Grammy Nominations Concert: Katy Perry And Justin Bieber Perform, Earn Nods

B.o.B, Bruno Mars and Train also hit the stage for the nominations special. By James Montgomery Katy Perry performs during the GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!! in Los Angeles on Wednesday Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images Even though the Grammy Awards are still more than two months away, Eminem should probably start getting his acceptance speech ready. Or, more specifically, acceptance speeches. Em landed three huge nominations during Wednesday night’s (December 1) Grammy Nominations Concert at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles — Record and Song of the Year for his massive hit “Love the Way You Lie” and an Album of the Year nod for the equally big Recovery — making him the early favorite to take home the hardware February 13, when the Grammys will be handed out. Another early favorite is Cee Lo, whose “F— You” scored noms for both Record and Song of the Year and — of course — country juggernauts Lady Antebellum, who matched Eminem with nominations for Record, Song and Album of the Year. Both Eminem and Lady Antebellum were expected by most to pick up nominations in the so-called “big four” categories, but that doesn’t mean the Grammy nominations special was without its fair share of surprises. Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream picked up a nod for Best Album, along with Lady Gaga’s The Fame Monster and, in the night’s most unexpected twist, indie stalwarts the Arcade Fire and their disc The Suburbs. All of those categories figure to be close, but the Grammy for Best New Artist appears to be a race between two Canadian heartthrobs: Justin Bieber and Drake, who are the presumptive favorites in a field that also includes Florence and the Machine, Mumford & Sons and Esperanza Spalding. Bieber — who appeared live via satellite from London — couldn’t contain his excitement (or find the right words, for that matter) after learning he’d been nominated, telling the night’s host, LL Cool J, that “It feels amazing … I can’t believe I’m in this position! I don’t know what to say!” Of course, the nominations were just half of the show. In true Grammy tradition, the telecast also featured a host of high-profile performances. Perry kicked things off with a holiday-themed take on “California Gurls” (meaning she wore some ornaments in her hair) and was followed by Bruno Mars, who strummed his way through “Just the Way You Are,” backed by a trilling string section and a pianist. Train performed their massive “Hey, Soul Sister” — which, rather shockingly, was shut out of the Big Four — Bieber reappeared for an acoustic version of “My Favorite Girl,” and Mars teamed up with B.o.B to put a lilting spin on “Nothin’ on You,” which picked up a nomination for Record of the Year.

Kanye West Bests Nicki Minaj In Billboard Battle

Posted on December 1, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Kanye West Bests Nicki Minaj In Billboard Battle

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sold nearly half a million in first week. By Gil Kaufman Kanye West Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images In the end, the chart battle between Kanye West and Nicki Minaj wasn’t much of a contest. In the biggest album release week of the year, Yeezy easily bested the Young Money honey. Preliminary figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan peg his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy debuting with more than 495,000 copies sold compared to 375,000 for Minaj’s long-awaited major-label debut, Pink Friday. Though some questioned Kanye’s decision to leak a song a week in the months leading up to the release of Fantasy, including nearly all of the album’s major tracks, in the end, fans still appear to have come out for the rapper’s fifth studio album. Fantasy matched the #1 debut of Kanye’s previous effort, 2008’s vocal-heavy 808s & Heartbreak, which moved 450,000 copies in its first week. Neither, however, come close to reaching the MC’s chart peak, which he achieved in 2007 with Graduation , which also debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart after selling a whopping 957,000 copies in its first week in the midst of a much-hyped chart battle with 50 Cent’s album Curtis . After more than two years of headline-grabbing guest spots on tracks by everyone from Gucci Mane to Mariah Carey, Trey Songz, Bobby Valentino, Mya, Robin Thicke, Ludacris and, of course, Kanye, anticipation was high for Minaj’s Friday . In the end, Minaj just narrowly missed the record for the best debut album sales by a female rapper, falling a bit short of the mark set by former Fugees member Lauryn Hill in 1998 with her smash hit The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which moved 423,000 copies in its chart bow.

