Flashback Friday: The Foo Fighters, 'Big Me'

Credit: WireImage
The Foo Fighters might just be the hardest-working rock band we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. The band was quietly born when Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl released a post-Nirvana demo, which snowballed into a seven-album stretch (not to mention EPs and their excellent Medium Rare compilation of covers), which brings us to today, [...]

Lil Wayne's 'Unplugged' Is 'For The Fans'

Industry insiders catch a screening of 'MTV2 Presents: Lil Wayne Unplugged,' premiering Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV, MTV2 and MTV.com.

The music industry's biggest movers and shakers were on hand Wednesday night for a screening of "MTV2 Presents: Lil Wayne Unplugged." Weezy's "Unplugged" premieres Sunday at 9 pm ET/PT on MTV, MTV2 and MTV.com, but the specially invited guests gathered in New York City's Bar Basque for an advanced preview.

"I haven't seen an intimate portrait of Lil Wayne in a while," said Hanif Sumner, director of PR for The Source. "He's been away, came back, had to jump into Young Money, and this is a good opportunity for us to see why we're still fans of Lil Wayne. He did a new track off of Tha Carter IV that I didn't expect, and he did a lot of joints that weren't commercially all over the place but fans would know. So it's really something for the fans."

Brian "B.Dot" Miller, content director for RapRadar.com, was also impressed. "I thought it was really good. Wayne definitely deserved to have his 'Unplugged,' " he said. "I think he stands up against Lauryn Hill, the Jay-Z 'Unplugged' — he's right there. The energy was there, Wayne was in the zone and, you know, he's the best rapper alive."

While Miller placed Wayne's special on equal footing with Hov's 2001 "Unplugged" performance, Vibe music editor John Kennedy wasn't ready to make comparisons. "I think his kind of stands on its own. I don't know where it really compares with Jay's. You know, Jay had the Roots; that was crazy. And LL [Cool J], like, there has been a lot of great ones. I think [Wayne] held his own, though."

For veteran journalist Shaheem Reid, the key to the New Orleans lyricist's performance was his versatility. "Sitting down [and] watching the MTV 'Unplugged' is just a testament to the fact that Wayne is one of the premier performers — and not just hip-hop, but in all of music," he said. "He's hip-hop to the core, but he always brings in the rock element, he brings in a little bit of the R&B. He's one of the biggest, if not the biggest, pop stars in the world."

For longtime Weezy fans, "MTV2 Presents: Lil Wayne Unplugged" puts a new twist on some old favorites. "The best thing about it was a lot of the songs that you really don't have an appreciation for that you're already familiar with — songs like 'I'm Single,' 'How to Love' and 'Lollipop.' I kinda got a better appreciation for it when you have live instrumentation and a lot of crowd participation," said Kazeem Famuyide, online editor for The Source. "It was really dope, it was real intimate. Wayne put on a really great show, and he's the most charismatic dude in hip-hop."

Don't miss "MTV2 Presents: Lil Wayne Unplugged," premiering Sunday, June 12, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV2, MTV and MTV.com.

Kourtney & Khloe Talk Kim's Bachelorette Party Plans

As part of their continued "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" media blitz, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian took time to chat with ?On Air with Ryan Seacrest? on Friday morning (June 10).

With the visit coming as the E! sisters gear up for this weekend's season six premiere of their hit show, Khloe revealed that the latest round of new episodes features two weddings - though recently engaged sister Kim's isn't one of them.

Unwilling to dish on the names of the brides and grooms, Khloe teasingly told, ?Kim hasn?t gotten married yet and our season is done, but we have quite a few other family members.?

Meanwhile, when asked about plans for Kim's sure-to-be fabulous bachelorette party, Kourtney said that it will be "wild and sexy" - though Khloe had other ideas.

The 26-year-old reminisced on her own bachelorette soiree thrown by her big sister, saying that it was ?so unsexy, so uncomfortable and unattractive. So my bachelorette party for Kim will be payback."

