Soap Dish: Days of Our Lives Revamped and Rockin!
This week episodes of the revamped Days of Our Lives began airing and they have been freaking awesome so far. Yes my friends the Days that I could never miss an episode of are back, woohoo! If you missed any of this week?s Days of Our Lives then you missed a lot. From the great new set, the Horton Town Square, which is an amazing tribute to the couple that has always and will always be the heart of the show Tom and Alice Horton, to all the returning fan favorites it has been a must see week in Salem. There is so much to dish about I don?t even know where to begin. I guess it will be with the return of one of my favorite characters Jack. Jennifer in Salem is not the same without Jack and now that he is back I can?t wait to see these two go at it again, in more ways than one if you know what I mean. I did feel kind of bad for him when Abby and Jennifer were reading him the riot act but hey that is just good TV. I am also pleased with the return of John, [...]
Seth Rogen: 'I Smoke A Lot Of Weed When I Write'
'I think way more people smoke weed than the media likes to acknowledge,' actor tells MTV News.

"That dude gave me the greatest gift I've had in the last five years," Kevin Smith told MTV News earlier this year about his "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" star Seth Rogen.
Smith wasn't talking about some meaningful postproduction keepsake — say, the bubble-blowing ring ex-porn star Traci Lords uses for unclean purposes in the movie — but rather a joint Rogen and the filmmaker shared on the last day of shooting in 2008. "We sat back, watched some footage and sat there smoking," Smith explained. "And I loved who I was."
Smith is now a gleeful proponent of weed, which he credits with spurring the most creatively productive years of his career, and Rogen is happy, as he put it recently to MTV News, to take credit for Smith "being stoned all the time."
"I either get people started smoking weed or I put them out of business smoking weed," Rogen added with a laugh while promoting "50/50," a comedy about a young guy with cancer in which the actor and co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt's characters get high for suspect medicinal purposes. "I'm either your first or last."
While Smith credits pot as a sort of mind-expanding artistic gateway, Rogen says he lights up to ease the drudgery of the creative process. "I smoke a lot of weed when I write, generally speaking," he told us. "I don't know if it helps me write. It makes me not mind that I'm writing. And I don't know if it makes me work better, but it makes me not care that I'm working. Who wants to work? But if you're stoned, it doesn't seem like work."
To help you work better, to make you forget you're actually working, to just have a good ol' time — why and when people get blazed may differ. But Rogen is convinced that no matter how it goes down, it's most certainly going down (and up in smoke).
"I think a lot of people smoke weed," he said. "I think way more people smoke weed than the media likes to acknowledge. Maybe it's just the people I'm around, but I don't think so. Pretty much everyone that I know smokes weed sometimes — with the exception of my parents."
Check out everything we've got on "50/50."

'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close' Trailer: Sandra Bullock & Tom Hanks Star
When Jonathan Safran Foer released Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close in 2005, he helped usher in a new wave of post-9/11 literature. Now the movie adaptation -- starring Hollywood A-listers Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock, as well as newcomer Thomas Horn -- is hitting theaters just months after the 10-year anniversary of the infamous terrorist attacks. Will it spark a new round of post-Sept. 11 movies? That remains to be seen, but you can watch the brand-new trailer below! (We dare you not to tear up.)
The film, which opens in limited release on Christmas Day, follows 9-year-old Oskar Schell (Horn) -- a boy who, as he explains in the trailer, sees the world differently than everyone else. After his father (Hanks) dies in the collapse of the Twin Towers, Oskar sets off on a quest to find the mysterious lock-box his dad left him the key to... and perhaps find a way to cope with his loss as well.
Like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Marley & Me, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is a certified Christmas tear-jerker. In addition to the sob-inducing plot (if there's anyone who finished reading the book with a dry eye, we have yet to meet them), the movie has a pedigree that's the stuff of Oscar dreams.
Director Stephen Daldry is best known for Billy Elliot and The Reader, and screenwriter Eric Roth was responsible for the screenplay for David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Add to that the all-star cast of Hanks, Bullock, Viola Davis, James Gandolfini and John Goodman, and you've got yourself a certified cinematic win -- and an undeniable Oscar contender.

Usher Collaborator Rico Love Calls Kelly Rowland's 'Motivation' 'Truly Organic'
Lil Wayne 'jumped on it,' Raymond v. Raymond writer tells Mixtape Daily.

