Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Renew Wedding Vows in Paris

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon took a vacation this week to the most romantic city on the planet, and the famous couple made the most of it: They renewed their vows in Paris! With the Eiffel Tower in the background and with Cannon donning a white tuxedo and Mariah in a similar-colored gown, Cannon got down on one knee once again and professed his love for his lovely wife. It’s not the first time the pair has renewed its vows, either. With Rev. Al Sharpton officiating, Carey and Cannon did so last year in the hospital where twins Moroccan and Monroe were born. Speaking of those adorable tykes: They turn one on Monday!

Snooki Wants Baby Before Wedding

‘I’m not even ready for it yet,’ the ‘Jersey Shore’ star tells MTV News of her wedding plans. By Jocelyn Vena Snooki and fiance Jionni LaVall Photo: WireImage Snooki may be planning for her baby, but she certainly isn’t planning her wedding just yet. The pint-sized reality starlet wants to welcome her first-born into the world before she officially becomes Mrs. Jionni LaValle . “I mean, I do have a dream wedding,” she confessed to MTV News on Thursday in New York City, with her “Jersey Shore” besties JWoww and Pauly D by her side. “But I definitely don’t even want to talk about it or think about it because I’m not even ready for it yet. I just want my baby first.” JWoww confirmed that the ever-expanding Snooki hasn’t put much planning into her wedding. “She’s in pregnancy mode,” Jenni added. In footage from “Snooki & JWoww” shown to the Media on Thursday, Snooki drops the bombshell on her friend that she is both pregnant and engaged. While it seems JWoww is momentarily shaken, one ultrasound later, everyone seems on board for the baby. Though, there are still plenty of antics to be had, and they include the ladies apartment hunting, torturing their respective beaus and, yes, even hitting up a club or two for a night of dancing. “I was very excited [when we found out about the baby]. I don’t know if I was more excited for what’s to come or the fact that we finally moved in together,” JWoww said of learning that there’d be another roommate in the house, growing inside her little friend. “But it’s not a dull moment. All of us, all eight of us [are going to help out]. It’s gonna have a lot of aunts and uncles.” Snooki said the pregnancy may not have been in the reality-show plan, but they made it work. “When we film, it’s all about reality and what’s going on in our life,” she said. “So it’s not like we’re going in there and staging things. It’s what’s really going on in our life. It just so happens that I got pregnant while [we were filming].” Related Photos Evolution Of: Snooki Snooki’s Brand-New Bling

The Wanted Out To Prove Boy Bands ‘Make Good Music’

‘If you like us despite it or because of it, then we’re happy,’ Jay McGuiness tells MTV News of boy-band label. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Sway Calloway The Wanted Photo: MTV News It’s not always easy being in a boy band. There are a lot of preconceptions for the five guys who choose to sing catchy pop tunes and dance in formation for a living. Given that boy bands have come in and out of fashion once every decade for the last few years, it should come as no surprise that we are knee-deep in a brand-new boy-band bonanza . This one is being led by this generation’s ‘NSYNC and Backstreet Boys: One Direction and the Wanted . When MTV News sat down with the Wanted to premiere their “Chasing the Sun” video , they chatted a bit about being labeled a “boy band.” “Eventually, we were, like, over it,” Jay McGuiness explained. “If you like us despite it or because of it, then we’re happy.” Well, something is working for the guys. Their lead U.S. single, “Glad You Came,” has topped the charts, and they are once again getting people dancing with “Chasing the Sun,” from their just-released debut U.S. EP . It’s a good time to be in a boy band, thanks to all the love out there for them. And it’s an even better time to be in the Wanted. It seems that their success might have a lot to do with the way they’ve approached their boy-band career thus far. “We went out there and we’re like, ‘You know what? I think we can change people’s perspectives of the ’90s boy bands,’ ” Tom Parker explained. “And that was our aim: just to make good music.” Voting in round two of MTV’s Battle of the Boy Bands runs until noon ET on Monday, April 30. Winners are determined by fan votes, so if your favorite band made the cut, make sure you keep voting. Tune in to AMTV and MTV Hits for their boy-band video takeovers each day and make sure to spread the word on Twitter using the hashtag #BBB and like us on Facebook for updates!

