On Wednesday (March 30), Justin Bieber shared with his fans the DVD release date for his flick, "Never Say Never." So, when will fans be able to experience Bieber in 3-D in the comfort of their own homes?
"So here is the big news they were waiting for me to announce to u once off stage ... Thanks to everyone for seeing #NSN3D around the world! so we are ... OFFICIALLY getting #NEVERSAYNEVER3D to Blu-ray & DVD May13th," he tweeted. "Preorder NOW."
He also had another special announcement for a few lucky fans who purchase a special version of the flick, adding, "And I'm signing some for my fans! #MUCHLOVE."
Aside from what fans already saw in theaters, the Blu-ray/DVD combo features a dance-off between Bieber and his crew, the full-length performance of "Favorite Girl," Bieber's team surprising fans with free tickets and a sendoff for JB's old swoop hairstyle.
Fans already came out to see the flick when it hit theaters in February, helping to solidify its status as one of the highest-grossing documentaries of all time. This will mark the third release for the film, which hit theaters twice already.
Regarding the film's message, Bieber explained to MTV News, "People didn't really know, they didn't understand that I've been playing music ever since I was born, and it's always been in me. And this movie is really going to show that I'm not just some packaged thing that some A&R put together. It was actually just me living my dream and just making music.
"Fans will be really excited to see that I'm just a regular 16-year-old having fun, just living my dream," he said. "And it's possible for anyone to live theirs."
The film shows Bieber skillfully playing piano, drums and guitar. It is part concert film, part documentary, complete with interviews from some of the people closest to the teen phenom. It features cameos by Miley Cyrus, Usher and Ludacris, among others, in interviews and concert performances filmed at Madison Square Garden last year.
Check out everything we've got on "Never Say Never."

Judge Judy Falls Ill, Rushed to Hospital
She?s one tough cookie in the courtroom, but apparently Judge Judy Sheindlin couldn't overcome her health woes as she was rushed to the hospital earlier today (March 30).
According to reports, the ?Judge Judy? arbitrator was in her studio when she fell ill and was in need of medical attention.
On-hand sources said the TV judge had been complaining of ?intestinal discomfort.?
On a good note, Judy just made a phone call to TMZ?s Henry Levin telling him that she is going to be fine - adding that she?s ?just exhausted, and my body was telling me it needed a day to chill

Jennifer Lopez's Lil Wayne Collabo 'I'm Into You' Leaks Online
Singer also announces that she will perform on 'American Idol' on May 5.

Jennifer Lopez collaborated with Pitbull for her comeback dance anthem "On the Floor," and her follow-up single will continue a trend of linking up with chart-topping MCs. On Wednesday (March 30), the "American Idol" judge took to Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show to tease a snippet of her new single, "I'm Into You," which features none other than rapper Lil Wayne.
Despite the singer's "Give It Love, Get It Early" campaign to release the song in its entirety early on iTunes utilizing Facebook's "like" option, the tune has already made its way to the blogosphere.
Over a trippy mid-tempo beat, Lil Wayne opens with a brief verse before Lopez sings a tale of a lover's spellbound attraction. "When I look into your eyes, it's over/ You got me hooked with your love controller/ I'm tripping and I could not get over/ I'm feeling lucky like a four-leaf clover/ I'm into you," the pop star sings during the song's pop&B chorus.
The Weezy-assisted tune, which was reportedly produced by Stargate, will be available on iTunes next Tuesday. Among the other songs scheduled for release through the "Give It Love, Get It Early" campaign are "Papi" (April 13) and "Love?" (April 20).
In addition to premiering some new music, the pop star opened up about last week's surprising "Idol" results show, where the judges decided to save contestant Casey Abrams. "It was crazy. We knew that it was kind of a radical decision because it was so early in the season," the singer told Seacrest. However, Lopez admitted that all the judges unanimously decided that it was the right thing to do to prevent the "dynamic performer" from packing his bags.
For now, J. Lo is gearing up to perform her new music on "American Idol" on May 5 as well as at KIIS FM's annual Wango Tango show on May 14.

