‘American Idol’ Hopeful Travis Orlando Impresses Judges

‘Idol’ premiere auditioner is a bespectacled Bronx native who’ll take his touching, hard-knock story to Hollywood. By Mawuse Ziegbe Travis Orlando auditions on “American Idol” Wednesday Photo: FOX Travis Orlando was the final New Jersey auditioner to face the three-judge panel on Wednesday night’s (January 19) “American Idol” premiere, and they clearly saved one of the best for last. Sporting a snug red T-shirt and skinny jeans, the slender, bespectacled Bronx native first won over judges with a tender rendition of the Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby,” in a delicately soulful voice that newbie judge Jennifer Lopez later called “pretty” and “sweet.” Clearly feeling the teen singer’s cover, Steven Tyler asked to hear more, and Orlando obliged with Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours,” which scored approving nods from judge Randy Jackson. However, despite his sugary vocals, Orlando entered the “Idol” judging session with a scrappy backstory. The 16-year-old took viewers on a tour of his rough Bronx neighborhood near the Grand Concourse thoroughfare, an area he described as being plagued with murder and crime, as he and some family members walked past a curbside shrine to a fallen neighbor. “You have robberies, you have killings — anything you can possibly imagine goes on here,” Orlando said. The teen crooner also spoke candidly about living in homeless shelters for a few years, when the tight-knit Orlando clan fell on hard times after their patriarch fell ill and they succumbed to the recession. Despite the adversity, Orlando said his twin brother, Timmy — who he admitted is nothing like him — supported him and told him to keep his head up and believe in his talent. So it was only fitting that not only was Orlando’s family waiting for him with Ryan Seacrest while he auditioned, but they bum-rushed the room with glee when the judges announced Orlando was headed to Hollywood. The final audition of the day took a heartfelt emotional turn as the twins embraced and fought back tears. As the last of the 51 West Coast-bound “Idol” crooners, Orlando said he wanted his story to inspire others to chase their dreams, regardless of the circumstances. The teen singer tearfully signed off by saying he wanted to “prove to other people that anyone can do this.” What did you think of “American Idol” on Wednesday? Let us know in the comments!

Song’s 3-D video will premiere Sunday. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Kelly Marino Avril Lavigne Photo: MTV News Avril Lavigne is as bratty as ever on her new single, the catchy, almost bubbly “What the Hell.” The lead single off Lavigne’s upcoming release, Goodbye Lullaby , due March 8, has not only been burning up the iTunes charts, but it’s also gotten some Twitter love from Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. “I’m just really excited to be back,” the former teen star told MTV News. “It’s been a few years, and I’m excited to see that ‘What the Hell’ [is] doing good so far on iTunes and [with] the fans. The response has been really great, so I’m happy.” The song also just had an impressive debut on the Billboard charts , landing at #6 on the Digital Songs chart, beating Kanye West and Jay-Z’s new song, “H.A.M.” This Sunday, fans will finally get the chance to see the clip for the video when it debuts on ABC Family. “The music video for ‘What the Hell’: It’s kind of a guy chasing me around, and I hop into a random cab, and he’s chasing me,” Lavigne explained. “And I go through a clothing store and he chases me, but at the end of the video, it’s really just me having a bunch of fun with him, and he’s my boyfriend, so I like him in the end.” The video is special because it was shot in 3-D. “The music video’s in 3-D, and my favorite part of the video is the rock-out scene at the end where I jump onstage and I’m with my band,” she said. “When we shot it and I got to watch it back in 3-D with the glasses and actually you can see the crowd’s hands and it felt like you were live in a crowd, so it was kind of cool.” Are you a fan of “What the Hell”?

