Singer’s manager also discusses Bieber’s relationship with Selena Gomez, plays clip of new song in live chat. By James Dinh Justin Bieber Photo: Christopher Polk/ Getty Images After a whirlwind year of making friends in the music industry, Justin Bieber is intent on pulling out all the stops for his sophomore album. Not only has the 16-year-old singer recently collaborated with Rascal Flatts, he’s also talking about linking up with some hip-hop heavyweights including Kanye West , Drake and Chris Brown for future collaborations, according to manager Scooter Braun. Bieber’s manager took to a chat room Tuesday to speak to the pop star’s legion of Beliebers about his new music, speculation about a romance with Selena Gomez and the celebrity line-up for Bieber’s “Never Say Never” movie. “Yes, Justin is working on new music,” Braun teased after playing a clip of a new Bieber song, which he said may drop on Valentine’s Day. “He’s been talking to Drake about new music. [Bieber] and Kanye had a call today about a song they’re trying to work on together. Kanye wants to produce a bunch of new songs for the new album. He’s talked with Rascal Flatts. Him and Chris Brown have been sending stuff back and forth to each other.” And you couldn’t have a fan chat without fans inquiring about Bieber’s reported romance with Disney starlet Selena Gomez . Braun kept tight-lipped on the issue by not mentioning names, but insisted that the duo are no more than friends. “Everyone says I’m ignoring a certain issue that you all want to know about,” he admitted. “Everybody wants to know something. Here’s what I’m going to tell you. This kid travels a lot and I always told him, I was always like, ‘You shouldn’t be in a relationship unless you can give someone everything.’ I know that him and the person you’re asking about are really close friends and have been for awhile. As far as I know, that’s what they are.” As his manager and friend, Braun did confess that he’s told Justin to “stop answering the single question” as it’ll lead to a lack of a private life in the future. Whether or not the Biebs is in a relationship, the teen sensation is adamantly focused on his rising career. The pop star’s next big project is his Jon Chu 3-D documentary “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never,” which hits theaters on February 11. Braun revealed that the film will feature guest appearances by Sean Kingston, Usher, Jayden Smith, Boyz II Men, Miley Cyrus, Kobe Bryant, Drake, Ludacris, Johnny Depp, David Beckham, Will Smith and Snoop Dogg.

Look Under Swedish Supermodel Mini Anden’s Hood with The Mechanic Red Band Trailer

Posted on January 6, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The new Jason Stratham shoot-em-up action flick The Mechanic isn’t due out in theaters until the end of the month, but the red band trailer is available on the Internet and it’s already giving skin fans something to look forward to. One of the costars of the film, Swedish supermodel-turned-actress Mini Anden , has a T&A-baring sex scene with Stratham that is featured prominently in the trailer as a counterpoint to the threatening dialogue, exploding heads, and car crashes. A minute and 27 seconds into the trailer, we see one brown-nipped b-cup boob in a series of shots of a woman who looks like Mini banging Stratham and we get a look at her naked butt as she rides him cowgirl-style two minutes and 15 seconds in. Be warned that there are no scenes where her face and a naked body part are on the screen at the same time, so this may well be a body double standing in for Ms. Anden, who has yet to do a nude scene. Stay tuned to find out whether or not those are Mini’s mini-mams in The Mechanic. But either way, bring your tool(s).

Robert Pattinson To Star In David Cronenberg’s ‘Cosmopolis’

Posted on January 5, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Breaking Dawn’ heartthrob will play the lead in film adaptation of Don DeLillo’s futuristic novel. By Kara Warner Robert Pattinson Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage Robert Pattinson has signed on for his first big post-“Twilight” lead role. The actor is set to star in David Cronenberg’s “Cosmopolis.” According to Deadline , Pattinson will play Eric Packer in the futuristic film, an adaptation of the novel by Don DeLillo. In the film version, Packer is described as “a financial wunderkind,” who risks his entire fortune to bet against Japan’s yen on a tumultuous day. His chancy move puts him in mortal danger. The flick is said to be “a drama that is a study of capitalism in a slightly futuristic metropolis.” The novel is a modern reinterpretation of James Joyce’s classic “Ulysses,” set in New York City in the year 2000, around the burst of the dot-com bubble. Most of the action in the book takes place over the course of one day, in the limousine Packer takes to his various errands. Other stars rumored to have signed up for the project include “Inception” star Marion Cotillard and Paul Giamatti. Deadline reported that Pattinson wanted the role because he is a big fan of Cronenberg’s work and an admirer of DeLillo’s books. The “Twilight” superstar is still hard at work on the vampire franchise. He’ll appear again as Edward Cullen in the two-part finale “Breaking Dawn,” the first of which opens in November. But up next, he’ll hit the big screen in the Depression-era romance “Water for Elephants,” alongside Reese Witherspoon. Acknowledging what millions of Pattinson fans already know, Witherspoon recently gushed to MTV News that her co-star is “extraordinarily attractive.” What do you think of Pattinson’s newest role? Tell us in the comments! Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Lindsay Lohan Moves Into House Next To Ex Samantha Ronson

