You can't blame B.o.B if he wanted to pinch himself.

The VMA-nominated newcomer is riding an enormous wave via his debut album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray, which has spawned three consecutive top 10 singles, "Nothin' on You," "Airplanes" and his latest, "Magic." And for his "Magic" clip, the Atlanta rapper recruited director Sanaa Hamri (Jay-Z, Christina Aguilera) who put B.o.B in the middle of a raucous house party.

But in the video, which premiered Thursday (September 2) at midnight on MTV.com, Bobby Ray can't seem to believe his good fortune, As he and his "Magic" collaborator, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, jam in the backyard, B.o.B mentally traces back to earlier in the day when the young rapper first wakes up. B.o.B tries to shake awake a sleeping version of himself but to no avail.

The girls, the party, all the happenings do seem to be going on — and all for him. Partygoers run through the house and Bobby Ray snaps pictures with the girl of his dreams. But in an instant — as quick as he's been clicking Polaroid pictures — the party is over and B.o.B awakens.

Turns out he was dreaming.

The sleep-eyed MC, however, takes a look around his bedroom and notices two photos on the ground: two snapshots of him and his leading lady. He's got the magic, indeed.

Last week, "Magic" landed on the Billboard Hot 100 at the #10 position. The track follows "Nothin' on You," which went to the top of the chart, and "Airplanes," a top 5 hit. Also on Thursday, B.o.B opened for Eminem and Jay-Z during the superstar MCs' Home and Home concert series in Detroit; he's scheduled to open for the pair again on Friday (September 3), and later this month in New York.

'I play a pharmaceutical sales rep who is very, um, outgoing,' Alba tells MTV News of the Ben Stiller/ Robert De Niro comedy.By Kara Warner

In addition to kicking butt in Robert Rodriguez's "Machete," Jessica Alba is also appearing among the star-studded cast of "Little Fockers," the third installment in the franchise that features Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro playing out their often awkward son-in-law vs. overprotective father-in-law relationship.

"I play a pharmaceutical sales rep who is very, um, outgoing and has no sense of personal space," Alba recently told MTV News. She hinted that her character might inadvertently try to get a little too close to Stiller's lovable Gaylord Focker. "She says exactly what's on her mind and she has no filter at all," the actress explained. "She was really fun because I'm pretty much the opposite of that."

Alba admitted that keeping a straight face on set was a big challenge, since most of her scenes were with funnyman Ben Stiller. Still, she had a blast, she said, particularly with her character's freewheeling ways. "It was just fun and pretty liberating to play someone who was just so open and so free and totally crazy."

"Little Fockers" is set a few months after the events of the last installment, "Meet the Fockers," as Stiller and Teri Polo's parents-to-be busily prepare for baby. Producer Jay Roach told MTV News earlier this year that Stiller's attempt to remain calm is thwarted by a familiar face (and former nemesis).

"It's Owen Wilson coming back with a new passion for Ben's wife, Teri Polo," Roach said. "And of course it's hidden and it's all under the surface, but it causes a lot of new wrinkles in the relationship between all of them," the producer explained.

In addition to Alba and Wilson, "Fockers" will also feature Dustin Hoffman in the role of Stiller's father opposite Barbra Streisand, an addition to the cast that was only recently made due to the film reportedly coming in under budget.

"Little Fockers" is due in theaters December 22.

Lady Gaga’s ’shocking’ album

August 26th, 2010 | 36 views | Category: News | Leave comment

Lady Gaga's producer has promised her next album will be "shocking".

RedOne - who was behind Gaga's biggest hits 'Just Dance', 'Poker Face' and 'Bad Romance' - has worked on two new tracks for the singer's forthcoming third album, and claims the new songs will go against people's expectations.

RedOne - real name Nadir Khayat - told Billboard.com: "It's going to be shocking, shocking, shocking!

