Marilyn Monroe would have been 86 today. The actress and icon died of a drug overdose under still-debated-to-this-day circumstances a half century ago. Her name alone conjures up memories of beauty and tragedy. Marilyn . So talented, so troubled and so profoundly sexual to all those who remember her. Future generations will know her no differently. The enigmatic star, underrated as an actress, stole every scene she was in, from her bit part in All About Eve to her Oscar-worthy role in Some Like It Hot . In her personal life, Monroe made headlines whether she was singing “Happy Birthday” to the president, getting married or showing up late to the set. It’s no wonder Marilyn fascinates, inspires (see Lindsay Lohan Playboy photos , or the below pic Tweeted by Lady Gaga today) and mesmerizes to this day. It’s also no wonder that the late Monroe became the focal point of the film My Week With Marilyn or NBC’s new Broadway-themed series Smash . Marilyn’s career, and life, was pure theater.
Happy Birthday bruh man! Maxwell Turns 39 Years-Old Today Singer Maxwell, who possesses one of the smoothest voices in R&B, turns 39 today. Born in Brooklyn, New York, this soul singer made his musical debut in 1996 with the release of his debut album, Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite. It was an overnight success and featured numerous hit singles, including “Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder),” “Whenever Wherever Whatever” and “Sumthin’ Sumthin.’” The success of the album launched him into super-stardom and landed him comparisons to greats like Marvin Gaye. In the years that followed, Maxwell released two more albums Embrya (1998) and Now (2011); the former earning him a 1997 Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album. Now rose to the top of the Billboard 200 and the top of the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. It spawned the singles “Get to Know Ya,” “Lifetime” and the hugely popular “This Woman’s Work.” It would also be the singer’s last album before an eight-year hiatus. In July 2009 Maxwell returned to the mic with BLACKSummers’night. Four singles were lifted from the album including it’s biggest hit, “Pretty Wings.” Fast forward to 2012, and Maxwell is preparing to release his fifth studio album blackSUMMERS’Night. In recent news he also announced he’s going on a short six-date tour, making stops in Los Angles, Atlanta and New Jersey. Each city will be treated to two nights of music – on the first evening Maxwell will perform his first two albums in its entirety and on the second night he’ll perform Now and BLACKsummers’Night.

My name is Linda and I’m 20. This is my Bieber Experience. May 2 & May 3, 2012: I won the Vevo Justin Bieber Biggest Fan Contest. I went to LA May 2 and I did this amazing video shoot with other great lucky winners. (It will be on YouTube in little over a month) While there, the lady running the shoot told me that they needed Beliebers over 18 to do this thing for Justin on MTV. Since myself and this other girl Cindy both being over 18, we went. It was great to be there. We had to wait a while. I brought two friends with me. As we waited for Justin to come, we got to chill and talk. They told us what to do when he arrives and all that. Once he showed up it was amazing to be right up front. After the live taping on MTV, we got to take pictures with Justin. I waited in line respectfully. Soon it was my turn to hug Justin, I walked up and he said hi. I said hi back and then we took a picture. I turned to him and asked, “Can you follow me on Twitter for my birthday”. Then the security guard told me to move on. Justin looked at me and said, “Sure what is you twitter?” I told him, he stood there for a second and tried to remember it. Then I said thank you and walked away. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned around and it was Justin. “Hey I want you to tweet and that way I can find you and follow you” . I smiled an nodded. I turned and saw Kenny. We asked for a picture and he agreed. Then we took a picture with the stand in Justin from rehearsal. – @Selentor1992 See original here: My name is Linda and I’m 20. This is my Bieber Experience.

