Pink Enlists Eminem For The Truth About Love Track

'Handshake. Nothing signed. Done,' singer tells Herald Sun on enrolling Em for her song 'Here Comes the Weekend.'
By Jocelyn Vena

<a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/pink/artist.jhtml">Pink</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/eminem/artist.jhtml">Eminem</a> liked working together so much on his 2010 <a href="/news/articles/1640718/eminems-wont-back-down-featuring-pink-hits-web.jhtml">Recovery track, "Won't Back Down,"</a> that when she needed some assistance on her forthcoming <a href="/news/articles/1689860/pink-the-truth-about-love-album-blow-me.jhtml">The Truth About Love,</a> she asked the Detroit-bred MC to help her out."He said, 'Do you want to do a song with me?' 'F--- yeah!' I said, 'Do you want to do a song with me?' and he said, 'F--- yeah!" Handshake. Nothing signed. Done," she told <a href="http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/music/pink-turned-down-judging-spot-on-the-voice-australia/story-e6frf9hf-1226445859973" target="_blank">Australia's Herald Sun</a> about their deal which led to an "alternative club banger" dubbed "Here Comes the Weekend."<div class="player-placeholder right" title="Pink Reveals The Star Behind Her Album" id="vid:816139" width="415" height="255"></div>While fans will have to wait to hear their second collabo, she shared that she thinks the twosome may have a third, which will focus on their equally sassy and witty sensibilities. She added, "I think we have another song in our future that will be funny and sh-- talking." In addition to Em, Pink also got some help from Lily Allen (now <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2012/08/03/lily-allen-changes-professional-name-pushes-forward-with-new-album/">Lily Rose Cooper</a>) on a track called "True Love" and Fun.'s Nate Ruess on a tune billed as "Just Give Me a Reason." But, there's another collaboration that just might have all those others beat. She told us earlier this summer that her, <a href="/news/articles/1689959/pink-willow-truth-about-love.jhtml">daughter Willow</a> also appears on the album."She plays bells on 'How Come You're Not Here,' and she plays bass on a song called 'Timebomb.' She's actually quite talented for a 13-month-old!" Pink said. "There was a basket of sh--, and she came over and pulled out the bells and started banging on them, and I was like, 'Record it!' And then she went up to the bass guitar on 'Timebomb' and started plucking away. She's actually pretty good! She's better on bass than I am! She plays piano, she bangs sh--, she's either going to be violent or a percussionist ... or a violent percussionist."Which Pink collaboration might be your favorite? Give us your predictions in the comments!<div class="player-placeholder right" title="Has Motherhood Affected Pink's Songwriting?" id="vid:816538" width="415" height="255"></div>

Christina Aguilera Talks 'Lotus' and 'The Voice' With Jay Leno

Christina Aguilera chatted up Jay Leno Friday, rocking a form-fitting dress and pink and purple hair. There were tons of topics to choose from — Christina herself describes this particular time in her life as "exciting." We don't know what your definition of "exciting" is, but we'd say that leaving a top-rated reality competition series, debuting a new album and just, well, being Christina Aguilera in general is definitely ours!

OK! GALLERY: STRIPPED AND DIRRTY! OK!'S ULTIMATE CHRISTINA AGUILERA PHOTO GALLERY!

Of course, Jay had to ask Christina about her decision to leave The Voice after this season.

"I think what makes the show really special and why people appreciate it is the four of us [Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Christina] are artists. And we have to go out there, and we have to experience our fans, do our shows, record our records and be artists ourselves so that we can be great coaches," Christina said. She added that she will be back, but for now, she has to "fulfill" her "creative soul."

Speaking of that creative soul: Christina explained that her latest album, Lotus, is "about that unbreakable flower that withstands the test of time, through the harshest of weather conditions, to tough surroundings, it thrives and survives, and stays strong."

"So it's a little autobiographical," Jay remarked.

Christina laughed, but we were thinking the same thing as Jay! Christina admitted she was, too: "Of course...Fighter!" she said, referencing her 2003 hit.

