Demi Lovato Hopes To Inspire Others With Her ‘Honest Journey’

Singer explains why she chose ‘Skyscraper’ as her first single instead of ‘just another dance song.’ By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato at the 2011 VMAs Photo: Steve Granitz/ WireImage Demi Lovato proclaimed her inner strength on the emotional power ballad, “Skyscraper,” the lead single off her album, Unbroken, which drops later this month. The track immediately connected with her fans, who have stuck by her side over the last year as she’s battled personal issues. Their support of the track, Lovato explained to MTV News last week, has given her newfound strength as she sets out to launch the next phase of her bustling music career. “When the song came out, it went #1 on iTunes instantly and it was so surprising to me,” she said at a fan meet-and-greet in Los Angeles, where Lovatics lined up for blocks to meet Demi . “I wasn’t expecting that at all. It’s been such a whirlwind, and I’ve been so blessed and so thankful for it.” In “Skyscraper,” Lovato confronts her issues — the ones for which she sought treatment last fall — because, she said, she wanted to keep her fans in the loop about her growth as a person. “I’ve been pretty honest,” she said. “My whole journey has been about telling my story and hoping that when I share my story, it inspires somebody. So, when I decided to come out with a single that was honest and about my journey and about standing strong and tall like a skyscraper, I hope that it inspired people. “I thought that there was a bigger opportunity for me to come out with a song that would inspire people, rather than it be just another dance song on the radio,” she added. Sure, “Skyscraper” has a message, but there are also some fun tracks on the album, Demi promises, including her Missy Elliott/Timbaland collabo, “All Night Long.” “The song that Missy and I did together, Timbaland’s actually on it, too, and it’s fun,” she said. “It’s about staying up all night long and singing it to the boy that you like, and it’s flirty and fun and it’s not too grown-up, but it’s grown-up enough.”

Lady Gaga Found Perfect ‘Fit’ In Cher For Duet

‘Cher heard the song and loved it and wanted to do it together,’ Mother Monster tells MTV News of ‘The Greatest Thing.’ By Christina Garibaldi Lady Gaga and Cher at the 2010 Video Music Awards Photo: WireImage Two of pop’s biggest divas, Lady Gaga and Cher, are teaming up for a highly anticipated collaboration, fittingly titled “The Greatest Thing.” Late last week Cher confirmed via Twitter that the song will be out in September, but few details have been revealed about the Gaga-penned track. So when MTV News caught up with the VMA-nominated Mother Monster herself last week, we asked her to dish about the track. It turns out that “The Greatest Thing” was a song she had been holding onto for some time. “I wrote that song a long time ago, and I’ve never put it on one of my own albums for, really, no particular reason,” Gaga told us. “I always write these concept records, and it just didn’t fit in. But it’s always been, like, this big, massive, beautiful hit record and everyone always says, ‘Why don’t you put that on your album?’ And I said, ‘I don’t know, it just doesn’t fit with everything else.’ ” The song was, however, a good fit for Cher’s new record and it will reportedly be the lead single off of her yet-untitled 26th studio album. “Cher heard the song and loved it and wanted to do it together,” Gaga added. “And I said, ‘F— yeah, it’s Cher!’ ” Of course, this collaboration may never have happened if it were not for last year’s VMA show, where Cher handed Gaga her Video of the Year Moonman for “Bad Romance.” Lady Gaga graced the stage in her infamous meat dress , making a memorable first impression on Cher — and the rest of the world. “I don’t think she realized I was handing her meat,” Gaga recalled. So what was Cher’s response to Gaga asking her to hold her meat purse? “She was like, ‘No problem, I’ll hold your purse.’ And then she just sort of had a steak in her hand, and was like, ‘Thanks, bitch!’ ” the “Born This Way” singer joked. Gaga is gearing up to create more memorable moments at the 2011 Video Music Awards . She’ll open the big show with a performance on Sunday night. The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8.

