And then I realise, I’d left Brooklyn in the kitchen. I was driving along, talking away, and all of a sudden, I looked at the front seat, and I was like, “S***! S***! I’ve forgot something!” Ready to start her busy day, Beckham took off with her none month old baby girl Harper before realizing what had happened.� “I got up early with Harper, sorted Harper out, got all the kids their breakfast, got them ready for school, put Harper in the car seat, and said, ‘Come [...]

'Dark Knight Rises' Final Trailer: Five Key Scenes
From the looks of the latest clip, the final film may be the end for not only Christopher Nolan, but for Bruce Wayne as well.
By Kevin P. Sullivan

If you don't want to see the final Christopher Nolan Batman movie now, you probably haven't watched the final trailer yet.
Going in the complete opposite direction of the "Inception" BWOOONG cliché, the new "The Dark Knight Rises" trailer opts instead for near silence, broken by individual notes from a piano and mind-meltingly awesome images from the conclusion of the Dark Knight trilogy.
We've broken down the clip to analyze every ounce of goodness, so here are the five key scenes from the final "Dark Knight Rises" trailer.
Old Bruce
We previously learned that "The Dark Knight Rises" would jump forward in time eight years, and the beginning of the trailer hints that those might not have been great years for Bruce Wayne. He looks tired and beaten down, sporting some facial hair, something we haven't seen since his League of Shadows days. The second trailer clearly showed Bruce walking with a cane, so we know that time has meant more than just a new goatee for the Caped Crusader.
Who is John Blake?
Joseph Gordon Levitt's character has been mostly left a mystery, outside of his job description, a "beat cop." In the newest trailer, Blake is doing a whole lot more, but has yet to reveal what it is he's actually doing. There's even a brief exchange between him and Selina Kyle, and they seem at least familiar with each other and Bruce. But the shot that will have all the fanboys talking is one between Blake and a young boy. And as is the rule with fanboys, if an explanation isn't handed to them, they'll invent one. In the case of this shot, theories about Blake as the new Batman and the boy as Robin have already begun to show up.
Bane
So much has been made of the physical threat that Bane poses to Batman, but we haven't seen them engage in fisticuffs until the new trailer. A longer version of the shot from the first trailer, their short bout in the latest preview finally gives us a glimpse at what a Batman vs. Bane fight actually looks like, and it's brutal. Fans have speculated that this may not only be the final film for Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale, but also for Bruce Wayne, as the trailer seriously implies that Bruce will not survive the entire film.
The Cat and the Bat
Any fan of the comics knows that Selina Kyle has fun toeing the line between friend and foe, but in the trailer when she's fighting alongside Batman in one scene and riding in the Bat with him in another, her toe is firmly planted in the friend zone. If Commissioner Gordon is sidelined for most of the movie like he was in the first trailer, Batman could use a new ally who knows a thing or two about kicking some butt.
The Bat
Just to be clear, it's not a car. The Bat has made brief appearances in set photos, previous trailers and merchandising, but it isn't until the final shot of the trailer that Batman's new aerial ride gets to show off. The Bat does a barrel roll over a building, avoiding two missiles hot on its tail. This is no lame hovercraft. This thing is a full-on jet that we cannot wait to see more of.

Lifetime?s 7 Days of Sex Challenge Day 2: He?s On Top
Day two on Lifetime?s 7 Days of Sex Challenge and it is definitely challenging. I see why this is so difficult. You literally have to make time to make it work cause life just gets in the way. I am 9 months pregnant and about to pop. Granted, I want to get the bay out asap, I am so uncomfortable! They say sex helps, so let’s hope we get an added bonus. ? My husband?s grandfather has been in the hospital for what they think is a stroke. He is 91, and we just celebrated his birthday last weekend. Boy, am I glad we were able to make it to the party. We are all hoping for the best, but it is definitely stressful. Additionally my hubby is trying to plan for his absence at work for when the baby comes, he is taking 13 days so that is a lot of planning and stress for him. But he was all for this challenge and was very much looking forward to it. I know he is thinking about the 6 weeks postpartum lol.

Selena Gomez Takes On 'Raw' Role In 'Spring Breakers'
'It's completely different than anything I've done before,' she tells MTV News about the part in the flick.

