Ke$ha Extends Get $leazy Tour

‘I’m pulling out an ass-ton more glitter with blue lipstick to spare,’ singer says of added North American dates. By James Montgomery Ke$ha Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage Ke$ha’s Get $leazy Tour doesn’t wrap until May, but the singer is already making plans for a return engagement, announcing a second leg of the jaunt scheduled for this summer. Ke$h is adding more than 30 North American dates to the $leazy trek — beginning on July 26 in Harrington, Delaware, and wrapping on September 20 in Phoenix — giving fans even more opportunities to watch her guzzle blood from a human heart! Party-meisters LMFAO and prodigiously filthy rapper Spank Rock will join her on most dates. “My spring tour sold out so fast, which is amazing, but I want to get to party with errryone. If you are part of my family, my cult of rowdy misfits, come join us!” Ke$ha said in a grammatically adventurous statement on Monday (April 4). “I’m pulling out an ass-ton more glitter with blue lipstick to spare and I’m ready to party with all y’all all summer long. Sh–‘s gonna be hot as a mofo … Miss this and you be missing the biggest dance party of the year!” Indeed. Tickets for most of the new dates will be available beginning April 8 through LiveNation.com , but members of Ke$ha’s brand-new official fan club, the Family, will have first crack at tickets starting on April 5. For more information, check out KeshasFamily.com . Ke$ha released her remix album, I Am the Dance Commander + I Command You to Dance, last month, and she is currently crisscrossing the continent on the first edition of Get $leazy. She’ll head overseas for a run of festival shows before returning to North America to begin round two. The dates for Ke$ha’s Get $leazy Tour, according to RCA Records:

‘Harry Potter’ Epilogue Is About ‘The Cycles Of Life,’ Producer Says

‘It’s about Harry, Ron and Hermione taking their children to King’s Cross station to the very place where the story began,’ David Heyman reveals. By Terri Schwartz, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Bonnie Wright and Daniel Radcliffe in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” Photo: Warner Bros. The end is coming for “Harry Potter” fans on July 15, but that hasn’t left them feeling any less excited for, well, the end . It’s the question that keeps coming back again and again every time we talk to the “Potter” stars and crew: What details can you share about the “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” epilogue? It is known that the principle actors reprise their roles as older versions of themselves in the scene, and despite reshoots , they still look pretty dapper as adults (though Rupert Grint wishes Ron hadn’t gained as much weight as he did). But when MTV News caught up with producers David Barron and David Heyman at CinemaCon on Thursday, we were ready to get them to share the nitty-gritty details, like just how long the scene will actually be. “It’s not long. It’s about two … a couple of minutes,” Barron said. “It’s long enough to tell its story. We like it. We think it works well, and it does leave you feeling a bit [emotional].” Barron went on to say that the epilogue is more than just a look into the future of the main characters of the “Potter” series to show how they all ended up happily ever after. It’s also a brief insight into the way a country recovers after a terrible war. “We’re expressing it through our three principle characters, who obviously have had a terrible time in many respects. Because they have been fighting Voldemort for longer than we can remember, and came close to death, you’ll see the state of the school at the end. It was not an easy battle,” he said. “As countries, as nations do, as cultures do, they recover and they renew and life carries on. It is about renewal.” That sense of renewal and of the films coming full circle will be shown both on and off the screen. Decisions were made to include loved ones and family members of the cast and crew in the epilogue sequence, like allowing Tom Felton’s girlfriend Jade Olivia to play his onscreen wife. “[The epilogue is] about the cycles of life,” Heyman explained. “It’s about Harry, Ron and Hermione taking their children to King’s Cross station to the very place where the story began, to begin the journey that they began many years ago. It’s really beautiful and really tender.” That cycle cannot be seen more clearly than in the casting of Harry and Ginny’s daughter, Lily Luna Potter, in the epilogue sequence. Daniel Radcliffe revealed to MTV last year that the young girl chosen is the daughter of makeup department head Amanda Knight, who just happens to have the red hair and blue eyes that make her a perfect pick. She was born a week before Radcliffe originally got the part of Harry and, at 9 years old, was the “physical embodiment of how long we’ve been here” making the films. So do Heyman and Barron know what the last scene of the “Harry Potter” franchise is? “Yes, but we’re not going to tell you just yet,” Heyman said with a laugh. “It’s the one where Voldemort comes back!” Barron teased. That sounds like the right time to announce a reboot of the series with Radcliffe starring as Dumbledore .

