Wait, Did Iggy Azalea Dye Her Hair Brown?

by 2 mins ago

I know what this photo of Iggy Azalea looks like, Azaleans, but don’t go freaking out yet. Your beloved rap goddess has not dyed her hair from its usual platinum blonde to a more subdued shade of brown — it’s just a wig. Actually…

…It’s Wiggy Wiggs.

The “Black Widow” rapper wore said hairpiece as she made her way through Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday, September 16.

I’m guessing this is one of her go-to undercover looks? I don’t know, the ol’ Groucho Marx glasses-and-mustache combo always works for me when I wanna be incognito. But then again, I’m nobody so #womp.

Katy Perry Just Totally Owned Every iPhone User

by 8 mins ago

If you were upset about U2′s Songs Of Innocence suddenly appearing in your iTunes library last week, hold onto your panties. None other than Katy Perry could be making an uninvited guest appearance on your shiny, new iPhone 6, too.

“FYI to all new IPHONE 6 buyers, there will also be a free selfie of me already in ur photo roll,” Katy tweeted on Wednesday (September 17) as a collective “Ooooooo, burn!” was heard ’round the world.

Talk about the own to end all owns. Katy just laughed in your face so hard, it practically melted off.

No word yet on whether Apple will develop a web page dedicated to deleting the selfie from iPhone 6 users’ camera rolls like they did with the U2 record. But just in case they do, here are a few URL suggestions:

Watch Ansel Elgort Deal With Love And The Internet In This Exclusive ‘Men, Women & Children’ Trailer

by 19 mins ago

“So, what do you want to know?” Tim Mooney (Ansel Elgort) asks his therapist in the opening moments of this “Men, Women & Children” trailer.

Tim’s answer — “I think if I disappeared tomorrow, the universe wouldn’t really notice” — makes it clear that he’s struggling with some serious teen angst, but the rest of the footage helps us understand why. Everyone in Jason Reitman’s (“Young Adult,” “Up in the Air”) new movie deals with the alienation that can come from too much use of technology, but at least Elgort’s character (unlike Adam Sandler’s) has something exciting he can look forward to: “There’s a girl, though,” he adds.

Elgort’s sweet romance with the girl in question, played by Kaitlyn Dever, is fought tooth-and-nail by her mother (an overbearing, Facebook-hating Jennifer Garner). Meanwhile, other story lines deal with infidelity via hookup websites, online games, and — no joke — a mother (Judy Greer) selling her teen daughter’s sexy photos on the Internet. That’s about as real as it gets, folks.

“Men, Women & Children” hits theaters on October 1.

Is Kendrick Lamar Sending A Message To Gangs With New Single ‘i’? See The Cover Art

by 4 mins ago

“If Pirus and Crips all got along,” Kendrick Lamar rapped in the opening line of his 2012 track “m.A.A.d City,” offering a scenario that sounded implausible to many, after years of violence between the two gangs. But maybe he’s working towards a peace.

Kendrick released the cover art for his highly-anticipated new single, called “i,” on Wednesday (September 17), and it features the lower body of a man dressed in blue on the left, and one dressed in red on the right. The colors evoke thoughts of gang affiliation — particularly since K. Dot has frequently rapped about the gang violence he witnessed growing up, like on “m.A.A.d. City” — but the signs the two men are throwing aren’t gang-affiliated; they’re hearts.

What could this mean for the track?

Of course, all we can do is speculate, but maybe the Compton native is trying to unite otherwise-splintered factions of Los Angeles with his new music. Could it be an anti-violence anthem? Maybe it’s a love song. Probably not, but who knows.

There’s a good chance we won’t have to wait too long to find out, though. There’s speculation that the single, which is produced by Rahki (who did bonus track “Black Boy Fly” off of good kid, m.A.A.d city) is supposed to drop next week. That’s a pretty good sign that a new album should be on the way.

Selena Gomez Is Giving Justin Bieber The Look Of Love In This Pic

by 2 mins ago

It’s pretty safe to assume at this point that Jelena are totally back on.

On Wednesday (September 17), Justin Bieber posted this adorable shot of him and Selena Gomez at his friend, Ryan Butler’s birthday celebration, which reportedly was held at Lucky Strike bowling alley in downtown Los Angeles on September 14.

In the shot, which is captioned “Hope u had a good bday @ryanbutler,” the cute couple look beyond happy, as Selena, who has her adorable new bangs pulled back, smiles and stares at Justin, while he sports a giant grin.

The on-again-off-again duo have been spending quite a bit of time together as of late. The two were spotted walking together in Las Vegas over the weekend as they were in town for the Floyd Mayweather boxing match.

Late last month, the “Confident” singer, who’s working on a duets album with Cody Simpson, took his lady love to his home country of Canada, where they snapped selfies, rode horses and got into a little bit of trouble on an ATV.

Christina Garibaldi has been an on-camera reporter for MTV News since 2011. When not interviewing or writing about her favorite stars, she keeps herself busy with baby animal videos and boy bands.

