We have yet to get our hands on the legendary Andrew W.K.‘s upcoming book, “The Party Bible,” but the esteemed author gave us a taste of the literary action while at Hangout Fest 2014.

Before busting out the party-est and sweatiest of sets down in Gulf Shores, Alabama, Mr. W.K. bestowed upon us the first two commandments of partying — as well the recipe for his sacrament of choice. We’re not sure whether said commandments and recipe will end up in the book, but they’re worth jotting down either way.

Check it out below — before Andrew W.K. hits up the world’s most prestigious debating society, The Oxford Union, in June to deliver yet another inspirational speech about partying titled “Andrew W.K. and The Philosophy of Partying.”

Macklemore caught some serious heat this week, after sporting a costume that fans regarded as anti-Semitic, during a Seattle show, but Ryan Lewis maintains that it was a “pretty massive misunderstanding.”

Lewis was in New York City on Wednesday (May 20) to co-host a beat battle contest with designer David Bitton, and he addressed the outfit that Macklemore wore during the secret weekend show.

“Anybody who knows Ben knows the human being that he is,” Lewis told MTV News. “I think one of the key things, reading his statement, that I think is true, is that our music speaks for itself and the organizations that we’ve gotten behind throughout the last three to four years speak for themselves.

“I think the entire thing was a pretty massive misunderstanding.”

Macklemore himself issued a statement of apology, explaining to fans that he never meant to offend anyone with the outfit, which he put together randomly before the show.

A native of Grenada, a product of Brooklyn, a student of hip-hop. Hi, I'm @neweryork.

How do you follow up “Frozen,” one of the biggest hits in the history of Disney Animation? With their first ever animated Marvel feature, “Big Hero 6,” of course.

The movie, based on the comic series of the same name, has been relatively shrouded in secrecy, at least until now. The trailer premieres tomorrow (May 22), and in advance of that Yahoo has premiered a brand new poster.

And if that wasn’t enough? A teaser for the trailer has also hit online:

Looks good, right? The plot, as mentioned, is mostly under wraps; but in the comics the team functions as a sort of Japanese Avengers, fighting giant monsters and robots while trying to hold their dysfunctional team together.

The movie hits theaters November 7, but head back here tomorrow to check out the first trailer.

South African rap-rave duo Die Antwoord have never been ones to shy away from controversial imagery, so, um, why would they start now?

Their new video for “Pitbull Terrier” opens on Yo-Landi Vi$$er surveying the cityscape below her as Ninja, looking like some kind of human-canine hybrid, chases down his prey: an actor styled to look a whole lot like Pitbull.

Ninja, who directed the video, then proceeds to eat Mr. Worldwide alive — needless to say, NSFW. It’s kind of interesting to note that Ninja’s jacket is emblazoned with the letters “PITBULL FANBOY,” so maybe there’s some kind of hidden meaning in the visual about fans devouring their idols? Something tells me that Pitbull won’t bother sticking with the Donker Mag clip long enough to find out.

This isn’t the first time that Die Antwoord have courted controversy in the pop world with their music videos. Back in 2012, they parodied Lady Gaga in “Fatty Boom Boom,” but I kinda don’t feel like explaining their “satire” because Yo-Landi performed in what many identified as blackface for part of that clip. #facepalm

What do you think? Are Die Antwoord coming for Pitbull, or was the “Timber” performer simply in the wrong video at the wrong time? Watch the super-NSFW video below, and let me know in the comments.

50 Cent isn’t denying that he wasn’t at his son Marquise’s high school graduation over the weekend. But the rapper offered a pretty good reason why that was the case: He wasn’t even invited.

“I don’t need an explanation,” he said on “106 & Park” this week. “My personal life, there’s portions of it that are supposed to actually be personal. And your actual life as an entertainer is a whole ‘nother portion of your life.”

Even so, he’s well aware that much of his life is in the public eye. And with that as the case, Fif did decide to provide an explanation after all.

“I haven’t received an invitation to it,” he said of the graduation gathering. “And when he graduated, I was in Budapest on a movie with Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law and Jason Statham. At some point, the information, the reason why it actually comes out, is because his mom is going to TMZ.”

