Spotted: Britney Spears Takes In The Australian Sun
19 hours ago | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
Every day a multitude of stars wanders through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with our intrepid correspondents. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
While most of North America begins to settle into the crisp, cold winter months, Britney Spears is enjoying the birth of the Australian summer. She has taken her Circus tour down under for a series of shows, marking the first time that Spears has performed live in Australia. Though the shows have been wildly entertaining, things haven't gone entirely to plan. According to reports, fans walked out on the first few shows while complaining that the performance was "boring" and "stiff." That news reportedly upset Spears, whose tour promoter said, "I'm embarrassed, with such a big international entourage here with Britney, to be »

Adam Lambert clearly likes to have fun with his image. He loves the glamorous worlds of rock and roll and disco. He's not afraid to wear makeup and glitter. Plus, he likes to poke fun at people's perceptions of him, as he does on the kitschy cover for his forthcoming debut album, For Your Entertainment. But when it comes to his music, Lambert isn't shy about shedding his pop-star persona and singing about deeper emotions.
"The dress-up supports that; the fantasy element supports it. People want to talk about whether I have rock cred, whether I'm selling out, the theatricality, the gay stuff. ... Chill out! And just enjoy yourself," he told the Los Angeles Times. "It's not that deep. ... Sometimes it is deep. »

Spotted: 50 Cent Smells Powerful

Every day a multitude of stars wanders through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with our intrepid correspondents. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
50 Cent had a busy day yesterday, blowing the doors open on two new ventures as a lead-up to the November 16 release of his new album Before I Self Destruct. He premiered his new movie (also called "Before I Self Destruct") last night in New York. The film, which will be released the same day as the album, marks 50's directorial debut. It's a hard-edged tale of 'hood politics that contrasts pretty profoundly with the other product he debuted yesterday: "Power," his new fragrance. 50 met fans at Macy's in New York City for the unveiling of the new scent, just in time for the holidays. »

Madonna wants to relaunch her movie career. The '4 Minutes' singer - who has starred in a string of cinematic flops, including 2002's 'Swept Away' which saw her and then-husband Guy Ritchie lose half the £6million the movie cost to make and 'The Next Best Thing', which failed to recoup its £15 million budget in 2000 - is working on a script for a new film, but doesn't plan to star in it.

Time is running out for Kris Allen.
Not, you know, metaphorically or anything like that. It's basically the plot of his brand-new video for "Live Like We're Dying," the first single from his self-titled debut disc (due November 17). Time — here represented by a constantly diminishing digital clock located somewhere near an abandoned housing complex in the middle of the desert (no word if the Bluth Company put it there) — is eternally fleeting, and as such, we should live without fear or regret. Or, if you will, like we're dying.
And that just so happens to also be the plot of the song, a fantastic rock/pop hybrid originally written by Irish act the Script, then co-opted by Allen for his debut, somewhat understandably, »

Lady GaGa 'Not Enticed' by Hollywood Glamor and Party Life
5 November 2009 8:53 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Lady GaGa is not into Hollywood glamor and party life. To MTV News she tells the reason why stating, "To be totally honest, I don't really have any celebrity friends, I don't know anybody, and I'm not enticed by that lifestyle."
"[I also want something that] isn't this Hollywood kind of future that we imagine all pop stars go to," she explains further. "I have to find my own space. I try to reject all of that. I try to stay internal and just focus on myself."
Notwithstanding her nowadays fame, GaGa professes "If anything, getting back to my record [The Fame: Monster], I miss the past, and I've had to mourn the past and try to find a place for myself that isn't the past."
Speaking of her being idolized and praised by fans as well as some fellow music stars, GaGa shares with MTV News, "Flattery, to me, I don't know why, but that implies an »

The Cast Of 'Glee' Are Totally Not Jerks
5 November 2009 2:44 PM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
It's always a magical thing when you meet musicians or actors you admire and they turn out to be decent human beings. (We've all heard the horror stories, am I right?) Well, I'm pleased to say that I gave the cast of the hit show "Glee" cast my "Are They Jerks?" litmus test this morning, and they passed with flying colors.
Lea Michele (Rachel), Cory Monteith (Finn) and Amber Riley (Mercedes) stopped by MTV News to talk about the brand spankin' new "Glee: Music, Volume 1" soundtrack album, which just dropped this week. We snagged them at the tail-end of an intense week-long promo whirlwind, but you'd never know we were their 700th interview, given their bright faces and genuine dispositions. (700 might be an exaggeration. Sue me.)
You'll get to see my interview with the cast soon enough. We touched on everything from Madonna to Joss Whedon to off-screen romance »

Josh Duhamel loves his wife's figure no matter what shape she's in, says Fergie. The singer, who has a starring role in the upcoming movie musical Nine, about an Italian film director's life and loves, says her hubby didn't mind when she had to add a few extra pounds to her famously toned body. "When I came home from filming he was excited. He enjoys having both: the extra meat to grab when it's there and the tight stomach when that's there," she tells Cosmopolitan in its December issue. "He's never been critical."Related: Josh Denies Stripper's Sex ClaimsThe interview »