Behind the Beats: Rico Love
If more people read the credits behind some of R&B's biggest hits, Rico Love should be a household name. Born Richard Preston Butler Jr., the former Florida A&M University student is now one of the music industry's most-sought-after singer/songwriters.
After writing hits for Usher ("There Goes My Baby"), Beyoncé ("Sweet Dreams") and Diddy-Dirty Money ("Hello Good Morning"), to name a few, one of Rico's biggest hits to date is Kelly Rowland's "Motivation."
"It came about in a truly organic way," Rico told Mixtape Daily of the Jim Jonsin-produced "Motivation." "We had this meeting in New York: myself and Sylvia [Rhone] and Kelly. And they just were saying, 'We need to find that single; we need that big single.' Everybody was asking for an uptempo, actually.
"I flew down to Miami the next day, and that Tuesday, we got back in the studio, and Jim started playing these chords, and then coming up with these little sounds — the signature sounds that Jim comes up with. I just told him to lay it like a skeleton idea, and I jumped in the booth, and I started with the verse, and I kind of sang my way all the way through the record."
Rowland, formerly of Destiny's Child, was in the studio while Rico was laying down the reference track and made her regard for the song known immediately. "Kelly was there and watched the whole process," Rico recalled. "As soon as I finished singing the demo, usually an artist wants to live with it or listen to it for a little while. She just said, 'I want to cut it right now.' So she jumped in the booth, and we cut the record."
"Motivation" became the lead single for Rowland's third album, Here I Am, which was released in April. The song, which peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, features a verse from Lil Wayne.
"Lil Wayne got out of jail a few days later, and as soon as he got out of jail, [Rowland] went to see him, and he jumped on it," Rico explained. "It was the most organized situation ever. It was nothing contrived about it."
There's been nothing manufactured about Rico's accomplishments either. Starting his musical career as a rapper, he has signed former Roc-a-Fella rapper Young Chris to his Universal/Motown-distributed Division 1 label.
After leaving Florida A&M to pursue music, Rico caught the attention of Usher, and penned songs for the R&B singer, including "Throwback." Other artists soon benefitted from his songwriting, including T.I., Pleasure P and Mario. Rico takes pride in being versatile with his talents, preferring not to make specific songs intended for specific artists only.
"Sometimes, when you keep an artist in mind, you'll limit yourself," Rico explained. "You won't go a place that they probably would go because you're thinking, "Nah, she wouldn't say this," or "He wouldn't do this," or "He wouldn't say this," and "This melody is out of the way for them."
"When I get a chance to just get into the studio and just write music and just produce music and sit at the piano and tell a guy where I want to hear the chords and create the progressions and just freely make music, it's a lot more fun."
Lately, Rico has been back in the studio with Usher. In 2007, he was signed to the singer's former US Records via J Records. But his debut album was never released, and he and Usher went their separate ways.
But as Rico become a songwriting force, the two eventually started working together again. The first song they recorded was the Grammy-winning "There Goes My Baby" from 2010's Raymond v. Raymond. Now, Rico is working on Usher's forthcoming album and embracing the pressure of surpassing its predecessor's platinum sales and critical success.
"I feel like this is what separates the boys from the men," Rico said of working with Usher. "This week, we been creating records together. We had two mics, two headphones set up in the booth, and we just sit there and vibe out.
"These first few days have been amazing. We got four records cut so far that sound super amazing. I'm super excited about it. I'm just anxious for the world to hear it."

Emma Watson, 'Perks' Co-Stars Do 'New Class' Boogie In Exclusive First Look
'I was waiting for this story, for this script, for this moment, for these people to do it with me,' Watson says of 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower.'
By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz
Emma Watson

The post-"Harry Potter" education of Emma Watson began, in a way, at Brown University. Searching for her first film after completing the boy-wizard franchise, the Ivy League actress found some unlikely career advisors in the form of her fellow college students, who told her that she simply had to sign up for "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," an adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's seminal novel.
"Honestly, I had never read the book before, but a lot of my friends at Brown were hugely into it, and when I told them I had this script, they were crazy excited," Watson told MTV News.
And just that like, through the pop-culture schooling of her peers, she'd found a flick to carry her away from Hogwarts and toward a Hollywood second act. It's fitting, then, that with "Perks" on her résumé, we've selected Watson as a member of MTV News' New Class — actors and actresses about to graduate toward greatness. The 21-year-old finds herself in good company on the movie, whose cast contains so many soon-to-break-big talents that we selected a bunch of her co-stars as her New Class cohorts.
We've dubbed Watson "Most Likely to Win an Oscar." Nina Dobrev ("The Vampire Diaries") is our Next Style Icon. Logan Lerman ("Percy Jackson & the Olympians" and the upcoming "Three Musketeers") is Most Likely to Make You Swoon, and Ezra Miller (Sundance eye-opener "Another Happy Day" and Cannes selectee "We Need to Talk About Kevin") is Most Likely to Win an Independent Spirit Award. Together they're bringing a beloved teen novel to the screen. And when we visited the film's Pittsburgh set earlier this year, all four of them were well aware of the expectations surrounding the project and professed themselves lucky to be involved.
"I feel incredible about it. I feel like I've been waiting for 'Perks,' " Watson said. "I was waiting for this story, for this script, for this moment, for these people to do it with me. I'm so glad I didn't do anything that I didn't care about."
Watson plays Sam, a high school senior who, along with Miller's Patrick, introduces Lerman's freshman Charlie to a world of sex, drugs and awkward adolescence. "I definitely tapped into some awkward childhood memories for this movie," Lerman explained. "It's been a year and a half since I first signed on to the project, so to be out here making it is a pretty big deal for me. It's cool to be working with this great cast of young actors."
Dobrev, on a break from "Vampire Diaries," echoed those sentiments. "Every hiatus, my goal is to try something different, and this is a small part in a great, fun indie that has a great script," she said of playing Charlie's sister. "It's been fun to meet such great new people. Everyone really gets along and is really friendly and fun."
Their subject matter, it should be said, is not all fun or funny. When when we showed up on set the stars were filming a raucous school-dance sequence set to "Come on Eileen," but "Perks" takes on potentially controversial material about suicide, drug use and sexuality. These may be divisive topics to some, but ask any teen and he or she will say it's all part of their world.
"I don't think there will be one teenager who will watch this and not have one story or one moment that they don't deeply feel they can relate to," Watson said.

