Chris Brown And Tyga Premiere Two Fan Of A Fan Videos

New clips are for ‘Deuces’ and the Brown solo effort ‘No Bullsh–.’ By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Shaheem Reid Tyga Photo: MTV News Chris Brown and Tyga premiered a pair of videos from their Fan of a Fan mixtape Monday (May 24), the collaboration “Deuces” and the Brown solo effort “No Bullsh–.” Both clips were directed by Colin Tilley, an up-and-coming filmmaker based in Los Angeles who has worked with Tyga in the past. “Deuces” is among the standout tracks from the collection, which was released for free online last week . “All that bullsh– is for the birds, you ain’t nothing but a vulture,” Brown sings on “Deuces.” “Always hoping for the worst, waiting for me to f— up/ You’ll regret the day when I find another girl, that knows just what I need/ She knows just what I mean, when I tell her, ‘Keep it drama-free.’ ” The black-and-white video features Tyga and Kevin McCall, the song’s producer, also billed as K-Mack, rapping on the track. “Basically it’s about you getting rid of this girl, you tried to make it work, but you got to move on,” Tyga told MTV News about “Deuces.” “So you put up one finger, put up another, and then ‘Deuces.’ ” In the straightforward clip, Brown is seen energetically dancing alone and later, in scenes with Tyga and K-Mack, posing for the camera. Brown and Tyga performed “Deuces” earlier this month at the singer’s Virginia Stand Up! charity concert , which benefited his local community and aid to Haiti. “No Bullsh–,” the third video overall from the mixtape project, is a much steamier affair featuring Brown by himself. The “Forever” star is seen wooing and romancing his leading lady in the clip. Before the videos were posted, Tyga told MTV News he couldn’t support Brown on set for his solo endeavor. “No, no, I can’t be in that video,” Tyga said, laughing. “That’s like a dude being in ‘I Invented Sex’ with Trey Songz. What are you gonna do?” What do you think about the new videos? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Chris Brown Tyga

Taio Cruz Sexts With Ke$ha In ‘Dirty Picture’ Video

The clip ends with the two together at a sexy house party. By Jocelyn Vena Taio Cruz Photo: MTV News Taio Cruz ‘s new clip for his track “Dirty Picture,” which on Monday (May 24), opens with the singer speeding through the desert alone. Before long Cruz is at a house party where everyone is drinking and sending pretty PG-rated dirty texts, a fitting idea considering the song is all about sexting. All Cruz wants his lady friend to do is “take a dirty picture.” While Cruz is grinding up against some of the female revelers at the bash, enter Ke$ha , all dolled up, hanging out in the ladies’ room responding to Cruz’s call to arms, asking that her man do the same. Then we’re back in the desert with Cruz, who’s thinking about his woman again. And once again we’re back at the party, and it seems that there’s not one person who isn’t getting into the sexting action, kissing, touching and bumping and grinding as the flashes flash. Ke$ha’s role in the video is limited; eventually she and Cruz are hanging out while elsewhere ladies are getting alcohol poured all over them. The video ends with Cruz and Ke$ha canoodling, telling their loved ones to “click, click, snap” that dirty picture their way. Cruz recently talked to MTV News about working with Ke$ha on the track, noting that Lady Gaga was his initial choice. But Ke$ha won him over after producer Dr. Luke told him all about her. “She looked really sexy, and I just thought she was talented. Her voice was awesome,” he said. “It had this — I hope she won’t mind me saying this, but her voice has this kind of yodely quality to it, the way that she does things and the way that she ends words. I just loved that quality about it.” Related Artists Taio Cruz Ke$ha

Rima Fakih Defends Pole Dancing Pics

Newly-crowned and newly-embattled Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih maintained her stripper pole dancing innocence Thursday in an interview on Fox & Friends . “Have you ever done those pole dancing classes?” she asked the hosts. “That’s what it was. My friend, a DJ at the station said, ‘Why don’t you get up there?'” Rima Fakih, 24, became the first Muslim-American and second Arab-American to win the Miss USA crown Sunday, besting 49 beauties from across the U.S. of A. Some have said that she is basically the politically correct Miss USA, as she didn’t deserve to win on merit, but no matter. We’re talking about stripper pole pics. Less than 24 hours after she won, photos were released of Rima Fakih grinding during a “Stripper 101” contest for the Detroit radio show “Mojo In The Morning.” Rima Fakih says her stripper pole pics were not a big deal . “A few pics were snapped, and, of course, they don’t look the best angle as I normally [do],” she said of the photos, in which she wears a tank top, shorts and heels. Although she did not remove any clothes, she was declared grand prize winner of the contest and won jewelry, gift cards, adult toys and a stripper pole for home use. “It wasn’t pole dancing,” she said. “It was more of a… promotional event.” It was pretty tame by comparison. In 2009, Miss USA runner-up Carrie Prejean was stripped of her Miss California title after some topless photos of her surfaced. Should Rima Fakih be allowed to keep her crown?

