Our Favorite Celebrity Couples Of 2011

From Britney and Jason to K-Stew and R-Pattz, we look back at the best high-profile pair-ups of the year.
By Jocelyn Vena

From young love to established romantic empires, 2011 was all about PDA. Some of La La Land's most A-list couples weren't shy about flaunting the love they share. From musicians to actors to everyone in between, the last 12 months were all about sharing the love. As the year winds down, MTV News is reflecting on some of our favorite couples of the year. <div class="player-placeholder right" title="Britney Spears' 'Criminal': Frame By Frame" id="vid:703500" width="240" height="211"></div> <big>Britney Spears and Jason Trawick</big> The couple walked red carpets, gave each other shout-outs at <a href="/news/articles/1669846/britney-spears-vmas-best-pop-video.jhtml">awards shows</a> and even got naked together in <a href="/news/articles/1672795/britney-spears-criminal-video-director.jhtml">Britney's "Criminal" video</a>, but it wasn't until December that they decided to make it official. After two years of dating, Spears and Trawick took their relationship to the next level, with confirmation that Jason <a href="/news/articles/1676120/britney-spears-is-engaged.jhtml">put a ring on it</a>. The pair celebrated their love and their impending nuptials in Las Vegas. Their engagement sparked headlines and left Spears "glowing." <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2011/12/27/who-was-your-favorite-celebrity-couple-of-2011-poll/"><big>Who is your top couple of 2011? Vote in our Newsroom poll!</big></a> <big>Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez</big> Summing up <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/gomez__selena/artist.jhtml">Selena Gomez</a>'s year into a little blurb isn't that easy. They went to <a href="/news/articles/1658832/justin-bieber-selena-gomez-vanity-fair-oscars.jhtml">events</a> together, and Bieber lavishly <a href="/news/articles/1671462/justin-bieber-selena-gomez-staples-center.jhtml">rented the Staples Center</a> just to watch "Titanic." And when they weren't chilling out, they were giving shine to each other's hard work. Or bringing each other gifts. Remember when Bieber showed Selena his <a href="/news/articles/1669881/vmas-justin-bieber-selena-gomez.jhtml">pet snake, Johnson</a>, at the VMAs? Yes, we knew you wouldn't forget. <big>Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson</big> The two "Twilight" stars seem poised to make our favorite couples lists for years to come. While in years past, they've remained under the radar, this year they came out of their shell and opened up about one another in interviews. Who could forget the time that K-Stew referred to her not-so-mysterious <a href="/news/articles/1672006/kristen-stewart-rob-pattinson-english-boyfriend.jhtml">"English" boyfriend</a> in an interview?

When Beyoncé stepped out at the VMAs, her expanding midsection and flashy performance was the ultimate <a href="/news/articles/1669849/beyonce-pregnant-vmas.jhtml">pregnancy announcement</a>. Jay-Z didn't seem to mind all the attention. He celebrated the baby news in the audience with his pal Kanye West. <big>Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose</big> Amber Rose rebounded from her relationship with Kanye West by falling in love with <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/wiz_khalifa/artist.jhtml">Wiz Khalifa</a>. The couple took the world on their wild relationship ride, from <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2011/03/30/amber-rose-joins-beau-wiz-khalifa-on-rapfix-live/">doing interviews together</a> to <a href="/news/articles/1672027/wiz-khalifa-amber-rose-wedding-rumors.jhtml">sparking rumors</a> that they had tied the knot. These two kept everyone talking and they don't seem to mind the attention, or spending lots of time with one another. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mtvnews/posts/347755691907862">Did we forget your favorite couple of 2011?