Lady Gaga Honors Jamey Rodemeyer At iHeartRadio Festival

Just days after once again speaking out against bullying, Lady Gaga dedicated a moving version of "Hair" to teen Jamey Rodemeyer at the iHeartRadio music festival in Las Vegas on Saturday. The gay teen committed suicide last week after enduring years of bullying by his school peers, inspiring Gaga to tweet that she was going to meet with President Obama to encourage him to pass legislation outlawing bullying.
Following up on her promise, Gaga attended an Obama fundraiser in Los Angeles over the weekend, where a source told MTV News last week that she was expected to bring up the topic if the two were able to get a moment together. According to The Associated Press, Gaga was among the guests at an intimate Sunday night gathering at the home of Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg, wearing a sleeveless gown and high heels. A spokesperson for Gaga had not returned requests for comment at press time inquiring about whether the meeting of the minds had taken place.
The two-night iHeartRadio festival unfolded at the MGM Grand in Vegas and featured sets from Jay-Z, the Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Bruno Mars, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Lopez and Usher.

"We lost a Little Monster this week," Gaga said of the 14-year-old Rodemeyer during the show, as a picture of the teen was shown on a screen onstage. "I wrote this record about how your identity is really all you've got when you're in school ... so tonight, Jamey, I know you're up there looking at us, and you're not a victim ... you're a lesson to all of us. I know it's a bit of a downer, but sometimes the right thing is more important than the music."
The Amherst Police Department has opened a criminal investigation into Rodemeyer's death and is considering harassment, cyberharassment and hate crimes charges against a number of teens who may have been involved in bullying Jamey.

Coldplay, Rihanna, Evanescence Lead Fall Albums
Joe Jonas, Kelly Clarkson and Nickelback also on tap for new albums.
By Gil Kaufman
Rihanna