Britney Spears’ ‘Hold It Against Me’ Tops Billboard Digital Songs Chart

Single debuts at #1 and breaks Taylor Swift’s previous sales record. By Jocelyn Vena Britney Spears’ “Hold It Against Me” Photo: Jive Don’t hold it against her, but Britney Spears has a hit on her hands. Her new track, “Hold It Against Me,” which was released last week, topped the Billboard Digital Songs chart . The Dr.Luke/ Max Martin-produced song, the lead single from the singer’s yet-untitled March album, sold 411,000 downloads in its first week available for purchase. The debut also means that Spears broke a record. According to Billboard, that is Spears’ best sales week for a digital song as well as largest debut for a woman as a lead artist. She beat out the record previously held by Taylor Swift . In February, Swift’s “Today Was a Fairytale” sold 325,000 downloads; incidentally, Swift broke the record previously held by Spears when that track debuted at the top of the charts. Spears bumps Bruno Mars’ “Grenade” to #2; Wiz Khalifa moved up the chart to #3 with “Black and Yellow,” followed by Katy Perry’s “Firework,” which dropped two spots to #4. Other newcomers to the chart include Avril Lavigne’s “What the Hell” at #6 and Jay-Z and Kanye West’s collaboration, “H.A.M.,” at #10. Enrique Iglesias’ “Tonight (I’m Lovin’ You)” (#5), the Black Eyed Peas’ “The Time (Dirty Bit)” (#7), Lil Wayne’s “6 Foot 7 Foot” (#8) and Ke$ha’s “We R Who We R” (#9) round out the top 10. Spears is also the top seller on iTunes. Last week, when the song was released, Spears immediately jumped to the top of the iTunes charts in 16 countries . “This is absolutely incredible!” her manager Adam Leber tweeted last week’s about the song’s success. “Brit’s fans never cease to amaze me.” Are you feeling “Hold It Against Me”?

Emily McCombs: The Mr. Skin Skinterview

Asylum.com’s “Token Girl” Opens Up for a Q&A on Celebrity T&A Mr. Skin has long admired AOL’s guy-centric entertainment site, Asylum , and one major reason (or is it two) has been Emily McCombs and her uproarious video reports from “ A Woman’s Perspective .” Raven-maned, tattooed funnylady Emily grew up in suburban Oklahoma (“It’s the middle of the Bible Belt,” she notes, “and secular entertainment was frowned upon, so any nudity I managed to see on television or in movies was enjoyed with one eye on the door, one finger on the channel change button, and a sizable dollop of guilt”). At present, Emily resides in New York City where, for kicks, she sings in an all-girl barbershop quartet. She swears. Alas, Asylum will be closing up shop this week. However, Emily will continue to amuse and inspire online via “A Woman’s Perspective” (though it will be called something else). Do be on the lookout for her and dive on in now to her Mr. Skin Skinterview. *************************************** What’s the first movie and/or TV nude scene you remember seeing? The breast-baring scene at the end of Just One of the Guys made a real impression on me. I loved that movie so much I would pretend to be sick and stay home from school when it was going to be on television. As for more serious nudity, I found Sliver very sexually enlightening as a young adult. There’s something like 50,000 nude scenes in that film, and the creepy/sexy plot that Billy Baldwin is spying on his female tenants with video cameras everywhere. What’s your all-time favorite nude scene? Everybody made a big deal out of Halle Berry ’s nude scene in Monster’s Ball , but I love the scene with Amber Rules as the hooker who strips down all matter-of-factly and takes it from Heath Ledger from behind. I don’t think it’s supposed to be hot, necessarily, but the dirtiness and transactionality of it really does it for me. Thora Birch in American Beauty is also great, just because she has some of the best breasts ever. And Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon in Bound is one of my all-time favorites. I’m not a lesbian, but I feel like I could be when I watch that scene. Who are the three sexiest actresses presently working in movies and/or TV? Christina Hendricks , Sofia Vergara , and Salma Hayek . All three of them have bodies that are difficult to even comprehend. Truly dangerous curves. I’ve never understood guys who are obsessed with these tiny actresses like Natalie Portman . It seems like all these guys want to have sex with Natalie Portman. I like these larger-than-life, ridiculously proportioned women. I’m a big Russ Meyer fan. Who are the three sexiest actresses from the past? Raquel Welch in One Million Years BC , Jane Fonda in Barbarella and a tie between Ann-Margret and Brigitte Bardot . Again, the common denominator seems to be their incredible figures. So sue me. What is the sexiest favorite movie genre? Low-budget horror movies are the best for nudity, because all these kids who want to be filmmakers figured out that if you hire one decently hot chick to show her boobs in your movie, you can probably get it distributed. Sometimes they’ll have boobs right on the DVD menu page. I was really traumatized by those Sleepaway Camp movies when I was a kid, but they were also full of boobs, which was titillating. So that combination of scary/arousing is sort of nostalgic for me. What’s the funniest nude scene you’ve ever seen I always take nudity very seriously. Have you ever been strangely turned on by a movie, TV show or individual scene that seemed “inappropriate”? Recently, I found myself super-aroused by the scene in the new Bad Lieutenant where Nic Cage ’s unhinged cop forces Stephanie Honore to give him a handjob while her boyfriend watches. The throughline here seems to be that I like creepy dudes. You describe yourself as a bit of a “chubby chaser” with guys. Does that go for women you find beautiful as well? I picked all curvy women for my sexiest actresses, but I also love plus-size models Kate Dillon , Crystal Renn and Mia Tyler . And Anna Nicole Smith usually looked amazing, even when she was on the “large” side. We’re terribly sorry to learn about Asylum shutting down. What’s next for you? Thank you. I’m sad about it – I loved my job at Asylum every day that I did it. I’m leaving AOL and joining a media startup to help launch some new websites. I’m also working on a book proposal, and I hope to keep doing “A Woman’s Perspective” in some form, although I’m no longer allowed to call it “A Woman’s Perspective.” And it’s not 100% for sure yet, but you should actually be able to see me doing my own segment on a television talk show starting this year. I’ll be posting the deets on my Facebook page here .

