Nicki Minaj Gets 'Romantic' With Drake In 'Moment 4 Life' Video
Don't miss video's premiere Thursday at 7:54 p.m. ET on MTV, followed by a live interview with Minaj.

First Nicki Minaj and Drake got married. Then they got divorced. After that, Drake claimed he wrote his "Un-Thinkable" verse about Nicki. And now, the two Lil Wayne protégés will star in Nicki's "Moment 4 Life" video, premiering Thursday at 7:54 p.m. ET on MTV followed by a live interview with Minaj herself.
The question on everyone's minds now is: Will the sparks fly between the two in the clip?
"People have come to be intrigued about us," Minaj told MTV News from the video's Los Angeles set. "And we're shooting the video together, so I was like, 'There has to be some kind of romantic story line.' So we put a few things in there that we don't give away."
Perhaps the pair will smooch again? During her December concert in New York, Drake made a guest appearance and surprised fans when he planted one on the "Right Thru Me" raptress. Photos of the alleged kiss popped up everywhere afterward, but Drake sported a hooded jacket that concealed his and Nicki's faces when they drew close.
According to Nicki, she and Drake are just friends, which she insists often despite his flirty responses in interviews. "This is someone that I'm gonna hit on the [phone] later today, like, 'What's up,' " she said. "It's a family affair when it's Drake."
Drizzy, on the other hand, has always had something different to say.
"It is [about Minaj], I'm not gonna lie," Drake explained when asked about his verse on Alicia Keys' "Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready)" last year. "The concept came from a conversation that we had, or conversations we have. I wrote it based off two things: Number one, based off that, and then two, based off Alicia and Swizz and their situation, and it just seemed fitting. It was like the perfect concept."
Don't miss the premiere of Nicki Minaj's "Moment 4 Life" video, featuring Drake, Thursday at 7:54 p.m. ET on MTV, followed by a live interview with the Young Money femcee that will continue on MTV.com. If you have questions for Minaj, tweet them with the hashtag #asknicki or upload a video question to Your.MTV.com.

'Jersey Shore' Star Pauly D 'Nervous' About Heading To Italy
'I don't know what gyms are like over there, I don't know what tanning's like,' Pauly tells MTV News.
By James Montgomery

On Tuesday, MTV announced that for the upcoming season of "Jersey Shore," the cast would be hitting the road once again ... only this time, they're heading all the way to Italy.
If you think you're excited about the news, well, you should hear "Shore" star Pauly D talk about the gang's upcoming trip.
"I've never been to Italy, and it's always been a dream of mine," he told MTV News on Tuesday night. "I'm excited to see my roots. I have family in Italy, but I don't speak with them since I don't know the language. My mother still talks to them, though. [And] I know Vinny has family there. But none of us have ever been. It's gonna be fun."
Of course, no voyage of self-discovery is complete without overcoming a few obstacles. So while he's excited, Pauly is also aware that he and his "Shore" mates will probably run into the occasional, uh, cultural issues when they arrive in Italy. But he's more than ready for the challenge.
"I'm nervous, I'm not gonna lie," he laughed. "I don't know what gyms are like over there, I don't know what tanning's like, I don't know the food, and the language — I don't even speak Italian. Maybe I should get a Rosetta Stone or something.
"And they got some nice clubs out there, and the women ... they're real Italian women, you know?" he continued. "Since I don't speak the language, I don't know how I'm going to talk with them. I'm hoping the smile does the trick. The less words the better. I'm looking forward to the challenge."
Despite the cultural differences and the language barrier, Pauly said that he can't wait to start filming the new season — cameras are scheduled to start rolling this spring — mostly because it means he'll get to hit the road with his best friends, which, to him, at least, is the best thing about being on "Jersey Shore."
"I really love being in Seaside [Heights], I love being in Jersey and I love being at home," he said. "But I also love traveling, and with this, I get to travel with my lifelong friends and that's another memory we'll all have together."
Don't miss "Jersey Shore," airing Thursday nights at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.

