Rick Ross Escapes Death, Diddy Warns Of Disloyal ‘Roaches’ In Chilling ‘Nobody’ Video: Watch

What do you do if an attempt is made on your life, just hours after celebrating your birthday in Miami? If you're Rick Ross, you take time to recover, of course, and then you put your passion into a new single and companion music video.

Rozay's video hit MTV Jams and the Internet this week, and the Christopher Sims-directed clip kicks off with a cinematic retelling of the January 2013 drive-by shooting that targeted the Miami rapper.

The latest single off of Ross' upcoming March 4 album, Mastermind, "Nobody" borrows from the Notorious B.I.G.'s 1997 track "You're Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You)" and features Biggie's mentor, Diddy, as well as French Montana on the hook. The cinematic clip follows a murderous double-cross with the Maybach Music CEO narrating the story.

Puff sets things off in the clip with the song's opening monologue. As detectives watch him on a surveillance monitor, the Bad Boy CEO chastises a couple of his associates. "You wanted to f--kin' walk around these roaches. These n---as is roaches, these n---as is mere motherf--kin' mortals," he sneers. "I'm trying to push you to supreme being."

French delivers his soulful croon of a hook from an interrogation room as a police officer tapes his statement. Meanwhile, Ross — dressed in a black sports jacket and white collared shirt — in true boss fashion, lights a cigar as he begins his testimony. "Blast for me, the last words from my n---a/ On the pavement, born killers, body shivers," he spits in a flow that pays homage to the late Biggie ...

Liam Neeson’s ‘Non-Stop’ Gunning For ‘LEGO’ This Weekend

Scrolling through Netflix or iTunes, there isn't a genre called "Liam Neeson with a gun," but there probably should be.

After playing real-life hero Oskar Schindler, Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn and Batman villain Ra's al Ghul, Neeson delivered a welcome surprise with "Taken" back in 2009. Marketed around the idea of Neeson as action hero badass, the revenge drama made over $226 million worldwide. Since then, Neeson fist-fought a wolf as a badass plane crash survivor in "The Grey" and grabbed the guns again for "Unknown" and "Taken 2."

"The LEGO Movie."

Conservative estimates put the opening weekend for "Non-Stop" around $22 million, though some industry experts put the number closer to $30 million. "Non-Stop" made an impressive $720,000 from screenings that began at 8 p.m. on Thursday night.

"Son of God," the weekend's other major new release, started two hours later and made a very strong $1.2 million. While at least one website dubbed the weekend "Neeson vs. Jesus," the context could just as easily be between "Son of God" and "The LEGO Movie" for the runner-up position.

Fandango reported that 94 percent of the folks who purchased tickets through them said they want to see more Bible-based movies (76 percent of them said they plan to see Russell Crowe as "Noah") while Deadline noted that only 30 percent of "Son of God" ticket buyers had seen box office smash "Frozen," implying that the majority of the film's audience aren't the typical moviegoers, making accurate predictions difficult. To wit: ComingSoon.net put "Son of God" at #3 for the weekend with ...

‘The Flash’: Here’s Your First Look At The New Show’s Costume

Warner Bros. is busy getting ready to film the pilot for "The Flash," starring actor Grant Gustin as the titular DC Comics superhero... But other than casting news here or there, it looked like the production was only up to doing a table read of the script this week.

That is, until now:


According to an official release:

The costume for The Flash was designed by three-time Oscar winner Colleen Atwood, who also designed the costume for "Arrow" and whose motion picture credits include Academy Awards for her work on "Alice in Wonderland," "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Chicago," as well as seven additional Oscar nominations for films such as "Snow White and the Huntsman," "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" and "Sleepy Hollow," among others

Gustin was introduced as Barry Allen, who will later become The Flash, during a two-episode arc on "Arrow" in 2013. Allen was an assistant CSI at the fictional Central City police department investigating the murder of his mother years prior... A murder thought to be committed by his own father.

