Shakira to Arizona: You’re Violating Human Rights

Posted on April 29, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The She Wolf is on the prowl, and she’s set her sights on Arizona. In response to that state’s incomprehensible new immigration law – which allows the police to ask for the identification of anyone suspected of being an illegal alien – Shakira is going on the attack. She’s headed to to Arizona today to get involved in the issue, telling Ryan Seacrest on the radio this morning: “As a Latina, I’m very concerned how this law can impact working Hispanic families. I think that being detained in the street just because of the color of your skin is just wrong, and it’s a violation of human and civil rights.” From the American Idol stage to the rights-violating streets of Arizona, Shakira is everywhere this week! The Colombian-born singer, who is as charitable as celebrities get, will hold a press conference with Phoenix mayor Phil Gordon this week. Like her truth-telling hips, we hope Shakira gives it to the lawmakers straight. After all, Arizona has actually made it legal for cops to make like Nazis and order: Show me your papers! “They’re really willing to enforce the law even though they know it’s going crush the dreams of so many immigrants who would like to have a shot at the American dream like so many minorities have in the past in this country,” Shakira said, continuing: “We all know that America has been forged by the dreams of those people and by their passion and by their contribution to the economy by working really hard, and that’s what Latinos do in this country, is work tirelessly. “I wasn’t born in this country, and I know what a great country this is. It depends greatly on creating union, not division, and I think this law will create chaos and create division instead of progress and union, and I don’t think it’s fair.” We’d love to see anyone argue with that.

A Problem in Chyna: Joanie Laurer Accused of Assault

Posted on April 29, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The United States might owe billions of dollars in debt to China, but the celebrity gossip world owes even more to Chyna. The former professional wrestler, whose real name is Joanie Laurer, made news in the past for multiple sex tapes and steroid allegations. She’s been a boon to tabloids around the country. Now, Laurer is making headlines again… for yet another scandalous incident: Gabriela Targos, a (former?) friend of Laurer’s, claims that Joanie beat her up Saturday night at the Sherman Oaks motel. According to Targos, she simply invited Laurer over for the evening – only to watch in horror as the troubled Z-lister snapped, allegedly punching Targos in the face, dragging her by the hair and beating her with a wire hanger. Targos escaped the room and immediately reported the incident to police. They are looking into it. They might also wanna look into the photo above. That ain’t right.

Posted on April 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Arizona Capitol police gather as protesters of immigration bill SB1070 sit on the Capitol lawn Saturday, April 24, 2010 at the Capitol in Phoenix a day after Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed the bill into law. The sweeping measure would make it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally, and would require local law enforcement to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are in the country illegally.

Posted on April 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

All-AC/DC ‘Iron Man 2′ soundtrack debuts at #4, Justin Bieber falls to #3 in next week’s rankings. By Gil Kaufman Glee: The Music, the Power of Madonna Photo: Columbia Records The Gleeking of America continues unabated, as the latest soundtrack from the hit Fox series about singing teens will hit #1 on the Billboard 200 chart next week. The seven-track The Power of Madonna from “Glee,” featuring such hits as “Vogue,” “Like a Virgin,” “Like a Prayer” and “Express Yourself,” will top the charts with a modest 100,000 in sales, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan. The second-highest debut of the week will belong to the all-AC/DC soundtrack to “Iron Man 2,” which will hit #4 (76,000), followed by the latest from flip-flop-loving beach bum Jimmy Buffett, the Wal-Mart exclusive Encores (#7, 31,000). The rest of the top 10 was relatively unchanged, with country trio Lady Antebellum continuing the strong run of Need You Now (#2, 83,000), riot-causing teen Justin Bieber falling two slots to #3 with My World 2.0 (81,000), Usher falling one with Raymond v Raymond (#5, 52,000), NOW 33 holding steady at #6 (37,000), Bieber’s debut, My World, creeping up two spots to #8 (31,000), the Zac Brown Band’s Foundation hopping six spots to #9 (29,000) and Lady Gaga dropping three to #10 with The Fame (28,000). The lineup was way different on the iTunes Album Chart , where Bullet for My Valentine’s Fever was in the #1 spot, followed by the “Glee” Madonna album, the Punk Goes Classic Rock compilation, Melissa Etheridge’s Fearless Love , Kaskade’s Dynasty , Lady Antebellum, Mary Chapin Carpenter’s The Age of Miracles , Usher, the deluxe version of Miranda Cosgrove’s Sparks Fly and Shania Twain: Greatest Hits . A couple of hard rockers just missed the winner’s circle on the Billboard tally, with Circa Survive debuting at #11 with Blue Sky Noise (28,000) and veterans Sevendust just behind them at #12 with Cold Day Memory (27,000). A handful of wins at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas helped boost Miranda Lambert’s Revolution by 23 spots, moving it to #13 (26,000, up 105 percent), even as trippy rockers MGMT took a serious 16-spot tumble in week two with their knotty second album, Congratulations (#18, 20,000, down 70 percent). Carrie Underwood also drafted on some ACM goodwill, moving up 17 slots to #21 with Play On after becoming the first woman in the awards’ history to win Entertainer of the Year two years in a row. Rap veterans Cypress Hill landed at #19 with their latest, Rise Up (18,000), which features cameos from Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda, Everlast, Pitbull and Mark Anthony. Further down the line, the original cast recording of Green Day’s “American Idiot” Broadway musical landed at #43 (11,000) and British singer Kate Nash crashed the boards at #60 with her album My Best Friend Is You (8,000). Look for new releases next week from B.o.B, Melissa Etheridge and Hole, plus a new “iCarly” soundtrack. Related Artists Madonna AC/DC Justin Bieber Lady Antebellum Usher Zac Brown Band Lady Gaga

