ODB passed away in 2004, but he'll still be a part of Wu-Tang Clan's upcoming 20th anniversary album, A Better Tomorrow. According to Inspectah Deck, previously unheard Ol' Dirty Bastard material will appear on the record.

In a recent interview with The Line of Best Fit, Deck said: "RZA has a bunch of Ol' Dirty tracks and verses that for years nobody's heard and, from my last conversation [with RZA], we're supposed to have an Ol' Dirty track on there. It may be by itself or we might join it on to another song. But Ol' Dirty is going to be part of this album, that's a fact."

In the past, unreleased material belonging to ODB — in particular, his solo album, A Son Unique — was held up due to legal issues surrounding the rapper's estate. Deck doesn't mention in the interview who officially owns the material they plan to use on the record.

The record, on the whole, appears to be a bit up-in-the-air. MTV News spoke with Wu-Tang at Bonnaroo, where Ghostface Killah told us that even the title is not set in stone.

"We putting that all in the making right now. I don't know if that's gonna be the title," he said. "That got thrown out there like that, but we really putting it together as we speak. What we dealing with, we're gonna bless the world soon."

The Line of Best Fit also reports that while the album's release date was originally set in July, it now seems as though it will drop November.

It wouldn't be a "Vampire Diaries" season finale without a few twists and turns, and was chockablock, to say the least (hello, human Katherine!). But the episode's most head-scratching revelation had to be the fact that Mystic Falls is home to not one but two doppelgangers. Stefan is Silas' doppelganger!

When we had "Vampire Diaries" stars Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder on our couch at San Diego Comic-Con, we just had to ask about their reaction to this intriguing new plotline.

"I was very excited because I get to play two characters, so I get to go darker and do something completely different than what I've been doing for four years," Wesley said.

It's no secret Wesley's campaigned for Stefan to have an edge, and as pleased as he was with this new direction, he did admit to being a bit apprehensive about how loyal viewers would react.

"I was a little concerned that the fans would sort of think, 'Oh, we've already seen this before,' " he said in reference to co-star Nina Dobrev's dual roles of Elena Gilbert and Katherine Pierce. "Fortunately, it was such a positive reaction. Everybody was so excited."

"Because everybody was so bored with Stefan, because they're ecstatic now," Somerhalder chimed in.

"I think I was the #1 on that list," Wesley said.

"He's actually become his own super-fan," Somerhalder joked.

"I'm Silas' super fan," Wesley confirmed.

Of course, this new role will add an interesting wrinkle to the interplay between long-time co-stars and friends Wesley and Somerhalder.

"The scenes are really cool because it's such a different dynamic," Somerhalder explained. ...

Ariana Grande had no idea that when she hit the studio to record "Almost Is Never Enough" that it would snowball into what it's become today.

Now, not only is the love ballad a duet with The Wanted's Nathan Sykes, but also one of the songs featured on , alongside tracks by Colbie Caillat, AFI, Jessie J and Demi Lovato. When MTV News caught up with the singer, she broke down how it all came together.

"The version going on the 'Mortal Instruments' soundtrack is a much shorter version. The one that's on my [debut] album [Yours Truly, out September 3] is very long. But I'm really excited by it. And, honestly, I didn't know it was going to be a duet and [my manager] Scooter [Braun] just said 'Check your email'," she recalled, adding that a video will eventually be shot for it. (Braun also manages The Wanted.)

"And Nathan just sang the hell out of it. I thought it was Brian McKnight. I'm like 'Who is this?' Honestly I wasn't expecting it. I didn't know he had that in him. I saw him perform live on one of the radio shows that we were at together and I was like, 'Damn he can sing.' This song I think will pleasantly surprise a lot of people," she said. "It's very beautiful and very emotional and I love, love, love what Nathan did to it. It was a great, great, great surprise."

The surprises hardly ended there. Braun had one more surprise up his sleeve, the news that her track ...

"Bigger story, bigger monsters, bigger effects."

