Usher And Nicki Minaj Heat Up The Club In ‘She Came To Give It To You’ Video

by 1 min ago

On Sunday night, Usher and Nicki treated fans to a special live performance of their collab “She Came To Give It To You” at the 2014 VMAs. On Tuesday (August 26), they were at it again, this time with the release of the official video for the single off of Usher’s upcoming album.

As he’s been known to do, Ursh breaks it down in the club for the visuals to his latest, which take place at a dimly lit, packed venue.

Midway through the track, he’s joined by Nicki for her verse, and though there’s no dancing from the Young Money Queen, we do get some classic Nicki faces. Pharrell, who produced the song, is also on hand.

Usher’s new album UR should be out soon.

Miley Defends Her VMA Date After Questions Surface About Homeless Youth

by 1 min ago

Just like at last year’s show, Miley Cyrus was part of one of the most memorable moments at the 2014 VMAs. And this time around, it was for her decision to have Jeese Helt, a homeless 22-year-old whom she had met at the Los Angeles shelter My Friend’s Place, to accept the award for Video of the Year.

“My name is Jesse and I am accepting this award on behalf of the 1.6 million runaways and homeless youth in the United States who are starving, lost and scared for their lives right now,” Helt said, in a moment that seemed to touch everyone at the L.A. Forum and millions tuning in at home. “I know this because I am one of these people.”

But in the days since, Helt has come under scrutiny for his past. It’s one that includes an arrest in 2010 for an attempted break-in at a home in his native Oregon, as well as a warrant that was issued the next year for violating probation, according to the Daily Mail. The New York Daily News also reports that he has violated his probation on multiple occasions in the past.

Miley, though, on Tuesday (August 26), came out once again in support of her friend. She took to Twitter to both come to the defense of Helt — who flew home to Oregon on Monday to see his mother for the first time in three years, ...

If There’s A ‘Full House’ Revival On The Way, It Needs The Olsen Twins

by 10 mins ago

Looks like Uncle Jesse and the “Full House” crew might be getting a reboot!

According to the The Hollywood Reporter, Studio Warner Bros. Television is working on reviving the cult classic show. John Stamos — better known to “Full House” fans as Uncle Jesse, of course — is definitely on board for the revival, along with the show’s executive producer Bob Boyett and the creator of the show Jeff Franklin.

I know what everyone’s thinking, though: What about Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen? Where will the show’s reboot be without Michelle?

Well, there’s no word yet on whether or not the Olsen twins will be returning to the show, which might be a pivotal factor in its success.

For now, we know that Franklin is currently writing new scripts and that Candace Cameron Bure, who played D.J., Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie and Andrea Barber, who played Kimmy, are definitely involved. Bob Saget, who played Danny, and Davie Coulier, who was Joey, are also involved in “some capacity,” according to THR.

There have been rumors of the show getting a sequel of some sort recently, as Jimmy Fallon did a sketch with Danny, Jesse and Joey back in January right before he left his “Late Night” show.

“Full House” ran on ABC from 1987 until 1995, and it remains one of the highest rated shows on Nick at Nite in re-runs. Considering fellow ’90s relic “Boy Meets World” just relaunched ...

I’mma Let You Finish But Weren’t These Technically Blue Ivy’s Second VMAs?

by 9 mins ago

Since Beyonce flawlessly closed out the 2014 VMAs and received the prestigious Michael Jackson Vanguard award and was surprised by her husband Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy onstage, a lot of our attention has been focused on her and her family. But when all three of the Carters are onstage, it becomes apparent who the real star is: Blue Ivy. And yes, MTV along with everyone else was so happy to celebrate Blue’s first-ever VMAs!

But it simply couldn’t go without mentioning that technically — it’s actually her second!

Yes, little Blue was famously the star of another Video Music Awards show back in 2011, when her superstar mom-to-be Bey revealed that she was preggers while onstage mid-performance! So let’s compare the littlest Carter’s two VMA appearances, shall we? Bear with us as we channel some embryonic energies to get a feel for Blue’s in utero moments.

What Blue Wore To The VMAs In 2011…

Sure, for her first VMAs, Blue had to make do with the white button-down shirt and pair of high-waisted black pants that her mom, Beyonce, chose to perform in — but have you ever seen a baby bump look more stylish?

And In 2014!

Blue’s Bonpoint spun gold dress looked great even from the back as she gave her mom a congratulatory pat. And the gold of Blue’s dress and Bey’s ...

Lil’ Kim Gets Explicit With Bananas On Her ‘No Flex Zone’ Remix

by 9 mins ago

Last time we heard from Lil’ Kim, she was dissing Nicki Minaj on a song Nicki had just remixed. On Tuesday (August 26), Kim was back with more new music — again remixing a song Nicki just remixed. No clear disses this time, though.

But there is plenty of boasting and bragging on the “No Flex Zone” remix, whether it’s about her skills on the mic (“Killing these hoes, it’s a genocide”) or her innovation (“I set trends/ Pull up in the 2020 Benz”).

