by 1 min ago

With additional reporting by Janelle Myers

Appendicitis No More
5 Seconds of Summer‘s Ashton Irwin is now out of the hospital after getting surgery for his appendicitis and is recovering at home.

So far, he’s taken his little brother and sister to the café:

His bandmate Callum tweeted this on Sunday:

So Ashton replied:

He also seems to be stuck in 1997:

Looks like he recovered quickly!

Did They Bring The Pants?
I’d like to think that fate had a hand in what happened that Saturday when Blake Lively reunited with Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn to watch their “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” co-star America Ferrera perform at her Off-Broadway show “Lips Together, Teeth Apart.”

I Would Have Crowned Him Lord Too
Jason Momoa’s “Game Of Thrones” audition tape surfaced and apparently, he danced. It wasn’t the hokey pokey that scored him the role as the Dothraki lord, but an intense dance called the haka that’s native to his Hawaiian roots.

Are you a “Star Wars” fanatic? Brace yourselves, because there’s going to be a channel called Sky Star Wars HD that will play all of the films in the series 24/7 from December 1 to 14. Bad news: you need to be a Sky subscriber in Germany and Austria.

Nicholas Hoult Explains Why ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Is Absolutely ‘Insane’

by 20 mins ago

With Reporting by Josh Horowitz

Nicholas Hoult knows a thing or two about post-apocalyptic landscapes. He’s the star of “Young Ones,” a new movie in theaters now about a young man who lives in a near-future world where water is hard to come by, thanks to global warming. He also starred as Beast in “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” working alongside fellow mutants to stop a horrible future from ever coming to pass.

But Holt’s craziest, most insane apocalyptic experience remains ahead of him in the form of “Mad Max: Fury Road.” The fourth film in the “Mad Max” franchise, directed by the legendary George Miller, “Fury Road” has been described as one gigantic chase sequence featuring Tom Hardy as the titular Max, with other visually dazzling characters played by Charlize Theron, among others.

Hoult is one of those dazzling characters, delivering a virtually unrecognizable turn as a war-mongering maniac named Nux. He’s bald, with jagged lips, and an insatiable thirst for adrenaline written all over his face. Watching Hoult in this new role should certainly be a shock for fans — just as it was for Hoult himself.

“I’ve seen a rough cut,” he told us. “I was just sitting there, going like, ‘Whoa.’”

Hoult confirmed that there’s very little dialogue in “Fury Road,” and that when he sat down to read the script for the first time, it was more like reading “a 300-page comic book, technically.”

“You have the odd word, but the dialogue, it’s strange, the words they used,” ...

This Beyonce Fanfic Is Basically The Fashion Version Of Chuck Norris Facts

by 27 mins ago

If you’re anything like me, you spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about what Beyonce might be doing at any given moment. For example, this weekend, I was walking around the Tribeca neighborhood of NYC (where Bey and Jay reportedly live), and immediately upon exiting the subway and hitting the cobblestone walks, I wondered, “Is this a street Beyonce takes or does she make sure to avoid it because the uneven walk is treacherous when she’s in Louboutins? OR better yet, does she actually just glide over roads and walkways without setting foot on them?”

beyonce-smile

If you, too, are prone to this hyperbolic imagining of Beyonce’s life as Queen of Everything™, then this Twitter just might be for you. Basically, the highly LOL account—run by fashion devotee and funny dude Spencer Niemetz—dispatches fictional updates on Beyonce’s life off stage and out of the public eye. The result is basically the fashion version of those Chuck Norris facts that swept the internet in the late 2000s.

We find out what Beyonce does with Coach handbags:

And how she handles upsetting news:

We find out what’s really in her bag:

We’re let in on her magic beauty secrets:

We’re jealous of this special power the most, TBH:

She sends dressing room pics to friends to help her shop:

And we realize that sometimes Bey just has different shopping woes:

And doing her hair goes differently:

Getting dressed goes a little differently, too:

Sure, she keeps a mirror in her purse, just like ...

