Jason Terry Lists Atlanta Home For $1.89M [Photos] Whether Jason Terry’s time with the Dallas Mavericks has officially come to an end remains to be seen; however, it would appear the player fondly known as ‘JET’ is already making plans for his future. Terry, a veteran of 13 NBA seasons who began his career with the Atlanta Hawks before being dealt to Dallas, has put Atlanta, GA estate up for sale, listing the property for $1.89 million. Built in 2000, Terry’s contemporary, brick-lined estate has no shortage when it comes to space with a sprawling 6,325-square-foot floor plan with a total of seven bedrooms and nine bedrooms. It’s also not lacking in the amenities department, what with its in-house barber shop and beauty salon, movie theatre, exercise room, and what appears to be a ‘Pantheon of Basketball Greatness’ that includes a massive wrap-around wet bar. Also found within the property is a main floor master suite that boasts a sitting room and fireplace, and a chef’s kitchen, while the backyard offers a swimming pool with waterfall, covered patio and an outdoor fireplace.

Australian singer also prepping U.S. tour and re-release of his 2006 album. By Gil Kaufman Gotye Photo: Eleven Gotye has scored the longest-running #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “Somebody That I Used To Know.” So if one hit is good, 10 must be better, right? That seems to be the logic behind the upcoming release of a “Somebody” remix album, which, according to The Hollywood Reporter , is scheduled to drop on iTunes June 8 and feature reworkings of the song by Adrock, Tiesto, Gang of Colours, Bibio, M-Phazes, Faux Pas, 4Frnt, Sneaker For, Dan Aux and Miami Nights 1984. “Somebody” just marked its seventh week at #1, passing the year’s other inescapable single, fun.’s “We Are Young,” which held the top spot for six weeks. And if you’re psyched about that Gotye bounty, you’ll be even more excited to hear that the singer’s Australia-only 2006 sophomore album, Like Drawing Blood , will get re-released in the U.S. in July. But wait, there’s more! Gotye will kick off a 33-date North American tour on August 22 in Denver, Colorado at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre with support from Chairlift, Missy Higgins and Zammuto, but, alas, not Kimbra, the other voice heard on “Somebody.” Along the way, the tour will take Gotye to a number of landmark events and venues, including the Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival, Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, New York’s Radio City Music Hall, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and Austin, Texas, where he’ll wrap things up on October 13 with a slot at the Austin City Limits festival.

‘Throughout this competition, I grew a backbone,’ Ledet says of his third-place finish and his plans for a post-‘Idol’ album. By James Montgomery Joshua Ledet performs on “American Idol” Photo: Frank Micelotta/ Getty Images Despite receiving heaps of hyperbolic praise throughout his run on “American Idol” — like, for example, when he was dubbed “one of the best singers ever on the show” — Joshua Ledet wasn’t angry when he was booted in the week leading up to the “Idol” finale. Quite the opposite, in fact. “I was happy that I finished third; all the stress was gone from me. I felt relieved that I didn’t have to worry about competing, or learning any more songs … I was really, really relieved after getting voted off,” Ledet told MTV News. “Just being on a schedule every day, knowing what you’re going to do throughout the whole day, at the exact time, was ridiculous. We would literally go by the schedule. It was tough, rehearsing, learning the songs, doing press, photo shoots, all these different things, all in one day. … I don’t even think celebrities do that much in one day.” And while he might have had some issues with the rather frantic “Idol” schedule, Ledet had none with the guy who ended up winning this season, Phillip Phillips, whom he said “deserved” to be crowned champion — even if, like much of America , Ledet knew it was pretty much a foregone conclusion. “He’s not the kind of person to let people make decisions for him, he stands his ground and does his own thing. I think his career will be great,” he said. “I kinda knew in the back of my head that it was going to be Phillip, because his fans are ridiculous.” Ledet added that he’d like to emulate Phillips’ attitude when it comes time to make his post-“Idol” album — something that, before he competed on the show, seemed an impossibility for the shy Louisiana native. But now, thanks to his tremendous run and all that praise, Ledet’s ready to make the kind of album he wants to, and on his own terms. “I think throughout this competition, I grew a backbone, and I learned how to say ‘no.’ And I think when that time comes, to where I’m sitting in a room with a whole bunch of people deciding what my album’s going to be like, I think I’ll be strong enough to say ‘no’ to some things and ‘yes’ to things that I really want,” Ledet smiled. “And when they say ‘no,’ I’ll say ‘yes’ if I really like it. … Growing a backbone throughout this competition really helped me and got me in the shape I need to be in. … It’s the best thing I took from ‘American Idol.'” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

Joe Giudice has been indicted on charges of fraud . And while wife Teresa Giudice may not exactly be bribing a jury to send her man to the pokey, sources say she won’t be broken up if Joe does end up behind bars. It will be great for her career, after all! “If Joe goes to jail, there will be sympathy for her,” a Real Housewives insider tells Us Weekly . “And she’ll get a spinoff about life as a single mom. She’ll do a book deal, too: My Life Without Joe or something like that.” Another source puts it even more bluntly: “I’ve heard it time and time again: The second Joe goes to jail, Teresa’s getting her own show.” All close to the show agree that Teresa aims to break free from The Real Housewives of New Jersey and follow the path laid out by Bethenny Frankel, who has buily her own brand and empire. In the meantime, we’ll ask: Would you watch a Teresa Giudice reality show?