Jared Lee Loughner Video: A Walk Through His "Genocide School"

A video more scary than the ones Jared Lee Loughner posted to YouTube has been released. In the following clip, the 22-year old arrested for shooting Gabrielle Giffords last week and killing six Arizona residents meanders through Pima Community College. At various point, he refers to the “genocide school,” its “torture of students” and how he’s “in a terrible place.” The video went live on September 23 of last year. A week later, Loughner was suspended. Jared Loughner College Trek One has to wonder: how was someone with such a background legally permitted to purchase an automatic weapon?

Rachel Bilson and her Box of the Day

Wrong box Rachel Bilson….no one cares about seeing you load your car with your bullshit purchases….except for maybe my friend who loves watching bitches in the grocery store load their cars in the parking lot enough to have purchased a mini van with good tints so he can jerk off when they do….we want to see your fucking vagina…. You’d think being recently single from having been held captive by that weird Canadian no one cares about would make her a little more into flashing the fucking goods to get a little male attention…I guess she’s just a little rusty…. So here are those pics for my perverted shopping center parking lot creeper….even though he’s got an endless supply of the real thing…

Rihanna Is A Sexy Redhead

Here’s Rihanna out the other night in her silly wig, come on that can’t be real hair, looking kinda normal for a change. I like it, she can’t go around dressed as a futuristic prostitute all the time, so this is a nice change. I think that I could talk to this Rihanna over a few cocktails, the Rihanna in tight space outfits from her concerts forget about it, completely out of my league. If a chick in jeans and a t-shirt can get my attention, she’s a keeper. Enjoy.

Daveigh Chase Is Hot New Talent

I don’t know anything about this Daveigh Chase chick, but I’m always on the look out for new “talent” so these are right up my alley. Here she is at some premiere for something I have no interest in looking hot in her little outfit. Look at those legs. I’d like to dip those things in chocolate and see where the night takes us. Obviously we’ll be completely nude and feeling good after killing a box of wine. Call me. more pictures of Daveigh Chase here
