Returning to her car after departing Milk Studio, a radiant Denise Richards reports that yes, she still talks with slightly wild actor, Charlie Sheen. Denise says that she doesn’t tell her kids about her problems with Charlie, thus sparing them a great deal of potential negativity. Good choice.

A “Lil Positivity” Michelle Obama And Wal-Mart Team Up For “Lets Move!”, Promotes Healthy Eating For Families

The first lady is trying to save the youth and change their eating habits, and after taking a look at the kids around the local mall, we’re not mad at her. Michelle Obama is really making an effort to change the way Americans view healthy food. Her “Let’s Move” campaign aims to promote exercise and better food choices for families, and already she has started to push for salad bars in school cafeterias, and encouraged food giants like Kraft and Coca Cola to stop serving out crap (for lack of a better word). So, it makes sense then that companies who want to make the First Lady happy might heed her advice. And now Walmart is doing just that, by unveiling a plan to overhaul the types of food sold at its super center stores across the country. “No family should have to choose between food that is healthier for them and food they can afford,” stated Bill Simon, president and CEO of Walmart. “We are committed to working with suppliers, government and non-governmental organizations to provide solutions that help Americans eat healthier and live a better life.” Its not a joke people, the sh*t they tryna feed us nowadays WILL kill you if you don’t take care of yourself. Act accordingly… Source

‘Fight For Your Right Revisited’: Inside Scoop From Sundance

We got a first look as the Beastie Boys short starring Elijah Wood, Seth Rogen and more premieres with a comic take on the 1987 classic. By Eric Ditzian Danny McBride Photo: MTV News PARK CITY, Utah — The description seemed deliberately vague: “After the boys leave the party …” That was how Adam Yauch described his Sundance entry “Fight for Your Right Revisited,” a short film that tells the story of what happened to the Beastie Boys following the events of their 1987 music video of the same name. We knew Elijah Wood would play Ad-Rock, Seth Rogen would portray Mike D and Danny McBride would slip on a leather jacket to become Yauch’s MCA. But would the short be a music video? A more traditional comedic exploration? No one seemed to have a clue. Even McBride and Wood didn’t know what the heck the short was all about when we caught up with them before the Sundance premiere on Thursday night. “I’m just as curious as you are what this is going to be!” McBride laughed. Not long after we chatted with the cast, MTV News sat down to take in “Fight for Your Right Revisited,” and now we can finally answer those lingering questions ( beware of spoilers below ). The short film, which runs about 20 to 25 minutes, is part music video, part improv-heavy comedy. It begins directly after the conclusion of the ’87 video, with the Beasties crawling out of the party-mad apartment in a cloud of smoke, the original tune playing in the background. They head down the stairs and immediately run into the parents of the kids whose party they crashed. Susan Sarandon and Stanley Tucci play the parents. From there, Rogen, Wood and McBride head out onto the New York City streets — the film was apparently shot in three days on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles — looking to keep the party going. They bust into a bodega, steal a couple six-packs of beer and head back out. At that point, the short transforms into a music video, with the Beasties rapping into the camera and guzzling beer as they walk. “It felt super cool,” McBride told us earlier. “The moment you start rapping into a fisheye lens, you realize you’ve been training for it your whole life.” The film continues to alternate between music video rampages and dialogue-heavy comedic scenes. It’s also overflowing with a staggering number of celebrity cameos. One of the short’s biggest takeaways — beside the fact that the Beasties can still deliver top-notch tunes — is that Yauch can call up pretty much anyone and get him or her to do the favor of appearing in his film. Celebs making appearances include Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst, Amy Poehler, Will Arnett, Ted Danson, Alicia Silverstone, Will Ferrell, Rainn Wilson, Jack Black and John C. Reilly. The short takes surreal turns at times, as when the Beasties end up in a limo with two metal music fans played by Dunst and Maya Rudolph. They all drop acid, Wood gets stabbed in the belly and it turns out that Ferrell is driving the car. Such delightful weirdness peppers all of “Fight for Your Right Revisted.” “There was just an air of fun to it,” Wood explained. The short’s chief pleasure is simply that it exists, that Yauch is revisiting a song the band largely swore off back in the ’80s. Some scenes crackle with comedic verve, thanks to the talents of some of Hollywood’s most reliable improv talents. Other scenes could have benefited from a trim or two in the edit room. The music is vintage Beastie stuff; fans won’t be disappointed on that front. As the Beastie Boys themselves, Wood, McBride and Rogen don’t so much channel their real-life counterparts as simply seem to be having an utter blast. The audience at the premiere was right along with them. The short reaches a bizarre climax when the Beasties encounter a “Back to the Future”-esque DeLorean. Parked inside are older versions of the group: Black as MCA, Ferrell as Mike D and Reilly as Ad-Rock. Turns out, they’re from the future and claim to be the true Beastie Boys. The only way to settle the dispute, apparently, is with an old-school hip-hop dance-off. Their LOL-inducing dance moves lead, not entirely strangely at this point, to the six men in a contest, each one, literally, spraying their cohorts with steady streams. The short wraps up with the appearance of the actual Beastie Boys, dressed up like cops. They shove the two competing sets of Beastie Boys in a paddy wagon and drive off. A title card reads, “To be continued. Check back in 25 years.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Rihanna’s Pops Admits He Put Her On The Stroll At A Young Age And Reveals His Own Junkie Ways

