As the "American Idol" auditions continue making their way around the country, we've seen celebrity guest judges like Mary J. Blige and Shania Twain helping Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi find the next big thing.
</p><p>On Tuesday night (January 26), <a href="/music/artist/perry_katy/artist.jhtml">Katy Perry</a> and <a href="/music/artist/lavigne_avril/artist.jhtml">Avril Lavigne</a> sat in on <a href="/news/articles/1630557/20100126/perry_katy.jhtml">the Los Angeles auditions</a>. We caught up with Perry after the audition episodes were taped to see how her guest-judging stint went.
</p><p></p><div class="player-placeholder"></div><p>
</p><p>"I make 'em cry all the time," Perry joked to MTV News. "The 'American Idol' experience was awesome. If I was offered that job as a permanent host, I would ditch my career and take on that career."
</p><p>Perry said she didn't actually cause anyone to tear up, but she did have a great time during the experience. "It's kind of like judging a talent show," she said. " 'American Idol' was great fun. It was so easy. I didn't really make anybody cry, but I did tell the truth to some kids that might have needed to hear it."
</p><p>Judging the audition rounds is the easy part, Perry said. She's just glad she doesn't have to make the really tough decisions during Hollywood Week and beyond. "I guess the pressure gets really on when you start eliminating the number of people that are going through," she said. "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, and then you've got the final two. That can be kind of tense and stressful."

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Didn&#8217;t they almost have it all?</p>
<p>Child star-turned-soap stud Darius McCrary&#8217;s shortlived marriage to retired rap industry ho Karrine &#8220;Superhead&#8221; Steffans in no more. McCrary &#8212; who replaced Shemar Moore as Malcom Winters on the CBS daytime drama <em>The Young &#038; The Restless</em> &#8212; served his controversial spouse with divorce papers last month, pulling the plug on the nearly year-old marriage just days before Valentine&#8217;s Day.</p>
<p><a href="http://hiphop.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Darius-McCrary-Divorcing-Karrine-Steffans.jpg"><img src="http://hiphop.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Darius-McCrary-Divorcing-Karrine-Steffans.jpg" alt="" title="Darius McCrary Divorcing Karrine Steffans" width="500" height="280" class="alignright size-full wp-image-17675" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-17674"></span></p>
<p>While Darius, now 33, says he still cares about Karrine, the volatile nature of their stormy romance has become too much for him to bare.</p>
<p>&#8220;I will always love Karrine and her son, but we are not good together. It was just time for us to go our separate ways,&#8221; the actor revealed in the March 22 issue of <em>The National Enquirer</em>.</p>
<p>A source close to the warring exes tells the tab: <em>&#8220;He hoped he and Karrine could remain friends. Even though he was filing, he sent flowers to remind Karrine that he still cares about her. He wanted to say let&#8217;s go our separate ways, but wish each other well.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Karrine, on the other hand, insist Darius was unfaithful to her. A claim the soap star denies. </p>
<p><em>&#8220;He cheated on me. You can&#8217;t cover that up with a bouquet of flowers!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The pair have certainly enjoyed a bumpy road in their three years together. You may recall that Karrine &#8212; a <em>New York Times </em> Best-Selling Author once romantically-linked to half the hip-hop community &#8212; tried to mow Darius down with her car after he allegedly choked her in a Los Angeles parking lot in 2008. And of course there was the time she aired him out with anal beads:</p>

<p>A lawyer for DMX has appealed to TV addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky to enroll the troubled rap star in the next season of the VH1 reality series <em>Celebrity Rehab.</p>
<p>“DMX has been battling addiction for some time, and he’s in need of treatment,”</em> says Gary Jenkins, attorney for the rapper who was busted in Arizona Tuesday for allegedly violating the terms of his probation by using cocaine.</p>
<p>It was the fifth arrest for the lyricist in the past year.</p>
<p><em>“We’re hoping that maybe Dr. Drew might be able to help him,”</em> Jenkins says. <em>“He’s a talented man. We’re praying for him.”<br />

<br /><br /><br />This whole 'Distant Relatives' collaboration between <a href="http://www.theboombox.com/tag/Nas/">Nas</a> and <a href="http://www.theboombox.com/tag/DamianMarley/">Damian Marley</a> is becoming another hip-hop record overshadowed by its multiple release dates. However, last night, <a href="http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=72867">XXL</a> got an exclusive preview and jotted down a new track listing that contains a surprise feature from the recently imprisoned <a href="http://www.theboombox.com/tag/LilWayne/">Lil Wayne</a>. The rapper appears on a track called 'My Generation' with singer <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/joss-stone">Joss Stone</a>. <br /> <br /> Universal Republic is set to put the disc out sometime in May or June, but a concrete release date hasn't been set yet. The record is reportedly dedicated to the "hoods of America and Africa" and also features productions by Marley in attempt to blur the boundaries between hip-hop and some of the genre's forbearers such as reggae, dub and roots music. Nas recently sat down with the <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/01/28/1450560/nas-talks-roots-and-reggae.html">Miami Herald</a> to explain the concept a bit more.