The first single off Lotus is the sexy "Your Body." Judging from the video, the song could have been called "Your Bodies," plural, because Xtina has some fun with several different guys.

Lotus is out next month. Will you be buying it?

Justin Bieber's 'As Long As You Love Me' Video: Growing Up Is Hard To Do

Bieber dives headlong into adulthood — and takes a beating from Michael Madsen — in his brand-new video.
By James Montgomery

When Justin Bieber dropped his <a href="/news/articles/1684446/justin-bieber-boyfriend-video.jhtml">"Boyfriend"</a> video back in May, he made one thing very clear: He's all grown up.Yes, with its cool cars, hot clothes and even hotter women, "Boyfriend" was precisely the kind of video a newly minted 18-year-old would make, had they the means (and the relationship with <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2010/09/24/lil-x-director-x/">Director X</a>). It was a supercharged, supremely budgeted man's fantasy, and, much like manhood itself, there was nothing subtle about it.<object width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="embeddedPlayer" data="http://videoplayer.vevo.com/embed/embedded" style="visibility: visible;"><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="flashvars" value="playerType=embedded&videoId=USUV71201064&playlist=false&enableDomScan=true&siteSection=MTV_mtv.com&playerId=62FF0A5C-0D9E-4AC1-AF04-1D9E97EE3961&autoplay=0&endScreen=play&cc=US&cultureName=en-US&cultureIsRTL=False&sbId=14A00605-7DB5-4492-B67B-CB2093BD89DD"></object>And while the same can be said about his brand-new "As Long as You Love Me" clip — it's about a subtle as a hammer to the head — that's where the similarities between the two videos end. Director Anthony Mandler tones down the excess in favor of a genuine grittiness, and, in the process, makes "Boyfriend" look like child's play. If that clip was a fantasy ride, well, then "ALAYLM" is a reality trip. Adulthood isn't all fun and games, after all.Part tragic love story, part pulpy thriller, the new vid finds Bieber flexing his acting muscles opposite Michael Madsen — that'll put hair on his chest — who plays an overprotective father/probable career criminal with a penchant for gaudy fashion (which is to say, the same kind of role he's been playing for 20 years now). Biebs has only the noblest of intentions for his daughter, but Madsen refuses to give their relationship his approval — a point he drives home when he advises JB to "hit the road."Of course, given that this is a tragedy, Bieber doesn't listen, and, in-between some scenes of the young couple exploring the limits of their love — definitely his most adult to date — we learn that JB plans on rescuing his girlfriend from the grips of her father, via a late-night train station rendezvous. As you might expect, this doesn't sit particularly well with Madsen, who confronts Bieber and dishes out a savage beating (though at least he doesn't <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLTqecGbdCc" target="_blank">cut his ear off</a>) while his daughter looks on in horror.And while you'd think all that violence would be enough to further cement his love interest's desire to flee, sadly, she leaves Bieber standing at the train station, and at clip's end, he is heartbroken ... and alone. For the first time, Bieber doesn't get the girl, and the message seems to be clear: Being a grown-up ain't all it's cracked up to be.In a lot of ways, "As Long as You Love Me" is probably a risk for Bieber; he dares to dirty up his image and isn't afraid to take a beating. Those scenes of violence are are particularly vivid, as are the subsequent performance shots where Bieber belts out the tune with blood dripping from his face. It's a credit to his newfound maturity that he'd trust Mandler's vision and allow the "ALAYLM" video to go to such great lengths. This is in no way a fun clip, but, then again, adulthood isn't supposed to be fun. Bieber seems to have figured that out, and, in doing so, he's only further separated himself from his tween-pop forefathers. They'd never go to the lengths or the depths he does here, mostly because they were probably afraid to grow up. It's clear Bieber isn't.What do you think of Bieber's grown-up video for "As Long as You Love Me"? Leave your comment below!

Miley Cyrus To Play 'Two And A Half Men' Love Interest?

