‘Breaking Dawn’ Promises Far Darker, Bloodier, More Polarizing Scenes

OH BE STILL MY BEATING HEART!

Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn grace the cover of Entertainment Weekly!! BUT WAIT!! So does Jacob (Taylor Lautner)!

The stars of this gigantic franchise tell EW, Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2 (hitting your favorite theaters November 18 and November 2012) “involved a grueling, globe-trotting shoot, and scenes far darker, bloodier, and more polarizing than any in the franchise so far.”  OOOH, is that supposed to scare me off? HELL NO! I can’t wait!

But is the Twilight audience emotionally ready for the graphic and cinematic horrors the film will portray on the big screen such as the brutal birth of the baby, Renesmee? We all know what’s in the book, but are we able to handle it visually on the big screen? “It’s funny because when [the PG-13 issue] comes up, everybody thinks it’s all about the sex,” Stewart says. “The birth is really effective, and I’ve heard it really hits you in the face. But what it could have been? It could have been shocking and grotesque, because that’s how it was written in the book.” She sighs: “I would have loved to have been puking up blood.”
Read the whole story on EW and pick up one of the new issues of Entertainment Weekly, on stands Friday, April 29.

Steven Tyler Is Always “Stoned” On American Idol

Steven Tyler just admitted to being stoned every time he sits down at the judges’ table on American Idol.

Every single time. 
Except instead of his usual array of drugs of the past, Tyler is now high simply on the joy of being on the number 1 show in the country – and sitting next to and breathing in the most beautiful woman in the world.

“If you think going out in front of high-def cameras and millions of people I’m not high on adrenaline, you’re crazy.” He went on to tell People, “I’m stoned when that curtain drops,” but he explained, “I just don’t snort the curtain dropping. I don’t snort J. Lo either, though I do breathe her in.”

Tyler who has been known for infamous fights with his band mates and multiple trips to rehab in the past, is now beside himself that America gets to know and see his softer, warmer, compassionate side.

“I’m on top of the world. I’m Hollywood’s little f***in’ sweetheart, basically,” Tyler told Rolling Stone. He also admitted that he took the Idol job to react to his Aerosmith band mates trying to get rid of him.

“F**k yeah. Not to show them, but that I can’t be held hostage anymore. I will be my own hostage. The band can’t throw me out.”

Sober for a year and a half, the 63-year old ex-party king is just glad to be alive.  He told People: “Left up to my own devices, I probably would have been dead several times over.” You can read all about his past escapades in his memoir, Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? which will be released May 3.

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

I think I just found my personal next American Idol after watching James Durbin perform Carole King’s Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.

Every Idol top 10 contestant has been sooooo good this year, I haven’t been able to pinpoint my favorite. I liked them all equally.

Until tonight.

When Durbin stole my heart.

AND YES JAMES, I will definitely still love you tomorrow.

Steven Tyler did not disappoint: “That’s the first song I ever made out to a girl with…Oh ya, I was in a bowling alley and no, Randy, I did not strike out!”

J.Lo gushed like I did. “I thought from the begining it was magical, totally magical. You are gonna be the star of the night with that one. James has had a strong week every week. We talk about consistency and that’s what’s gonna win it.”

Randy Jackson went a step further: “Tonight you weren’t just a great rock singer. Tonight you proved you are a great singer. That was not only the performance of the night, this guy just might win the whole thing.” And with that said, Randy rushed the stage and hugged Durbin!

Watch Durbin’s magic for yourself!

Nick Cannon & Cory Gunz Debut Their ‘Son Of A Gun’ MTV Series

Cory Gunz is a talented 23-year old rapper who hopes the world will soon get to know him real well when his new docu-series, Son of a Gun, premieres on MTV April 28.

I got an exclusive sneak peek of the premiere episode of Son of a Gun earlier this month at the Reality Rocks Expo held in downtown Los Angeles and I can tell you for sure that the show will give you a raw look into the struggles facing an up and coming rapper in New York as he comes of age while trying to make it in this cut throat industry.
Cory held a Q&A panel alongside his father and rapper, Peter Gunz and the show’s executive producer, Nick Cannon. The standing room only audience gripped on to every word the soft spoken Cory had to say about his upcoming show. Cory said MTV is the right platform for his music because “it is the music television station and he grew up watching it.” Father Gunz added, “I don’t think you can get a bigger platform than MTV. It’s a dream.”

Currently, Gunz is signed to Lil’ Wayne’s Young Money and is featured on his single 6 Foot 7 Foot. Watch Nick Cannon explain why he picked Cory for the show:

Video: ‘American Idol’s’ Frenchie Davis ‘Kisses A Girl’ & Shines On ‘The Voice’

I love people who never give up on their dreams. Case in point, Frenchie Davis who got disqualified on season 2 of American Idol for some racy photos she had taken earlier on in life, but who is still pursuing her dreams of becoming a bona fide singer 8 years later.

Fast forward to almost a decade after her dreams were crushed on Idol, Frenchie is trying out for a brand new singing competition, The Voice, starring Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton as “coaches.”
For her audition, Frenchie sang Katy Perry‘s I Kissed a Girl and Aguilera liked her voice so much, she blindly picked her to be on her team of 8 singers whom she will coach throughout the competition.
Watch Frenchie’s audition here:
