Producer Martin Solveig tells MTV News about recording ‘Give Me All Your Luvin,’ ‘I Don’t Give A’ and ‘B-Day Song’ with three fierce ladies. By Jocelyn Vena Madonna, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. Photo: Getty Images As if just having Madonna on her own album wasn’t enough, the Queen of Pop enlisted the help of two hip-hop princesses to up the girl-power quotient on MDNA . As she sat down with producer Martin Solveig to whip up tunes for her latest studio album, when it came time to bring more feistiness to the already-sassy album, she knew the only two artists who could perfectly compliment her were Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. (Maya Arulpragasam). Solveig explained to MTV News how the twosome came to appear alongside Madge on the album’s lead single, “Give Me All Your Luvin.” “I had this idea of just creating this sort of mini-gimmick that you could very easily use in the stadium or arena,” he said of the cheerleader-inspired chant in the song. “And so I thought of that, which was very basic. … That was the start. “In the first place, it was just the intro, and then it became a bit more of a gimmick, and she liked it, and so she thought, ‘We should have sidekicks to perform with me on the this.’ … She thought of very naturally Nicki and Maya to perform this because they are badass girls. “I was very surprised [it was the first single], and then it made it totally sense with her Super Bowl [performance] because, yes, it was definitely the Super Bowl song. And when we started, it was definitely not the case,” he explained. “We wanted to do something like this. It was a little surf-y. Then I guess when the Super Bowl was confirmed, they thought it would work for that, and I think it did.” Solveig broke down the recording sessions he and the ladies had for not only “Give Me,” but also the scathing “I Don’t Give A,” which features Nicki, and the funky “B-Day Song,” which has M.I.A. “We were the studio both one day with Nicki and two days with Maya,” he said. “They have both very strong personalities and very different. Nicki’s very pro. She’s like, once she arrives and she spends some time, she writes, seriously, her stuff and then she records very quickly, and she’s like bang . “And with Maya, she’s a bit more arty,” he said. “I didn’t see them together. I would have loved to witness this. Definitely, [Madonna] was definitely the perfect [middle].” The “I Don’t Give A” collaboration got a lot of press, thanks to its seemingly overt reference to Madonna’s life and her split from director Guy Ritchie. “A few days after I finalized the song, she finished the lyrics of ‘I Don’t Give A,’ and I could feel there was a lot of references to her life,” he said. “Nothing that I really know of, because you don’t know that kind of stuff, but then I saw it was very commented everywhere.” In the end, when it’s all said and done, Solveig noted that working with Madge was pretty awesome. “I got a call last year from [her manager] Guy Oseary, and he wanted to know if I was in town working, and that was the phone call of a lifetime when you’re a producer, when you heard all the legend and all the story. So I took the next plane and went to meet with Madonna, and I quickly got to work. “In the first place, it’s very confus[ing] because everything that’s all together, you have a very kind person in front of you, [and] you’re like, ‘Can you imagine who you’re talking to?’ and she’s very natural,” he continued. “She’s very easy-going, so you tend to forget it. But, of course, the first time, it’s crazy.”

