Ke$ha To Appear On Nick’s ‘Victorious’

Posted on April 1, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘It was really fun to film,’ Victoria Justice says of the ‘Blow’ singer’s cameo. Ke$ha Photo: Fotonoticias/ Getty Images Ke$ha will make an appearance on the hit Nickelodeon series “Victorious.” And while the role won’t have the pop singer stretching her acting muscle too much — she’ll be playing herself — someone else in the Sebert (that’s her real last name) clan also is getting in on the action. Ke$ha will be joined on the episode of the sitcom by her little brother, Louie. The plot will revolve around Tori — played by the show’s star, Victoria Justice — and her pals trying to win a contest to go to a Ke$ha concert. The gang must piece together golden tickets in order to win their chance to see the “Blow” singer in a private gig. It seems that 11-year-old Louie provides the winning piece so that they can watch the glittered one perform the aforementioned track. “It’s a private concert, and yeah, I will say that the costumes are awesome and there’s definitely lots of glitter,” Justice told EW.com, which first reported on the episode. “It was really fun to film. It’s the first time on my show that we’ve had a successful radio artist perform on the show. Ke$ha’s kind of edgier, and I think that it’s cool to bring that element to the show.” “Victorious” made its big debut last spring. When MTV News caught up with Justice at that time, the teen actress admitted that the show’s fun vibe made it possible for anything to happen. “I play a girl named Tori Vega and she’s kind of suddenly accepted to this performance arts high school, and from there it’s her dealing with all these crazy characters that go there and normal teen problems, like trying to fit in and cute boys,” Justice explained. “I also get to perform original music and sing and dance. [That] makes it a lot of fun.” Are you excited to see Ke$ha and her little brother on “Victorious”? Tell us in the comments. Related Artists Ke$ha

Will Ferrell, Jon Stewart Crack Jokes At The Comedy Awards

Posted on March 28, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘The Golden Globes celebrate comedies every year — comedies like ‘Burlesque’ and ‘The Tourist,’ ‘ Andy Samberg points out to MTV News. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Will Ferrell arrives at the Comedy Awards on Sunday Photo: Getty Images If there were an awards show to celebrate the very best in comedy, you’d probably want Will Ferrell and Adam McKay there on the red carpet riffing about how “The Other Guys” was snubbed at the Oscars and now finally their genius is being recognized. “I was with Will during the Academy Awards, and he slowly got drunker and said, ‘What about my kind?’ ” you’d want McKay to say. “I kept saying, ‘It has to be nominated! It has to be on there!’ ” Ferrell would answer. “And I said, ‘Will, we know ahead of time if it’s going to be nominated,” McKay would respond. And Ferrell would shoot back, “‘No, tonight’s going to special! They’re going to announce a secret nomination.’ ” Here’s the funny thing: There is such an awards show — Comedy Central held the first annual Comedy Awards on Saturday night — and that exchange is exactly how Ferrell and McKay began a red-carpet chat with MTV News. And as other celebs joined them on the carpet — Jon Stewart, Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Andy Samberg, Tracy Morgan — they picked up on Ferrell and McKay’s theme: Does comedy need an awards show, or is laughter all the reward comedians need? “It’s all about winning things!” Andy Richter declared. “That’s the reason we all got into this. It’s all about trinkets and trophies.” Not so, said Stewart. “I’m not sure anything needs acknowledgement anymore, especially in the show-business arena,” the “Daily Show” host told us. “But here’s what I think it is: These carpets get no other use, and it would be wasteful not to use them. If you think about it that way, none of this is necessary.” Samberg, meanwhile, deadpanned that before the Comedy Awards, there was one show in particular around to reward the funniest people of the year. “The Golden Globes celebrate comedies every year — comedies like ‘Burlesque’ and ‘The Tourist,’ ” he said. “And ‘Chicago’ — another hilarious comedy. So no, we don’t need this night.”

DJ Megatron Killed In Staten Island Shooting

Posted on March 28, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Radio and TV personality was killed early Sunday morning at age 32. By James Montgomery DJ Megatron Photo: Scott Wintrow/ Getty Images DJ Megatron, the radio personality, hip-hop promoter and television host, was shot and killed early Sunday morning near his home in Staten Island, according to The New York Times. He was 32. Born Corey McGriff, Megatron first made his name in Staten Island hip-hop circles as a promoter of local artists, something he continued during his stint as a DJ on famed New York radio station Hot 97, where he had risen from an intern to an on-air sidekick of popular personality Fatman Scoop. He had also worked at stations in Boston and Philadelphia. In recent months, Megatron had started to gain national exposure thanks to his appearances on BET’s “106 & Park,” where he’d hype up the in-studio audience during commercial breaks and conduct frank — and hilarious — man-on-the-street interviews. “He will truly be missed,” BET said in a statement extending condolences to his family. In recent weeks, he had become engaged to Shyleen Robinson, with whom he had a 10-month-old-son. Megatron had also appeared in movies, including 2005’s “State Property 2,” starring Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Damon Dash and rappers Beanie Sigel and N.O.R.E. According to his manager , Megatron was shot and killed while heading to a store near his home in Staten Island at around 2 a.m. on Sunday. No arrests have been made in the shooting. As news of his death began to spread, some of Megatron’s contemporaries took to Twitter to express their sadness. In one tweet , Nicki Minaj wrote “Rest In Peace DJ Megatron. My thoughts are with your family and friends at Hot 97.”

