Brandon Routh and Anna Kendrick

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World costars Brandon Routh and Anna Kendrick get their coffee to go Thursday, strolling around Toronto before the film#39;s Canadian premiere. Actor BRANDON ROUTH had no problems with the stunts on new movie SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD – because his daredevil antics for SUPERMAN RETURNS were much scarier. The star plays an evil ex-boyfriend of Mary Elizabeth Winstead#39;s character in the comic book-inspired movie and was required to fly through the air with a guitar. B

M.I.A. Says She Has ‘The Perfect Song For Jay-Z’

‘I really want to produce for him,’ she tells MTV News. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Akshay Bhansali M.I.A. Photo: MTV News Last month, Jay-Z jumped on a remix of M.I.A.’s “XXXO,” the first single from her upcoming ///Y/&#92 album. And though they’d worked together in the past, on the epic posse cut “Swagga Like Us,” it was a move that surprised a whole lot of people — M.I.A. included. “I was really surprised he liked ‘XXXO,’ actually. And I was really surprised he liked the version that’s on the album, and not Blaqstarr’s version, which is more … sort of urban sounding,” she told MTV News. “It was interesting he liked the one with the crazy synths and stuff. It’s more sort of [an] electro vibe … and his verse is so great. It was good to hear him say the word ‘metrosexual.’ ” And with the Jiggafied “XXXO” remix now in the bag, M.I.A. is looking to return the favor. When we caught up with her recently , she was itching to talk about a song she’s been keeping just for Jay — a tune she had originally intended for ///Y/&#92 but one she scrapped at the last second. “I really want to produce for him. … I have got the perfect song for Jay-Z!” she smiled. “In fact, that’s the best one that I had for my album which never made it. [It was] the first song I was really into and the song that actually made my album go in the direction it did, [but it] never actually made the album. But I want to give it to [Jay-Z], because I think it suits him more. It’s insane. He’s never done anything like that.” M.I.A. wouldn’t divulge just what the mysterious song sounded like — or why she left it off her album — but she hinted that it’s pretty out there, pushing the envelope even further than the pneumatically enhanced “Steppin’ Up,” which she debuted on her Neet Recordings blog a few weeks back. “Oh, it’s way more insane [than ‘Steppin’ Up’],” she said. “But [it’s] in the same ballpark.” Would you like to hear a Jay-Z track produced by M.I.A.?

What Do ‘Eclipse’ Stars Have Lined Up Before ‘Breaking Dawn’?

We have all the dirt on the ‘Twilight Saga’ cast’s downtime — or lack thereof. By Kara Warner Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/ WireImage With their major promotional duties over, and the record-breaking “Eclipse” in no need of any more star power, it stands to reason that the film’s castmembers should be getting ready for some well-deserved rest and relaxation before heading back to work on “Breaking Dawn” in the fall. That’s not the case, however, as many of the popular young actors are very much in demand for film studios and audiences alike at the moment. Here’s a look at what the “Eclipse”ters are up to in their “Twilight” downtime. Taylor Lautner Taylor Lautner is in Pittsburgh filming “Abduction,” alongside Sigourney Weaver and Lily Collins, directed by John Singleton. “It’s a very real action-thriller,” Lautner told MTV News at the “Eclipse” premiere in L.A. “[It has a] great story, great cast and I start in, like, three days.” Robert Pattinson Robert Pattinson has been shooting the book-to-screen adaptation “Water for Elephants,” in which he plays a college dropout who becomes an animal caretaker for a traveling circus in the 1930s. Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz co-star. In addition to cutting his famous shaggy locks for the role, Pattinson told MTV News he’s picked up some coordination during filming. “I’ve become a little less mal-coordinated in the last couple years,” he said. “[The film has] quite a few active bits. I’m pulling around horses and stuff, and I was like, ‘When have I suddenly become capable?’ ” Kristen Stewart Kristen Stewart will be busy with “On the Road,” co-starring “Tron: Legacy” star Garret Hedlund. Stewart recently told MTV News that she’s excited to work with Hedlund. “I’ve met him a bunch of times and hung out with him twice. He’s a great guy,” she said. “He’s written crazy stuff for it. He’s so in character right now. He’s driving to Montreal [for filming]. He’s awesome. I’m really excited.” Anna Kendrick Acclaimed “Up in the Air” star Anna Kendrick (a.k.a. Jessica) next appears in “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” and an untitled Seth Rogen comedy, but a role Kendrick is dying for is a part in the upcoming “Hobbit,” which she revealed to MTV News at the “Eclipse” premiere. “Believe me, I spend many nights wondering that,” Kendrick said when asked if there might be a role in the upcoming Tolkien adaptation. “This is officially my feeler!” Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz Other busy bees include Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz. Greene will appear in “Apparition” opposite Sebastian Stan and Tom Felton, recently wrapped “Butter” with Jennifer Garner and Hugh Jackman, and also has the action/sport film “Warrior” on her slate, opposite her “Twilight” sibling. Lutz, in addition to “Warrior,” is off kicking butt in Tarsem Singh’s Greek gods-centric epic “Immortals,” opposite Samuel L. Jackson, Freida Pinto, Isabel Lucas and Mickey Rourke.

