Jonah Hill is similar to the size of Britney Spears

Britney Spears was opened in 2008, the pre-taped skit on the basis of the votes cast by the public. Alongside Jonah Hill comedian singer made her first appearance in the show, the comeback-forging, which has become one of the popmusiikin history of fruitful and the invitation to tender for the comebacks. He went on to take home to several Moonmen, that night in her clip "Piece of Me"

Cut three years later, when Spears to accept his award for Best Pop video "the world ends." Singer donning all black and pretty good (we can add), took note of her Moonman Jonah, a former tourmate Nicki Minaj. It was a full circle at the time of the Brit Brit and Jonah.

Before even kicked off the show MTV News caught up with Jonah on the VMA red carpet Sunday night, and he remembers the first time, with the Spears back to those years. What was so, which way? "The votes of the Permanent members of the public on the basis of his," he recalled. "I shot the video in his house."

Um really? You made what Jonah?

Boris Is BACK! NYC's King Of Underground Set To Release 'Believe In The Music II' Compilation

AppId is over the quota

Boris

By Adam Stewart (@AdamMTVNews)

Here ye, here ye, come hither all thee Underground House Music Faithful. One of the monarchs of the New York underground scene is coming back at you hard and heavy with his latest compilation album, Believe In the Music II. It's been nearly five years since the first installment in the series, and iconic DJ and producer Boris is poised to take his loyal subjects on a journey into the wee hours of the morning over a two-disc set, which is out Tuesday, Oct. 11.

“I feel like in order to really make a good compilation, you can’t just do a single CD because it’s really difficult to really show your set on one disc,” Boris tells MTV News. “Plus, I like for you to feel like you’re at one of my events.”

Believe In the Music II does just that, having the magical ability to transform seemingly any car, living room or college dorm into Pacha New York or Space Miami. Garnished with some of tribal and tech house’s best and boldest, Believe In the Music II is a journey through one of Boris’s unforgettable live sets that his rabid following can never seem to get enough of. Highlights of the "3 AM" disc include Boris’ summer smash “The Change,” the DJ PP Remix of Mark Knight & Funkagenda’s “Shogun” and the Boris Edit of John Acquaviva & Olivier Giacamotto’s “Bunga Bunga,” featuring the classic Barry Harris “Dive in the Pool” sample.

“I love to bring back classics and make them more current,” says Boris. “Sometimes the younger audience may not know that record that's being sampled, but it’s still usually an amazing record to begin with, so they connect just as easily – and the veterans of the dance floor always like to hear a throwback to get them going.”

And speaking of the vets, it wouldn’t be a proper Boris experience without folding fellow New Yorkers Richie Santana (“Together” and “Jungle Kisses”) and Mind Control (“The Feeling That I Know”) into the mix on the "5 AM" disc, which is highlighted by Boris’ latest, “Tribal Fusion.”

“It's one of my new singles that will be out on Piccante, Roger Sanchez’s new label,” he says, in addition to other tracks soon to be released on Mark Knight’s Toolroom imprint, as well as VIVA Music.

And if his studio work doesn’t seem busy enough, the native Russian’s tour schedule certainly doesn’t sleep either. Having a hectic summer season peppered with gigs up and down the Jersey Shore, out in Vegas and pretty much every state along the eastern seaboard, Boris tells MTV News he’s even got something in store to ring in the New Year that he promises will be nothing short of gigantic.

Stoked for 'Believe In the Music II,' or catch any of Boris’s show this summer? Let us know your thoughts and party stories in the comments below!

How Did Steve Jobs Change Your Life?



It's a sad, sad night as we reflect on the genius of Steve Jobs, who left us today at the just-too-soon age of 56.


Many of us grew up hearing stories of the wonders of Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell and wondered "what was life like before a light bulb or a telephone." But we were lucky enough to experience that change first hand as Jobs and his wizards at Apple created products that not only changed the way we lived everyday, but the way we saw the world.


