‘I’m certainly more optimistic than I was four months ago,’ David Cross tells MTV News about returning to the Bluth household. By Josh Wigler David Cross Photo: MTV News “Arrested Development” fans across the world rejoiced in early October when it was announced that the cult comedy classic would make a comeback in the form of a new television miniseries and movie . Since then, Netflix has come aboard to host the new “Arrested” series , adding further hope to the fact that this time, finally, for serious, no fakesies or backsies, the Bluths are really returning to the screen. Even David Cross — who starred on the show as world-renowned analrapist (that’s analyst/therapist, you pervs) Tobias F
Look who’s got words to say in his defense all of a sudden. Almost four months after pleading guilty to having unlawful sex with a minor and being sentenced to less than a year in prison , Shane Sparks has written an open-letter to the world to let us all know he really wasn’t responsible for taking advantage of a 12-year-old. To the dance industry, peers and fans, “Within the last few years of my life I have encountered many difficulties, all while being unable to freely speak and share my side of the story. The truth of the matter is that when I was in my early twenties, over 17 years ago, I began seeing a young lady who I thought at the time was of age. She was an employee at (a well known Los Angeles) dance studio, where I was a dance instructor. My biggest regret and mistake was not making sure that she was over 18 when I began a physical relationship with her. This young lady’s mother was fully aware and knew that her daughter and I were seeing one another, and consented to the relationship, while leading me to believe that her daughter was older. Nevertheless, I apologize to her and her daughter for any harm I may have caused them. For a few years now, I’ve had to deal with the public humiliation and personal strife of being condemned by heinous and false accusations. The case is now over and I was eventually charged and convicted of one count of having sexual relations with a minor, and my punishment was to engage in counseling, which I have already began, and I may have to complete four months in a private jail facility. After my case was over, TMZ released an inaccurate story stating that there were six other ladies who had been assaulted by me which is completely false. Statements by my attorney and the prosecuting attorney from the District Attorney’s Office will confirm how false and misleading TMZ’s story was. I am disappointed and hurt that TMZ would report such a false story without first checking the facts, by contacting the District Attorney’s Office. Deputy District Attorney: Alison A.W. Meyers wrote a legal statement proving that I was cleared of TMZ’s accusations stating that other minors came forward as victims. “While the case was pending against Mr. Sparks, no other chargeable victims ever came forward to discuss with me any allegations of the defendant having (sexual encounters) with them when they were underage.” – DDA Alison A.W. Meyers I am taking all the necessary steps to move towards a positive path and clear my name so I may be remembered as a man of faith, and a talented dancer/choreographer, and leave behind a legacy my loved one’s can be proud of. I can only hope that people will finally hear my side of the story and be forgiving instead of believing false accusations that the media highlights. I would like to thank my family, friends, and supporters for standing by my side and providing me with their strength during this trying time in my life. I love you all, and will be forever grateful.” -Shane Sparks Yeah… you know what? Maybe you should have lead with this in 2009 when you first got popped. And if you had the consent of the mother of your underage girlfriend who looked six years older than she was, why would your lawyer let you cop a plea instead of fighting to defend yourself? Source
What does it take to revive a passion for one’s work, years on, whether said vocation is saving the world or churning out sequels in a blockbuster franchise? How does one reclaim human contact in today’s isolating, gadget-dependent world? These are questions IMF agent Ethan Hunt and his portrayer Tom Cruise face in Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol , Cruise’s fourth outing in the spy series, directed entertainingly enough by Pixar veteran Brad Bird . If the hoodied Cruise evokes a touch of Eminem-level moodiness in the posters, it’s with good reason: Stopping a maniacal supervillain may be on the docket yet again, but this time around Ethan Hunt has gone emo.