Rihanna’s dad, Ronald Fenty has recently conducted an interview where he reveals that his likkle baby got her “streetwalker” training by actually walking the streets… as a vendor! Ronald always assumed his girl would go into business due to her entrepreneurial flair as a kid. He revealed: “She used to sell stuff on the side of the street like I did. She’d come outside of the store and put up a rack and sell hats and belts and scarves. “She would also buy sweets, put them in packages and take them to school to sell to her friends for a profit.” He also speaks about the few times when his daughter wasn’t really f**kin’ with him like that: Just four years before the cheery carnival snap was taken, Rihanna had walked in on her dad doing crack in their modest home in Bridgetown – and vowed her life would be different. Then, two years ago, he fell out with her when she sent him home from her North American tour as punishment for drunken behaviour on her bus. He said: “I got drunk and had an argument with her brother. There was one night of the tour left in Los Angeles – and I wanted to go there because I know a nice lady in LA – but she made me go home. But families row – it’s all fine now.” He added: “I don’t get to see her too often. When she comes to Barbados it’s normally just a couple of days and she has so many people to see.” He told The Sun: “I did have a drug problem and Robyn did walk in and see me taking drugs in our house. She was just a little kid and it made her look at me, and other things, differently. “Around the same time we were walking down the street with the kids and there was a guy sleeping on the sidewalk. Her mother said to Robyn, ‘Your dad is going to end up like that’. “I did not want my children to see me sleeping on the sidewalk so I started making the changes. “I had to give up drugs for my family. I still kind of lost them, I split up with my wife. But I still had to do it for myself and eventually I beat it.” At his worst, Rihanna’s dad was labelled a “parrow” – the local slang for scrounging junkie – by the Caribbean islanders. “But that was a long time ago. It’s all in my past now – touch wood,” he says. Good job Mr. Fenty we’re glad you kicked your habit, but you know what they say, once a junkie…Furthermore, why the hell is her dad selling sh*t on the side of the road in Barbados when this lil heffa is running around in G6s??? C’mon Robyn take care of ya folks… Source

Conrad Murray to Joe Jackson: Beat It!

Dr. Conrad Murray wants Joe Jackson’s wrongful death lawsuit thrown out, and he may get his wish, thanks to Joe being bat$h!t insane a statute of limitations. The embattled doc’s lawyer has filed a motion to dismiss Joe’s lawsuit, claiming he missed the one-year filing deadline and the claim should be tossed ASAP. Charles Peckham claims Joe’s lawyer, Brian Oxman, filed the lawsuit 158 days after the one-year deadline. There’s also a matter of viability on its own merit. How do you choose sides here? Because Michael deliberately did not leave money to Joe in his will (his mom, his kids and charities will split it all), Joe’s entitlement claims may be a stretch. In other words, look for a dismissal one way or the next. We don’t know exactly when, but when it’s thrown out, Terry Henderson will be pumped for Conrad. Good thing, too. Murray has enough on his plate, pending trial for involuntary manslaughter and all. No need to battle a frivolous lawsuit from some clown.

Robert Pattinson Says ‘Water For Elephants’ Felt Like ‘Big Movie’

‘It felt totally different from doing something within the ‘Twilight’ world,’ he tells MTV News of stretching beyond vampire role. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson in “Water for Elephants” Photo: Fame Pictures For all of the Robert Pattinson fans counting down the days until your favorite actor hits the big screen again, know that there’s now just about three months (94 days, to be exact) until the “Twilight” hunk’s next movie, “Water for Elephants,” opens. When MTV News caught up with Pattinson at Sunday’s Golden Globes (he co-presented the award for Best Foreign Film), we asked whether he thought “Elephants” was a big stepping stone for him, acting-wise. “I think so,” he said. “It definitely felt like I was doing a big movie when I was doing it and it felt totally different from doing something within the ‘Twilight’ world because now it just seems so familiar, the ‘Twilight’ stuff. It’s just like going to a normal job, doing that,” he explained of playing vampire Edward Cullen in the franchise. Pattinson’s “Elephants” co-star Reese Witherspoon told MTV News recently that she couldn’t help but agree with millions of fans about one thing: “He is extraordinarily attractive,” she told us. “I’m not gonna lie.” Witherspoon shares a kiss with Rpattz in the upcoming film and a new photo of the two in a lip-lock may make more than a few “Twilight” fans jealous. But Witherspoon was quick to add that Pattinson is attractive both inside — and out. “Robert is such a great guy from a great family,” she told us last month. “That’s the thing that’s so funny. He’s not really this bad boy; he’s just a great guy and really worked hard on ‘Water for Elephants.’ He really worked long hours, long days. He looks totally different in the movie.” Are you looking forward to how Reese compares to KStew as an onscreen leading lady to RPattz? Tell us in the comments!

