Fun.’s ‘Some Nights’ Video On The Way, Xylophones And All

‘We’re filming it through the middle of the night,’ the Movie Awards performers tells MTV News of nocturnal clip. By James Montgomery Fun. Photo: Courtesy of Fueled By Ramen Last month, Fun. promised that the video for “Some Nights” — the follow-up to their chart-topping breakout “We Are Young” — would be “amazing,” which was a pretty big statement, considering they hadn’t even come up with a concept at the time. But now, all that has changed. Because when MTV News caught up with the guys last week to discuss their upcoming performance at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards , they let it be known that not only have they settled on a treatment for the “Some Nights” clip, but that, yes, it is going to be as amazing as promised. “The ‘Some Nights’ video is coming; we’re going to start filming it next week,” frontman Nate Ruess said. “We’re going to try and get it out as soon as possible. It’s been really rough, because we’ve been on tour for the last two months, so we found a night off — that was all we get, and we have to rush to a show the next day — but I know we’re going to make the most of it, because the director has a brilliant concept and it’s something that doesn’t put as much pressure on us, other than just to perform and perform well, and he’s going to set an amazing scene around us.” And while Fun. wouldn’t reveal all the details about the video, they did let a few plot points out of the bag — namely, it’s going to be a nocturnal affair (“There are lanterns,” Ruess said) and there will most definitely be a xylophone in play. Other than that, though, well, you’ll just have to wait and see. “We’re filming it through the middle of the night,” guitarist Jack Antonoff said. “And Andrew [Dost] is going to be walking with a xylophone at some point, not to give away too much.” “Now, you’re giving away too much,” Dost laughed. “All right, fine, I’m walking with a xylophone.” The 21st annual MTV Movie Awards air live Sunday, June 3 at 9 p.m. ET/PT from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.

Madonna’s Truth Or Dare Fragrance ’15 Or 16 Years’ In The Making

Queen of Pop tells MTV News that scent is for those ‘daring enough to tell the truth.’ By John Mitchell, with reporting by Rob Imbriani Madonna Photo: MTV News Have you ever wanted to smell like royalty? Well, now’s your chance. We may not have kings and queens here in democratic America, but we’ve made our celebrities — pop stars in particular — our own sort of royalty, and none is more regal than Queen of Pop Madonna . On the heels of her acclaimed album MDNA and with a massive, largely sold-out world tour looming, Her Madgesty launched her first-ever fragrance, Truth or Dare, Thursday night in New York, and she tells MTV News that the fresh, gardenia-based scent has been a long time coming. “This is finally the time that I developed a fragrance that I liked the smell of,” Madonna said when asked why she was entering the celebrity scent game now. “I’ve been trying to develop a fragrance for the last 15 or 16 years.” “Madonna’s Manager Confirms That ‘Turn Up The Radio’ Will Be Next MDNA Single” So who is the scent perfect for? Madonna has a few thoughts. “Someone who is daring, daring enough to tell the truth,” she said before adding, “and someone who likes gardenias.” Some Madonna watchers have found it curious that the always forward-thinking pop diva would draw on something so well known from her past — her historic Blond Ambition Tour documentary “Madonna: Truth or Dare,” which recently dropped on BluRay — for the name of her new fragrance. M explained that there’s a very simple reason for the name choice. “My manager [Guy Oseary], he just held a gun to my head and said, ‘Call it this or you’re not going to have a manager anymore,’ and I said OK,” Madonna deadpanned. After clarifying that she was joking (we figured as much: No one tells Madonna what to do!), the singer elaborated that “truth or dare” is “a phrase that is related to me and my work and what I stand for. I think I’ve had a fairly daring career and I’m pretty honest about my work, so I think that goes with my perfume.” Related Artists Madonna

Katy Perry’s Hair History: Her Best Looks … So Far!