‘Walking Dead’: 7 Questions About The Hungriest ‘Strangers’ We’ve Ever Met

by 1 min ago

So, cannibalism. That’s a thing that’s happening.

On the latest episode of “The Walking Dead,” titled “Strangers,” beloved Bob’s foot got caught in the mouths of some ferociously hungry hunters — the leftover Terminus survivors, as led by Gareth. It was a twisted ending for what was an otherwise relatively uplifting hour of “Walking Dead,” complete with the arrival of a brand-new character.

Hours after the episode aired, here’s what we’re still wondering about how it all went down:

1. So, Is That It For Bob?

bob

Not that there isn’t precedent for one-legged survivors thriving in the zombie apocalypse. Yes, Hershel died, but not because of his physical handicap. If Bob returns to the group before losing any other major body parts, he could recover from his situation. But that’s a big if. Gareth and his pals look pretty hungry. Don’t be surprised if they’re all finished eating Bob burgers by the time the next episode airs.

2. Why Was Bob Outside?
That’s a fair question. Why did Bob leave the church? After the group decides to travel on to Washington, Bob steps outside and looks at Father Gabriel’s church with mixed emotions on his face — joy, sorrow, you name it. He goes through the gamut. What’s up with you, Bob? Why are you out and about on your own, being such a weirdo, letting yourself get captured?

3. What’s Father Gabriel’s Deal?

Should You Be Panicking About Ebola? We Asked The Experts

by 23 mins ago

The latest headlines about the Ebola epidemic read like something out of a Hollywood medical thriller. Every day brings more urgent news about new infections, botched protocols, scrambles to disinfect airplanes and, on Friday (October 17) the naming of an “Ebola Czar” and an “Ebola SWAT Team” to handle the U.S. response.

So does that mean now is the time to panic?

Healthcare worker in Dallas decontaminates.

The virus has killed more than 4,000 in West Africa, sickened more than twice that number in the region and led to two domestic deaths to date. Even the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention seems to have made some missteps in the wake of the infection of Dallas nurse Amber Vinson.

Still, in the wake of those headlines, according to experts, you should be keeping calm. And here’s why:

The chances you’ll catch Ebola are pretty slim
“The CDC remains confident that Ebola is not a significant public health threat to the United States,” a spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told MTV News. “It is not transmitted easily, and it does not spread from people who are not ill.”

Dr. Glenn Mathisen, the chief of infectious disease services at the Olive View-UCLA Medical Center concurred, added that burial practices in West Africa — which include handling and washing the body and pouring fluids over it — that ...

Calvin Harris And Ellie Goulding’s ‘Outside’ Is Your New Breakup Jam

by 24 mins ago

While Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris got all smoochy for 2012′s “I Need Your Love,” the duo’s latest collaboration, “Outside,” follows a doomed love.

The track starts slow, Ellie’s airy voice urgently telling the story of being excommunicated from a relationship. “Thought I’d been so strong/ There’s a power in what you do/ Now every other day I’ll be watching you.” Calvin creates a sinister counter-melody with a detached, string-like motif that carries throughout the song.

And it wouldn’t be a dance track without those claps building up to the climax, where the lyrics take a vengeful turn. “I’ll show you what it feels like/ Now I’m on the outside.”

“Outside” is a track off Harris’ Motion album, out October 31, and follows the producer’s first single, “Slow Acid.” The LP also includes features from Gwen Stefani, Tinashe, Haim and Big Sean.

Gwen Stefani’s New Song ‘Baby Don’t Lie’ Takes Us On A Tropical Trip To The Dancefloor

by 8 mins ago

You better be gearing up for a whole lot of Gwen. Gwen Stefani is bursting with new music, and she gave us her new song “Baby Don’t Lie” at midnight.

