MTV Exclusive: Lady Gaga To Premiere Film At Paris Fashion Week

Lady Gaga is set to give her Little Monsters a big surprise at Paris Fashion Week next Wednesday. MTV News can exclusively announce that Mother Monster will debut a brand-new short film during the spring/summer 2012 fashion show for the Mugler Women's Wear Collection in Paris next week.
The film was directed by "Yoü and I" fashion-film directors and fashion photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin under the creative direction of Nicola Formichetti, Mugler's creative director and Gaga's stylist.
The film will feature a previously-unreleased remix of one of Gaga's songs. For those not lucky enough to attend, a special edit of the film will drop the following day online. In an exclusive behind-the-scenes still, fans are teased with a peek at Gaga's face and her long, straight blond hair. In addition, starting Monday, Mugler.tumblr.com will feature live blogging from Mugler's Atelier.
While little is known about what the Haus of Gaga have up their sleeve for this latest film, the clapper board does reveal some hints. The date on the board is 09.20.2011, perhaps a hint as to when Gaga, Formichetti, and Inez and Vinoodh shot the video.
This isn't the first time Gaga and Mugler have collaborated in this way. Besides the fact that Formichetti is her stylist, she's also given fans brand-new music at his shows. In January, she debuted a remix of her Born This Way track "Scheiße" at a Mugler fashion show. Then in March, Gaga not only walked in a Mugler show, she also debuted her song "Government Hooker" during the same show.
Experts agree that the Mugler/Gaga relationship is one of the best in the business. "Gaga working with people like Nicola Formichetti has allowed designers like him and like the late Alexander McQueen to step out of the world of high fashion, which is often perceived of as elite, and become part of the mainstream music landscape as she's used high fashion to build her own personal musical narrative," MTV Buzzworthy blog editor Tamar Anitai said.
MTV Style blog editor Mary H.K. Choi calls their work together "a pop culture moment. ... I think we can all agree that Lady Gaga's relationship with Nicola Formichetti has been entirely synergistic," she said. "When she walked the Mugler runway in Paris last season, not only did she model with aplomb, but her debut of 'Government Hooker' galvanized the show as a pop culture moment. The clothing was beautiful, granted, very much the sexy, bombastic Mugler aesthetic of the '80s and early '90s, but the confluence of Gaga, her music and Formichetti — all streamed live on Facebook — made the collection a must-see event."

Adele's 'Someone Like You' Video: Queen Of Pain
Second clip from 21 perfectly captures song's somber feel.
By James Montgomery

Never mind the fact that, in person, Adele is so bubbly she's practically effervescent. When it comes to her albums, Adele is pain personified. Alone and adrift, brokenhearted and bitter — these are emotions we all feel, but rarely do we have the courage to express them like Adele does.
And nowhere on her 21 album is that more apparent than "Someone Like You," the stirring, somber closer in which Adele goes to visit a former love (with high hopes of a reconciliation), only to discover he has not only moved on with his life, but is in a much better place. And though she's heartbroken, she puts on a brave face, stubbornly proclaiming she'll find someone just like him, even if she knows that she never will. And that conclusion makes you ache not only because it's so daunting, but because it's so real. We've all felt that way, tried to trick ourselves into thinking that any other outcome was possible. In Adele's music, much like life, there are no happy endings.
"Someone Like You" was a natural choice for the next single from 21, and on Thursday (September 29), Adele premiered the video for the song — an equally somber affair that matches not only the song's emotional wallop, but its straightforward, downright crushing simplicity.
Shot in Paris, in the very early hours of the morning, it is little more than Adele wandering the deserted streets of the city, gazing longingly at the Seine, very nearly breaking into tears. Director Jake Nava made the smart decision to shoot it in arty, smudgy black-and-white, which only adds to the clip's desolate, haunted feel. In a lot of ways, as she drifts along, Adele is little more than a ghost, haunting the streets, destined to remain invisible to all, especially the one she wants to notice.
It's a lot like how everyone feels after heartbreak, and that's what makes the "Someone Like You" video so powerful. There are no special effects, no camera tricks or elaborate choreography, because those are quick fixes. Life doesn't operate that way, especially when the bottom falls out and we are all alone. Our days are endless, our hearts black, our skies are gray. And when it gets to that point, all we have is our pain, majestically, beautifully so. Thankfully, we also have Adele, and that sonorous, sorrowful voice of hers. Long live the Queen of Pain.

