Kim and Kanye’s Wedding Invitation Isn’t At All What We Expected

by 05/10/14

When the names Kim Kardashian and Kanye West come to mind, subtlety is not the first thing that comes to mind. But the duo known as Kimye have managed to muster up just that for their impending nuptials and the requisite invitation, thanks to a sneaky guest and US Weekly.

I mean, what is this? How is it that the Kim and Kanye Wedding Of The Millennium Of All Time is going off with nothing more than a neutral background with a stately texture and embossed gold lettering? Is that really what one would expect from the man who’s compared himself to a king, a god, Deepak Chopra, Jerome from “Martin,” 2 Pac, Picasso, Steve Jobs, Michael Jordan, Andy Warhol, and Walt Disney? Would Andy Warhol really settle for subtle minimalist? Ha! We think not.

Oh that Kanye — always trying to keep us on our toes.

‘Community’ Gets Cancelled and We’re Pretty Bummed But There’s Still Hope

by 05/10/14

You had a good run, Greendale. After five seasons of meta-obsession and homages to genres popular and obscure, the Dan Harmon creation that was Community is no more on NBC. After a fifth season that was truly a return to form (following that dreadful — yeah, we said it — season four without its visionary helmer), there was hope that the show might actually make it to that all-important #sixseasonsandamovie — but alas, time is cruel and ratings-fronted rulings on the fate of television are often crueler.

Sure, there’s little surprise in the fact that the show — always on the brink of cancellation — finally got the axe, but that doesn’t make the truth hurt any less. In fact, there was a veritable s–tstorm on Twitter following the announcement, with pop culture obsessives commiserating over their now-fallen comrade.

“Twitter isn’t big enough to hold my condolences and more importantly my gratitude to the best fans, cast and crew in TV history,” the series’ creator and showrunner, Dan Harmon stated on Twitter. “Excelsior.” He wasn’t the only one who took to the social networking site to discuss the news.

Joel McHale, the series’ star, was the first to comment on the news, sending shivers down our spine because OH NO IT’S REAL:

The rest of the cast went the gratitude route:

But don’t lose faith yet! There is still the glimmering vestige of hope that is the fact that, according to Entertainment Weekly, the series’ production home, Sony TV, will try to ...

James Franco is Not Happy About ‘Spring Breakers 2′

by 05/10/14

You guys, James Franco is upset. And, naturally, when he gets upset, things get weird. Eating-rice-cakes-in-dreads-in-bed levels of weird. While the unnamed woman heard speaking in the Instagram video insists these shenanigans have to do with an excess ingestion of “too much dope in the club,” we’re fairly certain it also has to do with the fact that they’re making a Spring Breakers sequel. Turns out the Alien America deserved but didn’t know they needed is none too pleased with the idea of Spring Breakers 2, and his poor, delicate tummy can’t seem to take it.

“ALIEN IN REHAB! And BTW F*** that SBers 2 BS, they’re doing it without HARMONY’s CONSENT. Sounds LAME AS A MUTHA!” the caption attached to the video states. Which doesn’t really speak so much to aggravated tummies as it does annoyance at production house Wild Bunch and, well…just watch it and make up your own mind about it. But there’s no denying it’s strange in that way we’ve come to expect from Franco at this point. Call us when he does something really bizarre, like leave his Instagram account at home.

This Retro Clip Of Weezer Explaining ‘The Sweater Song’ Is Really Weezer-y

by 05/10/14

I have a vivid memory of skipping out to FYE at the Crystal Mall in Waterford, Connecticut, to pick up Weezer‘s self-titled debut record, which dropped 20 years ago today. A lot of singing-in-the-car followed said purchase, as well as vigorous mirror-dancing.

This memory invoked two thoughts within my weekend-addled brain: 1). I am an old person who is old. 2). I still don’t really understand what “Undone (The Sweater Song)” means.

The below clip — which we dug from the MTV vaults — does little to illuminate.

Check out the Weezer dudes unraveling our collective mind sweaters below.

Justin Bieber Is A ‘F–king Irresponsible Asshole,’ According To The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney

by 05/09/14

If you’re a celebrity and you’ve got beef with Justin Bieber, now may be a good time to let it be known. The hits just keep coming.

Seth Rogen called the pop star “a bit of a mother—-er” earlier this week, and the Black Keys’ Patrick Carney called him a “f–king irresponsible asshole” in an interview with Rolling Stone on Friday (May 9).

Carney’s Bieber beef is deep-rooted (kinda). His back-and-forth with the 20-year-old started last February. “He’s rich, right?” the drummer asked, rhetorically, in response to a question about Bieber not winning a Grammy. “Grammys are for like music, not for money … and he’s making a lot of money. He should be happy.”

Bieber wasn’t pleased when he caught wind of the comments, and wrote on Twitter that, “the black keys drummer should be slapped around haha.”

It’s that tweet, written over a year ago, that still has Carney incensed at Bieber.

“Justin Bieber, like a f–king irresponsible asshole, sicced 40 million Twitter followers on me because I paid him a compliment he didn’t understand,” he told the magazine on Friday. “And he shouldn’t be f–king telling his followers to slap me, and then also be doing anti-bullying bullsh–. It’s so irresponsible.