All day, Britney Spears is taking over MTV. That takeover includes a trailer for MTV's upcoming special about the pop star, "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale," which will take fans inside Britney's life to see what it's like to release a highly anticipated album.
Before the trailer premieres tonight at 7:58 p.m., teasers will air throughout the day. In the sneak peeks, fans get to see Spears work on the just-released Femme Fatale, including going over final production with will.i.am on their collabo. "I did some tweaking to 'Big Fat Bass,' " the Black Eyed Peas mastermind tells Spears as she gives the song another listen.
While on the way to rehearsals for her pre-album performances — including her set this past Friday at the Palms in Las Vegas, which will be included in "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale" — Spears admits to having some "jitterbugs." It is, after all, her first time back onstage since the Circus Tour.
In another intimate look at the singer's life, fans get to see Spears and her assistant as they go to Starbucks to take a minute for themselves in the hustle-and-bustle of a hectic schedule. "It's nice to have a peaceful moment just to sit down," Spears says. "It's nice to relax before the chaos."
That chaos included getting fans excited for her album release. On top of taking the stage in Vegas for a set full of pyro, shimmering bodysuits and flirty dance moves, Spears also pre-taped today's "Good Morning America" performance in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood. "I totally loved how her bustier was lit up," fan Corina Andrati excitedly told MTV News moments after Spears wrapped her three-song set. "I'm so blessed to be here."

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Promises To Brawl During WrestleMania
'The opportunity to host 75,000 people live for four hours, that's very special,' he tells MTV News.

When Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson announced his intention — during a raucous appearance on "Raw" last month — to return to the world of WWE to host WrestleMania XXVII, the question for fans was whether the grappler-turned-Hollywood hotshot would get in the ring for the first time since 2004.
And in a chat with MTV News this week, Johnson made clear he's expecting to do much more than simply emcee the event. "I'm going to take my fist and lay it across somebody's lips and take my boot — which is a size 14, so it's a big boot — and stick it straight up somebody's ass," he told us. "How about that? I say that with love!"
Which WWE stars he'll tussle with at WrestleMania on Sunday remains to be seen. Johnson did, however, say one thing that could give us a hint. "Like with any show, like with any movie, you want to make sure the final five, 10 minutes of the show are worth every penny," he said.
"Just for me personally, just as an actor, the opportunity to host 75,000 people live for four hours, that's very special. I can't wait," he explained. "You're going to get a fantastic show. Four hours. Great entertainment. Great matches. They've done a great job of setting up these matches. Great hype around these matches. And you have a lot of performers who have that great ability to put on phenomenal performances."
One of those performances will come from MTV's own Snooki, who got nasty in the ring during "Raw" earlier this month and will return to the fray for WrestleMania.
"She's going to mix it up," Johnson said. "She's been training her ass off. She's going to get in there and get physical."

After rumors hit the Internet about Britney Spears' forthcoming summer tour, on Tuesday morning (March 29), the singer confirmed the news. In between songs at her pretaped San Francisco show on "Good Morning America," the singer made the huge announcement.
The tour is scheduled to kick off on June 17 in Sacramento and will run for 26 dates through North America, winding up on August 13 in Toronto. More details will be announced soon.
Hanging out backstage with her dancers, wearing a billowing white shirt and jeans, she told the show's host, Robin Roberts, "I'm going on tour with Enrique Iglesias in June."
Fans gathered at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium to watch Spears shimmy her way through Femme Fatale tracks "Hold It Against Me," "Big Fat Bass" and her latest single, "Till the World Ends," in varying body-hugging sexy costumes.
"Thank you so much for all your love and support. You guys are beautiful," she told the audience. "I love it. I love music. It's my world. It's my everything."
Before Britney even hit the stage in San Francisco, the room was kept entertained by five local drag queens, who told MTV News after Spears left the building that the performer really proved that she is still the pop star everyone knows and loves.
"As a huge Britney fan, it was amazing," Pollo Del Mar told us. "I was excited just to have Britney Spears here in San Francisco, but to participate and be a part of it was amazing.
"It shows why she's a superstar and certainly, I think that the crowd response showed that she's beloved. ... The reason I love Britney Spears is, throughout her career, she's shown she's human, she's fallible ... I think that makes her someone people can rally behind and love."

Britney Spears' Ex Kevin Federline And Girlfriend Expecting A Baby

On the same day that Britney Spears shares with the world her latest album, Femme Fatale, Spears' ex, Kevin Federline, has a special announcement of his own: He and girlfriend Victoria Prince are expecting a child.
Rumblings of a possible pregnancy began to bubble up when a photo of Prince sporting what looked like a baby bump hit gossip blogs on Monday. On Tuesday (March 29), sources confirmed the news to E!.
The couple is reportedly "totally happy" about the pregnancy and Prince is five months along. Federline and Prince began dating in late 2008, two years after Spears and Federline split.
Sources told E! that Spears is "focused on her work right now" when asked how she's taking the news. Spears is currently dating talent agent Jason Trawick.
A rep for Federline couldn't confirm or deny the reports as of press time.
This will be Federline's fifth child. He has two children with his ex Shar Jackson — daughter Kori Madison and son Kaleb Michael Jackson — and two sons with Spears, Jayden and Sean.
In the summer of 2009, Federline and Prince were rumored to be shooting a reality show together. The show was reportedly intended to follow Federline's life as a dad to his four kids but never came to fruition.