REVIEW: Ambitious Five-Year Engagement Explores the Confusion of Couplehood in Grown-Up Ways

The Five-Year Engagement begins where a lot of movies would end, with a proposal. Tom (Jason Segel), a chef, is driving to a New Year’s Eve party with his girlfriend of a year, Violet (Emily Blunt), a psychology postdoc. He’s so visibly nervous that she’s worried he’s unwell, questioning him until he pulls over to the side of the road, slams down a box containing a ring and confesses that he was going to ask her to marry him that night. He still does, and she still insists on going through with his plan of a surprise rooftop romantic dinner at the restaurant in which he works. That’s because Tom and Violet are in love, and they’re also nice, down-to-earth, well-intentioned people, qualities that suffuse the film as well, generally for the better but sometimes to its detriment. The Five-Year Engagement  is the most recent collaboration between director Nicholas Stoller and star and co-writer Segel, who have worked together on the likes of  The Muppets ,  Forgetting Sarah Marshall  and  Get Him to the Greek. This film is their most ambitious not because of its long arc but because its dramatic currents are so submerged and minimal — there’s never any doubt that Tom and Violet belong together, just that they may not find the right place in which to do so. This unhurried comedy is devoted to realistic relationship issues like having to quit your job to move somewhere with your significant other, which is commendable while also posing a challenge. Tom and Violet sometimes feel like cuddly side characters in search of a main plot rather than anchors to base a film around; they’re solicitous of each other’s feelings to the point where they don’t acknowledge their own. It’s a good thing these characters are played by Segel and Blunt, who share enough dorky charisma to carry  The Five-Year Engagement through a sprawling runtime to a deservedly happy ending. As Tom, Segel riffs comfortably on the beta male persona he’s honed over the years, portraying an accommodating guy who thinks he should be fine with putting his career on hold to head to Michigan when Violet gets accepted to a psych program there, even though he actually feels miserable and emasculated. And Blunt, who’s capable of being cut-glass chilly when a role calls for it, is funny and warm as the ambitious Violet, who’s torn between being uncomfortable with the sacrifice Tom’s making for her and knowing that in her chosen field, her options are limited. So Tom and Violet set up a life in Michigan and agree to postpone the wedding until the moment’s right. Meanwhile, elderly grandparents start dying off; Tom’s best friend, Alex (the always welcome Chris Pratt), becomes a success in the job Tom left behind; and Violet’s sister Suzie (Alison Brie) faces unexpected but felicitous motherhood. One reason the film’s central couple at times seem inadequate is that there’s so much comedic talent in the smaller roles. Pratt and Brie, MVPs on Parks and Recreation and Community , respectively, make a great accidental couple-turned-model pairing. Brian Posehn is very funny as Tom’s gourmet sandwich shop boss, as is Chris Parnell as a stay-at-home dad whose knitting hobby leads to some of the film’s best visual gags. And I was especially charmed by Violet’s psych department, overseen by Rhys Ifans’ Professor Childs and incidentally diversely staffed by Mindy Kaling, Randall Park and Kevin Hart; they’re genial colleagues whose interactions are lightly spiced with competition for limited academic positions. The overt theme of  The Five-Year Engagement  is that there’s no such thing as “the perfect moment,” but the underlying one is “for the love of God, just say what’s on your mind.” As plausible as long campaigns of passive-aggressiveness may be (Tom, for instance, suddenly declares that he doesn’t want kids during one family visit, noting that “sometimes the biggest balls are the ones left unused”), they’re not terribly fun to watch on-screen. Any investment in Tom and Violet’s endangered coupledom starts to get eroded by frustration with their lack of communication as the months tick by and they drift apart. There’s a lot of downtime between gags, though when they do arrive they’re generally good, whether involving an accidental arrow shooting or an alcohol-fueled chase down a wintry street in which Ifans’s character demonstrates some impressive parkour skills. The Five-Year Engagement is, for a movie in which a guy fakes an orgasm and (in a separate incident) stuffs a dead deer in his car’s sunroof, very grown-up. It’s grown-up in its assessment of how making sacrifices for someone else can also be a selfish act, and it’s grown-up in its consideration of how, while love is all very well and good, you also have to make practical decisions about where and how you’ll live. Sometimes, watching it, you wish it’d be a little less grown-up and a little more flexible in terms of what works as a comedy. (It sometimes feels like a lighter, happier take on  Like Crazy  or  Blue Valentine .) But it’s rare to see main characters as grounded and plausible as Tom and Violet are, and when they finally find their way back into each other’s arms, it feels earned.

