Octomom Nadya Suleman in Airplane Fight with Kristen Johnston

Octomom Nadya Suleman in Airplane Fight with Kristen Johnston

What has 24 eyes, makes a lot of noise and flies? Answer: "Octomom" Nadya Suleman's kids on an airplane! Suleman took a flight from New York to L.A. on Friday night with 12 of her 14 children, including the 2-and-a-half year old octuplets. When the flight was delayed for two hours in a thunderstorm, the kids reacted predictably and started screaming. While Suleman, 35, tried to keep them quiet, another passenger -- 3rd Rock from the Sun star Kristen Johnston, 43 -- vented her frustration at Octomom.

Suleman's rep tells TMZ that Johnston (who more recently appeared on ER and Ugly Betty) marched from first class to business class to tell Suleman to control her children. Nadya responded, "How would you like me to keep eight 2-year-olds quiet?" Johnston reportedly snapped back, "Get more help!"

We're guessing that Johnston has never taken a toddler on a long flight, or she'd know that no number of well-paid nannies could stop a 2-year-old from freaking out. Maybe that's what Suleman was thinking when she shot back this retort: "Why don't you grow a baby and get a life!" Not the best comeback we've ever heard, but obviously, tensions were running high.

We know everyone likes to gang up on Octomom, but we're having trouble taking sides in this particular feud. At least Johnston could have plugged in her headphones or taken a Xanax or something -- while Nadya had to deal with the eight toddlers for the entire flight. (And the ride home. And every day after that.) To get an idea of what she's dealing with, watch the octuplets' first live appearance on Friday's episode of Today. We were exhausted just watching!

'Harry Potter' World Cup Recap: It's Down To Ron And Snape!

Find out the winner during MTV News' live stream at the 'Deathly Hallows, Part 2' red carpet, starting at 4:30 p.m. ET.

In the beginning, there were 64 wizards, witches, elves and ghosts. Each one had been thrown into a cutthroat online tournament, decided by the public and subject to the passions and prejudices of die-hard fans, all to come up with the definitive answer to the question: Who is the greatest "Harry Potter" character of all time?

Now that fantastical conundrum is down to just two people: potions master Severus Snape and Gryffindor great Ron Weasley. As of this writing, the two wizards are locked in the heated final match of MTV News' "Harry Potter" World Cup. Voting is still going on, and the winner will be announced on Monday evening (July 11) during our live stream of the New York red-carpet premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," which begins at 4:30 p.m. ET.

It's a remarkable feat that both men are left standing, considering that over 7 million votes have been cast throughout the four weeks of the tournament. Who would have guessed that Harry Potter himself would get chucked from the tournament in the Elite Eight, a victim of Snape's fanbase and his remarkable character arc? Big bad Lord Voldemort didn't even make it that far, losing in the third round to onetime Azkaban prisoner Sirius Black! And Cedric Diggory, hardly a first-tier character, was nonetheless thought to be a potential Cinderella story (given that Robert Pattison portrayed him onscreen). Yet "Potter" fans appeared to unite and overwhelm the "Twilight" set, sending Cedric to a third-round ouster.

After upsets, crushing defeats and overwhelming victories, the Final Four fell into place late last week: Snape vs. Hogwarts witch Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley vs. Black. Hermione may have been the smartest witch of her age and Ron's cherished gal pal, but none of that was enough to vanquish Snape — the man who killed Dumbledore but is ultimately redeemed by the series' end. Snape ended up with 62.7 percent of the vote, compared to Hermione's 37.3 percent. The competition between Ron and Black was much closer. One wizard is Harry's best friend; the other was Harry's dad's best friend. And in the end, barely one percentage point separated the two characters, with Ron ultimately surging forward for the win.

So where does that leave us in the final matchup? Snape obviously has the momentum, given his commanding victory over Hermione. Ron has got to be looked at as weakened, considering how he barely survived his Final Four matchup. But he's the last of the Big Three still alive, and fans of Hermione could well shift their allegiances to Ron. Anything can happen, though Rupert Grint, who plays Ron, isn't holding out much hope. When we caught up with the actor on Sunday, before the finals had been solidified, he expressed skepticism that Ron could ever defeat Snape.

"I don't think I could do that — I mean, Snape is a great character," he laughed.

Britney Spears? Beyonce? Fans Pick Their Best Albums Of 2011 (So Far)

You can vote for your favorite album of the year over on the Newsroom blog!
By James Montgomery


Britney Spears' Femme Fatale

On Wednesday, I published my picks for the Best Albums of 2011 (So Far), a list that included the likes of Lady Gaga, Eminem, the Foo Fighters and Adele, but not Beyoncé, Britney Spears or Chris Brown.

