"TRON: Uprising" Drops New Trailer: Watch Now!

Disney’s television animation crew has put its best foot forward with the creation of its new series, “TRON: Uprising.”

Boasting elaborate and strong graphics, the next installment in the favored “TRON” series will be featured on Disney XD while starring the voices of Mandy Moore, Elijah Wood and Emmanuelle Chriqui.

The animated powerhouse revealed a second trailer today (April 30) for its new show, which officially debuts on June 7 on Disney XD, but it will premiere a special half-hour episode titled “TRON: Uprising, Beck’s Beginning" that will air on the flagship Disney Channel on May 18.

“TRON” fans will experience a plot that takes place between the 1982 film, which featured a computer hacker played by Jeff Bridges, and the recent 2010 film that focused on his son, played by Garrett Hedlund.

The new series stars Beck, who is a young program leading his family and world against a tyrannical revolution.

Enjoy the new trailer for “Tron: Uprising” below!

Adele

Adele posed for an elegantly put together Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott shot spread while talking about everything from ridding of the booze to her highly publicized vocal cord surgery. Highlights from Adele's interview are as follows.
On her 'loud' personality: “I am quite loud and bolshie,” she says (British slang for unruly and clamorous). “I’m a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.” Indeed. There is no doubt when Adele is in the building. The rule of thumb for protecting one’s vocal cords, she tells me, is: If people are more than an arm’s length away, you shouldn’t talk to them. “But I am like, Wah! Wah! Wah!,” she says, laughing. “It’s really bad.”
On giving up drinking last May: “Don’t like drinking anymore. I think I got it out of my system. D’yaknowhaImean?”
On her vocal troubles: “I’ve been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I’ve had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.” She flew to London the next morning to see her doctor and was diagnosed with acute laryngitis. After a couple weeks’ rest, she continued her European tour, came to America, and then her voice went again in May. “That was a hemorrhage... a burst blood vessel on my vocal cord. That healed, I did a tour, and then it happened again at my best friend’s wedding on October 1.”
On getting support through her surgery from other artists: “John Mayer had it done at the same time as I did and he really helped me be chilled out about it. Roger Daltrey’s had loads of stuff done; Steven Tyler reached out; Elton John. Lots of artists have had problems with their voices, but you don’t know about it. And they are still singing incredibly well in their 50s and 60s.”
On her six Grammy nominations: “I burst into tears when I found out. And I would love, absolutely love, to win. This record is coming to an end, and that would be the final brick on it.” [gallery=821]

Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball Kicks Off Amid Protests

Seoul, South Korea, set list heavy on new material, but Gaga's biggest hits come out to play.
By John Mitchell

Lady Gaga kicked off her hotly awaited Born This Way Ball at Seoul, South Korea's Olympic Stadium on Friday (April 27) in front of 45,000 fans, and despite protests from Christian groups saying Mother Monster was "obscene" and could "taint" young people with her performance, the concert appears to have gone on without incident.

Intrepid Twitter fans are already showing off pictures and video of the BTW Ball's enormous Gothic castle backdrop and myriad costume changes, making it clear that Gaga has outdone even her own Monster Ball in terms of spectacle.

While we wait for reviews to trickle in from halfway around the world, one thing is certain: No minors were corrupted at the show. Earlier this month, the Korea Media Rating Board decided to elevate the age rating for the concert from 12 to 18, prohibiting minors from seeing the concert. When the board notified Gaga's tour promotion company and a sponsor of the change in age restrictions, it did not offer a reason why the show — which at the time was still in rehearsals and had not been reviewed publicly — was considered unsuitable for children under 18.

The likely catalyst for the board's decision came more into focus as the concert neared and protests from a group of conservative Christians calling itself the Alliance for Sound Culture in Sexuality ramped up. The group covered Seoul with posters accusing Gaga of "spreading unhealthy sexual culture" through "lewd lyrics and performances."

The superstar and her fans, however, were undeterred. Though she tweeted her hopes that the Korea Media Rating Board would reverse its decision (it didn't), she continued on as planned. Many fans reportedly arrived at the show wearing versions of Gaga's most well-known flamboyant costumes, and there have been no reports of disturbances at the concert.

Before the show, Gaga tweeted, "I can you hear you Korea. I'm shaking."

