Tomorrow is Spirit Day, which means millions of people will wear purple to “stand against bullying and to show their support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth.” But–real talk–not all of us have a closet brimming with purple clothing. If you want to still show your support without having to change up your wardrobe, I found the perfect solution–dying your hair! It’s a badass (and temporary) way to stand up for LGBT youth, and I even broke it down into seven easy-to-follow steps below. Check it out, and don’t forget to watch MTV and Logo’s documentary on transgender youths “Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word” on October 17 at 7 p.m. EST!

STEP 5: BEGIN TO SPRAY FROM ROOT TO TIP

With less than a month left until Big K.R.I.T. drops his sophomore album, Cadillactica, it’s time to pay attention. A good place to start: His new “Pay Attention” video, featuring Rico Love.

The minimalist visual finds Krizzle and Rico each matched with a lovely lady — but they’re not fully engaged. As the hook laments: “I should be paying more attention to you.”

In September, K.R.I.T. told MTV News that this album would be different for him, particularly from a production standpoint.

“I only used three samples on the entire album, which is amazing for me, because people know me to sample a lot,” he said while on the Bet Hip-Hop Awards carpet. “For me, it was trying to make the kind of music that sounds like a sample, feels like a sample, had the same amount of grit and soul as a sample — [although] it wasn’t.”

This is the first official single off of the Mississippi rapper’s upcoming Def Jam release, which drops November 11. He also put out the eponymous single this week, which you can listen to below.

There’s a whole lot of nastiness brewing in Charming, California. The members of SAMCRO have forged new alliances and business opportunities, while getting their hands around the neck of one of their many Judases. Jax Teller’s mother Gemma, meanwhile, is on the edge of a nervous breakdown over what she did to Jax’s wife so many weeks ago. All the while, new enemies and old friends look ready to take their shot at bringing the Sons to justice.

And then there’s Lea Michele.

With so much up in the air, here’s what we’re wondering about this week’s “Sons of Anarchy,” called “Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em.”

1. Will Juice Die Next Week?

FX

I mean, how does he not die next week? After spending the entire season on the run from the club and the law, Juice is finally in SAMCRO’s clutches. What can he possibly do to save himself? Tell Jax the truth about what Gemma did to Tara? Won’t that just send Jax into overdrive?

Then again, this is “Sons of Anarchy,” a show that’s all about curveballs. And this is Juice we’re talking about, a man who has proven to have at least as many lives as a cat. Perhaps there’s still hope — but there isn’t much.

2. Is Nero About To Learn The Truth About Tara?

FX

Gemma looks ready to spill the beans about killing Tara, now that she knows SAMCRO has Juice. She ends the episode with her face buried ...

“This is what dreams are made of,” is probably your first reaction to seeing Hood By Air and Off-White‘s bed set, newly available at VFiles. Two of streetwear’s most gifted designers teamed up on a capsule collection for VFiles that you can sleep in—and you’re never going to want to change come laundry day. It’s all part of a collaboration to coincide with the release of NYC photographer Kevin Amato‘s first book, called, of course, Cozy.

HBA and Off-White took that title and ran with it, creating a massive 90″ x 90″ duvet and pillow set (for your reference, a California king-size bed is 72″ x 84″). And HBA’s Shayne Oliver and Off-White’s Virgil Abloh are fitting designers to tackle a capsule collection inspired by Amato’s work, since he too is known for blurring the lines between streetwear and art.

VFiles

As for the graphic HBA chose—a man sitting in the dark in bed, illuminated by his computer screen—Amato has an eloquent explanation for it.

He believes that social media platforms are the new museums and fashion and retail are “the new currency.” “Young kids can’t relate to the formal institutionalized museums. They relate more to Tumblr and Instagram for art references and inspiration,” he says. “The platform has evolved, which inspired the capsule. A way to introduce fine art in an accessible and culturally relevant way to a whole new generation. A generation that absorbs information via blue glowing ...

The rumors of Channing Tatum playing mutant Gambit in an “X-Men” movie look more and more like they’ll be coming to fruition on a big screen near you sometime in the not-so-distant future. And the actor won’t just be playing the card-slinging, sweet-talking character, he’ll be delivering what sounds like a unique origin story.

