5 Burning Questions For The New ‘Twilight’ Movies

by 32 mins ago

We’ve had nearly a full day to process the fact that there are going to be more “Twilight” movies, and man, what a day it’s been. We’ve freaked out and tweeted about every single one of the feels we’ve felt, and recalled all the false starts for sequels and reboots in the past few years, and now we’ve finally arrived here.

Now that we’ve calmed down a bit, we have a few questions. Now that the stage is set for five new mini-movies to continue the saga, we have a few requests.

1. What happened to Edward and Bella?

Did our favorite vamp duo life happily ever (and ever and ever and ever) after? When we left off, Bella was vampified and a tentative peace brokered in the immortal world. Are Edward and Bella still hanging out being all in love and telepathic? We’d like to at least get a hint of what the newest Cullen is up to.

2. Will there be a new love triangle?

The geometry of Bella/Edward/Jacob will go down in history, but will subsequent installments introduce a new triangle with new twists? No points will be awarded if loose ends are tied up by one character becoming another character member’s kid’s soulmate. That only works once.

3. Will we learn more about the mythology of the original characters?

We’re still missing background for a of the characters we’ve come to know and love. For example, Alice. We ...

Ethan Hawke Told Us He Wants To Be Doctor Strange

by 6 mins ago

The latest casting rumor floating around about who will be the Sorcerer Supreme in Marvel Studios’ “Doctor Strange” names Ethan Hawke, which is something that many fans dreamed up shortly after Scott Derrickson was hired as director.

While I don’t really buy the new rumor (and still have my fingers crossed for Joaquin Phoenix), we asked Hawke back in July if he would be up for the role, and he seemed more than game.

Check out the interview above!

“Doctor Strange” is scheduled to hit theaters on July 8, 2016.

Writer/editor for MTV. If it involves cowboys, spies, or hitmen, I'm there. All three would be ideal.

Michelle Obama Wants To Help Make Your Design Dreams Come True

by 16 mins ago

On Tuesday (Sept. 30), Michelle Obama opened up her home—you know, the White House—for a luncheon celebrating excellence in American design. The event served as a venue for the Cooper Hewitt National Design Awards—now in its 14th year—which provides a platform to honor our country’s most creative and prescient design minds with categories running the gamut from Fashion Design to Landscape Architecture. Winners are judged on excellence, innovation, and enhancement of the quality of life.

Giving a little extra shine to award recipient Narcisco Rodriguez, Michelle made a point to wear a sleeveless, aubergine sheath dress created by the designer. Speaking about the honoree, FLOTUS revealed that Rodriguez’s parents tried to convince him to follow a career in law or medicine but followed it up perfectly, adding, “I’m sure that I speak for all women when I say that I’m grateful that Narciso chose another path.”

The First Lady’s involvement comes from a deep-seated desire to inspire and educate our nation’s young people with big design dreams. On top of this week’s luncheon, Michelle will host the first Fashion Education Workshop at the White House on October 8—a five-hour event that will bring together a wide breadth of attendees including high school and college students, fashion editors, magazine editors and “fashion technologists.” The workshop lands smack dab in the middle of National Design Week (October 4-12), which will culminate with the National Design Awards Gala benefit and awards ceremony held at ...

Miles Teller Reveals The Struggles Of Casting The ‘Fantastic Four’ Reboot

by 18 mins ago

The Josh Trank-directed “Fantastic Four” reboot hits theaters in ten months, and fans haven’t even seen an official photo of the newly assembled team. Since the movie is shrouded in such a thick cloak of secrecy, we jumped at the opportunity to find out as much as we could from the new Mr. Fantastic, Miles Teller.

When Teller sat down with us to talk about his new film “Whiplash,” he also filled us in on how he ended up in the role of Reed Richards.

According to the actor, Michael B. Jordan joining as the Human Torch was the very first hire, due to his previous working relationship with Trank on “Chronicle.” The decision has definitely gotten some backlash by race-obsessed fans on the web, but Teller doesn’t see the point. “I think it’s great. It is a big thing,” he said. “You’re changing the race of a character. It’s like, ‘Why couldn’t the Human Torch be black?’”

Even though he came on after Jordan, Teller still met with Trank a year before production started, supposedly the only person to do so for the role, but it took some effort to win over the studio.

“It took a lot of convincing. For me with Reed Richards, I know Josh really had to [pull for me],” Teller said. “Josh did for all of the characters. For Jamie, he really vouched for [him]. For Mike, he was like, ‘This is my guy’ from the bat. He was very specific on who ...

The Childish Gambino And Chance The Rapper EP Is On Hold

by 20 mins ago

It felt a little too good to be true, and maybe it was: It looks like the collaborative EP between Childish Gambino and Chance the Rapper won’t be dropping any time soon.

“We’re both really busy,” Gambino said when asked about the project by Complex. “Chance is kind of doing his own thing with the college tour and everything. Right now, it just doesn’t feel like the time. Plus, we’re in two different spaces.”

That doesn’t mean we won’t be getting new music from Donald Glover soon, though. The Georgia native has a new mixtape with DJ Drama, STN MNTN/ KAUAI, plus an EP on the way.