Bret Michaels’ Medical Setback Is Routine, Expert Says

Posted on April 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Singer is temporarily at higher risk for seizures as result of brain hemorrhage. By Gil Kaufman Bret Michaels Photo: George Napolitano/ Getty Images long road to recovery from a brain hemorrhage hit a minor setback on Tuesday, when his spokesperson revealed that the Poison singer is suffering from hyponatremia , a lack of sodium in the body that could lead to seizures. While serious, the medical issue is a fairly typical complication of the type of subarachnoid hemorrhage stroke suffered by the 47-year-old rock star, according to Dr. Joseph Broderick, a member of the American Academy of Neurology and chair of the University of Cincinnati Neurology Department. Bret Michaels’ Career In Photos “The body regulates the amount of minerals in the blood within a narrow range, and sodium is one of them,” said Broderick, a specialist in the treatment of acute stroke and the genetics of hemorrhagic stroke. Broderick, who is not treating Michaels and does not have first-hand knowledge of the singer’s case, told MTV News earlier this week that based on the information made public so far, the case is very serious but could be survivable. “There are a lot of things that could lead to sodium levels being outside normal range and it’s not atypical as a complication of a subarachnoid hemorrhage,” Broderick said on Wednesday. “It’s complicated, but is generally a treatable thing that people recover from and not generally life-threatening.” Hyponatremia can make a patient sleepier and, as noted, increase the risk of seizures in the short term, but Broderick said it doesn’t make them more prone to seizures in the long term. If properly managed by Michaels’ doctors, the disorder should not pose a long term threat to his brain health.

‘American Idol’ Experts Predict The End (Again) For Michael Lynche

Posted on April 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Casey James and Aaron Kelly will likely join him in the bottom three. By Gil Kaufman Michael Lynche Photo: FOX He might have gotten the judges’ save a few weeks ago, but time appears to have run out for brawny personal trainer Michael Lynche — at least according to MTV’s “American Idol” experts. “I think it’s finally Big Mike Lynche’s time to go,” said MJ Santilli, webmaster of the “Idol” fan site MJsBigBlog.com . “He sang a very competent version of [Shania Twain’s] ‘It Only Hurts When I’m Breathing,’ but unfortunately, Aaron Kelly and Casey James, two other contestants on the cusp, stepped it up this week.” Lynche got mostly positive notes from the judges — except Simon Cowell, who cryptically called the performance “wet” and “girly” — and he brought mentor Twain to tears, but even his Luther Vandross-like take on the songs might not have been enough to push him past other audience favorites. “Aaron had all the grandmas and mommies heading for the tissues first and then their phones to vote after he transformed Twain’s romantic ballad, ‘It’s in the Way You Love Me,’ into an ode to his adoptive mother,” Santilli said. “And Casey James went back to the thing that works for him — wrapping his country growl around a tender ballad.” Santilli thinks Kelly and James will join Lynche in the bottom three, but it will be Big Mike who gets sent home. MTV News’ “Idol” obsessive, Jim Cantiello, had to agree. “All the good will from the judges’ save has dissipated, and we’re left with a performance that viewers may feel like they’ve seen before,” he said. “There was a lot of hoopla from most of the judges about how well Michael connected to the song, but by the end of the episode, Casey and even Aaron managed to perform their songs in a more believable way.” Yes, Twain was driven to tears by Lynche, but Cantiello isn’t sure voters were moved in the same way. “Remember: The guy first went home after a similarly praised and similarly theatrical ‘Eleanor Rigby,’ ” he recalled. Do you agree with our experts’ opinions? Who do you think is going home tonight? Write in your comments below and check the Newsroom blog on Thursday morning to see how our experts did.

