  2. Robin Thicke's new album, 'Blurred Lines,' celebrates plasticine funk and warbly bass. <br/><br/>The summer of progressive disco continues as the vibe of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" and the souped-up pop of Justin Timberlake converge in R&B singer Robin Thicke's curvy, ripe new album "Blurred Lines." Seething with sex, come-on cockiness and more testosterone per measure than a Keith Sweat jam, "Blurred Lines" is a celebration of plasticine funk, warbly bass and plump booties.[img]http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PopHiss/~4/u3WHe9YAfV0[/img] [url=http://feeds.latimes.com/~r/PopHiss/~3/u3WHe9YAfV0/la-et-0730-pop-reviews-20130730,0,2746670.story]View the full article[/url]

  10. [img]http://moviesblog.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/movies/2013/04/Lone-Ranger-Depp-Banner.jpg[/img] Everyone is making a big deal about comments that Johnny Depp made in an interview with the BBC about his career. From the sound of it, he has a very rational explanation for why he doesn't see himself acting for much longer. "At a certain point, you know, you start thinking when you add up the amount of dialogue that you say per year and you realize you've said written words more than you actually had a chance to say your own words, you start thinking of that as an insane option for a human being. Is Johnny Depp retiring? He's certainly making another "Pirates of the Caribbean," as well as another "Alice in Wonderland," and he's definitely not the first actor in recent memory to start talking about stepping out of the spotlight. So we thought we'd check up on a few recent retirees to see what they're up to. [img]http://moviesblog.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/movies/2012/06/Jolie-Maleficent.jpg[/img] [b]Angelina Jolie[/b] Last year, Jolie told Channel 4 that she plans on retiring from acting when her children hit their teenage years, saying it would be "too much to manage at home." Little Maddox will turn 13 next year, so the deadline is quickly approaching, but 2014 is looking pretty full. Jolie stars in "Maleficent," due out in July, and her second directorial effort, "Unbroken," hits in December. [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/3599eb3450f169018d68e78330035381/tumblr_mm02m77CcM1ru1bhto1_500.gif[/img] [b]Amanda Bynes[/b] Just one month after retiring from acting in 2011, the former child star tweed "i've unretired." The unretirement unfortunately didn't do much for Byne's career. Her last film was 2010's "Easy A," one of the movies responsible for launching Emma Stone in superstardom. [img]http://moviesblog.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/movies/2012/05/Gosling-Only-God-Forgives.jpg[/img] [b]Ryan Gosling[/b] Though the Gos is currently taking a break from acting to focus on his directorial debut "How to Catch a Monster," the "Drive" actor started discussing a possible retirement all the way back in 2011 when he told [i]The Times[/i] (via [url="http://www.ifc.com/fix/2011/09/ryan-gosling-retirement-rumors"]IFC[/url]), "I don't want to act much longer; I can't do one thing my whole life. I know there are only so many characters I'll be able to play." He doesn't currently have developing acting projects, so this one may stick for a while at least. [img]http://moviesblog.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/movies/2013/05/Robert-Downey-Jr-Iron-Man.jpg[/img] [b]Robert Downey Jr. [/b] During the press cycle for "Iron Man 3," Downey spoke openly, most notably in [url="http://www.gq.com/entertainment/movies-and-tv/201305/robert-downey-jr-profile-may-2013"][i]GQ[/i][/url] about his non-existent contract with Marvel and that it might be the end for his Tony Stark. Shortly thereafter, he signed a contract for "Avengers 2" and "Avengers 3," probably for lots and lots of money. [img]http://mtv.mtvnimages.com/movies/photos/g/good_shepherd_061211/flip-06.jpg?width=600[/img] [b]Brad Pitt[/b] In 2011, Pitt told [i]60 Minutes Australia[/i] that he'd like to return in three years, but the comments were largely interpreted as hypothetical. (We picked [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/11/14/brad-pitt-wants-to-retire/"]his last five projects[/url] for him, if he decided to follow through.) Pitt has dozens of projects developing, mostly through his production company, so we'll see how serious the retirement talk was in the next few years, especially with Jolie talking about the same thing. [b]Joaquin Phoenix[/b] Phoenix's retirement from acting to pursue a rap career is by far the most...entertaining of the bunch. In 2008, he announced that "Two Lovers" would be his final film, before making a bunch of incoherent public appearances. It was all for a mockumentary he was making with Casey Affleck called "I'm Still Here," and then everyone just kind of forgot about it.

