Asher Roth Makes His NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Pick

While the MC says ‘America’s team is Butler,’ he ends up siding with the charmed Michigan State Spartans. By Steven Roberts Asher Roth Photo: MTV News It’s safe to say that no one aced their bracket in this year’s upset-heavy NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. A few weeks back, Asher Roth invited a few celebs pals , including Taylor Swift and Devin the Dude, and hundreds of other bracketologists to compete in his Asher Roth’s 2010 NCAA Tournament Pick ‘Em League . Everyone thought they had the inside track on who would be cutting down the net in Indianapolis. Fast-forward a couple of weeks and a dozen upsets later, and we find Duke, Michigan State, West Virginia and Butler in the Final Four. MTV News recently caught up with a humbled Asher, who partnered with the sports-clothing company No Mas for the league, to see who he thought would win the big dance. “You know what? America’s team is Butler,” Roth said. “I hate Duke. I’m sorry. Go ahead and hate me, but I hate Duke. I can’t get down. To me, that’s just the easy way out. Michigan State just seems to have the charm with them, so you know what? I’m going to go ahead and say — well, West Virginia too, man.” Asher eventually decided on the Michigan State Spartans. He said the team out of East Lansing would surprise hoops fans and continue to play solid basketball, despite losing point guard Kalin Lucas to an injury. Roth did admit that he might not be the right guy to ask, however. “My bracket’s a mess, so you don’t even want to ask me about that,” he said. “I went wrong. I thought Kentucky was going to hold us down, all of the freshmen. I thought all of the freshmen were going to do it, even though DeMarcus Cousins is not a freshman. There’s no way that kid is a freshman.” Which team is your pick to win the national championship? Was your bracket as big a mess as Asher’s? Let us know in the comments below!

MTV’s Musical March Madness Final Four Preview: Muse

British rockers take on My Chemical Romance after pounding the White Stripes. By James Montgomery Muse Photo: Warner/Getty Images/MTV News Who : Champions of the Midwest region in MTV’s Musical March Madness tournament , Muse roll into the Final Four with a whole lot of momentum at their British backs, having knocked off a murderers’ row of rock-radio heavies just to make it to this point. Sort of a stripped-down version of Michigan’s famed Fab Five (since, you know, there are only three of them), Muse mauled the competition with a game that’s equal parts finesse and pound-n-ground, highlighted by the fleet-fingered shredding and multi-octave range of guitarist/frontman Matthew Bellamy and the pummeling, precise combo of drummer Dominic Howard and bassist Christopher Wolstenholme, perhaps the best frontcourt in the tourney. How They Got Here : Muse faced perhaps the toughest road to the Final Four, entering the tournament as a #2 seed, then facing a baptism of fire in their first round matchup against seasoned vets the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Muse eeked out a 51-49 victory, but things didn’t get any easier from there, as they were pitted against rock-radio brutes Breaking Benjamin in the round of 32. They won a tightly contested 53-47 battle, then advanced to the Sweet 16, where they took down upset-minded AFI by the same score. Their easiest matchup came in the Elite Eight, where they pounded the fourth-seeded White Stripes , perhaps showing that they’re rounding into top form at precisely the right time. The Outlook : Like we said, Muse are hitting their stride, and they’ll make for a tough out in the Final Four. They command a rather ginormous international fanbase, and, after years of grinding it out, they’ve finally broken through stateside, too. Last year’s The Resistance debuted at #3 on the Billboard albums chart (their highest U.S. bow ever), selling an impressive 128,000 copies, and their song “Uprising” is a rock-radio mainstay, having hung around on the charts for 34 weeks now. Plus, after besting the likes of the Chili Peppers and AFI, Muse are battle tested, which means we wouldn’t bet against them at this point. The only downside? They’ll go up against My Chemical Romance in the Final Four, which might prove to be too tough a matchup for even the mighty men of Muse. Throughout the day, we’ll be breaking down the four bands still standing in MTV’s Musical March Madness tournament. Voting on the Final Four opens Friday on the Newsroom blog and runs until Sunday night. Related Photos MTV News’ Band Bracketology Who Will Win MTV’s Musical March Madness?! Related Artists Muse

Lil Wayne Told His Family To Be ‘Strong’ During His Incarceration, Ex-Wife Says

‘At this point it is what it is, and we just gotta make the best of it,’ Antonia ‘Toya’ Johnson told Vibe magazine. By Hillary Crosley Lil Wayne arrives in court on March 8, 2010 in New York City Photo: Louis Lanzano/ AP Images After several postponements due to dental surgery, a courthouse fire and court-date rescheduling, Lil Wayne finally turned himself in on Monday to begin his one-year jail sentence at Rikers Island. However, he wasn’t the only one feeling the strain. The rapper’s ex-wife Antonia “Toya” Johnson and daughter Reginae shuttled back and forth to the New York City courthouse from Atlanta in anticipation of his incarceration. “It was up and down, you know. One minute we thought he was going and she’d be sad, and then he don’t go,” Johnson told Vibe magazine recently. “We [were] in New York like two times and we ended up turning right back around because he didn’t go.” Despite all of the back-and-forth, Reginae missed seeing her father on Monday when he began his sentence stemming from a July 2007 gun-possession charge. “The last day he finally went in, we didn’t go, so my daughter was like, ‘I wish I would’ve went.’ It was just too much. I just didn’t want to let her see that again ’cause both times she took it real hard,” said Johnson. “So I was like, I’m not gon’ let her go this last time. I’m just gon’ make sure he talk to her ’cause I didn’t know if he was really gonna go. They kept pushing back.” Wayne might be the biggest rapper on the planet, but he’s just “Dad” to Reginae, so Johnson said the time apart will be hard on the 11 year-old. “He just told me to be strong and don’t really trip. Don’t let her see me down,” said Johnson. “At first my daughter would see me a little sad and you know kids they react off of your feelings sometimes, so he was just like, ‘Be strong, make sure you take care of her. Make sure she straight and keep her phone on all the time so I can call her. The time is gonna fly by.’ “The whole point of him being in jail is just not good for her — to say her dad’s in jail,” Johnson continued. “But at this point it is what it is, and we just gotta make the best of it. I’ma take her to visit him and talk to him and she’ll get through this eight months. It’ll fly by. I tell her all the time, ‘Just call daddy and tell him you love him,’ and he’ll be home soon.” Lil Wayne and Johnson married in 2004 and divorced in 2006. In 2009, Johnson and her friend, T.I.’s fianc
