In this weekend’s Crazy, Stupid, Love (read Movieline’s review here), Julianne Moore plays Steve Carell’s bored wife whose office affair (and subsequent request for divorce) catapults her husband into Ryan Gosling’s impeccably toned arms for a man makeover and life overhaul. How did the North Carolina native evolve from playing a pair of conniving, clichéd half sisters on As the World Turns to one of the most reliably brilliant actresses in Hollywood?

‘I called my mom and I woke her up,’ the G.O.O.D. Music MC tells MTV News of finding out about his nod on tour. By Rob Markman Big Sean Photo: Theo Wargo/ WireImage Big Sean received his first VMA nomination on Wednesday, and hopefully it won’t be his last. In the opening scene of his “My Last” video with Chris Brown, Sean looks into the camera and says, “I feel like my dreams are coming true” — must be because the Detroit rhyme spitter is up for Best New Artist. “Man, I was hype as hell,” the G.O.O.D. Music MC told MTV News. “I called my mom at like midnight. I was in Charlotte [North Carolina] last night when I found out, and I called my mom and I woke her up,” said Sean, who is on tour with fellow Best New Artist nominee Wiz Khalifa. “I cracked a bottle and everything. That was a real big accomplishment.” The competition is tough, with Tyler, the Creator (“Yonkers”), Kreayshawn (“Gucci Gucci”) and indie poppers Foster the People (“Pumped Up Kicks”) also up for the award. Sean obviously wants to win, but just being in the conversation is a win for him. “I, of course, knew it was a possibility, but it’s tight to just see it actually come to fruition,” Sean said of his mind-set back when he filmed the video. “When I was on the set of the video, I was just hoping it comes out good. This is just like an added bonus.” Sean isn’t the only member of his crew nominated: His big homey Kanye West snagged seven nominations, including nods for Best Hip-Hop Video, Best Male Video and Best Collaboration for his “All of the Lights” clip. “He definitely deserves all of them, man, I think so,” Big Sean said. “Especially Best Collaboration. That was just crazy, ‘All of the Lights.’ He had Elton John, everybody on there, Fergie, Alicia Keys, Cudi, everybody, The-Dream.” The Finally Famous lyricist is in full support of his mentor. “Kanye always goes hard. I’m proud of him. I was telling him how proud of him I was the other day. He’s inspiring, he deserves every bit,” he said. “He gives his whole life to music, his whole life. He’s one of the most selfless people I know, so I’m excited. Hopefully, it’s gonna be a good night.” The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live on Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Young Money MC has been a rumored front-runner since Enrique Iglesias dropped out. By Alvin Blanco Nicki Minaj Photo: MTV News NEW YORK — Nicki Minaj confirmed to MTV News that she is in talks to join Britney Spears on her upcoming tour. We caught up with the Young Money princess before she performed at Casio’s TRYX OUT: NYC 2011 Launch Party at the Best Buy Theater on Thursday night. “I am in talks of joining Britney Spears, yeah,” Minaj said in the British accent of her Martha alter-ego . “I’m in talks about a lot of things, ya know. I don’t know — oops, I did it again.” Rumors of the possibility of Minaj becoming the opening act on the singer’s tour promoting Femme Fatale began circulating shortly after Enrique Iglesias dropped out of the lineup . Nicki is currently on the Lil Wayne-headlined I Am Still Music Tour , but that concludes May 1 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, while the Spears tour is scheduled to kick off June 17 in Sacramento, California. The hectic travel schedule — Nicki is set to fly out right after the Best Buy Theater performance to rejoin the I Am Still Music Tour on Friday (April 8) in Greensboro, North Carolina — is the Queens MC’s only qualm about hitting the road. “I’m getting sick every other day,” she said. “That’s the one downside. I keep my dressing room warm, and then of course when we go out to the stage area, it’s freezing cold, and then when we do the afterparty, it’s cold. And then flying and stuff like that. That’s the only downside about touring. It’s just to keep your physical health in order. I was just recuperating from being sick last night and then we flew out here; the plane was freezing, and I think I got sick again. That’s the only downside — that’s the only one.” Would you like to see Nicki on Britney’s tour? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Nicki Minaj Britney Spears