On that note, be sure to tune into E! on Sunday (June 12), as the all-new season of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" is set to air beginning at 10/9c.

The former White Stripes singer and his model/singer wife broke the news on Friday (June 10) via an email sent out to family and loved ones.

'Breaking Dawn' Trailer: Best Fan Squeals And Sighs

Twilighters recorded their reactions to the teaser, and we picked our faves.
By Kara Warner

At the 2011 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner presented the first look at the trailer for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1." Knowing what a fan frenzy the first teaser would create, we asked our dedicated viewers and readers to record and upload their squeal-tastic "Breaking Dawn" reactions to Your.MTV.com, and promised that the top videos would air on MTV's "The Seven" on Monday (June 6).

Naturally, you did not disappoint. The winning video is, as expected, chock-full of all the things we've come to know and love from the most die-hard "Twilight" fans: girlish squeals and gasps of delight, jumping up and down, sighs and swoons all over the place. It is filled with such genuine adoration and emotion, it's almost impossible not to be charmed by the two adorable young ladies from Denmark, who posted their video with the user name AgneteFlygerHansen.

(CHECK OUT PHOTOS OF THE "TWILIGHT" CAST'S BIG MOVIE AWARDS NIGHT.)

In addition to the delighted Danes, Sophia from Hawaii sent in her less vocal but equally intense reaction, followed by Jessika from Tennessee, who tried to control her excited screams by reacting silently. She puts her hands in front of her face, jumps up and down a bit, giddily, but keeps herself from going from silent, shaky glee to full-on screaming. Finally, there is RPad in Michigan, who also practices some of the quiet restraint Jessika did, but in doing so, comes closer to shedding more tears of joy than her fellow submitters.

The reactions don't stop there. We also solicited expert opinions from a few of the most devoted and trusted fan sites.

"I am blown away. I can't believe they showed as much as they did," Kara Hassell of TwilightersAnonymous.com gushed. "I'm so excited. I didn't think they would hit as many points as they did. I am very pleased with Bill Condon and how he treated it."

"Completely amazing, completely mind-blowing. Up until this, my favorite trailer was the 'New Moon' trailer, and Bill Condon definitely got Chris Weitz; it's got everything in it that you need," said Laura Byrne-Cristiano of TwilightLexicon.com.

"That's pretty steamy for a PG-13 movie," she added. "The thing that made me laugh in a good way right away was Rob Pattinson gripping that headboard, and hearing that crack noise is spectacular."

"The trailer was fantastic," Kallie Matthews from TwilightSeriesTheories.com weighed in. "It had way more than I thought it would, but it still just wasn't quite enough. ... I was so excited that they had Bella pregnant. The fans are excited about that and we got to see it. I am thrilled; can't wait to see the next."

Lil Wayne Wanted 'Unplugged' To Be 'Flawless'

'It's very intimate and they damn sure picked the right artist to do it,' Weezy says of bringing rap back to MTV series on June 12.
By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway

Is there anything Lil Wayne can't do? Weezy started out rapping as a youngster, but the self-proclaimed martian has since stepped into the realm of pop and rock, selling more than 10 million albums along the way. Weezy is well-rounded, for sure, and, according to him, that's what made him the perfect choice to bring hip-hop back to MTV's "Unplugged" series.

"It's very intimate and they damn sure picked the right artist to do it, because if you're not a full artist, you can't do that. You can't do an 'Unplugged,' " Lil Wayne told us after the taping last month of "MTV2 Presents: Lil Wayne Unplugged." "You have to be a full-circle artist. You have to have everything, because it's so intimate. And if there are any flaws, they will be spotted. So I suggest you be flawless."

