You don’t often see an X Factor contestant compared to both chicken soup and the world’s most famous vampire. But those were both descriptions bestowed on Josh Krajcik last night, following a strong rendition of “With A Little Help From My Friends.” What engendered such responses, the former from Paula and the latter from Simon? Josh’s growls. His faces. His overall expressive demeanor. Does Krajcik remind you of Dracula, too?

Theophilus London joins Deborah Harry for performance during magazine’s ‘Women of the Year’ celebration at Carnegie Hall. By Jocelyn Vena Chelsea Handler Photo: Getty Images NEW YORK — On Monday night, some of the most prestigious and glamorous women in the world gathered at Carnegie Hall to celebrate the Women of the Year as chosen by Glamour magazine. Jennifer Lopez was the night’s top honoree, and props were also given to everyone from Laura, Barbara, and Jenna Bush to Chelsea Handler and “Glee” star Lea Michele. “I’m pretty excited,” Handler dished to MTV News on the red carpet. “I’m happy. It’s fun,” she added, before explaining what makes her feel glamorous. “Nice clothes make you feel glamorous; getting dressed up for the night. I’ve never really been one to care that much about clothing, if you haven’t been able to notice. I’m always about your mind and being and clever and smart, so it’s cool to kind of get dressed up and wear cool things.” One of the night’s performers, Theophilus London, was pretty stoked to be in the same room as some of the world’s most beautiful people. He even had the perfect outfit to wear when he hit the stage. “I woke up this morning [and] I kind of wanted to wear leather, but I want to wear something shiny and soft. I don’t want to be too hot in Carnegie, so I found something. Shout out to Lanvin. I feel very privileged because they’re very good designers,” he said. London also shared his opinions on who he thinks deserves Women of the Year honors. “I think Michelle Obama is pretty hot and sexy. Actually, I think Debbie Harry is really hot and sexy. I’m doing a duet with her tonight. I’m pretty privileged, but I think J.Lo deserves it. She’s from New York. She’s always reinventing herself. She’s hot and cute.” Fashion designer extraordinaire Marc Jacobs explained that true glamour comes from the inside. “I think self-confidence makes a woman glamorous,” he explained. “I think living by one’s own rules makes anyone glamorous; living life to the fullest, enjoying and appreciating all the things that life has to offer, enjoying one’s life,” he added. LaLa Vasquez had a similar take on the art of being glamorous. “I think it’s confidence. It’s all about how you feel on the inside,” she said. “If you feel confident, you can make anything look good, so definitely confidence.” Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta later joked, “Obviously reading Glamour magazine makes women glamorous, but I think glamour is about a girl who understands herself and has her own sense of style.” Related Photos 21st Annual Glamour Women Of The Year Awards Related Artists Jennifer Lopez

Damian McGinty stops by to critique our Gleek’s Irish folk song. By Jim Cantiello Damian McGinty and Heather Morris in “Glee” Photo: FOX In Tuesday night’s “Pot O’ Gold” episode of “Glee,” McKinley High welcomed a new foreign exchange student, Rory (Damian McGinty), which inspired MTV News’ resident Gleek to write an Irish folk song in his honor. The new guy was great, and “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” was a jolt of excitement, but in the end, did the oddball custody battle, distracting Congressional race and eyebrow-raising Puck/Shelby romance suggest that the third season might be hitting the same uneven patches that plagued season two? At the very least, viewers had next week’s steamy promo to drool over. Sing along to our latest musical “Glee”-cap! Family, friends and fellow Gleeks Come gather ’round for a story About a kind young Irish lad Who goes by the name of Rory He doesn’t fit in Despite being Under Finn’s wing But, boy, can he sing He’s good for a wish Wants Brittany to kiss His place of bliss Instead, he’s dismissed Mercedes recruits Santana the brute Who threatens the cute New Irish suit He ain’t so keen On being green And Brittany careens Into Shelby’s routines [Damian enters, coughs. The music stops] Damian : “Jim, that’s the worst Irish accent I’ve ever heard. It’s offensively bad. You know the Lucky Charms guy? It’s even worse than that.” Jim : “Um. I … Sorry.” Damian : “Thanks for making me feel welcome, you jerk.” Jim : “Say hi to Klaine for me!” [The song resumes.] How could I go this far without Singing about that promo For next week’s epic episode In which my favorite homos Finally do the deed, my friends? I want it NOW, not later But I could use these seven days To buy a defibrillator Raise your hand if you give a f— About Quinn or Shelby or Puck And keep it raised if you still care When Sue makes jokes about Schuester’s hair Yes, it’s great that Burt went and saved The school play from being extinct But the very last thing that “Glee” needs Is a political plotline that stinks Thank God for Klaine For keeping me sane Did you see when he grabbed his hip? I love that what keeps this show afloat Is actually a “ship” “Last Friday Night” Was oh so right A glorious sight Made me high as a kite Even though that Darren Was the one to sing Despite having been In Katy’s thing A stand-out scene You know what I mean The twirl was a dream Cute to the extreme Next week, our two boys Are gonna be poised To make some noise For us to enjoy [to the tune of “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)”] Next Tuesday night, Klaine goes all the way.

