FKA Twigs Dances A Man To Death In ‘Video Girl’: Watch

by 27 mins ago

FKA twigs has one lethal voice — literally. In her new video for “Video Girl,” off of her debut record, LP1, twigs performs the jam to an audience of one: a man on death row slowly dying via lethal injection. Yikes.

The song was based on a pretty simple premise: FKA twigs (born Tahliah Barnett) previously found fame as a dancer in music videos, but after separating herself from that world she used to lie when people asked if she was “the girl from the video.”

The video — directed by Kahlil Joseph — however, has a much darker premise. A lot more complex. Who is the man twigs is haunting? Did he murder her? Is she a ghost? Is that why he’s on death row? And who is the other man — the one with blood pouring from his mouth?

Oh, to see the world through twigs’ Google Glass! Judging by this video, we imagine it to be a lot like that movie “Insidious.”

Check out “Video Girl” below:

Snooki And JWOWW Get Jealous Of Their Fiancés…For The Best Reason Ever

by 32 mins ago

Nicole Polizzi’s and Jenni Farley’s fiancés are both enjoying fatherhood to the hilt, but their doting ways are making the “Jersey” girls a tad envious.

“Jionni and Roger are extremely hands-on when it comes to the kids,” Jenni reveals in the clip below. “And it gets annoying for me and Nicole.”

Snooki, meanwhile, is a bit more blunt about it. “We’re the mommies, back off!” the mother of two exclaims.

Sounds like Rog and Jionni aren’t afraid of diaper changing or a little spit-up, and who can blame them? Have you seen Giovanna, Lorenzo and Meilani?!

Despite their occasional envy, Jenni admits that she and her “Snooki & JWOWW” costar are extremely grateful for their fabulous partners, and it’s important for them to take into consideration that some women aren’t so fortunate.

To hear what else the mamas had to say about their men, watch the video. And be sure to tune in to the final season of “Snooki & JWOWW” on Wednesday, November 5 at 10/9c!

Fifth Harmony Challenge New Kids On The Block To Do Their ‘Right Stuff’ Dance … In Heels

by 34 mins ago

Listen up, New Kids on the Block. The girls of Fifth Harmony have a pretty big challenge for you.

They want you to do your iconic “You Got It (The Right Stuff)” choreography… in heels.

But there’s some back story: Fifth Harmony nailed the choreo in heels during their performance of the song on MTV’s “Faking It,” and it wasn’t easy, since they only had 90 minutes to learn the dance.

“We are also doing the classic little dance that they do, which I’m going to be doing to be doing every social gathering, and we had to do it in heels,” Camila said.

Then Normani threw down the gauntlet: “I think New Kids on the Block should do it in heels from now on.”

5H, or NKOTB 2.0 as we like to call them, performed at an underground party on “Faking It,” marking their first time performing on a TV show.

“Covering a boy band song is super super fun. I’m also a really big fan of the ’90s type of music. The track is really synthesized and you really get that ’90s sound,” Ally said before Lauren continued, “Shooting the scene was definitely a little awkward because we are used to the music being loud and in your face but there was just like a play back.”

‘Arrow’: Laurel Teams Up With Nyssa Al Ghul In This Exclusive Clip

by 40 mins ago

“Arrow” has already delivered some major twists and turns throughout the first three episodes of its third season, but none have impacted the show’s universe quite like the death of Sara Lance, the original Canary.

Of course, fans had always suspected that Sara’s sister Laurel (Katie Cassidy) would eventually become the comic staple Black Canary, but never has this conclusion seemed so inevitable as it does now, in this exclusive clip from Wednesday’s (October 29) episode, “The Magician,” airing on The CW.

In the clip, Laurel teams up with Nyssa al Ghul (Katrina Law), the League of Assassins baddie and Sara’s ex-lover, to somehow avenge her sister’s death. The only question is, will this lead to Laurel’s currently clueless father (Paul Blackthorne) finally finding out the truth about his younger daughter’s untimely demise?

Police Arrest Man For Animal Sex Video, But It Was Just A Tiger Costume

by 47 mins ago

Halloween is a couple days away, and your costume looks super realistic, right? Not compared to this one.

Andrew Holland, a 51-year-old bus driver from Wales, recently announced a campaign to change the country’s obscenity laws after police arrested him in 2009 for possessing animal pornography — but there was only one problem: It was just a furry cosplaying Tony the Tiger.

“That beats doing Frosties ads for a living,” the tiger apparently says, adding, “That’s grrrrrrreat!”

This story sounds insane, but we confirmed it with North Wales police. We’ll give you a second for your head to stop hurting.

Unfortunately, Holland claims that police didn’t listen to the audio. “[W]hen I told them to listen to it, and it was obvious it was a man in a tiger costume, they just replied they didn’t have audio,” he told the Daily Post.

