Self-portrait shows a naked Brown in bathroom mirror. By Shawn Adler Chris Brown (file) Photo: Phillip Massey/FilmMagic A nude photo reportedly of Chris Brown has leaked online late Friday (March 4), which shows the 21-year-old “Run It” singer standing full-frontal in bathroom mirror. Taking the pic with his iPhone and adorned in nothing more than his tattoos and newly dyed blond hair , Brown appears with a look of concentration in the photo, which first appeared on WorldStarHipHop.com. According to the website, it was leaked by an ex-girlfriend of the notorious R&B superstar, who recently featuring Wiz Khalifa, from his upcoming LP F.A.M.E. Generally known to be vocal when scandal hits, Brown was relatively silent on Twitter after the photos appeared online, tweeting and then removing “WTF!!! Here we go!!!” on his verified account. “Another day!! Another lesson! Another party!!” he tweeted on Saturday afternoon . “I’m so thankful to have the support of my fans with my music! Love.” The incident is the latest in a series of photo scandals for Brown, who saw more pictures of a beaten-up and bruised Rihanna released in February. Brown pleaded guilty to a felony and accepted a plea deal of five years of probation on June 22, 2009 for domestic abuse against the “Umbrella” chanteuse. The photos, which showed Rihanna with her eyes swollen and with cuts lining the inside of her mouth, were viewed by Brown as retribution for violent acts he perpetrated against her. “It’s ironic how ‘somebody’ put this out right around my album time! Wow! I guess that’s supposed to be strategic chess move. Unbelievable,” he tweeted. “The Devil is always busy!! But when u have a destiny, nothing or no one can stop what God has planned!” Brown is hardly the first celebrity to have nude pictures appear online. Other stars caught with their pants down have included Ashley Green , Pete Wentz , and Rihanna , among others. F.A.M.E is slated for release March 22.

All agree that Stefano Langone deserved his second chance, but some think Kendra Chantelle was robbed. By Gil Kaufman “American Idol” contestant Brett Loewenstern Photo: FOX Hearts were broken, some dreams were dashed and others were realized while a trio of singers was saved from the pop-culture trash heap on Thursday night during the two-hour “American Idol” results show . We reached out to some of our favorite “Idol”izers to get their take on the action on the elimination extravaganza, and while they all had their complaints about who did and didn’t make the cut, the one thing they could all agree on was that Stefano Langone absolutely killed it when the chips were down. Entertainment Weekly critic Annie Barrett said that for the most part, the top 13 was dead-on. “Everyone who we knew in our hearts should be in the top 10 was voted in,” she said of such finalists as Casey Abrams, Lauren Alaina, Scotty McCreery, Jacob Lusk, James Durbin, Paul McDonald and Pia Toscano. “The one surprise was that Haley Reinhart was voted into the top 10 by America,” she said of the singer who did a competent but unimpressive take on “Fallin’ ” by Alicia Keys this week. “I don’t think she would have gotten a judges’ wild card.” Barrett was firmly behind the decision to give Langone a second chance and said he killed it during his take on Smokie Norful’s “I Need You Now,” which she said was full of feeling and emotion. As for the other wild-card winners, Barrett said Naima Adedapo did a nice job after choosing the wrong song on Wednesday night and proved she deserved to be on the show, but she wasn’t feeling Ashthon Jones. “I didn’t think she was good last night,” said Barrett of Jones’ just-OK attempt at the “Dreamgirls” number “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.” “I’m surprised, but not surprised they wanted her because of who she is and what she looks like,” said Barrett. “She has that diva attitude and she’s a good character, so it’s good casting.” MTV’s resident “Idol” expert, Jim Cantiello, for one, was pissed at America and the judges for not giving Bette Midler-esque Lauren Turner another chance. “I’m livid with the judges for not letting her sing for a wild-card spot,” said Cantiello of the sassy former housecleaner. “Other than that, I’m not mad at the results, a far cry from last season’s semi-final bloodbath. Brett [Loewenstern] and Rachel [Zevita] were fun distractions, Robbie [Rosen] and Kendra [Chantelle’s] attempts at nuance went over the collective head of the voters, and Tim [Halperin] and Julie [Zorrilla] were both contestants who wilted without instruments.” For Cantiello, and for everyone, really, the night’s highlight was wild card Langone’s game-changing “I Need You Now,” which he said blew him away. “By the end of the two hours, America (and the judges) had selected a diverse, solid top 13 that should have us all glued to our TVs for the rest of the season. We have belters, young countrified whippersnappers, two sassy divas (one male, one female), a sex kitten, an exotic flower, a hair-metal throwback, and however you’d categorize Paul McDonald and Casey Abrams.” TVLine.com “Idol” recapper Michael