While 'Atom' currently tops list, Porter Robinson and Martin Solveig weigh in on Bingo Players' 'awesome' 'Rattle.'
By Akshay Bhansali 
Photo: Opium Group After a weekend showdown that saw Knife Party fans edging "Internet Friends" just past initial leaders Nari & Milani, "Atom" fans have reclaimed the lead again in the Miami Music Week Track of the Week competition. Steve Angello must certainly be proud: Not only is a song from his Size Records label, slated for release later this week, in the lead, but Swedish House Mafia's "Greyhound" currently has just under 15 percent of your votes and is holding firm at #3. Of course, the most popular song to come out of Miami is the topic of much discussion, for fans and artists alike, and MTV News was lucky enough to bump into a couple of your favorite EDM stars to have them weigh in. " 'Rattle,' by Bingo Players, everyone is playing it," Porter Robinson told MTV News before we returned to New York. "I'm playing it as well. And this is by no means a criticism. These songs are getting played out so frequently because they have merit and because they are awesome." "I heard the Bingo Players track 'Rattle' a lot!" Martin Solveig revealed to MTV News recently. "And it's just an instrumental so it's interesting, and it's coming from artists that don't have the exposure of the Swedes or David [Guetta]." Well, these two clearly have their favorite picked, but you the fans have until Thursday at midnight to cast your final vote for who wins Miami Music Week Track of the Week!

Maroon Five singer Adam Levine and Russian model Anne Vyalitsyna have split up. The couple dated for two years and have now decided to call it quits with âlove and respectâ for one another. The thirty-three year old ‘The Voice’ coach and Vyalitsyna have been dating since meeting back in 2010. Although they initially disliked one another after being introduced in Las Vegas at a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue release party shortly thereafter they fell in love. âHe thought I was a stuck up b*tch and I kind of thought he was a d**che bag musician,â Anne shared when talking about her and Levine’s first meeting. Some suspected the couple was headed for trouble when news outlets reported a huge fight between Levine and Anne Vyalitsyna earlier this year. By February Levine had shared that he was determined to work through the hard times with his girlfriend. âThis is the most functional relationship Iv ever been in. I [...] Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RightCelebrity/~3/BntaqeDF1dc/ Blu Cantrell Bonnie Jill Laflin Bridget Moynahan Britney Spears Brittany Daniel  The big TV feature in Vanity Fair's May 2012 issue just hit the net. And one YBF chick (you know there's only 1 if one at all) made the big spread. "Scandal" actress Kerry Washington. Pics inside... 
Kerry Washington is lounging it up alongside actresses Emily Vancamp ("Revenge"), Kat Dennings ("2 Broke Girls"), Emily Rossum ("Shameless") and plenty more of the leading ladies of TV. While "Modern Family" star Sophia Vegara nabbed the cover amongst "The Good Wife" leading lady Julianna Margulies, "Homeland" star Claire Danes & "Downtown Abbey" star Michelle Dockery:  Kerry recently chatted with BET about her upcoming role for the series written by the mega-talented Shonda Rhimes (who already has "Grey's Anatomy" & "Private Practice" under her belt). And by the way, Kerry's hardcore Ms. Fix It role as the crisis management expert (fixing Presidential political & sex scandals and more) is based on a real-life black female crisis manager named Judy Smith. Kerry revealed, “Judy Smith never had a complicated relationship with the President of the United States, but I’m lucky that Judy is a producer on the show because she’s very hands-on and around a lot, and I worked with her on the character.”
“Shonda writes real people, people who are three-dimensional, fully realized human beings, and that is a joy for any actor, because so often we are having to create the threeâdimensionality of a character and when it’s given to you, it's such a treat. I really love playing a complicated woman. But I am always looking for the good in the character.” And about being the star of the show: “This is very much an ensemble too, but I feel like it’s my first time at the rodeo, and everything’s really new and different and exciting and I like that too as an actor to be in a new situation. I feel like every day I come to work on this show is like a master class. Our biggest hope and dream for the show is that people will have as much fun watching it as we're having making it because it's the dream job.” Columbus Short also stars in the series which kicks off this Thursday (April 5) on ABC at 10p ET.

