Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg Reteam For ‘That Good’

‘Snoop and Wiz, the new Cheech and Chong,’ Dogg raps on track from their upcoming movie. By Jayson Rodriguez Snoop Dogg Photo: Donna Ward/Getty Images Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa’s future together is looking pretty cloudy. And that’s a compliment. The two lanky lyricists are set to star in an untitled movie together and on Tuesday night, the pair released the first single from the forthcoming soundtrack, “That Good.” “Never treat you wrong, to each his own,” Snoop raps on the breezy number. “Snoop and Wiz, the new Cheech and Chong/ We up in smoke, making street schemes/ Smoking sticky green, having sweet dreams.” The two green-minded rappers first joined forces late last year, when Snoop guested on the remix to Wiz Khalifa’s breakout hit, “Black and Yellow.” “Black and yellow, ahh, black and yellow/ See me now they treating me like I’m somebody special,” Wiz spits over the Snoop-featured “G-mix.” “Smoking on that good, know it’s me soon as they smell it/ You can chill, I’m the one who get it, not the one who sell it/ I grind every day, I’m balling, I can’t help it/ N—as on that bullsh–, my pockets full of Celtics.” Since that time, the Snoop and Wiz have been spotted in the studio together collaborating on music in Los Angeles. Both artists have new albums due this year, Snoop’s Doggumentary and Wiz’s untitled debut. Their joint movie and soundtrack project remains untitled and no release date has been set as of press time. In the current issue of The Source, Wiz spoke about being compared to Snoop Dogg. “When people meet me and if they know Snoop … will say, ‘When they do a movie, they better put you as Snoop,’ ” Wiz told the magazine. “And I look up to Dogg, so that’s huge for me. He’s the OG, man. Anybody that compares me to him, that tight.” Related Photos MTV.com Exclusive: Wiz Khalifa Related Artists Snoop Dogg Wiz Khalifa

‘Jersey Shore’ Newcomer Deena Is ‘Like An Energizer Bunny’

‘Me and Angelina have no similarities at all,’ Snooki’s BFF says of replacing ex-housemate when new season kicks off on Thursday. By Eric Ditzian Deena Nicole Cortese Photo: Marc Stamas/ Getty Images “Jersey Shore” newcomer Deena Nicole Cortese recently told us she brings “a lot of positive energy to the show.” That’s at least partly true, if the first episode of the new season is any indication of what’s to come as the cast returns from a Miami Beach sojourn. The pint-size Jersey native brings the party from the moment she steps into the Seaside Heights house, declaring, alongside gal pal Snooki, “Party’s here!” We won’t say what happens next, except that there’s a whole lot of positive energy, followed by a seriously negative roomie vs. roomie blowout. But whether she’s kicking back in the rooftop hot tub or hurling insults at fellow castmates, there’s no doubt Deena is one heck of an entertaining addition to the hit reality show, which debuts Thursday at 10 p.m. ET . “I’m like an Energizer Bunny, and you never know what you’re going to get. It’s great,” Deena told MTV News. “I’m very kindhearted and I’m like a kid at heart. That’s just me. I love life and I show how much I love life. I’m just being myself.” And being herself, Deena maintains, means being nothing like ex-castmember Angelina Pivarnick (even if they’re both trained dental hygienists). “Me and Angelina have no similarities at all,” Deena said. “We’re very different. We’re completely opposite, like oil and vinegar. I’m very positive. There are ups and downs in the house, but I don’t provoke things. I just like everything to be a good time. Positive energy is a blast.” The new season of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” premieres Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on MTV. Related Videos It’s The Return Of ‘Jersey Shore’!

Britney Spears Vs. Lady Gaga: Perez Hilton Weighs In

‘It’s gonna be a very competitive year for females in music, and that’s exciting,’ celeb blogger explains. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Lady Gaga and Britney Spears Photo: Getty Images Fans are responding with fervor to the great pop battle of 2011. Who will come out on top when Lady Gaga and Britney Spears release new music this year? Well, it seems that Perez Hilton has a feeling that both ladies will be wildly successful. And he also pointed out that there are a few other horses in this race. “The gays will be very happy. I think it’s going to be super exciting and competitive, especially because Ke$ha’s still going to be around and Katy Perry’s still around,” he told MTV News. “It’s gonna be a very competitive year for females in music, and that’s exciting.” If we’re putting Gaga and Brit head to head, who would Perez place his bet on? “When the dust settles, I definitely think that Lady Gaga will win in this battle just because I know personally that Gaga is so hungry and determined to make this album successful that she’s going to work so hard,” he said. “Whereas Britney and her camp think she doesn’t have to work as hard. It will be successful, but I don’t think it will be as successful as Gaga’s.” He may give it to Gaga in the end, but he noted that Britney does have a leg up — initially, at least. “Britney Spears has an advantage coming out first, because if Gaga would have come out first, that would have hurt Britney,” he explained. “But Britney can have her moment to shine, and I look forward to hearing [her single].” Do you agree with Perez? Who is your money on? Let us know in the comments! Related Videos 2011 Forecast: The Year In Music Related Artists Britney Spears Lady Gaga

