Trey Songz on ‘Foreign (remix)’ with Bieber

Trey Songz is back with his new album Trigga and we have the exclusive MTV First premiere.

Included on the album is Trey’s “Foreign (remix)” featuring Justin Bieber, which he was very excited to share with fans.

“I’m elated for people to hear how [Bieber] sounds on it, because the first reaction I get from a lot of people is: ‘Who is that?’ Because you don’t expect him to be on a record like that,” Trey told MTV News earlier this month.

“It’s incredible. We’ve seen Justin Bieber grow in the last few years. People have a lot of opinions on how he’s chosen to live his life in a lot of ways, but one thing we can’t deny is that musically, he’s evolved,” Trey added. “Last year he went out on an edge and made the world –basically — accept him doing R&B.”

Stream Trigga below and at TreySongz.MTV.com.

Queen Elizabeth Wins The ‘Game Of Thrones,’ Errbody Go Home

by 7 mins ago

Sorry, Stannis. Too bad, Daenerys. And Tommen, get your tiny butt out of that chair. Queen Elizabeth II paid a visit to the set of “Game of Thrones” in Northern Ireland, where with a steely glare she laid claim to the seat that everyone in the seven kingdoms has spent four seasons fighting over.

The #IronThrone as you've never seen it before... @GameofThrones

Yep, it’s over. Her Highness in the banana-hued hat now holds the Iron Throne.
Literally.

Austin Mahone Planning The Perfect First Date For His Little Mix Crush

by 10 mins ago

One (lucky) member of Little Mix seems to have Austin Mahone saying “MMM Yeah.”

The pop star and the girl group were on hand at London’s famed 02 Arena for the CapitalFM Summertime Ball on Monday, where Austin ran into a bit of a body lotion emergency while perfecting his moves for a performance.

“I actually needed lotion!” Austin told CapitalFM. “I was practicing my backflip and I kept falling on the grass and the grass was making me itch like crazy. And there was no girls around, but Little Mix were next door. Four girls — they have to have lotion. So they helped me out.”

But Austin may walked away with more than just lotion during that brief encounter because he seems to have developed a crush on Little Mix member Leigh-Anne Pinnock.

“Yeah I fancy her,” Austin admitted. “Does that mean I like her? Yeah, I like her.”

Unfortunately, for Austin, who was rumored to be dating Fifth Harmony member Camilla Cabello, Leigh-Anne already has a boyfriend. But if they ever do break up, Mahone already has the perfect plan for their first date.

“I don’t know any cool places but I’ll find a nice restaurant,” he said. “Maybe I’ll have a little thing set up in the London Eye and have them stop at the top and have a nice dinner.”

Mindy Kaling’s Vegas Birthday Party Pics Are Your FOMO Fix Of The Day

by 24 mins ago

The most hazardous side effect of Instagram use has always been FOMO (which stands for “fear of missing out,” Mom), but this has never really been a huge problem for us until Mindy Kaling decided to take her friends and “Mindy Project” staffers along for her epic 35th birthday party in Vegas.

Now, before you start thinking about Vegas as a land filled with drunk bachelorettes in tiaras and even drunker bros in neon tank tops, hear us out — Mindy, as evidenced by the photos she’s been sharing over the past 24-ish hours, is doing Vegas right. No fruity yardstick at Wet Republic or $4,000 table at XS for Mindy, just lazy poolside cabana service, meatball-fueled dinners, and, most importantly, Cirque du Freaking Soleil. It’s exactly the kind of trip we’ve always dreamed about, but just didn’t necessarily have the budget to pull off.

So enjoy these photos as an Insta-Zagat guide of sorts to what you should be doing in Vegas, and maybe try to get a job as a writer on “The Mindy Project” so you can be invited next year. It’s probably not hard.

5SOS And The Vamps Fan Fiction Turned Real: See The Photo

by 26 mins ago

Tumblr, don’t fail me now. Earlier today (June 24), a photo got posted to The Vamps’ official Instagram account that shows guitarist James McVey and bassist Connor Ball casually chatting about “hairspray and bearded dragons” with 5 Seconds Of Summer’s Mikey Clifford and Ash Irwin, and — oh my god — did some practitioner of “The Secret” manifest this fan fiction into real life?!?!

At least Ash seems to understand just how monumental this meeting of the man-crushes is. Look at him, staring off into the void as a vision of His Almighty the Dread Cthulhu tears a rift in the space-time continuum. Let the others act all nonchalant — you know what this boy-band alignment truly signifies.

5SOS, 5 Seconds Of Summer, The Vamps,Instagram

Based on the outfits, the photo must have been taken backstage at British radio station Capital FM’s Summertime Ball on June 21, where 5SOS played tracks like “Don’t Stop,” “She Looks So Perfect,” and a cover of Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” — though sadly no “Amnesia.”

For their part, The Vamps’ setlist included “Can We Dance,” “Wild Heart,” and their new Demi Lovato-featuring single, “Somebody To You.”