MTV News caught up with Tatum ahead of the release of the animated “Book of Life,” and couldn’t help but get an update on his mutant passion project.

Tatum said he was talking with producers about what the story would be and looking for the right writer for the script.

“I don’t want to give too much away because we don’t know that much right now other than who Gambit is,” he said. “We really do want to try our hardest to give something fresh. We’re obviously going to go to the saving the world superhero movies eventually, but not for the first one.”

Find out more about Tatum’s plans for Gambit in the clip above.

Police have finally charged the teenagers who pulled the fake ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on an autistic classmate. Cuyahoga County prosecutors in Ohio filed complaints on Tuesday against five teens, aged 14 to 16, who will face the juvenile equivalent of disorderly conduct charges, with three also facing misdemeanor assault charges.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, all the teens accused of dumping a mix of urine, tobacco, spit and water on a 15-year-old classmate are part of a crew of friends who often pull “sophomoric” and “distasteful” pranks.

“However, this incident is clearly different. It crossed a moral and legal line, and even the five alleged perpetrators understand that and have expressed regret,” said Assistant County Prosecutor Duane Deskins. The family of the special needs student who was humiliated in the August 18 incident was consulted on the charges, which Deskins said strike a balance between punishment and rehabilitation.

The case got national attention and elicited a $10,000 bounty from Cleveland native and comedian Drew Carey, who offered the reward to a fund run by the Bay Village police department. It also spawned an online petition that got more than 306,000 signatures urging Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty to prosecute the students. The targeted student’s parents reported the incident on September 3 after a video was uploaded to YouTube showing their son standing in front of a garage while being doused with the putrid contents of the bucket.

A lawyer for one of the students said last month ...

Your “one love” alter-ego Snoop Lion would not approve, Snoop Dogg.

The hip-hop veteran’s made-up beef, which all started with a meme of Iggy Azalea on Snoop Dogg’s Instagram, has escalated into something more serious. Snoop is now threatening physical action.

Related: Read About The Origins Of Iggy And Snoop’s Fight.

While TMZ claimed Iggy was “fuming mad” at his unflattering photo captioned “Iggy Azalea no makeup,” the Australian rapper refuted it. But now, Snoop is going full force into the fight, saying he’ll “check” her and calling her a “bitch” and a “c—.”

“Say, bitch, you’re f–king with the wrong n—a, and your n—a better check you before I do,” he says in the video posted early Wednesday morning (October 15). “You funky bitch. Yeah, you. F–king c—.” He laughs evilly at the end.

Snoop also dons whiteface and dresses up as his “Todd” character, playing Dr. Dre’s “Bitches Ain’t Sh–,” a song he featured on in 1992.

It continues:

Under a picture of Nicki Minaj, he writes, “Where is Iggy ? Nowhere insight. @realnickiminaj_ Fuc the fake n non writers yeah that means u again biitch !! Go nikki go Hoe Iggy hoe !! Sweet dreams c—.”

And there’s another video (from WorldStar), which I’m not going to post here, but you can imagine from the caption:

“One more. Iggy. Suckn dick. Like the punk bitch she is now post some more shit hoe !! I’m jus Getn started on ya fake wanna b black bitch #wrongnigga2fucwit n yo n—a ...

Bea Miller kicks off her leg of the Demi Lovato World Tour, which just kicked off in Chicago. And while Bea’s obviously looking forward to opening for the “Really Don’t Care” singer, she might be even more excited that one of her besties is joining her on the road.

“My friend Maddie is going to be coming with me because it’s Demi’s little sister and she’s like one of my best friends, so I’m not going to be, like, alone. And they always say being a musician is really lonely because you never — when you’re on tour and stuff — you don’t normally have people with you. But Maddie is going to come, so I’m going to have my friend with me, which is really fun,” the “Young Blood” singer told MTV News. “I don’t really ever get to see her that much anymore anyway because I’m always, like, traveling now, and I’m always busy doing stuff. So it’s nice that while I’m busy I get to hang out with her, because that never happens.”
