Why Is Jimmy Iovine Feeling ‘Lucky’ About The NFL’s Beats By Dre Ban

by 4 mins ago

When the NFL announced that it had banned its players from wearing non-Bose headphones during games, as well as televised pre- or post-game appearances, Beats by Dre would have been justified if they were upset. A lot of players have made a habit of wearing the popular headphones during warm-ups and at the podium after games. But it sounds like they’ve taken the news in another way.

“We didn’t do anything, and now the players are going out and putting black tape on our logo,” the company’s co-founder, Jimmy Iovine, said during a talk at University of Southern California’s Global Conversation, according to Business Insider. “It’s like, I can’t believe I’m this lucky. I feel like sending them the tape.”

After his San Francisco 49ers played against the St. Louis Rams on Monday night, quarterback Colin Kaepernick wore a pair of the headphones with a piece of tape over the logo. The previous week, he was fined $10,000 for wearing the headphonens in a post-game press conference — with the logo showing.

“What happened there, you have a tech company that’s culturally inept,” Iovine added, making reference to Bose. “There’s no one at the company that said, ‘If you ban these guys, you’re going to look bad to the young people, and they’re going to look like superheroes even though they’re just pure capitalists — well they’re not pure capitalists, but they’re real capitalists and [they] sold that company to Apple — but you’re going to make them ...

Jay Z, Beyonce And Beyonce’s Bangs Go Gallery-Hopping

by 11 mins ago

Because not even the highest of high-profile photo shoots can compare with hitting up a museum and using the art as a backdrop for Instagram gold, Beyoncé and husband Jay Z took pictures at a bunch of galleries while on vacation in London.

Also, art is culturally enriching and stuff. But whatever, back to the photos.

Posted on the “Flawless” singer’s website on Thursday (October 16), the pics were taken at the annual Frieze Art Fair, the recently opened Marian Goodman Gallery and the David Zwirner. You know, just in case you wanna recreate everything she did the next time you’re in the U.K. (I know you do.) Step one, get super-short Bettie Page bangs. Step two…

This reflective work needed more Beyoncé. Good thinking.

Where is your Instagram, Jay, and why is this not on it?

Kim Kardashian Appears On ’2 Broke Girls’ As A Very Un-Broke Girl: See The Pic

by 14 mins ago

Kim Kardashian is taking a break from being a reality star to try her hand as a TV star.

Mrs. West is making an appearance on the CBS sitcom “2 Broke Girls,” and we finally got our first look at Kim on set. Of course, in the pic she’s looking nothing short of flawless in a white dress, with cut-outs on the shoulder as she flashes a small at the shows stars, Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs, during a visit to their cupcake shop.

North’s mom couldn’t wait for fans to see the episode when she shot it back in August, and got rave reviews from the cast.

Kim, who follows Martha Stewart, 2 Chainz and Lindsay Lohan as guest stars on the sitcom, makes her “Broke Girls” debut on October 27, the season-four premiere. According to executive producer Michael Patrick King, Kim will be playing herself in the episode titled “And The Reality Problem.”

“There are the typical ’2 Broke Girls’ jokes all about [the Kardashians] in the episode,” King told TVLine. “So it’s fun to see someone have a great sense of humor about herself. She read the script, she thought it was funny and she came. We could’ve [shot] the exact same [episode] without her — but she was the cherry on top.”

Cam’ron Made An ‘Ebola Mask’ (With His Face On It)

by 14 mins ago

Considering the growing public concern about Ebola, it was only a matter of time before celebrities starting talking about the virus. Chris Brown shared his conspiracy theories earlier this week and now Cam’ron has decided to take a cautious yet, um, “fashionable” approach to preventing its spread.

Early this morning, Cam shared this mirror selfie on Instagram, with the caption “Ebola is no joking matter..So if u have to be safe.. Be fashionable.” Oh, that image on his face mask, err, #CamEbolaMask? A picture of himself wearing a pink fur coat and matching headband, natch. The iconic picture may be over a decade old–that pink flip phone, though–but the mask is brand new.

