“For John Gotti Sr, you need a man’s man to play that role,” critiqued former mobster Lewis Kasman about John Travolta’s casting in the upcoming crime-boss biopic from Barry Levinson . “He’s a thug, so you need someone who’s a thug… a guy who grew up in that life.” Apparently, Travolta’s Oscar-nominated Saturday Night Fever performance doesn’t hold much weight among the mob set either: “John Gotti Sr. never danced a dance in his life.” [ Daily Mail ]
After a premiere that was overshadowed by Two and a Half Men in the ratings, Dancing With the Stars returns for its second week of competition this evening. In week one, the controversial Chaz Bono proved he’s got the confidence and personality, if not the natural talent, to stick around at least a little while this fall. Metta World Peace? Out. Chynna Phillips, J.R. Martinez and Hope Solo turned in strong performances, while Nancy Grace, Rob Kardashian and Elisabetta Canalis ended up at the bottom. Can those three rebound this week? Possibly, given a little experience and the first-week jitters out of the way. But it’ll be a tall order to top the favorites. In the middle of the pack, Ricki Lake, Kristin Cavallari, Carson Kressley and David Arquette could all make a move or fall flat. Expect a little of each. Our picks to go home this week? Rob, who acts like he doesn’t want to be there, or Nancy, who may be too polarizing to draw enough fan support. Who will win Dancing With the Stars?
Oh, the irony. Antoine Dodson, who rose to viral fame when he ranted to a reporter about his role in chasing off a criminal, is now a criminal himself.
Cover your ears, readers. The New Couple Alert siren might be sounded at any moment. Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks were spotted at Philippe Chow in West Hollywood last night, celebrating the former’s 22nd birthday and looking cozy together, witnesses tell E! News. Are sparks flying between Jordin and Jason? Derulo has previously been linked to his “It Girl” music video co-star Tika Sumpter… who, as bad luck would have it, will actually appear opposite Sparks in the upcoming remake of Sparkle on the big screen. That should make for an interesting day or two on set. [Photos: WENN.com]

In this ‘Deathly Hallows, Part 2’ Blu-ray exclusive, Radcliffe says literary beginnings set ‘Potter’ apart from other film franchises. By Eric Ditzian Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” Photo: Warner Bros. He’s the Boy Who Lived. And lived. And lived. The “Harry Potter” film franchise has come to a close — taking with it $1.3 billion and counting at the international box office for the final part of “Deathly Hallows” — but the bespectacled wizard and his friends and foes are neither gone nor forgotten. There are still Blu-rays to nab, fresh footage to consume and things to learn about the series. In an exclusive clip from the upcoming Blu-ray release of “Deathly Hallows, Part 2,” which Warner Bros. just announced will be hitting shelves November 11, Daniel Radcliffe pointed out how J.K. Rowling’s book series has given rise to an entire new generation of young people with a love of literature — something other big franchises cannot claim. “I always think that that’s one of the wonderful things about ‘Potter’ and the ‘Potter’ fanbase,” Radcliffe says. “If you think about the other big costume-wearing [franchises] that go with it, things like ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Star Trek,’ with ‘Potter,’ because it started off as a literary thing, has created a generation of the same kind of mentality … with an appetite for reading and literature, which is kind of amazing.” Radcliffe’s comments are included in a special Blu-ray featurette presenting a never-before-seen conversation between the actor and Rowling herself. That’s one extra on the new release, in addition to behind-the-scenes footage and a preview of Pottermore, Rowling’s online “Harry Potter” experience . Start your pre-ordering now! Because 10 years into the franchise’s run, fans still can’t get enough of all things “Potter.” Neither can Radcliffe, not even when the franchise intrudes into his post-“Potter” career , as it did at the end of a performance of his Broadway musical, “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” “Somebody shouted, ‘You’re a wizard, Harry!’ [during the end of a ‘How to Succeed’ performance], and I just went, in a way, ‘I’m kind of annoyed at you right now, but on the other hand, you’ve done quite well to restrain yourself for two and a half hours and not shout that in the middle of the show,’ so I kind of have to be grateful,” Radcliffe told us this past spring.

‘That’s why ‘Nasty’ is out there, it’s an M-80,’ Nas says of first single off upcoming album. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Gil Kaufman Nas Photo: C Flanigan/ Getty Images Few would argue that Nas lit a spark with “Nasty,” the first single off of his upcoming 10th solo album, but let the Queensbridge MC tell it and the old-school inspired hip-hop track actually packs a bigger boom. “You know ‘Nasty’ is what I would like the game to be right now in a lot of ways; back to the realness,” Nasir told MTV News before performing with Damian Marley at Austin City Limits last weekend. “That’s why ‘Nasty’ is out there, it’s an M-80. I lit an M-80.” The song’s video was shot in Nas’ native Queensbridge housing projects back in August, but its release has been delayed. Not to worry, says God’s Son, it is on its way soon. “Yeah, the ‘Nasty’ video is coming. I can’t wait ’til it hits, it’s perfect timing,” he said of the clip, which is directed by Decon. “It got pushed back ’cause — I mean, I guess I got busy, but we shot it, so it’s coming out for the people.” Though Esco wouldn’t give out any details surrounding his upcoming album, he did insist that it was coming out this year. Back in June, in an interview with DJ Envy on MTV2’s Sucker Free, the Illmatic One said that the album would be called Life Is Good, but later backtracked. “A lot of people around me didn’t understand where I was coming from. They kinda thought I was saying, ‘Let’s pop bottles, we’re rich, everything’s good.’ That’s not where I was coming from,” Nas cleared up in a June interview with MTV News. “So, there’s another title that came, that kind of fits a little better, and you might hear about that. There might be a change coming real soon.” Regardless of the name, Nas has a good feeling about “Nasty” and the trend that it will set in hip-hop. “So ‘Nasty’ is one of the songs to come and bring the sh– back to the real sh–,” he said.
