Pearl Jam’s ‘Let It Go’ Cover Is Weird But We Love It

by 13 hours ago

Well, it looks like Pearl Jam have joined the already well-populated ranks of those people covering songs from “Frozen.” At a concert in Italy on Friday night, during their song “Daughter” they launched into an abridged version of “Let It Go.”

Though it’s an unlikely combination, Eddie Vedder totally pulls it off.

The barriers between pop and rock certainly seem to be breaking down—recently Bruce Springsteen covered Lorde’s breakout hit “Royals.” Long live poptimism!

Kristin Chenoweth And Lea Michele Team Up For An Epic ‘Wicked’ Duet

by 10 mins ago

On Saturday night (June 21), living Broadway legend and font of ever-flowing perkiness Kristin Chenoweth was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame, along with Pink Martini and The Go-Go’s. After performing “I Could Have Danced All Night” from “My Fair Lady” and “Popular” from “Wicked” — Chenoweth originated the role of Glinda on Broadway, FYI — the honoree was joined onstage by “Glee” star Lea Michele to duet another selection from the “Wizard Of Oz”-inspired musical, “For Good.”

Before they began to sing, Michele recounted what an inspirational figure Chenoweth has been to her, not to mention what a joy she was to work with on “Glee.” The “Cannonball” singer also shared a story about how Chenoweth comforted her following the passing of her late boyfriend, Cory Monteith: “Last summer, I got an email from Kristin, and she said that ‘Music will heal everything.’ And at the time, I really didn’t quite get how that could be possible, but it really did. And so, a year later, to be here on this stage singing with her is such a blessing and such an honor.”

And you thought you were gonna get through Sunday without shedding a single tear, didn’t you?

Here’s Why Ariana Grande’s Been So Obsessed With Space Stuff

by 10 hours ago

Remember that full-on “Barbarella” blackout Ariana Grande had last week on Instagram, posting photo after photo of Jane Fonda in the campy sci-fi classic, along with some visuals of a few more retro, space-age vixens? After much online speculation that the pics had something to do with her next music video, the “Problem” singer confirmed the news on Saturday (June 21) in a series of tweets.

Not only that, the 20-year-old artist revealed that the single is titled “Break Free” and features Zedd, the EDM prodigy and MTV Artist To Watch alum whose production on tracks like “Clarity,” “Stay The Night,” and “Find You” has made him an all-but-inescapable presence on pop radio.

With their powers combined, “Break Free” is probably going to be huge — like, “Blurred Lines” turkey on “Get Lucky” bread slathered in spicy “Someone Like You” mayo huge. Are we ready? I think not.

First, Ariana posted this Photoshopped, turquoise-haired selfie, along with a string of emojis that roughly translates to “Hey girl, from space.”

After a fan said she looked like a “galactic space princess,” Ari hinted there’d be “more where that came from soon,” along with the hashtag #breakfree.

Wait, so what is “#breakfree”? Ariana’s next tweet confirmed that it’s the name of her new single featuring Zedd.

Oh my god, when are we getting it?! Oh, “sooner than u think.” Infinite lineface, Ms. Grande. :I

Well, if ...

Fans Are Loving Ed Sheeran’s ‘I’m A Mess’ … Because We’ve All Been There

by 14 mins ago

Today, MTV premiered its fourth and final track from Ed Sheeran‘s new album X “I’m A Mess” and it’s another lovelorn song. While lost love might be a common theme for the young singer, this time, he’s the one that messed up, and of course the Sheerios are loving it.

A lot of Ed’s songs take someone else to task for hurting him but this one seems more self-reflective and self-critical. “And oh, I’ve only caused you pain,” goes part of a verse, and the chorus includes the halting thought: “Easy baby, maybe I’m a liar.” Usually, Ed is putting women on blast for breaking his heart, but here, he opens up and admits his own mistakes, a feeling that his fans are easily connecting with.

But there’s a few odd lines, like “put your faith in my stomach” that have fans scratching their heads.

Mostly, everyone is just ready to commiserate with Sheeran—we’re all a gigantic mess sometimes.