There's a very good reason why so many big albums come out in the last quarter of the year: In the run-up to the holidays, lots of kids, moms, dads and grandparents truck down to the local megamart looking for good stocking stuffers.
And this year's bumper crop cuts across all genres and classifications, including fall albums from Coldplay, Kelly Clarkson, Evanescence, Feist, Wilco, Drake, Nickelback, Rihanna, J. Cole, Mastodon, Joe Jonas, Mary J. Blige, Rick Ross, Nas, Florence and the Machine, and "American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery.
Here's a breakdown by genre of the ones to watch for (with release dates subject to change):
Pop
We've been hearing about Kelly Clarkson's Stronger (October 24) for more than a year now. The original "American Idol" winner brings the drama in and out of the studio, as each of her recent albums seems to come wrapped in some fresh controversy. Determined to get her vision out, Clarkson survived a series of leaks earlier this year and made a solid chart debut with her tell-off first single, "Mr. Know It All." With a bit of urban bounce, some country, pop and a dash of soul, Clarkson's fifth LP promises to be one of the season's highlights.
Rihanna has been releasing albums at a torrid pace, with one every year since 2005 except for 2008. Her follow-up to 2010's Loud is reportedly due later this year, and a new Calvin Harris-produced single, "We Found Love," is due to hit radio on October 11.
All-grown-up Joe Jonas will drop his solo debut, the dance-inflected Fast Life, on October 11, "X Factor" judge Nicole Scherzinger is expected to finally release her long-delayed solo album Killer Love on November 15, and new albums are also due from soul man Mayer Hawthorne (How Do You Do, October 11) and adorable indie duo She & Him (the holiday-themed A Very She & Him Christmas, October 25).
Black Eyed Peas leader will.i.am is also reportedly prepping a solo effort for November, and this year's "Idol" winner, country teen Scotty McCreery, will unleash his debut, Clear as Day (October 4), as will runner-up Lauren Alaina. In addition, former Fall Out Boy singer Patrick Stump will drop his solo debut, Soul Punk (October 18), and the end of the year may also see the release of the frequently pushed-back first album from ex-FOB bassist/lyricist Pete Wentz's new dance act, Black Cards.
Hip-Hop
The next few months will see big albums from the Bawse and the Apprentice, as Rick Ross returns with God Forgives, I Don't in November, his fifth album and follow-up to hit Teflon Don. Before that, Drake will fire it up for the second time with Take Care (October 24), which features guest spots from Ross, Weezy and the Weeknd and songs including the drunk-dial tale "Marvin's Room" and "Headlines."
Young Jeezy's long-gestating Thug Motivation 103 is due in October, reportedly complete with more positive messages on tunes like "Shake Life" and "Never Be the Same." Also look for new music from Common, Wale, Nas and Yelawolf.
R&B
Seventeen years after the breakthrough original, Mary J. Blige will offer My Life II (November 21), with production by Kanye West and Swizz Beatz and a cameo verse from her rap alter ego, Brooklyn, on the tune "Midnight Drive."
Also, R&B vet Monica plans a comeback with New Life and English singer Taio Cruz is planning to be back in November with an as-yet-untitled second collection of sure-to-be smashes produced by the likes of Dr. Luke, David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia. Look for new music from Jason Derülo and hook mistress Dev as well.
Rock and More
Former pop-punk icons Blink-182 have already kicked off the season for guitar slingers with their reunion disc, Neighborhoods, but that's just the appetizer to Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto, which, in addition to a cryptic title, will feature a cameo from Rihanna.
Evanescence will storm back with a self-titled album of gothic rockers, their first in five years, including the first single "What You Want." One of the most unusual discs on tap is an album-length collaboration between punk icon Lou Reed and Metallica entitled Lulu (November 1), which is sure to crunch way more bones than Canadian singer Feist's more sedate Metals.
Flame-haired Florence Welch has promised that the second album from her band, Florence + the Machine, will be tougher and feature more heavy guitars and beats, which is guaranteed on the new one from Nickelback, Here and Now (November 11).
If that's not enough for you, country superstar Miranda Lambert is setting up her fourth album, Four the Record (November 1), Icelandic conundrum Björk will drop Biophilia (October 11) and French house duo Justice will spin out Audio, Video, Disco (October 25).
What fall albums are you most excited about? Let us know in comments below!

Jonah Hill 'Not Mad' At 'Lion King' Triumph Over 'Moneyball'
'If everyone goes to see a movie that's 20 years old ... they're just going to re-release 20-year-old movies,' Hill jokes about his box-office competition.

Even though Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill's well-received "Moneyball" wasn't able to conquer Disney's re-release of "The Lion King" at the box office over its opening weekend, Hill isn't worried about the potential for continued success of the underdog- and baseball-themed flick. He's worried about what message that might send to studio executives.
"I'm not mad at 'The Lion King,' " Hill said with sincerity and a smile. "I just think if everyone goes to see a movie that's 20 years old getting re-released, they're just going to re-release 20-year-old movies instead of making new original movies, and that would be a shame."
But even more newsworthy than the film's box-office haul is all the early awards buzz it is getting, specifically the positive attention Hill's performance has received. When we asked the 27-year-old what it might mean to be recognized for his work with an Oscar or Golden Globe nomination, he wasn't sure how to react just yet.
"I don't know, I don't know. I'm just really proud of the movie. Stuff like that is crazy when you hear someone ask you that question legitimately," he said. "It's really flattering and cool, but for me the whole experience has been wonderful and I'm already as proud as I would be would I get to be up for an award. I've never been up for any award in my life ... actually an MTV award [Best Comedic Performance and Best Newcomer noms for "Superbad"], so that was already exciting enough for me.
"I don't know," he continued. "Basically it's just a crazy, insane question to be asked and you don't really know what to say when someone asks you that kind of question."
No matter what happens over the course of the next few months, Hill is proud of his performance and excited that "Moneyball" is exposing him to new audiences outside of those who know him from his work in comedies.
"What's interesting to me is that it's been completely different audiences [going to see "Moneyball"]. The audiences who would see "Superbad" or "Get Him to the Greek" or "The Sitter" hasn't been the audience that's seen "Moneyball" so far. The fortunate thing for me is that I'm getting a much older audience to understand me as an actor."
Check out everything we've got on "Moneyball."