[ Flash 10 is required to watch video.] My name is Lexi and I’m 18 and MBE all started Monday January 30th when I found out Justin Bieber was coming to Miami to record his new album! I thought I knew where he was recording so I told my friend Taylor and she decided to go check it out! A little bit after she got there, she texted me and told me he was going to be there tonight! But I had class that night. Luckily I ended up taking a test before class and it let me drop the class completely! After I raced home and begged my sister’s boyfriend to let me use his car, he finally said yes! I speeded all the way until I got there! When I met up with my friend Taylor, there was around 15 other girls there, and then suddenly a car pulled up and it was Justin! I was beyond excited! Everyone ran to the gate. He came and said he really didn’t have a lot of time but he would take a group picture! Of course I was okay with that. I ended up being no where near him in the picture. But I left right after the picture at like 11:30. At around 12, Alexis and Danielle showed up and just waited outside until Justin ended up coming out and because they were the only 2 girls that were there, he came over and took pictures with them. The next night Wednesday February 1st. There was about 30 girls there. We all went back that night and this is when I met Alexis, and Danielle. We started talking and they told me the best way to get a single picture with him is to wait until hardly no one was here. We ended up going to Walmart together to get lawn chairs and other stuff we needed. We all sat and talked together the whole night. Justin would come out randomly to walk to the other studio or skateboard for a little, but he couldn’t really stop and take pictures and sign stuff for us. Paparazzi was there and Justin didn’t wanna skateboard with them around. Alfredo would come out with him too, so we would talk to him for a little. At around 4:30am Amanda had to leave, but me Alexis and Danielle stayed. And at around 5am there was about 7 of us left and Justin and Alfredo came out. Justin was skateboarding and we all just watched and would randomly ask questions and he would answer and talk to us, it was really fun! The sprinklers in the bushes turned out right by the gate we were at watching Justin at but we all just stood there getting soaked so we could still see him. Then he decided to come and take pictures with us and sign some stuff! He was so nice! He stood there and talked to Danielle, Alexis and I. We all ended up leaving around 6am. I got home around 7am, slept for 3 hours, got up and went to work, and after work showered and got ready, picked up my sister Jamie and headed back to the studio. That night was Thursday February 2nd. Someone from Timbaland’s crew accidentally tweeted the name of the studio, so that next there was about 200+ girls, the news was there and it was a whole big scene! When Justin got there, it got crazy. He ended up leaving early. Basically everyone left. Danielle, Alexis, Amanda, Amanda’s mom Dania, and her friend’s kids were still there. Out of no where, Lil Wayne comes out! He ended up coming over and talking to us and was really nice! Wayne let Max come inside the studio and skateboard with him! He was so happy and then Lil Wayne even came out of the gate and took pictures with us. He ended up hitting on Amanda’s mom Dania. He had us give our phone numbers to his assistant, and he told us for you girls only I’ll do something special, for you and Justin! We were all like okay cool thanks! When me and my sister both got in the car, we had like a mental breakdown! The next day, Friday February 3rd was the day I’ve been waiting forever for! Again there was probably around 200+ people there and Justin got there and he ran out of his car and straight to the skateboard and started skateboarding in front of all his fans! I have no idea what made him decide to do this, but he took off his shirt! It was amazing . After he skateboarded for like 10-15 minutes, they were like, “Okay Justin we have to go record,” so he went inside, and that’s when so most people left. While we waited, Alfredo and Scooter came outside and it was fun! Scooter talked to us a lot and told us stories about Justin. At around 3am, Scooter left and we sat outside waiting. At around 4am Lil Wayne got to the studio! We were all like, “It’s Dania’s daughter!” He came to gate around 5am and told us he would let us in. He took us into the studio and told us to just sit here and he will be in a minute. A minute later, Justin finally walks in! He comes and shakes all of our hands and said,”Hi. I’m Justin.” After that we took pictures, we talked about his 18th birthday, where he wants to live etc. And luckily we got to hear a beat to one of his songs in the background. After about 15 minutes, he said, “It was really nice to meet you guys but I have to go back to recording,” so we said our goodbyes, and went outside. When we were outside, we meet Mike Posner who was helping Justin with his album. Then some of us took pictures with Justin’s skateboard then we left! It was one of the most amazing weeks and to me the greatest MBE. It was definitely worth missing shifts and getting on trouble at work. And the exhaustion. I wouldn’t change a single thing about that week! – @LexiRobless @guesshoo_ @alexischewy @mandslopez @alexaliceaa Go here to read the rest: My name is Lexi and I’m 18 and MBE all started Monday January…