Holland says that a friend sent him the six-second clip as a joke.

“I lost my job, I had to move and I ended up having a heart attack with all the stress of it,” Holland says in an interview with the Independent. “I was threatened on more than one occasion.”

We asked a police spokesperson to explain how this possibly happened. “It’s five years old — we’re not commenting,” he said, but acknowledged that the charges were dropped within a year and that Holland is now “calling for some ...

‘Happyland’ Scandal Report: Dazzle Beauty Learns The Dirty Truth

by 2 mins ago

School might be out for the summer in Dazzle, but Harper Munroe just got one hell of an education.

HappyOct28Ann Lamore and Shannon Baek

Last night, Happyland‘s redheaded beauty was enjoying some hot wings on an equally spicy date with Park Prince Ian Chandler when Chandler’s secret sister Lucy Velez showed up with an intern she’s reportedly been seeing. And though the foursome were fine sharing a table at the get-go, Tuesday Teen has learned things took a nosedive once the party moved operations to the amusement park.

In the midst of the interns’ traditional “Ricky 360″ initiation, Munroe got word that Chandler and Velez had kissed and confronted Happyland’s newest Princess Adriana about why she so cruelly withheld the intel. Then, sources say, a wild argument caught fire between the two, and the only way Velez could quell the flames was to tell Munroe the truth — that she and Chandler discovered they shared a father not long after locking lips and agreed to keep their encounter a secret. Next, on “Springer”…

Now, Tuesday Teen hears Velez is terrified word will spread. Got any more on the story? Get in touch with Tuesday Teen!

This ‘Merciless’ Rumor Is The Best (Unofficial) Hollywood Book Gossip Ever

by 22 mins ago

Is “The Merciless” on your YA radar? It should be! Ever since the news came down that Danielle Vega’s novel was headed to Hollywood, we’ve been keeping our ears to the ground for any whispers about what’s bound to be an awesome adaptation.

The original story is chilling — think “Mean Girls” meets “The Exorcist” — and with “Pretty Little Liars” showrunner Marlene King in charge of taking it to the movies, “The Merciless” should be a high-stakes, high-drama scarefest with no shortage of either twisty intrigue or sexy distractions. But since the pipeline between page and premiere is so agonizingly slow, MTV News caught up with Vega herself to find out what’s new with the adaptation, where she gets her inspiration, and what we can read to give ourselves the creeps while we wait for her book to hit the big screen. Here are the highlights from our e-chat.

Picture this: pretty little demonically possessed liars.
MTV News: We haven’t heard much about the movie since the initial announcement back in May. What can you tell us about its status?
Danielle Vega: Everything movie related is pretty hush hush right now, but I can tell you that Marlene King, the genius behind Pretty Little Liars, is hard at work on the script.
MTV: How about casting news?
DV: Nothing official, but Marlene mentioned that she had two Liars in mind while reading the book.
MTV: [silent screaming because how awesome would that be?!!]

Why she writes about good girls gone crazy
MTV: What drew you to ...

Lil Wayne Drops New Carter V Release Date With Help From The Lox On ‘Gotti’

by 23 mins ago

For a second it seemed like Lil Wayne might’ve forgotten he was supposed to drop an album on October 28, but Tune was just waiting to make an announcement on his own terms. On Tuesday night he dropped a PSA confirming that Tha Carter V — well, part one of it, at least — arrives on December 9.

And in the meantime, we’ve got a new single featuring The Lox called “Gotti.”

In his PSA, Wayne explains that he’s just got too many songs to fit on Tha Carter V “This album means a whole lot to me and I know the real fans out there, it means a whole lot to them too,” he said.

“So I kinda refuse to cheat them and just give them anything, and give them anything rushed. I recorded so many songs, and we had to come up with an idea or a way to get all the music out there and not just 13 or 12 songs.”

He revealed that he’s got about 31 songs on deck right now. The first part of Tha Carter V album will be dropping December 9, Which leaves us to wonder what happens to Da Other Album, which he told us that he’d drop two months after C5′s release. Is it the same thing?

Either way, if any of those other songs sound like ...

Whether you knew it already or not, today is National Cat Day. According to NationalCatDay.com (because what other source would you trust with accurate information on this holiday?), the day was founded in 2005 by Pet and Family Lifestyle Expert & Animal Welfare Advocate Colleen Paige in an effort to encourage prospective cat owners to adopt rescues and to give fur mommies another annual excuse to pamper their babies.

This GIF Perfectly Captures How We Felt During Marvel’s Big Announcement

by 10 mins ago

So we were pretty excited about Marvel Studios’ huge announcement yesterday (10/28). The unveiling of the entirety of Phase Three packed so much news into such a short period of time that it was almost too much to handle.

It’s hard to describe to someone who isn’t a Marvel fan what hearing the news actually felt like, but this GIF helps.
