Cory Feldman Rants About Pedophilia

What's going on with Corey Feldman? Oh, not too much. He's bleached his hair AND decided to speak out about the biggest problem in Hollywood: pedophilia. In a bizarre "Nightline" interview, Corey went on a rant about how Hollywood's biggest secret is all the pedophiles flying under the radar. He says he was surrounded by them when he was a child actor. He even goes so far as to blame Corey Haim's death on the trauma of pedophilia—claiming they were both molested by Hollywood moguls.

Jani Lane to be Honored By Warrant at Tonight's Concert

Filed under: Jani Lane, Music, R.I.P.

Jani Lane Warrant Concert
Jani Lane's former band will pay tribute to the fallen singer at their concert tonight in North Dakota ... TMZ has learned.

Guitarist Erik Turner -- who co-founded the band -- tells us, "We will be making a tribute before we play the song 'Heaven' tonight."

He adds, "We never thought that when the song 'Heaven' was written we would be playing it someday in the memory of Jani's untimely death. This is a very sad day for rock and roll. One of the great things about music is that it lives on forever."

Lane penned the song "Heaven" back in 1989 -- and it's said to be the band's most commercially successful single.

Lindsay Lohan Hits NYC, Rep Denies Drug Deal Claims

Making her way to the east coast, Lindsay Lohan was spotted strolling around the SoHo neighborhood of New York City on Friday afternoon (August 12).

The "Georgia Rule" actress donned a lacy cleavage-baring white dress while toting a fringed purple handbag as she trekked the artsy area's streets during her visit to the Big Apple.

The sighting comes as LiLo's always-busy publicist was once again called upon to defend his oft-troubled client - this time denying inferences by paparazzi agency X17 claiming to have captured Lindsay in the midst of a drug deal in Venice Beach, California.

Of the video showing Lohan and several men exchanging a plastic bag and some cash, Steve Honig said that X17 "knowingly and consciously made inferences about Lindsay that are completely untrue."

In a statement to CNN, Honig told, "If they had taken the time to look into this a little bit further, they would have found out that the bag contained crystals from a local shop in Venice."

Jay-Z And Kanye's 'Otis' Video: What Does It Mean?

MTV News gathers a group of tastemakers to break down the clip, which features a mutilated Maybach, fireworks and a huge American flag.

Who knew destroying a Maybach could be so fun? In Jay-Z and Kanye West's new Spike Jonze-directed video for "Otis," the Throne give the luxury vehicle the chop-shop treatment and then do doughnuts with reckless abandon.

"Have you ever seen Jay-Z look that young or that happy?" Jeff Rosenthal from the sketch-comedy group It's the Real said when MTV News gathered a group of tastemakers to preview the "Otis" video, which premiered Thursday on MTV.

"I like that it definitely has that Spike Jonze look. I like that they totally make a Batmobile out of a Maybach," his brother and comedy partner Eric added. "They do have a lot of fun, which is awesome."

Read what some hip-hop DJs had to say about "Otis" as an unconventional single.

Model Tahiry José knows a thing or two about video sets herself, having appeared in 50 Cent's "Think About Me" and Fat Joe's "(Ha Ha) Slow Down" clip. Initially, she wasn't impressed with the video, but the longer she thought about it, the more she appreciated the video's carefree attitude — especially after rumors surfaced that the Throne weren't seeing eye to eye. "It must've not been easy in the studio," she said. "But they do look like they're having a lot of fun."

Yes, tearing apart a car that costs at least $300,000 is a gaudy display — even more so after considering the current economic crisis the U.S. is facing. New York's Power 105 radio host Charlamagne Tha God saw some meaning behind Hov and Kanye's actions in the video. "That's what I think the whole stripping down of the Maybach represents: the fact that, 'Yo, we're stripping down this whole luxury that's around us, this whole super aura that's around us, and we're just strippin' it down to the bare bones.' "

See what industry experts predict Watch the Throne will sell in its first week.

Ultimately, the song's lyrics, which Kanye described as both "luxury rap" and "sophisticated ignorance" in his second verse, is just a reflection of the duo's reality. The display of wealth doesn't bother the radio host. "What do you want Jay-Z and Kanye West to rap about — being broke? They're rich!" Charlamagne said.

