Get Jealous: Two One Direction Fans Went On A Date With Harry And Liam

Remember when you went on a double date with Harry Styles and Liam Payne? No? Oh, sorry, must have gotten you confused with this girl.

The One Direction guys teamed up with Trekstock — a charity that funds research for young people with cancer — to take two lucky fans on an intimate double date in the heart of London on Tuesday night.

The campaign kicked off last summer. Fans were asked to make donations on the company's website. After they hit their goal of $500K — and surpassed it with a hefty $784,245 — a winner was selected at random.

The lucky lady was merely identified as "Allison T." on the website, but no matter who she is, she and her plus one seemed to have an awfully great time. In addition to their night out with Liam and Harry, they were also treated to a three-night stay at London's 5-star Soho Hotel and handed $750 to splurge on the city's Carnaby Street.

King Los Leaves Bad Boy: Was Diddy’s ‘Nobody’ Rant The Reason?

Rick Ross and French Montana deliver an unforgettable performance on the Boss' new single but Bad Boy CEO Diddy absolutely stole the show.

The standout Mastermind track samples audio of Puff passionately tearing down and somehow trying to motivate an unknown member of his team. Ross told "RapFix Live" that the audio came from a very real conversation and while he told us that it wasn't French Montana on the receiving end of the rant, he left the door open.

"When I took [the rant] and chopped it up and put it on my record I gave him my word. I would never reveal who it was that he was scolding because it's someone you know," Ross told us on March 6.

So when former Bad Boy artist King Los stopped by the "RFL" couch on Wednesday (March 19), we asked him whether he was on the receiving end of Diddy's tongue-lashing.

"I love the mystique of this. I'ma let this play out a little bit, but boy, your intuitive skills, man," Los told Sway insinuating that he may have been the one Diddy was talking to.

On the track, the music mogul warns of unsavory individuals ready to bring members of his team down. "These n---as is roaches. These n---as is mere mother---in' mortals," Puffs barks on the track. "You wanna walk around with them or you wanna walk with God, n---a?"

"I had something to do with it," Los admitted, being very vague about the whole thing.

Earlier on Wednesday, Los announced on Shade 45's "Sway in the Morning" ...

This Is What Maggie Q’s ‘Divergent’ Dress Would Look Like With Underwear

The stars of the soon-to-be hit flick, strutted their stuff on the black carpet at the film's premiere on Tuesday with the stars rocking both daring and classic looks.

While most of the attention was thought to go to the film's star Shailene Woodley, who looked positively stunning in a gold sequin one-shoulder Elie Saab gown, or even Kate Winslet, who 14 weeks after giving birth, looked as glamorous as ever in a crimson dress, it was Maggie Q who may have stolen the show.

See More Photos From The 'Divergent' Premiere

Maggie Q, who plays the Dauntless aptitude test facilitator, Tori, in the flick, bared all at the big premiere by going commando on the red carpet. The "Nikita" star left her undergarments at home to rock a super-sexy Anthony Vaccarello cut-out dress. But honestly, if we had a body like that we would be doing the same thing.

Well, after seeing her oh-so-sexy ensemble, we thought, what would this dress have looked like if Maggie Q had decided to be a bit more modest and add some undies to the skin baring ensemble? Well, imagine no more.

‘Kill Bill 3’: Uma Thurman Is Waiting On Tarantino, Just Like Us

In the last few years, Quentin Tarantino has pretty much completely cooled on the idea of returning to his character The Bride for a "Kill Bill Vol. 3." Back when the two-parter was originally hitting theaters, the writer-director talked about possibly catching up with Beatrix Kiddo down the road once Vernita Green's daughter catches up with her.

That was the idea until about the time Tarantino started rewriting history with "Inglourious Basterds" and "Django Unchained." In an interview with MTV News, he said that he felt like he had accomplished his mission with two volumes. "I think I killed Bill," he said. "I don't know. I could change my mind about it, but I don't know. It's looking like not."

But Tarantino, while obviously a huge factor in the "Kill Bill Vol. 3" equation, is only half of the creative team behind The Bride.

Uma Thurman, the actress who played Kiddo, is the other part, but I spoke with her at press day for Lars Von Trier's newest movie, "Nymphomanic," — which she is amazing in, by the way — she stressed that it's Tarantino's decision to make.

"Ultimately, of course, it's a Quentin Tarantino call because he would have to decide to do it," she said. "He's so full of bean and ideas that he'll either have the lightning bolt of inspiration about it or he won't. So who knows? When the fat lady sings, we shall know."
So for now, the answer remains the same. Until Tarantino changes his mind about a third "Kill Bill," we're just going to have ...

‘Divergent’ Artist Reveals The Secret Behind Those ‘Blood Tattoos’

Things might be kind of dicey in the futuristic world of but in the movie, at least, one aspect is a hell of a lot easier: the tattooing process.

Yup, when Tris and Co. get inked in the Dauntless compound, it's quick and nearly painless.

Brad Wilder, head of the "Divergent" makeup department, gave MTV News the scoop on how tattooing works in Veronica Roth's dystopian world.

"They refer to them in the movie as blood tattoos," Wilder said. "There's a scene in there where [Tris] has a raven [tattooed] on it's a patch that's kind of applied over her collarbone and it looks like a kind of a hologram with a brightly colored light tube that runs to this device. Tori pushes that onto her collarbone and then within a few seconds pulls it off and there's the tattoo."

"Supposedly it somehow sucks the blood to the surface," he added. "I don't know. [Director] Neil [Burger] and everyone referred to it as a blood tattoo."

For anyone who has ever sat in a tattoo artist's chair, feeling the thousand-hornet-sting of the buzzing needle searing into your flesh for hours at a time, the above certainly sounds like a dream. (Who's Dauntless now?)

Wilder and his team's real-life application process was a little slower, however, but likely less painful.

Original designs — which were inspired by a '20s art movement called Russian Constructivism and tattoo artist Nigel Palmer — were applied to paper and mixed with glue. Once dry, they were cut out and applied to skin cleaned with alcohol, soaked in ...

One Direction’s Questionable Spandex Outfits Explained

When Record Store Day launched back in 2007, the only ones buzzing around the stacks of coveted vinyl were "old guys, collectors," according to founder Michael Kurtz. Now, it seems, Directioners could be usurping the white-haired set.

As vinyl sales continue to climb year over year, Kurtz said the age of Record Store Day's denizens has started to fall — a state of affairs heralded by the release of One Direction's special edition picture disc single, "Midnight Memories."

The vinyl of "Midnight Memories," which features the boys all gussied-up like hair metal rockers, was inspired (at least indirectly) by a pretty iconic source.

According to Kurtz, he was at a meeting of global Record Store Day reps when "the guy who runs KISS spoke up and said, 'This is great and we're all excited and this is good, but what are we doing to connect with teens?'"

"We said, 'Well, One Direction is on Sony, can we reach out to management and see if they would be interested in working with us on Record Store Day?'" Kurtz said.

Originally, RSD pitched the band the idea of having a picture disc for each member of the band, each featuring a different single — a kind of collectible deal.

"All of us come from that background," Kurtz said. "I'm in my 50s so I grew up with the '60s version of One Direction, The Monkees, and I bought everything. I collected everything."

The band responded with gusto, and settled on the idea of having a single record featuring the hair metal ensemble snap.

"I think it's ...
