Kristen Stewart ‘Not Worried’ About Her Next Career Move

Posted on June 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I really just choose things instinctually,’ the ‘Eclipse’ star tells MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Kristen Stewart Photo: MTV News Kristen Stewart has it pretty good these days. She’s the female lead in one of the most successful movie franchises of all time. She’s managed to continue to do work in smaller films. And she pretty much has her pick of any film she’d like to do next. But the “Eclipse” star said all she’s focused on next in her career is not having to really focus on anything. “I feel less [career pressure] because I’m in such a stellar position,” she told MTV News. “I feel really indulgent, like I feel it’s really cool to be able to say, ‘I don’t know [what I’m doing] for the next couple years.’ I’m gonna focus on being an actor. Like, I want to make movies and stuff.” Stewart does have some projects lined up, including the “Breaking Dawn” flicks and “On the Road,” but she’s not worried about her otherwise-clear docket. “I want to do other stuff, but right now, it’s really cool just being like, ‘I don’t know what I’m going to do next year, but this year I’m doing this.’ I’m doing ‘On the Road’ and ‘Breaking Dawn,’ and that’s all that I know that I’m doing.” Stewart’s next big career choices will be made the way all her other decisions are: from her gut. “I’m not good at planning out my career,” she said. “But if I was, I’d probably feel pressure, but because I don’t and I really just choose things instinctually, I’m not worried about it.” We’ll be live at the L.A. premiere of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” on Thursday, June 24.

Dr. Dre’s ‘Under Pressure,’ Featuring Jay-Z, Leaks Online

Posted on June 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Unfinished Detox track has no chorus and isn’t mixed or mastered. By Shaheem Reid Jay-Z and Dr. Dre (file) Photo: Getty Images Dr. Dre asked Jay-Z to “come holler,” and Jay delivered. The pair recorded the Detox song “Under Pressure” months ago, and an unfinished version leaked online Wednesday (June 16). The song isn’t mixed or mastered and has no chorus, but it offers more than an inkling of where the two legends are headed. “The long-awaited Detox, bitch,” Dre starts the song. “But maybe I don’t wanna stop/ Maybe I don’t wanna quit/ Maybe I like ho’s/ Maybe I don’t want a wife/ Maybe I’m psycho/ Maybe we need to breathe some life in this sh–/ Maybe we are the life of this sh–.” The chorus is conspicuously absent, then Hov comes in for the second verse. “Dre, I think I need my sponsor,” he says. “Trying to grow, but I just can’t seem ta/ Having trouble cleaning up like FEMA/ All these little haters got me back with the nina/ Got me bringing guns to work, Gilbert Arenas.” In the track, Hov says he’s addicted to the finer things, like drop-top coupes, watches and bowlegged girls from the projects. “I’m in this party/ I’m up to no good/ And I should be ducking these clubs, Tiger Woods.” “I smoke, I drink, I’m supposed to stop but I can’t,” Dre says to end the record. “N—as don’t ask why/ I’m high … I’m a weed head and I’mma treat every day like the weekend.” “Under Pressure” isn’t the only Detox song to leak. An unfinished track featuring T.I. and Nas was bootlegged last year, as was a song with R. Kelly and 50 Cent that turned into Before I Self Destruct ‘s “Could’ve Been You.” Outside of Detox, Dre has been working with Eminem, of course, and the Game on his new LP The R.E.D. Album.

Why Did Megan Fox And Brian Austin Green Call Off First Engagement?

Posted on June 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Now that they’re engaged again, MTV News takes a look at their relationship. By Jocelyn Vena Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green Photo: Getty Images On Wednesday (June 16), Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green confirmed they were giving engagement another try, after calling off their first betrothal in February 2009. Sources told People magazine at the time that, despite the split, the two remained friendly. “The decision was mutual,” the source said about the couple, who met in 2004 before getting engaged for the first time in November 2006. “They’re still friends.” In 2008, Green spoke about the strain their busy careers put on their relationship, even before the split. “We met on ‘Hope & Faith,’ ” he told TV Guide. “We’ve lived together for three years. We have tattoos of each other’s names. We have more time away from each other now than we’d like. We have a potbellied pig, dogs, two cats, two birds, a squirrel. Megan wants a leopard. That’ll never happen! That’s a whole different world. … I would love more kids. Right now, our biggest problem is rescuing pets from pet stores.” Soon after the pair announced their split, they were spotted around town together. A source told E! News that, shortly after the breakup, “They just seemed like a normal couple. They weren’t holding hands or anything. … She was just sort of following him around.” The pair officially decided to start dating again later in 2009, with Fox revealing what she liked about Green : “He’s a man. He has an ego. He went through [fame] already, and he doesn’t want it back — it was horrible. So he has sympathy. He’s the one person that I know that if I’m struggling and everything’s getting crazy, I can call.” What do you think about Megan and Brian planning to get married? Let us know in the comments!

