Video features Bieber performing song with country band Rascal Flatts. By Jocelyn Vena Justin Bieber Photo: Neil Mockford/ Getty Images The weekend that Justin Bieber cut his hair , he also shot the music video for his “That Should Be Me” remix, featuring country band Rascal Flatts. This weekend, the full music video premiered, and it shows off that very famous cut. The video is a meta-statement on making videos. The guys of Rascal Flatts pull up to the studio while Bieber sits in a room practicing the track. Bieber and the band sit and rehearse the song before they are brought to the room to shoot the lo-fi performance video. We see the camera and lights filming the guys, who stand in front of a white backdrop performing the song. Bieber is occasionally seen in the sparse room alone singing the track, dressed in black. Shots of the finished performance are edited with those of Bieber and the band rehearsing the track, off his Never Say Never – The Remixes album, which was released last month. The video ends with Bieber walking off the set. “They flipped out,” lead singer Gary LeVox said of bringing his daughters to the set the day of the shoot with the teen star. “Brittany ended up singing one of his songs to him. He was hugging them and was so sweet to them. I’ve even got a low-grade Bieber fever. I think I’m in the running for dad of the year.” Bieber also tweeted about the video’s runaway success on Sunday, writing , “And just saw… #ThatShouldBeMe vid with @rascalflatts is now #1 on ITUNES!! Thank u all so much. We are very proud of that song. #MuchLove.” Related Photos Justin Bieber’s Famous Former Hair Related Artists Justin Bieber
Red Letter Media’s Mike Stoklasa finishes evisceration of ‘Star Wars,’ creates ‘Half in the Bag’ to skewer movies on more regular basis. By Shawn Adler Mike Stoklassa Photo: Logan Jacobs His video eviscerations of the “Star Wars” prequels were among last year’s most anticipated, widely viewed online videos, garnering millions of views, inspiring new discussions of copyright in the digital age , and making celebrity fans ranging from Simon Pegg to Roger Ebert. But now that Mike Stoklasa, aka Mr. Plinkett, has finished carving up George Lucas — his “Revenge of Nadine: Episode III Review Epilogue” dropped Thursday (March 10) — the Milwaukee based writer/director turned millennial critic is breaking out the entire cutlery set for his next target. And this time, nobody will be safe, Stoklasa laughed in an interview with MTV News. Titled “Half in the Bag,” Stoklasa and friend Jay Bauman have launched a new online review program which will skewer current Hollywood movies in a more traditional review format, a “mix between ‘Pee-Wee’s Playhouse’ and ‘At the Movies,'” Stoklasa revealed in an email conversation. Their first effort, which imagines the pair as VCR repairmen sent to Mr. Plinkett’s house, premiered late Friday evening (March 11). The show is an attempt to cross something like “Siskel and Ebert” with a 80s era sitcom, Stoklasa explained, with the two hosts sitting across from each other while discussing new releases. For Stoklasa, it means that for the first time he’ll be lobbing critical bombs in front of the camera, rather than from behind, a switch he said he made, not without some trepidation, to avoid “the same old thing.” “I was a bit concerned with revealing the ‘man behind the curtain,’, but it’s just not in my nature to go on doing the same thing. If I did that people would say ‘The Plinkett reviews are getting old and worn out,'” he wrote. “We don’t want things to stay the same.” An expansion of and not a replacement for the trademark video stylings of Mr. Plinkett, the program is also an attempt to “make new material for people on a regular basis” while avoiding the labor intensive process inherent in the earlier reviews, Stoklasa wrote. “I like talking about movies and analyzing them, but sometimes it’s fun to deviate into other things and the traditional Mr. Plinkett reviews just take a really long time to make,” he wrote. “I will still continue to make the Mr. Plinkett reviews where I do the voice and everything, but we’re going to do this too.” But not all will be different, Stoklasa cautioned. Fans of his earlier reviews will see a familiar through-line, he said, as the program will contain cutaways, random sound effects, and even skits, such as a portion of the first review where George Lucas comes to destroy their set. Of those familiar tropes, perhaps the most familiar will be Plinkett himself, who will appear to audiences in front of the camera played by Rich Evans. “We toyed with the idea of never showing his face and me dubbing over all of his lines, but it would have been very time consuming to light that for each shot and to have to do all the ADR,” Stoklasa wrote. “Plus, I think Rich is funny in the part, he adds a lot to the role and makes it his own. Rich is really great with awkward physical comedy and comes up with a lot of good ideas on set. Hopefully people will appreciate that there is ‘Plinkett A’ and ‘Plinkett B’ and to understand that Plinkett A is not going away.” Since the show takes place in the fictional construct of Mr. Plinkett’s living room, where the pair are on a never ending quest to fix an old VCR, Stoklasa believes there’s room to criticize not just new movies, but any film that Plinkett might have in his expansive video catalogue, meaning that while the first episode centered on new films like “Drive Angry” and “The Adjustment Bureau,” older films are not off-limits. “The format is open to us doing anything,” he said. “We’ll probably wind up with more current stuff for the primary reviews, but we’ll do old B-movies and stuff like that too. We love terrible old B-Movies quite a bit and I have a sick fascination with movies that are so bad they’re funny.” For now, “the hope is to do it weekly,” Stoklasa wrote. The next episode of “Half in the Bag” premiers early next week.
