The conditions of the plea agreement are Money Mayweather plead guilty to one count of battery domestic violence and two counts of harassment.

‘We’re unified,’ Birdman tells MTV News of clip featuring Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne. By Rob Markman Nicki Minaj, Birdman and Lil Wayne on the set of “Y.U. Mad” Photo: MTV News Birdman has every reason to smile, and in his latest video, for “Y.U. Mad,” the #1 Stunna puts his diamond-encrusted grill on full display. Not only is his YMCMB record label the biggest rap label of the year thanks to high-profile releases from Lil Wayne and Drake, but the camaraderie displayed in his new clip, which premiered on MTV2 on Sunday, is very real — both on and off camera. “We like this with each other on an everyday basis. It’s just fortunate that it’s a video and they get to see it in that way,” Birdman told MTV News from his trailer on set of the “Y.U. Mad” video shoot in Miami back in October. “It’s a family atmosphere, and we talk a lot and we work a lot, and when it comes down to the music, we do it together, we’re unified. It’s what Lil Wayne and Birdman and Young Money, Cash Money all about — working as a team.” The proof is in the Gil Green-directed video off Birdman’s upcoming solo LP Bigga Than Life . Nicki Minaj sets things off, in character as “The Female Weezy.” Dressed in a white wifebeater, camouflage pants, skater sneakers and a blond dreadlocked wig, Nicki embodies Lil Wayne’s persona as she prances on the screen rapping her verse. It wouldn’t be a Birdman video if the #1 Stunna didn’t flaunt his wealth. In one scene, Baby rides around M-I-A in a white convertible Mercedes Maybach, in another he sits with YMCMB execs Mack Maine and Cortez Bryant at a long dining table littered with vodka bottles and exuberant amounts of cash. Still, it’s the ear-to-ear grins that make “Y.U. Mad” stand out from previous Birdman videos like “Fire Flame” and “Always Strapped.” Wayne may have had the most fun on set, rocking a high-top, red fur hat, colorful shorts and a backpack containing his skateboard. The song was originally something that Nicki was working on but then gave to Birdman in order to keep it in the family. From the first listen, the Cash Money CEO was in love with what is now his latest single. “I liked it from the start,” he said. “Working with Nicki is just special anyway. It was something she gave me and I felt good about it so we rocked with it.” And apparently they had a blast doing it. Related Artists Birdman Lil Wayne Nicki Minaj
‘Twilight’ flick blew past ‘The Muppets,’ but faces formidable holiday-movie competition in the coming weeks. By Kevin P. Sullivan Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in “Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” Photo: Summit Entertainment The box-office battle of Thanksgiving weekend has come and gone, and “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” once again emerged as the victor. The penultimate entry in the vampire romance series pulled off an impressive haul of an estimated $62.3 million, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com . The weekend brought the film’s domestic total to roughly $221 million, and survived formidable competition from “The Muppets,” which earned a respectable $42 million. But what do the upcoming weeks hold for “Breaking Dawn – Part 1”? We consulted some box-office experts to find out. One of the biggest questions right now for “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” is whether it will continue to dominate the box office for a third week in a row. With only “Shame” — a small indie film by comparison — opening next week, the stage is set for another rematch between “Breaking Dawn” and “The Muppets.” Phil Contrino from Boxoffice.com said there is some potential for growth in the case of “The Muppets.” “It’ll be close between [‘Breaking Dawn – Part 1’] and ‘The Muppets,’ because [‘The Muppets’] has much better word of mouth,” he said, but he indicated that it was too soon to say which would come out on top. Jeff Bock of Exhibitor Relations , on the other hand, sees the weekend going to “The Muppets.” The fight for second place will be between “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” and “Hugo,” he said. ” ‘Breaking Dawn’ is performing almost identically to ‘New Moon’ and will likely dip another 60 to 65 percent next weekend and gross $14 million to 16 million,” Bock said. “That probably won’t keep it at #1, as family films hold exceptionally well during the holiday season. That means ‘The Muppets’ will jump to #1, and depending on how many screens ‘Hugo’ jumps to, it may be in a fight for second place.” Both Bock and Contrino expect “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” to finish its domestic run in the range of $300 million but say that we should expect a steep drop-off once more holiday films like “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” hit theaters. “It’s still going to fall fast,” Contrino said. “By the time ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ and ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol’ hit, the audience will have almost entirely disappeared.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Sinead O’Connor made some disturbing disclosures about suicidal thoughts on Twitter that shocked and worried her fans – but was she even being serious? Yes … but only to a point. After posting a series of thoughts such as “now I wish I was dead, no hope,” and the Irish singer has responded to the backlash. Her core message, in an open letter posted this morning, is that you don’t have to hide your feelings, even those that come from a dark, disturbed place. At the same time? Please don’t off yourself. “Open letter to all people in who occassionally feel suicidal, think, or have acted suicidally, including that really annoying Sinead woman that won’t just shut the f–k up and stop making people feel uncomfortable,” she rambled. “Why would ‘God’ want u to beat urself up for wanting to die? Don’t allow anyone near u who, when ur with them u feel bad about u. U haven’t died. That’s what matters to God. God is close to the broken hearted. And ‘God’ doesn’t judge.” “Its ok to FEEL suicidal. That is most definately neither a sin nor a sign necessarily, of madness. Its quite normal to feel that way sometimes. And its not only ok but MANDATORY u SAY when u feel suicidal and ask for help.” “Anyone who criticises u can f–k off and is only afraid of their own ‘madness.'” O’Connor went on to ponder about spirituality and clarified that while she believes it’s OK to feel suicidal, people shouldn’t take their feelings any further. She noted that despite her rant this week, in which she told followers that she would kill herself if there was a way to do so without her children finding out her death was due to suicide, she certainly wasn’t encouraging that. (Why write it on Twitter then? Legitimate question.) “I do believe suicide is a sin,” O’Connor said. “Because u may as well have murdered every one who loves u even remotely. Including ‘God’.” “And we all have people who adore us.. Even if we think we don’t. Its a lie too, suicide. It doesn’t solve your problems. It only makes them infinately, un-countably worse. Its a permanent solution to a temporary problem.” “Which brings u a whole rake of new karmic problems. ” “Its selfish. And s–t. So… Let’s not do it.” Nice. Got it. We’re good then, Sinead?
Floyd Mayweather may have knocked out Victor Ortiz last night, but he was apparently still itching for a fight afterward … with sportscaster Larry Merchant. During the post-fight interview, Floyd started absolutely screaming at HBO’s 80-year-old ringside reporter, yelling, “You never give me a fair shake.” “HBO need to fire you,” the fighter continued, all up in Merchant’s grill. “You don’t know $h!t about boxing. You ain’t $h!t! You’re not $h!t!” Yikes. See below. Floyd Mayweather Rant Larry Merchant didn’t back down, barely even flinching at the outburst and telling the champ: “I wish I was 50 years younger and I’d kick your a$$.” Damn, Mayweather . Who knew, you won by KO, but you still got served. At least he didn’t bring up Floyd’s apparent history of wailing on women .
