Adam Sandler And Drew Barrymore Witness The Circle Of Life In Exclusive ‘Blended’ Clip

In the never-before-seen exclusive clip from "MTV Movie Awards Takeover, the characters played by Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore learn the hard way that nature isn't always as cute as rom-coms. Sometimes the families eat each other.

The regularly paired romantic leads sat down with MTV News to talk about their third movie together, "Blended," which sends two separate families on the same African safari.


The title refers bringing together the two families into one unit, an idea their safari guide tries to apply to two lions and a baby bush pig. Let's just say that it doesn't work out as neatly as he might have hoped.

Sandler and Barrymore have been charming audiences together since 1998 when they starred in "The Wedding Singer." They reunited ten years ago for another rom-com collaboration, "50 First Dates."

The new clip premiered as a part of MTV Movie Awards Takeover, a weeklong series of interviews and clips dedicated to the upcoming summer movie season.

When we spoke with Sandler and Barrymore for Movie Awards Takeover, they shared their tips for the Best Kiss nominees, having won the award for "50 First Dates."

"It does so much for the kiss," Sandler said, suggesting that rainfall always makes a makeout better. "It tightens up the body. You feel chilly. You're cold. You're tight. Your nipples are way out there."

"Yeah," Barrymore said, "mine too!"

Watch The Trailer For Nas’ ‘Time Is Illmatic’ Doc

The celebration for the 20th anniversary of Nas' Illmatic is kicking into full gear, and the visual component is almost here. On Friday (April 11), the trailer for "Time Is Illmatic," the upcoming documentary about the classic album, was released online.

"When I made Illmatic, I was trying to make the perfect album," Nas says in the trailer for the film, which is set to debut on April 16 at the Tribeca Film Festival. "I was trying to make you experience my life. I wanted you to look at hip-hop differently. I wanted you to feel that hip-hop was changing and becoming something more real."

The documentary is just one component of a full rollout to commemorate the landmark disc. On Tuesday, Illmatic XX is set to drop. In addition to remastered versions of the album's 10 tracks, the release will offer remixes, demos and other decades-old, rarely heard gems.

Last week, the Queens rapper brought his promo to where he and Q-Tip performed "One Love." The song, which was the seventh track on Illmatic,, was produced by Tip.

As the trailer for "Time Is Illmatic" — which borrows its title from a line on the album's third song, "Life's a Bitch" — comes to a close, Nas drops more wisdom.

"I gave you what the streets felt like," he says. "What it sounded like, tasted like, smelled like, all in that album. And I tried to capture it like no one else could."

Now, the film will attempt to do some capturing of its own — of the album's impact.

Justin Bieber And Lil Wayne Hit The Studio: See What They’re Cooking Up

It's been a Young Money kind of week for Justin Bieber.

On Friday (April 11), the Biebs posted two pictures on Instagram of him and Lil Wayne together in the studio. "Me and Tunechi in the studio," he wrote along with the first picture, before adding the equally nondescript "me and wayne" caption to his next photo.

Birdman also shared a visual from the evening. "Latenite studio flow @justinbieber music amazin @birdman5star RG YMCMB," he wrote on Instagram,with a picture that looked to be from the same session as one posted last week, where Birdman also praised the young star: "Day 3 in studio late nite workin with nephew @justinbieber tht @austinmahone song is a HIT just heard tha mix RG YMCMB @birdman5star."

Not long after his photos went up on Instagram today, Bieber tweeted, "No one knows what Im planning ;)." Did that relate to his session with Weezy? Maybe, but maybe not — no one knows, of course.

What we do know is that, while he's not officially signed to YMCMB, Bieber has been treated like family by the crew's big dogs of late. On Monday night, he posted a picture of a Bugatti on Instagram, writing, "Uncle Stunna luv. My first Bugatti." Later in the week, reports surfaced that it was a loan, not a gift — but it's surely a telling gesture, no less.

If the end result of the Biebs and Tunechi pics is a collaboration, it wouldn't be their first. The two worked together on "Backpack," from the singer's last release, Journals.

Conan O’Brien Tweets His 7 Most Terrifying Selfies: See ‘Em Here

Conan O'Brien is known to get a little wacky, but when he took over the MTV Twitter account on Friday (April 11), things got out of hand — including the insane selfies the 2014 Movie Awards host was taking.

Of course, with a Conan Twitter takeover, I didn't expect anything normal, but they again, I didn't expect that he'd reveal the secret behind his luscious ginger locks. (Spoiler: his hair is carved from the "finest African mahogany.") Here's that mahogany mane at its finest... including some witty Q&A answers.

When @ale27marie asked if he owned any weird things, Conan nonchalantly mugged with this porcelain deer. No big deal — it's just something he has lying around.

With a strange celebrity comes equally as strange fans. So while Conan doled out some pretty weird answers, he was definitely getting random questions to begin with. His next delicious selfie came after @Kev_Pilar asked, "what's ur favorite oranges or carrots?"

Oh, yeah, those firm granny smiths. I know what you mean.

This next one Conan did all by himself. And it's sort of terrifying.

Look at him. He's soooo ready for the Movie Awards on Sunday. So ready, in fact, that's he's staring into my soul, begging me to come to the show. Can I have one of those tickets you're holding?

Speaking of terrifying, @che1seawe1sh asked him to growl like a wolf. And, well, that's what she got. The award for Scariest Canine Impression goes to...

"Be honest, what have u swiped from your dressing room (so far)?" @MrsSuzieQ asked, and next thing you know Conan's ...
