<P>It's been a long time coming for Lil Twist. The Young Money rap rookie was supposed to see his debut album <i>Don't Get It Twisted</i> drop in 2011, but after a few false starts, the Dallas MC is looking forward to a March 20 release. <center></center> Already, he has dropped a ton of singles and high-powered collaborations with Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes and 2 Chainz. Next up, Justin Bieber. "We're getting ready to drop that record 'Wherever You Are.' Y'all will have that real soon," Lil Twist told MTV News of the high-powered collaboration. "It's a fun record. Justin killed it. He's, like, rap-singing on it; another different sound for Justin." Twist, who built his fanbase thanks to pop-rap joints like "Little Secret" with Bow Wow and "Love Affair," has been developing a harder edge lately. His recently released video for the Busta Rhymes-assisted "Turnt Up" focuses more on the 18-year old's rap bars rather than his penchant for catchy hooks. His <i>Golden Child</i> mixtape, which he dropped in December, also shows a similar growth. But with "Wherever You Are," Twist just promises a good time. "It's gonna be great. It's a cool summer record," Twist told MTV News last August. "It's a party song. Straight for the sun. It's a Miami record." While the record has been in the works for some time, Twist is almost ready to let to go. "Just me and Justin, people been waiting on that," he said of his bond with the Biebs. "That's my brother right there. It's just been a long time coming. Now that we been had the record done, it's time to put it out." <i>Are you anticipating Lil Twist's "Wherever You Are," featuring Justin Bieber? Tell us in the comments!</i> <center></center></p>

<P><b>UNIVERSAL CITY, California</b> &#8212; Hard rock, heavy metal, hardcore and punk have long gone hand-in-hand with evil wizards, magic, vampires and werewolves. And with a collective sub-cultural pedigree that includes stints in the Germs, No Use for a Name, Sunny Day Real Estate, Scream and some band called Nirvana, you'd think the Foo Fighters &#8212; set to perform at Sunday's Movie Awards &#8212; would know their "Potter" from their Zeppelin. Certainly they can recognize a "wand" reference and pinpoint its origin? </p><div class="player-placeholder right" id="vid:660301.id:1664959" width="240" height="211"></div><p> Right? Before we put MTV News' magically crafted trivia to the band, it seemed safe to assume the Foos would accurately distinguish between the words of Harry Potter, a "Twilight" character and Led Zeppelin. But was their underground nerd cred blown to shreds? Read on &#8212; and click the video! &#8212; to see how the Foo Fighters fared when we caught up with them on the Universal Studios lot, shortly after they finished rehearsing their Movie Awards performance. Our own Jim Cantiello played dungeon master as Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear were given a series of semi-famous lines and asked whether they originated with "Harry Potter," the "Twilight Saga" or the lyrics of hard-rock pioneers Led Zeppelin. Here's a sampling of a few of those one-liners: <b>&#187;</b> "The elder wand, the most powerful wand ever made." <b>&#187;</b> "Why don't you let me be yours ever truly? Can I make your garden grow?" <b>&#187;</b> "You're lying, Dolores! You mustn't tell lies!" Can you guess whether the lines above came from the "Potter" flicks, "Twilight" or Robert Plant? Watch as the Foos try their best to do exactly that. Then tune in to the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday to catch the Foo Fighters rock the stage with their new single, "Walk." <b>Will wizards, vampires or dream thieves steal the 2011 MTV Movie Awards? Find out June 5, when the 20th annual show airs live at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Tune in at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT that night for the "America's Best Dance Crew" finale and Movie Awards pre-show, loaded with live action from the red carpet, exclusive movie clips and a special edition of "After Hours."</b></p>

<P>Justin Bieber was enlisted by Ellen DeGeneres to help give back to Whitney Elementary, a Las Vegas school that helps underprivileged children. And in addition to donating $100,000 and $100,000 worth of toys, the always-charitable singer performed for the room full of Beliebers. </p><div class="player-placeholder right" id="vid:702340.id:1672718" width="240" height="211"></div><p> Bieber even answered some burning questions about his hair, his favorite color and his rise to fame. But, perhaps it was his response about his lady love, Selena Gomez, that had the room most giggly. "What do me and Selena do on the weekends?" he pondered to the room full of school kids. "We go to the movies. And we kiss," he whispered, later laughing, "No, we don't do that." He answered a number of other of the kids' inquiries in a rather quick-fire round. "Do I miss home? Yes, very much," he said. "Cause I'm always traveling and I'm always away from a lot of my family and friends. So, it can be hard. But, once I get to go home and see my family, it's always a pleasure." Before leaving, he had these words of wisdom for the kids: "Be nice to each other and treat each other with respect and grow up to be people of character." The episode aired Wednesday and when he chatted with the school's principal, Sherrie Gahn, he opened up about his own struggles growing up in Canada. "I'm here to bring a smile to these kids' faces. For me, I grew up and I didn't have a lot. We went to food banks to get food for me and my grandparents. Really, if I didn't have my grandparents to help me and these kids they have you to help them," he said. "And it's really special." <i>What questions do you wish Justin Bieber answered?

Nas Hostage Situation Still Ongoing

A New Jersey promoter by the name of Patrick Allocco is still being held hostage after artist Nas missed two scheduled concerts in Africa. Get the full details below. The hostage situation involving rapper Nas still appears to be ongoing. Reported more than a week ago, according to TMZ, a concert promoter by the name of Patrick Allocco and his son are still being held until the kidnapper receives money he wired to Nas? camp, who was a no-show to his own concert. Scheduled to perform on New Year’s Eve in Luanda along with his opening act Jemiah Jai , Nas skipped the show, but did collect a reported $315,000. The rapper claims that due to ?miscommunication? he did not board the plane to perform two scheduled shows, but was busted attending a party hosted by Lebron James in Miami. As a result Angolan promoter Henrique ?Riquhino? Miguel became enraged by Nas? absence, and decided to hold Patrick Allocco and his son at gun point. Miguel is now demanding that Nas return the $315,000 owed, plus an additional $50K for expenses. In turn Nas has announced that he ?refuses to shoulder the entirety of the blame,? but is willing to [...]

Jimmy Fallon channels David Bowie in Tim Tebow Music Video (WATCH)

Jimmy Fallon has become the undisputed king of late night comedy. If crazy videos of parents playing mean tricks on their children were not enough, Fallon showed his own talent last night. Playing Tim Tebow-ie, Jimmy Fallon channeled David Bowie in a spoof music video based on Bowie?s hit single, ?2001, A Space Oddity?. Fallon, dressed in full Glitter-Rock form as A-Lad Insane, sings his own version of the song, this time being a conversation between Denver Bronco quarterback Tim Tebow with Jesus Christ instead of Ground Control and Major Tom. Jimmy Fallon rocks out as Tim Tebow-ie in a hysterical music video. Image Credit: Wenn.com. You have to admit, whereever you come down on the whole Tim Tebow issue, that Jimmy Fallon has the best writing staff of any of the late night talk shows. Jay Leno and David Letterman are worn-out hacks in comparison, even with their huge staffs of writers supporting them. Alleged comics like Jon Stewart or Bill Maher do not come close to matching Fallon in his style. The music video is terrific! I can watch this one all day. Well, at least ten or twelve times before getting my fill of it. I have [...]
