Proud Papa Hov will have lots to celebrate next year, between the birth of his first seed with BeyBey and his Nets finally making their move to the borough where he was born. While we don’t have much insight into his plans for the first big event, he’s already beginning to reveal big moves around the second, including a major concert series to break in the new stadium being built to host the team. Rap mogul Jay-Z will headline a series of concerts to open Brooklyn’s new Nets arena next fall – and will make it official Monday: The team will be named for his hometown. The superstar, who owns a small piece of the soon-to-be renamed Brooklyn Nets, will perform at eight concerts to celebrate the grand opening of the arena – where all-access passes are going for up to $15,400 a season. Jay-Z likely will be joined by his wife, Beyoncé – who by then will have given birth to the couple’s first child – at one of the shows, and will bring on a series of other performers, sources said. Jay-Z will appear with developer Bruce Ratner and Borough President Marty Markowitz to reveal details of the shows Monday at the Prospect Heights construction site. The Barclays Center, which is rapidly rising at Flatbush and Atlantic Aves., is set to officially open on Sept. 28, 2012, with the first concert and will have three weeks of special events before the basketball season starts. They’ll also make it official today that the team will be named the Brooklyn Nets, sources said. Although that name was long expected, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov flirted with the idea of changing the team name when he bought the Nets last year, even joking he might name it after his girlfriend – and change it every time he got a new one. The Nets are touting the pricey all-access passes – which are $15,400 a person for 44 games for courtside seats – in glossy brochures they’re using to woo local businesses to advertise at the arena. The passes come with access to swanky clubs, free food and first dibs on concert tickets, boxing matches and other events. Other NBA teams offer similar VIP deals, and Nets ticket prices at the Brooklyn arena are about on par with what the Knicks charge at Madison Square Garden. The team started selling season tickets in March. A spokesman said the team has sold half of its 100 luxury suites – including one to Jay-Z. The Barclays Center is the centerpiece of Ratner’s controversial Atlantic Yards project, which also includes 16 housing and commercial towers. The rest of the project has been delayed repeatedly. Ratner had pledged to start construction on the first residential building by the end of this year, but he now says it may be early next year. Don’t know how many times he has to tell y’all… he ain’t a businessman, he’s a BUSINESS man! Hov will not lose when it comes to this Brooklyn Nets business. Now let’s just hope there are no further issues with Barclays Center! Source

I’ve never once had any desire to get married, except for that one time with that coked out Russian stripper, but after seeing these pictures I might reconsider. Here’s supermodel Lily Aldridge in some sexy wedding night lingerie. I do. Jesus yes! I do. Unbelievable. I highly doubt this is what a woman looks like on her wedding night, six hours stuffed into double layered Spanx drinking, dancing and wolfing down crappy food? Come on. That’s why supermodels are so awesome. Enjoy.

We shed some light on the mysterious lunar adventure. By Eric Ditzian “Apollo 18” Photo: Dimension Films Let’s give the folks responsible for “Apollo 18″ some credit: The viral marketing campaign behind their moon-landing horror flick has been convincing enough that NASA has had to come out and declare , ” ‘Apollo 18’ is not a documentary. The film is a work of fiction.” We’re not exactly convinced the American public was starting to believe Apollo 18 wasn’t, in fact, a canceled moon mission but, as the film suggests, a cover-up to hide a gruesome lunar run-in with alien life forms. Nor are we certain a government statement will have any effect on conspiracy-minded kooks other than to make them think, “See, man, I told you — they’re hiding something!” “Apollo 18,” for its part, certainly is hiding something. The Weinstein Company is following the “Paranormal Activity” playbook, doling out only pieces of information about the “found-footage” film and hoping moviegoers shell out cash this weekend to find out the full story. We’ve gathered all those pieces together so you’ll know everything there is to know about “Apollo 18” before hitting the theater. Word of the project first popped up last fall. “Wanted” director Timur Bekmambetov was spearheading the effort, a story that would take the existing urban legend about Apollo 18 and inject some alien scares into it. A press release declared that Bekmambetov had been hired to shoot a documentary about the Russian space station and came across never-before-seen footage of the space disaster in Russia’s archives. Trevor Cawood, a visual-effects vet from the “Matrix” films, came onboard to direct, but he was quickly replaced by Spanish filmmaker Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego. The