Joe Jonas Is Perfecting His Dance Moves For Fast Life

The JoBro says he's been working for over a year on a stage act to match his dance-heavy solo album.

Joe Jonas is gearing up for a very busy fall: He's heading out on the road with Jay Sean for a 19-city tour; his first solo album, Fast Life, hits stores October 11, and then he'll jet off with Britney Spears for the European leg of her Femme Fatale Tour. Though his single, "See No More," has been out for months, and he's been performing all over the place lately, there's still a chance this Jonas brother's new sound might surprise his longtime fans.

"The biggest difference is a little bit more urban and dance electronic stuff," Jonas told MTV News at the mtvU VMA Concert to Benefit Lifebeat - Music Fights HIV. "I've been influenced by a lot of different artists throughout my life and this is my opportunity to kind of show the world a little bit more about what I like writing and what I like coming up with musically."

If he's delivering that kind of sound, fans will probably expect him to show off his dance moves onstage, and Jonas says he's been working to perfect them for quite some time.

"It was a little bit difficult in the beginning to feel comfortable with it," Jonas said of learning his dance steps. " I've been rehearsing for a little over a year with Marty, who's a choreographer I work with, and he's made me feel a lot more comfortable onstage, a lot more comfortable in my own skin, which made the whole process 100 percent better."

Just last week, Jonas unveiled Fast Life's album cover, which he said is the perfect representation of the upcoming release.

"We had a couple of photo shoots trying to decide which direction we wanted to go in," Jonas said of the album cover. "And just kind of came together with having a really cool background and explaining Fast Life."

So what do those words mean for Jonas?

"I think my life has been so crazy busy for the past year and a half, and I kind of wanted to show people a little bit more of what my life is about, bring them into it a little bit more, so that's been a fun experience." Jonas said.

Kelly Clarkson Sasses Off On New Single 'Mr. Know It All'

Singer drops first track from October's Stronger album on her website.

Kelly Clarkson dropped her new single, "Mr. Know It All," on her website this week. It's the first track off her Stronger album, due in October.

The song is an obvious Clarkson joint: feisty and straightforward, with a strong melody and a sing-along chorus. The midtempo breakup tune is about a girl letting her guy know that despite thinking he's got it all figured out, he doesn't.

On the chorus, she blasts, "Oh, you think that you know me/ Know me/ That's why I'm leaving you lonely/ Lonely/ 'Cause baby you don't know a thing about me/ You don't know a thing about me."

She's equally sassy on the bridge when she sings, "So what, you've got the world at your feet/ And you know everything about everything/ But you don't/ You still think I'm comin' back, but baby you'll see."

The track was written by Brett James (who has a country pedigree, having written for Carrie Underwood), Ester Dean (Beyoncé, Usher) and Dante Jones. Brian Kennedy (Chris Brown, Rihanna, Backstreet Boys) also co-wrote and produced the track.

Stronger is Clarkson's fifth album release. It's the follow-up to 2009's All I Ever Wanted. "Usually, on most albums, I'll fight and be like, 'No, this needs to be the single.' There's no real fighting on this," she told EW.com about the album. "The label and I, we love all of them. We're just going to see what everybody digs."

She added of "Mr. Know It All" that she "can't wait to perform it. It's everything I am as a woman and a singer. I love telling men off!"

In early 2011, Clarkson teased her influences for the album on Facebook. "This album was influenced by Prince, Tina Turner, Sheryl Crow, Radiohead and there's a little bit of a country vibe/influence on a couple of songs," she said.

What do you think of Clarkson's new single, "Mr. Know It All"? Tell us in the comments.

Al Pacino Thanks Rappers For 'Scarface' Revival

'I think they've helped us tremendously,' actor tells MTV News of hip-hop community's support of 1983 movie.
By Rob Markman

LOS ANGELES -- Hard to believe, but when Brian De Palma's "Scarface" was released in 1983, it wasn't the beloved cult classic it is now. Critics panned the underworld drama in which actor Al Pacino played Tony Montana, a Cuban refugee who went from dishwasher to cocaine drug lord.

Today, the film lives in infamy with its ultra-violent-yet-indelible scenes and quotable one-liners like "Say hello to my little friend." Most of the appreciation and film's support has come from rappers, a fact not lost on Pacino.

"The hip-hop people and the rappers got together and they made a video and they talked about the movie. I don't think anybody's ever talked about it as articulately and clearly. I understood it better having heard them talk about it," Pacino told MTV News on the red carpet for a party celebrating the Blu-ray release for "Scarface" on Tuesday night. "I mean, they really get it and they understand it, and that's a great thing. They've been very supportive all these years. I think they've helped us tremendously."