'X Factor' Michael Jackson Night Has Singers On Edge

Meanwhile, Paula Abdul has been absent from the set since her final group was eliminated last week.
By Jim Cantiello

MTV News' own Jim Cantiello is exclusively covering "The X Factor" rehearsals. Read on for his fly-on-the-wall backstage report! LOS ANGELES — "The X Factor" top seven are back on the lot after their first (and only) mini-vacation of the season. And as the Thanksgiving tryptophan wears off, the anxiety of another double elimination is setting in. <div class="player-placeholder right" title="'X Factor' Star Astro Teases His Michael Jackson Song Night Performance" id="vid:714741" width="240" height="211"></div> Adding to the stress? "The X Factor" is tackling the songs of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/jackson_michael/artist.jhtml">Michael Jackson</a> on Wednesday night (November 30), on the 29th anniversary of Thriller's release, no less. One of the contestants is so stressed over the theme he's emerged as a total perfectionist. During Monday's rehearsals, he had already nixed multiple arrangements the show had provided him. "This is the most unprepared I've felt on a Monday," he said to his mentor as they rushed out of Stage 36. There was a camera crew chasing them to capture the drama — as well as the ensuing late-night emergency meeting with the vocal coaches — so don't be surprised if some of this intense footage ends up in your living room. (This afternoon's dress rehearsal went swimmingly, for the record.) Meanwhile, one contestant had a full-on battle with his/her mentor over a chair. The mentor said, "Sit and sing." The contestant said, "Again?! How about I do something on my feet for Michael Jackson week?" Another mentor came to the defense of the contestant. In the end, the contestant is sitting after all. Don't worry, contestant. The eerie arrangement of an MJ classic is what folks are going to be buzzing about. No one will care if you sit or stand. In the control room, I spied one of the bigwigs utter the word "brilliant!" after the contestant's dress rehearsal. Another hot topic: wardrobe! When paying homage to one of the biggest music icons ever, it's tempting for the stylists to include clothing nods to Michael's various looks. But several singers are worried they'll look too much like Jackson impersonators, which has caused many a headache in the wardrobe trailer. But stylist June Ambrose is still able to keep things light in the midst of the drama. While waiting around for a contestant's last-minute fitting, she started an impromptu MJ dance party on the lot. Crotch grabs and "woo" included! Lastly, Paula Abdul's sunny energy has been noticeably absent on the CBS lot now that all her groups have been eliminated. She went from being the most hands-on mentor to an on-set ghost. "The X Factor" family can't wait to welcome her back for her first live show as strictly a judge. What do you think she's been doing with her newfound free time? You can catch Jim on the "X Factor Pepsi Pre-Show," streaming at 7 p.m. ET tonight on <a href="http://www.thexfactorusa.com/" target="_blank">TheXFactorUSA.com</a>!

Paris Hilton's Comeback Song with Lil Wayne Makes No Sense

Sometimes, two very different things go together like chocolate and peanut butter. Other times, they go together like Paris Hilton and Lil Wayne. Meaning: not so well. The hotel heiress, who was apparently under the impression that we missed her, is releasing a new single with the controversial rapper, titled "Good Time." The song is pretty awful, with a dance hook and a rap that seem taken from completely different songs. Watch the teaser below. (Warning: strong language.)

'Glee' Star Chris Colfer Teases Michael Jackson Tribute Episode

'I sing part of 'Black [or] White.' I'm the 'white' in 'Black [or] White,' ' actor reveals on the Golden Globes red carpet.
By Amy Wilkinson, with reporting by Josh Horowitz