Despite its sunny title, it seems that Selena Gomez's next film is going to be anything but a joyful romp.
"Kids" writer Harmony Korine at the directing wheel, "Spring Breakers" will take a turn for the dark and unwieldy. Which is fine for 19-year-old Gomez, whose film docket is quickly getting filled up with films that could make Disney execs blush.
The flick follows a group of college girls (played by Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and "Pretty Little Liars" star Ashley Benson) who rob a restaurant to pay for their spring break. After landing in jail, they quickly become entangled with a drug and arms dealer who bails them out. James Franco stars in the film as the cornrow-wearing bad guy.
"It's really fun. It's completely different than anything I've done before," she added. "People are going to be a little surprised, I think, by the choice. But it's such a good movie. It's real. It's raw. It's about actual spring break and it's just, they kind of take it to a whole other level." She gushed about the chance to work with Korine, who she said took her acting to a new level. "It's great. The freedom we had, I mean Harmony, the director, was so flexible with us," she explained. "He just really allowed us to push ourselves, which was nice. He never said we did anything wrong. He just said it was a choice. He gave us these locations and just said, 'Act like you're on spring break.' "
In addition to "Spring Breakers," Gomez is also attached to a thriller with Ethan Hawke, "The Getaway," as well as Eli Roth's next flick, "Aftershock."

Ice Cube Reveals New Album Title, Everything's Corrupt
Rapper-turned-actor also updates MTV News on his in-the-works FX series 'Eye for an Eye,' N.W.A biopic and fourth 'Friday' film.
By Tamara Palmer

