Track teases soundtrack album, which drops on March 20, ahead of ‘Hunger Games’ release on March 23. By Jocelyn Vena Taylor Swift Photo: Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic Taylor Swift ‘s other “Hunger Games” track, “Eyes Open,” has hit the ‘Net nearly a week before the official soundtrack drops. Whereas “Safe & Sound” is sparse and gloomy, Swift’s second “Hunger Games” soundtrack contribution is more epic and upbeat, at least musically. The lyrics still touch on many of the darker themes of the film, meaning that she sings about the loss of innocence and the need to stay strong in the face of adversity. “Yesterday we were just children/ Playing soldier just pretending/ Dreaming dreams with happy endings,” she sings on the track, which has been posted on Perez Hilton’s website . “In backyards battle with the wooden swords/ But now we’ve stepped into a cruel world/ Where everybody stands and keeps score.” The song is punctuated by big guitar riffs and a rock-inspired beat as Swift continues on the chorus, “Keep your eyes open/ Everybody’s waiting for you to break down/ Everybody’s watching to see the fallout/ Even when you’re sleeping, sleeping/ Keep your eyes, eyes open.” Lyrically, many of the tributes in the Hunger Games can relate to that need to be strong, but it seems to be particularly pointed at the story’s female lead, Katniss Everdeen, played by Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence, who becomes the face of revolution in the beloved franchise. The full “Hunger Games” soundtrack drops on March 20, just days before the film opens on March 23. It features a wide array of artists, including Miranda Lambert, the Civil Wars (who also appear with Swift on “Safe & Sound”), Arcade Fire, Kid Cudi and more. “I immediately read the book in, like, two days and fell in love with it,” Swift explained about her love of all things “HG” when she sat down with MTV News during her “First” last month. “I fell in love with the characters, fell in love with the world that Suzanne Collins had created. I was just so immersed in it.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Hunger Games.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Dear Bossip, First off, let me begin by saying thank you for reading my letter. I have been married for 10 years to a wonderful guy. We both have great careers (he is a pastor and professor and I am a high school principal) I couldn’t be happier with our lives. My husband has a daughter from a previous marriage whom I love as if she were my own. Recently, her mother (his ex wife) has come back into the picture. She was just released from jail and has no place to go. She has no family, friends, or money. What she does have is enormous love and respect from her daughter. Long story short, my husband suggested that she move into our finished basement until she can get back on her feet. Reluctantly, I agreed but told him that she can only stay for 2 months. He told me this was the Christian thing to do. I regret every part of saying that now. Lately, I have noticed that she is making passes at my husband (touching him on the shoulder, subtle glances etc). I told him about this and that I didn’t like it but he told me that I am overreacting and not to pay it any mind. This is where it gets interesting. I allowed her to use our washer one day because she didn’t have money to wash her own clothes. In her basket I noticed my husband’s boxers. I dismissed it thinking that he thought it was our basket when putting his dirty clothes in the laundry room. However, my suspicions are getting stronger now because I noticed a pregnancy test in trash of the guest bath in the basement. I confronted my husband about this and his alibi is that he was out of town. Which he was. He was out of town the same weekend his ex-wife “caught the Greyhound” to see her sick mother in a nursing home in Tennessee where she is from. Since I was under the impression that she had no family I’m very concerned, suspicious, and angry at the possibility of them sleeping together under my nose and conceiving a child. Am I being too suspicious or do you think I’m headed for divorce? – Christian In Crisis Dear Ms. Christian In Crisis , Chile, the moment he would have fixed his lips to say, “Ex-wife, leaving jail, and can she come here to stay,” I would have cut his ass off in mid-sentence, “Hell naw! Hell to the no! And, if you don’t understand that, let me say it in a Christian tone, Hell, freaking no!!” I don’t know what type of pastor your husband is, but, err, uhm, GET THAT WOMAN OUT OF YOUR HOUSE TODAY! NOT TOMORROW, NOT NEXT WEEK, OR NEXT MONTH. TELL HER TO PACK HER –ISH AND GET THE HELL OUT TODAY!! And, I’m going to say this and repeat it throughout my response: IT’S YOUR HOME! STOP LETTING THIS GO DOWN IN YOUR HOUSE AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! PUT HER OUT! I hate when so-called Christians want to throw things in your face and say, “Well, it’s the Christian thing to do.” Oh, really??? Like, moving your ex-con ex-wife into your home with your current wife because she doesn’t have anywhere to go? Chile, puhlease, there are shelters all across America. I’m certain that your “pastor” husband knows of many shelters and food pantries for those in need. I mean most pastors are connected to the community, and I’m certain there are plenty of homeless, and hungry folks in your congregation that he often helps or refers to places that are specifically designed to help those in need. His ex-wife should seek out those services to get back on her feet. Your home is not a mission or shelter. IT’S YOUR HOME! STOP LETTING THIS GO DOWN IN YOUR HOUSE AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! PUT