Review: New Pauly D show has more than a little heart

By Rick Massimo

Pauly D.jpg

MTV

Pauly D steps out starting Thursday.

Johnston’s Paul Delvecchio has seen his star rise as part of the notoriously hardpartying crew on MTV’s reality hit “Jersey Shore.” But starting Thursday night, the DJ steps out on his own in “The Pauly D Project,” which premieres at 10:30 p.m. on MTV. It takes the high-living ethos of the older show and adds more than a little Ocean State charm.

“I’m just Pauly D from Rhode Island,” he says to open the premiere episode, and adding soon after that Johnston is “a really small town, but I love it.”

The show documents the travels and trials behind Delvecchio’s DJ career, as the first two episodes follow him and the Rhode Island friends who comprise his entourage to Las Vegas for a tryout and, later, to begin a residency. Along the way, there are plenty of misadventures, hookups, friction and more than a little heart.

More to come from Lemony Snicket

By Features staff

Against the apparent wishes of the author, a new Lemony Snicket series begins this fall.

“Who Could That Be At This Hour?” will be out in October, according to the people at Little Brown Books for Young Readers. It’s the first of four volumes of the “All the Wrong Questions” series, a “highly autobiographical account” of Snicket’s childhood.

In keeping with a running gag that Snicket — the pen name for series author Daniel Handler — discourages people from reading his books, Little Brown shared with reporters an e-mail purporting to be from him. The “Snicketemail” asks Little Brown to postpone its announcement.

Although Little Brown plans to print 1 million copies, Snicket wonders in the e-mail “why anyone would be interested” in the new series.

MUSIC NOTES – BBC Children in Need single and more

Labrinth, Tinchy, Chipmunk and Wretch 32 Come Together To Help BBC Children in Need and release official single ‘Teardrop’ . The official BBC Children in Need single will get one of its most credible makeovers to date this year as the likes of Labrinth, Tinchy Stryder, Chipmunk, Wretch 32 and Tulisa from NDubz present their own re-interpretation of Massive Attack’s timeless single ‘Teardrop’, with the new lyrics adapted by Wretch 32, Gary Go and Mr Dialysis. The song was released through Island Records on November 13th with all proceeds going to the charity to support some of the most disadvantaged children right here in the UK. http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey
Grammy nominated superstar Drake, whose 2010 debut “Thank Me Later” established the Canadian as one of the breakthrough artists of the year, marks his return with the highly anticipated release on November 14th, of his brand new Young Money/Cash Money album “Take Care”.
The debut album has landed; Rizzle Kicks present ‘Stereo Typical’. It was Popjustice who recently wrote, “Here’s something one doesn’t really think about much, until one day you notice it and you can’t unremember it: popstars do have a habit of making things looks like such hard work. The Thing About Rizzle Kicks is that they make it all look very easy.” ‘STEREO TYPICAL’ Island Records www.youtube.com/user/RizzleKicks / www.rizzlekicks.com Professor Green UK Tour: TOUR DETAILS CLICK HERE
London based singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Tom Vek will released a new single ‘Someone Loves You’ on 14th November. ‘Someone Loves You’ is taken from Vek’s acclaimed second album ‘Leisure Seizure’, the follow up to his hugely influential debut album ‘We Have Sound’ which was released in 2005. The six year hiatus between album release dates saw Vek locating and building the studio set up that would be his ongoing music-making base. It was here that the brilliant ‘Leisure Seizure’ – which features the singles ‘A Chore’ and ‘Aroused’ – was made
“Off The Record” Released by 4th & Broadway/ Island on 6th November 2011
Tinchy Stryder is back with his follow up single to this summer’s top 5 hit with Dappy, ‘Spaceship’.  ‘Off The Record’, produced by Calvin Harris and featuring BURNS, was out 6th November on 4th & Broadway/ Island and is the second cut to be released from Tinchy’s forthcoming album due Spring 2012. Combining Calvin Harris’ anthemic ‘hands in the air’ production with Tinchy’s charismatic lyrical charm ‘Off The Record’ is sure to not only become a common request on dance floors across the country, but also make impressionable dent on the UK charts.
Dreams Don’t Turn To Dust is the second single taken from All Things Bright And Beautiful, the new album from Owl City that takes Adam Young’s prodigious way with classic pop melody, snow-fresh electronica and lyrics overwhelmed by the beauty of nature and the power of dreams… and adds experience, confidence, a hard-won production virtuosity and even bigger, even better tunes. It has a feel that all sophomore albums by male solo artists should probably have… the sound of a boy becoming a man. OWL CITY Dreams Don’t Turn To Dust Released 14th November www.owlcitymusic.co.uk
KELLY ROWLAND…turns up the heat with new single ‘Down For Whatever’ on November 21st If Kelly Rowland’s refreshing addition to The X Factor judging panel this year has taught us anything in recent weeks, it’s that the former Destiny’s Child member is always keen to make the best of any situation – and that’s exactly the message in her steamy new single, ‘Down For Whatever’, released on November 21st through Island Records.

