Russell Brand absolutely shut it down during his stand-up show in Atlantic City, N.J., just annihilating a heckler who had been taunting him about Katy Perry. The heckler had been yelling Perry-related comments at the Borgata on Saturday, most of which went ignored by Russell, who split with Katy last winter. But it was his yelling “God save the queen!” during a bit about the British royal family that sent the zany comic into full-scale verbal attack mode: Russell Brand vs. Katy Perry Heckler “What, mate?” Russell tentatively began. “I want to see what this person looks like, turn the lights on for me because I really want to achieve some sort of confirmation. Let’s have a look… Come here, let’s see you.” The audience was all too happy to direct Brand. “Let’s see how your mental illness looks in the daylight,” Russell said, ushering the man forward. “It’s you, is it? Oh, dear. I was hoping that your personality was just a result of physical beauty. But then I saw you.” “I thought, ‘This guy’s confident, probably, because he’s incredibly handsome,’ but look at you. You look like somebody who’s fallen off the outside of a church.” “And what is it that you have rattling around your mind, some bizarre combination of alcohol and idiocy… some cocktail of nothing. “And yet the confidence to continue shouting. They say of course, don’t they, that empty vessels make the most noise. What an enormous echo of nothingness from you.” “I know on some level, despite your physical appearance to an ape, that you’re a human being,” he continued. “I think silence is your friend.” “I think keep your lips firmly, firmly clamped together.” “Because everything that comes out of your mouth, from your idiotic announcements to your disgusting halitosis that’s coming through this room, is an abomination.” In a word … owned.
‘He’s really good and probably the best singer of the last three or four seasons,’ one ‘Idol’ expert tells MTV News. By Gil Kaufman Joshua Ledet performs on “American Idol” Photo: FOX Just about every season of “American Idol” seems to have at least one: a singer whose talent is so impressive and complete that their weekly performances come off as effortless. Whether it’s winners like Ruben Studdard, Fantasia or Carrie Underwood, or runners-up like Adam Lambert, Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson or Chris Daughtry, these finalists make it seem easy. If you believe Randy, Jennifer and Steven, we are seeing one of those rare moments right now in the form of Joshua Ledet . The old-soul singer has been crushing it without fail just about every week on the show, with just a few missteps along the way. “I’ve been doing this 11 years, and you’re one of the best singers ever on this show. Ever!” Jackson said following Ledet’s take on the Bee Gees’ “To Love Somebody.” “No matter what goes down, you’re one of the best singers ever on this show, and that is a big feat, that was incredible. Nobody could do that better.” Tyler offered similar praise earlier in the show after Ledet pulled off a near-flawless cover of the Temptations’ “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” telling Josh, “You’ve gotta be one of the top two best ‘Idols’ of all time.” Hell, Lopez, who is 42, called Ledet one of the “best singers I’ve seen in 50 years!” So, is Josh one of the best “Idol” singers of all time? Or just one of the best singer ever, period? We convened a panel of “Idol” experts and asked them to weigh in. “Idol” blogger MJ Santilli said it is undeniable that Josh is a gifted singer, but she begged to differ with Tyler’s claim that Ledet is one of the top “Idol” contenders. “Adam Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia, Ruben Studdard are, arguably, better singers,” she said. “When Joshua is excited, he has the tendency to push his vocals to the breaking point. He’s had missteps along the way — his ‘gospel’ rendition of Billy Joel’s ‘She’s Got A Way’ was a hot mess of over-singing.” And, at just 20 years old, Santilli said she doesn’t get the sense that Ledet has a complete handle on who he is as an artist. “In comparison to DeAndre Brackensick, who demonstrated knowledge of the greats that came before him, Joshua seems to have very little understanding of not only past masters, but current pop trends,” she said. Could it be that Josh’s repeated claims that he’s unfamiliar with the songs he’s crushing is a savvy rope-a-dope move? Maybe. But as far as Entertainment Weekly staff writer Kyle Anderson is concerned, Ledet is “technically very good,” but seems to be good at just one thing. “Even for a show that deals in hyperbole, that seems awfully hyperbolic,” he said of the sky-high judge’s comments on Wednesday night. “He’s really good and probably the best singer of the last three or four seasons, mostly because the past few have tended toward people with gimmicks nor niches, so it’s been a while since a pure voice has blown us away.” Former MTV News “Idol in 60 Seconds” host and “Idol” authority Jim Cantiello thinks the problem might be that while Ledet sings it very well, he excels at a style of music that just isn’t very “now.” “The only pop artist who has success dabbling in retro-ish R&B tunes is Bruno Mars (and, by extension, Cee Lo, which