Danneel Harris Deanna Russo Denise Richards Desiree Dymond Diane Kruger 'I've listened to their music since I was a child,' says the R&B diva, who recorded 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Whole Lotta Love.'
By James Montgomery, with reporting by Larry Carroll <P>You wouldn't peg Mary J Blige as the black-light-and-tapestry sort, but, as has become readily apparent in recent weeks, she absolutely loves Led Zeppelin. </P><P> </P><P>In early February, reports began circulating that <a href="/news/articles/1631297/mary-j-blige-records-led-zeppelins-stairway-to-heaven.jhtml">Blige had re-recorded Zeppelin's classic "Stairway to Heaven,"</a> working with Travis Barker, "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson and guitarist Steve Vai on the track, which is slated to appear on the international reissue of her <i>Stronger With Each Tear</i> album, due Monday. </P><P> </P><P></p><div style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float:left;"><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:491065" width="256" height="223" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashVars="configParams=instance%3Dnews%26vid%3D491065" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></div><p> </P><P> </P><P>But after she had recorded "Stairway," Blige continued to get the Led out, covering <i>another</i> Zeppelin classic — the thunderous "Whole Lotta Love" — for the album too. And when MTV News caught up with her on the <i>Essence</i> Black Women in Hollywood red carpet, she told us all about channeling her inner Robert Plant for the tracks, a process that came much easier than you'd probably imagine. </P><P> </P><P>"I did Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Whole Lotta Love' — it's crazy," she said. "I am a Led Zeppelin fan. I'm not going to say I've been to their concerts, but I've listened to their music since I was a child, and it's always moved me, especially 'Stairway to Heaven,' and 'Whole Lotta Love' is just fun." </P><P> </P><P>Blige also said she recorded another new song — a "club record" called "I Can't Wait" — for the re-release. And while it's only slated to hit shelves outside the U.S., she hopes her fans will get a chance to hear all the new songs pretty soon. </P><P> </P><P>"I want y'all to hear it," she laughed.</p> Related Artists Source:

Cindy Crawford Cindy Taylor Cinthia Moura Claudette Ortiz Coco Lee Hollywood divorces can be so messy, but it looks like the split between Russell Brand and Katy Perryy is shaping up to be quite amicable. According to a report, the âForgetting Sarah Marshallâ stud has surrendered his ownership of their $6.5 million Hollywood Hills mansion to his âHot N Coldâ ex-wife. The house, purchased back in June of 2011, boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and a plethora of luxurious amenities. With the absence of a prenuptial agreement, Brand would have been entitled to $20 million, which is half of what Katy banked during their marriage. However, Russell has denied heâll take the cash, and instead they "have entered into a comprehensive written settlement of all issues, including, without limitation, with respect to the property to be confirmed or assigned to each party."

By Jocelyn Vena <P>In 2002, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/timberlake_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Timberlake</a> blew everyone's minds when he dropped <i>Justified</i>, his star-making solo album. It propelled him from tween-dream poster boy to legitimate pop star. </P><P> </P><P>Exactly 10 years later, there's another young singer who is looking to make the same leap. When <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> dropped <a href="/news/articles/1681772/justin-bieber-boyfriend-mike-posner.jhtml">"Boyfriend"</a> earlier this week, he laid down the gauntlet and declared his pop-star manhood. </P><P> </P><P><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:753202/cp~vid%3D753202%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A753202" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed> </P><P> </P><P>His transition is one that Timberlake faced a decade ago as he looked to carve a new path for himself in a post-'NSYNC world. With grinding, ear-busting production from <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/neptunes_2_/artist.jhtml">the Neptunes</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/timbaland/artist.jhtml">Timbaland</a>, the onetime boy-bander created an album that sounded unlike anything his fans had heard before. Sure, he had teased it on 'NSYNC's last album, <i>Celebrity</i>, but this album was different — it was all Timberlake. It was sexy and definitely much edgier lyrically, with him singing about girls and sex in a more-mature way. </P><P> </P><P>At the time, he faced the incredibly difficult pop conundrum of having to grow up right before an audience. That's the challenge Bieber now faces. At 18, he can't stray too far from his <i>My World</i> days, but in order to grow as an artist and a person, he also can't make "Baby" over and over again. </P><P> </P><P>And, honestly, who would want him to? Edgy and sexy feel like the innate next step for the teen star, with Usher as his mentor — a dude who made a name for himself singing songs about the things he does in the bedroom and flaunting his abs all over town. Although, it's interesting to note that Bieber chose to follow in Timberlake's footsteps. A little history lesson: Timberlake once was in a bidding war to sign Bieber on as his protégé. Usher won, and the rest is history. </P><P> </P><P>"Boyfriend," Bieber's lead single off his <a href="/news/articles/1681863/justin-bieber-believe-album.jhtml"><i>Believe</i></a> album, set for release later this year, is straight from the Timberlake blueprint. With production from Mike Posner and Mason Levy, the song is the perfect blend of hip-hop, vintage Michael Jackson-flavored R&B and pop. It's not a far cry from JT's "Like I Love You" thematically: A young man meets a young woman and uses a song, full of bleeps and beats, to declare all the reasons they should be together. Consider all the young women across the world sold on every one of his swag-heavy arguments. </P><P> </P><P>It's easy to harp on Bieber for playing it very close to the Timberlake playbook. But, why shouldn't he? Timberlake seems more focused on movies than music; Bieber's filling the blue-eyed soul void left by Timberlake's absence on the charts. And with A-list assistance from Timbaland (yes, Timberlake's producer), Diplo and will.i.am, <i>Believe</i> just might make us all believe in the power of Bieber. </P><P> </P><P>With the single poised for a <a href="/news/articles/1681935/justin-bieber-boyfriend-believe-release.jhtml">huge debut</a> and radio embracing the teen in a bigger way than ever before, now might be the perfect time for Bieber to become everyone's musical boyfriend. So, grab your fondue pot, get your swaggie on, and blast the track. You know you want to.</p> Related Artists Source:

Diane Kruger Dido Diora Baird Dita Von Teese Dominique Swain 'It's perfect for this private couple,' one celebrity expert tells MTV News of B's low-key NYC outing.
By Jocelyn Vena <P>It was only a month ago that fans were wondering when the first images of new mom <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/knowles_beyonce/artist.jhtml">Beyoncé</a> might hit the Net. On Monday night, those questions were answered. Just four weeks after giving birth to daughter <a href="/news/articles/1677033/blue-ivy-beyonce-jay-z-leaves-hospital.jhtml">Blue Ivy</a>, B was back on the scene to celebrate hubby <a href="/news/articles/1678669/jay-z-carnegie-hall.jhtml">Jay-Z's first show at Carnegie Hall</a>. </P><P> </P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Jay-Z Brings The House Down At Carnegie Hall" id="vid:731725" width="240" height="211"></div><p> </P><P> </P><P>Wearing a form-fitting red dress, she hit up a post-show party held at Jay's 40/40 Club in New York City. And while <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/02/07/beyonce-carnegie-hall-jay-z-show">Beyoncé could have premiered</a> her <a href="/news/articles/1678670/beyonce-post-baby-appearance-jay-z.jhtml">post-baby body</a> on a splashy red carpet, celebrity experts note that the more understated move is very B. </P><P> </P><P>"It's perfect for this private couple. She didn't make a big deal walking a red carpet at an award show or posing on the cover of a magazine," Huffington Post celebrity columnist Rob Shuter told MTV News on Tuesday (February 7). "Beyoncé made it as low-key an event as possible and at the same time plugged her husband's club." </P><P> </P><P><b><a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/02/08/beyonce-photos-carnegie-hall-night-two/">Check out more photos from B's night out!</a></b> </P><P> </P><P>For the appearance, Beyoncé was decked out in a fiery-red Temperley London dress, Christian Louboutin heels and an Alexander McQueen clutch. While that may sound very glam, another expert was surprised by just how modest the look actually was. </P><P> </P><P>"Beyoncé looks amazing in her first post-baby appearance. Even thought it made sense for her to make her debut last night to show her support for her husband and the charity his concert benefited, her outfit was fairly simple," celebrity editor <a href="http://gossipdavid.com" target="_blank">David Caplan</a> said. </P><P> </P><P>"I expected her to make her post-baby debut at a really glitzy event or awards show, like maybe the <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/grammys">Grammys</a>, in a gorgeous gown and really steal the show. But clearly she wanted to be seen, since she even posted photos of herself right away on her website, which stars don't typically do — they'll just let the media pick up and run the photos." </P><P> </P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Celebrity Expert Believes Beyonce And Jay-Z Will Reveal Baby Photos Of Blue Ivy" id="vid:724228.id:1676907" width="240" height="211"></div><p> </P><P> </P><P>So, will B and Jay play it just as cool when it comes to releasing the first shot of their newborn? "It will be a [paparazzi] shot taken on the beach or when the couple is on vacation," Shuter predicted. "They won't reveal the baby to get a [magazine] cover like Bethenny [Frankel] or those other reality stars." </P><P> </P><P>Caplan also proposed that a baby photo will probably leak. "As for when will we see baby Blue, I wouldn't be surprised if some sort of grainy-looking paparazzi photo emerges," he said. "Those photographers are very crafty, even if Beyoncé and Jay-Z think they're doing all they can to keep Blue away from photographers. But ultimately, I think you can expect to see her baby photos in a magazine pictorial, and that will be Blue's introduction to the world. That's the real reveal people want to see." </P><P> </P><P><i>Are you looking forward to the first photos of Blue Ivy?

Georgianna Robertson Georgina Grenville Gina Carano Gina Gershon Gina Philips I'm here! I'm here! And I saw my first gang-banger get arrested yesterday so I feel like a total Angeleno. 
I'm getting ready to go to the gym (again, like a total Angeleno!) so I will update later about my run-ins with Alexander Skarsgard, Pauly Shore, and Jeremy or Jason London (I'm not sure which one it was and seeing if I could force him to do drugs to find out seemed unfair. Besides, as it turned out, he was telling the truth?) Anyhoo, I've got a lot to tell you about gardening! (Did you know if you get dirt wet it turns into mud? Yuck.) And bumpers! (They don't bump off anything... they go, "Scraaaaaaaatch!") And there's probably more but, again, I have to go because I have to get to the gym!
