When it comes to updates on his new music, videos or graffiti, Chris Brown is a great source of information. But… if you’re looking for reliable, timely news on the Ebola epidemic, Breezy is not really your guy. See, on Monday (October 13), amid news that a second person in the U.S. had tested positive for the deadly virus after coming into contact with the nation’s first patient, who is now deceased, CB took to Twitter to spout his conspiracy theory on the spread of the disease that has killed thousands in Africa.

Perhaps he was following up on an idea that controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan floated last month when he called the spread of Ebola a plot to attack black Americans?

Wherever he got his inspiration, not long after suggesting that the arrival of Ebola on U.S. shores was a conspiracy, it seems like Brown had a change of heart.

Ebola is spread through direct contact with a sick person’s bodily fluids or exposure to contaminated objects. Ebola sufferers are not contagious until symptoms appear.

For reliable, timely information the origins of Ebola, as well as updates and tips on signs and symptoms, visit the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention.

Often guilty, never convicted. Serving 15 years to life at MTV News.

This weekend marked the passing of another New York Comic-Con, where thousands of fans packed into the Javits Center to hear the latest news about “The Walking Dead,” “Big Hero 6,” “Tomorrowland” and more fan exclusives.

While the spotlight was on the panels of the weekend, we’d like to shine another on the tiniest stars of the con: attendees’ fingernails.

Thanks to the League of Lacquer booth on the convention floor, staffed by top-notch nail artists and offering mini-manis, NYCC attendees rocked the most delightfully geeky manicurers we’ve ever seen. Here are a few of our favorites.

Baymax is cute even as nail art.

Friendship is magic, and so is this manicure.

This Batman-themed mani isn’t Joker-ing around.

Mario’s Princess Peach gets the royal treatment with this nail art.

Tina!

Thor, God of Nail Thunder.

The real Springfield is in this mani.

Only an Animaniac would wear these nails.

This vampire mani doesn’t suck.

Betty and Archie get the lacquer treatment.

A truly super set of nails.

Taylor Swift has accomplished a lot of things in her life. She’s a singer, a songwriter and an actress, but there is one thing she may not be adding to the list anytime soon, if ever, and that is: mother.

The “Shake It Off” singer opened up to InStyle magazine about how having children may not be in her future.

“I don’t know if I’ll have kids,” she tells the magazine. “It’s impossible not to picture certain scenarios and how you would try to convince them that they have a normal life when, inevitably, there will be strange men pointing giant cameras at them from the time they are babies.”

And if she’s not thinking babies, you can pretty much guarantee she’s not thinking about marriage either, because at 24, she’s “too young.”

“I’m too young to get married,” she admitted. “Not agewise, but I know myself, so why try to meet someone right now when I know I’m too young to do something serious?”

Right now, the pop star, who just teased us with her new 1989 song “Out of the Woods,” is focusing on the most important person in her life: herself.

“I made the decision to spend time on my own and figure out who I am,” she told People magazine. “When you take the other person out of the scenario and you’re walking through life on your own, you end up figuring out what you actually like without anyone else’s input.”

She continued, ...

As the “Terminator” series has grown, understanding how every installment relates to others has become increasingly complicated. Now, the sort-of reboot “Terminator: Genisys” makes thinks even more mixed up (and I’m not even talking about the title’s spelling problem).

So far this is what we know. The actors playing Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) and Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) are both almost 20 years younger than the person playing their son John (Jason Clarke). Also, the robot (Arnold Schwarzenegger) who tried to kill them all and then saved them is about 30 years older now than when he first appeared.

I understand that there’s time travel involved, but there needs to be one hell of an explanation for all of that.

And while he couldn’t spill all the details, when we talked to Courtney, he told us not to sweat them.

“There might be some costume or something like that is reminiscent [of Michael Biehn's Kyle Reese], but it’s like any reboot/sequel/reset — whatever you want to call it — you’re going to have different people playing those roles,” he said. “Obviously, Emilia Clarke is in as Sarah Connor. Jason [Clarke] doesn’t look like Edward Furlong, but I don’t think it matters.”

So essentially, things will match up where it counts, but there’s no accounting for every little detail. I’ll accept that.

“Terminator: Genisys” opens in theaters on July 1, 2015.

What would you do if a spontaneous dance party broke out during your morning commute? Bury your face further into your book? Angrily jam down on your headphone to drown out the blaringly happy jam undulating through your train car? Or, I don’t know, join in?

That’s what Peter Sharp set out to discover in the newest video from the Australian social performance artist. Sharp starts out the video by standing up on a crowded train, dressed in a snazzy suit. When he begins speaking, you can almost feel the physical discomfort of the other passengers (people talking loudly on trains never results in anything good), until you hear what he’s saying, “I don’t want money, I just want to spread a bit of happiness.”

The above statement still sounds a little suspect, until Sharp begins dancing and the rest of the passengers — miraculously — begin dancing and clapping (slightly off-beat), too.

According to Mashable, Sharp’s whole MO is bringing joy to unlikely places — in unlikely situations. He started his whole mission in Spain, hitchhiking from Barcelona to Croatia in a business suit, busting out dance parties along the way.

Perhaps your subway car is next?