<b>LAS VEGAS</b> &#8212; It might have been the day before <a href="/news/articles/1633694/20100311/311.jhtml">311 Day</a>, but the festivities were already in full swing Wednesday night at the Jet nightclub at the Mirage Resort &#38; Casino in Las Vegas. The official <a href="/music/artist/311/artist.jhtml">311</a> Fan Party at Jet served as the epicenter for die-hard fans from all over the country to converge &#8212; and converge they did.
</p><p>Fans packed the line in droves even before the doors opened at 9 p.m. Jet let its usual formal dress code slide for the night, allowing fans to show their true colors in 311 T-shirts, hats, and plenty of tattoos. By 11 p.m., the line of fans stretched all the way to the entrance of the Mirage. But you didn't have to 
see them to feel their presence &#8212; their chants of "311!" could be heard all the way to the blackjack tables.
</p><p>Inside the club, 311 music was blasting on the speakers &#8212; and that's where MTV News' <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2010/03/10/311-day-taco-tuesday/">guest correspondents Dave Kosin and Lauren Black,</a> (winners of the 311 Day contest) were hard at work. The pair were meeting old friends and new ones from all over the country: ecstatic fans from Lauren's home state of Texas to a local Las Vegas couple who booked a hotel room to take part in the activities.
</p><p>But it was a fan from across the pond that proved just how die-hard 311 fans are. He told Dave, "I had to threaten to resign from my job to be allowed to come." For him, a week without pay ended up being a small penalty for his first-ever 311 Day.
</p><p>He could hardly contain his excitement. "In England they never play a 311 song, so even tonight, it's just wow! It's amazing &#8212; tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life," he said with a smile.

<p>
Are you at work today? You totally shouldn't be. After all, it's <a href="/music/artist/311/artist.jhtml">311</a> Day, which is practically a national holiday at this point.
</p><p>Ever since March 11, 2000 &#8212; when 311 decided to perform an extended 46-song set at New Orleans' State Palace Theatre &#8212; celebrating 311 Day has become an annual tradition for the band's diehard fans. And every <i>other</i> year, the band gets in on the act as well, throwing an elaborate, certifiably epic concert that also doubles as a fan convention, party, and de facto rite of passage for 311 obsessives.
</p><p>This year, the band has taken over Las Vegas for a three-day extravaganza, the centerpiece of which is Thursday (March 11) night's performance at the Mandalay Bay Events Center. (MTV News has <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2010/03/10/311-day-taco-tuesday/">two fans on the ground in Sin City</a>.) In anticipation of the show &#8212; which, rumor has it, will last <i>five hours</i> &#8212; we spoke to 311 bassist Aaron "P-Nut" Wills, who was already preparing himself for the looming marathon.
</p><p>"I don't think we'd be able to physically play a show like this, not even once a month. But I'm ready. I'm trying not to think of it as this huge thing, because, if you think about it, the people who attend most rock shows are on their feet for the same amount of time," Wills said.
</p><p>"It helps to see it from that side of things. We're the entertainment, but of course the fans are going to be there with us the whole time. Then again, [frontman] Nick [Hexum] does do marathons, so I know he's going to be ready. We all are, because we think of this as a huge opportunity to do something special, to play the ultimate show every two years for our most fanatic fans. It's perfect."
</p><p>And while Wills wouldn't reveal any of the surprises the band has in store for fans at Thursday's show, he did say that things are most certainly going to be epic. It's only fitting, after all.
</p><p>"It's just going be as big as it gets for us. It's going be nuts," he said. "I've only seen some of the sketches of what our set is going to look like, and it's amazing. Our front-of-house guy designed it, and he's kind of a nutcase, but we trust him."
</p><p>And while the idea of playing the ultimate show before their ultimate fans is inspiring, what <i>really</i> drives Wills, and the rest of the band, is what 311 Day represents. It's a gathering, a community, a chance for both the band and its fans to share the love.
</p><p>"It's a great experience for our fans and for us. It's a rite of passage. So we know we've got to bring it," he said. "I know we will, too. This will be the best of the best, both from our fans and from us. And I know that at the end of the set, we'll probably want to play even <i>more.</i> We're out to chop heads off. Unless we're playing reggae, then it's a different vibe."