As the clock struck midnight on April 29, ringing in the 20-year anniversary of the day three police officers were acquitted in the Rodney King trial and the start of the Los Angeles riots, Ice Cube was imploring a sold-out crowd at KDAY's Krush Groove concert at L.A.'s Gibson Amphitheatre to never forget what happened in 1992.
The upheaval fueled the direction of Ice Cube's The Predator later that year. The album remains his career bestseller, a home to express songs like "We Had to Tear This Mother----a Up" as well as a wry hit like "It Was a Good Day." Two decades on, he still believes in music as a vehicle for social change.
"People have music in their hearts," Cube told MTV News before stepping onstage. "Music ain't about the charts. It's about how you feel about a certain song. I know people who have music and music changed their life just by hearing a song. It could be an old song. It could be a song that people thought was thrown away and you can hear it and it can inspire you. So, I think music has always had the power to change, heal, bring understanding and bring people together."
After serving up his best-known 'hood and Hollywood anthems, Ice Cube brought his rapping sons OMG and Doughboy to offer a taste of a collaboration they'll bring on his next album.
"I think I'm gonna call it Everything's Corrupt," he revealed. "It's just really hardcore West Coast hip-hop — what I do. I don't think changing the formula is what should be done. I think it's all about do what you do best and give the people what they want."
Cube stays busy with his film and television pursuits and has talked about several ideas that are in development, including creating a dramatic television series for FX called "Eye for an Eye," in which he'll play an ambulance driver with a mission to avenge victims of violence.
"It's a great series as far as the idea, the concept," he said. "We're still trying to find that top-notch A-list writer who will want to be with us in the long haul, be with the project and ready to go. So, we want to find the best because we think the premise of the show is great.
"I play a guy who is an ambulance driver. He's basically not really qualified as a paramedic, more EMT kind of dude, and he's sick of seeing all these victims," he explained. "He wants to do something to give them some kind of revenge. So, it's an eye for an eye — whatever you do to your victim, same thing can happen to you."
Longtime collaborator F. Gary Gray has signed on to direct the planned biopic of N.W.A, which Ice Cube says is "full steam ahead."
"We're excited about him being part of the project, and the script is getting tighter and tighter, and once the script is tight as sweaty butt cheeks, we'll put it out, and we'll start working on it.
" 'Friday' is the same thing," he said of the anticipated fourth installment of his popular movie franchise. "I'm almost finished with the script, so as soon as we can finish the script, fast motion on it."
Which of Ice Cube's upcoming projects are you most looking forward to? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Cobie Smulders on How I Met Your Mother Season Finale, The Avengers
Fans of CBS' hit show How I Met Your Mother are counting down the days until the May 14 season finale. We already know the highly anticipated episode will feature Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) getting married, but the bride's identity remains a mystery. Of course, there's a chance the woman in white will be Cobie Smulders' character Robin (Barney's ex-girlfriend) -- but the actress is sworn to secrecy. "I can't really reveal much, but I can say that it's going to be a big episode," Smulders, 30, tells iVillage exclusively. "And it's a big reveal."
In addition to the eagerly anticipated finale, Smulders also has an even more eagerly anticipated movie coming up. The Canadian actress -- who has a daughter Shaelyn, almost 3, with her fiance, Saturday Night Live's Taran Killam -- stars alongside a team of A-listers (Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson) in the superhero blockbuster The Avengers (in theaters May 4). When iVillage caught up with Smulders, she admitted she was nervous to work with her famous costars, dished about HIMYM and let us in on her wedding plans.
The Avengers is such a huge movie. What was it like to be a part of it?
It was everything you could imagine and more. It was incredible. You know, it was one of the first movies or projects I've ever seen that I was in that I was able to sit back and actually enjoy it -- not break it down and figure out like which take they used. It was such a good movie that I was able to be an audience member.
It's such a star-studded cast. Was there anyone you were nervous to work with?
Yeah, I mean, I was both nervous and excited to work with pretty much everyone in the film. I was really nervous to work with Robert Downey because I think he's a genius. And he's Iron Man, you know!
So, what was he like in real life?
He was awesome. He sort of took the role of group leader a lot of the times, and he was very welcoming.
If you could have a superpower, which one would you pick?
I'm doing so much travel right now, I would love to fly myself. I'd love to not have to go through immigration ever again.
Can you give us any clues about the upcoming season finale of How I Met Your Mother?
I can't really reveal much, but I can say that it's going to be a big episode. And it's a big reveal.
Will it be a big shocker?
I don't know if it'll be a shocker. But our writers are so good at what they do. They've just figured out a great ending to tie it all together. I think people will be pretty happy.
I love your character's pop-star alter ego, Robin Sparkles. Will we get to see any more from her?
I hope so! We're going into our last season, and I feel like they're going to bring her back somehow. But I don't know how they're going to do it. I don't think they can just discover another video accidentally online. So I think they're going to have to come up with some really inventive way to find another video -- or maybe do a performance now.
The characters on the show are all so different. Which actor do you think is most like the character they play?
I would say Alyson (Hannigan) now because she is actually pregnant. So she's probably literally the closest to how her character is.
There's a hilarious video out there of your fiance, Taran Killam, dancing to Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend." What did you think when you first saw that?
My first thought -- and this is why I'm the one in a relationship with him -- I was like, "Oh my god, it's so late! Go to sleep!" It's 5 a.m. on Thursday, and I was like, "Oh darling!" My heart went out to him. I mean, it was awesome. He's a very good dancer, and he's very musically talented. But my first thought was like, "You need to get some rest. I can see it in your eyes how tired you are."
He’s obviously a very funny guy. Did he use his sense of humor to win you over?
Oh yeah, it was definitely one of those things that attracted me to him.
How's the wedding planning going?
We're planning to get married this year, but we're still piecing it all together. We're both really busy right now, so we're trying to find time to plan.
You have a 2-year-old daughter, Shaelyn, together. How does she take after both of you?
I just see her as her own person. Other than her eyes, which I think are mine. But she's a very independent child -- she's like her own creature.
Mother's Day is coming up. What did your mom teach you?
Oh my goodness. I've learned to laugh at myself. Yeah...the ability to laugh at myself.

When Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller hit the road together this summer, the good times will roll no doubt. But who will have more fun: the fans or the headliners? During their nine-city Under the Influence of Music run, the Pittsburgh boys are planning plenty of backstage fun. "Your little crew better get your little selves together, 'cause T.G.O.D. is coming," Wiz told Mac, playfully threatening his labelmate when they both appeared on "RapFix Live" on April 25.
"Let's go, Most Dope versus Taylor Gang. It's on," Mac responded all smiles, pumping up his rap crew.
Wiz and company get plenty competitive on the road. Fans got a taste of the fun in Khalifa's second "Taylor Gang" video, which he released in September. The Bill Paladino-directed clip is composed of concert footage from Wiz's 2011 Rolling Papers Tour. In addition to onstage shots, there are plenty of clips of team T.G.O.D. playing pranks and shooting Super Soaker water guns. "We play basketball, water fights, we ride bikes," Wiz said of the Taylors' backstage antics. "We're gonna climb mountains on bikes."
Last year, Wiz and Mac went out on the Green Carpet Tour, but their respective careers have grown exponentially since then and anticipation for their latest run is building. Mac is particularly excited. "We should do team building. Can we do safety falls?" he asked Wiz with a child-like glee.
"Absolutely not," Wiz barked, keeping up the faux-feud they cooked up for the "RapFix" episode. "We're gonna play board games, we're gonna have mind fights to see whose mind is stronger."
Who do you think is the stronger crew Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang or Mac Miller's Most Dope? Tell us in the comments!

