VIDEO FAB: Raheem DeVaughn LITERALLY Sexes It Up For "She's Single"
Well damn. If you thought Breezy's "No Bullsh*t" was risque' and Trigga's "Invented Sex" was damn near pornographic--wait till you see this ish.
Raheem DeVaughn, who usually sticks to romancing and neo-soul sweetness, just released his brand new video for his track "She's Single". It's for his upcoming mixtape Jackin' For Beatz coming out today (and it uses Lil Wayne's "I'm SIngle" beat). And um, wow. Check out the NSFW vid when you read on...
Never thought of Raheem as the "He could get it" type but um...yeah. This vid right here is one for the morning books.
Wouldn't be surprised if this hot sex session was actually authentic. Not gonna lie, I'm not even mad...

Mila Kunis Bans Dad from Risque Scenes
Sitting down for an interview with MTV News, Mila Kunis opened about the much-talked sex scene in her upcoming film ?Black Swan.?
The ?Date Night? hottie told, "Doing [the scene], you never judge your character, so you always have justification for it. When you do it, it makes sense while you're doing it. You don't feel like it's you doing it."
"The more I talk about it, the more I have to think about it. We never discussed it. It was like the pink elephant in the room that was never touched upon until it was the day to shoot. Then we just did it really quickly and called it a day."
As for Mila?s dad watching the film? She said she had to explain to her father, ?I was like, ?See the movie. There going to be a point; get up and leave.??
Expanding on this, Kunis added, "I don't think any dad should see. It's just not necessary."
"Black Swan" is set to hit theaters this Friday, December 3rd.

Lady Gaga's Born This Way Is 'Incredible,' Manager Says
'We're very excited about it,' Troy Carter says of upcoming LP.

There's been a lot of buzz about Lady Gaga's Born This Way, with Gaga herself opening up about the upcoming LP at a recent concert stop. And while there are still some details up in the air, like what it will sound like and when it will drop, one of the team's main men shared a few more details about the full-length follow-up to Gaga's smash debut, The Fame.
"We're just starting to play music for the label," Gaga's manager and Coalition Media Group CEO Troy Carter said during an interview at the recent Billboard Touring Conference and Awards. "We're very excited about it. We're starting to play a little for people and getting a feel for it, and she's done an incredible job, a really incredible job."
Carter also talked about what the new album will mean for the business of Gaga, admitting he has no set strategy for it. "Well, you know what, it's not where I go from a business standpoint, it's more about where she goes creatively because, truth be told, we built the business around her creative infrastructure and that business that was built is unique to Lady Gaga," he explained, not willing to reveal a release date. "We haven't announced a date ... nope ... it's coming soon."
RedOne, who has worked with Gaga on smashes like "Bad Romance" and on the current album, believes that Born This Way will really step up the singer's already stepped-up game. "I think it's more of her freedom album. It's like freedom, this album ... it's her album!" he explained to MTV News.
"To be honest with you, I think that this album that she's making is too precious to talk about. When it comes out you'll hear and you'll make your choice. I think you're gonna love it. But I think it's too precious for me to talk about it. It's crazy."

Beyonce's Mom Says Daughter's Style Has Always Been 'Edgy'
'It's just a result of her constantly evolving,' Tina Knowles says of the fashion in Beyonce's "I Am ... World Tour" DVD concert special.

Beyoncé has never been shy about hitting the stage in stunning costumes. Her appearance has always been a mixture of showgirl sparkle and pop star razzle-dazzle. And her style is on full display in her new DVD concert special, "I Am ... World Tour."
Her mom and stylist, Tina Knowles, said that while the looks may seem a bit edgier than what fans have seen from the singer in the past, she thinks that her superstar daughter has always been ahead of the style curve.
"Well, the wonderful Thierry Mugler designed the costumes, and I actually worked on some of the dancers and the band, and it was just amazing to work with him because he is so creative," Knowles told MTV News at a New York screening of the special. "So it's just a result of her constantly evolving, but she's been edgy. It's funny for people to say she went more edgy, but she's been wearing body suits and that type of thing."
And while Knowles may act as her daughter's stylist and costume designer, she says that Bey's style decisions are all her own. "Well, we discussed her working with Thierry Mugler, and I'm the biggest fan. And so she had seen some of the fashions and she loved it," she said. "So we always discuss things, but it's her decision, it's her career."
Beyoncé, who also directed the concert special , said it gave her a better understanding of the filmmaking process. "It was hard work," she said. "I learned so much. I have a new respect for directors and I think I would like to do more of it. ... Well, I've done some co-directing for music videos [but] this was definitely a big step for me, and I'm so thrilled."