He also touches on going through the motions in a relationship, and even though it’s not working, Sheeran still hopes to make love last.

Some fans have found their new favorite in the song.

“’I’m a Mess’ was definitely written at my lowest point,” Sheeran said in an interview, but the song isn’t all depressing thoughts.

There’s memories of walking home together and the final, rousing refrain proves that despite everything, he still believes in love. “And for how ...

‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’: The Early Reviews Are In!

by 47 mins ago

While tapping our toes in anticipation until Michael Bay’s fourth Transformers film, “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” hits theaters on June 27, we’ve been satiating our Dinobot-driven curiosity with hints from the film’s producer and secrets gleaned from our set visit – and now, on the heels of the film’s Hong Kong world premiere, the first reviews are out.

So what are critics saying about Mark Wahlberg’s turn as a mechanic who discovers a dormant Optimus Prime and unwittingly sets off a string of Michael Bay-directed action?

The Machines Trump the Men

“…it’s the robots — endowed here with character-rich physicality and almost human-scaled facial features — who give the film its emotional heft. Optimus Prime’s charismatic leadership of his team, as well as his unwavering compassion for the humans, again makes him the movie’s moral anchor. Drift, with his samurai getup and Watanabe’s dignified line readings, strikes a neat balance with Goodman’s cigar-chewing, wisecracking Hound. Still, the character most likely to be beloved by audiences, especially tykes, remains Bumblebee, whose mischievous personality brings much-needed comic relief.”
- Maggie Lee, Variety

Stanley Tucci Shines

“Being the only character whose personality arc actually changes within the film, Tucci is given a wealth of opportunities to ham it up, just like John Turturro, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand have done before; his clownish antics while racing for survival in a Hong Kong tenement block are probably the highlights of the film.”

24-Year-Old Man Dies At Electric Daisy Carnival

by 5 mins ago

A California man died early Saturday morning after attending Electric Daisy Carnival.

24-year-old Montgomery Tsang of San Leandro, California, collapsed in the Las Vegas Motor Speedway parking lot and was taken to University Medical Center where he died shortly after, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

“We are deeply saddened by this news, and hope that everyone will join us in keeping his family and friends in their thoughts during this very difficult time,” Insomniac spokeswoman Jennifer Forkish saud in a statement. “Dance music fans pride themselves in being part of a loving community and, as we get ready to start the second night of the show, we ask everyone to help us keep this event safe.”

In 2012 there were two deaths at the festival, and it was moved out of Los Angeles in 2010 when a 15-year-old girl died. Local authorities reportedly responded to 249 minor medical calls during the festival this year, along with five hospitalizations.

When two died at New York’s EDM music festival Electric Zoo last year, the organizers canceled the event and majorly revised their policies, but there are currently no plans to cancel EDC.

The Cast and Plot of the Wachowskis’ ‘Sense8′ Is Filled With Awesome

by 5 mins ago

We’re still pouting over having to wait an extra seven months for a new film from Larry and Lana Wachowski, but the casting news regarding their upcoming 10-episode sci-fi Netflix series “Sense8″ is a pretty strong balm for our “Jupiter Ascending”-heavy hearts.

Deadline has the exclusive on the cast list (14 members strong!) and first detailed description of the siblings’ “global tale,” set to stream its awesome into your eyeballs late 2014 or early 2015.

The plot breakdown, care of co-showrunner J. Michael Straczynski, sounds pretty freakin’ righteous (and a bit reminiscent of the Wachowskis’ film “Cloud Atlas” – which we still consider criminally underrated). “The series follows eight characters around the world who, in the aftermath of a tragic death, find themselves linked to each other mentally and emotionally,” Straczynski told Deadline.

“They can not only see and talk to each other as though they were in the same place, they have access to each other’s deepest secrets. Not only must they figure out what happened and why and what it means for the future of humanity, they must do so hunted by an organization out to capture, kill or vivisect them.”

The cast will include “Lost” alum Naveen Andrews (Sayid survival skills, represent!) and Daryl Hannah (girl best bring her Elle Driver A-game), along with Brian J. Smith, Tuppence Middleton, Aml Ameen, Freema Agyeman, Tena Desae, Doona Bae, Max Riemelt, Alfonso Herrera, Erendira Ibarra, Jamie Clayton, Miguel Silvestre and Terrence Mann.

