Watch Seth Rogen And Lisa Kudrow Square Off In Exclusive ‘Neighbors’ Clip

It's a battle of the headlines in a brand new clip from the R-rated comedy

In the movie, a fraternity, led by Zac Efron, moves in next door to a married couple, played by Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne. Clearly, things don't go too smoothly, and this scene, which debuted exclusively on the "Neighbors" 2014 MTV Movie Awards Takeover, shows Rogen taking the fight to the fraternity's dean, played by none other than Lisa Kudrow, who is unwilling to help out the couple.

"I'm always thinking about the headlines," says Kudrow. "Fraternity keeps couple awake ... I don't even think that'd make the local police blotter."

"Get ready to read the headline of the century: extra, extra, baby swallows condom!" yells Rogen while slamming down a used condom in a plastic bag.

But Kudrow's Dean will not back down from their argument, which is steadily devolving into a case of dueling headlines. Kudrow may have won, but will it be Rogen or Efron who will come out on top in the raunchy comedy? Find out when "Neighbors" hits theaters May 9.

‘American Idol’ Recap: Find Out Who Made The Top 7

Malaya Watson traveled through the fire and ended up getting burned. The season's youngest contestant was voted off on Thursday (April 10) after her performance of Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire" on Wednesday's show.

Here's how Watson's elimination went down:

Watson Gets The Boot

Watson's third visit to the bottom — Thursday only a Bottom 2 was revealed, not a Bottom 3 — proved to be her last as she was sent packing. The 16-year-old tuba player from Southfield, Michigan, teared up as her season's recap played on the studio's big screen, and she was choked up throughout her closing performance of the "Dreamgirls" song "I Am Changing."

Watson was surrounded by her fellow contestants as she sang her final song, and most of them were males: Of the season's six eliminated contestants, five have been girls. The only ladies left as "Idol" moves to its Top 7 are Jena Irene and Jessica Meuse.

C.J. Escapes Elimination

For the third time in as many weeks, C.J. Harris also faced elimination, and he was again able to escape "Idol's" axe. He received good marks for his performance of Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" on Wednesday, but his time seems to be running out.

Going forward, Harris needs to loosen up and have a little fun on stage, as his lack of personality seems to be one of his shortcomings. Caleb Johnson has plenty to give -- maybe Harris can borrow some?

Where's The Save When You Need It?

The judges used up their one save for the season last week on Sam Woolf. But had it still been available, ...

Hear A Preview Of Miley Cyrus And Flaming Lips’ Beatles Cover

What happens when Miley Cyrus and Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne hit the studio together? Well, apart from rolling enormous joints, getting and vomiting diamonds, they also cook up some pretty rad tunes together.

On Thursday (April 10), Coyne shared a preview of their cover of the Beatles classic "A Day in the Life." Miley takes the place of Paul McCartney over a more electronic beat courtesy of New Fumes.

" Woke up ..fell out of bed.. dragged a comb across my head.. Yep!!!! @mileycyrus singing the Paul McCartney bit on A Day In The Life!!!!! Yesss!! Thanks @NewFumes Almost done mixin !! Gon beeee rad!!!!! If ya love The Beatles and John Lennon you gonna love this!!! #freaks#floyd #beatles #srgtpeppers #theflaminglips#lovemoneyparty #dogsmusicfriends," he wrote.

The two also recorded a cover of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" in the studio session last month. Back in February, the unlikely duo -- who have been rather fond of each other on Twitter -- joined forces onstage in L.A. on Miley's Bangerz tour for to perform the Lips classic "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots."

Rick Ross Admits He’s Missing One Thing In His Career

By many measures, Rick Ross has had a lengthy and successful rap career. But there's still one thing that he's chasing.

"Just executing that platinum album out the gate," Rozay told DJ Skee when asked what he felt was missing. "Six gold albums. And, really, my first album, I believe they said it's maybe 20,000 records from being certified platinum."

Ross' latest disc, Mastermind, was released in early March. The album sold 179,000 copies in its first week, and has moved 290,000 units to date. His previous album, 2012's God Forgives, I Don't, was certified gold — just like his previous four. But that's not enough.

"I just feel like it's still sh-- I gotta do," he said. "In that moment, I just wanna execute one of those joints. I think that most definitely [would] be something that's real cool."

Beyond his musical goals, the rapper is ready to expand his business empire, including his recently formed Maybach Films. "We just finished writing our first film," he said. "We'll be giving you a lot more details about it real soon, but we just putting the final touches on this movie, which we plan on filming before the year's out. So, you can expect it early next year... I think this gonna be a game-changer."

Jennifer Lopez Reveals Album Features: Robin Thicke, Big Sean And More

For her first album since 2011, Jennifer Lopez has decided to tap into her extensive Rolodex.

"Chris Brown did write some stuff on it," she told VladTV. "He's not on the album, but he did write a few songs for me."

As for who is on the album? Well, that's a pretty star-studded and lengthy list.

"Definitely French Montana, Tyga, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, Robin Thicke, Maxwell," she revealed.

That might not be all. Last year, J. Lo hit the studio with Future. It's still up in the air where the results of that session will end up, though.

"The track I did with Future, I don't know if it's gonna make the album," she said. "It was one of the first things that I did. This is the first time I've ever taken this long to make an album, where it's over a year I've been working on it. And all the songs don't make the album, obviously."

Beyond the work she's been doing for her album (and her "American Idol" judging duties, and all her other ventures), J. Lo has also had time for a special musical project. On Monday, her collaboration with Pitbull and Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte, was released online. It will serve as the official song of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Earlier this year, the singer released featuring French Montana, which serves as a single for the upcoming project.

There is currently no official release date or title for the new album.

Lil Wayne Name-Drops His Many, Many Women On New Freestyle

Lil Wayne's got a lot of ladies, and he's not afraid to name 'em.

In the latest episode of his weekly vlog series, "Weezy Wednesdays," the rapper kicked a freestyle over a live rendition of "6 Foot 7 Foot," where he lists the many women whom he's been with.

"I just might go and get a dance from Sophia/ If I'm in the area," he raps at one point, before adding, "Know a bitch named Dominique/ She live right by the beach."

The freestyle, which is backed by a live band and performed for Mack Maine and Weezy's manager, Cortez Bryant, comes as part of the video's opening sequence.

"I live in Miami, it's way too many bitches," Tunechi raps, less as a complaint than boast.

In total, in the brief minute and a half rhyme, the YMCMB MC namedrops more than half a dozen females. It's not all listing sexual escapades, though. He flexes his signature wit, too: "I live in Miami, it's way too many women/ Everybody cheatin', they on that Roger Clemens."

Much of the rest of the video focuses on Tunechi's other favorite hobby: skateboarding.

And long will this snippet have to hold fans over before they got some official new music from the rap star? Not long — we think and hope.

In March, Bryant clarified that Tha Carter V would not drop on May 5, as had been rumored. He did talk it up, though. "[It's] gonna be f---in' amazing," he said. "It's gonna be that good."

Those May 5 rumors were set in motion by an announcement Drake made ...