Longoria filed for divorce from Parker, 28, on Nov. 17, reportedly after discovering hundreds of sexy text messages between her husband and a former teammate's wife.
Given her situation, should Eva Longoria consider adopting a child right now? Chime in below!

News of Leslie Nielsen's death has sparked sadness and sorrow throughout Hollywood as stars have come forward to pay their final respects. The longtime comedian and actor passed away on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at the age of 84 after being treated for pneumonia.
(For photos of the late funnyman throughout his career, click here.)
Nicki Minaj may be known to most as a rapper, but the Young Money star has always had a knack for the craft of acting, so it wasn't a surprise that she expressed sympathy for the Canadian-born actor's death, tweeting, "R.I.P. Leslie Nielsen ~ one of the funniest and amazing actors of all time."
Fellow comedian Russell Brand remembered the late funnyman with a pun using the actor's iconic line from his 1980 disaster spoof "Airplane!" tweeting, "RIP. Leslie Nielsen. Shirley, he will be missed."
Swapping out jokes for affection, "The L Word" actress Marlee Matlin wrote, "A lovely man and acquaintance passed away today - Leslie Nielsen. What a lovely, funny, talented man. He will be missed. RIP."
"Sad to hear about Leslie Nielsen passing," "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest said on his Twitter account. "To this day 'Airplane' is still one of my favorite comedies ever."
Skateboard superstar Tony Hawk was grateful for the humor provided onscreen by the actor, saying, "Goodbye, Leslie Nielsen. Thank you for all the laughter. Please pay him proper respect and don't call him Shirley."
Film critic Roger Ebert kept it simple, writing, "Leslie Nielsen, RIP," and posting four film clips, including his screen test for "Ben Hur." And guitarist Slash confessed that "The Naked Gun" star would be dearly missed, tweeting, "RIP Leslie Nielson, one of my all time favorite comedians. U my friend, will be missed big time. Wow, what a loss. Iii|: (," adding, "& don't call me Shirley."

We were just in New York and I took her shopping where I get a cappuccino and she gets what she thinks is a cappuccino but it's just froth," the proud mom said. "That's fun! But I do get embarrassed because she's like, 'One cappuccino,' and I'm like, 'No, no, she doesn't drink coffee!'"

Exclusive Interview with Poppy Carlig

When Donald Trump fired me, of course I was disappointed. I went into this experience wanting SO badly to win. However, ultimately, the decisions that were made on the Kim Kardashian Task were mine to approve and put into action. Knowing now that Liza wasn't in favor of the boas and rhinestones, I feel cheated that she never expressed those opinions to me. She did that continually throughout the competition, and I wish now that I had thrown her "under the bus" in the boardroom for being a non-creative, "under the radar" teammate. However, as Project Manager, I must assume responsibility for both my decisions and for the actions of my team, and ultimately was fired.

| At the California Academy of Sciences. |
Being on The Apprentice opened my eyes to a world of opportunities and career options. I have come to recognize strengths and assets I didn't know I had until getting a taste of the business world. I also gained a sense of maturity and learned about marketing ideas and catering them to a specific audience. Additionally, after a month of cameras following my every move, I came to enjoy the experience of being in front of the camera. I would love to be in front of the camera again on either the big or little screen. Sports have always been a passion of mine, so perhaps I will step into the sports broadcasting arena. I also have had a lifelong interest in the medical fields, and have recently applied to Dental Schools. Though I may sound like someone who doesn't know where they are headed in life, I like to think that my talents and interests are diverse, so I leave open the possibility of any career I have a passion, aptitude and facility for. No matter what the future holds for me, I will carry this experience and the invaluable knowledge I gained with me forever.

