The two first hooked up on Nicki’s “Beez in the Trap” single earlier this year, but their relationship actually dates back to around 2008, when the both were on the road with Lil Wayne. “I’ve known Nicki for a minute; I met her on the I Am Music Tour, the first leg with Wayne,” 2 Chainz told MTV News in April. “It was cool, we had a great relationship, we used to talk, trip out here and there.” “He’s an amazing dude, very hard worker,” Nicki told us in April. Their camaraderie was evident in the “Beez in the Trap” video as Minaj shared a dance with the Atlanta MC. Nicki has been known to give lap dances to guests during her shows, so don’t be surprised if she and Tity Boi share a special moment or two when they hit the road in Chicago on July 16.

Cody Simpson ‘Embracing’ Celebrity Life

Posted on June 13, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘It all comes as a package, and you have to be ready for it,’ Aussie pop star tells MTV News of people caring about his music and personal life. By Jocelyn Vena Cody Simpson Photo: Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images With his Preview to Paradise EP out, a summer tour with Big Time Rush set to kick off next month and a rumored relationship with “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star Kylie Jenner, Cody Simpson ‘s celebrity is definitely on the rise. And the Australian pop star understands that with a major music career comes interest in his personal life — including the prying lenses of the paparazzi following the 15-year-old as he makes his way through the world. When Simpson chatted with MTV News on Tuesday, the same day he dropped the EP, he said he’s taking it all in stride. “I’m getting there,” Simpson said. “For a while, it was always just about my music and establishing myself. I think it was a little different at first when people started taking interest in what I did other than that — the whole celebrity thing, I guess — and it’s something that I had to get used to. But, you know, it all comes as a package, and you have to be ready for it. I’m embracing it, and I love it.” These days, Simpson is focused on his career more than worrying about his road to megastardom. And, one of his main priorities is dropping his full-length album, Paradise, in October. “I just love music and I love to work hard, and that’s what I’ve been doing for the last two years since I got my record deal, and I’m more than prepared,” he said. “I’m very motivated and I always stay motivated, and I’m very dedicated to what I do when I set my mind to something. It’s pretty much the music 24/7 for me. I’m ready for this year and 2013.” Have you listened to Cody Simpson’s new EP? Share your reviews in the comments! Related Artists Cody Simpson

Snooki Moves Out Of ‘Jersey Shore’ House

Posted on June 6, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘They’re starting to take those next steps into adulthood,’ an MTV executive said of Snooki’s new next-door digs. By Gil Kaufman Snooki Photo: Getty Images The Smush Room is no place to raise a baby. That might explain why pregnant Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi 
 has moved out of the “Jersey Shore” house and into an adjacent space where she can focus on impending mommyhood. “It’s not a prison,” MTV’s executive VP of programming and head of production, Chris Linn told Entertainment Weekly about the legendary “Shore” house. “I know she’s concerned about the perception of her being a pregnant woman in a party house. I think that’s a common experience among a group of friends when somebody gets pregnant. This is an opportunity to see how she deals with it and how the rest of the house deals with it. The show has always been about following what’s really happening in their lives.” That move is just one of the changes Linn said viewers will see when the sixth season of “Shore” hits the air. As Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino told MTV News in an exclusive interview , he’s hitting the shore clean and sober for the first time and plans on making it out to the usual hotspots like Karma while keeping the partying to a minimum. Jenni “JWoww” Farley is in a committed relationship with her beloved tattooed gorilla, Roger and Snooki’s sidekick, Deena Cortese is spoken for as well. “They’re starting to take those next steps into adulthood,” said Linn. “What’s going to be different this season is how much their lives had changed.” The “Shore” kids made their Seaside Heights home-away-from-home last week after an 11-month hiatus, the longest in the show’s history. And, after just a few days in the house, as promised, Snooki packed up her fuzzy slippers and beloved Crocodilly and moved next door. Though it’s the fighting, drinking and hook-ups that have made “Shore” an international sensation, Linn said producers are not worried about the big life changes their cast has gone through over the past year. “I don’t think anybody expected Snooki to be the one to blaze that trail, but she is, and it’s going to change the dynamic with everybody else,” Linn said. “She’s just as funny, if not funnier, than she’s ever been.” Among the other changes: a planned skydiving excursion had to be scrapped due to Snooki’s pregnancy, but executive producer SallyAnn Salsano said that doesn’t mean we’ll suddenly be watching Vinnie and Pauly D sitting around reading Proust and discussing the European financial crisis. She said the upcoming season will be “a different kind of entertaining,” with lots of jokes about Snooki’s pregnancy and Mike’s sobriety. “It’s like a high school sex-ed video gone insane,” she said.

