Rihanna & Ciara: Twitter Fracas
Ciara took a shot at Rihanna during her appearance on E!?s ?Fashion Police,? and the ?Take a Bow? songstress took to her Twitter account to settle the score.
While chatting with host Joan Rivers, Ciara stated, “I ran into [Rihanna] recently at a party. She wasn’t the nicest. It’s crazy, because I’ve always loved and respected what she’s done in fashion. It wasn’t the most pleasant run-in.”
Soon thereafter, Rihanna shot back, “My bad, Ci, did I forget to tip you,” which elicited a response from Ciara- ?Trust me, Rihanna, you don?t want to see me on or off the stage.?
Ri-Ri replied, ?U gangsta huh? Haaa? followed by, ?Good luck with booking that stage you speak of.?
Later, Rihanna thought better of her spiteful words and wrote, “Ciara baby, I love you girl! You hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I’m heartbroken! That’s why I retaliated this way! So sorry!”

Round-the-clock lifestyle affects metabolism, behaviour
Our modern, round-the-clock lifestyle seems to derail metabolism, learning and behaviour in ways that we’re just beginning to understand.

‘Black Swan,’ Natalie Portman Nab Independent Spirit Awards
James Franco wins Best Actor for ’127 Hours.’
By Shawn Adler

The day might have started out mildly overcast, but as the film community watched in anticipation, the Santa Monica beach quickly went from partly cloudy to completely black, as “Black Swan” swept the major honors on its way to dominating the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday (February 26).
A schizophrenic thriller about a ballerina’s inner demons made manifest, “Black Swan” danced away with four awards, winning Best Feature, Best Director for Darren Aronofsky, Best Actress for Natalie Portman and Best Cinematography for Matthew Libatique. The flick is nominated in the same four categories at Sunday’s Academy Awards.
Among other winners, the rural drama “Winter’s Bone” nabbed two awards: Best Supporting Male for John Hawkes and Best Supporting Female for Dale Dickey. Presumptive Oscar Best Picture favorite “The King’s Speech,” meanwhile, won Best Foreign Film.
James Franco, who played a man who literally had to give up an arm to be here today, finally got his due, winning Best Actor for his performance in Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours.” The 32-year-old, who is in almost every moment of the film as the camera focuses on his character’s struggle to make a nearly unthinkable sacrifice, will be front and center as co-host of the Academy Awards.
Other winners included “The Kids Are All Right” for Best Screenplay, “Get Low” for Best First Feature and “Exit Through the Gift Shop” for Best Documentary. Thierry Guetta, aka “Mr. Brainwash,” accepted the award for “Exit” on behalf of the film’s reclusive director, Banksy.
Hosted by Joel McHale, the show honored independent and original filmmaking throughout 2010, moving from last year’s venue, the downtown L.A. Live complex, back to the beach in Santa Monica.
Will it be a regal evening for “The King’s Speech”? Can “The Social Network” dial up Oscar gold? Don’t miss MTV News’ “2011 Oscars Live” at 6 p.m. Sunday, February 27, when we’ll be chatting with your favorite Hollywood stars live from the red carpet on MTVNews.com, and stick with us all Oscar night for winners, interviews, photos and more!

Mark Ruffalo Reveals Hulk Re-Design For ‘Avengers’
‘All the features are mine, just really big,’ actor says of new look.
By Shawn Adler, with reporting by Josh Horowitz

Mark Ruffalo will soon join Edward Norton and Eric Bana as the third actor to portray Dr. Bruce Banner in as many big-screen adventures, but when the Incredible Hulk finally lines up next to Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the rest of Marvel’s mightiest to take on evils no single one of them can handle on their own, it won’t just be the good doctor you’ll have trouble recognizing: It might be the jade giant himself.
“The Avengers” will diverge from previous versions of the character and feature its own re-designed rendering of the green behemoth to more accurately reflect the new actor playing him, Ruffalo revealed to MTV News on the red carpet at the Independent Spirit Awards.
Ruffalo said the character’s designers are working hard to make the Hulk look like him: “All the features are mine, just really big. I got to see the maquette of the Hulk yesterday in full scope, and it’s awesome.”
The re-design makes the most of new technology being utilized for the flick, with Ruffalo donning performance-capture suits akin to the ones used by Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana for “Avatar.” According to the Oscar-nominated actor, it’ll be the first time the same actor has played both incarnations of the character.
“I’ll be playing it. I’m the first actor to actually do it in motion capture as the Hulk,” he said.
Back when the project was initially announced, rumors swirled that the Hulk might actually start out as the villain, tricked perhaps by Loki, as he did when the Avengers first assembled in comics.
While predictably tight-lipped about his role in the plot, Ruffalo did compliment the script, insisting that the film was right “in [director] Joss Whedon’s wheelhouse.”
“It’s cool. It’s gonna be great,” he enthused. “The script is a nice combination of funny with pathos.”