Dear Bossip , I’m a 27-year old female who just had a baby 2 months ago with a man who lives in another state. Here is some back story on my relationship with my child’s father. We met when I was 15 and he was 19 through mutual friends. He was visiting in the town I live in. We started out cool, just talking late nights on the phone and things like that. We never seen each during this time, just talking on the phone all the time. At the time I knew he had two kids with his first baby moms who I’ll call ‘Nicole.’ Well, fast forward 10 years and I’ve gone to college and been in other relationships and slept with other people, but I always kept in contact with him even when he got looked up twice. However, I was falling more and more for him throughout these last 10 years. Well, finally after 10 years of not physically seeing each other and only having phone sex, I decided that I wanted to go see him in his home town. So, I go and see him and everything was cool. So, him and I do visit each other every few weeks for about 2 months. Well, one day I get a phone call from a woman (who I’ll call ‘Jessica’) who identifies herself as his wife. As you can imagine this news is shocking and devastating to me. Well, Jessica proceeds to tell me that they have been married for 2 years and that they have 3 children together with one on the way. She also tells me that he has 7 kids with ‘Nicole,’ and that she also has another kid on the way at the same time. Needless to say, him and I got into a huge argument and I told him I never wanted to talk to him again. Even though he hurt me to my core I still really loved and wanted him. Fast forward again to about 6 months later and he calls me and tells me how sorry he was for lying to me, and about how he wants to make us work, and that he and ‘Jessica’ were divorcing. After about a month of us talking again he came to live with me in my hometown, and he was going back and fourth because he was having health issues. He had doctor’s appointments and needed to check on his other kids. During this time things were going well, and about 2 months of him living with me I became pregnant. Well, when I was about 2 months pregnant ‘Jessica’ and ‘Nicole’ showed up at my doorstep with ‘Nicole’ being about 7 ½ months pregnant at the time. I was livid that these two bitches had the nerve to show up at my doorstep. But anyways, I maintained my composure and let them in. ‘Nicole’ informed me that she was carrying his 8th child! Which he also confirmed. ‘Jessica’ informed me that there was no impending divorce, and that she had no plans to divorce him at all. After both women sat in my house and continued to tell me all the lies he was telling including lying about his age for the last 11 years (he is actually a year younger than what he originally told me), ‘Jessica’ then informed me that she was here to take her husband back home. Then, ‘Jessica’ then proceeded to have a crying-fest and then basically reconcile in my living room! So, he packed his things and leaves with the two of them, leaving me heartbroken, pregnant, and alone. I spent the remainder of my pregnancy alone and angry that he wasn’t there. He did call me several times a week to check on me and the baby’s progress. He was always telling me that he still loves and cares about me. Well, fast forward again to 2 months ago and I have the baby without him being there for the delivery (he was unable to make it because of the holidays). Since the baby was born he has been calling me and texting me daily telling me he loves me and wants to be with me, even telling me that him and ‘Jessica’ are divorcing (for real this time), and that he was only with her for her money because he doesn’t have a job. He even came and seen the baby for the first time a few weeks ago, and when he was here he told me that he wants to move back with me and raise our child together. Mr. Dean, I really love and care about him and I want to make our relationship work for the sake of our child, but I don’t want to get hurt again, but at the same time I don’t want my child to grow up fatherless. Please advise me because I am completely confused. Thank you for your time and sorry about this being so long but there was a lot to say. – Just Really Confused Dear Ms. Just Really Confused , Sigh! Deep sigh! Really deep sigh! I can’t! I shan’t! I won’t! Are you sure that you and he are not related? Perhaps cousins, or half-brother and sister? Maybe long lost brother and sister? What the hell kind of foolishness did I just subject myself to reading? Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl! WOW! Three, on the loose, donkey ass women running round the streets knowingly mating with one donkey ass man. Unprotected. WOW! (Lifts the matted bangs of your purple weave and knocks on your forehead) What’s that hollow noise echoing in the background? I’m calling my congressman today and demanding that my tax dollars do not fund or go toward the welfare administration’s support of –ish like this mofo nonsense!!! I know none of you have a job, or are even looking for work. Y’all just sitting in the Rosa Parks and Grant Housing Projects waiting on Ray-Ray and ‘em to come over and chill with y’all while you hope you can go to the grocery store with your EBT card and get some eggs, bacon, and formula. SMDH! Anyway, that dirty community d**k you all are sharing, well, uhm, “Keisha” (I’ll call you that for the sake of this letter), he is not, has not, and will never divorce his wife. Haven’t you learned anything since his wife already told you that they were not getting a divorce? Haven’t you learned anything when you discovered all his lies, and conniving and manipulative ways? Wait, hold up. Of course you didn’t learn anything, the highest level of education it appears you’ve completed is the fourth grade. Someone please tell me what three grown ass women knowingly sleep with one man, and continue to lay up with him even after knowing about one another? What grown ass woman knowingly has 8 kids by a man who is married, lives with his wife, and has another girlfriend on the side? I’ll tell you what type of grown ass woman who does that: YOU THREE RETARDED ASS BIRDS I’ve done a rush and special admission for you and the other two women for the ACADEMY OF SPECIAL NEEDS AND SLOW ASS WOMEN WHO SUFFER FROM D **KDOME AND STUPIDITY. I’ve taken the liberty and enrolled you all in three courses: Dumb Women Do Dumb Things: When The Brain Suffers From Too Much Exposure of D**k Juice on the Head Birds Of A Feather Flock Together: How To Get Out of the Nesting Brood You Is Smart, You Is Kind, You Is Important: Get You Some and Get Your Life You, the other women, and that man is just sad all over. You really expect and think you are going to have any type of relationship with this buzzard? Ma’am, he is not faithful to his wife! He is mating (because I’m certain two donkey’s having sex is not making love) with another woman who has 8 children by him. And, you know this, and yet you still sit up and say that you love him? What do you love? You only had a relationship with him via the phone for 10 years, and you never saw one another (Donkey, donkey, bird, bird). Then you start this long distance relationship with him, but 2 months into it his wife calls you and tells you everything, and, yet you continue to see him? But, hold up, it gets better, 6 months later he calls and apologizes, you listen, and then you move him into your home? What type of woman are you? Let me ask you this: Is this man financially, mentally, and emotionally taking care of his 8 children with his other girlfriend? Is he financially, mentally, and emotionally taking care of his 4 children with his wife? Let me answer this for you: HELL NO! You even stated in your letter that he doesn’t have a job. If he can’t provide for his 12 other children, then how do you expect him to take care of your child? If he is irresponsible, immature, and spiritually deplete from his own life, then how do you expect him to be responsible, mature, and spiritually empowering for you? But, this is not difficult to figure out because you yourself are irresponsible, immature, and spiritually deplete. Let me repeat this for you: Your married boyfriend has 8 children with his mistress/girlfriend, and she will probably have more with him. Is this the type of man you want to have in your life as a role model for your child? There must be something seriously wrong with you when you knowingly involve yourself with a married man with 4 kids, and he’s openly having an affair with another woman who has 8 children with him. And, both of these women show up at your house, unannounced, and they detail everything about their relationship with him to you, yet, this man leaves with them, and you’re sitting over there talking about how much you love him, and want to be a family with him. Chile, d**k is a dangerous drug, and you’re sucking and smoking lots of it. Look, I know that whatever I say to you that you are not going to heed, follow, or listen to my advice. You are stuck on stupid and his d**k. Chile, that’s a deadly combination. A bird stuck on stupid and d**k. LMBAO! Therefore, let me say and do this, (drops