Russell Brand Will Host 2012 MTV Movie Awards


Actor, comedian and two-time Video Music Awards emcee Russell Brand will be your host for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards when they air live from the Gibson Amphitheatre on Sunday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
The star of the upcoming film "Rock of Ages" will lead the fan-voted awards, which celebrate the year's biggest films.
"MTV Movie Awards incorporates two of my favorite things. Movies and Awards. If somehow group sex could be involved it would be the greatest night of my life," Russell Brand said of his hosting gig.

Jesse Ignjatovic, the executive producer for the show, spoke with MTV News about Brand and why he was a clear choice as host. "First of all, I think Russell's the perfect host for this show," said Ignjatovic, who previously worked with Brand during his two stints hosting the VMAs. "He's a movie star. He's probably one of the most brilliant stand-ups that I've seen in his time, and he's a rock star."
And it's that rock-and-roll attitude that Ignjatovic said will play an important role in this year's show, which will highlight the ties between music and film with performances from groups like Fun.
Ignjatovic added that Brand's ability to riff off the unscripted moments in the show really excites him. "Whatever we end up creating around him within the show, he brings that danger thing as well," Ignjatovic said. "We'd love for the show to live there, where you don't know how he's going to react to something in the moment. He's so sharp and witty and on his game that that's an exciting place to live."
But when it really comes down to it, what makes Brand the right host, according to Ignjatovic, is his comedy.
"He has amazing comedic chops. He's brilliant. He touches all of the areas that I think are important to us," he said. "Add to that I think he's one of the most professional people I've worked with in terms of comedians. He's well-studied and very dedicated to his craft. I think we're very fortunate that he said 'yes.' "

Madonna Celebrates #1 Album With Surprise Party Backstage At Tour Rehearsals




From the looks of things, everyone was in high spirits with balloons filling what looks like a backstage area full of sound equipment and plenty of champagne to go around.
"Guy, I'm going to give this to you, for real," Madonna says as she slices a piece of cake for her manager. But, like a just-married couple, Her Madgesty won't just let him have his cake and eat it too. She promptly smashes it into his face, saying, "That's for making me work so hard, mother**ker!"

The Artist

Hollywood, 1927: As silent movie star George Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he sparks with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break. Even though it hasn't got colors, its worth watching it.

White Stripes- Seven nation army


I'm gonna fight 'em off 
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking they're time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at nights because
I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind behind
a cigarette
And a message coming from my eyes says
leave it alone...
Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds
of Hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear,
but that's what I'll do
And a feeling coming from my bones says
find a home...
I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera, forever more
I'm going to work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm pleading and I'm pleading
and I'm pleading, right before the Lord
All the words are going to bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood
tell me go back home...

Famous words

When the power of love, overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
Jimi Hendrix

Everyone talks about rock these days, the problem is they forget about the roll.
Keith Richards

Rock is so much fun. That's what it's all about; filling up the chest cavities and empty kneecaps and elbows.
Jimi Hendrix

Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, nirvana means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world. And that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock.
Kurt Cobain

Videos destroyed the vitality of rock and roll. Before that, music said: Listen to me. Now it says: Look at me.
Billy Joel


Onstage, I make love to 25000 people, then I go home alone.
Janis Joplin


I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.
Elvis Presley


The worst crime is faking it.
Kurt Cobain


Women are like modern paintings. You can't enjoy them, if you try to understand them.
Freddie Mercury