“Out of the Blues”. Popular music through the decades

    From R-Patz & K-Stew to Justin & Selena: Who Loves Whom More in Hollywood’s Hottest Couples?

    HollywoodLife.com looked into Hollywood’s hottest celeb romances — like Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart and Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez — and consulted with a leading expert to determine which person in their relationship is more in love!

    Love is in the air and some of our favorite celebrities have fallen hard under Cupid’s spell. But with all the recent hook-ups, we know most of their lustful romances will sizzle out. So which couples are in it for the long haul — and more importantly, who is more into whom? We’ve analyzed seven of Hollywood’s hottest relationships and consulted with leading body language expert Dr. Lillian Glass to weigh in on who in each couple is more in love!

    Robert Pattinson is more in love Kristen Stewart than she is with him:

    • Dr. Glass: “It’s quite obvious Rob’s heart and feelings are more then Kristen’s, he likes her more for sure, but you can see that Kristen is very interested. These two are almost as close as Prince WIlliam and Kate. They share similar characteristics. But Rob certainly is in it for the long run here.”
    • Rob and Kristen may be America’s favorite vampire lovers, but in real life they are as equally enthralled with each other. Despite their busy schedules, Rob still makes time to take Kristen out on dates to nice restaurants and always protects her from the paps.
    • Rob also has talked openly about how he’s faithful and wants to marry one person and have children with her.
    • The young couple just adopted a dog together and Kristen has committed to spending her whole summer with her hunky boyfriend in Toronto while he shoots his new movie Cosmopolis.

    Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are mutually attracted to each other:

    • Dr. Glass: “Selena Gomez is taken by Justin, and she definitely is the aggressor in some ways. However, sexually you can tell Justin is attracted to her — he loves rubbing her feet and touching her butt.”
    • Justin, 17, and Selena, 18, may be a new and young couple but things between them are getting serious fast! The couple just took a romantic vacation to Maui and now they are visiting her hometown in Texas!
    • Justin is always gushing about how much he likes her and based off recent pictures it seems like the young lovers can’t keep their hands off each other!
    • Both Selena and Justin go to great lengths to keep their significant other protected. In interviews they rarely speak about their relationship and if they say anything about one another, it’s complimentary.

    Kris Humphries is more in love with Kim Kardashian than she is with him:

    • Dr. Glass: “He is focusing so much of his attention towards her — she seems to have her mind on her surroundings and the cameras. He is way into Kim, and he shows it in the way he leans into her and physically wants to be close to her whether its an embrace or hand holding.”
    • Kim, 30, has finally met her prince charming and after only a few months of dating the 26-year-old NBA star, they became so smitten he proposed with a million-ring that would make any girl jealous!
    • Kris is so committed to Kim that he is willing to put up with the media attention and wants to be part of her family. Kim returns the favor by being his biggest fan on and off the basketball court always gushing about how lucky she is to have nabbed him.

    Prince William and Kate Middleton are equally in love with each other:

    • Dr. Glass: “Prince William and Kate Middleton share equal amounts of affection and equal amounts of love. They both share a bond that shows that they love each other. There’s no dominance from one over the other.”
    • Newlyweds William and Kate put on the wedding of the decade when they exchanged vows earlier this month in the Westminster Abbey. Prince William always makes sure Kate has everything she needs, even making sure that their honeymoon suite was stocked with their favorite snack — cream cheese and sprouts.
    • William always surprises Kate in big ways like arriving in a helicopter in her backyard. He also always makes sure that she is protected, for example they tricked the media to keep their honeymoon destination secret.

    Vanessa Hudgens is more in love with Josh Hutcherson than he is with her:

    • Dr. Glass: “Vanessa seems more serious and shows her emotion more then Josh. She is smiling more and showing more emotion around him.”
    • Josh and Vanessa may be a new couple but they are on the road to relationship success because they share mutual interests and love hanging out together. The couple enjoyed some of their favorite bands at the Coachella Music Festival and seemed like every other down-to-earth couple at the concert.
    • Vanessa followed Josh to North Carolina, where he’s shooting The Hunger Games. Plus, she broke up with her boyfriend of five years, Zac Efron, after playing Josh’s love interest in a movie.
    • They keep a healthy privacy about their relationship and they are always going on fun dates, like a night out bowling with their friends or zip-lining in North Carolina.

