Someone Got Their Chain Snatched Onstage At 50 Cent’s Summer Jam Show: See The Video

by 06/02/14

50 Cent gave fans plenty to talk about on Sunday night when he graced the stage at Hot 97′s annual Summer Jam concert in New Jersey. Not only did Fif reunite his G-Unit group, he also performed while someone got robbed for their chain on stage.

MTV News was on hand to witness the concert and scuffle, but couldn’t positively identify who was involved in the fracas. A video which was posted to AllHipHop.com’s YouTube page on Monday morning, shows a person getting their chain snatched, but the victim falls out of frame and is unidentifiable.

A second, video posted by popular rap site RealTalkNY, doesn’t provide a clear picture either. The incident took place while 50 and Fabolous performed a remix to “Cuffin’ Season” for the first time. A number of media outlets are reporting that a person affiliated with the clothing company Slowbucks and the rap group SBOE, was the one that was robbed, but that has not been confirmed.

In April, Slow, Bucks (from Slowbucks) and known 50 Cent-adversary Trav took an Instagram photo with Fif’s son Marquise. The photo upset the G-Unit boss, who left a comment under the pic. “This picture was a bad idea,” he wrote.

MTV News reached out to representatives from G-Unit and SBOE, but have not received any information as of press time.

‘Faking It’ Poll: Is Karma Secretly Falling In Lust With Amy?

by 06/02/14

Not sure if your bestie likes you in that way? Getting her to make out with you, while wearing only the finest from Victoria’s Secret, is one surefire strategy to find out!

That was kinda-sorta Amy‘s plan when she agreed to a threesome with her BFF Karma and Hester High School’s resident hottie Liam, on last week’s episode of “Faking It.” While Karma’s plan centered on her fake girlfriend bolting mid-orgy so she could finally lose her V-card to Liam, Amy held onto hope that Karma was really, truly into her. After all, in the words of the ever-insightful Shane: “One does not suggest a three-way with one’s BFF all willy-nilly.” Bisexual Batsignal alert!

But when it came time to actually seal the deal with both Amy and Liam, Karma got cold feet. Whether it was the seedy motel room, the unexpected strains of “Mr. Saxobeat,” the thought of really having to pretend being into her gal pal or the prospect of going all the way with Liam, she became radically reluctant, prompting Amy to get the party started with the best quote ever: “F**k it. Is this a threesome or a staring contest?”

And that’s about when THE KISS happened.

No, not this one. The lingerie-laden, not-so-sisterly smooch that left Karma completely bewildered and Amy likely thinking something along the lines of “Nailed it!”


Yep, this is the one.

Not wanting to be left out, Liam swooped in to swap spit with Amy. Bad move: ...

Chris Brown Stuck With T-Pain Through His Two-Year Depression

by 06/02/14

When you’re a music star with tons of hit records, plenty of people are your friends. When those hits slow down, though — like they did for T-Pain — and when people fall out of love with your sound — like they did with T-Pain — well, not everyone is as eager to be buddy-buddy.

That’s the harsh reality that the singer says he faced during a recent two-year depression when his professional success stalled and he slept and drank his days away.

But a couple people did prove to be loyal, including Chris Brown.

“I did it for him,” Pain told MTV News last week, after acknowledging that Breezy was in a rare class of those who didn’t disappear. “I did it for everybody, but, you know, Chris the most, because he was going through so much with all the backlash and stuff he was going through. And I still called him, hit him up, visit him in the studio, checked on him, make sure was OK, went by his house, just popped up in places that he was.”

The “Up, Down (Do This All Day)” singer was also appreciative of another hit-making R&B powerhouse.

“Ne-Yo stayed down,” he said. “Ne-Yo was in every strip club I went to, every time I went. Where you at? I’m coming. I don’t care where you at. I’m driving, I’m flying. Anywhere.”

As for others?