Mars had a hand in). Yet Bruno injects a modern spin to his retro leanings and has the charisma and personality to back it up,” Cantiello said of Ledet’s throwback Otis Redding style of gritty R&B belting. “Joshua has only shown strength going REAL old school and typically has the presence of a sedated patient.” Despite the over-the-top raves from Interscope boss Jimmy Iovine and bestie “Little” Steven Van Zandt, Cantiello wondered whether the label had “a secret top-notch retro unit with the right songwriters and producers that could craft Joshua the perfect throwback album.” There is no doubt that Ledet crushed it when he sang “To Love Somebody” and, earlier in the season, “When a Man Loves a Woman,” but the issue, he said, is that nobody writes those kinds of songs anymore. “In order to have a big radio hit, Joshua and Interscope would literally have to bring an entire genre back to life, and I’m not sure the personality-challenged Ledet is the one to start that movement,” he lamented. Maybe the judges meant that Joshua is “one of the best young male soul singers to come out of the show, versus one of the best singers period,” Cantiello speculated, ticking off a list of others who were more versatile and have massive voices (Lambert, Kelly Clarkson, Melinda Doolittle, Fantasia).

Like He’s Just Not That Into You and What to Expect When You’re Expecting , Think Like a Man is a film adapted from a book that offers advice instead of a story — Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man , a bestselling dating guide for women from comedian and TV host Steve Harvey. If the work was actually as life-changing and popular when it was published as the movie suggests, I must have missed all the women fighting each other over copies in the aisles of stores (an actual scene). But despite its cloying genuflections to its source material, Think Like a Man is rowdy and funny and showcases an immensely likable ensemble cast it uses to delineate its war between the sexes. The film centers around a group of male friends who conveniently illustrate the personality types Harvey outlines in the book. There’s Zeke (Romany Malco), the player who’s able to sneak past the most bristly of defenses but has no interest in sneaking around, and Dominic (Michael Ealy), the dreamer, whose inability to actually move forward with his goals has driven everyone he’s dated nuts. Jeremy (Jerry Ferrara), the non-committer, has been in a nine-year relationship with a long-suffering girlfriend weary of living in an apartment that looks like a dorm room; Michael (Terrence J) is the momma’s boy who’s still letting his mother do his laundry. Bennett (Gary Owen) is happily married (and, as Jeremy points out, so white that he’s basically “clear”), while Cedric (Kevin Hart), the film’s narrator, describes himself as even more happily divorced and is forever frequenting strip clubs name things like The Sweaty Crack and The Ass Factory. Paired up against them are Mya (Meagan Good), Lauren (Taraji P. Henson), Kristen (Gabrielle Union) and Candace (Regina Hall), women who are looking for stable relationships and, in the case of Kristen, a ring. After seeing Harvey on Oprah, the women all end up buying his book and following his advice, to the dismay of the guys they’re seeing. There’s a lot of potential for this set-up to be a retrograde one about landing your man — Mya in particular decides to adhere to a The Rules -esque regimen of refusing to get into a car unless the door’s opened for her and saying no to sex for the first 90 days of a relationship. But the book gets used more as a means of exploring gender power balance than as a way to trick guys into heading down the aisle — the movie certainly firmly believes in commitment and stepping up and that it’s no hardship to make a few compromises in order to sustain a relationship. For the most part, it’s the guys in Think Like a Man who have to figure the above out, and it’s presented not like a surrender but as a dawning realization — the women in the film are shown to be outpacing the men in terms of ambition and emotional maturity, and are largely waiting for them to catch up. The exception also happens to be the most interesting pairing of the bunch — Lauren, a high-powered Fortune 500 COO who’s been unable to find someone who matches her in terms of success and salary, and Dominic, who’s good with grand gestures but is a broke catering waiter and would-be chef. Henson and Ealy have an irresistibly off-beat chemistry together, and it’s she who has to make the adjustment in learning to deal with dating someone she initially feels isn’t on her level. It’s tough to buy anyone as phenomenally good-looking as Ealy being a perpetual romantic failure, but Henson’s also cast interestingly against type, her giggly warmth going against the typical portrayals of tightly wound workaholics. It’s been a decade since Tim Story directed Barbershop , but his facility with shooting how friends hang out remains unchanged. Think Like a Man divides its time between its various romances and scenes of the characters discussing those love lives with their cohorts, either in a group for the guys, or with the close gal pals each of the women has been given. Some