Is This the First-Season Plot for the Chinese Version of The Office?

Perhaps the second season, too. Many have wondered what the Chinese version of The Office will look like, but with ripped-from-the-headlines material like this, the producers will certainly have enough to work with. Via NPR : “A massive traffic jam in north China that stretches for dozens of miles and hit its 10-day mark on Tuesday stems from road construction in Beijing that won’t be finished until the middle of next month. Some drivers have been stuck in the jam for five days.” And you thought your commute was bad. [ NPR via The Awl ]

Lady Gaga’s Next Album Will Be ‘Shocking,’ Producer RedOne Says

‘That’s part of my job and her job — to keep her evolving,’ he tells Billboard. By Kara Warner Lady Gaga Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ FilmMagic Hot on the heels of Lady Gaga’s confident pronouncement that her upcoming album is the “absolute greatest work I’ve ever done,” “utter liberation” and an “anthem for my generation for the next decade” comes echoing praise from a reliable — if slightly biased — source: her producer RedOne. “It’s going to be shocking, shocking, shocking!” the Moroccan/Swedish master mixer behind “Just Dance,” “LoveGame,” “Poker Face,” “Bad Romance” and “Alejandro” told Billboard of Gaga’s new music. “You never want to go too far from your brand — people love you for a reason. But we still want to give them something with a kick, something that makes them say, ‘Oh my God! We didn’t expect this!’ ” RedOne (real name: Nadir Khayat) said a big part of his job and future collaborations with Gaga are about evolution. “When you heard ‘Bad Romance’ after ‘Poker Face,’ it was like the best thing you’ve ever heard,” he said. “We want that type of reaction. I think that’s part of my job and her job — to keep her evolving.” The producer told Billboard that he worked on at least two tracks on Gaga’s new album but also encouraged her to collaborate with others (he produced a total of nine tracks on The Fame and The Fame Monster ), though he wouldn’t divulge which hitmakers might be producing songs on the upcoming album. “After ‘Just Dance’ and ‘Poker Face,’ ‘LoveGame’ and ‘Boys Boys Boys,’ I got a sound out of her, and that made it easier for other producers,” he said. “Her sound is so defined that, no matter what, people can follow it. That sound belongs to her.” What are you expecting from Gaga’s new music? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Lady Gaga

Snooki Says Miami Girls ‘Threw Themselves’ At The ‘Jersey Shore’ Guys

‘Even in Seaside, before [anyone] knew who we were, the guys got a lot of girls,’ Snooki explains. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Audrey Kim Snooki Photo: MTV News Anyone who’s seen the first couple of episodes of the new season of “Jersey Shore” can tell that all the club-hopping, game-kicking action we witnessed last season in Seaside Heights has been ramped up exponentially with the crew down in Miami Beach. With greater public exposure, so it seems, comes greater temptation. But as Snooki told MTV News, the lure of the MTV cameras was evident back in Jersey too. “Even in Seaside, before [anyone] knew who we were, the guys got a lot of girls,” she explained. “The girls were throwing themselves at them. It was just 10 times more in Miami.” While Ronnie flirted with Jell-O shot girls and enjoyed a few three-way kisses at South Beach clubs , Snooki and her girls kept the gawking dudes at bay — well aware of their true, I-wanna-be-a-star motives. “And the guys, for us, it just wasn’t a good time, because we knew why they were throwing themselves at us,” she said. “I was just like, ‘No, not having it!’ ” Nor were they or “Shore” producers having any of the constant attention of tabloid photographers, who trailed the kids from gym to tanning salon to laundry to their jobs at a local gelato shop . “Miami, it was very overwhelming,” Snooki said. “Right when we got to the house, there was paparazzi everywhere. But the fact that the producers and the editing crew, they made it look like there was nothing there — made it so much better. Because we tried to avoid them so much, and you know the paparazzi — they’re going to follow us anywhere. We did what we could and we were still ourselves, no matter what.” “No money or fame can change us,” she added. Watch “Jersey Shore” Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.

FlashForward Producers Really Thought They Would Get a Second Season

And maybe even a third, fourth and fifth. What other way to explain the series finale last night, an affair that could have been easily retrofit to wrap the show up, but instead chose to end on multiple cliffhangers?
