REVIEW: Michael Douglas’s Solitary Man More Shocking Than Interesting

Public humblings are a risky maneuver, whether engineered by politicians, tycoons, athletes or movie stars: Nothing less than abject vulnerability will do, and the performance will be scrutinized for sincerity with a righteous, collectively hooded eye. You may not have been aware that Michael Douglas was scheduled for a public humbling, and yet every aspect of Solitary Man , a lewdly annotative study of aging male salaciousness, is engineered to tweak our received ideas about its star. Part two of this exercise, Oliver Stone’s sequel to Wall Street , which finds former financial alpha lizard Gordon Gekko freshly released from prison, may have a better shot at tapping those ideas; it at least has more reason to presume they have remained relevant in the public imagination.

Green exercise healthier than techno-sweat

Where you exercise turns out to have measurable effects on physical and mental health. Exercising in a healthy, green environment significantly lowers blood pressure, increases self-esteem and has a positive significant effect on 4 of 6 mood measures, according to new research published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research . Subjects who watched pleasant rural images while running on a treadmill experienced greater health boosts than runners who saw negative urban images. Treadmill runners were shown one of four different types of scenes—”rural pleasant,” “rural unpleasant,” “urban pleasant” or “urban unpleasant”—before being screened for blood pressure and mood factors. Researchers noted the environment’s clear effect on subjects’ health: Exercise alone significantly reduced blood pressure, increased self-esteem, and had a positive significant effect on 4 of 6 mood measures. Both rural and urban pleasant scenes produced a significantly greater positive effect on self-esteem than the exercise-only control. This shows the synergistic effect of green exercise in both rural and urban environments. By contrast, both rural and urban unpleasant scenes reduced the positive effects of exercise on self-esteem. The rural unpleasant scenes had the most dramatic effect, depressing the beneficial effects of exercise on three different measures of mood. It appears that threats to the countryside depicted in rural unpleasant scenes have a greater negative effect on mood than already urban unpleasant scenes. Looking ahead, the researchers pointed out the implications of green exercise on society as a whole, noting the importance of such projects as healthy walking projects; exercise by prescription; healthy school environments; healthy travel to school projects; green views in hospitals, city farms and community gardens; urban green space; and outdoor leisure activities in the countryside. Our prescription for a great weekend? A long walk, taken with a heaping spoonful of “rural pleasant.” To your health! (Photo credit: a2td, SXC )

Robin Thicke Rides ‘Rollacoasta’ With ‘Amazing Talent’ Estelle

‘We’re just talking about the roller coaster of romance,’ Thicke tells MTV News on the video’s set. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Kelly Marino Robin Thicke Photo: MTV News Robin Thicke isn’t shy about hooking up with the ladies to make soulful, sexy duets. Having already worked with Leighton Meester and Nicki Minaj , it was time for Thicke to recruit some vocals from across the pond. For his song “Rollacoasta,” Thicke brought British chanteuse Estelle along for the ride. The collaboration was a perfect fit, Thicke said, especially since he had Estelle in mind when he started working on the Sex Therapy song. Plus, the pair have a history, having performed several shows together in the past. “She’s just an amazing talent,” he told MTV News on the set of the music video for “Rollacoasta.” “She’s a rapper. She’s a singer. She’s a writer. So it was really meant to be, and when I had this record, I was thinking to myself [that] it was perfect [for Estelle].” The song is all about the ups and downs of love, as the title suggests. And while the song’s subject matter is deep, Thicke wanted to keep the video’s vibe a little lighter. “The song is about the roller coaster you go through in a single relationship, but in this video, we’re just talking about the roller coaster of romance,” he explained. “We’re trying to throw a nice little house party that’s representative of the house parties that I have at my house, which is classy, sexy, wild, naughty all at the same time.” Thicke also recently released a provocative new video for “Sex Therapy.” Related Photos Robin Thicke Hosts Sex Therapy Album Release Party Related Artists Robin Thicke

Ludacris’ Conjure Mixtape A Grab Bag For Fans

‘I wanna give all my fans something for free,’ Chris says, in Mixtape Daily. By Shaheem Reid Ludacris Photo: MTV News This Week’s Main Pick Street King : Ludacris Holding It Down For : ATL Mixtape Album : Ludacris Presents Conjure: A Hustler’s Spirit Real Spit : The stylistic and lyrical monster Chris Bridges pours his rap magma on tracks like his official Battle of the Sexes blast-off banger “How Low” and Snoop Dogg’s instrumental for “I Wanna Rock.” “I did a verse to the beat,” Chris said in Los Angeles last week. “I love the beat so much. That’s one of the beats that comes on and you feel instant gratification. Somebody put my verse sandwiched in between the Jay and the Snoop verses [on the] G-Mix. It’s all good. I just want people to hear it. Whatever it is, y’all just need to listen to it.” While that freestyle didn’t make it to the Conjure mixtape, the iconic Southerner has an entire grab bag of flows for you. “Before the album, after the album, I’m just in a space where I’m inspired,” he says. “I’m inspired by beats of course, the ones that are on Battle of the Sexes. But even beyond that, I’m jumping on stuff. It’s my exercise. I wanna give all my fans something — [the ones] that have been supporting me for the last 10 years — something for free.” The mixtape’s title has a dual meaning. “It’s as simple as this. Spirit has a double meaning,” Luda explains. “When you talk about spirits, you talk about liquors, as in Conjure [cognac]. Then my spirit, I have a hustler’s spirit. People that listen to the mixtape have a hustler’s spirit. It’s a lot of people out there getting money. That’s basically what this thing is about. Even in the rap game, you have to sell records, we hustle. This is for the hustlers. Simple as that.” Chris’ Battle of the Sexes features appearances by Nicki Minaj, Lil’ Kim, Eve and others. It hits retailers on March 9. Joints To Check For