Yesterday we gave "American Idol" producers props for <a href="/news/articles/1633595/20100310/story.jhtml">reducing the show to one hour instead of two</a>. Today we feel like tossing the judges in detention for their shenanigans this week, from Tuesday's awkwardly forced lap-sitting incident between Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres to Wednesday's infantile Simon/Kara DioGuardi flirtation.

</p><p>But this is a singing competition, isn't it? So on to the contestants. The evening took off with strong performances from Lee Dewyze and Alex Lambert and U-turned into Snoozeville at a certain point, before blissfully blasting away with an injection of Michael Lynche-provided power. Who surprised us, who disappointed us and who's in danger of going home? Let's take a look at the top eight men's report card. (And don't miss Jim Cantiello's recap of their performances in the <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2010/03/11/american-idol-recap-big-mike/">MTV Newsroom</a>.)
</p><p><big><b>Excellent</big></b><BR>
<b>Michael Lynche</b>: First things first. While Big Mike's take on Maxwell's version of <a href="/news/articles/1633681/20100311/bush_kate.jhtml">Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work"</a> was the highlight of the evening, it was nowhere near the waterworks-generating territory that Kara's tears suggested. That being said, Lynche keeps surprising us. Last week he ditched the guitar and brought an ear-pleasing soul sound to the stage. This week he busted out a falsetto during a butter-smooth channeling of Maxwell that showed off an impressive vocal range and convinced us that Big Mike is in the upper tier of "Idol" contestants.
</p><p><big><b>Good</big></b><BR>
<b>Lee Dewyze</b>: Owl City's "Fireflies" was by far the smartest song choice Dewyze has made during these lives shows. The emo rock vibe seems to be a comfortable niche for him, and we were almost able to dismiss his rampant pitch problems. Almost. Dewyze is like a poor man's David Cook. And when you consider that we've never had a very high opinion of the seventh-season "Idol" winner, you can imagine what we think of Dewyze's long-term prospects. No matter, he did well for himself on Wednesday and is a lock to make the top 12.
</p><p><b>Alex Lambert</b>: The kid keeps impressing. The judges seemed to think he'd reverted back to a jelly-legged newbie. Not us. His tone on Ray LaMontagne's "Trouble" was compelling, his vocals generally soft yet powerful. We don't buy for a second that the only thing standing in the way of his winning "Idol," as Kara suggested, is his lack of confidence &#8212; <a href="/news/articles/1633573/20100309/story.jhtml">ever heard of Crystal Bowersox</a>? &#8212; but we're digging Lambert's growth from week to week. "Trouble been dogging my soul," he sang, and ya know what? We believed him.
</p><p><b>Casey James</b>: Has any contestant this year been so lovingly framed and lit on the "Idol" stage? The crooning cowboy's rendition of Keith Urban's "You'll Think of Me" was a step up from last week's sub-par Southern rock number and nowhere near as magical his take on Bryan Adams' "Heaven." James keeps delivering confident, calm, passionate performances and he'll keep doing it for a long while.
</p><p><b>Todrick Hall</b>: Todrick narrowly nabs a Good grade because of his sheer enthusiasm. It's the most clich&#233;d "Idol" explanation ever, but he really was up there just having fun. His performance of Queen's "Somebody to Love" might well belong on a Broadway show version of "Idol" rather than the actual competition, but that's a show we wouldn't mind taking in. Hall's in big trouble this week, but what may have been his last performance was certainly his most enjoyable.
</p><p><big><b>Satisfactory</big></b><BR>

Those were the questions heading into Wednesday's show, and the answers were made clear when Ellen jetted out of her seat to hug the kid. His version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" was the essence of just-all-right-for-me-dog dullness. And yet Urban is not going anywhere this week. His Christian music vibe and his all-American niceness will win him a spot in the top 12.

What we took for amazing artistry after his rendition of Paula Abdul's "Straight Up" was in actuality a sort of creative tunnel vision. Garcia has gone from front-runner to in-danger-of-going-home contestant. We don't think it's going to happen, mind you, but he's not nearly the top-12 lock we once assumed he was.
</p><p><big><b>Unsatisfactory</big></b><BR>
<b>Aaron Kelly</b>: Oh boy. We don't like tearing apart the efforts of a 16-year-old. But what are we to do when voters keep sending him through week after week? His take on Lonestar's "I'm Already There"? Pitchy beyond belief. It's not just because he was the youngest kid onstage that we think he's a boy amongst men. He just can't belt with the front-runners. We'd keep asking how this kid is still here, but continually asking the same question and expecting a different answer is the definition of insanity, right? Right?!

