Michael Fassbender Shares About 'Delving' Into Sexual Roles

For the two movies Michael Fassbender has coming out this fall, you'd think he'd have a lot of sex on his mind. After diagnosing sexual issues in "A Dangerous Method," he takes on the role of an addict in "Shame." "I guess I've sort of been delving into it a little bit with a little bit [...]

Lady Gaga Shows Off Prized Asset in Diddy Coffee Table Book


Thank you, Diddy. Thank you.

The rapper has, for whatever reason (not that he needed one) released a new coffee table book titled Culo, which means buttocks in Italian. You can guess what's in it.

Diddy, record executive Jimmy Iovine and photographer Raphael Mazzucco teamed up to compile an artistic, memorable 248-page pictorial expose on female butts.

Chief among them? Lady Gaga. Girl's got back, who knew!

Lady Gaga, Butt

Lady Gaga was born this way, baby. Well, sans tattoo.

Yeah. After all her ridiculous fashion over the years, who would have guessed one of the more shocking Lady Gaga photos out there would feature her wearing nothing.

“Raphael is a true artist,” says Diddy of Mazzucco, the man behind the image above.

“He relies on pure instinct, capturing a raw, natural sense of beauty through his lens that celebrates the female form. His work is passionate and powerful.”

That's a verbose way of spinning a book about asses, but we'll buy it.

Actually, no. Sadly, Pippa Middleton does not appear. Boycott it.

'Glee' Season Finale Exclusive: Listen To 'Yeah!' Here

During this week's episode of "Glee", the gang from New Directions took a big risk when they decided they would compete in Nationals by singing their own original songs. Well, the stakes just got a little higher.

MTV News has an exclusive first listen to one of the rival groups who will go up against the McKinley High glee club in New York City during next Tuesday's (May 24) big season two finale. In the upcoming episode, an all-female a cappella group sings Usher's 2004 club and radio smash "Yeah!," which may have the Nationals judges saying just that.

Singers replace synthesizers for the four-note melody that repeats throughout the song, and lead vocalists RaVaughn Brown and Missi Hale match the high energy that Usher, Lil Jon and Ludacris brought to the track.

Granted, a few things have been tweaked in the version for the tween-friendly show, including the length (the original is over four minutes long, while the "Glee" version comes in at three and a half minutes) and the tune's instructions to "Take that and rewind it back ... got the rhythm make ya booty go."

Also, instead of Ludacris' verse, "We want a lady in the street/ And a freak in the bed," one girl sings, "You know you want a kiss on the lips, old red." The line, "Ludacris fill cups like double D's" has also been cut from the song.

But, it's not all PG. At one point in the girls' rendition of the track, they page homage to Lil Jon's crunk hit "Get Low," singing, "From the windows to the walls" and even Mystikal's booty-happy single "Shake Ya Ass," when they urge, "Show me whatcha' workin' with."

At the 2005 Grammy Awards, the power trio of Usher, Lil Jon and Ludacris won the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Yeah!" But, will the song bring the same sort of fortune to this girl group at Nationals? Or will the glory all belong to New Directions this time? Gleeks will still have to wait a few more days to find out.

The "Glee" season finale airs Tuesday at 9 p.m. on Fox, while "Glee": The Music, Volume 6, including the three new original songs "Light Up the World," "Pretending" and "As Long as You're There," will be available on Monday.

What do you think of this a cappella group's version of "Yeah!"? Let us know in the comments section below!

'Hunger Games' Trailer: Five Key Scenes

The Reaping, Katniss' training and a tribute heart-to-heart are must-see moments from new clip.

The first full-length trailer for 2012's "The Hunger Games," starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, set the internet ablaze Monday (November 14) after its debut on "Good Morning America," and there's plenty for fans to dissect in the clip—despite the fact that it centers almost exclusively on the first half of Suzanne Collins' dystopian tome. Let the Games begin as we dive into the five key moments from the trailer:

The Reaping
Arguably the most pivotal and moving moment from the trailer, The Reaping sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the country of Panem. After Primrose Everdeen's name is selected by mentor Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) to participate in the 74th annual Hunger Games, sister Katniss steps in to take her place. "I volunteer. I volunteer as tribute," she screams as Peacekeepers hold her at bay. Baker's son Peeta Mellark is selected next, cementing the duo that will represent the impoverished community of District 12.

Katniss Hits the Bulls Eye
All those years of hunting for game outside of District 12 have paid off for Katniss. We get a look at the training session for the Hunger Games and see our heroine in action, being pretty badass with a bow and arrow. For a split-second during the scene, we catch a glimpse of some of the other tributes, including Rue and Cato. Yet, it's a wig-wearing Woody Harrleson as Haymitch who says, "This is the time to show them everything. Make sure they remember you." When the tribute pulls back, releases her arrow and hits her mark, we realize, as does Gamemaker Seneca Crane (Wes Bentley), that Katniss is the real deal.

"My Fave Moment Is ___." Tell Us on Facebook

Katniss Wears The Mockingjay
In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, a gleaming Mockingjay pin is pressed into Katniss' palm as a good-luck charm for the Games. Though we can't tell for sure who gifts her with the talisman (in the novel it's friend Madge Undersee), the Mockingjay comes to represent Katniss in the Games...and beyond.

Peeta And Katniss Share A Moment
We finally hear Peeta speak! Fans have been anxiously waiting to see how Hutcherson will play the role of Peeta, and it looks like he has perfected not only the character, but the blond hair as well. Peeta and Katniss meet on the rooftop of the training center to discuss their fates. Peeta expresses his concern in keeping his identity while fighting in the games, yet Katniss' only thought is how she will survive. It's the first time we see these two have a moment together, and there is an undeniable chemistry between them. We cannot wait to see how the love triangle between Katniss, Gale and Peeta plays out!

