Avril Lavigne: Mani-Pedi Pampering
Treating herself to a relaxing afternoon, Avril Lavigne was spotted at a Los Angeles nail salon yesterday (September 29).
The ?Complicated? songstress got a manicure and pedicure treatment before making her exit and trying to avoid the paparazzi.
And while there are rumors that Avril has a bun in the oven, it turns out she?s definitely not pregnant.
Her rep told press that Lavigne isn?t carrying a child, despite reports that claim Avril?s baggy clothes were an attempt to conceal a baby bump.

Jay-Z Throws A Carnival For College Kids' Scholarships
Jay's foundation set up the Ferris wheel in New York on Thursday to raise funds for university-bound students' scholarships.

NEW YORK — On Thursday night, Jay-Z hosted a carnival at the Hudson River Park pier for his Shawn Carter Foundation. But it wasn't all Ferris wheels and funnel cakes — unfortunately Momofuku doesn't make those. The event was called Making Ordinary Extraordinary, and it sought to raise funds for college scholarships.
MTV News caught up with Mr. Carter at the event, where he said the evening was about having fun while raising money for a good cause. Jay said two of the worst things in life are a waste of talent and a person who applies him- or herself but is unable to advance due to financial hardship. He hoped this foundation would help ease such burdens and assist people in recognizing their potential.
"Just providing opportunity and seeing what people do with that opportunity. If you want to go further and you want to further your education, just giving someone that extra little push [so] that maybe you'll turn out to be someone special," Jay said.
Jay and his mother, Gloria Carter, started the foundation in 2002 to help those facing socioeconomic difficulties further their education at institutions of higher learning. The foundation started with one student earning a full ride through college and grew to offer 50 scholarships to students in 50 different states annually from 2003 to 2005. More than 750 students have been awarded scholarships totaling in excess of $1.1 million, and nearly 500 kids have taken part in the foundation's college tours — some even rode the bus with Jay's mom.
"My mom has been running this for a number of years," said Jay. "My mom gets on the bus and takes the kids and takes them to their orientations and she's been riding around the college. It's a real grassroots thing that she's been doing on her own, and I'm just really trying to help her expand it so we can help more people. It started out as a Brooklyn thing, and then it started as a New York thing, and now hopefully we can take it to a worldwide thing."

Michael Jackson's Bodyguard And Chef Testify
Both describe Dr. Conrad Murray as panicked on the day of MJ's death.

Michael Jackson's bodyguard Alberto Alvarez testifies in court on September 29

The third day of testimony in the manslaughter trial against former Michael Jackson doctor Conrad Murray once again featured former members of Jackson's staff, bodyguard Alberto Alvarez and chef Kai Chase.
Alvarez took the stand first Thursday (September 29) to describe his arrival on the scene. He claimed when he entered the room, he saw Murray performing chest compressions on Jackson with one hand, and that when Murray heard Alvarez enter, he made the frantic request for Alvarez to remove several vials of propofol -- the potent anesthetic that was part of the official cause of Jackson's death -- from the room before he called for an ambulance.
Jackson's former personal chef was next to testify. After going through a list of the food items she prepared regularly for MJ and his children, mostly healthy meals like granola with almond milk and juice blends, Chase revealed that on the day of Jackson's death, she was in the middle of preparing his lunch when a worried and panic-stricken Murray burst into the kitchen and shouted for her to "get help, get [son] Prince and get security." Chase said she "did as she was told" and went into the den to alert Prince and that she did her best to keep the children calm.
Testimony is set to resume again Friday at 8:45 a.m. PT. Murray has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and administering the dose of propofol that caused Jackson's death and faces four years in prison and the loss of his medical license if found guilty.