Bret Michaels Admitted to the Hospital with "Warning Stroke"

Sadly, more jokes about Bret Michaels’ affection for adult entertainment will need to wait a few days. The singer was rushed to the hospital yesterday after suffering a setback doctors have described as a “warning stroke.” On his official website, a statement reads Bret was “suffering numbness on the left side of his body, predominately his face and hands.” While conducting an MRI and a CT scan, doctors also discovered a hole in the singer’s heart. Neurosurgeon Joseph Zabramski says this news is “devastating to Bret and his family” and added: “The good news is that it is operable and treatable and we think we may have diagnosed the problem… it is great that he quickly reacted to the severe numbness and got to the hospital immediately. “I realize Bret wants to make a full recovery so that he can be active with his family, attempt to attend the finale of Celebrity Apprentice and especially get back on the road to continue making music. Without a doubt he is very determined to get healthy and make a 100 percent recovery. “Medically speaking it is a fantastic attitude both mentally and physically for him to have. However, Bret’s brain and body are not quite 100 percent yet, especially with the hole found in his heart.” A rep for Michaels sent out gratitude from her client to his fans, while saying Bret is “up, walking, talking” and “very happy to be alive.” We’d like him to remain that way, so let’s all encourage Bret to take it easy. There’s no rush to get back on tour. We’ll line up for tickets in two weeks or two years, man. Just get better.

Casey James Will Have A ‘Big Career’ After ‘American Idol,’ Pal Says

But Danny Ross hasn’t written off James’ finale chances yet: ‘You can’t underestimate the women of America.’ By Gil Kaufman Casey James Photo: FOX It’s a bit late in the season for the usual conspiracy theories to arise, but there’s something about the way the “American Idol” finale is shaping up that has given Casey James’ supporters pause. “I don’t know, I think there’s something prejudicial going on, where it just seems like they’re stacking the deck against him,” said Danny Ross, owner of the Fort Worth blues club Keys Lounge, where the top-three “Idol” finisher has jammed on and off for the past two years. On Wednesday afternoon (May 19), Ross said he thought James did well on Tuesday night’s show , but he just couldn’t shake the feeling that the show’s producers were trying to steer America toward a Lee DeWyze/ Crystal Bowersox showdown . “The John Mayer song [‘Daughters’] was not as dynamic as [Bowersox’s] ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’ or [DeWyze’s] ‘Hallelujah,’ but, gosh, I’ve played with Casey, and I know talent when I see it, and Casey is one of the only guys I sit in with at the club,” he said. “I didn’t see any signs for Casey in the audience and not many for Crystal but a lot for Lee. Casey came in here last week and did a set like nothing had changed, and I had people say that if he played like that on TV, it wouldn’t be any competition.” Ross has been in the business a long time and considers himself a good judge of talent, and he said he thinks DeWyze is a good singer and Bowersox has “a hell of a voice,” but neither can front a band the way James can or rip off the kinds of bluesy guitar solos he’s seen Casey play in his club. So while he sees an uphill climb for his prot

Mario’s Next Album To Include Electro Sounds

‘It’s incredible how house music influences R&B nowadays,’ the R&B singer says of his upcoming album. By Jayson Rodriguez Mario Photo: MTV News First, Ne-Yo found inspiration in the electro blasting throughout clubs overseas, dabbling with the sounds on his last album, Year of the Gentleman. Then Will.I.am, Kelis, and a slew of other R&B acts followed. Consider Mario the latest act hooked by house music. “The new album right now, I’m just focused on the album,” the singer told MTV News backstage at Chris Brown’s “Virginia Stand Up! A Call to Action” benefit concert on Saturday. The Baltimore native explained that the genre’s grooves were just too appealing not to flirt with on his upcoming project. “Stay tuned. I just came back from Europe — it’s crazy out there,” Mario said. “I just did a DJ/ house [music] tour in Europe; I did like 10 days. It was a huge thing, like 15,000-seat venue. It was incredible to see how many people are into house music and R&B music, and how house music influences R&B nowadays. You know, [it has a] real strong presence … over there.” The collection, due this summer, according to Mario, would be his fifth album and the follow-up to last year’s set, D.N.A. That project spawned the hit “Break Up,” featuring Gucci Mane and Sean Garrett. Mario’s yet-untitled album is tentatively slated to include a guest appearance by Chris Brown, though nothing has been confirmed so far. Mario said the two crooners recently spent time together in a Los Angeles studio — though admittedly Brown was working with Keri Hilson and not him — and the pair have high hopes to get something recorded between them soon. “For the ladies,” he said with a smile.
