With so much accomplished in 2010, Justin Bieber has certainly set the bar high for 2011. But the teen singer is already gearing up for next year. Bieber will not only release his much-anticipated 3-D flick, "Never Say Never", but he has also teased that he'd like to release an album of all-new material sometime later next year.

His mentor, Usher, thinks that at this point, the sky's the limit.

"As far as music and entertainment, that's the beginning," Usher told MTV News at Sunday's AMAs, where Bieber performed and took home four awards.

"There's so much more in store for the future, or at least there's a ton of things we can do and will, and with the support of his fans who will continue to just grow and grow and grow."

At 16, Bieber has accomplished what few manage with many more years in the music business, but Usher said he wants to ensure that Bieber doesn't stop enjoying it all as his popularity continues to grow and his schedule gets busier.

Asked what he admires most about Justin, Usher said, "His excitement and innocence in it. And I don't mean that in a light way because I think that he's absolutely enjoying every moment of it, as any young man his age would, but in a different way because [of] the hard work that has gone in and led to the dream that has become a reality. And every time you have an opportunity do something incredible, I tell him to do his best and be conscious that what you're doing today should last forever and eternity."

Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman Talk Rehab

He?s been clean and sober for awhile now, but back in 2006 Keith Urban found himself in rehab- just four months after marrying Nicole Kidman.

The ?I Wanna Kiss a Girl? singer explained that at the time he was fearful that his demons would pull the curtains on his fledgling marriage.

"[I thought], 'Surely let's give it a few years so we've got some solidity, because this kind of thing could tear us apart. This could just destroy us.'"

Urban shared that Kidman was the one to stage the intervention. "It was really a profound moment in so many ways. The way in which Nic handled that moment was just perfect... Everything was just designed, I believe, for that moment to fuse us together."

"I had to make a decision which road I was going to take, once and for all. I'd been at that crossroads before and always taken the wrong road."

"I look back now and realize Nic has taught me so much and brought so much into my life and opened my eyes in so many ways...[This is] the best place I've ever been."

Nicole added, "I think marriage is about, every day, trying to make it better and working through things and when things are tough, saying, 'I'm going to come to you and talk.? We're just very tight, and we stay really tight."

Ke$ha 'Blows Some Stuff Up' For 'We R Who We R' Video

Good-time girl says video for her first Cannibal single is 'a little bit sexy time.'

By now, you've no doubt downloaded the song and gazed longingly at photos from the set of the video. But despite all of that, you probably still have no idea what to expect from Ke$ha's "We R Who We R" clip.

And neither did we ... so when MTV News caught up with Ke$ha backstage at the 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards in Madrid, we decided to ask her for a quick synopsis of the video, the first she's releasing off her upcoming Cannibal repack. And from the sound of things, the clip is probably going to get a rise out of certain folks.

"This video is a little bit 'sexy time,' I'm not gonna lie, it may induce a boner or two," Ke$ha laughed. "I'm not sure, [you'll have to] report back. But I'm hoping for at least one."

We'll definitely let you know. Anyway, aside from all that sexiness, there's another aspect to the "We R" video that Ke$ha is equally excited about: the sheer amount of explosions she managed to pack into the thing.

"[For] this video, I kinda thought, 'I should be blowing things up,' " she smiled. "So we closed down downtown Los Angeles and, I mean, I'm not going to give away all of it, but I do blow some stuff up."

Sweet. And if small outfits and large-caliber explosives aren't enough to compel you to watch, well, Ke$ha still has one more trick up her sleeve for the "We R" video: There's gonna be plenty of beer on hand, too.

"Look, it's got bombs, boners, babes, boobs and beer ... always beer," she said. "What more do you want?"

Are you looking forward to Ke$ha's new video? Let us know in the comments!

