Kimye Rumor Roundup: Who, Where, When And More

by 05/16/14

Now that the Knowles-Carter family have put that elevator-fight scandal to rest, we can get back to discussing what truly matters in the world of geo-political current events: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West‘s wedding.

For those of us who have been keeping up with the Kardashian-West nuptuals, today has been a bit much to handle. One second, they’ve been confirmed for a ceremony in Florence, and the next they’re saying “I do” at the Palace of Versailles. I haven’t even gotten to all the other conflicting information out there about the guest list, the dress, the cake — even the silverware picked out for the reception!

Obviously, all of this information cannot be true (OR CAN IT?!), so I’ve gathered it all up in one handy Kimye Wedding Rumor Roundup in the hopes of getting to the bottom of it. If I don’t make it back by sundown, tell my boyfriend that it’s his turn to walk the dog tonight.

Where is this wedding?

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West

Up until recently, everyone’s pretty much assumed that the already-iconic Kimye Wedding™ would take place in Paris, which makes sense, seeing as how she and Kanye have a second apartment there. I mean, she even said as much on a January episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, hinting: “I think it’s kind of obvious that it’s in Paris.”

That all changed earlier today when a spokeswoman from the mayor’s office of Florence, Italy, released a ...

The 27 Floweriest Flower Crowns Of Hangout Fest 2014

by 05/16/14

It wouldn’t be a music festival without a ton of flower crowns.

Hangout Fest 2014 has the beachiest, most free-flowing fans I’ve ever seen, and they weren’t afraid to show off their accessories. From bikini tops to bandanas to white lace croptops, the Hangouters have style.

But of course, I have to put some major hang-loose hands in the air for these ladies who really amped up the flower-crown swag. From those who bought theirs on-site to those who constructed theirs on the car ride down to Gulf Shores, Alabama, I have to give props to these floral fanatics.

Here are the ladies who really brought their botanical game to Hangout Festival.

Danny Brown’s Tip For Meeting Your Favorite Artist: Don’t Be A Fan Boy

by 05/16/14

The 2014 Hangout Festival is currently underway in Gulf Shores, Alabama, which means there’s a pretty good chance that music fans can bump into some of their favorite artists this weekend. But, what happens when you actually do bump into your favorite rapper? Danny Brown advises you to play it cool. No words, or photo requests necessary — in other words, don’t be a fan boy.

The Detroit rapper hit the stage on Thursday night for his set, but he’s also a big fan of headlining act OutKast, who will close the show on Sunday. He revealed the songs he’d be most excited to hear live (“Spottieottiedopaliscious” and “Mamacita”) but when asked how he would react if he bumped into them backstage, Danny admitted that he wouldn’t say a word. Literally.

“I think I freak people out when I get a ‘lil too fan boy, so when I see artists that I really really like, I just freeze up and don’t say nothing,” he revealed. “In this day and age, I think it’s the real way to go, because nowadays, you have so many people that’s probably not even a fan, they probably just want that picture for Instagram.”

2014 Hangout Festival

“Back in the day, if you saw somebody you really liked, you couldn’t do nothing but get their name written on some paper. They wouldn’t take a picture with you because you didn’t have a camera on you.”

So, is he recommending that you keep it ...

Action Bronson Announces Album Title, Confirms He Is Not A “Scientific Wizard Or Inspirational Poet”

by 05/16/14

Many think that Action Bronson is a talented, creative, humorous rapper. If the name of his upcoming album is any indication, he seems to agree.

Mr. Wonderful will be Bam Bam’s major label debut, released through Atlantic Records/Vice Records.

“The album is sounding incredible,” he told NME recently. “The whole album is a standout. I don’t care about individual songs, I’m trying to make a complete, classic project.”

For fans worried that the New York native may switch up his style because he’s releasing a project on a major, fear not.

“I just do my music uninfluenced by anybody else, or current trends, and it comes together at the end,” he said. “Nothing needs to have a f–king theme all the time. This is just rap. I’m not trying to make people think I’m some sort of scientific wizard or inspirational poet. F–k that! It’s just happy, funny, rugged, rough rap.”

After the announcement for the album, which should drop later in 2014, his fans seemed happy, too.

Cam’ron Wasn’t In The Studio With Just Blaze For ‘Dipsh–s,’ But He ‘Would Love To’ Work With Him Again

by 05/16/14

With reporting by Rob Markman

There’s no denying Cam’ron and Just Blaze have incredible chemistry. Together the charismatic rapper and multiplatinum producer have cooked up some unforgettable tracks and they did it once again, earlier this week, when they dropped “Dipsh–s.”

