‘Noah’ Heads To The Super Bowl With New Trailer: Watch Now

is going to the Super Bowl.

A new ad for Paramount's biblical epic will air during Sunday's Broncos-Seahawks matchup, but fans can check out the 30-second trailer now. There's not much new footage to be seen, but it serves up plenty of apocalyptic action to keep viewers glued to their seats between plays. (But really, aren't the commercials the main attraction anyway?)

We got a first taste of Darren Aronofsky's "Noah" back in November, when the debut trailer offered up plenty of jaw-dropping visuals. The film, opening March 28, follows the biblical tale of Noah as he builds an ark to save his family (and a boatload of animals) from a civilization-ending flood. Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Anthony Hopkins and Logan Lerman star.

Expect to see plenty of new movie trailers on Sunday, including ads for "Need For Speed," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and the football-themed "Draft Day." How much are studios coughing up for each spot? According to reports, Fox is billing $4 million per 30-second commercial.

Kickoff for Super Bowl XLVIII is slated for Sunday (February 2) at 6:30 p.m. ET inside New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. Bruno Mars is set to rock the halftime show with his special guest Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Paramore Set World Record For Awesome With ‘Ain’t It Fun’ Video

Well, this was certainly worth the wait.

Three months after Paramore announced they'd scrapped the video for "Ain't It Fun," they've returned with an actual, completed clip ... and it's a gem.

Directed by Sophia Peer (who's worked with acts like the National and Ponytail), this version of "Ain't It Fun" follows Paramore as they attempt to set a series of increasingly ridiculous world records — everything from "fastest time to smash 30 clocks with guitars" and "most feathers caught in 30 seconds" to "most cartwheels in 20 seconds while wearing boots" and, of course, "fastest time to run backwards holding stuffed animals while blindfolded for 30 feet" — with the ultimate goal of breaking more records in a single music video than any other band.

Who previously held that record? Who knows? Probably no one ... and that's not really the point. Like its title (sarcastically) implies, "Ain't It Fun" is very much about joy, camaraderie, silliness and reckless abandon. It doesn't really matter if Paramore end up breaking the most records (spoiler alert: they do), or even if their record holds up — in a rather brilliant interactive move, they're actively encouraging fans to make records of their own through RecordSetter.com. No need for the involvement of the stodgy Guinness Book of World Records ... this one's all about inclusion.

Which is why, in a lot of ways, "Ain't It Fun" brings to mind Paramore's recent (and quite excellent) video for which not only marked their first fizzy foray into pop, but signified a departure ...

We Asked Austin Mahone About Those Selena Gomez Dating Rumors

Are Selena Gomez and Austin Mahone the new "it" couple of pop? Not so fast.

Rumors began swirling on Wednesday (January 29) that, after some matchmaking by Taylor Swift, Mahone and Gomez were "seeing each other" after being seen leaving a Beats Music concert on January 24 in the same car.

Breathe a sigh of relief, Mahomies, because when MTV News caught up with the man himself on Wednesday (January 29) he confirmed that he is very much still single.

"It's not true. I'm not dating Selena Gomez," Mahone confirmed shortly before he hit the stage at the Aquafina FlavorSplash Super Bowl kick-off concert in New York, where he is set to perform his new single for the first time live. Mahomies and Selenators weren't the only ones surprised to see the two linked in a romance rumor; Mahone was too.

"It's strange. I don't know where they come up with it, but it's cool. She's one of my friends," Mahone said. "We are always talking about music. She showed me some of her songs that she's got coming up, so we're cool."

This isn't the first time Mahone, who revealed that Gomez's new music is "crazy" and "awesome," has been linked to the "Come & Get It" singer, the two were spotted together last summer after spending a day in Disneyland.

And even though the romance rumors may be frustrating at times, it isn't too bad to be linked to one of the hottest pop stars in the world.

"No, she's great," Mahone said. "She's talented, very beautiful."

J. Cole Shows Crew Love With <i>Revenge of the Dreamers</i> Mixtape

With several lauded mixtapes, two #1 albums and a handful gold and platinum-selling singles on his résumé, J. Cole is eager now to use his still-rising status to let others shine.

On Tuesday night, just minutes before hitting the stage for his birthday concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City Cole treated his fans a to a brand-new mixtape, Revenge of the Dreamers.

But the 11-track online collection was more than a gift: The North Carolina native set up the tape largely to showcase his small yet talented Dreamville Records roster. The introduction comes at a perfect time, as the 29-year-old also announced that Dreamville had partnered with Interscope.

Revenge of the Dreamers kicks off with "Lil Ni--az (Snippet)," a 52-second Cole flip of Tupac's "Ambitionz Az a Ridah," before opening it up to the team to step to the plate.

First up is Bas, who paints verbal pictures of both where he's at and where he hopes to go on the aptly titled "Golden Goals." J. Cole fans may be familiar with Queens-raised Bas, who hit the road as an opener for the Roc Nation MC on his What Dreams May Come Tour. Bas was also featured on "New York Times," a Born Sinner bonus cut.

Though Bas has only been rapping for a few years — he dropped Quarter Water Raised Me Vol. I in 2011 and followed that up with Vol. II last year — the rapper's quick, seasoned flow suggests otherwise. Surely, the time spent around Cole hasn't hurt.

Next to take the baton is Omen. Longtime J. ...

J. Cole’s Chaining Day: Jay Z Hands Over Roc-A-Fella Diamonds At Birthday Show

J. Cole emerged on stage at the Madison Square Garden Theater Tuesday night wearing his Jesus piece, and exited just over two hours later wearing Jay Z's original Roc-A-Fella chain. Kendrick Lamar didn't have a diamond-encrusted hip-hop memento to hand over, but he also came out to praise the birthday boy.

Cole celebrated his 29th birthday during the entirety of the night, strolling in to Born Sinner's "Trouble," while sipping from a red Solo cup. Early on he treated fans to a full catalog spread, from "Land of the Snakes" and "Runaway," to "Blow Up" and "Nobody's Perfect," pausing to sip in between songs, but when he paused long enough the entire theater erupted into a round of "Happy Birthday."

By the time he got to "Forbidden Fruit" Cole was floating, using the line "I'ma drop the album same day as Kanye," as an opportunity to celebrate with fans the fact that he'd,"f---ed around and sold more albums than Kanye." It was the perfect high note for a K. Dot cameo.

Kendrick Lamar, fresh off a visit to the Grammys (that left his fans sorely disappointed), was all smiles and a burst of energy as he hit the stage to finish "Forbidden Fruit," and deliver "Backseat Freestyle," "M.A.A.d. City" plus one very moving speech. "[Cole] is one of the first cats to welcome me with open arms in this music business when I ain't know sh-- about it," he said. "So believe that, this is not no regular rapper friendship, this is my f---ing brother right here, J.Cole."

After this Cole recounted high ...