Flaming Lips Enlist Grace Potter, Neon Indian In O Music Awards Record Attempt

Posted on June 6, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Band is aiming to top Jay-Z’s live concert record during the June 27 O Music Awards live stream. By Gil Kaufman The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne Photo: Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images It takes a village to topple a record. That seems to be the thinking behind the Flaming Lips ‘ efforts to gather an army of musical cohorts to help them take aim at Jay-Z’s record for the most live concerts in 24 hours. As part of a record attempt that will take place over 24 hours during the June 27 O Music Awards , the Lips will try to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records by playing shows in eight different cities. We can now reveal that they will get some support from an eclectic group of musicians that includes festival favorites Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, modern bluesman Gary Clark Jr., country singer Hunter Hayes, and indie rock acts Givers, New Fumes, Neon Indian, and Grimes. Beginning June 27, the O Music Awards will play out across all of MTV’s screens and linear networks in the form of the world’s first 24-hour award-show live stream via a historic and hectic bus ride through the Mississippi Delta, the birthplace of rock and roll. Two-time O Music Award nominees and multiple Grammy winners Flaming Lips will board a vintage tour bus named Endeavor and zigzag across the region in an attempt to break the world record currently held by Jay-Z for the most live concerts in 24 hours. More support acts will be named soon, and each will play a full set before making way for the Lips to take the stage for their mini-sets with unique collaborations and special guests. Tickets for the shows go on sale Thursday (June 7) and can be purchased through the individual venues. Partial proceeds from the show will be donated to VH1’s Save the Music Foundation . Also, the entire show will be streamed live on OMusicAwards.com and accessible on all platforms including mobile and tablets. “I don’t remember if I was asked or if I volunteered. … But I’ve accepted the job of not driving but commandeering the Magical Mystery Merry Prankster bus,” Lips frontman Wayne Coyne told MTV News. “I’ve accepted the attempt at breaking the world record of performing eight shows in 24 hours. And I’ve explained to the music freaks at MTV, VH1 and CMT that I am not a host. … But I always liked the way Jerry Lewis would get all sweaty toward the end of his yearly telethon. To play and sing Flaming Lips songs at eight in the morning, well … I’m open to new experiences.” During the 24-hour live stream, 24 awards will be presented to winners. Fans can vote now up until the show via the O Music Awards website in a wide assortment of categories that include Must Follow Artist on Twitter, Best Online Concert Experience, Most Adorable Viral Star, Fan Army FTW, Best Music App and Digital Genius Award. Nearly 10 million votes have been cast since voting kicked off on May 23. You never know what’s going to happen on the live stream, where the Lips will be constantly “on,” as cameras follow them on the bus, on the stage and everywhere in between. Along the way, the band will meet up with fans and presenters who will dole out awards and, of course, deal with all the pitfalls and unexpected detours that a multi-state road trip entails — flat tires, stops at musical monuments, and perhaps the occasional music-making special guests and hitchhikers. The day before the big show, June 26, the Lips will release a physical version of The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends, the previously digital-only album featuring unique collaborations with Yoko Ono, Nick Cave, Bon Iver, Ke$ha and an exclusive new track recorded with Ghostland Observatory’s Aaron Behrens.