The documentary Pacino referred to is 2003's "Scarface: Origins of a Hip-Hop Classic." In it, rappers like Diddy, Nas and Snoop Dogg analyze the movie's impact. The 71-year-old actor likens rap's affinity for his film with his appreciation for the 1932 original version of "Scarface."

"When I saw it for the first time -- and I don't mean mine, I mean Paul Muni's from [the] 1930s -- I had that feeling about it too," he said. "Anything when the hero is just reaching for something."

Ultimately, Pacino believes the appeal of his character lies in his desire to make something out of nothing -- a mantra rappers have been preaching since the 1980s.

"Man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for? That's a great expression, and I think that's Tony Montana," Pacino poetically explained. "Reaching for something he can't get but he keeps going. There is an element of hope in it, believe it or not."

Check out everything we've got on "Scarface."

Kim Kardashian's VMA Highlight: Beyonce's Big News

'It was really cool of her to come out and show that at the VMAs, 'cause music is her outlet,' newlywed says.

Kim Kardashian rushed back from her honeymoon this weekend and made it to the Nokia Theatre in time to present Best Male Video at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. But her favorite highlight of the evening was the same as many of us viewing from home: getting the Beyoncé pregnancy news!

The newlywed talked with MTV News' Jim Cantiello after the show and said that she loved seeing the pop star pat her pregnant belly onstage after running through a high-energy performance of her track "Love on Top."

At the beginning of her performance, Beyoncé emerged from the darkness, saying, "Tonight I want you to stand up on your feet. I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me!"

Beyoncé and Jay-Z celebrate their big news backstage.

Married to hip-hop superstar Jay-Z for three years, the star has said time and time again that she planned on having a baby by the time she was 30, and she turns 30 on Sunday. Her husband beamed at the end of her performance while pal and collaborator Kanye West congratulated him.

None of that excitement was lost on Kardashian.

"Beyoncé is definitely my highlight," Kardashian said. "I adore her anyway, but it was so sweet. I thought it was really cool of her to come out and show that at the VMAs, 'cause music is her outlet. She could have done it with any magazine or news station, but she chose her home. I thought it was really cool."

And speaking of having babies, that's exactly what Kardashian said she'd be doing right now if she weren't busy with her ever-rising career.

"I would be a mom right now, for sure," she said, in response to a question from fans. "I love kids, and I would probably have done this a lot sooner."

The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards have wrapped, but the real action is just getting started! Stick with MTV News for winners, fashion pics, video and behind-the-scenes stories about everything that went down. Visit VMA.MTV.com for the latest.

Matthew Fox Accused of Assaulting Female Bus Driver

Matthew Fox Accused of Assaulting Female Bus Driver

Matthew Fox is not doing so hot in Cleveland. The Lost and Party of Five actor found himself in handcuffs this weekend after allegedly assaulting a 29-year-old female bus driver in the Ohio city.

According to the police report, the victim says that Fox approached her around 1 a.m. on Sunday, seeking a ride back to his hotel. When he tried to board the private party bus that she was driving, the woman informed him that the bus was rented and she couldn't give him a ride. The actor tried to come on board anyway, so she got up from the driver's seat to block his way.

That's when Fox, 45, "punched her in the chest and stomach area," according to the victim's statement. She retaliated by punching him in the mouth, "causing a cut on his lip." She told police that she was worried her hand had been broken during the punch. Another man who witnessed the fight says that he intervened to help the bus driver.

Fox was detained but not arrested, and no charges have been pressed. TMZ reports that the fight took place outside of a bar, and the police report classifies the incident as "alcohol-related" -- though it doesn't say specifically if Fox had been drinking.

The actor is in Cleveland filming the movie adaptation of James Patterson's I, Alex Cross, in which he plays a serial killer.

Angelina Jolie Nixes "Secret Wedding" & Adoption Rumors

Angelina Jolie Nixes "Secret Wedding" & Adoption Rumors

Angelina Jolie is used to dealing with rumors about her personal life, but she's decided to clear up one or two especially nagging points. For starters, Jolie tells the October issue of Vanity Fair there will be "no secret wedding" with longtime partner Brad Pitt, despite the proliferation of rumors to the contrary. What's more, Jolie insists she isn't pregnant, nor is she currently looking to adopt another child into the adorable bug-eating Pitt-Jolie brood.