As the news broke across Twitter, we stopped and realized that everyone in the newsroom had either an iPhone, iPod or iPad at the ready. White headphones were everywhere. One editor yelled "my first mixtape to a girl was actually a playlist on an iPod." Someone with a few years on him had made a mixtape on an actual cassette but admitted that the first movie he showed his young son had actually -- and fittingly -- been a Pixar film on an iPad. One actually remembered the first book report he had typed on his Apple IIe.


It's hard to think about just how much the products from this visionary seep into our lives. And we are sure they are major parts of yours. Please share with us just how Jobs and his universe play a part in yours. We'll be highlighting your thoughts in the coming days across MTV.

Courtney Love Continues Being Herself In Latest Absurd Interview


Courtney Love


By Zachary Swickey


In the latest case of crazy from none other than Courtney Love, the singer/attention-seeker has conducted an interview with Vanity Fair that (as always) is filled with several quotes that might be deemed controversial to say the least. The issue will land in stores nationally and on the iPad October 11, but plenty of tidbits have been released that show Love is still her old self.


When the magazine’s contributing editor asked Love if she was angry with her late husband, Kurt Cobain, for committing suicide, she insanely barked back, “If he came back right now, I’d have to kill him for what he did to us! I’d f**king kill him! I’d f**k him, and then I’d kill him!” (Not sure if her wanting to screw him first is supposed to make up for the rest of that quote but whatevs.)


Continuing further into inappropriate territory, Love then showed the editor estranged daughter Frances Bean Cobain's diary – turning to a page that has a list titled “Things That Make Me Smile” and then complaining that she didn’t make the cut. It was less than shocking when Frances Bean emancipated herself from Love two years ago, as the mother and daughter have always had a rocky relationship. But Love wants you to know that, “There were no drugs in my urine, no drugs in her urine when she born,” so she doesn’t sound like too bad of a parent (insert sarcasm font here).


Money seems to be a great concern and point of discussion for Love as she repeatedly mentions her “lost Nirvana money” – referring to the $250 million she claims is due to her from Cobain’s estate. Disturbingly, Love refers to it as “the fraud” and her home is reportedly the hub for research on the case with assistants making copies and sending faxes related to this “fraud.” She even has a legion of Twitter followers that she claims help her to calculate just how much money she is owed.


Love insists that despite Nirvana’s fame while Kurt Cobain was still alive, they always had financial issues. “We could never find our money,” she claims. In one of her most insensitive quotes of all time, Love states, “They said that if he would go do Lollapalooza that he would make $11 million! Do you think Kurt would have killed himself if he had known he had $54 million?” That number was derived by those trusty Twitter followers, of course.

Red Hot Chili Peppers will take you behind the scenes of Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Is in all , in the case of the classic albums, Red Hot Chili Peppers ' Blood Sugar Sex Magik is connected to the mythology. Producer Rick Rubin decided to record a supposedly haunted mansion Laurel Canyon — Harry Houdini is used to live there — and the band at home to provide for the award (with the exception of drummer Chad Smith, who was too alarmed to reside there.) Made it to the fullest extent permitted by, and perhaps inspired by the ghostly companions, peppers, burst into the world of some of the most downright haunting 's iconic songs, tales of depression, addiction, and, of course, holding, and spiritual as well as in the event of an emergency.

And, thanks to the blood sugar the songs could go into a huge success, thrusting the band, firmly under the Glare of spotlight, and they later melts as a result. Unable to cope with the new found + fame, guitarist John Frusciante quit the core through the support of the album tour, and sink into the spiral of abuse. Band press — although the beak man Anthony Kiedis fighting drugs, too — but it would be nearly four years before they would release an appropriate monitoring, this time, the former Jane's addiction guitarist Dave Navarro fold.

Of course, blood sugar changes this year to 20. and, as we have more than one the otheryou have done with the's iconic album released in 1991, the, we've asked some of today's biggest acts to share memories of peppers, boldest, bravest disc. But today, also a major behind-the-scenes story, straight from the band itself.

Thus your own words, Anthony Kiedis, his memories of making the Blood Sugar Sex Magiksharing.