Sofia Vergara, Martin Scorsese, Kenneth Branagh also celebrating their nominations. By Jocelyn Vena Angelina Jolie Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images On Thursday (December 15), the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced its nominees for the Golden Globe Awards . Sofia Vergara, Woody Harrelson, Rashida Jones and Gerard Butler all woke up bright and early to present the list of names, and one of those announcers even found herself with a nod. “Modern Family” star Vergara is up for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role, and she quickly took to Twitter to share her excitement. “Celebrating with cake at 5am my Golden Globe nomination,” she wrote . She is hardly the only person excited about the recognition. “Hugo” director Martin Scorsese, up for Best Director, quickly released a statement. “Making ‘Hugo’ was an extraordinary experience for me. It gave me a chance to work in 3D, which I’ve wanted to do since I was young; it allowed me to make a child’s adventure, the type of picture that I loved when I was young; and it provided an occasion to pay tribute to one of the cinema’s greatest pioneers, Georges M
Talk That Talk leadoff broke records and quickly became a definitive single for the unstoppable star. By Jason Kaufman Rihanna Photo: Getty Images Rihanna ‘s “We Found Love” didn’t have that many days on the calendar to make an impact — after all, it was just released in October. But that didn’t stop it from being the chart monster of the fall as well as #3 on MTV’s Best Songs of 2011 . It was a classic upon arrival, a song that immediately felt like it had been here forever instead of just three short months. The leadoff single from Talk That Talk is where Rihanna fully embraced EDM . Produced by Calvin Harris, “We Found Love” is a swirling party track about love and loss, the rare song that manages to be sad and joyous all at once. And it is a pinnacle of the pop/dance crossover, a throwback to ’90s raves that could make even the most stoic lover of pop want to break out a glow stick and just dance. MTV correspondent Sway Calloway moderated a spirited roundtable discussion with some of our very own experts: James Montgomery and Rob Markman (MTV News), Yomi Desalu and Malika Quemerais (MTV Music and Talent) and Tamar Anitai and Nicole James (MTV.com). The panel managed to narrow down the Best Songs of 2011, with “We Found Love” besting top 10 tracks from the Throne, Chris Brown and Katy Perry. Just how did “We Found Love” hit #3? Watch the debate below! “That song came out and went to #1, and when a song has that kind of impact that quickly, it deserves to be recognized,” Quemerais said during the discussion. Montgomery went even further in his personal Top 25 Songs of 2011 column : “A few weeks ago, someone told me ‘We Found Love’ would ultimately end up being Rihanna’s signature hit, and at the time, I sort of laughed him off. But the more I think about it, he may be right. Or at least on the right track. “From the icy synth strains to Calvin Harris’ hard-charging pre-chorus, it most certainly is the song that best represents pop, circa 2011, and given RiRi’s standing in the field, perhaps in time, it will become her set-closing number too. For now, at least, I’m content to bask in “Love” ‘s masterful mix of the carnal and, well, the club.” Get more of Montgomery’s personal picks for the Top Songs of the Year! Beyond being a definitive pop dance track, “WFL” was also a historic single for Rihanna. “Love” just completed its climb to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, giving Rihanna her 11th #1 hit, which puts her one ahead of Stevie Wonder and Janet Jackson. “It’s the symbolic one that breaks the record and she gets credit for that,” Markman said during the debate. Our panel of experts thinks there’s no stopping “We Found Love” from dominating the year ahead. “I think this song is going to carry over into much of 2012,” Anitai said. “Then maybe it will be on next year’s list,” Montgomery added. The “We Found Love” video director breaks down the song below. All this week, watch “AMTV” on MTV every day at 8 a.m. ET for our Best of 2011 lists.

SMH at this lady: Fed up with crime, a Flint homeowner is fighting back. With words. Eight words are spray painted, on a piece of plywood, covering the front window of a vacant home on N. Chevrolet near Berkley on Flint’s north side. One word intentionally used to send a strong message. “This house is a reflection of ignorant n—as,” read the black homeowner who made the sign. The last word? The N-word. The last two letters a-s, not e-r. At her asking, we’re not going to identify her. She says the windows were ripped out by thieves so they could get at scrap metal. She says she had been fixing up the home to use it to help the homeless. “They’re hustling out here. It’s a domino effect and yet we sit back and do nothing in the community,” she said. “I can understand just how frustrated the lady is. Somebody stole my pipes out of this house before I got here,” said neighbor Ladale Woods. The single mother of two, attending college and taking marketing classes, says her intent was to make a statement to those committing crime. “Evidently I got my message across because you guys are here. Well done. I did what I was supposed to do.” “I know who I am. I know where I’m going so the word does not define me. Not at all.” The woman did spray paint over the word Monday because people were offended by it. But she stands firm, fed up with crime in her city. Crime that this time hit too close to home. Frances Gilcreast, Flint Branch NAACP president, called used of the word hurtful, adding ignorance comes in all colors. Thoughts?? Check out the video HERE Source More On Bossip!