Dear Bossip: I Have 7 Kids, But Only 1 Belongs To Him & He Got Another Girl Pregnant

Dear Bossip , Well, I have been with this dude for about 4 years. He’s everything to me, and he has been there through thick and thin. I always had his back whenever he got locked up. He is only 8 years younger than me. I have 7 children, but only one of them is his. He works on a garbage truck and every morning I wake up at 3:00am to take him to work, but he doesn’t help with the bills or provide for his child at ALL! Not to include that I have to do everything on my own with no job. I pay his phone bill, and I support his habit (smoking). So, last year I found out he was talking to another girl and she claimed that she is pregnant by him, which means she should be about 8 months pregnant now. So, about a week ago I get a random message on Facebook. This girl tells me that she knows where I stay, she knows what kind of car I drive, and that she’s seen us leaving together before. She says that she is confused because he is supposed to be her boyfriend, and he tells her that I’m dropping him off at his mom’s house. Soon as I confronted him with this information he told me that the girl is lying, so I forgave him. A few days passed and he proposed to me. So, I am confused on if I should spend the rest of my life with this man or if he is not worth it at all. – Ms. Love Me Some Him Dear Ms. Love Me Some Him , Sigh! Really? Really! You love you some him! Girl, stop! Just stop this madness. You have 7 children, and only one of them belongs to him. You don’t have a job, yet, you are paying his cell phone bill, and supporting his weed habit. You see people, this right here is the prime example of how your tax dollars are being spent with those who use the government as a crutch, and instead of providing and caring for their children they are busy taking care of grown ass trifling no-good men who ain’t –ish and won’t be –ish! You mean to tell me that you wake your nappy headed ass up at 3:00 in the morning to take him to work, and he doesn’t help with any bills or provide for his child? What are you thinking when you are getting out of your bed, starting your car up, picking him up, taking him to work, and then going back home? Oh, my bad, silly me, you don’t have a brain.  Donkey’s don’t think, they just do. Let me ask you this: Who is home with your children when you leave at 3:00 in the morning? Do you even wake up and get your own kids ready for school in the morning? Do you even put in the same amount of effort of caring for your children and providing for them as you do for the very man who does not provide for his child AT ALL? Process those questions and let me know what you come up with. What’s also sad is that you’re concerned about him and this other chick who is pregnant and carrying his child. This same man whom you wake up at 3:00 in the morning to take to work, and he doesn’t help in any shape, form, or fashion with you and his child. So, while you’re taking him to work, he finds the time to lay up with her, and carry on another relationship, but you say that you are confused because you’re not sure if you want to spend the rest of your life with him. Are you freaking kidding me right now? WOW! WOW! WOW! There truly is a genetic stupid mutation happening right under our noses, and you were able to write your letter and email it without being caught. I’m deleting this immediately. I don’t want the government coming after me! But, hold up, let’s look at the fact that this man who doesn’t provide anything financially, emotionally, or mentally for his own child, however, he’s willing to take money from you and allow you to pay his cell phone bill, and his pound of weed. Does that make any type of logical sense to you? In your reasoning mind, does that even sound like a man who is capable or able to propose marriage to you, and come into your home and care for you and your 7 children? Look here, Miss, I don’t know who the father of your other children may be, but, lawd, please, please, please I do hope that you….wait, wait, wait a freaking minute…you’ve been with this man for 4 years, and you say that he’s been there through thick and thin, and you’ve been there for him whenever he’s been locked up. How is this possible? How can he be there for you if he’s frequently locked up? How has he been there through thick and thin, yet, he’s not supporting his child? Is his d**king you down compensation for paying his cell phone bill, and supporting his weed habit? Where did you learn that a relationship is being with a man who doesn’t care for his child, you take care of him, and he sleeps with other women? The problem is not with him. The problem is you! You have allowed this to happen, and it began with child number 1. You began this pattern with whomever the men you’ve allowed to use you as a doormat and dumping post for their semen. You’ve allowed yourself to misconstrue love and sex, and having a baby as a commitment, and some possible way of having a man to remain with you. There is something that you are lacking, and I’m certain that it’s because you didn’t have love in your home. Your father is definitely not in your life, and your mother did not provide any type of structure for how to conduct yourself as a lady. You’ve been searching for love, and a father figure (The Looking For Daddy Syndrome) all your life, and any man who shows you some type of affection it makes you feel loved and wanted. And, thus, your 7 children, also give you some type of love and feelings of being needed and wanted. Girl, let me stop because this can go on for a while. To answer your question, this man is not serious about marrying you. He is not remotely interested in having you as his wife. Just as he has cheated on you and got another woman pregnant, and you support him financially, emotionally, mentally, and physically, you will always find yourself giving of yourself to him to prove your love for him, yet, he will not do anything to give of himself to you, nor will he give you his heart and love. He’s selfish, immature, and definitely not a man. So, if this is the type of man you want, then knock yourself out, and I wish you a blessed married life. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