Pregnant singer and her baby doing ‘fine,’ star tweets after collision. By Shawn Adler Jewel and Ty Murray Photo: Ethan Miller/ Getty Images Multi-platinum and Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Jewel was involved in a two car collision at approximately 11 AM CT Friday morning (March 11) in Stephenville, Texas, when a fire truck smashed into the passenger side of her vehicle, according to TMZ . The “Foolish Games” chanteuse, who two months ago revealed she was pregnant with her first child, were immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where tests revealed both mother and baby were doing fine. “Hey everyone-just got released from the ER & my Dr’s office- everything is fine-me & the baby r ok- thanx 4 all your thoughts & prayers,” Jewel wrote on her official Twitter account Friday evening. “Dr said no working out- so I’m going to take it easy this weekend. Just a little sore and banged up- but feeling so blessed this morning,” she tweeted as follow-up early morning Saturday (March 12). Pictures of the accident show a severely crumpled and nearly destroyed Cadillac SRX, the nose of the fire truck still wedged into the silver car’s frame. The singer credits the car with the fact that she survived. “1 thing I do know is my car saved my & baby’s life-definitely going 2 get another Cadillac SRX!” she tweeted. “It absorbed all the damage & kept me safe!” Jewel is in the third trimester of her pregnancy, the first child for both the 36-year-old and her rodeo star husband Ty Murray, who married in 2008. “I have always been a workaholic, so I had to learn how to slow down and take care of myself in a different way,” she said in a January interview about the prospect of being a mom. “I’m trying to be in the moment and really enjoy my pregnancy. I feel really lucky.” Jewel is reportedly working on a new collection of children’s tunes, a follow-up of sorts to her 2009 LP Lullaby . Related Artists Jewel
Actor set to appear at L.A. hearing on Friday to face misdemeanor count stemming from incident with ex Oksana Grigorieva. By Jayson Rodriguez Mel Gibson arrives at the Los Angeles Courthouse Airport branch on Friday Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images Mel Gibson was charged with one misdemeanor count of spousal battery on Friday (March 11), mere hours before the troubled actor is scheduled to appear in Los Angeles Superior Court for a hearing regarding his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva. Last July, police opened up an investigation into an incident involving the actor and his ex after they conducted an interview with Grigorieva . The pair dated after Gibson divorced his wife of 26 years — he was separated from his wife for three years before she finally petitioned for the dissolution of their marriage — and Grigorieva gave birth to the couple’s daughter. They later split, however, and a nasty custody case ensued with each side tossing unflattering allegations against the other. Grigorieva painted Gibson as an out-of-control and abusive partner; a leaked voicemail message Gibson left on Grigorieva’s phone contained racially charged language and threats, including one in which the “Lethal Weapon” star threatened to burn his former lover’s house down. Gibson, meanwhile, alleged Grigorieva — a Russian recording artist who was at one time signed to the actor’s music label — was attempting to extort the actor after their affair ended. In the domestic abuse case against Gibson, Grigorieva alleges that he attacked her and knocked two of her teeth out during a physical altercation. She also claims Gibson threatened her at his Malibu estate with a handgun. Lawyers for Gibson have disputed all of the claims and argued that the audio samplings provided by Grigorieva have been edited and tampered with.
Actor must complete 16 hours of community service and enroll in a 12-month domestic-violence program. By Jayson Rodriguez Mel Gibson arrives at the Los Angeles Courthouse Airport branch on Friday Photo: Frederick M. Brown/ Getty Images Mel Gibson and his legal team reached a deal with prosecutors Friday (March 11) that will see the actor avoid jail time after being charged with misdemeanor battery earlier in the day. The actor appeared before a Los Angles judge and pleaded no contest to the charges. Under the terms of his agreement, Gibson must complete 16 hours of community service, enroll in a 12-month domestic-violence program and pay an assortment of court fees and fines. Gibson also must obey a strict order to not annoy, harass or threaten anyone with violence while serving out his various punishments. The actor has already begun reporting to a domestic-violence counselor and was ordered to submit a progress report during a status hearing June 9. By that date, the actor is also required to compete his community service, which he’s scheduled to perform at the Mending Kids International facility. Gibson’s deadline to complete his year of counseling is March 30, 2012. The actor has 36 hours to turn himself in for booking. The deal concludes an ugly split between Gibson and ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his young daughter. The two dated briefly after Gibson and his wife of 26 years, Robyn, separated. Gibson and Grigorieva were ensnarled in a bitter custody dispute that was compounded by lawsuits the two filed against each other. Gibson accused Grigorieva of extortion and she alleged Gibson physically assaulted her.

