‘Doctor Who’ Series Premiere: All The Biggest Moments From ‘Deep Breath’

by 34 mins ago

Can we all take a “Deep Breath” of relief now that Peter Capaldi’s first “Doctor Who” adventure is in the bank? Can we all agree that his first full episode with Clara (Jenna Coleman) was equal parts sweet, hilarious, meditative, and awesome-sauce? Can we dig in to the episode’s biggest moments?

The New Doctor Emerges From His TARDIS

tumblr_nals4gfKzh1tuf6e9o2_1280BBC


We learned pretttty much right away that Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor is going to be a delightful departure from Matt Smith’s foppish, silly Eleven — but more on personality traits in a sec. Let’s talk about the snap judgments that came to mind once Twelve first exited his TARDIS. (Spit up by a giant dinosaur, of course.)

First and foremost, he’s Scottish! (“I blame the English!”). Basically, get ready to maaaaybe have some United Kingdom jokes fly over your head if you live in the US, because Capaldi has officially become the first Doctor to use his native Scottish accent on the show. (Can you imagine David Tennant’s Ten with his Tennant’s real voice? Woah.)

Second, it’s important to note that Twelve had almost as hard a time accepting his new old face as Clara did. That later bit where he terrorized the homeless man was hilarious — and hinted at great things to come regarding Capaldi’s ability to nail physical humor — but it also let us know that the transition from outwardly young man to outwardly older man won’t necessarily be a piece of cake for the Doctor, especially ...

Here’s How ‘Doctor Who’ Pulled Off That Surprise Cameo

by 56 mins ago

There were plenty of shocks and surprising twists on display during Peter Capaldi’s debut as The Doctor on “Doctor Who,” but none bigger than the jaw dropping return of… Well, spoilers, sweetie.

Massive, massive “Doctor Who” spoilers past this point.

Yes, the previous Doctor, played by Matt Smith, returned for one last hurrah after “dying” at the end of “The Time Of The Doctor” this past Christmas. In the emotional scene, Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) is still not totally convinced that the new Doctor, played by Capaldi, is the same person inside as “her” Doctor, played by Smith.

And then she gets a phone call on her cell from Smith’s Eleven, as he’s dying during the Siege of Trenzalore. He tells her that he’s the same man inside, and to trust Capaldi as if he’s Smith. Which he, of course, still is, despite the outside (and a bit of the insides) looking different.

But Smith has been wrapped on “Doctor Who” since the filming of “Time Of The Doctor” back in September, 2013. So how did he end up making such a substantial cameo nearly a year later?

Turns out, the BBC has been sitting on that footage for a good long while, as we found out when we asked Executive Producer Steven Moffat about the scene at the blue carpet premiere of “Deep Breath” in New York.

Keeping things vague for any spoiler-phobes in the area, we asked Moffat how they pulled off the secret cameo.

“I wrote that sequence first, and ...

5SOS Transform Into Emojis… Will They Change Back Before The VMAs?

by 20 mins ago

Well, I guess that’s the end of Ashton Irwin as we knew him. The 5 Seconds of Summer drummer is now a shrimp, according the hilarious Vines they made after their VMA rehearsal on Saturday (August 23).

We hung out with the pop punk band in a dressing room backstage (possibly Rita Ora’s… hey, Rita) and had tons of fun talking about their performance and competing against Demi Lovato for Best Lyric Video.

The 5SOSFam is going neck-and-neck with Lovatics in the socially voted category, and the race is too close to call. But the dudes know how to get their fans voting: llama hands. Who can resist a llama hand telling you to #Vote5SOS?


When it comes to their performance tomorrow, we don’t know what to expect. But if the guys were to explain it in emojis, it would look a little bit like this.


A.K.A., this:

Here’s to hoping 5 Seconds of Summer will transform back to human form before tomorrow’s show, where they are also up for the title of MTV Artist to Watch. They’re nominated with Fifth Harmony, Schoolboy Q, Sam Smith and Charli XCX.

This Is What Kim Kardashian Looks Like Without Makeup

by 30 mins ago

Kim Kardashian is rocking the VMAs tomorrow as a presenter, but she’s also rocking no makeup this weekend. And she looks stunning, so much so that if she decides to go sans makeup at the VMAs we probably wouldn’t even notice!

Kardashian’s been working on a couple of new beauty routines as of late, such as using a waist-shaper, which involves working out with a corset. If we had to choose to do one of them between the two, we’ll probably go without the makeup… probably.

“It’s a no makeup kinda weekend” she captioned the snap. Be sure to tune in to see if Kardashian keeps up her makeup-less weekend when she presents at the 2014 VMAs tomorrow at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Wiz Khalifa Cancels California Tour Stop After Backstage Shooting

by 7 mins ago

Wiz Khalifa, Jeezy and their Under the Influence of Music Tour are taking the night off after a man was shot and killed backstage at their Mountain View, California, concert on Friday night.