| David and Poppy on WOODTV8 Michigan News live! |
When working with other strongly opinionated people, disagreements often happen. I have always been a non-confrontational and tactful individual. Instead of arguing with teammates or dismissing ideas I disagreed with, I chose to listen and respond respectfully - stating both the positive and negative aspects of the idea. Also, I would try to incorporate pieces of other people's ideas with my own in order to gain support and team camaraderie.
I was stunned when Jack Welch offered me a scholarship to The Jack Welch Management Institute. I do plan on using it, as it will aid me in any professional future I head toward. Recently I submitted applications for dental school, and am currently in the process of waiting to hear back from 28 institutions around the country. Attaining an MBA through Jack Welch's program will aid in a future in dentistry, as I will be better prepared to run my own practice.

After being fired, contestants are moved to a separate hotel, where we are allowed to talk and get to know one another without the cameras. Though David and I didn't get along during the Macy's Advertisement task, I knew lots of his melodramatic behavior was an act, and a strategy for more camera time. He did say some comedic things, and I figured he was interested in a future in television. The day after my firing, the 11 other fire-ees and I went on a field trip to Ellis Island.We were allowed to split up into smaller groups and roam. David pulled me aside and asked if I would venture with him. I gladly agreed, and the two of us shared the afternoon getting to know one another. After a couple of hours, we went to the gift shop, where he bought us Coke and rock candy, and we sat on a bench to continue talking. I think we were both surprised by how much we had in common, and how well we got along! From there, the rest is history!

'Twilight Saga: Eclipse' DVD -- Watch An Exclusive Clip Here!
We have a preview of the 'tent scene,' including hilarious commentary by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

All right Twilighters, have we got a Thanksgiving treat for you! While "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" DVD doesn't come out until December 4, MTV News is delighted to present an exclusive clip from the highly anticipated release — complete with commentary from Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart!
This isn't just any clip either. Summit has kindly bestowed upon us a juicy little snippet from the fan favorite "tent scene."
In this clip, fans get to see the heated exchange between Edward (Pattinson) and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) as they discuss how Jacob will have to get into a sleeping bag with Bella (Stewart) in order to keep her warm and save her from freezing to death. Edward, of course, is not at all pleased with Jacob getting anywhere near Bella, but he must concede for Bella's sake. Jacob, taking advantage of the situation, revels in the fact that his warmer-than-normal body temperature means he can do for Bella what Edward can't.
The scene itself offers plenty of entertainment, but it's Pattinson and Stewart's hilarious voiceover commentary about the scene that really sells it.
"Slurp your coffee a little bit more," we hear Stewart say to Pattinson. "That's what the fans want."
"It's not coffee," Pattinson responds. "It's an Arnold Palmer," he says, attempting to pronounce it with an American accent.
"You're drinking an Arnold Palmer?" Stewart asks, sounding amused. "Having a little lemonade and iced tea?"
Meanwhile, Jacob has just crawled into Bella's sleeping bag, which draws Stewart and Pattinson back to the clip.
"God, he's so gross, so brazen!" Pattinson says of Lautner's werewolf. "I really don't like Jacob."
"Aww," Stewart says.
"Look at him and his tattoo and stuff. Ugh," Pattinson mock scoffs.
"He's just young and overzealous," Stewart says defending the young wolf.
"He's not!" Pattinson insists. "He does it on purpose. He's looking at me when he's saying this stuff."
"Yeah, that is weird," Stewart agrees.
"What is wrong with him? He's like, 'I don't even care about her, I just want to,' " Pattinson trails off.
"Look at him cradling!" Stewart points out, which provokes a burst of laughter from Pattinson. "His little head nooked in there," she adds.
"You look like you're milking him," Pattinson says as both "Twilight" actors break out laughing.
A terrific tease, and if that little sneak peek doesn't make you want to pre-order that DVD now, we don't know what will.
What do you think about the clip? Stewart and Pattinson's commentary? Tell us in the comments!
Check out everything we've got on "Eclipse."

