As we stand just hours away from the moment Kim Kardashian walks down the aisle and marries NBA baller Kris Humphries, we decided to honor one of the best a**es in the business. Kim K. will break a lot of hearts across America when she says “I Do,” and we envy you Kris Humphries-Kardashian. We really do. But just so you know, we’ve been looking at Kim’s a** long before you came in the picture, and we’re still going to look at her “assets” after you make her your wife. (Sorry, bud).

‘Well, that’s actually part of what the metaphor is — you can’t,’ Gaga responds to a fan’s question about how a mermaid has sex. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Sway Calloway Lady Gaga on “MTV First: Lady Gaga” Photo: Scott Gries / Picture Group Lady Gaga packs a lot of visual punch into her “Yo
Bay Area rapper was joined onstage by V-Nasty. By Paul Cantor Kreayshawn (file) Photo: Johnny Nunez/ WireImage NEW YORK — On Wednesday, while premiering their video for “Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie” on MTV.com, the Red Hot Chili Peppers said they decided to scrap the version of the video that was originally directed by Bay Area rapper Kreayshawn — she of “Gucci Gucci” fame — and go with something that they felt was more “them.” If the news caused any damage to the budding female MC’s ego, it didn’t show last night. She was warmly embraced by a Big Apple crowd at the Highline Ballroom, her first official performance in New York City. Diminutive and wiry, Kreayshawn burst onto the stage at 10:45, after the audience was treated to opening sets by rappers Moe Green, Roach Gigz, Phony Ppl and finally, Smoke DZA. Despite the openers, the energy in the venue initially remained icy. It resembled something of a showcase, with people anxious to see if the controversial rapper — who’s up for a Best New Artist award at the 2011 VMAs — could hold her own in front of a feisty and oft-critical New York audience. Speculation also abounded about whether or not her White Girl Mob counterpart V-Nasty would let loose with a barrage of N-words, as she’s recently come under fire for doing. Kreayshawn didn’t seem swayed, though. Clad in a white Bathing Ape T-shirt, mom jeans and a colorful snapback cap, she squealed — often inaudibly, but not without a distinguishable melisma — over the backing vocal tracks of lesser-known cuts from her Kittys x Choppas mixtape (“Wavey”), and newer, unreleased material (“Left Eye”). Playful, petite and most of all, entertaining, she gingerly marauded from one end of the stage to the other. The energy was turned up a notch, however, when V-Nasty took the stage. Donning a retro Charlotte Hornets cap, a plain white T-shirt and jeans, she tore into cuts from her Don’t Bite Just Taste mixtape, and then played Thelma to Kreayshawn’s Louise for the rest of the show. The show’s climax, however, came when Kreay explored her most popular tunes. The opening synth blurps of “Bumpin Bumpin” got the entire crowd’s hands in the air, and then her DJ, Two Stacks, dropped the beat for “Gucci Gucci.” The audience sang back each line to Kreayshawn, while a random person walked onstage and took a courageous stage dive. “Why there only guys up here?” Kreayshawn questioned, as the beat was halted. “I need a bad bitch up here.” Her request went unmet, but that didn’t stop the crowd from singing the song a capella until its end. She parted the stage amidst a dance party, singing the lyrics to Alexander O’Neal’s 1985 hit “Saturday Love.” It was a fitting, celebratory close to a night on which New York finally gave one of hip-hop’s most controversial new artists its nod of approval.

The Mother Monster talks about which of the country’s big problems she’d like to solve. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Sway Calloway Lady Gaga Photo: Scott Gries/ Picture Group Lady Gaga has never been shy to stump for political causes. She’s stumped for marriage equality and spoke out against “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Her Born This Way track “Americano” even touches on immigration issues, but just because she’s currently pop music’s most vocal advocate doesn’t mean she’d want anything to do with actually holding public office. During the live “MTV First: Lady Gaga” on Thursday night, the singer said that she has no aspirations to ever do something like become president, even if she was given a free pass for the day to be the leader of the free world. Watch as Gaga lets her fans announce that she’s opening the VMAs this year. “Well, first of all, I wouldn’t want to be president for the day,” she told MTV News. “And I say that because I really, for myself, it’s important that my message, although it has political implications, I like to keep myself separate. “Because politics can constrain things,” she continued. “So our message can be completely free of any politics and we can just surge forward.” Lady Gaga gave us the real story behind her “Yo
My name is Cassidy and I’m 16 years old. I love Justin Bieber so much and I would never have thought in a million years I would ever meet him…but like Justin says: NEVER SAY NEVER! One of my good friends Paige and I would always talk about him in our biology class and she would always tell me about her Bieber experiences, and would say that I’ll meet him one day. On Tuesday morning, August 16th, I woke up and got all these phone calls that Justin was in town at our local sky high and trampoline place. I was with my friend and we literally got dressed and rushed over to the movies (Muvico) around 11:30am because we thought for some reason he might go there that night to watch a movie since he has been there with Jaden Smith before. I was calling all my friends to see if they were at the mall and if they had seen Justin there but they said no. I don’t know why but I had this gut feeling that he was going to be there. I waited in front of the movie theatre literally all day and by 9:00pm my friend Natalie and I were about to give up and leave because it was about to close anyways. My friend said we should just go, he’s not coming. I told her no we can’t, I still have a feeling he might come! Then about an hour later around 10:00pm I see a group of girls running towards someone and I look over a car and it was JUSTIN BIEBER! I felt like I was dreaming. He was with Jaden Smith and Moises Arias too. I started running to him but he was already running towards me because he had to hurry and get in his car before girls started attacking him! I quickly asked him if I could get a picture together and he said, “Yeah is your camera already on?” and I said “Yessss!” Then his bodyguard took the picture. I honestly couldn’t remember anything after the picture. I don’t even remember saying thank you and if he said anything, I was just so shocked/speechless that I just met and got a picture with Justin! After that my friend Natalie asked for a picture and with him and he said, “Sorry I can’t. I’m in a rush” but she at least got a picture of his back getting into his car. It was seriously a dream come true for me! My friend and I walked to the curb of the parking lot to watch him drive away and that’s when I started crying so hard. I’ve never cried so hard in my life. The very first person I called was my friend Paige because we had been talking throughout the day. I then called my mom and told her the same thing and she thought I was in a car accident or something because I was crying so hard and couldn’t talk. That whole time I honestly thought it was all a dream, it just didn’t feel real to me, it was so crazy! I am most definitely proud to say that I met Justin Bieber and I’m going to frame that picture of us and keep it forever! My dreams finally came true, I can’t thank Justin enough for what he does for his fans and I can truly call him my inspiration! I love you Justin Drew Bieber. – @ cassidyaddison Original post: My name is Cassidy and I’m 16 years old. I love Justin…

