5 Seconds Of Summer Just Put On A Bunch Of Thongs

by 2 mins ago

5 Seconds of Summer are probably regretting singing about underwear now. On Monday (July 21), MTV put them to the true underwear test when the band visited us during “Live from MTV.”

Host Christina Garibaldi challenged Luke, Calum, Michael and Ashton to put on as many pairs of underwear as they could — including thongs. Surprisingly, Michael was pretty skilled at the whole thing.

Now, I won’t tell you the winner, because you can just rewatch the live stream here:

Weird Al Sounds Just Like Your Boss In ‘Mission Statement’

by 10 mins ago

The Mandatory Fun is officially over. Today marks the eighth and final day of consecutive “Weird Al” Yankovic music video releases, and it looks like the master parodist might have saved his best clip for last.

“Mission Statement” — which is currently only viewable on The Wall Street Journal‘s Speakeasy blog — is a non-stop onslaught of corporate jargon done in the style of Crosby, Stills & Nash’s “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes.”

“I wanted to do a song about all the ridiculous double-speak and meaningless buzzwords that I’ve been hearing in office environments my entire life,” Al told the WSJ. “I just thought it would be ironic to juxtapose that with the song stylings of [Crosby, Stills & Nash], whose music pretty much symbolizes the antithesis of corporate America.”

Consider yourself lucky if you’ve never had to endure an hourlong stream of buzzword vomit, likely including such hits as scalable, synergy, cross-platform, vis-à-vis, caveat, and more words that actual human beings would never utter outside of a conference room. Like, BRB — leveraging my hand over your mouth.

Kesha Has A ‘Hair Dye Party’: See What New Color She Landed On

by 12 mins ago

KeshaInstagram

Kesha is on a hair-coloring kick. While she flaunted her multicolored locks last year, she’s been sticking to one color recently, but changes it up every week. Earlier this month she had fully pink hair. Last week she introduced us to her lilac ’do, but she’s already moved on. Now she’s into blue.

KeshaInstagram

We can’t say we’re totally surprised—two days ago Kesha posted a color wheel to her Instagram. Though it seemed like she was asking her Animals what color she should go with at the “hair dye party,” the wheel was covered in a blue substance—her mind was def already made up.

The blue, like all the shades she’s dabbled in as of late, is pastel. What do you think it’ll be next week—pastel green? Maybe she’ll go for a bright hue? We’ll see next week (or, at least, in the very near future)!

Jeezy Rounds Up T.I. And Rich Homie Quan Behind The Scenes Of His ‘Me Okay’ Video

by 17 mins ago

With reporting by FLX

When Jeezy first came onto the rap scene in the early 2000s, the Snowman showed fans the gritty streets of Atlanta; and now for his upcoming video for “Me Okay,” the Trap or Die MC wants to go back to his roots.

“The video is basically about touching my town, getting in the streets and running through the neighborhoods that I often ran through and getting back out with the homies, kids and people of Atlanta,” Jeezy told MTV News on July 12 when we were on the set of the Motion Family-directed video.

Jeezy says he is the people’s champ and his city’s hero, but he wasn’t alone at the shoot. Snow was joined by T.I. and Rich Homie Quan, who will both appear in the clip when it’s done.

“Me Okay” is the first single from Jeezy’s fifth solo LP Seen It All. Though the album doesn’t drop until September 2, Jeezy dropped the title track, which features Jay Z, at the top of July. While we were on set with the rapper, he explained how Hov’s verse, where he told a detailed story about his hustling past brought the superstar MC to tears.

“We got on the phone and [Jay] was like, ‘Yo, Jeezy, when I was writing the verse I had tears in my eyes, man,’ because it took him so far back to Marcy,” Snow told us. “Every bar in that song was real — I put my hand on the ...

Daniel Radcliffe Doesn’t Think About His ‘Harry Potter’ Co-Stars Getting Naked

by 26 mins ago

Daniel Radcliffe shook off the image of being “the Harry Potter actor” when he dropped his cloak to go fully nude in a production of “Equus.”

But is he a little disappointed that his “Harry Potter” co-stars didn’t follow suit?

“I certainly look like the most enthusiastic nudist of the three of us,” Radcliffe told MTV News. “It’s not something that I think about particularly.”

The rest of the conversation is kind of a blur, but it ends with Radcliffe suggesting that the interview would be better in the nude.

Daniel Radcliffe’s new movie “What If” opens in theaters on August 8.

Emma Stone And 10 Other Celebs Who Could Literally Marry You

by 1 min ago

Over this past weekend, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo were officially married!

