Pusha T represents Virginia to the fullest, but recently, while breaking down the lyrical content of his highly anticipated debut album, My Name Is My Name for MTV News, the G.O.O.D. Music rapper shared a little something about himself that might come as a surprise to fans.

"Me and my brother both were born in the Bronx," King Push told MTV News. "We lived on Gun Hill in Tilden Towers. A lot of people don't know that. I shy away from saying that because I don't want people to misconstrue that. I was raised in Virginia, and I don't want nobody thinking that I'm trying to claim something that I was only living in for two years or whatever, but this is truly where I was born."

Now it all makes sense. The MC's penchant for weaving complex metaphors and intricate rhymes about the streets is more than just a conscious decision on the acclaimed lyricist's part. Pusha's flow is proof of his innate ability to pay homage to the original wordsmiths on Sedgwick Avenue who shaped the "hip-hop haven" that he and his brothers grew up in hundreds of miles away in Virginia Beach.

"I didn't learn the art form of rapping in those different stages — I only knew to be as ill as you can be lyrically," he said. "It's all about creating that nostalgia. When it came to My Name Is My Name I said to myself, 'Man, I wanna make something that I love and I wanna listen to myself. I wanna go to ...

Attention, ladies! Drake is "single [and] ready to mingle." The Nothing Was the Same rapper confirmed his current relationship status when he stopped by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Friday (September 20).

Before he shared that he's "open," DeGeneres ran through a list of some A-list starlets and singers he's been romantically linked with since rising up the ranks of hip-hop. The discussion was met with some awkward laughing from the rapper, who eventually warmed up to the quiz and candidly opened up about his personal life.

DeGeneres kicked it off with a photo of Rihanna, whom Drake has been linked with on and off since 2009. "Yeah, great girl. We had our moment and I always support and have love for her," he said. As he stumbled through his answer a bit, DeGeneres asked him if he wanted to answer it again. He quipped, "I'm not into do-overs."

Then, Drake talked about going on a date with supermodel Tyra Banks. "Jeez. I went on a date with her one time, just one date. We went to Disneyland in disguise, actually, which was fun. I don't know if it was a date, it was a get-together. We're close as well."

In addition to the model/actress, the Toronto MC, 26, also dished about a date with "Two Broke Girls" star Kat Dennings, who had opened up about it to Chelsea Handler earlier this year.

"I just always had a huge crush on Kat Dennings, and she was kind enough one night to oblige me and we went out for dinner. ...

What's your earliest musical memory? At what point in time did you become aware that this thing we call music exists? Scottish synthpop band Chvrches told MTV News theirs — complete with terrifying "Wizard of Oz" flashbacks — before taking the stage Friday night (September 20) for MTV's Artist to Watch Live in New York City.

"My earliest musical memory was going to see an amateur production of 'The Wizard of Oz' at Whitburn Academy and having to be taken out at the interval because I was in tears because the music moved me so profoundly," said the band's Iain Cook, recalling when he first had a brush with tunes.

Bandmates Martin Doherty and Lauren Mayberry's first interactions, however, were less dramatic -- and both involved family car rides. "Mine is actually listening to Tango in the Night by Fleetwood Mac in the back of my parents' car," Doherty said. "Particularly the song 'Big Love.' Those vocal samples, they sounded weird. Just go listen to it. If you're at an impressionable age it's pretty interesting."

"I think I was going to go for a car memory as well," Mayberry added. "Just being in the back of the car with my parents listening to a lot of Steely Dan, Whitney Houston — stuff like that. So it's not quite as cool as Fleetwood Mac, but I don't really believe in cool, anyway."

Despite Mayberry's contention that she's not a believer in "cool," Chvrches are unmistakably so — at least where buzz is concerned. The band first captured the attention of the music world with ...

