5SOS ‘So Excited’ To Play A ‘F–king Stadium’ With One Direction

by 05/23/14

Heading out to see One Direction’s Where We Are Tour? Well, get ready because you’re in store for an “absolutely epic” show.

On Friday (May 23), the guys kick off the second leg of their stadium tour in Dublin, Ireland, and they’re bringing along some familiar faces: 5 Seconds of Summer.

The “Don’t Stop” rockers will be joining 1D for the second time on tour — they opened for them on the Take Me Home Tour in 2013 — but the Aussies are just as excited as the first time around and still a little in shock that they’re playing to such massive crowds.

Ashton took to Twitter to express his anticipation about taking the stage and thank “the lads” for such an amazing opportunity.

The Australian foursome admitted to MTV News back in March that although they expect the tour to be “an amazing time” they “might get incredibly nervous” the first night out on the road. But no matter what happens, they know 1D have got their backs.

“They are really sweet guys and they support us so much and hopefully they let us support them back,” Ashton told us. “We have nothing but good things to say about them; they are such hard working [guys].”

The North American leg of the Where We Are Tour kicks off August 1 in Toronto, Canada.

by 05/23/14

by 05/23/14

NSFW clip below

Not long before its big Cannes premiere, the first international trailer for “Clouds of Sils Maria” premiered online. The Olivier Assayas film stars Juliette Binoche and Kristen Stewart as an aging actress and her possibly manipulative assistant Valentine, respectively.

The trailer highlights more of the sexual tension between Binoche’s and Stewart’s characters than previous plot descriptions had, and we get a pretty… revealing look at what’s going on with Valentine.

“Clouds of Sils Maria” has yet to secure a release date in the states, but that shouldn’t be too far away.

Iggy Azalea’s Grandpa Doesn’t Have A ‘Problem’ With Her ‘DWTS’ Fail

by 05/23/14

When you fall down, or screw up your vocals on national TV, there are a few people you can count on. One of them is your grandfather. Just ask Iggy Azalea, who got some support from her grandpops on Thursday, two days after an appearance on “Dancing with the Stars” on Tuesday when her earpieces weren’t working. In case you missed it, Iggy started the song and then stumbled over the lyrics, apologizing to the audience at the top of her “Fancy” performance.

Iggy addressed the issue head-on just after the show with a “s— happens” tweet, and on Friday morning (May 23) her grandpa weighed in.

“I have the sweetest grandfather of all time,” she wrote next to a note from ‘pops, who goes by “GrayHam” in his post. “He used to work in television so he understood my ear phone problem which makes everyone who didn’t not matter anymore.”

Awww.

Ab-Soul Riffs On Nas, Links With Action Bronson For ‘Stigmata’

by 05/23/14

Ab-Soul has been very vocal with his displeasure over his album delay, but we’re inching closer to that June release date for These Days. Before the album finally drops, however, the TDE rapper has unleashed a new single called “Stigmata,” featuring Action Bronson and Philly rapper Asaad.

The song’s hook pulls some inspiration from Nas’ track “The Cross,” which was featured on his 2002 album, God’s Son.

Last month Ab-Soul took to Twitter and threatened that he might leak his own album if the label wouldn’t drop it soon. TDE Ceo Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith heard him loud and clear, eventually giving fans the opportunity to choose a release date for the project by voting.

by 05/23/14

When Ellen Page lays her tiny head on her pillow at night, she enters a weird and wondrous world full of IKEA takeout food, Justin Bieber, and a wilderness of, ahem, overgrown crotch curlies.

This is what we learned from the “X-Men: Days of Future Past” actress during her Thursday night appearance on “Conan,” where she opened up to her host about her vivid and unusual dreams. There’s the bizarrely detailed one about eating IKEA meatballs in the home of fellow Canadian Justin Bieber, but what will really make you curious is the part where she talks about her nightmares, because all her anxiety dreams involve pubic hair, and there’s got to be a reason why.

‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Post-Credits Scene Explained

by 05/23/14

Like most comic book based movies these days, “X-Men: Days Of Future Past” has a post-credits scene that tees up the next movie, teasing events and characters that will play into 2016′s “X-Men: Apocalypse.”

If you’ve never read the comic books the movie may be based on, you were probably left scratching your head harder than that Thanos reveal mid-credits in “The Avengers.” And if you have read the comics? Well, chances are, you may still have been scratching your head.

So here’s everything you need to know about the “Days of Future Past” post-credits scene, and why it’s important for the future.

MASSIVE SPOILERS PAST THIS POINT.

Okay, brief recap of the scene for those of you who were left stupefied as you exited the theater. The camera reveals a man in a cloak standing on a sandy dune. Thousands of followers are chanting his name, bowing to him. Slowly, it’s revealed that, with his hands raised, he’s building the ancient pyramids with his mind. The camera zooms around to reveal a teenager whose skin is completely grey.

Huhbuhwha?

First of all, let’s explain what those followers were chanting: they were saying the teenager’s name, En Sabah Nur. In the comics, that’s the human name of Apocalypse, a nearly 5,000-year-old mutant, the first one ever in recorded history.

As a kid, Nur learned through enslavement that the world was all about survival of the fittest. With his massive powers, he quickly grew to prominence and eventually was worshipped as a god by the Clan Akkaba — ...

What ‘Godzilla’ Tells Us About Gareth Edwards’ ‘Star Wars’ Spinoff

by 05/23/14

It’s good to be the king of the King of Monsters.

As if director Gareth Edwards‘ month couldn’t get any better (what with his latest film, “Godzilla,” positively trouncing the box-office in its opening weekend), in comes the news that he’s been tapped to direct the first official “Star Wars” spinoff.

It’s great news for fans, first for the obvious reason that there are now two “Star Wars” movies officially on the calendar, one year apart from each other. It’s also great news because Edwards is a very talented and promising young filmmaker, as evidenced by “Godzilla.”

Even if “Godzilla” wasn’t your cup of tea, there’s no denying Edwards’ eye for action, his eye for scale, and his eye for creature design. All good things when it comes to a “Star Wars” film. As for what else Edwards’ work on “Godzilla” tells us about his upcoming entry in the “Star Wars” franchise…

1. Edwards attracts talent. Bryan Cranston was the standout in “Godzilla,” arguably the only standout in the human cast, but he was surrounded by equally talented, well-established actors like Ken Watanabe, David Strathairn, and Elizabeth Olsen. They didn’t quite pop in “Godzilla,” but that’s a story issue, not a performance problem. If Edwards can attract a similar level of talent for “Star Wars,” the spinoff is going to be a well-acted film.

2. Edwards likes surprises. He doesn’t quite adhere to J.J. Abrams’ “mystery box,” but he likes his secrets. The big twist with Cranston’s character (which won’t be repeated here ...
