Shawn Mendes Tells All: 6 Secrets About The Vine Star

by 2 hours ago

Shawn Mendes’ self-titled debut is finally here — rejoice — but maybe even more exciting, his EP hit #1 on the iTunes charts in less than an hour.

When MTV News caught up with the Vine superstar last week, the singer could barely contain his joy over its release, explaining that it’s not like anything his fans have heard from him before.

“Lots of acoustic, sort of raw material. One of the songs we get to the bridge and then it goes super fast, it’s almost like a rap, but it’s not a rap. I’m not a rapper. But, um, very different stuff, I don’t know, I feel like some of the things are going to surprise my fans,” he said. “I’m really excited to see how they take in the music that I’m giving them. We have a little bit of a reggae feel on one of the songs, so lots of exciting stuff.”

In the spirit of surprises, we had Shawn spill some fun facts he’s never shared with any of his fans — check the video and list below!

1. Witch, Don’t Kill My Vibe

“I was in love with [Emma Watson] because I was in love with ‘Harry Potter’ and she was Hermione and I thought she was really badass.”

How Many Models Can You Spot In The New ‘Mad Max’ Trailer?

by 3 hours ago

Modelizers, rejoice! San Diego Comic-Con premiered the first official preview of the new Mad Max installment, directed by George Miller. The fourth film in the franchise appears to be take place between the original Mad Max and Road Warrior, and from the looks of things has some major fashion credentials. Let’s take a look:

CHARLIZE THERON

mad-max-road-fury-charlize-theronWarner Bros. Pictures


It wasn’t so long ago that Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron was a teen model and billed as a nameless “supermodel” in Woody Allen’s 1998 Celebrity. Since then, she’s been the face of Christian Dior’s J’adore and appeared on countless magazine covers. In the trailer, she appears as short-haired Imperator Fuirosa.

MEGAN GALE

Australian model Megan Gale appears to be channeling her inner Lynda Carter in the trailer. Serious Question: if you’re Australian, and they cast you in Mad Max, do you automatically become Australian royalty? Is that like the highest honor? Do you get a golden boomerang?

Zoë Kravitz, Riley Keough, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, along with Aussies Courtney Eaton and Abbey Lee Kershaw round out the rest of the cast.

Sorry Justin Bieber, Now 5SOS Have Their Own Mustaches

by 15 mins ago

While we’ve been wasting all our time worrying about whether Justin Bieber should keep his ‘stache or not, 5 Seconds of Summer have gone and thrown their flavor savers into the game.

What do you think?

Okay, theirs are fake, but here’s Bieber’s again, just in case it wasn’t seared into your brain already.

Here’s The Full-Frontal Liam Payne Pic You’ve Been Dreaming Of

by 38 mins ago

One Direction‘s Liam Payne knows how this works: give the people what they want and they’ll love your forever. And what they want, clearly, is a full-frontal pic of him hanging (all the way) loose on a boat.

So, on a lazy Sunday that’s exactly what he gave them. After losing his “last pair” of swim trunks, Payne looked surprised when someone snapped a shot of him flapping in the breeze on the boat deck.

Oh, never mind, he found them. Sorry, false alarm. But thanks for the more than one million likes and the #UncensoritLiam hashtag!

Angel Could Return As One Of The Four Horsemen In ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’

by 1 min ago

The teaser at the end of “X-Men: Days of Future Past” not only set up the villain for “X-Men: Apocalypse,” but also his acolytes, the Four Horsemen.

Readers who know the rotating quartet of villains from the comic books are likely familiar with a few of the group’s most famous members, arguably chief among them, Warren Worthington III, a.k.a. Angel, who served as Death for Apocalypse.

But since Ben Foster appeared as Angel in “X-Men: Last Stand,” set during the modern day, does that rule him out of the ’80s-set “Apocalypse”?

Not quite, says writer Simon Kinberg.

When I spoke with Kinberg at San Diego Comic-Con, he first made clear that they haven’t announced who the Four Horsemen will be, but he did explain how the implications of “Days of Future Past” open up the possibilities for the roster.

“I would say in terms of making any character decisions on ‘Apocalypse’ is, we set back the clock on ‘Days of Future Past,’ so a lot could have changed from that point in 1973 forward, meaning people could have been born earlier,” Kinberg said. “The whole world changed after those events. Things that were represented even ‘X1′ and ‘X2′ and ‘X3′ wouldn’t have happened in quite the same way.”

So that means Worthington could have been born earlier after “Days of Future Past” or even look entirely different.

Either way, it means that Archangel could ride with Apocalypse when the next “X-Men” movie hits on May 27, 2016.