Gaga's performance was heavy on material from her Born this Way album, though her biggest hits, including "Bad Romance," Poker Face" and "Just Dance," were represented.

Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball set list:

» "Highway Unicorn"
» "Government Hooker"
» "Born This Way"
» "Bloody Mary"
» "Bad Romance"
» "Fashion of His Love"
» "The Queen"
» "Just Dance"
» "Love Game"
» "Telephone"
» "Just Dance"
» "Heavy Metal Lover"
» "Bad Kids"
» "Hair"
» "Yoü and I"
» "Electric Chapel"
» "Americano"
» "Poker Face"
» "Scheiße"
» "The Edge of Glory"
» "Marry the Night"

Usher Says 'Scream' Is 'Just In Time For Summer'

Following 'Climax,' singer tells MTV News his latest single 'represents the other side' of Looking for Myself album.
By Jocelyn Vena

Bumping beats, sexy lyrics and Usher's signature R&B bad-boy swagger can only mean one thing: the singer has once again hooked up with superstar pop producer Max Martin. Their latest collaboration, "Scream," picks up where "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" left off back in 2010.

Usher used that track to convince us to go home with him after a dizzying night of partying, and for "Scream," he's got us back at his pad and he's rocking our world, one fist-pumping moment at a time. While he opted to slow it down on "Climax," Usher is back to large-scale dance tracks on Looking for Myself's second single. And, he told MTV News, both tracks reflect the sound of the album.

"This album has many different views and many different perspectives," he told MTV News while rehearsing for his one-night run as the lead in NYC's off-Broadway spectacle "Fuerza Bruta," which also served as a place for Usher to debut the album ahead of its release. "And me and Max Martin, we've had success together in the past, and this was a record I felt represented the other side of the [album]."

"Scream" and "Climax" truly are polar-opposite tracks. Where "Climax" sears and broods, "Scream" celebrates and dances. Usher is excited for the chance to show all those sides with the two lead singles from the June 12 release.

"Whereas the first song was a little bit more artistic and a little bit more soulful, and it has done everything, it probably exceeded my expectations, I mean, from the moment I was able to give it away. I was able to kind of be reintroduced in a way musically, and thank you to [producer] Diplo, but 'Scream' is really like the next step. It's just in time for summer and the type of experience that I want people to get out of the album."

But the Atlanta-bred singer notes that the album can't be defined just by "Climax" or "Scream." There's a lot there to keep fans tuning in. "It's a ton of other experiences and a ton of other walks ... as I've had this long journey over the last year [and] every bit of what I've experienced I've put into a creative, artistic way," he said.

As for the video, well, that still has to be shot, but he joked that "Fuerza Bruta" might serve as the perfect backdrop for the clip — or maybe not. "We might be shooting it while we're here," he laughed. "This is like a movie set, damn near — sh-- you don't normally see with the launch of an album. This is pretty spectacular."

What are you expecting from Usher's next album? Let us know in the comments!

Kristen Stewart Arrives in Vancouver for "Breaking Dawn" Re-Shoots

Joining co-star beau Robert Pattinson as they ready to close out their "Twilight Saga" obligations, Kristen Stewart was spotted touching down at Vancouver International Airport on Sunday afternoon (April 29).

The Bella Swan babe tried her best to hide behind her burly bodyguards while exiting the terminal - as she's in town to do a few re-shoots for the franchise closer, "Breaking Dawn - Part 2".

The north of the border trip comes as Miss Stewart was just unveiled as the June cover girl of ELLE UK magazine.

In her interview with the publication, the 22-year-old spoke about a number of topics including when she finds herself to be in the happiest state - to which she chose cruising in her ride.

Of this, K-Stew dished, "In my car with the right friend – I like to drive and I love being in LA, it always feels like, 'Ahhhhh.' So I would say if the right song came on, windows down, that's a great feeling. To just be excited to be moving, to be like, 'Here we are.'"

Iron Man Recast? Robert Downey, Jr 'Would Really Hate' That

The actor tells MTV News he expects to play the superhero 'for a long while.'
By Kevin P. Sullivan

With the Avengers finally assembling next week, Marvel Studios and the stars behind the heroes have already begun to look ahead to the next films set in the comic-book universe. At the closing night celebration of the Tribeca Film Festival on Saturday night (April 28), Robert Downey, Jr. spoke with MTV News about the future of his character, Iron Man, and addressed recent talk about other actors playing the role in the future.