"I'm not pregnant. I'm not adopting at the moment," the 36-year-old actress says, matter-of-factly. Pitt and Jolie have six children at the moment, 9-year-old Cambodian native Maddox, 7-year-old Pax (from Vietnam), Ethiopian Zahara, 6, and biological children Shiloh, 5, and twins, Knox and Vivienne, 3. With two burgeoning careers (despite their joint promise to make fewer movies), Pitt and Jolie obviously have their hands full.

That's escpecially true now that Jolie has made the leap from actress to writer and director: Her first feature, In the Land of Blood and Honey, is due out in theatres in December. Of writing the script for the film, which is a love story set against the backdrop of the 1990s war in Bosnia, Jolie tells Vanity Fair: "I've never felt more exposed. My whole career, I’ve hidden behind other people’s words. Now it’s me talking. You feel ridiculous when you get something wrong.”

It was on a rare break from mothering that Jolie came to write the script." I had the flu. I had to be quarantined from the children for two days," she says. "I was in the attic of a house in France. I was isolated, pacing. I don’t watch TV and I wasn’t reading anything. So I started writing. I went from the beginning to the end. I didn't know any other way." She gave it to Pitt to read, and his response was, "You know, honey, it's not that bad."

And she credits Pitt with helping her throughout the process -- from rewriting various drafts of the script to directing her first feature. "He'd come in and say what he liked or what he didn't understand," she says. "Like any woman, I would listen to most of it and fight a few things. He's been so supportive."

Pitt, however, did have some concern about what directing a movie might do to Jolie's attitude as an actress. "Brad thinks I'm going to be a nightmare," Jolie jokes. "I had such a good experience he thinks I'm going to be impatient with directors, which I already am."

Kim Kardashian Music Video Leaked, INSANE Badonkadonk Displayed


Maybe whomever Kim Kardashian has working behind the scenes trying to buy the rights to her sex tape can negotiate some sort of two-for-one deal.

Another video of hers that she'd rather forget is making the rounds, and while there are no shots of Ray J ransacking that booty, it's still pretty sensual.

Earlier this year, Kim released a song in a hilarious bid to break into the music industry. She even shot a music video that was never released ... until now.

Watch 55 seconds of stunning visuals from the amazingness that is "Jam (Turn It Up)" below. The audio is quite forgettable, but that's always true of Kim:

'Hunger Games' Burning Questions Answered!

Director Gary Ross leads MTV News through some of hot topics surrounding the highly anticipated adaptation.
By Eric Ditzian

If you thought our "Hunger Games" exclusives would end with the sneak peek Jennifer Lawrence introduced during Sunday's VMAs, you are in for a pleasant surprise! MTV News teamed up with director Gary Ross in order to shed some insight into the teaser trailer and his vision for the highly anticipated film. And although Ross couldn't reveal too much about his plans for Katniss and the Capitol, we were able to get him to answer a few burning questions:

What's the Status of the Score?
"T-Bone [Burnett] and Danny [Elfman] haven't really started working yet. We've all begun working together. We've all begun discussing music, pulling references, going through the initial process you go through. Music can actually affect the movie more than anything else. It establishes the tone. It literally can change the way you feel or perceive a movie. That's a very long discussion that happens between me, T-Bone and Danny, and that's already begun. Danny was out last week. T-Bone's been out three times. We've begun this conversation of trying to understand what this is musically. But that's not going to bear fruit for a while."

How Did Jennifer Train for the Role of Katniss?
"It's an intensely physical movie. Someone said Jen is in 110 percent of the movie, which is really true. She works every day, all day. It's a very physically demanding thing that she's doing. She did train really, really rigorously. She worked with an athletic trainer, someone who conditions athletes in Los Angeles. She had intense archery training. So she's had a very rigorous athletic conditioning program."

Watch an exclusive 'Hunger Games' sneak peek.

How Did You Create the 'Girl on Fire' Look?
"That's a really good question. There are some things you don't want to give away, and you wouldn't want me to give it away. I think it's going to be a fantastic moment in the movie. I could do that verbally, but it would wreck it for people. I'm going to resist the temptation to give a spoiler on my own movie."