familiar but functional jokes are made about the gender divide — after Candace meets Michael at the book store (you can guess what title she’s there to pick up), her account of him to her bestie Lauren (“soulful” and “sensitive”) is intercut with Michael’s more, er, physical description of her to the boys. Think Like a Man ‘s set in a sleek, upscale version of Los Angeles, the racial makeup of its ensemble neither a thematic focus nor left uncommented on — it’s just another part of the goodnatured banter thrown around between the guys. Hart is made to carry a large part of the comedic burden, and while his motormouthed shtick is initially tiresome, he gets funnier and funnier as the film goes along, shining especially when he insists his friends play what turns out to be a selection of professional basketball players (including Ron Artest and Lisa Leslie) for the right to their court. Chris Brown is among the other celebrity cameos, and actually manages to be amusing as a shifty lothario who creeps out of Mya’s bed after a night together and keeps getting her name wrong when he runs into her on the street. And of course, there’s Harvey himself, appearing to deliver lectures on various TV screens. With characters this charming, his appearances feel more like intrusions, but it’s entertaining to see the various women try out his recommended lines on their men — “What are your long-term goals?” Follow Alison Willmore on Twitter .

I don’t know if I like listening to girls talking about their breasts….I kinda prefer sucking on their breasts….but I guess I can get into it if it is via text message or facebook chat and involves the girl saying things like “i’m trying to lick my nipple right now”…..when it is chubby Jennifer Love Hewitt who is less chubby finally….talking about her breasts it is just annoying…you know there is a reason she’s not married and can’t keep a man…and I am thinking her personality is a big part of it…cuz guys will fuck and marry anything…just ask my obese whore wife….either way, I’d K-Fed her….as long as she let me fuck her from behind while staring at the photoshopped titty pics they are making a big deal about on Kimmel….
‘Call Me Maybe’ singer covers everything from her first impression of Justin Bieber to whether she believes in love at first sight. By Christina Garibaldi Carly Rae Jepsen Photo: MTV News Carly Rae Jepsen ‘s life has certainly changed over the past few months. The onetime “Canadian Idol” contestant is riding high off the success of hit single “Call Me Maybe,” and she just beat out her boss, Justin Bieber , on the U.K. charts, taking the #1 spot . Of course, Jepsen credits Bieber with much of her success , and she also knows she wouldn’t be where she is without her fans. Jepsen recently took some time out of her busy schedule to stop by MTV News and answer some of your Twitter questions. She covered everything from her first impressions of Bieber to whether she believes in love at first sight. Read below to find out what Jepsen had to say! @AmericanBiebz: We all know what Justin thought of Carly at first, so we wanna know: What was Carly’s first impression of Justin? Carly Rae Jepsen : I thought he was charming. He’s extremely talented — and, I mean, obviously that’s pretty well-known — but in ways that I didn’t realize. I knew that he sang, I knew that he was sort of infectious in his personality, I knew that he danced, but I didn’t know how strong of a songwriter he was, and my first introduction to him was actually in his studio and he played me a couple songs he had written, and I was really impressed and I was so glad, because I really, really liked him. @majojimenz: Is Justin planning on taking Carly with him on tour? Jepsen : I don’t know! We’ll have to ask Justin, but at this point we have no real idea of when we are going to be touring. @EmmaJaneGander: Would you ever do a duet with Selena Gomez? Jepsen : Yeah, I think I’m open to collaborating with anybody. I have, like, a dream list of people that I want to collaborate with. John Mayer is on that list and Taylor Swift, actually. I think she’s an amazing songwriter. I would imagine that would be a cool combination. @JustinsEyebrow: Do you think you have a certain style of music, or are you up for anything? Jepsen : I definitely have a bit of boundaries of what I like and what would be suitable to who I am as an artist, but I don’t want to put too many limits on it at the same time. Right now, I’m really attracted to pop music, I love dance songs and artists like Robyn and La Roux. And then I come from a folky background, so I would say my music is kind of a combination of all those things, but that doesn’t mean I can’t experiment more, fall in love with something else down the line. @lovedbybieber: If Carly could change one thing in the world, what would it be? Jepsen : World hunger. @shortstufff21: If you could change anything about you what would it be and why? Jepsen : I would be taller than 5’2, have some legs on me. @carlyraeheart: Do you believe in love at first sight? Jepsen : I believe in a very strong feeling about somebody, very strong lust at first sight. I wouldn’t go as far as love, because I feel like love takes time. What would you ask Carly Rae Jepsen?

