Pauly D Fully Supports ‘Snooki & JWoww’

‘Jersey Shore’ star, who just wrapped up his own spin-off, says there is no rivalry among the cast. By Jocelyn Vena Pauly D Photo: Don’t expect there to be any tension among the “Jersey Shore” crew as they film the next season of their hit show. According to the cast, there are no hard feelings between since they fully support one another’s spin-offs. Pauly D just wrapped up his own MTV series, “The Pauly D Project,” just in time for the network to welcome “Snooki & JWoww” to its lineup. The show, which premiered Thursday, will follow the girls as they have one final fling before Snooki welcomes her first child into the world. Before it even kicked off, Mr. Delvecchio himself expressed his excitement about the show. “Oh, no way [is there any rivalry]. No way!’ he told MTV News back in April at the network’s upfront. “I’m actually dying to see their show. I want to see it ’cause we’ve all been through this together too, so were experiencing all the spin-offs together.” The love goes both ways, with the mama-to-be also agreeing that no matter what anyone in the crew does, whether it be a TV show or any other project, the “JS” family will always have one another’s backs. “Every time something happens with any of us we’re always happy for each other,” Snooki said. “We’re never like ‘Ugh, they got that.’ We’re very genuine about it.” But just because the cast only shares love, doesn’t mean that sometimes they won’t get into an argument or two . “We have a couple fights, it’s pretty amusing now that we’re over them,” JWoww told MTV News in June about her new show. “It’s just typical relationship … me and him are hotheads. We go from zero to sixty, and he’s the first boyfriend that I’ve ever had that won’t back down … Roger’s like ‘you’re out of your mind.’ You kinda saw it last season when I tried to give him sh– and he was like, ‘I don’t know who you think you’re talking to.’ ” Related Videos Snooki & JWOWW | Ep. 1 | Sorry Neighbors, Cause These Bitches Are Moving In MTV News Extended Play: Snooki And JWoww Related Photos Snooki & JWOWW | Cast Photos

Chris Brown: ‘Look At Me Now’ Gave Me Hip-Hop Cred

‘I didn’t sing on the record at all. It just was a rap song,’ budding MC Breezy tells MTV News. By Rebecca Thomas Chris Brown Photo: When we caught up with Chris Brown last March, he was still rocking a blond crop (remember that?) and he’d just dropped what he jokingly called his “first rap video,” “Look at Me Now.” Breezy’s bars were cheeky, with allusions to yellow Lambos … among other things yellow — and surprisingly adept. Still, while featured guest Lil Wayne gave the pop&B singer a co-sign, the YMCMB captain also famously told Rolling Stone that he would stop at letting Brown spit on his own record, insisting, “I cannot have Chris Brown rapping on Tha Carter IV. ” Weezy offered this by way of explanation: “Do you know how many rappers would be like, ‘I can’t get on Tha Carter IV, but this n—a put Chris Brown on that bitch? Rapping?” Well, Chris wasn’t going to sit around waiting for a Wayne feature. Having made enough believers out of the chart-topping track, he decided to keep it coming. “I didn’t sing on the record at all. It just was a rap song,” Brown told us when he visited the MTV Newsroom last week, incidentally, hours before he found himself at the center of a bottle brawl with rapper Drake . “So I was like, ‘Cool, if they going with it, I’m gonna keep going.” Freestyles followed as Chris shored up his rap cred. And on the upcoming Fortune, he put the growth on display, teaming up again with F.A.M.E. collaborators Big Sean and Wiz Khalifa for the drum-laced “Till I Die.” But Team Breezy shouldn’t worry that Chris plans to quit crooning. Though he has the full blessing of his (initially reluctant) management team to craft sweet 16s, he’s just having a good time. “With the hip-hop and the rapping, it’s more of — I wouldn’t say [a] hobby — it’s just me expressing myself. “I’m not going to sit here and say I’m the best rapper or I’m a rapper,” he added with a big smile. “I’m just saying I could do it, I guess, if y’all like it.” How do you rate Chris’ skills as an MC?