Posted on January 5, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lohan, learning that Ronson isn’t happy with her next door, is willing to move again, TMZ reports. By Jocelyn Vena Lindsay Lohan (file) Photo: David Aguilera/ BuzzFoto/ FilmMagic Lindsay Lohan may be out of rehab , but the actress is still making headlines. Just a couple days out of Betty Ford, Lohan has already secured herself a new place to live, but as it turns out, it’s right next to her ex, celebrity DJ Samantha Ronson. E! News reports that the Venice Beach home rents for $7,100 per month and has four bedrooms and views of both downtown Los Angeles and the nearby mountains. It also boasts a prime location blocks away from the beach. But TMZ reports that the starlet is willing to move again if it’ll help “keep the peace” with Ronson. The website reports that while Lohan’s camp knew that Ronson lived near Lohan’s new home, they didn’t realize how close until they saw Ronson at the house next door. As it turns out, when Lohan learned that Ronson wasn’t happy about the move, she said she would move again, even if she has to break her lease. In addition to securing herself a new home, a smiling Lohan was spotted hitting the Equinox gym in West Hollywood. “She looks fantastic,” a source tells E! News . “She looks very healthy, smiling and working out hard.” With her film career still up in the air, Lohan is focused on her fashion line . Last week it was revealed that she was looking to expand her 6126 brand. Lohan wants to add shoes to the leggings line that are “classic, glamorous, timeless with a sexy flair.” Although she may face more legal trouble thanks to an altercation she got into while at Betty Ford , she seemed positive about her future on Twitter . “Today is the first day of the rest of my life,” she wrote. ” ‘The future depends on what we do in the present.’ -Mahatma Gandhi… One step at a time.” Related Photos The Highs And Lows Of Lindsay Lohan Related Artists Lindsay Lohan Samantha Ronson