The program, which is set to premiere across MTV2, MTV and MTV.com on Sunday, June 12, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, will feature Tunechi performing acoustic versions of select hits from his classic catalog. The show will be MTV's first televised hip-hop unplugged concert since Jay-Z and Lauryn Hill taped their respective specials in 2001 and will come 20 years after LL Cool J, A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul appeared on the original "YO! Unplugged Rap." The special comes as Wayne and his Cash Money label are preparing to release the MC's ninth studio album, Tha Carter IV, on August 29.

"Lil Wayne is an amazing choice for 'Unplugged' as he is at hip-hop's forefront — leading a new generation of artists whose appeal spans across music genres and playlists," Amy Doyle, MTV's executive vice president of music and talent, said in a statement. "Lil Wayne's skills, influence, and catalog are a powerful addition to the legacy of artists who have rocked the 'Unplugged' stage."

MTV's "Unplugged" first debuted in 1989 and spotlighted artists like Eric Clapton, Nirvana, Mariah Carey, R.E.M., Jay-Z and Bob Dylan. Now, Lil Wayne will join the ranks of music's biggest and most iconic stars.

What songs are you hoping to hear Lil Wayne perform unplugged? Tell us in the comments!

Don't miss "MTV2 Presents: Lil Wayne Unplugged," premiering Sunday, June 12, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV2, MTV and MTV.com.

'Breaking Dawn' Trailer Is 'Steamy' And 'Mind-Blowing'

Go bananas, "Twilight" fans. The trailer you have been waiting for has arrived! On Sunday night (June 5) at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, the trailer for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" finally premiered. Before the promo's debut, it had been all about teaser photos and bits of information from interviews with cast members, but now we've gotten our first glimpse at footage from the Bill Condon-directed film, which will hit screens in November.

The trailer certainly has everything Twi-Hards have been waiting for: a wedding, a honeymoon, a baby bump, as well as, yes, a shirtless Taylor Lautner. After getting a sneak peek, a number of "Twilight" experts and bloggers contributors already have taken to the Web to share their opinions about the trailer.

"I am blown away. I can't believe they showed as much as they did," Kara Hassell of TwilightersAnonymous.com said enthusiastically. "I'm so excited. I didn't think they would hit as many points as they did. I am very pleased with Bill Condon and how he treated it."

"Completely amazing, completely mind-blowing. Up until this my favorite trailer was the 'New Moon' trailer, and Bill Condon definitely got Chris Weitz; it's got everything in it that you need," gushed Laura Byrne-Cristiano, who owns TwilightLexicon.com.

(Check out photos of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and other "Twilight" stars at this year's big show!)

"Well, wow! That's pretty steamy for a PG-13 movie," she continued. "The thing that made me laugh in a good way right away was Rob Pattinson, gripping that headboard and hearing that crack noise is spectacular."

Kallie Matthews from TwilightSeriesTheories.com said, "The trailer was fantastic. It had way more than I thought it would but it still just wasn't quite enough. ...

The show will be MTV's first televised hip-hop unplugged concert since Jay-Z and Lauryn Hill taped their respective specials in 2001 and will come 20 years after LL Cool J, A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul appeared on the original "YO! Unplugged Rap." The special comes as Wayne and his Cash Money label are preparing to release the MC's ninth studio album, Tha Carter IV, on August 29.

"Lil Wayne is an amazing choice for 'Unplugged' as he is at hip-hop's forefront — leading a new generation of artists whose appeal spans across music genres and playlists," Amy Doyle, MTV's executive vice president of music and talent, said in a statement. "Lil Wayne's skills, influence, and catalog are a powerful addition to the legacy of artists who have rocked the 'Unplugged' stage."

MTV's "Unplugged" first debuted in 1989 and spotlighted artists like Eric Clapton, Nirvana, Mariah Carey, R.E.M., Jay-Z and Bob Dylan. Now, Lil Wayne will join the ranks of music's biggest and most iconic stars.

