Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.
Please don't forget that you should be using protection while participating in those activities!
Enter Will Ferrell's own special brand of sunscreen. It's got SPF 30, and it's got an image of Will Ferrell's ass on it (plus, it's made in Germany, and you know the Germans always make good stuff -- actually, it's made in the USA, and I doctored that last part), but most importantly, 100% of the proceeds from Will Ferrell's sunscreen goes to Cancer for College, which funds scholarships for cancer survivors.
Come on. Admit you laughed when Brüno's bare ass landed on Eminem's unsuspecting face last night during the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. You laughed a little? Well if you didn't laugh during MTV Movie Awards host Andy Samberg's "cool-guy action heroes blowing stuff up" homage, then you probably need to check your neck for proper blood flow. Or you need to see more movies.
+ Watch the "Explosions" digital short video from the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, featuring Will Ferrell and J.J. Abrams in an AMAZING jacket that may or may not have belonged to Randy Jackson from his Journey days. (Or Kanye West next week.)
It's hard to imagine there was ever a time when Foo Fighters would freak out over hearing their song on the radio. It's not like Dave Grohl was any stranger to musical super-stardom when the band started out -- ever hear of Nirvana?
That's why, watching the clip below, you have to wonder what exactly has Foo Fighters so worked up. Could it be... something... liquid? Who can say?
Return to the year 2000, where Grohl, Taylor Hawkins and Red Hot Chili Peppers' drummer (/Will Ferrell dead-ringer) Chad Smith are introducing an MTV segment from outside a bar when "Learn To Fly" comes on over the speakers inside. All three of them completely lose it.
Follow them back into the bar for floor spins, freakouts and impromptu karaoke (mostly by Smith who, again, might as well be Will Ferrell). When that's over, check out the incredible official video for "Learn To Fly" after the jump. You really can't ever see it enough times.
Now that the 2009 Oscar nomineeshave dropped, all the talk around the MTV water cooler is speculation about this year's show, right? RIGHT? Who will host? Can anybody top Mike Myers? Who's gonna perform? Is Robert Pattinson gonna do a piano ballad? Will Hurley from LOST show up in a bikini? Will Pineapple Express be considered a comedy or a drama? And most importantly, most interestingly, WHO'S GONNA WIN?
Well, as you may have noticed, MTV is a democracy. And I figured that since you're the ones who are gonna be watching the show, maybe YOU had some ideas about how it should go??? Who would you like to see host? If you were in charge of performances, who would you sign? And again, most importantly, WHO'S GONNA WIN? Post your best ideas as comments below and I'll pass them on to the suits calling the shots!
