Nino Brown: The Road to Rikers, Part 2
On Saturday night, Lil Wayne and DJ Scoob Doo sent in a video clip featuring footage they shot that afternoon. Among other things, Wayne said it was time to party before he begins his expected one-year prison term at New York’s Rikers Island.
But in fact he was doing the exact opposite. Wayne was back at work, filming several more music videos before his sentencing on gun charges on Tuesday.
“I’m shooting seven videos today,” Wayne said in an exclusive new clip, shot in his trailer on the Miami video set.
One of the videos of the night was for the Rebirth track “Runnin’.”
“I’mma show y’all the [work] ethic of a true artist,” Wayne says in the clip. “You know what I’m talkin’ about? Seven videos. I shot 10 in two days before. Now we about to do seven in one night. ['Runnin' '] was one. Next we about to do Drake’s song called ‘Afrika Boombatta.’ ”
The New Orleans Fireman then began mulling over his wardrobe for Drake’s shoot. He was deciding between one of his brand-new tees promoting his Twitter account, @liltunechi, or a funky interpretation of deceased legend Marilyn Monroe.
“Gotta wear one of my @liltunechi shirts on there,” Wayne said. ” ‘Cause that song is a fun song. So I could wear that. Then again it’s Drake, so you might wanna get a little fly for his sh–.”
Wayne then pulled out a T-shirt featuring Monroe with tattoos all over her arm.
“Yeah, that’s stupid,” the Birdman Jr. said of the Monroe shirt. “I might have to rock that.”
This latest clip of Wayne starts with the acclaimed performer showing off all the BET Hip-Hop Awards in his house. Later he says he needs more VMAs.
“I got a house full of BET Awards,” Wayne said with a grin. “I got one MTV award. MTV, holla atcha boy now. I’m not gonna mess up your function. I’m just gonna come get my award, thank God, thank my ‘hood, thank my fam. I ain’t gotta perform.
“Give me an award for nothin’,” he continued with a chuckle. ” ‘The award for nothin’ goes to Lil Wayne.’ That’s all I need. MTV award for nothin’, man.”
Wayne and DJ Scoob Doo are also filming the reality DVD “The Nino Brown Story Part 3.” The first two installments are available at DJ Scoob Doo’s Web site.
Check back with MTV News for more of Wayne’s “Road to Rikers.”

J. Lo’s television blitz continues with ‘How I Met Your Mother’ cameo, rumored ‘Glee’ appearance.

Jennifer Lopez spoofs “We Are the World” on “SNL” on Febuary 27

Jennifer Lopez might be between record labels, but her television appearances have been fast and frequent.
After filming an episode of CBS’ “How I Met Your Mother” last month, playing a sexy self-help guru who seduces Neil Patrick Harris’ character, Lopez hit “Saturday Night Live” for the first time in almost a decade.
“The first time I was on this show was 10 years ago. … Back then I was single and traveling around with a big entourage,” Lopez said, opening the show in a form-fitting black leather dress. “But people grow up; now I’m married with two beautiful children.”
The singer/actress went on to have an awkward conversation with comedian and “SNL” cast member Kenan Thompson, who was posing as a discarded member of her 1990s entourage, flanked by two drag queens wearing her infamous green barely-there dress and a denim bodysuit. All ended well as Thompson left the stage with the drag queens in tow and J. Lo began the show.
Another skit portrayed “We Are the World 3,” a spoof of the recent remake. Lopez played Rihanna, wearing a black and white Balmain-inspired leather jacket with gold hoops, hipster sunglasses and a blond cropped wig.
“There comes a time, eh!, when we heed a certain call, eh!” Lopez sang, poking fun at the “Rude Boy” singer.
In the next skit, Lopez was part of a Winter Olympics curling team. She played a confused Telemundo reporter covering the Winter Olympics in another.
“We don’t understand these, es loca!” said Lopez, wearing an orange blazer.
The strangest clip had to be a mock celebrity news interview in which Lopez was questioned by Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader, leading the Bronx native to scream “paciencia y fe” (”patience and faith”) like a madwoman before stomping out of view.
Lopez also performed two guiter-led songs including the Danja-produced, Wynter Gordon-written “Starting Over” from her forthcoming album, Love? Her LP is slated to hit stores this summer. Lopez still has not specified what label she has signed to, but Deadline Hollywood, the blog that originally broke the story of the Sony split, reported that she is in talks with Island Def Jam. Neither she nor her former label, Sony Records, has discussed what precipitated the split, but Deadline speculated that it might have been a response to the poor critical and commercial reception to the album’s first official single, “Louboutins,” which failed to light up the charts.
Lopez’s episode of “How I Met Your Mother” airs March 8, and she is rumored to be in talks for an appearance on the Golden Globe-winning show “Glee.”

