How Did Tyga Vs. Lil Durk Turn Into A Rap Battle Royale?

by 05/08/14

Tyga and Lil Durk started the week with a run-of-the-mill rap battle, but now, the one-on-one verbal joust has turned into a full-blown battle royale. Game, Chief Keef, L.E.P. Bogus Boys and very-much incarcerated Bump J are all involved, one way or another.

So how did we get here?

According to Durk, Tyga stopped responding to his texts for a planned collaboration, so the newly crowned XXL freshman threw a jab at T-Raww on Meek Mill’s “Chiraq” track on Saturday. It only took Tyga a few days to release his response in full, but he didn’t go in alone.

In a surprising twist, Game joined Tyga on “Chiraq to LA” and delivered a scathing verse directed at Durk. It was electric and drew applause from Chief Keef, who responded to an MTV News tweet by posting the cover art for Game and Tyga’s dis track on his social media account.

The Keef tweet (and Instagram post) drew a line in the sand for Durk. “Sosa posted tyga and game diss on ig ……dats sayin f–chiraq,” he tweeted about his fellow Chicagoan.

Hope you’re still following us, because it’s about to get even more complicated.

Game used a divide-and-strategy in his “Chiraq to LA.” Not only did the Compton MC down Durk, he also shouted out a number of Chicago rap and street figures, except when he mistakenly saluted L.E.P. Bogus Boys as the “L.E.D. Bogus Boys.”

The slight didn’t sit well with L.E.P. rapper G Count, who dropped a dis ...

Seth Rogen Vs. Justin Bieber: The Beef Timeline

by 05/08/14

Seth Rogen really doesn’t like Justin Bieber … and we mean really doesn’t like him.

CLICK: Justin Bieber Is Sorry He Didn’t ‘Bow Down’ To Seth Rogen

In fact, the actor has been rather vocal about his feelings on the pop star while promoting his new flick, “Neighbors,” this past week. His ongoing shots finally triggered a response from Justin, who hit Twitter to say he was sorry he didn’t “bow down” to the movie star when they first met.

Up until that moment, it seemed to be a one-sided beef, with Seth calling Justin everything from a “piece of sh–” to “obnoxious” and “ungrateful.” So how did this all begin? Well, we went back over the last few months and complied everything Seth has said about the Biebs.

January 23, 2014: The Tweet That Started The Fued
Following Justin’s arrest for drag racing and a DUI in Miami back in January, Seth took to Twitter to share his opinion of the incident.

March 12, 2014: “Watch What Happens Live”
Seth sat down with Bravo’s Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” to clear up that tweet, which actually needed no clearing up at all.

“He seems like he’s obnoxious and ungrateful, insincere, and he puts people’s lives at danger,” Seth said. “And overall, he acts like a piece of sh–.”

May 5, 2014: “The Howard Stern Show”
Two months after Rogen’s last comment, Howard Stern got Seth going again, this time discussing meeting Justin for the first time. The pop star apparently requested an ...

Wanna Hang Backstage With Lady Gaga? She Tells Us How

by 05/08/14

Just several days after Lady Gaga kicked off her artRave: The ARTPOP Ball Tour, Mother Monster decided to treat her fans to a little impromptu Q&A Twitter session to answer some burning questions surrounding the tour.

Gaga revealed several things during the chat, including her favorite part about artRave (“seeing ARTPOP come to life and the message of it translate,” she wrote), what it feels like to walk the runway onstage and the proper attire when attending the ball, and in case you are wondering, she said “anything goes.”

The “Applause” singer encompasses many different persona throughout the show, including dressing up in an inflatable octopus costume. Yet, she isn’t the only one making a fashion statement, Little Monsters dress to the nines when attending Gaga’s shows, and it’s those unique and outlandish looks she searches for when inviting fans to meet her backstage during her tour.

Gaga said that on a scale from 1-10 she’s feeling a “50″ and having “the best time ever” being back on the road, “Everthings been so crazy since my hip surgery, it feels so good to just do what Im born to!” she wrote.

Gaga also reveals the inspiration behind naming her adorable new French bulldog companion, Asia, aka BATPIG.

Paranormal Investigator Debunks Demi Lovato Ghost Snap

by 05/08/14

Remember “Demi Lovato And The Case Of The Creepy Floating Ghost Head” (a.k.a. what is sure to be the next “Nancy Drew” smash)?

Well, we’ve got some more fuel to add to the ghostly fire in the form of expert analysis — courtesy of Timothy Davis, director of Center for Paranormal Investigation Association.

To back up for those not familiar with the tale: A photo has been making the round on Twitter featuring Demi Lovato sporting a lovely, shiny jacket — which a creepy-eyed ghost appears to be checking out covetously.