Fox's song-and-dance series "Glee" is no stranger to a star-studded cameo or two, with the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, John Stamos and Kristin Chenoweth all walking the halls of McKinley High during the past two and a half seasons. And as the show returns from a month-long hiatus, Gleeks aren't the only ones anticipating a few more famous faces. As star Chris Colfer told MTV News on the Golden Globes red carpet, there's plenty to look forward to when New Directions warble again January 17. "Well, the Michael Jackson episode ...," Colfer answered when asked about his most-anticipated upcoming episodes. "We have a Spanish episode coming up with Ricky Martin. We have a Valentine's Day episode coming up, so that's going to be fun." <CENTER><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:725517/cp~name%3Dnews%26id%3D1677338%26vid%3D725517%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A725517" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></CENTER> Martin is slated to play "the hottest Spanish teacher ever in the history of Ohio," according to <a href="http://www.tvline.com/2011/11/glee-ricky-martin-season-3/" target="_blank">TVLine</a>. The actor/singer recently <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/ricky_martin/status/155141894333140993" target="_blank">tweeted</a> a joyful picture from his first day on set. As to how the King of Pop's prolific songbook will manifest itself in the January 31 tribute episode, Colfer explained, "Well, I sing part of 'Black [or] White.' I'm the 'White' in 'Black [or] White,' and I sing 'Ben,' that famous song he wrote for the rat." The rodent in question is the pet of a young boy named Danny in the 1972 film "Ben." Jackson sang a version of the theme song that appeared in the movie's closing credits and was later included on his 1972 album also named Ben. The track "Black or White" was the first single off of Jackson's 1991 album Dangerous. <big>Stick with MTV News all night for the 2012 Golden Globes winners, and don't miss all the fashion from the <a href="http://style.mtv.com/2012/01/15/golden-globes-red-carpet/">Golden Globes red carpet</a>!</big>

'Glee'-Cap: Michael Jackson Invades McKinley High

King of Pop's takeover leads to some head-scratching song choices.
By Jim Cantiello

"Glee" paid tribute to Michael Jackson during Tuesday night's episode and, shockingly, kept the story moving along in the midst of several MJ-inspired musical numbers. Kurt, Rachel and Quinn all received great news about college, Rachel finally accepted Finn's proposal and evil Sebastian's plot to harm Kurt with a doctored slushee backfired when Blaine took the hit for his boyfriend. <div class="player-placeholder right" title="'Glee'-Cap: Michael Jackson Takes Over McKinley High" id="vid:730282.id:1671179" width="240" height="211"></div> Yet the forced "all Michael, all the time" song selection led to some head-scratching scenes including Kurt, Rachel and Finn serenading an injured Blaine with Jackson's love song to a rat, "Ben," and two different music-video re-enactments only appealed to Jackson superfans. The rest of us can enjoy my latest "Glee-cap"! Hit play on the embedded video and sing along with these lyrics. "Glee," "Glee" 's really hit the skids MJ would have loved all the singing kids Time for a tribute Veiled as a dispute They all imitate Michael's vocal takes Wish they didn't try To simply ape his sigh I guess "Glee" got paid In tickets to <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2011/12/07/jackson-family-and-crew-talk-about-new-cirque-du-soleil-show-michael-jackson-immortal/">Cirque du Soleil</a> It's bad! It's bad! Come on! Oh, pointless themed episodes Make me push fast-forward on my TiVo Artie's "Scream" remake Complete with head shakes Tired of getting dissed Mike Chang's now his sis? Warblers fight for songs No prob doing wrong They're all blindly cruel Since Blaine left their school Quinn sang goodbye to every ex Have a seat, this'll take awhile (She's had lots of sex) Quinn got into Yale And I'm all, "How?" Then got distracted by Damian's hyper eyebrows They're bad! They're bad! Relax them! If you don't, I will come wax them! Slutpig tried to slushee Kurt But Blaine got in the way Left him needing surgery How dare you hurt my gay! Despite Blaine's cute eye patch Kurt is hungry for revenge But that's a different better show on ABC, my friend "Glee," drop the shtick, you're better than this Forcing Jackson songs is just as bad as this forced kiss Just because you can afford it doesn't mean it has worth Unless you're trying to give me nightmares In that case, it worked No more bells and whistles, please Clever songs are all you need I get it, Ryan Murphy, Blaine had to bleed So <a href="/news/articles/1676997/darren-crisis-how-to-succeed-in-business.jhtml">Darren could star in "How to Succeed"</a> But making Kurt and Finchel sing "Ben" to Blaine Is the very definition of insane I hope next week they get it right With no stupid guests hogging "Glee" 's spotlight [Cue clip of next week's episode starring Ricky Martin] Whoops! What did you think of this week's "Glee"? Let us know in the comments!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Christina look less than perfect, even when she’s just out and about. Let’s face it, she probably rolls out of bed looking nothing less than stellar. Christina, what’s your secret? Please do share!

