Pink and ex-husband to reunite

Sabtu, 17 Januari 2009 comments

Pink and her estranged husband Carey Hart are reportedly set to reunite...
The 'Sober' singer - who announced she was separating from her spouse of two years last February - sparked rumours she is back with the professional motocross racer after they were seen jogging together in Los Angeles on Wednesday (14.01.09).

The couple gazed at each other and walked arm-in-arm after their workout, before breaking into a play fight.

They also spent New Years' Eve (31.12.08) together at a party held at Carey's Las Vegas nightclub Wasted Space.

Carey made a public toast to Pink at the bash, with a source revealing: "He escorted her to the stage and toasted her at midnight. Then he wished everyone a happy new year. It was very informal."

Pink, 29, recently admitted she and Carey have struggled to adapt to their new relationship as friends.

She said: "It's up and down. You have strong moments and you have weak moments. But it's not just been devastating - it's been freedom, too."

New Justin Timberlake Track Leaks

comments

While Justin Timberlake recently told MTV News that he's going to be focusing on working with other artists rather than his own material, on Thursday (January 15), a new song of his, apparently titled "Bigger Than the World," leaked online.

The song, which sounds unfinished, features Timberlake singing in a light falsetto reminiscent of Robin Thicke (or perhaps it's Justin sounding like Robin Thicke sounding like Justin) accompanied by a pulsing mid-tempo beat, keyboards and guitar. According to some online reports, the track was produced by Timbaland, and was posted on ThisIs50.com on Thursday. Toward the end, the beat drops out and the song ends with just piano.

When he spoke with MTV News last year, Timberlake said he was focusing on working with other artists, although he declined to reveal who those artists are. "I've been working with different people here or there," he said. "I feel weird. You'll hear it when it comes out. I would love to give you everyone but there's some stuff that might not work out due to business stuff, unfortunately.

"As far as myself, I don't have that," he continued. "I could change [my mind] next week, but I don't have the bug to jump in and start the whole process again, and touring again. I do love it, but it's tiring."

In addition to "Bigger Than the World," Timberlake recently released "Follow My Lead," which features vocals from the first signing to Timberlake's Tennman Records, Esmée Denters.

Milk

Rabu, 14 Januari 2009 comments

"My name is Harvey Milk, and I want to recruit you!"

So begins the triumphant rise and subsequent tragedy of Harvey Milk - the first openly gay official to be elected to public office in 1978. This stirring biopic on Milk's pivotal quest for gay rights, drives home important messages, but resonates less than hoped for.

In 1970, life still has a few surprises left for Harvey Milk (Sean Penn). On the cusp of turning 40, he picks up Scott Smith (James Franco) at a subway station, falls in love, and decides to come out of the closet. The couple set up home and shop in San Francisco's Castro Street, which soon becomes a thriving hotbed for the gay community. Amidst brewing anti-gay persecution, Milk feels compelled to make a stand, and runs for District Supervisor.

Albeit unsuccessful, his impassioned activism opens up a wave of homosexual liberation and openness. Finally, in 1977, Milk's campaign hits a breakthrough, and he ascends to San Francisco City Supervisor. After initial efforts to coordinate with fellow Supervisor Dan White (Josh Brolin) sours, Milk finds himself paying the price for his passionate dedication to gay rights.

Almost as if he's born to play Milk, Penn disappears into the role with empathy and powerful conviction. He infuses Milk's courage and determination with winning charisma and tender vulnerability; always dignified and graceful. Brolin makes White a character to sympathize with, giving him an unexpected human touch, and putting forth a fair portrayal that doesn't turn into a stereotype.

Among the supporting cast of Milk's lovers and supporters, Franco is subtle and low-key, while Diego Luna (as Jack) is flamboyant and erratic, unfortunately over-emphasizing gayness just a tad. Emile Hirsch (as Cleve Jones) though, brings an energetic exuberance that is rather refreshing.

Milk is poignant enough, with an astute mix of recreated newsreel footage thrown in that lends weight and historical significance. Yet the weakest link is the tangible detachment of director Gus Van Sant, who fails to bring life fully to Milk's inspirational spirit. You walk away feeling moved, but not necessarily satisfied.