Yesterday we gave "American Idol" producers props for <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/news/articles/1633595/20100310/story.jhtml">reducing the show to one hour instead of two</a>. Today we feel like tossing the judges in detention for their shenanigans this week, from Tuesday's awkwardly forced lap-sitting incident between Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres to Wednesday's infantile Simon/Kara DioGuardi flirtation.

</p><p>But this is a singing competition, isn't it? So on to the contestants. The evening took off with strong performances from Lee Dewyze and Alex Lambert and U-turned into Snoozeville at a certain point, before blissfully blasting away with an injection of Michael Lynche-provided power. Who surprised us, who disappointed us and who's in danger of going home? Let's take a look at the top eight men's report card. (And don't miss Jim Cantiello's recap of their performances in the <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2010/03/11/american-idol-recap-big-mike/">MTV Newsroom</a>.)
</p><p><big><b>Excellent</big></b><BR>
<b>Michael Lynche</b>: First things first. While Big Mike's take on Maxwell's version of <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/news/articles/1633681/20100311/bush_kate.jhtml">Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work"</a> was the highlight of the evening, it was nowhere near the waterworks-generating territory that Kara's tears suggested. That being said, Lynche keeps surprising us. Last week he ditched the guitar and brought an ear-pleasing soul sound to the stage. This week he busted out a falsetto during a butter-smooth channeling of Maxwell that showed off an impressive vocal range and convinced us that Big Mike is in the upper tier of "Idol" contestants.
</p><p><big><b>Good</big></b><BR>
<b>Lee Dewyze</b>: Owl City's "Fireflies" was by far the smartest song choice Dewyze has made during these lives shows. The emo rock vibe seems to be a comfortable niche for him, and we were almost able to dismiss his rampant pitch problems. Almost. Dewyze is like a poor man's David Cook. And when you consider that we've never had a very high opinion of the seventh-season "Idol" winner, you can imagine what we think of Dewyze's long-term prospects. No matter, he did well for himself on Wednesday and is a lock to make the top 12.
</p><p><b>Alex Lambert</b>: The kid keeps impressing. The judges seemed to think he'd reverted back to a jelly-legged newbie. Not us. His tone on Ray LaMontagne's "Trouble" was compelling, his vocals generally soft yet powerful. We don't buy for a second that the only thing standing in the way of his winning "Idol," as Kara suggested, is his lack of confidence &#8212; <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/news/articles/1633573/20100309/story.jhtml">ever heard of Crystal Bowersox</a>? &#8212; but we're digging Lambert's growth from week to week. "Trouble been dogging my soul," he sang, and ya know what? We believed him.
</p><p><b>Casey James</b>: Has any contestant this year been so lovingly framed and lit on the "Idol" stage? The crooning cowboy's rendition of Keith Urban's "You'll Think of Me" was a step up from last week's sub-par Southern rock number and nowhere near as magical his take on Bryan Adams' "Heaven." James keeps delivering confident, calm, passionate performances and he'll keep doing it for a long while.
</p><p><b>Todrick Hall</b>: Todrick narrowly nabs a Good grade because of his sheer enthusiasm. It's the most clich&#233;d "Idol" explanation ever, but he really was up there just having fun. His performance of Queen's "Somebody to Love" might well belong on a Broadway show version of "Idol" rather than the actual competition, but that's a show we wouldn't mind taking in. Hall's in big trouble this week, but what may have been his last performance was certainly his most enjoyable.
</p><p><big><b>Satisfactory</big></b><BR>
<b>Tim Urban</b>: Has Urban's God-fearing adorableness run its course? Will the judges start to honestly evaluate his singing talents rather than concentrating on his dimples? Those were the questions heading into Wednesday's show, and the answers were made clear when Ellen jetted out of her seat to hug the kid. His version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" was the essence of just-all-right-for-me-dog dullness. And yet Urban is not going anywhere this week. His Christian music vibe and his all-American niceness will win him a spot in the top 12.
</p><p><b>Andrew Garcia</b>: In choosing "Genie in a Bottle" by Christina Aguilera, Garcia announced himself as a gimmick artist, a one-trick-pony novelty act. He takes pop tunes and reworks them with a mildly funked-up acoustic guitar arrangement. Anything else he tries doesn't deliver.

Garcia has gone from front-runner to in-danger-of-going-home contestant. We don't think it's going to happen, mind you, but he's not nearly the top-12 lock we once assumed he was.
</p><p><big><b>Unsatisfactory</big></b><BR>
<b>Aaron Kelly</b>: Oh boy. We don't like tearing apart the efforts of a 16-year-old. But what are we to do when voters keep sending him through week after week?