My name is Sarah, I am 13 years old and I am Brazilian. I do not…

My name is Sarah, I am 13 years old and I am Brazilian. I do not have much money, and my mother could not pay for my ticket and she and my father did not want to give me money to buy them. I decided to enter all current promotions to go to his concert in Sao Paulo (where I live). Finally it was the day of the concert and my mom’s heart was sinking knowing that she could not give me that ticket, and how sad I was because every day I cried and kept asking her. As usual I was on Twitter. I had given up about going to the show, and then I saw my messages that said, “You won”. I asked one of them what I had won? I ended up winning meet & greets and track premium tickets! I had completely forgotten about this promotion. I quickly called the company. I had won for the next day! Some people on Twitter sent me messages saying that I did not deserve it, but I said I won because God wanted me to. The next day I was so excited. I hardly slept the night before. Arriving at the stadium my heart started beating very fast and I was very anxious. Mr. Justin Drew Bieber was a little late for the meeting. At the time, five girls came in to meet him along with myself. After taking the photo, one of the girls hugged him, and I wanted to hug him too, but he seemed shy. When I decided to embrace him, Kenny stopped me because time had run out.  On the way out I met Scooter. I stopped to say hi to him and he waved. I saw the bands Cobra Starship, The Wanted a Brazilian band. Finally the love of my life Justin came on stage. I thank God, Midiorama, and Justin, it was the best day of my life. In the picture I’m the last on the right. Justin, I hope you know that October 9, 2011 will forever be the best day of my life.

Wiz Khalifa To Crash ‘RapFix Live’ Pittsburgh Party

Wiz will join fellow Pittsburgh MC Mac Miller on ‘RapFix Live’ Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com By Rob Markman Wiz Khalifa Photo: Jason Merritt/ WireImage There’s going to be a Pix Burgh party on Wednesday’s “RapFix Live.” Mac Miller isn’t the only Pittsburgh rapper making his return to the red couch tomorrow, as Wiz Khalifa will also be sitting with host Sway Calloway to talk about his latest and greatest. It’s perfect timing too. On Monday, Khalifa released “Work Hard, Play Hard,” the first single from his sophomore album O.N.I.F.C. (Only N—a in First Class). The catchy track, which was crafted by Stargate and Benny Blanco, finds Young Khalifa flaunting his success in the face of less fortunate haters. Wiz is coming off the heels of his critically acclaimed Taylor Allderdice mixtape. He’s prepping O.N.I.F.C. for an August 28 release, and if that wasn’t enough, Mr. Khalifa and fianc