“Everybody else just kind of fell off and was just like, ‘Aight, well, make a new song and we’ll call ya.;”

Here’s Why You Need The Orwells’ Brain-Melting New Record

by 06/02/14

Chicago punks The Orwells’ sophomore record, Disgraceland, is out Tuesday and if you don’t already have the anticipation shakes, well, we’re here to help induce them.

There are a lot of up-and-coming garage and punk acts out there as of late — and always, because remember rock never died — but we’re seriously vibing on The Orwells this week. From frontman Mario Cuomo’s onstage, full-body fits to their Tales-From-The-Crypt-Come-Doo-Wop sound, every jam from this band is a must-listen.

But don’t take the preceding paltry collection of words for it, we’ve got 11 perfectly good reasons to nab their next disc below:

1). This Brand-New Music Video

Feeling cooped-up ‘n’ crazy this Monday? Well, fix your eyes on this new video from the Orwells, in which they do all manner of bad things around their hometown of Chicago. One order of vicarious-carnage — coming up.

2). This ‘Letterman’ Performance

It’s probably no coincidence that Letterman announced his retirement soon after the Orwells took his stage. There’s really no topping this performance.

3). This Claymation Version Of That ‘Letterman’ Performance

Unless, of course, you bust out a claymation version of the aforementioned career-topping gig.

4). This Assertion

According to frontman Mario Cuomo, the guys don’t just bring it out for late-night. They try to make every performance as fit-inducing as possible.

“I learned that a good show or whatever — a good show or song or album — is a lot more important to other people,” he told MTV News. “Even if you’re not feeling it one night or some ...

Watch Niall Horan Get Hit In the Face With A Banana By 5SOS

by 06/02/14

You better watch out for 5 Seconds of Summer because they are on the attack … a banana attack!

For the past several days, the group have been posting 0:15 videos on their Instgaram account of a smiley-faced banana that happens to be on a mission to face-slap anyone in its path — including One Direction’s Niall Horan.

The 1D member took a bit of a face-beating thanks to that banana. Niall was slapped on the cheek and forehead before it moved on to its next victim.

In other videos, with the “Mission: Impossible” theme song playing in the background, the banana goes up to its target and hits them repeatedly in the face, which is, actually, pretty hysterical.

In one particluar clip, Calum attempts to take down the banana by taking a knife to it, but the “banana hero,” otherwise known as Luke (who we believe is the mastermind behind this plan) saves the day by pretending to punch Calum in the face.

5SOS are currently on tour with One Direction for the fivesome’s Where We Are Tour, and we’ll be anxiously waiting and watching to see which 1D member the banana strikes next.

Hello Kitty ‘Avengers’ Assemble

by 06/02/14

Because dreams do come true, here’s the cast of “Marvel’s The Avengers” and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” if they were covered in “Hello Kitty” paraphernalia!

As far as our copious Tumblr research has uncovered, the meme was popularized by user Science Oven (and warning, blog is extremely not safe for work), but then picked up by more users as it rolled along.

The meme seems to have started with Chris Evans as Captain America:

Captain America Hello Kitty

…Continued with The Falcon and Iron Man:

The Falcon Hello KittyIron Man Hello Kitty

Arguably was perfected with Thor:

Thor Hello Kitty

And even includes Hawkeye, sporting the sparkliest arrows you’ll ever see:

Hawkeye Hello Kitty

Finally, over the weekend, Agent Coulson was posted after a direct challenge:

Agent Coulson Hello Kitty

For bonus points, users also made The Winter Kitty:

The Winter Soldier Hello Kitty

So there you go! Day made. What do you want to see them make next? And are you as confused as we are that there’s no Loki yet, because it’s Tumblr and the site is 95% Loki GIFs?

Oh wait, here you go:

Hello Kitty Loki and Thor

Psy’s Got A Huge ‘Hangover’ And The Only Cure Is More Snoop Dogg

by 06/02/14

You remember Psy, right? The horsey dance guy whose video has been viewed a mind-crushing 2 billion times?