Justin Bieber Brings 'Boyfriend' Video To MTV Thursday!
Following the 7:50 p.m. video premiere, Bieber will answer your questions live on MTV.com.

Justin Bieber is ready to be your "Boyfriend." The singer will sit down with MTV News' Sway Calloway on Thursday (May 3) to premiere his highly anticipated music video for the single during "MTV First: Justin Bieber" live at 7:50 p.m. ET on MTV.
After the video premieres on air, Bieber will chat with Sway for 30 minutes on MTV.com, opening up about the Director X-directed clip, as well as his June 19 album release, Believe. But that's not all: If you have a burning question for Bieber, you can get in on the fun by commenting below or tweeting @MTVNews with the hashtag #MTVFirst or #AskBieber.
Immediately following the premiere, the "Boyfriend" video will be available on MTV.com so Beliebers can watch it over and over and over again.
"Boyfriend," the lead single from Believe, was co-produced and co-written by Mike Posner and Mason Levy. The track stormed radio and the charts back in March, reaching #2 on Billboard's Hot 100.
Bieber was spotted in Los Angeles last month shooting some scenes for the video. He was photographed kissing a brunette who looked a lot like his real-life lady love, Selena Gomez, and was also driving some high-end muscle cars.
"The reaction's been great [to 'Boyfriend']; not only have I got good reactions from my fans, but great reactions from people who, you know, [might not usually listen to my music]. I've gotten messages like 'You know, I never would have listened to Justin and now I love this song,' " he told MTV News about the track. "So it's really great feedback."
While Bieber rides solo on "Boyfriend," he's enlisted a number of his A-list pals to appear on Believe, including Usher, Kanye West, Drake and perhaps even Lil Wayne. Just last week, Bieber dropped the artwork for the album, which features a close-up of the pop star's face and the collar of his studded jacket.
Don't miss the "Boyfriend" video premiere Thursday, May 3, at 7:50 p.m. ET/PT on MTV during "MTV First: Justin Bieber," followed by a live Q&A with Justin himself on MTV.com!

Be jealous! </P><P> </P><P>On Thursday (March 1), the Biebs turned 18 years old, and his most famous friends hooked up with MTV News to celebrate <a href="/news/articles/1680191/justin-bieber-birthday-fan-questions.jhtml">Bieber's birthday</a>. "I hope that you are around all of your loved ones and having a good time.

So of course the 33-year-old Usher had to impart some b-day wisdom on his young homey. "Eighteen will give you an opportunity to do a little bit, not all, so we got a few more years before you can go all the way," he said, acknowledging the three years until JB turns 21 and is allowed to legally drink in the U.S. "Maybe I might even be able to sneak you into a club. Anyway dawg, happy birthday. I love you." </P><P> </P><P>Comedian Kevin Hart isn't buying all of Justin's birthday hype, though. "Whatever Justin Bieber is supposed to be doing at 18, he was doing at 15," he joked after sending his well wish. </P><P> </P><P>Platinum hitmakers RedFoo, B.o.B, Sean Kingston and Flo Rida all helped MTV News celebrate the occasion. Even <a href="/news/articles/1678337/justin-bieber-lil-wayne-studio-visit.jhtml">Lil Wayne, who was with Bieber</a> in the studio in February, sent a special message. "Happy Birthday, slime, the big one-eight.