'Glee' Michael Jackson Episode: Rumored Set List Leaks

Perez Hilton reports that January 24 episode includes a 'Beat It' and 'Billie Jean' mash-up.
By Jocelyn Vena

"Glee" has already dedicated entire episodes to <a href="/news/articles/1637098/madonna-gives-props-to-glee-episode.jhtml">Madonna</a>, <a href="/news/articles/1648829/britney-spears-glee-episode-everything-you-need-to-know.jhtml">Britney Spears</a> and <a href="/news/articles/1639871/glee-lady-gaga-episode-is-fantastic-matthew-morrison-says.jhtml">Lady Gaga</a>, and come 2012, it's the King of Pop's turn. A rumored set list for the January 24 "Glee" Michael Jackson tribute episode has hit the Web, and it features some of the late singer's greatest hits. <a href="http://perezhilton.com/2011-12-27-glee-michael-jackson-tribute-episode-setlist#.TvoRm0rkk7A" target="_blank">Perez Hilton</a> reports that 14 tracks have made the final cut, although the list has yet to be confirmed by anyone connected with the show. <div class="player-placeholder right" title="'Glee' Cast Members Talk Michael Jackson Episode" id="vid:549513.id:1645343" width="240" height="211"></div> The set list (along with who will perform the track) reportedly includes "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' " (Blaine), "Bad" (the New Directions and the Warblers), "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (Finn and Rachel), "Smooth Criminal" (Santana and Sebastian), "Never Can Say Goodbye" (Quinn), "In the Closet" (Brittany and Santana), "We Are the World" (the New Directions and the Warblers), "Black and White" (Puck), "Ghost"/"Monster" (New Directions), "Beat It"/"Billie Jean" (Warblers), "The Way You Make Me Feel" (Kurt) and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" (Artie). This is hardly the first time the show has paid homage to Jackson. Back in 2010, the <a href="/news/articles/1657395/glee-thriller.jhtml">New Directions performed his track "Thriller,"</a> complete with zombie garb, during an episode that aired after the Super Bowl. The show has also previously covered "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" and "Man in the Mirror." Back in 2010, the cast of the hit Fox show had only imagined what it would be like to have an entire <a href="http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2010/08/09/glee-michael-jackson/">episode dedicated to Jackson</a>. "I would love to do a Michael Jackson episode," Amber Riley told MTV News at the time. "You know, it's so many [songs that I love], but my favorite song by him is 'Human Nature.' I love that song." While Riley seemed psyched about the opportunity, castmate Jenna Ushkowitz found the possibility a little more daunting. "That's a scary, scary episode to do," she said. "[But] that would be absolutely amazing." Are you happy with the rumored set list? What's missing? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Taylor Swift on Her Love Life, Miley Cyrus and More in Glamour UK

Taylor Swift talks about her much publicized love life, speculates about dating celebrities in the future, and what it’s like to make mistakes that are so widely scrutinized and more in Glamour UK’s November cover story. Oh, yes, she also offers the obligatory opinion of Miley Cyrus!

In advance of the European leg of her Red Tour, which will kick off in London early next year, the country-pop superstar whose love life, and string of ex-boyfriends who live on as songwriting fodder, gives us her take on what she calls the “chaos” that “breaks loose” whenever she dates someone, the “fabrication and frantic obsession and who likes who more and how it ended.”

While probing questions about a performing artist’s love life might be the stuff of tabloids, celebrity mags, and social media chatter, what happens when that same performer tells that unnamed somebody “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and lets the rest of the world overhear?

Perhaps addressing our latent cynicism over her dating cycles, Taylor Swif tells Glamour UK she “never had a perfect fit with someone” even as she envisions what it might be, adding, “Here’s what I’ve learned about deal-breakers. If you have enough natural chemistry with someone, you overlook every single thing that you said would break the deal.”