At CinemaCon last week, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige mentioned to Badass Digest that when it came time for Downey to leave the role of Tony Stark behind, a new actor could pick up right where he left off, like in the James Bond films.

But Downey told MTV News on the red carpet that he wasn't so thrilled about the idea of someone else playing Tony Stark. "I would really hate for someone else to think they could step into my shoes," he said. An infamous jokester, he couldn't help but ask, "I wonder who's playing Tony Stark next. Is it you? Is that what you're here to tell me?"

But Downey can't be Iron Man forever, and while the 42-year-old actor couldn't say for sure how many movies he has left in him, he made clear he'll be interested as long as they remain good films.

"I know things are looking like that they could go on for a long while," Downey said. "As usual in my book, it's all about quality control and delivering a product that you can have this kind of reaction to. If they keep doing that, maybe I'll keep showing up."

In Downey's immediate Marvel future, there's next year's "Iron Man 3." The past few weeks have seen actors like Sir Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce and Jessica Chastain potentially joining the cast, and Downey said that he could not wait to work with "any or all of them."

"It's funny. Sometimes you have to call for a good old-fashioned British invasion," Downey said. "'Iron Man 3' is really shaping up to be something special. We start in a couple weeks. I'm sure I'll be leaking secrets to you as we move ahead."

What secrets, you ask? Well, it was recently announced that "Iron Man 3" would be co-produced in China. As for whether any filming would take place in the East, Downey was less forthcoming. "I'd like to tell you all my secrets," he said," but I forget them."

Check out everything we've got on "The Avengers."

Usher To Preview Looking For Myself At Off-Broadway Show

Singer tells MTV News 'Fuerza Bruta' matches the 'more artistic' music on his upcoming album.
By Jocelyn Vena

This Saturday (and this Saturday only), Usher will appear in New York City's "Fuerza Bruta," an off-Broadway show where no one speaks, but the story is told through bright lights, music and dancing. In the lead role of Running Man, Usher will also use the show to preview his June album release, Looking for Myself.

Fans in the audience will likely get closer than they've ever been to the singer, as the audience stands during the performance, becoming another member of the company. With several weeks until his album release, Usher explained to MTV News at a rehearsal why he wanted to use this show to preview tracks.

"I felt like the natural elements as well as the emotion of 'Fuerza Bruta' would definitely speak or be significant to some of the stories and I guess hopefully a connection [was there]," he explained of tying this performance to his album. "When we began to explore different directions [for the performance like] maybe we use some of their music, maybe we use some of mine ... and before you knew it the idea came together. We tried it, I got on Running Man and it worked."

The show will stream his entire album, which drops June 12, and he thinks the mind-bending artistry of "Fuerza Bruta" works with the sound he's created on it. "This is more artistic of an album than I've had in history," he said. "And I felt like yeah, it would be a lot for me, but I was willing to at least try it. There were many times I had seen the show and I only hoped that I would be able to make it happen."

What Is Mac Miller's 'Pink Slime' Project?

Pittsburgh MC remains tight-lipped on his upcoming collabo project on 'RapFix Live.'
By Rob Markman, reporting by Sway Calloway

Mac Miller isn't ready to start working on his sophomore album just yet, but he does have a few projects in the works. And though the Pittsburgh MC wouldn't give much detail when he appeared on Wednesday's episode of "RapFix Live", he did drop a clue about one of these projects.

"Everyone needs to pay attention for when the words 'pink slime' surface, just don't even worry about it right now," Mac teased while sitting on the "RFL" couch.

He wouldn't reveal whom he is working with on the "pink slime" project, but Miller did confirm that it is a collaborative effort. "I'ma just say, just keep watch — he's gonna be pissed that I'm saying this, but you're not gonna know who it is," he said.

Well, if "he's gonna be pissed," then that rules out a tag-team tape with Nicki Minaj right? Maybe it's her Young Money boss Lil Wayne; after all he did appear on Miller's on Macadelic mixtape. Then again, so did Cam'ron, Juicy J and Kendrick Lamar.