  13. By Maurice Bobb It’ll probably be a long time before Amanda Berry fully recovers from her 10-year ordeal as a kidnapping victim, but thanks to Nelly, who brought her onstage at Cleveland’s Roverfest Saturday (July 27) night, she's at least off to a good start. “I can’t even imagine the type of strength and the type of courage that it took to keep it going,” Nelly told Berry as she stood on stage smiling. “For that again I commend you, and I say thank you.” It was Berry’s first public appearance since Ariel Castro was sentenced to life in prison plus 1,000 years and with no possibility of parole for holding her and two other women, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, captive under brutal conditions that included rape in his home. The 27-year old stayed onstage and danced as if she were making up for lost party time as the Country Grammar MC performed “Just a Dream.” Kayleigh Fladung, who was in attendance, told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that “she came out with a friend, another young woman, she didn't say anything, but she was smiling and happy. She waved to the crowd, everyone went crazy cheering, and she went backstage,” he continued. “Nelly did his set, four or five songs, and then he brought her out again and everyone cheered." Berry might also be relieved because she doesn’t have to participate in a grueling trial. Castro accepted a plea bargain deal last week to avoid the death penalty.

  15. By Sowmya Krishnamurthy Rick Ross dropped a new song today, "I Wonder Why," in which he ponders his life. On the track, Ross wonders why his brother is incarcerated and why his ambition continues to push him forward. The MMG honcho also indirectly references slain Trayvon Martin and the incident which led to his death in Rozay's home state of Florida. "Now I'm being followed by some creepy ass cracker," Ross raps, a seemingly thinly-veiled reference to vigilante George Zimmerman following Travyon. "Stand your ground! Stand your ground! You gotta stand your ground!" Ross cries. Zimmerman stood behind Florida's controversial Stand Your Ground law to justify shooting Trayvon since he felt "threatened." When Zimmerman was found "Not Guilty" of murdering Trayvon, the hip-hop community (and most of the nation) was shocked. Rozay and Nicki Minaj sent their love to the murdered teen's family, while other artists like Solange Knowles urged fans to protest. Young Jeezy released a new tribute track "It's A Cold World" as did Wyclef with "Justice (If You're 17)." "He could've been the next president, he could've been the next Steve Jobs," 'Clef muses on the latter. Wyclef, Prodigy, activist Kevin Powell and lawyer Stacey Richman more also joined "RapFix Live" for a special tribute to Trayvon Martin.

  18. By Sowmya Krishnamurthy The battle for the best rapper in Philly rages on. This weekend, Meek Mill dropped a verse on Omelly's "Panamera," which featured several thinly-veiled disses seemingly at fellow rapper Gillie Da Kid. On “Panamera" (a reference to the Porsche car) Meek raps, “Ballin off in Miami I got two of them rings/I’m super rich ya’ll still trippin on who the king….So, you can diss in your raps but when I run into you/It's gon' be 'I didn't say that' or 'I don't want it with you.’” Gillie released his diss track "King Me" directed against Meek a few days earlier. Though indirect, many agree that the song was in response to subliminals Meek threw this month on Twitter about how he was the true king of his town. ""king of Philly" If you got knocked out you ain't the king! Lol who am I then!" he tweeted along with, "And I ain't gone do no back and forth ima b in them Philly streets in the biggest whips you can't miss me fraud!" Gillie himself stepped away from the connection, telling HipHopDX that the song was just a generic diss. "Honestly, bro, the record has been done for maybe close to a month. So really, it's not a Meek Mills diss. It just so happened that it's perfect timing. He, for whatever reason, started talkin' his bullsh-- on the social websites. And you know, I was about to drop 'King Me,' so it was just perfect timing." Meek has had beefs with other Philly rappers in the past. Last year, he and Cassidy had it out but unfortunately, it did not culminate in a rap battle as many fans had expected.