FKA Twigs’ New Bangs Are Very Rick James

by 20 mins ago

Having bangs is tough, man. They don’t lay flat when you want them to. They lay too flat when you don’t want them to. You have to get them trimmed all the time—the list goes on forever. FKA Twigs seems to have developed a strategy for controlling her brand new bangs, though, and—surprisingly—she took a page out of Rick James’ beauty book. Or, I guess, the Dave-Chapelle-as-Rick-James beauty book.

While others have compared FKA’s new ’do to Cleopatra’s, it is, IMHO, way more in the Rick James orbit. Judging from the Liz Taylor interpretation, Cleopatra’s braids frame her face, whereas both FKA and Rick have straight-up braided bangs. Also, these two have matching gold beads on the ends to ensure no hair gets loose. It’s a hairstyle for all humidity levels.

FKA was way ahead on the baby hair trend that is currently very popular with many a pop star—maybe this is the next big beauty trend? I can’t imagine Katy Perry with beads in her bangs, but I couldn’t imagine her with baby edges either and I was certainly wrong about that, so.

Zac Efron Needs A Name For His DJ Supergroup With Dillon Francis

by 32 mins ago

Don’t freak out, Zac Efron fans, but, according to Instagram, he is about to form a new DJ supergroup alongside Dillon Francis. There’s just one problem — they don’t have a name yet.

‘What should our name be?’ Dillon asked his followers. Any ideas?

Ok, so this whole “DJ supergroup” thing is probably not happening. But, Zac is the star of “We Are Your Friends,” an upcoming, EDM-themed movie directed by MTV’s own Max Joseph. Maybe this pic has something to do with it?

A few trailers for the film have been released, but it’s still unclear whether Zac will play a DJ or just a fan of the genre. “We Are Your Friends” is due out sometime next year, but you can follow its official Instagram account for some sneak peeks, like the one below, while you wait.

Skate, Zefron, skate!

Back to what really matters here: What should Zac and Dillon name their (100% fictional) DJ supergroup? Zillon Efrancis? Dac Fefron? The possibilities are endless. Post your best ideas in the comments.

I'm either at mtv news or on the lower east side

Pharrell’s Adidas Collaboration Is Coming Sooner Than You Think

by 14 mins ago

By now, you’re surely aware of the Stan Smith, aka the Shoe of the Year. Pharrell pretty much single-handedly resurrected it for 2014, showing up to events in custom pairs decked out with everything from Swarovski crystals to his own doodles. (Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the shoe has also gotten endorsements from Kanye and a pantsless Rihanna.) So, when news of Pharrell’s first collaboration with Adidas broke back in March, we had a sneaking suspicion that he’d be putting his own stamp on them in the near future.

The first images of his capsule collection with Adidas have surfaced thanks to Packer Shoes and, true to our prediction, it’s all about the Stan Smith. Instead of mass marketing his hand-painted style, Pharrell went with a sleeker approach, doing up the shoe in electric blue (and red, and black). The whole initial appeal of the Stan Smiths were its clean style, but leave it to Pharrell to jazz them up in eye-popping shades.

If you take a closer look at the insole, you’ll notice the cartoonish graphic done in the same style as Pharrell’s fragrance bottle for Comme des Garcon. There’s the Skateboard P we know.

In case you were worried about matching the shoes—which happen to be the perfect plug for his “Marilyn Monroe” video, which takes place, in part, in a room painted with the same blue and red—Pharrell went ahead and solved ...

Taylor Swift ‘Doesn’t Feel Very Sexy’ In These New Outtakes

by 30 mins ago

“I am always trying so hard,” Taylor Swift admits in the latest set of outtakes released from her “Shake It Off” video, and you can’t really argue with the results. Didn’t Dolly Parton once say something about how “it costs a lot of money to look this cheap”? I feel like a similar rule must apply to goofily DGAF, awesomely bad dancing.

As the new clip reveals, neither foggy visors nor aggressively tight wigs could get in the way of Taylor’s dance party with the professional animators. “I had so much fun with it because dancers are such passionate people about what they do, and they’re so proud to be in a music video representing their style of dance — and I’m so proud to awkwardly ruin it with my dancing.”

Brava, Ms. Swift. Watch the video below.

Batmobile Tears Through Detroit In New ‘Batman V Superman’ Photo

by 27 mins ago

Last week, we found out what the Batmobile would look like in “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice,” but style is only part of the equation. To figure out whether we love or hate Zack Snyder’s take on the Caped Crusader’s signature ride, we have to see it in action.

Thankfully, Autoblog.com posted a few pictures they snapped from the set in Detroit, giving us our first look at the Batmobile rolling, and I don’t hate it.

Granted, we obviously have to see how this thing will look on screen — I’m assuming the off color is there for easy correction in post — but just like Ben Affleck’s costume, I’m really digging the aesthetic for the Dark Knight this time around.

What do you think? Share your thoughts with me in the comments below.

“Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” hits theaters on March 25, 2016.