There is no release date for "pink slime," but it will come before Mac's Blue Slide Park follow-up. "As far as the album, to be honest, I haven't even thought about it yet," he said. "I need some time, man; I need to put together something. I'm releasing music, I have songs on songs on songs; I record every day."

Whom do you think Mac Miller is working with on his "pink slime" project? Tell us in the comments.

Shailene Woodley Covers ASOS June 2012

She's fresh off of a career-igniting past twelve months, and Shailene Woodley has been selected to cover of the June 2012 issue of ASOS magazine.

The 20-year-old actress looked elegant in an ASOS Denim Shirt with Rare Crochet Lace Knickers and ASOS Mixed Frame Cat-Eye Sunglasses for the Jason Nocito shot front page while opening up about topics such as her penchant for dark roles and the criticism she received over her Oscars dress.

Highlights from Miss Woodley's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to ASOS!

On not paying attention to fame and fortune:
"I don't pay any attention to all of that stuff. I never have. I know nothing about the industry, nothing about the 'business' and I intend to always be that way. There are more options coming in for me [since The Descendants], but that really doesn't affect me, because I will never do a movie I'm not passionate about. I'd rather be in a two-minute scene in a phenomenal Meryl Streep movie than the lead of an action-hero film."

On her penchant for dark roles:
"Movies are where my heart is at. I love dark roles – roles that appear scary. Not in a horror film way, but like 'Black Swan' or 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'. Films that take the audience on an emotional journey. And I would love to play Patti Smith in a film one day – I'm re-reading her autobiography, I'm obsessed with it."

On criticism of her Valentino Coutore Oscars dress:
"A lot of people didn't like it. They were like, 'she's 20, she's covering herself up, why is she doing that?' But to me it felt classy and elegant and that's what I think of when I think of the Oscars. It felt simple and elegant and it still represented who I am. Most of my clothes come through friends – this cardigan is two years old and these jeans are my friend's boyfriend's."

On what the future holds:
"I'm excited to become a bada** archer. I want to be able to shoot a small pen dot on the wall, 20 feet away. I want to be like [The Hunger Games'] Katniss."

'Dark Shadows' Sneak Peek Reveals Johnny Depp's De-Fanging Plan

With just two weeks left until the big release of "Dark Shadows," Warner Bros. is stoking the coals of excitement with a new featurette that brings not only behind-the-scenes interviews and footage, but offers up an important new plot detail from the film.

"The legend of the vampire has been told for centuries, capturing the dark shadows of our imagination and inspiring filmmakers and actors to breathe new life into the undead," a voice-over reminds us at the top of the clip. "But there's never been a vampire like Barnabas Collins."

Depp said the idea to do the film came naturally to him and Burton, who have worked together on eight films. "I'd always been sort of attracted to horror films and things like that, even as a very young kid," Depp explains. "I said, 'Tim, we should do a vampire movie together.' "

And when Johnny Depp and Tim Burton decide to do something, it has a way of getting done.

A large part of the featurette focuses on the history of vampires in movies and reminds us that one of cinema's great vampires, Christopher Lee, is featured in "Shadows."

"One of my favorite moments I've ever been able to experience in a film was I got to hypnotize Dracula; I got to hypnotize Christopher Lee," Depp says. "He was, you know, the great Dracula."

To get into character as Barnabas Collins, Depp didn't stray far from the source material. "For Barnabas, everywhere I searched character-wise, I kept coming back to Jonathan Frid," the actor explains. "He really did something beautiful with that character on the 'Dark Shadows' series back in the '60s and early '70s."

Frid, who cameos in the film and is shown arriving at a party at Collinwood in the featurette, died earlier this month in his native Canada. The clip closes with an "In Memoriam" dedication to the classically trained actor, who maintained a close relationship with the show's fans by appearing at "Shadows" conventions and readings as recently as 2011, before his health began to decline.

The clip features some great new scenes from the film, including a fun bit where Depp's Barnabas seeks advice from Chloe Moretz's Carolyn Stoddard on "the art of courting a woman of this time," but importantly introduces a major plot twist that we wondered (all the way back in October!) whether Burton would include in his film: Barnabas' attempt to de-fang himself with the help of Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter) and become mortal again to pursue a romantic relationship with Bella Heathcote's Victoria Winters.