Slezak, was adamant about one thing: Chantelle was robbed, robbed, he tells you! “Call 911, that was a felony!” he said of Chantelle’s failure to earn a wild-card berth despite what he called her show-stopping performance of “Georgia on My Mind” during her second-chance slot on Thursday’s show. “There’s no way you can tell me [after that performance] that the judges didn’t have minds made up of who was going into the top 13. I think those six performances we saw were a bit of ‘Idol’ theater more than them making their decisions.” Slezak also had high praise for Langone’s slam-dunk effort, saying the judges had already declared how much they liked him on Tuesday, even if America didn’t seem ready to commit. He thought the top 13 was solid and has him excited in a way last season’s finalists didn’t, mostly because there are no clear front-runners amid a talented group of vocalists who all have different, interesting strengths. “Last year, Crystal, Lee and Big Mike had already emerged at this point as ones to watch,” he said. “But while some of this year’s contestants have gotten more airtime, there are seven or eight [contestants] with a legitimate chance to take home the top prize.” Among his picks to watch are Toscano , whose story we haven’t really heard yet and who clearly was saving something in the tank considering her wow-worthy final slot on . He also likes McDonald’s “young Bradley Cooper-meets Mumford & Sons” look and style, though he worries the smiling singer’s quirky nature could doom him to “Idol” also-ran status. “I’m hoping Stefano remembers that feeling every time he takes the stage,” Slezak said of Langone’s go-for-broke emotional performance in the wild-card round. “It would behoove the other contestants to play that every time they take the stage to remind them that it’s do-or-die each time.” Do you agree with our experts on the top 13?

‘Idol Party Live’ guest Liz Lee went to same high school as Clarkson and says ‘there’s a trophy case dedicated to her.’ By Kelley L. Carter Liz Lee Photo: MTV News So would Liz Lee, the star of MTV’s popular series “My Life as Liz” ever audition for “American Idol”? Not a chance. Lee was a guest on MTV News’ brand-new weekly interactive online series, “Idol Party Live,” which kicked off on Thursday night (March 3) after the live results telecast of “American Idol” . The reality-TV star, who joined our “Idol” expert/host Jim Cantiello and EW.com “Idol” writer Annie Barrett, said she’d be too terrified to try out. But Lee made an interesting revelation on the live stream. The Fort Worth, Texas, native hails from the same small town as season-one “Idol” winner Kelly Clarkson. “Kelly Clarkson went to my high school. I didn’t know her. I think my sister was friends with a friend who knew her. They’re all friends with someone who’s acquainted with her. There’s a whole trophy case dedicated to her,” Lee said. And who are Lee’s favorites so far this season? She’s leaning toward the quirky, nerdy types, she said, but has her eye on one contestant in particular: Casey Abrams . “I like the Seth Rogen-y, quirky, [guy],” she said. “Like, I would hang out with this guy. I would play video games with this guy. He’s like my friend Sully. He’s a Sully. It’s like a complete transformation. He’s cute, nerdy, quirky Seth Rogen, and then he turns into this Antonio Banderas, attractive, mysterious thing. It’s incredible — on a dime.” “Idol Party Live” airs every Thursday at 10 p.m. ET, immediately following the “American Idol” results show, and Cantiello and a special celeb guest will be on-hand to do a post-wrap on all things “Idol.” They’ve even promised some karaoke!

The ‘Idol’ judge’s sultry dance clip premiered during Thursday’s first results show. By Kelley L. Carter Jennifer Lopez in her “On The Floor” video Photo: MTV News With just about 10 minutes left on “American Idol” Thursday (March 3), Jennifer Lopez debuted her new music video, “On the Floor.” The clip was cued up right as suspense built up over who the judges would grant second-chance passes. The single marks the first time Lopez has hit the Billboard top 10 since her 2003 #1 track “All I Have.” The new song, featuring Pitbull, debuted at #9 on Billboard Hot 100. Dressed in a glittery, gold outfit, Lopez is seen in several long shots, dangling lazily on a couch. Between shots of the Miami rapper, the video returns to scenes of Lopez dressed in a sexy, skintight catsuit dancing in front of a gold cardio barre. “If you’re an animal, tear up the floor,” she sings, giving the camera her fiercest gaze and moving her shoulders aggressively. “Don’t stop, keep it moving/ Put your drinks up.” The video set looks like the kind of lounge-y nightclub that you’d find in one of the exotic locations that she shouts out in the song, one that only caters to a VIP clientele. In another scene, Lopez is wearing a bikini top when she makes her way to the center of a stage and breaks it down “fly-girl” style. In still another shot, the star’s mane is piled on top of her head, very elegantly as she sexily implores everyone to dance the night away and spend it on the floor.

