By now you’ve probably watched the Fifty Shades of Grey trailer hundreds of times, but between the handcuffs, whips, and blindfolds you might’ve missed the 2-second cameo of Rita Ora. Around the 1:32 mark, you’ll see our girl sporting a blunt-banged brown bob with smokey eyes and burgundy lips for her role as Mia Grey, Christian Grey’s adopted younger sister. For her ensemble, she went for a strictly black and gold number, which features a patterned top (or dress?) paired with stacked bangles, layered chains and large earrings.

When Rita stopped by MTV earlier this year, she revealed that she went through quite a bit of training to get her look (and accent!) up to par. “I definitely had coaching, acting coaching. I have an American accent in the movie. I’ve got a brown bobbed wig,” she said. “I look really different. It was really nice to get into a whole other world that I wasn’t used to, but it was pretty difficult.” Check out Rita, er, Mia in action below!

Beyond rapping, Lil Wayne has ventured into clothing, accessories, and a number of other business ventures — not to mention a label presidency. And now he’s expanding his empire once again, according to TMZ.

The site reported on Thursday (July 24) that Tunechi is getting ready to launch his own sports management company, and Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo is said to be the first client on the roster. The partnership would mean that the new outfit would be responsible for “everything from branding to marketing and endorsement deals” for Ronaldo in the United States.

Weezy has relationships in the world of sports and is a fan (check out the video above for proof), in addition to a history of success in business, which may help him secure new clients. And he’s really not off to a bad start with Ronaldo, who, according to Forbes, is the world’s second-highest earning athlete, at $80 million last year.

Will Wayne be able to build his brand like Jay Z has done with Roc Nation Sports, having signed superstars like Kevin Durant and Robinson Cano? And is this at all related to a sports management company launched by Cash Money? We already know that they’re working with NFL rookie Mike Evans, who in May told MTV News, “Slim’s my mentor. They’re great people to have in my corner, and I just love them” — speaking about Cash Money CEOs Ronald “Slim” and Bryan “Birdman” Williams.

According to WebMD, it can take months for a newborn baby to see clearly, but in the meantime, we’re sure Jenelle Evans‘ little boy Kaiser can feel the love.

The newest addition to the “Teen Mom 2” family, who was born on June 29, is already making a sizable dent in his baby book. But this morning, Jenelle added the album’s very first family photo that includes her other son, Jace, too, and it’s simply perfect.

@PBAndJenelley_1

“I’m so blessed to have my little family,” Jenelle tweeted with the photo above. “I love them so much and so happy how far I’ve came within these past 2 years.” Leaps and bounds, friend.

Not one for too much gushy sentiment, though, Kaiser proved he has a sense of humor too, and in a photo that finds Jenelle holding him over her shoulder, he seems to be flashing a certain symbol.

@PBAndJenelley_1

“Peace dude,” Jenelle wrote with the snapshot, in which Kaiser flaunts the universal symbol for harmony. Guy would have been a Woodstock cornerstone…

Check out the photos that’ll surely be hanging over the fireplace soon, and be sure to watch “Teen Mom 2″ Wednesday nights at 10/9c!

Can somebody please wipe me down? Nicki Minaj’s new “Anaconda” cover art just turned the temperature up to boiling point.

The Young Money rapper has been teasing a “surprise” for her Barbz on Twitter since yesterday, and I was expecting a new single, or a snippet of a new single, but somehow just the cover art for a new single managed to top an actual song.

Now, this isn’t the first time that we’ve seen Nicki in this rare squat position, but it just seems to get better every time.

That poor g-string never had a chance.

And, if I had to guess, this is going to be one helluva explicit track.

When the sumber-jumbo-mega Hall H panels for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con were announced and Lionsgate — and therefore “Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1″ — was missing from the list, fannish draws dropped everywhere. Pardon us? How would we get our fix of Jennifer Lawrence across like a dozen enormous screens? What would we smugly tweet about, if not the first screening of some super VIP-exclusive-top secret footage or first trailer for the film?

As it turns out, “Mockingjay” will be swooping into this year’s Comic-Con, just not necessarily Hall H. The big ticket is, of course, the unveiling of the trailer, which is happening in partnership with Samsung. On Friday, those attending SDCC will be able to view the brand new trailer on a Galaxy Tab S in the Samsung Capitol Lounge. (If you’re not at Comic-Con, don’t fret — on Saturday and Sunday, select Best Buys will be joining in on the trailer-viewing fun, offering visitors the chance to take a look at the clip on Samsung devices.)