But the opinions of others? She, wisely, steers away. She says, “Vanity can apply to both insecurity and egotism. So I distance myself, because I feel everything. The little I am exposed to hurts my feelings. The only things I can really control are my songs and my behavior If I focused on it, that would lead to insanity.”

As for the behavior of that other pop star, Miley Cyrus, she said, “There’s room for role models who make mistakes. There’s clearly room for role models who are made fun of at award shows, not that I necessarily enjoy being poked fun at!”

From her comparatively quiet realm, Taylor Swift also recently announced the concert dates in the UK. She will perform at O2 Arena in 2014 on February 1, 2 and 4.

Adam Lambert's 'Whole Lotta Love': The Story Behind The Cover

Glam rocker tackled the legendary 1970 Led Zeppelin song for 'American Idol' rock night.
By Gil Kaufman

Imagine a freight train speeding toward you at midnight. Or a rockslide barreling down a hill as you try to outrace it. That's the feeling of the ominous, chugging Jimmy Page riff that kicks off <MTVNLINK type="url" id="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/led_zeppelin/artist.jhtml">Led Zeppelin</MTVNLINK>'s 1970 Stonehenge of rock, "Whole Lotta Love." And that's before singer Robert Plant leans into one of the nastiest, ecstatic rock screams this side of the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again." That's the song Adam Lambert chose to sing on <a href="/news/articles/1610708/adam-allison-shine-on-idol-rock-night.jhtml">"American Idol" rock night</a> Tuesday (May 5), and, needless to say, it was a challenge that the eyeliner-loving Los Angeles stage veteran was more than up for, hitting a series of high notes and rock screams that would have made Plant proud. It was a risky maneuver that paid off for Lambert, who chose a tune that came in at #75 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2004. <div style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;"> <embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtvmusic.com:84215" width="256" height="223" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashVars="dist=http://www.mtvmusic.com" allowFullScreen="true" AllowScriptAccess="always"></embed></div> The legendary British rock act recorded the tribute to Chicago blues icon Willie Dixon during their second U.S. tour after working it out in their live show, including it on their 1969 classic album Led Zeppelin II. Like many of the songs Zeppelin performed early in their career, "Love" was a blues standard turned on its head with a heavy dose of crunching psychedelic guitar and thundering drums, courtesy of late drummer John Bonham. The song was based on a 1962 tune by another blues forefather, Muddy Waters, called "You Need Love," which was penned by Dixon. For Zeppelin's version, Plant customized the lyrics by adding some lyrical quotes from a few other songs Dixon wrote for Howlin' Wolf, "Back Door Man" and "Shake For Me," nailing the tricky vocal in a single take. It was also inspired by 1966's "You Need Loving" from the British rock group the Small Faces, for whom Zeppelin had great affection, but they also did not credit Dixon for his part in writing the original lyrics. The song became Zeppelin's first U.S. single and their only U.S. top 10 hit. Though their manager would not let them release singles in the U.K. because he thought it cannibalized album sales, the song was finally released as the band's only British single in 1997. Dixon sued Zeppelin over the song in 1985, claiming it borrowed too heavily from his "You Need Love," and Zeppelin reached an agreement with him, with Dixon using the money he received to set up a program that provided musical instruments for schools. A cornerstone of heavy rock, the tune -- which was the theme song for the long-running British countdown show "Top of the Pops" in the 1970s and '80s -- has been covered by dozens of artists over the years, from Tina Turner and Ben Harper to Prince, Slash, Leona Lewis, Train's Pat Monahan, the London Symphony Orchestra and Jane's Addiction.

Prince Harry Attends the International Fleet Review Down Under

Commemorating the 100 year anniversary of the Royal Australian Navy's fleet arriving into Sydney, Prince Harry met Vice Admiral Ray Griggs, AO CSC Chief of Navy before they embarked the HMAS Leeuwin on Saturday (October 5).

