Shellfish paella may be world famous, but when it comes to an ALL-seafood diet, apparently the Spanish censors aren’t so open minded. Eva Longoria ‘s new movie Without Men (2011), a comedy about a small Mexican village populated entirely by women, was scheduled to play at the Barcelona International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival this year, but the festival’s organizers are now pulling it from the lineup after the distributor made major cuts. The problem? Scenes of Sapphic romance featuring Eva and Kate de Castillo slow dancing and making out. The scene is non-nude, so we’re not sure what all the fuss is about, and neither is Xavier Daniel , the BIGLFF director: “We received a statement from the distributor in Spain saying that when the film premieres it will have the lesbian scenes removed ,” he told AFP. “The audience will not understand the film, because all the lesbian scenes are cut out… It is unbelievable in the year 2011.” Are we sure this is the same country that made Sex and Lucia (2001)? Spaniards might not be able to see Eva Longoria kiss a girl, but Mr. Skin members can see it RIGHT NOW on our Without Men page!

Two versions of song appear on Kaskade’s double album Fire and Ice. By Nick Philippou Kaskade Photo: MTV News Kaskade is making EDM fans’ dreams come true on his highly anticipated double album Fire and Ice, available exclusively on Monday (October 24). He teams up with budding dubstep icon Skrillex for “Lick It,” a track so tasty that you might try to do just that. We’ve secured a preview for your electro-fix, and it’s everything you would imagine from a combination of Kaskade’s progressive house vibe and Skrillex’s sound-crunching bass riffs. Kaskade predicted to MTV News that “Lick It” will definitely surprise people, in a good way. “I think most people went, ‘Wait, Kaskade and Skrillex — that’s two different things.’ But I think that’s what makes it interesting, you know?” Kaskade said. “Don’t take somebody who’s doing the exact same thing I’m doing, let’s find people that I really enjoy, but are doing something different than I’m doing.” Kaskade enticed an impressive group of collaborators from across genres for Fire and Ice, including Skylar Gray and alt rockers Neon Trees, but when pairing up with Skrillex, Kaskade knew he was enlisting one of EDM’s rising stars. “It’s crazy — Skrillex has had a massive year,” Kaskade said. “I think because not that many people knew about him last year, and then all of a sudden he’s just everywhere this year. It’s cool that he’s been able to do that. It’s been a massive impact on the underground.” Skrillex’s breakout stems from a rabid fanbase fueling tour demands after a steady stream of successes this year, like his remix of Benny Benassi’s “Cinema” and his recent single “First of the Year.” Those followed up his massive 2010 debut, “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites,” which opened at #1 on the Beatport Top 100. Kaskade told MTV News that he had so much fun doing a remix of Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites for Skrillex that he immediately knew that he wanted to do an original song with the dubstep master of Generation Next. Now, thankful fans of both artists will get two new songs from the pair on Kaskade’s double LP Fire and Ice, with one offering a club-ready and revved-up Fire version of “Lick It” and the other a more down-tempo Ice rendition of the song. “I had already worked up a track and had something in mind, and I threw it to him and this is what we got,” Kaskade said. “Skrillex sent it back to me, and I was like, ‘Sweet, dude — we got that bass patch in there. Yeah!’ ” Who would you like to hear Kaskade, Skrillex or both team up with and do a song for? Maybe they’ll take your two cents if you leave a comment! Related Artists Kaskade Skrillex

Blige and Maroon 5 have been added to the ever-expanding list of performers for the 2011 American Music Awards , joining a roster of talent that already includes Katy Perry and Pitbull.