bird seed on the floor and leaves a trail. Please follow), that man is not in love with you. He is not even in love with himself. No man who sleeps with three different women, impregnates them, and allows himself to go from each of their homes with no job and relies on the women to care for him remotely loves anything about himself. If he doesn’t love himself, then please know that it is impossible for him to love you. You three women are just dumping grounds, and trash receptors for his semen (i.e., nut collectors), and you have no regards for your own health, safety, or self. When you don’t cherish or respect your own body, the temple of your spirit, then you will allow anyone to do harm and destroy your body, the temple of your spirit. And, if the body, the temple of your spirit, is destroyed, then your spirit dies, along with your body. It’s important that you know how special you are and that you do not have to subject yourself to this man, and his trifling, no-good, hopeless and broke ass. You and your child deserve more, and better. It’s going to take you walking away from him, getting yourself together, and taking care of your child without him. He is not a father, a man, or a worthy companion. YOU CAN DO BAD ALL BY YOUR DAMN SELF! Find some spiritual and powerful sisters to surround yourself with. Utilize the time that you put into chasing him and go to school and better yourself. Stop repeating the cycle and behaviors that perpetuate ghetto hood basic bish stupidity. THE MAN IS LYING TO YOU, HAS LIED TO YOU, AND WILL CONTINUE TO LIE TO YOU. He is no good for you, and has never been. Love yourself, and your daughter enough to walk away, and be and do something with your life. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

For Mother Monster’s big day, here’s an A-to-Z guide for all things Gaga. By Vaughn Trudeau Schoonmaker Lady Gaga performs at the EMAs Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage Lady Gaga turned 26 years young on Wednesday (March 28), and to help celebrate, MTV News drew up a handy A-to-Z guide touching on some of the most exciting things to come from Mother Monster. Read on and share your birthday wishes for the pop princess! A: April 27. On that day, Gaga will launch what’s sure to be one of the year’s most spectacular spectacles at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul, Korea, which brings us to … B: … Born This Way Ball ! We were there when Gaga announced the name of the tour in Atlantic City, New Jersey, last year, and it has been hinted that we can expect an “electro pop opera.” She had us at “opera.” C: Castle. Mother Monster tweeted an image of the stage design for the tour, and the elaborate gothic castle has us excited. D: “Dark.” Gaga’s former creative director, Laurieann Gibson, opened up just last week about why she parted ways with the pop star, telling “ET Canada” that Gaga’s ideas “got a little dark for me creatively.” E: Elton John . The godmother to John’s adopted son, Gaga has teased a duet with the “Rocket Man” singer for her next album. F: Fernando Garibay . The musical director behind Born This Way told MTV News that the new album already has a title and concept. G: Gothic. Veils, brooches and lots of black: Gaga has adopted a gothic theme for her tour, but also in her fashion choices. H: “Heavy Metal Lover.” This jam has been begging for radio play; at the very least, the BTW cut should make it to the tour set list. I: Inez & Vinoodh. The Dutch photography duo were heavily involved in the spectacle surrounding Gaga’s “Yo
Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Lil Jon, Benny Benassi join Guetta onstage on Miami fest’s final day. By Akshay Bhansali David Guetta and Afrojack at Ultra Music Fest Photo: Getty Images MIAMI — Trance and electro house music reigned supreme at the final day of Ultra Music Festival, closing out the annual three-day dance music mega-fest that saw more than 200,000 people walk through the gates at Miami’s Bayfront Park. Sunday, Carl Cox handed over the Cocoon’s “mega-structure” stage to Dutch trance-music icon Armin van Buuren , who continued his globe-spanning celebration of the 550th episode of his “A State of Trance” radio show, streaming epic, dazzling sets of some of his larger-than-life trance-music friends. Gareth Emery, ATB, Ferry Corsten, Tritonal, and Sander van Doorn were but some of the big stars who had fans packing Cocoon right up to the stage’s back gates. Earlier in the day, 2012 MTV Woodies closing act Steve Aoki set the Ultra Main Stage ablaze with his driving electro-metal house show, and a few of his recent Wonderland album collaborators helped him celebrate the occasion. Lil Jon launched the set into overdrive early, joining Aoki for “Turbulence” and more, and singers Polina, and Alyssa Palmer all hit the stage to perform alongside Aoki. Before ending his set with an inflatable