Usher To Donate Gadhafi Money To Charity
'I will be donating all of my personal proceeds...to various human rights organizations,' singer says of concert linked to Libyan dictator.
By Shawn Adler

R&B superstar Usher announced Friday (March 4) that he was donating to various charities proceeds from appearing at a private event at St. Barts linked to Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, according to a statement made to the Associated Press.
The Grammy award winner's renouncement comes after similar announcements from singers Mariah Carey, Nelly Furtado, and Beyoncé, all of whom were revealed to have performed at private concerts linked to the Middle Eastern leader, who has faced open revolt and major political uprisings since February.
"I am sincerely troubled to learn about the circumstances surrounding the Nikki Beach St. Bart's event that took place on New Year's Eve 2009," Usher said of the concert, at which he appeared alongside Beyoncé but did not perform. "I will be donating all of my personal proceeds from that event to various human rights organizations."
Usher has already begun the process, having made a donation to Amnesty International, the AP reports. The exact size of the donation is not known.
The New Year's Eve gig was reportedly for Moammar's fourth son Muastassim, who an unnamed music industry source told MTV News has a history of throwing lavish parties "jammed" with supermodels.
Beyoncé, who sang at the event, donated all proceeds from her performance to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, established in the wake of the Haitian earthquake.
"All monies paid to Beyoncé for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St. Barts on New Year's Eve 2009, including the commissions paid to her booking agency, were donated to the earthquake relief efforts for Haiti over a year ago," the "Halo" singer's publicist said in a statement to The Huffington Post. "Once it became known that the third-party promoter was linked to the Qaddafi family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause."
Singer Nelly Furtado tweeted February 28 that she plans to make similar amends.
"In 2007, I received 1million$ from the Gadhafi clan to perform a 45 min. show for guests at a hotel in Italy," she tweeted. "I am going to donate the $."
The leader of Libya since a successful military coup in 1969, Gadhafi has reportedly lost control of much of his country as a result of widespread uprisings. The United Nations voted unanimously to refer the dictator to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.

'Twilight' Newcomers The Joy Formidable Surprised By Spot On Soundtrack
'I haven't seen the films,' frontwoman Ritzy Bryan confesses, despite landing lead-off track on 'Breaking Dawn' soundtrack.

There are some bands prepared for the increased attention that a spot on a "Twilight" soundtrack brings. And then there are bands like voluminous rockers the Joy Formidable who, despite snagging the opening slot on the upcoming "Breaking Dawn" soundtrack, remain blissfully unaware of everything to come. Or, really, everything about the "Twilight" series, for that matter.
"I can't say I've ever read one. I haven't seen the films either, but I have heard the soundtracks, and I was familiar with some of the songs, you know, Metric and the Black Keys," frontwoman Ritzy Bryan told MTV News. "So I was more aware of the musical side of 'Twilight' than I was the books or the movies. Actually, I know very little [about the books]. I know they're about vampires, and I know they've connected very much with an audience ... so they're obviously much enjoyed by a lot of people."
And yet, despite all that, their contribution to the "Breaking Dawn" soundtrack — a ringing, downright desperate song called "Endtapes" that will be the album's lead-off track — fits seamlessly; mostly because, as Bryan explained, it is very much about the themes that remain central to the "Twilight" series.
"The song was written at the same time as our album, and because of that, it has a lot of the tone and the feel of the album. And those songs, there's a lot of turbulence going on, and it definitely chronicles a year that was very turbulent on one hand, but you know, it's me trying to push for that hope and that sense of optimism," she said. "It's a song that captures that spirit. It's a song about the frustration of not being able to have closure on a difficult situation."
And given that, unlike fellow "Breaking Dawn" artist Christina Perri, she's basically oblivious to the entire "Twilight" phenomenon, Bryan has no idea where "Endtapes" will be used in the upcoming "Breaking Dawn" film ... shoot, she's not even sure she and her bandmates will get invited to the premiere. That doesn't mean they wouldn't go, of course.
"I don't know anything about that! If we get an invite, I wouldn't mind going to the cinema. I haven't been to the cinema for such a long time," she laughed. "We've been perpetually on the road for about a year and a half, and we watch lots and lots of DVDs in our van, but a trip to the cinema would be wonderful. I would have to do some laundry, but that would be fine!"

'Dancing With The Stars' Says Ciao To Elisabetta Canalis
David Arquette and Chaz Bono join George Clooney's ex in bottom three.

