Paris Hilton and Her New BFF
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Specials, MTV, Editorial,
MTV didn’t pull any punches when it came to the end of their Paris Hilton reality project. First, there was the hour-long reunion show, a spectacle replete with cat fighting and mini-games. Next, there was the drama-infused finale, where Paris was asked to choose a BFF in either Brittany or Vanessa. But wait - there’s more! After the very drawn-out conclusion, MTV aired a 30-minute special showing Hilton’s friends welcoming the new BFF into their midst.
It was two and one-half hours of Paris Hilton’s My New BFF TV. And I watched it all.

Paris Down to Two Potential BFFs
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, MTV, Gossip,
Heiress Paris Hilton has narrowed the field down to only two potential BFFs, the number down from eighteen hopefuls who participated in the MTV reality project Paris Hilton is My New BFF. After Tuesday’s double-elimination episode, Paris is left with two choices: Brittany and Vanessa.
And from what I’ve seen so far, she’s stuck between a rocker and a head case.

MTV to Host Presidential Bash
MTV has announced plans for its “Be the Change Inaugural Ball,” a bash for President-elect Barack Obama. The event will take place in the Ronald Reagan Building in D.C. on January 20. Live television coverage will give everyone access to the party. MTV will also feature all the revelry via Internet.
Celebrities, politicians and recording artists will decorate the event, meant to celebrate Obama’s swearing in to office. MTV will also choose hundreds of partygoers to give the cameras plenty of great shots.
It is expected that more than one million will arrive in Washington to celebrate the event, and to participate in several inaugural balls being planned throughout the city.

Britney Spears in the Spotlight
Britney Spears was in court recently to discuss plans for her future, which could include a tour. A spokesman told reporters “there was a discussion of Ms. Spears’ future immediate business plans. Particularly touring in support of her album.”
Her latest album, Circus, debuts on the anniversary of her birth, December 2 (Spears will be 27). It can only be assumed the tour will follow on the heels of this event.
Spears will soon appear in a 90-minute MTV special schedule to air on November 30 (and no doubt, endlessly re-run afterward). The documentary, filmed three months ago, is titled Britney Spears: For the Record. She’ll discuss her marriage and subsequent divorce from Kevin Federline as well as her current comeback.
Brit also talks candidly about her own feelings and fears. In one scene, as she heads toward the VMAs (where she eventually took home three awards), Spears admits worrying that MTV will show footage of her terrible performance the year before. “I’m sad,” she confesses at one point.
But with a new tour in the works, an album that’s sure to be a hit and this new MTV deal, Brit’s not in a bad place. We’ve seen much, much worse.

Miley Cyrus Wants to Do More TV
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Gossip,
Here’s a big surprise: teen superstar Miley Cyrus would like to spend even more time in front of the cameras. The Disney sensation was promoting her work in Bolt when she stopped to chat with E! News about her own career desires.
“I would want to do a reality show like ‘The Real World’ because I think that’s crazy,” she told reporters. “Anyone who would do that has some serious guts.” Or issues with exhibitionism.
“I just want to be in a really nice house, with cameras following me around,” she elaborated. I actually kind of thought her life was already like that - cameras and all. We’ve certainly seen enough pictures of her in somewhat private situations. “I can just sit there, eat Cheetos, read my book, hang out all day.”
So, if Cyrus was doing a reality show, we’d all get to watch her eat junk food, read and sit around. This would absolutely tank…with any other star but her. I actually believe people would watch this gladly, and I’m quite sure someone is pitching the idea to MTV even at this moment.
Referring to her life, Cyrus said, “It’s like a free reality show, I just don’t get paid for it.” Don’t worry, fans, Cyrus actually gets paid prettily by Disney for her work. “They’re always there,” she complained of the paparazzi.
Sure, I get it. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable to have the photogs taking shots. Why not just install cameras and sound equipment in one’s home instead?

MTV takes on YouTube with music video portal
Posted by Seth Combs Categories: Industry News, Music Videos,
You read the title right, MTV is actually going back to its roots and playing videos. Well, I should actually clarify this statement. Last week, MTV launched MTVMusic.com, offering up every video ever played on MTV for your viewing pleasure. The site is simple, clean and I will probably log about a million hours a week on it just sorting through the Vintage Videos section. Since I will be on the site so much jumping from Grandmaster Flash to Genesis, I’ll post a vid of the week for your viewing pleasure to get you back into the swing of music videos. For week 1, we’re going back to Duran Duran and Hungry Like The Wolf. It’s a bit of eighties brilliance featuring face paint, a ridiculous story line and eighties hair. Enjoy!

Sean Connery Confirms Retirement
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News,
Has Quantum of Solace‘s upcoming premiere got you wondering about the Bonds of yore? If so, we can at least update you on one former 007.
At a recent AFI event, Sean Connery told MTV why his mug hasn’t been seen on the big screen since 2003’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. In two words? He’s retired.

Need Another Reason to Hate The Hills?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, MTV, The Hills, Gossip,
The Hills, an MTV pseudo-reality show which just might be a rare form of entertainment cancer, just got unbelievably sillier. Honestly, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry over the recent pics of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, who recently took a stroll in the California sunshine wearing - get this - his and her pro-Republican T-shirts.
While Heidi clomped along in her high, thick-soled shoes, Spencer kept a shotgun slung against his shoulder. And for those of you who, like myself, have been wondering just who Joe Six Pack is - it’s Spencer Pratt. Note how he slugs back his beer - look in-between the couple to see the rest of those brews just waiting for their chance in front of the cameras.

Katy Perry Falls Hard - Again and Again and Again
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Videos, Pop, Rock,
In some MTV performances, it’s the lead singer’s intention to end up on the ground. (Remember Madonna’s classic Like a Virgin number?) Unfortunately, that was not the case for Katy Perry last night.
At yesterday’s MTV Latin America bash, the “I Kissed a Girl” singer gave the foreign audience something to remember the American by. Perry - who coincidentally used a cake as a prop like Madonna - thought it would be entertaining to dive into the large dessert at the end of her song. Unfortunately for her, the entertainment she provided was clearly unscripted.
The embarrassment begins around the :20 mark.
J.J. Abrams Clarifies Confusion Over Shatner Snub
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Science Fiction, Sequels, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,
In case you aren’t aware of the ongoing Abrams/Shatner war of words, here’s your opportunity to get caught up:
J.J. Abrams makes plans to direct/produce new Star Trek movie. William becomes upset about not being involved. J.J. claims they tried to include the original Captain Kirk. Shatner denies ever receiving an offer.
So now here we are with Round 4. In this interview with MTV, Abrams says the Boston Legal star never received an offer because they never tried to make him one. J.J. explains (once and for all?) that the writers wanted to include him in the film, they just couldn’t see a feasible way to make the script work.
MTVSo do you agree with Abrams’ reasoning…or do you think they should have included Shatner anyway?