Former Disney star rumored to play a 'sexy' new catch for Jake Harper.
By Jocelyn Vena

"Two and a Half Men" might be adding some girl power: <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/cyrus__miley/artist.jhtml">Miley Cyrus</a> is rumored to appear on the show next season.According to a source, the actress/singer will play the love interest of the show's "half man," Jake Harper (Angus T. Jones). <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/337331/two-and-a-half-men-s-new-woman-miley-cyrus-to-guest-star-on-hit-comedy" target="_blank">E! News</a> reports that she will appear in several episodes as a new girl who catches Jake's eye.While reps for both the show and the actress have yet to respond to MTV News' requests for comment, the source said Miley's character will be "sexy" and the part will be "rife with comedy." Her part on the hit CBS show will welcome the "Hannah Montana" star back to the small screen after she <a href="/news/articles/1656023/miley-cyrus-post-hannah-montana-whats-next.jhtml">hung up her "Hannah Montana" wig back in January 2011</a>."Two and a Half Men" is just the latest news for Cyrus. In addition to her work in the big-screen FBI-themed comedy <a href="http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2011/10/13/miley-cyrus-so-undercover-joshua-bowman/"> "So Undercover,"</a> set for release later this year, she has also been busy planning her <a href="/news/articles/1686727/miley-cyrus-liam-hemsworth-engaged-timeline.jhtml">wedding to fellow star Liam Hemsworth</a> and working on a <a href="/news/articles/1686813/miley-cyrus-sexy-album-liam-hemsworth.jhtml">new album</a>.Earlier this summer, Cyrus began work on her next batch of music, which will reportedly show her growth not only musically, but also as a person. Working with the likes of Pharrell Williams and Hit-Boy, an insider said she is "having fun making music for the first time in her career. ... We are watching a young girl turn into a young woman."Miley is also making headlines for her new 'do: She chopped off her hair over the weekend and tweeted a photo of the <a href="http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2012/08/13/miley-cyrus-haircut/">cropped, platinum-blond look</a>. Of the new hairstyle, she wrote, "Never felt more me in my whole life."

'X Factor' Judges Discuss 'Bizarre' Performances, Infighting

Britney Spears admits the other judges 'ganged up' on her when they disagreed with her critique of a contestant.
By John Mitchell