Akon Disagrees With Will.i.am Over Michael Jackson's Posthumous Release

'These records would have come out whether he was alive or dead,' 'Kon says.
By James Dinh


Michael Jackson and Akon

As with many other posthumous releases, the forthcoming Michael Jackson album, Michael, is already creating controversy. After will.i.am told Entertainment Weekly that he thought it was "disrespectful" to release the collection of previously unheard material from the King of Pop, fellow collaborator Akon struck back.

'Kon, whose "Hold My Hand" collaboration with Jackson dropped on Monday as the LP's first single, insists that releasing new music is actually a way of honoring the icon.

"I think that's probably will's opinion," Akon told TMZ of the Black Eyed Peas frontman's statement. "Me personally, I think that's keeping his legacy alive, if you ask me. I don't see anything disrespectful about it. He got his people taking care of it. We all did records that we actually worked on together on the album. These records would have come out whether he was alive or dead, so I think this actually to helps keep his legacy alive. I honestly disagree with that."

The hip-hop star explained that he hopes "Hold My Hand" will reach "another level" and be properly distributed as he and the Jackson team had originally planned.

Last week, will.i.am slammed the project, suggesting that there's no honor in the upcoming release, due in stores December 14. "Whoever put it out and is profiting off of it, I want to see how cold they are," he told EW. "To say that what [Michael] contributed during his life wasn't enough. He just wasn't any ordinary artist. He was a hands-on person. To me it's disrespectful. There's no honoring."

Not only did Akon call his sessions with MJ "amazing," but he also gushed that it was nothing short of a dream come true saying, "He was a very incredible person, very creative. That was really a dream come true on my end. I enjoyed every moment of it."

Do you agree with Akon or will.i.am on the new Michael Jackson album? Share your thoughts below!

Lady Gaga Promises Fans "Album of the Decade"

Doing quite the good job of building up hype for her upcoming album, Lady Gaga revealed in Poland that the new work will feature somewhere around 20 tracks.

Playing a gig in Gdansk, the "Alejandro" singer went on to boast that she may very well earn "album of the decade" accolades as a result of her music's greatness.

"I promise you, I'll never let you down. And not for nothing: The album's finished and it's f---ing really good," Gaga told the audience. "So whatever this is, whatever you just did for all of us ... I promise to give you the greatest album of this decade, just for you."

A bit more chatty than usual, the 24-year-old seemingly took a swipe at fellow pop stars by saying, "The funny thing is that some people have reduced freedom to a brand. They think that it's trendy now to be free. They think it's trendy to be excited about your identity. When in truth, there is nothing trendy about Born This Way."

Back to her own project, Gaga dished on the length of her album, "I'm still deciding, the album could be longer than you would imagine ... I'm not sure. I can't decide, really, because I think that times are different, you know. It used to be kind of a faux pas to put out too much music on your album, but I feel like you guys deserve all of the records I do, 'cause I work hard on them. So who knows, you might get, like, 20 new Gaga songs."

DWTS: Jennifer Grey wins the trophy

DWTS1124_jennifer.jpg
If anything, this season of Dancing With the Stars has been controversial. Whether you believe Bristol Palin deserved a place in the finals or not, there?s no denying she earned it with hard work, improvement and dedication. Following an all-star opening that saw the majority of season 11?s contestants return, (Audrina Patridge was absent due to illness and Michael Bolton is on tour in England) the three remaining couples were left to battle it out with their final two dances for the night.

Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer kicked off the proceedings, scoring 26 out of 30 for their tango and 28 points for their instant cha cha. Bristol and Mark Ballas continued their respectable scores, receiving 25 for a tango and 27 for their instant cha cha. But it was Jennifer Grey, whose time on the show has been fraught with injury, who revealed early in the evening that she had ruptured a disc in her spine. However, not dancing was never an option and Jennifer and partner Derek Hough scored another perfect 30 for their Viennese waltz and another 28 points for their instant cha cha.

With the dances done all that was left was to reveal the winner. Sadly for Bristol and Mark, it would not be them as the news was given they would be the first couple eliminated. ?I feel I accomplished a lot,? Bristol said after the news. ?I am just so thankful for Mark as he started from scratch with this whole thing.?