After Perry tweeted that she’s changed up her locks (again), MTV News remembers her more daring ‘dos. By Jocelyn Vena Katy Perry Photo: Steve Granitz/ Getty Images Breaking news: Katy Perry has changed her hair again! The singer took to Twitter to announce that she’s found a new hair color, but her fans will have to wait to find out what it is. “You know what’s great about having poison oak?! NOTHING #itchgasm Somehow in the middle of all this… I found time to change my hair color,” she wrote. “Finally… #takeaguess #foreverawalkingpantonepalette.” Despite not sharing too much about her hair color, she did offer up this tidbit of a tease about her current look: “Pretty stoked about my 90’s The Craft meets Garbage meets Tank Girl meets early No Doubt meets Ty from Clueless lewk 4 dis wknd #ohmygoth.” Perry had famously been sporting berry-blue hair since January, changing the hue and length but maintaining indigo as the base, strutting her blue self all over carpets, hitting up events and wearing it in an ad campaign for Adidas . “Of course, being Katy, she is a lot more edgy and she’s cooler and she likes to take a lot of risks. And I love that she’s like, ‘I’m feeling a little blue, let’s go blue’ — not in her energy, just in her hair color,” Perry’s hair colorist , Rita Hazan, explained to MTV News. “I felt like it’s the perfect color for her, because her eyes are blue and she has the perfect skin tone to be a really vibrant, really cool, intense blue.” Now, it seems that Perry has once again changed up her look — and Hazan said that’s just Katy being Katy. “She’s kind of this candy-coated sort of person,” Hazan said. “It’s nice to see her experiment with different things.” Fans might have to wait to see what Perry’s latest look is, but to tide you over, MTV News has rounded up some of Perry’s wildest, most memorable hairstyles — so far. 2010 Kids’ Choice Awards Perry kept it traditionally Katy, sporting what happens to be her signature look: black hair with cropped, Bettie Page-style bangs. To make the look even more Perry-fied, she graced the carpet in a multicolored, sparkly, showgirl-style bodysuit and sparkly heels. 2011 Grammys In a particularly glam moment, Perry softened her sometimes-severe hair and went for soft waves. Sure, it was still jet-black, but the middle part and the curls fit the occasion, giving her a truly old school Hollywood look, certainly matching her angelic ensemble. “Smurfs” Premiere Later in 2011, Perry began to get more and more experimental with her hair color. Transitioning out of the black, Katy hit up the “Smurfs” red carpet in July surprisingly not in blue hair, but in an ombre look that faded from blonde to strawberry blonde. She paid homage to Smurfette by donning a sequined dress with the character’s image on it. 2011 VMAs Pulling a completely funky move on her way through the rainbow, shortly after the “Smurfs” premiere, she hit up the VMAs in late August with piercing pink hair. It was a look she adopted right before going blonde and then settling on the blue. Dressed up like a couture geisha, Perry’s lavender-hued pink was flirty and fun. 2012 Kids’ Choice Awards Throwing her blue hair for a loop, Perry hit up the Kids’ Choice Awards last month with a multihued ponytail. With touches of purple and blue, the neon hair recalled lots of the colors she had been sporting over the last few months, serving as the perfect farewell to this phase of her hair evolution. Plus, it just happened to go perfectly with her bright-green outfit. Do you have a favorite Katy Perry hair look? Tell us in the comments! Related Artists Katy Perry

Anonymous Actress Tells Disgusting Story

I told them to quit with all the sex scenes , but noooo : “Not to mention any names, but one actor came on me during the take. I had to surreptitiously wipe myself off with the sheet. Fortunately, I liked the guy. I found it a little flattering and a little creepy. We never talked about it, so I can’t tell you if it was Method acting on his part or if he just found me pretty, but I suspect I’m not the only actress who’s had this experience. But I can tell you that twenty years later, when I run into him, my first thought is, There’s the guy that had on-camera sex with my abdomen .” [ Vulture ] [Photo via Shutterstock ]