Positively dashing in full military dress, red-headed Harry wore a naval beret, white dress coat decorated with a sash and hangings of honor, white gloves and mirror-shine black dress shoes.

All attending the 2013 International Fleet Review in Sydney, Australia, more than 50 ships participated at Sydney Harbour. Prince Harry was an official guest of the Australian Government and will take part in the fleet review during his two-day visit to Australia.

According to ABC News, Australia's first navy fleet of seven cruisers and destroyers entered Sydney's harbor for the first time on Oct. 4, 1913.

Sinead O’Connor’s Open Letter to Miley Cyrus…and Her Response

Sinead O’Connor has written an open letter to Miley Cyrus warning her to not let herself be prostituted by the music industry. And Miley Cyrus has responded! Find out about the exchange of words between the iconic Irish singer-songwriter, herself no stranger to controversy, and the would-be bad girl pop music star.

It comes as no surprise that Sinead O’Connor would make a public statement. It was Miley Cyrus herself who said that her ‘Wrecking Ball’ video — yes, it’s controversial, so assume controversy over every public move the former Hannah Montana makes unless otherwise indicated — was inspired by O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” video. It was in that “Rolling Stone” magazine interview that Miley Cyrus made the comparison, which may have been overlooked at the time, as there were so many other quotable quotes, not to mention the topless cover photo.

As every music artist on the planet is already being asked in interviews to comment upon Miley Cyrus’ MTV VMAs performance, it was all the more so for Sinead O’Conner as she had been named-checked. She said in her open letter that was part of her motivation. Most pragmatically we can imagine, after “dodging phone calls from various newspapers” as she puts it.

While of course it’s being reported by some in the media that Sinead O’Connor is “slamming” Miley Cyrus, it’s simply not the case. The 46-year-old music artist addresses the 20-year-old music artist in what she says is “in the spirit of motherliness and with love.”

In part:

The music business doesn’t give a sh– about you, or any of us. They will prostitute you for all you are worth, and cleverly make you think its what YOU wanted.. and when you end up in rehab as a result of being prostituted, “they” will be sunning themselves on their yachts in Antigua, which they bought by selling your body and you will find yourself very alone.

None of the men oggling you give a sh– about you either, do not be fooled. Many’s the woman mistook lust for love. If they want you sexually that doesn’t mean they give a f— about you. All the more true when you unwittingly give the impression you don’t give much of a f— about yourself. And when you employ people who give the impression they don’t give much of a f— about you either. No one who cares about you could support your being pimped.. and that includes you yourself.

The letter in full is here.

Miley Cyrus’ response to the letter, which runs slightly longer than 1,000 words, is a single Tweet that doesn’t even use up the full 140 characters:

“Before Amanda Bynes…. There was…. pic.twitter.com/6JZPVnunPc”

The image is a screenshot of several Tweets from Sinead O’Connor. In some of them O’Connor herself is saying that she needs a psychiatrist. It’s followed by a Tweet with a photo of O’Connor on Saturday Night Live. Yes, that controversial appearance in which she tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II.

Yes, that’s an Amanda Bynes comparison. I think we can register that as a “slam” or what we would otherwise call an ad hominem response. It would appear that the hard-fought, hard-won lessons of female empowerment and artistic independence have been completely lost on the 20-year-old who not long afterwards Tweeted a link to the latest batch of salacious photos of herself taken by Terry Richardson, director of her “Wrecking Ball” video. She is partially nude and topless in some of the NSFW pics.

As the elder artist puts it:

“You also said in Rolling Stone that your look is based on mine. The look I chose, I chose on purpose at a time when my record company were encouraging me to do what you have done. I felt I would rather be judged on my talent and not my looks. I am happy that I made that choice, not least because I do not find myself on the proverbial rag heap now that I am almost 47 yrs of age.. which unfortunately many female artists who have based their image around their sexuality, end up on when they reach middle age.”

