Our Skin Skout attended the press screening of Wanderlust last night, and as predicted Jennifer Aniston ‘s topless scene was nowhere to be found. And to add insult to non-nude injury, the lesbian foursome scene featured in the red-band trailer has been cut from the movie entirely. Malin Akerman doesn’t even get naked, and she’s Swedish for God’s sake! The movie isn’t entirely skin-free, though: anonymous flower children lose their tops for a nighttime skinny-dipping scene 21 minutes in, and again for a group meeting at the commune 1 hour, 24 minutes in. We also get some full-frontal from those uncredited hippie chicks when they chase a fellow commune-goer through the grounds, but honestly our hearts just aren’t in it anymore. Looks like Wanderlust is a Wander-bust. Catch up with the greatest tits- uh, hits – of Malin Akerman and Jennifer Aniston right here at MrSkin.com!
We told you about Cherry , the screenwriting debut of kinky porn queen Lorelei Lee , last week, and despite a mixed reception at the Berlin Film Festival the team is going full speed ahead in their quest for a distributor. And to lure in investors eager to see Ashley Hinsaw (left) and Heather Graham play porn stars, they’ve cut a trailer for the film- but we’re not sure why that’s really necessary. Because if a movie written by a porn star and co-starring Heather Graham doesn’t have any nudity in it (all we know is that The Hollywood Reporter cited a nonspecific enough skin to net a Cinemax sale” ), then this thing doesn’t stand a chance. And if it does? Then consider Skin Central SOLD! We can only offer a hundred bucks for it (the rest is all tied up in Fleshlight for iPad stock), but still… See the trailer for Cherry after the jump!
Co-directed by the singer, the video is the lead visual off Fortune. By Jocelyn Vena Chris Brown (file) Photo: Jeff Fusco/Getty Images Chris Brown turns up the music to a big 11 in his video for his song “Turn Up the Music.” The video, released on Friday (February 17), follows a well-dressed Brown while he enjoys a dance-filled night on the town. The video tracks Brown from drinking in the street, to hailing a futuristic hover-cab filled with masked creatures, to hitting a warehouse rave filled with even more masked people, all watched over by some woman who appears to be the queen of the party, gazing at everyone from her own perch. From there, the clip is an eye-catching spectacle of various dance routines with Brown displaying his signature smooth moves. During the video, the singer dons several outfits and looks that appear to pay homage to his own hero, Michael Jackson. Rocking well-tailored suits that are accessorized with fedoras and suspenders, Brown performs dancefloor acrobatics as lights and lasers dance around him. Brown’s dance moves are aggressive and in your face, but he is still light on his feet. At one point in the high-energy clip, the footage is slowed down as Brown does a flip. In another memorable scene, Brown dances alone in a rain-filled room, wearing white dress pants, a black tank and a fedora. As the song wraps up, he splits into three people, comes back together, takes off his shirt and throws it at the camera — and breaks the lens doing it. The eye-popping video was co-directed with Godfrey Tabarez and shot in Los Angeles earlier this month. Produced by the Underdogs and Fuego, it’s the lead single off Fortune, out March 16. He performed the song last Sunday at the Grammy Awards . What do you think of the “Turn Up the Music” video? Leave your comment below! Related Artists Chris Brown
‘Having blockbusters in your life is never a bad thing,’ he says at press conference. By Jocelyn Vena Christina Ricci and Robert Pattinson in Berlin on Friday Robert Pattinson appeared at the Berlin International Film Festival on Friday (February 17) to promote his latest effort, the big-screen adaptation of the Guy de Maupassant novel “Bel Ami.” During the press conference, the actor opened up about making the film, which follows a manipulative young man who romances various women in 19th-century Paris. “To work as a journalist? It’s funny. I kind of like the idea, especially when he gets into the gossip section of the newspaper,” the actor said about his character’s job in the flick and how he related it to his own headline-making life. Click for photos of Robert Pattinson at the “Bel Ami” event in Berlin. “Something that was written in … 1885, for it to be the exact same situation as it is now, where you have a template article and you just replace the name and it could be about anybody, I thought that was really funny. But he’s not really a journalist. … It’s basically like being a reality TV star now,” he said. “It was one of the jobs where you could kind of [get ahead]; he found a loophole in life where he could get money and a reputation by basically doing nothing. It was fun; it was interesting.” As for the film, Pattinson said that he agreed to do it because he thought he might never get the chance to play a character like that again. “It’s funny, the structure of ‘Bel Ami’ and the character of Georges really