Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Cover: ‘American Chopper’ Star Weighs In

Paul Teutul Jr. tells MTV News he’s puzzled by Gaga’s motorcycle makeover. By James Montgomery Lady Gaga Photo: Noel Vasquez/ Getty Images When Lady Gaga unveiled the cover art for her much-anticipated Born This Way album over the weekend, even the most manic of Little Monsters seemed perplexed by her brand-new motorcycle makeover … with some even going so far as to speculate that the cover was fake . And if you think Gaga’s fans are confused by the BTW cover, well, then you should hear Paul Teutul Jr.’s take on it. After all, he designs motorcycles for a living, first under his dad’s tutelage at Orange County Choppers — made famous on Discovery Channel’s “American Choppers” — and now with his own shop, Paul Jr. Designs . Turns out Junior’s sort of at a loss when it comes to Gaga’s new look. “This chopper is very, kind of, uh, interesting. They kind of melted the motor around and stuff so it’s hard to even see what they have … they almost did a ribcage, kinda see-through in the tank. But none of it feels really smooth,” he told MTV News. “The bike that it emulates the most is that ‘Easy Rider’ bike … it has that king and queen seat, it’s got the old-school exhaust, but I can’t really tell what kind of bike it is.” Of course, aside from the assumed technical issues, Teutul Jr. said that he’s most puzzled that the Born This Way album cover didn’t go even further. Because, as he put it, what could be cooler than a full-fledged Gaga-cycle? “Looking at it, I would’ve made it more of an integration of her into the bike. It would be more seamless. In other words, it would be her and the bike morphed,” he said. “If you’re Born This Way, then it almost has to look kind of mermaid-ish, in the sense that there’s this fusion between the actual mechanical aspect and the human perspective. … It’s a little cut-and-paste looking. I would’ve done something even integrated throughout the bike that would’ve been more ‘Lady Gaga.’ “How awesome would it have been if her entire body, like, her feet actually became the axle rod for the rear tire, and her body actually formed the entire bike? I mean, it could’ve been a more flowing, freakier look,” he continued. “And that’s what we do at Paul Jr. Designs. Our full integration isn’t ‘put a sticker on it.’ Our full integration is we make that bike what the theme is intended to be. It’s about pulling off the theme front-to-back.” And to that end, Teutul Jr. said that he’d love to work with Gaga on an actual motorcycle &#8212 it’d probably make for an interesting episode of his show, “American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior,” which returns April 25 &#8212 because it would give him and his team a chance to do what they do best. “I would get inside her head on the whole project, and really be able to pull off what it is, creatively, that she would want integrated into the bike,” he said. “And for this tour, she could come out onstage and it could be a whole theatrical thing that ties around the actual album cover. I think it would be a great fit and we’re both young and creative. It would be a great collaboration for sure.” What do you think of the Born This Way cover art? Tell us in the comments!

‘Scream 4’ Stars Pick Their Favorite Death Scenes

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘What freaks me out the most with all the deaths is the sound effects,’ Emma Roberts tells MTV News. By Kara Warner Courteney Cox in “Scream 4” Photo: Gemma La Mana/ Dimension Films For those of you who didn’t make it to the theater over the weekend to see “Scream 4,” stop reading now — we don’t want to spoil anything! For everyone else, MTV News thought it would be fun to find out the cast’s favorite death scenes in the new slasher pic, along with some technical insight from director Wes Craven. And because there are so many gruesome offings from which to choose, the results of our little poll are all over the map, despite some persuasive campaigning by Anthony Anderson. “I think the one that freaked me out the most, her name is Marielle in real life — Marielle’s death,” Emma Roberts said, choosing the bloody demise of Marielle Jaffe’s character, Olivia Morris. “It’s one of the first, and she’s the popular girl, but she gets massacred. Totally just done. “That, to me, was the freakiest, because she’s running around her room, and they keep stabbing her and stabbing her,” she added. “I guess what freaks me out the most with all the deaths is the sound effects. When you’re doing it, it’s like a retractable knife and there’s fake blood squirting out, but when you have that sound effect, it totally adds another level of horror to the scene.” Adam Brody’s favorite death involved the special cameos from Kristen Bell and Anna Paquin. “I thought that was one of the more surprising ones,” he said, before pointing to his co-star Anthony Anderson. “And then he’s got a fantastic, dragged-out [scene].” “Yeah, I’m going to say the black guy’s death in this movie is great,” Anderson joked. “I’m not going to say who it is, though, but the black guy’s death in this movie. NAACP Image Award contention. We’re going to go beyond Oscar and Emmy and Golden Globe; we’re going to go straight to the Image Awards.” When asked how many takes it took to get that one just right, Brody and Anderson joked that there was a lot of work to it. “I think they really worked that scene,” Anderson said. “They shot that from all kinds of angles.” “[There were] 30 cameras,” Brody added. “Yeah, 30 cameras,” Anderson agreed, continuing the joke. “And some of it was the super slo-mo stuff, so yeah, the black guy.” Interestingly enough, when we mentioned Anderson’s epic death scene to Craven, he revealed that the drawn-out aspect wasn’t originally in the script but inspired by a real-life medical emergency. “That wasn’t in the script,” Craven said. “I did it without announcing it to the studio. I was hoping that they didn’t fire me the next day,” he recalled with a chuckle. “It was written that the killer just comes in and pins him to the seat,” Craven explained. “I had seen this thing on television, this documentary about somebody being stabbed right through the head and they actually showed the X-ray … and the guy walked into the emergency room, so I thought it would be extraordinary if somebody was stabbed in the head and still be alive for a while.” The fact that Anderson was campaigning for his death scene to be named the best won over co-star David Arquette. “I do love a good Anthony Anderson death scene,” he laughed. “He was a little zombie-like. There was a moment of ‘Night of the Living Dead’ [in there].” Check out everything we’ve got on “Scream 4.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