"If a man can become a monster, then a monster can become a man," Barnabas says in a voice-over while Dr. Hoffman surveys large blood-filled beakers and Depp sits with IV lines running from him. It's a story line carried over directly from both the original soap and its short-lived '90s remake. (Indeed, this particular story line was the focus of NBC's revival starring Ben Cross and Joanna Going.)

"By tapping into vampires, witches, ghosts, the reason they're powerful is because we all kind of experience those feelings on some level," Burton says of the film. "It's something that remains in our popular culture because it's strangely part of our everyday lives."

Just two weeks to go, "Dark Shadows" fans! Are you excited for the flick? Let us know in the comments!

The true lovebirds LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian kept the spirit of their one year anniversary alive by renewing their vows on Friday (April 27).

The country cutie tweeted, “Renewed our vows today....it's incredible to thank each other for the past year as husband and wife, Here's to another great year!"

On April 22 of last year, the happy couple walked down the aisle and have shared a great romantic relationship ever since. The two celebrated their anniversary on the beach in California and turned it into an extended vacation.

The 29-year-old singer added, "Eddie and I went climbing on the rocks in the ocean yesterday to see the thousands of crabs,” on Saturday afternoon (April 28).

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon also renewed their vows in Paris, France on Friday night (April 27) after four years of marriage.

Usher To Preview Looking For Myself At Off-Broadway Show

Singer tells MTV News 'Fuerza Bruta' matches the 'more artistic' music on his upcoming album.

This Saturday (and this Saturday only), Usher will appear in New York City's "Fuerza Bruta," an off-Broadway show where no one speaks, but the story is told through bright lights, music and dancing. In the lead role of Running Man, Usher will also use the show to preview his June album release, Looking for Myself.

Fans in the audience will likely get closer than they've ever been to the singer, as the audience stands during the performance, becoming another member of the company. With several weeks until his album release, Usher explained to MTV News at a rehearsal why he wanted to use this show to preview tracks.

"I felt like the natural elements as well as the emotion of 'Fuerza Bruta' would definitely speak or be significant to some of the stories and I guess hopefully a connection [was there]," he explained of tying this performance to his album. "When we began to explore different directions [for the performance like] maybe we use some of their music, maybe we use some of mine ... and before you knew it the idea came together. We tried it, I got on Running Man and it worked."

The show will stream his entire album, which drops June 12, and he thinks the mind-bending artistry of "Fuerza Bruta" works with the sound he's created on it. "This is more artistic of an album than I've had in history," he said. "And I felt like yeah, it would be a lot for me, but I was willing to at least try it. There were many times I had seen the show and I only hoped that I would be able to make it happen."

Patrick Dempsey Pulls Teen to Safety After Car Wreck

Using his on-screen instincts during a real life trauma, "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey came to the aid of a teen car cash victim this week.

According to reports, a young driver lost control of his Mustang, causing a nasty wreck that landed the vehicle in McDreamy's front yard.

After hearing the accident just a sort distance away, Patrick rushed to the scene with a crowbar in hand while then able to pry the boy from the car.

Luckily, after being checked out by medics, it was concluded that the accident victim only suffered a concussion. Kudos to Dempsey, he can be our doctor any day!

Gina Carano Ready To Get Her 'Feet Wet' In 'Fast & Furious 6'

'I'm going to go from the 'Haywire' crew to the 'Fast 6' crew, so I'm going to get a very broad range of knowledge,' she tells MTV News.

Action fans rejoiced earlier this week when The Hollywood Reporter announced that MMA fighter-turned-actor Gina Carano was in talks to join the sixth "Fast & Furious" movie. It seemed like an inspired choice for the series that saw new life after "Fast Five" impressed last year.

MTV News caught up with the breakout star while she was promoting the Blu-ray release of "Haywire," and she spoke excitedly about the prospects of joining the action series.

"We got a call about two weeks ago to do 'The Fast and the Furious 6,' " Carano said. "We're in negotiations for that, so if that goes through, that will be a really cool opportunity for me to get my feet wet on another big-budget film and be around all these different types of actors."

Carano seemed pleased at the idea of appealing to different bases of fans within the action genre, moving from the art-house appeal of "Haywire" to the mainstream explosions of "Fast & Furious."