rarely comes up in movies anymore because he’s completely unrepentant, and normally a movie has to teach somebody a lesson nowadays. It was quite fun playing that,” he said. “They both have their good sides.” He added that when he first read the script, he related to Georges’ motivations. “I read the script a long time ago. I was pretty young. I think I’ve changed a little bit,” the actor said. “I kind of understood that. You create an empire just so you can sh– on someone else. I think I’ve grown up a little bit. I’m not as horrible.” The film is much different in tone than “Twilight,” and Pattinson addressed any concerns he might have about bringing that audience along to this film, which opens in March. “I guess my responsibility, I think, it’s not necessarily to give anything back other than try and do the best work you can. You get an audience for doing certain jobs, so I think the biggest disservice you can do to your audience is trying to repeat the same thing and to come just to get money or whatever,” he said. “If a ‘Twilight’ audience would come watch ‘Bel Ami,’ it’s a movie that I wouldn’t have thought that audience would go to, so I think that in some way, it’s kind of doing a service to someone. I felt like I learned a lot from it.” Pattinson spoke about balancing smaller films with big ones like “Twilight.” “Having blockbusters in your life is never a bad thing,” he said. “When you’re making it, if everyone is expecting it to be a blockbuster, it’s kind of lame.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Bel Ami.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

My name is Victoria. I’m from a really small European country, Hungary. I’ve been a huge Belieber since 2009. This year I bought every single German newspapers that talked about Justin, and with my friend, Begi, made the first Hungarian fan site for Justin. Working on our site was like breath taking for me. I wrote like 10-20 articles about Justin every day, and I really wanted to show the Hungarian teenagers, who, and how incredible Justin is. In the summer of 2010, I’ve begun to work alone on the site, and I had like 2400 visitors every day. In August, I’d got a message from Jayme, he told me, that he wants me to be the news-writer of the Official Hungarian Justin Bieber Fansite, and I said yes. Here begins my Bieber Experience. On the 1st April of 2011 my dad drove 15 hours for me, to see Justin in Berlin, Germany. The next day I went to the O2 Arena, and Jayme (he flew to Germany too) told me, that he’s got a M&G ticket for me, for my hard work on the site. I thought, that I only gotta see Justin at the show so I freaked out. Before the meet & greet, I met DJ Tay James and saw Dan Kanter with Fredo too. There’s a video of fans running to Dan on Youtube, fortunately I have some screenshots of me with Dan. During the meet & greet, Justin was behind a black curtain. I first saw Kenny, then Justin. He said hi to us, then talked a little with Jayme (they already met in 2010). I was standing next to Justin, just staring at his face, and realizing that I wasn’t dreaming. Then came the best 2 seconds of my life. Justin grabbed my waist, pulled me closer and we looked in the camera. I just wanted to stay forever next to him. Jayme, and the another girl already left the room, but I was still standing there with Justin. We’ve been the last group with meet & greet tickets, so Kenny looked at me with a, “move bitch face” (LOL), so I took a step and looked back to Justin. Really slowly, but I left the room. I wasn’t crying/fan-girling like the others though. I remember the first phrase I said after the meet & greet was like, “Oh my f**king God, that kid is beautiful.” After the amazing show, I was hanging out with Jayme, and the dancers, Aja, Mike and Nick for a little bit. We forgot to take some pictures. The next day I realized, that I’m the first Hungarian girl who met Justin, well, this time I was crying. My 2nd Bieber Experience was on the 15th November, 2011. My dad drove this time 17 hours to Cologne, Germany. My friend, Fanny and I had 2 tickets for the German X-Factor . Before the show, we bought 2 Under The Mistletoe CDs, then went to the X-Factor studio. We’ve just standing behind the fences with some fans, and then we saw a huge black car at the parking place. Justin, Fredo, Moshe (white Kenny), Kenny, and Dan ran into the studio. After like a half hour they came back, and Justin waved to us, but he had no time to greet us , and stuff like that. That night Justin performed at 2 German TV shows, so after the first one he came back to the X-Factor, and sang Mistletoe on stage. It was awesome, my German friends, Mandy and Vanessa helped us a lot, they are the reason why we had seats on the first row. I just want to tell you guys, that I’m really blessed because my dad is awesome, without him, I had no chance to meet, or see Justin. I’m still writing news about Justin on http://justin-bieber.hu , and organizing fan-meetings, buyouts, and competitions for Beliebers, I really love it. I never thought, that someday my dream will come true, and I feel really blessed, cause I’m still the only one girl, who met Justin from my country. I reached the only thing, I wanted with hard work,and cool parents. Never Say Never guys! -@VictoriaKanter See the original post here: My name is Victoria. I’m from a really small European…
