Leo DiCaprio & Blake Lively's Weekend of Togetherness

Making the most of their weekend together, Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively were spotted out and about in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (August 7).

The much-talked about duo, who continue to fuel speculation surrounding the depth of their relationship, opted for casual clothing for their sunny stroll - with the 23-year-old "Gossip Girl" actress wearing a straw hat, loose-fitting printed top and nude sandals while the "Titanic" hunk paired a Boston ball cap with a blue t-shirt.

Following the twosome's afternoon lunch date, Miss Lively glammed it up for the 2011 Teen Choice Awards, hitting the red carpet in a super-cute bright orange dress and leopard print heels.

Blake was once again a fan favorite at the annual ceremony, walking away with the choice award for TV actress in a drama.

Darren Criss: Teen Choice Awards Breakthrough Star!

Bringing his infectious smile to the annual ceremony, Darren Cross made his way to the 2011 Teen Choice Awards in Universal City, CA on Sunday (August 7).

The 24-year-old "Glee" star showed off his snazzy style as he hit the Gibson Amphitheatre red carpet, wearing a silver suit jacket, purple tie and dark blue jeans.

Looking to make one of his many appearances in the evening's spotlight, Darren took the stage alongside co-star Cory Montieth to accept the night's Choice TV Comedy award while also winning the Choice Breakthrough Star honors.

The hit Fox show, which could take home as many as nine surfboards, ranks as the second highest nominated production at this year's event, following "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," who earned a whopping 13 nods.

Marc Anthony "Begging" to Get Jennifer Lopez Back?

Marc Anthony "Begging" to Get Jennifer Lopez Back?

Jennifer Lopez seems to be doing just fine without Marc Anthony -- but not vice versa, according to Us Weekly. A source tells the magazine that Anthony isn't coping well with the end of his seven-year-marriage -- and that he's been taking his frustration out on his soon-to-be-ex wife.

"His mood shifts from blaming her to begging her to take him back to telling her she is destroying his life," claims the insider.

The source, who is reportedly close to Lopez, adds that Anthony is being equally uncooperative with divorce negotiations. "He's being difficult on every little point," claims the source. "He wants to prolong things so she reconsiders."

Frankly, it doesn't seem like Lopez will be reconsidering any time soon. In her new Vanity Fair interview, the singer-actress-American Idol judge says that she had to "love myself enough to walk away" from the dysfunctional marriage.

"Sometimes we don't realize that we are compromising ourselves," she explains. "To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself -- if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me."

And right now, Lopez seems to be thriving solo. She's been busying filming her new movie, What to Expect When You're Expecting, in Atlanta; she's debuting her new clothing line in O: The Oprah Magazine; and she's reportedly getting a $20 million paycheck for the next season of Idol. Plus she's been surrounded by friends and family since the breakup, as her extravagant Miami birthday party proved. Lopez may not have a man in her life -- but she really does seem like she has it all.

Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in 'The Dark Knight Rises' Photo

The first photo of Anne Hathaway from the upcoming Batman film The Dark Knight Rises has arrived online -- and it's pretty safe to say that her Catwoman won't so much meow or purr affectionately as she will roar.

Unlike Michelle Pfeiffer's slinky Catwoman, who wore head-to-toe shiny leather and sure enjoyed licking herself, or Halle Berry's scantily clad version, who probably would have been more at home at an S&M club than fighting crime on the streets of Gotham, Hathaway's feline femme fatale looks like she means 100-percent, no-B.S. business.

Gone are the pointy ears and cartoonish costumes of Catwomen past, here replaced with a utilitarian black Spandex outfit and some sleek identity-concealing shades (her alter-ego is the mild-mannered Selina Kyle). In truth, wearing that outfit and straddling two tons of Bat-bike (the Caped Crusader's version of a Harley), Hathaway looks more like Batgirl than Catwoman. In other words, she seems considerably more realistic than previous iterations of the character -- and way more badass.

We'd expect nothing less from director Christopher Nolan, who transformed the superhero movie into something dark, edgy and real-world-based with 2005's Batman Begins and raised the genre's bar to an all-time high with 2008's The Dark Knight.

While plot details for The Dark Knight Rises are being kept under tight wraps, the teaser trailer and various casting announcements have revealed a bit about the story. In Nolan's third -- and perhaps final -- Batman film, Christian Bale's Dark Knight comes out of retirement to face the hulking villain Bane (Tom Hardy), who -- rumor has it -- springs all of Gotham's baddies from Arkham Asylum to unleash their fury on the city. (That'd explain the crumbling buildings in the teaser poster.)

