Tom Cruise Reflects On ‘M:I’ At ‘Ghost Protocol’ Debut

Actor also gives MTV News a Les Grossman update at Dubai premiere. By Kevin P. Sullivan, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Tom Cruise at the Dubai premiere of “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” Photo: MTV News After four “Mission: Impossible” films, Tom Cruise has seen his fair share of action sequences as special agent Ethan Hunt. So many of the series’ famous set pieces come to mind almost instantly: infiltrating Langley in “Mission: Impossible,” climbing a rock face freestyle in “M:I 2” and now the stunt outside Dubai’s Khalifa Tower in “Ghost Protocol.” When MTV News’ Josh Horowitz caught up with Cruise at the latest film’s premiere in Dubai, he asked the actor which famous action sequences he looks back on with the most fondness. “It’s hard to say, because each one has been so different, and each had different kinds of challenges,” Cruise said. But few will deny that the iconic rappel into the heart of CIA headquarters is the series’ defining moment. Cruise recalled the challenges he had filming that scene. He credits director Brian De Palma for the scene’s success. “I remember when I was doing it, my head kept hitting the floor. … I was running out of energy, and we were running out of time,” Cruise said. De Palma said if they didn’t get the stunt on the next take he would be forced to pull it off with tricky editing. “To one of the stunt guys, I said, ‘Give me your pound coins out of your pocket,’ ” Cruise said. “I put the pound coins in my shoes, the tips, so that’s what allowed me to be able to balance and keep off the floor for that whole shot. That kept my face from hitting the floor.” That wasn’t the end of it, though. Cruise needed to maintain that position for the rest of the take. “De Palma knew that we had the shot, and he just held it and held it. I was like, ‘How long can I hold off the floor?’ Brian had a fantastic laugh, and then he said, ‘All right, cut.’ ” One of the projects Cruise has been attached to for a while is the long-gestating “Tropic Thunder” spin-off for his scene-stealing character Les Grossman . There have been no signs of progress toward production, so Cruise updated us on its status. “It’s not where we all want it to be,” Cruise said, suggesting that Internet shorts may be the way to go. “[Les Grossman] is so much fun to do. There are all different kinds of things we’re thinking about.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

A Lil Penitentiary ChitChatter: Ja Rule Talks About Thuggin’ It Up Real Tough On His First Night In Prison To Set Them Fools Straight… SMH

