Panic At The Disco Talk About New, Stripped-Down Show At NYC Concert, By Jo

Band's new look is also eco-friendly. Panic at the Disco 's Brendon Urie (file) Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images NEW YORK — If Panic at the Disco didn't do a complete 180, musically and aesthetically, with their latest album Pretty. Odd., it was at least a left turn: Beatlesque arrangements, strings, horns, a pastoral vibe and wood-grain-and-flowers artwork that seemed to have come straight from late-'60s San Francisco. So you had to figure that when the Las Vegas four took their show on the road, it would look a good deal different from the circus-tent hijinks of their last go-around — and it does. At New York's Roseland Ballroom this week, their latest stop as headliners of the 2008 Honda Civic Tour, the boys offered up woodsy set pieces, projections of flora and fauna, and mic stands wrapped in lights and flowers — behind which stood the green gentlemen, all decked out in vests (no velvet, thank you very much). "We wanted it to be just us onstage....

Jason Castro Admits He 'Felt Relieved' After Being Kicked Off 'American Ido
2008-05-08 10:09:00
'I would've liked to go farther, but I don't think I could handle it,' dreadlocked singer says.By Katie Byrne Jason Castro Photo: Fox There are always a few contestants we don't hear a peep from during the audition rounds or Hollywood week, and then they disappear before the top 12. But Jason Castro was different. He did his cheesy top-24 dance, dreads flailing about, and we knew "Idol" would never be the same. And it won't be. The 20-year-old from Rockwall, Texas, brought a new audience of "dread-heads" to the show with his goofy demeanor and offbeat song choices. But his unexpectedly long journey on the show came to an end after his forgotten lyrics and odd arrangements during Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night. We caught up with the unique castoff to see how bad he really wanted to win, what he thought of Paula Abdul's misstep last week and why he was relieved to be going home. Q: Simon suggested after the results show Wednesday that you had messed up your lyrics...

Barack Obama Wins North Carolina Primary; Indiana Still Too Close to Call
2008-05-07 18:31:00
Hillary Clinton is ahead in Hoosier State, but CNN awaits results from two counties.By Gil Kaufman Michelle and Barack Obama celebrate his win of North Carolina on Tuesday Photo: Win McNamee/ Getty Images With a convincing win in North Carolina, a rejuvenated Barack Obama handily took the biggest remaining delegate prize in the contentious Democratic nomination fight on Tuesday night. And then things got interesting. With 92 percent of precincts reporting at press time, Hillary Clinton , who early in the night led Obama in Indiana by a wide, double-digit margin, saw her lead plummet to barely two percentage points shortly before midnight ET, as she clung to a 51 to 49 percent lead. Though Clinton had celebrated her Indiana victory hours before, CNN reported that officials in Lake County — a large county in the northern corner of the state on the Illinois border that was expected to go heavily in Obama's favor — held up the reporting of all of the county's vo...

Bruno Carvalho expected to face criminal charges, though 50 reportedly retrieved the chain immediately after incident.By Gil Kaufman 50 Cent performing in Cape Town, South Africa Saturday Photo: Michelly Rall/ WireImage.com The parents of the man who is accused of snatching a necklace from 50 Cent during a G-Unit show in Angola on Wednesday turned their son in to the police on Sunday to face charges in the incident. According to the Angola Press, Bruno Carvalho, whose age was not given, was handed over to police after the widespread footage of the chain grab leaked out over the weekend. Carvalho, who is accused of grabbing the chain during a concert at the Cidadela Pavilion in Luanda, is expected to face criminal charges. In a statement to the Angolan News Agency, Carlos Mota, head of the National Police Analysis, Information and Studies Office, thanked the thief's parents for handing him over to the authorities. The incident occurred during a show that was part of the f...

Game Pays Tribute To His Hip-Hop Inspirations In 'Pain' Video With Keyshia
2008-05-06 14:00:00
'I want nothing more than to be considered among the top, elite MCs,' rapper says of his goal for third LP, L.A.X.By Shaheem Reid, with reporting by Tim Kash Keyshia Cole and the Game in the "Pain " video Photo: Jorge Peniche Through his statements in recent interviews — like the one in last month's XXL magazine, in which he spoke of his suicidal thoughts ("There's some good days, some bad days," he said. "Sometimes I'm beat down by my demons, sometimes I beat down my demons") — you would think the Game made his next LP, L.A.X., with a heavy heart. The ferocious Compton MC said he felt quite the opposite. He told MTV News he made his record "free-spirited," with a "free mind and free conscience." "It's my third album," he said on the L.A. set of his video for "Pain." Keyshia Cole is featured in the clip and on the song. "I dropped the first album, classic. Came back with Doctor's Advocate, classic. [Now] its number three on my road to being a hip-hop leg...

There were no adoring fans wielding signs of support, and as her white Land Rover sped into the adjoining parking garage, the paparazzi, who have built a career on mobbing her, failed to give chase. But a crush of reporters lingered outside the courthouse, awaiting word on what — if anything — would come of the hearing, which got under way shortly after 9:30 a.m., after media were asked to leave the courtroom, following the granting of a motion to close the court. The purpose of the hearing was...

Madonna Talks About Turning 50 -- Sort Of, By John Norris
2008-05-06 10:53:00
'This year has been amazing so far,' singer says. 'That's how I look at 'it.' ' Madonna backstage at the Roseland Ballroom on Wednesday Photo: MTV News Among the repertoire of characters created by the inimitable Molly Shannon, one of my all-time favorites is Sally O'Malley, the spry, irrepressible quinquagenarian who likes to mix it up with the kids, shouting, "I'm 50! 50 years old! I kick! And I stretch! And I kick!" Yes, she does. But alas, Sally doesn't kick, stretch, dance, perform or frankly look quite as good doing it as another woman about to celebrate the big 5-0 on August 16: Madonna. And what a year it's already turning out to be for her. She directed her first feature, "Filth and Wisdom," which, despite an iffy reception at the Berlin Film Festival, has supporters; she produced a documentary on poverty-ravaged Malawi and its orphans — and managed to raise upwards of $3.5 million for the cause at a star-studded Gucci event; and in March she was...