AllHipHop.com CEO Chuck Creekmur appreciated the video's minimalist vibe. Aside from the tricked-out 'Bach, there were a few pyrotechnics, a large American flag, a few models and not much else. "A lot of times you can overdo it and have a bunch of special effects and blue screens, green screens," he said. "I thought it was cool that it was just Jay and Kanye and they looked like they were genuine, just having regular fun like extremely wealthy people do, destroying things out of all of our price range like it was nothing."

Brian "B.Dot" Miller from hip-hop blog Rap Radar likened "Otis" to Jay-Z's 1998 video for "Money Ain't a Thing," in which he and Jermaine Dupri raced expensive whips for cash. "I liked it. I think that was probably the most expensive low-budget video of all time," he joked. "The Maybach alone paid for the video itself. It looks like they had a good time. Makes me want to go home and take the roof off the Nissan."

Another key scene has Hov and Yeezy in front of an America flag, similar to the one Givenchy designer Ricardo Tisci used in the design for the "Otis" single cover. As they stand, with red, white and blue in the background, Jay and Kanye trade rhymes and playfully shove each other while holding up the diamond sign, a hand symbol synonymous with their early Roc-A-Fella Records days.

"They're two brothers that made it in this country, so why not represent our flag?" Charlamagne said.

Creekmur agreed, stating that the "Otis" video in all its in-your-face lavishness is nothing more than a celebratory dance after all the duo's regal accomplishments. "I think the American flag represents the possibilities, if you look at Jay-Z's history, Kanye's history and how much they've overcome," he said.

New Edition Singer -- Sued Over Twitter Attack!

Filed under: Johnny Gill, Music, Twitter, Celebrity Justice, Exclusive

New Edition
singer Johnny Gill waged a ferociously bitter Twitter war against the CEO of his record label last week -- calling her "f**king nuts" -- and now she's taking his ass to court.

The producer, Ira DeWitt -- wife of St. Louis Cardinals owner Bill DeWitt -- claims Johnny was PISSED when a song rumored to be on his upcoming album was leaked on the Internet ... and he wrongly blamed her. 

According to the lawsuit, filed Thursday in L.A. County Superior Court, DeWitt claims she had nothing to do with the leak -- but Gill attacked her on Twitter anyway ... calling her "deranged" and "f**kng nuts."

0811_johnny_gill_tweet

DeWitt also claims Gill tweeted defamatory statements about her business ... saying her record company is a sham and that she only liked the leaked recording because she had a "hard on" for one of the song's producers.

DeWitt claims Gill has damaged her reputation -- so she's suing for unspecified damages ... AND she wants the judge to force Gill to stop trashing her on Twitter.

Calls to Gill have not been returned.

'The Help' & 'Glee Movie' Reviews

'The Help' & 'Glee Movie' Reviews

Which movies are fun for the whole family and which ones are treats just for you? Find out!

In theaters now:

The Help
Short Story:
Skeeter (Emma Stone) is a journalist living in Jackson, Miss., in the midst of the  1960s civil rights movement. Hoping to challenge societal rules and break down the color barrier, Skeeter enlists maids Aibileen (Viola Davis) and Minny (Octavia Spencer) to write a novel from the perspective of "the help." Keeping the maids' identities secret to protect their safety, the novel forces the citizens of Jackson to come face-to-face with their racial issues. 

What They're Saying:
"(The Help) is, in some ways, crude and obvious, but it opens up a broad new swath of experience on the screen, and parts of it are so moving and well acted that any objections to what's second-rate seem to matter less as the movie goes on." -- New Yorker

"The Help brings a chick-flick sensibility to a serious subject, which is more daring than it might sound. It's also incredibly refreshing." -- Newsday

Good for Kids?
Rated PG-13, parents should be aware that this movie deals with some mature issues. Common Sense Media says the adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's best-selling novel "isn't likely to appeal to young kids but is a historically relevant drama that mature tweens and teens can see with their parents." Recommended for children ages 12 and above, the film deals with some heavy issues such as segregation, physical abuse and miscarriages. Click to read the full Common Sense review!

Glee: The 3D Concert Movie
Short Story:
Fox's hit show Glee heads to the big screen for an eye-popping 3-D concert experience showcasing live performances of the show's most popular songs, as well as behind-the-scenes coverage and fan interviews.

