Imagine Dragons Have Finally Dropped A New Single: Listen

by 4 mins ago

It is just me, or has it been a minute since we last heard something new from Imagine Dragons?

OK, it’s not just me. The rock group has long-promised that a follow-up to their breakout debut album, Night Visions, would eventually see the light of day, and with the release of their new song, “I Bet My Life,” it looks like that day is finally coming.

“I know I took the path that you would never want for me/ I know I let you down, didn’t I?/ So many sleepless nights where you were waiting up on me/ Well I’m just a slave unto the night,” frontman Dan Reynolds sings in a bid for forgiveness.

The band has spent the last week teasing new lyrics and their new single’s cover art on Instagram, which they followed up by tweeting: “Back to the studio for us. Good things to come. Very soon. Peace and love to all you wonderful people out there across the world.”

Earlier this year MTV News spoke with Reynolds about the state of Imagine Dragons’ sophomore LP, and the self-proclaimed perfectionist assured they won’t be putting out a full album until they’re completely satisfied with it.

“The most important thing to us is that we put out an album that we’re really happy with,” Reynolds said. “We tend to be perfectionists, too hard on ourselves at times, and we don’t want to rush anything because we know how we are with things. We don’t want to ...

by 29 mins ago

Earlier this morning on the holiest of holy album release days (at least if you’re a Swiftie), Taylor Swift popped by VH1′s “Big Morning Buzz Live” to discuss new music, New York, and a couple old memories. Apparently, host Nick Lachey handed Taylor her very first American Music Award back in 2008. Seriously! It happened. GOOGLE IT.

Watch Tyler Oakley’s Totally Fetch Homecoming Acceptance Speech

by 31 mins ago

The votes have been cast, the ballots were counted and this year’s MTV Homecoming King and Queen are Tyler Oakley and Demi Lovato.

While both celebs took to Twitter immediately following their wins, Tyler wanted to send an extra special thanks to #TeamInternet for their tireless support.

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for voing for me. We made it all the way to the end and now I am Homecoming King,” the YouTuber said in his video acceptance. “It might be the first time I’ve ever been called King instead of Queen but I’ll take it.”

Speaking of royalty, Tyler paid homage to the Queen Bees of “Mean Girls” in his piece, referencing Lindsay Lohan’s character Cady Heron’s Spring Fling coronation.

“I wish I had a crown I could break up into a million pieces, I would give each and every one of you a piece,” he laughed. “I don’t because this is a virtual win so I will just give you my love through the Internet.”

As a Producer for MTV News, Cory covers the world of pop (hence the bubbles ...). During his tenure with MTV, he has interviewed an array of stars including Rihanna, One Direction and Taylor Swift (but is still counting the days until he can sit-down with Mariah Carey).

Melanie Iglesias’ Storm Costume Brings Heat To Halloween

by 3 mins ago

The next “X-Men” movie, “X-Men: Apocalypse,” will be set in the 1980s, which means it’s recasting the role of Storm, along with Cyclops and Jean Grey. And while Lupita Nyong’o may be the fan favorite to take over Halle Berry’s role, Melanie Iglesias from “Girl Code,” “Guy Code” and “Off the Bat from the MLB Fan Cave” just proved she can rock Ororo Munroe’s costume.

At midnight, Melanie gave her 723,000 Twitter followers a sneak preview:

By 4:17, though, Melanie stepped out of character:

Turns out, she isn’t Halloween’s biggest fan:

OK, geeks, time to take a cold shower. Get it? “Cold”? Because Storm controls the weather?

Wiz Khalifa Cameos On Cozmo’s First Major Single: Listen

by 13 mins ago

Producer Cozmo steps out from behind the digital audio workstation and enters the recording booth for his first major single as a rapper, “What Dreams Are Made Of.”

The Taylor Gang spitter from the Bay Area gets some assistance from AVRY and Wiz Khalifa on the D Wells and The Elevaterz-produced track. Listen to it below.

“Late nights locked in the studio, I know I’m great, but gotta prove it, though/ To shine on these b—hes and these groupie hoes, that used to play that bourgeois role,” he raps.

The Blacc Hollywood MC adds some very contemplative lyrics that seem to delve into his embattled personal life.

“I’m going through some things, but I gotta eat, people hit my phone hopin’ I’m good to speak/ That’s what family does, pick you up, help you when you weak,” he raps.

What Dreams Are Made Of, which features Twista and Cyhi The Prince, is slated to be released in January.

Watch A Cat Dressed As Princess Jasmine Ride A Roomba Magic Carpet Because Internet

by 23 mins ago

What would the Disney Princesses be like on Instagram? What would they look like if they were characters on “Orange Is The New Black”? Thanks to the Internet, we’ve seen Princess Jasmine and the gang do damn near everything — except for “be a cat riding a Roomba that’s been disguised to look like a magic carpet.”

That changes today, thanks to YouTube user TexasGirl1979 and her Snowshoe cat, Max-Arthur. Sure, mixing Disney Princesses with cats on film might break the Internet forever, but at least it’s better than “Disney Princesses as piles of rocks.”