HER OUT! But, hold up, I thought you said she didn’t have any family? So where did this mother in a nursing home appear from? SMDH! No ma’am. And, you mean to tell me that she has no friends? Really? Really! Not a single friend in the whole entire world that she can call upon? Girl, when your husband told you it was, “the Christian thing to do,” I would have responded, “Well, she’s got a friend in Jesus. Call on him and He will help her figure it out.” LMBAO! IT’S YOUR HOME! STOP LETTING THIS GO DOWN IN YOUR HOUSE AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! PUT HER OUT! Then, this heifer is making passes and flirting with your husband right in front of you?! And, you haven’t punched her in her mouth, yet? What the hell are you waiting on? Again, I am going to reiterate that this is happening in YOUR HOME, and your husband has the gall and nerve to say to you that you’re overreacting and pay it no mind. Oh, really? Hmph, well, invite your ex-boyfriend over and flirt with him in front of your husband and if he gets upset, then you tell him to stop overreacting and pay it no mind. Get the freak out of here! Talking about pay it no mind. IT’S YOUR HOME! STOP LETTING THIS GO DOWN IN YOUR HOUSE AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! PUT HER OUT! Your husband is probably getting his jollies and loving the fact that he has the two women he’s in love with living in his home. Oh, my bad, I shouldn’t have said “two women he’s in love with.” But, it’s the truth! Believe that! And, I can only imagine the attention he is getting and how he feels knowing that the two of you are going after him playing into his male machismo. It makes him feel like he is the man and the king of the castle. His ego is surely inflated and he’s walking around swinging his nuts like he’s the bull and you two are the damn donkey cows fighting for his attention. It wouldn’t be me. I would burst his damn ego, and put my foot in both of their asses. It’s time to stop being the “good Christian” and be a “smart Christian.” Listen here: If you know a dog bites, and you trust in God to protect you, do you think being a good Christian and walking down the street tempting the dog that bites is wise, or do you use your common sense and avoid the street and use an alternative route? IT’S YOUR HOME! STOP LETTING THIS GO DOWN IN YOUR HOUSE AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! PUT HER OUT! Lastly, you found your husband’s boxers in his ex-wife’s laundry basket…. And they both happened to conveniently be out of town at the same time? Say no more…Let me say a prayer for you and for them. I suggest you get your prayer cloth, holy oil, and crucifix because it’s time to start whooping some ass! Some beat-downs are in order. And, when you’re done, let them take that to the altar and leave it there. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

Looks like Emily B found love all over again! Love was in the air Sunday afternoon as Love & Hip-Hop’s Emily B took to Twitter to post a cute pic of her kissing her boo-thang John “Fabolous” Jackson. However, the love-fest was cut short by the ubiquitous “haters”… People seem to feel very strongly about Emily and her relationship with the Brooklyn rapper that has been known to chop down a groupie, or two, or three… Do you think she’s a damn fool for reconciling with Fab?? Hit the flip to peep the tweets
Jennifer Love Hewitt is the spokesperson for Eharmony – which is kinda funny considering she can’t keep a man and she would be desperate enough to turn to the internet to find love….even though she’s a snobby cunt and apparently not responding too well to the men Eharmony have been choosing for her…cuz she thinks she is better than them and that she deserves the best, probably another actor, even though male actors are pussies…and she’s not that hot…and no spring chicken…it’s just a spoiled cunt state of mind…that’s hard to beat out of her….. I have always said meeting someone off the internet is sketchy as fuck and I had never done it until recently…see, the internet is filled with weirdo trash and it is better to meet random girls in the park or even homeless pussy or street kid pussy…cuz they are usually more mentally stable than internet chicks… But some times you go against your better judgement when feeling alone, bored, or whatever and you make the mistake of meeting groupie girls off the internet cuz it feeds your ego…..ones who had your site bookmarked since 2005….the kind of girl you know can’t be normal if she read this shit for 7 years….but pretend she is because you want her to be…. The kind of girl who conveniently lived in my neighborhood…..who was conveniently engaged so it would never get too serious and who conveniently invited me to meet her over and over again….to which I said no over and over again…cuz I don’t fuck with internet chicks…..mainly cuz I usually assume there’s a van waiting for me at the meeting spot with guys with baseball bats….. So she found a mutual friend and got my number…at which point I shoulda run and hid like a paranoid freak I am…cuz that’s weird behavior….especially from an internet freak…..but instead I go along with it and agree to meet her…. That led to the last 3 months fucking her on the regular as she lied to her fiance…and to me….on some fatal attraction kick….professing her love for me, trying to marry me, trying to move in with me and my wife and other unstable crazy shit…. The whole time I fear being stabbed or murdereed by her in my sleep…not by him, cuz he’s obviously a pussy who lets his chick have relationships with other dudes…..but by her, cuz internet girls aren’t normal…especially when fans of this site….but the unprotected anal made me forget