Charlie Sheen Brings The Party To MTV Movie Awards

Unpredictable actor will introduce party-film montage and Wiz Khalifa’s performance at Sunday’s big show. By Kara Warner Charlie Sheen Photo: Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic This year’s lineup for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards keeps getting more and more exciting — and eclectic. The unpredictable-yet-entertaining Charlie Sheen has been added to the already star-studded list of presenters for Sunday’s highly anticipated awards show. As is fitting for his party-boy image, Sheen will introduce a fun-filled celebration of the greatest party movies of all time. The “Anger Management” star will also stick around to introduce performer Wiz Khalifa and his first-ever live performance of new single “Work Hard, Play Hard.” Sheen joins a slew of other previously announced celebrity presenters, including: “That’s My Boy” co-stars Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg, “Gossip Girl” star Leighton Meester and “Perks of Being a Wallflower” castmates Emma Watson, Logan Lerman and Ezra Miller, who will also introduce the trailer for their film. Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield, Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Mila Kunis and Mark Wahlberg will also be presenters. The annual offbeat awards fete will also feature performances from the Black Keys, Martin Solveig and Fun. Not only that, but “The Dark Knight Rises” writer/director Christopher Nolan and stars Christian Bale, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Gary Oldman will present new footage from their Batman finale. Comedian Russell Brand will serve as host for the show, which airs live Sunday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET/PT from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.

Mac Miller Knows He’s ‘Really Makin It’ Thanks To Krispy Kreme

Mac gives MTV News his take on ‘The Baddest,’ amateur rapper Krispy Kreme’s viral video that features a shout-out of sorts to the Pittsburgh MC. By Rob Markman Mac Miller Photo: MTV Internet sensations come and go, sometimes with no rhyme or reason. Though they may be elementary, rapper Krispy Kreme has rhymes; it’s the reasoning behind “The Baddest,” his viral video that has folks scratching their heads. The clip has amassed more than a million views on YouTube since the end of April. In it, Kreme raps in his basement, bragging of his street cred and sexual prowess, all while brandishing a fake pistol. His partner, Money Maker Mike, doesn’t say a word; instead he just stares into the camera, holding a pellet rifle, wearing a light blue Mac Miller T-shirt. When MTV News caught up with Mac Miller , we asked what he thought of the clip he makes a sort of cameo in. “I don’t know, but that sh– is hilarious though,” he said. “That’s my artist. Sike, I’m just playin’. “I don’t know if he’s serious or not, but the dude with the Mac Miller shirt on has the rifle from ‘A Christmas Story’ aimed at the camera all the time and that was tight,” Mac said hours before he performed at the Bamboozle Music Festival on May 18. Clearly a parody, a snot-nosed Kreme taunts, “I bet I got more money than Jay-Z/ Compared to me Jay-Z is lazy/ Plus Beyonc— thinks that I’m cute/ It’s OK, Beyonc—, I think you’re cute too.” Krispy’s second video , “Haters Wanna Be Me” features more of the same tomfoolery. “I been shot about 500 times and I’ve done about one million crimes,” he spits in a slow, amateur drawl. Once again Money Maker Mike appears in that same Mac Miller tee. “That type of sh– is cool to me because I’m like, ‘Man I’m really makin’ it when random big videos on YouTube, they’re wearing my clothes,” the Blue Slide Park MC said. “That’s hella promotion for my clothes.” What do you think of Kripsy Kreme’s “The Baddest” video? Let us know in the comments! Related Photos Bamboozle Festival Performances Related Artists Mac Miller

Channing Tatum And Rachel McAdams ‘Tough’ To Beat In Battle For Best Kiss

‘Breaking Dawn’ producer calls nominees Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson a shoo-in — except for one sultry couple. By Kara Warner Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams in “The Vow” Photo: Sony Pictures With just a few more days left to cast your votes for this Sunday’s 2012 MTV Movie Awards , the competition is heating up. And while there are hotly contested races in nearly every category , Best Kiss might be the one to watch this year. The front-runners are Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson , not only because they’re fan favorites but because they’ve taken home the award for three consecutive years. MTV News recently caught up with “Twilight” producer extraordinaire Wyck Godfrey, who assessed the competition and concluded that Stewart and Pattinson are likely to bag their fourth award — save for one heated smooch between Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum in “The Vow.” “That might be tough, Channing is having quite a year,” Godfrey said diplomatically, before explaining why the kiss in “Breaking Dawn – Part 1″ really is this year’s best. ” The Best Kiss is when it’s really about [a] prelude to sex,” Godfrey admitted with a smile. “Sometimes that takes it up a notch and that could be that what might get us over the hump. “I think the build-up for four [‘Twilight’] movies, and to watch these two finally have sex is such that when that happens in ‘Breaking Dawn,’ the audience is fully with it, wants to see every frame of footage,” the producer explained of that heated moment between Edward and Bella after their “I dos.” “I think that kiss is special because we know what it’s leading to.” Aside from this year’s nominated kiss, Godfrey said the previously nominated smooch between Bella and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) in “Eclipse” ranks among his favorites. “I think the fun one was in ‘Eclipse’ when Taylor and Kristen kiss for the first time in the movies, and I think that was something for fans and [the filmmakers] that was really enjoyable because Rob and Kristen were old hat by then.” Head over to MovieAwards.MTV.com to vote for your favorite flicks now!

Military Moms Breastfeeding in Uniform: National Pride or Over the Line?

