9 Things You Probably Won’t See During Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz Tour Special

by 29 mins ago

Smilers, you’re about to get a front-row seat to Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz Tour, and you don’t even have to leave your house.

Tonight (July 6) at 9 p.m. ET, NBC is airing a two-hour, behind-the-scenes concert special, “Miley Cyrus: Bangerz Tour,” which the “Wrecking Ball” singer has been hard at work editing. The show will follow the pop star backstage and onstage as she performed her Bangerz hits in front of an adoring crowd in Barcelona, Spain, last month.

Miley’s tour has been one of the most talked-about events of the year, full of crazy costumes, mind-boggling props and lots of WTF moments. And as anyone with access to a computer knows, the tour hasn’t exactly been PG (she did warn you with a Parental Advisory notice) — from riding a gigantic banana to rants about smoking weed, so it’ll be interesting to see what gets left on the cutting room floor.

Before you tune in, we decided to revisit the last few months of the Banergz Tour, making some bold predictions about what you probably won’t see during the Miley special … even though we’re actually keeping our fingers crossed that all of these moments make the final cut.

Exclusive: Fifth Harmony Are On Their Michelle Obama Ish In Their Brand-New Single, ‘Bo$$’

by 11 mins ago

Fifth Harmony are back, they’re sexier than ever, and they’re making it perfectly clear who’s “Bo$$.”

Camila Cabello, Normani Hamilton, Dinah-Jane Hansen, Ally Brooke, and Lauren Jauregui’s highly anticipated single, “Bo$$” — the first off their upcoming debut album — is an upbeat girl-power anthem that features the fivesome demanding your respect, showing off their confidence, and unabashedly getting exactly what they want. Or, in other words, to quote the single, they’re on some ‘Michelle Obama sh–.”

But the First Lady — who gets ultimate ‘BO$$’ lady respect on their track with the line “purse so heavy getting Oprah dollars” — isn’t the only name Fifth Harmony drops in the song. The track opens with trumpets blaring over catchy hand claps as heavy bass sets in before the girls cleverly drop lines like “You’re talking to a lady, I want a Kanye and not a Ray J.”

With a message reminiscent of Destiny’s Child’s “Bills Bills Bills” and “Independent Women,” the “X Factor” alums proudly sing about the fact they don’t need a man as they “pledge allegiance to my independent girls in here.”

“I see you tryin’ to holla/ But that ain’t how I was brought up, next/ working for the money cause that’s what my momma taught me so your ass better show me some respect,” they sing.

“The whole point of this song is for girls who are our age to ...

Lucy Hale Had An ‘Awkard’ And ‘Very Uncomfortable’ Audition For ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’

by 6 mins ago

After seeing photos of Dakota Johnson on set as Anastasia Steele in “Fifty Shades of Grey,” it’s hard to imagine someone else paying the role. But if you rewind to several months ago, there rumors upon rumors of who would be cast in the coveted role.

Everyone from Kristen Stewart to Lily Collins to Nina Dobrev was rumored to be eyeing the racy role of a sweet college girl who falls for a billionaire tycoon with a penchant for the S&M lifestyle.

And one of those actresses did come pretty close to landing the role: “Pretty Little Liars” star Lucy Hale, who recently spoke to MTV News about the “awkward” audition process.

“It actually was just me [in the audition]. It was a two-page monologue of exactly what you would think it would be,” Hale said. “Very uncomfortable, but it was sort of one of those things where you just had to go for it or you’re just gonna look lame — hopefully, I didn’t look lame.”

Describing it as “unlike any audition I have ever done before in my life,” Hale went on to explain that she didn’t do a particular scene from the E L James novel, but it was pretty steamy dialogue and something “I don’t want my grandmother watching.”

While Hale is now concentrating on “PLL” and her budding music career (she just released a country album, Road Between, last month), she does admit that she was interested in the role of ...

This Jessie J + Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj Collabo Is Gonna Be Dynamite

by 35 mins ago

Brace yourself, because three powerhouse females are teaming up, and the results are going to be explosive.

On Tuesday (July 1) Jessie J revealed that her brand-new single will feature not one, but two of the biggest names in music: Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj.

The “Dominos” singer took to Twitter to announce to her Heartbeats fan army that her new single, “Bang Bang” — produced by Max Martin — will drop July 29.

Along with the track news, which will be featured on Jessie’s upcoming third album as well as the deluxe addition of Ariana’s album My Everything, the British singer also posted the artwork for “Bang Bang,” featuring mod head shots of the girls.

