Kim Kardashian Upset About Naked W Photos

Posted on January 31, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘This is serious porn,’ she says on ‘Kourtney & Kim Take New York.’ By Jocelyn Vena Kim Kardashian on the cover of W Photo: W Last October, Kim Kardashian had everyone drooling over her assets when she appeared nude on the cover of W magazine , leaving basically nothing to the imagination. On Sunday night’s new episode of “Kourtney & Kim Take New York,” months after the cover hit stands, fans saw the reality starlet open up about the shoot — and she was not at all happy about it. “I was naked, but fully covered in silver paint,” she said in the episode about the Mark Seliger photos, according to the Hollywood Reporter . “This artist will put images of architecture and buildings and stuff on top of me so you will see my body shape and the outline, but not actually my boobs or anything.” Talking to her sister, Kim, in tears, added, “I’m more naked here than I was in my Playboy (in 2007). I’m so f—ing mad right now. … She promised I would be covered with artwork . … This is serious porn … you can see nipple.” She added that she was told “nothing would be seen. I feel so taken advantage of. I’ve definitely learned my lesson.” After seeing the photos, Kardashian made a pledge: “I’m never taking my clothes off again, even if it’s for Vogue .” For those who missed the episode, the reality starlet initially cries over the W mag cover before mom-ager Kris Jenner helps her conclude that she’s helping women and that the cover is artful. Despite her claims that she wouldn’t go nude again, even for Anna Wintour, she later jokes that she might — if Vogue calls. While she seemed very upset about the photos, when Kardashian chatted with Ryan Seacrest later on, it seemed that the shock had worn off. “At the end of the day, they are gorgeous photos, and I’m glad I did it, and I love them. But at the time, I was shocked about how they weren’t how I thought they would be,” she noted. What did you think of Kim’s W cover? Sound off below! Related Photos The Evolution Of: Kim Kardashian

Will Madonna Tour With Cast Of ‘Glee’?

Posted on January 31, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Material Girl’s rep shoots down rumors she’ll hit the road with cast of the Fox hit show. By Jocelyn Vena Madonna Photo: PictureGroup/ Evan Agostini Last year, “Glee” aired a Madonna -centric episode featuring the mega-star’s music, but does that mean that Madge is ready to hit the road with the cast of the hit Fox show? According to some rumors, the answer is yes. The News of the World reported that Madge was eyeing Lea Michele, Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison as prospective tourmates, according to Metro.co.uk. “Madonna wants to break records and make her career bigger than ever,” the source said. “And because the ‘Glee’ episode featuring her music was such a hit, there are plans for the cast to appear.” The insider continued that the rumored tour is meant to represent Madonna ushering in the next era of her career, which she plans to spend behind the scenes. “She is in amazing shape for her age,” the source said. “But this could be her last big world tour she does for a while as she wants to concentrate on business ventures.” The problem is that none of this is real, according to a rep for the singer who told MTV News that the rumors are not true. Last April, “Glee” paid homage to the Material Girl in their “Power of Madonna” episode. And the episode, which covered such Madonna classics as “Ray of Light,” “Express Yourself,” “Vogue,” “Like a Virgin” and “Like a Prayer,” to name a few, got the thumbs up from the star. “I think Mr. Schuester is very cute,” Madonna said in a statement, referring to Matthew Morrison, who plays the glee-club instructor on the hit Fox show. “And I’m glad he’s doing such a good job empowering all the girls.” Related Artists Madonna

Jennifer Lopez Appreciates Steven Tyler’s ‘Zaniness’ On ‘American Idol’