Emma Watson, 'Perks' Co-Stars Do 'New Class' Boogie In Exclusive First Look
'I was waiting for this story, for this script, for this moment, for these people to do it with me,' Watson says of 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower.'
By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz
Emma Watson

The post-"Harry Potter" education of Emma Watson began, in a way, at Brown University. Searching for her first film after completing the boy-wizard franchise, the Ivy League actress found some unlikely career advisors in the form of her fellow college students, who told her that she simply had to sign up for "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," an adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's seminal novel.
"Honestly, I had never read the book before, but a lot of my friends at Brown were hugely into it, and when I told them I had this script, they were crazy excited," Watson told MTV News.
And just that like, through the pop-culture schooling of her peers, she'd found a flick to carry her away from Hogwarts and toward a Hollywood second act. It's fitting, then, that with "Perks" on her résumé, we've selected Watson as a member of MTV News' New Class — actors and actresses about to graduate toward greatness. The 21-year-old finds herself in good company on the movie, whose cast contains so many soon-to-break-big talents that we selected a bunch of her co-stars as her New Class cohorts.
We've dubbed Watson "Most Likely to Win an Oscar." Nina Dobrev ("The Vampire Diaries") is our Next Style Icon. Logan Lerman ("Percy Jackson & the Olympians" and the upcoming "Three Musketeers") is Most Likely to Make You Swoon, and Ezra Miller (Sundance eye-opener "Another Happy Day" and Cannes selectee "We Need to Talk About Kevin") is Most Likely to Win an Independent Spirit Award. Together they're bringing a beloved teen novel to the screen. And when we visited the film's Pittsburgh set earlier this year, all four of them were well aware of the expectations surrounding the project and professed themselves lucky to be involved.
"I feel incredible about it. I feel like I've been waiting for 'Perks,' " Watson said. "I was waiting for this story, for this script, for this moment, for these people to do it with me. I'm so glad I didn't do anything that I didn't care about."
Watson plays Sam, a high school senior who, along with Miller's Patrick, introduces Lerman's freshman Charlie to a world of sex, drugs and awkward adolescence. "I definitely tapped into some awkward childhood memories for this movie," Lerman explained. "It's been a year and a half since I first signed on to the project, so to be out here making it is a pretty big deal for me. It's cool to be working with this great cast of young actors."
Dobrev, on a break from "Vampire Diaries," echoed those sentiments. "Every hiatus, my goal is to try something different, and this is a small part in a great, fun indie that has a great script," she said of playing Charlie's sister. "It's been fun to meet such great new people. Everyone really gets along and is really friendly and fun."
Their subject matter, it should be said, is not all fun or funny. When when we showed up on set the stars were filming a raucous school-dance sequence set to "Come on Eileen," but "Perks" takes on potentially controversial material about suicide, drug use and sexuality. These may be divisive topics to some, but ask any teen and he or she will say it's all part of their world.
"I don't think there will be one teenager who will watch this and not have one story or one moment that they don't deeply feel they can relate to," Watson said.

Just last night, Kourtney joined her sister Kim, as well as Scott and a few friends, as the group hit up Bowlmor Lanes in Times Square.
Sounding as if she thoroughly enjoyed her evening out, the mother-of-one tweeted, "Fun night bowling with @ScottDisick @KimKardashian @jOYCEBONELLi @SheivaG and the rest of my crazy peeps!!"

Rihanna Goes Rural For 'We Found Love' Video

Rihanna shoots her video for "We Found Love" in Northern Ireland

Rihanna is showing no signs of stopping. No, seriously. Only days after the release of her new single "We Found Love," the pop megastar has already started filming a video for the sparkly dance track.
Donning an extremely long safety-pinned shirt, bandana bikini and jeans, the 23-year-old singer was snapped smoking and looking contemplative in a cornfield in Northern Ireland. According to BBC News, hundreds of spectators took to nearby roads to catch a glimpse of the pop star during the video shoot.
Rihanna took to Bangor in Northern Ireland for the video shoot just days before she's set to perform three concerts in Belfast later this week. The jet-setting pop star's last performance was in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, over the weekend.
The Rihanna Navy was tipped off about the pop singer's video shoot Sunday when she took to Twitter. "Im shootin a video in 2 #beatDAT," she wrote, in response to a fan complaining about a lack of sleep.
"We Found Love" is Rih's lead single from her next album, dropping November 21. Produced by dance mastermind Calvin Harris, the tune was released last week via the singer's Facebook page and has rocketed to the #3 spot on the iTunes singles chart. In the "We Found Love" single art, Rihanna sports a retro, TLC-inspired outfit.