North West’s Birthday Party Was Better Than Any Of Yours Will Ever Be

by 11 mins ago

It may be hard to believe that North West is already one year old, but it’s not surprising at all that Kim and Kanye threw a huge bash for their daughter. The party was held at Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick’s Calabasas mansion yesterday afternoon.

Dubbing the event “Kidchella,” the party was modeled after the music festival Coachella, and included a Ferris Wheel, and mini teepees that offered activities like hair-braiding and face-painting. It was at Kidchella that Khloe’s Instagrammed herself wearing a Native American headdress yesterday, something that raised a few eyebrows.

North’s birthday was actually on June 15, but since that fell on Father’s Day this year it, makes sense that the newlywed couple postponed her party. Kim Instagrammed some photos of the event, including one of a baby partygoer wearing a custom Yeezus shirt and a shot of the ferris wheel.

There was even a karaoke station set up like a stage that Kendall and Kylie made good use of, lip syncing to Rihanna’s “I Found Love in a Hopeless Place” among others.

She might not remember it, but Nori just had one of the best first birthday parties in the world.

Will Bill And Sookie End Up Together? ‘True Blood’ Stars Discuss

by 11 mins ago

This Sunday, “True Blood” fans will begin their final goodbye to the sexy, violent show after seven seasons. That means we’ll have no more Bill and Sookie love after this summer, which also means no more of Bill’s infamously hilarious way of pronouncing “Sookie.”

But MTV News was able to catch up with Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin at the premiere, and we asked them how their characters would be going out.

“I think that by the end, regardless of who she ends up with, she has accepted who she is and what she wants to be, in whatever form that ends up being,” Paquin said. “It’s not actually specifically [about] who she ends up with. I think that’s ultimately where we kind of leave her.”

To start the season, Sookie is with Alcide the hunky werewolf, though both Eric and Bill are almost certainly still in the mix.

Speaking of Bill, he ended last season losing all the superpowers he get when he drank Warlow’s blood. So that means no more visions, and no more super-duper strength, which has to be hard for anyone to reconcile, much less a centuries-old vampire. How’s he dealing with all that?

“He is rethinking everything that has happened to him over these years, since he came to Bon Temps,” Moyer said. “I think he feels like he’s got some wrongs to right, and some mistakes that he made need to be corrected.”

Is one of those mistakes losing Sookie? Will the two live happily ever after, or will ...

A Love Letter To Our Favorite ‘Game Of Thrones’ Animals In 6 GIFs

6 ‘Game Of Thrones’ Animals We Can’t Wait To See Next Year
The 6 Best Animals From ‘Game Of Thrones’
Our 6 Most Favorite ‘Game Of Thrones’ Animals

With the fourth season of “Game of Thrones” officially complete, much has been made of the human characters we won’t be seeing until next year. But while we were saying goodbye to the Lannisters, the Starks, the Tyrells, and so on, some very important personalities got totally overlooked: the furry, flying, four-legged ones.

It’s an awful oversight, and it just won’t do. So today, let’s put aside the people of Westeros and pay homage to six terrific “Game of Thrones” characters from the animal kingdom. Who are on our list of favorites?

1. Ghost, the direwolf

Jon Snow’s faithful, furry friend has been instrumental in keeping our favorite bastard safe from harm. Plus, he’s saved Samwell Tarly’s life, like, at least three times.

2. Drogon, the dragon

Possibly because he’s trying to compensate for being apparently named after drunk Adam Sandler trying to pronounce the word “dragon,” Drogon is the fiercest, fieriest, all-around-bestest winged beastie in Westeros. Four goats for you, Drogon the dragon! You go, Drogon the dragon!

3. Silver, the horse

We don’t know a whole lot about the history or inner life of Daenerys Targaryen’s beautiful silver mare, but we do know that without her, the most epic whip drop in the history of the seven kingdoms wouldn’t have been anywhere near as cool.

4. Three-Eyed Raven, the three-eyed raven
