Chris Brown is just days away from the release of his new album X and today he’s dropped a video for the song “Don’t Be Gone Too Long” featuring a very special guest star—Ariana Grande!

The two singers appear as medieval, star-crossed lovers in the moody, dark video that was directed by Brown himself.

This is the second high-profile collaboration Brown has released this week, following the Kendrick Lamar-featuring “Autumn Leaves” that dropped on Wednesday. Brown is on a positive streak leading up to the album release, he recently spoke with MTV News about how he’s squashed his beef with Drake, and offered advice to Ray Rice on how to cope with the crisis Rice is currently facing.

But back to the fantasy at hand, Ariana and Chris definitely take things to a more romantic, longing level in the new visuals. Brown tweeted that he wanted to do something different for this clip and it seems like he succeeded.

Keanu Reeves is about to kick some ass on the big screen. In a new trailer for “John Wick” the actor is guns blazing and dead-set on revenge after a group of thugs jack his badass Mustang and kill his baby Beagle. The former hit-man gets back in business to avenge the life he lost to bunch of ruthless crime bosses.

Watch the bullets fly:

MTV News caught up with Keanu last year on the set of “John Wick” and spoke with the action star about performing his own stunts and the massive killing spree that ensues during the flick.

Producer Basil Iwanyk explains the death toll, saying, “We were trying to justify how many people it’s okay to kill after a dog is killed and a home is invaded and we got to 95.”

“You can only push a man so far,” Reeves chimes in.

Watch for more details on the actors stunt work (and even witness MTV News’ Josh Hortowitz throw a knock-out punch at Reeves… seriously):

Okay, so Miley Cyrus has been wow-ing us lately with her forays into the art and fashion world, but this is brand new music and it sounds pretty incredible. Her last album Bangerz was an eclectic smash of pop, country and hip-hop influences, but this song is straight-up classic rock.

She put the song out directly to her Soundcloud and tweeted the link, without any fanfare or talk of official release.

It’s a cover of a song written by Anne Bredon that Led Zeppelin made popular called “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You.” Miley performs it complete with the huge, riff-heavy breaks and vocal dramatics that made the original stunning.

Joan Baez also helped popularize the song, but Miley’s version clearly follows Robert Plant and Zeppelin’s take on the track. As a slight update, Miley changed her title to “Baby I’m Gonna Leave You.”

She also previously uploaded the cover art for the track to her Instagram at the beginning of the month.

Listen to the psychedelic, pure rock classic below. It just might change the way you think about Miley.

One of the greatest parts of New York Fashion Week, IMHO, is watching celebs as they traipse from show to show and party to party in different outfits. They wear more outfits in a week than I wear in the course of the year and look cool, calm, and collected the entire time. If you’ve been keeping up with us, you’re well aware that Nicki Minaj has been ruling NYFW–here’s a look at her fashionable seven days.

To kick thangs off, Nicki attended the Harper’s Bazaar Icon Party–the same one Lady Gaga performed at–in a burgundy Marc Jacobs dress.

The following day, she attended the Alexander Wang show in a two-tone top and skirt. She held an impromptu photoshoot on the inside of her car and shared the results on Instagram. She also, as we all know by now, taught models from the Wang show “Anaconda” choreography which, um, the models didn’t exactly take to naturally.

On Sunday, Nicki hung out with Donatella Versace and Naomi Campbell in a Versus Versace dress. OK, she was actually doing more than “hanging”–she was at the show and after-party, but because I want these three women to be best friends who watch movies together, I’ll bill them as “hanging” until the end of ...

Earlier this week, Mel Brooks decided to play a little joke on Hollywood, as an infamous comic obviously should.

On Monday, (September 8) Brooks officially participated in a handprint and footprint ceremony outside of the historic Grauman Chinese Theatre, but a closer look at his commemorative handprints revealed something fishy about the prints.

If you count them all up, there’s eleven fingers!

Brooks attached a prosthetic finger to one of his hands to achieve the six-finger handprint for the ceremony, which was held to honor the 40th anniversary of his film “Young Frankenstein.”

Later, in an appearance on Conan, Brooks talked about the prank.

“I wanted to do something just a little different, I didn’t know what,” he said. “So I got another finger. Somebody’s gonna come in from Des Moines, Iowa and say, ‘Mother… Does Mel Brooks have six fingers?’”

That’s one way to go down in history.

In the course of our lives, all of us have probably encountered beatboxing. You know, when enterprising humans decide that they can make better drum sounds with their mouths than literally any other possible way.

Generally, it’s a pretty annoying practice, but occasionally, ever once in a great while, it can be cool. Like say, when a baby totally spontaneously tops off a dude’s beatboxing with a final, perfect touch.

Hey, it’s Friday night and this is the perfect let-loose, cute moment to top off your week. Plus it’s a Vine so you can play it on loop for dramatic effect if you want. TGIF!

Today Disney announced they’re making all of our “Frozen” dreams come true! An icy attraction is going to be replacing Maelstrom in the Norway Pavilion section of Epcot, and Disney reps guarantee that it will “immerse [guests] in many of their favorite moments and music from the film.”

It will also feature a “royal greeting location” where families can formally shake hands with princesses Elsa and Anna.

Although exact details about the attraction are yet to be announced, we can’t help but let our imaginations run wild about what’s to come. Will we see…

A Caribou-Driven Sleigh Ride?


Count me in!

An Ice Castle?


The Magic Kingdom has a castle. Epcot should too.

The Best Gift Shop Ever?


Hipster sweaters for EVERYBODY!

An Ice-Skating Rink?


Because watching Mom and Dad on ice skates is the best thing ever.

Or Maybe Some Massive Snowball-Fight Grounds?


Floridians can dream big, too.

I’m hedging my bets on a really frightening ice-storm frozen roller coaster that’ll send chills down our spines. What do you think Disney has in store?

Before Beyonce killed in onstage during her On The Run tour performance in Paris (with surprise guest Nicki Minaj!), she decided to do a little shopping at Topshop before the show. Pretty normal, right? She’s just like us! Well… not exactly.

Bey was vacationing in the French Riveria, and she decided she didn’t want to go to the nearest location, but instead to the flagship all the way in London. So, what’s the quickest way to get there? By private jet, duh.

She straight-up walked into their Oxford Circus store all NBD (that’s the UK equivalent to Times Square, people), while the commoners—very appropriately—freaked out. Hours later, she was back at the airport to meet up with Jay in Paris, and honestly, we gotta give it up for her serious brand dedication. (Also, for living out every woman’s dream.) So c’mon, Bey! Post those ensembles to Instagram ASAP so we can cop ’em too.