What Scenes Are the Most Important to Re-Create Faithfully?
"There are many iconic moments in the movie. There are many moments that the fans gravitate to and that are tremendously important to them. [Spoiler ahead!] Obviously the death of Rue is something that fans picks up, and how emotionally powerful that is, how important that is to the movie [to] not pull punches but that it also be handled that sensitively and emotionally and honor the emotion of it. That was just a beautiful scene. T-Bone wrote a beautiful lullaby for Prim's lullaby that is eventually sung to Rue that is absolutely gorgeous. And Jen practiced and rehearsed that with T-Bone and sang it in that scene. That was a tremendously emotional scene for everyone to shoot and one that was tremendously important. I shot one yesterday, the moment before she goes into the games, and she's in that launch chamber and the tense moment with Cinna before she has to leave. Obviously the Tribute parade when she becomes the Girl on Fire and the flames are trailing behind her. I think everybody thinks about the berry scene with her and Peeta at the end and the fact that they would rather give their lives than take one another's lives, which I think is one of the most poignant and really powerful things in the book and something every fan gravitates to. Those are some of the moments, but they're all tremendously important. Suzanne wrote a book full of dozens of those moments. That's one of the reasons it's so popular. My job is to do justice to all of it."

Another year, another unbelievably action-packed Video Music Awards. As expected, viewers were treated to mind-blowing performances and several jaw-dropping surprises. The most unexpected moment came courtesy of Beyoncé Knowles, who not so subtly announced to the world that she and husband Jay-Z are expecting their first child.

When B unbuttoned her sparkly jacket and rubbed her belly with a knowing smile, after which the camera panned to a visibly elated Jay-Z and Kanye West cheering from the audience, the Nokia Theatre was bursting with warm and fuzzy well-wishes for the soon-to-be parents. And that very public moment of celebration was just the beginning.

When Beyoncé returned backstage to her dressing room, she was greeted by a team of people who enveloped the visibly happy star with hugs, cheers and congratulations.

Click for photos of Beyoncé's big VMA night.

"I'm free!" she said to one of the well-wishers, indicating that she and Jay are thrilled to not have to keep such a big secret any longer. "We're all free!" she said to the group.

A few minutes after her arrival backstage, she was joined by her husband, a very excited West (whose first words upon entering the dressing-room area were "Where is Beyoncé?" as if he could not wait to give B a huge hug) and her former Destiny's Child ladies, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Even with the doors to their dressing rooms closed, the applause and whoops of joy could be heard everywhere backstage.

"That was an eventful night, to say the least," Jay, still smiling, said to some of the revelers in the hallway, who continued to shower him with congratulations and hugs.

'Fright Night': The Reviews Are In!

Colin Farrell flick 'blends Eighties cheese with Nineties snark — a combination that works better than it sounds,' critics say.
By Kara Warner

If you've seen the "Fright Night" trailers or are familiar with the '85 cult classic, you know this is not your run-of-the-mill vampire movie — at least by today's "Twilight" standards, anyway. There are no swoony undead to be found in this horror-comedy — just a lot of blood and plenty of laughs.

Here at MTV News, we've been amped about the film from the get-go, and even featured it as part of our exclusive Sneak Peek Week leading up to the Movie Awards. The film stars Colin Farrell as a bloodthirsty vampire who heads to suburbia and terrorizes his next-door neighbor Charley, played by "Star Trek" veteran Anton Yelchin. Christopher Mintz-Plasse plays vampire convert "Evil" Ed Thompson, "Harry Potter" alum and former "Doctor Who" David Tennant is vamp-hunting showman Peter Vincent and "Solitary Man" breakout Imogen Poots portrays love interest Amy, with Toni Collette and Dave Franco also popping up.

Now that the well-received reboot is finally in theaters, it's time to see what the critics think. Grab your garlic and hold onto some holy water as we sift through the "Fright Night" reviews.

The Original Story Vs. The Reboot "You'll need a taste for nostalgia to really appreciate 'Fright Night,' which knowingly blends Eighties cheese with Nineties snark — a combination that works better than it sounds. Authenticity is the key to the movie's success: the remake is actually based on a 1985 horror flick, and was written by Marti Noxon, well-known for her work on 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.' One thing's for sure: if you're expecting the self-serious brooding of 'Twilight,' you're gonna be disappointed. But if you have a soft spot for cult horror comedies like 'The Lost Boys,' 'The Monster Squad,' or even the first 'Fright Night,' this ought to be right up your (dark) alley. Noxon and director Craig Gillespie update the attitude for a post-'Buffy' generation, but their remake is generally faithful to the original." — Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

