‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Toys May Tease ‘Planet Hulk’ Movie

The first LEGO set for Marvel Studio's "Guardians of the Galaxy" has been revealed, with two major secrets awaiting those with eagle eyes. Not only does the set show off the film's bad guy; but it also seems to add more fuel to the fire for a "Planet Hulk" movie at some point in Marvel's future.


The set was first revealed over at USA Today, and is described as:

"The Milano Spaceship Rescue" set, with 665 pieces priced at $74.99. In addition to the brick version of the Guardians' starship Milano from the movie, the pack includes mini-figs of three heroes — Star-Lord (played by Chris Pratt in the film),Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista) — as well as an alien Sakaaran Soldier and the villain Ronan the Accuser(Lee Pace).

The first bit of interest is a close up look at Lee Pace's Ronan the Accuser, the villain of the film. Though we don't expect Pace to be quite as blocky in the final product, his look hews pretty closely to the traditional look of Ronan in the comics. And for color scheme, he's right in line with the other Accuser/Pursuer characters in this month's new Marvel comic, "All-New Invaders;" something that's surely not a random coincidence.


The second bit isn't depicted, but the mention of "alien Sakaaran Soldier" certainly drew our interest. We previously reported on how the planet Sakaar, and the resident Sakaaran's play heavily in the "Planet Hulk"/"World War Hulk" story line. The characters were almost used in ...

Kendall Jenner Flashes Nipples At Fashion Week: Kardashians, Fans React

As MTV Style has been reporting, designers showing at New York Fashion Week have been bringing their A-game for their fall 2014 collections, but one show in particular made headlines, courtesy of a certain reality TV star.

On Thursday night, Kendall Jenner walked Marc Jacobs' always-anticipated show in NYC and gave fans an eyeful: But it wasn't the E! star's bleached eyebrows that had people buzzing — it was her exposed nipples.

The 18-year-old strutted down the runway in a very sheer V-neck top, and her look prompted immediate reaction on social media. Famous big sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney were clearly proud: each one posted shots from the show on their Instagram accounts.

"My baby sister killed it today walking in the Marc Jacobs fashion show!!! Kenny you are so dope to me!!! Congrats my baby!!! #NYFW #MarcJacobs #ProudSis," Khloe wrote.

But it wasn't then first time the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star has bared some skin in the name of fashion. Last November, Jenner posed in a see-through mesh top for a photo shoot and the reaction was divided. Judging by the response after the fashion show this week, it seems some critics stuill aren't comfortable with Jenner's grown-up looks.

Some critics were harsh ...
@alli_g31 "I don't want to see Kendall Jenner's nipples plastered all over Instagram. Gross."

@Sidney_Steele "Kendall Jenner's boobs look so nasty in her Marc Jacobs pics."

While Others Thought It Was No Big Deal
@lovelyy_fool "All I have to say about this whole Kendall Jenner thing is get over it people we ALL have nipples I mean damn stop ...

Check Out This Remix To Beyonce’s ‘Drunk In Love’

You may not recognize DJ Ted Smooth if you passed him on the street, but hip-hop clubgoers know his work. Over the past seven years, the Spanish Harlem native has taken your favorite R&B tracks from artists like Chris Brown, Jamie Foxx, Robin Thicke, Alicia Keys and Miguel and given them high-powered makeovers.

Smooth's latest is a special Valentine's Day remix of Beyoncé and Jay Z's "Drunk in Love," which he released online on Friday (February 14).

To differentiate his mix from Bey's original, Ted took the singer's live vocal track from her tantalizing 2014 Grammy performance, placed them over the eerie opening piano line from A$AP Ferg's "Work" and added his own drums. Then, of course, there is his patented tagline: "Ted Smooth, Straight Face, You Remember."

It all adds up to an energetic, trap version of the climbing hit.

Ted also re-sequenced Bey's vocals, opening his version with the "surfboard" lyric to draw listeners in. "The vocals that I used for the intro are actually at the end of the performance, so I just took that for the beginning," he explained. "Obviously when she sings 'surfboard,' a lot of ladies like to do her dance.

This isn't the first time Ted has reworked a Beyoncé hit. In 2011, he remixed "Love On Top," using the vocals from her VMA performance and blending it with pieces inspired from LL Cool J's 1995 hit "Doin' It" — with the approval of team Beyoncé of course.

Smooth started out making mixtape blends in 1992. His first concoction was a mixture of Janet Jackson's "Let's Wait a ...

Your Valentine’s Date Can’t Go Much Worse Than Mariah Carey’s

Everyone has their ideal Valentine's Day date, whether it be getting a box of chocolates, watching a rom-com or, like some people in the MTV Newsroom, going out for chicken and waffles.

