Atletico Madrid beat Real Mallorca 3-0 on Monday to maintain their hunt for a European place and ease the pressure on coach Quique Sanchez Flores, pictured in 2010. Atletico Madrid downed Mallorca 3-0 on Monday to move into the Europa League positions at the midway point in the Spanish league season. The game promised to be a tough test for Atletico without injured forward Sergio Aguero and facing a Mallorca that had already won at Sevilla and Valencia and earned a rare point at Barcelona.

Jane Krakowski, who is expecting a child with her clothing-designer fiancé Robert Godley, looked ravishing in a Badgley Mischka maternity dress, which she said was custom made. “The funniest bit was that the baby bump was the most beautiful part from the very beginning,” she said. “I was like, #39;You guys do this masterfully!#39; ” Jane Krakowski#39;s unborn child is accomplishing more in utero than most kids dream of – like meeting a certain teen pop star at Sunday#39;s Golden Globe Awards.

‘I have this opportunity to bring that darker, even weirder sound to this new, ever-growing audience,’ he tells MTV News of digitizing his back catalog. By Adam Stewart Richi Hawtin aka Plastikman Photo: MTV News Richie Hawtin’s Plastikman alter ego feels that something is missing from our current state of dance music, and he’s doing something about it. “There are hundreds, if not thousands, of electronic-music dance tracks coming out each day, so there are black holes in its history that need to be digitized. For us in the electronic-music world, we haven’t had our Beatles [iTunes] moment yet,” said Hawtin, who just scored the #2 slot on Resident Advisor’s Top DJs of 2010 readers poll. “There’s still a lot of the electronic music history missing online.” This notion is what prompted Hawtin, under his Plastikman moniker, to release Arkives , a retrospective of the dark side of a dance-music pioneer. “Plastikman always comes back when I feel there’s something to say or there’s something missing in the scene,” Hawtin said. “I have this opportunity — or maybe even this responsibility — to bring that darker, even weirder sound to this new, ever-growing audience. “This is what I’m doing with my Arkives project,” he continued. “I’m trying to bring that stuff back, digitize it and represent it for those new fans of Hawtin or deadmau5 and say, ‘Hey, if you’re really into electronic music right now in 2010 — I don’t want to give you a history lesson, but there is some foundation that you’d probably find interesting and get in to.’ ” In a day where dance music is reaching the masses, big-room house and trance seem to reign supreme. Plastikman, however, has set out on a mission to keep the dark and sinister side of the genre alive, and in doing so, he has inspired some of the biggest names in the biz. “I love that guy!” deadmau5 told MTV News of one of his key musical influences. “He’s someone who I definitely look at for wisdom. We’re billed at a lot of the same events, and we click! We’re the two ‘hoser Canadians,’ like, in the middle of Madrid, and he’s a really good guy.” “To hear that what I’ve been doing has been working, and continues to work, gives me that power to hopefully be inspired and keep reinspiring the next generation,” Hawtin told MTV News. “I want more kids to grow up thinking that technology is just as much of an instrument as a guitar or a drum.” As founder and co-founder of Minus and Plus 8 Records, respectively, Hawtin has made an indelible mark on the industry as a producer and a technological pioneer. Not only did he develop Traktor DJ software, but he is also one of the founding fathers of online EMD retailer Beatport. Hawtin has had a hand in guiding the entire industry toward what it is today, while at the same time keeping its roots intact. “Electronic music is not pop or pop music; it’s a little bit fringe,” he said. “And I want it to be fringe in a way, a little bit just to the left side. … It’s my belief that if we help build that language and keep that foundation there, then it only opens up the possibilities for cooler things to happen.” 2011 promises to be a banner year for Hawtin, as he gears up for a whirlwind global tour. Starting with a New Year’s Eve performance at Mexico’s BPM, Hawtin then jet-sets to Spain several dates before turning around and heading back to Mexico to close out the weeklong BPM. After a rare month back in his studio in Germany, he’ll be off to Australia’s Future Music Festival and, finally, Miami in late March, where he and his camp intend to keep their shows in line with the Ultra Music Festival, not the official Winter Music Conference . “We have these moments through the year, the Electric Zoo here [in New York], the Detroit [Electronic Music] Festival, the Winter Music Conference — these are the dates we count on as DJs and as businesspeople to come and promote and have fun, and we’ve been doing that for years. And for someone to try to change that? At the end of the day, I think the electronic-music scene is a great and very strong music community, and that’s why you’ll see a great and strong community come through this with a great weekend in the end of March.”