Other than that, we know that Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman return as loyal butler Alfred, gadget-man Lucious Fox and trustworthy Police Commissioner Gordon, respectively. They'll be joined by franchise newcomers (and costars in Nolan's last movie, Inception) Marion Cotillard as Wayne Enterprises board member Miranda Tate and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as beat cop John Blake.

No word yet on how Hathaway's Selina Kyle/Catwoman fits into the picture, but we're betting that she and Cotillard's Tate will be duking it out for Bruce Wayne/Batman's affections. Bring on the catfight!

The next -- and final? -- Batman film takes wing in theaters July 20, 2012.

Lady Gaga Calls Terry Richardson Book 'Completely Unfiltered'

'I didn't hold anything back,' Gaga tells MTV News about upcoming photo book.
By James Montgomery

Late last month, Lady Gaga announced she was teaming with photographer/provocateur Terry Richardson to release a hefty coffee-table book, one that features more than 350 photos of the singer taken by Richardson over the course of 10 months.

The two have worked together — with appropriately pulse-quickening results — several times in the past, most notably a September 2010 cover shoot for Vogue Hommes Japan that served as a sneak peek of the now-infamous meat dress she wore to the 2010 VMAs, and a clothing-optional campaign for Supreme in February 2011.

But if you thought those shots were shocking, well, get ready for the duo's book, which, as Gaga told MTV News on Monday night in New York, will push things even further.

"Terry was with me for [almost] a whole year, and, gosh, I didn't hold anything back from Terry ... he was with me every minute, every moment," she said. "It's completely unfiltered. He has photographs of me waking up in the morning, brushing my teeth, in the bathroom, in the bathtub, the shower. And the thing about Terry, if you know anything about his photography, is that nothing is staged; I mean, that's sort of what he is renowned for. He can get you to do things and he can capture things that no one can ever capture.

"What I love so much about Terry is that he thinks everything is so beautiful. I'm always, 'Oh Terry, get out of here,' and he's like, 'Oh, it's so beautiful, let me just shoot it,' " she continued. "I felt so comfortable with Terry. I love him so much. He's a really close friend, and I feel really honored that he traveled [with me]."

Gaga said the self-titled book (which hits stores November 22) not only showcases her whirlwind life — it follows her from the main stage of Lollapalooza to her Maine rally to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" to the final shows of her Monster Ball Tour in Mexico City — but the lives of her ultra-dedicated fans too. That was as much a goal as the unfettered access was. And, from the sound of things, the book manages to accomplish both.

"My favorite thing, honestly, is that [Richardson] loved the fans. He shot the fans the same way he shot me: with no pretense. No 'Well, she's put out records and they haven't.' None of that. The music was all of ours," she said. "He would come backstage and he would say, 'Oh my God, the fans!' And I'd say, 'I know ... I know what you just photographed.' And he'd say, 'Baby, wow!' And then he'd film me, like, peeing in a cup and, like, ridiculous things."

Usher To Donate Gadhafi Money To Charity

'I will be donating all of my personal proceeds...to various human rights organizations,' singer says of concert linked to Libyan dictator.

R&B superstar Usher announced Friday (March 4) that he was donating to various charities proceeds from appearing at a private event at St. Barts linked to Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, according to a statement made to the Associated Press.

The Grammy award winner's renouncement comes after similar announcements from singers Mariah Carey, Nelly Furtado, and Beyoncé, all of whom were revealed to have performed at private concerts linked to the Middle Eastern leader, who has faced open revolt and major political uprisings since February.

"I am sincerely troubled to learn about the circumstances surrounding the Nikki Beach St. Bart's event that took place on New Year's Eve 2009," Usher said of the concert, at which he appeared alongside Beyoncé but did not perform. "I will be donating all of my personal proceeds from that event to various human rights organizations."

Usher has already begun the process, having made a donation to Amnesty International, the AP reports. The exact size of the donation is not known.

The New Year's Eve gig was reportedly for Moammar's fourth son Muastassim, who an unnamed music industry source told MTV News has a history of throwing lavish parties "jammed" with supermodels.

Beyoncé, who sang at the event, donated all proceeds from her performance to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, established in the wake of the Haitian earthquake.

"All monies paid to Beyoncé for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St. Barts on New Year's Eve 2009, including the commissions paid to her booking agency, were donated to the earthquake relief efforts for Haiti over a year ago," the "Halo" singer's publicist said in a statement to The Huffington Post. "Once it became known that the third-party promoter was linked to the Qaddafi family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause."

Singer Nelly Furtado tweeted February 28 that she plans to make similar amends.

"In 2007, I received 1million$ from the Gadhafi clan to perform a 45 min. show for guests at a hotel in Italy," she tweeted. "I am going to donate the $."

