13 hours ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Singing the national nnthem has become practically a singer's true test—from American Idol alum Pia Toscano to Idol judge Steven Tyler and even Christina Aguilera, who flubbed the lyrics but still sang her brains out.

The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure

2 May 2012 9:49 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Prometheus? Pah. The Dark Knight Rises? So what? This blockbuster comes to you courtesy of a marketing visionary

Since this summer is brimming with an unusually large brace of colossal blockbusters, it's only natural that some are going to get left behind. Hopefully, The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure won't be one of them.

Why would it be? After all, the official synopsis is easily the equal of, say, Prometheus, given that it revolves around three friends trying to retrieve the five most magical balloons in all of Lovelyloveville before returning to their cottage in time for a surprise birthday party. What's more, the poster clearly states that the film is from "the marketing visionary who brought you Teletubbies and Thomas the Tank Engine". If there's one thing that kids are guaranteed to go crazy for, it's a marketing visionary. Does The Dark Knight Rises poster celebrate a marketing visionary? »

'Braxton Family Values': Toni Wants Out Of Season 3

30 March 2012 2:37 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

On the "Braxton Family Values" (Wed., 9 p.m. Et on We) reunion special Toni Braxton opened up about the pressure of featuring in a television reality show.

Wendy Williams asked Toni if it was her conscious decision to not feature on Season 2 so much. "It is extremely invasive," Toni said. "Everywhere you go in your life is 'there,' and for me, I don't like that."

She added that "over time you forget that the cameras are there, and then you become completely open and ... you're exposed."

So, will Toni feature in Season 3? To sister Tamar's horror, Toni hinted that no, she won't appear in the show. "But 'The Braxtons' is not 'The Braxtons' without Toni!" said Tamar.

What Wendy wanted to know next was, based on Toni's experiences of martial and financial troubles, is it better marry for love or money? To loud groans from the audience, Toni answered: »

Shockingly Good New Toni Braxton Song Continues Full-Fledged '90s Revival

15 March 2012 6:57 AM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »

Everything old is new again.

Here in the MTV Newsroom, we love the '90s. We jump at the chance to bring you news about NKotB, jam to Ginuwine on Friday afternoons, celebrate the reunion of Brandy and Monica, get excited about the impending return of Fiona Apple and champion the return of boy bands.

So it is with great excitement that we announce the return of yet another '90s icon: Toni Braxton.

Sure, she never really went anywhere. Her last album, 2010's Pulse enjoyed a top-ten debut on the Billboard album chart, she's appeared with her sisters on the We reality show "Braxton Family Values" and she was a contestant on the seventh season of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

But it's safe to say that her true career peak was in the mid-to-late '90s when she was churning out some of the hottest R&B hits in the game, »

Eddie Murphy Says He Still Wants To Host The Oscars One Day

1 March 2012 10:17 AM, PST | x17online.com | See recent x17online news »

Los Angeles, California (X17online) - Eddie Murphy might have resigned from hosting the Oscars this year, but the comedian hopes to add the gig to his resume someday, he revealed while promoting his latest film, A Thousand Words. "It's still something that I would like to do one day, because all the best comics have done it. It's one of the few things I haven't done in my 35 years in this business, so I would like that to be part of my resume as well," the Tower Heist actor explained to Access Hollywood. Murphy backed out of hosting Hollywood's biggest night when Brett Ratner, who was set to direct the show, was replaced by Brian Grazer after he made homophobic comments at a Los Angeles film screening. Murphy didn't want to continue on without Ratner, who had a vision for the award show that truly appealed to the actor. »

Eddie Murphy and Toni Braxton: New couple alert?

29 February 2012 4:02 PM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

It looks like Eddie Murphy may have a new woman in his life: Toni Braxton.

Us Weekly reports that the couple has been quietly dating for four months. The source tells us, that Braxton, 44, and Murphy, 50, "are seeing each other and very into it."

While a rep for Braxton insists that the two are just friends, Us' source says, "Their kids have met and everything. It's getting very serious."

Murphy divorced his wife of 13 years, Nicole Mitchell, in 2006. The two have five children together. He then briefly dated former Spice Girl Melanie Brown until she announced she was pregnant with his child and he, in an interview, said, "I don't know whose child that is until it comes out and has a blood test." It did and it was, according to Brown's reps. He then "symbolically" married Tracey Edmonds in 2008, but split 16 days later.

The 10 Most Awesomely Terrible Super Bowl Halftime Shows Of All Time

1 February 2012 3:01 PM, PST | BestWeekEver | See recent BestWeekEver news »

I’m not excited whatsoever for Madonna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. Not because I dislike Madonna or think that she’ll do a bad job; on the contrary, I’m sure she’ll play the hits and bring out A-list special guests galore and make a giant entertaining spectacle and it’ll all be completely polished and well-done. The only problem is, there’s nothing memorable or transcendent about ‘good’ Super Bowl Halftime Shows. Prince and Bruce Springsteen each did about as well as a Super Bowl performer could possibly aim for, and both performances still boiled down to just 12 pretty good minutes from musicians whose fans have assuredly seen them do far better 2-3 hour concerts on other occasions. The biggest standout moment was still Springsteen sliding into the camera. The only time we remember a Super Bowl Halftime Show is when it is memorably bad. That is to say, »