Selena Gomez, Stevie Wonder To Appear At Grammy Nominations Concert

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Selena Gomez, Stevie Wonder To Appear At Grammy Nominations Concert

The pop stars will announce Grammy nominees on Wednesday night’s live CBS special. By Jocelyn Vena Selena Gomez Photo: Toby Canham/ Getty Images LL Cool J will be getting a little help from his friends at the “Grammy Nominations Concert Live” on Wednesday night. CBS has announced that Stevie Wonder and Selena Gomez will be on hand to announce the nominees for the big awards show in 2011. “Selena Gomez & Stevie Wonder headline the presenters for the GRAMMY NOMINATIONS CONCERT LIVE! hosted by LL COOL J on Dec. 1 at 10PM on CBS,” the network tweeted on Monday. The event also will feature performances by a variety of big-name acts, including Justin Bieber, B.o.B, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and Miranda Lambert, during the one-hour show that will go down at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards themselves will air live on CBS from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 13. The concert special will cap off a very busy year for the performers, especially Bieber and Perry , who recently received platinum certifications for their 2010 album releases. Perry picked up a double-platinum honor for her feel-good single “Teenage Dream,” the title track off her most recent album. Bieber earned his first-ever multiplatinum award, as the artists-rights organization RIAA certified sales of his My World 2.0 album at more than 2 million copies. “Baby,” his team-up with Ludacris, also was certified double platinum. Just last Friday, Bieber released a new album, My Worlds Acoustic , to much fanfare. The collection not only features acoustic versions of hits like “Baby,” but also a brand-new track — the inspirational, “Pray.” Who are you most excited to see at the show on Wednesday night?

Weezer Take Fans Down Memory Lane On First Night Of Tour

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Weezer Take Fans Down Memory Lane On First Night Of Tour

Band opens Memories Tour with set of songs from 1994’s Blue Album. By Matt Elias Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo performs in San Francisco on Monday Photo: Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images “You guys ready to take a ride on the Weezer time machine?” shouted Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo as he and his band took the stage at the Nob Hill Masonic Center on the first night of Weezer’s Memories Tour , in San Francisco. Night one was billed as the “Blue” evening, with the band playing its 1994 self-titled debut (a.k.a. the Blue Album ) in its entirety. But there was much more in store for the Weezer faithful than Rivers had clued us in on back in August on the set of the foursome’s “Memories” music video . Before the Blue tunes got under way, the trip down memory lane began with a retrospective set of hits. Kicking things off appropriately with the Hurley single “Memories,” the band worked its way backward through its catalog. Rivers began most of the songs by shouting out the year and the album it was from, trekking all the way back to “Falling for You” from 1996’s Pinkerton. The show itself was loose and fun, with Rivers racing up and down the isles, eventually making his way up to the soundboard on the balcony. By “Pork and Beans,” the fourth song of the 10-song mini-set, Rivers was streaming toilet paper rolls into the crowd and anointing people with water. Although there were 3,000 fans in attendance, Rivers made sure each one felt as if he or she had a front-row seat — and likely gave them a high five too. As the set — which also included “Beverly Hills,” “Keep Fishin’ ” and “Hash Pipe” — wound down, the band broke for intermission. During the break, fans were treated to a treasure trove of artifacts courtesy of Weezer’s resident historian/ photographer/ jack of all trades, Karl Koch. The slide show, narrated by Koch, highlighted Weezer’s early days: a flier from L.A.’s Club Dump (now the Viper Room), an early set list that pretty much would come to be the Blue Album, a photo of the actual garage described in “In the Garage” off the Blue Album (yes, it exists), just to name a few. With intermission over, it was time for the evening’s main course. A simple blue background with the band’s name, similar to the Blue Album cover, replaced the lighted flying W. It was as if the band were saying “let the music speak for itself.” They kept it pretty simple for the Blue Album portion of the night. There were fewer antics — the band were anchored in their positions — but by no means was it a subdued performance. It probably was the most sing-along portion of the night, especially during “Buddy Holly” and “Say It Ain’t So.” At one point during “Surf Wax America,” a fan made his way onstage and mingled with the band. They kept it cool, showing not an ounce of frustration. As the band hammered away onstage, the audience stayed on its feet for the entire night. There was a special feeling in the air, a feeling that you were being treated to a once-in-a-lifetime experience. When it was all over, as the final notes of “Only in Dreams” hung in the air, the band grouped at the foot of the stage and took a simple bow to thunderous applause. A modest gesture to make, but it speaks volumes to the band’s longevity and devoted fanbase. And of course, Rivers couldn’t get away without high-fiving a few fans on his way offstage.

