Tiana May Carter: Beyonce?s Baby Girl?

Is Tiana May Carter Beyonce?s baby girl? Rumor has it that Bey gave birth to her Bey-Be yesterday! Ok, so the source is ?Twitter? that is totally reliable, right? I mean Tiana is totally a name I can imagine Beyonce giving her baby girl. Folks have gone into overdrive with this baby stuff. First she wasn?t pregnant at all, she was paying a surrogate and taking prednisone to fatten up. Say WHAT?!?!? Now, the rumor is she was knocked up and has rented out half to floor of St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital, a private facility in New York. Can you even do that? Lets address the not knocked up rumors first. While this may be believable for some celebs, these pics make me think otherwise. She was about 6 months pregnant at the time, and it shows. She is in great shape and continued working out through her pregnancy. Could she look like this NOT pregnant? I have been on prednisone and it made me gain a ton of weight, and it looked nothing like this. Trust me. As far as renting out half the hospital floor, I don?t know if you can do that, but if the rumors are [...]

Mariah Carey Opens Up About Monroe & Moroccan

She's all set to spoil her little bundles of joy on their very first Christmas, and Mariah Carey gives the world an update on twins Monroe and Moroccan during a soon-to-be-aired Fuse TV special.

The 41-year-old singer - who was spotted out with husband Nick Cannon in Aspen on Friday evening (December 23) - is featured in a new interview titled "Mariah Carey: On The Record with Fuse," with the program making its premiere this Sunday (December 25) at 8 p.m. ET.

Talking about the relatable nature of her babies at such a young age, Mimi said, "It's so funny ... there's a picture of the two of us together and we look identical and we have the identical smile. I recognize the joy that's in him. There's something that was always free about me, it just got stifled as things grew in my career."

Carey adds that Moroccan is very welcoming, and if one were to approach him he would "just smile and be your best friend."

As for Moroccan's sister, Mariah dished, "We have Miss Monroe Cannon ? that's what I call her, Miss Monroe. She's very dainty and she holds her own bottle. She's Miss Independent, definitely Miss Independent."

Barack and Michelle Obama to Appear on 20/20


Barack and Michelle Obama will appear on ABC's 20/20 tonight.

Barbara Walters, who says she may retire in 2012, conducted the interview with the First Couple and aired a preview of it yesterday on The View (below).

In the sit-down, Michelle Obama talked about the importance of prioritizing herself, even while married to the U.S. President, and sending the right message to the couple's two young daughters. Clearly, the family dynamic works for them:

This great exchange also happens at another juncture:

Walters: "What is your biggest peeve of each other?"
President Obama: "I don't have one."
Walters: "Aww."
Michelle Obama: "My list is too long."

Hey, at least the payroll tax cut extension passed.

On how she came to arrive at her signature beauty look:

On her uber blonde tresses:
"My hair color is by L?Or�al Paris, but I won?t reveal the number. And I do my roots as often as Marilyn Monroe did hers ? I?m serious. I found out."

Black Keys Go Big On El Camino, In Between Chick-Fil-A Visits

Keys scored highest chart debut of their career earlier this week, when El Camino opened at #2.
By James Montgomery, with reporting by Matt Elias

Earlier this week, building on the breakout success of their Brothers album and powered by current single "Lonely Boy," the Black Keys' El Camino roared to a #2 debut on the Billboard albums chart, by far their biggest bow to date.

And though many were surprised by the first-week numbers, the Keys themselves weren't. After all, they've known the stakes were higher from the minute they started recording El Camino — even though they tried very hard to ignore that fact.

"We were aware that more people were paying attention to us than ever had, but we tried not to let it get into our heads," drummer Patrick Carney told MTV News. "It definitely didn't affect the making of the album, but, you know, we were trying to take advantage of the situation, because we've been a band for a decade and the whole point, for us, was to play to as many people as possible without compromising. So we put a lot of time and effort into the new record. We've made records in 14 hours before; this one we spent 40 days on."

Of course, that extended stay in the studio had just as much to do with the band's increased stature as it did with El Camino's expanded scope. From its skuzzy, fuzzy guitars to the pealing organs and keening backing vocals, it packs a whole lot into just 38 breakneck minutes, taking the Keys' signature two-man racket to newfound places and spaces.