T.I. Premieres ‘I’m Back,’ First Video Since Prison Release

Posted on April 27, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Clip, from forthcoming album King Uncaged, finds Tip getting reacquainted with his hometown. By Jayson Rodriguez T.I. in his video for “I’m Back” Photo: Atlantic Everybody loves a comeback, and T.I. is in full force with his return. On Monday night, the Atlanta rapper premiered the video for “I’m Back,” the first track he’s released since he ended his federal prison sentence earlier this year. The clip debuted on T.I.’s website , and features him returning to his roots. Tip, sitting shotgun in a black SUV, is driven to a group of buildings. The truck slowly pulls up to a warehouse in the complex and Tip exits the vehicle as the door to the building opens. T.I. quickly enters and lights a match to brighten up the dark space. Clad in a hoodie, T-shirt and little jewelry, Tip walks up to a covered car parked inside. When T.I. pulls back the cover, the camera finds his car, a Ferrari, waiting for him. The rapper shuffles over to the trunk of the import and inside spots a leather bag, from which he retrieves wads of cash and an expensive watch and necklace set. And his shades. From there, Tip takes a spin in his car and gets reacquainted with his hometown. But like the lyrics in the song, T.I. isn’t revisiting his past mistakes, he’s moving on. “Probably just seen Wayne, Gucci Mane, me and Boosie all go to prison, now he flippin’ his whole image,” Tip raps. “Really trippin’, listen dude, for you that’s not in your cards/ Think the power’s in the gun, but overall it’s in your heart.” “I’m Back,” the first offering from T.I.’s forthcoming King Uncaged LP, premiered last month. The rapper, who hasn’t spoken much since he was released from prison late last month has been hard at work on his album, which is scheduled to arrive in stores and online August 17. In an interview that was posted on his site recently, the rapper spoke about the project and promised fans a more aggressive tone on King Uncaged . “I want to maintain the level of success I’ve been fortunate enough to do, over and over again, over the years,” Tip said. “This album is different in many ways. I think that Paper Trail was a lot more about thoughts; this is more about feelings. This is significantly more aggressive, or at least at this period in production. Who knows? I can do 10 love songs tomorrow and change the direction. At this point, right now, it’s going hard. It’s going hard like classic T.I.” What do you think of T.I.’s new video?

B.o.B Says Debut Album Has Some ‘Surprising Factors’

Posted on April 27, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘You can’t just understand me with one song,’ he says of B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray. By Steven Roberts Photo: MTV News B.o.B has forged quite a path for himself during his brief time in the music industry. The promising young MC is set to release his debut album, B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray, on Tuesday (April 27) after a year that included announcements of alleged retirements , label squabbling and two name changes (Bobby Ray and then back again to B.o.B). Now B.o.B finds himself with the #2 record in the country and his collaboration with Paramore’s Hayley Williams following close behind. B.o.B said that he and his fans are finally ready for his full-length effort. “Getting to this point and finally getting an album out — I know I speak on behalf of all my fans — it’s been a very long wait and I feel like everybody’s finally ready for it,” he explained. “Even though I’ve had a lot of music in the past, I feel like now it’s timing, because timing plays a huge role in the success of things — especially me, and getting here really took a lot of online presence, a lot of performing. It took a lot of shows. “It took a lot of building relationships,” he continued. “Even with the fans, you have to build the relationship with the fans. Someone may just like one song, but that’s just one song. You really have got to build and grow. My music has a wide variety to it, so you can’t just understand me with one song.” B.o.B joked that it would probably take the average listener 10 songs to get to know him — his album is eclectic and not short on guest appearances, featuring T.I., Lupe Fiasco, Rivers Cuomo of Weezer and Eminem . “I think now people know what they should expect, and even still, playing the album for people they’re still like, ‘Wow, I didn’t know it was going to be that,’ ” he said of fans’ reactions. “I think the fans know to expect decent music. I don’t think anybody’s expectations will be low for it, but I feel like it will definitely have some surprising factors to it.” What do you think of B.o.B’s debut? Let us know in the comments below!

He’s a great friend and has always been there for me. And he and his brothers make great music! What’s not to like?” Finally, in Cutest Couple Award news: Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart took home that trophy for New Moon . “I have to admit, I have always dreamt of winning one of these orange blimps,” said Lautner, who also named Favorite Actor. “Seriously.” Might this cause tension on set between Lautner and Robert Pattinson ?
