‘Glee’ Teaser Pics: Twerking, Tattoos And Adam Lambert’s Alter Ego

"Glee" comes back on November 7, and from the looks of it, things are about to get pretty wild. After a short hiatus for the Fox show, fans will be introduced to Adam Lambert's Elliot "Starchild" and, a week later, the Gleeks are going to get their twerk on.

In new stills released from the November 7 and 14 episodes, titled and "The End of Twerking," respectively, the cast is having some fun again after paying tribute to Cory Monteith's Finn Hudson in a heartbreaking show earlier this month.

The "Katy or a Gaga" episode will feature Lambert singing alongside Santana (Naya Rivera). Elliot "Starchild" is auditioning for a part in a band that includes the other New York-based characters, Kurt (Chris Colfer), Dani (Demi Lovato) and Rachel (Lea Michele). Little else is known about him, but with a name like "Starchild," we can only imagine that crazy things will happen.

A small part of Lambert's cover of Lady Gaga's was previously teased in a promo for the episode and on Wednesday (October 29), Lambert gifted fans with the full track. His version of the club banger doesn't stray much from Gaga's equally theatrical version.

"The End of Twerking" focuses on the characters back in Lima, Ohio, where the New Directions will put their spin on the dance Miley made famous at this year's MTV VMAs. And in several promo images, breakdancing looks to be the name of the game.

Fans will have to wait and see what prompts the twerk-a-thon, when they'll also find out if Kurt, pictured ...

Will Future Drop Out Of Space After ‘Real And True’ Video?

Future declared himself the Astronaut Kid on his 2011 mixtape and continued his galactic journey on Pluto in 2012, but in his upcoming video for the Miley Cyrus- and Mr Hudson-featuring "Real and True," he literally heads to space. After that, the Atlanta-based rapper and producer said that he'll be done with the space theme, once and for all.

"We went into space and it's about somebody sacrificing their life for love," Future told MTV News of the visuals. "This video is probably one of the most special videos to me, directed by Rankin and featuring Miley Cyrus and Mr Hudson.

"It connected with me and my whole theme that I've been going with, as far as Pluto and my astronaut status, so I feel like I can close that chapter after this video and move on to something else."

Future explained that Mike Will Made It sent him the beat for the song, emphasizing that it would be a perfect fit for his upcoming album, especially since it related to his relationship with fiancée Ciara.

"Personally, I can identify with it, because it's just me being Honest," Future said. "The song is just telling people that sometimes when you get into relationships you have certain mistakes that you've made and your partner might have certain situations that they might've been in, [but it's] just putting all of your differences aside for a better cause."

"At the end of every storm is something great waiting," he added. "So Mike Will sent the beat to Mr Hudson, he did the hook and Miley ...

Eminem And Kendrick Lamar Play Dirty On ‘Love Game’: Hear It Now

So how do Eminem and Kendrick Lamar mend a broken heart? With complex and sexually explicit lyrics.

With Em's The Marshall Mathers LP 2 just days away from its November 5 release date, the two Dr. Dre protégés found their first collaboration "Love Game" leaked onto the Internet on Wednesday (October 30).

The track, which samples Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders' 1965 record "Game of Love," starts off with Eminem coming home to find his significant other cheating on him. "Something is burning I can't figure out what/ It's either lust or a cloud of dust," he rhymes before confirming his creeping suspicion. "Left my girl in the house alone/ Is that my soon-to-be-spouse? And the further I walk, the louder," he continues rapping while building sex noises play under the track, giving it a cinematic feel.

Eminem continues his verse in true Slim Shady fashion. Not only does he tear his unfaithful lover down, he also manages to pay homage to several rappers like Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest, Jay Z, Kanye West, Raekwon and Kwame. "Used to be my fiancé, until you sucked on Wayne, Andre and Kanye/ LeBron, Akon, Jay, Lil' Jon, Raekwon, Ma$e, Polow Da Don, Drake, Dante Ross, James Conway, Kwame," he spits rattling off a list of male suitors.

Kendrick follows suit and weaves a nutty narrative based on the same Sherane character that ignited the conflict on good kid, m.A.A.d city. "You know I want you bad as a Benjamin, I'm delirious/ I want you bad as the head shattered ...

‘Girl Code’ Season Two: Lifting Up ‘The Hood’ On Vaginas

They've already given us an edifying guide to male genitalia — an enlightening cheat sheet to such species as the gangsta, the torpedo, the hook and the banana — but when the foul-mouthed cast of MTV's return for season two, it's all about them.

"It's better than season one because we talk about vaginas," the oft-crude Nicole Byer told MTV News of the new season, kicking off Wednesday (October 30) at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

After all, as co-star Alex Wetterlund so kindly reminds us in a sneak peek of tonight's episode, "It's really important to be familiar with your vagina — open up that hood, see how she purrs."

But for those out there who aren't as familiar with the grilled cheese sandwich, fear not: Byer and company have plenty more to talk about, including dating, lesbians, karaoke, being alone and getting engaged. (A little taste of the snark to come: "If you got a tiny, stupid ring you might be a tiny, stupid woman inside.")

"If you like laughing, you'll laugh," Byer added. "We talk about topics you might have questions about so you'll get some answers."

We'll have our notepad ready.

Let’s Celebrate Best Friend Day With Eminem, Miley And Lady Gaga’s BFFs!