Lady Gaga Urges Continued Support For ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ Repeal

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Lady Gaga Urges Continued Support For ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ Repeal

Gaga posts video message imploring U.S. Senators who have said they would vote for the repeal to ‘please keep your word.’ By Gil Kaufman Lady Gaga Photo: Gabriel Bouys/AFP/Getty Images Lady Gaga has not given up on the drive to repeal the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy barring gays and lesbians from serving openly. As the Democrat-led Congress reconvened on Monday for the lame-duck session before Republicans take over leadership of the House of Representatives in January, Gaga issued a video message urging her fans to keep fighting. “Right now, we’re looking at tomorrow [Tuesday] being a very important day for you guys all to really be paying attention,” she says in the clip, noting that the Senate will begin a repeal hearing soon. The two-minute black-and-white video, which appears to be filmed backstage at a Gaga show, finds the singer sporting a short blonde bob wig, a black leather jacket, animal-print tights and her signature round sunglasses. The Pentagon is slated to release its long-awaited report on the repeal of DADT on Tuesday (November 30). Early leaks of the document show that the majority of troops don’t care about allowing gay and lesbian soldiers to openly serve. Time magazine reported that Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will tell the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday that they’re also ready to lift the 17-year-old ban. A Senate vote on the repeal could come as early as next week, but as Gaga mentioned in her video, if action does not come swiftly during the lame-duck session, the chances of securing a repeal could be lost when Republicans take over control of the House. “Otherwise it could take years for it to happen,” she says. “Social repression is currently running rampant in this country as many of you know. Kids are being led to believe that it’s OK to hate and condemn based on our differences and this recent horrific news of gay suicides is really proof of our social repression and ultimately government repression that is killing our youth. We have to end this law because it reinforces discrimination and it’s setting a bad example.” Gaga has been at the forefront of the fight to repeal DADT, putting the topic on front pages around the world in September when she arrived on the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards accompanied by four gay and lesbian service members who’d been discharged because of the policy. That kicked off a flurry of activity by Lady Gaga over the next few weeks in an attempt to help get the DADT ban overturned before the midterm elections — an effort that ultimately failed due to a Republican filibuster. “We’ve known for many years that an overwhelming majority of Americans are ready to repeal,” she continues in the clip. “Senators, you have been put on notice by me and by the people of this country. You said you would debate and address this law when the Pentagon returned with a strategy and tomorrow morning you will have it. So will you keep your word? Please keep your word.” She then encouraged her Little Monsters to go to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network website to join the fight for repeal and for information on contacting Senators. “As a performer, this issue means so much to me,” she concludes. “And I know sometimes that political activism when you’re a pop singer can be kind of trivial, but in truth I feel very close to all of you and I feel like I share a very special connection with my fans and I feel like I can speak for you, and you’re screaming, ‘Please end this law. Equality for all.’ ” Related Photos The Evolution Of: Lady Gaga Related Artists Lady Gaga

Angelina Jolie Hates Thanksgiving and America

Posted on November 25, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Angelina Jolie Hates Thanksgiving and America

http://www.debbieschlussel.com/29711/bitch-angelina-jolie-thanksgiving-is-story-… Angelina Jolie hates Thanksgiving, which she says is a “story of murder” she refuses to celebrate. Yup, she hates America. Jolie hates Jews and Israel (and attended an Islamic hate-fest), she attacked America for (barely) enforcing immigration laws and compared us to Hitler for it, and she interfered with Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation of illegal alien children, insisting they have lawyers to game the system and stay here ad absurdum. And don’t forget that time when she said she’s “absolutely ashamed” of America. Plus, she loves her some terrorist-host-state Syria. Now, there’s this from AOL News/PopEater reporter Rob Shuter: While everyone is preparing to give thanks tomorrow, one of America’s most famous families, the Jolie-Pitts, have decided to sit this Thanksgiving out. “Angelina Jolie hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like so many other Americans,” a friend of the actress tells me. “To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn’t her style. She definitely doesn’t want to teach her multi-cultural family how to celebrate a story of murder.” Angelina has been filming her directorial debut, about a Serbian man and Bosnian [Muslim] woman who fall in love during the Bosnian War. Angie, always extremely sensitive to the suffering throughout the world, is filming in English and the native languages. “Angelina gets so grossed out by Thanksgiving that she has made sure her family will not be in America this year on Thursday,” an insider tells me. And although Brad Pitt recently told ‘EXTRA,’ “We’ll whip up a turkey somewhere,” he certainly hasn’t shared that plan with Angelina. A family friend tells me, “If Brad wants turkey, he will have to cook it himself. For Angie, it will be another day when America tries to rewrite history.” She has compared Americans to Nazis for trying to enforce immigration law and have secure borders. And she praised Palestinian children for singing about killing Jews to “get our revenge.” This is pretty consistent with that. And it’s irrelevant that Brad Jolie-Pitt said they’ll “whip up a turkey”? As we all know, he’s the chick in this relationship and really doesn’t have a thing to say about it. Jolie refuses to celebrate Thanksgiving, feels it’s a “story of murder.” Yet, oddly, she and Mr. Pitt have not relinquished their homes on Native American soil back to the Indians and given all of their money to the victims. They’re just not cooking a turkey. Ya know who the real turkeys are? Americans who continue to make this couple of America-hating hypocrites rich by going to their movies and buying into their BS. added by: crystalman

