Fans of the dynamic relationship between Mystique (Raven/Jennifer Lawrence) and Beast (Hank McCoy/Nicholas Hoult) in 2011′s “X-Men: First Class” might have been a bit disappointed by last summer’s sequel “X-Men: Days of Future Past” — since the film jumps around between decades and focuses on a plethora of characters, the two former lovebirds don’t really get a chance to interact.

However, when Hoult sat down with MTV News to discuss his latest film “Young Ones,” he quickly shut down the rumor mill by letting us know that there were some juicy scenes shot with his real-life ex, they just happened to hit the cutting room floor.

“There were another couple of scenes which got cut, because they didn’t work technically in terms of the geography of how the movie played out in the end,” Hoult said. “Why [Mystique and Beast] would be here — when the world is about to end — and then we’ve nipped home quickly to have a good night’s sleep. Everyone was like, ‘well, we can’t really do that.’ So there were a couple of extra scenes which got cut, unfortunately.”

Bummer! But don’t give up on those bright blue babies just yet — according to Hoult, 2016′s “X-Men: Apocalypse” might pay more attention to that unfortunately neglected relationship.

“I think they’ll try and figure out a way to develop it more in the next one,” he concluded.

“X-Men: Days of Future Past” is out on DVD and Blu-ray on October 14.

Jacquie Lee is busting out on her own. And, equipped with powerful vocals and the smarts of an industry vet, she’s finding no problem doing so.

After finishing “The Voice” as a runner-up, the 17-year-old singer signed with Atlantic Records/300 Entertainment, and it wasn’t long before Lee gushed her heart into Broken Ones, her EP that’s streaming right now on MTV before its release on October 21.

“I would describe it as real, raw music,” Jacquie told MTV News when we asked her for the scoop on her EP. “It’s very honest, in my opinion. It’s totally real ‘cause that’s my biggest concern. I wanted people to listen to real music and real lyrics so that they could relate to it. Everything came from the heart.”

Broken Ones begins with the title track, a strong ballad about accepting human flaws. “Tears Fall” follows, and it’s equally as honest, allowing people to know it’s OK to feel pain. After all, that’s how you get through life’s hiccups, like breakups.

“It’s a part of life,” a wizened Jacquie told us matter-of-factly.

There’s a reason for the clarity in her music. After listening to a lot of Adele and Sam Smith (she loves Radiohead too), she realized the music she relates to most is the stuff she can sing along to and actually mean what she says.

“Music has the power to move people and do things, but in order for that to happen, it needs to be honest,” Jacquie said. “Otherwise, you’re going to ...

Usher is the life of the party — every party. Throughout his entire career, the superstar singer has given us timeless dance hits and supplied us with the moves to go with them, so for his 36th birthday we decided to send those good vibes right back.

Happy birthday, Usher — today we’re throwing you the ultimate UR dance party, because it’s your special day and no one else can cut a rug quite like you.

That was a great party man!

“It was claustrophobic and incredibly intense — like, tight-wire intense.”

That’s how Chad L. Coleman describes how his big scene at the cabin from the “Walking Dead” season five premiere came together. In the scene, Coleman’s Tyreese squares off against a gum-chewing goon named Martin (played by Chris Coy), a resident of Terminus with a penchant for trash talk. Martin eventually gets his hands around baby Judith’s neck and uses her as a bargaining chip to get Tyreese out of the cabin, and toward a pack of walkers.

The gambit pays off, but what Martin doesn’t count on is Tyreese’s ability to clear out multiple zombies with nothing more than his hands. When Tyreese finishes the walkers, he bursts back into the cabin and punches Martin’s face repeatedly; Tyreese later tells Carol that he killed Martin, though we never see the body.

As it plays out on screen, it’s exactly as Coleman describes: incredibly intense. And the shoot was no different, what with an actual baby on set. Speaking with MTV News, Coleman explained that the baby Judith actress’ parents were on set during the shoot, and a fake double was used as much as possible.

“Chris was on pins and needles about it,” Coleman said of his co-star having to put his hands on the baby’s neck. “The physical act of having to put his hands around her neck, that was only done once. We got her crying, we got his reaction, we got him moving towards ...
