drew Taylor writes in his review for Indiewire . Jerry Cavallaro of We Are Movie Geeks is less cynical in his review, saying her ” loved the hell out of ” the movie and that “the film has plenty of other great things going for it like some wonderful visuals, thrilling action set pieces, the beautiful Kate Mara, and unnecessary Olivia Wilde nudity.” We only have one small correction: when it’s Olivia Wilde we’re talking about, all nudity is completely necessary. Deadfall hits theaters September 7 , so tide yourself over with pics and clips of Olivia Wilde nude in Alpha Dog (2006) right here at MrSkin.com!
