‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’: We’ve Got 5 Burning Questions After The Jenner Split

Things are about to get a whole lot more interesting on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." After 22 years of marriage, Kris and Bruce Jenner have decided to call it quits.

On Tuesday, the former couple released a statement stating that even though their family remains their #1 priority, they are much happier living apart, and reportedly have been for a year.

During the ongoing current season of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," trouble brewed in reality television paradise as Bruce spent most of his time at a rented home in Malibu, California.

"Bruce might be getting his own place... dun, dun, dun. That's the music. Stay tuned," Khloe Kardashian teased to MTV News back in June about season eight. "[I'm] not really into that, but different strokes for different folks."

The E! reality show is slated to continue to air through season 10, but now that the two have ended their relationship, many questions have come up about the future of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

A Christmas Without Bruce?
It wouldn't be a holiday season without the Kardashian-Jenner Christmas card. Each year, the family gets together for a glitzy, glamorous and over-the-top photo shoot for the famed holiday card, which keeps fans anxiously awaiting to see who makes the cut.

Last month, Kim tweeted that they had already filmed a "very fun Christmas special" with the family, but there was no indication whether Bruce was present. Even if he wasn't physically at the filming doesn't mean he couldn't be included. Last year, during an appearance on the "The Ellen DeGeneres" ...

Jonas Brothers Cancel Tour, Citing ‘A Big Disagreement’

It looks likes it's (lines, vines and) trying times for the Jonas Brothers. The band has canceled their tour, which was scheduled to kick off Friday in Pennsylvania.

A rep for the band confirmed that the 19-date tour, which would have ended on November 6 in Seattle, has been canceled due to "a deep rift within the band. There was a big disagreement over their music direction."

Nick, Joe and Kevin had been tweeting about the trek as recently as October 7. Their rep had no further information for MTV News, but fans should take note that tickets will be refunded.

After pursuing some solo projects and interests, the guys had been staging a comeback in the last year after they took the stage for their big reunion show at Radio City Music Hall in NYC last October.

"It feels really good," Kevin, shared with MTV News at the time. (Kevin is expecting his first child with wife and fellow reality TV star, Danielle.) "It's been a long time coming. We've all been doing some individual stuff and on our own journeys, but now we're coming back together and the show's kind of the kick off to that."

Since then, the guys also released two singles earlier this year, and both of which were expected to appear on their next album, V. A release date for the album was never confirmed. The rep further tells People that the future of the band "remains to be seen" and added that it's all about "creative ...

Miley Cyrus Is Torn Over Next <i>Bangerz</i> Single: What’s Your Pick?

It's been more than 24 hours since Miley Cyrus has released her Bangerz album. The "Miley: The Movement" star already has two massive singles — "We Can't Stop," and "Wrecking Ball," which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart — but now the question on everyone's mind is: What will be next?

MTV News caught up with Miley on the day of her album release at New York City's Planet Hollywood where she revealed what she hopes will be the next single.

"I hope 'SMS (Bangerz)' with Britney. That would be awesome," Miley said adding that she "can't quit thinking" about what the video with Spears would look like. "But also, 'Adore You' is in the top 10 right now of iTunes, which I didn't really expect, so that's really cool too."

Fans also seem to be torn between the two songs. While "SMS" serves as a club-ready track, "Adore You" kicks off Bangerz with a sweet ballad, pulling listeners in. MTV News hit the streets and skimmed social media to find out which song they want taking over radio.

What do you think Miley's next single should be?

"I know that it will be 'SMS (Bangerz)' because Godney Spears herself graced us all with her presence," Miley fan Matthew Kelley Rand told us. "And I hope that the video will be as epic as the 'Work Bitch' one, so I think that would be the smartest choice."

Smiler @MJSwick tweeted, "It would be fun if @MileyCyrus slowed it down a bit with #AdoreYou #Mileysnextsingle." However, @MileyThailand ...

Miley Cyrus Reveals The <i>Bangerz</i> Track That Completed Her ‘Change’: Watch!

NEW YORK — After months of anticipation, the world finally got the opportunity to fully embrace Miley Cyrus' movement with her fourth album, Bangerz.

On Tuesday (October 8), the day of the album's release, Miley visited New York's Planet Hollywood in Times Square where she was greeted by thousands of Smilers and revealed to MTV News what she hopes her fans learn about her once they listen to Bangerz.

"I hope they really see it as the arc that it is," Cyrus said. "Even when I did my documentary for MTV, it really showed a complete arc of where I was and where I am now so I hope they kind of see that."

Many have different opinions of the former Disney star's latest effort, which is currently #1 in 70 countries, but no matter which way you look at it, the album is a personal, provocative and honest.

However, don't expect to figure everything out about the "Miley: The Movement" star on the first listen.

"It's not a one-listen record. If you keep listening to it, you can keep seeing where I change," Cyrus said. "And it's a real story and a real growing."

And Miley admits that there is one particular song where her fans will be able to pinpoint the exact moment of her change.

"I feel like I got to where I finally was on 'Someone Else,' which was the end of the record," Miley said of the intense and emotional Mike Will Made It-produced song about moving on from a relationship, that has her singing over a thumping ...

Kris Jenner Reveals Split With Bruce: ‘We Are Happier This Way’

Kris and Bruce Jenner have split, the Kardashian momager has confirmed.

Kris took to Us Weekly to put rumors to rest. "We are living apart," she revealed. "But there is no animosity. We are united and committed to our family."

"We ended a marriage, but that's not the end of our friendship," she said. "I will always love him, but we are [no] longer a couple in that way."

Together, the couple has two daughters, Kylie (16) and Kendall (17). Bruce has four kids from a previous marriage, and Kris has four kids from her marriage with OJ Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian — Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob. They have been married for 22 years, and a divorce is not in motion.