'Breaking Dawn' Trailer: Robert Pattinson Hasn't Seen It

Apparently Robert Pattinson is the only man on the planet who has not yet seen the "Breaking Dawn" trailer.
MTV News caught up with the "Eclipse" star after he won his Best Male Performance award (for the third year in a row, we might add), and asked him if he had yet seen the trailer for [...]

'Twilight,' Justin Bieber Rule MTV Movie Awards

Sneak peeks from 'Breaking Dawn' and 'Deathly Hallows' make a splash at the big show.

Hollywood may have just found the ultimate killer mega-sequel on Sunday night (June 5) when "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" ran the table at the MTV Movie Awards, taking home five big ones, including Best Movie and Best Female and Male performance wins for stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Not too shabby for a bunch of undead vampires, buff werewolves and the lady who loves them.

In the process, the kids from rainy Forks, Washington, nearly blanked the also multiply-nominated cast of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1," surely giving someone in Hollywood a great idea to stage the ultimate fan-freakout-fantasy-world showdown once the two series wrap up.

In the meantime, fans made do with lots of Pattinson and Stewart on Sunday night, along with generous helpings of Taylor Lautner and more Arnold Schwarzenegger illegitimate-kid jokes than anyone imagined from host Jason Sudeikis.

With a set that looked like a backlot fantasia, with a ring of fake grass, crystal towers, caves, butterflies, LED lights and glittery, hanging jewels, the stage at the Gibson Amphitheatre was a nod to the "Lord of the Rings" and the fantasy world of movies.

And with their hands all over each other, "Friends with Benefits" co-stars Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake proudly handed out the night's first award, Best Male Performance, to "Twilight" star Pattinson, who beat out love-triangle rival Lautner for the honor. "I really didn't think I was going to win," said the perpetually self-effacing undead star, who got a smile but no congratulatory, well, anything, from co-star Stewart. "This is kind of embarrassing now. Zac Efron was crying and stuff in that clip. ... Thanks for showing all your support to the movies. See you next year!"

Check out photos of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and other "Twilight" stars at this year's big show!

Was there any doubt whether Tom Felton would take home the Best Villain award for his truly terrifying performance of blond baddie Draco Malfoy in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1"? Flashing an uncharacteristic smile, the nice English lad said, "This will look very nice in my downstairs toilet," thanking fans for a decade of support and promising that the final installment will be worth the wait.

Poo Cocktail Supreme, a sawed-off arm, the world literally exploding all around you and the cuticle from hell: All worthy nominees, but it was Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never" 3-D concert film that took the Best Jaw Dropping Moment prize. Though it looked like the Biebs wouldn't be on hand to take home the honor, he made a surprise appearance and thanked his director, manager and family. "But most of all I want to thank my fans. I love you," said Bieber, sporting white jeans and a blue blazer over a black T-shirt.

It wasn't all just movie magic, though. Funnyman Jim Carrey promised to bring some high-tech shenanigans to the proceedings, and he didn't disappoint. The "Mr. Popper's Penguins" star showed up in a green-screen suit that featured a number of high-tech images, but mostly just dogs humping. He was on hand to introduce the Foo Fighters, who lit the stage up with a blistering performance of their new single "Walk," with a set that included six strobing movie-set klieg lights.

Alas, Potter's Death Eaters had nothing on Bryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel's showdown with Pattinson in "Eclipse," which also won for Best Fight. Pattinson bragged about winning the filmed fight, even as Howard apologized for trying to hurt him. "It's fine. I ripped your head off ... and now you're pregnant!" he said awkwardly, as Stewart cradled her face in her hands in embarrassment at his crack about their co-star's bulging baby belly.

You kind of couldn't go wrong with the Best Kiss category, especially if you're on Team Edward. But really? Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman didn't snag the traditionally Sapphic-friendly smooch trophy? Nope, not when RPattz and KStew are in the mix. Taking the stage for the third time, Pattinson sheepishly said he felt bad because he, well, didn't really feel like re-creating his smooch with Stewart from "Eclipse."