The Performances "Former 'Doctor Who' star David Tennant has a plum role as a Criss Angel-like Vegas cheeseball whose vampire-themed stage show might hide a special connection to vampire lore. It's a big, fun performance overshadowed only by Farrell, who plays his character as a monster who's learned to use an ordinary-dude exterior to blend in with his new surroundings. When he asks Yelchin for a 'sixer,' Farrell delivers his lines with a Matt Dillon-like flatness, but his eyes tell another story: Beneath the surface, he's all coiled hunger and pitiless manipulation, doing what he has to do to get close to victims who, against their better judgment, want to get close to him. He creates almost unbearable tension by doing virtually nothing at all, and though 'Fright Night' eventually reveals him as the vampire equivalent of the f---ing shark from 'Jaws,' it's never better than when it lets him poke his fin just above the surface." — Keith Phipps, the Onion A.V. Club

The Final Word "As in the earlier film, this one dances always at the edge of comedy. It especially has fun with the Rules of Vampire Behavior, which Jerry even teases Charley about. Without spoiling a single thing, I can tell you that one of the inevitable stakes through the heart in this movie is an inspired use of product placement. As vampire movies go, 'Fright Night' is a pretty good one." — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Solange Knowles Denied By Miami Club, Argues With Police Over Balloon


While her sister Beyonce was revealing her pregnancy, Solange Knowles made headlines for less positive reasons in Miami, Fla., on Sunday night.

According to reports, Solange and her crew were rejected from a club because they had a balloon, which they decided to cross the street to pop.

Yes, this happened ... and resulted in a run-in with the cops.

Solange Knowles Photo

There they encountered two off duty police officers, and a conversation ensued, which was "casual and light-hearted" at first. Then it went bad.

Apparently, the authorities were not enthralled about Solange being there, or about the balloon, which they brandished a weapon to destroy.

Police say Solange was "armed" with a "five-foot inflatable banana."

We're serious. According to Solange's rep, these events followed:

One officer pulled out a switchblade and threatened to pop the balloon. They felt it was inappropriate, but the turning point happened when he then took out the switchblade a second time with the blade open and said to them, 'I don't find the humor in this, anymore.' The blade was less than a couple feet away from Solange and her friends.

The officer proceeded to "forcefully" ask them to move, gesturing that they cross the street though there was oncoming traffic. Solange then asked the officer what was it that they did wrong, and he forcefully responded again to move. When a taxi pulled up, they got in and headed home.

Solange made a series of calls to report the incident and was told to be prepared to be arrested when she came in to report the incident if her story was false. Solange simply wanted to report that the officer pulled out a weapon, when she had done nothing illegal, disruptive or belligerent.

Solange is filing a report and has not yet decided on further legal action.

The Miami Beach police said in rebuttal that Solange became unruly, loudly complaining of being rejected from the club for racial reasons.

Solange inisists she never once raised her voice, although even if she did, cops whipping out a switchblade may not have been necessary.

Beyonce's sis has also gone on to state her sincerest disappointment with the Miami Beach Police and how they have handled this matter.

No word if the matter will be pursued any further.

Will Smith?s Son Had a Twitter Imposter!

Will_Smith0825.jpg
Someone was posing as Will Smith?s son Trey on Twitter! The account, @theofficialtrey, was being updated all week with tweets regarding Will and Jada Pinkett Smith?s relationship drama. The imposter insisted that everything was fine behind the scenes. But the account, which was never verified, has been suspended! The couple?s other children, Jaden and Willow, were also not followers of that account on Twitter. Sounds suspicious to us!

Chris Brown's Lunch Date with Bow-Wow

Kicking off his week with a delicious lunch, Chris Brown was spotted dining out in West Hollywood yesterday afternoon (August 29).

The ?Kiss Kiss? singer was joined by Bow Wow as well as a mystery girl with whom he seemed a little extra cozy.

On Sunday night, Chris brought the house down at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards with his high-flying performance of a well-blended medley of songs.?

Brown?s choreography team Tone and Rich told press, "We've been working with Chris for many years; I've never seen him this way on this performance ever. He's pulling out all his tricks on this one. He's definitely gonna show you something fresh and new; something he has never done before."

Beyonce Will Be an "Incredible Mother," Says Kelly Rowland

Beyonce Will Be an "Incredible Mother," Says Kelly Rowland

Beyoncé gave an incredible performance of "Love on Top" at last night's Video Music Awards -- but it's the five seconds afterward, when she dramatically revealed her baby bump, that's got everybody talking! Though she flaunted her belly on the red carpet before the show, her post-performance tummy rub was the real "wow!" moment: We got to see hubby Jay-Z grinning ear-to-ear while pal Kanye West jumped up and down in excitement. Another friend who's thrilled for Beyoncé and her man: her former Destiny's Child group-mate Kelly Rowland.