    Nina Dobrev is more into Ian Somerhalder than he is into her:

    • Dr. Glass: “Nina Dobrev is all over Ian. Ian doesn’t really pay attention to her. Nina is visibly happy with Ian.”
    • Ian and Nina may be keeping their relationship under wraps, but the two just took a vacation together in one of the most romantic cities in the world. The Vampire Diaries couple hit up Paris and even brought their mothers along, which means they are already on “meeting the family” terms.
    • The couple works together so they know how to problem solve and all about each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Even after spending hours together on set they still want to be together when the cameras are off.
    • Nina is younger than Ian and looks up to what he’s accomplished.

    Do you agree with our assessment of each couple’s love? Do you think Rob is more into Kristen or do you disagree? Sound off below!

    Britney Spears Hosts As Ke$ha, Jennifer Lopez, More Bring Wango Tango To L.A.

    Pitbull, Matthew Morrison, Selena Gomez, Far East Movement and others filled the Staples Center on Saturday night.

    Britney Spears hosts KIIS FM’s Wango Tango 2011 on Saturday

    LOS ANGELESBritney Spears makes headlines at concerts, even when she’s not performing. That’s probably why Los Angeles radio station KIIS FM tapped the pop princess to guest-host their annual Wango Tango music festival along with Ryan Seacrest on Saturday night at the Staples Center.

    The bill was a balance of pop and hip-hop, with acts like Ke$ ha, Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull, Ne-Yo, Selena Gomez, “Glee” ‘s Matthew Morrison, Lupe Fiasco, T-Pain, Jason Derülo, Far East Movement, New Boyz, Cobra Starship and newcomer Cody Simpson.

    Check out photos from Wango Tango 2011.

    Backstage, the media room went into a frenzy when Spears arrived in a red, geometric-print dress and a beaming smile. Owning her “femme fatale” moniker, Spears worked the carpet for a few moments while all of the cameras in the room were pointing at her. It was the second red carpet appearance by Brit this week, after her Beverly Hills benefit on Wednesday night for the St. Bernard Project.

    Spears’ Femme Fatale collaborator Ke$ ha, who was returning to the festival for the second time, said that an onstage collab between to the two would have to require one thing.

    “That would have to include me finding her and attacking her,” Ke$ ha told MTV News, with the best intentions. “I’m planning on pouncing her.”

    While that never happened, at least not onstage, Ke$ ha delivered on her promise of a set heavy on her glitter gun. And she assured us she knew the dos and don’ts of handling that kind of firepower.

    “Do not spray yourself in the face with it,” she said. “Do spray everybody else with it. That’s pretty much it.”

    While Joe Jonas wasn’t performing at the show, he took a break from recording his solo debut to catch up with almost everyone backstage.

    “I didn’t see Britney backstage, just said ‘hello’ to a couple of my friends,” Jonas said. “Backstage is always [full of] people, especially having it at the Staples Center this time, I think compared to all the way out in the desert, it changes everything.”

    Also happy to have Wango Tango in Los Angeles were locals Far East Movement.

    “Man, we grew up literally a few blocks away from here, and you can only imagine basketball games being played here,” Kev Nish said. “So to come in here as performers, to be able to do our songs in this arena is a little crazy. We used to pass out CDs a few blocks [away], so we’re very thankful. And the lineup is nuts, so we’re extremely excited to be a part of this lineup.”

    Malaria No More Launches ‘Music To Save Lives’ Campaign

    Malaria No More UK is launching a ‘Music To Save Lives’ awareness campaign

    Malaria No More UK

    Malaria No More UK is launching a ‘Music To Save Lives’ awareness campaign produced by leading entertainment network MTV UK & Ireland (MTV UK) in the run up to World Malaria Day on 25th April 2011.

    Malaria kills 781,000 people every year with over 90% of all deaths in Africa, yet is it is a preventable and treatable disease. Malaria No More UK finds innovative ways to tell the malaria story, most recently with the award winning Hunting Moon vampire campaign and now using the power of music and the UK’s summer festival culture.

    Music To Save Lives will launch on 11th April with a music festival campaign made up of a 45 second advert, created by MTV UK. The ad features festival frolics and some nets with a difference. It also equates the number of lives lost annually to malaria with number of people who attend the UK’s 12 largest festivals. This powerful creative reflects the magnitude of the problem of malaria and offers one of the solutions: mosquito nets. The ad has a backing soundtrack from band Golden Grrrls. It will run throughout the summer on multiple platforms including in promotional airtime across MTV UK.

    MTV Host Alice Levine, is backing the campaign and says:

    “I love the concept of using music to save lives. It’s a powerful and personal way to get festival lovers on board with a hugely important cause”.

    Arabella Gilchrist, Director of Communications at Malaria No More UK said:

    “Music and festivals provide an emotive, relevant way of catching people’s attention. I hope this campaign will encourage people to find out more about our historic opportunity to end deaths from malaria and get involved. Huge thanks to Promax UK, MTV UK and Vestergaard Frandsen for backing this campaign.”