"You never want to go too far from your brand - people love you for a reason. But we still want to give them something with a kick, something that makes them say, 'Oh my God! We didn't expect this!"

He added he encouraged Gaga to work with other producers on her album - which is set for release next year - although he wouldn't confirm who has been involved in the project.

RedOne added: "I got a sound out of her, and that made it easier for other producers. Her sound is so defined that no matter what people can follow it. That sound belongs to her."

Lady Gaga has previously described the new album as: "My absolute greatest work I've ever done: The message, the melodies, the direction, the meaning. It is utter liberation."

Gaga has already previewed one new track, 'You and I', from the record, on her current 'The Monster Ball' tour.

Gaga has also vowed to release the title of the album at midnight on New Year's Eve in typically spectacular style, saying: "I think I'm gonna get the album title tattooed on me and put out the photo."

Backstreet Boys plan ‘ladies night’

August 26th, 2010 | 21 views | Category: News | Leave comment

New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys are set to create the "Ultimate Ladies' Night Out".

Following a successful joint appearance by the two 90s boybands in New York earlier this summer, the two groups are now hoping to create a full tour together.

A source told the E! News service: "The idea is to recreate the boy band phenomenon. It will be the ultimate ladies' night out."

The bands are said to be in talks with promoters Live Nation about staging a tour across the US as early as next March.

The initial meeting of two groups was at a New Kids show at Radio City Music Hall in June, where they sang Backstreet Boys' hit 'I Want It That Way' to the amazement of fans.

After the show New Kids On The Block singer Donnie Wahlberg wrote on twitter: "As for tonight's Concert...Backstreet Boys got my respect forever!"

There are also rumours managers for the two groups are in talks for them to collaborate on recording a single ahead of the tour. No details as to whether the tour could come to Europe have been released at this time.

Courtney Love settles legal battle

August 26th, 2010 | 22 views | Category: News | Leave comment

Courtney Love has settled a legal battle over money earned from Nirvana songs.

Courtney - the widow of Nirvana's frontman Kurt Cobain - inherited most of the band's publishing rights upon his death in 1994.

She had become embroiled in a legal battle with management company London and Co two years ago, when they sued her for $1 million, claiming Courtney failed to share her earnings from selling a portion of the rights.

It is estimated Courtney's earnings from the sale was nearly $20 million.

However, London And Co has now told a Los Angeles court the case has been settled, which has been confirmed by Courtney's lawyer, James Janowitz - though no further details have been given.

Despite Kurt Cobain presently being the world's highest earning dead musician, Courtney has made repeated claims she has been defrauded out of all the singer's money, and at one point was too poor to afford even shoes for her and daughter Frances.

She said last year: "Why did I have no money? The simple answer to that is because I'm a widow and because I'm a woman.

"I get exploited. Not when I'm playing music. But financially, very much so."

Kurt Cobain took his own life in 1994 after battling heroin addiction.

Kings Of Leon scared of pigeon backlash

August 26th, 2010 | 8 views | Category: News | Leave comment

Kings Of Leon are worried about getting showered with human excrement when they go on tour.

The rock group caused uproar earlier this summer when they were forced to abandon a show in the US because pigeons kept defecating on them - leaving them worried a deranged fan could do something worse.

Singer Caleb Followill told NME magazine: "We still love St Louis, and we'll go back and take s**t on the head again if we have to.

"I guess now there's a risk of someone throwing human poop at us. There's probably someone out there who's mad enough at us to come to a show and try to start round two."

After the show in which the band was covered with pigeon mess, bassist Jared Followill said they had initially tried to brave the pigeons.

He said: "We didn't want to cancel the show, so we went for it. We tried to play.

"It was ridiculous. I was hit by pigeons during each of the first three songs. We had 20 songs on the set list so by the end I would have been covered head to toe."

The band's management eventually ordered the band to exit the stage, with the band's manager Andy Mendelsohn describing the excrement as a "toxic health hazard" to the band.