  19. It's official. When "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/511855/moviemain.jhtml"]Star Wars: Episode VII[/url]" returns us to that galaxy far, far away, it will take us back with the familiar themes of John Williams, who will return to score the first film of the new trilogy. A press release and an accompanying video made the announcement over the weekend. Hiring Williams is definitely a good step to getting back the faith of the "Star Wars" diehards that were miffed by the choices George Lucas made with the prequels, but if J.J. Abrams and company really want to bring back the good feelings of the original trilogy, there are a three specific themes that Williams should recreate. Also, click past the jump for a Spotify playlist of William's best "Star Wars" themes. [b]"Binary Sunset"[/b] If this theme makes it into "Episode VII" in the correct way, we're in very good shape. The music originally played as Luke watches the twin suns set over Tatooine and contemplates his future. It's an emotionally important moment that had the appropriate music to heighten it. Its inclusion in "Episode VII" in the same way would mean a doubling down on actual character moments, as opposed to stiff dialogue reading from Hayden Christensen. [b]"Blockade Runner"[/b] Here we go! This is original "Star Wars" at its been. Thrilling, high adventure, always light and fun, but exciting. There are few pieces from Williams that capture that "Star Wars" spirit quite like the blaring horns of "Blockade Runner." Put the fun back in "Star Wars," and set it to this! [b]"Duel of Fates"[/b] Yeah, I know, but Lucasfilm has to appeal to multiple generations of fans here. They're never going to come out right and say "Screw the prequels. Let's go back to how things were," because episodes 1, 2, and 3 were still incredibly lucrative films. "Duel of Fates" is a happy medium because it is part of the prequel trilogy, but it's also the one moment that older fans can point to and say, "Okay, that was actually pretty dope."

  20. (Iggy on her musical evolution) By Rachel Samples Sometimes that extra “Work” pays off. MTV’s Artist to Watch and Australia native Iggy Azalea, is the newest addition to Beyoncé’s Australian tour. The Island Def Jam and Grand Hustle artist will be returning to home for the 17-date tour in October and November, hitting all major cities in Australia alongside Mrs. Carter. She will be bringing her hits, “Work,” “Bounce,” and “Change Your Life” to the main stages and she couldn’t be more excited. On July 28, Azalea tweeted, “I’m going on tour…With beyonce! That was my special news for Australia! Can’t wait to join this tour!” The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour has already made stops on both coasts in the United States, with upcoming shows in Europe and Latin America this year. During a recent performance in Montreal on July 22nd, Beyoncé got her luscious locks stuck in a fan during “Halo,” but the show went on without any hiccup. Azalea will have to keep an eye out for any hairy situations as she teams up with Beyoncé this fall, following the debut of her first album, The New Classic, due out in September.

  21. By Sowmya Krishnamurthy R. Kelly is back with new music. Enlisting some help from 2 Chainz, the Chicago singer drops "My Story," the first single from his forthcoming 12th album Black Panties. Recounting Kellz's rags-to-riches tale, "My Story" features the crooner singing about how he ended up rocking "Versace shirts." R.Kelly premiered the song live at this year’s 2013 BET Awards, shares where he also performed a surprise set with a medley of his most famous hits including "I Wish," "When A Woman's Fed Up" and "Ignition (Remix)." Celebrities in the house like Nicki Minaj and Jamie Foxx enjoyed the trip down memory lane. "R Kelly gave us a quick 10 seconds of straight bangers and he didn't even pull out the trapped in the closet" tweeted the McCourty Twins, while Black Canseco added, "R. Kelly got a catalog... i think that's what he tryna to remind the kiddies." Kellz closed with a short version of his hook to The Notorious B.I.G.'s "F---ing You Tonight." Recently, the singer also performed a lengthy set as headliner of the Pitchfork Music Festival. Vice shared that the self-proclaimed "King of R&B" performed a jaw-dropping 38 songs.