Jennifer Lopez Latest Celeb To Enlist Fan Feedback On The Net
J. Lo is letting you choose ending of her ‘On the Floor’ video, joining growing list of stars who have also left decisions to fans.
By James Dinh

Jennifer Lopez is set to drop her dance-tastic video for “On the Floor” in less than a week, and she’s letting her fans choose how the Taj Stansberry-directed clip ends. On Thursday, Lopez visited Ryan Seacrest’s morning radio show to announce that she’d be giving her fans the option to pick between two 15-to-20-second alternate endings, with the final cut airing during the March 3 “American Idol” broadcast at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
“You get to do what I do,” J. Lo said during “On-Air With Ryan Seacrest.” “Like, I go in there with my videos and I start editing and picking all the shots I like and the things that I like and what I feel the best kind of feeling for the record is. You guys get to do that. We picked two different ones and we weren’t sure.”
Lopez joins a list of stars, who have also maintained an interactive relationship with fans in order to get feedback on everything from song selection to tour set lists and promotional appearances.
Katy Perry’s “E.T.” Single
Back in December, Katy took to Twitter to ask fans what they thought should be the next single off her smash Teenage Dream. Shortly after, the pop star thanked fans for their suggestions, admitting that she agreed with the majority of them. Fast-forward two months as Katy selected the futuristic tune “E.T.” as to be the fourth release off her sophomore effort, and adding Kanye West into the mix.
Bon Jovi’s Concert Set List
When Bon Jovi teamed up with YouTube for a special concert show last year, the rockers were set on giving fans complete control. Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi recorded a video message, which was appropriately uploaded onto the site, asking fans to send in their song suggestions via text or video entry. And as expected, the group performed signature hits, including “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “It’s My Life” during the concert event.
Janet Jackson’s Tour Dates
Scheduling a tour can be difficult for busy artists, especially when there are so many cities to cover. However, that’s not the case with Janet Jackson’s upcoming world tour, for which she allowed fans vote on the cities where they’d most like to see her perform. The pop icon eventually selected a slew of dates based on fan submissions and they’ll get to hear her perform songs from her greatest-hits album, Number Ones.
Rolling Stone Cover
It’s not only stars who request fan feedback: Rolling Stone magazine is letting fans choose 1 of 16 unsigned bands to grace their coveted front cover, they announced last week. Through a tournament-style competition, fans will submit votes until the last two bands are standing. From there, the finalists will compete in an onstage battle of the bands that will determine who gets the cover and a recording contract from Atlantic Records.
Betty White’s ‘SNL’ Facebook Campaign
As Betty White’s popularity skyrocketed in recent years, so did the demand for her onscreen appearances, including admirers who wanted her to score a gig on “Saturday Night Live.” After an overwhelming Facebook campaign to have the then-88-year-old actress host the late-night sketch comedy show, White finally took the “SNL” stage and gave viewers what they wanted. With the help of White, “SNL” alums like Tina Fey and Maya Rudolph, and musical guest Jay-Z, the show earned its best numbers in more than 18 months.

Cee Lo Green To Cover ‘Arthur’s Theme’ For Film?
‘Arthur’ actress Greta Gerwig hints crooner will take on theme song.

You’ve seen him at the NBA All-Star Game. You’ve seen him at the Grammys. You might have even seen him in concert. But the next place you see Cee Lo Green could be the craziest, most-unlikely place of all: “Between the moon and New York City”?
The crooner has possibly been tapped to cover “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” for the Russell Brand- and Helen Mirren-starring “Arthur” remake, co-star Greta Gerwig revealed exclusively to MTV News on the red carpet at the Independent Spirit Awards, where she was nominated for Best Female Lead for her performance in “Greenberg.”
“I think Cee Lo might be doing something with it — I’m not kidding!” the 27-year-old actress enthused of the outrageous-on-the-face-of-it cover. “I met him at a screening the other day.”
Referring to his Grammy duet, Gerwig joked that she hoped Cee Lo might even find room for one of his more-recent collaborators: “We were thinking Gwyneth Paltrow too!” she said, laughing.
Written by Christopher Cross, Burt Bacharach, Peter Allen and Carole Bayer Sager and performed by Cross, the often-mocked original won both the Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Original Song in 1981. It also reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Directed by Jason Winer, “Arthur” opens nationwide April 8.