Kanye West Performs Rousing ‘Lost In The World’ At Thanksgiving Day Parade

Posted on November 25, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Kanye West Performs Rousing ‘Lost In The World’ At Thanksgiving Day Parade

Despite appearing to be lip-synching, rapper delivers spirited performance at annual Macy’s event. By Alvin Blanco Kanye West (file) Photo: Ben Hider/Getty Images The Kanye West promo march continues, so naturally the Chicago rapper took his show to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Amidst marching bands and balloon versions of Kermit the Frog, SpongeBob SquarePants and Spider-Man, Yeezy performed a rousing though shortened rendition of “Lost in the World” from his just-released fifth album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. As more than two million people lined the parade route and millions more watched from home, West performed in front of Macy’s flagship location near Manhattan’s Herald Square on 34th Street at around 11:20 a.m. West kicked his verse from “Lost in the World” along with its chorus atop the Big Apple float, which was adorned with a giant apple and a New York taxicab coming out of a tunnel below it. Wearing a long fur vest, leather pants and a gold V-neck shirt, West delivered a spirited performance despite the fact that he appeared to be lip-synching. Interestingly, Matt Lauer was one of the NBC broadcast’s hosts of the parade. Lauer interviewed West during his infamous appearance on the “Today” show that led the rapper to cancel a scheduled performance on the program. West also compared Lauer to a child abuser during a speech at his not-so-secret show at New York’s Bowery Ballroom on Tuesday night. Nevertheless, it was Lauer who introduced West. Other performers at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade included the casts of the Broadway musicals “Memphis” and “Elf,” Jimmy Fallon with the Roots, folk singer Arlo Guthrie and Keri Hilson, who performed on the My Princess Academy float.

Emma Stone Is The Actress We’re Most Thankful For In 2010

Posted on November 24, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Emma Stone Is The Actress We’re Most Thankful For In 2010

