"New Moon" director Chris Weitz recently gave an interview to movie site RottenTomatoes.com in which he talked about the status of the film — it's due in theaters November 20 — and spoke at length about the music he's lining up for the soundtrack.

Now, normally, soundtrack stories aren't that interesting ... but two things were different here. First, the "New Moon" album follows the mega-successful "Twilight" soundtrack (which featured a pair of new songs from Paramore and has sold more than 2.1 million copies to date) and second, Weitz mentioned that none other than Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and the Kings of Leon were interested in contributing songs.

For real.

"I am surprised at some of the bands that have said they're interested. It's kind of great," Weitz told the site.

15 July 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | From newser.com | See recent newser news

Now that 2009 is more than halfway over, James Montgomery runs down the best albums of the year—so far—on MTV: Animal Collective, Merriweather Post Pavilion : The No. 1 pick is “the only thing I can remember that has actually lived up to the hype, if not exceeded it.” Phoenix, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix : “Retro pop hyper-focused on a futuristic re-imagination of post-modernism and neo-classicism as proletarian touchstones? That you can dance to?” earns album No. 2 spot. Kelly Clarkson, All I Ever Wanted : “Yes, seriously,” she made it into the top five. Clarkson is “finally realizing her full potential ...

Lily Allen, Mos Def and Kelly Clarkson make the mid-year list, in Bigger Than the Sound.

MTV News Picks For Best Albums of the Year (So Far)

The actual midway point of 2009 occurred on July 2, one week after the death of arguably the greatest entertainer of our generation. It was a pretty somber way to cap off the first 182.5 days of the year and, obviously, pretty much everyone's attention was turned to eulogizing the King of Pop (myself included ... twice over).

One piece I had intended on writing was my annual mid-year "Best Of" list, taking a look at my favorite albums released so far. And, well, here it is. There's lots of ground to cover, and I used a lot of words to do it (more than 2,000?! Jeez ... ), so let's get right to it. Here are my picks — some honorable mentions and a

Hey, guys! I'm so glad y'all made it out to see me in NYC, just gonna stop in here and chat with David Letterman real quick! Do you guys like my costume? I'm really into it. It's like the new-new Kelly Clarkson: a forest gypsy lady meets a frumpy housewife type of look. You know the style—all sorts of unnecessary layers! Anyways, I am a little worried about my jeans, you know? It's like they're sooo flared out that it looks like I have elephant feet. Do you think my highway patrol sunglasses will be enough to distract Dave? Ok! Thanks for coming, you guys! See ya at the county fair next week, right? I hope they give us free drink tickets.

Ryan Seacrest’s $15 Million: He’s Earned It! Seriously!

13 July 2009 11:08 AM, PDT | From MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news

Though the ratings for “American Idol” have been down a bit, that’s hardly Ryan Seacrest’s fault, which is probably why he was able to sign a three-year contract extension worth $45 million, making him the richest reality show host on the market.

In the 2007 film “Knocked Up,” Seacrest (playing himself) goes on a rant about how many jobs he has. “I don’t understand the young talent in this town — I’ve got four jobs! Hell, I’m more famous than half the people we talk to anyway!” The guy actually undershoots his target: Between “Idol,” his on-air gig at E!, his two radio shows (the daily “On the Air With Ryan Seacrest” and the weekly “American Top 40″) and his production duties on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” “Bromance” and “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated,” his schedule is pretty well packed.

But he’s certainly well compensated. And you know what?

Recap: 'So You Think You Can Dance' - Week Four Performances

So hey, July 23rd, Katie Holmes hoofing it up to Judy Garland! And tomorrow night, Kelly Clarkson! Whoo hoo! But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s rewind. Alright, I know this little dance contest is all about building the tension and the drama. I know they whipped out the Wagner because Cailtin and Jason danced to it the week before. But it’s a little crazy melodramatic to start off the show prattling on about the many lives lost, the epic battle to achieve and how it’s all come down to this, the final... 14. Um, that’s still a lot of people....

Watch: Britney Spears' new 'Radar' vid

1 July 2009 12:02 PM, PDT | From Hitfix.com | See recent Hitfix news

It's all mansions and stallions and polo for Britney Spears in the new video version of "Radar," but don't worry, the pop princess isn't all class. The supposedly "leaked" video was directed by Dave Meyers, who has helmed a bazillion other music videos from artists like Slipknot, Jay-z, Kelly Clarkson and Pink, in addition to the clips for Brit's "Lucky," "Boys" and "Outrageous." The song was culled not from Spears' latest "Circus," but from 2007's "Blackout." One wack element of this video is a shot at the hind-quarters of a horse as the pop princess sings the line "animal in the...

The 'Battlefield singer' - who won Us TV talent show 'American Idol' in 2007, with Kelly triumphing in 2002 - admits she would have no hope if she became involved in an altercation with the 27-year-old singer.

Perez Hilton's website has earned millions of hits, but one hit early Monday was heard around the world. Now, the self-proclaimed Queen of all Media and the everyone-else-proclaimed Queen of Mean has the celebrities he usually takes digs at speaking out on the situation.

Hilton has written plenty of low blows towards Clarkson, especially about her fluctuating weight. "All I have to say is, when you dish that much out, you have to be able to take something."

"I'm not saying that violence is fair," she continues. "I wouldn't hit someone."

John Mayer took to his Twitter to offer Perez some advice. "Words have cause and effect, even if the effect is wrong," he said.

It seems like everyone in Hollywood has an opinion when it comes to the incident between gossip blogger Perez Hilton and the Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am. After news broke of their reported altercation in Toronto over the weekend, celebrities began reacting to the news that Will's manager, Polo Molina, allegedly hit Perez after he called Will an anti-gay slur.