Charlie Sheen?s Sin City Spending Spree
It?s no secret that he?s a fan of excessive partying and Charlie Sheen reportedly dropped $26,000 on hookers during his recent trip to Las Vegas.
According to Radar, the ?Two-and-a-Half Men? star paid one escort named Ginger $10 grand for four hours of crazy sex.
When she got to the $40,000-a-night Sky Villa at the Palms Casino Resort, Ginger noticed that Sheen was enjoying some nose candy.
A source explained, ?Ginger said Charlie was high on cocaine when she got to the room and continued to do drugs in front of her. He was totally out of it and clearly had been partying all night long."
And apparently Charlie developed a little crush on Ginger. ?Charlie told Ginger this wasn?t just a one night stand and that he plans to reconnect with her during the next time he is in Las Vegas. From whta she has said, she had a very good time with him and she is just his type.?
Besides Ginger, Sheen also plunked down $8,000 each for two other hookers during his stay in Sin City.

Katie Price Confirms Split with Alex Reid
After weeks of rumors and chatter, it is finally confirmed that Katie Price has split from husband Alex Reid.
After only 11 months of marriage, the British model issued a statement admitting their marriage came too quickly and also stated that Alex has become too ?fascinated? with his celebrity status.
In her statement released today (January 18), Price accused her estranged husband of ?changing? from the ?man I fell in love with?.
When the couple started dating in July 2009 - just eight weeks after she split from first husband Peter Andre - Reid was a cagefighter and struggling actor.
Katie is claiming his ?desire to promote himself caused a change in the dynamic of our relationship and contributed to our alienation.?
Reid was spotted moving out of the couple?s Surrey, London?s mansion late last night.

With the new season of "American Idol" premiering Wednesday, you'd think Jennifer Lopez would have enough on her plate. However, the singer/actress is working hard at a full-blown musical comeback as her brand-new single, "On the Floor," featuring Pitbull, premiered early Tuesday morning (January 18) on Ryan Seacrest's radio show.
In the track produced by RedOne, Lopez commands the dance floor over a techno beat, which incorporates a sample of Kaoma's worldwide hit "Lambada." "If you go hard, you gotta get on the floor/ If you're a party freak, then step on the floor/ If you're an animal, then tear up the floor/ Break a sweat on the floor/ Yeah, we work on the floor," she sings.
Jenny fans got their early fix when the demo for the Pitbull-assisted tune hit the Internet on Friday. Later that day, Seacrest sent Lopez fans into a frenzy when he revealed he would debut the finalized version of the track this week. Lopez is expected to make a radio appearance with her "Idol" co-star on his radio show Wednesday. "Fun talking to you on the carpet last night ... look forward to catching up Wednesday morning on air!!!" she tweeted.
J. Lo has been teasing fans about her collaboration with super-producer RedOne (Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" and "Bad Romance") via Twitter. "I see u @RedOne_Official! We're making BIG things happen 'On the Floor' this new year!!!" she wrote last week.
Back in November, RedOne spoke to Blackbook magazine about his studio sessions with the singer, saying, "Musically, I'm trying to combine all the elements that [make] her who she is. We connected, and it was easy to work together. She's in another headspace. She's very positive and content. She knows what she wants to do."
In addition to "On the Floor," the entertainer's viral clip for her buzz track "Good Hit" also surfaced online. In the minute-and-a-half clip, the Latin bombshell instructs her all-female class on the latest in "Advanced Fierceology/ Work It Out 101."
What do you think of J. Lo's new tune? Share your reviews in the comments!

Robert Pattinson Gets 'Hassled Too Much,' Garrett Hedlund Says

Garrett Hedlund has already scored some unforgettable memories on the set of his Beat Generation flick "On the Road," but getting heartthrob tips from co-star Kristen Stewart's rumored flame Robert Pattinson is not among them.
MTV News caught up with the "Country Strong" actor on the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday (January 16), and while he admitted that they chopped it up when Pattinson popped by the "Road" set to visit his lady friend, he didn't score any gems on how to handle his budding screen-idol status.
"You're trying to milk me for great little things; I got nothing on it," Hedlund shrugged to MTV News' Josh Horowitz. "He'd come out to set a couple times and visit. It was great."
The "Tron Legacy" actor had fun hanging out with the world's most famous onscreen vampire, but added that he sympathized with all the attention Pattinson has to grapple with constantly.
"People just sort of hassle him around too much," he said. "He's a good guy, real good guy, and he gets a lot of people following him around. It's not an easy thing."
Aside from seeing the effects of "Twilight" mania up close, Hedlund recently dished that filming "Road" had some trippy moments, including the last night of production when the actor spent time with 89-year-old Carolyn Cassady, the real-life inspiration for the book's character Camille.
"She was just so wonderful and so genuine to all of us and so happy to be there. At the end of the dinner, me and Sam Riley ... walked her hand in hand up to Vesuvio's, the bar where all these guys used to drink at. I remember the sole of her shoe had sort of come undone and started flapping, but I took off my boot and took off one of the socks and put it over the shoe so it intacted the sole. So we kept on walking," he said. "It's such an incredible, mind-blowing night."

Slaughterhouse's Joe Budden Explains Delay In Signing With Eminem's Shady Records
'Very early on, the four of us agreed that Shady would be the best place for the group to be,' Budden says.
By Paul Cantor

On the heels of the announcement on Wednesday that Eminem has signed Slaughterhouse to his Shady Records imprint, members of the group are beginning to speak out about the deal. Crooked I has already alluded to Shady giving the group a "bigger stage," and Royce Da 5'9 summed up their collective feelings in two words: "We're excited." And now, in a video interview with rap website Real Talk NY on Thursday, group member Joe Budden weighed in.
"This group was put together for a reason, and we had a lot of things in common," said the Jersey City-bred MC, poised in front of a mixing console in an undisclosed recording studio. "And we were passionate about a lot of things that it just so happened that Eminem [was] just as passionate about."
According to Budden, the deal with Shady Records took "a little over a year." Typically, recording contracts don't take nearly that long to hammer out. He attributed the length of the process to members of Slaughterhouse already being industry veterans with separate careers, and the fact that their 2009 self-titled LP sold well, perhaps giving the group leverage in negotiating their contract.
"We didn't send a demo in," he said. "We was four pretty much established artists that have been around for a little bit so ... we put out an album that did well, that sold 85 percent of what we shipped."
Despite how long the deal took, Budden said Shady was the label Slaughterhouse wanted to align itself with ever since the group was consummated in 2008.
"Very early on, the four of us agreed that Shady would be the best place for the group to be," he said, "before our first album was finished."
In very unspecific terms, Budden mentioned Royce Da 5'9's past relationship with Eminem being a factor in the deal getting done. The Detroit natives collaborated often in their early careers, but had a falling out in the early aughts. Royce famously warred with Eminem's D12 crew on countless tracks over the years, until finally reconciling with Slim Shady in 2008.
"It was way too much sh-- that went into it," Joe said of the Shady signing. "It was very deep."
On camera, visibly weary of talking about what may have slowed the deal down, Budden instead tried to focus on the positive.
"Just the fact that Em is so passionate about the project," he said. "It's one thing to get a record deal, and it's one thing to get a record deal with someone who gets it. And he gets it. So it's something we're all excited about and we can't wait to get in."

When Mystikal began working on his comeback album last year, the New Orleans rapper recruited his fellow hometown lyricist Lil Wayne. Along the way, the former No Limit star also joined forces with Cash Money expatriate Mannie Fresh. And according to Fresh, he's hoping to inject some Bayou flavor into Mystikal's project.
"We finishing up his album and the thing of it is, I just want it to be a traditional New Orleans album," the producer told MTV News. "I just want to reach back and get New Orleans artists, the way we used to put it down. There's no disrespect to no other artist, but I don't feel like we have to go outside the circle. We got so much talent in our city. I would like to get some of that Neville [family] stuff on there and [Trombone Shorty]. But that's what it is. I want to bring it back to where it started from."
The project currently has no release date or major-label home, but fans should expect the collection to feature Mystikal's dance-floor flare as well as a more reflective side as well. Last year at this time, the rapper was being released from prison after serving six years on a sexual battery and extortion charge.
"Finally. Six years, that ain't no walk in the park," Mystikal told us a few months after his release. "I had a lot of time to do a lot of growing, reflecting and thinking and stuff like that."