In the final minutes of Tuesday night's "Dancing With the Stars" elimination show, it was George Clooney's ex-girlfriend who was given the boot.
Elisabetta Canalis and her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, were eliminated after landing in the bottom three alongside David Arquette and Kym Johnson and Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer.
The Italian actress and host seemed a bit jarred when it was revealed she was the contestant leaving in week two, considering that she and her partner had impressed the judges with a big improvement from last week.
"I'm not going to say much. I'm just going to say this: It's not great, but it was better than last week," head judge Len Goodman said before scoring her Monday. Tonioli disagreed, saying, "The gears were grinding, the engines were hot. The pistols were pumping. Keep working."
Canalis ultimately scored 21 out of 30, which placed her right in the middle of the pack and above Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Arquette and Johnson, Carson Kressley and Anna Trebunskaya and Bono and Schwimmer.
Canalis, who looked to be holding back tears, expressed how much she enjoyed her short time on the show: "I want to thank everybody, because they made me come here! Thanks to the public and everybody who voted for us. It was a great experience."
Chmerkovskiy, a newcomer who also is Maksim's younger brother, said he was very proud of his celeb partner. "I wish I did better for you. But I'm very lucky to be here," he said.

Hart Of Dixie Pilot Recap
Rachel Bilson?s new medical drama Hart of Dixie aired last night on the CW. Cute, quirky, and entertaining, the new show looks like it has the potential to stick around.

Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Nirvana Among O Music Award Nominees
Katy Perry, Odd Future, Demi Lovato will also face off on October 31 in categories like Oops! I Did It Online and Fan Army FTW.
By Gil Kaufman

The list of nominees runs from Justin Bieber to Courtney Love, Britney Spears, Scissor Sisters, Katy Perry, Bjork, Nirvana, Dolly Parton and Snoop Dogg, and that can only mean one thing: It must be time for the O Music Awards again.
When MTV launched its first-annual digital music celebration earlier this year, we promised that it would be like no other awards show, with trophies handed out before, after and during the show, as well as throughout the year.
Sticking to that plan, the O Awards will return for a second round on October 31, with some of the new categories coming courtesy of user suggestions.
Among the five new user-generated categories are "Oops! I Did It Online," in which over-sharing celebs such as Sinead O'Connor and T-Pain will face off against the Game and Courtney Love; and Best Artist with a Cameraphone, which pits Demi Lovato against Bieber, Young the Giant, Katy Perry, the Deftones and Shiny Toy Guns. The other new categories include Best Web Born Artist (MNDR, Odd Future, the Weeknd), Best Vintage Viral Video (Metallica, Nirvana, Notorious B.I.G., O'Connor) and Best Lyrics Video (Perry, Joe Jonas, Lenny Kravitz, Christina Perri).
Among Gaga's two nominations are Fan Army FTW — in which she'll square off with the followers of Bieber, Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Lovato, ICP, Adam Lambert and Tokio Hotel — and Must Follow Artist on Twitter, in which she faces Cher, Snoop Dogg, Blink-182's Mark Hoppus and Blake Shelton.
The O Music Awards will also honor a number of artists who are really good at this whole online thing, with Bjork, Chris Milk, Girl Talk and the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne vying for the Digital Genius Award.
The other categories include: Best Fan Cover, Hottest Music NILF (think about it), WTF I Love This Award (online craziness), the self-explanatory Too Much Ass for TV award, Most Outrageous Tweet and Best Music Forum. There are also awards coming for Most Innovative Festival, Best Music App, Best Music Hack, Beyond the Blog and Most Addictive Social Music Service, which includes such faves as Spotify, Turntable.fm and Rdio.
The first edition of the awards featured performances by Mumford & Sons, Foster the People, Lupe Fiasco, Matt & Kim and a world record freestyle by Chiddy Bang's Chidera "Chiddy" Anamege
The O Music Award's first-time winners included Gaga (Most Innovative Artist and Must Follow Artist on Twitter), Kanye West (Best Tweet), Tokio Hotel's Aliens (Fan Army FTW), Thirty Seconds to Mars (NSFW Music Video), Aquarium Drunkard (Best Independent Music Blog) and MJJ Fan Community (Best Fan Forum).
The O Music Awards 2 will unfold on Halloween on OMUsicAwards.com, as well as MTV.com, VH1.com, CMT.com, LogoTV.com and MTVHive.com. Fans can vote for their favorites at OMUsicAwards.com.

