Roc Nation head also reaches into his back catalog for ‘Hovi Baby,’ ‘Can I Live’ and more. By Jayson Rodriguez Jay-Z (file) Photo: WireImage NEW YORK — At Nike’s World Basketball Festival, NBA All-Stars Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, and Rajon Rondo kept fans entertained as they defeated the Lamar Odom-led white team in overtime, but it was Jay-Z who capped the event with the night’s best performance. The Brooklyn rapper was the special musical guest on the bill, and he was more automatic than Stephen Curry from the baseline corner. “I only got 20 minutes, so I can’t wait for you to warm up,” Hov said, sauntering from side to side onstage.

Getting your kids to not eat fast food may have just gotten a whole lot easier in San Francisco. No more happy meals. They’re not planning to ban the meal as much as the toy that comes with it, but really…the toy is what makes the happy meal. The government there feels that toys are used as incentives to get children to want more kids’ meals and are contributing to childhood obesity. Happy meal = Toy = “MOM! I WANT A HAPPY MEAL!” Sound familiar? How could the children possibly live without completing the set of kids’ meal toys? It would be such a shame to have Homer, Marge, Lisa and Maggie with no Bart Simpson. http://eatdrinkbetter.com/2010/08/12/san-francisco-moving-to-ban-happy-meals/ added by: glueandglitter

Actor says he’s been ‘running around chasing girls’ but speaks out against homophobia. By Eric Ditzian Daniel Radcliffe on the cover of Out Photo: Here Media Inc. Earlier this year, MTV News witnessed firsthand Daniel Radcliffe’s commitment to gay rights, when we hung out while the “Harry Potter” star taped a public service announcement for the Trevor Project, an LGBT support group. That dedication to working for the issue was not a one-time thing, as Radcliffe makes clear in a cover story in the new issue Out magazine. The 21-year-old was interviewed by transgendered musician Our Lady J. — an artist whose friendship with the actor raised eyebrows in the tabloids last year — and their talk ranged from gay rights to Broadway to movies to Radcliffe’s dating life. “I was in a relationship with somebody for just about three years, and we broke up just shortly before we hit that mark,” he said. “But [the breakup] was very amicable. At the moment, I’m just being single and running around chasing girls. I’m not getting too many responses, but, yes, I’m having a go.” When it comes to other people’s love lives, Radcliffe is hoping the rest of the world soon adopts a more inclusive philosophy. He realizes, though, that acceptance of differing sexualities is going to take time. “I think that with every generation, people become more open to those ideas and more aware and more educated,” he said. “But it’s a really, really slow process. If you take any family with parents who are bringing their kids up in a narrow-minded way that includes homophobia, it will take a very profound moment of realization to change those deep-seated views.” Out conducted the interview shortly after the final “Harry Potter” film wrapped production, and Radcliffe confessed that he kept a few souvenirs from the set. “I’ve got two pairs [of glasses] from the seventh film and the pair I wore in the very, very first movie — which are really tiny on my head now!” he said. As he leaves Hogwarts behind, the actor is gearing up to head to New York, where he’ll perform on Broadway in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” “I love the city as a whole, absolutely, but I love Broadway,” he said. “[T]he community is amazing, and if you get involved with all those events, and you show how much you love and appreciate being there, you really get nothing but generosity and kindness back.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

‘She sort of wants to do a ‘Where’s Waldo?’-type thing with ‘Where’s Britney?’ ‘ creator Ryan Murphy reveals. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Britney Spears Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage Ladies, gentlemen and Gleeks, Ryan Murphy has revealed a few more details about what fans can expect when Britney Spears makes a cameo in an episode of “Gee” dedicated to her and airing next season. While the show creator wouldn’t say exactly what part Spears will have, he did hint that she would be playing some version of herself. “Well, it’s her idea. She sort of wants to do a ‘Where’s Waldo?’-type thing with ‘Where’s Britney?’ ” Murphy told MTV News at the “Eat Pray Love” premiere in New York City on Tuesday night. Spears will “kind of” be playing herself, he added. “Yes, that’s all I can say.” With so much anticipation surrounding the upcoming episode, Murphy said the cast is equally pumped to have the pop icon on set. In fact, many of them had long been pushing for a Spears episode. “You know, I met with Britney Spears years and years and years ago right when ‘(Hit Me) … Baby One More Time’ came out and I was sort of starting my career, and I’ve always loved her,” he explained. “I think what she’s done in turning everything around is remarkable, and the show is just a love letter to her music. “And the reason we’re doing it is because so many of the kids on the show say, ‘We grew up with Britney. We want to do Britney,’ ” Murphy continued. “So I said, ‘OK,’ but I’m filled with admiration for her.” One Gleek who’s particularly excited to get Spears onboard is Heather Morris, who over the weekend at the Teen Choice Awards admitted she couldn’t believe Spears might actually show up on set. “That’d be so nerve-racking,” she said. “I like ‘Toxic’ the best or the ‘Slave’ video. It was always her best performance. She’s rocking! I don’t care what I do.” Would you like to see Britney play herself or another character on “Glee”? Let us know in the comments!