Khalifa took to Twitter on Saturday (August 23) to announce that Saturday night’s show in Chula Vista, California will be cancelled.

According to reports, a 38-year old man was shot multiple times backstage at the Shoreline Amphitheater around 11:05 p.m., moments after the show ended. He was transported to a nearby hospital where he later died. Police are searching for the suspect and asking any one with any video or photos of the backstage area to come forward.

Wiz sent his condolences to the victim’s family with another tweet.

Ariana Grande (Kind Of) Takes The Ice Bucket Challenge And Other Things You Missed From Her Twitter Takeover

by 16 mins ago

You know how literally every celebrity ever has taken the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by now? Add Ariana Grande to that list — sort of.

During her @MTV Twitter Takeover on Friday, August 22, the “Break Free” singer revealed that even though she hadn’t yet posted a video of herself getting all drenched and frozen, she did make a donation to support research to find a cure for ALS (a.k.a. Lou Gehrig’s Disease), which is kind of the whole point behind the Ice Bucket Challenge BTW.

Claps for Ari? Claps for Ari.

That’s not all Ariana revealed during the Twitter Takeover.

tumblr_inline_n6gjscfm0i1ripgeb

When’s her next tour? Funny you should ask, because you’ll find out in September.

Did I say tour? Something tells me I should’ve said “world tour.”

Will Ariana change up her hair? Uh…no.

Or, maybe she will! It’s really not that big a deal.

She’ll totally support you in your radical hair adventures, though.

Much like Arianators nationwide, she’s equal parts nervous and excited about performing “Break Free” and “Bang Bang” at the VMAs.

Which sidebar, could only be more incredible if we had access to zero-gravity technology and on-demand Jane Fonda.

Ariana’s getting her VMA inspo from Madonna.

Closing thoughts? Ariana’s already got a few favorite tracks on My Everything (out August 25).

She likes “real things” like family, friends, and twerking.

And, “suck my ass”? Really?

Not today, haters.

Sky Ferreira And Cat Power Are Performing Concerts To Benefit Ferguson

by 1 min ago

Ferguson, Missouri has seen three consecutive nights of relative calm following two weeks of violent clashes between police and protesters in the wake of the shooting death of Michael Brown. Many artists have responded and shared their thoughts, from J. Cole visiting Ferguson to show his support to protesters, to T.I. speaking out on Instagram.

Now Chan Marshall, a.k.a. Cat Power, and Sky Ferreira are also joining in the growing chorus of voices lending support to the protesters who’ve been rallying on behalf of the unarmed teen killed by a Ferguson police officer. Marshall has been vocal on Twitter about her dismay over what has been taking place in the St. Louis suburb. On Friday, she announced she would perform a free benefit concert tomorrow night.

According to Consequence Of Sound, Cat Power invited Ferreira to join her, but Ferreira already had a concert scheduled so instead, Ferreira will donate proceeds to the cause from her own show. “@catpowerofficial is playing a show tomorrow. I’m trying to find a way to come but I’m contractually obligated to another show,” Ferreira wrote on Instagram. “The $$$ for my performance will go towards this & I will be there in spirit.”

Cat Power is scheduled to perform two shows at Firebird in St. Louis tomorrow.

Remy Ma Returns To New York For ‘They Don’t Love You No More’ Video

by 17 mins ago

Remy Ma is going full steam ahead. She was out of jail for less than a week before she dropped a remix to DJ Khaled’s “They Don’t Love You No More,” and now she comes through with the accompanying visuals.

Both Khaled and French Montana join Remy in the video, which was filmed in various locations in New York City, including at the Castle Hill housing projects in Bronx. Check out the clip above.

Next up, you can expect to hear her new mixtape, I’m Around, which could be dropping in just a few days.

“It’s kind of impossible, after being in prison for six-and-a-half-years, and being home for 19 days, to only talk about what I’m going through right now,” Remy told MTV News this week. “It’s very hard not to bring up what I went through. Even though, in the future, I don’t want to keep dwelling on the past. I don’t want to dwell in the past now, but that was a large part of my life, so it has affected me in a lot of ways, and it will show in my music.”

Hear her explain in the video below.

What Is Riff Raff Talking About On This Remix Of Nicki Minaj’s ‘Anaconda’?

by 23 mins ago

It was only a matter of time before Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” track got a remix — even if it’s an unofficial one.

On Friday, the LA Leakers added Riff Raff to Nicki’s new single, and his verse is as zany as you might imagine.

“Yeah, collect call from Hector/ I was on the phone, outside of my double-decker,” Riff raps before rattling off lyrics about Cinderella, red licorice thongs and glow-in-the-dark socks.

This isn’t the only remix the Neon Icon jumped on this week. On Thursday, the “rap game Dr. Drew” linked with Katy Perry on “This Is How We Do.”

It’s still unclear if Nicki’s heard Raff’s “Anaconda” remix, though, she’s been busy preparing for her performance at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, August 24.