Gaga dissolved relationship with retail giant over reported political contributions made to antigay gubernatorial candidate. By Jocelyn Vena Lady Gaga Photo: Tom Briglia/ WireImage Retail giant Target has issued a statement in reaction to the news that Lady Gaga has decided not to release an exclusive deluxe edition of Born This Way, due May 23, through the store as originally planned. In a statement released to MTV News, Target explained that Gaga’s reservations about working with the company came as a shock. Gaga had reportedly dissolved her relationship with the chain megastore after LGBT groups began investigating certain donations the store made, including a 2010 donation of corporate funds to MN Forward, a political action committee that supported antigay candidate Tom Emmer in his 2010 run for governor of Minnesota. “We were very surprised and disappointed by the statements made by Lady Gaga’s organization related to her partnership with Target,” the company wrote. “Target remains committed to the LGBT community as demonstrated by our contributions to various LGBT organizations, our recently established Policy Committee to review our political giving and our respectful, inclusive workplace environment.” Gaga, an outspoken gay activist, had previously addressed concerns about Target’s political leanings but hoped that they would be able to work to expand their LGBT horizons with her onboard. “That discussion was one of the most intense conversations I’ve ever had in a business meeting,” Gaga said. “Part of my deal with Target is that they have to start affiliating themselves with LGBT charity groups and begin to reform and make amends for the mistakes they’ve made in the past. … Our relationship is hinged upon their reform in the company to support the gay community and to redeem the mistakes they’ve made supporting those [antigay] groups.” Related Videos Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ Video Premieres Related Photos Lady Gaga’s Runway Debut At Mugler Fashion Show Related Artists Lady Gaga
Spears wants one more tryst with her ex on the Femme Fatale song. By Jocelyn Vena Britney Spears Photo: Ethan Miller/Getty Images Last month, Britney Spears teased a snippet of her Femme Fatale track “Inside Out.” Now, a bit more of the sexy track, including some of the song’s reported lyrics, has hit the Net. In the new 30-second teaser for the song, posted on MuuMuse.com , fans are given a taste of not only part of the chorus, but also part of one of the song’s bridges, which features a booming mid-tempo beat. Spears, in her signature style, sings, “You touch me and it’s breaking me down/ and me down, and me down, and me down/ I’m telling you, let’s just give it up and get down/ and get down, and get down …” On the breakup track’s chorus, she sings, “So come on/ Won’t you give me something to remember?/ Baby shut your mouth and turn me inside out/ Even though we couldn’t last forever, baby.” Other lyrics seem like a switched-up version of those previously released. Neither set of lyrics has been confirmed as the album version. “Said you’re gonna be here in a minute/ Sitting in the mirror getting pretty/ Gotta look my best if we’re gonna break up/ Gotta look my best if we’re gonna break up,” the reported lyrics read. The lyrics go on, “I can hear you knocking at the front door/ And I know exactly what you came for/ Try to say goodbye but it’s hot and heavy.” The previously reported lyrics were: “Said you’re gonna be here in two minutes/ Sitting in the mirror getting ready/ Gotta look my best if I wanna break up/ Gotta look my best if I wanna break up/ I can hear you knocking at the back door/ And I know exactly what you’re here for/ Trying to say goodbye but I’m not that ready.” Related Videos MTV First: Britney Spears’ ‘Hold It Against Me’ Premiere Related Photos Britney Spears’ ‘Hold It Against Me’ Pop-Culture References Related Artists Britney Spears
Justin Bieber misses his girlfriend, Selena Gomez, the pop star tweeted Sunday. Call it a public display of affection for the digital age. Gomez, the Disney darling who stepped out with the Biebs recently at the Vanity Fair Oscar party, is in Hidalgo, Texas, while Bieber is on tour in Europe. “I miss all of y’all,” she tweeted back. So, who are these “y’all”? Well, Bieber didn’t single out Gomez in his tweets. He sent “I miss you” messages to four other friends, Ryan Butler, Shaz Comers, Scooter Braun and Wilson Warren. Still feeling special there, Selena? He then went tweet-happy and posted several lines from rapper Drake’s music. The hashtag “#drakelines” began trending soon after, proving once again that Justin Bieber and his fans have a terrifying amount of influence on Twitter. Usher’s Canadian-bred mentee, who made headlines for cutting his signature hair and selling the locks on EBay for charity, also decided to make another ‘do-related decision. “Im not shaving for a month so you all can see my mustache… im pumped,” he wrote on the micro-blogging site. So we have to ask: How much do teen-idol facial-hair clippings go for on EBay these days?