Skrillex Teams With Surviving Doors Members For Genre-Bending Documentary Project


Skrillex


By Zachary Swickey


Earlier this year, we saw the WTF pairing of the millennium when Jack White teamed up with the loud and crude Insane Clown Posse for a one-off track. In another perplexingly rando collab, it appears that the surviving members of The Doors have gotten together in the studio with dubstep king Skrillex.


The collaboration comes compliments of a new documentary, "RE:GENERATION," which finds five popular DJs/producers working with artists from five very different genres: Pretty Lights got country with Leann Rimes and Ralph Stanley; DJ Premeire joined Nas for a composition with the Berklee School of Music Orchestra; digital masterminds the Crystal Method spent two days in Detroit recording an R&B number with Martha Reeves; and super producer, Mark Ronson recruited Erykah Badu along with some members of the Dap Kings to join Trombone Shorty in his home town of New Orleans for a jazz tune.


Somewhat surprisingly, Doors guitarist Robby Krieger and keyboardist Ray Manzarek hit it off wonderfully with Sonny Moore – the 23-year-old we know was Skrillex. “[Sonny] plays his beat; all he had to do was play the one thing. I listened to it and I said, ‘Holy s**t, that’s strong,’” Manzarek told Rolling Stone. “Basically, it’s a variation on ‘Milestones’ by Miles Davis, and if I do say so myself, sounds f**king great, hot as hell,” he elaborated excitedly.


Although, not all the collabs were smooth sailing. Pretty Lights, aka Derek Vincent Smith, ran into a few issues with one of his country partners. “When Ralph showed up, I tried to tell him what I wanted to do and his response was, ‘I think we’ll just do it my way,’” Smith told the magazine. No word on how much Rimes was feeling Smith’s digital prowess.


The project is being co-produced by the Grammys and directed by Amir Bar Lev (who did the playful documentary "My Kid Could Paint That"). The trailer was just released and the film is expected to premiere in early 2012 as it will be a big part of Grammy week, including the DJs/producers conducting “Remix Labs,” an event at the Grammy Museum and, of course a screening.

'Survivor South Pacific' Recap: The Back-Breaker



by Josh Wigler


With this week’s episode of “Survivor: South Pacific,” we’ve officially fallen into that familiar early-season rhythm: a couple of characters remain consistent breakouts (bHantz, we’re looking at you), while the remaining players are either too under the radar to make an impression or are too obviously about-to-be-gone to give a hoot. To that end, this week brought another obvious boot, another person to be permanently removed from the game, and some typically classic Hantz moments. Survivors ready? Go and click past the jump for the full recap!



Episode four begins at Savaii, where there is NuLife for NuCochran: after two tribal councils with his neck on the chopping block, “South Pacific’s” dominant dork is approached by Jim with a secret proposal: target Elyse, their beautiful tribe mate who just so happens to be a bit too cozy with Ozzy for comfort. To them, it's simple math: get rid of Elyse, get rid of Ozzy's plaything, one less vote the veteran has in his back pocket. But getting Elyse out of the game will require more numbers than Jim and NuCoch have between each other, so feelers are put out towards the lonely island that is Dawn. Recognizing her own fragility within the game, Dawn agrees that ousting Elyse would be the best course of action.


Elyse isn't the only "E" with a target on her back: at Upolu, Edna is told by Brandon — in all of the delicate, sensitive phrasing that he’s becoming best known for — that she's the odd man out looking in on the five person alliance of himself, Coach, Rick, Albert and Sophie. Armed with this new knowledge, a misty-eyed Edna decides to "reemphasize" her social game, a decision that comes with endless irritating questions for her tribe mates, and a grating giggle that refuses to die. Stacey, among other people, is not amused.