"When we started the songs, it was completely organic, but once we start going, and we get the foundation done, we really start to concentrate on the little details that sort of make it what it's going to be, because sometimes those little details can be really impactful," frontman Dan Auerbach said. "And that's why it took us longer than it's ever taken us to make a record."

Though most are quick to chalk that expansion to the band's work with producer Danger Mouse (whom they've collaborated with since 2008's Attack & Release), the Keys say that it was mostly due to them wanting to take full advantage of everything Brothers provided. In fact, the majority of their conversations with the Mouse involved nothing more than chicken.

"Most of our discussions were about Chick-fil-A," Carney laughed.

"Yeah," Auerbach added. "The distance to and from Chick-fil-A."

Beyonce's Pregnancy, Ryan Dunn's Death Top 2011 Twitter Topics

'Pretty Little Liars,' Charlie Sheen were also hot on social networking site this year.
By Jocelyn Vena

It was a busy year on Twitter. People tweeted about everything from tragedy to triumph in 2011. The social networking site has released some of the year's biggest trending topics and hashtags as 2011 comes to a close.

Beyoncé's pregnancy reveal at the VMAs back in August tops the site's list for most tweets per second (TPS). The headline-making news received 9,000 tweets per second. ABC Family's mystery-drenched teen drama "Pretty Little Liars," viral-video sensation Rebecca Black, the Super Bowl and Charlie Sheen, with his penchant for #tigerblood, all made Twitter's list of hot topics and hashtags for the year.

Beyoncé surprised everyone on August 28 when she revealed at the MTV VMAs that she and her hubby, Jay-Z, were expecting their first child. She first teased the announcement to photographers on the VMA black carpet, where she appeared decked out in an orange gown, touching her bump. But the big reveal took place during her performance of "Love on Top": At the end of the song, B dropped her mic, unbuttoned her jacket and put her belly on full display.

"Thor," "The Dark Knight Rises," "X-Men: First Class," "Fast Five" and "Green Hornet" all made the Year in Review list in the movies category. The top five actresses on Twitter in 2011 were Elizabeth Taylor (who died earlier this year), Mila Kunis, Anne Hathaway, Raven-Symoné and Natalie Portman.

Charlie Sheen topped the actors' list, where he's joined by Macaulay Culkin, "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn (who died over the summer), Ricky Gervais and late actor Pete Postlethwaite. Dunn spent more than a decade on MTV as part of the popular stunt show. He was killed in a car accident in Pennsylvania on June 20, and the outpouring of grief for the 34-year-old in the wake of the shocking news was overwhelming. He was remembered by friends like Johnny Knoxville, Dave England, Tom Green and his longtime pal Bam Margera.

Rebecca Black and "Friday," the late singer Nate Dogg, the Britney Spears album Femme Fatale, Gerry Rafferty and Gil Scott-Heron topped the music-related list. In TV, "Pretty Little Liars," "Two and a Half Men," "The Craigslist Killer," the Golden Globe Awards and the People's Choice Awards all made the cut.

The top five hashtags covered a variety of topics ranging from world news to pop culture moments: #egypt, #tigerblood, #threewordstoliveby, #idontunderstandwhy and #japan all had people talking in 2011.

Britney Spears Experts Debate Elite Eight Videos

Celebuzz's Amber James makes a case for 'Slave 4 U' in MTV News' Britney Spears Tournament: 30 Videos for 30 Years.
By Christina Garibaldi

We are down to the Elite Eight in our Britney Spears Tournament: 30 Videos for 30 Years. The competition has already had some shocking eliminations in the second round, including the iconic " ... Baby One More Time" and "Oops! I Did It Again" videos.

Round three is open for voting, and there will no doubt be some surprising eliminations leading us to the Final Four, which will be announced Wednesday. The matchups are tight in round three, with "Me Against the Music" holding a slight edge over "Hold It Against Me," with 51 percent of the votes. "Till the World Ends" is starting to take a more commanding lead with 55 percent of the votes over "Lucky," which barely made it through to the second round with a late win against "Everytime."

"Criminal" and "Stronger" are neck-and-neck in the competition, with "Criminal" having less than a 1 percent lead. Could Britney herself have given "Criminal" a helping hand during this competition? The pop star, who stars with boyfriend Jason Trawick in the steamy clip, recently tweeted, "Which video do you think is gonna win it all on @MTV's bracket? I know which one Jason is rooting for!!"


Head over to Britney30.MTV.com and vote for your favorite music video in MTV News' Britney Spears Tournament: 30 Videos for 30 Years.

