Movie was caught up in lawsuits between producers and Tupac’s mom, Afeni Shakur. By Jayson Rodriguez Tupac Shakur Photo: Ron Galella/ WireImage Filming for the much-ballyhooed Tupac Shakur biopic can finally begin. The producers of the movie and the late rapper’s mother have reached a settlement over their creative differences that will allow the production to begin, according to Reuters. For two years, Afeni Shakur and Morgan Creek Productions have been tangled in litigation as each side accused the other of sabotaging the project. In 2009, Morgan Creek filed a lawsuit against Shakur claiming she agreed to terms with the company but was using the terms “as a floor to pursue further negotiations” with other parties. Shakur countersued, alleging producers were interfering with negotiations as she and Morgan Creek had not reached final terms. Prior to reaching a settlement, sources said Shakur met with the project’s director, Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day”), and he assured the rapper’s mother — who oversees the Tupac Shakur estate — his vision aligns with hers. Reportedly, as a part of the settlement Afeni Shakur will receive an executive-producer credit, a share of the film’s profits and a flat fee for agreeing to the deal. Casting for the lead role is set to begin immediately. As was the case with “Notorious,” the biopic of Shakur friend-turned-rival Notorious B.I.G., Fuqua will hold a national call for actors to play the fiery rapper. Last year, the director said in an interview that he felt an unknown actor should take on the role. “That’s the goal, I want to discover someone new,” Fuqua explained. “I want to discover a lot of new people if I can. Obviously I’m going to have to put some people in it that you know, just because actors have different skills. I want to go to the streets and find him anywhere he might be in the world.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Bieber fever has hit London! 1000′s of beliebers came to ee 16 year old Canadian singer Justin Bieber’s first movie ‘Never Say Never’ film premiere held at Cineworld O2 in London, England February 16th, 2011. The premiere was as crazy as the premiere in both Canada and the USA with thousands of screaming fans. The movie tracks Justin’s progress from being a musically gifted child to being spotted by Usher and becoming an international star. It is part biopic, part concert film and certainly a teen pleaser, “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” is a big, glossy celebration of Justin Bieber who knows exactly what he needs to do to send his target audience of ‘tween girls into a frenzy of screaming.’ Right now the bulk of the hard core beliebers are under 15 years of age. But over the next couple of years as Justin’s voice changes and he completes his adolescence the adorable teen will be a young man. If Justin is to maintain anything close to his current hysterical popularity he will have to become a sexy man reeking of virility like an Elvis or Mick Jagger. Clearly Justin does not possesses the musical genius of a Michael Jackson or a Prince and so he is going to have to rely on the hunkyness factor to keep his mammoth popularity. Will you go and see the movie? I have not seen it yet! Click on the thumbnails below to enlarge! Image credit to WENN.com Tweet

Hit show covered two Bieber songs on Tuesday night’s episode. By Aly Semigran “Glee” cast on Tuesday’s episode Photo: FOX Just in time to mend the wounded hearts of Justin Bieber fans still reeling from his Grammy loss on Sunday, “Glee” paid tribute to the pop powerhouse the best way they know how: by covering two of his hit songs, “Baby” and “Somebody to Love.” During Tuesday night’s new episode, “Comeback,” Chord Overstreet’s worrisome Sam attempts to woo back his possibly straying lady (Dianna Agron) by serenading her in glee club’s practice room with a rendition of Bieber’s “Baby.” But before a Bieber-ized Chord (The purple hoodie! The hair!) belted out the simple yet addictive chorus — “I was like, baby, baby, baby, ooh,” — on the show, the song, and its subsequent video, helped propel Bieber to staggering fame. Released as the lead single off of Bieber’s gold-certified debut studio album My World 2.0, “Baby” first hit the airwaves in late January 2010. The song begins quietly, with Bieber harmonizing accompanied by a guitar, and unfolds into a three-and-a-half-minute unapologetic pop/R&B smash. Bieber co-wrote the track with rapper Ludacris (who appears on the song), Christina Milian, and Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and Terius “The-Dream” Nash (both of whom also worked with the 16-year-old on his single “One Time”), and it has been his biggest single to date. Though it never reached #1 on the Billboard charts (it debuted at #5 on the Hot 100 ) in the United States, nor in Bieber’s native Canada, “Baby” became certified platinum the world over. The song fared even better as a digital download , going to #1 in the U.S. after it was released on March 23, 2010. Bieber continued to bring “Baby” to the masses, performing the song on various TV programs like “Saturday Night Live” (he was the musical guest on April 10, 2010), “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “The Kids Choice Awards” and the “Today” show, in which throngs of Beliebers showed up on the plaza at Rockefeller Center to sing along. But it’s the music video for “Baby” that’s made the biggest impact. The clip features cameos by Bieber’s friend and fellow Canadian performer Drake, as well as “Baby” collaborator Lucadris. ‘Cris, who first met Bieber in Atlanta in 2009, told MTV News last year that the video reminded him of “a 2010 version of Michael Jackson’s ‘The Way You Make Me Feel.’ ” While Ludacris predicted, “Mark my word, [‘Baby’ is] going to be one of the biggest songs of the year 2010,” there was no indication of things to come for the video. Last week, ReadWriteWeb.com reported that Bieber’s “Baby” clip is the most-watched YouTube video of all time. It currently has a staggering 463,506,023 hits, besting other viral vids like Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” and “Charlie Bit Me.” Since then, the song has been included on the compilation album Now 34: That’s What I Call Music! and is currently featured in Bieber’s 3-D documentary/concert film “Never Say Never” and has been used in the movie’s trailers. The G-rated movie earned an impressive $30.3 million in its opening weekend. What did you think of the “Glee” renditions of Bieber’s songs? Tell us in the comments.

Jon M. Chu said to be working on version with new footage that may be released in theaters this month. By Eric Ditzian Justin Bieber in “Never Say Never” Photo: Paramount With a running time of one hour and 45 minutes, Justin Bieber’s “Never Say Never” packs in 3-D concert footage, home videos, behind-the-scenes looks, interviews with everyone from Snoop Dogg to the pop star’s vocal coach and extended, slow-motion shots of the 16-year-old shaking out his famous locks. Perhaps, however, you didn’t get your fill of the kid — perhaps your Bieber Fever rages on. In which case, you might be in luck. New York magazine’s Vulture blog reports that Paramount Pictures is making plans for a director’s cut of the film, following its $29.5 million opening this past weekend. Director Jon M. Chu is said to be working on an updated version of the movie, including new live performances, footage of Bieber at the “Never Say Never” premiere and various advance screenings, and potentially scenes shot at the Grammy Awards on Sunday. The studio is reportedly waiting for delivery of the re-cut film before deciding if it will be released in theaters late in February or as part of a special DVD. MTV News’ request for comment to Paramount (which, like MTV News, is owned by Viacom) was not returned as of press time. Box-office grosses for the concert film are likely to decline in the coming weeks, following Bieber fans’ initial pilgrimage to multiplexes during opening weekend, and the re-cut film could dramatically boost its B.O. bottom line. If the new version does hit theaters, it will likely be as a 3-D-only release, as the cost of releasing digital prints is significantly less than printing and shipping film prints. A final decision on a release will be made once Chu finishes the cut after returning from international premieres in London and Paris.