The Berlin Film Festival and European Film Market are getting underway as we speak, exposing an all-new crop of good, bad and WTF-inducing projects we’ll be hearing and/or seeing about in the year or two to come. But there are also revelations to be found regarding more familiar titles. Take Lars von Trier’s already notorious , sexually explicit Nymphomaniac , for example. /film points us all to the film’s refined description in the EFM guide: NYMPHOMANIAC is the light and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe. On a cold winter’s evening Seligman, an old bachelor, finds Joe semi-unconscious and beaten up in an alleyway. After bringing her to his flat he sees to her wounds while trying to understand how things could have gone so wrong for her. He listens intently as she over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multifaceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents. Said “erotic journey” will reportedly be populated by porn-star stand-ins doing the dirty work for the more mainstream stars, including leading lady Charlotte Gainsbourg, who recently drew a broad line regarding her role: I haven’t read the script; I sort of had to commit to doing the film without reading it. I know he wants to use porn actors as doubles, like we did in Antichrist , so they would do those shots but then we’d do the rest. I don’t know up to what point, but I know I have limits. I had limits on Antichrist – I remember, he asked me to jerk off the porn actor, and that’s when I said I couldn’t. So we will see what my limit is for the next one. Shooting should commence this summer, with hardcore and softcore versions expected to follow down the line. Generally this kind of thing would be timed to premiere at Cannes, but we all know how that went last time . So… Berlinale 2013? SXSW? Who’s up for Lars-BQ and Lone Stars? Ugh, forget it.

Duo also address their own critics tonight on MTV.com following the ‘Gold on the Ceiling’ video premiere at 7:54 p.m. on MTV. By James Montgomery The Black Keys Photo: MTV News On January 8, 2011 — nearly a decade after they first started kicking around in Akron, Ohio — the Black Keys made their first appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” Needless to say, it was a pretty big moment for Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, who had spent no small portion of the past 10 years grinding out miles (and shows) in their van. On January 14, 2012 — nearly six months after she first became a much-debated blog curio — Lana Del Rey performed on the same “SNL” stage . It was a pretty big moment, too, though mostly for her critics and those who enjoy deriding the current state of popular music. After all, they argue, it’s debatable whether Del Rey has ever seen the inside of a van, let alone toured in one. So when MTV News sat down with the Black Keys in Berlin — for an exclusive interview you can watch tonight (February 6) on MTV.com, following the MTV premiere of the duo’s new “Gold on the Ceiling” video at 7:54 p.m. ET — we had to ask them for their thoughts on Del Rey’s overnight success, and what it meant for bands trying to make a living in 2012. “On some level, we’ve seen that Lana Del Rey thing since we first started, like, all of a sudden this new band would be headlining festivals, and we’re like, ‘Wait, how did they get that? We’ve been here for two, three, four, five years and we’re still working our way up,’ ” Auerbach said. “But then they’re gone. Just as quickly as they get up there, they disappear.” “It’s different for everybody. It took us a really long time to get on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and it took her a shorter amount of time,” Carney added. “But I honestly feel bad for a lot of bands that are starting out with the way things are. … The trends kind of flip over so fast — something’s cool and not cool and it all happens within two to three months.” Of course, it bears mention that the same outlets that have criticized Del Rey for her perceived lack of authenticity and quick rise to a major-label deal are the very same outlets that have largely ignored (or largely ripped) the Black Keys, a band that has spent a decade making the slow climb to the top. And when it came to that point, well, the Keys didn’t exactly hide their displeasure. “Yeah, [it’s] ’cause they’re pricks,” Carney snorted. “It’s like, ‘What the f— are you talking about, motherf—er?’ ” And though you’ll hear more of their thoughts on the media during our full interview, you can reasonably assume that the Black Keys don’t take criticisms kindly. In fact, they’ve been taking mental notes, and someday they’ll even the score. Don’t miss the premiere of the Black Keys’ “Gold on the Ceiling” video tonight at 7:54 p.m. ET on MTV, followed by an in-depth chat with the band on MTV.com.

