Justin Bieber Responds To Second Racist Video With Bible Verses

by 06/04/14

Hours after a video surfaced of Justin Bieber liberally using the the n-word and laughing, the singer has addressed the situation in an Instagram post.

“When your sins weigh heavily upon you, come to Me,” begins the text of the photo he shared, which is lifted from Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young. “Confess your wrong doing, which I know all about before you say a word. Stay in the Light of My Presence, receiving forgiveness, cleansing, and healing. Remember that I have clothed you in My Righteousness, so nothing can separate you from Me. Whenever you stumble or fall, I am there to help you up.”

The photo goes on to quote three passages from the New Testament, as well.

The pop star didn’t write a comment with the photo, which addressed controversy ignited by a video released on Wednesday (June 4). In it, a 14-year-old Bieber sings a version of his hit, “One Less Lonely Girl,” that finds him spewing racially insensitive lyrics: “One less lonely n—-r/ One less lonely n—-r … there’s gonna be one less lonely n—-r.” He also added a joke about the Ku Klux Klan.

“Some mistakes have no excuses,” it reads. “They are just wrong. But how a man reacts to those ...

Is ‘Prisoner Of Azkaban’ The Best ‘Harry Potter’ Movie?

by 06/04/14

In a series of consistently good movies, it’s safe to say that the general consensus that “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” is the best film adaptation of the books by J.K. Rowling. Directed by future Oscar-winner Alfonso Cuarón, the third movie introduced the darker aesthetic that would define the following five films.

Now, on the tenth anniversary of the theatrical release of “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” we’ve set out to decide once and for all whether it deserves its presumed status of the best Harry Potter movie.

Which ‘Harry Potter’ Movie Is The Best?

Kevin P. Sullivan: I think before we get underway, it should be said: There isn’t a bad Harry Potter film. We can at least agree on that, right?

Kase Wickman: I mean, the first two are a little hard to watch, but you’re right: No such thing as a bad Harry Potter movie. But there’s no denying that not all Harry Potter movies were created equal. And, Kevin, I don’t think we’re betting on the same horse in this case.

KS: Like you said, the films aren’t all equal, and that means there’s a best one. And that movie is “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” directed by His Majesty Alfonso Cuarón.

KW: That’s where you’re wrong, sir! That honor belongs to “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1,” but instead of me waving my hands around about the emotional experience of that film for half an hour (again), let’s talk ...

50 Cent Wants A Role In ‘Star Wars’: 8 Things We Learned From Him This Week

by 06/04/14

It’s been just about five years since 50 Cent last dropped an album, but in the lead-up to his latest Animal Ambition LP, the Southside Jamaica, Queens rap star has been everywhere and speaking on everything.

Fif reunited with his estranged G-Unit crew at Hot 97′s Summer Jam on Sunday, may or may not have witnessed a robbery on stage, dropped his album on Tuesday, followed by a pair of freestyles with Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and Young Buck.

He’s also granted interviews to Hot 97 and “Good Day Philadelphia” and did an AMA Reddit session, fielding questions about his terrible first-pitch at CitiField last week and his relationship with his son.

It’s been pretty hard to keep up, but luckily we got you covered. Here are the broad strokes.

50

1. About That G-Unit Reunion
50 told New York City on-air jock Angie Martinez that his group reunion started with Young Buck. After bringing the Memphis, Tennessee, spitter into the fold, he then rounded up Banks and Yayo for the surprise Summer Jam reunion. But when asked about Game, Fif simply responded: “Oh, no.”

2. A G-Unit Album Is On The Way
“Yes, you’ll see an album by late November,” 50 confirmed with “Good Day Philadelphia.”

Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Wear A Native American Headdress

by 06/04/14

Pharrell Williams drew some heat Wednesday (June 4) for wearing a Native American headdress on the cover of Elle UK, leading the singer to apologize for what many considered cultural appropriation of a sacred tradition — despite the fact that he is part Native American.

“I respect and honor every kind of race, background and culture,” he said via a rep. “I am genuinely sorry.”

Still, Skateboard P is far from the first celeb to cross cultural lines and ruffle feathers (no pun intended). Gwen Stefani, musician Christina Fallin and a cadre of Victoria’s Secret models have all donned headdresses, as have numerous festival-goers the world over. Hit up any music fest — from Electric Daisy to Pitchfork — and you’re sure to see some sunburned dude in a full war bonnet.

Yup, the trend does not seem to be dissipating — despite outrage — the issue perhaps being that these gleeful feather-wearers are simply uninformed.

In light of Pharrell’s recent apology, and in prep for the long summer festival experience before us, MTV News hit up a series of experts and people in the Native American community to ask them all the questions you’ve ever wanted to pose about headdresses:

1). What Does Wearing A Headdress Mean?

226236882_afaece5762_o.jpg

“The headdress is reserved for our revered elders who, through their selflessness and leadership, have earned the right to wear one. It’s a spiritual garb, not just cultural; it’s not merely an addition to one’s attire. Wearing ...

Watch President Obama Pump Some Serious Iron At A Hotel Gym

by 06/04/14

Turns out, President Barack Obama is an elliptical guy.