With Oscar season fast approaching, two big-name Hollywood actors have just become top contenders for awards thanks to their emotionally raw performances in the new movie

Hugh Jackman stars as Keller Dover, the father of one of two kidnapped girls who turns to a detective, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, for help. But when their only suspect, Paul Dano's creepy Alex Jones, comes off clean, Keller takes matters — and Alex Jones's life — into his own hands. The ensemble cast, which also includes Maria Bello, Viola Davis and Terrence Howard in standout roles, all ride a moral roller coaster as the hours without their young children stretch into days.

While critics went into "Prisoners" expecting it to be the typical Hollywood revenge film befitting such a star-studded cast, they left emotionally ravaged by the film's grisly twists and turns. Director Denis Villeneuve and cinematographer Roger A. Deakins devote their detail-oriented touch to accurately recounting every excruciating detail of this hellish ordeal, providing a film-going experience that is as engaging as it is horrifying. Critics have heaped praise on every member of the cast, calling this Jackman's best work to date. The film's subject matter may not be for everyone, but the talent on display here is impossible to ignore.

Read on for a sampling of "Prisoners" reviews.

Mainstream And Artful
"French-Canadian director Denis Villeneuve, who made 2010's captivating Oscar-nominated 'Incendies,' has fashioned a film that is both mainstream and artful. 'Prisoners' is infused with a poetic intensity that's rare in American thrillers. The closest cinematic comparisons would be 'Zodiac,' 'In the ...

Britney Spears is already hard at work promoting her upcoming Las Vegas residency, And in her latest interview, she's telling her Britney Army to prepare for "everything."

"Every time I do a show, I like to bring it. I love to be really entertained. Coming from the show aspect and coming from theater, I love to really put on a show, so we're going to have all the works... there's going to be snow, water, rain, everything," she told Ryan Seacrest on Friday (September 20) about the show kicking off December 27.

Spears will perform exclusively at Planet Hollywood for the next two years, meaning she cannot perform anywhere else in North America during that time. On Thursday, Kurt Melien, VP of entertainment at Caesars Entertainment told Billboard that the show will probably run upwards of 90 to 100 minutes, include both new music and 21 of her greatest hits, and have "Vegas-style production show, married with a dance club environment."

In addition to her Vegas show, Spears is also readying the December 3 release of her eighth studio album, which she described as "one of the most personal albums I've ever done." While she doesn't necessarily use the term in her everyday life, she gave fans a taste of what's to come with the album's lead single

"I think usually I tend to lean towards fun music. You want to listen to something that puts you in good spirits and I think most of my music is uplifting," she said of why fans ...

Wedding bells will soon be ringing for Big Time Rush's Carlos Pena and his fiancée, "Spy Kids" star Alexa Vega. The happy couple, who have been dating since last year, announced their engagement via Twitter last week, with Vega proudly showing off her stunning engagement ring. But little does Vega know, she's actually not the first person to sport the canary diamond stunner.

"I had it for a solid month," Pena told MTV News of the ring. "But one night we were all hanging out and Logan [Henderson] is like, 'Show me the ring,' and I'm like, 'Again?' So I go and get it out of my safe spot. I'm like, 'Here,' and Logan puts it on his pinkie and Logan is taking pictures with the ring on. I'm like, I can't wait to show her, and then all these guys are holding it."

Following the boy band's Big Time Summer Tour, Vega, who has previously been married, and Pena, along with his Big Time Rush bandmates and 25 friends and family, boarded a cruise to Jamaica and Cozumel, and it was there, on the first night, that Pena popped the question.

"I just have to say Carlos had a very nice speech and it started out with his dad giving a speech," BTR's Kendall Schmidt said. "And it was so cool, and he was like, 'Dad ...' and they had planned it, 'Dad, Dad, sit down, I'm going to finish it,' and then he did the speech."

Pena continued, "She had no idea, and then I called her ...

There were a lot of opinions flying around following Miley Cyrus's 2013 Video Music Awards and unapologetic trailer for her MTV documentary — now it seems that something has happened that rivals that event in buzzworthiness: the newest iPhone software update. And Miley, in addition to a passel of other stars, is primed to weigh in.