Dodge is a space-shooter in which you have no weapons
Your vector-looking spacecraft is the fastest thing on the screen, most of the time. And as the header implies, you have absolutely no weapons; you can't get any, either. All you have is agility and maneuverability.
Your opponents shoot heat-seeking missiles at you; the missiles lock on and start tracking you. The trick is to dodge the missiles while putting them in the path of one of your enemies, thus letting them have a taste of their own medicine.
There are three types of enemies, at least in the first few levels: "simple" spaceships which fire slow projectiles, "tanks" which seem to be more serious and take more hits to destroy, and "circles." The circles simply explode, spewing twenty or thirty very fast projectiles. This sounds dangerous, but is actually great once you learn to use them; they are very destructive for tanks, and can even blow up other circles.
The soundtrack is very techno, but it meshes very well with this type of game. Intense fun!

Nelson Mandela's Grandkids Land Reality Show, Say They "Are Not The African Kardashians"
Three of Nelson Mandela's grandchildren are heading to reality tv. And before you start to draw conclusion, the trio say they "are not the African Kardashians." Deets inside.....
The grandkids of arguably the most famous man in South Africa have thrown their hat in the ring.
Enter, Swait Dlamini, Dorothy Adjoa Amuah and Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway (shown above), three grandkids of former president Nelson Mandela.
"The show will be about our lives as young, black women ... We're not wearing 'I'm a Mandela' T-shirts," said Swati Dlamini, granddaughter of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela (who will soon be featured in the biopic Winnie).
But don't expect the show to focus on shopping, fighting, or the bad behavior that makes American reality shows a success.
"We are exposing Africa for what it is ... with a new middle class of intellectuals ... contributing to the economy," said Dorothy Adjoa Amuah, granddaughter of the late Evelyn Mandela.
Although all three were raised in the US, they have since moved back to South Africa to make lives for themselves. "We're definitely not the African Kardashians," Dorothy said.
34-year-old Dlamini-Manaway plays the mother figure of the show with a 10-year-old son, a two-year-old daughter and a third child due in January. She runs the family business, Mandela Dlamini Associates while 32-year-old Dlamini is a single mother setting up a foundation focused on the housing, education and medical sectors. The youngest, 27-year-old Amuah is the socialite of the group with a law degree and an MBA from Monaco. She is in the luxury brands market.
The shows producer, Rick Leed said:
"They clearly have a great love [for each other]. This may be part storytelling, part reality, except the story we are telling is real ... it's not going to detract from the dignity of Nelson Mandela."
No word yet on which network will air the show. But it is set to air in early 2012, and will feature many of their cousins. But don't expect to see Winnie or Nelson in the mix.

Konstruct for iOS creates generative augmented reality art with your voice
To get started, you first need to print out the Konstruct marker and place it wherever you'd like to create your AR sculpture -- it could be on your living room wall, or on the floor of your bathroom, it doesn't matter. Open the app, point your iPhone at the marker, and start making some noises! Once you're done, you can save your creation, or simply wipe the slate clean and start again.
The volume of your voice affects the size of the shapes that are drawn on the screen, and you can move your head around to alter the path of your 'brush' -- but to change the shape of your brush or modify the color palette you have to use a menu. Without knowledge of the app's internal workings, it's hard to say what the actual difference between whistling, talking and singing is -- and judging by the developer's affinity for whistling in the demo video (after the break), the app probably doesn't perform that much analysis on your input.
Still, Konstruct is just a prototype! A later version could do away with menus and rely entirely on the location, tonality, quality and amplitude of your voice -- and judging by the the words of the developer, James Alliban, there is definitely more in store for Konstruct: "The idea of transforming entire cities into user generated virtual art galleries really appeals to me. I see Konstruct as an early prototype that will hopefully be realised in this form in the future."
Download Konstruct for free from the App Store (iPhone 3GS and 4 only)
[Thanks to Richard for the tip!]