Lady Gaga To Reveal Album Title In September

‘I’ve played my new record for my label and will be announcing my new Album Title in September!’ Gaga tweets. By Jocelyn Vena Lady Gaga Photo: Joe Scarnici/ WireImage Wondering what Lady Gaga plans to call her next album? Well, you’re going to have to wait through the summer to find out. The singer, currently on her controversial Born This Way Tour , tweeted that she will make the announcement this fall. “Exciting news little monsters! I’ve played my new record for my label and will be announcing my new Album Title in September! X,” she wrote. Gaga has, in fact, been playing the record for her bosses and inner circle. She also revealed on Twitter that she spun the new music, her follow-up to 2011’s Born This Way, for her longtime pal Lady Starlight. And her co-manager Vincent Herbert had some of his own teases for Little Monsters in an interview he gave late last month. “[It’s] just [an] insane, great record. She’s on tour right now, but it’s just going to be a great record. Look out for the unexpected when it comes to her,” he said. “We’re doing it on the road right now, so it’s a little hard, but it’s going to be great.” Though it’s unclear how far along in the recording process she is for the release, in an interview with MTV News in December, she already had the highly anticipated album title in mind. “I’ve started writing it and I have the name for it and all the concepts are beginning to flourish and take place,” she said. “I’m excited to put it out, but it’s not done yet. So I’ll put it out when it’s done.” Her producer, Fernando Garibay, confirmed in a separate interview last year that Mother Monster would be working on the album while on tour. “I get a little bit of anxiety thinking about that right now. I wanna just always try to outdo ourselves, our songs. They’re already incredible songs. But I feel like she’s so young,” he said, adding that at the time, the record was in its early stages and that “there’s a lot of room to grow.” “The last record we made in bus stops and hotel rooms,” he said. “Wherever she’s at, we’ll make it.” Related Artists Lady Gaga

Big K.R.I.T. Makes ‘Important’ Music With B.B. King

‘He heard the record, he loved it and he also played the guitar on it,’ K.R.I.T. tells ‘RapFix Live’ about ‘Praying Man.’ By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Sway Calloway, Big K.R.I.T. and Ed Lover on “RapFix Live” Photo: MTV News Big K.R.I.T. may be a new artist, but the standout Mississippi MC has an old musical soul. On Tuesday, K.R.I.T. released his debut album, Live From the Underground, and while he features quite a few artists on his LP, the one that stands out the most is blues legend B.B. King . “I think doing a record with B.B. King allowed me the opportunity to blend two different generations across the board and make a song that I hope is extremely impactful,” the King Remembered in Time told MTV News correspondent Sway, Ed Lover and Doctor Dre when he appeared on “RapFix Live” on Wednesday. The record is “Praying Man,” a poignant story-driven rap on which K.R.I.T. rhymes from the perspective of three slaves who are facing death. During the first verse he rhymes as a slave hanging from a tree in a noose and in the second he tells the story of a slave jumps off his captive ship into the Atlantic Ocean. On the final verse, K.R.I.T. spits about a man running from a lynch mob. It’s all pretty deep and a far cry from most of today’s rap fare. “All three of these people are dead, but they’re rappin’ to you as if they didn’t know and the praying man that they’re talking about is death coming to take them from their situation,” the producer/MC explained of the track’s concept. “When I was working on the record I was like, ‘Yo, this would be crazy if I got B.B. King on the song.’ ” Krizzle’s wishful thinking eventually turned into a reality. “I was actually able to make it happen. He heard the record, he loved it and he also played the guitar on it. He gave it his own feel as well,” K.R.I.T. said before he confirmed that he will also shoot a video for the song. “I’m excited for people to hear it and when we do shoot a visual, because I know we got to, it gotta be cinematic.” Coming from the South, K.R.I.T., who built his buzz by releasing a trilogy of free mixtapes , felt it was his duty to tell these types of stories on his album after hearing stories about the civil rights movement from his grandmother. “It’s important that I talk about all that. It’s a lot of people that died for me to have the opportunity that I have now, just the freedom,” he said. “It shouldn’t be forgotten as far as the past is concerned.” What is your favorite song off Big K.R.I.T.’s Live From the Underground ?
