DJ Khaled seems to follow his "No New Friends" mantra in his personal life. While the charismatic record producer surely meets new folks every day, he places a lot of value on his longstanding relationships. How else do you think he's able to gather MCs like Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and Drake to contribute to his new single?

"It's not a sales pitch. With Drake, first of all Drake's my friend. He's family; he's a team," Khaled told MTV News of his "No New Friends" collaborator.

On Sunday, MTV Jams premiered the throwback-styled "No New Friends" video, where Khaled and Drake reenacted a scene from what was supposed to be their 1996 lives. The actual single was released in April, but it took Khaled quite some time to get it done. "Last time I worked with Drake was two years ago [on] 'I'm On One.' It took me damn near a year to get that record done. It took me two years to get this record done," he revealed.

"I'm On One," like "No New Friends," features Drake, Weezy and Ross. The combination was so good that the song hit #1 on the Billboard rap charts in 2011 and has since sold more than three million copies. But that type of magic isn't easy to duplicate — especially with busy artist schedules. "Drake's a real creative person, I'm a real creative person and sometimes it just doesn't match that time to do what we gotta do," Khaled said. "Not anybody can just work with a Drake and I know that. As ...

Jeopardizing the safety of the free world may be a big deal, but according to Jamie Foxx's President Sawyer in "White House Down," there are some lines that cannot be crossed.

In Roland Emmerich's new film, the president and an aspiring secret-service agent named Cale team up after a mysterious terrorist launches an attack on the White House. In an exclusive new clip from the film, the duo face a pair of killers with enough firepower at their fingertips to take down the building by themselves.

As Cale races to safety behind a kitchen counter, a black-clad killer opens fire on him, following his movement with a seemingly nonstop trail of bullets. Meanwhile, Sawyer battles against his own foe for a gun that's just out of reach, eventually succumbing to his frustrations after his opponent grabs his sneakers.

"Hand off my Jordans!" snaps Sawyer, kicking the man in the face and immobilizing him.

Sawyer grabs the gun and runs to help Cale, who attacked his adversary when he stopped to reload, but found himself quickly overpowered. As he's held hostage, Cale yells to the president, thinking he can free himself. "Shoot, shoot!" he says as he struggles, before realizing that he's not going to be able to break free. "No, don't shoot," he says, acquiescing to his captor's viselike grip.

As the president puts on his glasses, contemplating what to do next, Cale seizes on a moment of inspiration and jams a nearby pair of scissors in the man's leg. The man's grip starts to loosen — but is it enough to save Cale ...

Some heroes seem custom-built for hardcore realism and the more mature ratings that go along with their films. Iron Man's hobbies include flirting and carousing, just as Batman's include an unrelenting quest for merciless vengeance. When these heroes were placed in PG-13 films, no comic-book writers stepped up to oppose the decision. That's not been the case with "Man of Steel."

Writer Greg Rucka, who has penned plenty of acclaimed superhero comics for DC during his successful career, wrote an op-ed piece for The Hollywood Reporter that succinctly summed up the reason for caution.

"I don't know if this is a genuine caution to parents, or a marketing decision aimed at a demographic too-cool for Superman's brand of hope and idealism, yet embracing of Batman's self-loathing rough justice, to assure them their ticket will be money well-spent," writes Rucka. "I don't know if that PG-13 is there out of sincerity or cynicism or politics. I just know that if you make a Superman movie you can't take kids to, you've done something wrong."

In order to put Rucka's thought-out point into perspective, as well as hopefully reach a consensus on the Great Rating Debate, we rounded up a panel of specialists for their thoughts.

"So long as Superman, as a character, is committed to securing for this PG-13 Metropolis a more PG-to-hard-G tomorrow, this Superman fan is willing to accept the tone. That said, Superman should reflect sunlight just as he absorbs and renders it to leap tall buildings. With their story in 'Adventures of Superman' #1, Jeff Parker and Chris Samnee ...

"This Is The End" boasts one of the most impressive casts ever assembled for a comedy. But even playing mock versions of themselves, one imagines that at least a few of them might have been reluctant to embrace the jerky personas they were forced to adopt for the film. Michael Cera, who plays one of the worst characters in the film, however, evidently leapt into the challenge with both feet.

"What's funny is how he had almost zero comments on it whatsoever," Seth Rogen told MTV News. "We sent him the script and I think we got back literally an email of him saying, 'I'm in!' And then we didn't talk to him until he showed up on set."

In the film, Rogen, Cera and their co-stars all play cartoonish exaggerations of themselves, in some cases feeding off the public's perception of them, and in others, such as with Cera, inventing an entirely different personality. Rogen explained that the rest of the cast had made comments about Cera in their scenes that the "Arrested Development" star eagerly interpolated into his performance.

'This Is The End': The Reviews Are In!

"We had filmed other people talking about him a lot, because we refer to him a lot throughout the movie," Rogen said. "So we were like, OK, he's just some of the stuff other people have said about your character — people have been happy you're dead, they think you're terrible, it's crazy. And he was like, OK, great, cool! And that was like it. We would say, OK, go! And he did ...

Kanye West just wants his music to do the talking, except when he broke his no media rule to talk on record about it. Not only is his June 18 LP Yeezus the most anticipated album this year, it is also the one that music fans and critics know the least about — until this week.

Without a traditional radio single or video (or traditional anything) in place, 'Ye played Yeezus for a group of journalists and A-listers like Jay-Z and Beyoncé on Monday, and then, on Tuesday night The New York Times published a rare and in-depth interview with the star and luckily he gave us some tidbits. So what have we learned about Yeezus so far? Let's recap.

Rick Rubin's Contributions Were Humbling To Kanye
In order to move his brand of hip-hop to the next level, Kanye turned to famed producer Rick Rubin for Yeezus. During the recording sessions at Rubin's Malibu studio, he taught Yeezy to strip away the layers of his music. "I'm still just a kid learning about minimalism, and he's a master of it. It's just really such a blessing, to be able to work with him," 'Ye told the Times before admitting that the Def Jam co-founder humbled him.

Yeezus Is New Wave?
A funny thing happened to Yeezy on the way to releasing his sixth solo LP, the rap star found out that he had crossed-genres. West didn't say that he was no longer hip-hop, but his musical boundaries have clearly been pushed away. "I didn't realize I was new wave ...

He's touring with Taylor Swift, got a gig as a teen brand ambassador for Lil Wayne's Trukfit line and worked with in-demand director Colin Tilley for his new music video. It's pretty safe to say Austin Mahone is rolling with the in-crowd.

But anyone looking for proof won't need to look any further than his Instagram. When the 17-year-old singer stopped by on Monday for our "Live From MTV" special, we asked him to give us the backstory on some of the best pictures he's posted with famous friends. Mahomies may be way into those shirtless photos, but these got nearly as many likes!

The first photo host Christina Garibaldi showed Austin was with Selena Gomez, who Mahone said was "really cool."

"We're both from Texas, so that's cool. That was at the Disney Music Awards," he explained about the photo. The singers both attended the dinner after last month's Billboard Music Awards (as did Mahone's tourmates, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran), and the "Say You're Just a Friend" singer revealed he and Gomez just talked about "music stuff."

In another pic, which Mahone captioned "Met my inspiration," he looks giddy posing with Chris Brown, a big influence on Austin's dancing.

"I think he's an amazing artist. He puts on a really good show. I'm a big fan of his music, so it [the photo] was actually in L.A. at this charity event," Mahone explained. He snagged a photo with cutie Ariana Grande at the same event. And according to Mahone, ...