This trio seems to follow in what appears to be the year of female collaborations. Ariana recently did it with Iggy Azaela for her hit single, “Problem,” while Iggy enlisted Charli XCX for her smash, “Fancy.” Shakira and Rihanna heated things up with “Can’t Remember to Forget You,” while Demi Lovato waved her pride flag alongside Cher Lloyd in their powerful anthem, “Really Don’t Care.”

Ariana Grande Teams Up With Childish Gambino, The Weeknd And…Harry Styles On My Everything

by 44 mins ago

Ariana Grande is about to give you her everything, and she brought some friends along for the ride.

After teasing us with snippets of her song/brand-new music video for “Break Free,” the singer unveiled the track list for her highly anticipated second album, My Everything, due out August 25, and it turns out 7 of the 12 tracks are collaborations!

We already knew that Ariana teamed up with Iggy Azalea on the hit single “Problem,” Zedd on “Break Free” and longtime friend Big Sean on “Best Mistake,” a song she told Ryan Seacrest was her favorite track. But there are definitely some surprises as well.

The pop star is singing alongside some of the most buzzed-about artists of the moment, including Childish Gambino on the track “Break Your Heart Right Back,” A$AP Ferg on “Hands On Me,” DJ Cashemere Cat on “Be My Baby” and The Weeknd on “Love Me Harder.”

But the biggest shocker of them all had to be who Ariana worked with behind-the-scenes. The track “A Little Bit of Your Heart” was written by none other than One Direction’s Harry Styles, who penned it specifically for the powerhouse diva. Also contributing some songwriting creds were Ryan Tedder and Benny Blanco who wrote the song “We Try.”

Ariana will be on hand to talk all about her album and debut her new single “Break Free” during “Total Ariana Live” on MTV Wednesday, July 2 at 7 p.m.

Ed Sheeran Trashed His Hotel Room, Then Cleaned It Up

by 12 mins ago

For the most part, Ed Sheeran has done a pretty good job of staying out of the tabloids and keeping the focus on his music.

It’s probably because when he does make a mess of things, he cleans it up.

In an interview with Parade magazine, Ed opens up about some of his rock star moments, from sampling a form of ecstasy, passing out drunk at Jennifer Aniston’s house and trashing a hotel room after a “wicked night” out.

“I felt so bad and said, ‘Oh, someone’s going to have to clean this up,’ ” he recalls of the night where he and his friends piled everything that wasn’t bolted down in the room into the bathtub. “So I literally de-trashed my room and put it back to normal. If I trash a hotel room, will anyone like me more? You’re not going to have kids going, ‘Oh, that’s really cool and edgy.’ You’re probably going to get a ticked-off maid and that’s about it.”

It’s that nice-guy personality, along with his incredible talent, that’s putting Ed at the top of the charts and on radio stations around the world.

“It’s the time of being polite,” he said. “Radio stations aren’t going to play you if you show up late. You have to be respectful and do your job. You can guarantee that Taylor [Swift] will always be professional and polite, and ...

The Surprise Behind Demi Lovato’s Heartwarming Tribute To Her Gay Grandfather

by 40 mins ago

Demi Lovato is certainly a trailblazer in her own right, and now we know where she gets it from: her grandfather.

During Logo TV’s inaugural “Trailblazers,” which aired on Thursday, Demi revealed to the audience that her grandfather was gay.

But going into the night, the pop star didn’t plan on telling her grandfather’s story. After being inspired and moved by fellow attendees, especially Edie Windsor, who, along with attorney Roberta Kaplan, worked tirelessly to have DOMA repealed, Demi wanted to let everyone know that her grandfather was a proud member of the LGBT community.

“What happened was she came backstage after a couple speeches…it was shortly after Edie Windsor’s speech, and she came back and we were reading through it [her script] and she said I would really love to say something about my grandfather and she told me the story,” “Trailblazers” Consultant Matt Flanders told MTV News. “She always felt she got her energy and spirit from him and his trailblazing spirit and so we just really quickly wrote the paragraph together and put it in the monitor a few minutes later.”

Following her appearance, Demi stopped by MTV News to further talk about what an impact her grandfather made on her and how thrilled she was to pay tribute to such a courageous man.

“My mom’s birth dad, actually had my mom and was with my grandma and then he split with her because he came out of the closet and that was in the ’60s. So ...