Posted on January 27, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

J.Lo also considers performing with fellow new judge if it’s ‘the right song.’ By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez on “American Idol” Photo: FOX Jennifer Lopez feels really at home as one of the new faces of “American Idol.” But Lopez isn’t the only new kid on the “Idol” block: Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is also just getting his feet wet, and fans are getting used to his wacky judging style. And J.Lo appreciates her fellow judge’s “zaniness,” as she called it. “He’s a very spontaneous person in that sense,” she told MTV News. “You never know what’s going to come out of his mouth, [and] probably half the show is me kind of looking at him like, ‘What? Did he just say what I think he just said?’ It’s very funny, but I enjoy every second of it — every second of the zaniness and craziness. You never know with him, and it’s awesome.” Lopez said “Idol” executive producer Nigel Lythgoe approached her and Tyler about hitting the stage together during one of the live shows, and she’s considering the idea. “He was like, ‘You know, I’d love for you to perform,’ ” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘We’ll see. You know the single [ “On the Floor” ] is actually coming out soon.’ And he was like, ‘I’d love for you to perform with Steven.’ “It could be so fun,” she continued. “And Steven and I have a real love for each other. We really respect each other, [but it has to be] the right song, the right moment. It could be good.” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

Morocco Elijah Tyson was born in Nevada on Tuesday, boxer confirms. By Jocelyn Vena Mike Tyson Photo: Michael Tran/ FilmMagic Babies, babies and more babies. Mike Tyson joins the new-baby club after it was announced on Wednesday that the boxer and his wife Lakiha Spicer Tyson welcomed a son.

It’s the second child for the couple, who already have a daughter, Milan, 2. Tyson and his wife married in June 2009 in Las Vegas. The wedding came less than two weeks after Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter Exodus died as a result of an accidental strangling when she was ensnared in a treadmill power cable at the family’s home in Phoenix. “I’m just looking forward to trying to do this stuff right. Of course, you know, you — I want to do it right. I’ve been married — this is my third marriage. I want to do it right. I want to do it right,” he told Larry King about his family life . “It’s nothing like being a committed father. You have to be committed and dedicated. This is going to be something new on me, to be totally committed and dedicated to this situation.” In the same CNN interview, the boxing legend spoke about the loss of his daughter, Exodus, and how it affected him as a parent. “I had to grow up,” he said. “I had an incident where I lost my daughter in some family accident at home and it was just a time to grow up and wake up.” Share your well-wishes for the Tyson family in the comments below.

Ke$ha Pokes Fun At Disney In New Funny Or Die Clip

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Pop singer plays a dirty Disney princess in online parody. By Jocelyn Vena Ke$ha in Funny or Die’s “Disney’s Princess Ke$ha” video Photo: Funny Or Die Ever wonder what it would be like if Disney gave Ke$ha her very own movie? Well wonder no more, since the folks over at Funny or Die have dreamed up a new Ke$ha-starring satire, “Disney’s Princess Ke$ha.” The clip opens with Ke$ha in a castle bedroom addressing her animated pals, complaining about her alarm clock waking her up. “Oh that clock. What a killjoy,” she says as she stares out of her window in the castle tower. Just as she begins singing a very Disney melody, she proclaims it “gross” and says “f— it,” before kicking off a signature Ke$ha-style tune, complete with her rap-sing style and club-ready beat. “Time to get the day going/ Dress it up to the nines/ Yo, critter crew/ Make Princess Ke$ha look fine,” she sings. “Add a little pinch of magic from my fairy-tale life and off we go.” Then she goes into the chorus: “I’m getting ready so nice / I’m getting customized.” The pop star is later catapulted into the real world. In an alley, she meets up with an animated rat, a pumpkin and a cross-dressing hobo fairy godmother. The rat and pumpkin are transformed into a shopping cart and a man who take off with Ke$ha. This is the singer’s second appearance on the site. Last November she appeared in a clip where she jokingly explained “The Story of the $.” “I used to be Kesha with an S, instead of a dollar sign, and then one year I had my birthday party at Shakey’s Pizza,” she said in the clip. “On the sign, the big sign where they write ‘Happy birthday,’ they replaced the S with a dollar sign. It ruined my life. I wanted to be a CPA, but you know who H&R Block doesn’t hire? People with dollar signs in their name. I pretty much had to be a pop star.” What do you think of Ke$ha’s latest Funny or Die video? Tell us in the comments! Related Artists Ke$ha

Jennifer Lopez Calls ‘American Idol’ A ‘Natural, Fun Experience’