As the spotlight turned to Kyle and Jennifer, both waited nervously to hear who would be this season?s champions. Finally, host Tom Bergeron revealed it was Jennifer and Derek. ?I was blank,? said a shocked Jennifer after the show. ?I was in a surrender moment. It?s a great gift to be a part of a show that gives so many people so much joy, that?s what it is.?

There were no hard feelings from Kyle and Lacey either. ?Jennifer worked extremely hard and probably went through the most on this show ? so many ups and downs,? beamed Kyle. ?And for us to get second next to Jennifer is so awesome,? added Lacey.

Usher Dazzles On The VMA Stage With 'DJ' And 'OMG'

Ush combined his legendary dance skills with spectacular special effects.
By Rochell D. Thomas

Call it what you will: talent, swag, skills. But one thing's true about Usher Terry Raymond IV: When he steps on the dance floor, some mysterious thing comes out of him and puts the G in groove. After he was tapped to perform at the 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards, executive producer Dave Sirulnick challenged Usher to "show why you're king," and the 31-year-old Grammy winner didn't disappoint.

As predicted by the lucky few who got a peek at Thursday's practice performance for his hit "OMG," Ush pulled off moves that would make the late great Michael Jackson jealous in a mammoth stage production that included more special-effects bells and whistles than a summer blockbuster.

Usher opened the performance with "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love," perched two flights above the stage on a ledge surrounded by blinding green laser lights. Then he slid, with the help of barely visible wires and mounts, down a flight, all the while popping and locking. When the father of two finally ticked his way down to stage level, he was surrounded by an army of dancers also clad in black suits with white stripes designed to toss and catch special effect lights.

Directed by Anthony Mandler, Usher's "OMG" clip earned Best Male Video, Best Dance Music Video and Best Choreography Moonman nominations. During the pre-show, Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" beat it in the Best Dance category, where Raymond was, for many, the lead contender.

If Usher was disappointed, he didn't let it show. When he launched the "OMG" portion of his performance, the stage seemed to disappear, as red laser lights moved forward in blinding configurations spelling out O.M.G. and Usher's name. More dancers lowered from the ceiling on Cirque du Soleil-esque contraptions, dipping in and out of the red beams. Such a 3-D light display could probably have been seen from the moon, if it weren't for the roof of the Nokia Theatre.

Usher ended his set standing, head back, with his arms outstretched in the Jesus pose. He didn't say a word. Didn't need to.

The Moonmen have all been handed out and the stars have gone home, but there's plenty of 2010 MTV Video Music Awards news, interviews, behind-the-scenes scoop, party reports and more still to come, so keep it locked on MTVNews.com.

Irina Shayk's Nude GQ Spain Controversy

Making for one of the steamiest mag spreads of the season, Irina Shayk showed off her beautiful looks in the December 2010 issue of GQ Spain magazine.

On newsstands now, the Russian model stripped down for the lucky photog landing the gig - though it has since stirred up a bit of controversy with Miss Shayk's camp.

Claiming that she never posed nude - alleging a bit of airbrushing - Shayk's Elite modeling agency director Gael Marie said, "Supermodel Irina Shayk is the victim of 'photoshop' and breach of contract over photo approval in GQ Spain. The Intimissimi ambassador dawns the cover in an Intimissimi lingerie body suit but unfortunately was photoshopped to appear naked in 3 images of the 14 page spread."

Threatening legal action after GQ Spain failed to consult with Irina as stated in the contract, Gael added, "Ms. Shayk was not nude and did not approve these images. Irina Shayk NEVER saw the images, cover or caption that was used in GQ Spain."

Ke$ha Loses Her Mind On 'Blow'

Latest electro-dance track from Cannibal hits the Net.

Ke$ha is ready to party again. The latest track from Cannibal, "Blow," has hit the Internet, the fourth song from the November 22 EP to do so.