With the American Ido l top 10 taking the stage again tonight, and with this shaping up to be one of the more hotly-contested seasons to date, it’s time for the first THG Power Poll of the season. Who do you see as the favorite right now? 10. Deandre Brackensick : Would have been our choice to leave after last week’s debacle. He can hit the high notes… and that’s about it. 9. Heejun Han : Love the personality, don’t see anything on stage that makes him standout above the rest. It’s solid and nothing more or less. 8. Elise Testone : Might suffer some likability issues. Did you notice her NOT applauding for Erika last week? Or not hugging Skylar? Yes, we’re forced to nitpick when the talent is this even. We did love her version of ” Let’s Stay Together .” 7. Joshua Ledet : We expect plenty of disagreement here. It’s not a question of his voice, just of his theatrics. Ledet’s ” When a Man Loves a Woman ” may have been the single best of any contestant this season, but we can see his act growing old. 6. Skylar Laine : She has the energy and the attitude, that’s for sure. She also has the identity: a rocking country chick. She just lacks the range. 5. Erika Van Pelt : Loved her take on“Edge of Glory.” A smooth, consistent voice makes it hard to see this finalist faltering in the next few weeks. 4. Colton Dixon : Love the risks he takes – a song by White Lion ?!? – and love his confidence on stage. Most definitely stands out on a weekly basis. 3. Jessica Sanchez : Will go down in Idol history for her version of “ I Will Always Love You .” That should be enough to keep her around for awhile. But can she go outside the world of ballads? A less-than-impressive take on “Turn the Beat Around” causes us to wonder. 2. Hollie Cavanagh : Has she had an off week yet? Memorable auditions of “Reflection,” “All the Man That I Need,” and “The Power of Love” prove she has staying power. Could work on her versatility and stage presence. 1. Phillip Phillips : He’s a cute young white guy with a guitar. Until American Idol viewers prove they are capable of crowning someone else, he has to be the favorite. WHO IS YOUR AMERICAN IDOL FAVORITE?
‘They’re gonna snap Bon Iver’s neck, they would crush Metallica,’ Kyle Newacheck says of Sum. Voting in round two is already under way! By James Montgomery The Workaholics Photo: MTV News MTV’s Musical March Madness tournament has moved on to the second round, leaving plenty of heavily favored bands by the wayside, in a smoking pile, dreams shattered ( MMM is nothing if not dramatic ). And so, with voting in all round-two matchups currently under way — polls close Sunday at midnight ET — we figured now was a perfect time to gauge the temperature of the tourney with the guys from Comedy Central’s “Workaholics.” After all, they know a thing or two about smoking (we can’t vouch for their dreams, however). Vote for your favorite band, discuss and share on Facebook and Twitter in the MTV Musical March Madness interactive bracket! We caught up with stars Adam Devine , Blake Anderson, Anders Holm and Kyle Newacheck at their rather epic South by Southwest party, and perhaps it was due to the free-flowing beverages — or the cornholing — but, boy, were their predictions off base. In fact, of all the bands they picked, only three still remain in MMM. So while their dreams may not be shattered, their brackets definitely are. But still, you’ve got to give them credit for their enthusiasm … and their ability to throw a killer party. So here’s who the “Workaholics” have winning it all in Musical March Madness. “Maroon 5 for the win. Adam Levine, I’m going to fight you over our name. I’m Adam Devine, I get so many tweets every day like, ‘I love you on “The Voice,” ‘ ” Devine