What great news. We’re so happy for them. And their wedding sounded like a blast, too — it took place in Cabo San Lucas, Stevie Nicks played, Jason Segel was there, Jonah Hill was the minister…

Wait, slow down for a second. WHAT?! You’re telling me that the subject of this world-class exorcism married two gorgeous celebrities in front of the eyes of God?

Well, sort of. The wedding also featured a blessing by Prinsloo’s father, who is actually a minister in his everyday life. Jonah was just there to make jokes, but still — he’s far from being the only celeb to officially officiate a wedding. Here’s the short list of who you should call, should you ever need a super famous person to preside over your nuptials:

1. Emma Stone

Monica Schipper/FilmMagic


Stone officiated the wedding of her publicist, Holly Shakoor, to “Gangster Squad” director Ruben Fleischer in 2012.

2. Benedict Cumberbatch

Sherlock stumbled a bit during John Watson’s best man speech, but Cumberbatch himself (probably, we assume) killed it when he married his pals Seth Cummings and Rob Rinder in Ibiza last summer.

We Learned Too Much About The Weeknd’s Sex Life On ‘King Of The Fall’

by 1 min ago

We’re not going to act like The Weeknd makes PG music of any sort, but the Toronto singer definitely ventures into overshare territory near the end of his latest single “King of the Fall.”

The track finds Abel crooning seductively about snatching girls from right under their boyfriends’ noses, and then he gives us some serious insight on one of his sexual demands. Instead of describing it, we recommend that you just listen for learn for yourself.

This new track follows “Often” and his appearance on Ty Dolla $ign’s “Or Nah (Remix).” His King Of The Fall Tour with Schoolboy Q and Jhené Aiko kicks off September 19 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, before hitting his hometown two days later.

First ‘Jurassic World’ Poster Has A Couple Hidden Details

by 15 mins ago

Now that we’re officially in Comic-Con week, the number of very, very cool exclusives has gone through the roof, and “Jurassic World” director Colin Trevorrow has announced something special for his little, upcoming film.

Well, that’s pretty cool.

The poster comes from artist Mark Englert and will probably only belong to the most dedicated of San Diego Comic-Con attendees.

That being the case, it’s up to us to do what we can with the image on our screens.

If you take a look in the background, it appears that a thriving Jurassic World is expanding before our eyes, with construction equipment building up the attraction. But a sinister secret lies in the foreground, complete with eggs hidden in the wreckage of a Jurassic Park jeep.

This seems to hint that while whoever is reviving the theme park is building it up, the old threat of dinosaurs on the loose lurks in the shadows.

Because remember, kids. Life finds a way.

“Jurassic World” opens in theaters on June 12, 2015.

The Hamptons Aren’t So Taken With Kourtney & Khloe Kardashian

by 22 mins ago

From landing on your private backyard helipad in 25 mph winds to not giggling every time someone over-emphasizes the first syllable in “ascot,” life in the Hamptons sure is rough. I guess the added pressure of keeping up with the Kardashians was just a little too much for certain seasonal residents.

TMZ reports that stickers have popped up all over New York’s summer getaway protesting Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian’s presence in the Hamptons — the sisters are currently filming “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” spin-off “Kourtney & Khloe Take The Hamptons” in the area.

The decals bear the likenesses of the two women, which have been crossed out with a red line, along with the social media-savvy hashtag, “#NODASH.”

The perpetrator remains at large, but cops assured TMZ that, if caught in the act, he or she will be cited with defacing public property.

I think I speak for everyone when I say: Hamptons, don’t be f–king rude.

7 Reasons We’re Shocked Action Park Was Allowed To Reopen

by 27 mins ago

The phrase “so fun it should be illegal” does not seem like the best marketing slogan for an amusement park — but for fans of New Jersey’s Action Park, this saying captures its original essence. After an insane legacy of death and injury in the 1980s, the park reopened earlier this month. And despite the new promise of “all the thrills, but none of the spills,” it’s easy to imagine the place is haunted.

Given the park’s tumultuous history with local thrill-seekers, this comeback is a huge summer surprise. Here’s why…

1. The Crazy Cannon Ball Loop

This upside-down slide was so dangerous it was reportedly only operating for one month in 1985 before the New Jersey Carnival Amusement Ride Safety Advisory Board forced it to close due to numerous injuries. The absurd sight of the loop defying logic and gravity at the same time made it a legend, when it was actually just evidence of the park’s greater disregard for safety. One former employee says he was offered $100 to “test run it.”

2. The Tidal “Grave” Pool

Action Park’s Tidal Wave pool resulted in several drownings and even more close calls, as many former employees and patrons recall on Reddit:

“I worked there as a teenager. good times. I was on-site when we lost someone in the wave pool. Honestly a miracle that more people didn’t die there. Every single day, I had to rescue at least 3-5 people from drowning. Idiots from ...