Madonna Tangled In Political Battle Over Girls Academy
5 November 2009 11:21 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Madonna is tangled in a political row surrounding her multi-million dollar girls academy in Malawi - after African officials threatened to arrest villagers protesting its construction.
The facility, which is being funded through the star's Raising Malawi charity, will provide education for 200 local girls in the capital city of Lilongwe who are too poor to afford schooling.
Construction on the school, which will cost $13.5 million (£9 million) to build, started last month but 140 villagers are demanding more money for land the government has leased to Raising Malawi for the next 99 years.
Senior government officials and executives at Raising Malawi failed to reach an agreement in talks with village representatives on Thursday in a bid to resolve the dispute - and protesters now face arrest.
Lilongwe District Commissioner Charles Kalemba says, "If we cannot agree on this and if you cannot understand that this is government land, then I will have no choice but tell police to arrest you people for blocking development work on the site."
Construction on the school is expected to reach completion by 2011.
The pop superstar has close ties with Malawi after adopting two children from the region - four-year-old David Banda in 2006 and three-year-old Mercy James earlier this year. »
Spotted: Ashley Tisdale Rolls In Beverly Hills

Every day a multitude of stars wanders through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with our intrepid correspondents. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
Apparently, "getting photographed in the front seat of a car" is the new "getting photographed shopping in Target" for stars in Los Angeles. A few weeks ago, Adam Lambert was spotted stealing a kiss from then-boyfriend Drake Labry, and a few weeks later Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner inspired plenty of "are they or aren't they?" rumors when they were seen in a car during a shopping trip. Yesterday, singer and "High School Musical" star Ashley Tisdale spent some time with music video director Scott Speer in Beverly Hills, and yes, they were spending time together in their ride.

'I try to reject all of that,' Gaga says of celebrity culture.

Though Lady Gaga is certainly one of the biggest pop stars in the world right now, you won't often catch her partying with her celebrity friends at the hottest clubs. Why? Well, Gaga says she doesn't have any.
"To be totally honest, I don't really have any celebrity friends, I don't know anybody, and I'm not enticed by that lifestyle," she told MTV News. "If anything, getting back to my record [The Fame Monster], I miss the past, and I've had to mourn the past and try to find a place for myself that isn't the past."
But if she can't go back to her pre-fame days, Gaga hopes she can at least avoid the fate of the typical celebrity. "[I also want something that] isn't this Hollywood kind of future that »
Spotted: Rihanna Is Ready For Takeoff

There's something about a star in an airport that is always sort of appealing. Perhaps it's the one true thing that equalizes celebs with everybody else, because even if an actor or musician is booked in first class, that person still has to pass through security and wait by the gate until boarding. And as Rihanna showed the world yesterday, she has the same philosophy as a lot of people when it comes to flight attire, erring on the side of comfortable and casual. The singer made her way through the security checkpoint at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York yesterday, dressed »

Guttenberg's New Role Is Close To Home
4 November 2009 4:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Steve Guttenberg will poke fun at his status as an '80s icon in his latest movie role.
The actor was king of the box office during the 1980s, starring in four major movie franchises; Three Men and a Baby, Police Academy, Cocoon and Short Circuit.
He has since been forced to reinvent himself to stay in the spotlight, appearing on reality show Dancing with the Stars and even embarking on a new career as a stand-up comedian.
In his latest role, in romantic drama It's Not You, the 51 year old plays an ad executive who is forced to reinvent himself after struggling to live up to the success he enjoyed earlier in his career.
And Guttenberg admits there are parallels between his life and that of his character Nate Shepherd.
The actor tells WENN, "It's about a man who reinvents himself. Everyone has to reinvent themselves to stay in the game, whether you're Madonna or Paul McCartney."
Morris S. Levy, the movie's producer, adds, "It sort of mirrors Steve Guttenberg's life as an actor. The writer/director (Allie Dvorin) actually changed a lot of the material, to make (Nate Shepherd) more of the '80s character that Steve was.
"In the opening scene we find out that he came up with one of the most famous catchphrases of the 80s, but he gets fired in the (film) because he's behind the times.
Levy is hoping It's Not You is a big box office hit and kickstarts Guttenberg's career - in the same way The Wrestler turned Mickey Rourke from a has-been into a Golden Globe winner.
Levy says, "People forget, Steve was in six films in the 1980s that made over $100 million. When ticket prices were $2.50. That's $200 million, $300 million films now.
"How many actors have done that? And he's still young.
"With Mickey Rourke coming back in the Wrestler.... And I don't think Mickey Rourke was a beloved character. So we have a shot at that." »
Dolph Lundgren Filmed 'Command Performance' In Bulgaria, Despite Russian Inspiration
3 November 2009 12:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Dolph Lundgren may have been inspired to write his new direct-to-dvd film, "Command Performace," by events in Moscow, but he had to move the production down to Bulgaria, given its modern terrorism subject matter. The veteran action hero, who directed, stars and co-wrote (with Steve Latshaw) the movie, couldn't find a way to film it all in Russia, but he still wants to release it in the country where it all began.
"I got the idea from a concert that Madonna gave for [former] Russian President Vladimir Putin," Lundgren told MTV News. Like the pop star in "Command Performance," Madonna gave an exclusive concert in 2006 for Putin and his daughters.
In the film, however, Lundgren plays a drummer in the band who must take on a group of terrorists who invade the event and turn it into a hostage situation, taking the Premier and singer at gunpoint. Such a story proved »

Spotted: Britney Spears Does The Dew

Every day a multitude of stars wanders through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with our intrepid correspondents. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
James Brown was always called "the hardest working man in show business," but Britney Spears could certainly make a case for for that title (she'd be the hardest working woman, of course). She has a career-retrospective album coming out in a few weeks, and she's done dozens of dates on her high-energy Circus tour. Now she's taking it internationally, as she has a 14-date run through Australia starting on Friday. Yesterday, she found herself at the airport in Los Angeles to make her way out of the country, blend into her security detail and sip on a cup of soda from Taco Bell. »
