R.I.P: Heavyweight Boxing Champ Ken Norton Passes Away At 70-Years-Old

Another great is gone … Via The National Enquirer reports : Former heavyweight champ KEN NORTON who battled MUHAMMAD ALI for the championship 3 times has died at age 70. Norton, whowhumped Ali and then lost a controversial decision to him in Yankee Stadium, died today at a local care facility in Arizona and had been in poor health for several years after suffering a series of strokes. Norton broke Ali’s jaw in their first fight, beating him by split decision in 1973 in a non-title bout in San Diego. They waged a ferocious battle six months later with Ali narrowly winning a controversial split decision. They met for a third time on Sept. 28, 1976, at Yankee Stadium and Ali again narrowly won to keep his heavyweight title. Norton would come back the next year to win a heavyweight title eliminator and was declared champion by the World Boxing Council. But, he lost a bruising 15-round fight to Larry Holmes in what many regard as one of boxing’s epic heavyweight bouts on June 9, 1978 and never regained the championship belt. During the 1980s, Norton made a number of guest appearances on TV including the shows “The A-Team” and “Knight Rider.” Norton also appearted in over 20 movies and was set to play Apollo Creed in “Rocky” but was forced to bow out. Norton continued making TV, radio and public speaking appearances until suffering injuries in a near-fatal car accident in 1986. It left him with slow and slurred speech. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones… Peep a few videos from his fights: WENN/NYC Archives

Clown Terrorizes Town in England, Leaves Residents Baffled

A man covered in white face paint and donning a curly red wig, ruffled collar, giant round nose and giant eyebrows is causing quite a stir in the British town of Northampton. Yes, a clown is stalking the streets like Pennywise from Stephen King’s It . The creepy figure first appeared on Friday, September 13, with residents posting sightings of him on Twitter and no one quite sure what the heck is going on. Clown Terrorizes British Town The clown is simply standing on street corners and holding balloons and a teddy bear, waving at those who pass by and… okay, this is freaking us out just to write about. No wonder some have called the police. A Facebook page titled “Spot Northampton’s Clown” has been created and someone purporting to be the clown in question posted on it Monday, denying allegations that he’s been knocking on neighborhood doors late at night. “I ‘haven’t’ been knocking on houses and asking to paint window sills,” the individual wrote. “If what i am doing does get too much for people, I will have to stop.” The clown also says he is not part of any PR stunt. In response, a superhero dubbed The Clown Catcher and dressed like Superman has also taken to the streets in an attempt to protect citizens from the mysterious circus figure. Really. We’re not making any of this up. Watch the video above for more – and lock your doors tonight.

Freaks And Fitteds: Yankees Fans Caught Gettin It Poppin In The Stadium Bathroom During The Game

This guy made it waaay past 3rd base.. Yankees Fans Caught Having Sex In The Stadium Bathroom If you thought Yankees fans were over the top befor e, this takes it to a whole new level… It’s a whole new ball game! Two frisky fans hit an inside-the-park home run in a Yankee Stadium bathroom as the Bronx Bombers beat the Tampa Bay Rays Saturday. In a video posted on the sports blog Deadspin, fans can be seen watching as a man clad only in a hiked-up CC Sabathia T-shirt and a woman had full-on sex in the stall under the left field bleachers. A tipster told the blog that the raunchy romp began in the second inning with the Yanks leading 3-0, and continued until the fourth or fifth — giving new meaning to the phrase pitching inside. “People were jockeying for position outside the stall to take pics either over or under, and even standing up on the toilet bowl on the neighboring stall,” the tipster said. Several stadium employees were among the slew of onlookers who flocked to the cinderblock bathroom, which bears a sign pledging “the highest possible levels of comfort with regards to quality and cleanliness.” The couple appeared oblivious to the commotion around them, and allegedly continued to run the bases even after several onlookers cried foul. Even after someone knocked on the stall door, the couple kept on copulating. But eventually, the extra innings ended — and fans gave the woman a slow round of rhythmic applause as she parted. The Yankees said Sunday that the team was aware of the situation but had no comment. It aint no fun if the fans can’t get some . Source