Mark Wahlberg Talks 'Fighter' Sequel, Wahlburgers
He also reveals that Catherine Zeta-Jones just signed on to join him and Russell Crowe in 'Broken City.'
By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz
Mark Wahlberg
Mark Wahlberg was in the giving spirit at the Emmys this weekend, kicking MTV News a bunch of news about his upcoming projects — everything from a burger-based reality show to who he'll be sharing the screen with on his next flick to who will be putting pen to paper for his planned "Fighter" sequel.
This fall, Wahlberg is headed to New York to shoot "Broken City," a noir drama in which he'll play a private detective hired by the mayor (Russell Crowe) to investigate whether his wife is cheating on him. "I think Catherine Zeta-Jones just signed on to be Russell's wife," Wahlberg told us.
A call to the production company behind the project was not immediately returned.
Also on the movie tip, Wahlberg gave us an update about his "Fighter" sequel. Previously, David O. Russell, who helmed the Oscar-winning first film but didn't pen the script, had told us he was looking to write the sequel. But Wahlberg let us know the original screenwriter will likely get the first crack at drafting the sequel, which will focus on Micky Ward's three bouts with Arturo Gatti from 2002 to 2003.
"We're hoping that Scott Silver, who really wrote the first one, will come on, write the script," the actor said. "This one we'd try to make a more commercial movie about the three big fights. Dramatically, there's a lot more at stake for Micky because [after] he won the title, people automatically thought — he's still living in Lowell [Massachusetts] — they thought all of a sudden he was rich. He made a couple thousand dollars for that fight when he won the title. And that's when things got really difficult for him."
And, about those hamburgers, Wahlberg told us that not only is he deadly, deliciously serious about opening a patty joint with his brothers called Wahlburgers, but they're also planning to shoot an Internet-based reality show about the effort.
"Listen, when I told the story that I wanted to do a show about a movie star and his five friends running around Hollywood, everybody said it was the dumbest idea in the world," Wahlberg said of his "Entourage" success. "My brother is a five-star chef. So it's a family-run business. You're going to see us doing a reality show about building the business. This is the real deal. We'll throw it up there and see if it sticks."
Check out everything we've got on "Broken City."

Michael Jackson's Son Prince May Testify Against Conrad Murray
Michael Jackson's eldest son Prince Michael may have to testify in the Conrad Murray trial, which starts today.
According to TMZ, the 14-year-old does not want the prosecution to call on him, but he understands he was an eyewitness to what happened in his father's bedroom the day of his death. Murray, Jackson's personal physician, is accused of causing the musical icon's death by administering an excessive amount of Propofol, a clinical sedative commonly used as preparation for anesthesia.
Prince is apparently "nervous" and worried that if he's called to the stand he might get flustered and "mess up," sources close to Prince tell TMZ.
If prosecutors do call on Prince, his legal guardian Katherine Jackson will ask her lawyers to request that the judge clear the courtroom during her grandson's testimony. But while Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor is certain to prohibit any cameras in the courtroom, it is unlikely he'd vacate the entire room for Prince.
The Jackson family has known Prince could be called to testify because his name was on the prosecution's witness list. Murray reportedly called Prince to the bedroom to help with his father's emergency, and when he arrived, the then-12-year-old burst into tears at the sight of his father in distress.

Jamie Campbell Bower Is Our New Class' 'Next Johnny Depp'
'Johnny Depp has always been a massive inspiration for me,' 'Breaking Dawn' actor tells MTV News.
By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Josh Horowitz
Jamie Campbell Bower

Jamie Campbell Bower has already been swept up in the frenzy of two of Hollywood's biggest franchises ever, "Twilight" and "Harry Potter." At 22, he's settled for nothing less than A-list flicks, including "Sweeney Todd," "RocknRolla" and playing King Arthur in the miniseries "Camelot."
Thanks to his gypsy style and diverse résumé that includes films both big and small, Bower has been named "Most Likely to Be the Next Johnny Depp" by MTV Movies' New Class Yearbook. And with one Tim Burton film already under his belt, Bower is well on his way to following in the footsteps of the man who's made pirates oh so cool.
But it's what Bower is set to do next that's really going to keep the upward momentum of his career going. In addition to the closing out of the "Twilight" franchise in the next year with roles in "Breaking Dawn" parts 1 and 2, the actor will gear up to star in "The Mortal Instruments" alongside Lily Collins.
He's also a man who can mix it up and star in a period piece like next month's "Anonymous," which centers on the theory that Edward de Vere, earl of Oxford, actually wrote Shakespeare's plays. MTV's Josh Horowitz sat down with Bower recently to discuss all that's in store for the actor.
MTV: This is, like, your time. You have some really cool opportunities right now. Does it feel like this is what you've been working toward?
Jamie Campbell Bower: Well, yes. Being able to do lead roles in pictures or onstage or whatever it is that you're doing in acting is obviously what you strive for because you want to better yourself as an actor and you want to better yourself as a person as well. But that does come with a lot of responsibility and a great deal of weight. At the moment, I'm incredibly nervous and I hope I just don't f--- it up.
MTV: Your ["Mortal Instruments"] audition — I want to hear from you. Did it feel like you embraced Jace?
Bower: This was a big deal for me and so I did a lot of preparation. I sent an email out asking what the character would wear, how he would dress, and I really focused on it. I was constantly, constantly, constantly looking at the lines and looking at the words and trying to nail who this guy was. They've taken a bit of, not a risk, but to put their trust in me and give me that role is very humbling.
MTV: Are we going to see much of you in "Breaking Dawn: Part 1"?
Bower: "Breaking Dawn: Part 1"? You'll see a bit of us [the Volturi]. We're around. "Part 2" is sort of where we really "throw down," would be the correct terminology? "Part 1," for us, is a lot of menacing set dressing. I am the best out-of-focus actor that you've ever seen, aren't I?
MTV: Is there a career to emulate?
Bower: You know, Johnny Depp has always been a massive inspiration for me and he's somebody who has produced an incredible amount of work, and every single piece that he does is amazing. And he also very cleverly manages to stay himself and very much shy away from the limelight, where it could have been very easy for him to put himself in a position where his friends and his family were in danger. And that's a scary thought. I think that's the main thing, to keep focused. It's a job at the end of the day and you have a responsibility to the people you're making the film for.