Foxy Brown Kicked Off Cruise Over Manicure? + "DWTS" Host Hesitant About Chris Brown + Update On Angie Stone's Holy Arrest
So now we know why Foxy Brown was kicked off Tom Joyner's cruise ship...and its a story we've heard before. Get the deets on Foxy inside plus the host of "DWTS" says he is hesitant about Chris Brown and Angie Stone says she was on the way to church during her arrest...
Perhaps Foxy Brown should hire a personal nail technician to travel with her. Believe it or not, Foxy's outburst on Tom Joyner's cruise ship was over a missed nail appointment.
Sources tell TMZ that Foxy set up a nail appointment on Monday but showed up three hours late. When she finally arrived and the salon couldn't accomodate her, she was not happy. In fact, she went H.A.M.
Security removed her and she was sent to her room until Wednesday when she was escorted to a plane once the ship docked.
This makes incident number three involving Foxy's nails. In 2004, she faced assault charges for allegedly fighting two nail salon employees and in 2007 she fought another beauty store employee (but that was mainly over weave glue). SMH.
And tonight on DWTS....
Tension will be in the air as DWTS host Tom Bergeron has said he is hesitant about interviewing Chris Brown after his outburst.
In an interview with Ryan Seacrest he said,
“I did tell the producers it may be to their advantage to not have me interview him, because my natural tendency would be to say something. So don’t put me in a position where you are asking me to not say something, because I really won’t do that.”
Hmmm.....I can't wait to watch tonight to see their body language towards each other.
And about that Angie Stone arrest....
Angie says the cops cut in on her praise time as she was on her way to worship when she got pulled over.
Angie's rep told TMZ she had no idea there was a warrant out for her arrest and she has since paid for the ticket that stopped her from getting her praise on. Oh Angie...

'Dancing With The Stars' Recap: Ralph Macchio Holds Onto High Score
But in second week of competition, Chris Jericho, Romeo and Hines Ward earned the highest praise from the judges.
By Kelley L. Carter

The season's barely started, and already there was a three-way tie for the top on Monday night's "Dancing With the Stars."
When the new celebrity contestants got a second chance to make a first impression, following last week's non-elimination premiere, Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke; Romeo and Chelsea Hightower; and Hines Ward and Kym Johnson stepped up their game this week. All three earned a total of 23 points from the judges.
After all of the contestants performed the quickstep or the jive, their scores were added to last week's tabulation. Both scores will then be added to the call-in votes from viewers. With last week's scores taken into account, it was actually Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff at the top of the leader board, with 45 total points. Ward and Johnson were next with 44, followed by Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy with 43 points. It's a bit confusing, but Tuesday's elimination — the first for season 12 — should clear things up a bit.
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba seemed most impressed with football superstar Ward's quickstep. "That was amazing; I loved it," she said. Hard-to-please judge Bruno Tonioli loved that Burke was able to turn wrestler Jericho from "a beast into a gazelle." Head judge Len Goodman loved Romeo's quickstep, saying it was "the best dance of the night."
Aside from the 23 points the top three couples grabbed, here's how the others fared: Last week's favorite, Macchio, didn't impress judges with his Monday night jive, which earned the "Karate Kid" star 21 points. Goodman said he overdid it.
Alley, fresh from a Twitter beef with talk-show host George Lopez, said she wanted to win both the competition and at weight loss. "You are so in your element. I love watching you dance," Inaba told her. Tonioli told her that she had talent. She earned a score of 20.
Former Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson did little to impress the judges, though Inaba told her, "I saw more than the choreography. There was a newfound elegance." She scored 19 points.
Supermodel Petra Nemcova and Disney star Chelsea Kane each grabbed 18 points. The judges didn't seem to care too much for Kane's jive.
The bottom scores went to legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, talk-show host Wendy Williams and radio personality Mike Catherwood, who each earned 17 out of 30 points.
Who is your favorite star on the new season of "DWTS"? Talk about it in the comments.

Mindless Behavior Enlist Ciara, Tyga, Lil Twist For 'My Girl' Remix Video
'These kids are stars to me,' Ciara tells MTV News on the clip's set.