Anne Hathaway Will Be ‘Wonderful’ In ‘Dark Knight Rises,’ Says Aaron Eckhart
At the Independent Spirit Awards, the ‘Dark Knight’ villain is gracious about being left out of third film.
By Brian Warmoth, with reporting by Josh Horowitz
Aaron Eckhart

Director Christopher Nolan told Aaron Eckhart personally that “Dark Knight Rises” script wouldn’t have a part for him. Eckhart took the news in stride, though, and the nominee for Best Male Lead at Saturday night’s (February 26) Independent Spirit Awards said he expects the movie will do just fine without him — even if Nolan won’t tell him what will be going down onscreen.
“I was just with Chris, and he’s pretty tight-lipped about things,” Eckhart told MTV News on the red carpet outside the Spirit Awards.
The man who played Harvey Dent and ushered the character into madness as Two-Face in “The Dark Knight” wouldn’t admit to disappointment over not returning for the new Batman sequel. In fact, he claimed to have seen Two-Face’s omission coming.
“I never intended to come back,” Eckhart said. “That’s Heath [Ledger]‘s movie. It should live solo, and Chris is gonna go on.”
Nolan’s third Batman movie will include , best known in the Batman universe for her villainess alter ego Catwoman. Eckhart expressed high hopes for her.
“I think Anne Hathaway is going to be wonderful,” Eckhart stated. The closest he would come to complaining about his absence from “The Dark Knight Rises” was to joke about sucker-punching Nolan after hearing that Harvey Dent wouldn’t appear.
Eckhart lost in the Male Lead category to “127 Hours” star James Franco at the Spirit Awards, though judging by the gracious response he gave about the Bat-films going on without him, he seemed like he must be at ease with passing the spotlight around.
Eckhart made himself available last year, just in case Nolan had a change of heart, but now that the script is getting finished, and the big remaining casting searches seem to be limited to females, it’s probably safe to consider Eckhart politely and amicably finished as a Bat-villain.

‘Hall Pass’: The Reviews Are In!
The critics weigh in on whether Farrelly brothers’ latest is worth getting out of class.
By Eric Ditzian
Jason Sudeikis and Owen Wilson in “Hall Pass”
Photo: New Line Cinema
Last weekend, Liam Neeson’s “Unknown” pulled off a surprise box-office win after “I Am Number Four” failed to attract even a fraction of its “Twilight”-obsessed target audience. This weekend, though, we can be relatively certain which film will land in the top spot. For the first time since 2000′s “Me, Myself & Irene,” Bobby and Peter Farrelly should be able to nab the weekend’s #1 slot with their new comedy, “Hall Pass.”
Like “Unknown,” the film has received mixed reviews, but in these early, often barren months at the multiplex, that hardly matters. Check out what the critics are saying about “Hall Pass.”
The Story
“Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) are a pair of husbands whose marriages are, at this point, held together by their urges to check out other women. Their wives, Maggie (Jenna Fischer) and Grace (Christina Applegate), are as bored with their husbands’ straying eyes as their husbands are with marriage. Rick and Fred are released back into the wild by their wives, Lucy and Ethel — I mean, Maggie and Grace — and given a week free of marriage responsibility. The men are allowed seven days to pursue the girls of their dreams. It’s charming that ‘Pass’ realizes how flimsy it is, conceptually; the women causing the domestic tedium are played by actresses who, when they were dewier, played the girls that caused men to drive into trees — a throwaway joke itself. And the movie is self-aware enough to toy with the misogyny of its premise; Maggie and Grace suspect their men wouldn’t know what to do with freedom.” — Elvis Mitchell, Movieline
The Performances
” ‘Hall Pass’ presents these men as a new archetype: the frustrated middle-aged husband as randy adolescent virgin. Wilson, geeked out in super-square hair, knows how to use his gentleness to turn himself into a figure of soft desperation. And ‘Saturday Night Live’ ‘s Sudeikis, in his first major movie role, has an agreeably dorky, bootlicking officiousness. (Fred thinks that he’s scored a victory if he figures out how to look at a woman’s behind without his wife seeing him.) They are so domesticated, the joke is they don’t even know their pent-up sexual frustration is driving them nuts.” — Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
The Laughs and the Look
“The slapstick and action comedy interludes are haphazardly executed at best, and matters aren’t helped by the film’s incredibly ugly look; for whatever reason, the productions from New Line Cinema since its absorption by Warner Bros. appear poorly lighted, processed and/or printed, resulting in blotchy, bleachy results that do no favors to the actors.” — Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
The Dissenters
“Like many comedies, ‘Hall Pass’ is more a succession of gags and skits than an actual movie; when it reaches for something more than low-rent laughs, it really slips. The attempted commentary on love, fidelity and appreciation are off-putting, a side plot about a violent psycho simply bizarre. Wilson doesn’t seem to be trying, and Fischer and Applegate, typically game for anything, are given nothing worthwhile to do. What laughs there are come mostly courtesy of Sudeikis and, of all people, Richard Jenkins in a surprising role. Also, the description ‘gross-out comedy’ has rarely been more apt. Except maybe for the comedy part.” — Bill Goodykoontz, The Arizona Republic
How Does It Compare to Past Farrelly Flicks?
“Those cheerful shlockmeisters Peter and Bobby Farrelly, who co-wrote and directed the film, are more laid-back here than they were in ‘There’s Something About Mary,’ ‘Kingpin’ or ‘Dumb and Dumber.’ They make you laugh at some pretty revolting things, and the ratio of sexual/scatological giggles to groaners is high. But the brothers dialed back the lewd lunatic energy that is their signature. The film’s longest-running gag is that the men, sprung from the straitjacket of monogamy, leer at almost every woman they get near, but are too square and meek to score.” — Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Charlie Sheen’s Show Is Shut Down, But Here Are Five Things He Can Do With His Free Time
A few months ago, Charlie Sheen was the star of “Two and a Half Men,” a gigantic hit in CBS that is the top-rated comedy on all of network television. Sheen himself was the highest-paid actor on TV, raking in nearly two million dollars per episode (and there’s no telling how much he earns in [...]