"I have known for quite a while, and she's happy, and Jay is happy, and that's all that counts," Rowland told People.

Rowland, 30, also expressed confidence in Beyoncé's abilities as a mother. "I think she'll be an incredible mother, because she's always been motherly," said the singer. "I think that she takes after so many traits from her mother. And I just think it's going to be so natural for her. It's natural for her now!"

Beyoncs mother Tina Knowles ran her own hair salon while Beyoncé was growing up, then became the costume designer for Destiny's Child -- and still works with her daughters today. As role models go, Beyoncé could do worse!

While the pregnancy announcement was a cleverly-staged surprise, Beyoncé, who turns 30 on Sept. 4, has been forthright about her plans to have a family one day.

The diva has said in the past that she wanted to have a baby at 30 -- although in a June interview with Piers Morgan, she added, "But I also said I was gonna retire at 30. And I'm not retiring!" As for those baby plans, at the time she said, "Only God knows." Well, now the rest of the world knows too!

Watch Beyoncé's performance and baby-bump reveal in the VMAs clip below.

T.I. To Be Released Wednesday, Sources Say

Tip will head to a halfway house one month before his 11-month parole-violation sentence is up.
By Alvin Blanco

T.I. is going to be a free man in just a couple of days. Sources have confirmed that the Atlanta rapper, currently serving an 11-month sentence in Forrest City Correctional Facility in Georgia for a parole violation after an L.A. drug arrest, will be released to a halfway house on August 31. Tip will be walking out of jail about a month early, with his original release date listed as September 29 in public records.

The Grand Hustle honcho, born Clifford Harris, Jr., should be ready to get back to the business of making music soon after his release.

T.I.'s Smash company partner, producer La Mar "Mars" Edwards, is eager to reunite with Tip in the studio. "He let me know, 'I got your back and stay close to me, you're my brother,' " said Mars, who just produced Game's The R.E.D. Album. "Ever since then, he's really treated me like a little brother. He'll call me to talk about life. It's more to it than me being his production partner and having Smash Factory."

And T.I.'s friend and collaborator DJ Drama also recently revealed that T.I. is working on a book. "8/31 -- #kingback. @Tip," Drama tweeted on Monday (August 29).

While serving his sentence, the King has been keeping fans updated via his TrapMuzik.com website. In his latest entry, the "Live Your Life" rapper revealed that it would be his final blog post since he expected to be released in September.

In that message, T.I. revealed that he planned to have his new music hearken back to material from his earlier days. "Next time you hear from me, I'll be back out there with you," he wrote. "Doing for those who can't do for themselves and speaking for those whose voices are never heard. When I touch down, I'm going all the way back to square one, like I'm fresh in the game and never sold a record. Back on some I'M SERIOUS, TRAP MUZIK sh--. ... But until then RESPECT to all who deserve it."

The well-wishes he received from family, friends and fans inspired T.I. to sponsor a Memorial Day bus trip that brought the families of 14 inmates up for a visit who otherwise would not be able to.

Although authorities in Los Angeles eventually dropped the drug charges against T.I., he was still found guilt of violating the parole terms stemming from his 2007 felony weapons charge.

'Dancing with the Stars' Cast Lineup Leaked?

'Dancing with the Stars' Cast Lineup Leaked?

On Monday night, ABC will announce which celebs will be cha-cha-cha-ing their way through season 13 of Dancing with the Stars. But since we know you don't want to wait that long, here's the latest from the DWTS rumor mill!

DWTSGossip tweeted last night that they have learned exclusively who this season's celebrity contestants will be, and their lineup definitely meshes with what E! Online is hearing.

The show's producers seem to be aiming for controversy this time around (inspired by Bristol Palin's success, no doubt!), with both DWTS Gossip and E! reporting that David Arquette, estranged husband of Courteney Cox, is on board (he's even been spotted by TMZ at the show's rehearsal studio). Chaz Bono is another purported cast member, which could be why he's been hitting the gym lately.

Other stars that will supposedly be donning sequins and shaking their moneymakers this season include Keeping Up with the Kardashians' Rob Kardashian, former Hills star Kristin Cavallari, George Clooney's ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis, former talk-show host Ricki Lake, All My Children star J.R. Martinez, actor Ryan O'Neal, U.S. women's soccer goalie Hope Solo, singer-actress Chynna Phillips, CNN Headline News commentator (and avowed Casey Anthony hater) Nancy Grace, and Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Ron Artest.

