What’s It Like To Come Out As Transgender? Watch The Trailer For Laura Jane Grace’s New Show

by 12 mins ago

Laura Jane Grace’s new documentary series, “True Trans,” may feature footage from her band Against Me!‘s tour around Transgender Dysphoria Blues. But judging from a trailer for the upcoming program, it’s about way more than concert footage. It’s about Laura’s own battle with gender dysphoria — in addition to the battles of others.

“By the time I was 30 years-old I had done everything I had set out to do,” the singer says in the trailer. “But when it came down to it, that didn’t make the dysphoria go away.” She then expounds on her experience coming out as a transgender woman — something she did via a 2012 interview with Rolling Stone — and shares the stories of a cadre of other trans people.

The show, which will premiere online on AOL on October 10, is just the latest in revealing projects by Grace. First, she did the aforementioned interview with RS, then she spoke with MTV in her first-ever on-camera interview, and then, of course, there was Against Me!’s most recent record, Transgender Dysphoria Blues.

Check out the trailer below:

Brenna Ehrlich is a reporter for MTV News as well as the senior writer/editor for the O Music Awards. In the past, she served as associate editor at Mashable, penned a netiquette column for CNN and co-authored the blog and book "Stuff Hipsters Hate."

A Look Back At Lauren Conrad And Lo Bosworth’s Special Friendship

by 10 mins ago

Lauren Conrad is almost Mrs. Tell, and the California beauty has been celebrating her upcoming nuptials via picturesque bridal-themed festivities with her nearest and dearest. One lovely lady, who has been with the fashion designer through thick and thin, will surely be a part of the big day: Lo Bosworth.

When we first met Lauren and Lo 10 years ago, the vivacious 18-year-olds were sharing rite of passage teenage milestones and always bringing fun to their magical hometown of Laguna Beach. From their spot-on interpretations of social events to their quick quips while judging their circle of friends, LC and Lo were a modern-day Lucy and Ethel.

The gals moved on to the Hollywood “Hills,” and while they certainly experienced their fair share of ups and down with their pals, the blond buddies always maintained their friendship — even after the series wrapped in 2010.

As Lauren prepares to swap vows with William Tell — and experiences this unbelievable time in her life with Lo at her side — let’s take a look back at some special moments the former MTV darlings have experienced through the years:

Lauren has said she wouldn’t have survived her senior year without Lo — and we believe it. After all, being a part of a love triangle with your longtime friend Stephen and your arch rival Kristin ain’t easy without a trusting and reliable sidekick.

Will Beyonce Have Another Baby? We Asked A Psychic

by 10 mins ago

Beyoncé is 33 today! In honor of the Queen turning the double 3s, MTV News enlisted resident psychic Licorice Root to take a peek at Bey’s year ahead. New tunes? New baby? New bling? Licorice Root cast her eyes to the stars to see what’s ahead for this heavenly body:

Happy Birthday to one perfect Virgo: Beyoncé! This year stands to be her very best yet with Jupiter, the planet of good fortune and growth, strolling through the very top of her natal chart, bringing her to new heights of fame and glory.

Guess when the last time this lineup occurred in this diva’s natal chart? Twelve years ago, way back in 2002, when she and Jay Z came out as couple of lovebirds, releasing the single “’03 Bonnie and Clyde.”

No doubt this lady married for love; however, who could argue that pairing up with rap’s foremost player when you’re already a formidable feature in music did anything but increase her fame?

Well, here we are 12 years later, and it’s very likely that history will repeat itself, with Beyoncé drawing more fame, affection and attention toward herself.

But, it won’t be all rainbows and lollipops — aesthetically speaking at least. Saturn, who is often associated with melancholia, doom and gloom is cozying up to Beyoncé’s intense, mysterious and fierce Scorpio Moon. Goth Beyoncé? I’m excited!

This combination of cosmic forces also suggests she’s being for-serious in all her endeavors and committing to major long-term lifestyle choices.

So let’s break down ...

Holy Crap, Does Jennifer Lawrence Look Badass In This ‘Hunger Games: Mockingjay’ Poster

by 23 mins ago

Last week, when a bunch of character posters for “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1″ featuring the rebel fights dropped, I thought those were pretty cool.

To be fair, they were, but this dark poster featuring Katniss takes the top prize for badassdom.

Tip for looking badass in photos: Never face the camera.

“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1″ opens in theaters on November 21.

Jennifer Lopez And Iggy Azalea Are Giving A Whole Lot Of Wet ‘Booty’ In This Teaser

by 32 mins ago

If you love a big ‘Booty’ (and who doesn’t) then Jennifer Lopez has something in store for you.

The pop star teased fans on Wednesday (September 4) with a 0:34 snippet of her upcoming video, “Booty,” featuring Iggy Azalea and it’s seriously sexy.

The teaser has Lopez tossing aside all inhibitions as she proudly shows off her famous backside in a skin-tight, black bikini complete with fishnet stockings. J.Lo continues to flaunt her assets as she rubs herself down with water (or oil, we can’t determine), smokes a cigarette and shows everybody how she twerks.