The leader of Libya since a successful military coup in 1969, Gadhafi has reportedly lost control of much of his country as a result of widespread uprisings. The United Nations voted unanimously to refer the dictator to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.

Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga Support Berry Family After Tragic Accident

Uncle of orphaned, injured Texas children calls outreach 'amazing.'
By Jocelyn Vena

On July 3, the Berry family suffered an incredible tragedy. Parents Joshua and Robin Berry were killed in a car crash, while brothers Peter, 9, and Aaron, 8, were paralyzed, possibly for life, and remain hospitalized. Their younger sister, Willa, 6, was also injured, but suffered only broken bones. In the weeks since the crash in Texas, celebrities have been doing their part to help raise money for the care of the three young children.

Using the power of social media, everyone from Justin Bieber and Britney Spears to Lady Gaga and Usher have asked their fans to "Show Your Hearts" with donations at showyourhearts.org and via text message (texting BERRY to 85944 donates $10). Their call to arms has meant the world to Matt Berry, the kids' uncle.

"My wife had this family member in the Justin Bieber camp, and when the accident happened ... they reached out to us and asked how they could help," he told MTV News on Thursday. "So, it's been pretty much organic from their reaching out. Right after the accident, he was asking for their names and praying with his mom for the kids. It's not something we expected would happen, obviously.

"So, my understanding is that he wanted to do something to help, and the best way they could help was to create awareness," he continued. "They have a lot of friends and contacts. And then, of course, once their campaigns started going, it looked like a lot of people joined it because I think everyone had some sort of feeling of empathy."

The family is still mending: Peter and Aaron's "lifelong conditions" have been amplified by the loss of their parents; meanwhile Willa is still trying to come to terms with the incident.

Matt Berry said of all the public support they've received has "definitely helped." "Anything that goes to help the kids in their predicament [helps]. I don't know how long it will continue. I'm not someone who likes to be in the public eye, so it's a little bit awkward, but it's amazing.

"It's a little bit overwhelming," he added, but he said that right now, the family is taking it "day by day" as they deal with the aftermath of such a tremendously tragic turn of events.

"If it was up to us, we'd pray that they were able to stand up in a couple of weeks and walk out of the hospital, but the likelihood of that happening is low," he said, adding that the boys are readying for rehab to try to heal in any small way. "There's been a lot of people supporting us, and that's huge. The ultimate dream is if in their lifetime, there's enough momentum to figure something out and fix spinal-cord injuries. We've got two of them that need something special."

'Glee' Season Finale Exclusive: Listen To 'Yeah!' Here

An a cappella girl group covers Usher's hit for Nationals in next week's episode.

During this week's episode of "Glee", the gang from New Directions took a big risk when they decided they would compete in Nationals by singing their own original songs. Well, the stakes just got a little higher.

MTV News has an exclusive first listen to one of the rival groups who will go up against the McKinley High glee club in New York City during next Tuesday's (May 24) big season two finale. In the upcoming episode, an all-female a cappella group sings Usher's 2004 club and radio smash "Yeah!," which may have the Nationals judges saying just that.

Singers replace synthesizers for the four-note melody that repeats throughout the song, and lead vocalists RaVaughn Brown and Missi Hale match the high energy that Usher, Lil Jon and Ludacris brought to the track.

Granted, a few things have been tweaked in the version for the tween-friendly show, including the length (the original is over four minutes long, while the "Glee" version comes in at three and a half minutes) and the tune's instructions to "Take that and rewind it back ... got the rhythm make ya booty go."

Also, instead of Ludacris' verse, "We want a lady in the street/ And a freak in the bed," one girl sings, "You know you want a kiss on the lips, old red." The line, "Ludacris fill cups like double D's" has also been cut from the song.

But, it's not all PG. At one point in the girls' rendition of the track, they page homage to Lil Jon's crunk hit "Get Low," singing, "From the windows to the walls" and even Mystikal's booty-happy single "Shake Ya Ass," when they urge, "Show me whatcha' workin' with."

At the 2005 Grammy Awards, the power trio of Usher, Lil Jon and Ludacris won the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Yeah!" But, will the song bring the same sort of fortune to this girl group at Nationals? Or will the glory all belong to New Directions this time? Gleeks will still have to wait a few more days to find out.

The "Glee" season finale airs Tuesday at 9 p.m. on Fox, while "Glee": The Music, Volume 6, including the three new original songs "Light Up the World," "Pretending" and "As Long as You're There," will be available on Monday.

What do you think of this a cappella group's version of "Yeah!"? Let us know in the comments section below!