<p>
As sales of his latest album, <I>Graffiti</I>, continue to falter, <a href="/music/artist/brown__chris__18_/artist.jhtml">Chris Brown</a> issued a message to his fans this week to help revive his music career in the wake of his <a href="/news/articles/1614517/20090623/brown__chris__18_.jhtml">guilty plea to felony assault</a> on former girlfriend Rihanna last year.
</p><p>Posting on the Web site <a href="http://www.saynow.com/cbreezy" target="_blank">SayNow.com</a> &#8212; a site that enables people to leave and share recorded messages &#8212; Brown apparently said American radio stations are not playing his songs, which has made promoting <I>Graffiti</i> difficult for him. In an earlier message, Brown urged fans to keep in touch with him by calling a special 877 number while he is on tour.
</p><p>At press time, a spokesperson for Brown had not responded to MTV News' requests for comment on the message, nor confirmed that the messages are definitely from him.
</p><p>In a new missive uploaded on Wednesday morning, he directly asks fans to lend him a hand. "Hey, what's up, y'all? CB. I ain't never really did this but right now I'm just calling ya'll, I need all of my fans' help," he said in the 90-second clip. "I need all the fans that I have, I need y'all's help. It's crazy because a lot of radio stations ... some radio stations aren't playing my records. They're not being that supportive and I wouldn't expect them to.
</p><p>"It's on the fans and what you guys do [whatever is] in y'all power to bring me back because that's all I need, is you guys," Brown continued. "Nothing else will do that except for the fans. There's nothing else that I can do. I'm doing everything that I need to do. I'm doing me as a person and I'm a better guy. But it's on y'all.
</p><p>"My singing and my music is all great, but I do it for you guys and everything else but it won't be possible if I'm not relevant on the radio and it won't be possible for me to be an artist if I don't have any support from people that give me an artists outlet. I can't be an underground mixtape artist!" Brown said with a laugh. "I just want all my fans to help me. I love y'all. Peace."
</p><p>Since its release in early December, <I>Graffiti</I> has spawned the singles "I Can Transform Ya," "Crawl" and "Sing Like Me," with only "Transform Ya" gaining traction on radio and the album's sales stalling out at just over 250,000 copies. The singer mounted a small "Fan Appreciation" tour from October through December that hit modest theaters that were considerably smaller than the arenas he played with Bow Wow on the tour for his previous album, 2007's <I>Exclusive</I>, which has sold nearly 2 million copies to date.
</p><p>When contacted back in November, a number of <a href="/news/articles/1626271/20091113/rihanna.jhtml">radio programmers told MTV News</a> they weren't shying away from playing Brown's songs on the radio in light of the sordid details of the assault that leaked prior to Brown's guilty plea.
</p><p>And though <a href="/news/articles/1622679/20090930/brown__chris__18_.jhtml">fans appeared to like "Transform Ya,"</a> many programmers appear to have cooled on the singer's music for now. At the moment, Brown does not have any songs in the top 50 on the <I>Billboard</i> R&#38;B/Hip-Hop chart.

I ain't never really did this but right now I'm just calling ya'll, I need all of my fans' help," he said in the 90-second clip. "I need all the fans that I have, I need y'all's help. It's crazy because a lot of radio stations ... some radio stations aren't playing my records. They're not being that supportive and I wouldn't expect them to.
</p><p>"It's on the fans and what you guys do [whatever is] in y'all power to bring me back because that's all I need, is you guys," Brown continued. "Nothing else will do that except for the fans. There's nothing else that I can do. I'm doing everything that I need to do. I'm doing me as a person and I'm a better guy. But it's on y'all.
</p><p>"My singing and my music is all great, but I do it for you guys and everything else but it won't be possible if I'm not relevant on the radio and it won't be possible for me to be an artist if I don't have any support from people that give me an artists outlet. I can't be an underground mixtape artist!" Brown said with a laugh. "I just want all my fans to help me. I love y'all. Peace."
</p><p>Since its release in early December, <I>Graffiti</I> has spawned the singles "I Can Transform Ya," "Crawl" and "Sing Like Me," with only "Transform Ya" gaining traction on radio and the album's sales stalling out at just over 250,000 copies. The singer mounted a small "Fan Appreciation" tour from October through December that hit modest theaters that were considerably smaller than the arenas he played with Bow Wow on the tour for his previous album, 2007's <I>Exclusive</I>, which has sold nearly 2 million copies to date.
</p><p>When contacted back in November, a number of <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/news/articles/1626271/20091113/rihanna.jhtml">radio programmers told MTV News</a> they weren't shying away from playing Brown's songs on the radio in light of the sordid details of the assault that leaked prior to Brown's guilty plea.
</p><p>And though <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/news/articles/1622679/20090930/brown__chris__18_.jhtml">fans appeared to like "Transform Ya,"</a> many programmers appear to have cooled on the singer's music for now. At the moment, Brown does not have any songs in the top 50 on the <I>Billboard</i> R&B/Hip-Hop chart.