Beyonce's Boyz II Men Sample On 'Countdown' Is 'Clever' Band Says
'I guess you can say we finally got our duet with Beyoncé,' Wanya Morris tells MTV News.

When Beyoncé dropped 4 earlier this year, she paid homage to her roots by sampling Boyz II Men. The singer used the countdown portion of their track "Uhh Ahh" on her I'm-so-in-love party track "Countdown."
The song is all about the rapture of true love, with Beyoncé happily declaring her devotion to that special man in her life. So were the guys happy about her decision to include them on the album? "I thought it was very clever," Wanya Morris told MTV News earlier this week when he stopped by to chat about the latest Boyz II Men album, Twenty. "She's a clever artist. She's one of the best in the business right now. I guess you can say we finally got our duet with Beyoncé."
The guys are certainly having a moment this year, thanks to the sample and their work with Justin Bieber. They say that Beyoncé's decision to use their song on the lively track was pretty surprising, even though they have a bit of history with Queen B.
"It wasn't something we expected, but we do have a bit of a relationship," Nathan Morris explained. "A lot of people don't really know that when they had Destiny's Child, the first time they went on tour they opened up for us for quite a long time. And we tried our best to look after them and make sure everything was good. And back then they were incredible."
Even that long ago they knew Beyoncé stood out from the pack. "We all saw that she would wind up doing her thing," Morris added. "There is a connection, and at the end of the day we didn't know she would use that record. Game respects game, I guess you would call it."

Nicole Richie: Did She Get a Boob Job?
Did Nicole Richie give herself a couple of 30th birthday presents? Thanks to photos (like the one to the above right) of the new, fuller figure she flaunted while on vacation in Mexico on Sept. 24, the media is speculating that Richie might have marked her Sept. 21 birthday with a celebration of the breast augmentation persuasion.
Richie herself has not confirmed this, of course, but an "inside source" tells Us Weekly that Nicole got the implants over the summer. "She's been open about (the boob job) to friends," says the pal.
"In the past, she said she wanted a lift, though we never thought she was serious," adds another insider.
Ever since Richie dropped all that weight in 2006, her figure has been trim all over -- especially on top. According to one Us source, Richie wasn't satisfied with her bust after two pregnancies -- she has daughter Harlow, 3, and son Sparrow, 2 -- and wanted her chest to look nicer for her husband, musician Joel Madden.
"The pregnancies took a toll," says the insider. "She said breast-feeding killed what boobs she did have!"
Back in 2008, while she was nursing Harlow, Richie didn't seem to care much about her breast size, however. "I really don't like (having big boobs)," she said at the time.
So, did Richie change her mind about the importance of a large chest and choose to celebrate her milestone 30th birthday with a boob job? When you compare the bikini photos above -- the one on the left is from 2006, and the one to the right is from Sept. 24 -- it sure seems that way. But until Nicole confirms the news, we'll just have to stay abreast of the situation.

Cheryl Cole & Victoria Beckham: Differing Opinions
She?s on the way up the celebrity ladder and Cheryl Cole says she holds Victoria Beckham as one of her role models.
Miss Cole recently told press, ?I saw Victoria on a plane recently and she said how exciting it is to be a designer. I think it's brilliant what she's done. I'd love to do what she's doing. Her New York Fashion Week collection was my favorite.?
However, Mrs. David Beckham isn?t much a fan of the Girls Aloud singer and is trying not to get compared to her.
An insider told press, ?Victoria has spent years trying to distance herself from the world of the WAGs that she and Cheryl inhabited when they were friends during the 2006 World Cup.?
?She's fought tooth and nail to be respected in the world of high fashion and last week she was the toast of New York's Fashion Week. Now she feels as though Cheryl's trying to piggy-back on all of her hard work.?