EXCLUSIVE: There’s No Escaping This Creepy Cult In New YA Horror ‘Creed’

by 26 mins ago

There’s no shortage of scary shenanigans happening in “Creed,” a YA horror novel by Lindsay Currie and Trisha Leaver that will release early next month. It starts with the classic horror trope of a teen road trip gone wrong, then takes a sharp left turn into a community full of maniacal zealots, led by a deranged preacher who’s one of the most terrifying characters ever to grace a page. We’d rather take a year-long gig teaching botany to the “Children of the Corn” than take a gas-and-bathroom break on a sunny day in Purity Springs.

What makes “Creed” so terrifying? For one, its monsters are human.

“Not that we don’t love a good fanged monster, or a creepy ghost story, but we believe the darkness that surrounds us every day is far more terrifying than any paranormal creature Hollywood could dream up,” Currie and Leaver told MTV News via email. “It’s the evil that lingers within a chosen few, their dark paths and tortured existence, that we try to capture. What can we say . . . we like to explore the darker side of humanity.”

And when it comes to their debut novel, things get awfully dark, awfully fast.

“Here’s fair warning,” the authors wrote. “The ending of ‘Creed’ is unsettling, disturbing, and all too real. These towns really do exist. Side note – always keep a tire iron in your trunk.”

This Pic Of Kristin Cavallari’s Sons Holding Hands Will Cause Spontaneous Cooing

by 24 mins ago

Forget blood oaths or spit-soaked handshakes — the real way to cement a brotherhood is to hold hands while chugging milk. Bonding AND your daily recommended serving of calcium!

Proud mom Kristin Cavallari, who gave birth to her second son Jaxon in May, remains hard at work perfecting her shoe collection, but that didn’t stop her from catching her kids in a moment this week that was so cute, it could have conceivably stopped traffic. LET THE ADORING BEGIN.

KrisMilkKristin Cavallari's Instagram

“The boys holding hands while they drink their milk. I can’t handle it ❤️❤️” K-Cav wrote with the photo above, in which Jax and Camden link up from thumb to pinky while enjoying their beverages of choice. Man, a soldering iron couldn’t have cemented those hands together more tightly. Does this mean we can expect an expertly choreographed handshake by year’s end?

And hey, maybe Jax can tag along to the zoo next time his big bro and mom and dad make the trip. Bear in mind, though, kid, holding hands with the wildlife will not do you any favors. We know that orangutan has his arm outstretched, but…

Take a look at Kristin’s sons making an early declaration of friendship, and feel free to “aww” in the comments!

‘The Book Of Life’: What Do Critics Say About Channing Tatum’s New Film?

by 4 mins ago

After headlining the decidedly un-PG flick “22 Jump Street” last June, Channing Tatum is back with an animated love story, “The Book of Life,” that might prove to be a better viewing option for his one-year-old daughter.

However, is the Jorge Gutierrez-directed, Guillermo del Toro-produced musical comedy worth the price of admission? Find out what the critics have to say below:

A Love Story
“Manolo (voiced by Diego Luna) yearns to be a musician, but hails from a legendary line of bullfighters. He’s in love with the independent Maria (Zoe Saldana), but so is Joaquin (Channing Tatum), a soldier obsessed with his medals (and his mustache). Above it all, La Muerte and Xibalba, skeletal spirits from the afterlife, wager over who will win Maria’s heart.

“For a kiddie flick, ‘The Book of Life’ pushes boundaries, as the topic of death is undeniably front and center. But like Mexico’s Day of the Dead, the movie enjoyably, and successfully, mixes the macabre with the celebratory.” — Jordan Hoffman, Daily News

A Visual Delight
“Produced by Guillermo del Toro, ‘The Book of Life’ is a winsome ode to Mexico’s Day of the Dead. It’s bolstered by a giddy voice cast (including Diego Luna and Zoe Saldana) that elevates the formulaic plot about a hero’s quest for true love, and it’s that rare gem of a ‘toon that delights both child and adult. Overflowing with hyperactive charm and a spectacular sea of colors, it showcases some of the most breathtaking animation we’ve seen this decade.” — ...