‘The fans can expect whatever they want this season, they’re not going to get it,’ Anders Holm warns of new season, premiering Tuesday. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Kelly Marino The cast of Workaholics Photo: MTV News Comedy Central’s truly excellent “Workaholics” makes its fully torqued return Tuesday night (May 29), kicking off its third season with an episode that sees Blake, Adam and ‘Ders embark on a “business trip” of a different sort — namely, the kind that involves acid. As the guys explained to MTV News, that’s just the tip of the iceberg for the new season, which sees them taking on tough topics, whether their fans like it or not. “We’re really tackling some hard-hitting issues with the third season,” Adam DeVine explained. “Obesity, ways to find drugs … hygiene is a real issue too.” “The fans can expect whatever they want this season, they’re not going to get it,” Anders Holm deadpanned. “We’re not going to give it to them.” As is the case for a show coming off a breakthrough second season — which saw them steal a dragon statue, terrorize a gated community and make tremendous advances in chewing tobacco on television (and was capped by DeVine’s Adam Demamp being named one of MTV’s Top 50 TV Characters of 2011 ) — the “Workaholics” plan to swing for the fences with their new season by totally changing everything you’ve come to love about the show. “We’re jumping the shark; after the fifth episode, we’re going to hire movie stars to play us,” DeVine said. “I have Matt Damon, he’s gaining 60 pounds. Wilfred Brimley is playing Kyle [Newachek’s water-trashy Kyle Hevacheck]. And we just got a really cute-looking cat to play Blake. And ‘Ders is no longer on the show at all.” That newfound clout is also evident in a pair of guest stars who will show up later this summer: none other than the Black Keys, who play “ponytailed dirtbags” and who have struck up a rather unlikely — and slightly soul-crushing — friendship with the “Workaholics” crew since filming their cameo. “We’ve just sort of stayed in touch, texting and stuff,” DeVine said. “It’s cool to see their lives. I’ll text them and be like, ‘Hey, what’s up, man?’ and they’re like, ‘Oh, just in Europe. Fifty-thousand people tonight. Pretty crazy.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, um, we shot a scene in Van Nuys today with 40 dudes my dad’s age working lights, and I had a fake erection.’ ”
‘The performance is another element to my career that I want to challenge myself and get better at,’ he tells MTV News in Houston. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Drake and 2 Chainz perform at his Club Paradise tour Photo: MTV News Club Paradise isn’t just about what you see onstage. Drake wanted to create a tour vibe that could be felt in the crowd and backstage as well. Take his posh dressing room, with its candles, wine-colored couches and matching OVO throw pillows or his branded Club Paradise Styrofoam cups. For Drizzy, it’s all about the detail. “Everywhere you turn, there are different rooms, different vibes. It’s kind of like I wanted to create a real atmosphere before show and after show,” Drake told MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway during his May 17 tour stop in Houston. “We paid very close attention to detail this tour, but all just for the greater good of the energy and the vibe.” Still, most fans don’t get to experience Club Paradise’s backstage magic, where on any given day tourmates J. Cole, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, Waka Flocka Flame and French Montana can be found milling about. So while out onstage, Drake gives each show his all. The hour-and-a-half set is very taxing. “I think going onstage for me now, it’s a very physical thing. It’s 90 minutes, and I like to deliver records so that they sound like the actual song,” the Young Money shining star explained. “To be able to maintain that stamina is very difficult, and it’s become a profession in its own for me, as far as mastering my breathing, working out every day, eating different, not drinking as much, just taking my life a bit more serious.” Drake came a long way from his first headlining tour in 2009. ” So Far Gone Tour was just a blast. We were young, we were going place to place; now it’s very much like I treat my mind and my body in this whole approach like an athlete. I think that’s maybe the evolution that we’re talking about,” he explained. “Along with working with my vocal coach, just trying to get better, watching great performances and special moments.” During his Houston stop, Drizzy brought out Rick Ross , and while in Atlanta on May 20, Drake welcomed hometown hero T.I. to the stage . “I feel like we’ve been pretty consistent on this tour with giving each city their own special moment,” he said confidently. “The performance is another element to my career that I want to challenge myself and get better at.” What’s your favorite Drake performance?