Looking to be the most intense matchup of the competition is "Toxic" vs. "Slave 4 U." "Slave" currently has the lead with 52 percent of the votes over "Toxic." Both are huge videos for the pop star, but for Celebuzz's Amber James, "Slave" just might take the title as the Best Britney Video of All Time.

"I love 'Slave 4 U,' " James told MTV News. "That's when she started to push her image. Then she did the [2001 Video Music Awards] performance with the snake, and I think people associate those two things. It was a sexy video, there is no denying that."

Round three is open for voting until Wednesday at 7 a.m. The Final Four will be announced and open for voting soon after.

What's your favorite Britney video? Make sure to vote at Britney30.MTV.com or the MTV Newsroom blog, and share your picks in the comments below!

Taylor Swift "Ours" Music Video: Watch Now!


Taylor Swift has come out with the official video for her fifth track of the platinum album, "Speak Now."

The superstar has said she had a "very definitive" vision for what she wanted to do with "Ours," and director Declan Whitebloom was all too happy to abide by the advice of the singer/songewriter, he told E! News:

"When Taylor says, 'I've got an idea,' you listen to what she's gonna say. And so I did, and it was a great idea - and I loved it!"

Taylor Swift, Ours

In the video, Swift takes on the role of an office worker having a no good, terrible, very bad day... until she remember that there's a special someone on whom she can count. And he's played by former Friday Night Lights quarterback Zach Gilford! Watch it below:

Justin Bieber Should 'Stay Strong,' Usher Says

'All of this comes with the territory,' Ush tells MTV News of paternity-suit drama.
By Jocelyn Vena

Usher might not have known how big Justin Bieber would become when he discovered him a few years back, but he was pretty sure he had found something special.

Since Bieber burst on the scene with his My World EP back in 2009, the 17-year-old has grown up with the world watching. He's gone from up-and-comer to full-fledged pop sensation, racking up chart-topping albums and a box-office hit and becoming an all-around mega-heartthrob — all in two years.

Of course, with the good does come negative attention as well. Recently, Bieber was hit with a paternity lawsuit, which has since been dropped.

Usher, no stranger to his own controversies, had these words for the Biebs: "Stay strong. And know that all of this comes with the territory."

Aside from the drama, Usher is especially proud of Bieber's charitable side. His mentor said he "absolutely" knew the kid from Stratford, Ontario, had a big heart from the start.

"To write a check is only half of it, but when you truly take on a responsibility to be a philanthropist, you accept an effort, and I really think that Pencils of Promise is something that has a very bright future," Usher told MTV News at an event for the charity, noting that Bieber is a only a small part of it.

Usher — who appears on Bieber's new Christmas album, Under the Mistletoe — gives credit to the folks surrounding the teen superstar, including manager Scooter Braun. "Just judging from the determination and the will power of the entire team around Justin, I see a very, very promising [future] for him as a philanthropist," Usher said.

'Breaking Dawn' Bridal Gown 'Moved' Kristen Stewart

'I was very flattered I was asked to do it,' designer Carolina Herrera tells MTV News of Stephenie Meyer's personal request.
By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz

Of all the big reveals in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" that don't involve the words "sex" and "scene," fans are dying to see Bella's wedding dress.

It's been one of the most closely guarded film secrets in recent memory, and rightly so, according to author Stephenie Meyer, who told us the key ingredient to the wedding scene was Kristen Stewart looking "gorgeous" and "unbelievable" in that dress. Thankfully, come Friday, the secret will officially be out.

MTV News was lucky enough to get a few details about said dress from legendary fashion designer Carolina Herrera at the film's premiere Monday night, as she led us through the process for how she ended up with the coveted task. "I was called by Stephenie Meyer. We had to discuss a lot, but I was very inspired by her book and the description of the wedding," Herrera said. "I was very flattered I was asked to do it; it's a big scene for me."

Herrera said she loves the romance and the idea of true love as depicted in the book and that she was happy to be a part of such a magical scene. She also spoke to the importance and delicacy in designing wedding dresses in general.

"Wedding dresses are different, because you have to know that it's the most important day in the life of a woman," she said. "You have to please the bride first of all, and it has to be a secret. I cannot talk about the dress before the groom sees it. I treated [Kristen Stewart's Bella] like every other bride," she admitted. "I think [Stewart] was very moved when she tried it on. And that means a lot, because she felt that it was the right one."