Look for The Vamps’ Somebody To You EP, which drops August 4 in the U.S., plus 5SOS’ self-titled debut album when it drops stateside on July 22. Until then, you can hit up HairsprayAndBeardedDragons.tumblr.com, where ...

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Trailer Clears Up The Alien Question

by 30 mins ago

For fans of the ’80s cartoon, the new trailer for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” should bare more of a resemblance to the phenomenon than any previous look at the film. There’s banter, April O’Neil’s yellow jacket, and Shredder.

There is still, however, a shocking lack of pizza.

The preview debuted after fans unlocked a series of character posters, giving them their best look yet at the reimagined versions of Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo, who were also featured much more prominently in the new trailer than previous ones.

The story this time around introduces a new generation to the turtles — and they’re definitely turtles, for any fans still worried about rumors of a new, alien origin. There’s even a knowing exchange in the trailer, seemingly addressing those concerns.

“So they’re aliens?” asks Will Arnett as Vernon Fenwick. “No,” April says. “That’s stupid.”

I see what you did there, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”

There’s also an interesting twist included in the spot. It appears that William Fichtner, who is credited at “The Shredder,” might not be the guy in the suit, at least early on in an attack that leaves Master Splinter in need of avenging. Is the rat sensei in danger of dying? That would certainly shake things up in the series.

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” opens in theaters on August 8.

Amber Portwood On Her Troubled ‘Teen Mom’ Past: ‘I Will Never Be Ashamed’

by 22 mins ago

In an inspirational tweet, Amber Portwood says her troubled history has only helped her grow into the woman she is today.

The former “Teen Mom” cast member has certainly turned her life around after battling drug addiction and spending time behind bars (she was released early from prison last November after serving 17 months for violating probation surrounding a drug possession case). And after taking to Twitter with the heartfelt reflection yesterday, the 24-year-old received a mountain of support from her social media followers:

But it’s not all serious sentiments when it comes to Amber’s status updates: She also likes to get silly from time to time with her adorable five-year-old daughter, Leah, as evidenced by this Miley Cyrus-inspired pose:

Tonight’s ‘Celebrity Wife Swap’ Has Already Made Heidi Montag’s Mom Proud

by 8 mins ago

Darlene Egelhoff wasn’t thrilled when her daughter Heidi Montag married Spencer Pratt on “The Hills.” But according to Heidi, her mother is all smiles about the couple’s latest endeavor.

Tonight, Heidi will temporarily trade lives and partners with Olympic Gold medalist Amanda Beard on ABC’s “Celebrity Wife Swap.” And though the episode has yet to air, Heidi says the promos have already given Darlene hope that the public will finally see a different, more genuine side of her little girl.

“My mom saw the preview and she told me, ‘I can tell this is the first opportunity that you’ve ever had to be you,’” Heidi shared with Fox News yesterday. “It’s just great to have that moment. It was really fun to just be more authentic and be in a situation and see what happens.”

“Hills” flashback: Darlene visits Los Angeles after getting word that Heidi and Spencer eloped in Mexico.

The blonde bombshell has been rather forthcoming about her own quest to become a parent despite husband Spencer’s hesitation, and noted in the Fox News interview that filming tonight’s episode awakened a maternal instinct in her.

“I think when [Amanda's child] Doone fell asleep on me the first night, I mean, it just really solidified my longing for motherhood — it was everything I thought it would be,” she revealed, adding that she hopes to get pregnant within a year and ultimately have two or three kids.

Spencer, however, is still perfectly comfortable waiting ...

Grey Worm From ‘Game Of Thrones’ Is Also A Secret Singer

by 11 mins ago

‘Round these parts, Jacob Anderson is probably best known as the actor who plays Grey Worm — the stoic leader of Daenerys Targaryen’s Unsullied army, whose, er, stoneless pillar prompted some mighty interesting research into pop culture biology.

But when he’s not playing a eunuch on TV, Anderson has a whole other career as a cutie-pie R&B artist named Raleigh Ritchie, who sits on park benches and sings forlornly into coffee cups about his struggle to make his way in the world.

The video for “Stronger Than Ever,” from Anderson/Ritchie’s EP Black and Blue, is worth it for the sight alone of his rarely-seen facial scruff in extreme closeup — but do stay for the part where he gets suddenly caught in his own tiny, personal hurricane.

‘Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’: How They Made The Damn Dirty Apes

by 22 mins ago

The big factor behind the success of the revitalized “Planet of the Apes” series — aside from the movies being, you know, good — has been the technological advances that the effects team at WETA has been able to bring to ape effects.

The motion capture technology, combined with performances from actors like Andy Serkis and Toby Kebell, has created apes that the audience not only believes but empathizes with.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” brought with it new challenges for WETA, and the behind-the-scenes featurette above (via IGN) offers a good look at what the effects company did to up the scale for the upcoming epic.

“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” opens in theaters on July 11.