‘American Idol’ Experts Weigh In On New Season

‘I hope that it can be, if not a train wreck, then at least not boring,’ Entertainment Weekly ‘s Annie Barrett tells MTV News. By Gil Kaufman “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest and judges Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson Photo: Tony Duran/ FOX In some ways, the 10th season of “American Idol” is a whole new show. With legendary meanie judge Simon Cowell not on hand to offer up his cutting putdowns for the first time in the show’s history and Jennie-come-lately panelists Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres off the panel as well, there’s a chance for “Idol” to reboot after a lackluster season nine that saw ratings slip. There are quite a few changes in store , many of which have gotten professional “Idol” watchers excited for the show for the first time in a long time. When the new season boots up Wednesday night (January 19), MTV News’ “Idol” expert and “Idol in 60 Seconds” host Jim Cantiello said he’ll be even more amped up than he usually is (which is super-duper amped up). “I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for ‘Idol’ to start,” said Cantiello, who will host the live stream “Judging the Judges: An ‘Idol’ Without Simon” right after “Idol” airs, at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.com. “There’s a lot on the line for the show, with Simon Cowell’s ‘X Factor’ waiting in the wings. ‘Idol’ producers are no dummies. They know if they don’t become part of America’s water-cooler buzz each week that their show is officially done. I’m sure they’ve painstakingly cast the show and truly kept their eyes peeled for the best talent out there, not just the best backstories. After nine seasons, America is burnt out. They’re ready to shake things up, and I, for one, cannot wait.” As much as he’s going to miss Cowell’s acerbic wit, Cantiello said he’s really looking forward to new judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez. “I can’t wait to see the insane energy Steven brings to the table,” he said. “He’s going to make for some great live TV. And then there’s Lopez, who I imagine being deadly serious. I’m thinking business suits, furrowed brow. She’s going to want to be taken seriously, especially next to crazy Steven.” After a few seasons of lackluster performers and stagnant ratings, Entertainment Weekly “Idol” writer Annie Barrett said she’s just looking forward to what feels like a whole new show. “It will have to be, because there’s no Simon,” she said. “I have no idea what to expect, but I hope that it can be, if not a train wreck, then at least not boring. Without someone to be the villain, it’s great if they all get along, but will that work on TV? Will it be compelling?” Barrett said she’d love it, frankly, if it was a train wreck, if only because it would make the show more interesting. But she’ll definitely miss Cowell, who for her was the main reason to watch the show in the past. “He was so adept at taking down people and everything he said got to the real heart of what was wrong with that person,” she said. “If there’s no one to do that and it’s all sugarcoated, I will be disappointed.” Both Barrett and Cantiello said they were a bit concerned about the show’s decision to drop the age limit down to 15. “I definitely don’t think the show needs younger contestants,” Barrett said. “It’s already pretty painful to watch some teenagers who are so expertly molded into reality-show creatures … it can be kind of creepy. … I don’t think ‘Idol’ was hurting for more youth.” Cantiello was also worried about the new youth movement, noting that some of the 16-year-old contestants “really choked” on live TV after making it into the top 12. “Opening the doors to 15-year-olds may only exacerbate that problem,” he said. “As much as they want to find the next [Justin] Bieber, they better figure out a way to ensure that the kids don’t crack under the pressure.” There was also some concern that the two new superstar judges might distract from the promised return to a focus on the contestants. “My biggest hope is that ‘Idol’ finds one-of-a-kind talent this season,” Cantiello said. “Ellen DeGeneres proved that a big star on the judges’ panel does not necessarily ensure a must-see ‘Idol.’ The show lives and dies by the contestants it highlights. If they don’t find the most compelling, the most interesting and the most talented group of singers, the show is going to be as culturally relevant as ‘Skating With the Celebrities.’ ” Don’t miss our “American Idol” live stream “Judging the Judges: An ‘Idol’ Without Simon,” featuring post-show analysis from Jim Cantiello and special guests, on MTV.com tonight at 10 p.m. ET.