That's the promise Logan Lerman made to us about "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters," the follow-up to 2010's YA riff on Greek mythology. One look at the trailer we debuted last spring made clear Logan wasn't messing around.

A brand-new exclusive clip, however, shows off the quieter side of "Sea of Monsters" — though it's a side with stakes just as big. In the fresh footage, Camp Half-Blood — the training area where Lerman's Percy and his friends are holed up after the events of the first film — is under attack, and the demigod Annabeth Chase (Alexandra Daddario) and her half-human, half-goat satyr pal Grover (Brandon T. Jackson) have a plan to keep everyone safe. But the camp's head honcho, Dionysus, (a scene-stealing Stanley Tucci) isn't so keen on the idea.

"If you could just listen to me for one moment," Annabeth says.

"I am listening — you want to go on a quest," Dionysus replies. "Oh, it must be Thursday."

The quest she wants to go on is the one that propels "Sea of Monsters" forward — and the one that brings Percy and his friends face-to-face with those enormous monsters: they need to find the mythical Golden Fleece, which can heal anything, including the barrier that protects Half-Blood from attack.

Sipping his wine (as gods of wine are wont to do), Dionysus explains why this is not a smart plan — namely because of the prospect of near-certain death as one enters the Sea of Monsters, known to humans as the ...

Hugh Jackman has played Wolverine more times than any other actor has played a superhero — a grand total of seven, counting his turn in the upcoming sequel "X-Men: Days of Future Past." But the actor says that he initially got off to an awkward start in the role after he interpreted the behavior of an entirely different animal into his performance.

"I'm going to tell you a very embarrassing story," Jackman told MTV News' Josh Horowitz at the recent press day for "The Wolverine." "When I got there, I had three weeks before filming, and we were in Toronto. Not knowing what a wolverine was, or that it was a real animal, I was going past the IMAX, and I saw this IMAX showing of wolves. I was like, well, a wolverine is a wolf sort of thing, so I went in there, and that was where I got this thing of [facing] down like wolves smelling the ground while I'm looking."

Jackman starting doing his learned wolf moves to give his performance an animalistic edge. But he said he quickly met resistance from his "X-Men" director, Bryan Singer, who wasn't a fan of those wolf traits.

"Bryan Singer said to me at one point: 'It's a little weird physically. But it's interesting,' " he remembered. "And I said, 'Yeah, man, I've been studying wolves and I think if we could bring that to the screen,' and he goes, 'You're not a wolf, man, you're a wolverine!' "

Remarkably, that isn't ...

Austin Mahone is ready to pop and lock his way through a city near you this fall. The VMA-nominated singer will kick off his first-ever headlining tour, sponsored by MTV's Artist to Watch, on October 17 in Miami.

I'm excited and I'm ready to go," he said. "It's a huge honor to be nominated for Artist to Watch. It means I'm getting noticed out there ...

Although Jay Z "didn't sleep for two days" after the Trayvon Martin verdict, the rapper still maintains that our current generation of young people doesn't see color, and that gives him hope for the eventual mitigation of racism in our country.

When Hov recently sat down with hip-hop journalist Elliott Wilson, he expressed his distress over the verdict passed down on July 13, declaring George Zimmerman in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin.

"I was angry. I didn't sleep for two days," he said. "We all knew there was still a bit of racism in America but for it to be so blatant."

Jay also spoke about the prudence of Florida's Stand Your Ground Laws, scoffing, "You can have a fight with someone and they're running way, you can shoot them and kill them and you're fine? What?! Come on. Come on, man."

Despite his ire, however, Jay said that he thinks that the current crop of young people is much more evolved when it comes to racism. "This generation right now, they don't see color in that way," he said. "We're a bit removed from those racist feelings because again, it's hard to teach racism when your child is out [at] clubs. It's integrated and the music we listen to is the same."

Instead, Hov blames the "old guard and their old ideas and their stubborn ways and all that ego and that bullshit is still there, it still exists. You just hate to believe that."

Those sentiments closely match statements made by U.S. President Barack Obama during ...