And while I definitely heard some complaints about the albums I did include (Born This Way was too low, 21 was too high, Hell: The Sequel should've been in the top 10, etc.), it seems that the overwhelming majority of folks out there had a bigger problem with the albums I didn't — namely, Femme Fatale, 4 and F.A.M.E.

So, in the interest of fairness, we launched a poll over on our Newsroom blog and asked you to vote for your favorite album from the first-half of 2011; so far, more than 18,000 votes have been cast, and Born This Way leads Femme Fatale by a slim margin. But if you haven't cast your ballot yet, don't fret, because the poll will remain open until Thursday (June 30) at midnight ET.

Vote for your favorite 2011 album right now in our Newsroom poll!

But if you remain undecided, well, then we've got some compelling arguments for you: Comments and — very open — campaigning (plus some actual compliments) from MTV.com readers and Facebook users, each making a case for their favorite album of 2011. Of course, if you feel like sounding off with your picks, do it in the comments section below. And now, on with the acrimony!

"How could you forget Britney Spears? Femme Fatale was the most anticipated album of the year. The thing I hate is that Britney doesn't get recognized enough. Femme Fatale is the best album!" — IfUSeekPeanut:)

"You guys would put Lady Gaga [on the list] and not include Britney's Femme Fatale album! I'm sorry, but despite all of the Auto-Tune and lack of song writing, it's still one of the best dance albums of the new millennium! Gaga ... OMFG, don't even get me started, her album is NOT all that! JUST 'cause she writes her own songs doesn't make them the best songs lyrically! [And] Beyoncél's 4 is not even included? Completely DELUSIONAL list!" — Tony Moreira

"Wow. Femme Fatale gets praises from pretty much everyone in the music industry and it doesn't make the list. Lady Gaga makes sales ... okay, [but] she has yet to top Britney's records (even when she pretty much gave away Born This Way)." — Jdtgu

"Adele is good but all her songs are about breakups, which is depressing, She does deserve some Grammys. And where the f--- is FEMME FATALE? Britney Spears is NOWHERE HERE? That's insane!" — jonny A.

"I was listenin' to Adele back in '07 and never looked back and I always kinda thought maybe she will be the big star she deserves to be. Her album 21 is so honest and real and vulnerable. I'm sorry but I don't think there is any album out or coming out that will be able to compare. [Also], so glad y'all shed a light on Lykke Li's album. She is a very underrated artist. I didn't think she could do better than Youth Novels, but, damn she did the damn thing on Wounded Rhymes. [It's] another classic from Lykke Li." — Mark Anthony Sanchez

"I love that there aren't just mainstream artists on this list, but I will say Femme Fatale doesn't deserve to be on it. I'm not bashing the girl because some of her songs are good (they still weren't written or conceived by her) but it's not anywhere close to these albums. I do love Adele, but I think Gaga basically murdered everyone with her album." — L3M0NAQUA

"I loved Adele's new album! Also I loved Chris Brown's new album too! Britney's was awesome!" — Kayla Copes

"Okay, so let's start voting for people with some real talent, not people that can put on a show. FOO FIGHTERS AND ADELE. There's the talent." — Carrie Heuberger

"Sorry, but you obviously placed Adele's voice at #2 and NOT her mediocre album. Yes, it WILL get the Grammys it deserves BUT it would be a dead-boring album without her strong voice ... In my opinion Adele is ranked too high, but can you blame [the writer] for ranking a HUGE voice at #2 ? Born This Way, well, it could be higher BUT it is a COMPLETE honor that it is the ONLY album from a mainstream pop artist that made it to NUMBER FREAKING FOUR!" — Spyros Venturis

What do you think? Let us know in the comments or vote in our Newsroom poll.

'Transformers': What's Next For The Cast?

As 'Dark of the Moon' threequel shuts down the summer box office, we look at what director Michael Bay and his stars have lined up next.

"Transformers: Dark of the Moon" is flashy, action-packed and dominating at the box office. And although director Michael Bay and star Shia LaBeouf have said they're retiring from the franchise, the billion-dollar success of the films means the 'bots will likely live on.

So while we've speculated about what's to come for the "Transformers" series, we also wondered what Bay and the cast may be cooking up. Read on for our breakdown of what to expect next from your favorite Autobot aficionados.

Michael Bay
The prolific producer/director always has a slew of projects looming on his IMDb page, but according to the man himself, the next Bay-directed film moviegoers will see is "Pain and Gain," a "Pulp Fiction"-style dark comedy that revolves around extortion and abductions in the Florida criminal underworld.

"It's a fun script," Bay said. "[It's] something fun to shoot fast."

In the meantime, look for plenty of Bay-produced films to hit theaters like "Ouija," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Zombies vs. Robots," to name a few.

Shia LaBeouf
LaBeouf has all but guaranteed he will not be back for future "Transformers" installments, so where will we see him next? Likely in the period gangster drama "The Wettest County in the World," starring alongside an all-star cast, though the highly anticipated film doesn't yet have a release date.