[AUDIO] Fantasia Admits To Abortion During Divorce Trial Of Ex-Lover
As we told you a few days ago, Fantasia admitted in court that she had aborted her love child with Antwuan Cook. Now we have audio of her admission. Hear the confession inside...
On Monday, Fantasia confessed during the divorce proceedings of Antwaun Cook and his soon-to-be his ex-wife Paula that she aborted a child conceived during their affair.
According to RadarOnline,
"...Fantasia is questioned by a lawyer for Paula Cook. Fantasia is a reluctant witness. At first she discusses a letter she wrote to Antwaun about wanting to have his baby. Then she is pinned down by the opposing lawyer who gets her to confess to the abortion in dramatic testimony."
Fantasia admitted to having an abortion sometime around August, which is around the time she was admitted to the hospital for a failed suicide attempt.
Here's part of the transcript:
Lawyer: "See if you recognize this as being a letter you wrote to Mr. Cook on May 10th 2010" (inaudible)
(inaudible) Fantasia reads the letter to the court. "I want you. I pray every night that I can be in your life forever, be your friend, lover, prayer partner, wife and MOTHER OF YOUR CHILDREN. As long as I can have you I will be the happiest girl in the world." (inaudible)
Lawyer: "Ms Barrino, when you wrote this letter, you said you wanted to be the mother of his children, is this right?"
Fantasia: "Uh huh."Lawyer: "Were you pregnant with his child when you wrote this letter?"
Fantasia: "No, no."Lawyer: "Is it true at one point you told him you had an abortion?"
Fantasia's Lawyer: Objection!(ARGUMENTS BETWEEN LAWYERS)
Lawyer: "Ms Barrino, isn't it true that you told Mr. Cook that you had aborted his child?"
Fantasia: "When I wrote this letter I was speaking in future references. Like, one day, I would love to be all of these things that I wrote. I was not pregnant with his child."Lawyer: "But did you tell Mr. Cook you aborted his child?"
Fantasia: "I did, yeah."Lawyer: "When did you tell Mr. Cook you had aborted his child?
Fantasia: "I'm not sure."Lawyer: "When did you abort his child?"
Fantasia: "It hasn't been too long ago."Lawyer: "What's not too long ago?
Fantasia: "I'm not sure."Lawyer: "I'm sorry?"
Fantasia: "I'm not sure. Probably when all this other stuff was happening."Lawyer: "Is it your testimony that this summer?"
Fantasia: "I'm not really sure."Lawyer: "How close in proximity was it to Mr. Cook leaving? In June 2010."
Fantasia: "It was right after he left his home."Lawyer: "Mrs. Cook contends that she separated from Mr. Cook in June 16th 2010. How close in proximity to her date of separation did you contend that you aborted his child?"
Fantasia: "I'm not sure. Probably August when the other stuff happened."
Listen to the audio here.
Reports are now saying Paula Cook may sue Fantasia under North Carolina law for Alienation of Affection. Not a great way to celebrate Thanksgiving. But Fanny is trying. She was spotted at Millions of Milkshakes with her daughter Zion on yesterday:
Looks like she's getting it back together....

Dane Cook Sizes Up New-Release Rivals Kanye West, Justin Bieber, More
Comedian drops I Did My Best - Greatest Hits the same week as new albums from Nicki Minaj, Ke$ha and a load of other megastars.