Bam Margera Assault Interferes With ‘Jackass 3-D’ Intro

Posted on June 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

After 59-year-old allegedly beat him with a bat, Bam can’t be hit on head for the movie. By Gil Kaufman Bam Margera Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images Only in “Jackass” world would an accidental head injury prevent someone from suffering a planned head shot. According to TMZ , the assault on Bam Margera this weekend could prevent the “Viva la Bam” star from participating in the filming of the opening sequence of the upcoming “Jackass 3-D” movie. Bam was assaulted early Saturday morning (June 12) and beaten with a bat wielded by a 59-year-old woman, following a noise complaint at The Note, the bar that Margera owns in his hometown of West Chester, Pennsylvania. Elizabeth Ray, who lives on the same block as the bar, attacked Margera with a bat at around 2 a.m. on Saturday. She was arrested and charged with one count of aggravated assault, two counts of simple assault and two counts of reckless endangerment. She posted $10,000 bail shortly after her arrest. Ray professed her innocence to the Philadelphia Daily News, claiming that Margera used racial slurs during their initial argument about the noise. “He called me the N-word,” she said. “I’m innocent, and he’s a jackass, just like his movies.” Margera was taken via ambulance to Chester County Hospital and treated for his injuries, and at press time no update was available on his condition. “Jackass” co-star Steve-O told TMZ that Margera had been brought into the intensive care unit of the hospital and was released a few hours later. “I think he’s gonna be OK,” Steve-O told TMZ. The one lasting effect of the beating is that the concussion Margera suffered has complicated his participation in the upcoming shoot for the intro to the third “Jackass” movie. TMZ reported that Margera flew to Los Angeles on Monday for the shoot, which calls for the entire “Jackass” crew to take some hard shots to the skull in slow motion 3-D. Margera reportedly told the site that his head-shot had to be rewritten because of the concussion and internal bleeding he suffered in the assault. A spokesperson for Margera could not be reached for comment at press time. “Jackass 3-D” is slated to hit theaters in October.

‘Jersey Shore’ Wisdom Comes To Life With Jackson Rathbone, Others

Posted on June 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson and other celebs re-enact the best lines from ‘Gym, Tanning, Laundry: The Official Jersey Shore Quote Book.’ By Jonathan Goldner, with reporting by MTV News staff The Situation, J-Woww and Pauly D from MTV’s “Jersey Shore” Photo: MTV Everyone remembers those classic moments from season one of “Jersey Shore.” Snooki getting punched and Pauly D taking the grenade will no doubt live on in our hearts forever. But there were actually a lot of life lessons hidden amidst the GTL high jinks. The best of those — Women really are a game. Thanks, Pauly! — are collected in “Gym, Tanning, Laundry: The Official Jersey Shore Quote Book,” which hits bookstores Tuesday. In honor of this momentous occasion, MTV News asked some of our favorite visiting celebrities to get their Seaside on and deliver their best recitations of those famous “JS” Zen moments. First to take up the challenge was former professional wrestler Mick Foley, who proudly channeled Snooki, proclaiming, “My boobs are so tight I can’t breathe. Is that normal?” He also did a bang-up job of JWoww’s legendary “ham and water” moment. Jackson Rathbone gave us a suspiciously good impression of “The Situation” that needs to be seen to be believed. Next to step up to the plate was MTV’s own Warren the Ape , who one day might attain “Shore”-level fame himself. He hopes. After lamenting the number of metaphors we asked him to recite, Warren made Ronnie sound like Shakespeare himself with a thunderous reading of “You just take your shirt off and they come to you. It’s like a fly comes to sh–.” Applause could be heard up and down the halls of MTV News as employees wept openly at the raw drama shown by the ape. All that is to say nothing of UFC’s Quinton “Rampage” Jackson giving us his best JWoww with “No man will ever touch me like that ever twice.” Rampage, indeed! But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Watch the video, pick up the book and get ready to hit the beach again when season two of “Jersey Shore” starts July 29 at 10 p.m. What is your favorite “Jersey Shore” quote?

