‘Let’s go, Most Dope versus Taylor Gang. It’s on,’ Mac Miller said on ‘RapFix Live,’ hyping up the backstage competition between him and Wiz. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Mac Miller and Wiz Khalifa on “RapFix Live” Photo: Natasha Chandel/ MTV News When Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller hit the road together this summer, the good times will roll no doubt. But who will have more fun: the fans or the headliners? During their nine-city Under the Influence of Music run , the Pittsburgh boys are planning plenty of backstage fun. “Your little crew better get your little selves together, ’cause T.G.O.D. is coming,” Wiz told Mac, playfully threatening his labelmate when they both appeared on “RapFix Live” on April 25. “Let’s go, Most Dope versus Taylor Gang. It’s on,” Mac responded all smiles, pumping up his rap crew. Wiz and company get plenty competitive on the road. Fans got a taste of the fun in Khalifa’s second “Taylor Gang” video , which he released in September. The Bill Paladino-directed clip is composed of concert footage from Wiz’s 2011 Rolling Papers Tour. In addition to onstage shots, there are plenty of clips of team T.G.O.D. playing pranks and shooting Super Soaker water guns. “We play basketball, water fights, we ride bikes,” Wiz said of the Taylors’ backstage antics. “We’re gonna climb mountains on bikes.” Last year, Wiz and Mac went out on the Green Carpet Tour , but their respective careers have grown exponentially since then and anticipation for their latest run is building. Mac is particularly excited. “We should do team building. Can we do safety falls?” he asked Wiz with a child-like glee. “Absolutely not,” Wiz barked, keeping up the faux-feud they cooked up for the “RapFix” episode. “We’re gonna play board games, we’re gonna have mind fights to see who’s mind is stronger.” Who do you think is the stronger crew Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang or Mac Miller’s Most Dope?

New featurette is dedicated to late star of original soap, Jonathan Frid. By John Mitchell Johnny Depp in “Dark Shadows” Photo: Warner Bros With just two weeks left until the big release of “Dark Shadows,” Warner Bros. is stoking the coals of excitement with a new featurette that brings not only behind-the-scenes interviews and footage, but offers up an important new plot detail from the film. “The legend of the vampire has been told for centuries, capturing the dark shadows of our imagination and inspiring filmmakers and actors to breathe new life into the undead,” a voice-over reminds us at the top of the clip. “But there’s never been a vampire like Barnabas Collins.” Depp said the idea to do the film came naturally to him and Burton, who have worked together on eight films. “I’d always been sort of attracted to horror films and things like that, even as a very young kid,” Depp explains. “I said, ‘Tim, we should do a vampire movie together.’ ” And when Johnny Depp and Tim Burton decide to do something, it has a way of getting done. A large part of the featurette focuses on the history of vampires in movies and reminds us that one of cinema’s great vampires, Christopher Lee, is featured in “Shadows.” “One of my favorite moments I’ve ever been able to experience in a film was I got to hypnotize Dracula; I got to hypnotize Christopher Lee,” Depp says. “He was, you know, the great Dracula.” To get into character as Barnabas Collins, Depp didn’t stray far from the source material. “For Barnabas, everywhere I searched character-wise, I kept coming back to Jonathan Frid,” the actor explains. “He really did something beautiful with that character on the ‘Dark Shadows’ series back in the ’60s and early ’70s.” Frid, who cameos in the film and is shown arriving at a party at Collinwood in the featurette, died earlier this month in his native Canada. The clip closes with an “In Memoriam” dedication to the classically trained actor, who maintained a close relationship with the show’s fans by appearing at “Shadows” conventions and readings as recently as 2011, before his health began to decline. The clip features some great new scenes from the film, including a fun bit where Depp’s Barnabas seeks advice from Chloe Moretz’s Carolyn Stoddard on “the art of courting a woman of this time,” but importantly introduces a major plot twist that we wondered (all the way back in October!) whether Burton would include in his film: Barnabas’ attempt to de-fang himself with the help of Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter) and become mortal again to pursue a romantic relationship with Bella Heathcote’s Victoria Winters. “If a man can become a monster, then a monster can become a man,” Barnabas says in a voice-over while Dr. Hoffman surveys large blood-filled beakers and Depp sits with IV lines running from him. It’s a story line carried over directly from both the original soap and its short-lived ’90s remake. (Indeed, this particular story line was the focus of NBC’s revival starring Ben Cross and Joanna Going.) “By tapping into vampires, witches, ghosts, the reason they’re powerful is because we all kind of experience those feelings on some level,” Burton says of the film. “It’s something that remains in our popular culture because it’s strangely part of our everyday lives.” Just two weeks to go, “Dark Shadows” fans!