‘Twilight’ couple, played by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, get steamy in a new batch of stills. By Terri Schwartz Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” Photo: Summit Fans were already invited to Bella and Edward’s “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” wedding , and now, new photos are giving a sneak peek at the hotly anticipated honeymoon. Chess game on the beach of Isle Esme? Check. Scantily clad swimming sessions under a waterfall? Check. Bella’s realization that she’s pregnant with a half-vampire, half-human baby? Absolutely. Summit certainly didn’t skimp with this round of stills, which includes some of the pics featured in last week’s Entertainment Weekly. Click here for steamy new photos of Bella and Edward. Judging by the photos, viewers can expect plenty of romancing during the “Breaking Dawn” honeymoon. First, there’s the moonlit naked rendezvous that was teased at Comic-Con, and these stills show off another sexy trip into the water. Kristen Stewart certainly appears to be enjoying herself in the first picture, but it looks like she and Robert Pattinson are being interrupted by an unwelcome visitor in the second. There are three other pictures of Bella and Edward being adorable, including one of the couple playing chess. It is a nod to the cover of the “Breaking Dawn” novel, which features a queen at the forefront of a chessboard. Spoiler: The queen represents Bella coming into her own in the final “Twilight Saga” installment. While one picture shows Stewart and Pattinson in their honeymoon bed, the presence of director Bill Condon spoils a bit of the excitement. Fortunately, there are other cute pictures showing them riding on a yacht to Isle Esme and then walking around the island together. The last image of the two of them shows that there’s some trouble in paradise, though, as Bella clutches her stomach after realizing she’s pregnant. Another photo shows Cullen siblings Alice and Rosalie — played by Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed — doing Bella’s hair in preparation of her wedding. It is one of the few wedding-related images that has been shown beyond the actual wedding sequence that was teased in the trailer . The only still released that doesn’t have anything to do with the couple at the center of “Breaking Dawn” is one of Reed and Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black. It’s a tease for the argumentative interactions that the two characters have in the final two “Twilight Saga” films, something that became a fan-favorite part of the last of Stephenie Meyer’s novels. Fingers crossed that this picture takes place while Jacob directs one of his many blond jokes at Rosalie.

Director tells MTV News about film’s use of ‘Aroma-Scope’ technology. By Kara Warner Joel McHale, Jessica Alba, Mason Cook and Rowan Blanchard in “Spy Kids 4” Photo: Dimension Films Director Robert Rodriguez has made a career out of pushing the filmmaking envelope in various ways, from “Desperado” to “From Dusk Till Dawn” to his very successful “Spy Kids” franchise, which includes the first resurgent 3-D film, 2003’s “Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over.” To mark the release of the fourth “Spy Kids” film, Rodriguez has added another level to the 3-D canon with “Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D.” And what exactly makes a film 4-D? A little extra sensory overload provided by what Rodriguez calls an “Aroma-Scope.” “Instead of just going 3-D like we did on the last one, we brought in 4-D, which is a very fun gimmick that I found in this old movie in the ’80s,” Rodriguez told MTV News of being inspired by John Waters’ use of Smell-O-Vision for 1981’s “Polyester.” “It’s kind of a scratch-and-sniff [experience] and you get to be really, almost like a video game, interactive with the movie. There are some really surprising smells, and some of the biggest laughs come from that.” Rodriguez went on to say that the Aroma-Scope, which is a card with eight numbers on it that audience members are given with their 3-D glasses, provides viewers with a less passive and more interactive film-going experience. “Even my own kids, people today are so interactive with gaming that to go and watch the movie feels so passive, so this really bridges the gap between the two,” he explained. “You’re watching the movie and then almost like video game numbers come up and you [scratch] the cards and smell almost exactly what the characters are smelling. It’s funny, the characters are all reacting to it, the adults are reacting to it — it’s really fun.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Spy Kids: All the Time in the World.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
September 28, 2009. The day I’ll never forget. I met my idol, inspiration, and favourite singer, Justin Bieber. It all started when my friend entered the contest at 91.5 The Beat. She even assumed she wouldn’t win, but one day, she got the call saying she won! 2 minutes later she called my house and was basically screaming asking me, “Will you come meet Justin Bieber with me?! I just won the contest!” I screamed and ran around the house, and I yelled YES. Of course, we got to meet him on a school day, which means I got to miss school just to meet him. It was awesome. Now me and her can both say we’ve met our inspiration, we have our picture with him, and I have his autograph. His arm was around me, probably the best minute of my life. He even got to talk to us for a bit & listen to him without screaming fans all around. Never say never and take every chance you get because you don’t know how amazing something could turn out to be. -Faith Bramer Read this article: September 28, 2009. The day I’ll never forget.