Lady Gaga Honors Jamey Rodemeyer At iHeartRadio Festival
Gay teen committed suicide last weekend after suffering years of bullying.

Just days after once again speaking out against bullying, Lady Gaga dedicated a moving version of "Hair" to teen Jamey Rodemeyer at the iHeartRadio music festival in Las Vegas on Saturday. The gay teen committed suicide last week after enduring years of bullying by his school peers, inspiring Gaga to tweet that she was going to meet with President Obama to encourage him to pass legislation outlawing bullying.
Following up on her promise, Gaga attended an Obama fundraiser in Los Angeles over the weekend, where a source told MTV News last week that she was expected to bring up the topic if the two were able to get a moment together. According to The Associated Press, Gaga was among the guests at an intimate Sunday night gathering at the home of Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg, wearing a sleeveless gown and high heels. A spokesperson for Gaga had not returned requests for comment at press time inquiring about whether the meeting of the minds had taken place.
The two-night iHeartRadio festival unfolded at the MGM Grand in Vegas and featured sets from Jay-Z, the Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Bruno Mars, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Lopez and Usher.
"We lost a Little Monster this week," Gaga said of the 14-year-old Rodemeyer during the show, as a picture of the teen was shown on a screen onstage. "I wrote this record about how your identity is really all you've got when you're in school ... so tonight, Jamey, I know you're up there looking at us, and you're not a victim ... you're a lesson to all of us. I know it's a bit of a downer, but sometimes the right thing is more important than the music."
The Amherst Police Department have opened a criminal investigation into Rodemeyer's death and are considering harassment, cyberharassment and hate crimes charges against a number of teens who may have been involved in bullying Jamey.

Red Cafe Feeling The Love With Valentine's Day Release Date
'I wanted to tag it with that big holiday and just give something that the people could give as a gift,' he tells MTV News.
By Rob Markman, with reporting by Matt Elias
It's been a long time coming, but on February 14, Red Café hopes to finally present to the world his labor of love.
It was 2005 when the Brooklyn MC first started buzzing with his street single "Bling Blaow," and two years later, he collaborated with DJ Envy from MTV2's "Sucker Free" to release their collaborative Co-Op street album. Now, Red looks forward to finally dropping his proper solo debut, Shakedown, on Bad Boy/ Konvict Muzik.
"February 14, Valentine's Day," Red told MTV News of his album release date, while on the video set for his current single "Fly Together" with Rick Ross and Ryan Leslie. "I wanted to tag it with that big holiday and just give something that the people could give as a gift — his or hers, it's all good."
Through the years, Café has had no shortage of high-powered street jams like "Da Hottest in Da Hood," "I'm Ill" with Fabolous and the Rick Ross-assisted "Faded," but his oft-delayed debut at times overshadowed his talent. Luckily, fans won't have to wait much longer, according to Red.
"We're in a good place. I'm excited about the album. I'm happy with what we have and where I'm at musically. I'm happy with the growth," he said. "We have a growing fanbase. I'm still learning a lot, but I know what my people want, and I think we have it on the album.
"I'm really, really excited. I got some big features on there, I got some big producers as well," Café said before revealing Fabolous as one of his collaborators. "I'm just ready to go. I can't wait for the tour, I can't wait for the release. I'm just ready for everything."