‘It’s an honor to write for one of pop music’s biggest icons,’ she tells MTV News. By Kelley L. Carter, with additional reporting by Jocelyn Vena Britney Spears “Til The World Ends” cover art Photo: Jive Britney Spears’ new single, “Till the World Ends” is dance-floor ready — just ask Ke$ha. The pop star in her own right wrote the just-released track, which was produced by Dr. Luke and Max Martin. “I consider myself a songwriter before and above everything else, so it’s an honor to write for one of pop music’s biggest icons. And I hope it gets everyone’s ass on the dance floor cuz y’all know that’s what K-Monay does best!” the singer said in an exclusive statement to MTV News. The single was posted by Perez Hilton on Thursday afternoon (March 3), after speculation earlier in the day that it would hit radio next week. “Till the World Ends” is a swirling, “beat the beat” track, ready for late nights spent “dancing till the world ends” as she sings on the fast-paced party jam. “This kitten got your tongue tied in knots I see/ Spit it out ’cause I’m dying for company,” a confident Spears purrs. Later in the song, she sings: “See the sunlight/ We ain’t stopping/ Keep on dancing till the world ends/ If you feel it/ Let it happen/ Keep on dancing till the world ends.” Last month, Ke$ha talked with Spin.com about the song, saying it’s about the power of an artist performing a great gig. “That song is me imagining her and any female musician touring the world,” she said. “You know, when you go out, and you’re having an amazing, magical night and you don’t want to go to sleep and you want it to last until the world ends.” This new track is the latest single from Spears’ forthcoming Femme Fatale, which drops March 29.

Casey Abrams, Lauren Alaina, Scotty McCreery and more make up voter-approved top 10. By Gil Kaufman Stefano Langon performs on “American Idol” Photo: FOX After what’s felt like years (OK, just two months), “American Idol” finally got to its first live elimination show Thursday night (March 3), and it was not pretty. The biggest cut-down in show history came after host Ryan Seacrest said more than 40 million votes were cast over two performance nights. The good news was that favorites like Lauren Alaina, Casey Abrams, Thia Megia and Jacob Lusk made the cut, but that meant that a few beloved singers like Brett Loewenstern and Julie Zorrilla were eliminated as the show revealed its top 13 finalists. After copious time-killing segments, Ryan Seacrest finally got to the first elimination nearly 25 minutes into the two-hour episode, with country boy Scotty McCreery moseying into the top 10 while Robbie Rosen was sent packing. Next up were Clint Jun Gamboa, Jovany Barreto and Jordan Dorsey. After blowing it with Usher’s “OMG,” Dorsey got the hook, along with karaoke host and eyeglass aficionado Gamboa and Barreto. The girls were in the hot seat next, and it was hard to believe that Pia Toscano and Alaina were standing next to each other, since Toscano got a standing ovation and high praise from the judges, and Alaina has been a favorite for weeks. It was good news for 16-year-old Alaina and, of course, for Toscano as well, as Seacrest reveled in his favorite game of elimination psych-out. But when Ta-Tynisa Wilson and Julie Zorrilla came up, after a night when both blew their chances with subpar performances, it was no surprise that both missed out on the top 10. It was hard to know who might lose out when glamazon Kendra Chantelle, baby-diva Ashthon Jones and funky bilingual singer Karen Rodriguez took center stage, though. Shockingly Jones was sent packing, as was Chantelle, with Rodriguez filling out the third women’s slot. Young Luther Vandross-alike Lusk huddled up next to bearded wild man and budding sex symbol Abrams and cutie crooner Tim Halperin. Lusk sang hallelujah when he got the call, and to no one’s surprise, Abrams was next, as Halperin made the long walk. The hits kept on coming, as funky soul singer Naima Adedapo, 16-year-old wunderkind Megia and blues mama Lauren Turner all got the boot. With only two spots left, Adedapo and Turner got some bad news, as Megia became the second high-schooler to get a magic ticket. It was anyone’s guess who would be out when two of this season’s standouts, spunky ginger Loewenstern and flair-loving showman Paul McDonald stepped up to the spotlight. Alas, sensitive teen Loewenstern would have to hope for a wild-card spot, as McDonald got the call. Vying for the final spot on the girls’ bench were Haley Reinhart and resident quirk Rachel Zevita, who went over the cliff on Wednesday night with a mannered cover of Fiona Apple’s “Criminal.” Without much drama, Reinhart got the call, as multiple-auditioner Zevita washed out. The judges were digging Stefano Langone on Tuesday night, certainly more than James Durbin, who took a chance with a Judas Priest song and may have overplayed his rocker card. But only one of the roommates could snag the final men’s spot, so it was curtains for Langone and joy