"I hate the iPhone update," Cyrus tweeted Thursday (September 19) after presumably updating her Apple device. The tweet spawned more than 14,000 retweets and 13,000 favorites.

Cyrus is referring to iOS 7, the latest iPhone software update, which includes a brand-new, cartoon-bright design as well as a variety of other tweaks and features. When it dropped on Apple devices Thursday, the update spawned a bevy of reactions on social media — some as vitriolic as Cyrus's, some more complimentary.

Techie actress Alyssa Milano, for one, was a fan of the update, tweeting: "It is beautiful but going to take some getting used to. #iphoneupdate." Christina Milian agreed: "I love this new #iOS7 software!!!!"

Chloë Grace Moretz fell more in the Cyrus camp in a tweet that rising star Lorde favorited: "I'm really frustrated with this iPhone update. It's. Too. Bright."

Ariana Grande live-tweeted her update experience, at first expressing trepidation — "terrified to update my iPhone" — then confusion, "Can someone please help me... How do I update my iPhone I can't even figure it out I'm so behind." Finally — after a plethora of fans came to her aid and she mastered the update ...

Before he descends upon Earthly theaters as the Asgardian Avenger Thor, Chris Hemsworth will surely turn heads with his portrayal of real-life Formula One driver James Hunt, who — alongside his main competitor Niki Lauda — grabbed national headlines during the high-stakes 1976 racing season. Daniel Brühl stars as Lauda, the Austrian driver that racing fans loved to hate. In contrast, Hemsworth portrays Hunt, a big, blonde, English playboy that you might end up hating to love. Behind the camera is Ron Howard, who takes Formula One racing — a subject that's failed to grab America's attention for nearly four decades — and uses it to expertly dive into the psyches of two incredibly nuanced and incredibly opposite individuals.

Critics are united in their praise for "

Full Color Characters
" 'Rush,' which is serious without being self-serious, fun without being trivial, feels like the movie that he has been waiting to make his whole life — it's no wonder that he climbs into the cockpits with the camera again and again. Having a good script makes a difference, as does a brilliant cinematographer like Anthony Dod Mantle, who, shooting in digital, paints the screen in stunning, saturated colors that put the story's extremes into vivid terms. There are no washed-out tones or characters here." — Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

Ron Howard At His Best
" 'Sexy' and 'stylish' are not the adjectives that usually come to mind when describing the blandly middlebrow output of director Ron Howard. But whether it's the racing ...

Thursday started out like any other tour day for Ed Sheeran. The British singer is currently wrapping up his opening gig on the U.S. leg of pal Taylor Swift's Red Tour, and just before showtime, he snapped a pic — like he always does — of the crowd. But at some point ... things began to go downhill.

"Last 3 days in America," Sheeran tweeted before sharing a photo of all the fans that had filled Nashville's Bridgestone Arena for the first of three nights at the venue.

After the show, Sheeran hit up a karaoke bar with Gavin DeGraw, joining the "I Don't Wanna Be" singer for a duet. But not long afterward, Ed uploaded two photos showing his bloody, bandaged hand. He didn't explain the cause of his mysterious injury, other than to tweet "oops." Apparently the red-haired singer was taken to a hospital emergency room, which he noted using the British abbreviation, A&E.

Sheerios took to the Instagram comments section, leaving notes that ranged from baffled ("How the f---'d you manage that lad ?") to humorous ("I guess that's what you get for being on the 'Red' tour") to concerned ("ED BBY ARE YOU OKAY LEMMI KISS IT").

Then as if that wasn't enough, the "Lego House" singer was dealt another setback. "And now a flat tyre. This night is epic," he wrote.

"Epic" might not be the best way to describe Sheeran's streak of bad luck, but it definitely captures what we thought after seeing the photo of Ed and none other than Rick Ross hanging out earlier this ...