But when you're a diva like Mariah Carey, you go ALL out. And when you go ALL out, accidents are bound to happen — especially when you fill your L.A. hotel room with candles.

Help Us Choose The Ultimate Love Song!

"We'd gotten each other like all these roses and balloons, and we had pictures of our first year together ... the whole room was just Valentine's galore," Mariah told us during "MTV First" on Wednesday about her first V-Day married to hubby Nick Cannon. "As we're looking at the pictures, there's candles everywhere — because I had requested candles — so one of the pictures sparked and lit the drapery."

Oh no! What is a diva to do? Call security?

Not Mimi.

"Me, I go into emergency mode," Mariah said, acting the whole scene out. "I take the roses out of the thing, take the vase, pour the water, douse the fire. Nick just looks like this [jaws drop], and he just goes, 'You're really good in an emergency situation.' I just go, 'That's how I've had to be.' "

Pro status. All the way.

Well, at least there's no danger in watching a rom-com on the couch!

King Of Harts: We Find A Role For Kevin Hart In Every 2014 Movie

"Man, Kevin Hart is in EVERY movie these days," remarked one of your more astute friends sometime over the last few months. You nodded, acknowledging both Mr. Hart's seeming ubiquity in modern cinema and your pal's underrated observational skills, but then, as you would from any other throwaway banter among acquaintances, you moved on.

But what if Hart actually was in (almost) every movie? Thus far in 2014, Hart has had a gig a month — "Ride Along" in January, and "About Last Night" in February. What if this is the year the world finally has a Hart? What if, at the very least, he shot a scene or two for every single Hollywood-produced film, even if that scene was eventually cut from the final product? It happens more than you probably think. The following is an exclusive, never-before-seen, completely fictional list of Kevin Hart roles from upcoming movies that were unfortunately — and some would argue blasphemously — left on the cutting room floor.

'NYMPHOMANIAC' (March)
Hart's role as an abstinence-touting religious zealot was cut from the film because director Lars Von Trier felt Hart's presence "sullied" the thrill of watching 120 consecutive minutes of your favorite celebrities pretending to ejaculate on camera. For his troubles, Hart was issued an apology and a copy of "Nymphomaniac: The Board Game" from Von Trier.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER' (April)
The decision to cut Hart's part — a relationship expert brought in to assuage the sexual tension between Captain America (Chris Evans) and the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) — wasn't an easy one, but directors Joe ...

Lindsay Lohan Reunites With ‘Mean Girls’ Cast On Instagram — Is Real Life Next?

"Mean Girls" may have hit the theaters 10 years ago, but it seems like just yesterday that Cady Heron was hanging out with the likes of Damian and Kevin G.

Wait, it actually was just yesterday — at least according to Lindsay Lohan's Instagram.

Thursday, Lohan shared a photo to Instagram in which the actress is mugging with actors Daniel Franzese (who played "too gay to function" Damian) and Rajiv Surendra (a.k.a. rapper and math genius Kevin G).

Franzese also posted the snap, as well as a photo of him and Lohan "braving the polar vortex," according to the caption.

The actual cast aren't the only ones geeking out on the 10-anniversary of the classic high school flick. MTV News has seen the likes of Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, Ed Sheeran, Amber Rose, Iggy Azalea and Waka Flocka Flame contributing to its legacy by acting out very special selections from the flick.

Still, all of this reminiscing has left me wanting more -- and I'm guessing you're still hungry, too. What do you think, is a real "Mean Girls" reunion in order?

Do You Think "Mean Girls" Should Make A Comeback?

J. Cole Gets Caught Cheating In New ‘She Knows’ Video

Almost eight months after dropping his sophomore album Born Sinner, J. Cole continues to roll out captivating music videos for the project, and the latest is for "She Knows."

The Roc Nation rapper premiered the clip on his Dreamvillainblog Friday (February 14), just in time for Valentine's Day. The song itself features vocals from the Dirty Projectors' Amber Coffman and finds Cole rapping about struggles with infidelity. It's a pretty straight forward issue, but Cole puts a little twist on that, delivering another great plot-driven visual like his .

The new video follows a teenager who steals money from his parents to spend during a day playing hooky from school — smoking, drinking beer and skating. A police officer interrupts the carefree fun and a brief chase on foot leads him back to his house.

In the middle of the day the teen is surprised to walk in on his mother and another man at home. That man, of course, happens to be J. Cole. No words are exchanged in the moment and needless to say, dinner was pretty awkward that night. On the track "Trouble" Cole spits the line, "Mama, did you f--- J. Cole?" Guess it all comes full circle.
