No hay más Led Zeppelin

A pesar de lo dicho ayer, Peter Mensch, manager del guitarrista Jimmy Page, se retractó totalmente en eso que la banda buscaría un reemplazo al ultragenial Robert Plant para seguir rockeando y toureándola por el mundo tras su show de 2007 en el O2 Arena de Londres por el poder de la música más sexual de la historia. No habrá más Led Zeppelin, no hay planes de que lo haya.

Mensch comentó: "Led Zeppelin se acabó. Si no los vieron en el 2007, se los perdieron. Probaron reemplazantes a Robert Plant, pero nada funcionó. Se acabó. No hay planes para continuar. Francamente, ojalá todos dejaran de hablar al respecto."

Los fans no están nada contentos, especialmente los británicos, considerando los precios delirantes de las entradas del show reunión.

¿Y a ti? ¿Qué te parece todo esto?

Bieber Fever swept New York's Times Square on Wednesday evening as Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never" had its New York premiere. Plenty of Beliebers waited in hopes of getting a peek at the teen heartthrob, but a few of his friends came out to show their support as well, including former "Run's House Star" Diggy Simmons.

One of hip-hop's brightest up-and-comers, Diggy (and his younger brother Russy) hit the red carpet, where he said he wasn't exactly sure he had the fever. "I guess so," Diggy told MTV News. "This has been my boy for a while, so I'm just here supporting him."

The rising MC also revealed that he and Bieber plan to work together, but he still wasn't sure what the collaboration would sound like. "A mix of both of us, maybe a song about a girl, a life experience, you never know."

A collabo isn't surprising considering the two have a lot in common. Both have burgeoning careers ahead of them, Bieber has his Beliebers and Simmons has "Team Diggy." They're also both being guided by phenomenal mentors: Bieber is famously mentored by Usher, while Diggy has come up under the tutelage of his father Rev. Run of the legendary Run-DMC and his uncle Russell Simmons, in addition to Pharrell Williams.

While Diggy hasn't enjoyed the same success as Justin just yet, he has released two mixtapes, First Flight and Airborne, that have been well-received by fans. And he also told us he's started working on his debut album, though he was coy about specifics apart from the fact that producer Boi-1da would be involved.

"I'm working on my freshman album, my debut album. I just started that two weeks ago. And I'm working on another mixtape that I'm going to put out this spring."

Justin Bieber, Jon Stewart Switch Bodies During 'Daily Show'

Ever wonder what would happen if Justin Bieber switched bodies with a 48-year-old political comedian? Well, viewers caught a glimpse of that scenario on Thursday when the 16-year-old teen sensation stopped by "The Daily Show" to act in a skit alongside host Jon Stewart.

Rocking Stewart's traditional suit and tie getup, Bieber, pretending to be the host, opened the late-night talk show behind the funnyman's desk during the program's introduction. But before he got the chance to dive into the evening's first topic, the set was crashed by the satirical critic, who, clad in a blue hoodie, revealed that the duo had switched bodies. "Yo, yo, yo. What's up? What's up, swag? Yo, what's up? I found the magic skull, swag. We can finally switch back to our original bodies, yo!" yelled Stewart, acting as the singer.

While Stewart was reluctant to switch back to his old body, he agreed, announcing there was one thing he had to do before making the final move. "Fine. But can I just do something one last time?" asked Bieber-as-Stewart, running his fingers through his own hair. "It's just so natural." In the end, the stars did the ol' switcheroo when they touched the skull, shaking forcefully before returning back to their original selves.

As the Biebster walked off the set, he apologized for a tattoo inking he had left on Stewart. "Did he say something about a tattoo he left on my body?" the host asked the roaring audience. "Wait, why is my ass sore? Wait a minute. What the...?" The screen then flashed to a tramp stamp tattoo on the comedian's lower back that read: "#neversaynever."

Stewart screamed out the singer's name before plugging JB's feature film debut. "Seriously though, you should go see the movie," he said. "It's actually quite good, not that I'm the target demographic, even though inside, I am a 10-year-old girl."