The event will precede the ‘Regulate’ singer’s funeral service, which is expected to be held on Saturday. By Jayson Rodriguez Nate Dogg Photo: Todd Williamson/ Getty Images Nate Dogg is set to be celebrated and honored on Friday (March 25) in his hometown of Long Beach, California. The hip-hop singer unexpectedly passed away earlier this month after suffering multiple health setbacks in the past several years stemming from separate strokes. His life will be recognized at a public viewing to be held at the Queen Mary hotel. His family and close friends, in addition to fans, are expected to attend the event, which is taking place a day before the singer’s funeral is expected to be held. Last week, Warren G., who teamed with Nate Dogg for the pair’s breakout hit, “Regulate,” spoke about his friend’s death to MTV News while attending a tribute show at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. “I was out on the Sweat Tour with Snoop, and we had got the word from his family on what was going on, and it was just a crushing blow for us,” he said. “Just, from going to see him and lifting his spirits up when he was in therapy, and stuff like that, it’s just crazy for that to happen. And I still don’t believe it, you know what I’m saying?” Warren added, “It kind of hurts me when I look at this shirt [the SXSW tribute show’s organizers sold Nate Dogg T-shirts, with proceeds going to the late singer’s family], it’s like, ‘Damn, that’s my homeboy on this shirt.’ And I’m hurting, and you know, a lot of people are showing tons of support for his family, for his homeboys, and we really and truly appreciate that. It’s real love.” Stick with MTV News throughout the weekend for coverage of Nate Dogg’s memorial services.

Lil Wayne’s ‘If I Die Today,’ Featuring Rick Ross, Hits The Web

Posted on March 23, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Song is the latest from Tha Carter IV, due May 16. By Jayson Rodriguez Lil Wayne Photo: Taylor Hill/ Getty Images Lil Wayne isn’t a biter; he’s just an admirer. The New Orleans rhyme spitter’s second single from his forthcoming Tha Carter IV, “If I Die Today,” arrived online Wednesday (March 23), and the track is a take on Rick Ross’ “I’m Not a Star” from the Miami rapper’s Teflon Don album. Weezy’s version features a new verse from Ross and the same production by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League (Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, T.I.). According to Young Money President Mack Maine, the song was one of the first numbers Wayne heard when he was released from prison in November. The Cash Money MC liked Ross’s “I’m Not A Star” so much he decided to record his own version. “When I was in jail, she let me call her collect/ But if she get greedy, I’mma starve her to death,” Wayne raps. ” … You f— with me wrong, I knock your head off your neck/ The flight too long I got a bed on the jet/ The guns are drawn, and I ain’t talking about a sketch/ I pay these n—as with a reality check.” Last week, during the kickoff of his I Am Still Music Tour in Providence, Rhode Island , Wayne revealed the release date for his highly anticipated project . “May 16, believe that,” Wayne told MTV News. “It can come out tomorrow ’cause I’m so finished. … Tha Carter IV will be dropping May 16. If you’re not doing anything, do me.” What do you think of Weezy’s latest? Share your reviews in the comments! Related Artists Lil Wayne Rick Ross (Hip-Hop)

Ja Rule Pleads Guilty To Tax Evasion

Posted on March 23, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Rapper, who is headed to jail on a weapons charge, admitted that he failed to pay taxes on $4 million in income. By Gil Kaufman Ja Rule Photo: Mark Mainz/Getty Images Queens rapper Ja Rule pleaded guilty to tax evasion in federal court in New Jersey on Tuesday, admitting that he had failed to pay taxes on more than $4 million in income. According to the Associated Press , the platinum-selling MC (born Jeffrey Atkins) earned the money between 2004 and 2006 while he lived in an upscale northern New Jersey enclave. The plea deal included an agreement by prosecutors to dismiss two counts of unpaid taxes on income earned in 2007 and 2008. Rule, 35, will be sentenced on the three remaining tax evasion charges in June and faces up to one year in prison and $100,000 in fines on each count. Ja Rule pleaded guilty to attempted gun possession in December, stemming from a July 2007 arrest, but his prison sentencing was delayed earlier this month so he could get his finances in order. Lil Wayne, who Ja Rule performed with on that July night at the Cash Money star’s Beacon Theater show, was arrested on the same night and eventually served eight months in prison for the same offense. Rule is now slated to be sentenced on June 8 and has agreed to a two-year prison term in that case. At the time of the sentencing postponement, Rule’s lawyer said the delay would allow her client to resolve his tax issue and maybe work on his next musical project as well. “We want to finish the album, and there’s also a tax issue,” lawyer Stacey Richman said. “Somebody, an accountant, had filed an incorrect form, and this is to correct what was done in the past.” Related Artists Ja Rule