for Lambert-like rocker Durbin. With 14 singers vying for the wild card, the judges chose six to get another chance. Jones was up first, strutting to her spot to sing the song that made Jennifer Hudson a star, the “Dreamgirls” classic “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” giving it plenty of attitude, but coming off a bit shouty as she played to the rafters in an attempt to work her way back. Steven Tyler thought she brought it again, Jennifer Lopez felt the passion and Randy Jackson loved the attitude. Langone picked Smokie Norful’s emotional ballad “I Need You Now,” filling the tune with lots of passion and turning it into a tour de force that tugged heartstrings and seemed to punch his ticket. Randy loved that Stefano picked one of his favorites and Lopez said he nailed it when he needed to. Chantelle got the next shot with Hoagy Carmichael’s “Georgia on My Mind,” starting out low and breathy and then climbing into her high, sweet range and hitting a series of giant notes near the end that felt like her attempt to swing for the fences. Jackson wasn’t sure where it was going at first but said she totally pulled it off. Barreto dedicated Jon Secada’s “Angel” to the woman he once loved, figuring he’d try to curry some favor as well by singing a half Spanish/ half English tune. His vocals were strong and moving, but it was unclear if it was enough to get him back in the mix. All Lopez could say was “you did all you could do,” which didn’t sound promising. Tyler called Adedapo, which meant the definitive end of the line for Zorrilla, Turner and Wilson. At first Naima didn’t seem to have enough in the tank to take on soul icon Donny Hathaway’s “For all we Know,” but she gave it her all and put some smooth soul into the performance. Tyler felt she dug deep, but Naima’s tears signaled that she didn’t feel confident. The final shot went to Rosen, meaning Gamboa, Dorsey, Loewenstern and Halperin said bye-bye. Double-R chose Elton John’s “Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Hard,” reworking the song into a kind of flamenco torch song, which he sang while flashing his puppy-dog eyes and over-emoting by several measures. Jackson called it nice and tender, saying the decision was going to be a brutal one. After the break, the judges weren’t ready, so Seacrest cued up the glittery video for Lopez’s “On the Floor” to give them a chance to deliberate some more. With time running out, it was redemption time for Jones and Langone, as well as Adedapo, who helped fill out the top 13. The first live performance shows of the season kick off next Wednesday.

Clip premieres Thursday night (March 3) during ‘American Idol.’ By Jocelyn Vena Jennifer Lopez on the set of her video for “On The Floor” Photo: MTV News Jennifer Lopez plays a feisty club diva in her video for “On the Floor,” set to make its debut Thursday night (March 3) during “American Idol.” The song, a club banger produced by RedOne, is a melting pot of house music and global music, and the video is a dark, sexy look at club culture. “I play one character where she kind of runs this party, acts like she’s kind of bored with it, but at the same time is really loving it and loves this underground party dance culture,” Lopez told MTV News on the set. “So I got to be wild and crazy, and at the same time I got to be sexy and sweet too.” In the video, J.Lo wears a big beehive bun, gold gladiator heels and a gold gown with Gaga-esque detailing in its high collar and leaves. It also stars RedOne and Pitbull, who raps on the track. The other men who worked with J.Lo on the video, director Taj and choreographer Frank Gatson Jr., wanted it to reflect Lopez’s background as a dancer. “Originality, being you. This song is about being who you want,” Taj explained. “It’s about letting loose. There’s no explanation. This is this underground video, this underground party.” Gatson added that the video will give fans and wallflowers an inside peek at the best dance party in town. “I kind of get the feeling that she wants us to be in the club after 2 a.m. in L.A.,” he explained. “That’s so amazing. [It’s like] everybody had some watermelon and the watermelon made them high, it gave them a little buzz — but a good buzz, a real magical buzz, a dance buzz, a buzz that makes you feel like fried chicken, so she just wants everybody to have a good old time.” J.Lo hasn’t been shy about her love for the track. She said recording it was an homage to her days as a professional dancer. “The minute RedOne played it for me, I made him play it 20 times in a row, and I just sat there at the board and I kept listening to it and listening to it,” Lopez said . “Because I really feel like, emotionally, I connected to it, but also because of how much I love to dance and how much that’s always been such a big part of who I am since I started. Since I was a little girl, I just totally connected with the idea of getting out there.” Will you be tuning into “American Idol” to catch J.Lo’s new video? Tell us below.