said. “Truthfully, [I’m going] Black Keys versus Jack White in the finals, Black Keys take the win. Sorry, Jack, go tanning or something, you’re freaking us all out.” “I’m going Bruce Springsteen versus Best Coast [in the finals], and Bruce just barely nudges her out,” Anderson added. “That’d be a great show. I’d see that show.” OK, so just in case you haven’t been paying attention, Maroon 5, the Black Keys and Bruce all lost in the first round. Best Coast are still kicking, of course, but right now, they’re locked in a tight battle with “American Idol” fave James Durbin, who shocked the world by knocking off #1 seed the Foo Fighters in round one. So, Bethany, it’s time to rally the troops — a spot in the Sweet 16 is at stake. And while Devine and Anderson may have swung and missed in their picks, the same can’t be said about Newachek, who’s repping hard for dark-horse candidates Sum 41, who rolled all the way to the Elite Eight last year, and appear poised for another deep run this year. Having already taken down #2 Bon Iver, they currently lead #7 Metallica by a slight margin. “I’m going Sum 41 all the way. They’re gonna snap Bon Iver’s neck, they would crush Metallica,” Newachek said. “Sum 41, keep it rocking.” “I used to look like that kid, the bass player,” Holm added. “You know [as a] thinner young man.” MTV’s 2012 Musical March Madness tournament has reached the second round. Voting runs until midnight ET on Sunday, March 25, and winners are determined by fan votes, so if your favorite act is still alive, it’ll be up to you to guide them to glory. You can rally the troops on Twitter using the hashtag #MMM or by downloading one of our custom badges — but get ready, it only gets more difficult from here on out.

On ‘Where Are You,’ B.o.B laments the effects of fame on his personality and relationships. By Rob Markman B.o.B’s Strange Clouds Photo: Atlantic Fame sure has a way of changing people, and on his new single, Bobby Ray and his alter ego B.o.B duke it out for four-and-a-half minutes. “Where Are You (B.o.B vs. Bobby Ray)” opens with a lush piano melody, which builds and gives way into spacey synth sounds, a doo-wop-inspired background melody and a pounding bass drum. With the beat in full swing, B.o.B wastes no time confronting his issues when he raps, “Whatever happened to Bobby Ray? He used to be here for us/ Then he got famous and left all his fans in the dust.” B.o.B continues to rhyme in third person, lamenting on the changes that fame brings. World tours and taxing studio sessions have clearly affected Bob’s relationship with his family and his fans, whom he now seems distant from. “I never thought you would sell out, you’re becoming so cocky/ I asked you for a picture after your show, you walked right by me,” he raps before referencing fan-favorite songs like “Cloud 9” and “Generation Lost.” The internal conflict that B.o.B presents is similar to the one that his Grand Hustle CEO T.I. rapped about on his 2003 cut “T.I. vs. T.I.P.” T.I.’s track, however, centers on the tumultuous street life he once lived before his rise as a rap star. Sonically, B.o.B’s selection, which will appear on his upcoming May 1 album, Strange Clouds, comes off as an endearing self-reflection. Ultimately it proves that the rap star can’t be too far gone if he realizes where he has gone wrong. The song release comes just a day after Bob’s label revealed the cover art for his Strange Clouds LP. The album art shows Bobby Ray in a chic peacoat holding his temples while standing under a hovering cloud. Then, to drum up even more excitement, Warner Music Group will be premiering the video for B.o.B’s “So Good” single Wednesday at 9 a.m. ET. What do you think of “Where Are You (B.o.B vs. Bobby Ray)”?