Jared Leto labored day and night to finish eventual 13-minute-plus short film. By James Montgomery 30 Seconds to Mars’ Jared Leto in “Hurricane” Photo: EMI In early November, following his band’s performance of “Hurricane” with Kanye West at the 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards and months of adjective-filled hyperbole about the single’s accompanying video, Jared Leto finally unveiled 30 Seconds to Mars’ “Hurricane” clip on Monday (November 29). OK, “short film.” The singer decided to provide the sneak peek during an impromptu (though well-catered) screening for a handful of folks — including MTV News — in his bedroom at the ME Hotel in Madrid. It was very late at night (or very early in the morning, depending on how you choose to look at these sort of things), and Leto was extremely clear about the fact that this was still “a very rough cut” of the video, playing the thing on a MacBook Pro and pausing every few frames to explain where a CG effect would be inserted or how the sound design would be shaped. But despite those facts (or, maybe, because of them), everyone left that bedroom thinking the exact same thing: “How the heck is Jared going to pull this off?” You couldn’t blame them, because just weeks later, the final, 13-minute version debuted on MTV.com, and it did, indeed, contain a number of impressive CGI effects of the type you might see in a Hollywood superhero summer movie, not to mention enough NC-17-rated material to make “Eyes Wide Shut” look like “Love & Other Drugs” by comparison. At the time, not only was “Hurricane” clocking in at around 20 minutes , it was sort of insane, too: a nightmarish rumination on sex and violence and secret fetishes that not only featured plenty of fight scenes (and nudity), but didn’t shy away from politically loaded imagery. Among the ones that made the cut was one in which a rabbi, priest and imam are seen tossing their holy prayer books onto a blazing pyre in a dank alley and another in which Leto battled a leather-masked foe in a courtyard littered with American-flag-draped coffins. (Spoiler alert, someone you know ends up in one of those coffins.) Part snuff film, part BBC World report, it was, in short, filled with the kind of stuff that makes censors cringe, in an era where that’s increasingly difficult to do. Following some cuts, the finished product contains a number of scenes seemingly too-hot-to-handle, which are dispatched with a big black “censored” bar. Though given the copious nudity, S&M play, barely there fetish gear and one quick-cut image of a woman spitting into another’s mouth, you kind of have to wonder what was so deviant that it couldn’t make the cut among all these dark fantasies? Add in the fact that Leto was attempting to weave three separate narratives — the members of 30STM each battling their personal demons and unlocking secret fantasies — in between all that sex and blood and book-burning, and you have the makings of a major undertaking. Considering that, according to his label, the video was due to premiere at the end of the month, Leto was then cutting the thing full-time, in the midst of a world tour, with the help of a team of editors that traveled with him everywhere he went. It seemed that, in just about every conceivable manner, “Hurricane” was a monster, an ode to not only Leto’s ego, but his unyielding ambition and utterly unmatched enthusiasm, which, in theory, made it not unlike everything he’s ever attempted with 30 Seconds to Mars. But everyone who saw it that night in Madrid knew differently. “Hurricane” may very well have been Leto going too far, pushing too hard. It seemed practically destined to remain forever unfinished. But, like the song’s guest rapper West, Leto is a hard man to deter, and he clearly got his way, delivering a 13-minute mind-bender that involves secret keys that unlock dark fears, treachery, seduction, submission, an unexplained cockroach cameo, a silver sexual aid on a platter and enough creepy masks to make Slipknot shudder. Somehow, by Monday, Leto had wrangled all those dark thoughts and visions into one dizzying whole and brought “Hurricane” home for its premiere. It would have been hard to find many people in the room that night who would have put money on “Hurricane” coming ashore in such record time. Well, except Leto. He knew.

