by 18 mins ago

We’ve discussed 2014 VMA fashion down to the details, we’ve chosen our best dressed, and now we’ve enlisted the help of our longtime friend Jarvis Derrell (a.k.a. the brains behind #shehashadit) to give us his take on all things VMA.

We Can Get Behind This Teaser For Iggy Azalea’s ‘Booty’ Remix Video

by 9 mins ago

Jennifer Lopez’s “Booty” remix featuring Iggy Azalea may have only just dropped today, but the Australian rapper has already begun teasing the song’s music video on Instagram. Judging by the preview, which she posted on Instagram, there will be lots of booty featured in the final clip — you know, in case you assumed otherwise.

To back it up for a sec, J.Lo first revealed the “Booty” remix on an episode of “House Of Style”, and she made a second announcement while introducing the “Black Widow” rapper’s performance with Rita Ora at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. Lopez told the crowd that she “was a fan of this girl since she was grinding on mixtapes” — back when Iggy started from the bottom, if you will.

Bad at filling out bios seeks same.

‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ Reunion Part 1: Joseline, Stevie J, Benzino Get Ready To Rumble!

by 10 mins ago

“Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” fans were overwhelmingly reminded that there’s no such thing as “TMI” during the explosively ratchet part 1 of the juggernaut reality show’s reunion show Monday night.

During VH1′s one-hour broadcast, all of the castmembers’ salacious secrets and misdeeds spilled out into the light.

Turns out, Erica Dixon let her daughter’s father, Lil Scrappy, “go downtown”; Yung Joc explained Karlie Redd’s sexual prowess in graphic detail and, oh yeah, a fight broke out onstage. Security was on hand, but where was Michael Buffer when you needed him?

Prompted by host Sommore, who sat in for show creator and go-to moderator Mona Scott-Young, Scrappy relived his love triangle with Bambi, Erica Pinkett and, surprisingly, Dixon, his former fiancee.

Scrap admitted that he was indecisive when it came to his feelings about the Bam, citing that he was, well, ratchet.

“I’m ratchet, too,” Bambi said. “We just got a ratchet situation.”

Awww, ain’t love grand?

Things got heated when it was time for Erica P — or “aspiring side chick” if you’re the Bam — to chime in for the “miscarriage vs. domestic abuse” argument, but the real meat and potatoes of Scrappy’s “This Is Your Life” segment came by way of his daughter’s mother.

“We weren’t intimate; I just let him taste it,” Erica told producers backstage, clarifying her statement onstage that Scrap made a meal out of her nether region.

Momma Dee’s prince denied it all, of course, setting up the “need” for a lie detector test. Judging by the

Dreading School? Watch MisterWives’ New Video ASAP

by 56 mins ago

If you’re dreading going back to the hallowed halls of education this fall, take a look at MisterWives’ new boarding school-themed video for “Reflections.” Let’s just say it will give you something to dream about in homeroom.

The video for the jangly, summery tune takes place, ironically, inside what looks to be an extremely strict boarding school, where all the kids — a.k.a. the members of MisterWives — are just itching to bust free. Marching bands charge through the halls, food fights break out, water balloon are tossed, and then it all culminates in one massive jailbreak, in which the kids (led by singer Mandy Lee) tie up their “Breakfast Club”-esque teacher and make a final run for it. The video is, in essence, what could only be described as every kid’s fantasy.

“Reflections” is off of the band’s first EP — which bears the same name — out last January. You can watch the video below or at misterwives.mtv.com.

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."

G-Unit’s ‘Ahhh Sh–’ Video Captures All Of The Frustrations After Mike Brown’s Death

by 9 mins ago

The shooting death of Ferguson, Missouri teen Michael Brown at the hands of the police has ignited the nation and angered many. People have taken to the street in protest, while artists continue to make statements and use their voice in song. 50 Cent and G-Unit are the latest to take a stand with their video for “Ahhh Sh–,” an aggressive protest against police brutality.

The video starts with footage of the late Eric Garner, pleading with the New York City police officers who would eventually put him in the chokehold that the coroner ruled contributed to his death. The Unit continue to roll out a montage of protest videos and clips of police attacking citizens.

In fact, there is minimal performance footage in clip, which only features two Unit members: Young Buck and Kidd Kidd. Still, the lyrics are heard loud and clear. With his verse, Buck screams: “Ever since Mike Brown went down my whole city’s like f–k a cop,” while Kidd Kidd shouts out: “No justice, no peace.”

Mentally been many places, but I'm Brooklyn's own. Hip-hop gives me life!

by 1 min ago

Happy 23rd birthday, Dylan O’Brien!

Man Sets Himself On Fire Doing The Ice Bucket Challenge, Defying Science

by 2 mins ago

Oh, America: you infinitely complex and varied beast full of brilliants and personified bratwursts aplenty. Like this man and his Ice Bucket Challenge, which somehow resulted in him getting set on fire (don’t worry, he’s fine).

There are so many things wrong with this. Which should go without saying but just in case, let’s list ‘em! (Everybody likes lists, after all, right?):

- He’s got a confederate flag
- …AND a swingin’ American flag vest
- He took a swig of booze and then SPIT IT OUT
- Right before he lit his head on FIRE
- …On PURPOSE
- He calls himself a rebel
- He thinks all of this is HILARIOUS
- And just in case you missed it, let us again call attention to the CONFEDERATE FLAG.

Needless to say we don’t condone anything this man does, says, or holds in this video.

Too much exuberance for one person. Follow her on Twitter @alicialutes.
