LAS VEGAS- Ed Sheeran may not have been targeted in the latest celebrity photo hack, but he knows what it feels like and it’s straight up “creepy.”

The “Don’t” singer was on hand at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Saturday, and defended those caught in the flurry of these scandals, because he at one point, was hacked as well.

“I think live and let live. I think people should be allowed to do what they want and it’s weird,” he said. “I’ve had my stuff hacked before and its just creepy.”

Nude pictures of Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Hudgens and more were posted on Reddit on Saturday, which follows the massive photo leaks that occurred earlier this month. This invasion of privacy has put some celebrities on guard, and in Ed’s case, it’s really weirded him out.

“I think invasion of privacy on that level is weird and sharing the photos is weird as well,” Ed said, “Because it’s different when it’s like a photo shoot for a magazine because it’s meant for the public if it’s an intimate thing and it’s meant for your partner so all of that stuff creeps me out the fact that everything is up in a cloud you can read it anytime, drunk text messages, videos you might send…”

And speaking of videos, Ed then decided to kind of hack himself, pulling out his phone to show us a “really weird video” of himself, at the age ...

LAS VEGAS- If you are a Directioner, then you are fully aware that in just about a week your ears will be filled with the sweet sounds of One Direction’s brand new single, “Steal My Girl.”

So what can we expect? Well, if you’re into an uptempo song that’s “feel good,” and “got a summer vibe to it,” then this song is totally meant for you, and I mean, who doesn’t love that?

“It’s quite a feel good song and it’s not too far away from the last album [Midnight Memories],” Louis told MTV News backstage at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Saturday. “I think its a good bridge record.”

Louis, who co-wrote the track with Liam, didn’t want to “spoil anything” about giving away the concept behind the single, but they did say that since they’ve taken a hand in writing “almost every song,” on their upcoming album, Four, that there is a true musical progression from their previous efforts.

“I think the main progression is the fact that we are writing more on the songs and we just wanted to make the lyric a little bit more mature,” Zayn said. “And just fit what our personal experiences were right now so thats how we kind of progressed the album right now.”

And the boys, who also released the track, “Fireproof” off the album, will be talking about all those things we want to learn so much more about, like relationships ...

When things get a bit boring for 5SOS, be on the lookout, because clothes may just come off.

A few weeks ago, the guys posted a very cheeky photo, with the caption “rehearsal was getting boring.” Calum and Ashton are seen completely in the nude strategically covering up the goods with their guitars.

But this isn’t anything new for the guys, who, if you check their Instagram feed are pretty much always in their underwear, which is why they find it kind of funny that people are making such a big deal about the pic.

“We didn’t realize it was going to be a thing, we just were posting it,” Michael said to MTV News backstage at the iHeart Radio Music Festival before Luke added. “We didn’t think it was that scandalous, I feel like most of our photos are like that.”

Calum, who, in the wake of the massive celebrity photo scandal, was involved in his own nude hacked photo leak last month added, “I don’t think you can see any nuts or anything.”

But according to Michael, you may want to look closely, because he jokingly added. “Well there was a little bit for Calum, but other than that it was perfectly PG.”

Well that was fun.

Two weeks after delivering a swashbuckling Robin Hood adventure for the ages, “Doctor Who” continued its solid Series 8 run with a straightforward “Oceans Eleven” meets “New Earth” (with a little bit of “X-Men” thrown in for good measure) bank robbery episode, “Time Heist.” Overall, the story really worked, giving the Doctor and Clara one of their most thrilling, fast-paced, and consistently engaging adventures yet as they robbed the galaxy’s most wealthy space-bank.

What’s that, you say? The Doctor and Clara robbed a bank? Well, yes. They did. But the Doctor and his Companion were not after money, and their final act endgame was a fine justification for their morally questionable actions. Let’s dig in to the episode’s biggest moments.

Danny Pink Gets Brushed Aside — Again

BBC America

When the episode began, Clara was preparing to go on yet another (probably crappy) date with Danny Pink. Of course, as we’ve all learned over the past few weeks, where there is Clara getting ready for a date, there is also, without fail, the Doctor getting ready to destroy it.

The Doctor wanted to take Clara on an adventure through time and space (or just to the beach), but a call to the TARDIS quickly changed everybody’s plans. Just as the Doctor picked up and scolded Clara for scolding HIM about the dangers of picking up that mysterious phone, both of them were whisked away to a location ...

As one of rap’s elder statesmen, T.I. has a rolodex thicker than your head.

On his latest mixtape he puts it to good use: every song on G.D.O.D. II features a bevy of hard-hitting guest appearances. Houston legend Trae The Truth unleashes his guttural drawl on several tracks; both Kanye protege Travis Scott and Dro (née Young) appear several times.

Trey Songz‘ croons on “Champaign Room” evoke late-night V.I.P debauchery and Young Thug warbles over the triumphant horns of “I Need War.”

