Kanye West had more than a few things to get off his chest when he took the stage on Wednesday night at New York's Roseland Ballroom. But the rapper certainly made two things clear: He doesn't like the paparazzi and he "ain't doing no mother----ing 'SNL' skits."

West, who's slated to perform during this weekend's , was on hand as featured entertainment for the Adult Swim upfronts. But he used the stage to lash out at the paparazzi, among other things. According to Complex magazine, which posted some video from the TV industry event, Yeezy went on an expletive-filled tirade during his hour-long set.

"One thing about me, I'm the worst kinda ... celebrity because all I do is make real music. All I do is sit in the studio and make real, real sh--. And that's it," he said, half-singing. "That's mother----ing it. That's mother----ing it. So I don't want nobody trying to run up on me with no cameras, trying to sell pictures and sh-- to magazines, asking me no dumbass questions, throwing me off of my focus and sh--," he continued. "Harassing you all mother----ing day. I ain't no mother----ing celebrity."

Over the last week, Yeezy has been snapped by photographers walking into a street sign and, days later , having trouble driving his Lamborghini through the gates at pregnant girlfriend Kim Kardashian's house. And while many celebrities use "SNL" has a platform to poke fun at those types of situations, West made it clear that he won't.

West said a friend asked him ...

By standards, Wednesday was pretty sleepy. Neither Candice Glover nor Kree Harrison are megawatt personalities who are going to bowl you over with their charm; both are pretty cold to the touch.

When the two came out onstage to open the show, they both made generic statements about how overwhelming it was to be there on finale night, and they both sounded about as convincing as a teenager saying he was excited to go spend the weekend with his grandparents. This wasn't Ruben vs. Clay, or Taylor vs. Katharine, or even Jordin vs. Blake. has had its share of problems this season, from spats at the judges' table to ratings-challenged issues (getting beat by "Grey's Anatomy" had to hurt), and the low-simmer Candice vs. Kree showdown isn't the kind of duel that is going to overshadow the show's troubles.

As has been stated time and again, their vocal abilities aren't in doubt. But after Angie Miller was voted off last week, it seemed like she took the show's chances at producing a relevant pop star with her. Can Candice or Kree prove us wrong? Let's go to the tape and weigh in on each contestant's performance Wednesday night.

Kree Harrison
It was immediately apparent that producers wanted Candice Glover to win. Why? For Harrison's first song, chosen by "Idol" producer Simon Fuller, she was saddled with Sarah McLachlan's "Angel," which for years has been most closely associated with McLachlan's campaign to end animal cruelty. Gee, nothing gets out the vote like conjuring up images of battered dogs! Harrison's version, ...

A new language was added to the Bing Translator this week, but it's not one that's commonly spoken in any earthly region. It's Klingon, the language of that particular race of aliens that can be seen in the films and TV series.

"There's a group of really good Klingon speakers working on this thing," linguist Marc Okrand told MTV News. And he should know: Dr. Okrand created Klingon and is the author of "The Klingon Dictionary."

Okrand first came to "Star Trek" to create a few lines of Vulcan for 1982's "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." "It's 10 seconds worth of film, if that," he recalled. "Mr. Spock has two lines and the character Saavik has two lines, and that's it." Okrand figured that was the end of his "Trek" involvement. "That was fun," he thought. "I got to teach Mr. Spock how to speak Vulcan."

But about a year and a half later, producer Harve Bennett called Okrand to tell him that Paramount was making another "Star Trek" film and, in this one, the villains would be Klingons. "He said, 'I looked around and I found out that there's nobody in charge of the Klingon language — you did Vulcan, you want to do Klingon?' That's how that happened."

Dr. Okrand was quick to point out, however, that he wasn't the first to invent Klingon words, which were initially heard in the original 1979 film. "Those lines were actually made up by James Doohan, the actor who played Scotty," Okrand explained. "When I got involved, ...

Gulf Shores, Alabama seems like an odd place to have a music festival, but then again, there was probably a time when folks scoffed at the idea of doing one in Manchester, Tennessee, too ... and look how that turned out.

I'm not about to compare Alabama's Hangout Fest to Tennessee's venerable Bonnaroo just yet ... but it's not exactly a stretch to see the similarities between the two. And I'm not just talking about their Southern locales, either. No, it starts with the notion that the organizers behind both fests are kindred spirits, in the way they book bands — fun fact, Trey Anastasio has performed at 50 percent of the Hangouts! — and the way they run their respective events.

Like Bonnaroo, Hangout is fun and loose; it may not have the famously dusty (and fabulously communal) campgrounds, but it makes up for that in metric tons of white sand, beautiful Gulf breezes, and warm sun. Not to mention boardwalk bars, waterslides and more peel-and-eat shrimp that you can possibly fathom. It remains the only festival where going barefoot is not only possible, but practically encouraged. It's relaxed in all the right ways, a party in every possible sense of the term. Yes, Hangout is rather aptly named.

Then again, the main attraction is the music and, as I witnessed firsthand last year, Hangout doesn't disappoint in that regard, either. I caught solid sets from Jack White, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Dave Matthews Band, not to mention folks like Skrillex and the ...