‘I feel so blessed that my son Dallas Xavier was born healthy,’ says singer, who gave birth Tuesday in North Carolina. By Jocelyn Vena Fantasia Photo: Courtesy of J Records Fantasia Barrino gave birth to a baby boy, Dallas Xavier Barrino, Tuesday in North Carolina. In a statement to People , the season-three “American Idol” winner said, “I feel so blessed that my son Dallas Xavier was born healthy, and is a wonderful new addition to our family. I thank all my fans for their well wishes and continued support.” In an interview with Wendy Williams back in October, the singer revealed that she was expecting a son by the end of December. Fantasia, 27, has remained quiet about who the father of Dallas is, but she has been linked to on-again, off-again boyfriend Antwaun Cook since 2010. This is the second child for the singer, who has a 10-year-old daughter, Zion, from a previous relationship. In August, Fantasia announced she was pregnant during a show in Florida. “You are the first persons that I share this news with. And I share this with you because I can relate to you,” she told the Jacksonville crowd. “And for a while I walked around figuring out what will they say and what will they think about me. But now I tell you, I don’t live my life for folk. This child that I carry, God has given me this child. And I don’t have to hide it from none of y’all.” Life for Barrino has been on the mend since the summer of 2010, when she made headlines for suffering a drug overdose after ingesting a combination of aspirin and a sleep aid. Rumors abounded that the singer’s alleged relationship with Cook, who was married at the time, was a factor in her suicide attempt. She quickly recovered, however, to promote her album Bittersweet . In her 2010 “Behind the Music” special, Barrino addressed her ups and downs, concluding, “I know that I am beautiful and special. I am who I am — and that’s what makes me Fantasia.” Share your well-wishes for Fantasia in the comments below! Related Photos Fantasia’s Career In Photos Related Artists Fantasia

In this interview Kojima lets out a lot of similar information that he shared with our very own Maxwell Roahrig yesterday when he interviewed Kojima himself. However, in the first two minutes Kojima talks about the time they “had to start planning for MGS5 ” which lead up to the decision to start the Rising project.

Dear Bossip , Ok, so where do I begin? Here it goes! Maybe 4 months ago, I met a gentleman online. We exchanged numbers and gained a really close bond. Talking on the phone 2 to 3 times a day; morning, noon and night. We built a great relationship, for at least I thought. Mind you, he lived in Illinois and I reside in Virginia. So, he suggested I fly up to finally meet. I purchased my own airline ticket by the way, because he stated; that was all the spending I had to do, and he was correct. I arrived to Illinois, he picked me up from the airport; and again, mind you, this was our very first time meeting in person. So, I really liked what I saw. He was “such” a Gentleman, and YES, he took very good care of me; I did not spend a DIME; stayed for 4 nights. AWESOME! He introduced me to several of his friends; either they came by or we drove to their homes, which I thought was very sweet. Anyway, to make a long story short, the day of my departure, he asked if I mind if we stop at his brother’s home before going to the airport. Well, of course, I had no problem. His brother, wife and kids were all very nice and hospitable. So, when it was time to head to the airport, and after getting halfway there, I realized, I left my coat at his brother’s home. Don’t ask? Don’t know how I left a “coat” while visiting Illinois, but I did and we did not have enough time to turn around. Ok, so, I get back home safely to Virginia and I call my friend to let him know; I’m home Babe. We spoke briefly because I was a little tired from the trip, so I suggested we speak the next day. This is where things get really WEIRD! The next day I call him and I get his voice-mail, and this occurred quite frequently. To the point where I’m becoming questionable. Previously, this is a man that called all the time and never missed any of my calls. But, NOW, he has no conversation, at all! Ok, I’m confused like HELL! I finally sat still and focused on him, and just the entire event, and came to the conclusion that, here is this 45-year old man who needed his friends and family to OK me! Terrance, am I right or wrong? I’m hurt and I feel very, mislead by someone that I really, really, thought I knew and liked very much so! I’ve emailed and have only called twice in a respectful manner. Terrance, I’m just trying to get my coat, for real! The second time I called I couldn’t leave a message because his voice-mail is full. WHAT DO I DO? I’ve accepted and respected his wishes of not wanting to communicate with me further; I get it, I GUESS. But now, I feel as though he’s playing with me and my feelings by totally ignoring me all together. Now, I have his brother’s number and DO NOT want to call him, but seriously, should I? I’m thinking maybe his brother can talk him into at least sending