What Did Jenelle Evans’ BF Buy Her For Their Anniversary?

by 06/05/14

Earlier this week, Jenelle Evans and Nathan Griffith celebrated their one-year anniversary as a couple, and lucky for the nine-months pregnant “Teen Mom 2” cast member, there were gifts galore from her pec-tacular beau.

Of course, it’s very romantic to commemorate the passage of time spent dwelling in bliss with your honey-bunny, but really, how can a girl resist jewelry and a killer dress from Michael Kors? Second only to diamonds, Michael Kors is totally a girl’s best friend.

Nathan is apparently quite privy to Jenelle’s tastes, and based on the level of ‘squee’ in her tweets, it’s clear she was thrilled with her presents.

But that’s not all (we wrote, sounding like an infomercial)! Nathan also got his craft-on, going all Bob Villa by creating a picture frame filled with a map of where he and Jenelle first met. Get out, Nathan. Just get out. There is a level of acceptable adorableness and you have surpassed it. Our hearts cannot take cuteness of this size and scope. Did we mention he also took her out to dinner? Because that happened, too.

It remains to be seen what Jenelle’s got up her sleeve for Nathan — she teased on Twitter that he’s about to get a huge surprise. (We can rule out a pregnancy announcement, though.)

Justin Bieber: ‘I Just Need To Step Up And Own What I Did’

by 06/05/14

A day after a second video leaked in which a young Justin Bieber is seen using racist language, the singer issued yet another apology for the clips from his early years in the spotlight.

“Facing my mistakes from years ago has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever dealt with,” Bieber said in a statement obtained by E! News. “But I feel now that I need to take responsibility for those mistakes and not let them linger.”

The apology is the second one in two days Bieber has issued for the video reportedly shot when he was 14, in which he repeatedly uses the N-word and jokes about joining the Ku Klux Klan. Both Bieber and manager Scooter Braun posted responses to that clip on Wednesday, but the latest scandal to envelop the now-20-year-old singer continues to boil.

“I just hope that the next 14-year-old kid who doesn’t understand the power of these words does not make the same mistakes I made years ago,” Bieber said. “At the end of the day I just need to step up and own what I did.” In his first apology, Bieber quoted the lines from a daily devotional from Sarah Young entitled “Jesus Calling.”

‘Game Of Thrones’: 9 New Characters We Want For Season Five

by 06/05/14

There are less than two weeks between now and the “Game of Thrones” season four finale, but it’s never too late to start considering season five.

In fact, it appears that the team behind “Game of Thrones” is already hard at work on the HBO show’s fifth season, based on some casting breakdowns that recently appeared over on WinterIsComing.net. The breakdowns include a bunch of characters who are familiar to readers of “A Feast for Crows” and “A Dance with Dragons,” the fourth and fifth books in George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, and the templates for the upcoming season. But there are some notable omissions as well — characters who aren’t mentioned on the list, but absolutely need to factor into season five.

Here’s our breakdown of nine characters we need to see on “Game of Thrones” season five, plus some casting picks. SPOILERS ahead for those who have not read the books:

Doran Martell
Who Is He?: He is Oberyn’s brother, and the ruling prince of Dorne. It looks like Doran has a major role to play in season five, based on the leaked casting breakdowns, not to mention that whole Red Viper debacle. Doran suffers from a bad case of gout, leaving him in a wheelchair and reluctant to take face-to-face meetings with just about anyone outside of his inner circle. His stance on the Lannisters seems soft on the surface, but dig deeper and you’ll find a soul as cold and calculating as Oberyn ...

Exclusive Pics: Get The First Look At MKTO On Nickelodeon’s ‘The Thundermans’

by 06/05/14

MKTO are returning to Nickelodeon!

Tony Oller and Malcolm Kelly met in 2010 while filming the Nickelodeon television series “Gigantic” and make up the pop duo MKTO. Now, they’re making their network return on the series “The Thundermans,” and we’ve got the exclusive pics!

MKTO will be dusting off their acting chops this fall as they perform and guest star as themselves on the live action series, which revolves around the Thunderman twins — one a superhero and one a super villain.

Now, while we don’t know too much of what goes down in the episode, we can tell by the photos that the duo appear to be in a diner, acting alongside one of the stars of the show, Kira Kosarin, who plays Phoebe Thunderman.

In another shot, MKTO appear to be taking a bit of a break from shooting as they pose alongside Kira and Jack Griffo, who plays Max Thunderman, Phoebe’s brother.

MKTO, whose single “Classic” peaked at #21 on the Billboard Hot 100, have a busy few months in store. The two, along with Christina Perri, are hitting the road with Demi Lovato on her very first world tour, which kicks off in September.

Hear This Snippet Of Wiz Khalifa’s ‘We Dem Boyz Remix’

by 06/05/14

Wiz Khalifa is riding high with his current single “We Dem Boyz,” but Mister Cap plans to take things a level higher on the song’s upcoming remix.

On Tuesday, just two days following his Hot 97 Summer Jam performance, Wiz told the station that he plans to drop a new “We Dem Boyz” remix with Nas, then on Wednesday he previewed a small piece of the song on his Instagram.