It was a night full of high praise, with Astro, Josh Krajcik and Melanie Amaro all earning the judges’ approval as well. By Adam Graham Simon Cowell Photo: FOX There was no shortage of praise doled out by the judges on Wednesday’s (November 2) episode of “The X Factor,” with two performers hailed as budding superstars, one compared to a young Michael Jackson and a group praised as one of the world’s best bands. And those acts weren’t even considered the evening’s front-runners! Here’s a recap of Wednesday’s performances, and the compliments that followed: The Girls Following her rendition of the Eagles’ “Desperado,” Melanie Amaro was dubbed “the one to beat” in the competition by Cowell. Meanwhile, Rachel Crow’s take on “Walking on Sunshine” caused Scherzinger to compare the 13-year-old to Jackson 5-era Michael Jackson, and Drew — formerly known as Drew Ryniewicz — wowed the judges with her unorthodox take on Nelly’s “Just a Dream,” which prompted both L.A. Reid and Cowell to say the 14-year-old has the makings of a superstar. The Boys Chris Rene was surrounded by flames during his performance of the Carpenters’ “Superstar,” which Cowell said made it look like he was performing in hell. “That’s called fire, baby, ’cause he’s hot!” gushed mentor L.A. Reid. Elsewhere, pintsize rapper Astro’s blend of “Hip-Hop Hooray” and “Get Ur Freak On” — with original verses by the young MC — had Cowell praising his star quality and Scherzinger saying she wanted to take him to the club, while Marcus Canty’s mash-up of B.o.B’s “Nothin’ on You” and Bobby Brown’s “Every Little Step” had Paula Abdul calling him “a total performer.” The Groups The 10-member InTENsity took pieces of Kim Wilde’s “Kids in America” and LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” and blended them into one “fun, fun, fun” performance, according to Reid, who echoed the other judges’ sentiments about the group. Lakoda Rayne’s vocals — especially their harmonies — were celebrated following their performance of “Landslide,” though Cowell attacked their choice of wardrobe, saying their gowns made them look like they were attending the prom. And the Stereo Hogzz kicked off the evening with a steroid-enhanced version of Janet Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation” that had Abdul calling them “fantastic” and had Cowell complimenting them by saying, “I don’t think there’s a band in the world right now who are as good as you.” Over 30s Burrito maker Josh Krajcik took on Christina Perri’s “Jar of Hearts,” and Cowell said the stark ballad came off as a song that Krajcik wrote himself. Mentor Scherzinger put it another way: “I feel like a proud mom, but we’re, like, the same age, so that doesn’t work.” Stacy Francis, after attempting a pop song last week, took ’em to church with “Up to the Mountain,” which was called “magical” and “a shining moment” by Abdul and called one of the evening’s best by Cowell, who let her kiss him onstage. And 60-year-old LeRoy Bell got decent marks for singing Lonestar’s “I’m Already There,” though Reid criticized the song choice and Cowell said he felt Bell had a confidence problem. On this night, that was about as harsh as the criticism would get. One finalist will be sent home on Thursday’s one-hour live episode of “The X Factor.” It was also announced on Wednesday’s show that “The X Factor” will return next year for a second season. What did you think of the top 12 on “X Factor”? Let us know in the comments!
‘The song to me meant a lot, because I don’t normally talk about how I feel and what’s going on in my world,’ Jeezy tells MTV News on video set. By Rob Markman, with reporting by James Smith T.I. and Young Jeezy Photo: Chris McKay/ Getty Images Sometimes the fame can just be too much — just ask Young Jeezy and T.I. On the Snowman’s new J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League-produced single “F.A.M.E.,” he and Tip expound on the pressures of being in the limelight. “I wanted to let them know ‘Fake-Ass Mother—-ers Envy,’ because they really do, and I just wanted to go in like that,” Jeezy told MTV News on the set for the song’s video in Atlanta over the weekend. In his first verse, Jeezy addresses the constant delays of his TM 103 album when he spits, “I bet you feel like the whole world hatin’ on you/ Well what’s the holdup? The whole world waitin’ on you.” For Jeezy, the single is a departure from his usual trap-based material. “The song to me meant a lot, because I don’t normally talk about how I feel and what’s going on in my world,” he said. T.I. has been going through his own trials and tribulations. In September, he was released from prison after violating his probation in 2010. Tip used “F.A.M.E.” as a conduit to address his innermost feelings. “Another year in prison, promise this is it for me/ Tryna make it through the storm, should be makin’ history,” he rhymed. “It’s an honest interpretation of where I am mentally and how I feel about others volunteering their opinion on my circumstances without having full knowledge,” T.I. said of his verse. “I felt that it was appropriate when I listened to it. It musically said everything that I wanted to say verbally.” What are you expecting from the “F.A.M.E.” video? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Young Jeezy T.I.
