Lady Gaga ‘Loves’ ‘Born This Way’ Video, Laurieann Gibson Says

‘She’s very proud of it,’ Gaga’s creative director reveals to MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena Lady Gaga Photo: Jason Merritt/ Getty Images Fans have weighed in on Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” video, but how does Mother Monster herself feel about her latest entry into the world of music videos? The video’s creative director and Gaga’s choreographer, Laurieann Gibson, stopped by MTV News on Monday, the same day the Nick Knight-directed clip dropped, and she opened up about Gaga’s reaction to seeing the trippy “Born This Way” . “She loves it! She loves it so much and she’s so happy,” Gibson told us. “She loves it. She watches it all the time. Every time I walk in the dressing room [she says], ‘Ah! Look!’ She’s very proud of it.” Gibson shares that excitement and she said she’s pleased that Gaga and her team are spreading their message of love and acceptance. “I’m happy for her because she’s so fearless,” Gibson explained. “And she works so hard and, for me, those types of artists don’t come around that often.” Those sentiments were mirrored by one of Gaga’s producers, Fernando Garibay , who worked on many of the songs on the upcoming Born This Way. Garibay told us he thinks the video reflects the song’s feel-good message. “Well, I’ve seen pieces. We were privy to watching her make the video and stuff, and as we were watching her do the choreography and everything, we were just blown away, of course,” he said. “It’s amazing. Her talent, I mean, she’s so talented, but in combining the imagery, the dance and how it’s expressed with the song is truly amazing. … I’m still blown away by it. I saw it this morning and I was like, ‘Wow.’ ” What do you think of “Born This Way”? Let us know in the comments!

Britney Spears ‘Hold It Against Me’ Video: Everything You Need To Know!

Before the clip premieres tonight, we revisit the juicy Brit teasers and all of the inside dish. By Jocelyn Vena Britney Spears in a “Hold It Against Me” Teaser Photo: Jive As soon as Britney Spears debuted the lead single from her upcoming Femme Fatale album, “Hold It Against Me,” the conversation turned to what the music video would look like. On Thursday night (February 17), amid lots of buzz and high expectations, Spears will finally premiere the video on MTV and MTV.com. But before the big event, we’ve detailed everything you need to know, from teases to insider scoop. Shortly after “HIAM” hit the Net in January, Britney’s choreographer , Brian Friedman, teased that the pop star would be wearing some over-the-top costumes in the video. And then fans learned that Jonas

Britney Spears Is Ready To Work It In ‘Hold It Against Me’ Teaser

Surrounded by dancers, pop star looks as though she’s going to bust a move in latest clip. By Mawuse Ziegbe Britney Spears in her ninth “Hold It Against Me” teaser Photo: Jive Britney Spears continues to tease fans with seconds-long previews of her forthcoming video “Hold It Against Me,” and the offering on Saturday (February 2) was another lightning-quick snapshot of the vampy visual. In the seven-second preview, a cache of professional studio lighting flashes on surrounding an empty, circular, milk-white platform. Suddenly, Britney appears on the platform amid the bevy of lights in red hot pants, heels and a white top, her blonde hair falling at her shoulders and her feet apart, looking ready to groove. A team of dancers in all-white ensembles flank the pop diva in a similar stance, and with a similar intensity, looking ready to rock it. The entire video for Spears’ Femme Fatale lead single will premiere on MTV on February 17 at 9:56 p.m. ET, just before a spankin’ new episode of “Jersey Shore.” The video will also simultaneously premiere on MTV.com. In addition to priming fans with her quick video previews, the clip’s choreographer, Brian Friedman, told MTV News that Spears is “definitely setting the bar” with “Hold It Against Me.” “She’s showing that you have to push it as an artist: that you can’t just settle, that you can’t be calm with your choreography, that you have to make a statement,” he explained. “There’s so many people out there competing in this world to be the queen of pop, and she’s definitely claiming her throne.” Friedman also added that even with a slew of memorable videos under her belt, the megastar is trying to push the envelope with her latest visual. “Artistically, this video I think surpasses a lot of her other videos,” he teased. “So many of her videos are iconic, though. You look at ‘Toxic’ and you look at ‘Slave,’ even ‘Oops … I Did It Again’: People are gonna remember those videos forever. [In] ‘… Baby One More Time,’ she made school-girl outfits relevant and so popular. This video is artistically a masterpiece, and I don’t think that Britney has pushed the envelope in this way ever in any of her videos.” What do you think the rest of Britney’s video will look like?

The Situation Hasn’t Met ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Partner

‘We might try to implement the fist-pumping for the first episode,’ Karina Smirnoff tells MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino Photo: Andrew H. Walker/ Getty Images While most of the other couples are already prepping for the upcoming season of “Dancing With the Stars,” there are two dancers who have yet to even meet. Karina Smirnoff and “Jersey Shore” star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino haven’t even spoken to each other yet, but Smirnoff is sure they will have a lot to catch up on when he does eventually make it to rehearsals sometime later this month. “I’m excited and nervous and I have all these weird emotions, but I’m mostly excited,” Smirnoff told MTV News on Wednesday (September 1). “I think were literally the only couple who will only have about five days to get ready for the premiere on national television. Everyone else is going to have three and half weeks. We’re gonna have maybe five days, so that part I’m very nervous about. I know I have to be very clever in the choreography, because five days is just not enough. Even if you’re a professional dancer, it would be really, really tough to get ready. So we might try to implement the fist-pumping for the first episode.” Smirnoff joked that she thinks that the Situation’s only dancing experience is in Seaside Heights nightclubs, so she knows it’s going to take some creative solutions on her end to make him look like a professional dancer. “Once I meet him for the first time, whenever he’s here, that would be literally the first time I see him [and] I speak to him [and] I have any kind of contact with him, so leading up to that, I will try to create, like, variations, little pieces of choreography,” she explained. “It’s trial and error.” And if fans think Sorrentino will just be showing up shirtless week after week, Smirnoff is hoping they can show a new side of the TV star. “I was thinking, again, it’s all about seeing where his mind is. If that was up to me, we all know Mike as Mike ‘The Situation’ from ‘Jersey Shore,’ so I think it’d be nice to still have Mike as Mike that we know, but also show some more insight into him wearing a tuxedo, wearing something we’ve never seen. I hope we’re able to give different sides of Mike. “He looks like he’s in great physical shape, and that’s a plus and a minus,” she said. “I don’t know if Michael is ready, but he’s going to be stretched out to his limits, physically speaking.” Will you be rooting for the Situation on “Dancing With the Stars”?