And like in the past, Kim isn’t shy when it comes to sexually explicit lyrics: “I be on that new sh–, bananas in my asshole/ My man be on that zoo sh–, wanna f–k me ’til my eyes roll.”

So, yeah. That’s the new sh–, FYI.

Her new mixtape, Hardcore 2k14, is due out September 11.

‘The Flash’: Every Easter Egg In The New Poster

by 19 mins ago

As anticipation for The CW’s latest comic book adaptation series, “The Flash,” continues to ramp itself up, the network has decided to release a new teaser poster to throw those DC Universe geeks into hyperdrive and über-speculation.

Because — hoo boy — are there a heck of a lot of easter eggs in this thing.

Being that we are the servicey sort, we’ve decided to break ‘em all down for you, because what’s more fun than pointing out tiny, minute details that potentially speak to a fascinating (and interconnected!) new series and season ahead? Nothing. Absolutely nothing at all.

First up, let’s take a look at the poster all together now, shall we?

The CW Network

Now here’s where the fun begins.

First off, the Queen Consolidated building which we’ve already seen before (on “Arrow,” duh), with Star Labs — the not-blown-up iteration — diagonally below it.

As you continue to move down the poster there’s a wee Big Belly Burger, which has tons of meaning and significance to the universe. And perhaps most menacing of all is the graffiti on the next corner: GRODD LIVES, perhaps? Oh my gorilla goodness.

On the left side there’s a bit of graffiti on the wall we cannot make out (please send your suggestions and ideas straight to the comments, please!).

Another exciting Big Bad tease? That Amertek building sign. Could we perhaps see a John Henry Irons/Steel reboot in the works with that? And would that then mean we’d see a tie to ...

This U.K. Rapper Is The Prime Suspect In The Beheading Of Journalist James Foley

by 9 mins ago

On August 19, a gruesome video uploaded to YouTube captured the beginning of James Foley’s decapitation and ultimate death, with the Islamic State of Iraq, or ISIS, claiming responsibility. The 40-year-old American freelance journalist was kidnapped in late 2012 while covering the civil war in Syria, and his death drew international rebuke. Now, the prime suspect in Foley’s beheading is said to be a former rapper from the U.K., according to according to The Sunday Times of London.

The British counter-intelligence and security agency MI5 suspects that Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, who released rap videos under the name L. Jinny, was the masked man depicted in that video. The 23-year-old (or 24-year-old — reports vary) reportedly posted a picture of himself holding a severed head on his now-suspended Twitter account, and MI5 used voice recognition technology to make the match.

An aspiring rapper, Abdel Bary had uploaded some videos to YouTube, and even had his songs played on BBC radio a few times, before relocating to Syria in 2013.

The lone video on his “LJinnyVEVO” page is for a song called “Overdose.” “I’m still the same Jinny,” he raps, “with a bit of rage in me.”

The visuals flash between a couple of angles, all shot on the same location, as the MC delivers cliches familiar to an aspiring rapper: tales of no one believing in him, and his eagerness to prove them wrong.

In another video, he’s critical of other rappers and their content, and talks about growing ...

Dreading School? Watch MisterWives’ New Video ASAP

by 56 mins ago

If you’re dreading going back to the hallowed halls of education this fall, take a look at MisterWives’ new boarding school-themed video for “Reflections.” Let’s just say it will give you something to dream about in homeroom.

The video for the jangly, summery tune takes place, ironically, inside what looks to be an extremely strict boarding school, where all the kids — a.k.a. the members of MisterWives — are just itching to bust free. Marching bands charge through the halls, food fights break out, water balloon are tossed, and then it all culminates in one massive jailbreak, in which the kids (led by singer Mandy Lee) tie up their “Breakfast Club”-esque teacher and make a final run for it. The video is, in essence, what could only be described as every kid’s fantasy.

“Reflections” is off of the band’s first EP — which bears the same name — out last January. You can watch the video below or at misterwives.mtv.com.

Brenna Ehrlich is a reporter for MTV News as well as the senior writer/editor for the O Music Awards. In the past, she served as associate editor at Mashable, penned a netiquette column for CNN and co-authored the blog and book "Stuff Hipsters Hate."

Man Sets Himself On Fire Doing The Ice Bucket Challenge, Defying Science

by 2 mins ago

Oh, America: you infinitely complex and varied beast full of brilliants and personified bratwursts aplenty. Like this man and his Ice Bucket Challenge, which somehow resulted in him getting set on fire (don’t worry, he’s fine).

There are so many things wrong with this. Which should go without saying but just in case, let’s list ‘em! (Everybody likes lists, after all, right?):

- He’s got a confederate flag
- …AND a swingin’ American flag vest
- He took a swig of booze and then SPIT IT OUT
- Right before he lit his head on FIRE
- …On PURPOSE
- He calls himself a rebel
- He thinks all of this is HILARIOUS
- And just in case you missed it, let us again call attention to the CONFEDERATE FLAG.

Needless to say we don’t condone anything this man does, says, or holds in this video.

Too much exuberance for one person. Follow her on Twitter @alicialutes.