It does beg the question, what does Miley Cyrus intend to be doing when she herself is 47? At this rate, one wonders how she will make it to 21. However it may unfold, we will be dragged along as witnesses as we have been since the fateful night of August 25, 2013, the night of her MTV VMAs performance with the twerking, the tongue, the foam No. 1 finger, the teddy bears, and so on and so on.

The Miley Cyrus perpetual news cycle is not yet over. Her new album, ‘Bangerz’ will be released on October 8, closely following her stint as host and musical guest on ‘Saturday Night Live’ on October 5th. So we have days more to slog through, and there will be days after to continue to slog.

Meanwhile, for a much-needed breather, check out the inspiration for “Wrecking Ball,” Sinead O’Connor’s original “Nothing Compares 2 U” video below.

5 Surprising Things We Learned About Miley from Her MTV Doc

Miley Cyrus's documentary Miley Cyrus: The Movement premiered on MTV Wednesday night, chronicling the four months between the release of her single "We Can't Stop" and her notorious performance of the song on the Video Music Awards. We were expecting the movie to be a big infomercial for Miley, which it kind of was. But it also showed us something we weren't expecting: the degree to which the 20-year-old singer controls her image and career. The twerking, nude wrecking-ball rides, and even her short buzzcut are all part of Miley's plan to recreate pop stardom on her own terms. The girl knows what she's doing. Even the fact that we're impressed by this documentary, which she produced, is further proof that Miley is one step ahead of us. Below, five new things we discovered about Miley Cyrus while watching Miley: The Movement.

Naomi Watts & Ben Stiller: “While We’re Young” Fun in NYC

Continuing work on their new project, Naomi Watts and Ben Stiller showed up on the set of “While We’re Young” in Downtown Manhattan today (October 4).

The “Meet the Parents” hunk looked to be thoroughly enjoying himself as he posed for a camera phone picture with a female crew member and her adorable pooch pal.

Meanwhile, Ms. Watts looked far different than her “Diana” character as she strolled around the lot in a navy blue robe and green sandals.

Per the synopsis, “While We’re Young” is about “an uptight documentary filmmaker and his wife who find their lives loosened up a bit after befriending a free-spirited younger couple.”

RYAN PHILLIPPE Dines Out in West Hollywood

Visit the Gallery (8 Images)

Cutie Ryan Phillippe was sporting a boy-next-door casual ensemble as he headed out for dinner last night at Craig’s in West Hollywood. The actor (and ex-husband of Reese Witherspoon) might have been acting a little camera-shy, but pap’s were able to snap a few great shots.

Phillippe kept it cool in a black baseball hat, white tee, black jacket and jeans. His family baby face was sporting a bit of scruff, which definitely works. We’re not sure with whom Ry was enjoying dinner but the jury has reached a verdict on this sexy actor’s casual dinner duds: It works!

Does Britney Spears Have 'The X Factor'?

MTV News takes a look at the pros and cons of bringing Spears onboard as a judge for the reality singing competition.
By John Mitchell

