‘We worked our butts off to create this record,’ Chester Bennington tells MTV News of fast-evolving follow-up to A Thousand Suns. By James Montgomery, with reporting by James Lacsina Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington Photo: MTV News Last year, when Linkin Park told MTV News they were already beginning work on the follow-up to A Thousand Suns, it was noteworthy for several reasons — chief among them being that this is a band that likes to take their time with things. But it looks like all that is changing. On Tuesday, MTV News was on the set of the video for “Burn It Down,” the first single from their (still-untitled) new album. So, yes, this is really happening, and yes, it’s happening soon, as LP’s Chester Bennington explained. “Well, we promised our fans that we’d put out records faster, and that’s what we’re doing. We figured out a way to condense our cycle, so to speak, by … continuing to write, trying to keep the creative ball rolling as often as possible,” he said. “We wrote some of the stuff on the road during the last tour, and instead of … touring for two years, we toured for about a year, we came home, jumped right back into the studio and just worked our butts off to create this record. “And this album is a really great representation of where we’re at right now as a band,” Bennington continued. “We’re kind of really comfortable with our early n

‘Everything that is near and dear to fans will still be there,’ director Jonathan Liebesman tells MTV News after producer catches flak for reboot. By Kara Warner Michael Bay Photo: Dr. Billy Ingram/WireImage Who could have predicted that a Michael Bay-produced re-imagining of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” would cause such a stir? While fans were largely onboard for a reboot, the tide turned when Bay recently announced that he would give our half-shell heroes an alien origin story. Fan reaction to the news has been negative, to say the least. So much so that Bay has already twice taken to his Shoot for the Edit message board to tell fans that the reboot will not disappoint. On Tuesday (March 27), Bay hit the boards again, promising that the new movie will include “everything you remember” from the original; he also explained why the film’s name is “Ninja Turtles,” not “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” “Paramount marketing changed the name. They made the title simple,” he wrote. “The characters you all remember are exactly the same, and yes they still act like teenagers,” he added. “Everything you remember, why you liked the characters, is in the movie. This script is being developed by two very smart writers, with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles. They care VERY MUCH about making this film for the fans. Everyone on this team cares about the fans. Just give them a chance. Jonathan [Liebesman], the director, is a major fan of the whole franchise. HE’S NOT GOING TO LET YOU DOWN.” Speaking of Liebesman, MTV News caught up with the director as he promoted his latest, “Wrath of the Titans,” and he seemed to share Bay’s sentiment, saying the new version will preserve “the essence” of the original. “What’s important to me are the characters that Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird created, the essence is preserved, and we’re true to that,” Liebesman said. “And everything that is near and dear to fans will still be there, every new thing we think of is tied into the mythology. We’re not going to betray anything that has been there before — I’m a fan myself.” “Ninja Turtles” is due in theaters Christmas 2013.

On February 28 th  2011 at 6.52pm,  a dream I never taught would happen came true. My story may be different from the others because mostly they write about how they met Justin, I haven’t yet but this is my story! My name is Diana, I’m 15 from Sweden and on February 28th my dream came true. Justin sent me a DM which means a lot to me. He is my biggest idol. He wrote to me with his own hands! I was 99.9% sure that I was dreaming. I hope he knows how that little DM means everything to me. Whenever I’m sad, I read it and it puts me a smile on my face. Words just can’t explain it because I never taught that would happen, especially to someone like me. So what I’m trying to say is, dreams really do come true! Since Justin DM’ed, I believe in hopes. Everything comes in their own pace, whenever you expect it or not. Remember that there is always a chance, no matter what! Learn it from the best! -@DABieberMars See original here: On February 28th 2011 at 6.52pm,  a dream I never taught would…