For somebody who used to stay growling “It’s Murdaaaaaaaaaaaa” this guy sure has changed his tune. Ja Rule just penned a letter from jail about his first night in prison and sent it to Allhiphop.com . Check it out: My first night here was crazy inmates screaming, banging, and kicking the doors calling the male CO’s b***h a** n***as f***ots telling the female CO’s how they gonna f**k em, throwing plates of food out their cells onto the floor LOL. WELCOME TO THE GREEN MONSTER! This type of shit would never happen upstate at best you’d be in the box for a month at worst the infirmary. I even got into it wit these stupid n***as trying to assassinate my character talkin about I’m snitching to the guards and that I’m getting special treatment. I barked on these n***as and set em straight cause as a man there’s only so much you can take before you snap. At first I tried to ignore there lil comments until they started talkin sh*t like they gonna kick my door and all this clown sh*t. But the funny thing is when I started screaming on them lettin them know they got the wrong n***a they got excited it was like that’s what they wanted to bring the hood out of me. That’s when I realized that I’m dealing wit kids they can’t be n***as my age cause that would’ve lead to instant confrontation not instant admiration. After I set em straight they wanted to talk ask me about the industry I could tell they wanted to be my friend but just didn’t know how to go about it. So I chatted wit them for a lil bit before letting them know I was tried and ready to lay down. But as I layed I listened to them talk telling there life stories of how one was born in a crack house and grew up selling crack to his mother and how another watched his father get murdered rite in front of him by some dudes he owed money as they robbed his house and how they were now in jail for crimes of their own one for beating his girl friend the other for a murder. One of them them is 19 the other just turned 23 yesterday. Both with kids of their own. When will we break the cycle? WILLIE LYNCH LIVES ON… DAMN! When I got here I was happy to see some officers of the same skin color not that I’m racist or anything but in this type of situation and where I just came from you’d be happy to see some of your own too. Prejudice does still exist trust me I’ve been treated and seen it people treated like n***ers more in 1 month that I have my whole life I feel like a slave and even tho I haven’t heard anyone say it actions speak louder than words. As I walk through the door everyone staring like they can’t believe I just walked in cuffed from head to toe. Even tho I don’t feel like much of a star that’s all they see the star that has fallen. But as I look in their eyes I still see the love they still wanna meet me and greet me as if I’m on their own personal stage except there’s no screaming fans, fancy clothes & bright lights. Only screaming inmates me in my orange jumpsuit and little flash lights they shine in my cell at night. It’s hard to feel good signing autographs and taking pictures in this predicament but I did it with a smile cause I love my fans and never say no, nomatter what mood I’m in after the meet & greet they took me to my cell where I’ll be housed till my court date it’s not the best but it’s not the worst either they gave me some pillows and an extra mattress so I’ll live. This is my 3rd here and IA already came and got me to investigate my lil meet & greet. I basically told them to f**k off and that those are good cops cause they really were nice to me last thing I wanna see is good people get in trouble cause they got an autograph or a pic from me. You wanna investigate something investigate the crooked Hip Hop Task Force that got me into this s**t in the first place. As I sit in my cell listening to their stories I think about me and my Dad and how I hated to love him for so many years and how I vowed to be nothing like him only to have my mother say “your just like your father” LOL. Which made me curious to know him and of course just as we start to get closer to one another he dies. But I have my closure I learned alot about him and him about me in the short time we spent together. Which makes me think about my kids and how I’m raising them I am a great father and I have broken the cycle even though I’m in prison the foundation has already been layed. I hate being away from them for 20 months but s**t could just as easily been on tour for that long. I feel compelled I wanna help other kids break the cycle. I’ve been to 5 different prisons and all I see is n***as and I ain’t talking about black people I’m talking about ignorance. See the problem wit most people is they don’t smell s**t until they step in it and by that time it’s all over your shoe and everybody is tryin to get away from you. Now you have 2 choices you can either wash that shoe or throw it away. A lot of people choose to throw it away meaning they didn’t learn s**t but those that choose to wash that shoe tend to watch their step knowing how hard it was to get em clean. I think I’ll wash my shoes this time cause this s**t ain’t me. R.I.P William Jeffrey Atkins BREAK THE CYCLE! Well at least it sounds as if he’s learning something in there. We see this guy is taking a note out of T.I. and Weezy’s pen-playbooks. Do y’all care about Jeffrey Atkin’s penitentiary life??? More On Bossip! RihRih Gets Kushed Up And Goes Drizzy H.A.M.

Marcel The Shell With Shoes On, Two

“I Don’t Do Water. I’m A Black Girl, I Don’t Swim!”, “The TO Show” [RECAP]

The rest is here:

Keeping up with the vacation theme this week, on “The T.O Show”, Terrell (or should I say Milk Dud) and his two sidekicks go on cruise to the Bahamas along with their significant others (minus Terrell’s). As excited as they are to be going on vacation, one thing Kita doesn’t do is water! “I don’t do water. I’m a black girl, I don’t swim, I don’t want to get my hair wet. I should have known,” Kita says as they arrive to the ship. Once everyone gets on board, Kita refuses to take off her life vest, even though the boat hasn’t even left the dock yet! Her boyfriend Joe, being the supportive and loving man that he is, wears his life vest too so Kita doesn’t look silly by herself, “We’re in this together,” he says (awww). Later on, everyone hits the beach and T.O’s choice of swim trunks is rather, interesting! They’re like a mix between boy shorts and booty shorts. Terrell calls them “Euro” but Kita call them a “no-no”. After playing a little beach football, the crew takes a trip to go swim with the dolphins. “I don’t know why I didn’t realize that swimming with dolphins meant I actually had to get in the water with them” Kita explained as she pulled out her plastic Target shopping bag to protect her hair from any moisture. Hey, desperate times call for desperate measures, okay! *high five* Kita didn’t have time to secure her “swim cap” before T.O pushed her in the water and her life flashed before her eyes! After she realized she was still alive, they all had a great afternoon swimming and playing with the dolphins! (so cute!) Later that evening, everyone headed to dinner to celebrate Princess Kita’s birthday. That’s just how she was treated too, like a princess, as Joe pulled out a beautiful shoe and placed it on her foot like Cinderella. After giving her the shoes and roses, he got down on one knee and… yup you guessed it… he proposed!! The ring was BEAUTIFUL and Kita couldn’t stop crying as he expressed his love for her and asked her to marry him. Mo and Terrell were beyond shocked as Terrell fell out his chair from the surprise and couldn’t stop throwing back drinks at the table. Could it be that Terrell is finally realizing that he should be the one Kita will marry instead of Joe? Something to think about! But back to that Target swim cap, Kita you’re killing me!! LOL What did you think about this episode? Mo & Kita Of The “T.O. Show”: “Evelyn Is Like A Walking Yeast Infection” [VIDEO] T.O: “A Rack Of Weave Coming At Me Is Not A Pretty Sight”, “The T.O Show” [RECAP] Kita Makes An Appearance With Her Battery-Operated Boyfriend On “The T.O Show” The Best Moments From Last Night’s “The T.O Show” [RECAP]

Jesus Take The Wheel: Milwaukee Woman Fakes Pregnancy, Attacks A Real Pregnant Woman With Baseball Bat, Cuts Out Her Fetus With Razor

Trust us this is as sick and twisted as it sounds… A woman who faked a pregnancy and panicked as her supposed due date grew near attacked a pregnant mother with a baseball bat and cut her full-term fetus from her womb with an Exacto knife, killing the mother and baby, according to court documents filed Monday. Annette Morales-Rodriguez, 33, faces one count each of first-degree intentional homicide while armed and first-degree intentional homicide of an unborn child while armed in the death of Maritza Ramirez-Cruz and the boy she was set to deliver next week. Morales-Rodriguez faces mandatory life in prison if convicted. Pregnant mom, unborn baby killed in ‘fetal abduction’ Morales-Rodriguez made a brief court appearance Monday, standing silent as her bail was set at $1 million. Online court records didn’t list an attorney for her, and the Milwaukee public defender’s office voicemail wouldn’t accept messages Monday afternoon. “I don’t know what she had in her mind,” said Maria Garcia, 44, who lives next to Morales-Rodriguez and described her as her best friend. According to the criminal complaint, Morales-Rodriguez told detectives that her boyfriend wanted a son but she couldn’t get pregnant. She told him she was pregnant anyway, but started to grow desperate as what would be her due date approached. She told investigators she planned for two weeks to find a pregnant woman, take the baby and make it hers, the complaint said. Now if that plan sounds FAWKING ridiculous wait until you read how she actually carried it out…SMH Morales-Rodriguez drove around on Wednesday searching for a pregnant woman, but found none, authorities said. On Thursday she drove around a nonprofit organization that provides Hispanics with health care and found Ramirez-Cruz. The 23-year-old had moved from Puerto Rico to join her childhood sweetheart, Christian Mercado, said Mercado’s father, Carlos Mercado. They already had three children together and Ramirez-Cruz was carrying their fourth. Morales-Rodriguez told detectives she thought about telling her boyfriend the truth, but decided against it and offered Ramirez-Cruz a ride. Telling Ramirez-Cruz she needed to change her shoes, she drove them to her weathered two-story house on Milwaukee’s south side. Ramirez-Cruz went inside to use the bathroom. When she emerged, Morales-Rodriguez was waiting for her with a baseball bat. The complaint said Morales-Rodriguez began to bludgeon her. Ramirez-Cruz fell to the ground. Morales-Rodriguez straddled the younger woman and choked her until she passed out, the complaint said. See, we told you. If there was ever a case where someone deserved the death penalty with no trial, it’s this one. Source