“I mean, Justin Bieber is a f–king moron,” Carney continued. “Honestly, I feel bad for him. I don’t dislike his music. I don’t listen to his music, but he needs to not conduct himself that way. Like, really, you make millions of dollars playing music, you should feel ...

Eminem’s Mother Day Plan? An Apology To Debbie Mathers In ‘Headlights’ Video

by 05/09/14

Eminem might not be the first person you’d expect to get sentimental on Mother’s Day, but he’s planning on doing just that.

On Friday (May 9), the Detroit native teased his “Headlights” video, posting an image on Instagram, as well as a short video clip, confirming that it will drop this Sunday. The timing is no coincidence. The Marshall Mathers LP 2 track is an apology from Em to his mother, Debbie Mathers, with whom he had a public feud for much of his career.

“But as stubborn as we are, did I take it too far, ‘Cleaning Out My Closet’/ And all them other songs, but regardless I don’t hate you/ ‘Cause ma, you’re still beautiful to me, ’cause you’re my mom,” he raps at one point. The theme recurrs throughout the song.

That post comes just a month after Em first revealed details about the video, back in April, when he posted a photo of himself and Spike Lee. The Academy Award-nominated Lee directed the video for the track, which also features Nate Ruess of fun.

Watch Harry Styles Whip Out His … New Crotch Tattoo

by 05/09/14

Well, Harry “Hazza” Styles said he loves getting naked — and often. We were forewarned. Still, that knowledge didn’t prevent fans from going insane the other night when Styles unzipped his pants on stage in Brazil to reveal a tiny new tattoo honoring the locale.

Yup, Styles’ quest to become the most-tatted teen idol rages on — watch out Bieber and (fellow bro) Sheeran!

First, those lower-belly fern tattoos made an appearance while the boy bander was splashin’ and relaxin’ poolside. Now, it seems dude is playing “how low can you go?” with the tattoo needle — that “Brasil!” piece is pret-ty DL.

It’s still uncertain whether the tat is the real deal or not — a Vine of the big reveal states that it’s temporary — but, either way, I’m sure 1D fans appreciate the peepshow.

This Claymation Video Of The Orwells Destroying ‘Letterman’ Melted Our Faces

by 05/09/14

The Internet is a highly subjective and toothy place, but I don’t care. I’m going to go ahead and say it: This claymation video of The Orwells destroying “Late Night with David Letterman” is the best thing on the Web (that has been posted within the last few hours or so).

The detail in this video is incredible — from the pained expression on Mario’s face when he slumps in the hallowed guest chair to Paul Shaffer’s unrestrained glee when he shouts, “One more time! One more time!”

All that’s missing is Mario’s borderline-obscene prone-on-the-floor hip thrusts. Maybe they ran out of clay.

Jeezy Asks ‘What The F–k Is Def Jam?’ On New Single: Listen

by 05/09/14

Need someone to feed the streets? That’s Jeezy, OK?

On Friday (May 9), the Atlanta rapper dropped new solo music for the first time in months, with the release of “Me OK.” The track, produced by Drumma Boy, is a vintage Jeezy record in its’ sound and style. Many of the rhymes find the 36-year-old in his prime trap-rap-slinging form, but he also serves up some words about his current label situation.

“When L.A. Reid was in office made some history up in Def Jam/ If Jizzle ain’t droppin, n—a, what the f–k is Def Jam?/ I know you heard how your boy bossed up at Atlantic/ Boss sh–, might just drop my next album on Atlantic,” he raps in the song’s second verse.

Including his 2005 debut, Jeezy has dropped four albums on Def Jam, which remains his current label home (his most recent was TM:103 Hustlerz Ambition in 2011). But in 2012, he was appointed Senior Vice President of A&R at Atlantic Records.

There’s no word on when we can expect Jeezy’s new album, but this song might be the beginning of that rollout.

Paranormal Investigator Debunks Demi Lovato Ghost Snap

by 05/08/14

Remember “Demi Lovato And The Case Of The Creepy Floating Ghost Head” (a.k.a. what is sure to be the next “Nancy Drew” smash)?

Well, we’ve got some more fuel to add to the ghostly fire in the form of expert analysis — courtesy of Timothy Davis, director of Center for Paranormal Investigation Association.

To back up for those not familiar with the tale: A photo has been making the round on Twitter featuring Demi Lovato sporting a lovely, shiny jacket — which a creepy-eyed ghost appears to be checking out covetously.

Lovato has had her share of ghostly encounters in the past — her house is haunted by a child-ghost (a.k.a. the scariest brand of ghost) named Emily — so the fact that one could be following her around didn’t seem that far-fetched. (Well, depending on how you feel about ghosts).

One expert we spoke to — although skeptical of the validity of the photo — even speculated that Lovato’s messing with the dead could have prompted them to follow her.

Still, when Davis took a look at the snap, he wasn’t wholly convinced. “My opinion is that it is very a compelling photo, but without a better quality photo or more evidence, it doesn’t appear to be supernatural to me,” he told MTV News, adding, “I am leaning toward thinking that the face could be caused by the ‘perfect’ combination of a few random factors.”

“Which random factors?” you may ask. Allow him to explicate:

Sensor Noise: “This photo looks like it was ...