‘The Shane element was just not part of Rick’s continuing story,’ show runner Glen Mazzara tells MTV News about Jon Bernthal’s offing. By Josh Wigler, with reporting by Kara Warner Jon Bernthal as Shane Walsh in “The Walking Dead” Photo: Gene Page / AMC Warning: Major spoilers for the latest episode of “The Walking Dead” lurk ahead! The inevitable has finally happened: Shane Walsh is dead. Double-dead, in fact. In the latest episode of “The Walking Dead,” titled “Better Angels,” Jon Bernthal’s disgruntled ex-cop finally met his demise at the hands of old friend-turned-new foe Rick Grimes. After luring Rick out into a field in search of missing prisoner Randall — whom Shane had already killed — Shane turned his gun on Rick, ready to kill his former partner and inherit his “broken wife” and “weak boy” as his own family. Rick ultimately talked Shane down, but what looked to be a peace offering was a trick of its own: Grimes plunged a knife through Shane’s heart, killing him in seconds … … and seconds later, Shane was back on his feet, a bloodthirsty zombie looking to finish the job. Thankfully for Rick, his son Carl arrived in the nick of time, gun in hand, to put a bullet through the undead Shane’s brain. Shane’s death was always a foregone conclusion in the minds of fans. Rampant rumors of Bernthal’s “Walking Dead” exit aside, the character’s demise occurs in the sixth issue of Robert Kirkman’s comic book series, making his eventual death a virtual certainty from the time Bernthal’s casting was announced. But speaking with MTV News, “Walking Dead” show runner Glen Mazzara revealed that Shane’s death wasn’t always part of the plan. “At one point, we considered not killing Shane,” Mazzara told MTV News. “But what’s important about this season is, Rick has to step forward. He has to assume leadership of the group and he has to confront Shane.” With that in mind, there was only one way for the Rick/Shane confrontation to end. Though Shane is killed by young Carl in the comics, it was important to the “Walking Dead” writers that Rick be the one to pull the trigger — or bury the knife, as the case may be — on the show. “Rick has to be the one to kill Shane. He needs to take control of the group,” Mazzara said. “That’s a huge loss for him, personally, for the group, but that’s what’s important about that: that it’s at Rick’s hand. We had considered doing it with a gun, but the knife was as personal as possible.” Many onlookers agree that Bernthal’s work as Shane has been the highlight of “Walking Dead” season two, so losing the character and the actor — especially so soon after Jeffrey DeMunn’s departure — is certainly a blow for the show. But for the writers, season two has largely been about transforming Rick from reluctant leader to confident decision-maker. In Mazzara’s opinion, the successful metamorphosis was made possible by Shane’s death. “It’s about Rick’s leadership, and if you see Rick [currently], when he steps forward and he discusses things with the group, you know that that’s a very different Rick than the one that came in at the beginning of the season,” the show runner said. “That’s what this season was about. It was about Rick, and the Shane element was just not part of Rick’s continuing story. It was a problem that Rick had to deal with.” Will you miss Shane on “The Walking Dead,” or do you think he needed to die? Tell us in the comments section!
‘X Factor’ alum tells MTV News her Nick pilot will be ‘really Rachel.’ By Christina Garibaldi Rachel Crow Photo: MTV News Rachel Crow, the pint-size cutie who won over America on “The X Factor” and made a lasting impression with her heartbreaking elimination , may have come out of the singing competition a winner after all. Just last month, Crow not only landed a recording contract with Columbia Records, but also signed an overall talent deal with Nickelodeon to star in her own musical-comedy pilot. MTV News caught up with Crow on the set of the Nick series “Fred: The Show,” where she will be a series regular as the character Starr. “My head was exploding when I couldn’t tell anyone,” Crow said about her new projects. “I kept telling people, ‘Oh, stuff will be coming out soon,’ and then it kept getting pushed back, pushed back, and I was like, ‘People are gonna think I’m lying!’ But I’m so happy I can tell everyone about it now. I’m really excited.” Crow, who finished in fifth place on “X Factor,” has not yet started filming her own series but promises it will be a true representation of her personality. “I’ve been thinking about it. We’re kind of in the first stages of deciding what it’s gonna be now,” Crow said. “But it’ll be really fun, really Rachel. We’ll see how it goes. I’m still thinking about it, something really fun and something that kids can relate to.” In addition to staying true to herself, she’s also hoping to reach an audience that may not be too familiar with her: the boys. “I want to reach the boy audience, because I know that’s really hard to do,” Crow admitted. “Boys don’t usually watch a really girly show, but I want to make sure that it’s a family-oriented, very fun, edgy, wacky show.” And to get that edgy twist she is looking for, she already has some dream guest stars in mind. “I’ve always wanted to sing with Eminem . I know, it’s really weird. I really love him,” Crow said. “I would really love for [‘Fred: The Show’ star] Lucas [Cruikshank] to be on my show, a lot of the Nickelodeon stars. I’m still super excited, I can’t even believe what’s happening.” Are you excited for Rachel Crow’s Nickelodeon show? Let us know in the comments! Related Videos MTV News Extended Play: Rachel Crow
