Justin Bieber Writes Song About Paternity Scandal
'I wrote about that situation,' singer admits during an album listening session Tuesday.
By James Dinh
<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> isn't leaving behind last year's paternity scandal until he shares his two cents on the allegation — musically, at least. </P><P> </P><P>Just a day after his <a href="/news/articles/1683621/justin-bieber-paternity-accuser-message.jhtml">Twitter jab at 20-year-old Mariah Yeater</a>, the pop superstar held a listening session for his new album, <i>Believe,</i> and revealed that the paternity case is just one of many subject matters he covered on the project. </P><P> </P><P>According to the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/17823463" target="_blank">BBC</a>, Bieber said his inspirations included "that girl — Mariah Yeater — who said she was going to have my baby," adding: "I wrote about that situation." </P><P> </P><P>When asked to choose his favorite song on the <a href="/news/articles/1683335/justin-bieber-believe-the-voice.jhtml">June 19 release</a>, Bieber struggled to answer. "Every song has a piece of me; it's hard to pick," he said. "I wrote almost all of them or co-wrote them." </P><P> </P><P>Yeater definitely played a big part in Bieber's 2011. The California woman kept the singer at the top of the headlines when she <a href="/news/articles/1674791/justin-bieber-paternity-test.jhtml">alleged he was the father</a> of her then-3-month-old child. </P><P> </P><P>Bieber's baby-mama-drama track is just one of 40 songs he's recorded for the LP, which also reportedly features collaborations with Taylor Swift, Ludacris and Kanye West. </P><P> </P><P>In another interview during his promotional blitz, the singer dished details about his duet with Drake, even revealing the title of the star-studded track. "The song's called 'Right Here' and it's a smash!" he told <a href="http://www.capitalfm.com/artists/justin-bieber/news/drake-right-here/" target="_blank">Capital FM</a>. "People are gonna love it. It just rides so smoothly." </P><P> </P><P>Two acts Beliebers won't see on the album are One Direction and the Wanted, as the star denied rumors of hitting the studio with the teen heartthrobs. </P><P> </P><P><i>What do you think Justin's album is going to sound like?

HGTV, LA and Dining Room Tables
I've been watching a lot of HGTV since coming to LA. My favorite shows are House Hunters and House Hunters International. There's also another show I like to watch called For Rent, but only because it makes me angry.
When it comes to apartments/homes, I think living in New York for the past eleven years has made me bitter because there was this whiny broad on For Rent a few nights ago who was looking at a huge place—A HUGE PLACE—and was like, "There's no place for a dining room table..."
B*TCH, YOU'RE LUCKY TO GET A KITCHEN IN NEW YORK.
I hated her.
Now there's some stupid lady on House Hunters who wants a townhouse with a fireplace that she can turn on with a light switch. IT HAS TO BE A LIGHT SWITCH because she doesn't want to bend down and flip a switch on the floor.
WHO DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE?
Anyway, I know my LA update is WAY overdue (and truth be told I wrote a long one last week but for some reason it didn't save so I lost the whole thing and I was so angry that I just said, "Ah, f*ck it," and closed the computer instead of rewriting) but to give you a quick update, I AM SO HAPPY HERE. I MEAN, I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY. And I think living here and watching HGTV—both of these things combined—has made me realize that New York was just beating me down. I mean, the fireplace lady—yes, she's an idiot. But there's nothing wrong with wanting a dining room table. Why did I get so mad at that lady?
Since being here, at least once a day I ask myself why I have lived in New York for so long. (It's like I had Stockholm Syndrome or something.) CALIFORNIA IS AWESOME. It's like the promised land. It's sunny all the time and there are birds and flowers everywhere. I have space out here. I have a sofa on the patio out here. I HAVE A SOFA OUTSIDE. I haven't seen one rat since I've been here. But hummingbirds? THEY ZIP BY MY HEAD EVERY DAY. I am so happy.
I'm supposed to go back to New York in November, but truth be told, I'm not sure I will.

'Raven' Star John Cusack On Becoming Poe: There's An App For That
Actor opens up about the challenges of getting into the tortured mind of Edgar Allan Poe.
By Matt Goodhue, with reporting by Kara Warner

It goes without saying that in order to achieve an impressive onscreen performance, an actor must enter into the mind, body, and environment of the character he or she is portraying. While fictionalized characters require imagination and innovation, historical figures depend on research and character study. And few historical individuals are more dark, complex and mysterious than Edgar Allan Poe.
MTV News recently spoke with veteran thespian John Cusack, who portrays the legendary poet and storyteller in the upcoming film "The Raven", and asked what it takes to really enter into the world of such a puzzling man.
"It's like an app, right? Like on your phone, 'Go to Darkness.' You press the Poe app," Cusack joked.
"That's sort of how the psyche works, too, in a way," he clarified. "So, I think you just try to activate it and bring it to life."
So, how did Cusack bring it to life? On top of reading Poe's works and studied his biography, healso tried to tap into his emotions.
"If you think of movies like in a dream language, then there's kind of a dream logic to it," Cusack said. "And then you just follow the feelings. You use the feelings, I think that's what it is."
"The Raven" hits theaters April 27, so fans of Poe and his stories will soon discover how Cusack brings the horror-writer back to life.
Check out everything we've got on "The Raven."