Given her pleasant experience with the film's wedding dress, might Herrera consider designing something for Stewart in real life? "Why not? If she asked me, absolutely," Herrera said with a smile, but added that Stewart doesn't need to by styled by anyone. "She knows exactly what she wants to wear. ... You can wear anything at21. You don't need any advice. When you are Kristen Stewart, you can wear whatever you want."

Kate Middleton Pregnant? Denmark Trip Sparks Rumor


Is Kate Middleton pregnant? The Duchess has ignited speculation that she is expecting once again after a visit to a UNICEF distribution center in Copenhagen, Denmark.

With Prince William at her side, Kate avoided a certain food product as they sampled items from UNICEF aid packages sent to famine-stricken East African countries.

While members of the Danish royal family and William tasted peanut paste, Kate politely refused and reportedly gave her husband of six months a knowing look.

Kate Middleton, Prince William Image

Doctors have frequently recommended pregnant women avoid peanuts and byproducts while expecting in order to help prevent allergies in their babies-to-be.

What's more, The Palace itself even "went out of their way to stress that she has no nut allergy whatsoever," an editor for Britain's The Sun told ABC News.

Whenever William and Kate Middleton welcome their first child, he or she will inherit the throne. The rules were changed to allow a first-born daughter to rule.

If they have a girl first, that is. The UK monarchy recently agreed that a first-born girl should be able to ascend the throne even if she has younger brothers.

Still, pregnancy speculation or not, Middleton is certainly not displaying any bump just yet; Britain's Best Dressed was slim and stylish as ever in Denmark.

Congratulations ... maybe!

The X Factor Recap: The Top 12 Perform (Photos & Video)

The Top 12 performed on The X Factor last night. Did you vote? Who brought it and who was less than stellar? Recap is below, complete with photos and videos of their performances. Here’s what went down last night. Let’s start out with the Groups, mentored by Paula. Stereo Hogzz: They were the first to perform and while the audience went crazy for them, I was not totally impressed. Something was off with them. Imagine my surprise when Simon gushed about them, saying that there wasn’t a band out there right now ‘who’s as good as you’. Um, really? Lakoda Rayne: These girls are in jeopardy of going home. Their ‘Landslide’ performance was bo-ring. Their dresses looked more like they were competing in the evening gown competition during the Miss USA pageant. Even Simon hated what they were wearing. I will not be surprised if they get the boot. InTENsity: Energy! But these are kids, so they should have lots of it, right? They did a great job, looking quite Glee-esque. Filipina singer Ellona Santiago has some major vocals, doesn’t she? L.A. Reid thought they were ‘fun, fun, fun’ and Nicole described their performance as ‘funtastic’. *rolling eyes*. The Over [...]

'Breaking Dawn' Director Explains Revisiting 'Twilight' Ballad

'Flightless Bird, American Mouth' was 'such a great powerful, romantic song for those characters,' Bill Condon says of Iron & Wine tune.
By Amy Wilkinson, with reporting by Josh Horowitz

Fans of the original "Twilight" soundtrack got a pleasant surprise when the recently released track list for "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" revealed that Iron & Wine's melancholy ballad "Flightless Bird, American Mouth (Wedding Version)" was among the cuts.

Twilighters — who are no doubt gearing up for Thursday's "MTV First" with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner at 7:56 p.m. on MTV and MTV.com — will recall that the song made its "Saga" debut in the closing moments of "Twilight" as Bella and Edward shared their first dance. And according to "Breaking Dawn" director Bill Condon, the retread of this memorable number was an important reference for him to make.

"I always thought of this movie as the bookend to the first movie, and that was such a great powerful, romantic song for those characters," he told MTV News during a phone interview last week. "It just felt right to kind of refer back to it at this important, important moment," he added about "Breaking Dawn - Part 1," the first of the two-part finale.

Of course, Condon wouldn't reveal exactly which important moment this song will accompany in the November 18 film, leaving fans to wonder whether its delicate strains will find their way into the wedding itself or perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Cullen's first dance as man and wife.

Condon did divulge, however, that the song is just one of many callbacks to earlier "Twilight Saga" films.

"[There are] quite a few," he confirmed. "Musically, I would say at the wedding there's a jazz quartet that plays a couple of tracks from 'Eclipse.' Carter Burwell has come back to do the score. He did the first movie, so 'Bella's Lullaby' features in this movie too."