This week marks the big screen return of Will Smith — Hollywood’s most bankable star — after a four year absence from acting, during which time the erstwhile Fresh Prince refocused his personal pursuit of happiness: namely, producing the burgeoning entertainment careers of kids Jaden and Willow Smith, while fine-tuning his own career. So where do you go when you’re already on top — or were, a few films ago? Back to the blockbuster well, if you’re Smith, whose Men in Black 3 headlines the latest step in a lifetime career plan that, he describes, began when he was just a kid himself. “I like big movies,” admitted Smith to journalists at the Men in Black 3 press day in Los Angeles, “and the adjustment I’m making in my career right now is the clarity of what we’re saying with the movie. There has to be an idea, there has to be some message or some statement, for me.” Even, say, in a threequel about aliens wreaking havoc on earth? Despite widespread reports of the chaotic Men in Black 3 production — filming without a finished script, for starters — Smith insists these essential messages are there to be found as viewers watch his Agent J traipse back in time to the 1960s to save the younger version of his partner, Agent K (played by Josh Brolin , channeling Tommy Lee Jones with uncanny aplomb). “With Men in Black 3 we connected to the destructive nature of secrets,” he explained. “That idea whether you get that or not, when you look at it or think about it, that’s what we’re displaying, and how a relationship can get repaired and go to another level through the exposure of a secret.” At the age of 43, the Oscar- and Golden Globe-nominated Smith is almost twice as old as he was when he first rose to popularity on his TV show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air . And though he’s still got those baby faced looks and an effervescent energy about him, he espouses the kind of philosophical musings of someone who’s managed to avoid the pitfalls of fame through sheer determination. “I control every interaction with every human being that I’m with,” he proclaimed. “That a person isn’t just an asshole, or a person isn’t crazy; if I’m aware, I can actually manage any situation with 98 percent of the people on Earth.” Of course, there’s the odd fan who’ll go in for one too many kisses on the red carpet — like the Ukrainian journalist at the center of last week’s widely reported Men in Black 3 premiere incident (which occurred after this interview). “There are some lunatics that you just can’t do nothing with them,” Smith said with a smile, “but for the most part you play a part in every aspect of your life going the way you want, or not going the way that you want.” That self-determining secret to success is something that Smith also says he and wife Jada Pinkett-Smith try to impart to their children, Willow and Jaden. “The idea of failure is a label,” said Smith. “It has no bearing on what actually happened. What actually happened can turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to you if you decide that it’s the best thing that ever happened to you. So for me, the big thing with my kids is you have to control how you label things, because they’re going to become what you say it is. It’s very important to me that they understand the power they have to create the lives that they want.” “Willow, for example — we were getting flack for letting Willow cut her hair,” he said. “If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out in the world. Now, she can’t cut my hair! [Laughs] But that’s her hair. To me it’s more about lumping the responsibility on them for their lives, as much weight as they can hold without breaking… that’s what we try to give them until they can hold the full weight of their lives.” [To son Jaden, with whom Smith co-starred in The Pursuit of Happyness and appears in M. Night Shyamalan’s After Earth : “I tell him all the time, ‘Son, I’m going to teach you everything that I know — and if you work hard, you can be the second biggest movie star in the world.’”] This brings Smith full circle, in a way, with the roots of his own success, which he credits to soaking up the pop cultural trifecta of Star Wars , hip-hop, and TV’s Dallas as a child. “It just felt like somehow the limits got knocked off after I saw [ Star Wars ],” Smith recalled. He was 10 years-old when he first saw the sci-fi classic. “It coincided right with the time that ‘Rapper’s Delight’ came out, so it was the introduction to rap music and Star Wars in the same year. Rap music was something that only people in New York did, and it was separate and you couldn’t get it, but part of the experience of Star Wars made me think, ‘Oh, I can rap.’ My mind got expanded in a way that’s really hard to explain.” Add to that the sprawling estate that the Ewing family lived on in Dallas and Smith’s lifelong inspiration was set. “Grown people lived on the property and came to breakfast and everybody worked in the family business, and I was like, ‘I want that!’” he exclaimed. “So I’ve been like a mad scientist trying to build Dallas through Star Wars and rap music.” Men in Black 3 is in theaters Friday.