Initial reports suggested that Marquise expressed his disappointment on a Facebook page, though later reports alleged that it was a fake account. Regardless, the fact that Fif wasn’t at the graduation remained, as did the reason for it.

“My relationship with my oldest son is dictated by his actual mom,” 50 added.

The Queens native tossing the brunt of the blame in the direction of his son’s mother isn’t particularly surprising. Many of the tensions in their relationship have played out in public in recent years.

Also this week, Fif released his latest Animal Ambition cut, “Twisted.”

Don’t put away the body oil and spangled thongs just yet, gentlemen: Hollywood’s love affair with male strippers is, clearly, far from over.

After the amazing success of “Magic Mike” put male stripping on the cinematic map, producers are raring to put even more men onstage wearing naught but banana hammocks. Three new movies about nude-dude dancers have made the news this week, and the latest entry into the genre, “Chocolate City,” is an urban take on the classic tale of a young, struggling student who turns to stripping to make ends meet.

Tyson Beckford is in talks for the starring role in that film, according to Deadline. The model/actor would play a veteran stripper who takes the young (as-yet uncast) ingenue under his wing. Michael Jai White is also circling a supporting role as the club owner.

“Chocolate City” is finding its cast at a high-profile moment for male strippers, with a trailer for Joe Manganiello’s documentary “La Bare” making its splashy, flesh-filled premiere this week as well.

But if you’re looking for proof of Hollywood’s ongoing fascination with this subject matter, then the most compelling evidence yet is a surprise revelation from a GQ interview with Channing Tatum, about who’s manning the cameras on “Magic Mike XXL.”

As it turns out, director Steven Soderbergh, who opened the door for the oeuvre at large when he collaborated with Tatum on “Magic Mike,” and who’s technically supposed to be retired from filmmaking, just couldn’t stay away when ...

It seems like Ariana Grande has no problem showing off her newly rekindled relationship with Jai Brooks.

The “Problem” singer posted a pic on Instagram on Wednesday (May 21) of Jai holding two adorable puppies, and not surprisingly “Jariana” fans who “have been waiting for this” started freaking out, “crying so hard” and upon first view photo, had them saying ‘Holy Sh–.”

Ariana and Jai, who is a member of the Australian group Janoskians, began their relationship after meeting online and dated for about a year. The two split in 2013, with Ariana dating The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes. Yet after the two split, she and Jai found their way back to one another.

Earlier this week Jai opened up to Sugarscape about Ariana, saying that being away from each other while on the road can be trying on their relationship.

“Last year when I was on tour it was pretty hard, but it’s all worth it,” Jai said. “It’s easy to control myself around other girls, I don’t have any difficulty doing that. But it is hard at times because we miss each other.”

The two shocked a lot of Arianators when they were spotted locking lips backstage at the iHeartRadio awards earlier this month, but Jai pretty much confirmed they were once again an item when he tweeted how “proud” he was of Ariana’s “amazing performance” at KIIS-FM’s annual Wango Tango concert.

Every Sundance Film Festival, there are a handful of movies — if we’re lucky — that debut, take over the fest with buzz and have a life outside of Park City, Utah. This year, “Whiplash” is one of those movies.

The drama starring Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons won the Audience Prize at Sundance and became one of the most talked-about of the festival.

The movie follows a drummer named Andrew Neyman (Teller) as he enters a beyond-intense music program led by the very hands-on Terence Fletcher (Simmons). Both actors score serious prize for their performances, and in the clip above, it’s obvious why.

Sony Pictures Classics scooped up the distribution rights but has yet to set a release date. Regardless, I’m looking forward to checking this out whenever it hits theaters.

Michael Jackson’s hologram had better watch himself: there’s a new kid on the block, ready to kick his computer-generated butt in a dance-off.

This video from the Pitman High School Talent Rally in Turlock, California shows a shaggy-haired teenager absolutely crushing the competition to the beat of “Billie Jean”, popping his pelvis and moonwalking as smoothly as the King of Pop ever did, while the crowd goes wild behind him. Who is this masked white-gloved lord of the dance?