"You don't want to kiss me, do you?" he said to Stewart. "Well, I mean, it's been a long time, and ... I think we should finally go for it," she replied nervously, as the camera cut to a totally psyched Selena Gomez. "There's someone else in the audience I think will appreciate it a little more," Pattinson answered, before sprinting out to the crowd and laying a big, wet one on Lautner's mouth, forehead and hand. When he tried to snag the award from Stewart's hands, she grabbed it away and he grunted, "I wanna take you backstage!" in what amounts to PDA for these two.

Luckily for the nominees in the Best Line from a Movie category, there were no quotable muggles or vampires in the mix, so you can be sure 7-year-old "Grown Ups" star Alexys Nycole Sanchez was going to celebrate her win later that night by getting totally "chocolate wasted."

This is so cool!" squeaked the adorable moppet before reprising her money line.

The ladies in the Best Female Performance race were not so lucky, as Stewart beat out the Emmas (Stone and Watson), Jennifer Aniston and "Black Swan" star Portman. The publicity-shy actress, wearing a red leather minidress festooned with safety pins, said, "Oh, man, this is silly. It feels very incredible to be so completely supported by everybody that voted for me, it actually really, truly does. Thank you. We have obviously the greatest fans ever."

The luminous Reese Witherspoon was presented with this year's MTV Generation Award, preceded by her "Water for Elephants" co-star Pattinson, giving a touching, and quite salty, tribute to the actress, who's been his movie mother and lover.

"I'm just so lucky in my career and my life," said Witherspoon, who kindly corrected the punch line to one of Pattinson's most off-color jokes, while praising her chemistry with "Sweet Home Alabama" co-star Patrick Dempsey. "I just want to say to all the girls out there: I know it's cool to be bad, I get it ... but it's also possible to make it in Hollywood without a reality show ... so for all the girls out there, it's possible to be a good girl."

'Super 8' Exclusive Brings Us Closer To The Mystery

At the MTV Movie Awards, J.J. Abrams and Co. gave an exclusive peek at what triggers his flick's chaotic chain of events.

The masterfully mysterious marketing campaign behind J.J. Abrams' would-be blockbuster "Super 8" — which has included teasers, the super8secret.com site, TV spots and other veiled preview pieces — will officially come to an end this Friday, when the film finally opens nationwide in theaters.

Until then, however, we must turn your attention to one more bit of teasery: the exclusive extended "Super 8" clip that was presented during the 2011 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday (June 5). Introduced by none other than Abrams, executive producer Steven Spielberg, and stars Elle Fanning and Joel Courtney, this new footage takes us closer to the mystery than we've been able to get thus far.

The spot opens with six kids (Fanning, Courtney, Riley Griffiths, Gabriel Basso, Ryan Lee and Zach Mills) in the middle of shooting their own movie at a train station, late at night. The sound of an oncoming train disrupts the scene, followed by the blaring of the train whistle, a shot of a truck speeding onto the track and colliding into the train, creating a chaotic explosion, which is captured by the super 8 camera that the kids were using to film their movie. This then sets into motion a series of action sequences, all pegged to the mystery of what prompted the train crash and what classified cargo may or may not have been onboard. There are eerie non-human sound effects, quick cuts of a small town in turmoil over a series of inexplicable events, explosions, military officials trying to decide how to destroy the certain something that is causing all the destruction, and our kid heroes caught up in the middle of it.

So, wow. What does it all mean? For those who prefer not to dig too deep into trailers and teaser footage, we respect your willpower and desire to remain unspoiled. For those who've been analyzing every bit of tape since Abrams announced the film, do you have it figured out yet? What is this unidentified object that has sent this small town into an uproar and called military forces to action? Share your theories in the comments below!

MTV News has all of the highlights from the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. Relive the best moments, watch red-carpet interviews with your favorite stars and read all about what went on behind the scenes on the big night.
