Earlier this year MTV News was lucky enough to visit the set of AMC’s hit show “The Walking Dead,” which returns this Sunday (October 12). And no visit to the set is complete without checking in with the show’s resident ass-kicker, Norman Reedus – a.k.a. the crossbow wielding Daryl Dixon.

So what will happen with Daryl in season five? Because as fans know, if Daryl dies… We riot.

“He’s dirtier! His hair is longer!” Reedus said. “I can’t really tell you anything. It’s tough. If you look at these characters from the beginning, they’re all completely different from when we started the show. Everyone’s in constant movement. Everyone is evolving. Everyone is fighting for what they believe in, or not.”

And then Reedus went ahead and described how this season is different from previous seasons, using the phrase, “Boing, boing, boing, boing.”

Maybe you just need to watch the interview for yourself?

“The Death Of Wolverine” was just the beginning. Though Marvel’s most popular mutant may be dead and gone by the end of 2014, in January of 2015 the publisher will be launching a new weekly comic focused on all the sharp, sharp characters he’s left behind.

Marvel Comics

The news will be announced officially later today (October 11) at Marvel’s “DEATH OF WOLVERINE – THE LOGAN LEGACY” panel at New York Comic-Con, but MTV News is pleased to exclusively bring you the information on the next big step in Logan’s un-life, right here, right now.

Written by Charles Soule (“Death Of Wolverine”) and Ray Fawkes (“The Logan Legacy”), with art by Nick Bradshaw, the ongoing weekly finds Mystique, Daken, Sabretooth, X-23 and a few mystery characters uncovering secrets behind Wolverine’s death… As well as a healthy dose of good old fighting.

To find out more about the series – as well as show off covers and some interior art – we talked to Soule, Fawkes and Editor Mike Marts over e-mail:

Marvel Comics

MTV News: Congrats on the new series, guys, but I’ve got to ask: how long are you going to wait before one of the cast shouts, “WOLVERIIIIINES!!!” while going down in a hail of bullets?

Mike Marts: Page 1, Panel 1!

Charles Soule: It doesn’t happen on every page, but it happens quite a bit. There are certain ingredients to a series like this that I feel are somewhat non-negotiable – fundamental parts of the architecture you ...

Taylor Swift has been sweeping across the country like a tide, building anticipation for her first major 100% pop album 1989, so it seemed fitting that she release a cover that plays off that same notion.

The “Shake It Off” singer has been traveling Europe doing press, so naturally she stopped by the BBC Radio 1′s Live Lounge to lay down a little session of her own—a live rendition of Vance Joy‘s touching “Riptide.”

The track is full of romantic longing and slightly tinged with sadness AKA it’s already completely in Taylor’s wheelhouse.

Is anyone else getting “All Too Well” Grammy performance flashback vibes from her subdued, emotional piano performance?! I love the big pop star moments, but I also love it when she strips and delivers her signature barren, barbed verses over simple melodies.

“I love you when you’re singing that song / and I got a lump in my throat ’cause / you’re gonna sing the words wrong,” goes the chorus. But we never have to fear that with Taylor—she nails every lyric. Watch it below:

Forget gang signs. Kendrick Lamar is getting people to throw up hearts with their hands.

The cover art for K. Dot’s most recent single, “i,” depicted two men — one wearing red, the other in blue, symbolizing Bloods and Crips — standing next to one another and making hearts with their hands. The chorus of the song repeats the refrain “I love myself.” And love was again the message in the lyric video for the song, which dropped on Friday (October 10).

As the Compton native’s upbeat lyrics scroll across the bottom of the screen, an array of images rotate to populate the main frame of the video: Mothers, children, teens; people in business attire, wearing bandannas, and rocking t-shirts — really, all walks of life are represented. And they’re all throwing hearts up.

The video is directed by Christian San Jose.

Though there’s no official date for Kendrick’s sophomore major label album, the rapper said he’s aiming to drop it before the year is over.

“I’m hoping to push it out before 2015,” he said in an interview last month. “I’m gonna say that. I’m working hard in the studio.”

Waka Flocka was arrested earlier today at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. He was reportedly charged with Carrying a Weapon in a Prohibited Place and taken to Clayton County jail.

Could this have been the gun that was in his bag?