There was a time last summer when we were all waiting for his debut U.S. album. Hell, we talked to him May and he promised he would try and drop it just after he finished a promo run for his “Gangnam Style” follow-up, “Gentleman.” Flash forward to this week and after a long time out of the spotlight outside of his native South Korea, Psy is back on his grind.

And this time he has some help from none other than Snoop Dogg. The dynamic duo will unveil Psy’s new single, “Hangover,” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Sunday at 8 p.m., directly after game two of the NBA Finals. Both artists will appear on the show to debut a clip from the song’s official video; the single will hit iTunes and other digital retailers next Monday. According to Psy’s label, “Hangover” is just a teaser for the official lead single from the album, which will hit later this summer.

The full version of the “Hangover” video will be available on Psy’s YouTube channel after Sunday’s prime-time special episode. Though a spokesperson for the singer could not give additional information on the as-yet-untitled album, a press release from Psy’s label promised that “Hangover” has “one of his catchiest hooks to date,” and that it’s an “ultimate party anthem” that promises to set off the “summer of Psy.”

The best they can offer at ...

7 Action Movies From The ’90s We Actually Want Remade

by 06/02/14

Last week, we found out that every action movie from the ’90s is being remade. Well, just “Cliffhanger” and “Stargate,” but that’s still too many.

There are plenty of muscle-bound flicks from the ’90s that had great concepts but didn’t quite stick the landing or had themes or gimmicks that deserve further exploration.

If I was running a studio hell-bent on remaking movies from the ’90s, these are the ones I’d tackle.

“The Saint”

Here’s a movie with an undeniably cinematic concept — master thief who is also a master of disguise — that could be perfect in the hands of a flexible actor, capable of pulling off multiple personalities, like Tom Hardy. It’s more about the acting showcase rather than the name recognition.

“Demolition Man”

What stands out from this middle Stallone entry is the built-in comedy of a man out of time. Given to someone with slightly better comedic chops than Sly, this could be a refreshingly funny action remake. A cameo from the three shells would be required though.

“Double Impact”

I’ve always said that there need to be more action movies featuring leads that don’t know they have a twin and who eventually team up with said twin. In a perfect world, we’d have one of those a year, but I’ll settle for one stellar “Double Impact” remake. Casting suggestion: Two Channing Tatums.

“Rocketeer”

This is a touchy one because I (and many others) love Joe Johnston’s WWII adventure flick, but there’s no reason that Cliff Secord couldn’t be modeled off a James Bond. ...

MLB Crush Monday: Five Reasons Why We’re Diggin’ The Oakland A’s Josh Donaldson

by 06/02/14

There’s nothing like staring at a man in uniform to kick off the work week, right? In honor of MTV2′s new series, “Off the Bat from the MLB Fan Cave,” we’ll be spotlighting one of the sexiest sluggers in the game every Monday. Here, overall stats, batting averages and team standings don’t dictate whether or not a player gets picked — see below for why this week’s pro made the MLB Crush Monday cut!

Cali native and “Off the Bat” host Sway Calloway is usually outnumbered by New Yorkers on the show, but come Tuesday night he’ll have a West Coast ally when an Oakland Athletics player visits the MLB Fan Cave.

As we eagerly await third baseman Josh Donaldson’s guest appearance, here are five reasons why we’re already crushing on the Bay Area slugger we like to call the MLB Comeback King:

All-Star Josh Donaldson Otto Gruele Jr./ Getty Images
1. Hey now, he’s an All-Star.
In 2010, Josh’s baseball career got off to a rough start (he struck out during his first game as an Oakland A), but he’s since done a 180. This year, he’s one of the top prospects for the All-Star team. Way to go, J!

2. He beat bullies in the game of life.
According to Wikipedia, Josh was often picked on in high school, but he’s clearly overcome that hurdle. ...