The Wanted: A Whirlwind Day With The Boy Band

As they release their U.S. debut, MTV News follows the Wanted to ‘Today’ before their ‘MTV First’ premiere of the ‘Chasing the Sun’ video. By Jocelyn Vena The Wanted atop the Empire State Building Photo: Getty Images NEW YORK — The Wanted happen to be one of the biggest boy bands in the world at the moment. On Tuesday (April 24), the British fivesome released their self-titled U.S. EP with the kind of fanfare only a boy band could pull off as they took over the island of Manhattan for a whirlwind release-day press tour. MTV News was on hand for every minute of it, from sunrise to sunset, capturing the excitement as the boys made their way across the Big Apple to promote the album. We first met up with the guys at 5 a.m. at their hotel to make our way over to “Today.” But, we weren’t the only ones who greeted the guys there: Fans had waited all night outside the hotel to catch a glimpse of the Wanted. Despite the early hour, the guys obliged, signing autographs and smiling for photos with their devotees. Then they hopped into their car and made their way across town to “Today.” So, how do they manage to keep their spirits up at the top of a long day like that? “We prepared for this show this morning by having cups of tea and Cheerios, good for the heart,” Siva Kaneswaran told me before they took the stage to perform. “Basically, just psych each other, gaze into each other’s eyes and get excited, and that’s what gets us through the day.” From there, it was all about greeting even more fans, who had followed the guys from the studio back to their hotel, where the guys regrouped for a bit before more press and appearances. It’s the fans though who make the grueling press tour worth all the work, even if they find sneaky ways to show the guys their love. Recalling a mid-day fan encounter during their downtime, Tom Parker said some fans must have sneaked into the hotel, probably through the front door. “They were following us around. Some girl came up and said, ‘Is it too early to buy you a drink yet?’ ” The answer was “yes” — they did have a full day of press ahead of them! After their very short break, we were back in the car heading to the Empire State Building , where the guys got their photos taken and did several more interviews to hype up their release. Their final stop today will be their “MTV First,” during which they will premiere their video for “Chasing the Sun,” sit down with Sway Calloway to chat about their album and the video, and answer fans’ questions. Well, Sway, I warmed them up for you. I just hope I didn’t tire them out. The Wanted are taking over the Big Apple! Stick with MTV News for updates and exclusive behind-the-scenes photos all day. We’ll tag along with the guys on stops like the “Today” show and the Empire State Building before “MTV First: The Wanted” kicks off at 7:53 p.m. ET on MTV and MTV.com. Be sure to tune in for the premiere of the “Chasing the Sun” video and a 30-minute interview with the band! Related Videos Exclusive: Follow The Wanted Around NYC!