That’s what we learned on Wednesday (June 4), when a video leaked of the POTUS working out at a gym at the Warsaw Marriott Hotel. He’s currently in Poland to meet with Ukrainian President-elect Petro Poroshenko, but he managed to sneak in time to pump some iron and do an impressive series of squats and leg raises.

There’s no telling who the bold hotel guest was who recorded the video, which reportedly first appeared on Fakt, but whoever it is, is one stealthy documentarian, as we can see our dear POTUS in every stage of his workout.

Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan confirmed the validity of the video, but didn’t seem concerned for Obama’s safety, as Secret Service agents were “in proximity” to Obama during the workout. He pointed out that the video is “no different than if the President visited a restaurant off the record and other diners took pictures of him.”

“Hotel guests were not asked to leave the gym during this off-the-record movement, nor were they asked to refrain from taking pictures,” he said in a statement.

Migos Want Respect From 2 Chainz, Not Theories About ‘The Migos Flow’

by 06/04/14

Don’t talk to Migos about the origin of the “Migos flow,” because they’re not interested in any theories that it was influenced by other artists. Earlier this month, the Atlanta rappers lashed out at 2 Chainz for saying that the style originated from Three 6 Mafia, and the trio aren’t ready to apologize.

“Actually I just seen on Instagram that they looking for ['the Migos flow'] in the bottom of Africa,” Quavo joked. “So [2 Chainz] can’t determine the origin. I seen researchers looking for it in Africa right now.”

On his Freebase track “Trap Back,” 2 Chainz rapped, “Look at my car, how did it get on dem sixes/ This flow come from Drizzy, he got it from Migos, they got it from Three 6.”

When Migos got wind of this, they hurled some insults his way on Twitter, and this week they told MTV News that they felt disrespected — despite the fact that 2 Chainz didn’t seem to mean any ill will.

“He just mentioned Migos’ name, and as a supposed OG in the game, we feel like you’re supposed to be giving us knowledge and respect us, instead of doing that,” they said. “That ain’t how we rock, we just don’t rock like that.”

When asked if they considered that 2 Chainz didn’t mean any disrespect, or if they were Three 6 Mafia fans, and might’ve been influnced by the group, their stance was clear.

“We not talking about Three 6, we talking about what 2 Chainz ...

#FiveSeasonsAndAMarvelMovie: The Cast Of ‘Community’ Should Be In ‘Doctor Strange’

by 06/04/14

With the news that director Scott Derrickson will be helming Marvel’s upcoming “Doctor Strange,” comes the immediate follow-up question: who’s his star? While the Internet was interested in Jared Leto today, I think there’s a far more obvious choice, one who has worked with Derrickson before.

No, not Ethan Hawke from “Sinister.” And not his “Deliver Us From Evil” star Eric Bana, mainly because he played the original Hulk before Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo.

I’m thinking Joel McHale.

Community - Season 3

McHale is one of the leads in “Deliver Us From Evil,” and from his work on “Community” perfectly encapsulates the arrogance, humor and sweet sappy center necessary to portray Marvel’s a-hole doctor turned sorcerer supreme.

But why stop there? With NBC’s “Community” officially dead (that is, until it gets picked up by Hulu), why not bring on the rest of the cast of the sitcom to flesh out Derrickson’s “Strange?” Hey, we can call it #FiveSeasonsAndAMarvelMovie:

Jim Rash As Wong

Community - Season 3

Rash has what it takes to portray Strange’s beleaguered man-servant Wong, a character who sticks by Strange no matter what. Also, they’re both bald.

Gillian Jacons as Clea

Britta-Perry-The-First-Chang-Dynasty-britta-perry-31235603-500-333

Clea is Strange’s on-again, off-again romantic partner. She’s strong-willed, and often gets Strange entangled in insane, universe bending adventures. Sounds like Britta and Jeff to me! (And yes, so far I’m basing this all on that one episode where they’re magicians, but bear with me).

Chevy Chase as The ...

5 Reasons CMT Music Awards Performer Luke Bryan Is A Bro We Wanna Know

by 06/04/14

Luke Bryan is one of the biggest country music stars today. He’s performing at the 2014 CMT Music Awards, where he’s also nominated. He sold out a weekend of shows at Madison Square Garden in minutes and was named Entertainer of the Year by the Academy of Country Music Awards last year.

You may have already known all that, but did you know that Luke Bryan would be a good hang? Sure, he’s a superstar, but he’s also just a dude. He likes to drink beer and isn’t afraid of getting a crazy tattoo. Here are five reasons that Bryan is a bro you want to hang with.

1. He’ll totally let you drive his truck:
Well, we’re not sure if he would let you drive his truck, but he does get free ones from Chevy. Also, Bryan recently crashed one of his trucks into a lake because he left it in drive while feeding catfish in his private pond. That probably means he has some trucks to spare and enough land for you to spin some donuts.

2. He enjoys a good beer:
Bryan’s not afraid to toss back a few. He recently drunk tweeted through his anniversary dinner at a sushi restaurant that wouldn’t let him wear his hat inside. Bryan later apologized and left a large tip, and also tweeted that his breakfast the next day was “a lovely all American breakfast. Wine, beer, champagne, and more beer. Yee haw.” Sounds like a good ...