With winning turn in ‘Easy A,’ ‘Spider-Man’ casting and ‘SNL’ hosting gig, the 22-year-old has had quite a year. By Eric Ditzian Emma Stone Photo: Fotonoticias/Getty Images As MTV News’ Thankful Week draws to a close, we begin to cast our gaze away from the big screen and towards tables soon to be the scene of turkey-crazed feasts. But we have one last honor to bestow: the actress we’re most thankful for in 2010. The winner is none other than Emma Stone, a move that completes a nifty “Spider-Man” double win, as we also honored Andrew Garfield — who’s stepping into the role of Peter Parker — as the actor we’re most thankful for this year. Stone won the part of Gwen Stacy in October, capping a stellar year for the 22-year-old. From the top-notch teenage rom-com “Easy A” to her “Saturday Night Live” hosting gig to the opportunity to shoot flicks opposite the likes of Steve Carell (“Crazy, Stupid, Love”) and Justin Timberlake (“Friends With Benefits”), Stone was already having a great 2010. Then “Spider-Man” director Marc Webb came calling. Her life is never going to be the same — and she couldn’t be more excited. The always-energetic actress called up MTV News in the midst of “Spider-Man” preproduction to talk about what a surreal year it’s been and how she’s dealing with the pressures of taking on the iconic Marvel series. MTV : Thanks for calling up to chat. Emma Stone : Thank you for having me! MTV : Well, you’re going to be very excited in a second. Stone : What is it? What’s it going to be? You like how I’m excited at the mere mention that I’m going to be excited? MTV : Uh-oh, I really have to come through now. Look out your window — there’s a blimp with your face on it! Stone : Oh my god, it’s so beautiful, I’m looking right now! You wanna know what’s really insane about that? I actually pulled back the curtain and looked at the sky. MTV : I’m sorry to disappoint, but I can tell you that every year we honor various people we’re thankful for, and this year you’re the woman we’re most thankful for. Stone : Oh my god, shut up! Get out of here! I prepared a 10-minute speech, is that OK? MTV : I’m afraid we don’t have enough time. You know, the man we’re most thankful for this year is your “Spider-Man” co-star Andrew Garfield. Stone : Hey, I know that guy! We’ve met. He’s the worst! MTV : I won’t tell him you said that. It has been quite a year for you. “Easy A” gets a great reaction, you’re shooting movies with people like Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling, you host “Saturday Night Live,” and then you land “Spider-Man.” Does 2010 feel like a landmark year? Stone : It feels kind of scary saying this because that means it’s only downhill, but it’s been the best year of my life. Not just with how lucky I’ve been work-wise, but with my family and friends. I’m totally terrified for 2011. I have such a disaster mentality, it’s not even funny. MTV : Which raises the question, are you ready for something as big as “Spider-Man”? Can you ever be ready for something like that? Stone : The way I have to approach it, and I think Andrew would agree, is just like any other movie. You’re going to put the same amount of focus into this that you would with anything. It just happens to be an exponentially bigger budget. So there’s that. It’ll probably feel different when we start to do press, but we won’t have to deal with that for another year and a half. And there are harnesses I’m going to have to use in this one. That’s the only difference: just the harnesses. MTV : Seriously, though, it’s been quite a year for you with onscreen love interests. The women in the office are jealous — Penn Badgley, Timberlake, Gosling, Garfield. You’re a lucky woman … Stone : What can I say? You cannot compare them. They are so wonderful in their own ways. Again, it’s been an amazing year. MTV : Has there been one surreal point in particular that kind of encapsulates 2010 for you? Stone : Hosting “Saturday Night Live.” That’s always been my ultimate dream. That moment before you come out those doors when Don Pardo says your name and you’re standing there … I had never let myself imagine what that would feel like. That moment when you walk through those doors was probably the most surreal moment, not just of this year, but ever. MTV : So you guys are in rehearsals for “Spider-Man,” right? What is that process like at this point? Stone : Today I went and did hair tests, because I have blonde hair now since Gwen has blonde hair. My natural hair is blonde, so it’s kind of nice. I looked in the mirror and said, “Oh my god, it’s me again, it’s been so long!” We’re finalizing the visual stuff. And I think we’ll start actually rehearsing, because we start shooting in two weeks. Andrew and I went and learned about science yesterday. Gwen really likes science, so we learned about science. I was homeschooled, so I never went to chemistry class in a traditional setting like Gwen is into. That was really beneficial. MTV : There seemed to be so much competition for the role of Gwen Stacy. Do you ever think, “Why me?” What do you think won you the part? Stone : I ask myself that question every day. I have no f—ing idea. It’s the most amazing idea, I can’t even tell you. I don’t think I ever will figure out how it happened. It’s been mind-blowing. I know things will eventually change, so I’m just trying to avoid thinking about it and just enjoy it while it’s happening. Ugh, what am I even saying? Don’t write any of that down! Thanksgiving is a time for taking stock, expressing gratitude and, most importantly, overeating. We at MTV News have been gorging all year at movie theaters, so it’s about time we looked back and gave thanks to our favorite actors and filmmakers of 2010. Enjoy exclusive interviews with our winners all week long. Check out everything we’ve got on “Spider-Man.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Black Eyed Peas Plan Stadium-Heavy 2011 Tour

Posted on November 23, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Black Eyed Peas Plan Stadium-Heavy 2011 Tour

Group may hit the road ‘after February,’ will.i.am tells Billboard. By Mawuse Ziegbe Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am Photo: David Livingston/Getty Images The Black Eyed Peas are planning to rock as many bodies as possible when they hit the road next year, so they’re hoping to pack their trek into massive venues around the world. Peas frontman will.i.am told Billboard that the foursome’s recent South American gigs will be the blueprint for filling the seats in stadiums across the globe. “South America was a test,” he said. “We did all our homework … to try to figure out how we can do stadiums in other countries, in America, in Europe. If Black Eyed Peas can do five O2 arenas, why don’t we just do it in one shot? If we can do three Staples Centers, we should do one Dodgers Stadium. So that’s how we’ll probably tour this time around.” “The Time (Dirty Bit)” MC said rocking to the collective’s pop smashes with thousands of other revelers is the best way to experience the Peas live. “It’s like you’re there with all your friends. You’re there in front of 50,000 people and they’re there to watch you and your friends,” he said. “Nothing gets any better than that. It’s the best feeling, the best one yet.” The band is expected to get in some practice hitting the stage for a major crowd at the top of next year. Sources have revealed that the Peas will helm halftime-show festivities at the Super Bowl , which often draws over 100 million viewers. Will’s comment that the hitmaking quartet won’t launch their global stadium takeover until “after February,” the same month the Super Bowl airs, is perhaps a hint that the Peas will be throwing down at the football-fest. The Peas’ sixth record, The Beginning, is slated to be released November 30. Are you looking forward to checking out the Black Eyes Peas on tour? Let us know in the comments!