‘The Voice’: Adam Levine Sends Home Fan Favorite

Pip and James Massone are sent packing, while Cee Lo performs new Goodie Mob single. By John Mitchell Pip Photo: Fox The quarterfinals continued Monday night (April 23) on “The Voice” with the eight members of Teams Cee Lo and Adam taking the stage to sing for America’s vote, and two contestants were sent home by their judges’ instant eliminations. You know times have changed when Carson Daly — former host of MTV’s teenage staple “TRL” — is the adult in the room, as he was at the start of the show when a little juvenile humor distracted the coaches. After Adam and Cee Lo had a tough time getting through their opening remarks about the seriousness of the competition without laughing, Carson got Cee Lo to confess that the panel was laughing because he was, well, a little gassy. “Well, this is live TV,” Carson observed with what sounded like a little bit of disappointment in his voice. (Right?) The night’s first two performances set the bar high for the rest. First up was favorite Jamar Roger, singing Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life.” While rehearsing the song, Jamar told Cee Lo his “Just a Thought” helped him through an especially hard time in his life, when he was getting clean from drugs and learned he was HIV-positive. The obvious bond between the two made Cee Lo’s words of praise in the theater all the more moving. “I want to pause for a moment and listen to the love,” Cee Lo said to a teary-eyed Rogers of the audience’s wild reaction. “That’s your love.” Katrina Parker, who was saved earlier in the competition by her coach Adam, turned up the glam factor in a purple gown and loose waves for her powerful performance of “Jar of Hearts” by Christina Perri. (Can you even believe it was only two months ago that we were introduced to a shy insurance office worker?) She sounded great and won raves from each of the judges. Cee Lo agreed with Blake that this performance was like “hearing you for the very first time,” adding, “You look exceptionally beautiful, your voice sounded equally flawless.” Adam summed it up by calling Parker’s performance “flawless.” Cee Lo kicked it old-school right from the beginning with Daly’s black-and-white, ’50s game show host-style intro for his team performance of “Dancing in the Streets.” When the lights came up, Cee Lo and his teammates were inside a vintage TV set before busting out onto a stage lit up with vivid colored polka dots and stripes. Cee Lo even tossed on a wig for the occasion. The weird and cool energy (and colors, come to think of it) was reminiscent of Cee Lo’s Muppet-heavy 2011 Grammy performance of “Forget You,” and every time the camera cut to the other judges, they were eating it up. Mathai’s performance of “I’m Like a Bird” was more notable for Aguilera’s dissing of Adam for not paying enough attention to all elements of his team’s staging — none of the judges, even Adam, cared for an odd bit of choreography — and getting booed for elaborating a little too honestly on how much more she preferred Parker’s performance. Team Cee Lo’s James Massone carried his clean-cut lady killer act a little too far into ’60s boy-band territory, crooning Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are” staged like a teenybopper movie with Massone singing below a girl’s window. Blake and Xtina didn’t love it, but Adam saw what Cee Lo was going for, something “like a young Sinatra, like an old-school heartthrob.” Thankfully, Cee Lo jumped back in to liven things up with his reunited Goodie Mob, performing their new single “Fight to Win.” Just when you thought the performance would be low-key by Cee Lo standards — you know, just the band clad in gold armor and capes, with a set of light-up stairs, pillars and lots of fog — they zoomed in on Cee Lo and his bandmates’ mouths, which lit up bright with some kind of mouthpiece. After Tony Lucca’s last performance, Christina commented that she thought he was coasting on his easy acoustic-rocker style and the bit of celebrity that comes with having co-starred with her on “The Mickey Mouse Club,” and his desire to prove her wrong and “stare down” his “Mickey Mouse” past pushed him to remix Britney Spears’ ” … Baby One More Time” as a rip-roaring rock song. His electric take on Spears’ bubblegum classic won all the judges over, including (finally!) Xtina, who called for an “MMC” reunion and cheered on how he made the song his own. Saved previously by Cee Lo, Cheesa took a risk, performing the late Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing.” Those are big vocal shoes to fill, and she delivered. “You still managed to do your own thing with it,” Christina raved, before declaring, “This week, Team Cee Lo is where it’s at.” Sorry, Adam! Next up, preppy Pip showed off his piano skills with his reliably capable, definitely theatrical (we agree with Adam) but unremarkable performance of “Somewhere Only We Know,” and Juliette Simms’ shredded growl was perfect for Aerosmith’s “Cryin’,” even if the wings she wore weren’t our favorite accessories of the evening. Adam jumped behind the drums for his team’s performance of “Instant Karma,” and unlike the other joint coach/team performances, Levine let his team lead this one. His four remaining contestants took turns with the lead vocal, while Pip played keyboard and Tony strummed his ever-present guitar. But two had to go, leaving Cee Lo and Adam with a tough decision to make. Ever the diplomat, Cee Lo wrote a nice speech for his team, addressing how difficult this is for him and how much he supports each of them and read it off his phone. He decided to send James Massone packing, and the young Boston guy took it pretty well. (But it’s pretty impossible to get mad at Cee Lo, right?) Adam was admittedly less elegant with his words and ultimately decided to send home Pip, who seemed at first a little surprised but bowed out gracefully. What did you think of the eliminations? Let us know in the comments. Related Artists Cee Lo Green Christina Aguilera