Wyclef Serenades His Teacher, On 'When I Was 17'
Former Fugees singer recalls trying to get out of summer school on the latest episode, airing Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV.
By Dionne Buxton
Wyclef Jean on "When I Was 17"

Before Wyclef Jean began his quest to conquer hunger in Haiti, he had to get past his first obstacle: Mrs. Serrato.
On this week's episode of "When I Was 17," premiering Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV, Wyclef speaks candidly about the trials he had to overcome to shape him into the multifaceted man he is today. Graduation time had arrived and Wyclef was ready to get fitted for his gown when his high school guidance counselor told him he was wasting his time.
"So I'm going to get sized up, and they're like, 'Well, it's not necessary for you to get sized up, because there's one class you have to finish in summer school,' " he recalled. "I'm like, 'What?' "
He soon found out that he had earned an F in Algebra 2, and in order for him to walk with his classmates, his teacher had to change his grade. So Wyclef — being the out-of-the-box thinker he is — decided an apple wasn't enough to win his teach over: He had to do what he does best to persuade Mrs. Serrato to give him a better grade.
"At 17, there's a certain confidence that you have," Wyclef said. "So I was like, 'If I sing a song for this woman, she's gonna melt and I'm gonna get a D and I'mma pass the course.' "
Wyclef grabbed his guitar and waltzed into his math class with an original song. "I was like, 'I just wrote a song for you and I would just like to share it with you.' "

Nicole Scherzinger's Night at the iHeartRadio Music Festival
Ready to join in on the Sin City concert extravaganza's second and final day, Nicole Scherzinger made her grand arrival at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday (September 24).
The "X Factor" hottie took to the MGM Grand venue in a chic black and white ensemble as she chatted with radio hosts Elvis Duran and Carolina Bermudez before taking the stage to join Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson for a rendition of the classic song "All Night Long".
Also offering up a solo effort, the former Pussycat Dolls frontwoman treated the audience to a high-energy delivery of "Club Banger Nation / Don't Hold Your Breath".
The iHeartRadio Music Festival appearance comes as Miss Scherzinger recently paid a visit to "Conan" to talk about her new gig on "X Factor".
Crediting Simon Cowell for helping her rid herself of her shyness, Nicole told, "I?m just allowing myself to just be me more, coming out of my shell, letting go. That?s Simon [Cowell]. Being around the prince of darkness has really brought that out in me."
Thankful for getting such a wonderful opportunity, the 33-year-old added, "Simon believed in me, and I?m grateful to him that he brought me on to be a part of this X-Factor team."

'Abduction' Cheat Sheet: Everything You Need To Know
Before checking out Taylor Lautner's first post-'Twilight' lead role, peruse our handy guide.

All right, Taylor Lautner fans: Today is the day you've been waiting for! The actor's action-packed thriller "Abduction" has officially opened. Here at MTV News, we've been as excited as anyone for the 19-year-old's first post-"Twilight" lead role, and we've been following the film since it was announced.
Take a look through our hand-crafted guide to the John Singleton-directed film, as we present everything you need to know about "Abduction":
A New Action Star Is Born
The buzz around the film began way back in February 2010, when Lionsgate Entertainment announced that Lautner would be starring in a film about a young man who sets out to learn who he really is after finding his baby picture posted on a missing-persons website. Shortly thereafter, a slew of name players were added to the cast, including Lily Collins, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Maria Bello and Alfred Molina.
Just before production began in Pittsburgh, MTV News caught up with Lautner to learn about the intense training and prep work he was doing for the role, which included boxing, fight training, learning to ride a motorcycle and swimming.
Selling His Strengths
Once production wrapped, the promotion machine ramped up and we got our first look at photos of Lautner on set, in character and in action.
One of our best pre-release moments came back in April when we were very lucky to snag an early look at the first official trailer, as well as an exclusive sit-down with Lautner during "MTV First: Taylor Lautner." We heard trailer commentary straight from the source, as well as the challenges he faced during filming, his kissing scenes with Collins and whether he got any bumps or bruises from all the stunt work.
Skills to Pay the Bills
It was not long before we caught up with Lautner again in San Diego, during our Comic-Con Takeover, where we learned which seasoned Hollywood pros Lautner looked to for inspiration during filming, why Lautner was so committed to the role and how the film is different from other action thrillers out there.
With about a month left before opening day, we got our first look at Lautner's stunt work, and then we gleaned a few steamy details about a certain kissing scene from Lautner's leading lady in the film. Collins also revealed key details about her character, Karen, and how she gets pulled into the cat-and-mouse chase with Lautner's character, Nathan.
When we caught up with the entire cast at the film's premiere, we learned that kissing scenes are as challenging as action scenes, the young actors carried their acting weight as much as the seasoned pros, and everyone had a blast making the film. Oh and that Lautner always makes time for his fans.
Check out everything we've got on "Abduction."