‘Scream 4’ Stars Were ‘Paranoid’ About Keeping Script Secret

Posted on April 13, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I had to read it at [director] Wes Craven’s house,’ Emma Roberts recalls of her first look. By Kara Warner Courteney Cox in “Scream 4” Photo: Gemma La Mana/ Dimension Films With all the secretiveness surrounding the plot details of the “Scream” movies, it’s natural to assume that the general public goes into the films with as little knowledge as the studio can prevent them from acquiring. (Even journalists are asked to refrain from reviewing or commenting on the film until it opens.) But what about the actors? How much are they privy to when they sign on? MTV News recently caught up with the “Scream 4” cast to find out first, why we should believe their characters are not the killer and second, how much of the script they get to read before they sign on. “[I got] the middle bit, the middle section,” Hayden Panettiere told us. “I was in Germany and [the filmmakers] had somebody fly to Germany, meet me at home to watch me read the middle part of the script, so there was no beginning, no end, subject to change,” she explained. “There’s just something very funny about somebody sitting there watching you read it to make sure you don’t sneak pictures or go sending it anywhere. You feel like your life may be in jeopardy if, God forbid, anything got out.” “When I first read the script, I had to read it at [director] Wes Craven’s house,” Emma Roberts revealed. “So I couldn’t even have it sent to my house. When we got our scripts on set, they all had our names on them and I remember I was getting out of my car to go to work one day and I dropped my script and, literally, the pages were everywhere and I was in this parking lot chasing after all of my pages and, of course, the last few pages were floating away from me,” she recalled. “I grabbed them and brought them to my trailer, [thinking], ‘OK, I don’t know what to do with all this paper, I’m so nervous to be carrying this around.’ ” Franchise veteran David Arquette wasn’t able to pull rank for extra information either. “I didn’t receive a full script, no,” Arquette said. “It’s always been a whirlwind when these films get going. You never really know what’s happening, what’s going to happen, and also how it works in the films … when I go see these movies, there’s a lot of, ‘Oh, they kept that? Wow, that worked. Oooh, scary.’ ” Jokesters Adam Brody and Anthony Anderson, who play buddy cops Hoff and Perkins in the film, claimed that they still don’t know anything about the film. “I’m still getting pages now,” Anderson said. “I got the whole thing, and then they took it back and then gave me another one,” Brody bragged. “For as secret as it was — and I was really paranoid that I had it in my hotel room or backpack forever — it says your name on it and I thought, ‘I’m going to blow this whole thing,’ so surprisingly they gave it to me and let me keep it and I didn’t want it,” he said. “Honestly, I don’t think they gave us the actual script,” Anderson continued. “I think they gave us some type of story with our name on it, to scare us,” he claimed. “Because every time I got to work, the lines that were in the script that I had studied the night before were not the lines we were doing that day at work.” Do you plan to see “Scream 4”?

Phil Collins Health Problems

“I don#39;t really belong to that world and I don#39;t think anyone#39;s going to miss me,” Phil Collins, 60, tells FHM, according to Time magazine. I#39;m much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.” Phil Collins, who lives in Switzerland, adds: “I#39;m sorry that it was all so successful. I honestly didn#39;t mean it to happen like that. It#39;s hardly surprising that people grew to hate me.” His back hurts from a dislocated vertebra. He#39;s lost some of his hearing. Nerve