"The X Factor" judges <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/spears_britney/artist.jhtml">Britney Spears</a>, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/lovato__demi/artist.jhtml">Demi Lovato</a>, L.A. Reid and Louis Walsh, the British "X Factor" panelist who has been sitting in for Simon Cowell while he recovers from bronchitis, are in Kansas City, Missouri, as auditions for the second season of the reality singing competition continue. The group gave <a href="http://www.toofab.com/2012/06/11/britney-spears-x-factor-bizarre-auditions-exclusive-video/" target="_blank">their first interview</a> since Spears and Lovato were announced as judges at the Fox upfronts.The judges discussed the "bizarre" performances they've seen, how they get along, whether Spears' and Lovato's careers as performers make them more sympathetic or critical of the contestants, and the one time everyone ganged up on Britney."I feel like we've had a little bit of bizarre performances overall," Spears said of the Kansas City performances. "There have been some good ones, but for the most part, there's been some that were pretty bad!"<img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://c.gigcount.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.11NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEzMzk*NTY5MzE5MjMmcHQ9MTMzOTQ1NjkzNTI*MiZwPSZkPSZnPTImbz1jMGY3ZmFmYjY*OTU*MTQzYTBjYWM1Zjdh/NjVlM2ZhMiZvZj*w.gif" /><object name="kaltura_player_1339456930" id="kaltura_player_1339456930" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowNetworking="all" allowFullScreen="true" height="260" width="460" data="http://cdnapi.kaltura.com/index.php/kwidget/wid/0_3t3vyk0o/uiconf_id/48502"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowNetworking" value="all" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="movie" value="http://cdnapi.kaltura.com/index.php/kwidget/wid/0_3t3vyk0o/uiconf_id/48502"/><param name="flashVars" value=""/></object>Reid admitted that he and Spears "get along good," but that much like Cowell, Walsh has been the quippy thorn in Reid's side.Luckily for Walsh, though, he does get along with the two women judges. "Britney likes me and Demi likes me," he said.Asked which judge the rest of the team tends to agree with the most, Reid said that Spears has the best eye for contestants that have that special something. "We tend to agree with Britney more than others. Honestly, I'm being funny, but she has amazing taste.""You ganged up on me one time though," Spears quickly countered, half-jokingly. "You three guys did. One time, [and] it wasn't nice!""One time out of 75 auditions, that's not bad," Reid replied.As for what makes Spears happiest when judging, she said, "It's the best feeling when someone comes onstage and just makes us want to stand up and gives us energy."Having made their names as entertainers, both Spears and Lovato admitted that their careers have helped them relate to the contestants because they've "been in their shoes." But it's a double-edged sword because it has made both judges more sympathetic to the show's contestants, particularly when they have to deliver bad news."It's something I've definitely had to learn. At first, I really didn't even want to do it," Lovato said of having to criticize contestants. "It's easier to say, when you're having meetings with people, 'Oh yeah, it will totally come easy,' or something. But when I got in the seat and had to give negative criticism to somebody ... it sucks. But they're asking for your advice, and by stepping on that stage, they also know that you could not like their performance. They're taking a chance, and I'm going to take a chance by telling them something that I believe."The interview comes on the heels of news that all four judges <a href="/news/articles/1687014/britney-spears-demi-lovato-x-factor-auditions.jhtml">walked off the set</a> after a disastrous audition in which a contestant — who reportedly wasn't a particularly talented singer — sang with his back to the panel. "It was really awkward," a source told <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20602844,00.html" target="_blank">People.com</a>. "They didn't want to waste their time."<a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20602881,00.html?xid=rss-topheadlines" target="_blank">People</a> also reported that Spears is proving to be a tougher judge than many expected. A source told the magazine, "She's got a really good instinct, and when she loves something, she looks like she wants to dance on the desk. When she doesn't like someone, she is incredibly tough."For her part, the pop star insists her firm stance is in the best interest of the contestants. "It's all tough love ... I promise!" Spears <a href="https://twitter.com/britneyspears/status/212289663422042112" target="_blank">tweeted</a> along with a link to the People article.<div class="player-placeholder right" title="Britney Spears Explains Why She Wanted To Be A Part Of 'X Factor'" id="vid:769620" width="415" height="255"></div>

Out on the town in London recently, where he's filming All You Need is Kill, an exhausted-looking Tom Cruise managed a halfhearted smile at paparazzi who lined up to photograph him.

This was odd for the star, who is known for his boundless energy and dazzling charm, qualities that helped him become one of the world’s biggest movie stars.

Since third wife Katie Holmes blindsided him by filing for divorce in June, he has lost his swagger — and enough weight to seem like a shell of his former action hero self.

Insiders say it was his unwavering devotion to Scientology that cost Tom his marriage to Katie. And it wasn’t the first time that the controversial religion — which allegedly controls every aspect of his life — had destroyed one of his relationships: His breakups from second wife Nicole Kidman and girlfriend Pene?lope Cruz were also linked to Scientology’s stranglehold over the actor.

Red Carpet Confidential: Vanessa Williams Sought Counseling For ?666 Park Avenue? Role

Playing the wife of the devil on 666 Park Avenue gave Vanessa Williams reason to pause.

“I talked to one of my friends who is a spiritual adviser, and asked her about any special protection that I should have to make sure that we weren’t delving into something that might be harmful or too dark,” she tells me this week during the supernatural thriller’s premiere held at Crosby Street Hotel in NYC.

“She guaranteed me that everything would be fine, and I did a little meditation just to clear things up.”

OK! GALLERY: STARS WALK THE RED CARPET AT 43^RD NAACP IMAGE AWARDS

One thing that pleased 49-year-old actress is the transition from lighter fare like Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty.