Lovato has had her share of ghostly encounters in the past — her house is haunted by a child-ghost (a.k.a. the scariest brand of ghost) named Emily — so the fact that one could be following her around didn’t seem that far-fetched. (Well, depending on how you feel about ghosts).

One expert we spoke to — although skeptical of the validity of the photo — even speculated that Lovato’s messing with the dead could have prompted them to follow her.

Still, when Davis took a look at the snap, he wasn’t wholly convinced. “My opinion is that it is very a compelling photo, but without a better quality photo or more evidence, it doesn’t appear to be supernatural to me,” he told MTV News, adding, “I am leaning toward thinking that the face could be caused by the ‘perfect’ combination of a few random factors.”

“Which random factors?” you may ask. Allow him to explicate:

Sensor Noise: “This photo looks like it was ...

‘The Flash’ TV Series Is Officially Speeding To The CW

by 05/08/14

The CW is hoping that lightning can strike twice with their young superhero franchises, announcing that they’ve ordered “The Flash” as a new live-action TV series set to air this fall, Entertainment Weekly reports.

The show, which will be part of a lineup that includes the recently renewed “Arrow” as well as “Beauty and the Beast” and the DC Comics adaptation “iZombie,” is a spin-off of “Arrow.” The fan-favorite Barry Allen character, played by Grant Gustin, first appeared in a few episodes of “Arrow.”

Gustin will reprise his role as the Fastest Man Alive for the new series, a scientist who gains super-speed after getting hit by a lightning in a fateful experiment (check out the origin scene from “Arrow” in the clip above).

It will be the character’s second television incarnation, as he first appeared in the 1990 TV series “The Flash” hot on the heels of the success of 1989′s “Batman.”

Gustin’s Flash will be of course a far younger incarnation of Barry Allen (Gustin is only 24), in keeping with other CW superhero shows like “Arrow” and “Smallville.”

Marvel might have some competition on its hands: with “Flash” and “Arrow” locked down as TV series, DC looks like it’s going to give their rival a run for their money when Marvel’s Netflix series debuts in 2015.

And with Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” movie being fast-tracked, who knows if DC will attempt to create a Marvel-like multi-platform universe of its own, using “Arrow” and “The Flash” as springboards to a ...

French Montana Is Basically A Kardashian Now: A Look At His Fabulous Life

It’s official — French Montana is the latest “It Boy” in the Hollywood scene. He might be the last rapper that anyone would’ve expected to transform into a socialite, but if the Louboutins fit you’ve gotta wear ‘em, right? The Morocco-born, Bronx-bred rapper got his start slinging street DVDs and pushing his popular Coke Boys mixtape series, but these days it looks like he’s trading up for a life in the Hollywood Hills.

‘Kanye Kardashian’ still can’t deal with paparazzi but French nailed it in like, a month

He’s been slimming down to look good for all of those photo ops

He said peace to the streets of NYC and hello to The Hills

Which is easy, since he and his realtor have built up a better rapport

Dogs are for suckers, so he copped two pet tigers for the crib

His toys probably cost more than your rent

And first thing in the morning, he takes selfies with his girlfriend’s reality star sister

But he does some of his best thinking at night, thanks to that view

And honestly, he just makes for really great arm candy

2 Chainz And Migos Are Trading Jabs Over Who Started The ‘Migos Flow’

by 05/08/14

Imitiation is nothing new in hip-hop. From rhymes to fashion to production, styles are often innovated by someone before catching on with a larger group. It’s become a natural cycle.

2 Chainz thinks that’s what happened with what’s been termed the “Migos flow,” where rhymes are delivered with a specific pace and cadence.

“Look at my car, how did it get on dem sixes/ This flow come from Drizzy, he got it from Migos, they got it from Three Six,” the Atlanta MC raps on “Trap Back,” off his recently released Freebase EP.

But that line shouldn’t be taken as a slight, according to Chainz; it’s merely an observation. “There’s a certain delivery that they brought to the game that people started snacking on, that was something that derived from a Memphis flow period,” he told MTV News when asked about the lyric.

That explanation apparently wasn’t enough for the guys from Migos, though, who took to Twitter on Wednesday to fire back, which led to a bit of a back-and-forth:

There haven’t been any words exchanged since earlier this morning, so hopefully this disagreement has been squashed.

Ansel Elgort Recreated ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ Poster With Nat Wolff

by 05/08/14

In December, when the first poster for “The Fault In Our Stars” was released, the internet exploded. Oh, the feels people felt! As it turns out, Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort have a great gift for staring, lovelorn, at one another from very short distances, basically becoming the human version of MFEO.

Here’s the thing: Elgort apparently holds the secret recipe for that look that is somehow both tender and heated. We know this because he recreated the poster with a different “Fault” co-star, Nat Wolff.

And, hey, we’d watch that movie too. We’d probably even cry.

The Fault In Our Stars” hits theaters June 6. Prepare your tissues accordingly.