Written by Stefani, Benny Blanco, OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder and Noel Zancanella, the song is featured on the singer’s upcoming solo record — her first since 2006′s Sweet Escape. The dancey track focuses on a pulsing, tropical beat, a simple melody and Gwen’s vocal inflections. Take a listen!

Along with her own album, Stefani has plans to release a No Doubt album. She’s been in the studio with old pal Pharrell (are we getting another “Hollaback Girl”?) and is featured on Calvin Harris’ Motion.

Artist To Watch: Bow Down To Charli XCX, Your London Queen

by 21 mins ago

To paraphrase a great book I once read: You may think you know Charli XCX, but you have no idea.

Wait, no — that was MTV’s “Diary.”

Whatever, the point still stands. Over the past 18 months, MTV’s latest Artist To Watch has broken into the mainstream thanks to features on Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It” (which she co-wrote), followed by her own solo single on the “Fault In Our Stars” soundtrack, “Boom Clap.”

All three songs landed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, but if they’re all you know about Charli, then you’ve got some stuff to learn.

Who She Is

charli xcxBella Howard

Charli XCX was born Charlotte Emma Aitchison in the U.K. — Stevenage in Hertfordshire, England to be exact.

She’s 22 years old, and she’s technically only released one album so far, 2013′s True Romance. I say “technically” because her “real” first full length, 2008′s 14, was a promotional LP recorded with the support of her parents in order to book gigs, and it was never officially made available anywhere. (Though you can definitely find the gnostic collection if you look in the right places…)

The point is that Charli was already recording albums and playing shows when she was only 14 years old, and what have I even done ...

‘The Walking Dead’: All The Tastiest Moments On ‘Strangers’

by 13 mins ago

Our favorite zombie apocalypse survivors on “The Walking Dead” may have made it out of the cannibal enclave known as “Terminus” alive – and for the first time in nearly a year are all in the same place, at the same time – but that doesn’t mean anywhere is ever, truly safe.

Here’s all the biggest, most jaw-dropping moments on “Strangers:”

What About Bob?

Sonequa Martin-Green as SashaGene Page/AMC

Let’s skip to the end and ask the biggest question(s): what’s up with Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.)? He spends most of the episode happier than a non-central Disney cartoon character, kissing his girlfriend Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) and joking around with everyone.

Then he gets sucked underwater by a bloated, gross walker, and like some sort of reverse baptism ends up dark, disturbed and removed. At first we thought he was bitten – something that was only affirmed when Bob wandered out of an otherwise happy gathering, kissed Sasha goodbye and ended up crying in front of a tree.

Then he gets knocked out, the tree turns out to have another of those strange markings we glimpsed during the post-credits Morgan scene on “No Sanctuary,” and… Well, then something else happens to Bob. We’ll get to that in a moment.

“A Man’s Got To Eat”
BRB, vomiting forever. Gareth (Andrew J. West) and his now comic-book appropriately named group of Hunters are back, and they’ve captured Bob Stookey. Explaining that Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his group took away ...

Pregnant Blake Lively Had A ‘Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants’ Reunion Off-Broadway

by 24 mins ago

Well, well, well: if it isn’t those age-old, movie-made friends turned real-life BIFFLES, “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.” Yes, that’s right: a pregnant Blake Lively, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel took in a little Off-Broadway matinee of “Lips Together, Teeth Apart” to support the fourth leg of this friendship, America Ferrera, in her latest starring role.

It’s sort of beyond adorable that this motley crew of celebrity ladies are still close after all these years. Not only that, but that they hang out and support each other? Even better! Aww shucks, now we kinda-sorta can’t wait for Lively bridal shower, where no doubt the girls will come together to buy a pair of all-fitting baby jeans for the soon-to-be Baby Reynolds so that she might start her own group of girlfriends to help her get by.

Or maybe this is all just part of a plot point for the third “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” film that’s allegedly forthcoming? Ooh! Our girls are all grown up: who says movie magic only stays on the screen, eh?

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