ATL rapper Yung Joc is denying allegations that he played a role in the robbery of his own studio. As we previously reported, Joc’s northwest Atlanta recording studio was robbed earlier this month. Joc’s brother and his brother’s girlfriend were in the studio at the time of the robbery and were bound with duct tape and forced into a bathroom while the thieves robbed the studio of over $70,000 of equipment. In an interview with WSB-TV, Joc denied rumors that he played a role in the robbery in order to collect insurance. Joc stated that he was actually in the process of choosing an insurance provider at the time of the robbery. He also said he lost songs that he had recorded with artists like Lil Wayne , Jazmine Sullivan and Pitbull.

‘I’m pretty intuitive,’ actor tells MTV News about why he wanted to work with the pop star on an upcoming basketball-themed drama. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Mark Wahlberg Photo: MTV News Mark Wahlberg surprised movie fans everywhere when he announced plans to hook up with Justin Bieber on the big screen. But when MTV News caught up with the “Contraband” star recently, he explained why he wanted to work with the teen phenom on the basketball-themed drama. “Intuition. I’m pretty intuitive,” he said of why he thinks shooting a film with the pop star is the right choice. “I see the guy and spent time with him, and you see what he does and how he does it, and then you actually have a conversation with him, and it’s there.” Of course, if it doesn’t come easily to the rookie actor, Wahlberg has a backup plan: “It’s there — and if not, I will extract it.” When MTV News caught up with Wahlberg and Bieber earlier this year at the MTV Movie Awards, they opened up a bit more about the in-the-works flick. “Wait till you see me and Bieber in the flick. Think of, like, ‘The Color of Money,’ ” Wahlberg said of his “old guy” role. “So I get this call from Paramount [with a story about] an old guy and a young guy. I’m like, ‘Cool, let’s get Jack [Nicholson]. Let’s get Robert De Niro. Let’s get Robert Duvall.’ And they go, ‘What about Garrett Hedlund?’ I’m like, ‘For what?’ ” he further recalled. “They’re like, ‘For the young guy.’ ” Bieber, who previously appeared on the big screen in his 3-D concert flick “Never Say Never,” said he hopes to be on a film set by sometime next summer. And while he kept his plans hush-hush, he added that his team is “working on the script.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Decemberists and Civil Wars also on the disc. By Gil Kaufman Taylor Swift Photo: Getty Images The soundtrack to “The Hunger Games” will feature a bumper crop of new and unreleased songs by Taylor Swift , the Arcade Fire and the Decemberists. The album will be produced by Grammy-winning producer T Bone Burnett and released before the movie hits theaters on March 23. Burnett and the group the Civil Wars got together to write an original tune for the CD with Swift, the first single, “Safe and Sound,” which was released to iTunes on December 23. The tune shot to #1 on the iTunes singles list within 24 hours of release. Also serving up fresh tracks are the Arcade Fire, who collaborated with Burnett on “Horn of Plenty,” and the Decemberists, who’ve offered up the original song “One Engine.” The rest of the lineup has not been released, but according to a press release the soundtrack will feature all new songs based on themes that figure into the movie’s storyline. Oscar-winning composer Danny Elfman recently exited the film, citing scheduling issues as he works to finish up the music for “Dark Shadows” and “Men in Black 3.” He was replaced by James Newton Howard, who is responsible for dozens of famous scores, including “Batman Begins.” Inspired by the best-selling young-adult novel by Suzanne Collins, “The Hunger Games” follows the path of 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), who is chosen to compete in a vicious televised tournament in which 24 teenagers from a post-apocalyptic society fight to the death for the entertainment of the masses. The film also stars Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, as well as Woody Harrelson and rocker Lenny Kravitz. Lawrence will not only star in the movie, but she will also lend her vocals to the soundtrack. Producer Burnett had high praise for her singing, telling MTV it was “beautiful. She did great. She’s singing great. Killer actor too.” Fans are totally geeked about the new big-screen adaptation that could be the next-generation “Twilight” series, which is why we put together our list of the top 10 “Games” moments of 2011.

Grandma’s used underwear? Condoms for 9th graders? An unpaid, unbooked vacation to Australia??? We couldn’t have made up some of these horrible Christmas gifts if we had thought about it all year. Luckily, we didn’t have to. Last year, KDVR in Denver held a contest asking viewers to tell the station about their worst Christmas gifts ever. Flip through and check out the ones that made us laugh (or shake our heads… or both) the most.