Justin Bieber Ripe For Spoofing, ‘Stevie TV’ Star Says

‘Guys are like, ‘I don’t know what it is, but you’re really hot,’ comedian Stevie Ryan says of playing the teen superstar on VH1 show. By Christina Garibaldi Justin Bieber Photo: Barry King/ FilmMagic Stevie Ryan may make fun of Justin Bieber on her new VH1 show “Stevie TV,” but the actress and the pop star actually have something cool in common: They were both discovered on YouTube. Ryan began her career impersonating celebrities and creating her own characters on her YouTube channel and instantly became an Internet star. Now the 26-year-old comedian gets to do her routines on VH1, portraying some of today’s biggest celebs and reality TV stars. “It’s just a female’s perspective on pop culture, really, at least that’s the way I think about it,” Ryan told MTV News on Tuesday. “It’s really just kind of making fun of pop culture, what’s happening in it, just making fun of these celebrities that are rewarded for bad behavior.” So far on “Stevie TV,” Ryan has created a music video that mocks Katy Perry ‘s “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F),” gotten into character as Lady Gaga and done some cross-dressing to get into one of her favorite roles, Justin Bieber. Ryan explained that Bieber has been the most fun to play “because I always tell everybody how guys and girls always like me when I’m Justin Bieber. … Girls are like, ‘You’re so cute, like, are you really a girl ?’ And then guys are like, ‘I don’t know what it is, but you’re really hot.’ But I really like playing everybody,” she laughed. And though she may poke fun at celebrities, Ryan said she’s really a fan of most of the stars … except maybe one. “I just thought, ‘What a great way to kind of show that this is what the younger generation is growing up with, that who little girls like, is Kim Kardashian,’ ” Ryan said. “It’s just observing these weird behaviors and finding a place for them that makes sense because you can always make fun of Kim Kardashian — she has a big butt, she made a sex tape — but at the same time you have to step back and look at the big picture; people are actually wanting to be like this.” As for future episodes, Ryan really wants to impersonate a certain Young Money rapper. “I would like to do Nicki Minaj,” Ryan revealed. “There’s nothing that I want to make fun of about her, because I’m obsessed with her and I really, really love her.” Asked if she’s gotten any backlash yet for the sometimes harsh jokes on her show, Ryan said she hasn’t, but she’s ready if it comes her way. “It hasn’t happened before and I’d give a flying f— about what any of them have to say,” Ryan said. “Because I’m just doing my job just like they are and so whatever, if anyone has anything to say, bring it!” “Stevie TV” airs Sundays at 11 p.m. ET on VH1.

John Cena Says Vote Metallica In Musical March Madness … Or Else

WWE superstar gives props to band’s ‘in-your-face, time-to- fight music.’ Voting in round two ends Sunday at midnight! By James Montgomery, with reporting by Rob Markman John Cena Photo: MTV News Voting in the second-round of MTV’s Musical March Madness is entering the home stretch and, well, it’s not looking good for Metallica. After disposing of fellow titans Guns N’ Roses in round one , James Hetfield and company currently trail upset-minded Sum 41 by an “Unforgiven”-size margin … and appear headed for the void. Of course, there’s still plenty of time to change things — voting in all second-round matchups closes Sunday at midnight ET — and, as luck would have it, Metallica are getting support from a rather unlikely source: WWE superstar John Cena, who would like to strongly encourage you to vote for his favorite band. And we mean strongly. “If you don’t vote Metallica strong, you ain’t been around music. They’re my vote to take it,” Cena told MTV News. “Because, like I say, I use music for energy. I’m involved in a lot of physical activity, a lot of times when you’re tired, you need to find energy from somewhere, and music evokes emotion. And Metallica, I don’t care who you are, they play ‘Enter Sandman’ at Yankee Stadium, and it’s a wrap.” So no offense to Sum 41, but for Cena, there’s nothing quite like the surge of “Sandman.” And while he’s probably got his mind on other things (like his year-in-the-making match with the Rock at WrestleMania XXVIII), he’ll be pulling for Metallica to make a comeback and advance to the Sweet 16. Why? Vote for your favorite band, discuss and share on Facebook and Twitter in the MTV Musical March Madness interactive bracket! “[Their music] transcends race, creed, color, sex, age; it’s just hard-hitting, in-your-face, time-to- fight music,” he snarled. “That’s my type of stuff right there.” And who’s man enough to disagree with that? MTV’s 2012 Musical March Madness tournament has reached the second round. Voting runs until midnight ET on Sunday, March 25, and winners are determined by fan votes, so if your favorite act is still alive, it’ll be up to you to guide them to glory. You can rally the troops on Twitter using the hashtag #MMM or by downloading one of our custom badges — but get ready, it only gets more difficult from here on out.