“It’s been a long time — maybe ten years,” Cam’ron told MTV News at the 5th annual FlashFWD Awards. “I just had a show with Just, actually, in D.C. about three weeks ago. So, me and Just are still in communication and we’re still good, but we haven’t actually been in a session together for a while.”

The track, which will be included on Cam and A-Trak’s upcoming Federal Reserve EP, was co-produced by A-Trak, Just Blaze, and Oliver; they just weren’t all in the studio at the same time.

“With the way technology works these days, A-Trak can come bring me a session, and I can end up changing the entire thing,” Just told MTV News on Friday (May 16).

And that’s kind of what happened. Just says A-Trak and Oliver brought him the beat — after Cam had rapped on it — and he ended up stripping it down, removing the sample, adding in live instrumentation, changing the drums and adding Dame Dash’s rant at the end.

It wasn’t a quick process, either.

“I was working on the master to that record up until eight hours before the video came out,” Just said, adding that it took him about a month to finish the record.

“As soon as I sent A-Trak the final, ...

Rihanna’s a bad gal that just wants to have fun, and seriously what could be more fun than raiding Nicki Minaj‘s wig closet? Well, absolutely nothing.

On Thursday, Rihanna jokingly tweeted that she ravaged Nicki’s closet and ended up choosing a pixie pink number, that she, of course, flawlessly rocked. In fact, she looked so good Nicki approved the look with an enthusiastic “YASSS bitch yasssssss!!!.”

Shailene Woodley Is A Grenade In New ‘Fault In Our Stars’ Clip

by 05/16/14

OK, everyone, it’s tissue time. Yes, there’s a new clip from “The Fault In Our Stars.” Yes, it’s a fan-favorite scene. Yes, you’ll probably cry. (This is “The Fault In Our Stars” we’re talking about here.)

Remember the part in the book where Hazel Grace (played by the tear-inducing Shailene Woodley in the film) tells Augustus (the sob-worthy Ansel Elgort) that she’s “a grenade”? Well, now you will, because you’re about to cry about it see it in living color, right before your very eyes.

Popsugar debuted the new clip, and dang, it’s a weapon of weepy destruction. Watch Hazel and Gus chillax on the Swing Set of Tears, while she explains exactly why she can’t be with him, even though he is a tall, handsome, one-legged drink of water. And then — no, shut up, you’re crying! — he tells her it would be a privilege to have his heart broken by her.

A privilege.

Thud.

The Fault In Our Stars” hits you right in the feel bones theaters June 6.

‘Interstellar’ Is A ‘Field Of Dreams’ Remake: Here’s Proof

by 05/16/14

Christopher Nolan is always so secretive about his movies, even shrouding his trailers in mystery. The phenomenal new trailer for “Interstellar” is no different, giving us lots of Matthew McConaughey; but not too much in the way of actual plot. So what’s the big secret?

We think we’ve figured it out: a midwestern farmer and family man with lots of corn who apparently loves baseball and is given a secret, otherworldly mission by mysterious forces?

Sounds an awful lot like “Field of Dreams” to us, and here’s the proof. You can’t fool us, Nolan.

“Interstellar” hits theaters this November.

Kim Kardashian And Kanye West’s Italian Wedding: Get The Details

by 05/16/14

Pack your bags, we’re headed to Florence.

Well, not us exactly, but Kim and Kanye are. After months of teasing that the Kardashian/West wedding would take place in Paris, the couple have apparently decided to forgo those plans and tie the knot at Florence’s 16th-century Belvedere Fort On Saturday, May 24.

Elisa Di Lupa, a spokeswoman from Florence’s mayor’s office, confirmed the news in a statement on Friday (May 16), adding that the couple rented the venue for €300,000 ($410,000) and a Protestant minister will preside over the ceremony.

The fort, which was built in 1590 for the ruling Medici family, is known for its panoramic views of Florence and the surrounding Tuscan hills. The venue was closed for five years for renovation, and only reopened its doors in 2013.

In an interview published on Friday in Florence’s La Nazione newspaper, Kanye said he was “very excited” and “very happy” about his upcoming wedding.

“I adore Florence,” he shared. “I love Italy and the Italian lifestyle. To tell you the truth, I already came to the banks of the Arno [river] with Kim last year, just the two of us, incognito.”

He continued, “I think that our daughter North was conceived here among the Renaissance masterpieces. It was our first honeymoon. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, for me the most beautiful in Europe.”

But Kimye may not have counted out Paris completely. Entertainment Tonight is reporting that the festivities will begin with a dinner ...