Before seeing Orlando Bloom and Logan Lerman in action, check out these fun facts. By Eric Ditzian Orlando Bloom and Milla Jovovich in “The Three Musketeers” Photo: Summit Entertainment When you’re sequestered in a London hotel during the finest weekend of U.K. weather that anyone in that virtually sun-free territory can remember, you tend to learn a few things. People get a little loopy. They speak off the cuff. Such is the situation MTV News found itself in earlier this month during a press day for “The Three Musketeers,” when we ended up learning a few surprising things about director Paul W.S. Anderson’s 3-D take on the classic Alexandre Dumas novel, an adaptation that stays true to the original’s creative core but takes joyful liberties no one in the 17th century could ever have imagined. Read on for five rather surprising things you need to know about “The Three Musketeers,” which hit theaters Friday (October 21). Lerman’s Crazy Hair As we first noticed when set photos popped up last year during production, and as posters and trailers have subsequently made clear, star Logan Lerman rocks a very Jim Morrison-like hairdo to play D’Artagnan, a young chap looking to join the vaunted Musketeers. But Lerman didn’t grow his hair out for the role, nor did he slap on a wig every day. “It’s extensions,” he told us. “It was really uncomfortable. A wig would have been a more comfortable choice. I felt ridiculous walking around [off set]. I just had a beanie on all the time.” Bloom’s Anti-“Pirates” Preference At this point, after the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, Orlando Bloom approaches anything involving swords and seafaring with caution. What attracted the actor to “Musketeers” was that his director didn’t want him, for once, to play the good guy. “They wanted me to be part of the movie as Duke of Buckingham, as opposed to playing one of the Musketeers,” he said. “That sold me. The idea that I got to be the kind of villain, sort of a bad boy, bit of a rogue. Lot of fun. Fun, fun, fun! I get to be an arrogant prick and get away with it!” Jovovich’s 3-D Assets Milla Jovovich, who just so happens to be married to Anderson, insisted on doing all her fight training while wearing a corset — a noble, if highly uncomfortable, decision. For her husband’s film, though, she was willing to do whatever was necessary, including showing off her assets for Anderson’s 3-D cameras . “I did have to prepare a lot to make my cleavage what it was,” she said. “I had to eat a lot of pasta and get cinched really tightly into the corset to get the effect and let the girls do the acting for me. Each one took classes. Stanislavski. I think the left one is more talented than the right.” Bloom’s Rock Star Not only does the Duke of Buckingham act differently than Bloom’s “Pirates” good guy, he also dresses completely differently, often slipping into high heels and maintaining a wardrobe that contains every color you’d find in the rainbow (and many you would not). To pull it all off, Bloom turned to ’70s-era rock and roll. “The Duke had a questionable sexual background, no one was quite sure what his sexual flavor was or how many flavors he liked to participate in,” Bloom explained. “He’s a very outspoken and outrageous character. So for me, I just got to swagger through it all. You don’t want the costumes wearing you. You’ve got to wear the costumes. “Paul wanted the Musketeers to be superheroes and for me to be a kind of rock star. So I went with David Bowie from Ziggy Stardust,” he added. “He wore some of those outrageous costumes onstage. So with the Duke, he just owns every square foot that he steps in. He’s like, ‘This is all my territory.’ ” Anderson’s Da Vinci Inspiration Easily the most eye-popping features of “The Three Musketeers” are the fantastical airships he introduces to 17th-century Europe: part ship, part hot-air balloon, totally steampunk . In the film, the ships are said to be built from Leonardo da Vinci’s actual designs. The truth, however, owes more to artistic license than Renaissance ingenuity. “We did take our inspiration from his real etchings of airships,” Anderson told us. “We felt that Da Vinci had designed so many extreme, futuristic things that we could take the liberty of saying this is one of his designs and have this flying galleon.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Three Musketeers.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

How would have felt if you turned on the BET (Black Entertainment Television) Hip Hop Awards and caught “The Cyphers” with Justin Bieber spitting a hot 16 ? It almost happened! DJ Premier, in a recent interview, revealed that “Justin Bieber asked if he could do the cypher and everybody was worried that might mess up the integrity of BET, I was like yo, as long as he got a dope rhyme, let him spit. But then we heard he wants Luda to write his rhyme.” Once Premier realized that tid-bit of information “I was like oh no, no, no, no. If you ain’t writing your own rhyme, you can’t do it, so Justin, you gotta take a backseat. Write your own rhymes, honey.” You have just witnessed a case of “When Being White Goes Wrong…” Justin Bieber Song Featuring Boyz II Men Coming This Year Meet Justin Bieber’s DJ, Tay James [VIDEO]