“I thought it was intriguing,” she says. “I like the fact that it’s different from what I’ve been doing in the past six years, and I’m always willing to stretch myself. I’m up for a new challenge.”

OK! GALLERY: KIM KARDASHIAN & VANESSA WILLIAMS FLY TO ATLANTA TO FILM ‘MARRIAGE COUNSELOR’

While Kim Kardashian joined her onscreen in the Tyler Perry film The Marriage Counselor, don’t expect to see the reality star stopping by the set of 666 to put in a guest-starring appearance. Vanessa has others on her shortlist.

“I would love to see Judith Light, who I worked with for four years on Ugly Betty on the show,” Vanessa says. “She’s phenomenal. She just won a Tony, she’s fantastic, and I think she is the perfect Upper East Side lady that would certainly have an apartment in the Drake.”

She adds, “Certainly any of my Betty cast or Desperate Housewives cast would be fine, and I think it would be pretty intriguing, too.”

Catch Vanessa on 666 Park Avenue., which premieres Sunday at 10 p.m. ET on ABC. And check out her skincare line, Revitalistic, which is available now.

Have Angelina Jolie, Miley Cyrus Caught 'Fifty Shades' Fever?

Jolie rumored to be in talks to direct the film, while Cyrus is currently reading the E.L. James novels.
By Jocelyn Vena

It seems that everyone has the fever these days. That fever is for the steamy erotic novel "Fifty Shades of Grey." And there are two more Hollywood A-listers who are potentially getting all hot and bothered.Well, one of them is, at least.Angelina Jolie had been rumored to be in the running to direct the big-screen adaptation of the E.L. James novel. <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2012/06/fifty-shades-of-grey-heating-up-with-angelina-jolie-talk/" target="_blank">Deadline</a> reported that the film's studio had had a "conversation or two" with the actress about possibly helming the sexy film franchise. The trilogy follows the S&M relationship between shy college coed Ana Steele and her domineering billionaire beau, Christian Grey.<div class="player-placeholder right" title="Would Nina Dobrev Be In 'Fifty Shades'?" id="vid:768309" width="415" height="255"></div>However, Jolie's rep tells <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/angelina-jolie-direct-fifty-shades-grey-332449" target="_blank">The Hollywood Reporter</a> that there haven't been any talks with the studio, Universal Pictures' Focus Features, about her coming on board to direct.Well, with the studio on the lookout for not only a director but also a leading lady, they might want to call up the <a href="/news/articles/1686727/miley-cyrus-liam-hemsworth-engaged-timeline.jhtml">newly engaged Miley Cyrus</a>. One day after announcing her impending nuptials to "Hunger Games" star Liam Hemsworth, she <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/mileycyrus" target="_blank">tweeted</a>, "Reading 50 shades of grey next to the oldest dude ever. #awkward."Even if Cyrus doesn't get the part of Ana, she is working on her own sexy project. The singer is currently hard at work on her <a href="/news/articles/1686813/miley-cyrus-sexy-album-liam-hemsworth.jhtml">next studio album</a>, which sources say will be "very adult and sexy." The insiders add that Miley's music is reflecting her personal life, as she plans her wedding and approaches her big twentieth birthday later this year. The insider continues, "We are watching a young girl turn into a young woman."But back to "Fifty Shades." Since the phenomenon took off, everyone from <a href="/news/articles/1686739/rock-of-ages-fifty-shades-grey-malin-akerman-julianne-hough.jhtml">Julianne Hough</a> to <a href="/news/articles/1684979/nina-dobrev-ian-somerhalder-fifty-shades-grey.jhtml">Nina Dobrev</a> to <a href="/news/articles/1685313/ian-somerhalder-fifty-shades-grey.jhtml">Ian Somerhalder</a> has opened up to MTV News about the novels, whether because they are fans or because they have an interest in tackling one of the roles.<div class="player-placeholder right" title="Mob Wives Recite Some Sultry '50 Shades Of Grey' Passages" id="vid:784812" width="415" height="255"></div>