Sure, Katniss Everdeen is Just Like Rosa Parks

Oh, God, here we go again : “‘Katniss’s act of self-sacrifice [volunteering to take her sister’s place in the games] is a trigger for an entire revolution. She draws an ethical line that she won’t cross over and it serves as such a beautiful example for people,’ [director Gary] Ross said. ‘That assertion of her own individual ethics ultimately triggers a revolution just as it was one Tunisian flower vendor that led to the revolt that rifled through the Middle East last year. Or Rosa Parks refusing to sit in the back of the bus. It usually comes down to an act of individual ethics that can trigger something like that.'” [ LAT ]

Grand Jury to Hear Trayvon Martin Case, Mull Charges Against George Zimmerman

Trayvon Martin’s girlfriend, who was on the phone with him before the unarmed teen was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, will testify before a grand jury. The grand jury will be impaneled April 10 to determine if Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain, should be charged with murder, according to reports. The Trayvon Martin case gained national attention after he was gunned down by Zimmerman, who felt he was acting suspiciously in his gated community. Martin was unarmed, and even though a 911 dispatcher told Zimmerman not to pursue Martin, he subsequently shot the teenager, claiming self defense. To the outrage of many, local law enforcement in Sanford, Fla., declared that there wasn’t enough evidence to charge Zimmerman with a crime in the February killing. Amid public outcry, the Florida State Attorney’s Office has since announced that a grand jury would ultimately decide if he should face criminal charges, however. The FBI and the U.S. Justice Department have also launched investigations. The 17-year-old Martin was on the phone with his girlfriend, whose name has not been released because she’s a minor, as Zimmerman began to follow him. Sanford Police never questioned Trayvon’s girlfriend, even though her parents contacted the cops to tell them she wanted to come in for a full interview. A grand jury will now give her that chance to tell her side of the story. “Trayvon’s girlfriend has been told that the (Fla.) State Attorney’s Office has prepared a subpoena for her to appear in front of the grand jury,” a police source said. Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee Jr. temporarily stepped down from his position Thursday, after he came under fire for not arresting Zimmerman in the case. Zimmerman called 911 46 times in 2011, according to records. Not a single one of those calls resulted in an arrest or further action being needed by police.

Jason Biggs Parodies Jason Russell Naked Video

In random news, American Reunion star Jason Biggs stripped down in the middle of a news building in an apparent parody of Jason Russell’s naked meltdown . Jason’s friends at the Invisible Children organization, which produced the viral phenomenon Kony 2012 video, were definitely NOT amused by Biggs’ antics. Then again, they’re responding probably the best way they can. “Who’s Jason Biggs? Was he famous once or something?” asked a rep in response. Ouch. Anyway, while Russell remains hospitalized for the serious psychotic episode, here’s Biggs doing his naked thing at Chicago’s WGN, for reasons unknown: Jason Biggs Mocks Kony 2012 Guy

38 Reasons to Never Go to the Movies Again

Still feeling nihilistic ? So’s Michael Musto ! “Apparently, you pay Scientology, and they help your career big time. But in the old days, the studios closeted you for free! … I’d rather read an old Pauline Kael review of a movie than watch the actual movie. … The film biz should pick one day out of the calendar year and declare it ‘No Fart Jokes or Car Crashes Day.’ … And how about ‘No Pretentious, Scenery-Chewing Oscar-Grubbing Month’ (and let’s make it December)? … Every important film from an auteur bloats in at exactly two hours and 20 minutes. One second less would obviously be a creative abortion. … Today’s stars should never do historical epics. Chin implants and pillow lips look funny in the Middle Ages. … Opening credits have become ridiculous. ‘Dingdong Films, under the auspices of Crapola Productions, in association with FilMagic, Cinema Paradise, and Rutgers University, along with Kazilloscope Matters Inc., and Hempstead Futons, Presents an Ashton Kutcher Joint …'” [ Village Voice ] [Photo via Shutterstock ]
