Sure, most people thank their mom, or God, or their fans or even the director of their video when they win a Moonman at the VMAs.

But after a five-year absence from the lineup during their hiatus, Fall Out Boy have much different plans in mind for the August 25 2013 MTV Video Music Awards from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

"I feel like the VMAs is where ... if felt like our band was first embraced or recognized is some ways," said bassist Pete Wentz of the broadcast. "So it's really exciting to come full circle. Especially because this group of videos is really important to us and is really important to the story of the album."

The boys are nominated in the Best Rock Video category for the clip, which features 2 Chainz and his henchwomen dramatically setting fire to a pile of FOB albums and then trashing all their equipment with a blowtorch. Their competition includes Imagine Dragons ("Radioactive"), Mumford & Sons ("I Will Wait"), Thirty Seconds to Mars ("Up in the Air") and Vampire Weekend ("Diane Young").

It's their first trip back to the big show since 2008, when they were nominated in the same category for the song "Beat It."

And, if their name is called next month, Wentz told the rest of the band that he has some self-congratulatory expectations for them. "If we win anything for this damn record I want you to go on stage and say, 'Thank you ... us!'"

Jay-Z tried rap retirement once and it didn't work out so well for the veteran MC, so don't expect Hov to hang up his mic any time soon. There are still albums he intends to get out — including one in particular with Kanye West.

"There's always Kanye and Watch the Throne 2," Jay said during the final installment of his interview with the BBC's Zane Lowe.

Hov, who released his 12th solo album, Magna Carta Holy Grail on July 4, says that he had a good time working with 'Ye on their 2011 collaboration. He has been talking about doing a sequel since almost immediately after the first Watch the Throne was released, and lately the talks have picked up.

"You might see a Jay, then Kanye and a Throne album next year. You know, we're really in a great place creatively. We really found our zone," Hov told MTV News in December 2011.

It took a little longer than Jay predicted, but fans have since gotten the two solo albums and another Throne album would surely be welcomed. The two collaborators certainly have chemistry.

"It actually was really easy, because of the relationship. It's always been a big brother thing and a respect thing. It's always a good experience," he said of working with West, who dropped his solo album Yeezus in June. "He's going to challenge everything because he's really trying to test it and poke holes to make sure that it stands up. I admire that. It kind of works for me."

During the interview, Lowe asked ...

San Diego Comic-Con is off to a blazing start, with a number of the hottest, most-anticipated YA properties (we see you, "Divergent"!) firing up exclusive first looks, and the next few days promise more of the same.

To wit, on Saturday (July 20), Lionsgate will march out its box-office victor "The Hunger Games" to debut a brand-new trailer from the series sequel "Catching Fire", during a Hall H panel with the cast.

The first look, which premiered during this year's MTV Movie Awards, was heavy on pre-Quarter Quell action, following Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) on the Victory Tour trail, while hinting at the unrest growing throughout Panem and the dastardly solution being hatched by ruling President Snow (Donald Sutherland).

Now, if the "Catching Fire" roll-out follows the same model as "The Hunger Games," we shouldn't expect too much arena-centric footage in this new look, as that's usually reserved for the film's debut. But it's not out of the question to expect this second trailer to be much more tribute-centric. With that in mind, here are five things we hope to see among the new "Catching Fire" clips:

The Yellow Envelope
"I volunteer as Tribute!" will no doubt be one of the most indelible movie lines for years to come, and though Katniss' selection for the 75th annual Hunger Games is much less melodramatic — she finds out through a televised announcement — it's just as chilling, not to mention a necessary moment to set up a Games-focused trailer.

As summer temperatures heat up, so do the teases for Justin Bieber's next single, "Heartbreaker." The 19-year-old gave fans a juicy glimpse at the first cut from his in the late hours of Thursday night when he sang the song's first line a cappella in a post on Instagram, sending the Internet swooning into the night.

While fans still have a lot of questions about the single — like, when are they going to hear it? — MTV News has rounded up what we know about it so far. So press play on that Instagram teaser and study up.

Let's Get It On
The first lyric from the highly anticipated tune is right in line with Bieber's penchant for romantic "Hey Girl"-like sentiments. He tantalized fans with, "Ooh, girl, I got a secret place that we can go/ 'Cause girl, I really want to be alone/ And, baby, nobody else got to know ..."

The Key to Your Heart
With that lyric serving as the latest clue, earlier this week, Beiber teased some of the actual song in the commercial for his perfume, The Key. It's a straight-up R&B-influenced track, with a beat that sounds like it would be comfortable on a Drake track and a sexy groove to match it. During it, Bieber repeats the word "heartbreaker." So, maybe she didn't want to slip away with him after all?

Purple Heart(Breaker)
Bieber first amped up his fans about the song when he released the cover art for the track on Instagram back in June. The single artwork didn't feature Bieber's likeness, but ...

On Thursday afternoon, Ballroom 20 at the San Diego Convention Center was given over to the commemoration of a television milestone: the 20th anniversary of "The X-Files." The Comic-Con; panel, hosted by TV Guide, featured many of the show's writer/producers, who have since gone on to helm series of their own. Vince Gilligan ("Breaking Bad"), Howard Gordon ("Homeland") and James Wong ("American Horror Story") were among those in attendance, as well as "X-Files" creator Chris Carter, who also co-wrote its two feature films.

The loudest applause was reserved for the series' two leads, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, who played the show's pair of FBI agents, E.T. believer Fox Mulder and skeptical scientist Dana Scully. Duchovny and Anderson walked onto the darkened stage holding flashlights — implements regularly used by their "X-Files" characters as they investigated paranormal phenomena.

The panelists talked about their favorite moments and characters from the show, discussed its lasting legacy and even introduced a surprise guest: Producer John Shiban brought his son Jerry, who as an infant portrayed Mulder and Scully's baby, William, out from backstage to wave a quick hello. But they got the biggest audience reaction whenever the possibility of a third "X-Files" movie was mentioned.

Both actors expressed a willingness to make one. "The show was so flexible and could encompass so many different ideas," Duchovny said. "I always thought whenever we can do it, come back together, we would. So we will."

Anderson rejected the idea of bringing back "The X-Files" as a limited series like "24" is doing. "But a film would be ...

"Based on a true story." Horror fans are very used to hearing those words by now. But filmmaker James Wan didn't take the phrase lightly in his latest effort,

Wan's new thriller, in theaters now, takes place in the 1970s and tells the story of real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Warrens were at the heart of several supernatural studies in their time, and "The Conjuring" focuses on one such case, dealing with a haunted Rhode Island farmhouse. Lorraine Warren is still alive today, and was consulted thoroughly throughout the making of "The Conjuring."

"I wanted to wear the 'based on a true story' label with a lot of pride," Wan told MTV News. "I wanted to be proud of that, I wanted it to be something I could really get behind. So we really researched and talked to the parents and to Lorraine Warren about every little thing, to build a world that I could get their stamp of approval on. If I can convince them, then I've done my job making a movie that pays respect to where they're from."

As the director of "Saw" and "Insidious," Wan is more than familiar with the horror genre. He's created outlandish ghosts and nefarious villains in his time. But with "The Conjuring," Wan sought something different for his latest form of terror: something real.

"I really wanted to ground the movie as much as I could," he said. "I honestly really believe that if I ground the movie as much as I can, the scares are much more effective."