‘Source Code’: The Reviews Are In!

See what critics are saying about the Jake Gyllenhaal-starring sci-fi film. By Eric Ditzian Michelle Monaghan and Jake Gyllenhaal in “Source Code” Photo: Summit Entertainment The beginning of March brought us a well-reviewed sci-fi movie in “The Adjustment Bureau.” The first day of April gifts us with a far superior, and deservedly better reviewed, genre flick called “Source Code.” Here’s the funny thing (and the enduring, head-scratching nature of the box office): The new movie, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, isn’t likely to pull in more bucks over its opening weekend than Matt Damon’s “Bureau” ($21.2 million). That’s a shame, because more people than are expected to buy tickets — experts are predicting around $15 million in receipts — should check out “Source Code,” the second feature from Duncan Jones (“Moon”). But don’t just take it from us. Check out what the critics are saying about the film: The Story “Army Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) awakens on a commuter train heading to Chicago, and doesn’t know where he is. He finds the delightful Christina (Michelle Monaghan) sitting across from him. … Colter doesn’t know — and neither do we — that he’s part of a highly classified military research project and has been sent into the immediate past to find out who bombed that train. The ‘source code’ — a kind of shorthand for computer shorthand — is given a breezy but satisfying enough explanation by its inventor (Jeffrey Wright), but what it does, basically, is provide Colter with an eight-minute window, in a parallel reality, to find the bomber and prevent what is expected to be a subsequent terrorist attack on Chicago itself.” — John Anderson, The Wall Street Journal The Performances “‘Source Code’ clicks along with swift, crisp tension, with Gyllenhaal delivering an assured lead performance as a man at once out of his depth and supremely self-assured. … Indeed, it’s the persuasive turns of all the cast members — within an otherwise preposterous setup — that allow filmgoers to surrender to the propulsive force of ‘Source Code.’ Monaghan and Farmiga are especially winning as the sympathetic women who coax Stevens along a path that, while preordained, he insists on twisting.” — Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post The Direction ” ‘Source Code’ is nimbly directed by Duncan Jones, whose 2009 ‘Moon’ was probably the past decade’s smartest, most ambitious science-fiction film. Although ‘Source Code”s premise is a Philip K. Dick-style mindbender, Jones plays the story straight. The movie triggers memories of those classic Hitchcock suspense stories starring Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant as a bystander abruptly thrust into life-or-death intrigue. Setting the action on a train gives the story a claustrophobic sense of urgency and a nice thematic resonance: Is Stevens’ future also moving with unstoppable momentum on a fixed path?” — Colvin Colbert, Minneapolis Star Tribune The Dissenters “‘Source Code’ can’t help but come down with the conceptual sillies from time to time. The situation is so preposterous and the characters’ attempts to explain it make for such bogus high-tech gobbledygook — Jeffrey Wright does what he can with the stock role of the crippled Dr. Strangelove behind the experiment — that you need a weed whacker just to keep sight of the plot. The movie plays with the metaphysics of time and causality, and it gives Gyllenhaal a big Sisyphean rock to push uphill over and over, but in no way does it enter the cosmically profound through the back door the way ‘Groundhog Day’ did.” — Ty Burr, Boston Globe The Final Word “Superficially, ‘Source Code’ plays with some of the same themes as last month’s ‘The Adjustment Bureau.’ But it’s made with so much more skill and craft and impact that it’s as if that other film were its made-for-TV doppelganger. This is hair-raising, clever and winning entertainment. Even if his protagonists aren’t entirely what they seem to be or think they are, Mr. Jones is, it’s increasingly clear, the real thing.” — Shawn Levy, The Oregonian Check out everything we’ve got on “Source Code.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