Her album may have pop anthems, empowering ballads and songs made to rule summer radio, but more importantly, Demi Lovato's self-titled fourth album is filled with honesty.

The is holding nothing back on her just-released album, raising the bar by taking risks with not only her sound, but her lyrics as well.

Lovato touches on all different aspects of relationships on Demi, from a lighthearted fling in "Something That We're Not" to holding on to the hope of a lost love with "In Case." She drew from personal experience, but during she confessed that writing about specific people in your life isn't as easy as you think.

"Not only does it draw up different emotions because there are songs about heartbreak and there are songs of just wanting to hook up," Lovato said. "And you never want the person you wrote about to hear that song and feel bad. I never want that to happen. But at the same time, it's coming from a personal experience, and if it turns out to be a great song and you're like, 'Well, sorry.'

More than anything, the is thrilled she created songs people can relate to, even if it put her in a very vulnerable position.

"There are songs that are pretty self-explanatory on this album and when I played those songs in front of other people I almost felt, like, naked," Lovato said. "There were several times I had to leave the room."

"Shouldn't Come Back" was one track she had a particularly hard time laying ...

It wasn't country versus soul, it was soul versus soul, as Kree Harrison and Candice Glover faced off Wednesday (May 15) in the first all-female finale in nine years.

The contestants sang three songs apiece: one chosen by "Idol" producer Simon Fuller, one that will be their winning single and one chosen by the contestants themselves as their favorite song of the season.

Harrison was up first with her version of Sarah McLachlan's "Angel," and Glover followed with Adele's "Chasing Pavements." Randy Jackson called the round for Glover — "at least she took the song and tried to make more of it," he said — but he wasn't blown away by either performance. Both songs were "a little sleepy, if I'm being honest," Jackson said.

In round two, Harrison debuted her would-be single, a country ballad called "All Cried Out." For a winning "Idol" song, it was a decided downer, with a chorus of, "I'm all cried out, I let it run like a river but I'm empty now." ("A Moment Like This," it wasn't.) Glover's song, "I Am Beautiful," was more melodic, more immediately catchy and more uplifting and was given a grander presentation, with images of fireworks bursting behind her as she sang the song's empowering chorus ("I am beautiful, I'm not alone," she sang). Keith Urban, who wound up giving the round to Harrison, said both songs were "tailor-made" for the contestants. Nicki Minaj — who said she felt Glover won the round — said Harrison's song made her "reach down in the gut" more than ever ...

From your cell phone to the Cineplex: Sony Pictures Entertainment announced Wednesday (May 15) that it won distribution rights to an "Angry Birds" animated film, which is planned for release July 1, 2016.

Rovio Entertainment is developing, producing and financing a 3-D film based on the game, which the company first released in 2009. Set to be produced by John Cohen and David Maisel, who previously shepherded "Despicable Me" and "Iron Man" into theaters, respectively, the film will further develop the world within the game after launching the "Angry Birds Toons" animated series earlier in 2013.

No plot details have yet been released, but one can't help but wonder if the filmmakers will create an origin story to reveal precisely what got those birds so angry in the first place.

"Angry Birds" previously enjoyed movie crossovers with "Rio," which spawned its own version of the game, and in which the Birds are the Rebel Alliance and their Bad Piggy nemeses are the Empire. There's no word yet whether director J.J. Abrams will incorporate elements of "Angry Birds" into his upcoming 2015 film "Star Wars Episode VII" to serve as a prequel for the animated film. The decision to have Sony distribute the film also paves the way for a cross-studio collaboration with "Rio 2," which is scheduled for release in 2014.

What 'Star Wars Episode VII' Can Learn From 'Angry Birds: Star Wars.'

About the forthcoming adaptation, Maisel and Cohen said, "We are very excited to join with Sony Pictures in presenting this movie to the world in 2016 and we will ...

"They've got a tank!"

Unique vehicles are a mainstay of the "Fast and the Furious" franchise, but the upcoming "Fast & Furious 6" is the first time audiences have ever seen a full-fledged, military-grade tank racing after the souped-up muscle cars or tricked-out imports driven by our heroes.

A brand-new clip just debuted on MTV, and in it, Tej Parker (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges) relays updates to his teammates during a high-stakes heist, leading to what promises to be one of the most unexpected chase sequences in the series' history.

"Let's play this fast and clean," Tej says via walkie talkie. (Playing it fast and furious might be inadvisable in a situation already fraught with tension.) "That thing's headed your way," he informs the rest of the team.

After one of Hobbs' (Dwayne Johnson) men launches a steel cable into the rock walls on either side of the freeway, his enemy's truck flips in the air. The transport Tej and company aimed to hijack grinds awkwardly to a halt. But before they can proclaim victory, a tank — hiding in the back of the transport — blasts through the crumpled cab that was carrying it, and takes off after the rest of Tej's teammates. Suffice it to say that the lookout man is concerned with the success of their plan. "Uh, guys, we've gotta come up with another plan," he says meekly. "They've got a tank!"