Drake Thinks He’ll Call Sophomore Album Moments

Posted on June 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘It’s a game of moments,’ MC says of rap climate. ‘I’m the moment right now.’ By Jayson Rodriguez Drake Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images With a title like Thank Me Later, Drake doesn’t seem to think his moody, dense full-length debut is going to be easy to digest right away. Listeners will catch on eventually, though, and he’s willing to wait for their gratitude. But even before his first album is out, Drake seems to be predicting that he’ll be ready to bask in his success by the time he releases his sophomore run. According to the Los Angeles Times, Drake is flirting with the idea of naming his next album Moments. “Hip-hop is all about moments,” Drake told the newspaper. “You look at people who were hot three or four years ago who are sitting around reminiscing. It’s fickle. It’s a game of moments. I’m the moment right now.” For now, however, the So Far Gone star is concentrating on the highly anticipated release of Thank Me Later, which arrives Tuesday. Although the album leaked prior to its official release date, Drake tweeted he’s “good” despite the minor setback. “I gave away free music for years so we’re good over here,” Drake wrote. “Just allow it to be the soundtrack to your summer and ENJOY! JUNE 15th!” Earlier this year, Drake spoke with MTV News about his debut and what the process has taught him about his own life. “I’m learning about myself. That’s what my music is about,” he explained. “I don’t necessarily know all the time who Drake is. I take it day by day and learn as much as I can about myself. As I learn, I choose to share with my fans. I’m just an artist that isn’t scared of being open. “My journey, as far as growing into a man, is shared with the people,” Drake added. “My whole life is like that. I grew up on TV, I’ve always become accustomed to sharing my life with the world. At least now I get to do it in my own words … so I’m not a character. I have a little more grasp on who I am. I’m more eager to share it now. Me growing into an artist is me growing into a man.” What do you think about Drake’s potential album title? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Drake

Jay-Z Remix Of M.I.A.’s ‘XXXO’ Hits The Net

Posted on June 11, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Jay raps about metrosexuals and machine guns over first single from M.I.A.’s upcoming album. By James Montgomery M.I.A. and Jay-Z Photo: Kevin Mazur/ Getty Images It’s been a fairly quiet week for M.I.A. — no feuds with New York Times journalists , nary a “Google is a puppet of the CIA” conspiracy theory floated. But all that changed on Friday (June 11), when a Jay-Z -ified remix of her first single, “XXXO” hit the Net. The a glossy, electro-stomping reworking of M.I.A.’s original track features a brand-new verse from Jay himself, in which he proclaims, “This is not my politically correct flow.” He then proceeds to spit some great lines about metrosexuals and machine guns. There’s no word on who did the actual production work for the track, and by press time, M.I.A.’s label, Interscope, had not responded to MTV News’ request for comment. The “XXXO” remix isn’t the first time Jay and M.I.A. have collaborated together. The duo — along with Kanye West, Lil Wayne and T.I. — famously tore up the stage at the 2009 Grammy Awards with their version of “Swagga Like Us,” a performance that was made even more remarkable by the fact that M.I.A. was nine-months pregnant with her first son, Ikhyd . According to reports, M.I.A. will film a video for “XXXO” — the official first single off her album ///Y/ — with iconic hip-hop director Hype Williams. The album is due to hit stores on July 13. In the past two months, M.I.A. has stepped up her rather unorthodox promotion strategy for the album, releasing a controversial video for the song “Born Free” , feuding with Lady Gaga and taking Times reporter Lynn Hirschberg to task for a less-than-flattering cover story. Share your reviews of the Jay-Z remix of M.I.A.’s “XXXO” in the comments below. Related Artists Jay-Z M.I.A.

Lady Gaga Rocks Bikini, Flips The Bird At Mets Game

Posted on June 10, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Singer retreats to suite after photographers turn their cameras on her. By Kara Warner Lady Gaga attends a Mets game Thursday Photo: Nick Laham/ Getty Images Lady Gaga is a dedicated New York Yankees fan , but that’s not the only reason she surprised fans, players and photographers alike on Thursday (June 10) when she showed up at Citi Field in New York for a Mets game. Sporting her trademark wardrobe choices, the singer arrived at the game in a bikini-like bra top, a large leather jacket, and, according to reports, a rather testy attitude. AOL’s Popeater received photographic evidence of the Lady via a Twitter photo sent in by Mets fan Jimmie Kassab. In the photo, Gaga looks slightly perturbed and is pointing accusingly at two gentlemen standing near her VIP seats behind home plate. According to reports from fans at the game (including one humorous account from the father of a writer/reporter at website Jezebel ), in the fifth inning, Gaga became upset when photographers who were at the game to cover the Mets suddenly noticed her presence and turned their lenses on her. Gaga reacted by giving the photographers the finger and whisked herself and her entourage out of their seats at homeplate to take refuge in a luxury suite. Speaking with MTV News during the World Series last year, Gaga compared herself to Yankees reliever Mariano Rivera — a situation that’s even more relevant today given the reaction to her latest video, “Alejandro.” “I’ve actually been making a lot of Yankee analogies in my interviews lately because I get asked, ‘Do you feel pressure? How do you feel when someone says this? Or do you feel like you have to top yourself?’ ” she explained. “I say I do feel like I have to top myself. But I feel like I’m Rivera. I’m a closer.” Related Artists Lady Gaga