The news that <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/spears_britney/artist.jhtml">Britney Spears</a> is reportedly in final negotiations to <a href="/news/articles/1680782/britney-spears-x-factor-judge-offer.jhtml">join "The X Factor"</a> has set the <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com">MTV Newsroom</a> on fire. Opinion on whether the pop star is a good fit for the reality singing competition has been sharply divided, so we decided to take on the topic the way we're sure Simon Cowell did before making Spears a reported $10 million offer: a good, old-fashioned pros and cons list. <embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:698603/cp~vid%3D698603%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A698603" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed> <big>Pro: She'll attract viewers</big> The <a href="/news/articles/1671220/x-factor-simon-cowell-ratings.jhtml">debut season of "The X Factor"</a> performed well below expectations. Its heavily hyped premiere pulled in 12.1 million total viewers and a meager 4.4/12 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18 to 49 demographic. That's about half of what the 2011 season of "American Idol" averaged ("Idol" is having its own ratings woes this season), and it didn't even win the night: Emmy-winning sitcom "Modern Family" drew 14.3 million viewers and a 6.0/15 for its season premiere. The poor ratings precipitated the overhaul that saw judges <a href="/news/articles/1678191/paula-abdul-exits-x-factor.jhtml">Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger</a> and host Steve Jones fired from the show. There's no question that Spears would bring viewers to "The X Factor." She enjoys a large and devout fanbase who will basically follow her just about anywhere. And beyond her own fans, Spears' celebrity would also likely draw attention from the general public, who will tune in simply to see how she does. <big> Con: She's become nervous on camera </big> Though she can still wow a crowd live in concert, as evidenced by last year's successful tour behind her hit album Femme Fatale, Spears has become increasingly tentative during interviews. She rarely grants on-camera sit-downs, and when she does, she seems nervous and uncomfortable. To be a strong judge or mentor on a reality show, you have to be very comfortable on camera. Part of what made Jennifer Lopez click last season on "Idol" was that she came across as confident, direct and often empathetic. She even broke down in tears after <a href="/news/articles/1658584/americaon-idol-top-24.jhtml">sending home contestant Chris Medina</a>, whose fiancée suffered a severe brain injury in a car accident. The key word here is after. It's hard to imagine Spears being able to keep it together and deliver such difficult news in similar circumstances. It's worth noting that a high-drama situation arose on the first season of "The X Factor" -- one that left <a href="/news/articles/1675936/x-factor-rachel-crow-elimination-reaction.jhtml">contestant Rachel Crow sobbing</a> onstage and Scherzinger a wreck ... a wreck who received <a href="http://www.thefablife.com/2011-12-05/paula-abdul-and-nicole-scherzinger-receive-death-threats-after-the-x-factor-elimination/" target="_blank">death threats</a>. Producers should also consider whether it's wise to send Spears, who has dealt with emotional issues in the past, into a genre that thrives when the emotional stakes are high. <big>Pro: she is a contemporary artist</big> One of the things we like most about <a href="/news/articles/1680496/the-voice-battle-rounds.jhtml">"The Voice"</a> is that its judges — Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton — are all active artists. They are all still hitting the studio to make hit records, and that lends a great deal of credibility to their opinions when they critique a contestant's performance. We don't mean to slight Abdul or Scherzinger, but you could argue that a legacy singer who hasn't released an album in over 17 years and a performer who has had a difficult time getting her own solo singing career off the ground aren't the best judges of who does and does not have "The X Factor." On the other hand, Spears may be. <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2011/03/29/britney-spears-femme-fatale-reviews/">Last year's Femme Fatale</a> gave Spears three top-10 singles — the most of any of her seven albums — and earned some of the best reviews of her career. While it's true that she did not write or produce much of the record, she was most certainly involved in picking her collaborators, which actually could speak well of her ability to know talent when she sees it. Spears also smartly chose red-hot rapper Nicki Minaj to open on the North American leg of her tour. When it comes to the contemporary pop music scene, Spears knows what works. <big>Con: She's not known for her singing</big> Unlike Aguilera, whose talent as a vocalist is indisputable, Spears is not known for her singing. By signing her to judge and mentor a singing competition, "X Factor" producers are setting themselves up for inevitable criticism. "Who is Britney Spears to judge a singing competition?" critics will scream (and they won't be wrong). When Aguilera critiques a performer's vocals, she speaks with authority — and her ear for singing proved to make her the most discerning judge on the "Voice" panel during the <a href="/news/articles/1679565/the-voice-christina-aguilera-jonathas-usher.jhtml">blind auditions</a>. Spears' judging style will likely be based on liking what's already there, but she's not going to have much insight on missed notes or pitch, which will cripple her ability to further mentor her team. How can she help them improve as vocalists when it's a truth universally acknowledged that she's not really a vocalist herself? Do you think Britney Spears is a good choice for "The X Factor"? Let us know in the comments below.