MC hosts and performs on show, which airs March 15.

Nicki Minaj
NEW YORK — With Lil Wayne scheduled to turn himself in to begin his one-year prison sentence on Tuesday, the rapper’s Young Money crew will undoubtedly move into the spotlight as they look to keep their boss’ brand burning hot.
Drake is the heir apparent, but YM’s lady of rhyme, Nicki Minaj, has proven she’s just as capable of being a Weezy ambassador.
On Saturday night, the female MC entertainingly pulled double duty hosting BET’s “Rip the Runway” with actor Pooch Hall and performing alongside Ludacris.
“Pooch, you haven’t even complimented me on my shoes yet,” Nicki said, teasing her co-host as the pair introduced the show, set to air March 15 on BET and Centric.
“The Game” actor quickly made amends, christening his counterpart “Sexy Minaj.” She certainly earned the praise: Her hot-pink minidress was hugging her curves like a long-lost relative. The dress was one of many outfit changes for Minaj.
Ludacris got the crowd off their feet for the first of many times throughout the night when he kicked things off with his latest single, “My Chick Bad.”
“My chick bad, tell me if you seen her,” Luda rapped. “She always bring the racket like Venus and Serena.”
Minaj stormed onto the stage for the third verse, much to the delight of her fans — there were plenty of Barbiez on-board — in a snake-print bodysuit and pink wig.
“Trash talk to them then I put them in a Hefty,” she rhymed. “Running down the court, I’m dunking on them Lisa Leslie.”
Along with the “Rip the Runway” performances, new designers’ spring and summer lines were presented.
BET’s “106 & Park” co-host Rocsi Diaz, Sean John model Miguel Perdomo and artist Amanda Diva were among those strutting down the catwalk.
Upstart MC B.o.B. a.k.a. Bobby Ray performed his first single, “Nothin’ on You,” as the Tennille White Chicago line was showcased.
Trina was partnered with Haute Couture during her performance.
Newcomer Roscoe Dash and Soulja Boy Tell’em had the rowdiest performance of the night, hands down, with “All the Way Turnt Up.”
The song was paired with sporty clothing line Protege and featured a model in high heels frantically dribbling a basketball to the beat of the horn-laden number.
“We alll the waaaay turnt up,” Roscoe sang on the chorus as SB darted back and forth across the stage.
A solo turn by Nicki Minaj and performances by Janelle Monáe and Estelle featuring Kardinal Offishall rounded out the proceedings.

‘It’s that thing where they go really slow — and then they go mental for a few seconds!’ the ‘Harry Potter’ star explains.

When the Olympics are going on, as they have been for the past few weeks, we are a country torn asunder. Some people watch them, some watch anything but them, and a small-but-increasingly vocal minority would undoubtedly love to have Quidditch included in competition. Recently, we caught up with “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe who, while discussing his work with the Trevor Project (a nonprofit suicide- and crisis-prevention hotline for gay and questioning youth), was eager to express some thoughts that should delight all three factions.
“As a Brit, the winter Olympics aren’t something you get all heads-up about,” the London-born star explained. “But I have been watching a bit of the hockey.”
Excuse us? The boy wizard is a fan of the blue-collar sport overflowing with bruises, blood and beer-soaked fans? But wait, it gets weirder.
“I’ve been amazed at how much I’ve been [enjoying] curling,” Radcliffe said of another sport he likes watching, one that is as intrinsically Canadian as it is endearingly silly-looking. “[I like it] just because it demands so little of you to watch it.”
Always diplomatic, the 20-year-old star stopped short of dissing curling. “It’s a highly skilled thing, I’m sure,” Radcliffe said of curling. “But to actually watch it is very easy. It’s like you’re being hypnotized or something!
“It’s sweeping!” he laughed. “It’s that thing where they go really slow — and then they go mental for a few seconds! I love it. So I’ve been getting into the curling; Sweden got caned last night by Canada.”
Radcliffe loves the Olympic sport so much, in fact, that he said once Harry’s Quidditch days are over, he may trade in his Nimbus 2000 for a different sort of broom.
“I could be [a curling athlete]; yeah, there we go,” Radcliffe laughed. “When ‘Potter’ finishes, I can do that.”