'Moneyball' Cheat Sheet: Everything You Need To Know
Brad Pitt baseball movie almost didn't happen.
By Eric Ditzian

As far as baseball books go, Michael Lewis' "Moneyball" isn't exactly an obvious candidate for Hollywood's adaptation machine. It's filled with geeky tales about the importance of obscure stats like "wins above replacement," the founding of fantasy sports and the evolution of a guy named Bill James from factory worker to baseball deity.
Yet at the center of the story is the quest of Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane to turn his small-market, cash-poor ballclub into a perennial champion. And it's that story that forms the heart of Brad Pitt's "Moneyball," an underdog sports narrative quite at home among its Hollywood antecedents.
It almost didn't happen. But like the 2002 A's, "Moneyball" beat the odds and landed in theaters on Friday (September 23). Here, in cheat-sheet form, is the story of how it all came to pass.
Spring Training
The adaptation came together in late 2008, with Pitt taking on the Beane role, Steve Zaillian ("Schindler's List," "Gangs of New York") signing on to pen the script and "Devil Wears Prada" helmer David Frankel attached to direct. Steven Soderbergh, though, soon stepped into the director's chair (or, at least, he planned to; there'd be more roster shakeups in "Moneyball" land before cameras rolled).
"My clearly stated goal is to set a new standard for realism in that [sports] world," Soderbergh told MTV News in the spring of '09. "I hope it sets a new standard. Hopefully, anybody who makes a sports movie from now on is going to have to grapple with this."
Struggling in the Big Leagues
Production was slated to begin that summer, but Sony, concerned about the commercial viability of Soderbergh's take, called for a directorial pinch hitter only days before the cinematic first pitch was to be thrown. Pitt remained hopeful.
"My gut says yes," Pitt told MTV News in August when asked whether "Moneyball" could see a ninth-inning rally. "[W]e're still trying to re-mount it. I hope we get to do it soon."
It took a while, but Pitt's prediction proved correct. "Capote" director Bennett Miller boarded the project that December, reportedly beating out "(500) Days of Summer" helmer Marc Webb for the gig. Aaron Sorkin rewrote the script and Jonah Hill signed on to play Beane's assistant (a role loosely based on Paul DePodesta, now a player-development exec with the New York Mets). Hill was an unexpected pick for the dramatic role, but the actor laughed with us last year that he wouldn't ruin the film.
"I earned the part," he said. "Every guy who is in their twenties and making movies was after that part, and it was a very tough thing. I'm really proud to have earned it, you know?"
Play Ball
Shooting began in the summer of '10. It'd be a full year before the first trailer for the film hit the Web. Gone was a great deal of the baseball nerdery, as well as Soderbergh's initial plan to present Bill James in the form of an animated narrator. Instead, Miller delivered a straightforward sports movie: Adversity! Triumph against the odds! More adversity!
"These are guys that are working in an unfair game," Pitt explained to us recently. "They are a team with no money trying to fight — it's David vs. Goliath. How are they going to be competitive? How are they going to stand a chance? They can't fight the other guys' fight; they're going to lose every time. These guys had to rethink it and rethink what they were doing."
Check out everything we've got on "Moneyball."