</p><p>While she went on to describe Romo as "a fine breed," she had a less positive review of her other ex, Mayer, who very famously revealed <a href="/news/articles/1632945/20100302/simpson_jessica.jhtml">details about their sex life in <i>Playboy.</i></a> "Normally, you would think that somebody you care about would keep those intimate details to themselves, It was definitely compliment ... in a way.

"American Idol" judges often rail on contestants for not making the right song choices. But on Wednesday night, personal trainer and new dad <a href="/news/articles/1633664/20100310/story.jhtml">Michael Lynche provided a textbook example</a> of how to pick the perfect song.

</p><p>The 26-year-old Florida native, whose wife gave birth their firstborn while he was performing during the show's Hollywood Week, moved judge Kara DioGuardi to tears with his sensitive take on British singer <a href="/music/artist/bush_kate/artist.jhtml">Kate Bush's</a> "This Woman's Work."
</p><p>On a night when the judges criticized some singers for not connecting with the words they sang, Lynche astutely picked a song that mirrored the tumultuous changes in his personal life. The combination of Lynche's velvety, gospelized vocals and the song's connection to his life's journey made for dramatic TV.
</p><p>DioGuardi felt the emotion, tearfully telling Lynche, "I've never cried after hearing something like that. It's amazing. You were amazing. And it's so relevant for you and I can feel it. It's your life right now. It's your respect for your wife, what you've gone through ... and as a woman who doesn't have a child, I can relate to it so much and it brought me to tears."
</p><p>"This Woman's Work" is one of Bush's most beloved tunes, and the biggest commercial success from an artist who has always followed her peculiar muse. Bush's career began in the late 1970s, when Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour turned label EMI on to the then-teenaged songwriting prodigy. In 1985, she released her most celebrated album, <I>Hounds of Love</I>. That album featured the hits "Running Up That Hill" and "Cloudbursting," and it helped cement her reputation as an enigmatic pop poet.
</p><p>In 1988, Bush provided "This Woman's Work" to director John Hughes for his coming-of-age drama "She's Having a Baby." The song, reportedly written specifically for the film, plays during a scene in which new father Kevin Bacon is pacing outside the delivery room where his wife is having their first child, fretting about the changes his family is about to face.
</p><p>Bush's self-directed video for "Work" parallels the story of the film. The primly dressed singer, seated at a grand piano, plays the haunting melody, and shots of her are intercut with images of a nervous man in the waiting room of a hospital. A ghostly image of Bush stands behind the man and hugs him as he breaks into tears and stares ominously into the dark. A flashback then reveals Bush collapsing and being rushed to the hospital as the man wails in agony. At the end of the clip, a smiling nurse comes over to the man and puts her hand on his shoulder, appearing to give him good news as Bush quietly shuts the lid on the piano.
</p><p>"Work" later appeared on Bush's 1989 album <I>The Sensual World</I>, which contained a number of tunes about the perils and pitfalls of love ("Love and Anger," "Between a Man and a Woman") and a title track inspired by Irish author James Joyce's epic "Ulysses." In the years that followed, the song underscored dramatic scenes in a number of TV shows ("Felicity," "Alias," "Party of Five").
</p><p>In 1997, it was covered by Maxwell during his <I>MTV Unplugged</I> appearance. He later included a studio version of the track on his 2001 album <I>Now</I>, and it peaked at No. 58 on the <i>Billboard</i> Hot 100 that year.
</p><p>Bush has rarely toured, and she took a lengthy break between her 1993 album <I>The Red Shoes</I> &#8212; which featured contributions from Prince, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton &#8212; and her 2005 double album <I>Aerial</I> to raise her family.

</p><p>Bush has rarely toured, and she took a lengthy break between her 1993 album <I>The Red Shoes</I> &#8212; which featured contributions from Prince, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton &#8212; and her 2005 double album <I>Aerial</I> to raise her family.