‘I’m gonna get superstar records on there,’ he tells Mixtape Daily of tape due same day as August 27 flick. By Shaheem Reid Idris Elba Photo: Getty Images The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive Idris Elba is a big superstar, much deserving of all of the accolades, but don’t act like we didn’t put you up on his backstory as a DJ more than half a decade ago. When he’s not filming box-office blockbusters like “Obsessed” and this month’s upcoming “Takers,” he’s still getting it in behind the wheels of steel. Elba lays it down at the club during live sets and he’s still entrenched in the mixtape scene. In fact, he’s working on a major project to complement his latest film. “Takers mixtape; the film comes out on the 27th. I’m gonna put the tape out the same day as the film,” Idris told Mixtape Daily when we caught up with him over the weekend in Los Angeles. Elba, T.I., Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen and Jay Hernandez were all in the City of Angels doing press for the thriller. “I’m gonna get superstar records on there, some exclusives,” Elba continued. “But I’m also trying to get some people that follow me on Twitter, people that have been following and supporting ‘Takers’ to submit a couple records on the mixtape. Hopefully, it’ll be on Mixtape [Daily]. You can review the jam for me. I’ll throw a couple of my own songs on the jam, too — so be careful.” In the film, Elba plays Gordon Cozier, the leader of a team of highly educated, highly skilled, high-life-loving bank robbers. And yes, they play for high stakes. Gordon has just a few days to mastermind a seemingly impossible armored-car heist that would net the group tens of millions of dollars. At the same time, Gordon has family strife to confront: His sister leaves a drug rehab facility early and, almost immediately, falls off the wagon. “The truck scene. That truck thing, very, very exciting and unique,” Elba said of his favorite stunt in the film. As for his music-making co-stars, Grammy winners T.I. and Chris Brown, the British-born actor said he was impressed with their abilities as thespians. “They’re performers, number one,” Elba assessed. “And in this film, we’re being charismatic bad boys. That’s what going on. Chris and T.I., they got plenty of that.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .

‘Even in Seaside, before [anyone] knew who we were, the guys got a lot of girls,’ Snooki explains. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Audrey Kim Snooki Photo: MTV News Anyone who’s seen the first couple of episodes of the new season of “Jersey Shore” can tell that all the club-hopping, game-kicking action we witnessed last season in Seaside Heights has been ramped up exponentially with the crew down in Miami Beach. With greater public exposure, so it seems, comes greater temptation. But as Snooki told MTV News, the lure of the MTV cameras was evident back in Jersey too. “Even in Seaside, before [anyone] knew who we were, the guys got a lot of girls,” she explained. “The girls were throwing themselves at them. It was just 10 times more in Miami.” While Ronnie flirted with Jell-O shot girls and enjoyed a few three-way kisses at South Beach clubs , Snooki and her girls kept the gawking dudes at bay — well aware of their true, I-wanna-be-a-star motives. “And the guys, for us, it just wasn’t a good time, because we knew why they were throwing themselves at us,” she said. “I was just like, ‘No, not having it!’ ” Nor were they or “Shore” producers having any of the constant attention of tabloid photographers, who trailed the kids from gym to tanning salon to laundry to their jobs at a local gelato shop . “Miami, it was very overwhelming,” Snooki said. “Right when we got to the house, there was paparazzi everywhere. But the fact that the producers and the editing crew, they made it look like there was nothing there — made it so much better. Because we tried to avoid them so much, and you know the paparazzi — they’re going to follow us anywhere. We did what we could and we were still ourselves, no matter what.” “No money or fame can change us,” she added. Watch “Jersey Shore” Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.