Women don’t like when men come too soon, and neither do cops. Chicago Speeder Arrested For Driving 111 MPH To Have Sex A Chicago-area man who allegedly was clocked driving 111 mph through a 45 mph forest preserve told a patrol officer he was in a hurry to “try to go have sex with a girl he liked.” Zachary P. Ramirez, 21, of Naperville, which lies about 20 miles west of downtown Chicago, was caught speeding through Springbrook Prairie Forest Preserve last Saturday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Police Sgt. Gregg Bell told the paper an officer saw Ramirez’s 1994 Honda Prelude run a red light, then run a stop sign. Another officer pulled him over and asked him why he was traveling so fast. For sex, he said. The officer’s radar unit initially clocked the car traveling at 104 mph “and finally locked at 111 (mph),” Bell told the Sun-Times. Police also allegedly found 0.2 grams of marijuana in the car. Ramirez faces charges of speeding 40 mph or more over the limit, according to the paper. He also was charged with drug possession, disobeying a traffic light and disobeying a stop sign. Ramirez is free on $200 bond, the Sun-Times reported. His arraignment date is pending. Suffice to say, that this young man learned a valuable lesson. Take your time getting to the poon-tang, it will save you a lot of trouble in the end! Source More On Bossip!

British boy band The Wanted performed on The Voice, and didn’t hesitate to describe one of the less fun aspects of that experience in an interview. That being Christina Aguilera. The judge “is a total bitch,” the band’s Tony Parker ranted to Now FM, in an interview that has since been yanked from YouTube. He continues: “She might not be a total bitch in real life, but to us, she was a total bitch … she just sat there and didn’t speak to us. Wouldn’t even look at us.” “She was quite rude,” Siva Kaneswaran (second from right), added, backing up the claim by Parker (second from left). “I mean, Who does that?” Max George (middle) chimed in, “She was a bit scary, to be honest.” When asked to compare their time on The Voice with their recent appearance on American Idol , George said, “J. Lo’s hot, Christina’s nothing special.” The Wanted performed on The Voice the same night Justin Bieber showed up to debut a preview of his “Boyfriend” video, and said that Aguilera was equally cold to the “Baby” crooner, making a weird face as Bieber went in for a hug. Aguilera, for her part, denies she snubbed anyone : “Haha,” she tweeted. “Can’t a girl have a little Bieber Fever after getting kissed by the Biebs?”
My name is Toni. On Sunday 22nd April I stayed at the airport all night to wait for Justin. My friend and I were the only ones there. I didn’t sleep at all. Finally the time came when Justin arrived, he got mobbed so badly but I didn’t as Scooter had asked everyone to stay back and said, “If you all get into a line Justin will take pictures with everyone” but no one listened. I was standing talking to Scooter and he said he would get Justin to take a picture with me but it got too dangerous so they had to leave, but at one point I was standing next to Justin and he smiled at me. When he was getting into the car, Scooter said, “If you care about his safety then make a pathway for him”. Of course I did but people started to pull him. I was screaming at them, “Get off him, you’re going to hurt him” and pulling people away from him. On Monday night I camped outside the hotel, there was only 4 of us. Scooter came out and we spoke to him for 45 minutes. He said to me, “I remember you from the airport, thank you for helping him” Then I got a picture with him. I was so happy , Scooter was so lovely. He then said, “I promise you guys if you go home or some where warm, you will meet Justin” . We all said we would and then I asked Scooter, “Will you ask Alfredo if he will come to Starbucks with me?” which he replied, “Yeah sure I will, but I have to go get some sleep, it was really great to meet you”. The next morning I met Justin when he was leaving. He rolled down his window in the car and was talking to us, and I gave him my letter. Then I sat in Starbucks, I came outside and bumped into Alfredo and got a picture with him . I said, “Alfredo I’ve been tweeting you for ages to see if you’ll come to Starbucks with us and Scooter said he’d tell you as well” To which he replied, “Yeah I know, I’m sorry I went without you”. I was going to go home that night but I was determined to meet Justin as Scooter promised I would and guess what? Scooter kept to that promise! On Tuesday night Justin and Alfredo came out of the hotel on there own