boat ride across a sea of tens of thousands of fans, as he traditionally does, Aoki caked two lucky fans in the front row of the audience — with dexterity, we’d like to add, right in the face from more than seemingly 15 feet away. Sunday night marked the UMF return of dance-music king , certainly the biggest crossover brand in EDM. While one might assume that after a throttling set by Knife Party followed by excellent performances by Kaskade and Fedde Le Grand, fans might have been a bit fatigued by then. If they were, they didn’t show it. “Can I hear my party people?” Guetta asked as he took the stage. The audience roared back as he launched into Alesso’s remix of Guetta’s “Titanium.” Notably, after the French superstar began a mix of little broski Afrojack’s “Can’t Stop Me Now,” Afrojack, Lil Jon, Aoki and Italian DJ/producer (and Madonna MDNA collaborator) Benny Benassi all joined their friend onstage, causing pandemonium. They posed for a group photo for the history books, and the set continued, only with the volume lower. “Every time I play a track at Ultra, it brings me luck!” Guetta told the audience. “And I’m going to start a new electronic label, and this is the first track on the label. “It’s with Nicky Romero , and it’s called ‘Metropolis,’ ” Guetta continued, before pumping the volume back up and letting the audience take in the electro-house banger that both he and Romero have been previewing in their sets recently. Throughout his set, Guetta maintained a bouncing tide of tens of thousands of screaming fans with his typical ease. There were a couple of new stadium house tracks in addition to known crowd-pleasers like Swedish House Mafia’s “Greyhound,” with the addition of Example’s “Changed the Way You Kissed Me” vocal, and Avicii’s “Le7els,” with Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” vocal. Before ending his set with a remix of “Turn Me On,” his single with Nicki Minaj , and finally “Without You,” his Usher hit, Guetta turned down the volume again and asked folks to take out their cell phones. As a sea of small lit-up screens formed around the UMF Main Stage, he made a remark that would underscore just how big the Ultra Music Festival and electronic dance music are in 2012. “Wow! Thousands and thousands and thousands of people partying together feeling like one,” Guetta remarked. “Do you realize what’s going on in America? How our music is taking over? “I never imagined that one day this would happen,” he added. “But this is only the beginning, right?” Share your Miami Music Week exploits with us in the comments section! Miami Music Week is a wrap, but stick with MTV News as we continue to roll out the latest EDM news and behind-the scenes interviews with your favorite dance music stars! Related Artists David Guetta

Many questions were answered, but which ‘Mad Men’ mysteries remain unresolved following Sunday night’s season opener? By Josh Wigler Aaron Stanton, Larisa Oleynik, Vincent Kartheiser and Alison Brie in the “Mad Men” season five premiere Photo: Michael Yarish/AMC The “Mad Men” season five premiere has come and gone, leaving us with several burning questions answered and one heck of a catchy tune to hum all week long. But not every question was answered — two seasons later and we still don’t know the whereabouts of Sal Romano, for one, not to mention all of the confounding baby drama circulating throughout the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce offices. Those are just some of the “Mad Men” mysteries still lingering after the season five premiere. Here are 10 more. 10. You do know Dick : So, Megan is in on Don’s big secret — some of it, at least. We know she knows his real name is Dick Whitman, and clearly she knows he has some deep-seated insecurity issues. Beyond that, what else does she know? Did Don tell her he witnessed the real Draper’s explosive death firsthand? Did he tell her about switching the dog tags while Real Don’s corpse was still warm? We’re definitely curious to know more. 9. Pete’s secret : Megan isn’t the only one in the know on Drapergate. Don’s former-rival-turned-reluctant-ally Pete Campbell is also in on the secret, having known Draper’s true identity for a few seasons now. Pete’s always been ambitious, but as we saw in the season premiere, his ambitions are at an all-time high. When will the time come when Pete uses Don’s real identity to his own advantage? Will that particular cat come out of the bag this season? 