UK Horror Fest Takes Heat for Twisted PSA [VIDEO]

Don’t you hate it when you’re trying to enjoy a movie and some inconsiderate asshole refuses to put his (or her) phone away? Us too. But do you hate it enough to stab the offending texter in the neck with a pencil– and then screw the gaping wound in her neck? That’s the message posited by an “indent” (that’s British for “bump”) produced for the UK horror festival FrightFest 2012 , where that exact scenario plays out as a warning for patrons to turn off their phones before the movie starts. Apparently FrightFest wanted to take it up a notch from the Alamo Drafthouse’s famous “no talking” PSAs, which recruit celebrities to give the message and even spun an ejected patron’s irate voice mail into a viral video. But some festival-goers say the spot went too far, causing a firestorm of controversy (or as producers like to call it, free publicity) as horrified patrons called it “misogynist,” “disgusting”, and just plain “excessive.” We think they just didn’t get the joke: the spot was only played once– at a midnight screening of the upcoming Maniac remake ! Do you think the FrightFest PSA goes too far? Do you endorse vigilante justice against movie-theater texters (of which our head writer McBeardo heartily approves)? Let us know in the comments!

Mitt Romney’s Flight Across Florida: Cake On A Plane

Andrew Jenks eats birthday cake with the Republican presidential nominee on the eve of the primary election. By Andrew Jenks, with additional reporting by Gil Kaufman Mitt Romney celebrates Los Angeles Times journalist Mave Reston’s Birthday on Monday Photo: Emmanuel Dunand/ AFP/ Getty Images TAMPA, Florida — I got the chance to ride the Mitt Romney plane today as he travels across Florida to give his closing arguments for why he should be the Republican presidential nominee. If the former Massachusetts governor pulls off a decisive victory in Florida, it could provide the sense of momentum that he has been lacking so far. After (sort of) winning Iowa and decisively taking New Hampshire, a solid win here might signal that the GOP’s traditional base is coalescing around Romney. However, if former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich can pull off a win, the race could turn into a two-man duel that lasts well past the next Tuesday’s contest. Despite all that pressure, on the day before the huge swing-state election, he seemed relaxed. Very relaxed. In fact, he even decided to celebrate a reporter’s birthday before we took off. Romney himself brought back cake while singing “Happy Birthday” and threw bags of chips around to all of us. (I missed my shot.) What’s interesting is the way in which Romney interacts with the press — the group of 25 or so reporters and photographers who follow him everywhere he goes. And it’s essential for the governor and his staffers to stay on their good side. On this quick jet across the state, I was offered chocolate chip cookies, cherries, cheeses and roast beef sandwiches. It was a tasty slice of life in the world of how politicians interact with campaign reporters. MTV is on the scene in Florida!

Pussycat Dolls’ New Lineup To Debut In Super Bowl Ad

Go Daddy commercial will feature Lauren Bennett and Chrystina Sayers as ‘angels in heaven,’ PCD founder Robin Antin tells MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena Robin Antin Photo: MTV News The Pussycat Dolls have remained pretty much under the radar since some well-publicized lineup shifts back in 2009. With a new group of ladies all ready for their chance to shake it as a PCD, they are set to make their world debut Sunday during one of the biggest shows of the year: the Super Bowl. Recently, PCD creator Robin Antin and a newly instated Doll, Lauren Bennett, stopped by the MTV Newsroom to chat about the Go Daddy commercial that will launch the latest phase of all things PCD. So, what should fans expect? In the spot, Antin said, “The girls are on the Go Daddy cloud. They’re angels in heaven, and they’re very angelic.” The look of the commercial is not necessarily the new look of the group this time around, she said, adding, “It’s breathtakingly beautiful. It’s a fun, real-campy kind of sexy. It’s all of that, but again, what we’re doing for this next life of the Pussycat Dolls, the girls are all young. It’s a fresh, young energy. I want to appeal to our young fans.” Despite a lineup leak in early 2010, the new, official lineup now stands as Bennett (who you might remember from Antin’s other group, Paradiso Girls, as well as the LMFAO track “Party Rock Anthem”) along with Chrystina Sayers from Girlicious. More will be revealed Sunday in the shorter on-air version of the commercial, as well as the extended version that will go online after the spot debuts. “The dancing is spectacular. Everyone is amazing,” Antin said. “It’s the exact right recipe for the new Pussycat Dolls. We just did the Go Daddy commercial, Super Bowl spot — really excited about it. It’s sexy and all that. It’s a quick look for people to see the girls together for the first time.” Are you looking forward to seeing the new Pussycat Dolls? Tell us below! Related Artists Pussycat Dolls

Kobe Bryant Talks Recruiting Kanye West For Nike Film

‘He’s the first person I thought of,’ NBA All-Star MVP tells MTV News of tapping ‘Ye for ‘Black Mamba’ ad. By Alvin Blanco Kobe Bryant in “The Black Mamba” Photo: Nike NBA legend-in-the-making Kobe Bryant’s nickname is the Black Mamba, so a movie based on that tag was probably inevitable. Bryant, Nike and director Robert Rodriguez created a short film titled “The Black Mamba” that serves as an ad for his latest signature shoe, the Nike Zoom Kobe VI. The four-time NBA All-Star MVP spoke to MTV News about the spot and getting Kanye West onboard. “Well, it was just us talking,” Bryant told us of recruiting ‘Ye, during All-Star weekend. “We’ve known each other for quite some time, so when the idea came up to do a spot like this, he’s the first person I thought of.” Besides Bryant and West, actors Bruce Willis and Danny Trejo also make appearances in the six-minute spot. Nike previewed the short film at NBA All-Star Weekend festivities on Friday night at the W Hotel in Hollywood before officially debuting it online the next day. After the film was shown at the W, West hit the stage and performed his verse from “H.A.M.” (from his upcoming Watch the Throne project with Jay-Z) to a crowd that included LeBron James and Amar’e Stoudemire. “It was incredible,” Bryant said of Yeezy’s performance. “It just put a cap on the whole night. We aired the spot and then brought him out to perform and it kind of just took it over the top.” Bryant and West were in the same building again on Sunday afternoon for the NBA All-Star Game at the Staples Center, where Kobe went off in front of his hometown crowd for 37 points and 14 rebounds, earning him his fourth All-Star Game MVP trophy . Meanwhile, West hit the stage at halftime, closing out Rihanna’s set with a performance of “All of the Lights” from his platinum My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Later that evening, the LA Lakers guard added to his trophy case as he accepted a “He Got Game” statue at the Cartoon Network Hall of Game Awards . Bryant was recently seen reminiscing about his pre-NBA years on an episode of MTV’s “When I Was 17” that aired earlier this month. Related Artists Kanye West