OMG! I absolutely love this Blake Lively chick, she’s perfect. Here she is out the other night in what I can only assume is the dress she’s going to wear to our wedding at a Cuban two star all inclusive resort. I thought I wasn’t supposed to see it before the wedding? It better not be bad luck. I guess it doesn’t really matter, the whole thing is happening in my delusional mind anyway… Oprah Winfrey and that dog from Fraggle Rock are going to be there.
Experts weigh in on the top 12 women and their chances of making it through to the finals. By Gil Kaufman Pia Toscano Photo: Michael Becker / FOX Thursday night is when some “American Idol” dreams will come true, and a dozen or more will be crushed and sprinkled all across the seizure-inducing new IdolDome stage. But before all that carnage and celebration, we once again turned to some of our “Idol” experts to make some predictions about this season’s front-runners after the top 12 women did their thing on Wednesday night. Because he just can’t get enough of all things “Idol,” we turned to MTV News’ resident expert Jim Cantiello for his take on which ladies soared and which ones crashed and burned. Despite a few serious stinkers, JC said he continues to be shocked by the caliber of vocalists on the show this season. “You believe that these were the finest singers they found while on the road,” he said, noting two “atom-bomb-sized surprises” on Wednesday night. His first revelation was former housekeeper Lauren Turner, whose choice of Etta James’ “Seven Day Fool” he deemed perfect and full of attitude. “[She] stood out from the pack with her gravelly blues voice and in-your-face performance style,” he said. The other big surprise was show-closer Pia Toscano , the raven-haired beauty who sang the Pretenders’ “I’ll Stand by You,” which he said, “dug deep and showed off her pitch-perfect pipes. Her range was sick, she had confidence, she effortlessly hit some major power notes. America stood up and noticed, as did the judges, who gave her the first official standing ovation of season 10.” If he had to pick a stand-out front-runner, though, at this point, Cantiello is still going with 16-year-old sassafras Lauren Alaina. “[It’s her] race to lose,” he said. “She’s everything ‘Idol’ is looking for. [She] got up onstage and looked like she could have commanded a live audience 10 times bigger without flinching. She has stage presence, a powerful voice, and she has a unique ability to live somewhere in between R&B, pop and country.” And while he thought the Carrie Underwood/Kelly Clarkson comparisons from Randy Jackson were not off the mark, Cantiello wondered if Alaina’s need to always be the center of attention might start grating on voters’ nerves? As for the other 16-year-old, Jim said Thia Megia has great pitch and a large fanbase, but he just can’t “picture her at the Nokia, covered in confetti. Unless she steps up her personality.” A great measure of how polarizing “Idol” contestants can be is the list of hot prospects submitted by Top Idol blog founder Melinda Green. One of her favorite performances was from this year’s obligatory oddball, Rachel Zevita. Though the judges thought Zevita blew it with her jazzy, off key take on Fiona Apple’s “Criminal,” Green loved it. “I really hope we see more of her. Alas, I think the judges would prefer sending through Ashthon Jones,” Green said of the Nashville native with the giant, blow-out hairdo whose sultry cover of Monica’s “Love All Over Me” earned raves. Green wasn’t sipping the “Idol” juice, though. “Every performance I’ve seen of this girl has been the same tired R&B diva wannabe shtick we’re treated to every season,” she said. She also liked Naima Adedapo, but is looking for more personality from the Erykah Badu-like singer and clothing designer. Lamenting how many of Wednesday night’s singers opted for tunes we’ve heard a dozen times in past seasons, Green said Karen Rodriguez made it interesting by singing half of Mariah Carey’s “Hero” in Spanish, but wondered if it was a bit too obvious pandering to judge Jennifer Lopez. Green agreed with Cantiello that Alaina might start to strike some viewers as a “precocious coquette as taught by her stage mother” and said despite her “perfect tone,” Thia Megia may not have the emotional maturity to connect with the songs she’s singing. “With this year’s emphasis on youth and the show’s clear aim of getting a viable female winner, we’ll be forced to see more of both Thia and Lauren Alaina,” she lamented. Bottom line, Green agreed that Toscano can go far and just needs to show more personality and that Turner has the goods that could take her deep into the competition. “She’s got the kind of voice I love,” she said, agreeing with Randy Jackson’s description of Turner as a mix of Amy Winehouse and Florence Welch. “If ‘American Idol’ wants current, they best do everything they can to keep Lauren Turner around. She’s the real deal, no theatrics, just raw talent.” Do you agree with our experts? Who do you think is headed for elimination tonight? Let us know in the comments below!
