‘Fans should be able to check this out and just see my visualization of the song,’ ‘Community’ star-turned-rapper tells MTV News. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Ross McAlpine Childish Gambino Photo: MTV News Don’t call Childish Gambino ‘s upcoming “Heartbeat” clip a video; rather, it’s a reflection of how the actor-turned-rapper was feeling when he recorded it. “I do not really have a set of things in mind. I thought the best way to convey the feeling that’s in the song was to be confused ourselves,” Childish Gambino, a.k.a. “Community” star Donald Glover, told MTV News last week during a break from filming the clip in Van Nuys, California. “I guess when it’s all said and done, fans should be able to check this out and just see my visualization of the song.” “Heartbeat” — from CG’s debut album, Camp — is an electrified breakup song equipped with pulsating drums and buzzing synth chords. The rapper, who is better known (for now) for his role as Troy Barnes on “Community,” enlisted director Kyle Newacheck to shoot the visual. Newacheck directed an episode of the NBC comedy back in 2009. In the month leading up to his November release, Childish told MTV News that Camp was a “labor of love.” With the independently released LP, Gambino aimed to tell a story. “The biggest compliment I can give it is that I like it more than everything else I’ve done,” he said. “I think it’s a cohesive piece, and I wanted to tell a whole story with it. Hopefully, the whole album is like a book or a novel where [there’s] a through line.” “Heartbeat” is simply a chapter in that story, and its video will be reflective. “This is kinda like the mood of the song,” Gambino said. “I wouldn’t say it’s so much a video as much as it is just a mood.” What are you expecting from Childish’s “Heartbeat” video?

It’s not exactly a well kept secret that I’m in love with Kelly Brook , she’s my favorite busty British hottie right now, so getting shots of her all tarted up in a sexy photoshoot makes today an extra special day. Who thought daisy dukes and a bra could look this good? I can’t really tell if that’s a see through dress she’s wearing, I think it is, but I’m willing to spend about thirteen minutes thoroughly examining the pictures in order to find out. Where’s that old sock?
I’m really glad I found these pictures of hottie Maryse Ouellet , I was in the mood for some French Canadian hotness today. The woman is sexy, she seems to belong in skimpy little swimsuits. She also looks like she belongs in my bathtub, hanging out drinking wine coolers while I help bathe her. She can still wear the bikini if she likes, but I’ll be completely naked of course. Call me.
Tran Anh Hung’s Norwegian Wood is meticulously faithful to the book it’s based on, Haruki Murakami’s 1987 novel of the same name: It takes no significant liberties with the plot, and it captures the novel’s delicate, half-hopeful, half-mournful tone. So why, unlike its source material, does it feel only half-alive? It’s so easy, too easy, to get lost in the book-vs.-movie debate. But a movie like Norwegian Wood is a peculiar case – its intentions are sterling, and it’s hard to pinpoint any technical flaws. The problem, maybe, is that it’s trying too hard; Tran has such firm control over the storytelling that the resulting picture has no room to breathe. Watanabe (Kenichi Matsuyama) is an aimless young university student in late-1960s Tokyo. His closest friend, Kizuki, committed suicide at age 17, leaving behind his childhood love, the fragile Naoko (Rinko Kikuchi, the Japanese actress who made a splash in the 2006 Babel ). Watanabe “inherits” the friendship of Naoko, and it seems that the two might fall in love. But Naoko disappears – the intensity of the blossoming relationship is too much for her, sexually and emotionally, and she enters a retreat-like sanitorium in the country. Though Watanabe continues, sweetly, to pine for her, he also starts tagging along with his more sexually adventurous roommate, Nagasawa (Tetsuji Tamayama). He also embarks on a fledgling friendship with another student, Midori (Kiko Mizuhara) ,who, unlike Naoko, seems boldly certain about what she wants out of life. She is, perhaps, a little too bold for Watanabe: She outlines her idea of the ideal lover (essentially, a man who will be at her beck and call, so she can then turn him away). And she informs him that she already has a boyfriend, anyway. Watanabe continues to visit Naoko in her forest retreat, though his time with her is nearly always supervised by Noako’s half-protective, half-possessive roommate, Reiko (Reika Kirishima). The rest of Norwegian Wood outlines the rather delicate dance between the things Watanabe might think he wants and the things he may actually be able to have. Tran adapted the screenplay himself, with obvious care and precision (though the resulting movie doesn’t do much to address, as Murakami’s novel did, the social unrest among young people in late-‘60s Tokyo). His actors have plenty of moments of grace and subtlety, particularly Kikuchi – somehow, she makes us see a deeply troubled soul in Naoko, not just a wan, self-absorbed victim of circumstance. And there isn’t a single frame in Norwegian Wood that isn’t gorgeous to look at: The cinematographer is Mark Lee Ping Bin, who also shot In the Mood for Love (sharing credit with Kwan Pung-Leung and Christopher Doyle), and every inch of the movie’s surface fairly glows. Or, rather, every millimeter glows — the picture creeps along at a very leisurely pace, which shouldn’t by itself be a problem. Norwegian Wood is Tran’s fifth feature. (The director, who was born in Vietnam and who lives in Paris, is perhaps best known for the 1993 The Scent of Green Papaya .) I kept watching Norwegian Wood waiting for that pleasant, wide-awake state of hypnosis to kick in, the slipstream effect that a well-constructed, slow-moving picture sets into gear. But for reasons that are hard to pinpoint, Norwegian Wood seems to be hampered by its own integrity; it’s like a ghost wearing a trailing nightie that’s just too long. Would the movie be more effective if every lingering shot were cut by just a second or two, or if the dialogue between characters had just a little more energy and crackle? Maybe. But whatever it is that’s wrong with Norwegian Wood couldn’t possibly be remedied by any quick fix. That’s both its tragedy and its virtue. Follow Stephanie Zacharek on Twitter .