With all the hype surrounding MTV News' musical Mega-Release Week — Bieber! Kanye! Nicki! Ke$ha! Jay-Z! MCR! — you might not be aware of yet another album hitting stores this week: Dane Cook's I Did My Best - Greatest Hits.
Lucky for us, the man behind the album stopped by our office to discuss his just-released comedic stylings, as well as his thoughts on the other big albums dropping this week. So why release a greatest-hits album?
"I've been doing stand-up comedy 20 years altogether — ten years of recording tracks and club sets and arena sets," Cook explained. "So I thought it would be a great way to close out the decade, a great 'thank you' to fans to say, 'These are the high-water marks that we shared,' remaster it, make it sound great. To new fans that are always discovering me saying, 'Where do I start?,' this is really the collection of what I think are the highlight moments," he said.
And for the die-hard fans out there who already have some of those greatest hits, he included a bunch of unreleased tracks on the album as well. "There's something for everyone on there," he assured us.
Regarding his competition in the new-releases category, we asked Cook to share his thoughts on some of the big names. First up, Kanye West. "Never heard of him. What is he about?" Cook deadpanned. "Kan-J? Kanye? I'm just going to call him West. That's great. I'll definitely look him up."
With Nicki Minaj, Cook pretended that we were asking about something suggestive — "Oh, no, I'm thinking of a ménage a trois that I once had" — but then praised the talents of that "guy or girl."
What about Ke$ha and Justin Bieber? "Ke$ha is like mini-Gaga," Cook said. "I think whatever outfits Gaga doesn't end up using, she probably just gets those and spins them into hits.
"Justin Bieber is, first of all, he's adorable," he said, sincerely. "That Bieber hair that caught on for a little bit, and he enchants the little girls. That 2- to 5-year-old demographic I think is really where he's at. And he's going to have a really long career, or until they turn 8 or 9," he quipped. "As long as they stay 2 to 5, I think that kid's going to be around for a long time."
Open the floodgates! It's Mega-Release Week, with Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, Ke$ha, My Chemical Romance and Lloyd Banks all dropping new albums. Stick with MTV News for everything you need to know about the brand-new music.

Christina Aguilera and Matt Rutler's NYC Date Night
Spending the holiday weekend in the Big Apple, Christina Aguilera and her new beau Matthew Rutler were spotted together in New York City on Saturday night (November 27).
After chowing down on dinner at the Corner Deli, the cute couple held hands as they headed to the Boom Boom Room, where they partied until 3AM.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Christina and Matt met earlier this year on the set of "Burlesque," where Rutler was an assistant.
Telling that the two have been dating since September, a source told Star magazine, ?Christina is completely taken with Matthew. But he?s a wild rocker type with a reputation as a ladies? man.?
Sounding as if they aren't a fan of Mr Rutler, the Star insider added that he ?networks like crazy with all the big names she introduces him to... And everything is on her dime because he?s broke. Matt used to live in a crummy apartment with roommates. Now he?s at her Beverly Hills mansion every night. He?s in heaven!"
Hoping that she doesn't end up hurt, the source finished by saying, ?She?s so fragile and isn?t seeing clearly. Everyone is concerned that it?s too much too soon.?
Justin Bieber's My Worlds Acoustic: A Cheat Sheet
Get the scoop on the singer's latest album, out Black Friday.

On Black Friday, the year's busiest shopping day by far, Justin Bieber will release his album, My Worlds Acoustic. It will feature one new track, "Pray," as well as acoustic reinterpretations of some of Bieber's biggest songs from his first two LPs, My World and My World 2.0.
While fans have gotten the chance to hear "Pray" as well as acoustic teases of "Favorite Girl" (when he stopped by Ryan Seacrest's radio show this month) and "Never Say Never," his musical director, Dan Kanter, tweeted what the rest of the album will sound like, saying, "Loving the percussion... Cajones and congas! Definitely an influence from our travels around the world!"
As for "Pray," Bieber has said he was inspired by a track from the King of Pop himself. "It's a very uplifting song, very motivational," he said. "It definitely comes from the heart. It's very beautiful. I definitely thought of Michael [Jackson's] 'Man in the Mirror' when I was writing it."
The album, which also features "One Time," "Baby," "One Less Lonely Girl, "Down to Earth," "U Smile," "Stuck in the Moment" and "That Should Be Me," was recorded because Bieber wanted to silence his critics. "I really think that I did an acoustic album because there's a lot of haters out there that say, 'Justin Bieber can't sing. His voice is all Auto-Tuned,' " he said. "And there's a lot with production, it kind of drowns out your voice, and it takes away from the singer, over the synths and everything.
"I think kind of stripping it down," he added, "and having it kind of really mellow and being able to hear my voice is why I wanted to do it."
Will you be picking up Bieber's latest on Black Friday? Let us know in the comments!