We'll have to wait until tonight to see if all the names above make the cut. But E!'s sources had reported that there was one celebrity in the wings "far more controversial" than the others. Who could it be? Maybe they've finally signed long-rumored contestant Nadya "Octomom" Suleman? Or maybe Bristol Palin has inspired them to cast another Tea Party favorite -- perhaps Christine O'Donnell, who had turned them down in the past, or even Michele Bachmann (though we imagine that whole presidential campaign has her kind of busy). Then of course, there's the guy everyone is secretly hoping for: Charlie Sheen, a big star in desperate need of a DWTS-style image overhaul!

In actuality, we're betting said controversial star is indeed Nancy Grace, who inspired quite the backlash with her coverage of the Casey Anthony trial.

Sadly, two of the most exciting rumored stars have declared that they won't be appearing: Jersey Shore's Snooki and Queen Latifah. But we'll keep holding out for a chance to see Snooki shimmying in head-to-toe sequins. There's always next season, right?

The new cast of DWTS will be announced on Monday night during The Bachelor Pad. Season 13 premieres Sept. 19 on ABC.

Dakota Fanning's Week-Beginning Workout

Jump-starting her week with a trip to the gym, Dakota Fanning was spotted post-workout in Los Angeles, CA on Monday (August 29).

Upon exiting the facility, the ?Twilight? star dodged the paparazzi as she made her way to the car - all the while texting away on her phone.

As previously reported by GossipCenter, Miss Fanning is all set to begin college classes this fall at New York University as she furthers her education.

The plans became known after her name was found to be included in this year?s email directory, though there's no word just yet if she?ll opt for dorm-life or live off-campus and commute.

Kelly Rowland Talks Beyonce's Pregnancy

Stepping out in style as she arrived for an evening of top-notch musical entertainment, Kelly Rowland was spotted at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards and House of Hype's after party in Los Angeles, California last night (August 28).

Hitting the all-new black carpet, the "Motivation" songstress strutted her stuff in a super-sexy low-cut black and gold number - as the dress was a showstopper while offering both sheer and feathered accents set off by platform peep-toe pumps.

Celebrating the latest rendition of the annual affair, Kelly continued her night at SLS Hotel while joining a slew of other celebs in a strapless blue-frock.

Meanwhile, Miss Rowland has opened up about her good gal pal Beyonce's just announced pregnancy - offering nothing but kind words for her former fellow Destiny's Child group member.

"She takes so many traits from her mother, and I just think it's going to be so natural for her. It's natural for her now!," she told Us weekly, adding, "I think she'll be an incredible mother, because she's always been motherly."

VMAs Backstage: Five Things You Didn't See

Find out what happened backstage at the 2011 MTV VMAs.
By Kara Warner, with additional reporting by Matt Elias and Jim Cantiello

For all the unforgettable moments that occurred onstage during the VMAs on Sunday night, there were just as many equally amazing happenings that went down behind-the-scenes. Thanks to our VIP connections, MTV News had access to everything that happened before, after and during the live broadcast. Therefore, in no particular order, we are proud to present five moments you didn't get to see:

Gaga's Gentlemanly Behavior Leaves Celebs Starstruck
As is her M.O., Lady Gaga's presence at the VMAs was a highlight in and of itself, and every celeb who encountered her had a wide-eyed story to tell of his/her encounter. Particularly Foo Fighter Dave Grohl's first introduction to Gaga as her alter ego Jo Calderone.

"I got to meet her for the first time tonight [as Jo Calderone]," Grohl said of meeting Gaga when he went to say hello to Queen guitarist Brian May, who performed with her during the show. "I was like, 'Brian May, what's up!' and she was right next to him and I said, 'Hi, I'm Dave,' and she goes 'I know who the f--- you are!' Yeah, it was rad."

We spotted Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and more hanging out backstage!

Another Gaga-centric highlight occurred during one of the commercial breaks, when Gaga as the confident ladies' man Jo Calderone (or Gago, as Twitter users tagged him last night) took a cigarette from behind his ear, lit it and smoothly passed it to Adele.

'Jersey Shore' Stars Make Friends Everywhere They Go
As part of the MTV family, the stars of "Jersey Shore" have become welcome additions to any and all of our awards shows. We witnessed the ladies of Seaside Heights — JWoww, Snooki and Deena — palling around with new BFF, none other than "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens. Later on we spotted them crossing paths with Jared Leto, which produced the following exchange: JWoww to Jared Leto: "Wow. I'm a huge fan! 'The Kill' is my favorite!" Leto: "Thank you so much!" Snooki, once they had passed the 30 Seconds to Mars frontman: "Aah?" To which Jenni replied, "That was Jared Leto. Don't you know who Jared Leto is?!"