<b>LOS ANGELES</b> &#8212; On Wednesday night, <a href="/news/articles/1632005/20100216/barker__travis.jhtml">Travis Barker and DJ A-Trak</a> played their second-ever public show together &#8212; and although the set was quick, it did not disappoint, featuring guest spots from <a href="/music/artist/lil_jon_1/artist.jhtml">Lil Jon</a>, <a href="/music/artist/kid_cudi/artist.jhtml">Kid Cudi</a> and <a href="/music/artist/kid_sister__2_/artist.jhtml">Kid Sister</a>.

</p><p>Performing in front of a sold-out crowd at Hollywood's Roxy Theatre, the duo hit the ground running the minute they took to the stage. With a set that lasted a little under an hour, the duo treated fans to a medley of songs that included remixes by A-Trak (who also serves as Kanye West's concert DJ), Barker's own remixes and new material.
</p><p>Though there wasn't any interaction with the fans, the crowd didn't seem to mind. Instead they stood and watched in awe as Barker and A-Trak opened the show with Jay-Z's "99 Problems" and continued to please the crowd with remixes of Nas' "Made You Look," Kanye's "Stronger" and Snoop Dogg's "I Wanna Rock."
</p><p>And just as the energy was peaking, fans were treated to a guest appearance by Lil Jon, who took to the stage with his signature sunglasses halfway into the set and performed his song "Outta Your Mind."But as just as quickly as he appeared on the stage he was gone, teasing fans and leaving them wanting more.
</p><p>As the night went on Travis Barker and A-Trak continued to perform an array of tunes, adding a little more of a rock feel to the show with Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls on Parade,"
the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Heads Will Roll." Each song lasted for only a few minutes before spilling into the next. The set then transitioned into more dance-oriented material, with songs like Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" and Daft Punk's "Robot Rock."
</p><p>Not surprisingly, the set ended with a bang: opening act Kid Sister returned to the stage, with Barker playing drums and A-Trak spinning behind her. Wearing '80s-inspired attire, she pumped up the crowd with some booty-shaking moves while performing her hit "Pro Nails."
</p><p>But when Kid Cudi took the stage, the crowd exploded. Performing "Pursuit of Happiness," fans sang along at the top of their lungs while Cudi jumped around the entire stage, high-fiving fans lucky enough to be standing in front.
</p><p>The show ended just shy of midnight, with A-Trak waving to and thanking the crowd and Travis Barker handing his drums sticks off to a screaming fan before walking off stage. As fans scattered to the exit doors, VIPs headed backstage &#8212; including Amber Rose sans Kanye West.

<p>
After fans took to Facebook to launch a campaign to get veteran funny girl Betty White on "Saturday Night Live," it was announced earlier this week that she would in fact be <a href="/news/articles/1633478/20100308/story.jhtml">making an appearance</a> on the show in some capacity. Now comes word that the star will be hosting the show in May.
</p><p>White will be onboard for the May 8 episode, which also happens to be Mother's Day. The show will feature appearances by a number of female "SNL" vets including Tina Fey, who will also <a href="/news/articles/1633478/20100308/story.jhtml">host the show on April 10</a> with musical guest Justin Bieber; Amy Poehler; Molly Shannon; Maya Rudolph; Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch.
</p><p>In an interview with <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2010-03-11-bettywhite11_ST_N.htm" target="_blank"><i>USA Today</a>,</i> "SNL" executive producer Lorne Michaels admits he "always wanted" White to host the late-night comedy program.
</p><p>"Years ago, I turned it down three times," White says. "It's so New York, and I'm not New York at all. But my agent said he'd divorce me if I didn't do it, and I love my agent."
And while White has starred in and won awards for many of her memorable roles on shows like "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "The Golden Girls" and last summer's movie "The Proposal," and has even more recently <a href="/news/articles/1633055/20100303/story.jhtml">caught the eye of Robert Pattinson</a>, it was her very funny <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2010/02/08/best-super-bowl-ads/">Super Bowl commercial</a> that was the catalyst for her getting the coveted gig on "SNL."
</p><p>"It took on a groundswell," Michaels says of the Facebook campaign, which began in response to White's appearance in the Super Bowl spot. "It isn't something we would have said no to," but the campaign "validated that, 'Oh, that'd be fun.' ... It was the outpouring of affection from fans, and we feel the same way."
</p><p>White herself is excited about all the attention. "It's lovely, and at my age it's certainly unexpected," she said. "I've got so much energy, it's ridiculous. I love working. My schedule is a feverish one, and I'm used to that."

