Usher Gets Sick, Walks Offstage Mid-Show In Berlin

Singer cancels kick off date of European leg of his OMG Tour due to illness.

Usher was forced to delay the kick off of his European OMG Tour on Wednesday night in Berlin because of illness. In a statement released to fans, the singer apologized for the last-minute scratch, saying he felt he was suffering from a "sinus complication." Although the gig was rescheduled for Thursday night at the O2 World arena in Berlin, his German fans apparently weren't appeased by his effort.

"I am truly sorry to all my fans in Berlin who were inconvenienced by tonight's postponement of the show," the singer said in a statement about Wednesday's aborted concert. "I was ill and felt that I would not have been able to give them the show that they properly deserve. ... I am looking forward to performing tomorrow and giving Berliners a great show."

According to the statement, the singer received treatment from doctors for a sinus issue that affected his balance, but a visibly still-ailing Usher was unable to finish the Thursday make-up show, reportedly abandoning the stage after just five songs.

On Friday (January 14), a follow-up statement from his spokesperson confirmed that he was too ill to play Thursday night's Berlin date and has been forced to reschedule the next three dates on the tour as well. The Rotterdam show originally scheduled for this week has been moved to March 1 and a show in Antwerp, also slated for this week, has been bumped to March 7.

The statement also updated the singer's condition: "Usher is suffering from upper respiratory illness, which is currently preventing him from performing a proper show. After consultation with doctors, he has been advised to reschedule the upcoming dates in order to get the rest he needs to ensure a complete recovery."

Footage posted on YouTube that was purportedly taken at the make-up performance in Berlin shows Usher standing silently at the microphone seemingly unable to sing, with fans booing him at first and then chanting, "Usher, Usher," as he approaches the microphone and apologizes to them for his struggles. "I appreciate your support," he told the fans wearily.

"I have been very excited about my European Tour and I deeply regret having to reschedule the shows," the singer said in the new statement. "I am truly sorry for any inconvenience I have caused my fans. My fans are the best in the world and I am looking forward to getting better so that I can give them the show they deserve."

Usher wrapped up the North American leg of his tour in December and his overseas dates are slated to last through the spring.

Epic! Lady GaGa To Take Away Rihanna's Crown For Number One Single

Nothing can stop Queen GaGa!
Her song Judas, which was leaked on Friday, could very possibly debut at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart next week.
This would move Rihanna's 10th No. 1 hit, S&M, from the top spot, which had a recent bump due to her recently-released remix of the song, featuring Britney Spears.

Courteney Cox: David Arquette Hit on Me at Disney World

Courteney Cox: David Arquette Hit on Me at Disney World

Not every celebrity breakup is fraught with tension and bad press. Courteney Cox and David Arquette, who split up last October, have reunited for numerous family outings since, and have been making the press rounds together to promote their new film Scream 4, which opens April 15.

Both have been generous in their comments to the press about one another, and they looked like a happy family on a recent trip to Disney World with their 6-year-old daughter Coco. As Cox, 46, told David Letterman on CBS' The Late Show Wednesday night, things are going so well that Arquette, 39, even tried to put the moves on her during their Disney escape (see, it really is a magical place!). "He did try to hit on me, yeah. He hit pretty hard," Cox joked. "And I said, 'You know, you don't have the Fast Pass right now. Not to that ride!'"

At the Scream 4 premiere in New York, Arquette -- who is now 100 days sober -- told People: "We're really supportive and loving and kind to each other, so that's really what's important." The couple have been together for 11 years, and Arquette insists that working together on Scream 4 was a blast for both of them. "I loved acting opposite Courteney," he said. "We don't have that opportunity a lot, and it's a different way of working together. We have so much fun."

For those pulling for a Cox-Arquette reconciliation, there's still hope -- but the verdict might be out for a while. As Cox told Letterman: "I don't know what's going to happen. I really don't. I'm sure this decision needs to be made at some point, but we're getting along so well that I hate to rock the boat. I really do."

Getting frisky at Disney World may be a step in the right direction towards a happy ending, but Cox also joked about Arquette moving on to find "somebody named Tiffany or Britney," and expressed to Arquette a worry that these girls would not organize his drawers properly. The couple seems to be enjoying one another tremendously at the moment, so that's a start. Who says life doesn't offer second chances?

Dancing With the Stars Results: Elimination #3 is ...


Another week of drama on Dancing With the Stars came to an end last night.

From Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Kirstie Alley's latest snafu to a number of suspect performances, there were several couples sweating it out.

Did Kendra Wilkinson rally enough votes to sneak by after tanking so hard? Or would Sugar Ray Leonard pay the price and be sent home instead?

One of these three pairs is gone:

DWTS Chopping Block!

Follow the jump to see who stayed and who's history ...

Sugar Ray Leonard was eliminated on the results show.