It doesn’t take much for me to post pictures of busty British hottie Kelly Brook , she and I have been having an internet love affair for years now, so I’m always in the mood for some shots of her in a fancy dress. Especially when that fancy dress is designed to highlight her perfect chesticles. I love cleavage of all shapes and sizes, sometimes even old lady cleavage on the bus, but there’s something about fancy evening gown cleavage that really does it for me. I guess I’m just a high class kind of guy. more pictures of Kelly Brook here
Here’s one of the Attack Of The Show hotties, Candace Bailey , lounging around looking sexy in some hot chick lingerie. I don’t watch the show, but it looks to me like she’s about to give some lucky bastard a massage. I’ll take the happy ending please. If you’re also in the mood for a video of hottie Sara Jean Underwood accusing Candace of taking a dump in the washroom, you’re in luck. Gross. more pictures of Candace Bailey here
‘There’s a lot of comparisons to her real life, and that’s not at all the intention,’ director Melina Matsoukas tells MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena Rihanna Photo: Mike Coppola/ Getty Images Rihanna has kept everyone buzzing this week about her video for “We Found Love,” a dizzying look at addiction. Rihanna and her main man in the video, played by British model/boxer Dudley O’Shaughnessy, are not only addicted to drugs, but also each other. The clip’s director, Melina Matsoukas, said the video is a warning about the dangers of those types of dependencies. “We love, obviously, to do provocative imagery … we always try to definitely push the limits,” Matsoukas told MTV News. “I think because, in the end, it’s not really at all about domestic violence. It’s really just about it being toxic, and they’re on this drug trip and that definitely plays a part, but I think it’s also about being triumphant over those weaknesses, and she leaves him. It’s not trying to glorify that type of relationship. The bad parts of it, that’s what you don’t want. In the end, her leaving, it represents her getting that out of her life. The drugs and the addiction and the toxic — that’s what brings her downfall and brings a lot of harm.” The video was originally slated to shoot it in Brazil then it got moved to Belfast, Ireland. Rihanna trusted her longtime collaborator and gave her full control to come up with just the right treatment. The singer’s new hair and its more natural color helped shape the mood of the video and “how being really natural is forward-thinking.” The pair then got supermodel Agyness Deyn onboard to read the monologue, and soon, all the pieces of the puzzle came together. “It makes you feel so good, like you’re lost in electricity or love or whatever it is, you’re lost in it,” she said about the track. “Obviously, it feels easy to put her in a club with some lights … so it was really trying to capture that feeling and also what she’s singing about.” Seeking inspiration from “real, raw movies” like “Attack the Block,” “Kids,” “Trainspotting” and “Requiem for a Dream,” Matsoukas wanted to capture all that darkness in the video. “[The song’s] totally rave-y… and that’s the feeling, just music rushing over you, and then I started thinking about drugs and addiction and love and how that’s an addiction,” she said. “We’ve all lived the ups and downs of being in a toxic relationship. It’s really about the obstacles of trying to let it go, but at the same time how great it makes you feel, so it’s hard to let it go. “Again, it goes back to a story that we all can relate to,” she continued. “It’s not Rihanna’s story; it’s her story in the video, and she’s acting. But everybody’s [as well]. Obviously, there’s a lot of comparisons to her real life , and that’s not at all the intention. It’s just that I guess people naturally go there because art imitates life, and it’s a story we all relate to and we’ve all experienced. Like, it’s based on my life; it’s based on her life; it’s based on your life, like, everybody.” The video, in between moments of truly real situations, is made a bit dreamier thanks to imagery including a scene where Rihanna vomits ribbons. “All of it was supposed to be a bit surreal, but still real,” she said. “So it was finding those little moments like the cigarettes, the ribbons and all this archival footage in there, and the projection stuff throughout it gives it that surreal thing and what’s going on in her mind and her purging of her partying ways or whatever the toxic relationship was. And that’s what that’s supposed to represent.” What did you think of Rihanna’s “We Found Love” video? Share your reviews in the comments! Related Artists Rihanna

“Matthew, could you please let us know how you went about meeting your wife?” “Sure,” said Matthew Broderick. “Right after I’m assassinated.” Such was the mood late this afternoon at Guild Hall, where, at arguably the Hamptons Film Festival’s most anticipated event, Broderick sat for a conversation with his old friend and peer Alec Baldwin. Or mostly conversation, anyway, until the wild interruption from the balcony that nearly derailed a perfectly delightful chat about humble beginnings, John Hughes. Marlon Brando, Producers -mania, botched films and so much more.