‘Night of My Life’ video ‘typical bottlepopping playpressing garbage im sure everyones sick of,’ deadmau5 tweets. By Jocelyn Vena Pauly D Photo: WireImage After putting to bed his feud with Madonna , it seems EDM star deadmau5 is embroiled in a new Twitter beef, this time with MTV’s own DJ Pauly D . It all began when Pauly posted a link to his new music video for the track “Night of My Life.” He asked his fans, followers and Twitter in general, “So how do you like the video?” Mau5 apparently checked it out and didn’t like what he saw. “Well since you asked,” deadmau5 tweeted , “I didn’t really enjoy it. it looked like it cost about $150 to make, and nothing really creative about it.” @ DJPaulyD well since you asked, i didn’t really enjoy it. it looked like it cost about $150 to make, and nothing really creative about it. — deadmau5 (@deadmau5) May 17, 2012 For those wondering what made Mau5 so mad, the video’s concept is pretty simple and by all standards, pretty innocuous. It plays out almost like a mini-episode of Pauly’s MTV show, “The Pauly D Project,” following him from gig to gig, confetti and champagne flying everywhere. It also features some behind-the-scenes moments, including the “Jersey Shore” star hanging with his pals and meeting fans. Pauly didn’t let the jab go, but did offer up a little quip to answer his fellow DJ’s dig. He tweeted, “T-Shirt $40 Jeans $120 Hair Gel $12 Being Hated On By deadmau5#Priceless.” Like any good feud, it didn’t end there. Dead’s response? “hating? the f—? you clearly don’t know me enough if you thought that was ‘hating’. was just some friendly-ish advice.” Things continued to escalate on Dead’s side, with him tweeting responses including, “i’ll just leave it at: ‘Don’t blame your failure on haters. If everyone thinks you suck, they’re not haters, they’re right.’ – Daniel Tosh,” and in response to a fan, he added, “nah, i just thought it was a piece of sh–, in short. typical bottlepopping playpressing garbage im sure everyones sick of.” “Well, now that Jersey (and quite possibly the rest of the eastern seaboard) ‘came at me bro’ i guess its time for bed soon,” Deadmau5 added before asking where Snooki is and then resigning, “im kidding. that was a joke. sorry.” With Deadmau5 seemingly over the whole thing, Pauly pondered, “Wonder If I Could Get @Deadmau5 To DJ My Birthday ?? Now That Would Be The #NightOfMyLife.” As the whole beef came to an end, Pauly had a few final words before ending the battle on his end. “Maybe He Just Needs Some Cheese To Go With His Whine … #WheresMyMau5Trap,” he said, then tweeted, “Well @DeadMau5 Today Was A Pleasure , Hope U Had Fun Too , But I Got Show To Watch Tonight #PaulyDProject U Should Tune In@MTV.” Sound off on the Twitter feud in the comments below!

Admiral General Aladeen also confesses to the murders of Tupac and Biggie Smalls during MTV News interview. By Fallon Prinzivalli, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Sacha Baron Cohen as the Dictator at 2012 Cannes Film Festival Photo: Getty Images “Welcome! Death to the West!” That is how the Dictator greeted MTV News’ Josh Horowitz when he sat down with him for an interview. latest infamous character is Admiral General Aladeen, a dictator who oppresses his people and dislikes democracy. In “The Dictator,” he’s mistaken for a refugee and taken under the wing of Zoey, played by Anna Faris . Aladeen’s misadventures in America lead to an array of hilarious culture clashes. Thus, the interview was nothing less than we’d expect — offensive, outrageous and, yes, very, very funny. After inquiring about Horowitz’s knowledge of the rapper Tupac Shakur, the Dictator reveals it was him who killed the MC. “He came to play at my birthday party and all the time he get on the microphone, and you know what he tell me?” Aladeen questioned. “You know what he tell me? He said, ‘Put your hands’ — he ordered me! — he ordered me to put my hands in the air and wave them like I just don’t care. Why would I, Dictator, wave my hands like I don’t care? I wave my hands like I do care, like this. I don’t do it like I don’t care. How dare he come to my palace and my birthday and tell me how to wave my hands like I don’t care? I care about the hands!” Apparently someone forgot to inform the tyrant that it’s a figure of speech here in America. “To put your hands in the air like you don’t care?” he continued. “You think Hitler put his hands in the air like he don’t care? It was a very careful gesture that he did. I won’t do it here. And this Biggie Smalls, he then performed the next night for my weekend of birthday. That fat bastard ate all of the buffet. It cost over 120 Euros per head.” When our correspondent noted that his phrase is not respectful to the dead, the admiral general replied, “It’s not respectful to the people who wanted to eat the buffet.” Note to self: Eat before heading to Aladeen’s palace. Although, it’s possible not much eating will take place on a trip to his home. Shortly after assuring Horowitz he has nothing to worry about and sliding a gun on the table between them, he talked of his latest tryst with reality-TV star Kim Kardashian. “I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of [stars in America] that come to the palace and negotiate with the pimps,” he said. “Kim Kardashian, she came two weeks ago. I negotiated with her pimp, who is also her mother. Three-hundred-thousand dollars for one hour — not bad. Good rate.” But Kardashian isn’t the only American entertainer the Dictator is fond of. He happens to enjoy Snooki and has a list of movies he’s enjoyed — one of which is definitely in the wrong category. “I am a huge supporter of your Snooki,” he said. “I find him a very funny, little, orange man. And we have many of your sci-fi and fantasy films like ‘Transformers’ or ‘Harry Potter’ or ‘Schindler’s List.’ ” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Dictator.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

An alleged Tyson Beckford sex tape said to feature male supermodel enjoying himself is being shopped around the adult entertainment community, insiders say. What does the purported porn of the amateur variety contain? The seller insists the 45-minute tape shows the former Polo model pleasuring himself during a recent Internet video chat with a female model. Seriously … that’s according to the seller. During the hot chat session, Tyson Beckford supposedly makes references to some of the movies he’s appeared in, and talks about some of his co-stars. He also says his pet peeve is being mistaken for Tyrese Gibson. That we believe. A rep for Beckford says his camp has not seen the footage and will not release any statement until they can view the material being shopped around. Slow year for these things so far. Other celebrity sex tape stars in the news in recent months? Hulk Hogan, John Edwards, Gordon Ramsay and 2Pac .