Katy Perry’s ‘California Gurls’ Video: Check Out Exclusive Sketches!

Director Mathew Cullen reveals eye-popping artwork used to create Katy Perry’s Candyfornia. By James Montgomery Concept art for Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” Photo: Matthew Cullen In the past, Mathew Cullen has run into some problems when it came to directing big-budget videos … namely, too many voices, too many people trying to tell him what he could (or couldn’t) do. Suffice to say, he didn’t have that problem on the set of Katy Perry’s “California Gurls.” “I definitely can say that was not the case with this one,” Cullen laughed. “It was very collaborative, no one said no to anything. And Katy, well, she was great. I’ve never met anyone who worked harder or was more committed to making a great video.” But make no mistake about it: Cullen was prepared to push Perry. As these exclusive concept sketches prove — Cullen emailed a batch to MTV News on Wednesday — he was bursting with ideas for the “Gurls” video, from wild costumes to eye-popping candy-colored sets. Not only was KP game to try them all, but the entire “Gurls” team was too. “Her main stylist coordinated a huge team of people to help make the costumes. Diesel was a part of it, designers in New York too. Every single piece of clothing was custom,” the director said. “And then we had [the painter] Will Cotton, whose work was a big inspiration on the look of the video, working as the artistic director. Everyone came together and worked very hard, because we all wanted to create something that captured her voice as an artist and celebrated her personality.” Perry was so committed to the project that she threw some ideas of her own into the mix — the whole “chest-mounted frosting cannons” thing was all her. And she put in overtime to ensure the clip would be impressive. In fact, the entire thing worked so well that Cullen only wishes the video could’ve been longer. After all, some of his clever ideas didn’t even make the final cut. “[Perry] worked 19 to 20 hour days, and only slept four to five hours in between. So, over 48 hours, she was awake for nearly 40. And it was amazing, really,” Cullen said. “She was ready to work, and wanted the video to be great. It’s too bad we had to edit it down though. We had a lot of ideas, and what’s in the video is only a fraction of them.” What’s your favorite part of the “California Gurls” video? Let us know in the comments!

Eminem Says ‘Slim Shady’ Wasn’t Right for Recovery

But Em assures fans that his rowdy alter ego isn’t going anywhere: ‘Shady still exists.’ By Mawuse Ziegbe Eminem Photo: Robyn Beck/ AFP/ Getty Images Eminem burst on the scene in 1999 with The Slim Shady LP, which introduced the world to Marshall Mathers’ manic, violent alter ego Slim Shady. Shady’s mercurial behavior has captivated fans throughout Em’s career, as Slim took cheeky shots at everyone from ‘NSYNC to his own mentor Dr. Dre and murdered his longtime gal pal Kim (only on wax, of course). Recently, the amped-up Shady has taken a backseat to Eminem’s candid rhymes about his struggles with fame and addiction. However, Em said that he hasn’t completely killed the Shady persona; it’s just not right for Recovery. “Shady still exists. But I don’t think the subjects on this record call for, you know, ‘bring the chainsaws and axes out and murder everyone on this record,’ ” Em told The New York Times in a recent interview. “There was so much stuff like that off the last record that I felt like I was starting to run it into the ground. I think consciously I went in a different direction with this record.” Em has been given a hard time for his hard-hitting rhymes, but when the Times pressed the star about whether he had any regrets about using unsavory terms when referring to women, he maintained that he was simply expressing his feelings honestly. “Anything I’ve ever said, I certainly was feeling at the time,” Eminem said. “But I think I’ve calmed down a bit. My overall look on things is a lot more mature than it used to be.” The star has certainly changed his outlook, as he mentioned in the same Times article, which will run in Sunday’s issue, that he supports gay marriage . Eminem’s Recovery is set to hit stores June 21. The album was pushed up a day after the much-anticipated follow-up to Relapse leaked online earlier this month.