Lauren Conrad Dishes on Fashion Line, Tips

Lauren Conrad, whose fashion line for Kohl’s and her own Paper Crown line are both going strong these days, says the trick to designing great clothes is to do so selfishly. Her motto for creating each season’s signature look? “You know what you’d want to buy – design it,” she tells People . There’s a continuity in each season for each line that comes from the former Hills star’s very own vision. “The look is soft, romantic, pretty,” she explains. And the 25-year-old says she’s also figured out that style isn’t just about looking good. “Dress in what makes you feel good about yourself too,” she says. The California girl isn’t only involved in fashion these days; she just finished up her stint as a guest writer for Forbes and recently announced plans to launch a beauty line based on her popular new website, TheBeautyDepartment (dot) com. She’s also reportedly dating Derek Hough ! Way to go LC!

Martha Stewart: Slammed by Daughter in New Book

She claims to be the perfect homemaker, but a new book calls into question Martha Stewart as a perfect mother. And the author of this book? Martha’s daughter, Alexis. The 46-year old slams her famous parent in “Whateverland: Learning to Live Here,” writing of her childhood: “If I didn’t do something perfectly, I had to do it again. I grew up with a glue gun pointed at my head.” Labeling the domestic television goddess as “not interesting in being kid-friendly,” Alexis goes into detail about Martha’s Christmas present philosophy (“”She used to make me wrap my own presents…”) and hypocritical shoe removal demands. “My mother has a sign on all of her doors to take your shoes off,” Alexis writes. “For god’s sake! My mother’s dogs p–s and s–t on her rugs and she’s telling people to take their shoes off?” Alexis also crosses the TMI line with this entry: “[She] always peed with the door open. I remember saying, ‘You know, now I have friends over! You can’t do that anymore! It’s gotta stop! My friends’ parents don’t do it! Give me a break here! I don’t feel like being embarrassed! It’s exhausting! I’m a kid! Stop!'” Still, despite this randomly published complaints, Alexis actually dedicates the memoir to her mother and says there are no hard feelings. Martha apparently agrees, saying of her child: “She’s her own person. She makes up her own mind.”

Where Will Bruno Mars’ ‘Rain’ Fall In ‘Breaking Dawn’?

MTV News takes a closer listen to ‘It Will Rain’ for lyrical clues about its placement in the film. By Jocelyn Vena and Amy Wilkinson Bruno Mars Photo: Jemal Countess/Getty Images On Tuesday (September 27), Bruno Mars dropped the sweeping, heartbreaking “It Will Rain,” the lead single from the “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” soundtrack , which drops November 8. The Smeezingtons-produced song is all about the pain someone feels when they are deeply in love. On it, Mars croons tortured lines like “There’s no religion that could save me/ No matter how long my knees are on the floor/ So keep in mind all the sacrifices I’m making/ To keep you by my side/ And keep you from walking out the door.” While Twilighters will have to wait until November 18 to find out where the song will be featured in the flick, there are several lyrical cues that offer hints. Hit play on the embedded video as we talk through the song, then read on for a deeper exploration. The Wedding Of course it won’t appear in the actual wedding scene, like when Bella walks down the aisle, but lines like “I’ll never be your mother’s favorite/ Your daddy can’t even look me in the eye/ If I was in their shoes I’d be doing the same/ Say, ‘There goes my little girl/ Walking with that troublesome guy’ ” certainly mirror Charlie’s feelings about the nuptials. Jacob’s Goodbye When Mars sings, “Don’t you say goodbye/ Don’t you say goodbye/ I’ll pick up these broken pieces till I’m bleeding/ If that’ll make it right,” it seems to mimic the heartbreak Jacob feels as he sees Bella marry another man and says goodbye to her once more. The Honeymoon Sure, the song is about heartbreak and pain, but the sexy, sultry nature of the track could make for the right kind of mood-setter as Bella and Edward finally get it on. The Pregnancy As Mars cries, ” ‘Cause there’ll be no sunlight/If I lose you, baby/ There’ll be no clear skies/ If I lose you, baby/ And just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same/ If you walk away, every day it’ll rain,” it mirrors Edward’s angst as he thinks he might lose Bella if she has their child, a vampire/human hybrid. Where do you think Bruno’s song would fit? Share your ideas in the comments!