The ‘American Idol’ Top 24, Twitterized
We break down the season 10 hopefuls, in 140 characters or less.

On Thursday night, “American Idol” revealed the remainder of the season 10 Top 24, a collection of singer/songwriters, balladeers, scatters, divas, perky teens and belters that will compete to become the heir to Lee DeWyze’s throne (perhaps he’s not the best example, but let’s move on).
Unlike previous seasons, this year’s crop of contenders is long on talent, short on sob stories — Chris Medina’s exit made sure of that. And while it’s probably too early to say this, we could be looking at the most-gifted field of singers in “Idol” history (or at least since the epochal third season). So it would probably benefit you to get to know the field before the cruel cut-downs begin.
And since we know you’re busy, we’ve decided to condense each contestant into a quick, 140-character bio, each ready to be cut-and-pasted into your very own Twitter feed. For your perusing pleasure, here’s our take on the “American Idol” top 24 — Twitterized. Because how else can you tell your Brett Loewensterns from your Clint Jun Gamboas?
Ashthon Jones: Big hair, bigger voice. Bears uncanny resemblance to young Beyoncé. Likes roller skating. Creative spelling of first name.
Brett Loewenstern: Bigger hair, even bigger collection of accessories. Is vaguely New Age-y. Also vaguely reminds us of a camp counselor.
Casey Abrams: This year’s token oddball. Makes goofy faces. Is actually pretty talented. Resembles Fozzie Bear, a ginger Screech, Mike D.
Clint Jun Gamboa: Twitchy karaoke champ with impressive arsenal of eyewear. Refuses to apologize for Jacee Badeaux dis. Rivers Cuomo-esque.
Haley Reinhart: Returning contestant who seems to have existed in some form on every “Idol” season ever. Raspy voiced. Preternaturally happy.
Jacob Lusk: Prodigiously piped gospel singer. Makes amazing faces while singing. Sort of resembles Mushmouth. Always wears ties. Is awesome.
James Durbin: Rocker who recalls Adam Lambert. Made bold choice to tackle Sam Cooke classic. In desperate need of a bandana intervention.
Jordan Dorsey: Catty, cutthroat alpha male who adheres to the “I’m just here to win” mantra, probably to his detriment. Not a good teammate.
Jovany Barreto: Bulgy, libidinous crooner with smoove voice. Wears much linen. Is here for the ladies. Has an amazing Twitter account.
Julie Zorilla: Poised, put-together pre-packaged entertainer. Wears many dresses. Early favorite of J.Lo. Recalls every Disney princess.
Karen Rodriguez: Primping diva-in-training. Vowed to be first Latina “Idol” champ. Possesses the talent to do so, yet is not a guy, so …
Kendra Chantelle: Raspy-voiced powerhouse from Nashville. Despite talent, may be outshined by other female singers. Has two first names.
Lauren Alaina: Young, bubbly judges’ favorite. Is strangely drawn to Steven Tyler. Dresses like she’s attending a Quinceañera at Dollywood.
Lauren Turner: Likable everywoman/singing maid. Much like Kendra Chantelle, may have trouble grabbing the spotlight. Impressive hair.
Naima Adedapo: Bewitching nu-soul singer with tricky last name. Has large back tattoo, dreadlocks à la Crystal Bowersox. Is a real wild card.
Paul McDonald: Aptly named singer/songwriter who possesses very little flash, and yet, is a favorite. Might regret that rhinestone suit.
Pia Toscano: Talented singer whose name sounds like an Olive Garden entrée. Polished, performing-arts background, which explains a lot.
Rachel Zevita: Over-the-top stage baby with an attitude to match. Is an odd mix of Tatiana Del Toro and Siobhan Magnus, only so much more.
Robbie Rosen: Slightly gawky singer who somehow stole Billy Joel’s hair, circa Glass Houses. Transforms into confident loverman when singing.
Scotty McCreery: Throwback country crooner who is eternally twanging “Baby Lock Them Doors.” Would be super-famous in Nashville, 1985.
Stefano Langone: Booming singer who survived a near-fatal accident, and has the scars to prove it. Handsome, yet is sort of the Anti-Jovany.
TaTynisa Wilson: Big singer with creatively spelled first name. Eternally poised on the verge of greatness, has yet to reach those heights.
Thia Megia: Ultra-young singer with voice, presence beyond her years. Last female to make the cut, yet could be considered a dark horse fave.
Tim Halperin: Everydude with appropriately bland name. Despite that fact, is handsome, which could make him shoo-in to win the whole thing.