‘Breaking Dawn,’ ‘Super 8’ Among 2011’s Most Enigmatic Movies

Posted on January 5, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We dig for clues about a spate of eagerly anticipated flicks that filmmakers have shrouded in secrecy. By Eric Ditzian Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson on the set of “Breaking Dawn” Photo: Fame Pictures Sometimes at the movies, as in life and crappy relationships, there is no mystery. Just one look at the poster for the Ashton Kutcher/ Natalie Portman rom-com “No Strings Attached” tells us everything we need to know about that late-January release. Other 2011 films, however, are still shrink-wrapped in secrecy and stamped with a big fat “Huh?” The brains behind these movies have managed an impressive task in our blog post-a-minute times: keeping the public guessing. Check out five of this year’s most enigmatic projects. “Apollo 18,” March 4 Though this sci-fi found-footage flick will hit theaters just months from now, it wasn’t even on the public radar until last fall. We know the gist of the plot from the tagline (“There’s a reason we never went back to the moon”) and from established conspiracy theory lore: The fabled moon mission was not canceled but in fact was launched and encountered alien life on that big grey rock. And that’s about all we know. A viral site and social networking accounts haven’t added any pieces to the puzzle. Who’s starring, how the plot unfolds, what the tone will be — all these details remain unknown. And that’s exactly how the Weinstein Company wants it. “Super 8,” June 10 The plot of this J.J. Abrams-directed, Steven Spielberg-produced sci-fi film remains under lock and key. The story has vaguely been described as set in the 1970s and following “everyday people whose personal relationships are tested when they are thrown up against extraordinarily fantastic — and possibly otherworldly — events.” Helpful! A teaser trailer showcased a fiery train crash in the wake of the closing of Area 51, the purported locus of government-backed alien experimentation. Post-crash, some kind of ultra-strong creature tries to bust out of a cargo hold. These visual crumbs are all we have to go on for now. “Paranormal Activity 3,” October 21 Last October, we knew barely anything about the follow-up to out-of-nowhere horror hit “Paranormal Activity.” The sequel went on to gross $40 million in its opening weekend. Expect Paramount to follow that same marketing formula for the third go-’round. Franchise creator Oren Peli and “PA 2” director Tod Williams have danced around story lines in interviews with MTV News, but don’t expect any hard answers until screenings begin just days before the film opens to the public. “Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” November 18 What, you say, everyone on your block knows how the “Twilight” saga ends? Well, sure, we know the plot. But do we know where “Part 1” will end and “Part 2” pick up? Do we know which characters some of the fresh franchise faces will be playing ? Do we know how director Bill Condon will handle the famously bloody birth scene, and if it will even be in the first film? And heck, is there still a chance the movie could be released in 3-D? Questions, questions. “Project X,” November 23 Producer Todd Phillips has hired largely unknown, college-age actors for a comedy he described to us as a “fresh approach to a really f—ed up incident.” He’s also denied the film is a typical, studio-driven “party movie.” He hasn’t gone much further, though, in public discussions of “Project X.” Late last year, star Miles Teller dished us a bit of info when he spoke to MTV News about his role. “I play a kid who graduated from the high school the year before, kind of like the cool guy, cool dude on campus and brings a level of excitement and energy and other party favors to the party,” he said. Is Teller the guy who contributes to the “f—ed up incident,” in much the same way Zach Galifianakis catalyzed “The Hangover” with some secretly delivered roofies? Is it messed up to say we hope so? Which of these mostly under-wraps movies are you most looking forward to? Tell us in the comments! Related Photos On The Set Of ‘Breaking Dawn’ Meet The Cast Of ‘Breaking Dawn’

Kanye West’s Style Guru Talks ‘Art And Fashion’

Posted on January 4, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Cassius Marcellus Cornelius Clay tells MTV News about helping the MC develop his Rosewood movement. By Hillary Crosley Cassius Marcellus Cornelius Clay Photo: MTV News From Egyptian jewelry to “wearing women’s accessories,” as he mentioned himself during the New York premiere of his film “Runaway” in October, Kanye West is always pushing the fashion envelope. Most recently, the MC hired a 20-year-old Yale student named Cassius Marcellus Cornelius Clay to work behind the scenes of his Rosewood movement. Sporting an eye-catching bowtie made of feathers, Clay described to MTV News his duties for the MC: “We work on art and fashion, and I do a lot of research for style and design things for him.” Late last year, Clay’s working relationship with West surfaced on the Web, prompting many fans to ask, “When did Kanye meet this guy?” According to Clay, his tide of G.O.O.D. fortune began earlier in 2010. “We met this summer in New York, we became friends, and I really respect him a lot so I’m happy to be working with him,” he said. He shies away from being called “Kanye’s stylist,” but Internet buzz suggests Clay advised Kanye to apologize to Taylor Swift via Twitter in September for interrupting her 2009 Video Music Awards acceptance speech. Still, Clay’s main focus is fashion and all things beautiful. “We work on clothes together,” he explained. “I’m an art history major at Yale, so my focus is really art and the whole aesthetic culture, and that’s really what interests me. And I think that he appreciates it, and it’s nice to talk to him about it as well.” The style consultant went on to say that he’s taken a leave of absence from Yale to focus on his new job. What do you think of Kanye’s recent style? Sound off in the comments below! Related Photos Kanye West’s New Style Related Artists Kanye West

Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon And More 2011 Movie Pairs