What They're Saying:
"The title promises a concert movie, in 3-D, based on the show Glee, and the film delivers precisely that, in a way that I believe is sure to overjoy fans of the show." -- MSN Movies

"Haters, head for the door. But Gleeks? Get your Glee on." -- Orlando Sentinel

Good for Kids?
This movie is perfect for Gleeks of any age! There is no need for parents to worry: According to Common Sense Media the PG-rated movie "is much tamer than the TV show" and leaves out "heavy/edgy material." With fan interviews, the movie stands by Glee's positive message to celebrate diversity and accept what makes everyone different. Click to read the full Common Sense review!

30 Minutes or Less
Short Story:
In this action-comedy, Nick (Jesse Eisenburg) is a pizza delivery boy with a rather boring life. But things get interesting when he is kidnapped by two idiot criminals (Danny McBride and Nick Swardson), strapped with a bomb and forced to rob a bank before the bomb goes "boom!" With time ticking away, he enlists the help of his best friend Chet (Aziz Ansari) -- and learns a few things about living life to the fullest. 

What They're Saying:
"None of this crackles with the kind of breezy, madcap hilarity that it should; it's actually rather tortured and convoluted." -- Associated Press

"Moral of the story: If you occupy the demographic that this film is aimed at, Hollywood doesn't have a very high opinion of you." -- Chicago Sun-Times

Good for Kids?
This one has an R rating -- thanks to some nudity, sexual content and violence -- so leave the kiddies at home!

Watch the preview!

Final Destination 5
Short Story:
In the fifth installment of the Final Destination franchise, a man saves a group of coworkers when a suspension bridge collapses. But the groups soon finds out that no one can escape Death (yes, with a capital "D"). In a race against time, the group must frantically figure out a way to cheat death as he tries to find creative ways to kill them.

What They're Saying:
"To borrow from TV terminology, the series hasn't jumped the shark yet, but the strain of inventing bizarre deaths is beginning to show." -- Hollywood Reporter

"It almost kills me to say that Steven Quale's Final Destination 5 brings sanity to a single-minded, broken record of a franchise that has, until now at least, seemed predisposed against thoughtfulness." -- Slant Magazine

Good for Kids?
With a R rating, Common Sense Media tells parents to "expect another round of horrific gore, violence and death." So it's probably wise to leave the kids at home; only adults and teenagers with an interest in horror films should see this one. Click here to read the full Common Sense review!

In case you missed:

The Change-Up
Short Story:
As childhood pals Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and Dave (Jason Bateman) have grown up, their lives have also grown in separate directions. Dave is now a workaholic lawyer and father of three, while Mitch is a single, semi-employed womanizer with no responsibilities. Of course, both covet the other guys' life and, after a drunken night out, they wake up to discover that they've myseriously swapped bodies. It's like Freaky Friday -- but with an R-rated twist!

What They're Saying:
"It has a low opinion of men, a lower opinion of women, and the lowest opinion of the intelligence of its audience." -- Chicago Sun-Times

"Has the moment finally arrived when we look back upon Freaky Friday as a model of comedic sophistication?" -- Time Out New York

Good for Kids?
Rated R for crude sexual content, drug use and nudity, this isn't one for the kiddies. But, if sophomoric raunchy jokes are in your wheelhouse, this is the perfect movie for a fun night out with some pals.

Watch the preview!

Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Short Story:
In this Planet of the Apes prequel set in present-day San Francisco, James Franco plays a scientist whose experiments with generic engineering lead to the development of a super-intelligent breed of apes. Of course, once their IQs are off the charts, the simians aren't too pleased to be locked up in a lab -- and an all-out war erupts pitting man vs. ape for world domination.

What They're Saying:
"Precisely the kind of summer diversion that the studios have such a hard time making now. It's good, canny-dumb fun."-- New York Times

"I kind of enjoyed Rise of the Planet of the Apes despite its evident silliness and the fact that nobody's likely to remember it three weeks from now." -- Salon.com

Good for kids?
Rated PG-13, this film is perfect for sci-fi junkies, but probably not for kids who'll be scared by the human-vs.-ape violence. Common Sense Media says to expect, "teen boys to express an interest, as well as hardcore Harry Potter devotees." That because teens may want to see Potter star Tom Felton -- who costars in Apes -- "play something other than Draco Malfoy." Click here for the full Common Sense review!