Original 'Joe Millionaire' Is Sorry for Being a "Douche"
Remember Evan Marriott, a.k.a. Joe Millionaire? The original star of the 2003 Fox reality hit, Marriott was a very handsome construction worker masquerading as an eligible millionaire; the audience knew his secret, but the women in the Bachelor-style competition did not. After the season ended, Marriott got a little drunk with his newfound fame, telling People that he didn't like any of the girls on the show (including the one he chose) -- and that all he wanted was a "blonde with big boobs, a little waist and a big, thick bubble butt."

Britney Spears' Fiance Granted Legal Control Of Singer

Britney Spears' fiancé, Jason Trawick, has been granted his wish to become her co-conservator. The talent agent's request was approved by a Los Angeles judge Wednesday (April 25).
Spears' former agent-turned-paramour petitioned the Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this month to become the pop star's co-conservator. He will share the responsibility with Spears' father, Jamie Spears, who has maintained legal control of his daughter since February 2008.
According to People magazine, Spears' father is delighted with the court's decision. "Jamie's thrilled," attorney Geraldine Wyle told reporters following the hearing, referring to Spears' father. "It's all in the family."
Wyle also made a point to clarify the fact that the request to add Trawick as co-conservator came at Britney's request, not her father's. The 41-year-old will not have control of Spears' multimillion-dollar estate or career but will share responsibility with Jamie Spears for the singer's "general well-being," including decisions regarding food, clothing and medical care.
Jamie Spears took steps to gain legal control over his daughter's affairs in 2008 following a spate of increasingly erratic behavior that culminated in Britney's brief stay at UCLA Medical Center. In the years since, Spears has appeared to get her life solidly back on track, releasing two multiplatinum albums, launching two successful world tours and regaining custody of her young sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
The current status of Spears' conservatorship is reportedly more of a "formality" than anything else.
Trawick, Spears' former agent and co-star in her "Criminal" video, proposed to Spears in December on his 40th birthday with a four-carat diamond ring designed by Neil Lane.

Lane Garrison: Cleared in Domestic Violence Probe
Lane Garrison has dodged a bullet and won't be charged for allegedly beating his ex-girlfriend, Playboy Playmate Ashley Mattingly, according to reports.
Garrison was arrested last weekend after an altercation with Mattingly in the lobby of her apartment complex in Beverly Hills, and he remains in jail.
The former Prison Break star isn't eligible for bail because he is still on parole for vehicular manslaughter, which was supposed to end this Saturday.
Right now, it looks like he'll soon be in the clear on all accounts.
"The District Attorney has decided not to charge Lane because they didn't have sufficient evidence to prove that he hit Ashley," said a police source.
Even though the entire incident was caught on surveillance video, Lane gave an exhaustive interview to detectives and denied ever hitting Ashley.
"Lane contends that he never hit Ashley, it's just not who he is," said the source, adding that he was simply trying to get his phone away from her.
If you watch the tape closely, Lane's explanation is plausible, and he was apparently very convincing during long sit-downs with police detectives.
For his future, that's a very good thing.
Frog Sits on Bench Like a Person, Reflects on Life
A video of a frog sitting on a bench as a human would has become all the rage online. It sort of speaks for itself. Is he waiting for a bus? Taking a lunch break? Contemplating his place in the universe? It's all very much unclear.
According to reports, the clip was shot serendipitously and wasn't staged. Moments after the video ended, the un-coerced critter jumped off the bench and hopped away into the water, where it hopefully found whatever it sought in life.
Enjoy the 43 seconds of weird awesomeness below:

Lane Garrison on Surveillance Video Slap: Deceiving!
Lane Garrison, who was arrested for domestic violence on Saturday, says the surveillance video of him apparently slapping his ex proves ... that he did not.
Lawyers.
The actor and his ex-girlfriend got into a verbal argument that turned physical and the surveillance video (below) showed what appears to be Lane Garrison slapping Ashley Mattingly's face hard, which he told cops never happened.
He still says that, and here's why:
Lane told Beverly Hills detectives that what really happened was Ashley grabbing his phone and him reaching to grab it back from her. No slap at all.
Lane says he ended up grabbing Ashley Mattingly's cell phone, not his own ... and that's when she threw his phone against the wall and smashed the thing.
He says when he walked out, he childishly threw her phone in retaliation. If you look at the video closely, Lane Garrison's scenario is at least plausible.
He also claims he has text messages from Ashley that are incriminating and that she didn't want him disclosing - hence the freakout over the phone.
Garrison, who is still on parole for his manslaughter DUI conviction, is still being held in connection with this case and a possible parole violation.