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' Is 'A Smash,' Perez Hilton Says

With a week and a half until Lady Gaga premieres the title track off her May album release, Born This Way, anticipation is high for any information about the song. Her pal, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, has heard the song — and the album, for that matter — and without giving away too much, he did share a bit about what fans will hear come February 13.

"Fans can expect all the hype to be true with 'Born This Way' and with the album," he dished to MTV News when we chatted about his cameo in Rihanna's "S&M" video. "I'm very perceptive of what people are saying, thinking, and so is Gaga, and perhaps the biggest critiques, just based on the lyrics, is that it's a very gay song."

On the track, Gaga sings, "Don't be a drag, just be a queen." She also sings, "No matter gay, straight, or bi/ Lesbian, transgendered life/ I'm on the right track, baby." Those are only a sampling of the lyrics, in which Gaga also sings about gender and racial equality.

"And you know what? It is a very gay song — unapologetically, gay-in-your-face gay — but it's also a universal song that can relate to everyone," Hilton explained. "To all of us outsiders, to all of us freaks, to all of us who feel different. And the music is undeniable. It sounds like a smash. It is a smash. It is one of the best songs of Gaga's career."

In a post on his blog late last month, Hilton shared that Gaga's Little Monsters won't be disappointed. "Get ready world!!!! Here she comes!!!! We've heard the song and — it MORE than lives up to the hype!!!" he wrote.

"We've been holding a big secret from you all, which is we've heard the whole album. We've been there every step of the way and ... This album is going to change culture! When we can say more, we will! For now ... Don't be a drag, just be a queen!!!"

Michael Jackson Wrongful Death Suit Vs. AEG Can Proceed, Judge Rules

Katherine Jackson and family are pursuing a claim against concert promoter.
By Gil Kaufman


Michael Jackson

When he was alive, Michael Jackson was forever embroiled in a series of complex and expensive-sounding lawsuits. But even in death, the late King of Pop is the subject of major legal action. None could potentially be bigger than the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the pop icon's mother, Katherine Jackson, against concert promotion giant AEG Live.

Reuters reported that a Los Angeles judge ruled on Wednesday that the civil lawsuit can go forward. It will proceed in parallel with the criminal case against Jackson's physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, who has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with Jackson's June 2009 death from an overdose of the powerful surgical anesthetic propofol. Murray is the only person charged in Jackson's death and he is currently awaiting trial in that matter.

Katherine Jackson's lawsuit — filed in September on behalf of her and Jackson's three young children — accuses AEG of being responsible for the medical decisions made by Murray, whose salary was paid by the touring company behind Jackson's attempted "This Is It" comeback shows in London. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos denied a motion on Wednesday by AEG to dismiss Katherine Jackson's suit, but warned Jackson's attorneys that they would need to show evidence of "fraud, negligent infliction of emotional distress and civil conspiracy" in order to win the case.

The judge has already said she doubts they can prove the latter charge, because the suit does not detail any agreement between Murray and AEG to break the law in providing medical care to Jackson.

"If the object was to get him to rehearsals, I don't see that as a wrongful or illegal act," the judge said. A lawyer for AEG told the judge that the company could not have predicted beforehand that Murray's medical decisions would result in Jackson's death. Court papers also show that AEG "did not choose to hire Murray" and had only participated in negotiations to bring him on as an independent contractor. Michael, who had previously been treated by Murray in Las Vegas, was reportedly the one who suggested the cardiologist serve as his personal, on-call physician during the "This Is It" rehearsals and shows.

Katherine Jackson's attorney recently dropped choreographer Kenny Ortega from the lawsuit based on new information they received about his actions. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for March 22, just six days before Murray is due back in court for his trial. Jackson's father, Joseph, has twice attempted to file a wrongful death suit in the matter, though his is focused on Murray and the Las Vegas pharmacy that supplied the propofol, not AEG Live.