and took pictures with us and asked how long we had been there. Alfredo said, “You are crazy”. Then I asked him about Starbucks again and he laughed at me. I t was so cute. Then they said, “Please don’t follow us” and we all said “We won’t dont worry, thank you so much for coming to see us”. Then we all saw Niall Horan from One Direction. He was inside the hotel but security wouldn’t let him take pictures because they supposedly didn’t have time. Justin has changed my life in so many ways, everyone always told me I would never meet him but I kept telling myself, “I will meet him, NEVER SAY NEVER”. If it wasn’t for Justin I wouldn’t be alive today. I’m staying strong for him because he’d hate to see me hurting myself. I’m so grateful that I had the chance to meet the guy who saved my life (not just saying that, he literally saved me when I was in hospital, I would have tried to do what I did again otherwise). I promise you all that if you DREAM & ARE PERSISTENT YOU WILL GET TO MEET HIM ONE DAY! – @ToniBieberDemi6 Excerpt from: My name is Toni. On Sunday 22nd April I stayed at the airport…
Departed artists like Whitney Houston, Queen’s Freddie Mercury and John Lennon also get mentions from fans in Times Square. By Kate Callahan Michael Jackson Photo: Sony Music Entertainment NEW YORK — After the Tupac hologram performance at Coachella made such a huge splash, the team behind the projection system floated the possibility this week of an Elvis hologram to perform with Justin Bieber . Even ’90s girl group TLC is rumored to be considering a virtual version of the late Left Eye on their upcoming tour. With all that talk, MTV News hit Times Square to ask fans which departed artists they would most like to see perform in hologram form. While some of those interviewed wanted to see other rappers like the Notorious B.I.G. or Nate Dogg, one fan thought Whitney Houston should get the honors. “I love her, I grew up singing her [songs], just walking around the house when I was seven or eight,” Shayana of Houston said. Brits Amy Winehouse and John Lennon of the Beatles were also popular picks, and a few rock fans mentioned Queen’s flamboyant frontman. “It would have to be Freddie Mercury because Queen were one of the all-time greatest bands and he was a showman,” said a fan named Rob. Blane Mader would like to see a hologram of another great showman, Michael Jackson . “It’s a really clich
Seoul, South Korea, set list heavy on new material, but Gaga’s biggest hits come out to play. By John Mitchell Lady Gaga arrives in Seoul on April 20 Photo: Getty Images Lady Gaga kicked off her hotly awaited Born This Way Ball at Seoul, South Korea’s Olympic Stadium on Friday (April 27) in front of 45,000 fans, and despite protests from Christian groups saying Mother Monster was “obscene” and could “taint” young people with her performance, the concert appears to have gone on without incident. Intrepid Twitter fans are already showing off pictures and video of the BTW Ball’s enormous Gothic castle backdrop and myriad costume changes, making it clear that Gaga has outdone even her own Monster Ball in terms of spectacle. While we wait for reviews to trickle in from halfway around the world, one thing is certain: No minors were corrupted at the show. Earlier this month, the Korea Media Rating Board decided to elevate the age rating for the concert from 12 to 18, prohibiting minors from seeing the concert. When the board notified Gaga’s tour promotion company and a sponsor of the change in age restrictions, it did not offer a reason why the show — which at the time was still in rehearsals and has not been reviewed publicly — was considered unsuitable for children under 18. The likely catalyst for the board’s decision came more into focus as the concert neared and protests from a group of conservative Christians calling itself the Alliance for Sound Culture in Sexuality ramped up. The group covered Seoul with posters accusing Gaga of “spreading unhealthy sexual culture” through “lewd lyrics and performances.” The superstar and her fans, however, were undeterred. Though she tweeted her hopes that the Korea Media Rating Board would reverse its decision (it didn’t), she continued on as planned. Many fans reportedly arrived at the show wearing versions of Gaga’s most well-known flamboyant costumes, and there have been no reports of disturbances at the concert. Before the show, Gaga tweeted , “I can you hear you Korea. I’m shaking.” Gaga’s performance was heavy on material from her Born this Way album, though her biggest hits, including “Bad Romance,” Poker Face” and “Just Dance,” were represented.