Artist To Watch: Put The Vamps On Your Obsession List Immediately

by 19 mins ago

When most parents encourage their kids to pursue their musical interests, they usually only get a pretty OK oboe recital back in return. (Fine, and pride because unconditional love is real.) The parents of The Vamps, however, probably had a lot to gloat about at their PTA meetings back in the day.

In their short time on the music scene, the four members of this British pop/rock outfit — from left to right, that’s guitarist James McVey, bassist Connor Ball, lead singer Bradley Simpson, and drummer Tristan Evans — have already done their fair share of topping charts and taking names, and they’ve only just begun. So take that, “My child is an honor roll student” bumper stickers of the world.

1.) Who they are:

The VampsVirgin EMI

How did The Vamps form? Long story short, because the Internet. Long story less short, James was looking to start a band, and found Bradley over YouTube. Tristan hit up James on Facebook after seeing his and Bradley’s cover videos, and Connor joined in not long after. “YouTube opened all of this for us,” James says in a release. “Without it, we wouldn’t be a band.”

The Vamps started small, posting covers of everyone from Hanson to The Arctic Monkeys on YouTube, and soon they signed with EMI. Their first album, Meet The Vamps, was released in the U.K. last spring, and their debut American release, the Somebody ...

Watch The First ‘Mockingjay’ Teaser: Katniss Strikes Back

by 27 mins ago

She’s on fire!

Katniss Everdeen and the rebellion strike back at the Capitol of Panem in the first official teaser trailer for “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1,” the first film in the two-part finale of the “Hunger Games” franchise.

After one eerie propoganda video featuring a nefarious President Snow and an enigmatically aligned Peeta, and an equally energized response from the Rebellion, the newest teaser shows a much better look at the third “Hunger Games” film — making it clear we’re worlds removed from the Quarter Quell, and onto something much more dangerous.

Watch the trailer now:

The 13 Most Fan-Tastic Moments From The mtvU Fandom Awards

by 10 mins ago

“May the best fans win, dammit!”

These are the words made immortal by MTV’s own Tyler Posey, at the amazing, infectiously happy mtvU Fandom Awards straight from the ground at San Diego Comic-Con. The awards, which aired on Sunday (July 27), were a celebration of everything that makes fandom great — love, support, generosity, shippers, and Tumblr art.

Everybody from Posey to Chloë Moretz to Channing Tatum showed up to support their fandoms, with G-Eazy and and Linkin Park also stopping by to, you know, rock the house down.

And while there were so many moments that truly captured the fandom spirit, it was these 13 that were the clear highlights of an amazing show:

1. Joe Manganiello Loves “Orphan Black”

Nick Cannon loving “Pretty Little Liars” was pretty little hilarious, but Manganiello taking another dig at “True Blood” had us in stitches — especially because he got a well-deserved “Orphan Black” shout-out in, too!

“Vampire shows are lame,” he said, when convincing MTV’s Josh Horowitz to subscribe to his favorite fandom. “‘Orphan Black,’ that’s a show.”

Yes, yes it is.

2. Tyler Posey Loves Everything In General

From Batfleck to “Teen Wolf” fans to just being on stage with excited Con-goers in general, Posey was a fan of everything on Sunday, bringing his typical breed of infectious enthusiasm to the awards. We can’t wait to see him host “Teen Choice!”

3. “Game of Thrones” Honors Joffrey’s Memory; Wins “OMG Moment”

Sorry, “How I Met Your Mother” ending — it was HBO’s megahit “Thrones” that had people talking, specifically ...

Channing Tatum Gives Us An Exclusive Sneak Peek At ‘The Book of Life’

by 1 hour ago

MTV has your first look at your next big (animated) adventure: “The Book of Life.”

We (and Diego Luna and Channing Tatum) rolled out the first sneak peek at the family film during the mtvU Fandom Awards at San Diego Comic-Con on Sunday (July 27), but in case you missed it (or in case you want to watch it over and over again), here’s some brand new footage from the animated adventure comedy:

The story, which director Jorge Gutierrez describes as one man’s journey to be “reunited with the love of his life,” finds Manolo (voiced by Luna) traveling through magical realms to return to his Maria (Zoe Saldana), who is also being pursed by Joaquin (Tatum).

“We’re here tonight because behind each fandom there’s a great story,” Luna said before presenting the clip.

“And Comic-Con is the place where these stories about love, adventure, and the impossible come to life,” Tatum continued, before jumping right in to footage from the fantastical world of “Book of Life.”

Check out the footage above for some can’t miss scenes from the film, but especially for Tatum’s jealousy towards his character for having a rad mustache.

“The Book of Life” hits theaters on October 17.