So what do fans get this time around? Well, Ke$ha kicks off the dark, electro track with a big laugh and a command to "party." Razor-edged synths kick in over a super-thumping beat as the singer and her pals, who happen to be "pretty and sick" and "young and bored," get ready to dance in a crash pad that has "dirt and glitter" covering the floor.

Ke$ha's Auto-Tuned yodeling comes over the beat as she proclaims, "This place about to blow," during the song's scream-along party-anthem chorus. The song has many of the elements of a Ke$ha tune — carpe diem attitude and grinding beats — but it also shows the darker side of the singer with lyrics like: "We get what we want/ We do what you don't." The song's mantra is pretty much summed up in one of the song's choice lines: "It's time to lose your mind and let the crazy out."

Ke$ha is a maneater on "Cannibal," empowers her fans on "We R Who We R" and disses a potential lover on the grimy track "Sleazy."

"This year has been carnivorous and life-changing. I have my rowdy, gorgeous fans to thank for taking me on the ride of a lifetime," the pop star said in a statement. "My only goal with this record is to keep them dancing. The songs on Cannibal were made to inspire people to ignore any hate or judgment and be themselves unapologetically. It's the perfect companion to Animal and I hope you guys like it. And if you don't like it — bite me."

DWTS finale: Just two dances left!

DWTS_jennifer1123.jpg
There are just two dances left before this season?s winner of Dancing With the Stars is crowned and after last night?s performances, the jury is still out on who will win: Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough, Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer or Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas. Jennifer and Derek finished at the top of the leaderboard (with a perfect 60 out of 60) for their pasa doble and energized freestyle that paid homage to Dirty Dancing. While everyone expected a dance to ?The Time Of My Life,? Jennifer explained on air that she wanted to do something fresh with Derek.

?What was so fun was we had a nod to it [Dirty Dancing] and it was like guess what? That was Baby, this is now,? Jennifer revealed after the show. Despite a perfect score, and the possibility of winning the whole thing, Jennifer is not dusting a spot for the mirror ball trophy just yet. ?I don?t think of that,? she laughs. ?It?s bad juju.? One thing is for sure. Jennifer accomplished what she set out to do with the show - make her daughter proud. ?I think she is pretty fond of me at the moment,? she smiles. ?She loves the show and has been an incredibly sweet supportive kid, so understanding. When I say, ?sorry, I just want to cuddle up and watch a movie with you or just hang out,? she says, ?it?s okay mom, I?ll be waiting for you when you are done.?? And after tonight?s finale, win or lose, Jennifer has family and not dancing on her mind. ?I am invigorated to lay down, do nothing but cook for my family,? she tells In Touch. ?Just be with my kid and husband.?

Alicia Keys has proven to be as selfless in real life as she is in song.

The singer held her 8th annual Keep a Child Alive Black Ball event in New York on Thursday night. The fundraiser brought out Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Usher, Jay Sean, Janelle Monae, Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston and more.

Jay-Z and Keys' husband, Swizz Beatz, performed "On to the Next One," and Jay later performed "Empire State of Mind." Monae also hit the stage, as did Keys and Sade, who performed a duet, "Love Is Stronger Than Pride."

"It's my heart and soul," Keys told MTV News about the organization she co-founded. "Since the beginning, we've been very driven to do incredible work. I'm proud to show what four to five women who are very dedicated can do."

The organization benefits children and families who have been affected by AIDS but can't afford to purchase medicine; the event reportedly helped raise $2.4 million.

This year, Keep a Child Alive introduced the "Buy Life" T-shirt. The shirt features a large barcode on the garment; donors can buy the shirt and scan the code with their smart phones to make a donation to the charity. Every time the code is scanned by a phone, a donation goes through. Ryan Seacrest, Kim Kardashian and Katie Holmes are among the celebrity spokespeople appearing in ads for the shirt.

"It's like a dream to me to be among these people singing and performing, and opening people's eyes to what Keep a Child Alive can do," Keys said.