The Redemption Island duel is barely worth mentioning — Christine broke out in an early lead against Papa Bear, and despite some last-minute catching up on his part, she had little trouble knocking the retired NYPD detective out of the game for good — so let's move onto immunity. The challenge is vintage "Survivor" at its finest: three people stand on pedestals and have to balance weighted bags on a pole on their back, with more weight being added with every subsequent round. Fan-favorite “Survivor” Rupert Boneham holds the record in this familiar challenge with 220 pounds on his back, a record that is almost but not quite shattered this week by Jim and Brandon, who match the 220 but break down at 240. In the end, it’s a showdown between two unexpected individuals, Stacey and Dawn, with the latter woman prevailing. Having already lost two members of their tribe, Team Savaii's latest win keeps their numbers even with Upolu's, and comes with an additional reward: two hens and a rooster. Look who’s having eggs for breakfast!


Back at Upolu, Stacey knows her time is likely up, though she isn’t going down without a fight. Having proved her physical toughness at immunity, Stacey puts her mental game to work, trying to psych the fragile Brandon into thinking that a secret alliance exists between his pals Albert and Sophie and his nemesis Mikayla. The littlest Hantz in the South Pacific expresses his deep concerns to Coach, who immediately snaps: "If you believe somebody who is on death row, like Stacey is, over someone who is in your core alliance, you may as well throw in the towel now."


Surprisingly apt words of wisdom, especially coming from Coach, except for one problem: at this point, Brandon is so far down the rabbit hole that his demise could come from anyone or anything. For the Hantzspawn, absolutely nothing is certain, and absolutely no one can be trusted.


Though his downfall is surely not too far in the future, Brandon's time is not up tonight. It's Stacey who is sent home packing after an emotional tribal council that sees the familiar flow of #hantztears over his family’s dark legacy. After unanimously ousting Stacey (with only one stray vote, her own, for Edna), the tribe inexplicably tries to give a group hug to their fallen comrade. Stacey wants none of this. As she blitzes right past them, Probst is barely able to keep a straight face: "After all that, they tried to give you a hug." I’ve seen some weird things on “Survivor,” but hugs at Tribal Council? You’re playing the wrong game, Upolu.


Next week, the Survivors feed their need for meat and then some. Oh, and Coach Wade? Don't call him Benjamin. You wouldn't like him when you call him Benjamin.

The Key Scene: Beyonce's 'Countdown'



Beyonce's “Countdown” video shows the many sides of the eccentric and eclectic pop star: funny, stylish, happy, manic, sexy and pop culturally savvy.


With references to 60’s icons like Andy Warhol, Twiggy, Audrey Hepburn, Diana Ross, Brigitte Bardot, and even nods to “West Side Story,” it’s clear that Mamma B wanted to take her fans on a trip back in time.


Co-directed with Adria Petty, the clip is drenched in vintage-hued colors and retro clothes as the singer dances around various setups that not only pay homage to the '60s but also the '80s and '90s thanks to a good dash of “Fame,” “Flashdance” and even En Vogue thrown in for good measure. Beyonce looks characteristically flawless in varying degrees of pregnant. The video is the latest entry into the already iconic videography of the 30-year-old.


While much of it is memorable and eye-catching, the key scene comes at the 1:58 mark when a sassy, posin’ Beyonce army pans across the screen, putting into perspective all those aforementioned sides. She sashays, shimmies, swaggers and is generally sexy in her pop art dance studio. The scene really sums up that Beyonce is the sum of many super cool parts.


Check out the full video, as well as fan reaction to the clip, after the jump, and let us know which part of the video is your favorite in the comments!

'X Factor' Judges Simon Cowell And L.A. Reid Answer Our Burning Questions


Were you dying to find out why â??X Factorâ? host Steve Jones appears in a truck more than on a stage? Did you know that â??The X Factorâ? judge L.A. Reid used to be a drummer in a Cincinatti R&B group called The Deele? (Think of them as The Whispers but with less awesome facial hair.) Wondering if Justin Bieber â?? who gets name-dropped approximately 53 times an episode â?? will ever make an appearance on the show? Well, then this video is for you!