Blake Lively, Taylor Kitsch Are 'Savages' In Oliver Stone's Latest
'She is beautiful and she is sexy. She is hot,' legendary filmmaker says of Lively's performance in his summer flick, out July 6.
By Josh Horowitz

When Oliver Stone releases a film, you'd better sit up and take notice. Whether he's tackling the Vietnam War (as he did in a trilogy of films: "Platoon," "Born on the Fourth of July" and "Heaven & Earth"), presidential scandals (another trilogy: "JFK," "Nixon" and "W.") or pulpy genre violence ("Natural Born Killers," "U-Turn"), you can be sure he'll give an audience member something to chew on. So when Stone signs on to direct some of the hottest young actors in Hollywood (Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively, Aaron Johnson) in a tale of sex, drugs and violence, yeah, we're interested.
MTV News caught up with Stone to talk about his first legitimate summer release, "Savages" (set for a July 6 release), his distaste for most summer popcorn films and his upcoming gargantuan take on nothing less than the history of the United States.
MTV: The release date of "Savages" was shifted quite a bit. It's now being released in the middle of a very competitive summer. Were you happy with that decision?
Oliver Stone: I've never done a summer movie, believe it or not. Except for "Natural Born Killers," but that was August, late summer. This is my first time out there in the big leagues. So I'm excited in a way.
MTV: Do you think "Savages" will play well for that younger summer audience?
Stone: I think it plays well. I don't know that it would play completely to the "Hunger Games" crowd because we have a different kind of sexuality and the take on violence is real for us. It's fun and exciting. It's a wild ride. You don't know what's going to happen. I think the unpredictability is what makes it work.
MTV: Can you give me a sense of the relationship at the heart of the story between the characters played by Blake, Taylor and Aaron.
Stone: They are all friends and they believe in free love, and they happen to be growing some grass. One of them [Johnson] is doing good around the world. The other one [Kitsch] is an Afghanistan and Iraq veteran who's his best buddy from school; they have a partnership. The girl [Lively] is from Laguna. They met on the beach, basically.
MTV: It sounds like just about every hot young actor was in the running for these roles.
Stone: I met with every pot dealer I could. [Laughs] For the girl, I had to meet a few of the younger newcomers because I did not know who they were. I saw [Blake's] work and I was very impressed with "[The Private Live of] Pippa Lee." And she was very strong in "The Town." I think people that know her from "Gossip Girl" will be surprised. She is beautiful and she is sexy. She is hot. That's what a lot of fans would say about her.
MTV: Has "Savages" received a rating yet?
Stone: We got a hard R. It's an intense movie but it's a different style than "Natural Born Killers." It has a lush look. It has some of that sun-drenched romanticism that I like. It's not just action, it is also romantic.
MTV: "Savages" will be surrounded by some big summer blockbusters. You've managed to avoid tentpole movies, though you did almost direct a "Mission: Impossible" at one point.
Stone: Well, we tried to make a "Mission" at that time, which was ahead of its time in terms of the story. I looked at it as a vehicle that was supersmart. [But] they could never pick a script. With "Mission: Impossible," you have to hit these beats all the time.
MTV: It sounds like it's not a regret for you.
Stone: It's all steroids now. I mean "Iron Man 2" is unwatchable, as is "Transformers 2." It's not my kind of moviemaking. "Savages" is a different kind of movie. It's realistic and at the same time it has a bit of that summer pop feel.
MTV: What's the status of your TV series, "The Untold History of the United States"?
Stone: That one's a bitch. It's a bitch in my butt.
MTV: It will begin airing on Showtime in November?
Stone: Yeah, we will make that for sure, but there are so many factors and fact checking. It's a lot of work. It's 21 hours and each hour has to work like a movie. I'm dealing with an important issue to me. That's a legacy for me. Something that matters. It may not matter to most people, but it does matter to me. This is a perception of our time that is completely different from what we're hearing in magazines and in our newspapers. We deal with all types of things, such as the nature of the atomic bomb, why was it used, why it should not have been used. It's all kinds of stuff. Reagan's legacy, our national security state, we go after all of it.
MTV: Do you narrate it?
Stone: Yes, I narrate it as well.
Check out Oliver Stone's "Savages" in theaters July 6, and "The Untold History of the United States" on Showtime in November.
It's Summer Movie Preview Week, and MTV News will be bringing you exclusive interviews, clips and photos for the most anticipated summer movies. Get ready to gorge on inside looks at "The Avengers," Robert Pattinson's "Bel Ami," Kristen Stewart's "Snow White," "The Amazing Spider-Man" and more!