“It’s a Gangsta Grillz mixtape that goes into an EP,” he explained. “The Gangsta Grillz mixtape is sort of like — it’s a dream. And the dream ends when I wake up in Kauai. And they go into each other — it’s one complete project. You can download the mixtape, and you can go buy the EP. The money from the EP goes to help with keeping Kauai clean, and also helps with getting audio and visual device for cops policy.”

Earlier this month, he released the singing-heavy “Sober (rough),” which appears to be off of the tape.

Wu-Tang Clan’s A Better Tomorrow Album Comes With Another Unique Rollout Plan

by 28 mins ago

When you succeed in selling one single album for $5 million, then there’s no going back to normal, right? Wu-Tang Clan is gearing up to release their anniversary album, A Better Tomorrow, and in addition to revealing the potential release date, RZA also shared another unique roll-out plan that he came up with.

The anticipated project will tentatively arrive on Black Friday, November 28, and you can buy a hard copy, or just wait for the boombox edition. RZA told Billboard that in addition to the traditional releases, the group will also drop a limited Wu-edition Boombot Rex speaker.

The small speaker will come loaded with eight songs from the album, in addition to the exclusive track “Big Horn B” and two instrumentals, which won’t be available on the actual album. The speaker will only be sold at Zumiez, and only 3000 of them will be made in total.

“The full-length album should be available by Black Friday. It’s a record to me that merges the way music was made in the classic essence, in an analog way,” RZA explained. “As well as merging what’s going down the digital way. All the entire 10 Clan members are on it.”

“All the [living] members, which is a beautiful thing,” he added. “And the album has a small concept in a sense, musically it travels from a guy who is going through difficulties, tries to find himself, gets involved with some violence, some troubles, but then realizes that it’s ...

Jennifer Lopez On The Year Of The Booty: ‘It’s About Time’

by 1 min ago

With reporting by James Lacsina

It’s pretty safe to say that 2014 will be remembered as the year of the booty.

Yes, it was all about the butts this year, from Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda,” to Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass,” and of course Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea’s appropriately titled track, “Booty.”

Now, one can argue that no one works the booty quite like J.Lo, just ask ex-boyfriend Diddy. Jennifer brought the sexiness, along with hot oil, butt slaps and signature dance moves, to her “Booty” video, which celebrated the almighty derrière, and she is more than excited that people are loving beautiful backsides.

“It’s about time. It’s the year of the booty, for Christ’s sake, it’s been so long,” Jennifer told MTV News. “Before we were just considered like heavy, like we weren’t ‘in shape’ or whatever if you had a big butt or something. So now it’s kind of nice that people are embracing womanly curves in that way.”

Jennifer has never been one to shy away from showing off her famous assets, but there was a time when a lot of people considered her “different” from other women.

“Years ago when I came out to LA to act, and sing and dance and be on ‘In Living Color’ and all that stuff, I was considered heavy,” she revealed. “My thighs were too big, my butt was too big, I had a small waist, I wasn’t like everybody else and ...

‘Faking It’ Fans, Here’s How To Get A #Karmy Shirt Of Your Own

by 21 mins ago

As you probably know, Faking It returned last week, and we’re excited. Like, so excited. After the premiere last week, I have very high hopes for the outfits this season, and that’s thanks to Beth Ann Hoppe, Season Two’s costume designer. I was lucky enough to chat with Beth about last night’s episode, including Amy’s overalls and those #Karmy sleepover shirts.

Faking ItMTV


While some Amy’s crippling guilt from last week has abated, her on point style has not, thankfully. Beth said she thinks of Amy as a “feminine tomboy,” which I’d agree with, especially given those overalls she wore last night. They were like normal jeans with a bib and suspenders attached and, um, kinda perfect. Beth revealed she actually found the overalls at Wet Seal on her first shopping trip for the show—talk about something Amy is meant to wear, right? Yeah.

Faking ItMTV


She expanded on her fondness for the ’90s style, saying, “The new ’90s silhouette is much more fitted, streamlined, and modern compared to the slouchy grunge overalls I wore in high school.” She also revealed who she looks to as inspiration for Amy, calling out “Alexa Chung, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Lou Doillon—women who can definitely pull off masculine looks without looking masculine.”

The other noteworthy look from the episode—besides that fleeting glance we got at Shane’s Frozen costume, obviously—were the #Karmy shirts Leila and Lisbeth wore to crash Karma and Amy’s ...

Ever since Taylor Swift launched her Keds collection last year, she’s been steadily releasing one killer design after another. From sequin-covered polka dots to subtle songbirds to multi-colored roses, we thought she had covered ALL her bases by now, but our favorite cat lady just had to throw in a pair of feline-inspired kicks—with the help of her new kitten Olivia Benson.

The black sneakers feature a “Sneaky Cat” peeping out from the bottom of the sole complete with two sets of laces, an official Taylor Swift charm, and “12-13-89” written (in her handwriting!) on the heel of the shoe. The best part? OLIVIA EVEN TOOK THEM FOR A SPIN.