The pilot, which would ostensibly kick off a series starting this fall also features Jesse L. Martin as Detective West, a father figure to Barry; Rick Cosnett as Eddie Thawne, the man who will eventually become The Flash's arch-enemy; Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow, a scientist who helps Barry learn to use his powers; Tom Cavanagh as Harrison Wells, the man who owns the lab that accidentally causes Barry to get powers; Candice Patton as Iris West, Barry's adoptive sister and (ew) ...

6 Reasons Mila Kunis And Ashton Kutcher Are Soulmates

For fans of "That '70s Show"'s most tumultuous couple, Jackie and Kelso, the reported engagement of Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis has been a long time coming.

Not only did they light up the small screen with their polyester-clad antics more than 10 years ago, they've also proved to be a pretty solid couple in recent years during their two-year courtship.

MTV News breaks down why these two were pretty much made for each other below:

Ashton Can Admit Mila Is Smarter Than Him

In an interview with Elle, Kutcher recounted attending the sixtieth birthday party for Bran Ferren, the cofounder of laboratory Applied Minds, telling the interviewer, "Basically, every single person at the table — including my girlfriend — was smarter than me."

The sooner a dude comes to that realization, the better.

They're Both Tech Nerds

On that note, Kunis is a self-described "computer nerd," while Kutcher is big into the tech scene — and let's not forget that time he played Steve Jobs.


The couple that geeks out together...

They Attended A Wedding Together

The pair attended Kunis' brother Michael's wedding, according to E! Online, and no one had a massive meltdown. Success!

They Take Themselves Out To The Ballgame

The pair was "chill" and "normal" while taking in an L.A. Dodgers game in 2012, an observer told People. I hope they had some peanuts and Cracker Jack to wash down all that love.


They've Both Kissed Natalie Portman
Kutcher puckered up with Portman in "No Strings Attached," Kunis kissed her in "Black Swan." I'm not ...

‘Son of God’: The Reviews Are In

"Son Of God" has some big sandals to fill.

Not only is it the latest epic to tackle the life and crucifixion of Jesus Christ — one that's sure to be compared to all that came before — it's also a big-screen adaptation of the hit TV series "The Bible." The movie actually reworks some episodes from that History Channel series and combines them with new footage to deepen the story. And the creators are hoping to score the same biblical magic at the movies that they have on the small screen.

Diogo Morgado, who also starred in the TV series, reprises his role as Jesus, following in the footsteps of iconic performances like Jim Caviezel's in "The Passion of the Christ," Willem Dafoe in "The Last Temptation of Christ" and Jeffrey Hunter in "King of Kings." Regardless of his performance, though, Morgado will likely go down as the best-looking Jesus of the bunch.

While Jesus' story is the centerpiece of "Son of God" — chronicling him going to John (Sebastian Knapp) and other apostles to spread the Gospel before being betrayed and crucified — it also touches on other biblical figures, like Moses, Abraham, Noah, Samson and Delilah, and David and Goliath. (The filmmakers tried to squeeze every drop out of their 138-minute runtime.)

So is "Son Of God" destined to be a new biblical classic, or is its depiction of Jesus in vain? Here's what critics are saying about the film, in theaters Friday (February 28).

A Message Of Love
"To its credit, this is one of the few movies to emphasize ...

The "Glee" star's Louder chronicles the past two years of her life, telling E! News on Thursday that it will tell stories of the "the incredible, beautiful, happy moments of my life, as well as the worst."

Michele admits that she wanted to make an album that was "honest" and "true" to who she is, and fans can clearly see that on her favorite song, "You're Mine."

"It's really about making that commitment in a relationship," she told E!. "At the beginning being scared to take the leap, but once you take it, committing yourself to another person, this is it for life ... You know I'm so grateful to say that I experienced true love and I think that a lot of people unfortunately don't. They'll go a whole lifetime without experiencing it, and I did and I consider myself so lucky that I got to."

The "Battlefield" singer is also opening up in the April issue of Glamour UK, where she admits she feels "little bit more back together" and revealed what she and Monteith were planning for their future.

"We talked about a lot ...