Madonna ‘Bows’ At Number One: Wake-Up Video
By design, Madonna’s career has had a number of intense peaks and valleys. When an artist does as much shape-shifting as she does, some stuff is bound to hit big while others fall flat. After hitting a series of home runs at the end of the ’80s, the ’90s were full of those extremes, but [...]

Ke$ha Enlists James Van Der Beek For ‘Blow’ Video
Singer and former ‘Dawson’s Creek’ star battle it out in her new music video.
By Jocelyn Vena
Ke$ha in her video for “Blow”

Ke$ha’s new music video for her song “Blow” opens with this disclaimer: “No mythological creatures were harmed in the making of this video.”
Ke$ha isn’t referring to “Dawson’s Creek” star James Van Der Beek, who makes a cameo in the video. She’s referring to the champagne-swilling, hard-partying unicorns that also make an appearance in the video, which takes place at a society party.
Looking glossy and glam in her one-shoulder dress, she tells two unicorns, “I grabbed the bear by the throat, looked him right in the eyes and said, ‘Bear you have until the count of zero to put some pants on and apologize to the president. And that’s the story of how I was elected to the parliament of Uzbekistan.”
She then giggles as she looks into the camera, telling viewers to “dance.” Soon, she locks eyes with Van Der Beek. Ke$ha and Van Der Beek exchange glances as they make their way through the party. Scenes of their longing (and unicorns dancing with one another) are edited with scenes of Ke$ha, in a bodysuit, mugging for the camera, singing the song and kissing more unicorns.
Van Der Beek begins stripping off his suit jacket and dances his way towards the singer, who then pulls off her bra from under her gown. He follows suit, leaving viewers laughing and Ke$ha understandably perplexed about why he wears a bra under his dress shirt.
“Well, well, well … if it isn’t James Van Der Douche,” she says.
“I don’t appreciate you slander-beeking my name,” Van Der Beek replies.
After snipping at one another and trading barbs, they begin shooting lasers at one another in a battle sequence, knocking down and killing rainbow-shooting unicorns in the process. In the end, it’s revealed that Ke$ha has killed the actor and mounted his head on her wall, laughing off the encounter. The plaque in which his head is displayed reads “James Van Der Dead.”
What do you think of the new Ke$ha video? Tell us in the comments!