Beyonce Talks Fake Pregnancy Rumors
During her pregnancy with daughter Blue Ivy, Beyonce refused to indulge the speculation that she was faking her baby bump. When Katie Couric brought up the rumor during Beyonce's 20/20 visit, the singer scoffed that it was so ridiculous that "it doesn't even upset you." However, in her new cover story for People (which just named her the World's Most Beautiful Woman), first-time mother Beyonce admits that she was flustered by the secret-surrogate conspiracy theories.
"That was crazy. It wasn't hurtful, it was just crazy," Beyonce, 30, told the magazine. "(I thought) 'Where did they come up with this?'"
Nor was Beyonce impressed by the video "evidence" of her padded bump: a clip of her dress crumpling around her stomach when she sat down for an Australian interview.
"It was a fabric that folded -- does fabric not fold?" explained the exasperated musician. "Oh my gosh, so stupid."
Although Jay-Z and Beyonce didn't take the rumors personally, another member of their family did: Beyonce's mother and costume designer, Tina Knowles.
"I thought it was very unfair and very cruel that someone would think that someone would be that diabolical to keep up a charade like that for nine months," Knowles told People. "As a mother it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors. And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous."
Fortunately, said Blue Ivy's grandma, the "stupid rumors" were outweighed by all the "love and well wishes from all over the world." And now it hardly matters, because the world's most beautiful woman is over the moon about her new baby.
"I just stare at her all day. She is my favorite thing in the world, and my No. 1 job is to protect her," the singer says of 4-month-old Blue. "I make up songs -- they become the 'change a diaper' song, the 'bathing' song, the 'go to sleep' song, the 'I want to hear you coo' song. She loves it."
We can only imagine!

Justin Bieber Pictured In Studio With Kanye West
Pair look like they're working on songs for Bieber's upcoming Believe album.
By Gil Kaufman
<P>Perhaps Kanye West doesn't have to sleep like the rest of us mere mortals. That might explain how the rapper is seemingly everywhere at once these days: squiring <a href="/news/articles/1683892/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-romance.jhtml">Kim Kardashian all over New York</a>, shooting a mysterious <a href="/news/articles/1683847/kanye-west-kid-cudi-video-project-middle-east.jhtml">mini-movie in Qatar</a>
 and popping into a recording studio to work on tracks with pal <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a>. </P><P> </P><P>While the 18-year-old pop star has been wrapping up work on his upcoming album, <a href="/news/articles/1683335/justin-bieber-believe-the-voice.jhtml"><I>Believe</I>,</a>
 due out June 19, he got a visit from West. Bieber's bodyguard Kenny Hamilton confirmed the superstar summit, <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/KennyHamilton/status/196040151489724416" target="_blank">tweeting out a photo</a> of the pair working together on an unspecified song. </P><P> </P><P><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:754722/cp~vid%3D754722%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A754722" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed> </P><P> </P><P>"Putting the finishing touches on the album and it's gonna be special," he wrote while posting an Instagram pic of West tapping away on a laptop in the studio with Bieber in the background. He followed with a post that appeared to be another enthusiastic response to the studio get-down, writing, "Also witnessed a current legend and one future legend make magic once again ... I love this thing we call music!" </P><P> </P><P>Bieber's been giving his fans plenty of tantalizing sneak peeks over the past week. In addition to announcing the release date during an appearance on "The Voice," he also brought along a teaser for his as-yet-unreleased "Boyfriend" video. After that glimpse, he was spotted <a href="/news/articles/1683642/justin-bieber-boyfriend-music-video-kiss.jhtml">shooting new scenes</a>
 for the highly anticipated clip in which he was kissing a mystery brunette on set. </P><P> </P><P>"The concept of this video, I mean, it's not like a steady concept," Bieber <a href="/news/articles/1682156/justin-bieber-explains-boyfriend-video.jhtml">told MTV News</a>
 while shooting the video back in March. "It's not like 'Justin follows this girl to this spot.' No, it's a bunch of amazing scenes: like a fire scene, we have an ice scene. </P><P> </P><P>"It's kind of like bouncing back and forth," he said. "And then there's scenes of me and just a bunch of girl dancers, and just some great shots, great artistic shots, great shots of me smiling. It's fun." </P><P>He also tweeted out the <a href="/news/articles/1684079/justin-bieber-believe-album-cover.jhtml">cover art</a>
 on Friday, a simple black-and-white close-up of his face with the word "BELIEVE" stamped in a yellow caution-tape font underneath. The album will reportedly feature a song reacting to the <a href="/news/articles/1683857/justin-bieber-believe.jhtml">paternity suit</a>
 filed by a 20-year-old California woman who claimed she became pregnant with Bieber's baby after a brief bathroom hook-up at an October 2010 concert; the suit was dropped in November. </P><P> </P><P>In addition to whatever Kanye and Bieber cooked up, the album will also feature a <a href="/news/articles/1683050/justin-bieber-taylor-swift-collaboration.jhtml">duet with Taylor Swift</a>
, as well as magic made with Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine and Drake.</p>