Happy Halloween, Internet. ^o.o^

Snooki Introduces Baby Giovanna To The World: See The First Pic!

by 43 mins ago

Girl, meet the world.

Nicole Polizzi is finally showing off her little lamb chop, Giovanna Marie LaValle. After an entire month of eagerly awaiting a pic of the newborn’s punim (that tiny hand was such a tease!), “Snooki & JWOWW” fans can now release the chorus of ooohs and awwws they reserved for the mini-guidette’s coming out.

Oooooooh. Awwwwwwwww.

Snooki and Jionni were clearly meant to procreate. Not only is Giovanna beautiful, but she looks just like her big bro Lorenzo! Could this family get any cuter?

Yes, actually, they can. And they’re about to.

Snionni are scheduled to tie the knot VERY shortly, and just picturing their son as ring bearer and daughter as flower girl is enough to moisten our eyes and declare open season on our own baby factories. The best part? We’ll all have a front-row view of the wedding — and Giovanna’s birth! — during the final season of “Snooki & JWOWW,” premiering November 5.

Scenes From The ‘Hills’ Sequel That Never Was

by 36 mins ago

By Laura Franco

Fact No. 1: Life hasn’t been the same since “The Hills” came to an end.

Fact No. 2: A new city always brings new drama.

Although it’s been years since we’ve seen Audrina Patridge get involved in a heated argument outside Les Deux, she caused quite a scene this past weekend in Los Angeles. On Saturday night, the “1st Look” host was spotted sobbing uncontrollably alongside on-again, off-again beau Corey Bohan after a visit to Hyde nightclub.

The erstwhile MTV star denies any rumors of a lovers’ quarrel (and claims it was all a misunderstanding over a tardy Uber pickup), leaving many to wonder: What exactly happened? We can only guess what was said that left Audrina in tears:

1. “Dude, I told you we should have stuck with Lyft.”

Unknown-3FameFlynet

2. “Wait, what? I can’t believe you just admitted your love for candy corn.”

Unknown-4FameFlynet

3. “Taylor Swift‘s ‘1989still hasn’t downloaded to my iPhone and everything is RUINED.”

4. Corey: “So, FYI, Benedict Cumberbatch is apparently in talks to play ‘Dr. Strange.’”
Audrina: “Okay, now I am literally crying tears of joy. I’ve never been so happy.”

Here’s hoping Audrina’s night of fright ended with a smile!

Lil’ Kim, Missy Elliott And Da Brat Plan Another Ladies Night

by 13 mins ago

By Christopher Harris

Oh what a night. On Monday (October 27) BET and CENTRIC announced that hip-hop heroines Lil’ Kim, Missy Elliott and Da Brat will reunite to perform their 1997 single “Not Tonight” at the 2014 Soul Train Awards, which will air on November 30.

“Not Tonight” originally appeared on Lil Kim’s debut album Hard Core, but was rereleased with a new beat and verses from Kim, Da Brat, Missy, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes and Angie Martinez and retagged the “Ladies Night Remix.” They all took the stage to perform the iconic track for the first time at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1997 and this year, they’ll return to the stage, but without Power 105.1’s Martinez and Lopes, who passed away in 2002.

While the track is a welcomed throwback, the “Ladies Night” MCs have been making noise of late. Last month, Kim released there latest mixtape, Hard Core 2k14, and Missy has recently reemerged for a slew of performances, including a spotting at Alexander Wang’s H&M collection debut.

The reunion will take place November 7 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. The 2014 Soul Train Awards will air on BET Networks and CENTRIC, November 30 at 8p.m. EST.

Swifties, Taylor Totally Knows You’re BFFs, And It’s Blowing Her Mind

by 10 mins ago

Sure, the album you’ve been waiting for, 1989, is finally here, but let’s reflect on the ingenious lead-up to the album’s release that Taylor Swift planned for her fans. Like the fact hundreds of you lucky Swifties ACTUALLY GOT TO GO TO TAYLOR’S HOUSE. And eat her homemade cookies.

It was beyond, right?? All the secret listening sessions Taylor invited fans to, the livestream where she announced she was going full-time pop star, the emphasis on Polaroids… I’m getting nostalgic! Oh, the memories. (Okay, I wasn’t personally invited, but I SWEAR I’M NOT BITTER! I SWEAR!) But as it turns out, all of these bits of nostalgia, memories and intimate get-togethers led to some IRL friendships between Swifties.

Once you’ve had the lifechanging opportunity to go to Taylor Swift’s house and listen to 1989 WITH TAYLOR SWIFT (and her cat), you’ve got two choice: 1.) Die. Or 2.) Become IRL BFFs with your fellow Swifties (which is better than dying, obviously), and that’s exactly what happened, and that’s exactly what Taylor loves about the experience.

“One of the things that really blew my mind about the secret sessions is how much unity it brought to groups of people involved,” Taylor told MTV News during her sit-down interview with Jack Antonoff in L.A. on Friday, October 24.