Mindless Behavior might be made up of four boys in their early teens, but that hasn't stopped them from grabbing the attention of established stars like Ciara, Lil Twist and Tyga, who are all featured on the remix of their hit debut single "My Girl."
The remix video debuted on BET's "106 and Park" on Monday (March 28), and MTV was on the set with the young stars a few weeks ago, just days before they kicked off their tour as Janet Jackson's opening act.
" 'My Girl' needs to just branch out," said Ray Ray, surrounded by his bandmates. " 'My Girl' is the best record ever!"
As a follow-up to their video for the original version of the song, the 'My Girl' remix video delivers plenty of choreographed dancing, references to the art and etiquette of text messaging, and teenage girls dancing around the miniature heartthrobs.
In the video, Ciara dances alongside Mindless Behavior in an industrial-like setting. Lil Twist and Tyga rap in a room full of excited fans while the boys dance along.
"A year ago, we were fans of these artists," Princeton noted. "And now we're working with them. Just to know that is great."
Ciara jumped at the opportunity to work alongside the boys. "These kids are stars to me, and they asked me to be part of the remix," she said. "I was like, 'I'm gonna be a part of this!' "
Once a teen prodigy herself, Ciara already shared something in common with Mindless Behavior. "I remember when I was young. It's really just about being a part of something that's young and fresh and something that I believe in. In this case, they're young and I want to make sure I fit in that way. I give them the young 'CiCi' in me, I guess you could say."

Maybach Music Group boss tells MTV News, 'The rhymes Wale has been laying down the last few months' recall 'Ye.

Rick Ross might not have gotten his man in Wiz Khalifa, who he wanted to ink to a deal with his Maybach Music Group, but the Miami boss' first pick, Wale, wasn't a bad backup.
Ross thinks the Washington, D.C., rhyme spitter has a chance to follow in the footsteps of another guy who was also considered "unconventional" when he first signed on with his crew. Wale could be the next Kanye West, Ross told MTV News.
"They may be unconventional, but to me, it comes naturally," Ross said about moving to sign Wale and Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill.
"After spending months of my summer working with Kanye, I learned and seen so many different visions and ideas come to light. I was there for 'Flashing Lights,' when it was actually titled another title that me and Kanye went back and forth about. And when I think about Wale, I think about Kanye.
"And the kind of rhymes Wale has been laying down the last few months, since we been in the studio, I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a lot of similarities as far as the pictures that he paints," the Bawse continued. "Of course, Kanye is one of the greats of our time but I see that same potential in Wale."
At the moment, Ross and his MMG roster, which also includes Pill, his Triple C fam and Masspike Miles, among others, are working on the Self Made compilation set to arrive on "Maybach 24." Ross suggested Wale's next solo album should be out "two to three months after that" group project.
While the Maybach Music head said Wale is poised to make big waves, the Miami MC was making waves of his own over the weekend, but probably not the kind he's aiming for. Ross was arrested on Friday in Louisiana on a marijuana possession charges and subsequently released with a misdemeanor summons. Ross is now in New York and scheduled to take the stage in Long Island on Monday night (March 28) as part of Lil Wayne's I Am Still Music Tour lineup.

One of the tracks that exemplifies this is the fiery, Claude Kelly-penned "Gasoline." Kelly conceived of the searing dance tune while thinking of Britney's sexiest moments.
"The picture that I envisioned in my mind was 'Toxic,' 'Slave 4 U,' 'Boys,' like that kind of [thing where] it's sexy and it's hot, sweaty and she's in a club and she sees a guy," he explained to MTV News. "That mysterious, exotic look, that whole imagery and that era where she's a man-eater and all the girls want to be her and all the guys would kill to be with her. I think she pulled it off for sure."
Kelly also wrote the title track off of Spears' 2008 album, Circus, but this time around he wanted to take things to a new level. "I'm super happy with the way it came out. She sounds fresh and exciting," he said of the track, which was recorded in L.A. while Kelly was busy working on other projects elsewhere.
"For this time, she's in a place where she wants to be edgier again, so I was like, 'How am I going to make the word gasoline a cool song?' " he recalled. "That's really the challenge for me and I tried to play off what I know of Britney from the past, from the Blackout era, when she was more mysterious and dark.
"The one thing that kind of strings all of [the songs] along is that feeling of edginess and mysterious and sexy and a little bit playful but a little bit dangerous," he continued. "If you can tap into what she's in the mood for, which is what happened with 'Gasoline,' clearly her mind was in the zone that 'I want to be edgy.' "
The party never stops on Femme Fatale, and Kelly is sure that the fans will be happy about that. "The most common thing I hear people say about Britney is 'I want to dance.' Girls love to dance to Britney," he said. "I think people missed that and wanted that ... This one was like, 'Let's her in the clubs again.' "

Jude Law Stands Up For Human Rights In Belarus
Standing up for what he believes in, Jude Law protested in the streets of London, England earlier today (March 28) for those who are currently detained in Belarus.

Jude said this to the press, "We have the opportunity in this country to protest, to be heard and to use our freedom of speech. It's our responsibility, therefore, that we speak for those who are less fortunate, especially as fellow Europeans."
