Tony Stark’s having a party. Didn’t you get the invitation?

New information about “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” reveals that ol’ Shellhead’s throwing a shindig, designed to help Earth’s mightiest heroes shmooze with some bigwigs. Outside of the core Avengers squad, there are plenty of Marvel Cinematic Universe characters we hope to see at Tony’s party — especially considering we know that James “Rhodey” Rhodes, aka War Machine, will definitely be in attendance.

Aside from the Avengers and War Machine, here are the 21 people we want to see at Tony’s grand gathering at Avengers Tower:

1. Pepper Potts

If Rhodey’s in town, Pepper can’t be far behind. Not cool to invite the best pal but leave the loved one behind — and Tony Stark doesn’t do “not cool.”

2. Sam Wilson

If best friends are tagging along as plus ones, then there’s no one better for Captain America to bring along than the Falcon — although he might want to keep an eye on his stars and stripes.

3. Peggy Carter

There’s no better time for that last dance.

4. Phil Coulson

Everyone thinks he’s dead, but he’s not, as “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” fans are well aware. What better opportunity than Tony Stark’s Avengers party to come out and surprise the people who thought they saw him die?

5. Hank Pym

He’s not the designer of Ultron in the movies, but he is the designer of Ultron in the ...

What Would Kevin Arnold Think?
Sorry, Winnie Cooper fans, but your beloved “Wonder Years” girl-next-door is officially off the market! Danica McKellar took to Twitter and Instagram to break the news (and a lot of hearts) that she is engaged to her boyfriend Scott Sveslosky.

Usually Dead Grandfathers Leave You More Money…
Emma Stone told David Letterman Wednesday that she believes that her dead grandfather is leaving her quarters everywhere she goes. She revealed that there is a long family history with quarters and is CONVINCED that there is no other explanation for the mysterious appearance of these coins. Oh yeah, and did I mention Emma has never actually met him?

Drizzy And Breezy Patch Things Up
Drake and Chris Brown have definitely squashed their beef in this skit featured on the ESPYs Wednesday night. If you recall the two were involved in a brawl at an NYC nightclub back in 2012, but Breezy’s cameo in this skit mainly starring Drake and Blake Griffin and this photo of them working in the studio prove that they’re all good.

Selena, What Does Tat Say?
Selena Gomez sports some new ink on her back, but at first glance you won’t know what it says unless you understand Arabic. She asked NYC-based celebrity tattoo artist Bang Bang to etch “Love Yourself First” on her skin, and in a E! News interview Bang Bang revealed that the singer wanted to get ...

There’s a ghost inside the machine that runs Panem’s government Twitter account.

Earlier this week, a strange tweet was sent from the Capitol’s Ministry of Information. At first glance, the fragmented line of code seemed like it must have been a mistake – one remedied when the tweet was deleted almost immediately.

HOWEVER. For those with an ear to the ground for whispers from District 13, that random-looking letter sequence would have been anything but. G-Bb-A-D: those are the four whistled notes of Rue’s song from the 74th Annual Hunger Games. And swift-fingered users who clicked on “inspect element” before the tweet disappeared discovered that this was no mistake.

It’s a message.

And somewhere, BeeTee is sitting back from a bank of computers and getting high fives from everybody.

Gird your loins, Tributes. The Revolution is coming! And since activity on the One Panem Twitter often heralds the drop of some new bit of movie buzz, this could be a sign that another “Mockingjay” teaser might be imminent, too.

Um, so recently there has been some discussion of who the best member of One Direction is and it’s, honestly, not a competition. So far we’ve heard arguments in favor of Liam (LOL), Harry (yeah right!), and Zayn (nope), but now we arrive at the true winner of the band, a blond Irish dude who goes by the name of Niall Horan.

It’s not like proof is really even needed—he’s the only blond and only Irish member in the band, hello—but in case you need some further convincing, here are nine reasons why Niall is the best.

He Wins At Selfies

We all know Niall is the king of selfies (where are your selfie posts, Harry, Zayn and Liam?), but he not only takes them with celebs, but while he’s doing mundane things like filling his car with gas. Niall: He really is just like us! Plus, hi, he’s pumping gas even though he’s in the most popular boy band in the world.

He Plays An Instrument

Unlike the four other members in One Direction, Niall is pulling his weight both vocally and instrumentally. He’s the only member who plays an instrument, so maybe he can offer lessons to the other guys? It’s not like they’re dancing up there, TBH.

Look At Him Jump!

He is an excellent jumper, as demonstrated by this GIF. He just had knee surgery but is RIGHT back in it.

Did We Mention He’s Irish?

He is so proud of being Irish (and a princess, ...

Despite the fact that early reviews deemed him a “chicken head,” Drake undeniably killed it hosting the ESPYs on Wednesday night. Even I — as a foreigner to the world of “sports” — managed to be entertained throughout the two-and-a-half-hour show, and Drizzy and his all-linen everything are the only ones to thank for that.

It’s hard to pick just one best moment from last night’s show. So instead, we picked seven.

1. When He Let Chris Brown Cut Him Open
Guess those bottle-throwing days are behind them?

2. When He Dressed Up Like Manny Pacquiao And Sang ‘Let It Go’

3. When He Tore Apart Donald Sterling… In Song
“Sterling never loved us.” Get it?

4. When He Seductively Blew In Lance Stephenson’s Ear
Because he’s the romantic rapper, after all.

5. When He Read A Super Raunchy Poem For Skylar Diggins… And It Somehow Worked

She didn’t let him dig in but she did give him a kiss on the forehead.