the level of internet loser I was hanging with. Luckily, she disappeared a couple of weeks ago….it could have ended a lot worse for me….cuz I went to a place I hate….with an unstable internet girl who will just become just a distant memory to me, unless she gave me AIDS, then I’ll have to think of her as much as her fiance will think of me everytime he sticks his dick in her…cuz let’s face it, when you give trash a ring, you obviously don’t think it is trash, and you sure as hell don’t think that trash is getting stuffed by strangers off the internet behind your back to the point where she’s decided to have a relationship with the person, but when you find out, cuz you always find out….shit gets messy…..but not as messy as her pussy after I came all over it. And that’s why I don’t fuck with girls from the internet…and why I will listen to my instincts next time…and here’s Jennifer Love Tits…. To See The Rest of the Pics FOLLOW THIS LINK
On the South by Southwest film festival red carpet, Joss Whedon tells MTV News the flick had ‘a very weirdly organic genesis.’ By Kara Warner Joss Whedon at SXSW Photo: Michael Buckner/ Getty Images The annual South by Southwest film festival kicked off in splendid, if slightly soggy, fashion Friday night with the world premiere of “Cabin in the Woods.” Amidst unseasonably chilly temperatures and intermittent downpours in Austin, Texas, the film’s cast and crew braved the elements to walk the red carpet ahead of the highly anticipated horror film’s packed screening. “We are so excited to be premiering at South by Southwest: We really couldn’t have asked for a better place to premiere this film,” first-time director Drew Goddard told MTV News. “We feel like we’re a South by Southwest film, so we’re happy to be here. It worked out well for us. “I feel like South by Southwest has a swagger, a rock and roll feel to it. When you hear those words, you feel like their pushing the edge of what’s acceptable in society and I feel like — I hope — that we did the same,” Goddard added, speaking to the film’s intrigue and appeal. “Apparently, South by Southwest is a really rad festival, and I think this is a really rad film, so it’s a good fit,” star Anna Hutchison said. “Also Joss is really excited about it, so if he’s excited, you know that it’s a good thing.” Speaking of co-writer and fan-boy favorite Joss Whedon, the “Avengers” director and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” mastermind said that the long-delayed and slightly troubled backstory surrounding “Cabin” makes it even more perfect for a SXSW showing. “It was created very independently, and it came up very organically,” Whedon said. “It wasn’t churned out of a studio system. The fact that MGM, Mary Parent was taking a lot of risks. She let us shoot word-for-word exactly what we wrote. That’s the movie we made. Then obviously it had some troubles, and Lionsgate came in, and it had a very weirdly organic genesis.” Co-star Bradley Whitford summed up his SXSW excitement with his love for its host city: “I love, love, love Austin — even when it feels like Iceland,” he said with a smile from under an umbrella. “I love this town, so I was thrilled to be able to come here.” He said “Cabin” has “a very young, hip, humorous, smart, astute thing going on.” Kristen Connolly added: “It’s awesome to know that people are excited about the movie, and it’s awesome to be here. It’s such a cool festival, I’ve wanted to come to it for ages, so I’m thrilled to be here.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Drake taping into those emotions again. But this time it’s with his ex-boo stripper Maliah (you’ve seen her in his Find Your Love video, she also date rapper Sean Kingston) via Twitter. The beef started when Drake subliminally tweeted: “Sometimes I wanna tweet things like “B**ch how you stop f**kin with me and now you live on twitter everyday”…but then I just don’t.”…Then I guess Maliah felt some type of way and immediately tweeted from her account: “Lmao Yess I love twitter and I don’t f**k with disrespectful crybaby a** n*ggas that’s y,”. When her followers told her to stop beefing with Drake, she replied: “idk y its just show business.” She then seemed to get annoyed with all the questions about her relationship with Drake, writing: “Lmao y y’all think that is the only man in my life it was 2 years ago. Please no more talk about him. Find me someone else. Who will appreciate me.” LMBO…it’s funny seeing celebs taking shots at each other on Twitter but not in a good way though. They don’t realize that blogs all over the world are just waiting for anything negative to post about them (yep like this one) ..GOT TO BE MO’ CAREFUL. ~Jazzy McBee Follow @JazzyMcBee

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, wait… it’s just Captain Save-A-Ho . Almost two years ago, Drake fell head over size 12 heels for Houston stripper Maliah Michele after he saw her dance and ended up flying her out to Jamaica to be play the lead in his ‘Find Your Love’ music video. What happened afterward is somewhat a blur but a year or two later, both seemed to have moved on and it looks like things didn’t end so amicably. Yesterday he quietly crept out of Marvin’s Room and hopped on Twitter for a little sub-tweeting: Although Drake may or may not have been tweeting about Maliah, she definitely took it to heart. She tweeted back: Drizzy responded: Meanwhile back at the ranch when Maliah’s followers caught on to what was going on: What happened to the good ole’ days of just unfollowing someone when they started getting out of pocket on twitter? We’re not sure if Drake was even talking about Maliah but someone sure does seem pretty ticked off. Source Twitter More On Bossip!
