Growing up I was a huge fan of the “Street Fighter” video game series, so imagine my excitement when Drake and Lil Wayne announced their Drake Vs Lil Wayne Tour, using the iconic fighting game’s fonts.

In the weeks leading up to the tour, the Young Money superstars even dropped at “SF”-inspired trailer (geeked) and now a phone app, developed with Capcom, the geniuses behind “Street Fighter.”

I already got my ticket for Friday’s (August 8) kick-off show and I’m making my way to Darien Center, New York, but before I stepped foot inside the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center, I wanted to get familiar with this interactive Drake Vs Lil Wayne app.

Supposedly when concertgoers interact with the app, they can “power up” either Drake or Weezy and impact their performance on stage. It’s all a little hard to imagine, so I figured I’d take it for a test run right before the show, because we all know how phone service gets at summer concerts.

1. Open The App

First step is opening the app, never mind the 27,000 unread emails and 175 voicemails, that’s not important right now. Note, the wallpaper of the first time I met Weezy; it was a cool moment.

2. Marvel At The Title Screen

Once the app opens up you get this cool “Street Fighter”-inspired title screen. Round 1, fight!

3. Choose Your City

You have to chose your city, based on which concert you will be ...

Things are a little cray-zay at MTV HQ, kids. Not only did we drop the first episode of House of Style yesterday (hosted by Iggy Azalea!), but it was just announced that Beyonce is performing at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, and she’s taking home the MTV Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. Translation: Bey is flawless.

See 19 House of Style moments we’ll never forget

So, since it’s #FBF (Flashback Friday!), we thought it’d be the perfect time to resurface this video of Destiny’s Child getting ready for their first VMAs in 2000 on House of Style. Spoiler alert: It involves a lot of impromptu singing and head-to-toe leather.

The future of “Prometheus 2″ has been uncertain in the last few months, especially after director Ridley Scott chose “The Martian” as his next project. Based on what we’ve previously heard about the potential sequel, Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace would reprise their roles, but that’s pretty much all we know.

When I sat down with Michael Fassbender to talk about his new movie “Frank,” in which he wears a papier-mache head most of the time, I realized that his character in the indie film is essentially the opposite of where we last saw David in “Prometheus,” only head.

Fassbender agreed and then gave me a little preview of the sequel.

Essentially, his impression what David might be up to breaks down to this:

And just to prove how flexible Fassbender’s peepers are, here’s this:

“Frank” opens in theaters on August 22, and it’s really good.

Yeah, you read that right. Austin Mahone let us into his dressing room, y’all. *hair flip* During his first headlining tour, he stopped in LA to share all the awesomeness that happens behind the scenes—which, for us, meant being able to see all his killer ensembles IRL.

Austin said he usually wears the same three outfits onstage. “I start off the show in this white, super heavy black mesh leather type of thing. For the middle of the set, for the acoustics and stuff, I usually throw this white, black and gray plaid vest on.”

But, as all Mahomies know, no Austin outfit is complete with some killer sneakers. He told us, “I start off the show in these Jordan 11s. And then, I switch to these gray Jordan 3s. And then, I go from that to these red Nikes Air Pythons. This is probably my favorite pair.”

But, hey, we don’t want to give it all away. Watch the video to see what else Austin is hiding behind the scenes!

Omarion is officially a father.

The former B2K singer and girlfriend Apryl Jones have welcomed their first child together, son Megaa Omari Grandberry.

The singer, 29, broke the news on Instagram on Thursday night with a touching father/son photo.

“World. Allow me to introduce. MEGAA OMARI GRANDBERRY. He is 7 pounds. 4oz & 20 inches long. My son I’ve been waiting on you. God is the realist!! I witnessed a miracle,” he captioned the photo. “My soul mate @aprylsjones is so strong! Not only did she have a un medicated birth (no drugs) she did it at home. Naturally. Just like my mom had me.”

Jones shared an equally adorable pic on her own Instagram account, writing, “These two are my everything….. @1omarion I love you baby! He’s here.”

Chris Brown sent his love to the happy couple, writing on Instagram, “Congrats to my bro! @1omarion life is a beautiful thing and you taught me some great morals growing up. I know you’ll be a great father bro!”

Everyone knows that Aquaman is the lamest member of the Justice League, but it’s not like that’s a really harsh insult. It’s like being the worst flavor of ice cream. It’s still ice cream.

Anyway, a Detroit radio station was “a little bit disparaging” toward the king of Atlantis (via /Film), so Zack Snyder, who’s currently filming “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” in the city called in to give the DJs what for.

“I don’t want to give anything away about the movie or anything like that, but Aquaman has some cool abilities,” Snyder said. “People are like, ‘Oh what? Does he talk to animals? Cause that seems like what he does. Or fish?’”

Don’t let the enthusiasm of “some cool abilities” fool you. Aquaman can kill Superman.