new director, in turn, was soon joined by a teaser poster : an astronaut’s boot print next to an alien creature’s print and the tagline looming above: “There’s a reason we’ve never gone back to the moon.” The trailer touched down on the Web in February. And we were immediately freaked out. What was up with the dusty, cracked space helmet? And that gnarly looking infection? And the zombie-looking dude? Questions — many, many gross questions. But we started to piece some of them together. NASA and the Department of Defense sent two astronauts to the moon on a secret mission in 1972. They discovered some non-American footprints. Had the Russians been there too? Hmmm. One of the NASA astronauts was bitten by some kind of alien creature, leading to a psychotic breakdown. Damnnnnn. Thus began the cover-up. Or the conspiracy theories. Heck, even NASA might have seen something coming, as an agency-commissioned study , called the Brookings Report, seems to predict the “discovery of artifacts from alien life forms on the surfaces of the Moon, Mars or Venus.” Spooky! All shall be revealed Friday (September 2), when “Apollo 18” hit theaters. Before then, we’ve got one last piece of video to bring you — and freak you the eff out. It’s got a terrified Russian astronaut, shaky footage of the lunar landscape and, well, we’re not exactly sure what happens at the end. But we’re pretty sure things didn’t end well for the spaceman. Check out everything we’ve got on “Apollo 18.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
MTV airs the Video Music Awards tonight at 8 p.m. EST. But Adam Levine won’t be tuning in. The Maroon 5 frontman and judge on The Voice let his feelings be known about the network in a Tweet last night, writing: “The VMAs [are the] one day a year when MTV pretends to still care about music. I’m drawing a line in the sand. F–k you, VMAs.” Adam Levine is going after MTV and American Idol these days. Who will be next?!? The singer and his band won a VMA trophy in 2004, but they are not nominated in any category this year. Levine may not be tuning in to watch Lady Gaga open the ceremony tonight, but THG will be! Return to the site throughout the day tomorrow for constant video and fashion updates from the event. [Photo: WENN.com]
In news from the Perhaps-You’re-Taking-This-A-Bit-Seriously department, Shelly Moore’s family and co-workers are receiving death threats after her surprising vote to evict Jeff Schroeder from the Big Brother house last week. It was kind of a d!ck move, sure. But chill out people. Shelly could have given fan favorite Jeff, with whom she was allied all summer (or so he thought), a 3-1 victory in Thursday’s double eviction episode . More tearfully and surprisingly voted to keep Rachel Reilly, however, leading to Kalia Booker’s tie-breaking vote to oust Jeff, perhaps the strongest player left. Shelly’s family and co-workers have received threats from deranged fans since. There have been “multiple,” serious calls threatening violence, reports say. The reality star’s family has gotten phone calls from people threatening harm – including making threats against Shelly’s 8-year-old daughter Josie. Shelly’s workplace has also received harassing phone calls demanding Moore be fired immediately because of the way she voted on the show. The Moores say they are even preparing to get the FBI involved because they’re taking the threats – both upsetting and frequently – very seriously. Jeff is kind of the man, bit this is a show whose premise is evicting people, often through underhanded means. Woman’s just trying to win. Geez. Big Brother returns tonight on CBS. Shelly is still there along with five other cast members vying for the $500,000 prize. Who do you think will win?
Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva have resolved their issues. The custody battle and legal drama that has made headlines for two years appears to be kaput after they officially reached a financial and child custody agreement, ending the staggering fallout from one of the all-time worst celebrity breakups . Gibson’s spokesman Alan Nierob tells E! News , “I can confirm the parties have settled the matter and we appreciate all the judge’s help.” L.A. County Superior Court released a statement Friday reading: “As a result of a multiday settlement conference, the court announces that Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva have achieved a settlement in their ongoing dispute.” Terms and conditions of the settlement were not announced. Mel and Oksana are due back in court next week to discuss financial arrangements as well as the issue of custody of 1-year-old daughter Lucia. Back in March, the actor pleaded no contest to battery against the Russian musician in a deal that allowed him to avoid jail time in the case. Grigorieva went to police six months after the Malibu incident in which she said the actor punched her, and that he threatened her and Lucia. Subsequently, the Mel Gibson tapes surfaced, featuring now-infamous rants in which he said she “deserved” the assault and he’d “bury” her. The settlement will hopefully put this to bed for good.
