Lindsay Lohan's Legal Woes, Lady Gaga's Meat Dress Highlight Biggest Photos Of 2010
29 December 2010 7:30 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
When pop culture historians usually look back on any given year, there are a handful of individual moments that really stand out. And while 2010 did feature a few big moments in time (Lady Gaga's mead dress-enhanced acceptance speech at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and the day Lil Wayne was released from jail come to mind), the year was more about a series of running themes.
Over the past 12 months, there seemed to be certain stories that you couldn't get away from because they seemed to keep happening. For example, the devastating series of earthquakes in Haiti kick-started a number of reactions, including an outpouring of direct support, the Hope For Haiti telethon, the release of the new version of "We Are the World" and the saga of Wyclef Jean's run for president of his home nation.
Lindsay Lohan's year was also checkered, broken up by a series of court appearances, »

Mark Zuckerberg, Time's Person of the Year: Meghan McCain Defends Choice
16 December 2010 5:50 AM, PST | The Daily Beast | See recent The Daily Beast news »
Time's choice of Mark Zuckerberg as Person of the Year is proving controversial, but Meghan McCain defends the pick and says he's the Henry Ford of our day.
Wednesday's announcement that Facebook co-founder, CEO and pop culture phenomenon, Mark Zuckerberg, was named Time magazine's illustrious Person of the Year has led to many in the media crying that the choice blasphemes the church that is the hallowed Person of the Year legacy. I was one of the people on Time's panel to nominate and argue over who was most deserving of the title. My two choices were the Tea Party and Mark Zuckerberg. The Time panel consisted of myself, Joe Trippi, Google's Marissa Miller (who petitioned hard for Steve Jobs to be considered for Person of the Year), Wyclef Jean, and the executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement Daisy Khan. Everyone chose both interesting and poignant candidates. »

Wyclef on His 'Haitian Experience' and Lauryn Hill
8 December 2010 9:00 AM, PST | Essence | See recent Essence news »
This has been one helluva year for Wyclef Jean. In January his homeland, Haiti, suffered a devastating earthquake, forcing the singer/songwriter into high gear. His non-governmental organization, Yele, raised over $1 million to help those left homeless by the quake. But that wasn't enough. In August, Jean decided to run for President of Haiti and was soon forced to bow out of the race for logistical reasons. Then exhaustion and fatigue hit, landing him in the hospital. Despite all of that, the Grammy-winning singer is back with an Ep, "If I were President: My Haitian Experience." Here's what he had to say about running for president, his new music and Lauryn Hill's return to music »

Shakira Tells The Truth With Her Hips: Wake-Up Video
29 November 2010 6:00 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
Were you aware that one of the most massive singles of 2010 was Shakira's "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)"? As one of a handful of anthems dedicated to the World Cup, it was a chart-topping hit in just about every country except the United States. Such has been the case for Shakira since the beginning of her career, as while she is extremely popular here, she is a true superstar on the international stage, able to sell out stadiums without breaking much of a sweat. Though she has had a handful of hits in the U.S. (like the current single "Loca" and last year's "She Wolf," for example), she came closest to ubiquity in this country when she released Oral Fixation Vol. 2, which came out on this day in 2005.
"The title comes from the fact that I have always lived through my mouth," Shakira said of the title when the album dropped. »

This November, Don't Shave: Wake-Up Video
1 November 2010 5:00 AM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
Just in case the sharp snap in the air, the World Series or the trick-or-treaters didn't give it away, it should be noted that it is now officially November. That means that 2010 is almost over, and that everything in culture will be moving towards an endgame. Oscar-baiting movies will roll out by the truckload, high-profile artists will drop shopping soundtrack albums, big-time video games will try to take over the holiday market and television will (mostly) stay exactly the same. In the meantime, it's time to start planning for your holiday travel, working out your Christmas list and making reservations for New Year's Eve. Because before you know it, the year will be gone and we'll have to do all of this all over again.
In addition to containing one of the definitive American holidays in Thanksgiving, November also hosts a number of other celebrations. Today (Monday, November 1) is All Saints Day, »

Kanye West Takes Sway Along To His Surprise NYC Show
25 October 2010 12:09 PM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
If you were anywhere near a television set, online or on Twitter, I'm sure that your Saturday evening was held hostage by Kanye West mania! For me, it was an entire night flooded with G.O.O.D Music. It all started at MTV studios with the debut of his "Runaway" movie and an in-depth, live Q&A immediately afterward. Kanye was in rare form and seemed extremely ecstatic and gratified that the world finally saw this piece of art.
The night didn't end there for me. Following the interview, we headed to Platinum Sounds Studios, owned by Wyclef Jean and bassist Jerry "Wonder," in midtown Manhattan. There, I watched Ye carefully sift through song selections on his laptop for what was to be a surprise performance at Williamsburg's Brooklyn Bowl (one that I almost ruined unknowingly by mentioning it during our Q&A session).

Looks like Wyclef Jean's not getting Bill Clinton's vote. And vice versa, no doubt. Planting himself firmly on Team Sean Penn, the former prez has donated $500,000 to the Oscar winner's charity, the J/P Haitian Relief Organization, through his own Clinton Foundation. So, what's Penn gonna do with all that cash? Photos: Celeb do-gooders! A supporter of Penn's from the get-go, Clinton's half-million-dollar contribution will help provide funding to build a new bridge in Petionville, a camp run by Penn's organization.

Clean-Cut Naked Cowboy Looks Just Like Jacob From Lost
7 October 2010 9:30 AM, PDT | TheFabLife | See recent TheFabLife news »
This is easily one of the weirdest things we’ve ever written, but here goes. The man known as the Naked Cowboy is familiar to anyone who has ever been in Times Square or seen an M&M’s commercial, and he has decided to run for president. Like Wyclef Jean and Donald Trump before him, we have no idea what his real platform is, but since he’s vaguely famous and pop-culture-related we’re interested in what he has to say, no matter how dumb. Except that, in his effort to clean up, it turns out that the Naked Cowboy, who’s normally, you know, naked and has long hair, has turned into another fearless leader, Jacob from Lost. One little haircut and all we can think about is his cabin on a remote part of the island and his mysteriously powerful touch. The resemblance is pretty uncanny, but »

Chelsea Handler Tweets about 'potential project' with 50 Cent
7 October 2010 7:20 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
So Chelsea Handler has definitely noticed all the buzz about her purported romance with Curtis (50 Cent) Jackson, maybe even Forbes anointing her and Fiddy the new Hollywood "Power Couple" because of their combined (close to $40 million) incomes.
But Chelsea took to Twitter Wednesday (Oct 6) to assure her fans that her cozy-looking meeting with Mr. Cent in a New Orleans jazz club was just a meeting about a "potential project."
"Everyone, calm down," Handler tweeted. "I met with mr. Cent about a potential project. There's nothing to report yet, ill let you know if there is."
So just what could that project be? Let's consider a few options.
A bi-racial rom-com? They're both doing movies. A couples clothing line? He's already got a fragrance. A duet rap song? Maybe a music video? If she's had enough vodka, we're betting Chels can really belt out a tune.
Or is the word 'potential »