Tyler, The Creator's Accidental Stage Dive Sends Him Into Unlikely Arms
Immediately following their win for Best New Artist, the many members of Odd Future and their assorted entourage were trying to shuffle off the circular stage, when suddenly there was a loud noise and everyone in the audience in the right section gasped. It was clear from the commotion that a member from Future had fallen off the stage. When the dust finally settled, we saw two unexpected heroes holding frontman Tyler, the Creator up: Kanye West and Kid Cudi.

"It was really hard, but [the tears] came out when I fell offstage into Kanye's arms," Tyler half-joked as he processed the emotions surrounding his win and his almost fall.

Jay Z And Beyoncé Celebrate Baby News
Arguably the newsiest moment of the evening occurred when Beyoncé announced that she was pregnant, with a not-so-subtle rubbing of her belly at the end of her performance. Immediately following the big moment, Beyoncé and Jay-Z were enveloped backstage by ecstatic well-wishers including Kanye West, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. One of the sweeter of those moments was when Jay stepped outside Beyoncé's dressing room, to allow her some time with her female friends to gush and squeal over the news. The proud and sweet smile on his face when he did so made for our favorite VMA warm fuzzy moment.

BONUS: VMA Recap With MTV News' Jim Cantiello MTV News correspondent Jim Cantiello does many things well, but his 60-second recaps of important events in pop culture are a must-watch. Check out Cantiello's super-speedy recap that includes analysis of Gaga as Calderone, what gets a hard-to-impress Justin Bieber to applaud VMA performers and Beyoncé's big announcement.

The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards have wrapped, but the real action is just getting started! Stick with MTV News for winners, fashion pics, video and behind-the-scenes stories about everything that went down. Visit VMA.MTV.com for the latest.

Whitney Port Hits the "What to Expect..." Set

Sparking rumors of a possible cameo, Whitney Port was spotted on the Atlanta, Georgia set of "What to Expect When You're Expecting" earlier today (August 29).

Having tweeted "Greetings from Atlanta" just last week, the former 26-year-old fashionista took to the southern locale in a light brown fedora, midriff-baring striped top and high-waisted, vintage-washed jean shorts.

As for other possible movie news for Whitney, she says teaming up with her "The Hills" gal pals for a big-screen version of the hit MTV reality show is definitely a possibility.

While chatting with People magazine, Miss Port was asked if she would sign onto the much-talked about project, to which she answered, "Yeah, I think so. Why not? Sure! I think it would be cool. It would be cool!"

There were many, many standout moments that VMA viewers witnessed from the comfort of their living rooms (Beyonc#233;'s belly! Gaga/Jo macking on Britney!). But for every big moment on air, there was plenty of other crazy stuff that went down backstage, where there were no cameras rolling. But your trusty MTV News correspondents had access all over the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, and here's what we gathered from behind the scenes of the main show.

» Jo Calderone on the move! We witnessed Gaga in character, dressed in a navy suit, black hair slicked back, cigarette behind her ear, serious look on her face as she headed up to the stage!

» After Gaga's performance, her dancers left the stage, and seemed super psyched about everything. As they were leaving, the Pitbull dancers were walking on. Everyone high-fived.

» Jonah Hill and the "Jersey Shore" kids shared their mutual love for one another. "I watch your show," Hill told the cast.

» JWoww to Jared Leto: "Wow. I'm a huge fan! 'The Kill' is my favorite!" Leto: "Thank you so much!" Snooki, once they had passed the 30 Seconds to Mars frontman: "Aah?" To which Jenni replied, "That was Jared Leto. Don't you know who Jared Leto is?!"

» We spotted Tony Bennett chilling in his room with a cart with two bottles of wine sitting outside. And in other catering news: We saw Britney Spears get a delivery of cookies, and guitarist Brian May got wine.

» Brian May's and Lady Gaga's dressing rooms were next to one another. Next to that? Katy Perry. Not a meat cooler in sight!

» Speaking of dressing rooms, Britney was seen all smiles as she walked back and forth between dressing rooms with just one guy and a stylist.

» Kanye West strolled through, wearing lots of denim, and singing "Super Bass."

» Adele was walking briskly from one place to another when one of her handlers whispered the Beyoncé news to her. "I knew she would be!" Adele exclaimed.

» Gaga lit a cigarette for Adele. Naughty ladies!

» Beyoncé's mom got lots of congrats from people on her way out following B's big announcement at the show.