"We are happier this way," Kris told the mag, which reported that the family has been keeping the split secret for a year.

The divide between the talk show host and former Olympian has been playing out on the family's reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." At the beginning of the season, Jenner boys Brody and Brandon come into the mix, mingling with their half-siblings. While they hung out, they encouraged Bruce to stick up for himself against Kris, who likes to maintain control over the family's image. During Kim's pregnancy with baby North West, Kris had Bruce move to Malibu with daughters Kylie and Kendall, while Kanye West and Kim moved into the house. Another storyline included a time when Bruce had to schedule an appointment with his wife to ask her if he could keep a gun ...

Cage The Elephant Get Fearless On <i>Melophobia</i>

Let's just get this out of the way right at the top: Yes, Cage The Elephant's new Melophobia album came out on the same day as Miley Cyrus' Bangerz. No, they were not aware of that fact.

"I didn't know we were going head-to-head," frontman Matthew Shultz deadpanned. "That's alright though. I think she tweeted some really nice things about our band once, back when we were nominated for a VMA, so as long as she likes us, it's cool."

That ends all discussion about pop's most polarizing star ... or really, any contemporary music. Because on the stony, sonically ambitious Melophobia — which, literally means "fear of music" — Cage The Elephant make all attempts to distance themselves from everything (and everyone) currently on the charts, deciding instead to record an album that returns music to its roots.

"I think music in its barest form is a means to communicate, whether it was a circle of people around a fire banging on drums and asking for rain, or it was a guy in the 16th century creating compositions for an orchestra to play, it was something to be enjoyed by us all," Shultz said. "It's not necessarily a fear of music, it's a fear of creating music to project premeditated images of self, like catering to cool, or making music to project an image of being intellectual or artistic or poetic, rather than just trying to be an honest communicator."

"Music is the universal language. It's a cliché, but it's true," his brother, guitarist Brad Shultz, added. "One of the ...

Nipsey Hussle’s #1 Fan Puts No Price On $100 Album

On Tuesday (October 8), Nipsey Hussle offered up hard copies of his Crenshaw album at a Los Angeles pop-up shop with a whopping price tag of $100. The purchase doubles as a ticket to the rapper's upcoming hometown concert, and fans like 20-year-old Compton native Louis Gray lined up to buy "the world's first $100 album" — as it was billed — with no hesitation.

"I was surprised, as anybody else would be, but I wanted it either way. I'm a die-hard fan and I wanted to be a part of history," Gray told MTV News on Tuesday afternoon. "There was only 1,000 [CDs] made, and I wanted to have one because that's my favorite rapper. I've gotta support."

The Crenshaw project is available online via mixtape outlets but Nipsey presented it both in L.A. and for sale on his IAmProud2Pay.com site. And with only 1,000 hard copies available, some fans were willing to shell out the big bill. At press time, every last copy (and more) had sold at that established price, which has the rapper pocketing six figures.

"If it's an artist I really connect to and they motivate me, I won't trip about a price. No price is too high," Gray said, pointing to Nipsey's upcoming studio debut, Victory Lap. "No matter how much it costs — if I paid $100 for this, the album can cost $500 and I'll still buy it. Money is no object when it's all game right there on the track. On the CD, they're giving away free game, it's ...

Lady Gaga Is Jeff Koons’ Biggest Fan… But Who Is He?

Lady Gaga promised that she was going to rope in some serious art world heavyweights for her ARTPOP project. And the proof is right there on the just-revealed iconic cover of the album
: a sculpture of the singer by artist Jeff Koons. The controversial sculptor best known for his oversized, shiny balloon animals and flowers has been confounding critics for decades, as well as breaking the bank at art auctions.

That combo makes his sculpture the perfect fit for Gaga, a singer unafraid to toss techno, rock, industrial, rap and pop
 into one artfully messy mix on ARTPOP in a bid for mass sales and maximum exposure.

But who is Koons and why was Gaga so drawn to him that he earned a shout-out in the lyrics to "Applause?" Breaking The Bank
More than 30 years into his career, Koons set a record in November 2012 for one of the highest prices ever paid for a work by a living artist when an unknown buyer spent more than $33.6 million on his "Tulips" sculpture, which depicts a series of shiny, colorful flowers.

"Not only is he not apologetic, he's proud of [the high prices paid for his art]," said Pepe Karmel, a professor in the department of art history at New York University. "Artists today often take day jobs while trying to support themselves... but you could take his whole career as a brilliant, extended performance piece taking our national and global obsession with marketing and selling and turning a mirror on it."

Eminem’s Detroit Childhood Haunts His ‘Survival’ Video

Eminem unleashed some furious bars on "video.

The gloomy clip features footage from the video game playing in the background, while Eminem raps passionately, fully clad in black. The storyline simultaneously follows a group of masked artists who spray paint and stencil skulls across Detroit, and only at the very end is it confirmed that Shady is the leader of the crew.

"Survival" will be featured on Em's upcoming seventh album The Marshall Mathers LP 2, so it makes sense that the video ends with the Detroit native surveying a house marked with the number 19946. That would represent 19946 Dresden Street, the house where he grew up in Detroit, and which also appears on the cover art for his latest album. He revealed the artwork last month on Twitter, with a quick trivia question for fans.

"Alright I'm gonna ask a trivia question...first person to get it right gets the #MMLP2 album art before anyone else," Em wrote at the time. "What street did me & Mr. Porter live on together in Detroit when we were working as cooks at Gilbert's Lodge? #MMLP2."

Even though the winner spelled the street name incorrectly, Em was still kind enough to share the artwork. The image is similar to the cover of the original Marshall Mathers LP, which dropped in 2000.

The Marshall Mathers LP 2 will be released on November 5.
