Is the hip-hop community starting to shift on gay rights? MTV Act's Alexandra Govere sat down with young rapper Adair Lion to find out more about his pro-LGBT stance -- a point of view he's held years before Obama's announcement -- and his song catching everyone's attention, "Ben."  Rapper Adair Lion thinks it's time for a change. After his best friend...

By Natasha Chandel Conan O'Brien and David Letterman are keeping their friends close and their enemies closer. O'Brien made an historic appearance yesterday on "Late Night with David Letterman" after 13 long years. The two late night giants came together for one common cause – bashing their other late night nemesis, Jay Leno. The late night battle feels much like an episode of "Game of Thrones," where comedy circuit brothers (Leno and Letterman) become network foes. But the kings of their own respective lands (NBC and CBS) want more, living...

Spoiler alert: No one says "you sunk my battleship" in "Battleship." But director Peter Berg has a very good explanation for that. No one said it in the movie because the Regents didn't sink the Navy's battleships. But before you get all up in arms about the omission, there is an homage to the famous admission of defeat from the Battleship pencil and paper game in the feature film. Fans just might miss it during their first go around. "We have a version of it though. There was a reference to the line," Berg promised in a recent interview with MTV News. According to Berg, the reference...

When you think of a king of England and a president of the United States your mind rarely travels to outdoor barbeques and jumping in pools, but that's just what goes on in the "Hyde Park on Hudson" trailer—and Bill Murray lights up portraying Franklin D. Roosevelt. While the film is based around real events, we're not sure how historically accurate the movie will turn out, but watching Murray take on the charm and gentle mannerisms of America's 32nd President is a jolly ol' delight. Check out the first trailer below, and learn more about...

Photo: (MTV) Okaaay, sure, we're posting the first exclusive clip of "Act'n Up with Rebecca Black" on a Friday -- but we swear that's just a coincidence. Because this 14-year-old viral singing sensation is moving on to bigger and better days with her new single "Sing It!" I met Rebecca at Ron Robinson | Fred Segal in Los Angeles to dish about her latest tune because it's PROM SEASON, people -- so DUH, we needed a legit setting to play dress up. We invented a really unique theme (you're welcome, prom committees), but don't get it twisted, the...

Photo: (Getty Images) Calling all Kardashian dolls! This Sunday (May 20) -- finally! -- is the highly anticipated season premiere of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians"! Can you believe they are already on their seventh season? Is Kris Humphries drama all done with? And does a "Kimye" story line develop? Ooh, the suspense. Last season, we saw the demise of Kim's marriage. But this season, it's already looking a bit more positive! We have chosen 3 moments we would love to see play out in the upcoming season. + Kim kleans out her closet for charity....

Hooray for Movie Awards season and the cutthroat competition between this year's very deserving group of nominees! And although the majority of the nominations were snagged by some popular wizards, bridesmaids and tributes, there is plenty of Movie Awards love and Golden Popcorn to go around. Kinda. Speaking of Movie Awards love, we have to give it up to first-time nominee Oliver Cooper for putting together this very clever campaign video and Facebook page. "These are the nominees for Best Onscreen Dirtbag, but only one of them has a proven...

If you're a fan of "Game of Thrones," the photo you see below should make you very, very happy. Your mind isn't playing tricks on you: that is indeed Jerome Flynn as the sellsword Bronn, taking aim with a fire-tipped arrow at an unseen enemy with Blackwater Bay at his back. That's right: the Battle of Blackwater is on! It's the first official photo from "Blackwater," the highly awaited episode of "Game of Thrones" season two that finally, finally, thrusts viewers into the thick of an all-out battle (as in on screen, no getting-knocked-out-and-skipping-the-fight...

Photo: (Getty Images) It's Skin Cancer Awareness month, and "tanning mom" Patricia Krentcil is making headlines for her scarily darkened skin. How do your favorite celebs compare? We've rated them on a scale of Edward (1) to Oompa Loompa (10), and asked dermatologist Debra Luftman for a few tips on how to enjoy the sunshine without looking like one of Willy Wonka's orange workers. + Florence Welch Photo: Getty Images Forget Snow White! Florence Welch is the fairest of them all! Fair skin is particularly sensitive to sunlight; however,...

Unless you happen to be madly in love with Taylor Kitsch or Brooklyn Decker, some of you have no doubt written "Battleship" off as a cheap imitation of "Transformers." How can an alien invasion action film based on a board game be all that entertaining, right? Well, we have a feeling you'll be pleasantly surprised. The opening scenes between Kitsch and Alexander Skarsgård were flawlessly executed as the pair's brotherly chemistry and Kitsch's off-kilter charm win the audience over in the first few minutes. The film continues with non-stop...

There's no gain without the pain, right? Or at least that's what Michael Bay's latest project "Pain and Gain" tells us. Starring alongside Mark Wahlberg, is Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson and judging by his past career in WWE—and the fact that every single one of his muscles is probably the size of our head—he's someone we would not want to cross. Especially since one of the set photos shows him cooking a hand on a grill. Better to stay on his safe, non-Hulk-like side, no? Just wrapped. In the pick up and headin home. Thank U crew - great work. Get rest and we'll do it all again tonight.. — Dwayne...

Here's a lil help -- and humor -- from your Hollywood friends! And hey, congrats from graduating HS, college, School of Hard Knocks or wherever you graduated from. And if you haven't graduated from anything, you should still read this story. + "American Pie" Photo: Universal Pictures This randy rager of a high school comedy very openly, and hilariously, discusses...

With "Prometheus" hitting theaters in three weeks, it's time for Ridley Scott to focus on returning to another one of his most famous properties: "Blade Runner." Warner Bros released a press release today saying that the new movie will officially be a sequel to the original, and that "Blade Runner" scribe Hampton Fancher will be back to help Scott develop the story. Fancher and Scott originally conceived "Blade Runner" as the first of a series of films that would explore the themes presented in Philip K. Dick's novel "Do Androids Dream of...

Welcome to Friendsies, where everyone's your friend, and everybody is welcome — even wolves! In this exclusive clip from "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World," the impending-apocalypse dramedy starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley, our two heroes find themselves in a shockingly jovial place considering that the world's about to end. Arriving at Friendsies, Carell and Knightley's characters can't help but grin at all the ridiculousness on display: public weed-smoking, endless congo lines, and waitresses who are "rolling really hard right now." "We thought about closing up shop,...

Photo Courtesy of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation On Sunday night (May 20), "The Simpsons" will conclude its 23rd (!) season with a hotly awaited episode that features Lady Gaga's visit to Springfield. The buzz around the show is huge, and everyone is talking about exactly what she'll be up to when she visits one of TV's most famous families … as well as her cartoon iteration's staggering 18 costume changes. Once our pals over at MTV Style caught wind of her character's many different looks, they couldn't help but reach out to the show...
