It is that time of the year when I compile my list of favorite albums of the year … and what a diverse year of music it was. To be honest, I really wasn’t wowed by the music of 2010 until pretty late in the year. Some albums snuck up on me as one of [...]

Ke$ha Proclaims 'We R Who We R' At AMAs
Ke$ha destroys hate with her American Music Awards performance.
By Jocelyn Vena

Whirring sirens and post-apocalyptic stage design certainly set the tone for Ke$ha's energetic American Music Awards performance on Sunday (November 21). Surrounded by keyboards, Ke$ha kicked it all off in a glowing robot helmet and began her Animal track, "Take It Off."
Soon she was surrounded by dancers, some of whom broke through mirrors to join the singer on the stage as she transitioned into her Cannibal track "We R Who We R." For the performance, Ke$ha let her hair down and graced the stage in a mirrored bodysuit and leather jacket. She danced and gyrated her way through the track off her latest release, out this week.
When she wasn't dancing, she played a white guitar as confetti fell from the ceiling toward the song's synth filled and Auto-Tuned finale. As the song wrapped, she turned the guitar around and revealed that it said "hate" with a slash through it. She destroyed the guitar as sparks flew from behind her.
"This year has been carnivorous and life-changing. I have my rowdy, gorgeous fans to thank for taking me on the ride of a lifetime," she said in a statement. "My only goal with this record is to keep them dancing," she said of the new album. "The songs on Cannibal were made to inspire people to ignore any hate or judgment and be themselves unapologetically. It's the perfect companion to Animal and I hope you guys like it. And if you don't like it -- bite me."
What did you think of Ke$ha's AMA Performance?

'Tron Legacy' Director Says He Likes To Challenge The Audience
Joseph Kosinski tells MTV News, 'There's some stuff in this film that people maybe aren't expecting.'
By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz

For those "Tron" fans who've been waiting patiently for the release of "Tron Legacy" — a semi-sequel more than 20 years in the making — the day has arrived! Starting Friday (December 17), Jeff Bridges (playing two roles, no less) can now be seen in theaters nationwide.
Given the original film's storied and groundbreaking history, MTV News asked first-time director Joseph Kosinski what reactions he hopes "Legacy" viewers will have.
"Hopefully, people will have the same reaction I did when I saw the first 'Tron,' " Kosinski said. "It looked different than anything else out there; it sounded different than anything else out there; it was bold in its concept and in the technology, the way it pushed technology," he recalled. "So hopefully, audiences feel the same way about this film, because that's what we tried to do."
Speaking of pushing the boundaries of technology and sound, "Legacy" is more than just your average popcorn flick. There are thematic elements that demand the audience's attention in ways different from other films. Kosinski said that was one of his goals in continuing the story.
"I can only make the film that I would want to see. I like films that challenge the audience," he explained. "I like films that require you to pay attention, and there's some stuff in this film that people maybe aren't expecting, which to me are the most exciting parts."
For the astute viewer — or fans of films like "Blade Runner," "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Star Wars" — a few of those exciting parts might feel just a bit familiar.
"I was a child of the '80s, so those are obviously films that made huge impressions on me," Kosinski said. "I think every director is a combination, can cite influences from all the films, especially films you see as a kid, for whatever reason, those are the ones that impact you the strongest," he added. "I think there are bits of all of those in here."
Check out everything we've got on "Tron Legacy."

Hot Slut Of The Day!
Shlomi Arbeitman, an Israeli footballer who plays for Belgian's K.A.A. Gent and who has become a viral Internet star in Israel thanks to this interview with a Dutch TV station of him mumbling through English like a drunk Jersey Shore cast member. Best Week Ever says this video is getting all the laughs in Israel, because most of the population is fluent in English and Shlomi sounds like a Speak & Spell on low batteries.
But you know, I didn't even realize those words coming out of his mouth were some form of the English language, because he was deafened by the voice in my head screaming "showmepeenshowmepeenshowmepeen" on a loop. Seriously, who the hell cares if his mouth is an English word shredder, look at him! The language of "Let me sit on the tip while stroking those luscious mink stoles over your eyes" is an international one! Besides, if you used Talking Browser on one of my blog posts it would make less sense than Shlomi does.
Shlomi's interview is such a damn hit that it has spawned parody after parody including this one:

Ke$ha's 'We R Who We R' Video Is 'Hot And Dangerous'
Cannibal singer throws sexy, dark dance party in just-released clip.
By Jocelyn Vena
Ke$ha in her video for "We R Who We R"
Photo: RCA Records / Sony Music Entertainment
In the video for her first Cannibal single, Ke$ha wants everyone to know "We R Who We R.". Flashing lights open the video as Ke$ha, in a high ponytail and body-hugging sparkly leotard, and her crew roll through a tunnel as a fire burns in the background. The singer promised explosions, and she delivered.
As she makes her way through the tunnel, a close-up shot of the singer reveals another eye-catching look: eyebrows complete with actual studs, and her makeup as glittery as ever. Cars zoom by as the crew hangs in the tunnel, continuing on their way to a party.
When they arrive, Revolucion tequila is on full display at a post-apocalyptic rave. Apparently, Ke$ha has now hit the product-placement stage of her career, a move made by Lady Gaga in several of her most-recent clips, notably, "Telephone."
Ke$ha parties it up with her people while the two female DJs scope out dating site Plenty of Fish, which also made an appearance in Gaga's "Bad Romance" clip around this time last year.
Mid-party, Ke$ha changes her garb. She is now draped in an American-flag top and sparkly hot-pink hot pants, and is partying so hard, she stage dives off a roof. Luckily, the crowd below catches her. The video closes with a smiling Ke$ha dancing her heart out, proclaiming proudly that "We R Who We R."
While Ke$ha has relied on comedy in many of her past clips, her latest is darker and sexier than the girl who flipped off her parents in the "Tik Tok" video, something she shared with MTV News a few weeks ago.
"This video is a little bit 'sexy time.' I'm not gonna lie: It may induce a boner or two," Ke$ha said, laughing. "I'm not sure, [you'll have to] report back. But I'm hoping for at least one."
She tweeted Wednesday about the video's premiere, writing, "Hot and dangerous!!! Brand spankin new videoooooo for We R Who We R!!!"
Which Ke$ha video is your favorite so far? Chime in below!

'Tron Legacy' And Jeff Bridges: Behind Film's Most Challenging Effect
Visual-effects supervisor Eric Barba reveals how his team pulled off 61-year old Bridges' stunning 3-D reverse-aging.
By Eric Ditzian
Jeff Bridges in "Tron Legacy"
Photo: Disney
For the last few days, MTV News has been taking you inside some of the coolest aspects of "Tron Legacy," from the creative process behind Daft Punk's violins-meet-synthesizers soundtrack to the generation of the film's neon-pulsing motorcycles and warships. Now we're going to take you behind the creation of the film's single-most jaw-dropping visual effect: turning Jeff Bridges from 60-something Oscar-winner into the Bridges of 1984's "Against All Odds."
We caught up with visual-effects supervisor Eric Barba, the driving force behind the CG work on "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," for which technicians both aged Brad Pitt into an old man and turned back time to capture the actor's 20-something look. What they managed to accomplish was nothing short of astounding, and Barba won an Oscar for his efforts.
But what Barba and director Joseph Kosinski set out to create for "Tron Legacy" was something far different — and far more challenging. "It's the hardest thing that's ever been done in visual effects," Barba explained.
See, the film stars two different versions of Bridges' character Kevin Flynn. One is the Flynn who's been trapped inside a computer-generated world for 20 years and who looks exactly like a 60-something Bridges. The other is Clu, a digital manifestation who does not age and thus still looks about 35 years old. To create Clu, Barba's team essentially had to wrap a CG mask around Bridges' face, making him look young again.
What made that task harder than the one in "Benjamin Button" was that, for "Tron," Barba had to do everything in 3-D. "What scared us with Jeff was that we're at the beginning of this technology," he said. "People were very happy with the way Benjamin came across. But there's leeway because we've never seen Brad Pitt as an old man. This was 10 times harder. We all know what Jeff Bridges looks like at 35. Right off the bat, we were setting ourselves up for other people's expectations."
To begin, the filmmakers brought in makeup-effects master Rick Baker ("Men in Black") to build a likeness of a young Bridges' head that would serve as a basis for their CG work. But that likeness soon had to be thrown away, after filmmakers decided they wanted an even younger version of the actor. There was no time to build another head, so Barba's team had to re-sculpt everything in the computer. Then in came Bridges himself.
"We had to derive the face from Jeff's performance, so we built this four-camera, head-mounted system that Jeff would wear on set with the other actors," Barba said. "We'd take the data from those four cameras and triangulate each point and get a floating, 3-D point cloud of his face. We ran that through sophisticated software we wrote and it rebuilt his performance on the younger visage."
Yet that was just the beginning. The effects team also had to mirror the particular movements of Bridges' face — muscles, skin, expressions and the like — so that the CG face would approach a photo-realistic representation rather than dipping into the much-dreaded "uncanny valley" in which CG creations fail to look appropriately human.
Early viewers have been split over the success of Clu: Some have applauded the work, while others have argued the character has not escaped that digital valley. The filmmakers knew exactly what they were getting themselves into when they started out, and Barba remains ecstatic over what they were able to accomplish.
"We knew Clu would be a much, much more difficult challenge then Benjamin," he said. "But hey, someone's got to take those chances and those risks and go for it. We thought this was a great project to do that."