Eminem On His Concerts With Jay-Z: ‘Both Cities Were Crazy’

‘I think I just wanna go home. My feet hurt,’ Em said when asked if he would continue to tour. By Shaheem Reid Eminem performs in Detroit Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage Thank you, and good night. Eminem and Jay-Z closed out the last of their four shows dubbed Home and Home. The two goliaths started at the beginning of the month at Detroit’s Comerica Park , and on Monday and Tuesday nights, they rocked Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Right before returning to the stage Tuesday night to perform “Renegade” with Young Hova, Eminem, his DJ Alchemist, and D12’s Mr. Porter stopped to speak with Shade 45 ‘s Angela Yee. When asked to reflect on his stadium trek, Em simply said, “Both cities were crazy. I had a lot of fun.” Mr. Mathers was more interested in talking about his skills on the court. He went on to brag about shooting J’s in the eyes of Royce Da 5’9″ and Alchemist. Em also appeared on Sunday’s season finale of “Entourage.” In his scenes, Shady set it off in the club, with a right cross to the face of the series’ lead character, Vince Chase. Chase, high off cocaine, called Em out in the club and was punished. “It was great to be on ‘Entourage,’ ” Em told Yee. “I love the show. I’m a huge fan of it.” When asked if he’ll get back into headlining in films like he did with “8 Mile,” he says if the project is right, he’ll jump at the chance. “We just haven’t got the right script yet,” he said. “We’ve had a couple of things here and there, but nothing’s jumped out. It’s gotta be something that makes me wanna stop doing the music. It’s gotta be good enough to make me wanna stop doing that. I love it so much.” Em downplayed the Home and Home series being the spark for a proper tour. “I don’t know, man. I think I just wanna go home. My feet hurt,” he laughed. According to 50 Cent, Em has been back in the lab. Earlier this week, Fif tweeted that Em is reconnecting with the G-Unit. “Banks got a really heavy album. Hunger for More 2 is gonna be classic! Me Em, Kanye, on it. The 23rd is gonna be big,” 50 wrote . Do you want Eminem to tour across the country? Let us know in the comments!

Mixtape of the same name arrives September 27. By Shaheem Reid Lil Wayne Photo: Alexander Tamargo/ Getty Images Did you think Lil Wayne was playing when he spit the lines “We are the not the same. I am a Martian” on Tha Carter III ‘s “Phone Home”? Not all. Hip-hop’s extraterrestrial rock star dropped a new video Wednesday (September 15) for the title track from his upcoming project I Am Not a Human Being, which comes out September 27, Wayne’s birthday. The new video is mostly Wayne performing, with the lights turned low and his tats glowing in the dark. “I don’t know why they keep playing/ They better replay it/ I’m giving them the blues, Bobby Blue Bland,” he raps on the first verse. “Together we stand and fall on y’all/ Balling with my bloods/ Call it b-ball.” Later, he calls himself a “rhyming oasis.” “I must be sticky, ’cause them bitches got they eyes glued,” he continues. “Young Money, baby, we the sh– like fly food/ Y’all can’t see us, like the bride’s shoes/ … If you think you hot then obviously you were lied to/ And we don’t die, we multiply, and then we come divide you.” The long-awaited Tha Carter IV is dropping in November , if everything goes according to plan. “We might just drop the album that day,” Mack Maine said recently about putting out C4 the day Weezy is set to get out of prison. “Just hope it don’t leak out and drop it that day. I think it would be crazy, the anticipation.” Mack said Wayne is deeply involved in Tha Carter IV ‘s song-selection process despite currently serving his yearlong sentence on Rikers Island.

Jay-Z And Eminem Bring Fans To ‘Tears’ At Final Stadium Show

‘Jay’s struggle and Eminem’s recovery, I think it comes off as incredible,’ fan/ New Edition luminary Michael Bivins says. By James Dinh, with reporting by Hilary Crosley Eminem and Jay-Z Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage All good things come to an end as Jay-Z and Eminem wrapped up the fourth and final concert of their Home and Home shows on Tuesday night. The MCs, who brought out a slew of special guests to make the event even more spectacular, had fans in awe as they left Yankee Stadium. MTV News caught up with a few of the show’s attendees who described the hip-hop extravaganza as nothing short of incredible. “It was wonderful to see two of the greatest MCs in the history [of hip-hop], Jay-Z and Eminem, come together and put this on at Yankee Stadium,” Eddie Blackmon said. Among the devoted fans was Michael Bivins, a founding member of the illustrious R&B/hip-hop groups New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe. Bivins said that, in the end, the two rappers’ personal tribulations have helped them to succeed. “These brothers have been through something — Jay’s struggle and Eminem’s recovery — and it comes across as entertainment, and I think it comes off as incredible,” he said. The presence of two superstar MCs on one stage was thrilling, but the show’s guest appearances also earned rave reviews: Kanye West, Beyonc