"I'm going to go from the 'Haywire' crew to the 'Fast 6' crew, so I'm going to get a very broad range of knowledge as far as people go," she said. "It's like two different high school groups. You've got the very artistic, and then you've got the action group of athletes, like hard-core. Very different personalities there."

Carano is in negotiations to play a member of Dwayne Johnson's team in the upcoming sequel directed by "Fast Five" helmer Justin Lin. As for whether Carano has begun sizing up her soon-to-be castmates, she said that's not something she has to think about. "No, I'm pretty secure. I don't need to size anybody up. I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about giving a good performance and understanding my character. That's what I'll focus on."

The actress wouldn't say for sure how close she was to signing on, but remained optimistic about her prospects. "It will be really good for me, and I'm completely open to it," Carano said. "If negotiations go good, we'll probably start filming that."

Check out everything we've got on "Fast & Furious 6."

Snooki Wants Baby Before Wedding

'I'm not even ready for it yet,' the 'Jersey Shore' star tells MTV News of her wedding plans.
By Jocelyn Vena

Snooki may be planning for her baby, but she certainly isn't planning her wedding just yet. The pint-sized reality starlet wants to welcome her first-born into the world before she officially becomes Mrs. Jionni LaValle.

"I mean, I do have a dream wedding," she confessed to MTV News on Thursday in New York City, with her "Jersey Shore" besties JWoww and Pauly D by her side. "But I definitely don't even want to talk about it or think about it because I'm not even ready for it yet. I just want my baby first."

JWoww confirmed that the ever-expanding Snooki hasn't put much planning into her wedding. "She's in pregnancy mode," Jenni added.

In footage from "Snooki & JWoww" shown to the Media on Thursday, Snooki drops the bombshell on her friend that she is both pregnant and engaged. While it seems JWoww is momentarily shaken, one ultrasound later, everyone seems on board for the baby. Though, there are still plenty of antics to be had, and they include the ladies apartment hunting, torturing their respective beaus and, yes, even hitting up a club or two for a night of dancing.

"I was very excited [when we found out about the baby]. I don't know if I was more excited for what's to come or the fact that we finally moved in together," JWoww said of learning that there'd be another roommate in the house, growing inside her little friend. "But it's not a dull moment. All of us, all eight of us [are going to help out]. It's gonna have a lot of aunts and uncles."

Snooki said the pregnancy may not have been in the reality-show plan, but they made it work. "When we film, it's all about reality and what's going on in our life," she said. "So it's not like we're going in there and staging things. It's what's really going on in our life. It just so happens that I got pregnant while [we were filming]."

But that's probably not enough for you, since you simply cannot wait until the clip's premiere on Monday night. Luckily, we have a sneak peek at the exclusive scene, and it looks like things are going to get a little explosive.

Wiz Khalifa Has 'No Ill Will' Toward Waka Flocka Flame

'I don't have problems with people, because if I do, I address it,' Wiz tells 'RapFix Live.'
By Rob Markman

Wiz Khalifa isn't interested in beefing with Waka Flocka Flame. In fact, he isn't interested in beefing with anyone.

"I don't have problems with people, because if I do, I address it," he said when he appeared on Wednesday's "RapFix Live." "If I feel someone disrespected me or if I feel like somebody was mentioning me in an indirect way I'ma find out how to talk to that person and then we'll squash it from there."

There have been rumors of a Wiz and Waka tiff, but it wasn't until Flocka's December interview with DJ Kay Slay on his Shade 45 satellite radio show that eyebrows began to rise. During the interview, Waka said that Wiz had "no swag" and "hyped" his way to the top.

Rather than address his feelings in the media, Khalifa said he'd rather wait to speak to the "O Let's Do It" rapper face to face. "What would I say to him? I really want to say it to him. We'll save it for that, it don't gotta be a public thing. It don't gotta be a peace meeting or nothing like that."

On Tuesday, Waka appeared on Angie Martinez's Hot 97 radio show in New York, and when he was asked about his problems with Wiz, Flocka said the issue was "deaded," but he didn't back down from his original statement. "I voiced my opinion because it's true and it's facts," he said before making some type of amends. "That's a nice guy he makes good music, I got cousins who like his music."