How Did 30 Seconds To Mars Pull Off Ambitious ‘Hurricane’ Video?
Clip mixes fetish looks with cinema-worthy stunts, but no Kanye West cameo. By Gil Kaufman 30 Seconds to Mars’ Jared Leto in “Hurricane” Photo: EMI Jared Leto never goes halfway. That’s why the epic video for 30 Seconds to Mars’ new single “Hurricane” sometimes feels like a summer blockbuster squished down into a 16-minute box. Part “Eyes Wide Shut” fetish flick, part action movie and all a bit confusing, the video that director Bartholomew Cubbins (a.k.a. Leto) has been promising will be “very sexual,” violent and a “surrealistic nightmare dream-fantasy” is all those things and more. Plus a lot of things we can’t even really get into here. Premiering on MTV.com on Monday (November 29), the mini-movie is broken into chapters, beginning with movie-style titles announcing “Hurricane,” then the subtitles “this is not reality” and “this is a dream.” As Chapter 1, “Birth,” unfolds, ominous lighting flashes over New York City at night as drummer Shannon Leto speeds through its streets on a motorcycle. A shirtless Jared Leto is awakened in his apartment by a knock on the door only to find nobody there and a stack of Polaroid surveillance photos of him lying in bed (shirtless, of course). A creepy gimp wearing a black suit and leather mask and toting a sledgehammer bursts into the room, sending Leto flying out of a 40-story window to the street below. The gimp is right behind him and danger lurks all around as guitarist Tomo Milicevic encounters a woman in black leather bunny fetish gear being led around a subway station by another leather-masked baddie. Milicevic dispatches the dude with a gut punch and makes out with the fetish queen, yanking a key on a red rope out of his mouth after their hookup. Chapter 2, “Life,” begins with Shannon crashing his bike to avoid running over a woman lying prone in the street, even as his brother dresses up a lingerie-wearing beauty in a leather eye-mask and horse’s bit. The beautiful stranger stabs Shannon in the gut unexpectedly, yet he’s fine enough to toss the key in slow motion into the street. And then, believe it or not, that’s when things get really weird. A rabbi, a priest and an imam show up and toss their respective holy books into a bonfire in an alley (also in slow motion, natch), and Leto jogs by a building where he finds the key hanging out of a door. Cue quick-cut scenes of a silver knife, a cockroach, a woman spitting into another woman’s mouth, a buxom beauty in a steampunk gas mask, some back licking, booty smacking and handcuff play, not to mention yet another black-barred image with the words “Censored Sisyphus Corporation” over them, and you have the perfect setup for Leto walking through rows of caskets draped in the American flag as the sledgehammer dude clocks him in the face. Leto falls into his own coffin and is nailed in it before the camera cuts to a pair of topless women in fishnet stockings guarding a door and striking provocative poses as an unseen hand takes the lid off a plate containing, yes, a silver vibrator. Ominous music begins to play while a procession of death-mask-wearing marchers bearing torches make their way through Central Park, where Shannon meets up with his assailant, kisses her and is promptly shackled to a park bench. Dude, how could you fall for that again? Surrounded by guys in creepy bunny and bird masks, he uses the key to unshackle himself and beat them up, while brother Jared is freaking out inside the casket and uses his red key to set himself free. He drops down into the street amid a stream of other unmentionable fetish clips while Tomo uses his red key to unlock a book with a secret message in it that we never get to see. Which brings us to Chapter 3, “Death,” opening with children scrawling in an alley with sidewalk chalk and Jared realizing his torso is covered with cryptic tattoos. He doesn’t seem to mind, as he’s busy hooking up with a beauty in lingerie. Censored scene, more fetish play, Shannon making out with his girl again, Jared taking the masked gimp to the cleaners in a slo-mo fistfight, a strobe-light recap of the whole thing, and somehow 16 minutes have passed by in a daze. When he teased the clip at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Madrid earlier this month, Leto said the point was to weave three separate narratives together — the members of 30STM each battling their personal demons and unlocking secret fantasies — in between all that sex and blood and book-burning. But, alas, given how busy 30STM and Kanye West both are at the moment, the Yeezy cameo didn’t come together for this cut of the film. Maybe next time. What do you think of the “Hurricane” video?

But Arizmendi’s left-foot shot in the 69th minute earned a point for Getafe at El Riazor stadium. Valencia leads the standings with nine points, two more than Real Madrid and Sevill

MSNBC is very upset about one “highly-unregulated industry” and its “questionable and even abusive” working conditions. What industry? Coal mining or perhaps sewage treatment? No. Keli Goff, an author and political analyst who has a “Daily Rant” on MSNBC’s “Dylan Ratigan Show,” was complaining about the working conditions of models. That’s right, models. The people paid to walk down runways in designer clothing and be photographed for magazines and advertisements that as Goff put it, essentially are “paid for being beautiful.” Every industry has its own problems and accidents, but is the modeling industry really a “human rights” issue as MSNBC would have its viewers believe? Goff detailed “disturbing” complaints from models and promoted regulation and unionization of the industry. She even called for a “home-grown supermodel” to become the “Norma Rae of the fashion industry.” “Union! As Norma Rae said,” Goff declared. Norma Rae was a movie starring Sallie Field about a minimum-wage cotton mill worker, based on the life of an actual textile worker who battled to unionize her mill. But some of the conditions Goff mentioned cannot compare to the tough working conditions of many other industries. She complained about the lack of health insurance and worker’s comp for a model that had been burned by a photographers’ bulb, but didn’t mention whether or not the model could afford her own health care. According to San Diego Model Management, in most markets models make an hourly rate of $150 and usually have minimum number of hours (3-4) for print modeling. In bigger markets like New York City ” it’s not unusual for a model to make 5 or 6 thousand a day ,” the company’s website states. True, there are agency fees but the models definitely aren’t exactly scraping by on minimum wage. But it was the obsession with too thin models that really upset Goff and prompted her call for regulation of the U.S. fashion industry. “After being discovered walking down the street, [Gerren] Taylor walked in her first fashion show at the age of 12 and was strutting for high profile designers like Tommy Hilfiger by age 13. Her career however was over by age 14, having been told she’d become ‘too obese’ for runways. Taylor’s measurements: Six feet tall and a size 4,” Goff said. Goff continued: “Taylor’s story reinforces a reason the fashion industry needs regulation. Fashion’s developed a sick obsession with looking sickly thin in recent years.” Certainly, many designers are obsessed with thin but that problem shouldn’t be solved by regulation. Designers are in a business, and they sell a product. So if their product, in this case clothing promoted by very thin women, won’t sell, then they’ll have to change or lose business. Despite Goff’s support for Madrid and London regulations about size and age of models, the U.S. government should not be in the business of telling designers what size models they can hire to show off their clothing lines. Additionally, Goff cited concern about the fact that many models work long before they turn 18, but she didn’t mention anything in her “rant” about parental responsibility or involvement. It wasn’t until Dylan Ratigan asked about parents in his final question that she said they have often “relinquished” [control] and there isn’t much oversight “in the field.” Perhaps, Goff should have complained about the lack of parental involvement and called on models’ parents to be in control of protection their children instead of asking for the government to step in as nanny.