Lil Wayne’s ‘How To Love’ Video ‘Harsh’ But ‘Real’

‘It was necessary, because these are the things that happen in real life,’ director Chris Robinson tells MTV News. By Rob Markman Lil Wayne Photo: MTV News The lyrics of Lil Wayne’s ballad “How to Love” are probably best described as romantically tragic, but after Weezy premiered the video online Wednesday, the song took on a more dire meaning. The Chris Robinson-directed clip tells the story of an abused mother, who unintentionally leads her daughter to relive her own vicious cycle. “I have a daughter, Wayne has a daughter, and he really wanted to tell the story,” Robinson told MTV News. “We were talking about statistics of abuse in our community. We were talking about really telling this story for every young woman in the world.” The video follows the life of a mother, who is beaten by her boyfriend while her baby daughter watches. As the little girl grows older, she visits her father in prison, and then as a preteen, she is molested by one of her mother’s lovers. From there, the young lady, played by model/actress Chanta Patton, grows up to become a stripper and eventual prostitute who contracts HIV. The cautionary clip is heavy in its message and not necessarily easy to watch. It wasn’t easy to film, either; Robinson talked about the difficulty of filming the molestation scene, where we see the young girl wearing pigtails trying to fight off her adult attacker. “That was a harsh scene; it was difficult for us to shoot,” the director said. “It was necessary, because these are the things that happen in real life. And you can see the trajectory of where that took her.” The video in some ways is reminiscent of TLC’s 1995 video for “Waterfalls,” in which the song drives a narrative with a deep message. Weezy’s performance shots are almost an afterthought. “Speaking to Wayne, his performance — actually seeing him — was secondary to him,” Robinson explained. “He really wanted to communicate what his thought was, what he really felt when he wrote these lyrics, and that was the priority for us.” In fact, it was the rapper’s lyrics that drove the story home. Key scenes fell in sync with Tunechi’s rhymes. “For me, I think Wayne’s performance, we really showed him when he said these poignant lines, things that really connected,” the director explained. “The concept is more a narrative. It’s a story about two paths in someone’s life and how one small choice that you make can affect your whole life.” Lil Wayne, who hits the stage as a performer at Sunday’s VMAs , will drop Tha Carter IV at midnight after the big show. The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday from Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8.