The Cornucopia
Our only look at the titular Games, Katniss emerges from underneath the arena to face the 23 tributes tasked with killing each other. Upon the countdown, they bolt towards the Cornucopia, a macabre collection of weapons and assets to aid their quest for victory. How will it all play out? You'll have to flock to theaters March 23, 2012 to find out!

Usher To Donate Gadhafi Money To Charity

'I will be donating all of my personal proceeds...to various human rights organizations,' singer says of concert linked to Libyan dictator.

R&B superstar Usher announced Friday (March 4) that he was donating to various charities proceeds from appearing at a private event at St. Barts linked to Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, according to a statement made to the Associated Press.

The Grammy award winner's renouncement comes after similar announcements from singers Mariah Carey, Nelly Furtado, and Beyoncé, all of whom were revealed to have performed at private concerts linked to the Middle Eastern leader, who has faced open revolt and major political uprisings since February.

"I am sincerely troubled to learn about the circumstances surrounding the Nikki Beach St. Bart's event that took place on New Year's Eve 2009," Usher said of the concert, at which he appeared alongside Beyoncé but did not perform. "I will be donating all of my personal proceeds from that event to various human rights organizations."

Usher has already begun the process, having made a donation to Amnesty International, the AP reports. The exact size of the donation is not known.

The New Year's Eve gig was reportedly for Moammar's fourth son Muastassim, who an unnamed music industry source told MTV News has a history of throwing lavish parties "jammed" with supermodels.

Beyoncé, who sang at the event, donated all proceeds from her performance to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, established in the wake of the Haitian earthquake.

"All monies paid to Beyoncé for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St. Barts on New Year's Eve 2009, including the commissions paid to her booking agency, were donated to the earthquake relief efforts for Haiti over a year ago," the "Halo" singer's publicist said in a statement to The Huffington Post. "Once it became known that the third-party promoter was linked to the Qaddafi family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause."

Singer Nelly Furtado tweeted February 28 that she plans to make similar amends.

"In 2007, I received 1million$ from the Gadhafi clan to perform a 45 min. show for guests at a hotel in Italy," she tweeted. "I am going to donate the $."

The leader of Libya since a successful military coup in 1969, Gadhafi has reportedly lost control of much of his country as a result of widespread uprisings. The United Nations voted unanimously to refer the dictator to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.

'Breaking Dawn - Part 1': The Reviews Are In!

Read what critics have to say about the latest 'Twilight Saga' installment.
By Kevin P. Sullivan

"Breaking Dawn - Part 1," the penultimate entry in "The Twilight Saga," hit theaters Friday (November 18), and millions of fans around the world will see what Bella, Edward and Jacob are up to in this installment.

Many of them won't read a single review before going to the theater, but if you are curious about what the nation's critics have to say about the latest vampire romance, we've taken a sampling that best represents the overall consensus.

Turns out, "Breaking Dawn" is just like every other "Twilight" movie. Fans won't be disappointed, but outsiders may have trouble getting adjusted, since the film doesn't take any breaks to explain what's come before. But director Bill Condon brings some nice touches with his first venture into the series.

Here's what the critics have to say.

The Story
" 'Dawn' picks up where 'Eclipse' left off, with our heroes Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart) set to wed. The wedding is as storybook as the romance, which explains why there are so many 'Twilight' moms: Bella is perceptive and patient, saving sex for marriage. Edward is loyal and has been waiting a century to lose his virginity. See a zombie be that patient." — Scott Bowles, USA Today

The Honeymoon Sex Scene
"The 'Twilight' movies have devoted three episodes to Bella Swan's clinging to her virginity despite the compelling appeal of Edward Cullen, the vampire. Now comes 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1,' in which you have to give her credit: She holds out until after her wedding. Then she and Edward fly to Brazil and a luxurious honeymoon hideaway on the beach, where the morning after her wedding night she is black and blue with bruises, the frame of the bed is broken, all of the furniture is tossed around and the draperies are shredded. Good gravy! What happened? We have no idea. The movie doesn't show us! Yes, the most eagerly awaited deflowering in recent movie history takes place entirely off-screen." — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Taylor Lautner
"As Jacob, Edward's long-suffering, oft-rejected rival for Bella's affection, Mr. Lautner has plenty of reasons to strip angry: he can turn into a wolf, for starters, and Jacob's musculature has long been one of the most special of the movies' effects. That's reason enough for Mr. Condon to get the character's shirt off, as is the unavoidable truth that Mr. Lautner, whose pumped physique and flat affect bring to mind one of those friendly pizza delivery boys in a pornographic movie, remains a dish best served with as few words and clothes as possible." — Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

On Splitting Up "Breaking Dawn"
"When the decision was made to split Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows into two films to bring that blockbuster series to a close, there was cynical talk regarding mercenary motives to milk as many dollars as possible out of the franchise. Once the films came out, however, that talk stopped, so emphatically did the massive narrative incident justify the extended length. On the basis of 'Breaking Dawn - Part 1,' though, the same cannot be said of this series ender, which feels as bloated and anemic as Bella becomes during her pregnancy." — Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter

Final Word
"The fourth film in the 'Twilight' series reveals a flash or two of real filmmaking (mostly in a suggestively grotesque birthing sequence), enough to save it from pure lousiness. But a significant number of its 117 minutes do seem like hours, and whenever certain actors take the lead and set the pace of the dialogue, time itself begins to crawl backward and the breaking dawn begins to feel like yesterday's breaking dawn, or last Tuesday's." — Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