The photo, which was posted to the TSA’s Instagram account Friday afternoon, included a caption that said it was found at the same airport where the rapper was arrested.

“#TSACatch – This 5.7X28mm pistol was discovered in a carry-on bag today at the #Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson (#ATL) International Airport,” the caption reads. “It was loaded with 29 rounds plus one in the chamber. This could have been legally packed in checked baggage. Learn more about traveling with firearms at TSA.gov.”

Waka’s mother and rep, Debra Antney, told TMZ that the bag actually belonged to his fiance, and he took it accidentally.

Stay tuned to MTV News as more details develop.

Chris Brown and Trey Songz announced a joint tour back in August, and on Friday (October 10), they released two new collabs that we might hear during those shows.

Both duets are remixes of current hits, as Breezy and Trigga take on Schoolboy Q‘s “Studio” and the TeeFLii and 2 Chainz‘s “24 Hours.” As you probably expected, the two R&B sensations are all about the ladies on these, as they get explicit about some of the things they’d like to do to some special women.

Though we don’t have much info on the tour, CB and Trey went back and forth with some videos on Instagram over the summer, teasing fans about what was to come.

Should be quite a show.

Yes, “American Horror Story: Freak Show” has some great actors, some incredible real life “freaks” and a ton of buzz behind it… But it also has a murderous clown named Twisty who will haunt our nightmares forever.

So how do real life circus clowns feel about “Freak Show” – and Twisty in particular? After the season premiere, we talked to on-the-road Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey clown LaRena Iocco to find out how close the “Freak Show” experience is to IRL:

MTV News: To start off, how close was “Freak Show” to what happens in a circus? Close at all?

LaRena Iocco: In some respects, you could say the show was very close, in that the circus is a very tight knit family/community. We all look out for each other, and stick up for each other even though we come from different backgrounds and countries. Circus life is something that I think no “normal” person can really understand, so we develop a found family within the circus who truly understand what our life is like.

MTV: Yeah, but come on, what about the murder clown.

Iocco: As a professional clown I have to be a little upset by anything that further perpetuates the fear of clowns. Obviously, as a clown I don’t understand this fear that society seems to have of clowns in general.

If you put someone in bloody make up and give them a knife, of course they’re going to be terrifying looking, but I don’t see how anyone can look ...

Soulja Boy and his longtime girlfriend, Nia Riley, reportedly suffered a scare this week when Riley and her young daughter were involved in a car accident.

“My girlfriend @niariley was in a car accident and the car flipped over and our daughter was in the car,” the rapper wrote on Instagram on Wednesday (October 8). “Need your prayers. Life is short and you never know what could happen I love them and don’t know what I would do if something happened to them. God first.”

E! News contacted a rep for Riley — who is the daughter of veteran music producer Teddy Riley and one of the stars on VH1′s “Love & Hip-Hop Hollywood” — who said that Nia and her daughter were doing better.

“Thank you for your concern,” the rep said in a statement. “Both Nia and Kamryn are ok and are now home with Soulja Boy.”

New episodes of “Love & Hip-Hop Hollywood” air on Mondays at 8 p.m. on VH1.

Rick Ross has long made his hometown pride well-known, and now he’s ready to take things to a new level: As part owner of the Miami Dolphins.

“I went and sat down with the Miami Dolphins, we discussed a few things,” the rapper told Angie Martinez on Power 105.1. “You know, I’ve been interested in trying to buy a small percentage of the Dolphins for some time. They finally invited me into the office. I sat with some people. It was a real positive conversation.”

He did make one mistake during the meeting, though.

“When we left, they offered me to walk out through the field,” he said. “It was sprayed for the game the following day. So I walked out on the field, I didn’t know they just sprayed, I was a little excited, and I just dragged my foot through it.”

“Don’t hold that against me, baby!”

If things were to pan out for Rozay, he’d be the newest addition to an already notable lineup of celebs — including Fergie, Marc Anthony, Gloria Estefan and Venus and Serena Williams — who own part of the team.

“I put it on the table, and it was a few things they wanted to ask and discuss, so on and so forth, but it was a positive situation,” he said.

A few years back, Ross documented his trip to a Fins game — which brought him onto the field and lead to meeting legendary quarterback Dan Marino and Wayne Huizenga, who owns 5% ...