On Black Friday, the year's busiest shopping day by far, Justin Bieber will release his album, My Worlds Acoustic. It will feature one new track, "Pray," as well as acoustic reinterpretations of some of Bieber's biggest songs from his first two LPs, My World and My World 2.0.
While fans have gotten the chance to hear "Pray" as well as acoustic teases of "Favorite Girl" (when he stopped by Ryan Seacrest's radio show this month) and "Never Say Never," his musical director, Dan Kanter, tweeted what the rest of the album will sound like, saying, "Loving the percussion... Cajones and congas! Definitely an influence from our travels around the world!"
As for "Pray," Bieber has said he was inspired by a track from the King of Pop himself. "It's a very uplifting song, very motivational," he said. "It definitely comes from the heart. It's very beautiful. I definitely thought of Michael [Jackson's] 'Man in the Mirror' when I was writing it."
The album, which also features "One Time," "Baby," "One Less Lonely Girl, "Down to Earth," "U Smile," "Stuck in the Moment" and "That Should Be Me," was recorded because Bieber wanted to silence his critics. "I really think that I did an acoustic album because there's a lot of haters out there that say, 'Justin Bieber can't sing. His voice is all Auto-Tuned,' " he said. "And there's a lot with production, it kind of drowns out your voice, and it takes away from the singer, over the synths and everything.
"I think kind of stripping it down," he added, "and having it kind of really mellow and being able to hear my voice is why I wanted to do it."

In October, Justin Bieber debuted the first trailer for his February 3-D flick "Never Say Never." And on Monday (November 22), just one day after his big night at the AMAs, a new trailer for the flick hit the Internet.
The sneak peek opens with classical music playing as the screen reads, "This Valentine's Day," over an image of Bieber. Soon, the singer is spraying silly string as the screen reads, "See Bieber like never before." Then, Bieber throws popcorn at the camera — all tricks to play up the film being in 3-D.
Soon, a montage of Bieber as a kid flashes across the screen along with concert video and behind-the-scenes footage of the singer with various people in Bieber's camp sharing tidbits about the singer, including "He could really be huge, if he wanted" and "He's 16, and he's doing it all on his own."
At the end of the trailer, Bieber is seen learning about the cameras used to shoot his 3-D flick as he sticks out 3-D glasses and looks into a screen seeing what the 3-D will look like. "That's sick, right?" he says. "It looks like it's about to hit that guy in the head."
It was just announced that fans can catch a sneak-peek screening of the film February 9, two days before it officially hits theaters. They'll be surprised just to see I'm a regular person," he said. "I'm a regular teenage boy. I like girls, and I like to hang out with my friends. It's gonna be taking them into my world, but also like it's their world, 'cause it's just normal."

Getting in a little face time ahead of the airing of a new episode of her show, Kate Gosselin stepped out for weekend ending errands in Reading, PA on Sunday morning (November 28).
Looking sporty in an Under Armour cap, hoodie and jeans, the TLC reality star mom chatted on her cell phone while hitting up the tanning salon and FedEx shop during the solo outing.
As for her childless sighting, Kate and ex-hubby Jon Gosselin came to an agreement for holiday plans - as Miss Gosselin got the brood of eight on Thanksgiving Day while her ex and his new lady took over parental duties over the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Kate sighting comes just as a new Halloween-themed episode of "Kate Plus 8" readies to air tonight (November 28) at 10PM ET following another installment of "Sarah Palin's Alaska."

