According to Deadline New York, the ‘Monster’ director left due to creative differences. By Kara Warner Patty Jenkins Photo: Getty Images Patty Jenkins’ journey to Asgard has been cut short. According to Deadline New York , the “Monster” director has left the production of “Thor 2.” The site reports that Marvel Studios is already in communication with agencies in its search for a new director. Given the sequel’s July 26, 2013, release date, a replacement is expected to be found quickly. Although Jenkins allegedly left due to creative differences, Deadline also reported that she is still in good standing with Marvel and might end up working on another of the studio’s numerous superhero films in development. Jenkins is now the second director to leave “Thor 2,” following director Kenneth Branagh’s announcement earlier this year that he wouldn’t be returning to the franchise. Branagh said his experience with “Thor” was a “joy” and that his decision was due to timing, not any ill will toward the franchise or the studio. “Of all the American comics, ‘Thor’ was the only one I was really familiar with from my childhood, and it intrigued me, maybe because it was a bit more European, with those Viking helmets and its basis in Norse myth,” Branagh told Variety. “The scale was exciting, and I did love the character and the story. It had depth and gravity in addition to being an entertaining ride. “I certainly wouldn’t rule out a return to Marvel,” he added. “We had an excellent collaboration.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Thor 2.” For breaking news and previews of the latest comic book movies — updated around the clock — visit SplashPage.MTV.com .

‘We’re gonna make a hit record,’ rapper says of ‘Jersey Shore’ star’s 2012 project. By Nadeska Alexis 50 Cent Photo: MTV News As early as April of this year, rumblings on the Web hinted that 50 Cent might sign “Jersey Shore” star and former Britney Spears tourmate Pauly D to his label, G-Note Records. But the deal wasn’t confirmed until this week when both Fif and his new signee spread the word on Twitter . During the launch party for his SMS Audio headphones line in NYC on Monday night, 50 Cent gave MTV News a few details on Pauly D’s upcoming album, due out in 2012. “Pauly’s project is not all his performance on the actual records,” Fif explained. “It’s more like what you would get from a DJ Khaled or DJ Drama but also what you would get from David Guetta — so it’s a cross between those two worlds, and I think it’s exciting.” A cross between two of the most notorious hip-hop DJs and one of the most popular electronic DJs certainly sounds like a winning combination for Pauly D, who has already built a solid fanbase in reality TV. And with plans for Pauly to star in his own MTV show in the coming months, 50 is even more confident that the hair-gel fanatic is primed to blow up. “He obviously has a huge platform moving forward. His show is a spin-off from ‘Jersey Shore,’ ” 50 said. “And being in front of large audiences every night DJing — we’re gonna make a hit record out of the actual material that we have around and some of the new stuff that we’ll put together.” Maybe fans will get a chance to see 50 Cent and Pauly D working together on the album when the Rhode Island native finally debuts his own reality show . Earlier this year, Pauly D gave MTV News an idea of what fans might expect from the story line. “It’ll be probably along the lines of, I used to be this DJ in Rhode Island, DJing two sets a week, hustling, promoting,” he explained. “And all of a sudden, I’m on this show, and now they’re sending private jets for me to DJ for these huge crowds, yet I’m still the same guy that was DJing for 200 people, just loving life.” The show hasn’t received an airdate just yet, but by the time it does, DJ Pauly D may well be an international superstar.

Rapper ‘had an amazing time’ performing with Swift on her Speak Now Tour. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Flo Rida Photo: MTV News Taylor Swift has shared the stage with some of the biggest (and most surprising) artists during her Speak Now Tour . Everyone from Nicki Minaj and Selena Gomez to Bruce Springsteen has graced the stage with the pop darling in 2011. During a Miami tour stop last month, the singer brought Flo Rida onstage to perform his very blush-inducing track “Right Round.” And if you were surprised to hear about the collaboration, Flo told MTV News at Los Angeles’ Jingle Ball over the weekend that he was just as shocked. “I was in Australia. I got home, and I was actually staying in my condo for the day,” he explained. “And I looked down, ’cause my condo, it’s right across the street from the arena, and I was like, ‘I wonder who’s performing?’ So I went down there, spur-of-the-moment, and they told me it was Taylor.” Initially, Flo Rida just wanted a chance to catch the show, but when he spoke to her people, it turned into a whole different opportunity. “I spoke with them, and they asked me to perform,” he said. “And she was very nice and very humble. I had an amazing time. Her fans are over-the-top. It was crazy. Much love to Taylor Swift.” Swift wrapped up her tour in New York last month. During her Atlanta stop over the summer, she brought another rapper onstage with her: T.I. “I was pleasantly surprised and confused,” T.I. told MTV News of receiving the phone call from Swift. “I was confused because I know it’s a phenomenal opportunity, but being T.I. — the Rubberband Man — and Taylor Swift being America’s Sweetheart, I had just gotten out of prison, like, two days [earlier], and all of a sudden my phone rings.” While the hip-hop appearances on her tour might seem surprising, Swift assured us in October that she really loves the genre. “I’m a huge hip-hop fan, and it’s been so amazing to have so many incredible artists come out and to get to sing the hooks on their songs that I’ve been blasting in my car for the last couple years,” she said. “It’s been awesome. I couldn’t have asked for more amazing special guests on this tour.” Which Taylor collabo were you most surprised about? Let us know in the comments!

Transgender woman Chantal Spears claims Kardashian assaulted her outside a Hollywood nightclub in 2009. By Jocelyn Vena Khloe Kardashian Photo: Getty Images Khloe Kardashian may be in some legal trouble. The reality star is reportedly being sued for assault in connection with an alleged incident that took place in Hollywood in 2009. TMZ reported that Kardashian got into an argument with a transgender woman named Chantal Spears (real name Ronald Spears) on December 5, 2009, at Playhouse nightclub. Spears claims that the reality star pushed and struck her “in and about her body,” leading to injuries. The website further reports that the altercation took place when Spears allegedly walked up to Khloe’s husband, Lamar Odom, and told him that he was “too young to be married.” In a video posted at the time of the incident, she told a cameraman for the website, “All I was telling Lamar Odom is maybe he is too young to get married, and all of a sudden I get this big push from this girl,” she explained. “She hit me. She pushed me and hit me. [Security] didn’t say nothing. It was her. She looked in my face. I tried to get her and she pushed me again.” Later Spears is seen holding up a police report and saying, “She’s in trouble. Yeah, [she’s going to court] because everyone seen her hit me first.” In her lawsuit, Spears says she didn’t provoke anyone and is seeking unspecified damages. A rep for Kardashian had not responded to MTV News’ request for comment by press time.