“The cool thing with Aquaman is he’s Triton, so you have to realize that could cut the flesh of Superman if they came in contact,” Snyder said. “That’s a thing that’s in the canon. He’s super strong cause of course he can exist at these super deep depths, so when he comes up here he’s crazy strong.”

Snyder sure is strongly defending a hero that’s only rumored to be in his movie. What gives?

“Anyway, not to say he’s in my movie or anything like that but he has the potential to be bad ass. That’s all I’m saying,” he said.

You hear that, guys? Don’t say anything bad about Aquaman, or he’s liable to use his some cool abilities on ...

At Lollapalooza last weekend, Chicago rapper Vic Mensa transported everyone back to that simpler, innocent time by covering “Seven Nation Army” with all the intensity of the original.

Remember back before everyone had Jack White fatigue and he was just half of a cool new band called The White Stripes? Nobody knew much about them except they had a female drummer and a song called “Seven Nation Army” that was so cool it was practically the second coming of a spiritual leader. Somehow, Mensa channeled that coolness while updating the track with a little EDM and a little hip-hop posturing.

Watch a clip of the cover below via Pursuit of Dopeness.

Vic is part of the Chance the Rapper’s Save Money crew and while he’s on the come up, it’s still easier for festival crowds when a newer artist throws out a legacy cover that everyone can mosh to accordingly. Even for people who were unfamiliar with Vic’s own material, his passion while performing this song is palpable. Given he was performing in his hometown, though, plenty of people knew Vic himself.

But what’s really cool about this is that Vic is a rapper covering an indie rock song—it’s just further proof that the hard and fast lines between genres are disappearing into the ether, and now music of every genre is spilling into every other genre like one big happy family. Thank you Vic Mensa, for helping the lines between genres grow ...

New York City mass transit commuters are a jaded bunch. With a cacophony of drum circles, panhandlers, violinists, mariachi bands and break dancers competing to earn their daily attention (and hard-earned cash), it’s easy to understand why most folks simply tune out and concentrate on their iPhones or e-books.

Which is why it’s even more triumphant that a group of people were able to capture the collective attention of one full subway train. Never mind that they happen to be the uber-talented cast of Broadway’s “The Lion King” – this is definitely an event akin to an army of Baby Simbas sprouting wings (though not quite as adorable).

Presumably to celebrate the dual milestone of both 2013 NYC subway ridership and the show’s ticket sales totaling $1 billion (or because the actors relish any opportunity to scream at strangers without being arrested), the cast harmonized and hyena-cackled their way through a surprise performance of “Circle of Life” on an A express train.

The looks on those little girl’s faces! The incredible acoustics backed by the melodic whirring of the car through the tunnel! New Yorkers not just high-fiving, but also joining in to sing along! GOOSEBUMPS.

Carter Stevens has been dreaming of the chance to reunite with Lori, the woman she considers to be her mother. But now that the opportunity has come months after Carter moved in with her biological family, The Wilsons, is she ready to take the leap?

On tonight’s “Finding Carter” episode, Max, who’s been proudly serving as manager at the local gas station, was uncomfortably greeted once again by the perpetually baseball-capped Lori. Carter’s abductor pleaded with Max to contact Carter and get her to the station, and though it took dozens of text messages to pry Carter away from her new crush Crash, the teen finally made the trip.

At first glance, Carter was thrilled to see Lori and quickly wrapped her arms around the woman. But soon, after Lori explained her plan to steal Carter away, Carter’s mood changed. Lori’s proposal for a getaway involved a burner phone, the stealing of the Wilson family car and even Russian passports, and Carter, who was so stunned by the sordidness of the scheme that she forgot her part in the duo’s typical “love you”/”love you more” exchange, looked like she’d been hit by any one of the vehicles that was refueling at the pumps. It wasn’t so long ago that Carter would have done just about anything to reclaim her old life, but the prospect of new, falsified identities and a long road of law-breaking suddenly made things real — and terrifying.

With the complexity of ...

Ever since 2005’s Emancipation of Mimi, Mariah Carey and Jermaine Dupri belonged together.

Not anymore.

According to Billboard, the Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse singer has parted ways with her longtime manager/collaborator/producer.

“I’m a very hands-on person when it comes to my work,” Dupri told Billboard in a statement. “I put my all into every project. But when I’m not allowed to do what I do, then I know it’s time for me to move on. Mariah and I enjoy working together and will continue to make great music together in the future.”

The split comes on the heels of the disappointing sales of Elusive Chanteuse, which has only moved 103,000 units since its release in May.

In addition to his role as executive producer of her latest album, the So So Def mogul produced two of Carey’s biggest hits to date: “We Belong Together” and “Always Be My Baby.”

Carey is now reportedly working closely with Kevin Liles, who currently manages Ty Dolla $ign and Trey Songz.