Kanye West Sounds Off On Media At NYC Show

Judging by the critical response to his new album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye West's love/hate relationship with the media has had little impact on how they view his music. But while concluding his secret New York concert on Tuesday night, the hip-hop heavyweight spoke out on his public image.
After the encore of his Bowery Ballroom set, West reflected on the his career. "As you know, it's been an extremely hard year for me," he said. "But getting back to music, G.O.O.D. Fridays, and the album ... I never thought I'd say this, I wanna thank the magazines for perfect scores across the board. I always felt like I could do anything, but now I feel so fearless. To do an album after the year that I had and after all the 'Your career is over,' 'Die, n---a, die,' and 'You'll never make music again,' and to come back and do 100,000 the first day, digital alone, to be slated to do 600,000 in the first week. I don't talk about the numbers but what that number says is that people want me to keep making music and for me to not give up."
The Chicago MC then brought up his contentious "Today" show appearance earlier this month. "But I ain't here to make no mother----ing politics," 'Ye said. "I'm here to make music. I'm not here to talk in no mother----ing interviews, nobody ask me no stupid-ass questions. We have such a great win. Matt Lauer is not a bad guy, I'm sure."
Soon after, West went on to another tricky subject, the Taylor Swift VMA incident. "When you do things like what happened last year, it's disrespectful for everyone that's created," he said to roaring applause. "It's a smack in the face to everyone who tries to do something real. If I wasn't drunk, I would have been onstage longer. Am I the only one who's not crazy here?"
Yeezy went on to speak about former President George W. Bush and why he said Bush didn't "care about black people" in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
"Everyone wants to use people and villianize people, even if you take the concept like George Bush," he said. "There is no leader in history that has been a villain in that way that didn't get killed in war or commit suicide, so any man that lives through it, deserves one moment of redemption. Any man! ... Everyone needs a villain, don't we? We need to blame someone at all times. For me to be considered a racist for stating the blatant truth, an obvious truth ... But the nuisances of my words, because I am very particular with my words, and they're an emotion I felt at that time. It wasn't worded exactly right, but everybody came and said ... 'Oh my God, Kanye, I love you so much. I hated you until you said that. Yeah, now you're speaking for me, but now you said something that represents me.' "
Kanye says his Bush callout was misinterpreted, but he rode the media's wave. "And the whole time, I'm thinking in my mind, that's not exactly what I wanted to say, I was emotional. That was not exactly how I wanted to word it. But I rode it. I rode it. Just as Taylor never came to my defense in any interview and rode the wave and rode it and rode it. That's the way that I rode the wave with the Bush comment. It's not about popular opinion."
After experiencing similar backlash from the media, West said he empathized with Bush over the twisting influence of the media, echoing what he'd said during the interview with Matt Lauer.
With another mention of how the "Today" show "f---ed up big time" for playing the VMA incident during his interview, Kanye said that he appreciates and thanks all those that helped him for the better and worse throughout the past year.
"If you're a real artist, have no fear, say what the f--- you want, do what you want and make what you want," he said. "And if it's meant to be, then people will stand up like the people stood up with 600,000 coming off being the most hated person this time last year. ... And on that note, I love you and on my family that came to help me with the album, that came through tonight, flying in on private jets, everything they had to do to get here, everybody in this audience that sat through this whole thing, I know you got to wake up in the morning. Thank you so much. I love you."

Celebrity Favorites: Janet Jackson, Kimberly Elise and Thandie Newton
Although the ladies of Tyler Perry's "For Colored Girls" had to embrace pain and confront harsh realities to channel the characters in the movie script, from an adaptation of playwright Ntozake Shange's 1974 Broadway hit "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf," offscreen, the cast was as cool as Janet Jackson's character in the film.
"She's someone who has no time for niceties, really," Jackson told MTV News of her role. "That was a tough thing for me, to drop the 'please' and the 'thank you,' just trying to get into the role, get into her head and doing that at home and in my world, that was kind of tough, but eventually it happened. [Laughs.] She has her walls up, for sure."
OK, maybe the lovely ladies of Perry's film weren't that cool. But when the camera wasn't rolling, Jackson, Kimberly Elise and Thandie Newton spent plenty of time listening to music.
"I enjoy listening to Drake, I enjoy listening to Bruno Mars," Jackson revealed. "I enjoy listening to Gaga."
"I love Citizen Cope," Elise added. "Anything Citizen Cope-y. I like Matt and Kim; they're different."
Newton noted a track from Amos Lee's discography, "Long Line of Pain," from the blues singer's Supply and Demand album, as a song she kept loaded in her iPod during filming.
"I'm a huge fan of TV on the Radio," Newton said. "A bit of Afro-Punk. I like a bit of Amos Lee, one of his songs, 'Long Line of Pain,' really reminded me of the movie. That was a part of my 'For Colored Girls' playlist. How we can inherit pain unless we intercept the cycle. We're just passing it forward. Thank you, Amos Lee."