Moral of the story: Keep your eyes and ears peeled for touching tributes to "Breaking Dawn" predecessors.

Be sure to tune in to "MTV First: Breaking Dawn - Part 1," which kicks off Thursday, November 3, on MTV at 7:56 p.m. ET, followed by a Q&A with Kristen, Rob and Taylor on MTV.com!

Justin Timberlake's 'In Time' & 10 Other Extremely Confusing Movie Premises

Originally, Justin Timberlake's new sci-fi action flick was called "Now." Apparently, though, that title didn't effectively communicate what the movie was all about, which isn't exactly surprising because what the movie, now called "In Time," is all about is kinda high-concept and confusing.

Kesha has joined forces with the Human Rights Campaign to help celebrate National Coming Out Day on Tuesday (October 11).

The pop singer created a special message T-shirt, featuring a purple zebra, that proclaims "We R Who We R," the title of her hit anthem about individuality. The shirts sell for $35, with all proceeds supporting the HRC's work to achieve equality for the LGBT community.

According to the HRC website, only 1,000 shirts will be produced.

Others are also using the day to bring awareness to LGBT issues. Several notable celebrities will be honored by the Equality Forum, which is hosting an event and profiling notable LGBT members in pop culture.

As LGBT History Month rolls on throughout October, Ricky Martin, Wanda Sykes, "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy and Pedro Zamora, a former "The Real World" castmember turned AIDS activist, all will be profiled by the organization.

"We're the only minority worldwide that's not taught history at home, in school or religious institutions," said Malcolm Lazin, Equality Forum's founder and executive director. "Like every group that's been marginalized, it really helps to make the case why we should take real pride in ourselves and our community."

Since launching the program five years ago, over 200 icons have been profiled, including Jane Lynch, Lady Gaga and Neil Patrick Harris. Lazin called LGBT month "empowering and life affirming."

The message comes amid increased awareness about young people being bullied, including MTV's A Thin Line campaign. The MTV film "DISconnected," which premiered Monday night, focuses on issues in a world where technology controls personal lives.

"I see the viciousness of people every day," said "Jersey Shore" star Vinny Guadagnino on the "DISconnected" after show. "I kind of want to be a soldier in the field, so to speak, and try to combat the negativity with a positive message. I want to help open people's eyes up, like this movie does, to the negativity."

Justin Bieber's Next Album Inspired By Justin Timberlake

'I'm trying to create a new sound,' Bieber tells MTV News about follow-up to My World 2.0, due 'early next year.'

It seems sort of odd to talk about Justin Bieber's next album, given that his new album — the holiday-riffic Under the Mistletoe — doesn't hit stores until November 1.

But, when MTV News caught up with Bieber this past weekend in Santiago, Chile — where he was wrapping up his two-year My World Tour in record-setting fashion — he was more than ready to start discussing the follow-up to his massive My World 2.0 album, mostly because he's been hard at work on it for a while now, and the finish line is definitely in sight.

"What's happening is: get off this tour, and then my [holiday] album's coming out, so I have to go back out and promote that album ... and then after that ... it's almost time for my next album, so then everything starts over again," Bieber told us. "We've already started [working on it], but we're going to be going in every day and working with new people and trying to find the best sound, because I'm going to be recording different styles, different things until I find a solid 15 songs that I love. ... I'm going to be recording as many songs as I possibly can."

As for the release date for the new album, Bieber doesn't know specifics just yet, but he promised it'll be out "soon ... early next year." For fans seeking a sneak peek at the next step in his musical evolution, they've only got to check out his recent remix of Drake's "Trust Issues."

"I loved the song; I thought it was a dope song. I actually cover it in my concert," he said. "I'm going to mature; I'm going to evolve. I don't feel like I'm going to do it too fast or too slow: I'm going to do it at the pace that I feel comfortable doing it."

Of course, that's just one direction he's hoping to head in. Because, first and foremost, Bieber said that on his next album, he's looking to create something entirely new, while still maintaining a connection to his past.

"I'm trying to create a new sound that people aren't really used to hearing, so it might sound weird at first, but it's going to be like when Justin Timberlake did FutureSex/LoveSounds: It was a new sound ... acoustic guitar over hard drums," he explained. "I want to find something that's going to suit me and my fans are going to love and older people will like and younger people will like. But I'm always trying to keep my core fanbase, because the young people are what make everything cool. Old people look to young people, so trying to keep everyone happy."