  25. [img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/isohunt-logo.jpg[/img]For more than seven years isoHunt and the MPAA have been battling it out in court, and it’s still not over yet. After the 2010 District Court ruling against the torrent site [url="http://torrentfreak.com/isohunt-loses-appeal-against-the-mpaa-keyword-filter-remains-130321/"]was affirmed[/url] earlier this year, the case now moves towards a trial from which the movie industry hopes to win a substantial sum in statutory damages. Both the MPAA and isoHunt have been back in court during the past few weeks. In a recent hearing MPAA lawyer Steven Fabrizio explained how much compensation they’re aiming for, and how they hope to convince the jury. While the isoHunt case initially listed just 44 copyrighted titles, the MPAA has reserved the right to add more at a later stage, and according to a recent hearing this could increase to some 5,000 titles. “Defendant’s website infringed virtually the entire library of motion pictures and television programs that our clients own. In the damages proceeding, as a matter of practicalities, there would probably be three to 5,000, which is probably substantially less than the tens of thousands that it could be,” Fabrizio told the court. For each of these movies and TV-shows the jury or court then has to pick an appropriate figure for compensation, somewhere between $750 and $150,000. “If this issue goes to the jury, the largest issue in this case — the jury will be charged that they have a range of damages they can award, between $750 per work; and if the court finds that defendant’s conduct is willful — and we believe the court has effectively already found that with your liability findings — the maximum per work is $150,000,” the MPAA’s Fabrizio explains. Once a decision is made in respect of damages, isoHunt will face a bill somewhere between $3,000,000 and $750,000,000, depending on the figure per work reached. These dazzling numbers are not all that unrealistic either, as the MPAA previously won a [url="http://torrentfreak.com/torrentspy-one-year-after-the-shutdown-090324/"]$110 million judgment[/url] against the TorrentSpy site. As the MPAA is talking about statutory damages there is no need to show that the studios suffered any losses. According to the lawyer the high number they’re shooting for is also in part meant to deter others from operating similar sites. “We would argue the defendant’s conduct in this case — as found by Your Honor and affirmed by the Ninth Circuit — is particularly egregious. This was not inadvertent copyright infringement, it was intentional, willful copyright infringement, and that the jury should award an amount of damages that not only will punish defendants but deter defendants and those like him,” Fabrizio told the court. Of course, isoHunt still has to be found guilty. The evidence the MPAA plans to rely on mostly consists of screenshots and the anonymized server logs isoHunt had to turn over in 2007. The movie studios will use this information to show that copyrighted works were downloaded from the site, through .torrent files. “Plaintiffs have 27 days of server data from the Fung Websites showing millions of downloads of dot torrent files. For this data, Plaintiffs simply need to identify the dot torrent files corresponding to their copyrighted works, a straightforward, albeit time-consuming process,” the MPAA says. They hope that the court will then decide that isoHunt is indeed guilty of direct copyright infringement, but isoHunt’s legal team contests that notion. “Plaintiffs ignore the requirement that, in order to prove direct infringement, they must show that ‘United states users either uploaded or downloaded copyrighted works’,” isoHunt’s lawyer informs the court. “Of course, the mere fact that dot-torrent files may have been downloaded by someone, somewhere in the world, is irrelevant to show damages. To show a relevant underlying direct infringement, Plaintiffs must establish that Plaintiffs works at issue were actually downloaded by at least one United States user.” Apart from the location issue, isoHunt’s lawyer further adds that the suggested evidence does not show that the people who downloaded the files actually visited the torrent site. The torrents may have also been downloaded though Google’s search results. The court now has to decide how to move forward, but the MPAA’s comments make it clear that if they have the chance, they will try to get the highest damages award possible. If that does happen then the movie studios won’t rest until isoHunt owner Gary Fung is bankrupt. As the MPAA stated a few years back, they are willing to [url="http://torrentfreak.com/mpaa-will-hunt-down-isohunt-founder-for-life-090713/"]hold a judgment over Fung’s head for the rest of his life[/url]. “If Gary Fung creates a legitimate website, we’ll be there. If he sells that company for $100 million, we’ll be there. For the rest of his life we’ll be able to pursue that judgment,” Fabrizio said.