Usher To Preview Looking For Myself At Off-Broadway Show
Singer tells MTV News 'Fuerza Bruta' matches the 'more artistic' music on his upcoming album.
By Jocelyn Vena
<P>This Saturday (and this Saturday only), Usher will appear in New York City's "Fuerza Bruta," an off-Broadway show where no one speaks, but the story is told through bright lights, music and dancing. In the lead role of Running Man, <a href="/music/artist/usher/artist.jhtml">Usher</a> will also use the show to preview his June album release, <a href="/news/articles/1682140/usher-looking-for-myself.jhtml"><i>Looking for Myself.</i></a> </P><P> </P><P>Fans in the audience will likely get closer than they've ever been to the singer, as the audience stands during the performance, becoming another member of the company. With several weeks until his album release, Usher explained to MTV News at a rehearsal why he wanted to use this show to preview tracks. </P><P> </P><P><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:764205/cp~vid%3D764205%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A764205" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed> </P><P> </P><P>"I felt like the natural elements as well as the emotion of 'Fuerza Bruta' would definitely speak or be significant to some of the stories and I guess hopefully a connection [was there]," he explained of tying this performance to his album. "When we began to explore different directions [for the performance like] maybe we use some of their music, maybe we use some of mine ... and before you knew it the idea came together. We tried it, I got on Running Man and it worked." </P><P> </P><P>The show will stream his entire album, which drops June 12, and he thinks the mind-bending artistry of "Fuerza Bruta" works with the sound he's created on it. "This is more artistic of an album than I've had in history," he said. "And I felt like yeah, it would be a lot for me, but I was willing to at least try it. There were many times I had seen the show and I only hoped that I would be able to make it happen." </P><P> </P><P><center><a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/?fid=1617615"><img src="http://www.mtv.com/news/photos/s/spotted/banner/spotted.jpg"></a></center></p>

David Guetta Teases 'Crazy' New Usher Collaboration
French producer/DJ opens up about working with his 'Without You' partner again.
By Jocelyn Vena
<P>Still playing "Without You" on repeat? Well, it looks like David Guetta and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/usher/artist.jhtml">Usher</a> will have a new one for you to play over and over again soon. </P><P> </P><P>The French hitmaker teased to <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/earshot/david-guetta-usher-collaborating-new-song-coachella-315394"_blank"><i>The Hollywood Reporter</i></a> that he's worked with the R&B star on new music.

"I was playing, and then he came to hang out and just to have a good time," he told the <i>Hollywood Reporter.</i> "Then I saw him on the side of the stage and I gave him the sign. He was like, 'Do you want me to do it with you? To come on stage?' and I was like, 'Hell yeah!

That [song] really spoke to the journey that I've actually been on in the last three years," Usher said about that song and how it relates to his musical philosophy. "Traveling all around the world, music sounds different. There's many different genres, and when you see R&B and pop and house, as well as electronic, come together, that's the reality of what music is." </P><P> </P><P>Guetta is currently working on new music, and Usher will drop his new album <a href="/news/articles/1682140/usher-looking-for-myself.jhtml"><i>Looking For Myself</i></a> in June. </P><P> </P><P><i>Are you looking forward to a new song from Usher and David Guetta?

Tommy Marth of The Killers Commits Suicide
Tommy Marth, a saxophonist who played with indie pop group The Killers, was found dead in his Las Vegas home Monday. According to local newspaper Las Vegas Weekly, the official cause of death has been ruled suicide. Marth, who is survived by his parents and two siblings, was 33 years old.
"Last night we lost our friend Thomas Marth. Our prayers are with his family," Killers frontman Brandon Flowers wrote Tuesday on the band's official Twitter page. "There's a light missing in Las Vegas tonight. Travel well, Tommy."
Though Marth was never a permanent member of the band, he recorded with The Killers on 2006's Sam's Town and 2008's Day & Age -- and even toured with them to promote the latter album.
The band went on hiatus after the Day & Age tour ended in 2009, but are currently working on a new record that is due out this year.
Below, watch Marth and The Killers perform at London's famed Royal Albert Hall in the summer of 2009.