‘If I fell, lots of people fell … it definitely was a lot of weight,’ the ‘Jersey Shore’ star says about fears of letting his family down. By Gil Kaufman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino Photo: MTV News When you watch “Jersey Shore,” you’ll sometimes see its hard-partying castmembers wake up from rough nights out at the club with their hair disheveled, their rooms a mess and, if they’re lucky, a companion in their bed. But in addition to headaches and fuzzy memories, “Shore” lightning rod Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino said he often woke up with the kind of hangover a glass of water and a few hours in the gym can’t cure: deep regret. “That was going through my head every morning when I’d wake up,” Sorrentino told MTV News’ Sway Calloway in an exclusive interview in which he discussed his fears that an addiction to prescription painkillers could have cost him the friends, relationships and the budding celebrity he’d struggled to achieve. “The thought that possibly I would disappoint my loved ones … the things that I’ve worked so hard for in my career, I just didn’t want to lose that.” Compound those fears with the fact that Sorrentino’s business life is inextricably linked with his family — his two brothers and sister work with him — and you have a frightening scenario that scared Mike into checking into a rehab facility earlier this year. “If I fell,” he said, “lots of people fell. … It definitely was a lot of weight. If I was to make such a huge mistake or not [be] able to recover, so to speak, because of a substance … it was definitely something that I didn’t want to happen.” As he slipped into addiction, Sorrentino didn’t hang around with family, and, most noticeably for the originator of the “GTL” phenomenon, he stopped going to the gym. When the latter happened, that’s when the rest of the Sorrentino clan began to ask questions. “Once I stopped going to the gym, the family started to immediately notice,” he said. “They were like, ‘Why isn’t Mike going to the gym? Is he OK?’ ” Every addict will have at least one story about when they hit rock bottom, and Mike is no different. His bottom came during a personal appearance tour in Australia when he was, as always, surrounded by family. “I had the whole team there, and all I had to do was go to the appearance for an hour,” he said. “And I was so tired that I had trouble getting dressed. Just getting dressed. The outfit was actually laid out for me … all I had to do was jump in the shower and put the clothes on.” With his brother, his best friends and other close members of his team scratching their heads, Mike felt the pressure of the moment and could see that they knew something was wrong. “The whole team [was] looking at me like, ‘If Mike doesn’t get up on this, we’re gonna have a problem.’ ” He did eventually rally, but he knew it shouldn’t be that hard or take that long. “I realized right then and there: I was so tired I couldn’t do that — how am I going to do any other job?” he recalled. “I needed to ask for help. I was willing to say, ‘This thing is bigger than me.’ I knew that I couldn’t do it alone.” The first people to approach him and suggest he needed help were his older brother and business partner, Marc, and younger sister Melissa. “For him to come up to me and say something … it was very sincere, and I didn’t want to disappoint him,” Mike said of his brother, whom he respects above just about anyone. And so, with the help of his family and friends, Mike decided to take the necessary steps to get help. “It was already on my mind that I needed help and I could do this,” he said. “But I didn’t really know how to go about it.” Related Videos Exclusive: Mike ‘The Situation’ Speaks