I sat down with â??X Factorâ? guru Simon Cowell and his judging cohort L.A. Reid and forced them to answer all my random, burning questions. Sure, we talked newsy stuff, too, but once I got the business out of the way, the fellas really loosened up and indulged my inner obsessive stan. Watch Cowell and L.A. giggle as we discuss the finer points of walking in slo-mo (a topic I seem to be obsessed with), exactly which part of Boyz II Menâ??s â??End of the Roadâ? L.A. Reid wrote and whether we can expect the original line-up of Deele to reunite on the â??X Factorâ? stage.

Remembering Steve Jobs Through Music And The iPod



This morning, the world continues to mourn the loss of Steve Jobs, the Apple co-founder and former CEO that pioneered computers with the Mac and iPad and revolutionized how we listen to music with iTunes and the iPod, who passed away yesterday at the age of 56 after a years-long battle with pancreatic cancer.


Jobs' impact on the worlds of music, movies and computers was profound. He didn't just create new and better techie toys for us to enjoy, he fundamentally altered the way we communicate, how we work and the way we access and consume entertainment.


He was a private man, but one thing we do know for certain about Steve Jobs is that he loved music. So in his honor, let's take a look back at the invention that changed sound – the iPod. The iPod has become so engrained in our culture that I'm sure many people reading this can't even remember a time when they couldn't take their entire music library with them everywhere they went.


In the spirit of celebrating Jobs' genius and his contributions to music, here are some of our favorite iPod commercials.

Most of our study of Hip-Hop Comebacks

By Zachary Swickey

Rhyme-spitters, such as Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Jay-Z lyrical abilities thanks to the rap game is alive and well in the year 2011. Weezy is reportedly on the line to sell approximately 850 -900-k Tha Carter IVand copies of the view of the Court of is one of the most talked about RAP albums ever (not to mention, is pretty Damn good). The initiator of the musicians in the world of music with such a fast pace, it is easy to forget some of the recent heavy-hitters.

Some of the musicians inexplicably lost their luster, or in the public eye will disappear completely, but sometimes they revive his career as a tomb. Take Dr. Dre, for example. The Doc published the legendary Chronic hip hop album way back in ' 92, but his career was in essence already exists in the main part of the end of the 90 's. It was until he met with the lanky, white boy named Eminem from Detroit. Finally, seven years later – after signing one of the hottest new artists: n-rap, he released 2001, his follow-up, which was a great success, selling more than twice as many copies as debuted. And who knows, maybe the doctor is still a comeback possible to secure the release of his third album,, Detox, which Chinese Democracy is fast becoming RAP.

There are a number of musicians, which we strongly encourages the use of the microphone, and aerial cobwebs, and by providing us with a swagger meets comeback albums, we have pahoinvoivia. The following are the five best hip hop comebacks that we find ourselves craving.

OutKast
I had included Outkast, first of all, because the new version from the duo has been anticipated, such as the recent rap-albums. The effects of inflation, the double album, which was really only in the solo works, packaged together (which went to the astounding 11 x Platinum), as well as of the 2006 movie soundtrack "Idlewild", Outkast is not exempt from a true collaborative effort since 2000 Stankoniaadored: n, which was held at the time of the instant classic. The two have been hinting about the new year, but as yet no concrete information is available. Fervor, which is spreading on Twitter, when Big Boi, finally, to indicate a new album could not even imagine. Hip hop scene of the bomb to explode!

50 Cent
You may be thinking, "what? 50 Cent really? "Yeah really. During his career is slowly-but-surely (with icons, such as Val Kilmer, Bruce Willis and Robert DeNiro), 50, was not a substantial hit album after the … Massacre , his second version in 2005. Heavily publicized in head-to-head publication Kanye West proved to be quite a unhype worthy, Curtis, the third since his version does not sell even half as many albums (when all was said and done). His next release, and the Before I Self Destruct, there is hardly any mention of, and largely removed. We'll see how his next album turns out to be, but the leaked track "Outlaw," failed to impress anyone actually heard.

DMX
Where to begin … DMX is someone you can directly up to the late "did not want to mess with, in real terms.