Lady Gaga Taps The Darkness To Open Born This Way Ball

What Is Mac Miller's 'Pink Slime' Project?
Pittsburgh MC remains tight-lipped on his upcoming collabo project on 'RapFix Live.'

Mac Miller isn't ready to start working on his sophomore album just yet, but he does have a few projects in the works. And though the Pittsburgh MC wouldn't give much detail when he appeared on Wednesday's episode of "RapFix Live", he did drop a clue about one of these projects.
"Everyone needs to pay attention for when the words 'pink slime' surface, just don't even worry about it right now," Mac teased while sitting on the "RFL" couch.
He wouldn't reveal whom he is working with on the "pink slime" project, but Miller did confirm that it is a collaborative effort. "I'ma just say, just keep watch — he's gonna be pissed that I'm saying this, but you're not gonna know who it is," he said.
Well, if "he's gonna be pissed," then that rules out a tag-team tape with Nicki Minaj right? Maybe it's her Young Money boss Lil Wayne; after all he did appear on Miller's on Macadelic mixtape. Then again, so did Cam'ron, Juicy J and Kendrick Lamar.
There is no release date for "pink slime," but it will come before Mac's Blue Slide Park follow-up. "As far as the album, to be honest, I haven't even thought about it yet," he said. "I need some time, man; I need to put together something. I'm releasing music, I have songs on songs on songs; I record every day."
Whom do you think Mac Miller is working with on his "pink slime" project? Tell us in the comments.

Bruce Willis Is As 'Kick-Ass' As Ever In 'Die Hard 5'
Producer Tom Rothman talks about John McClane's return in the 'emotionally driven' 'A Good Day to Die Hard.'

One thing's for sure when the next "Die Hard" flick hits theaters: Aging action stud John McClane is no worse for the wear and just as ready to rumble as he was back in 1988, when the first film hit theaters.
With Bruce Willis back for the franchise's fifth film, "A Good Day to Die Hard," producer Tom Rothman has made it clear that the butt-kicking star is just as badass as ever.
"[We've] started this week, just started. It's all set in Russia," he told MTV News at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. "Well there's bookend scenes in New York, but it's John McClane, goes to Russia and I think the technical term ... is f---s everything up. And the fun part about it, though, is there's a great moment where he says 'It's good a day as any to die.' "
Sure, McClane is throwing about his signature swag in the film, but Rothman assures fans that the movie also has a lot of heart, courtesy of the relationship between McClane and his son, Jack (played by Jai Courtney).
"He thinks his kid is a screw-up," he explained. "But, in fact, it's the opposite. The kid is more like the father than the father thinks. So it's very, like all the best of the classic 'Die Hards,' very emotionally driven and very kick-ass."
Director John Moore of "Max Payne" and the "Omen" remake is set to helm "Die Hard 5" with Skip Woods penning the script. "A Good Day to Die Hard" is a follow-up to 2007's "Live Free or Die Hard."

'Avengers' Already A Smash Overseas
Superhero movie, due Stateside in early May, is already breaking records in foreign markets.

The Avengers have already started to assemble overseas, and early box-office reports are spelling very good things for Marvel's tentpole. The superhero movie that brings together Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk has reportedly made $12.5 million in a handful of foreign markets and is already breaking records, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In Australia, "The Avengers" has already banked $7 million, a total that has only been beaten by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," which earned $8 million during its Down Under debut.
The foreign rollout has proven lucrative elsewhere, too, as France added $3 million to the total.
Early tracking estimated that "The Avengers" could make more than $150 million during its early May opening weekend in the U.S. That would put the film in the same class as "Spider-Man 3," "The Hunger Games," "The Dark Knight" and "Deathly Hallows, Part 2."
This could potentially mean the biggest debut for a Marvel Studios movie yet. "Iron Man 2" currently holds that honor. The Robert Downey Jr. sequel opened to $128 million back in 2010. That's followed by the first "Iron Man" at $98 million.
"The Avengers" has the added advantage of higher ticket prices. The film is playing both in 3-D and in IMAX 3-D, so each individual ticket will add more to the final total. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" saw a large bump in its record-breaking run thanks in part to higher prices attached to 3-D showings.
Check out everything we've got on "The Avengers."