Gwyneth Paltrow Says Husband Chris Martin Is A 'Genius' Actor
'I don't think he would ever do it, but he's genius,' she tells MTV News.

We know that Gwyneth Paltrow has the singing chops to portray a down-on-her-luck Nashville star in "Country Strong." But what MTV News didn't know was whether her husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, has what it takes to venture into the world of acting.
So we went straight to Paltrow and asked: Does Martin have acting skills as stellar as her singing talents?
"Definitely," Paltrow said of Martin's acting potential. "I don't think he would ever do it, but he's genius. Did you ever see him in 'Extras'?" Paltrow offered as proof. In his episode of the short-lived Ricky Gervais show, Martin guest-starred as an arrogant, exaggeratedly self-absorbed version of himself who tries to sneak a mention of a new Coldplay album into a public-service announcement about the need for clean drinking water.
Well, if Martin won't consider acting, might Paltrow consider doing a cover of a Coldplay song?
"Me? God no," Paltrow said. "No. We just can't, like, merge. His career is there and mine is there."
Don't count Paltrow out of the singing game yet, however. She did put some thought into what type of music she'd sing on an album of her own.
"I think if I was going to make a country record, it would be, like, a super-bare, kind of stripped-back kind of country," Paltrow explained. "Like a little bit of bluegrass-influenced kind of thing."
But Paltrow said she wouldn't necessarily limit herself to one genre, saying she really loved singing Cee Lo's "Forget You" on "Glee." "I also love singing '40s standards and stuff like that," she added.
Go for it, Gwyneth! And get your hubby to do some more acting while you're at it.

Selena Gomez Defends Young Stars, Labels Business "Very Hard"
In a new interview with KIIS 108, Selena Gomez sort of stood up for a couple of her fellow young stars.
Asked about growing up in Hollywood, and most likely referencing the recent troubles that have befallen Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato, Gomez told the radio station:
"It's a very hard business and I feel like people don't really understand what we go through. We're kids. People make mistakes. People have to figure out what we like and don't like."
Sounds nice and grounded, doesn't it? Perhaps Justin Bieber fans shouldn't be so quick to hate on Gomez for possibly dating their dream man.
What has kept this star out of the negative news? Says Selena: "I have a great family. I have parents that treat me like a normal kid. I know that I have a responsibility [to my fans]."

'Tron Legacy' And Jeff Bridges: Behind Film's Most Challenging Effect
Visual-effects supervisor Eric Barba reveals how his team pulled off 61-year old Bridges' stunning 3-D reverse-aging.

Jeff Bridges in "Tron Legacy"

For the last few days, MTV News has been taking you inside some of the coolest aspects of "Tron Legacy," from the creative process behind Daft Punk's violins-meet-synthesizers soundtrack to the generation of the film's neon-pulsing motorcycles and warships. Now we're going to take you behind the creation of the film's single-most jaw-dropping visual effect: turning Jeff Bridges from 60-something Oscar-winner into the Bridges of 1984's "Against All Odds."
We caught up with visual-effects supervisor Eric Barba, the driving force behind the CG work on "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," for which technicians both aged Brad Pitt into an old man and turned back time to capture the actor's 20-something look. What they managed to accomplish was nothing short of astounding, and Barba won an Oscar for his efforts.
But what Barba and director Joseph Kosinski set out to create for "Tron Legacy" was something far different — and far more challenging. "It's the hardest thing that's ever been done in visual effects," Barba explained.
See, the film stars two different versions of Bridges' character Kevin Flynn. One is the Flynn who's been trapped inside a computer-generated world for 20 years and who looks exactly like a 60-something Bridges. The other is Clu, a digital manifestation who does not age and thus still looks about 35 years old. To create Clu, Barba's team essentially had to wrap a CG mask around Bridges' face, making him look young again.
What made that task harder than the one in "Benjamin Button" was that, for "Tron," Barba had to do everything in 3-D. "What scared us with Jeff was that we're at the beginning of this technology," he said. "People were very happy with the way Benjamin came across. But there's leeway because we've never seen Brad Pitt as an old man. This was 10 times harder. We all know what Jeff Bridges looks like at 35. Right off the bat, we were setting ourselves up for other people's expectations."
To begin, the filmmakers brought in makeup-effects master Rick Baker ("Men in Black") to build a likeness of a young Bridges' head that would serve as a basis for their CG work. But that likeness soon had to be thrown away, after filmmakers decided they wanted an even younger version of the actor. There was no time to build another head, so Barba's team had to re-sculpt everything in the computer. Then in came Bridges himself.
