David Fincher, the man who brought us "The Social Network" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," clearly knows a thing or two about how to make a riveting movie come together — and he's just as adept when it comes to crafting memorable trailers.

The master makes no exception with the first trailer for his new movie, Based on the novel of the same name written by Gillian Flynn, "Gone Girl" centers on a man named Nick, played by Ben Affleck, who is forced to deal with the sudden and potentially violent disappearance of his wife, Amy, played by Rosamund Pike.

Nick's grief over losing his wife soon gives way to some bizarre behavior, leading media and authorities to consider him a primary suspect in Amy's disappearance.

If it sounds like a bit of an emotional roller-coaster, that's because it is. That sensation of going from high to low is all over the "Gone Girl" trailer, with footage of Affleck's Nick discovering clues to his wife's whereabouts, shattered glass on his house floor, shaking his wife violently in a fit of rage, moved to tears at the thought of her disappearance — every emotion on the spectrum, from grief to rage, is covered here.

Speaking of covers, the trailer gets an assist from a cover of Charles Aznavour's "She," as performed by Richard Butler from Psychedelic Furs. It's the perfect tone-setter for the haunting trailer.

"Gone Girl" hits theaters on October 3.

Flavor Flav pleaded guilty on Monday (April 14) to a misdemeanor attempted battery charge.

The case stemmed from a 2012 incident in his Las Vegas home in which the Public Enemy rapper allegedly made threats against Elizabeth Trujillo and her 17-year-old son. Flav and the teen got into a scuffle, during which the hip-hop vet reportedly grabbed a knife.

The three have since reconciled, and Flav called the younger Trujillo his son in court today, according to the Associated Press. "I love my son and my son loves me, too," he told the judge.

Though the charges, which included felony assault and child endangerment with a weapon, could have gotten the 55-year-old, born William Drayton, Jr., up to 12 years in prison, he was only sentenced to a year of informal probation and ordered to complete 12 counseling sessions by August.

Flav hasn't skated all of his legal woes, though. In January, he was arrested in New York for driving with a suspended license — though according to the AP, he's paying fines to resolve the case.

He is due back in court in August to ensure that he attended the counseling as sentenced.

Kid Cudi turned more than a few heads this weekend when he rocked a red crop top with a pair of cutoff jeans during his Coachella performance. It certainly got Twitter buzzing, and now it's got me wondering: Is this the next big hip-hop trend?

Cudder was more than comfortable showing off his abs in the cropped shirt, and while the response wasn't exactly positive, sometimes it just takes a while for new trends to catch on. Take a look at a few hip-hop fashion choices that pushed boundaries recently.

Kanye's Leather Skirt

Well, technically it's a kilt. During his Watch the Throne tour with Jay Z in 2012, Kanye West was photographed on stage wearing a leather Givenchy kilt, immediately inspiring endless parodies, including the Twitter account @KanyesShirt. It wasn't long until other artists like A$AP Rocky and Theophilus London were seen sporting similar outfits, but unfortunately the trend never really caught on. Kanye still stuck behind it though.

The infamous kilt even came up during his interview with The New York Times last year. "The idea of Kanye and vanity are like, synonymous. But I've put myself in a lot of places where a vain person wouldn't put themselves in. Like what's vanity about wearing a kilt?" Exactly.

Lil Wayne's Jeggings

Remember that time Weezy wore jeggings to the VMAS in 2011? Yeah, it was hard to forget, especially since some sites sent out search teams to verify that they were legitimately a pair of women's pants. There was plenty of smack ...

Jhené Aiko has plenty of reasons to smile: Not only has her Sail Out EP been getting a lot of love from fans, she absolutely rocked Coachella on Sunday night. So what is it that has the emerging singer so upset in her new music video? A cheating lover, of course.

The music video for Jhené's "Comfort Inn Ending," which hit the Internet on Monday (April 14), features no performance shots from Aiko, just uncontrolled rage and an Air Jordan bonfire.

The clip starts with Jhené flinging clothes out of her man's closet as she sings the song's opening and most poignant line, "Thought I told you not to trust these hoes," as she tosses shirts, jewelry and a pair of black and red Air Jordan XIs — one of the most sought after sneakers ever.

Everyone deals with heartbreak differently; Aiko (at least in this particular video) goes on a rampage, taking a key to her ex's Porsche while his new love sits inside.

"Really, we had the perfect end, that night that we shared at the Comfort Inn," she sings after she comes to the conclusion: "I was not the only one to you."

With a stream of tears running down her cheek, the cutesy California siren pours a trail of gasoline and lights a match that ignites and sends her former lover's belongings up in flames. "I was weak then and you knew it," she sings.

The end of the vid replays happy memories as Jhené and Mr. Wrong frolic in a grassy field, before she is snapped back into her ...