In addition to wrapping a co-headlining tour with Jimmy Eat World, she and her Paramore bandmates are gearing up for a long, hot summer on the festival circuit in the U.S. and Europe, followed by a late-year jaunt with Jack's Mannequin. And then, if all goes according to plan, perhaps the band will record a new album. "Well, [guitarist] Josh [Farro] writes most of the music, so he has got tons of ideas coming on like crazy right now, and it's really inspiring and motivating me," Williams said backstage at "TRL." "So, I started writing to some of the ideas while we were on tour, and hopefully with some time off, I'll be able to focus and spend a lot of time on that.

Beyonce Joins Jay-Z Onstage At NYC Heart Of The City Show

B takes the stage after Jay jokingly disses 'Crazy in Love.'By Shaheem Reid Jay-Z and Beyoncé (file) Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images Jay-Z was voted the greatest MC of all time and Mary J. Blige is the greatest R&B singer of our generation, so when they call themselves "the Heart of the City ," they're really repping Anytown, U.S.A. If you love hip-hop and/or R&B, you've more than likely been enamored with Jigga and MJB at certain points, if not throughout their careers. The box-office receipts are indicating that their fanbases (both individually and collectively) aren't waning. Their joint-headline venture is selling out across the land, and even though the duo played a show in New Jersey several weeks back, on Friday Jay and Mary finally made it to their city, NYC. Who has meant more to the Apple than Jay and Mary? There's a short list of artists that have arguably had just as significant an impact, but a pair who have meant more? That's a tough one. Ja...

Indiana And North Carolina Primaries: What's At Stake For Hillary Clinton,
2008-05-05 14:00:00
Convincing wins by Obama could seal the deal; Clinton has regained momentum after Pennsylvania win.By Gil Kaufman Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton campaign before the North Carolina and Indiana primaries Photo: Joe Raedle and Mark Lyons/Getty Images It's been more than 40 years since Indiana voters have gotten this much love from Democratic presidential candidates. But in a battle for the nomination that nobody predicted would go this far, suddenly the Hoosier State is in play, and Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been hitting up its heartland voters for weeks. Along with North Carolina, which also holds a primary Tuesday, Indiana is among the dwindling reserve of primaries left for the bloodied Democrats to tap as each candidate scraps to get closer to the magic 2,025 delegates needed to sew up the nomination. With 72 delegates (plus 13 superdelegates) at stake in Indiana, and the last big prize of 134 (and 17 superdelegates) available in North Carolina, n...

Justin Timberlake Thinks Miley Cyrus Is A Victim Of 'The Age We Live In'
2008-05-05 14:00:00
'I don't think people her age look at [the photo] the same way their parents do,' JT says.By James Montgomery, with reporting by John Norris Justin Timberlake backstage after performing at New York's Roseland Ballroom with Madonna Wednesday Photo: MTV News Long before he brought sexy back, starred in movies, became best pals with Timbaland or played the role of "the cute one" in 'N Sync, Justin Timberlake was just another cog in the Mickey Mouse money machine, logging two seasons on Disney's "Mickey Mouse Club." He's also spent pretty much every waking minute of his teens and 20s living directly in the spotlight. And in that time he's managed to find himself at the center of at least one significant public controversy ("wardrobe malfunction" anyone?). So, obviously, he can sympathize with the ongoing plight of current Disney star — and public pariah — Miley Cyrus . So when we caught up with JT backstage at New York's Roseland Ballroom (where he'd just...

50 Cent Gets Chain Snatched -- Onstage -- During Show In Africa

MC's official site says it will have more on the matter soon.By Gil Kaufman 50 Cent performs in Cape Town, South Africa , on Saturday Photo: Michelly Rall/WireImage.com 50 Cent may have lost a bit of weight for his latest movie role, but the MC is still a force to be reckoned with. A fan in Angola appears to have learned that lesson the hard way recently when he jumped onstage during a G-Unit show in the African nation and snatched 50's chain from his neck mid-song. On shaky video captured by a fan, an unidentified person can be seen climbing onstage, ripping what appears to be a chain from 50's neck and then jumping back into the crowd. The music stops almost immediately and the crowd can be seen surging back and forth as it appears the culprit is making his way to the back of the venue. On Monday, the matter was addressed on 50's personal Web site, ThisIs50.com: "Recently 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo were performing in Angola, Africa. Being that security was li...

The DIY mentality is thriving as punk bands keep music low-tech.By Christopher "CJ" Smith No Age's Dean Spunt Photo: MTV News The back cover of Rip It Off, the bombastic lo-fi record from the still-fresh-faced Columbus, Ohio, band Times New Viking implores fans to "please play loud" when listening. "Volume is a barometer for how much fun you're having," TNV keyboardist and vocalist Beth Murphy said of the mantra. And if that's to be believed, then these days, there's a big ol' party going on throughout the underground punk-rock scene. From coast to coast across the United States, it seems bands are once again embracing the DIY mentality by heading to their basements or bedrooms and recording under what audiophiles may not consider the best of conditions. "You could buy our sound at Guitar Center," Tyvek frontman Kevin Boyer said, explaining the ease of recording. "Some people are gonna be turned off by the sound on it, but some people are just going to go crazy for t...