That’s not the only place you’ll catch the Girl On Fire in San Diego. In addition to the inevitable Katnisses running astray on the convention hall floor — arrows and all — Lionsgate will also be offering a special Comic-Con only poster. It’s all stark and Ralph Steadman-looking and we’re kind of really into it:

It was designed by WK Interact, and it makes us shiver and hear that little four-note Mockingjay call. Right? Right. Insert ...

If you’ve seen Drake’s visual opus aka the “Worst Behavior” video, you’re already familiar with Hood By Air. The NYC neo-goth streetwear line, helmed by Shayne Oliver, has built a loyal following in the rap world, for good reason–HBA’s designs are effortlessly striking, political, and fun; Kanye, Rihanna, and A$AP Rocky are also fans. Now it seems like we’ll be seeing a lot more of Hood By Air in the future.

In an interview with Style.com, Oliver revealed that HBA is in major expansion mode. The designer, who’s done a stand-up job of offering a mix of runway and accessibly priced pieces so far, will continue to do just that but on a larger scale. This coming fashion month, HBA will have not one but THREE shows. Translation: there will be three times as much clothing for us to covet–not to mention, two more opportunities for Kanye and A$AP cameos. There will be shows for wardrobe pieces (from here on out marked with tags that read “Hood By Air”) and printed pieces (HBA) in New York City and then an artisanal collection which will be shown in Paris. What exactly does a HBA “artisanal collection” consists of? We can only guess and hope that there will be more stunners like these Timbs decked out with Swarovski crystals and more runway theatrics along the lines of the voguing that took place at Oliver’s fall 2014 show.

The global domination doesn’t stop there. ...

So many emotions, so little time.

In his new video for the standout track “I Am Very Very Lonely,” Chance the Rapper takes us on a short but captivating visual trip.

We can only see the silhouettes of two humans getting up close and personal against the backdrop of vivid colors. And right before the video ends, we get a quick reminder that the 21-year-old is excited to hit the stage for Lollapalooza, in his hometown Chicago, on August 3.

We haven’t had any updates on his next solo project, but Childish Gambino revealed that he and Chance are working on a joint EP, that might actually see the light of day at some point in the future.

If ordinary amusement parks have become too tame for you, and the world’s most extreme waterslide just isn’t extreme enough, perhaps you’d like to consider a trip to the Tivoli Friheden theme park in Denmark, where they are only too delighted to strap you into a harness hanging from a 100-foot metal tower… and then cut the harness off, sending you plummeting toward the earth, where you will fall into a safety net with a renewed appreciation for your brief, precious mortal life and a freshly soiled pair of underpants.

This fearsome apparatus is known as the SCAD Tower, and as you can see in this video of various folks taking the plunge, the actual fall lasts just a couple of seconds. So, y’know, it could be scarier. But it’s still enough time for at least one rider to pass the ultimate free-fall terror test, i.e. screaming, running out of air, and taking a second breath in order to continue screaming before impact, so it couldn’t be much scarier.

Weezer have said their upcoming ninth studio album is a return to their classic sound after a few attempts at going more mainstream with the help of professional songwriters like Dr. Luke and Jermaine Dupri. No kidding, dude.

How do we know this for sure now? Because we watched Rivers Cuomo and the boys play “Back to the Shack” on “The Tonight Show” on Wednesday night and the apologia to the fans they abandoned has exactly the kind of crunch and kick we’ve come to love from the band. We are so psyched now for Everything Will Be Alright In The End it’s not even funny.

Going on a first date is nerve-wracking enough, but toss in the fact that you’re a virgin, and it takes those jitters to a whole other level.

Dominique, the woman behind our favorite new catchphrase, “No ringy, no dingy!” (seriously, can we get some T-shirts made?) went out with a guy named Sain — her first date in years — on tonight’s episode of “Virgin Territory.” Suffice it to say, we were grinning the entire time the two were enjoying their tasty crab legs. You know when a first date is terribly, uncomfortably awkward (read: Kyle and Tabby’s horse-carriage outing)? This was the exact opposite.

While Dom and Sain got off to a rocky start during their first post-club interaction (a few choice yo’ mama jokes and B-words were tossed around), the dinner outing itself went smoothly. When Dominique revealed that she’s waiting until marriage to have sex — even telling Sain, “No ringy, no dingy!” (Dom, you’re our new hero) — Sain replied gentlemanly: “I’m a relationship guy. I personally don’t have no problem waiting.” AWWW!!!

These two will likely be going on a second date, but will the chemistry continue? Cast your vote on whether you think they’ll become a couple in the near future!