me a YES, via email, pertaining to my Coat. Is this crazy or what? I need some answers. – MAD & MISSING MY COAT! Dear Ms. Mad & Missing My Coat , Uhm, no this is not crazy. YOU ARE! The hell is wrong with your ass! You keep calling this man, and he hasn’t returned any of your calls, and now his voice mail is full. WHAT DO YOU THIINK THAT MEAN? Ole slow ass special needs woman. I swear whatever you drank at that man’s house, or swallowed from him, has truly got you going bat –ish crazy. Keep that madness over there. We don’t need for it to become an outbreak and other women become infected. Wait, (ponders for a minute), damn, it’s too late. Other women have been infected. RUN! HIDE YOUR KIDS! HIDE YOURSELVES! LMBAO! Now, ma’am, do you really want the coat, or are you using the coat as a way to displace your anger because he hasn’t returned any of your calls after you spent these four wonderful days in Chicago with him and met his family and friends? And, since you stated he showed you a good time and TOOK CARE OF YOU, are you upset that you let him lay up in you, and now you feel like a high-priced hooker? I knows what “Took Care Of You” really mean. (Hmmmm, inquiring minds want to know) And, chile, cheese! I swear you women meeting these men on the internet, who live in other states, and you think it’s love because he calls you two and three times a day, answers your call when you phone, and sends you lovey-dovey text messages of how much he can’t wait to see you and make you his woman. The ole okey-doke doesn’t get old, and it certainly doesn’t matter who the culprit and players are. All of you are just pieces in the game and still can’t get the rules right. SMDH! Simpleton is not your forte. Perhaps it’s your expertise. I’m curious as to what type of relationship did you think you were going to create with a man you met on the internet, and he lives in Illinois and you live in Virginia? Were you in your head, because that’s what you delirious women do, planning this wonderful relationship of bliss and if you or he was going to move and be together? I seriously and highly doubt that was going to happen. And, let’s get something very clear right now. Your dumbass bought an airline ticket to go see this man, and it was your first visit. Uhm, sweetie, if this man was so interested in you, and so gung-ho about you visiting, then he should have anteed up half of the ticket. Yeah, yeah, he took care of everything while you were there, but you did stay at his home, correct? Hmmm, pulls out my bull-ish calculator and begins to add things up. Now, according to the bull-ish calculator staying at his home didn’t cost him anything. Did he take you out to eat, and where? Or did he cook at home? (Does some adding and subtracting, and now divide the bull-ish that he fed you. Okay, eating at fast food restaurants, because I know he didn’t take you to any 5 or 4 star restaurants, adds up to basically nothing.) So, I want to know what did he come out of pocket for? The gas that he used when he picked you up from the airport and dropped you off? The gas he used to take you to meet his friends, and keep in mind that you went by the brother’s house on your way to the airport. According to my bull-ish calculator only “Johns” use gas to pick up “Tricks.” Chile, you people really need to invest in a bull-ish calculator. It breaks everything down for you. Especially all you basic women who do basic ass –ish. On the real, I get the feeling that dude is not feeling you, and after the four days of using you as his sex whore, ooops, I’m sorry, I meant his proposed love interest, LOL, that he really is not into you. The fact that you keep calling and you get no response, uhm, let me buy you a damn clue. THE MAN DOES NOT WANT TO BE BOTHERED. HE’S GOTTEN WHAT HE WANTS FROM YOU. HE IS A PLAYER, AND YOU GOT PLAYED. STOP BEING A TRICK AND LEARN THE RULES OF THE GAME SO IT WON’T HAPPEN AGAIN. And, if you have his brother’s number, and if you’re sooooooo interested in getting your coat, then why haven’t you called him? What the hell are you waiting for? But, again, it’s not about the coat. It’s the fact that your feelings are hurt. You’re bothered by the fact that you spent money to go see a man, and let him bang you out, and you don’t understand why a man whom told you all the things that you wanted to hear would do something like this to you. Girl, wake up and stop acting naïve and childish. You knew what you were going to Illinois for. Hell, all of the people he took you to meet knew what you were in Illinois for. Ladies, ladies, ladies, please stop meeting these men on the internet and letting them fill your head up with all these wonderful ideas of a happy ever after. It’s all lies and bull-ish. They are only telling you what you want to hear. They are only getting you hot and bothered so they can blow your backs out. THAT IS THE PLAN! ALWAYS! So, chuck up the deuces and count it as a lesson learned. Move on, and if you really want your damn coat call the brother and have him ship it to you, or offer to have it shipped to you at your costs. The end. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!
