By Mawuse Ziegbe, with reporting by Akshay Bhansali Jay Sean Photo: MTV News For Jay Sean, his new single, “2012 (It Ain’t the End)” is not about enjoying life two years from now but rather living it up in 2010.

Dan Rather Has Cameo in Forthcoming Alien Invasion Flick ‘Skyline’

It may well be Dan Rather’s finest hour. Make that his finest five seconds. The disgraced former “Evening News” anchor apparently has a brief cameo in “Skyline,” an alien invasion flick landing in theaters on November 12.  Rather isn’t the only liberal journalist featured in the film. Self-described socialist and sometime “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” guest host Lawrence O’Donnell is also featured in the movie trailer, which we’ve included below the page break (h/t Jim Geraghty ):

First Clip from Burlesque Features Less Camp, More Singing

After the initial trailer for Burlesque threw glitter up all over the Internet last week, it’s somewhat surprising to see that the first clip from the film is so benign in nature. The musical’s biggest selling points — Cher and Stanley Tucci’s eyeglasses — are nowhere to be found here, replaced instead by Christina Aguilera’s booming vocals on “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” and a dance routine that feels like Flashdance minus the water. Click ahead to watch, but be prepared to tap your foot in unison.

Kanye West to Perform at MTV VMAs

Kanye West will be returning to the scene of the crime, or at least the scene of one of the biggest jackass moves in award show history. Imma let you finish! A year after infamously interrupting Taylor Swift’s speech on stage, Kanye West is set to return to the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, September 12. The Grammy-winning rapper’s fifth studio album is expected to drop this fall. He debuted a video “painting” for the first single, ” Power ,” on MTV last week. A follow-up single is also expected to be released by West in the next couple of weeks, and that’s not nearly all from the talented, egomaniac artist. Kanye Tweeted yesterday: “More music … I’m bout to drop a bunch of sh!t this yea … surprise performances … guest verses … living in the studio.” You’ve been warned, award winners.

Montana Fishburne Has a "Passion" For Porn

Laurence Fishburne’s daughter Montana didn’t make her porn debut on a whim or out of desperation. It was something she had dreamed about for awhile. She’s 19, BTW. “I had a passion inside me to do porn,” she tells Us Weekly . “I didn’t really want to tell too many people about it because I was afraid of their reactions when I was younger.” “I started thinking about it… when I was 16.” So driven was she that she made the Montana Fishburne sex tape now being sold by Vivid and approached the porn company with the footage herself. “I knew they released Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson [sex tapes],” she says of Vivid. “They are a really respected company, and I wanted to go with the best. [All those stars] motivated me in a different way.” Montana and now-estranged father Laurence Fishburne . The adult film star also known as Chippy D says she was never interested in following in her father’s footsteps: “I wasn’t really into mainstream acting.” “People would ask, ‘Do you want to get into acting? Do you want to be an actress?’ I would say, straight up, ‘No.’ I knew I wanted to do adult [films].” After filming herself having sex after she turned 18, “I watched it, I liked it,” she says. “I was like, ‘Wow, now I really want to do it,’ after seeing myself… [I] just took it from there. I became really passionate after my first at-home video.” Montana says she “absolutely didn’t make this movie to hurt my parents or bring shame to my family name” and that “this was something that I wanted to do and I think that, in time, my father will support me in my decision.” She adds that she “hasn’t really talked about” the film with Laurence and that her fitness trainer mom Hajna Moss-Fishburne is all good with it . “This isn’t a reaction to anything happening with us. I see how it comes across as that. Everyone’s like, ‘That’s crazy, why would she want to do that?’ … I just hope people like the video. I hope it does well, and they want to see more!” They may get the chance. There’s a second one out there.

5 Other Films Whose Viral Marketing Should Hijack the News

Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman took the promotional TV news segment to the next level this week, filling in a whole weathercast in Atlanta for the sake of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World . It was entertaining (watch out for the bus!), but not necessarily the best tie-in between the film’s audience and the information at hand. Thus the crack news producers at Movieline HQ have had a look at the late-summer/early-fall movie slate and worked out a whole newscast just for the studios. Suggestions (and the original video) are after the jump.

Awesome Bookmaker Says Natalie Portman is Odds-On Favorite for Dragon Tattoo

You know that Sony and David Fincher eventually will need to cast a female lead for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo , and so, as with anything, an enterprising bookie with a vague knowledge of trade rumors and actresses known to wear short hair has made a list of favorites worth betting on as Lisbeth Salander D-day approaches. Bring your rabbit’s foot (and a robust grain of salt) and meet me after the jump.

New Romantics Trailer Remembers to Showcase Katies Holmes

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark might have been scared of featuring Katie Holmes in its marketing materials, but The Romantics certainly isn’t — Mrs. Tom Cruise appears in almost every shot of the newly released trailer. Though since the film looks like a warmed-over version of Rachel Getting Married recast with television actors, perhaps Holmes should be the one worrying.