Miley Cyrus: Provocative Pet Store Shopper
Getting the week underway with a midday shopping excursion, Miley Cyrus was busy browsing the offerings at a local pet store in Studio City, California on Monday (September 26).
Joined by a gal pal, the "Can't Be Tamed" singer continued forth with her penchant for provocative attire while clad in a see-through white tank top and high hip hugging denim shorts to show off her gorgeous gams.
And while her often risque ways may upset the older crowd who's young children look up to the former "Hannah Montana" star, Miley recently told Prestige magazine that she's not going to let the critics influence her decision making.
The 18-year-old said, "People see me as this perfect Disney star, and the moment I put out a record that says 'I'm not 11 years old anymore,' people look down on me."
"Every 18-year-old explores sexuality and experiments and tries things. For me there's no reason to change that. You have to be true to yourself," Cyrus added.

Mystikal, Mannie Fresh Working On 'Monsters'
Former No Limit MC says, 'My star is still out there in the stratosphere.'

Mystikal has more to celebrate these days. Not only is the New Orleans rapper expecting the birth of a baby boy, the Tarantula has new music on the way and just turned 41 years old. It hasn't always been smooth sailing for Mystikal, who was released from prison in January 2010 after a six-year incarceration stemming from charges of sexual battery, extortion and failing to file tax returns. But Thursday, Mystikal was all smiles as he performed at his own birthday bash at the Sha-La club in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
"I'm in the process of rebranding everything," he told MTV News. "My star is still out there in the stratosphere; I just gotta get the spiderwebs off of it and shine it back up. That's it — simple as that."
Part of that process is getting back in the studio. Though he hasn't released an album since 2001, last year Mystikal hooked up with former Cash Money producer Mannie Fresh, and the two have been slowly cooking up new material.
"We been working. Last couple of weeks, we been coming with some monsters in that studio," Mystikal said before describing his plan for 2011: "I still gotta give them that vintage me, because that's what I am, but I found a way to kinda bring it up to speed and still be contemporary."
Not that Mystikal is ignoring his legacy in the slightest. The former No Limit star performed a string of hits Thursday. "That wasn't really a whole bunch of new material, that was vintage Mystikal," he said. "It just reminds them of a moment in time when things were alright. Everybody remember that moment when "Here I Go" or "Shake it Fast" or "Make 'Em Say Uhh" — they remember that."
Are you excited to hear new music from Mystikal? Tell us in the comments!

Justin Bieber Rents Staples Center for 'Titanic' Selena Gomez Date
When it comes to romantic gestures, Justin Bieber thinks big! On Friday night, the 17-year-old pop idol surprised girlfriend Selena Gomez with a private screening of Titanic... at Los Angeles' Staples Center.
How did he manage that, you ask? According to TMZ, he pretty much just asked nicely. Bieber had sold out the 20,000-seat arena three times before, so they agreed to loan it to him -- for free! -- during a non-event night. (Bieber reportedly got the idea from the 2002 comedy Mr. Deeds, in which Adam Sandler arranges a dinner date with Winona Ryder in an empty Madison Square Garden.)
The supersized movie date came at the end of a full day for Gomez, 19, and her adoring guy. The couple spent the afternoon cuddling at Malibu beach, where they were seen trading massages and throwing bread at seagulls (and each other!). In the evening, they caught pal Demi Lovato's concert at the Nokia Theater. And just when Gomez thought the night was over, Bieber took her hand, said "Come with me" -- and walked her through an underground passage to the Staples Center next door, where Titanic was waiting for them. So sweet!
Earlier in the week, Bieber posted a photo of himself and Selena surrounded by babies, with the jokey caption "Brangelina 2.0." Judging from his life online and off, Selena seems to be on his mind all the time -- and he's devoted to keeping her around. As he tweeted on Friday: "Romance isn't dead. Treat your lady right fellas. #REAL"