Rich Homie Quan plays a similar role on “Make Me Something” and T.I. also peppers the tape with new verses from his Hustle Gang protege Doe B, tragically killed last year.

But the protege who everyone was wondering about is definitely Iggy Azalea, who spits about being the “only white girl with a ghetto booty” over the trance-sampling “We Go Hard.”

This mixtape allows T.I. to work with rising rappers and O.G.s, keeping his finger on the pulse of rap’s underground while still putting Iggy on.

He’s saving the big guns for his next album, Paperwork: The Motion Picture, due out October 21. He recently released the track list, featuring an absurd bounty of superstars: Pharrell, Usher, Rick Ross and The-Dream all appear.

Miley Cyrus is a prolific user of Instagram, a wizard at Photoshop and never afraid to poke fun at herself, which is a winning combination when it comes to meme-making.

Because Miley is a meme-machine, and the imagery from her latest album and Bangez tour are more than ripe for a little good-natured ribbing.

The other day, she posted a hilarious throwback picture of herself googley-eyed as a child:

But now, she and her army of fans have transformed it by photoshopping that head on to a bunch of her current day pics.

The results are just as weird, outrageous and hilarious as the rest of Miley’s persona. Coming on the heels of her debut art show, the visuals seem even more fitting. Enjoy!

That wild VMAs performance we’ll never forget.. plus baby Miley.

Baby Miley turning up onstage.

Weird art school project Miley.

Somehow even the heart-wrenching “Wrecking Ball” becomes funny with this lil face in the mix.

Hannah-Montana-Anaconda throwback Miley… I’m losing track of the memes here.

She’s just bein Miley!

Robert Friedman is the Youth Engagement Coordinator for the Nation Resources Defense Council. He was featured in an MTV story in 2007 when he started a greening initiative in his high school. This is his story about why he’s joining tens of thousands of people in New York on Sunday for the People’s Climate March.

“It’s 10:30 p.m. on December 17, 2009, and I’m standing under a giant wind turbine with dozens of other youth activists just outside of downtown Copenhagen, Denmark. Snow is falling and we’re holding a vigil in honor of the lives that have already been lost to climate change. The mood could not be more somber.

At the time, I was junior in college and a youth delegate attending the annual United Nations climate negotiations, which were spiraling out of control as delegates failed to reach any meaningful agreement on limiting global emissions. We were there to convince world leaders to stand up for climate justice and our futures. Many of us were leaving the next morning, heading back to school, back to work, back to our normal lives. Some of us would also be leaving the climate justice fight forever. Despair is easy to come by when you’re literally fighting for our future on this planet.

The entire subject just felt too dark and impossible.

Fast forward to a few months later. I am in Tanzania on my semester abroad from college. I arrived in Tanzania committed to not spending much time studying ...

“Told ‘em I finished school, and I started my own business/They say, ‘Oh you graduated?’ No, I decided I was finished.” – Kanye West, “School Spirit.”

Few people are more consumed with the ethical implications of a college education in America than Kanye West. A college dropout at age 20, he exorcised the specter of his unfinished education across three albums: College Dropout, Late Registration, and Graduation.

Now he’s back in the bosom of higher education. This time, though, he makes the rules.

In March, West, was sentenced to 24 months of probation and 250 hours of community service after a confrontation with a paparazzo lead to charges of misdemeanor battery and attempted grand theft.

How is Kanye servicing the community? By teaching its best and brightest about clothes.

Kanye has been teaching at the L.A. Trade Technical College, delivering lectures on fashion and creativity.

Although there have been rumors of Kanye teaching since June, one bold student’s Instagram has only now given us a glimpse into his classroom. User itschrisgaleno risked life and limb to bring us several snapshots of Yeezy in Chelsea boots and a muted green hoodie, gesticulating in front of a whiteboard marked “Presentations Tomorrow!”

What kind of homework does Professor Yeezy assign? Does he grade harshly? Does he ever bust out the Margiela mask during lectures? What happens if he catches you passing notes?

We may never know. All we can do is hope for the syllabus to leak.

When Jimmy Fallon turns 40, it’s a big deal. Sure, even the average joe thinks the big four-oh is worth commemorating, but Fallon has been working in the entertainment industry for years now, so obviously his peers were going to stand up and take notice of his milestone birthday.

So yesterday (September 19), his co-workers told him it’d be a special guest that Fallon would then interview.

“I am going to interview him or her,” he said, before a call from offstage ominously added “Or it!” Fallon’s quizzical response to this was priceless.

So when a three tier baby blue layer cake emerged from behind the curtain, the “it” comment seemed to be explained. But of course, a topless Seth Rogen jumped out… followed by James Franco, also topless, and swinging hand cuffs around his head.

I’ll let you watch the rest of the joyful birthday celebration unfold—because there’s another layer to it—but it was one fitting of the humor and laughter that Fallon has brought to countless people in his life.