This is the story of my VERY unexpected 2nd Bieber…

This is the story of my VERY unexpected 2nd Bieber experience. It was a Saturday morning, July 16, 2011. I had just returned home from a vacation trip with my best friend, Paige Ito (paigeito2) and her family. I was so exhausted since it was 3am when I returned home that morning. My Mom let me sleep in but woke me up in time to remind me that it was Jeanine’s wedding day. This was an “adult only” wedding and no children were attending. Jeanine decided to invite some of the older cousins which included me. I debated whether to attend the wedding or stay back and watch my three little cousins so my older cousin could go since I was so tired.  After discussing what to do, my Mom suggested that I go and said I would have fun since my other teenage cousins were now coming. I said okay and off to Malibu we go. We arrive to the wedding and it’s the most beautiful, perfect day ever. There were only four of us teenagers (cousins) that were invited. As the night progressed the DJ announces that it’s time for the cake cutting ceremony. So everyone heads over to the opposite side of the dance floor. While the cake ceremony is going on, my Mom, cousin Alyssa, cousin Marisa, my Aunt Cece and like four other random people I didn’t know (including this mustache man behind me..lol) were on the dance floor. My cousin Alyssa and I were excited to have the dance floor to ourselves. We were like finally! KID TIME!! We spoke to the DJ and gave him the sign that it “was time”. Time to play some JUSTIN BIEBER!!!  We had already talked to the DJ prior to this point about playing some Bieber songs and he assured us he would play them. So the DJ starts us off with “Baby” and we start jamming out. I asked my Mom if she would record Alyssa and I dancing and she was like sure! Since the cake ceremony still appeared to be going on the DJ plays another song for us it’s ”One Time”. We were like YESSS!! The DJ saw that we are having so much fun and hands me the microphone . I was a little embarrassed but Alyssa and I were like who cares, lets sing this thing!!! No ones really paying attention to us. haha.  No one prepared us for what was about to happen.  While we were in our own little world singing and dancing I feel this person dancing behind me and I KNEW it wasn’t Alyssa. There were only “adults” at this wedding so I immediately think it’s “mustache man” who was dancing directly behind me. It scared me SO bad that I instinctively jumped back…like NO mustache man, get out! lol. I look, and its freakin’ JUSTIN BIEBER!!  If my calculations are correct this would make a total of about 10 heart-attacks that boy has given me if that’s even possible. In my mind I was like “again?!” “How are you here?!?!” “What’s happening?!?!” “WHATTT?!?!” Did Ellen set this up???. I said “Oh my God!” and put my hand over my mouth.  He scared me so bad! He was like “Ohh, hey”…all casual like no big deal…and gave me a hug. My cousin Alyssa starts screaming. Justin says to me ”How are you”. I’m like “ummm uhhh ummm good” (why cant I just answer him back like a normal person? haha). He like casts this spell on you and I become this speachless person that I’m so not. Trying my hardest to keep focused,  I continue on singing because Justin looks at me like “Keep going”. Justin then starts to dougie! I somehow pull myself together and dougie with him. By this time everyone at the wedding had received the memo that Justin Bieber had crashed the wedding and they start crowding around. Selena was there cracking up on the side. The DJ then plays ”OLLG”. I try to give Justin the microphone and I think he was embarrassed because he didn’t want to take over the party. We laughed then  I asked him, “What are you doing here?” He was like “We were just strolling on the beach and we heard someone singing my song”. I was like “Really?.. You came to my house, remember?”. Justin said ”Ohh yeah, you’re Paige!”. I was like “YEAAA!”. Then being the respectful person he is, Justin asked, “Have you met my girlfriend?” He smiled. He lead me through the crowd and introduced me to Selena.  There she was even more beautiful in person and so so adorable. I hugged her. Then she says, “We heard his music so we came”. Then we stayed with Selena while Justin walked over to congratulate the bride and groom and pose for some photos . We kept talking with Selena. Everyone seemed really happy to see Justin and Selena. Being respectful Justin says, “Thanks, we have to go now”. Selena and Justin smiled and waved good-bye to me and Alyssa. The whole wedding is in complete shock. Seriously, what were the chances of that happening? Like 0 to infinity? Alyssa and I run down the hill to the wood fence facing the ocean. We threw our hands up the the sky and yell, “THANK YOU GOD!!!!!”. We continued screaming and laughing our heads off. My cousin Alyssa lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is also a huge Justin Bieber fan and never thought she would ever meet Justin. She ended up needing her asthma inhaler because she was crying so hard and couldn’t breathe. I was like Alyssa, just take deep breaths! (I learned that method on Ellen). This was clearly a case of being in the right place at the right time. What if I didn’t go to the wedding? Would anyone have played any of Justin’s songs?  It was a crazy, very unexpected night. I go home to think about what had just happened. The only thing I could think about was how happy  Justin made everyone, my family, my little cousin and me. He makes people so happy and who does that?! What other freakin famous celebrity does that? Just Justin. He is seriously one of the most amazing people in this world. He continues to show me how bad I want to live out my dreams and how bad I want to make everyone I meet happy. I think about this experience and feel so very very blessed and thank God everyday for my life, my family and my friends. I really do hope that all Justins fans get to meet him someday. He is everything you imagined and then some. I think I would personally be jealous of someone who had the opportunity to have two huge experiences to meet Justin, but I know I would be the first to say to them, I’m so happy for you because that’s what Beliebers do. We should be happy for each other and share our experiences together . Who would of thought Justin and Selena would ever crash my cousins wedding that day? Ya not me but I’m sooo glad they did! -@paigeconway2 Talking about the wedding on  GMA More: This is the story of my VERY unexpected 2nd Bieber…

REVIEW: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 Guides the Franchise to a Graceful, Moving End

Editor’s note: This review may contain spoilers, particularly for those who haven’t read the books. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 was an in-between moment of a movie, a picture that left many fans of this most unusual movie franchise — not to mention the books they’re based on — feeling adrift and forlorn. By necessity, it was only a story half-told: Adapting the seventh and final book in J.K. Rowling’s series required splitting the story into two parts. Now, with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 , director David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves guide the story to a graceful and satisfying end. The movie’s final moments are the equivalent of the half-jubilant, half-mournful thrill you get when you close the cover of a book you’ve savored.