Gucci Mane Arrested On Probation Violation

Rapper is in an Atlanta hospital pending mental examination before January 24 sentencing. By Jayson Rodriguez Gucci Mane (file) Photo: Taylor Hill/ Getty Images Troubled rapper Gucci Mane is in custody once again, this time on a probation violation stemming from an arrest in early November. The Atlanta-based star (real name Radric Davis) was arrested on November 2 when police discovered him driving on the wrong side of the road. Police needed to use pepper spray to subdue the rapper but he was later released. The traffic charges against the “Lemonade” lyricist were eventually dropped. On Monday, the rapper appeared in court for a probation hearing related to the incident. Records from the Fulton County Superior Court Clerk’s office obtained by MTV News reveal Gucci Mane filed a “special plea of mental incompetency” on December 27 indicating he is unable to “intelligently participate” in the revocation process. Gucci Mane is set to stand before a judge again on January 24. At that time, a sentence will be recommended — expected to be 17 months — for violating his post-prison supervision terms. The rapper was released from prison last May after a previous violation. In the meantime, the rapper has been admitted to Anchor Hospital where he will undergo a “competency hearing” to determine his mental state. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution , Gucci Mane’s prot

Christina Milian Talks Marriage To The-Dream, Infidelities

‘I’ve been to hell and back, but I survived,’ she says of her divorce from the singer/songwriter. By Jayson Rodriguez Christina Milian Photo: Getty Images While The-Dream has spoken out about his split from wife Christina Milian, saying he considered suicide after their separation, the “Dip It Low” star has remained quiet. Now, however, Milian has shared her feelings about the divorce in an interview with Latina magazine. The Cuban-American entertainer also touched on adultery allegations against The-Dream, with whom she has a daughter, Violet. “No matter what, you can’t change who you are. I know that now. I tried to be someone I wasn’t because I wanted my marriage to work. But ultimately, if it’s not working, it’s not working,” she explained. “I didn’t know anything,” Milian added about cheating rumors involving her songwriting ex-husband. The-Dream and his assistant were photographed in intimate photos on what appeared to be a vacation while he was still married to Milian. “But looking back, my gut was telling me something was off. But I thought I could fix it.” Last summer, The-Dream wrote a blog post on his site, shared his feelings about the end of his marriage. “I take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for misleading everyone into thinking everything was fine and okay when we knew problems existed for awhile! I wanted to speak up but we decided it wasn’t for anyone to know,” he wrote in July. “I would NEVER intentionally hurt a soul and everyone around me knows that!” Just five months before that revelation, he and Milian had welcomed daughter Violet , Christina’s first child. The couple appeared to be in wedded bliss, but later jointly announced they had been separated for some time , and the pair eventually divorced. “I learned a lot about myself this year,” Milian told the magazine about the ordeal. “I learned what I can handle. I learned how much I can take. I learned who I am and what I will accept for myself and my daughter.” Up next, she said she’ll focus on Violet but didn’t talk specifically about resuming her career. “I feel brand-new,” she said. “I’ve been to hell and back, but I survived. I’m stronger for it and now I’m ready for the next phase of my life.” Related Photos Before They Got Hitched: The-Dream & Christina Milian Related Artists Christina Milian

Lindsay Lohan Reportedly Released From Rehab

Dina Lohan confirms Lindsay’s release to E! News, saying, ‘It’s a great day.’ By MTV News staff Lindsay Lohan (file) Photo: Mark Ralston/ Getty Images It appears that Lindsay Lohan has been released from her four-month stint in rehab. According to E! News , Lohan’s mom, Dina, confirmed her daughter’s release from the Betty Ford Center, adding: “It’s a great day.” MTV News reached out to Lohan’s rep for an official statement but did not receive a response by press time. Lohan’s sixth stint in rehab came after she voluntarily entered the Ford Center in late September following an admission that she’d failed a court-mandated drug test. It was preceded by a 14-hour trip to jail — the same one she’d exited in August for violating her probation. That was followed by 23 days in court-ordered rehab. Despite being dropped from her one upcoming film project, “Inferno,” the problem-plagued star has plans to expand her 6126 fashion line. Lohan also recently posted a hopeful message on Twitter on New Year’s Day, writing, “Today is the first day of the rest of my life,” and then quoted spiritual icon Mahatma Ghandi’s message that, “The future depends on what we do in the present.” Her sometimes-estranged father, Michael, told CBS News that his daughter is doing “unbelievably” well. “She’s turned this whole situation around to use this to her advantage and she has taken the right steps and put the right people back in her life that she had at the best part of her life to really use it as a springboard,” Lohan said.

Lady Gaga To Unveil Polaroid ‘Grey Label’ Project At CES

Pop star’s collaboration with the instant-camera maker will be revealed Thursday. By James Montgomery Lady Gaga Photo: Frederick M. Brown/ Getty Images Nearly a year ago, when Lady Gaga announced that she had signed on as a creative director with Polaroid, the singer told fans she’d already begun work on a series of “prototypes in the vein of fashion/technology/photography innovation.” This Thursday, we’ll finally get to see the fruits of her labor. That’s when Polaroid will unveil their so-called “Grey Label,” the end result of — as the company puts it in a statement — “a collaboration between two of the most influential icons of our time: Polaroid and Lady Gaga.” The launch will happen at the massive Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, but little monsters can also watch it unfold live on Polaroid.com at 3:30 p.m. PT. Of course, it’s not exactly clear what Polaroid’s Grey Label will actually entail (the former instant-camera giant says it will be “the next generation instant experience”), but there’s already a fancy website dedicated to the project, complete with a clock counting down to the big reveal. Gaga isn’t speaking about the project either (she’s probably too busy unveiling pertinent information about her upcoming Born This Way album — and her backside — on Twitter, but in April, she held a creative meeting with Polaroid in Tokyo, in which she apparently wowed her new corporate partners with her ideas. “It’s very clear from our first few sessions that she is a creative tour-de-force, and a key player on the Polaroid team. … The partnership is all channeling Lady Gaga’s fashion sense to create innovative products with her fans in mind,” a post on Polaroid’s website read last year. “The collaboration will deliver new products that mix the best of ‘instant’ with digital era multi-media.