6. When He Brought Out Brian McKnight And Had Us Starting Back At One
Like a dream come true.

7. When He Introduced Floyd Mayweather In A British Accent
And with medieval-era trumpeteers by his side. Because, it’s Floyd Mayweather.

Step aside, Steve Rogers. There’s a new Captain America in town — and he’s one of your best friends!

After making the big announcement about the new female Thor, Marvel Entertainment doubled down this week by announcing a new hero taking over the star-spangled mantle from Rogers: Sam Wilson, better known as the high-flying Falcon.

Marvel Comics

Wilson takes on Cap’s stars, stripes and shield in the pages of “All-New Captain America” #1, written by Rick Remender and illustrated by Stuart Immonen. The exact specifics behind Falcon’s promotion aren’t yet known, but one thing is already clear: The only thing better than a shield-slinging superhero is a shield-slinging superhero with wings.

“Historically, Falcon would often act as air support, flying Steve into the battle. Why not merge the two?” Remender tells Marvel.com. “He pops the wings, and as he flies, he keeps the shield latched onto his back. He dives down onto the scene, hurls the shield, wings retract, and rolls into a kick or jump, catches the shield on the way back. He doesn’t have the super soldier serum, but he has the added zing-zang-zoom of flight.”

This is the first time Falcon has assumed the Captain America name and likeness, though not the first time another hero has stepped into Steve Rogers’ shoes. As recently as seven years ago, Steve Rogers “died,” leaving his former partner and pal Bucky Barnes to take on the Captain America title. Steve eventually ...

“Wild ‘N Out” kept its streak of great performances alive Wednesday night (July 16) when Vic Mensa hit the stage to treat the crowd to his latest single, “Feel That.”

Just like with the audio, the Chicago native brought unfiltered energy with his performance of the song, whose video dropped earlier today.

“The video completely reflects the vibe of the song,” he told MTV News recently. “I see music in colors and this one was like green, orange, purple, dark hues and that’s what the video is.”

And the idea for the song came out of a late night studio session.

“Me and [Smoko Ono] was in the studio one day and I’d made a different record, and then I was like, ‘man, put on the beat, lemme just freestyle over over one of your beats,’” he said. “It was like middle of the night — we’d been in the studio all evening — I was talking sh– in the booth, and I said ‘I feel that.’”

We feel it, too, and so did the crowd at “Wild ‘N Out.”

Drake has seemed like a natural all night onstage hosting the ESPY Awards — from delivering his jokes, to pre-taped skits to the few times he danced. But never was he in his comfort zone as much as during his performance of two parody songs specially written for the show.

“Honorable Mention” and “Side Pieces” (with a guest spot from Brian McKnight) may have been written as jokes — poking fun at runners up in sports and, well, side pieces, respectively — but they were seriously good. Seriously. Give ‘em a listen yourself.

Leah and Corey have often had difficulty seeing eye-to-eye when it comes their daughter Ali’s muscular dystrophy diagnosis. For one, Corey has had trouble accepting the severity of their little girl’s condition. Secondly, the former couple has had differing views about Ali’s schooling. And on the season premiere of “Teen Mom 2,” more struggles surface — but this time, Leah and Corey agree on how to handle them.

While dropping Ali off after a weekend visit, Corey informed Leah that their daughter is becoming more aware of her health issues. The proof: she told her dad that she’s “not strong” because of her condition. Corey was shaken by the incident but swiftly tried to lift Ali’s spirits. Meanwhile, Ali’s difficult admission didn’t sit well with Leah, who says she does everything she can to encourage her daughter to dream big and reach for the stars.

Soon after, Leah took her mother and Ali, plus her other daughters Aleah and Adalynn, out to lunch — and the topic immediately came up. Leah was quick to make sure her daughter understands exactly what her diagnosis means, and reinforced the lessons she’s already taught her.

“Mommy said, ‘Yes, you do have muscular dystrophy, but Ali can do what?’” Leah asked.

“Anything I want,” Ali softly responded.

“Ali’s gonna do anything she wants — whenever she wants to do it,” Leah said to Ali as the two pinky-promised.

It’s never easy to have challenging conversations with your ...

When we heard rumors that Drake and Chris Brown would share some screen time at the ESPYs on Wednesday night (July 16), we didn’t know what to expect. But to be honest, we didn’t expect something as great as this.

Toward the end of a skit that mainly starred Drizzy and NBA All-Star Blake Griffin — it positioned the two as friends turned foes who were seeking revenge by playing heinous practical jokes on one another — Breezy appeared. Griffin had snuck in to be Drake’s surgeon during an appendectomy, which would have been bad enough given the circumstances of the skit.

And then it turned out CB would actually be the one with the sharp objects in his hand while Drake lied on the operating table.

In case you somehow missed it, Drake and Chris Brown have a bit of a thorny history. In 2012, the two and their entourages were involved in a bar brawl in New York City, and things didn’t seem to cool off for a while, either. Though there were reports last year that the two had put their differences aside, the ESPYs skit — showing their willingness to work together and play off of each other and their past — seems to be our best evidence to date of that claim being a reality.

(Chris also poked fun at his own image, calling himself “America’s Sweetheart” towards the end of the sketch.)

The clip came just days after the two ...
