‘American Idol’ In 60 Seconds: Casey Abrams Is Saved … And More Surprises

With no one sent home this week, there will be two eliminations on next week’s show. By Jim Cantiello Casey Abrams Photo: FOX It was Motown Week on “American Idol X: The Judges Give Good Reaction Shots,” and almost everyone brought their A-game. (Check out Jim’s speedy take on the week’s “Idol” craziness in the embedded video below.) “Tyler Perry Presents” Jacob Lusk stole the show by performing both the male and female parts of a famous Motown duet. Werk! Meanwhile, Naima Adedapo imagined a strange world where everyone is “Dancing [African] in the Street.” And wouldn’t you know it? Put a guitar in Paul McDonald’s hands and the swashbuckling leprechaun is immediately replaced by a legitimate frontman. Scotty McCreery charmingly crooned “For Once in My Life” as a country shuffle. Pia sang a Motown song that Streisand made a hit. Duh. Lauren’s and Thia’s performances were solid, if uninspired. Perhaps that will inspire the hairstylists to part their hair on the opposite side so we can continue to see their pretty young faces as they nervously turn to the band leader for cues. Stefano Langone’s theatrical “Hello” was a disappointment, but not nearly as disastrous as his mother’s home-cooked penne dish, which gave audience member Gordon Ramsey an intense case of Douche Mouth. The night ended with James Durbin’s Running Man-enhanced “Living for the City.” His vocals were lovely. His dancing was … Let’s just say it’s a good thing Stevie Wonder couldn’t see it. On Thursday night’s results show, Marc Anthony auditioned to be a new judge backstage after curing all of the contestants’ tone-deaf-itis with the magic of in-ear technology. Education has never been so sweaty! Thanks to “Idol” producers, there were surprises at every corner. Surprise! Stevie Wonder was in the house. (His lyric retention, however, was not.) Surprise! “Idol” got homoerotic with an extended montage of two men wrestling. Surprise! Apparently, Jennifer Hudson won her season of “Idol,” according to Ryan “Revisionist History” Seacrest. Surprise! Hulk Hogan showed up to prove to America that it is possible to be tanner and blonder than Ryan Seacrest. (Also, he has the ability to turn grown men into babbling toddlers.) Surprise! Haley Reinhart proved that if you wear short shorts that reveal part of your bottom, you will avoid the bottom three! Surprise! Casey Abrams was eliminated, then saved by the benevolent judges. His reaction: dropping the f-bomb and pretending to need medical attention. This is “American Idol X: Ratings by Any Means Necessary.” Don’t miss “Idol Party Live” every Thursday on MTV.com, following the “American Idol” results show, for analysis, celebrity guests and even some karaoke — get in the conversation by tweeting with the hashtag #idolparty !

Agree with Hengler here , Obama is the first President in our history who has refused the title leader of the free world : More evidence ? President Barack Obama is resisting pressure to deliver an Oval Office speech explaining his policy on Libya — in part, because he doesn’t want to equate what he regards as a smaller, time-limited mission with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Robert Pattinson Dishes On Awkward Love Scenes

‘Reese [Witherspoon] had this wig on, and literally, I was wiping my nose on her wig,’ RPattz says of scene in ‘Water for Elephants.’ By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson Photo: MTV News We’ve heard Robert Pattinson talk about his love scenes before. “Lot of my crack in it!” he once laughed to us about what we can expect in the upcoming drama ” Bel Ami .” And we’ve even seen photographic evidence of his honeymoon boom-boom with Kristen Stewart in December’s first installment of ” Breaking Dawn .” But when it comes to Pattinson’s amorous encounters onscreen, his fans can never get enough. It’s no surprise then that one Twitter user submitted a question during “MTV First: Robert Pattinson” asking if the actor felt awkward doing love scenes with “Water for Elephants” co-star Reese Witherspoon. Awkward, no. Sick? Well, yes. “The love scene in this, I was doing it when I had a really bad cold,” Pattinson explained. “I’m not generally that awkward doing stuff apart from when I’ve got my belly coming out. But my nose is running all over the place and it was in one of the additional photography scenes, and Reese had this wig on, and literally, I was wiping my nose on her wig.” “We were doing this really passionate love scene,” he added with a giggle. “It was really stupid. I guess I’m not that awkward anymore.” The key with any love scene, Pattinson went on to make clear, is that it has to make sense within the context of the story. You can’t just get freaky in front of the camera because someone thinks it’ll boost ticket sales. “It always depends. You’ve got to really know what you’re doing. If it’s just a sort of arbitrary love scene, it’d be quite difficult,” he said. And what of his scene with Stewart in “Breaking Dawn,” the one we got an early, feather-filled glimpse of in January? Rob hesitated before saying simply, “The one on ‘Breaking Dawn’ is pretty funny.” Check out everything we’ve got on ” Water for Elephants .” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Zack Snyder Explains Choosing Henry Cavill For Superman Role

‘I think Henry just has this innocence,’ filmmaker said of his choice for ‘Man of Steel.’ By Kara Warner Zack Snyder Photo: MTV News One drawback in making comic book movies, particularly those that involve one of the most recognizable characters of all time, is that no matter how excited fans are about the project, the people involved with the film aren’t allowed to talk about it. Case in point, Zack Snyder’s super (pun intended) highly-anticipated “Superman” reboot, tentatively titled ” Man of Steel .” When MTV News caught up with the director during the press day for his epic action fantasy “Sucker Punch” on Friday (March 18), we did our best to squeeze some information out of him about the direction in which he plans to take the film. But try as we might, Snyder’s lips were mostly sealed. “It’s a super-secret thing!” he said after a few failed attempts at getting some scoop. “It’s like building a stealth bomber.” That said, despite our seemingly stealthy line of questioning, we were only able to eke out a few thoughts from Snyder regarding his choice for the film’s lead actor, Henry Cavill , versus his second choice, “True Blood” actor Joe Manganiello. “Henry’s just … I love Joe too, by the way,” Snyder said. “Really he was the only other guy I was thinking of, to be honest, other than Henry. But in the end, I think Henry just has this innocence too [in addition to the look and physicality required for the role], he has both, which is tricky,” he explained. “Superman needs the teeniest bit of that. Not to be overt, but you like it to be there ever so slightly. I mean, he grew up in Kansas, that’s just true, so you need a little of that [innocence].” Regarding Snyder’s rumored plans to make his new Superman more physical, the “300” director once again laughed at our detail-oriented line of questioning. “I can’t answer that!” he exclaimed, and then complimented our detail-digging efforts. “Because if I say, that is what will be the thing [that everyone will run with].” Check out everything we’ve got on “Superman: Man of Steel.” For breaking news and previews of the latest comic book movies — updated around the clock — visit SplashPage.MTV.com .

Melanie Fiona recently did an alter ego shoot, entitled “Sistory: I Am Every Woman,” with famed photographer Derek Blanks. In it, she takes on 11 different personalities from different times and cultures to honor Women’s History Month. “In this portrait, I am the face of every woman who ever stood, fought, or perished, for the rights and strength of a progressive cause,” she says. “I’m in the middle of the photograph, which is where I’m representing the unity of music, love and peace.