Red Hot Chili Peppers recording

comments
When Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante said:
"the official news is just that there's no plans to do anything and we're on a hiatus of an indefinite length. There's just absolutely no plans to do anything and, that's it. Yeah, we worked really hard for ten years and, you know, there's other things in life."

Well it seems music is just too hard to resist.

Dance producer Paul Oakenfold has revealed to take40.com that he is currently in the studio working with the LA four-peice on a new track for his latest album.

"I'm working on a track I've done with the Red Hot Chili Peppers (for my album)" he said. "I'm trying to find a sound for the record; I'm looking for dirtier rougher rhythms with strong songs"

Blink-182 reunion rumours

comments

MTV hooked up with Blink-182's Mark Hoppus to find out the truth about rumors that Blink-182 may be reuniting
He said: "None of us know exactly what's going to happen. I do know that we're all very stoked to be talking again, laughing and letting the past remain in the past. But we're also coming together after an extremely acrimonious band breakup, a lot of anger and frustration with one another and four years of not talking. I think that we need to get back to a certain point as friends before we could ever take a stage together again, because that's what we always based everything on.

"If — and this is a big if — Blink-182 were ever to re-form, it would have to be the most amazing, ridiculous, mind-blowing show and tour ever. I feel like, as bitter as our breakup was, we stepped back at the top of our game, and we'd have to come back even stronger and better than before."

'Dark Knight' Producer Talks 'Batman 3' Casting, Status

Senin, 12 Januari 2009 comments

While The Dark Knight amasses a Batcave full of award nominations - and fans of the flick anxiously wait to see if it will get the attention of a fella named Oscar - we here at MTV News continue to look toward the future of the franchise: Batman 3.

So, naturally, when we caught up with Dark Knight producer Chuck Roven on the People's Choice Awards red carpet, we simply had to ask for an update on the film. The good news is, it looks like director Christopher Nolan could be officially on the project (after months of online speculation that he was still on the fence). But no one - not even the producers - know what's in store for the third, ridiculously anticipated film.

"I know that Chris [Nolan] and [writer] David Goyer are talking and thinking," Roven said. "We're hoping, of course, that they find and rest on something that they'll find is worthy to do, but we don't know anything more than you do right now."

Meanwhile, fans are also dying to know what villain - or villains - the Caped Crusader will possibly face off against in the follow-up to 2008's box-office titan and, also, what actors will be playing the parts. Again, the Internet has been ablaze with rumors regarding possible rogues and casting - some good, some bad and some downright laughable - so we checked to see if Roven had any ideas.

"All I can say - because I really don't know more than you do - is that I see no reason why, tonally, Chris would do anything different than he's done in the first two films," the producer said.

As Hollywood buzzes with speculation regarding a possible posthumous Academy Award nomination for Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker, it's nearly impossible to talk The Dark Knight and not bring him up. And while Ledger has managed to become synonymous with the role - and considering that viewers were left with the impression that the Joker may indeed show up in future Batman films - we wondered, considering the tragedy of Ledger's untimely death, if the producers would've done anything differently regarding that character.

"We have to separate the actors from the role," Roven said. "On a personal level, Heath was a friend of mine. We had worked together before The Dark Knight, but I still think that The Dark Knight is its own thing, and we have to separate them. So I guess the answer is, I think we still would've done the same thing."

Eminem comeback song appears online

comments

THE LONG-AWAITED new single by Eminem has been released online in its entirety

Crack A Bottle, taken from the rapper's forthcoming sixth studio album Relapse, was posted onto Aceshowbiz.com yesterday and is scheduled for a full release in the spring
Unfinished versions of the song, featuring contributing vocals from Dr Dre and 50 Cent, were leaked onto the internet in November, much to the 36 year-old star's dismay.

Speaking to Billboard.com, he said: "It wasn't close to finished, and it even has me doing guide vocals for Dre as a suggestion of how he could lay his verses down. It's like someone catches you before you got the Spider Man costume all zipped up!

"Nobody is supposed to see that. We are gonna finish it up, though, and get it out there how it's supposed to be."

Relapse is the Michigan-born rappers's first album in more than four years and is expected this spring via Interscope Records.