Clip premieres Monday, February 6, at 7:54 p.m. ET on MTV, with exclusive interview to follow on MTV.com. By James Montgomery The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach in the “Gold on the Ceiling” music video The Black Keys continue to roll with their El Camino album , and now, they’re taking MTV along for the ride. On Monday, February 6, at 7:54 p.m. ET on MTV, the band will premiere their brand-new video for “Gold on the Ceiling,” during “MTV First: The Black Keys.” And then, immediately following the clip’s debut, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney will sit down for an exclusive 30-minute interview that will stream on MTV.com. In that interview — filmed last weekend before the Keys’ sold-out show in Berlin, Germany — the dynamic duo discuss their rather improbable rise to fame, the current state of rock music, and what’s next (a new album already?!?). They also answer questions submitted by fans via Twitter. After the premiere of the “Gold on the Ceiling” video (which features footage from the band’s album release concert, which streamed live on MTV Hive), the clip will go into rotation on mtvU and MTV Hits, and will premiere on MTV.com, VH1.com and AMTV the following morning. The video will also debut on “MTV2’s 120 Minutes With Matt Pinfield” on February 10 as part of a special Grammy-themed episode, and VH1’s “Top 20 Countdown” on February 11. It all gets underway Monday, February 6, at 7:54 p.m., with the world premiere of the “Gold on the Ceiling” video on MTV, and then rolls on with MTV News’ 30-minute interview following immediately after on MTV.com. It’s been quite a ride for the Black Keys so far, but trust us, you haven’t seen anything yet. What are you hoping for from the “Gold on the Ceiling” video? Leave your comments below!

Band shakes up Germany’s capital on Saturday night with blistering sold-out show. By James Montgomery The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach performs in Berlin on Saturday Photo: Jakubaszek/ Getty Images BERLIN — The Black Keys are not a particularly verbose band; they are, however, an incredibly voluminous one. That lesson was learned during their blistering sold-out show Saturday in Germany’s capital city, which was short on between-song banter — frontman Dan Auerbach offered just a few “All right, thank you so much”s and drummer Patrick Carney was basically mute (though he is pretty funny on Twitter) — and long on the kind of smash-n-bash blues/garage/soul that has become the Keys’ near-patented racket. Drawing heavily from their breakout Brothers album and the equally successful El Camino, the duo, aided by backing band for extra oomph, tore through 90-plus minutes of sweaty, snarling stuff, a full-bore workout for their triumphant run of U.S. arena shows, which kicks off in March. (MTV News was in Berlin to catch up with the Black Keys for a special event we can’t quite talk about just yet …) But on this night, they also seemed to take additional inspiration from the venue they were playing: the crumbling, cavernous Treptow Arena, whose brick-and-mortar shell doesn’t disguise the fact that it once was a bus depot, an industrial bent that suited the Keys’ Akron, Ohio, roots just fine (check their 2004 Rubber Factory album for proof). Auerbach’s drawl on “Howlin’ For You” seemed just a little more raw, the guitars on “Next Girl” and “Your Touch” roared with diesel-powered authority, and Carney’s pounding on “Girl is on My Mind” recalled a chortling 8-cylinder engine. In other words, the Black Keys seemed perfectly at home, even though they were anything but. New songs like “Gold on the Ceiling” and “Little Black Submarines” crackled with energy and attitude (Auerbach’s solos in the latter did both), and older tunes like “Hold Me in Your Arms” — which made an appearance during their extended, mid-set session as just a two-piece — was streaked with soul (and some serious riffs, too). “Lonely Boy” careened along on a surf-tinged backbeat and fuzzy, gut-box guitars; “Tighten Up” was the rare moment of pure-pop sheen; and “Ten Cent Pistol” simmered with a smoky, sexy tension. All of those moments were positively devoured by the German crowd, 9,000 hearty souls who queued up around the block hours before doors opened, and fended off some seriously frigid temperatures — and snow — with beery cheer. (Germany has some rather lax open-container laws, to say the very least.) But they took that frenzy to an even higher level during the Keys’ encore, helping Auerbach hit the high notes on the swoony “Everlasting Light” (which was powered not only by the band, but a truly epic disco ball dangling overhead) and leaping for joy during “I Got Mine,” which extended into a ringing, reverbed jam before winding to a close. Of course, at the end, Auerbach simply thanked the crowd, Carney chucked his drumsticks into the audience, and the band exited stage right. The Black Keys may not be big on making speeches, but they don’t have to be. On most nights — this one included, far from home but still swaggering — they get by on raw power alone.

Oldman calls Best Actor nod ‘extremely humbling, gratifying and delightful.’ By Kara Warner Gary Oldman in “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” Photo: Focus Features Once again, the announcement of the Academy Awards nominations has made for a flurry of exciting headlines and news stories and lots of bets won and lost in Vegas.