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘We’re not just phoning it in,’ J.Lo tells MTV News of her and fellow rookie judge Steven Tyler. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Jennifer Lopez Photo: MTV News It’s week two of the “American Idol” season 10, and new judge Jennifer Lopez is feeling good about her decision to join the show. When MTV News caught up with the pop star on the set of her “On the Floor” music video , she said her “Idol” plan is to stay relaxed and be herself. “I’m so happy that everybody’s loving the show,” she said. “I feel very grateful about that, but I really just wanted to be myself, and I think Steven [Tyler] the same thing. We sat down there and it wasn’t like, ‘What are we going to do?’ It was like, ‘You be you.’ I think that’s why they chose us.” Lopez has some theories about why she and the Aerosmith frontman make good “Idol” judges. “They knew that he was a good person [and] I was a good person. He was an interesting person. I had my things about me that they felt were interesting. They knew what they were doing,” she said. “That’s why they came to us.” So is she having fun? “It’s just been a very natural, fun experience for us, and I think that’s what’s coming across. But we’re also very serious about what we’re doing, and I think people get that too. Like, we’re not just phoning it in. We actually care about this, we care about the process, we care about music, we care about artists, and you’re getting all that,” she said. “And that’s pretty much how we handle it every day. I’m having a good time.” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

‘Skins’ Stars Say Despite Kissing Tony, Tea Still A Lesbian

Posted on January 25, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Sofia Black-D’Elia and James Newman talk about characters’ attraction. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Adam Murphy Sofia Black D’Elia (Tea) Photo: Jason Nacito On Monday night’s episode of “Skins,” Tea made it abundantly clear that she’s a lesbian. Even though she kissed a certain male friend in her clique, the make-out session only proved to her what she already knew. Sofia Black-D’Elia , who plays Tea, and James Newman, who plays Tony (the center of Tea’s affections for a hot minute), told MTV News the kiss wasn’t a case of the show backing out on the lesbian plotline. “They’re kind of brought together by this attraction, and I don’t think it’s necessarily a sexual attraction,” Newman explained. “I think it’s a situation where you have these two people who are very bored, with no one in their lives that really gets them, and on that level, it’s like a perfect attraction. “But on another level, it’s a disaster because Tea’s a lesbian. It’s not a situation where it’s like she’s a lesbian and then she finds a guy and is like, ‘I’m not a lesbian anymore.’ She really is a lesbian, and so for her it doesn’t work, and for Tony, that in and of itself tortures him.” The kiss not only teaches the characters a lot about themselves, but also shows viewers the multiple sides each of these characters possess. “Tony is the manipulator; he’s the ringleader. By episode two, his vulnerabilities start to show, which is really interesting to think because it’s the other side of Tony that was missing for me,” Black-D’Elia explained. “Why should you care about this guy? He’s an ass. I think as soon as episode two is over, you kind of have this very strong love for him. He’s got more of a heart going on than he’d like to put out.” Don’t miss “Skins,” airing Mondays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Related Photos Skins | Cast Photos | Tony Skins | Cast Photos | Tea

Elton John Reveals What He Would Have Changed About ‘American Idol’

Posted on January 25, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Let’s have bands, let’s have songwriters, let’s change the format a little,’ he tells MTV News of what he would have shaken up as a judge. By Kara Warner Elton John Photo: MTV News Now that “American Idol” has kicked off its 10th season with a bright, shiny new group of judges, it’s almost hard to remember that chaotic time over the summer when the fate of the panel was in limbo — back when Jessica Simpson, Justin Timberlake and Elton John were all rumored to be in consideration. When MTV News caught up with Sir Elton recently as he promoted the upcoming animated film “Gnomeo & Juliet,” for which John composed original songs, we asked if he’ll be making any appearances on “Idol” this season. “I don’t know if you’ll see me on this season,” he said. “But you won’t see me judging, obviously! But I don’t know if I’m going to be on it. They’ve always been very, very generous to the AIDS Foundation,” John said of the “Idol Gives Back” charity show. “I’m very, very grateful. They’ve been helpful to us. I don’t know if I’m going to be on or not. I can’t answer that question.” With regard to fellow Brit and former “Idol” judge Simon Cowell’s “X Factor,” however, John brightened a bit when we asked what he thinks of it and how well it will do in the U.S. ” ‘X Factor’ is going to be a huge show,” John said. “It’s going to be huge, because you can have bands on there, and that’s one thing I wanted to change, if I had been on ‘American Idol,’ ” he revealed. “Get away from the solo stuff. Let’s have bands, let’s have writers, let’s have songwriters, let’s change the format a little, and that’s why ‘X Factor’ is going to do so well, because it’s a different lineup. You can have bands and groups. That’s more interesting I think.” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