Earlier this year, Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch, <a href="/news/articles/1633660/20100310/fiasco__lupe.jhtml">Lupe Fiasco</a>, Santigold and others banded together to climb to the <a href="/news/articles/1633654/20100310/kenna.jhtml">summit of Mount Kilimanjaro</a> to raise awareness about the global clean-water crisis. Now Justin Timberlake has pitched in to support the effort.
</p><p></p><div style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;float: left"></div><p>
</p><p>The singer is set to provide a personal introduction to <a href="http://www.mtv.com/shows/summit_on_the_summit/series.jhtml">"Summit on the Summit: Kilimanjaro,"</a>
the 90-minute documentary about the celebrities' climb that will air on MTV on March 14 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Masterminded by Grammy-nominated musician Kenna, the team took a <a href="/news/articles/1629516/20100112/fiasco__lupe.jhtml">six-day, 50-mile trek</a>
to the peak of the tallest mountain in Africa.
</p><p>"It was a combination of the mental and the psychological aspects of the mountain, of the slow-but-steady pace that you had to go up it, and that sometimes made your brain just want to explode, because you just wanted to get there so badly," <a href="/news/articles/1633659/20100310/story.jhtml">Biel told MTV News</a> Wednesday. "But then you'd get this rush of inspiration of 'I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing this for something bigger than me, for people who don't have a voice, for people that need water around the world,' and then you'd power through."
</p><p>In addition to raising awareness about the clean-water crisis, the "Summit on the Summit" raises funds for P&#38;G's <a href="http://www.csdw.org/csdw/home.shtml" target="_blank">Children's Safe Drinking Water Program</a>, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and Water for People's <a href="http://www.waterforpeople.org/site/PageNavigator/PlayPumps" target="_blank">PlayPumps Technology</a>. During the MTV broadcast, viewers will be able to text SEND to 90999 to donate $10 to the U.N. Foundation on behalf of "Summit on the Summit." Each donation will send 1,000 liters of clean water to people in need.
</p><p>"MTV has a long history of educating its audience to raise awareness on issues that are important to them," said Dave Sirulnick, Executive Vice President, News and Docs. "More than 1 billion people worldwide do not have access to safe, clean drinking water. By airing this documentary, MTV hopes to mobilize a new generation of young people who may not be aware of this global cause and take action to get involved in helping find solutions to the water crisis."
</p><p><b>Don't miss <a href="http://www.mtv.com/shows/summit_on_the_summit/series.jhtml">"Summit on the Summit: Kilimanjaro,"</a> airing Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on MTV. And find out what you can do to help solve the global water crisis now at the <a href="http://www.summitonthesummit.com" target="_blank">"Summit on the Summit" Web site</a>.</b>

The rapper-turned-mogul -- and part-owner of the Nets -- will be joined by friend and developer Bruce Ratner, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Gov. David Paterson at the construction site.<br />
<br />
Jay, who's used to being treated like a king in his hometown, and the other investors are expected to face protesters who've been challenging the construction of the sports arena as it would evict residents and business owners that already reside on the land. The group Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn are expected to boycott today's ground breaking, along with several locals. <br />
<br />
"I am angry with our so-called political leaders who proudly stand by their abuse of power," Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn spokesman Daniel Goldstein told NBC news.<br />
<br />
The new Barclay Center will be open to the public in 2012.

<p>Mikey: Chris Brown just ain&#8217;t feelin&#8217; the love like he used to and felt the need to send this message to his fans&#8230; (props <a href="http://necolebitchie.com/2010/03/10/chris-brown-needs-help" >NecoleBitchie</a>)</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I ain’t never really did this but right now I need all of my fans help. A lot of radio stations aren’t playing my records. They are not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to. It’s on the fans and what you guys do in your power to bring me back. That’s all I need is you guys and nothing else will do that except for the fans&#8230;.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>(The rest of his message + audio after the jump)</p>
<p><span id="more-13450"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;I don’t know what else to say. It’s nothing else that I can do. I’m doing everything that I need to do. I’m doing me as a person and I’m a better guy.</p>
<p>It’s on ya’ll. My singing and my music I do it for you guys and everything else but it won’t be possible if I’m not relevant on the radio and it wouldn’t be possible for me to be an artist if I don’t have the support. I can’t be an underground mixtape artist. That’s where we are. I just want all my fans to help me. I love ya’ll. Peace&#8221;</p>

<br />
The Chicago MC said that, while the trip was one of the most difficult trials of his life, the biggest difficulty he faced was mental. "It probably is the most difficult thing I've ever done. It wasn't the altitude sickness; it was more so the battle of myself," he explained. "Battling, getting the variables right, working the math out about how much water you're going to drink, how hard you're going to push yourself, how mad you're going to get, how much you're going to think about going home." <br />