J. Lo and director Hype Williams turn up the sexiness by bringing in Iggy Iggs into the mix as the two ladies dance together in black-and-white bathing suits with slicked back wet hair, as Jennifer playfully touches her fellow big-booty collaborator.

No word on when the video drops in full, but the latest single off Jennifer’s album, A.K.A., didn’t originally feature the “Fancy” rapper. Mr. Worldwide himself, Pitbull, lent his verse to the song, but Jenny From the Block recruited Iggy for the remix which, after watching this teaser, many fans will be very excited about.

Dylan O’Brien Hides From Grievers In This Exclusive ‘Maze Runner’ Clip: Watch

by 5 mins ago

Fans of “The Maze Runner,” the best-selling YA book by James Dashner about to hit theaters as a major blockbuster movie, know that it’s all about the Grievers — bulbous, evil, bio-mechanical monsters that terrorize Thomas (“Teen Wolf” star Dylan O’Brien) and co. as they try to navigate a massive, unexplainable Maze.

And we at MTV News are certainly fans of “The Maze Runner,” which is why we’re thrilled to debut this exclusive clip, “Hide,” that offers up a spine-tingling sneak peek at a Griever… Or at least, part of one.

In the clip we see Thomas, Teresa (Kaya Scodelario), and the rest of the terrified Gladers running (and hiding) for their lives as the Grievers begin a horrifying attack. Grab the popcorn!

“The Maze Runner” hits theaters on Friday, September 19.

The One Direction ‘Where We Are’ Trailer Got Fans So Excited They Peed Their Pants

by 1 min ago

Seriously, I don’t think I can wait another month for this. One Direction just dropped the full-length trailer for their “Where We Are” concert film, and its giving us all sorts of feels.

On Thursday (September 4), the group released the 1:30 clip for the movie, which hits theaters for just ONE WEEKEND on October 11 and 12. So, Directioners, if you haven’t already, block out that weekend right now since you’ll basically be living in the movie theater watching repeat screenings.

Fans have a lot to look forward to in this concert flick, including backstage access, onstage selfies, exclusive interviews, a front-row seat to their massive stadium tour and lots of Big Payno dance moves, which is a personal favorite.

Not surprisingly, fans are already freaking out.

Floyd Mayweather Wants 50 Cent Feud To End With A Huge Donation To Michael Brown’s Family

by 8 mins ago

This has to be the end of 50 Cent’s current feud with Floyd Mayweather, right? Because we’re not sure where he can possibly go after the boxer’s latest response. Fif has been taking jabs at his former pal over the past few weeks, promising to donate $750,000 to charity if the five-division champ could successfully read one page of a “Harry Potter” book.

50 has been ruthless with his taunts, but on Wednesday Mayweather challenged the G-Unit boss to make this all worthwhile by donating that money to the family of slain St. Louis teen, Michael Brown.

“I was thinking of something, you know, when you asked me about 50 Cent — If you want to donate money, donate money to the Mike Brown family,” Mayweather said, via Yahoo Sports.

“I shouldn’t stop you,” he added. “Our company, me and Leonard [Ellerbee], we have been donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to different organizations for years without any media, without getting credit. … The best thing for 50 Cent to do, and there are no hard feelings, is to give that $750,000 to Mike Brown’s family.”

“It was a very, very bad situation, the Ferguson thing,” Mayweather said. “I like to sit down and talk and communicate with my kids on a regular basis, about being fair, etiquette, honesty. Because as I was ...

Norman Reedus Might Have Just Tweeted A Giant ‘Walking Dead’ Spoiler

by 11 mins ago

In what is either a giant spoiler, a marvelous joke, or some bizarre combination of the two, Norman Reedus tweeted out a photo today that raises some interesting questions about what’s in store for his character on the upcoming season of “The Walking Dead.”

The pic shows Reedus, decked out in full Daryl Dixon regalia, being… er, attended to by a man we believe is the show’s special-effects guru Greg Nicotero. And then, of course, there’s the caption.

So, what in the name of all that is dead and walking is going on here? We’ve got a few potential theories.

1. “The Walking Dead” is now “The Wedding Dead.”
Picture this: a plotline which not only solves the much-discussed mystery of Daryl Dixon’s sexual orientation, but also satisfies viewers’ longtime lust for a big gay wedding in every sense of the word. Seeing Daryl get married to a guest-starring Greg Nicotero would totally make up for the disappointment of Glenn and Maggie tying the knot off-screen last season, not to mention providing a charming subplot about the challenges of wedding planning in a world full of walkers. We’re thinking zombie innards strung up like garlands; severed head centerpieces; Michonne playing double duty as maid of honor and head security guard; and of course, Daryl stealing the spotlight in a beautiful, formal poncho.

2. Daryl Dixon will give his friends a hand.
Let’s be honest: upon examination of Daryl’s digits, ol’ righty is looking undeniably necrotic. Could he be the show’s latest victim of a ...