After confirming on Thursday (January 13) that he was entering rehab, reportedly for substance abuse issues, Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean assured fans that his treatment will not affect the band's upcoming summer tour with the New Kids on the Block.
McLean said in a statement, "For personal reasons, I've checked myself into a rehab clinic. With 2011 being a busy year for Backstreet, I want to be healthy and perform and sing for people at my very best and happiest. None of this will affect our current tour plans and I look forward to seeing everyone really soon!" He added, "Thank you for all of your support and respecting my family and friends privacy during this time."
NKOTBSB are set to hit the road beginning June 2 for a show at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. And the tour, as of now, is slated to run through July 30 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
McLean first hinted about his health issues this past Sunday in a few tweets. "Thank u all for my bday wishes and tweets:)! Its gonna be a great year! I love u all and wish me luck! I start my sober journey tomm! Ttfn!" he wrote on his Twitter page. A day later, he added, "Hey all wish me luck! This is gonna be an amazing year for me and all around me! I love u all and appreciate all the love and support"
TMZ reported that sources close to the pop star say he has been "out of control" lately. According to those sources, McLean was under the influence during much of the Backstreet Boys' cruise last month. He entered rehab, his third time in a decade, reportedly because his issues were affecting the planning stages of the NKOTBSB tour.

Brad and Angelina's big donation
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are known for their generosity, but they went above and beyond for Christmas. While vacationing in Namibia, Africa, the couple donated $2 million to the Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary. The family was there for an "adventure" for a total of two weeks. The sanctuary cares for orphaned and injured animals that are unable to take care of themselves in the wild, and it also offers a luxury resort that donates its proceeds to conservation projects. Angelina gave birth to Shiloh in Namibia in 2006 and in December, "We want Shiloh to grow up with an understanding of her country of birth."

David Nelson, 'Ozzie And Harriet' Star, Dead

In the 1950s and '60s the Nelsons were one of the most popular families on television, but on Tuesday the last surviving castmember of "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," David Nelson, died at the age of 74. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Nelson passed away in his Century City, California, home after battling complications from colon cancer.
In an age before reality TV, Nelson was one of the first true reality stars. Appearing alongside his actual family in the long-running sitcom that starred his parents, Ozzie and Harriet, and younger brother and future music/film star Ricky, David Nelson got his start on the radio in 1949 with the original incarnation of the sitcom, which his parents had launched five years earlier.
The show made the transition to television in 1952, beginning a quirky run as a program that Time.com described as blurring "the line between fact and fiction." At one point during the series' time on the air, David and Ricky's actual wives were brought on to play their fictional spouses. In another twist, David's character was sent off to college and joined a fraternity at the same time he did those things in real life. And, as he would for most of his younger brother's life, David played something of a second banana to Ricky on the program, letting him have the best laugh lines and contenting himself with being a part of the family ensemble.
If anything, "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" has been lampooned and criticized over the years for depicting a family that was almost too perfect, creating a suburban ideal that few families, even the Nelson's themselves, could ever hope to achieve.
David Nelson appeared in a string of films during the show's heyday, including "Peyton Place," "The Big Circus" and "Day of the Outlaw," and continued to act sporadically when "Ozzie and Harriet" ended its record TV run in 1966. He was last seen on the big screen playing the father of Traci Lords' character, Wanda, in director John Waters' 1950s spoof film "Cry-Baby" in 1990.
Surviving David are his wife, five children and seven grandkids. Brother Ricky died in a plane crash on New Year's Eve in 1985.
