Congrats to Lynne Ramsay, Tilda Swinton and the rest of Team We Need to Talk About Kevin , which knocked off the awards-y likes of The Descendants , The Artist and Shame to emerge as best in show at this year’s BFI London Film Festival. “We were struck by the sheer panache displayed by these great storytellers,” said jury chief John Madden. “In the end, we were simply bowled over by one film, a sublime, uncompromising tale of the torment that can stand in the place of love.” Yowza! Sounds like my Friday nights. Someone give me a trophy! [ THR ]
Brit’s real-life boyfriend Jason Trawick stars in Chris Marrs Piliero-directed clip. By Jocelyn Vena Jason Trawick and Britney Spears in the “Criminal” music video Photo: Jive Britney Spears ‘ posh but incredibly mean English boyfriend asks his lovely girlfriend, “Why don’t we see that pretty little face of yours?” at the beginning of the “Criminal” video . That remark sets off a chain of events that will certainly leave Britney fans watching the Chris Marrs Piliero-directed ( “I Wanna Go” ) video on repeat. As Britney and her abusive beau make their way out of the party, him yelling at her for standing up for herself as he flirted with other girls, they come across Britney’s real-life boyfriend, Jason Trawick, who is playing one really hot bad guy with a heart of gold. The boyfriend slaps Britney, and Jason comes to her rescue, setting into motion their very hot — and very naked — love affair. He takes her back to his place, where a headline reveals he’s — you guessed it: a criminal. But, Britney doesn’t seem to mind. She kisses him. He kisses her. They get it on, showing lots of skin and giving fans a sneak peek into their personal life. They then head to a convenience store, where Britney decides to break loose and hold the place up, guns blazing. After the stickup, the pair steal a car and head back to Jason’s loft for a very revealing shower scene that includes lingering shots on their wet, naked bodies. As they wrap up the steamy shower session, the authorities close in on them, blasting bullets into the apartment. But, Britney and Jason just continue to share passionate kisses as bullets soar around them John Woo-style. Just when you think it’s the end for pop’s reigning Bonnie and Clyde, the police enter the apartment to see that the duo has escaped, unhurt, driving away on Jason’s motorcycle. As the credits roll, everyone’s left wondering what they will do next. Shot in London in September, “Criminal” is the fourth single and video from Femme Fatale .

Philly’s Qool DJ Marv has spent over a decade spinning in some of the hottest nightclubs in the world. In this exclusive to TheUrbandaily he shares why he thinks the extravagance of bottle service has hurt nightlife and the art of DJing. I have a strong opinion about bottle service and what it all stands for. Bottle service was the end of the model of the DJ as storyteller/ crowd motivator…person with the P.O.V. When it emerged it was the beginning of the end of that free spirited night life culture in Manhattan. You had parties where you heard different music, classic hip-hop and funk, all kinds. But the bottle service thing funneled it all into top 40, mash-ups and main stream rap. Before bottle service if you were presentable you could walk into a room. In the small bars and lounges you had the funky people, their whole point wasn’t to be inebriated from an entire bottle of vodka. You were there to be social, dance maybe have a couple of drinks, maybe one. Not to finish this entire bottle of vodka because you paid $250 for it. These are the middle-class, working people who just wanted to work off whatever they needed to work off with some music and some people. Bottle service says you can’t come in no more. All you have left is the people who used to be at the bar at those cool spots who felt like they were cool because they were [in the mix]. You had a corporate gig and you’re in this bar with a guy with dreadlocks dancing and you’re thinking “wow, I’m somewhere cool.” Those people drove the economies of those bars and venues. Those people that were glad to be there because it wasn’t work. They weren’t around “Biff” and “Wellington”, it was “Ahmad” and “Jose”.You had the mix of funky people and the people that drove the bar and it was all good. Then you had the geniuses that decided they were going to interpret the cabaret laws like “They can’t dance? Let’s charge them to sit.” It’s great for the capitalist but not for those paying a $200 entry fee. What’s left? The people who think they can buy their cool, credit card cool. But they’re not cool. They’re using their credit card to express their coolness. They start looking around and nobody here has flavor. Because everybody here is like me, they all PAID for it. “Hey DJ, play something we know.” A DJ in that scene [becomes] a human jukebox to people getting as drunk as they can possibly get. That kind of energy needs that kind of music and I’m not any of that. This place called Lotus opened up on 14th St and I got recommended to play there once by a guy that played there regularly on the weekend. And the manager comes to me during the middle of my set and he says “hey, you gotta pick it up. You gotta get it going.” I look around and see people dancing, etc. Then he says: “Did so-and-so recommend you for this gig? “Yes” “Well play like so-and-so…” They paid a lot at the time because they were charging people $200 plus to walk in the door. But I didn’t know how to be a robot, a human iPod. I didn’t know how to detach my whole point of view so that I could play street rap to 90% Caucasians scared to go to the streets. They’re looking at me like I should be their enabler, and it was weird. I couldn’t play act it, I couldn’t suffer through it. My ex-wife was disappointed that Lotus gig didn’t work out, I was too. I didn’t know if I’d made some mistake. But I knew that wasn’t the place to be. It ended up being a mutual decision. They said I was too mellow and I said “Thank you! I’m out of here.” RELATED POSTS: VIDEO: Diddy “Apologizes” To Vodka Rivals From Bathtub Qool DJ Marv Is HBO’s Secret Weapon [VIDEO]

As you can see from the headline, This Must Be the Place has a pretty strange premise. Oscar winner Sean Penn stars as a Robert Smith-like Goth rocker who comes to America to see his dying father for the first time in 30 years, and then searches for the S.S. officer that made his life hell in Auschwitz. There are also Arcade Fire jokes. Click through to watch — though be mindful of the volume varying music cues.
“The evening was certainly an affair to remember,” a source tells us. “Every detail embodied the couple from the design of place cards to the place settings to the music and, of course, to the dessert bar. It was a truly special evening. The couple couldn#39;t be more in love with one another.” How sweet it is!