National pride? Disgrace? Somewhere in the middle? A photo of two servicewomen breastfeeding their children while in uniform has gone viral and added a new layer to the ongoing debate over nursing in public. It’s probably safe to say the Time Magazine breastfeeding cover went over quite well with Mom2Mom, a breastfeeding support group for military mothers. In a series of tasteful professional photos showing beaming moms nursing kids, one jumps out for obvious reasons: the photo of two servicewomen below … “A lot of people are saying it’s a disgrace to the uniform. They’re comparing it to urinating and defecating [while in uniform],” says Crystal Scott, a military spouse living at Fairchild AFB outside Spokane, Wash., who started Mom2Mom in January. “It’s extremely upsetting. Defecating in public is illegal. Breastfeeding is not.” It was Scott’s idea to ask photographer Brynja Sigurdardottir to take the photos and create posters for National Breastfeeding Awareness Month in August. One of the moms photographed in uniform, Terran Echegoyen-McCabe, breastfeeds her 10-month-old twin girls on her lunch breaks during drill weekends. “I have breast-fed in our lobby, in my car, in the park … and I pump, usually in the locker room,” says the proud member of the Air National Guard.” “I’m proud to be wearing a uniform while breastfeeding. I hope [the photo] encourages other women to know they can, whether they’re active duty, guard or civilian.” She said she’s surprised by the reaction to the photos, which also feature her friend Christina Luna, because it never occurred to her it would cause a stir. “There isn’t a policy saying we can or cannot breastfeed in uniform,” Echegoyen-McCabe says. “I think we do need to be able to breastfeed in uniform and be protected.” What do you think? Should they be allowed to?

Lady Gaga Wants A Fake Rolex, Thailand Wants An Apology

As Gaga brings her Born This Way Ball to Bangkok, Thailand’s government is enraged over her plans to buy fake goods. By Brendan Dempsey Lady Gaga Photo: Getty Images Lady Gaga apparently wants to go shopping in preparation for her next concert in Bangkok — for a fake Rolex. At least that’s what she told her 24 million Twitter followers upon her arrival in Bangkok on Wednesday (May 30). “I just landed in Bangkok baby! Ready for 50,000 screaming Thai monsters. I wanna get lost in a lady market and buy fake Rolex.” The tweet sparked instantaneous uproar on various social media and web forums, as many local residents felt the comment was insulting, abrasive and generally damaging to the reputation of Thailand. Gaga has yet to apologize for the tweet. I just landed in Bangkok baby! Ready for 50,000 screaming Thai monsters. I wanna get lost in a lady market and buy fake Rolex. — Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) May 23, 2012 The Commerce Ministry of Thailand is in a long-standing battle with piracy, and members of the government feel that this message directly undermines their efforts. An official at the ministry’s Intellectual Property Department recently told Reuters that: “Lady Gaga is a representative of the U.S. and the U.S. puts pressure on smaller countries to promote the protection of intellectual property,” adding that “she should tell her fans that they shouldn’t use fake goods.” The controversial message has also been addressed by members of Thailand’s music industry. Thai DJ Suharit Siamwalla responded by tweeting: “We are more civilized than you think,” then added that he now plans to boycott Gaga’s show on Friday. It seems that Mother Monster just can’t seem to stay out of trouble as her Born This Way Ball makes its way across Asia. The Thailand controversy comes almost immediately after she had to cancel a show in Indonesia , and then responded to various Islamic threats surrounding that show . Not all fans have taken umbrage with Gaga’s latest comments. Throngs of fans awaited her arrival to the hotel, and people are already camped outside Rajamangala stadium in hopes of being one of the lucky “monsters” who get to meet the pop star.

Justin Bieber To Star In First Prime-Time Network Special

‘Justin Bieber Believe: All Around The World” will air on NBC on June 21. By Gil Kaufman Justin Bieber Photo: Getty Images He’s conquered the charts, the Internet and arenas all around the world, so it just makes sense that Justin Bieber is bringing his swag to prime-time. The “Boyfriend” singer will star in his first network special on June 21 when NBC airs “Justin Bieber Believe: All Around the World.” The hour-long show will give Beliebers a behind-the-scenes look at Justin’s global promotional tour in support of his upcoming Believe album, using a combination of documentary and music performance footage. “We’re thrilled to air Justin Bieber’s first network special,” said Doug Vaughan, SVP of Special Programs and Late Night for NBC in a statement announcing the show, which will air from 8-9 p.m. ET/PT. “We’ll have unprecedented access to Justin as our cameras film not only his performances, but his every move on this global tour — giving our viewers an all access pass to his life over a 12-day period, something rarely seen on TV today.” Viewers will get a unique perspective on Bieber’s grinding schedule on the seven-country, 12-day promo tour thanks to the “Justin-cam,” which will show fans the madness from his perspective. The whirlwind tour will culminate with a special concert performance in New York City. Bieber dropped a new single this week, “Die in Your Arms,” 
 which laces his pop attack with bits of Motown harmonies and producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins’ signature funky beats. The song’s vintage swing, finger snaps and melodies certainly recall the heyday of feel-good R&B from the 1960s, which is mirrored in the song’s sentiment. On the chorus, Bieber sings, “Honestly, the truth is, if I could just die in your arms/ I wouldn’t mind/ ‘Cause every time you touch me/ I just die in your arms/ It feels so right/ So baby, baby, baby, please don’t stop girl.” “Die” is the follow-up to the more pop-‘n’-b-leaning “Boyfriend,” 
 which he dropped back in March. Last week he released a remix to the song , featuring 2 Chainz, Mac Miller and Asher Roth, which certainly ups the song’s hip-hop ante quite a bit. “And we can be like Selena and Biebs/ Wild and free, a couple disobedient teens/ Sneaking out to meet like two o’ clock in the eve/ Paparazzi ain’t a problem, we just hide on the beach,” Roth spits on the track.