‘Skins’ Cast Previews ‘Tea’ Episode

Posted on January 25, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘She’s very put together and then kind of falls apart,’ Sofia Black-D’Elia, who plays the gay teen, teases of Monday’s episode airing at 10 p.m. on MTV. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Adam Murphy Sofia Black-D’Elia as Tea in MTV’s “Skins” Photo: MTV Last week’s “Skins” premiere focused on smooth-talking womanizer Tony. This week, episode two of the MTV drama will focus on Tea, played by Sofia Black-D’Elia . Tea is a gay teen, who is unapologetic about who she is but gets rattled when she realizes she might not have it all figured out. And fans will learn even more about the character on Monday night (January 24). “Tea is so strong, I love that about her,” Daniel Flaherty, who plays bumbling Stanley, told MTV News. “She’s strong in the way that she doesn’t care what anybody thinks about her and that confidence is really awesome in the show, especially to people who are gay or lesbian. Just to have that confidence is so great and the way [D’Elia] portrays it is amazing. She’s such a good actress.” But Flaherty also noted that while the character is confident, she can also be hard to get. “It’s so confusing because she has all this confidence and she’s in high school and then all of a sudden it just hits you in the face and everything changes and you’re like, ‘Whoa where’d that come from?’ ” he teased. “I feel like Tea’s so strong, but at the same time very lost because she’s still growing up. She wants to be different and she’s confident in that difference. She confuses me the most. You never know what’s going to happen with her.” Black-D’Elia described her character, Tea, this way: “She’s an extremely confident girl. She’s openly gay, very self-assured. Thinks she knows who she is, but realizes she doesn’t, like most teenagers. She’s flawed. She makes mistakes but I think the biggest issue she faces is owning up to them. She’s very put together and then kind of falls apart.” Don’t miss “Skins” airing Mondays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Related Videos Skins | Ep. 2 | Sneak Peek Related Photos Skins | Cast Photos | Tea

Kim Kardashian Says She Gives Up The Glam In Hype Williams Video

Posted on January 20, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Reality starlet tells MTV News veteran video director focused on Kim ‘the artist’ for upcoming ‘Turn It Up’ clip. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Christina Garibaldi Kourtney and Kim Kardashian Photo: Devan Pratt/ MTV News Kim Kardashian is pretty clear about her music career: It’s a one-song deal. Even so, the project is already high-profile, with everyone from Kanye West to The-Dream to music-video maven Hype Williams playing some role in the creation of Kim Kardashian, pop star. And with the song, “Turn It Up,” gaining lots of buzz, fans of the reality starlet are eager to hear the full single and see how the video turns out. From the looks of things, her “one song” idea could wind up being bigger than she envisioned. MTV News caught up with Kim on Wednesday and she revealed some details about the upcoming video. “Hype Williams directed the video. It is so crazy,” she teased. “I mean his looks that he put me in [are crazy]. He really had say in what he wanted, I guess, [for what] Kim ‘the artist’ that I was playing in this role would look like, as opposed to the everyday glam Kim that you’re used to seeing. So, it was really fun to play dress up and have all these other looks that I never really tried before.” Big sis Kourtney was at Kim’s side during the shoot, giving props to her “Kourtney & Kim Take New York” co-star. “Love it! And I was there with her throughout the whole process, which was fun,” Kourtney told us. “Going to the studio and, you know, just everything we did. It was a really fun process.” Kim has been reluctant to give up info about the song, but a source recently told MTV News that the song is a club joint. It’s like “back-in-the-day Jennifer Lopez … a little bit of a Jennifer Lopez feel. It’s totally a dance song,” the source explained. “It’s good and it definitely sounds like [Kim] in my mind. You know it’s her voice. She definitely can sing.” Are you looking forward to Kim’s first official music video release? Tell us in the comments!