Whatever the case, Wiz won't feed into the negativity. "I never felt no ill will, he has his lane and when his songs come on in the club, people go crazy," Wiz said. "And people like to get high to Wiz Khalifa, so get used to it, baby."

Do you believe that there is serious underlying beef between Wiz Khalifa and Waka Flocka or is it all just media hype? Tell us in the comments.

30 Seconds To Mars' Next Album Will Be A 'Dramatic Departure'

Jared Leto says they'll be 'bringing the world inside our process' in an 'intimate' broadcast on Friday.
By James Montgomery


30 Seconds to Mars

For most of 2011 — when they weren't setting Guinness World Records or winning MTV awards — 30 Seconds To Mars repeatedly ducked questions about their future, getting glib when asked about reports that they were calling it quits.

Of course, much to the relief of the Echelon, on Tuesday, the band put any and all speculation of a split to rest, announcing that they had begun work on the follow-up to their This Is War album ... which sort of raises the question: Were 30STM just messing with us all along? Well, no. Turns out, they were about as unsure of their future as anyone else, as Jared Leto explained to MTV News.

"We weren't playing coy; we were on the road for two years, four months or so, and people started to ask us about a new album, and we didn't have any plans. We didn't know what the future was," he explained. "We had been working for a really long time. We went from A Beautiful Lie right into the studio, right onto the road, I hadn't had a significant break in years. So, at that point, I don't think we knew what was going to happen for the future, so rather than make something up, we just told the truth: We didn't know."

That uncertainty began to change as soon as the band finally took time to decompress following their record-setting world tour. Leto — who admitted he's "always writing songs ... it's basically become a habit at this point" — took a glance at his notebooks and realized that he was feeling recharged and excited about the possibilities a new album would present. Though, before the band started work on the new album, they had to make one thing clear: This time around, they'd try very hard to not try very hard.

"We made a commitment not to tour for all of 2012 ... and I think that helped provide a lot of clarity," Leto laughed. "And we realized there's no way this new record could be like [This Is War,] because the last record was so conceptual and wrapped around this idea of conflict, because we were battling a corporation and being sued for $30 million. That was our lives, being hunkered down in the studio for a couple years, fighting this conglomerate. Of course, now, different time, different state of mind, so this album is definitely a dramatic departure."

That said, there are still some things 30 STM will keep the same on the new album ... namely, incorporating the voices of their worldwide fanbase (they held a series of collaborative recording sessions — so-called "Summits" — during the making of This Is War) and crisscrossing the globe to find inspiration. In fact, Leto rang in 2012 by making a trek to India, where inspiration was definitely not in short supply.

"I was recording in India, and had an amazing experience over there, and came back with some really great material. And not so much that this is a World Beat record, it's more about the experiences and how they're influencing me in creative terms, emotional terms," he explained. "I recorded a tabla player and an Indian folk singer, and I'm hoping I'm able to utilize that on a song. There was one afternoon that we climbed up above a city called Jodhpur, we were on a cliff with a 2,000-year-old fortress behind us. And they call it the blue city; all of the roofs and buildings are painted blue, and when you climb up this mountain you can get a great view of all of it.

"So it was about sunset, and I had a portable set up, so we started recording. I had an external speaker, and the kids started to hear this song I was working on," he continued. "So they started climbing out onto the rooftops of the city, and soon they were scrambling up the side of this mountain, and before we knew it, we were surrounded by dozens of these amazing Indian kids, singing and dancing along to this recording process ... it was really mind-blowing."

And on Friday, fans will be able to get a first listen to some of 30 STM's new material when the band hosts their second It's a way of welcoming their worldwide fanbase into their laboratory, and Leto is thrilled to pull back the curtain. Because though they may be making a "dramatic departure" on album #4, some things will remain the same.

"There are a lot of people around the world who just can't jump on a plane and be part of a show, and that's what we provide [with VyRT]. The event on Friday is different, it's not based around an existing show, it's a show we created and designed, and it's going to be a lot of fun for us," he said. "There will be some music, there will be some mistakes. We're bringing the world inside our process, it will be intimate. I'm going to play some songs, some old songs, some new songs and then maybe some newer songs I've been working on. I'll play a piece of a song here or there — I doubt I'm going to play an entire song, but you never know. It's new territory."