These days, the majority of rap remixes feature MCs delivering new verses over the same (or similar) beat to the original, but Wiz switched it up. With this new version, the Taylor Gang captain chose a slower instrumental, and instead of chanting “we dem boyz” he’s now singing the popular lyric with more harmony.

On May 26, while Wiz was out performing at the Soundset Festival, he took a IG pic with Nas and announced the remix earlier this week.

“You know why I got Nas man,” he said during his Hot 97 interview on Tuesday. “Nas is the original bottle-popper, designer clothes-rocker, weed smoker, young, fly n—a. He was doin’ all that, spittin’. He was puttin’ it out there in a way, n—as never heard that before. And I feel like our generation they need to re-see that from Nas.”

‘True Blood’: 7 Reasons Why You Have To Watch The Final Season

by 06/05/14

“True Blood” has been one of summer’s greatest, goriest, not-so-guilty pleasures for six years, but now it’s time for the vampire saga to come to an end. I’ve screened the first two (crazy awesome) episodes, and have complied seven spoiler-free things you need to know if you’re thinking about tuning in.

1. If you missed a season or two, you can jump back in.

The premise is pretty simple — at the end of Season 6, some evil humans poisoned the True Blood with a deadly, fatal, and highly contagious disease called Hep V. None of our favorite vamps were infected, but this still left them starving without a non-human food supply. Mayor Sam Merlotte found a peaceful solution in each vampire pairing up with their own personal human blood bank (the humans received protection against the infected in return), but the season finale found hoards of the infected closing in on Merlotte’s Bellefleur’s Bar and Grill, where everyone in Bon Temps was having a massive party.

So now, we have an apocalyptic, us-against-them situation on our hands, with humans and vampires (and the other supes, natch) needing to band together to fight their common enemy — which, of course, is not going to be easy…

2. It’s a bloodbath.
… because this enemy is a nightmare! The Hep V infected vamps are slowing dying, and while they’re not exactly zombies — their brains are still fully functioning — they certainly eat like them. They feed much more frequently and savagely, which we ...

Weezer Teases New Tracks — When Can We Get A Record?

by 06/05/14

It’s hard to believe that Weezer‘s self-titled debut — a.k.a “The Blue Album” — dropped 20 years ago for myriad reasons. 1). That would make me old, as I purchased it upon release. 2). The guys are out with two song snippets that have me just as excited today as I was back in 1994.

The snippets could, perhaps, appear on the band’s upcoming ninth record, produced by Ric Ocasek (who produced that debut record, among others). The band has been sharing cryptic clips from the studio for a while now — the first video came out last month, the second is brand-new.

Check out the new tunes below.

Nat Wolff Almost Played Gus In ‘The Fault In Our Stars’

by 06/05/14

Reporting by Josh Horowitz.

Though after “The Fault In Our Stars” opens tomorrow (June 6) Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley will be forever cemented in fans’ minds as Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace Lancaster, the movie could have very easily ended up looking totally different. Nat Wolff, who plays Gus’s blind BFF Isaac in the movie, actually did a full screen test and audition for the role of Gus.

Playing Isaac, he told MTV News, didn’t even occur to him while he was auditioning.

“I hadn’t really been thinking about that role, and once I got it, I was like, ‘This is a deep role,’ ” he said.

To research the role, he met blind people to see how they acted and how they felt about not being able to see. In the end, he loved that Isaac was a funny character, “but there was an edge to him, to his reality.”

“The Fault In Our Stars” hits theaters June 6.

Did anyone else notice that Wednesday night’s 2014 CMT Music Awards had a good time tossing back a few?

Adult beverages if you’re legal, Shirley Temples if you’re not, of course.

So once you’ve slept off your CMT Awards hangover — it’s only Thursday, get it together — piece the night together, performance by boozy performance.

‘Game Of Thrones’: Here’s How ‘The Mountain And The Viper’ Should Have Ended

by 06/05/14

Warning: Spoilers from last Sunday’s “Game of Thrones” lurk ahead!

“The Mountain and the Viper” stands out as one of the most exciting, edge-of-your-seat episodes of “Game of Thrones” yet, thanks to the titular battle between Ser Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane and Prince Oberyn Martell of Dorne. Sadly, it did not end the way that many fans hoped it would — there was a “sickening crunch” in the final moments of the battle, but it was the hero, not the villain, who ended up on the ground with his head smashed in.

It’s a depressing outcome for fans of the Red Viper (and equally depressing for Tyrion fans; in the wake of the Viper’s loss, the little Lannister that could has been sentenced to death), but it’s straight out of George R.R. Martin’s novels — hard to deviate from the source material on this one.

Then again, maybe the episode would have improved if show runners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss decided to change what Martin had written, at least in this instance. In fact, we’re sure of it, thanks to the following re-edited version of the battle between the Viper and the Mountain:

Really, any excuse to get Ser Pounce back in the mix is a good excuse.

“Game of Thrones” airs the penultimate episode of season four on Sunday.