Whoever said you shouldn't mix business and pleasure was obviously full of it, because there are a ton of musical collaborators out there who also seem like pretty good pals. Skipping in the sunshine, sharing milkshakes, twerking all up on each other — you know, best friend stuff.

In honor of #NationalBestFriendDay — which has been trending on Twitter over the past few days, oddly enough — MTV News has compiled what we think were the five best pal pairings from this past year.

Miley Cyrus & Mike Will Made It
Not only did Mike Will Made It executive produce Cyrus's much-hyped BANGERZ record, but Miley was also featured on Mike Will's track "23," off his upcoming album, Est. in 1989 Pt. 3 — and quite prominently in the video.

The duo seems to have become fast friends over the year, with Mike Will soothing Cyrus's nerves over the success of "We Can't Stop" — over the phone, as besties do. And rumors spread that the two are involved, which weren't helped by the two's racy Terry Richardson photoshoot. Still, a rep for Mike Will has abolished those whisperings, saying: "It is all about the music."

Even without the "with benefits" attached, however, Miley and Mike seem to have a friendship that can't stop, won't stop.

Daft Punk & Nile Rodgers
Rodgers and the robots' friendship bred one of the top songs of 2013, but, in the end, the trio's bond was about more than just "getting lucky."

"We had such a great time making the record that we ...

‘Catching Fire’ For Halloween: Learn How To Get Katniss’ Scorching Makeup Look

While we've already seen our fair share of Miley Cyrus costumes this Halloween, we're ready for new ideas come Thursday night.

With "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" hitting theatres in just a few weeks (November 22) stores have been stocked with Katniss costumes, but with Halloween only one day away, many of you might be thinking how can I possibly pull off the perfect Katniss costume?

Well, you're in luck, because with the help of COVERGIRL's Capitol Collection, and our step-by-step tutorial, you will look exactly like Jennifer Lawrence during "Catching Fire's" pivotal tribute parade scene, and here's a hint: it's all in the eyes.


STEP 1: Build the Foundation & Glow
Every makeup look has to start off with a base, so to begin your Katniss look, make sure to apply COVERGIRL'S Clean whipped Crème foundation. Once that's set, top it off with the Clean Glow Blush to give your cheeks a radiant flush of color.


STEP 2: Get Flamed Out
Chances are you might not be entering your Halloween party in a chariot like Katniss does in the tribute parade, but that doesn't mean you won't get noticed. The way to do that is to perfect her blazing eyes. Use the Flamed Out Shadow Pencil in Gold Flame under the eye, followed by the Red-Hot flame pencil over the entire lid to create a creamy, color-heavy base. After that, you really want to intensify and amp up the color, so blend the Flamed Out Shadow pot in red-hot over the ...

So to help you put the pieces back together, we've put together a soundtrack to your sorrows: some of the greatest breakup albums (and songs) in recent memory. With all due respect to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours or Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, this is a very millennial situation, and as such, requires only the most millennial of music.

Britney And Lady Gaga ‘Alien’ Collabo Rumors Clarified

For a minute there, it looked like Britney's Army and Lady Gaga's Little Monsters may have had reason to applaud — in unison. But rumors that the Mother Monster will appear on Spears' next album, Britney Jean, are untrue.

Spears' producer, William Orbit, confirmed on Twitter late Tuesday that Gaga won't appear on which is one of the confirmed tracks on Spears' December 3 release.

"I see the rumours about a GG vocal collaboration on 'Alien' have died down. U prob already know it, but can confirm: No collab," Orbit wrote.

Speculation that the two pop stars had hooked up in the studio began circulating earlier this month after Britney Jean executive producer will.i.am tweeted at Gaga, using the word "alien" in his hashtag. Of course, he was just sending her some love about her ARTPOP album cover but it let fans to wonder if the Black Eyed Peas frontman was dropping some kind of subtle hint. Orbit has now officially shut that rumor down.

With the Gaga rumor cleared up, fans still have more new music to look forward to from Brit. Spears is expected to drop the Sia-penned ballad "Perfume" on November 5.

Why ‘Wolf Of Wall Street’ Is Giving Us ‘GoodFellas’ Flashbacks

One day after locking in a December 25 release date, Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" got a spectacular trailer to celebrate the occasion.

Scorsese's film about corporate greed in the early '90s — like many of his other looks at different aspects of the criminal lifestyle — clocks in at an epic three hours. And judging by the latest "Wolf of Wall Street" trailer, it uses his signature kinetic style. MTV Movies also spotted some of the tell-tale signs that this is a big, bad Scorsese flick. Read on as we break down five of the most important.

Voice-Over
It's the biggest giveaway: One of the most iconic style signatures of "Goodfellas"-era Scorsese is the use of voice-over to lay down some expositional detail. "As far back as I could remember, I always wanted to be a gangster"— those lines open Scorsese's crime classic, and we get a similar version here.

"At the tender age of 22, I headed to the only place that befit my high-minded ambition," explains Leonardo DiCaprio's stockbroker Jordan Belfort. And suddenly, we have our new Henry Hill .

The American Dream
What is a Scorsese crime epic without the self-starter? In "The Wolf of Wall Street," Jordan takes his firm from an abandoned auto-body shop to the very center of New York City's financial district. It's like how Henry Hill started selling cigarettes out of the back of a truck, and before you know it, he's walking through the back entrance of the Copacabana.

Smart-Ass Sidekick
While Scorsese can never replace the manic psychosis of Joe Pesci (the ...