Quentin Tarantino’s Spaghetti Western: What We Know So Far

Posted on March 1, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Details are beginning to fall in place for director’s ‘Inglourious Basterds’ follow-up. By Eric Ditzian Quentin Tarantino Photo: Charles Eshelman/ FilmMagic For years, Quentin Tarantino has been talking about the kooky idea of making a spaghetti western-esque film that explores American slavery. Now multiple reports suggest he might be moving forward with a project in a similar vein. Nothing’s confirmed yet, of course, but all this chatter does seem to indicate that Tarantino’s next production following the Oscar-winning, $300 million-grossing success of 2009’s “Inglourious Basterds” will, in fact, be a spaghetti western. There have been, until now, numerous projects the filmmaker was said to be considering , though he has long stated a desire to explore the western genre. “I’ve been wanting to do that for a long time,” Tarantino told us late in ’09 of the slavery pic. “That’s definitely in the garden, for lack of a better metaphor. That is definitely one of my roses.” So what do we know so far? Back in 2007, Tarantino spoke at length to Britain’s Telegraph about that project, calling it the Southern equivalent of a western. “I want to do movies that deal with America’s horrible past with slavery and stuff but do them like spaghetti westerns, not like big issue movies,” he said. “I want to do them like they’re genre films, but they deal with everything that America has never dealt with because it’s ashamed of it, and other countries don’t really deal with because they don’t feel they have the right to.” Tarantino, instead, chose to explore an alt-history take on World War II with “Basterds.” When MTV News caught up with him late last year, he confessed that he still hadn’t committed to his next project, though he did say that rumors of taking on an adaptation of “The Shadow” were untrue. Only in recent days has talk of a spaghetti western, devoid of a connection to slavery, picked up steam. Deadline reported that Tarantino said he has completed the script for the new movie and that the writing, unlike his work on “Basterds” and “Kill Bill,” came together quite quickly. Meanwhile, the actor Franco Nero gave an Italian-language interview at the Los Angeles Italia festival in which he said that talent has already been coalescing around the project, including himself, Keith Carradine and Treat Williams. “It’s a movie that contains humor, lots of action, but also a great plot,” Nero said. Ain’t It Cool News picked up on the news and added some intriguing details — most intriguingly that Christoph Waltz, who won an Oscar for his turn as a cold-blooded Nazi in “Basterds,” would also star in the flick. According to AICN, the script is not based on any existing material but is an original script and will potentially begin production in Spain and Italy later this year.

‘Iron Man 3’ To Be Directed By Shane Black?

Posted on February 10, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Lethal Weapon’ scribe is reportedly ‘in contention’ to helm the movie. By Eric Ditzian “Iron Man” Photo: Paramount Six years after making his directorial debut with the noirish dark comedy “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,” Shane Black might be reteaming with Robert Downey Jr. for the actor’s third Marvel superhero adventure. According to The Hollywood Reporter , Black is “in contention” to direct “Iron Man 3.” What’s more, he’d likely get a crack at penning a draft of the script too. Black is far from a lock to take over franchise directing duties from Jon Favreau though, and other filmmakers are being eyed as well. MTV News’ requests for comment to Disney and Black’s rep were not returned as of press time. While the possibility of Black taking on one of Marvel’s most valuable franchises is surprising — he has only one directing credit on his r

Report: Kate Gosselin Has No Friends

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Report: Kate Gosselin Has No Friends

Despite having multiple reality shows and eight cute kids, Kate Gosselin, is a sad and lonely individual with no friends, according to a new report. Yup, we can totally see that. A source close to the celeb mom says that despite what she wants you to think, “The truth is Kate is very sad and lonely with few true friends.” ALL BY HERSELF : That’s Kate these days. [Photo: Pacific Coast News] When she’s not watching over her kids or filming Kate Plus 8 , the perfectionist is seen wasting money on tanning , getting her nails done or visiting NYC salons. Moreover, she has a dedicated routine routine of grueling jogs to relieve stress and keep herself in tip-top condition, but even that’s coming at a heavy price. “Even her kids have noticed that their mom is sometimes too tired to play with them when the cameras are not rolling,” the Gosselin family source said. Her only confidant? Steve Neild . “Her bodyguard, Steve Neild is the closest person to her, but he’s married with two kids of his own,” the source said . “Steve lives in the basement of her home and accompanies Kate everywhere, but they deny there is anything going on.” They always have, and they’re likely isn’t anything romantic, but regardless, Neild is about all she’s got when it comes to adult, personal relationships. “Apart from Steve she does not have many friends to confide in or just go out with … she does not have the best relationship with her family either.” Even locals in the neighborhood have become judgmental. “She is not popular at the local stores, post office or car wash … she cannot win people over and comes across as cold and aloof,” the source said. Pretty much. Jon Gosselin knows it all too well. “Kate finds it hard to be friendly towards people and is very domineering – she is pre-occupied with looking her best and keeping-up appearances.” It’s true, she does her best to make it seem like she’s got the family thing under control. Sadly, making the kids eat rotten food doesn’t qualify.

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Tiger Woods Scandal: Reenacted on Law & Order!

The Tiger Woods scandal is getting the Law & Order treatment. It’s embellished and technically fiction, but NBC clearly stole this script from Woods. Its promo for Law & Order: L.A. even boasts “yeah, we’re going there.” A golf superstar, a harem of mistresses, a club-wielding scorned wife who “rescued” him, a 911 call … bring back memories of the Tiger- Elin Woods fight ? Check it out the episode promo here (at the 30-second mark) … Law & Order: Tiger Woods Of course, the similarities end when a female golf pro gets whacked. As far as we know, Tiger never tried to off Rachel Uchitel & Co. Just pay them off.
