Actress plays a ‘practical, salt-of-the-earth’ character in ‘We Bought a Zoo.’ By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Scarlett Johansson in “We Bought A Zoo” Photo: Twentieth Century Fox Anyone who has followed Scarlett Johansson ‘s career will agree that she carved out a niche for herself early with several roles as “the fantasy girl.” Those looking for that side of Johansson might be disappointed to learn that there is nothing “forced sexy” about her character in her latest film, “We Bought a Zoo.” When MTV News caught up with Johansson recently, we asked if it was refreshing to play “normal” and not have to appear scantily clad at any point in “Zoo.” “Yes, that’s always refreshing. It means you can eat more,” Johansson joked about remaining fully clothed. “For me, one of the big draws of the film was exactly that. It was the fact that I was not playing the girl who is always bridesmaid never a bride, or looking for a husband, or the other woman — none of those things. She’s a very practical, salt-of-the-earth, rounded, motivated, independent woman. I find as I get older, it’s nice to move away from the ing
Pop star made history in 2011 with chart-topping hits that empowered fans. By Jocelyn Vena Katy Perry Photo: Getty Images In 2011, no one shined as brightly as Katy Perry. It’s hard to think back on the past 12 months without getting one of her songs stuck in your head. As MTV’s Artist of the Year , Katy found success by unapologetically being herself. She sang about aliens, her foggy memories of house parties, lost love, true love, being yourself and everything in between. It’s easy for fans to connect to Perry and her music: She’s an open book. And in 2011, she turned a few more pages. Riding high off the success of 2010’s Teenage Dream, Perry didn’t rest on her laurels. Instead, she set the bar even higher by hitting the road on the California Dreams Tour, where night after night, decked out in candy-colored clothes, she belted out her greatest hits and empowered her fans with tracks like “Firework.” That anthem, originally released late last year, became so ubiquitous this year that it finds itself at #10 on MTV’s Best Songs of 2011 list. Visually, she always wanted to keep us guessing. She continually made music videos that were cinematic, tickling our funny bones at times (see: “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” ) and leaving us nostalgic at others (see: “The One That Got Away” ). In August, she took home the VMA for Video of the Year for — you guessed it — “Firework.” Perry told the audience at the show, “I feel like I am doing something right when I sing that song. So thanks to everyone who helped to create it.” That same night, she also nabbed the Moonman for Best Collaboration for her Kanye West-assisted track, “E.T.” Perry is one of the new millennium’s biggest pop stars, and she matched some of pop’s greatest icons on the charts this year. She tied Billboard records previously held by Michael Jackson and later one held by Janet Jackson and George Michael by having so many hit singles off one album. But we weren’t just talking about Perry’s music this year. She made us giggle with an LOL-worthy hosting stint on “SNL” and made her big-screen debut voicing the iconic Smurfette in “The Smurfs.” Offscreen, she’s proved to be the kind of girl that can laugh off rumors that she’s pregnant and getting divorced . She’s loud, cool and a real girl’s girl. It’s no easy task to sum up Katy Perry’s year. And all those accomplishments make it clear that she’s our girl. What would 2011 have been without Katy? It’s a 2011 we want nothing to do with. Stick with MTV as we count down the Best of 2011 , including the top Artists , Songs , Live Performances and EDM Artists of the year.

Not only does crime pay, it saves too! A New Jersey man’s huge wad of cash kept a bullet from ripping into his thigh. But it wasn’t all good luck for Jaquan Taylor, 21, of Paterson — who had a $3,400 bankroll in his pocket — after cops allegedly found heroin and pot in his jacket, leading to his arrest for possession with intent to distribute.

Venus Williams’ lil tatas were almost put on full blast this weekend: Venus Williams almost had a Janet Jackson moment during a good-natured exhibition match against Italian tennis player Flavia Pennetta in Milan. The left strap on one of Venus’ self-designed eleVen dresses snapped during the match, almost exposing some extra skin to the assembled crowd. Like a seasoned fashion veteran, the elder Williams sister managed to cover up the problem and coolly walked off the court to change outfits. When she returned, she brought some popcorn for Pennetta, who had been forced to wait out the literal changeover. Nice save Venus…but we’re sure one of you pervs would have hoped it popped all the way out. Source
Heavy D’s family has released a statement concerning the death of the rap legend. The statement reads as follows: Hev had great love for his family and friends; he was a kind and giving spirit who extended and shared himself with everyone who crossed his path. He had a heart of gold, was approachable, very personable and gave of himself willingly and unconditionally. Though Hev will most notably be remembered for his work both behind-the-scenes and in the forefront, he will always be remembered by us as a generous soul who remained humble and unselfish till his final days. Out of all Hev’s successes and accomplishments, in his eyes, his most important triumph was that of becoming a father. Hev’s love for his daughter Xea was profound — she was the center of his life, his heart, his soul. He often said “I cannot live without her and that she embodied every phenomenal attribute that he brought to this world.” The name and the success of Heavy D will always be synonymous with music forever. He never compromised his values and artistry, and encouraged his peers to do the same. To us, Hev was the one who made us laugh, cry, sing, dance and turn a frown upside down. As a family, we are devastated by Hev’s passing but through our faith in God and support from family, friends and fans, we are comforted, blessed and will remain strong. His “bear hugs” are going to be deeply missed. –The Myers Family RELATED: Pete Rock On Heavy D: “I Feel Like He’s Gonna Call Me Any Second” Heavy D Funeral Services Set For Nov. 18 In Mt.