8. Pete’s other secret : The other bagged cat that eventually has to come out? Pete fathered a child with Peggy Olson. Trudy still doesn’t know about Pete’s somewhere-out-there illegitimate son, but that’s a secret that can’t possibly be contained forever. Five seasons is a long time to go without bringing that particular pot to a boil. Smart money says that Pete’s big daddy secret comes out before the year’s end. 7. When Joanie met Roger : In other baby drama news, Joan Holloway is the proud mama of Roger Sterling’s baby boy, though that too is a secret; by all other accounts, Joan’s infant son belongs to her military-serving husband Greg. But when that bundle of joy turns into a silver-haired, chain-smoking, womanizing toddler a season or two from now, people are going to put two and two together pretty quickly. Expect this one to be a major plot point throughout season five. 6. Wherefore art thou, Betty? : We understand that January Jones’ emotionally disturbed housewife has been downplayed in recent seasons, what with her divorce from Don, but sitting out of the opening two-hour episode entirely? That was a bit of a shock. What’s up with Betty Francis these days? How are things with her not-so-perfect new husband? Thankfully, this seems like one mystery that’ll get resolved before too long. 5. Wherefore art thou, Delores? : Ah, good old Lane Pryce. You can always count on that fine gentleman to wear his heart on his sleeve. This time, the detail-oriented Lane has set his sights on Delores, a woman he’s only spoken with on the phone and seen in an old photograph. Though that storyline seemed quickly and neatly wrapped up before episode’s end, that far-off look in Lane’s eye is a dead giveaway: He hasn’t given up on meeting this one, not by a long shot. The question isn’t when will they meet, but how super-awkward will their meeting be? 4. New hires : Looking at the business goings-on at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, it appears that a new employee will be hired before much longer, based on the premiere’s end. But in the racially tense 1960s, will the chauvinists and bigots of SCDP be accepting of an African-American co-worker? And what will the new hire, whoever he or she (probably she) may be, bring to the table as a character? We’re certain looking forward to meeting the latest “Mad Men” castmember when (or if) he/she finally shows up. 3. The musical fruit : We’ve already seen Peggy’s attempts at crafting creative, innovative ideas for her clients. But Heinz didn’t bite on Peggy’s elegant bean ballet, eye-fetching as it was. Will we see the better (or worse) idea that Heinz falls in love with, or will Peggy et al lose the client? And if they lose the client, well, it leaves only one question to ask … 2. When will the ship sink? : Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce barely stayed afloat during season four of “Mad Men.” Business has not improved much since then. Depending on how long the bad luck continues, can SCDP really stay open for business? Will Don and the guys have to cut back on their heavy drinking and over-the-top lifestyles to save the company? (God forbid they give their livers and lungs a break for one episode!) If the proverbial ship hits the iceberg, where will Don and the others go? A “Mad Men” without Sterling Cooper in some way, shape or form is a very different “Mad Men” indeed — but perhaps it’s a “Mad Men” we’ll see before season’s end. 1. Zooby zooby zoo : Finally, perhaps the most important lingering mystery of them all: When are we going to hear “Zou Bisou Bisou” again? Because I’m pretty ready for that to be a regular fixture in every “Mad Men” episode from here until eternity. What did you think of the “Mad Men” season premiere?

You knew The Hunger Games would open big , but this big? Meet your new bona fide box office powerhouse franchise: Taking in $19.75 million at midnight showings around the country, Lionsgate’s PG-13 action-romance earned the #1 all-time non-sequel midnight debut, outperforming even The Dark Knight ‘s 2008 $18 million midnight. We’ve got another true blue four-quadrant blockbuster on our hands, people! If you’re sitting bleary-eyed at your desk right now with a happy smile on your face from last night’s late night debut, share your reactions after the jump. Here’s my happy Hunger Games midnight madness story: I arrived for the 12:15 am showing at the Arclight in Hollywood to a scene of PURE. CHAOS. By which I mean the garage was packed, the lobby resembled a refugee camp, and the bar was swarming with bodies jockeying for a drink like it was the Cornucopia. A man, bellied up to the bar, screamed into his phone to some unfortunate person on the other end, ” I’ve been up for 36 hours and I’m not fit to come back to the hospital and I’m going to the cinema, dammit! ” Which is how I knew The Hunger Games would hit all five quadrants, the fifth being drunken 40-year-old male doctors on their one night off. I mean, behold: The film played exceedingly well in my theater, and the entire place was buzzing once the credits rolled. But the real bloodbath? Getting out of the parking garage. Did you see The Hunger Games at midnight? Are you planning on seeing it this weekend? Leave your thoughts and box office prognostications below. [ Deadline ]