Posted on January 4, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Brad Pitt & Jonah Hill and Johnny Depp & Penelope Cruz also will team up onscreen this year. By Eric Ditzian Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz in “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” Photo: Disney As frigid temperatures and frozen banks of filthy snow have taken hold outside the MTV News offices in Times Square, we’ve been warming ourselves with thoughts of what’s to come at the multiplex in 2011, where heavy doses of buttered popcorn and Sno-caps will keep us content all year round. In the months to come, we’ll take in a series of films featuring highly anticipated twosomes, some romantic and others platonic, some heavy on explosive laughs, and others featuring heavy explosions. Here are our picks for the big-screen pairings we’re most looking forward to checking out this year: Robert Pattinson & Reese Witherspoon in “Water for Elephants” Sure, RPattz will once again share the screen opposite Kristen Stewart in 2011, but he’s been mining the same limited “Twilight” material for a while now, and we’re keen to see how he manages when his character has more emotional motivation than simply protecting his beloved. While we enjoyed his turn in last year’s romantic drama “Remember Me,” a performance opposite the Oscar-winning Witherspoon in “Elephants” will mark Pattinson’s biggest opportunity yet to establish himself as a formidable talent. The first trailer mostly showcased RPattz in smoldering default mode . Can the 24-year-old Brit step it up? Can his chemistry with Witherspoon begin to compare, in fan’s eyes, with the Bella-Edward-Jacob love triangle? Answers will arrive with the film’s release in April. Brad Pitt & Jonah Hill in “Moneyball” At first glance, we’ll admit, this seems like an odd match. But consider: Hill is just beginning to scratch the surface of his acting range, as his deeply strange and strangely affecting turn in “Cyrus” made clear. Pitt, meanwhile, is a proven comedic talent. The two play fast-talking, ego-heavy execs for the Oakland A’s. With a dramatic, real-life story line about the hard-scrabble, small-market ball club and a script that got a makeover from dialogue whiz Aaron Sorkin, “Moneyball” has the perfect framework for a memorable dynamic between Pitt and Hill. Shia LaBeouf & Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” One can hardly call what LaBeouf and Megan Fox shared onscreen in two “Transformers” flicks “magical,” so LaBeouf and Huntington-Whiteley’s pairing in “Dark of the Moon” won’t be a case of recapturing cinematic gold. Yet the comparisons will be inevitable, even if Michael Bay’s directing for his leading “Transformers” ladies seems to begin and end with, “Look hot!” We look forward to seeing how LaBeouf and Huntington-Whiteley play off each other, one a savvy vet of Spielberg and Stone movies, the other a Victoria’s Secret model making her big-screen debut. Johnny Depp & Penelope Cruz in “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” Jack Sparrow’s adventures on the high seas have usually taken precedence over his adventures in the bedroom. “On Stranger Tides” could well change all that. With Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley out of the picture, the head-butting between Depp’s Captain Jack and Cruz’s swashbuckling beauty will take center stage. Are we ready to see the softer side of the dreadlocked pirate? Simon Pegg & Nick Frost in “Paul” Has it really been almost four years since these comedic pals were onscreen together in “Hot Fuzz”? Any time the British funnymen get together, we’ll be first in line for a ticket. This year will bring them back for a third cinematic turn, following “Fuzz” and 2004’s “Shaun of the Dead.” “Paul” is a sci-fi comedy in which Pegg and Frost play conspiracy-minded friends on a road trip to a purported alien-landing sight, where — much to their surprise — they actually discover an alien. Frost and Pegg excel when challenging themselves with such high-concept comedic obstacles, and if the film’s trailers are any indication, they’ve got another winner on their hands. Daniel Craig & Rooney Mara in “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” The role of troubled hacker Lisbeth Salander was one of the most coveted in Hollywood last year until Mara, a relative unknown, won the part. She’ll star opposite Craig, who plays journalist (and Salander’s love interest) Mikael Blomkvist. The “Tattoo” stars have a lot to live up to: The book on which the film is based was a best-seller across the globe, and the Swedish adaptation has garnered plaudits from critics and audiences alike. But we’ve got high hopes: David Fincher is in the director’s chair, and the story line sizzles with emotional stakes and high-tension plot twists. Which onscreen pairing are you most looking forward to in 2011? Tell us your pick in the comments below!

9 Lessons Learned From Lifetime’s The Craigslist Killer

Posted on January 4, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The Lifetime Network — otherwise known as the guilty pleasure center of your cable package — premiered The Craigslist Killer on Monday, its highly-publicized docudrama about the good-looking Boston medical student convicted of murdering masseuses he found on the Internet. Like any good Lifetime film, Killer included a romance, the poorly-acted betrayal of a pretty blond heroine who could not pick up a clue with a forklift, and the subtext that all men — especially the good-looking ones you don’t suspect — are evil. Ahead, I sift through the discarded Kleenex and chocolate wrappers to uncover nine lessons learned from the film.