First Firefox 6 build next week, Firefox 7 by May, and aurora channel introduced
Along with the faster 6-week release cadence, Firefox's new Chrome-like release channels have also been given names and anticipated update frequencies. The most notable change is the introduction of a new alpha channel -- which is analogous to Chrome Canary -- that will be called 'aurora' and will update nightly. Aurora will be where fixes and features are tested, and either approved for Beta, or backed out to Central. Aurora will have a new icon, too.
The Nightly (mozilla-central) channel will remain unchanged in name and frequency, but it will gain a new 'nightly icon.' The Beta (mozilla-beta) channel will remain as-is, with new builds rolling out weekly. The Release (mozilla-release) channel will also remain as-is, with security and stability updates coming every 6 to 12 weeks.
It should be noted that the names (including 'aurora') are not necessarily final, but it's unlikely that they'll change. We're also awaiting the arrival of the new 'channel switching' technology, which should arrive in the next few days -- in time for the release of Firefox 6 aurora!

Last night, Chaz Bono’s performance suffered because of his injured knees. It was hard to watch, knowing how much pain he was in, but he still trudged on. Unfortunately, their quickstep was anything but quick, and the judges scored them accordingly, all of them agreeing that the dance was too slow. Chaz and Lacey had the lowest score of the night, 17 out of 30. Did America feel it was time to say goodbye to Chaz as well? Read on to find out what happened in Elimination Night, Week 2. So let’s get down to elimination night. First up are David Arquette and Carson Kressly. Carson is safe. The same can’t be said for David and Kym.

Google bids $900 million for Nortel's patents to protect against litigation trolls
Nortel, once one of the biggest telecoms company in the world but now in the death throes of bankruptcy, has selected Google's $900 million bid for its patent portfolio as the stalking horse bid. This doesn't mean that Google will automatically win Nortel's massive array of telecoms patents, but it does mean that Google is the preferred buyer.Google, which has a history of lobbying for patent law reform, has been the target of many patent litigation suits. Google's relative infancy means that it has a lot less patents in the vault than big-hitters like Microsoft, Oracle and IBM, and buying Nortel's portfolio of 6,000 patents could provide better protection against patent litigation in the future. It's worth noting that both Apple and RIM have showed interested in the portfolio, too.
Mashable speculates that the patents -- which are nearly all telecoms-related -- will be used to defend against Oracle's attacks on Android's use of Java. We reckon that Google is simply looking to cover its future endeavors in the world of networking. In the absence of patent law reform, and continued threats to net neutrality, owning a bunch of telecoms patents sounds like a very sensible move.

Lily Collins Is Our New Class' 'Ass-Kicking Girl Next Door'
With 'Mortal Instruments' and 'Snow White' still to come, the badass-yet-relatable actress is destined for mega-fame.
By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Kara Warner
Lily Collins
Photo: MTV News
We called it way back in January: Lily Collins was an actress to watch in 2011.
At that point, her career was just heating up following a turn as Sandra Bullock's daughter in "The Blind Side." An impressive series of castings in high-profile films followed: "Priest," "Abduction" opposite Taylor Lautner and an adaptation of the best-selling YA series "The Mortal Instruments." A few months later, she landed the role of Snow White in Relativity Media's Julia Roberts-starring take on the fairy tale.
Collins is making good on our predictions, which is why we've selected her as part of our New Class — a collection of young talent about to rise to the top of Hollywood, including her "Mortal Instruments" co-star Jamie Campbell Bower. With her badass-yet-relatable roles, Collins is our New Class' "Ass-Kicking Girl Next Door."
Though she's had all of 2011 to get used to the spotlight, the whole celebrity thing continues to feel odd.
"It feels very surreal," she told us at the "Abduction" red carpet. "It's weird getting out of a car and people are saying my name. It's still a weird concept to me."
Give her time. Collins told us she'd like to model her career after Keira Knightley, Kate Winslet or Meryl Streep. "I like that none of them have stuck themselves in a box," she said. "They've done all sorts of roles — comedic, dramatic, they've gone from indies to big motion pictures. I love their choices."
And she's a fan of the New Class itself, which includes not only Bower, but Emma Watson, Josh Hutcherson, Julianne Hough and Nina Dobrev.
"It's an honor to be placed in the New Class of actors," Collins said. "I'm doing what I love, and I'm having the best time."