After "Wettest," LaBeouf said he doesn't currently have anything lined up. "I'm still a hired gun," he explained. "I don't know what I'm going to do next." He did express interest in a possible big-screen adaptation of "Preacher," for which director D.J. Caruso has previously named LaBeouf in citing his wish list of actors for the project.

"I love the ['Preacher'] comics," LaBeouf told MTV News. "I think Arseface would be awesome."

Tyrese Gibson
Summer 2011 has been a very good one for Gibson. He has appeared in not one, but two, box-office blockbusters. First, with his return to the "Fast and the Furious" franchise in "Fast Five," and then with "Dark of the Moon." The success of "Five," with nearly $600 million at the U.S. box office earlier this summer, put a sixth installment in motion. Universal set the release date for "Fast Six" on May 24, 2013, and although Gibson's name has yet to be officially attached, it's a good bet he'll at least make an appearance in the film.

In addition, Gibson would like to get his feet wet in the superhero movie genre, with a big-screen adaptation of Luke Cage, as he told us at the Moscow premiere of "Dark of the Moon."

"Listen, to Marvel: This is Tyrese Gibson. Get it together. Let's go ahead and shoot this comic book," he urged the studio during our interview. "Luke Cage is one of the original Marvel characters. Show some more respect," he continued. "Go ahead and get some traction going on Luke Cage."

Josh Duhamel
Duhamel has done a nice job of juggling roles in big, action flicks with work in the romantic-comedy arena. Next up for the tall, dark and handsome Duhamel is the star-studded "New Year's Eve," a follow-up to director Garry Marshall's 2010 hit "Valentine's Day." After that, it's back to the intense, action-drama side of things with "Fire With Fire," alongside Bruce Willis, Vinnie Jones, 50 Cent and Vincent D'Onofrio.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
The franchise's new "It" girl was plucked from one glamorous world and dropped into another. Huntington-Whiteley, a Victoria's Secret model, beat out plenty of hopefuls for the role (an audition she admitted she thought she bombed. The first-time actress told MTV News she hopes "Dark of the Moon" is not her last foray into acting.

"I'm really hoping to do another movie," she said. "I'm working toward that, although I very much hope to stay in the fashion industry; it's my first love. We'll see what happens. I've got no idea."

Check out everything we've got on "Transformers: Dark of the Moon."

Justin Bieber's Grammy Performance Will Be 'A Crossover,' Usher Says

The 'O.M.G.' singer looks forward to sharing the stage with his protégé on Sunday night.

HOLLYWOOD — At Sunday's 53rd Grammy Awards, Usher will be pulling double duty as both a nominee and a performer. Of course, given the massive year he just completed — with the success of his smash single "O.M.G." and as a mentor to rising phenom Justin Bieber — Ush's Grammy plans seem rather fitting.

Especially since he'll be performing with Bieber (and Bieber's pal Jaden Smith), a move that's just as much about celebrating Usher's successes as it is the successes of his young protégé.

"Having been through [the Grammys] so many times, you couldn't want for anything more than for your young protégé to have the opportunity to have one, so, in support of him having his moment, I wanted to be here," Usher told MTV News on Thursday, hours before his performance at the (Belvedere) RED launch party in Hollywood. "And also to be there to perform, to kind of tell the story of how we came together. This music business has definitely been good to both of us, and this year we have a lot to be happy for."

And just how will the dynamic duo tell that story? Well, Usher wasn't about to reveal all the details, but he did say that he's hoping their performance will show another side of Bieber ... a side most tend to overlook.

"The performance will be fun," Usher explained. "We want to get up there and just do what we do. Be comfortable, and have a great time. ... This is kind of a crossover for Justin. Having performed on so many different stages, this is the way that I wanted him to be seen and an opportunity to show the industry — a lot of the industry, that didn't believe [in him] — some of his other talents. He's going to play acoustically, and also, we'll get down a little bit."

And though Ush is up for a pair of Grammy awards on Sunday — Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best Contemporary R&B Album for Raymond v. Raymond — he's most looking forward to sharing the stage with Bieber and giving fans a look at where the young artist will be heading next.

"I'm very proud, man. I definitely saw it from the beginning, but thanks to the team that we have around us, it was made to happen. And that story has only just begun," Usher said. "The story of Justin Bieber doesn't stop with screaming girls; we need screaming fans all around the world ... a cultural experience that's much more than just fanfare. And that's what this is. That's what the Grammys will be; that's what my next phase for Justin is. This is the way I found him: I found him with a guitar in his hand, so I want him to be seen that way."

Don't miss "Snooki & Sway: Live From the Grammys," a red-carpet live stream kicking off Sunday at 6 p.m. ET on MTV.com. And stick with us all Grammy night for coverage of the red carpet, the show, the afterparties and beyond!