7 ‘Game Of Thrones’ Flashbacks We Need To See Next Season

by 20 mins ago

It’s confirmed: “Game of Thrones” is going back to the past.

The fifth season of HBO’s fantasy series will feature flashbacks, for the first time ever, as confirmed by show runners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. “By making the first season, we set a rule: No prophecies, dreams or flashbacks,” they told film students in Spain during a recent Q&A (via EW). “We failed the first two and this season the third. So yes, this season will finally have flashbacks.”

That’s great news, because there’s so much of Westeros’ history that we want to see on-screen — and characters we want to revisit. Here are seven of the flashbacks we’re dying to see.

1. When Cersei Met Maggy

Cersei LannisterHBO

Well, this one’s happening. Rumors persist that the “Game of Thrones” premiere’s flashback scene will center on young Cersei’s prophetic encounter with a woman called Maggy the Frog, who offers an ominous tease of Cersei’s future. No spoilers, but it doesn’t sound so good for the Queen Regent of Westeros.

2. The Tower of Joy

Eddard StarkHBO

Eddard Stark’s battle against Ser Arthur Dayne and other members of the Targaryen-appointed Kingsguard stands out as one of the most fan-favorite moments in Westeros lore. Theories suggest that the battle ends with the birth of one of our beloved characters, too; a flashback could confirm or deny those theories. Plus, who could say no to a visit from Sean Bean?

3. The Battle of the Trident

Robert BaratheonHBO

There’s so ...

Taylor Swift Wrote Lena Dunham’s ‘Someday Wedding Song’: See The Lyrics

by 32 mins ago

Taylor Swift shared even more 1989 lyrics on Friday morning (October 17), as she has been in the days leading up to the release of her fifth album. But this time, there’s a turn of adorable events. Lena Dunham tweeted that those words belong to her future wedding song.

Swift unveiled the lyrics to her bonus track — “One night, he wakes/ Strange look on his face/ Pauses, then says/ ‘You’re my best friend’/ And you know what is was/ He is in love.” The handwritten words sit atop a bed of roses, and there’s not doubt that this is a love story.

In the wee hours of the morning (seriously, ladies, how do you stay awake?), BFF Lena tweeted, “my someday wedding song, as you know.”

It’s more than enough to fan-fictionalize Dunham’s wedding with boyfriend Jack Antonoff, though Lena has said they won’t wed until it is legal for her gay sister Grace to marry. Since Antonoff is a collaborator and bud of Taylor’s (he co-wrote and produced “Out of the Woods“), I can imagine that T.S. would be on hand at the reception to sing that sucker live.

Fingers crossed for you guys!

1989 drops on October 27.

Blake Lively Has Wanted To Be Pregnant ‘Since I Was A Little Girl’

by 31 mins ago

Blake Lively debuted her baby bump on the God’s Love We Deliver, Golden Heart Awards red carpet in New York City on Thursday night. The actress sparkled in a pink and purple dress, smiling and posing for pictures.

The actress announced her pregnancy earlier in October on her lifestyle website Preserve, with pictures of an autumnal harvest party and several pregnant friends gathered around.

“It’s something that I’ve always wanted ever since I was a little girl,” she told Us Weekly about her pregnancy. “I never knew what I wanted to do for a living but I knew I wanted to have a lot of kids because I had come from a big family, so it was always important to me. So it’s just the excitement of that finally being here.”

“Big family”? It seems like this is just the beginning for Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds, who married in September 12 at the Boone Hall Plantation, just outside of Charleston, South Carolina.

“He’s always good to me,” Lively said. “That’s like a jerky thing to say because you want to be able to complain about your husband and be that person, but he takes pretty good care of me.”