"That's life and I fought a good fight," said Leonard. "I will cherish this moment. Good friends, good show. I love the spirit. I love the people on this show."

He had the second lowest score after Kendra Monday.

The former boxing champion's pro partner Anna Trebunskaya added: "We had so much fun. It's just amazing that a boxer became a ballet dancer!"

Sugar Ray and Anna

Christina Aguilera and Max: Walt Disney Duo

Spending an enjoyable day alongside her little one, Christina Aguilera and son Max Bratman visited the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, FL on Monday (April 11).

The "Burlesque" beauty and her growing tot were all smiles as they strolled the grounds before posing for a keepsake photo at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park.

The Disney adventure comes as Miss Aguilera will debut as one of four musical coaches on the new NBC vocal competition series "The Voice."

Kicking off April 26th, Christina recently told of her place with fellow vocal coaches, "Well, I'm the mama bear trying to reign in my rowdy boys here. It's literally me and the boys. I can't even believe I'm witness to some of the conversations that happen ... They're just like three brothers."

"I have to do some wrist slaps every once in a while. Get them in line," she added.

Lady Gaga's 'Judas' Video Is 'Groundbreaking,' Laurieann Gibson Says

'It's a phenomenal video: really powerful, really impactful,' creative director tells MTV News.

Lady Gaga is ready to tell her version of the Bible in her "Judas" video, which recently wrapped production in L.A. MTV News caught up with the video's co-director and Gaga's creative director, Laurieann Gibson, to talk about the clip as well as her new E! show "The Dance Scene," debuting Sunday.

"I will tell you now, first off, I'm Christian, and my career is evidence of God in my life, and I think that most people are already thinking that Gaga and the blasphemy and they're premeditating the approach and I think they'll be very shocked to find out how huge and really groundbreaking the message is and how freeing the message is for all the right reasons," she said. "And it's really going to shock the world."

The cast includes some big-name cameos as well, including Norman Reedus as Judas. "He was so prolific," she declared of his performance, adding that the video is "badass" and that Gaga will play Mary Magdalene.

The two ladies took it upon themselves to make sure the video's direction was perfect — so they just decided to direct it themselves. "There was elements of 'Born This Way' during our collaboration [with director Nick Knight] and, as much as I loved it, there were moments where, for me, it didn't really evolve as I had inspired of the actual creative, which was still fine.

"But when we got to 'Judas,' it was very clear to me and the inspiration was very clear to her. We approached a director, but then the dates actually got messed up and it was conflicted and her manager and her looked at me [and asked me to direct it with her]."

Gibson said she took a moment before agreeing, as she had just wrapped up work on Lady Gaga's Monster Ball HBO special, premiering in May, but she "couldn't resist. It's a phenomenal video: really powerful, really impactful. She's such a strong, committed artist. Her loyalty to me is something I will be forever grateful for. We're spiritually connected. We need each other ... and 'Judas' is ultimately a representation of our true bond."

Janet Jackson Thrills Fans With Greatest Hits, Michael Tribute At Radio City

Singer covered songs ranging from classic 'Pleasure Principle' to 2008's 'Feedback' at New York show.

NEW YORK — Often imitated, never duplicated, Janet Jackson's outbursts of meticulous choreography, sassy exclamations and smoldering gazes into the audience kept them on their feet for the entire two-hour set of her greatest hits at Radio City Music Hall. Monday night marked the last of three sold-out shows at the historic venue on her monumental Number Ones: Up Close and Personal Tour.

Up-and-coming boy band Mindless Behavior opened the show with songs including "#1 Girl," "Future" and their debut single, "My Girl." With their Usher-esque dance moves and shouts like "Where the ladies at?" the boys brought the tween girls out of hiding, judging by the shrill screams escaping various corner of the music hall.

At 9:00 sharp, the lights went down and Janet's fans were on the edge of their seats, watching music videos for "The Best Things in Life Are Free" and "Rhythm Nation" projected on big screens across the venue. A small shadow drifted toward center stage, and when the colorful lights came up, Jackson, wrapped in a shoulder-padded catsuit, complete with slick short hair, blasted into "The Pleasure Principle," dancing as hard and intensely choreographed as she did when the song first came out in the 1980s.

With barely a spare second between songs, Janet dazzled her way through her biggest hits, including "Miss You Much," "All for You" and "Nasty," and more recent hits like 2008's "Feedback."

Videos displayed during Jackson's costume changes included vintage clips from "Diff'rent Strokes," a funny scene from "Poetic Justice" where Jackson slyly rejects the advances of Tupac Shakur's character, and a rather heavy scene, as Jackson's character in "Why Did I Get Married" destroys her husband's house with a golf club, screaming hysterically.

Considering the tough couple of years the Jackson family has faced, the dark moments in the video seemed fitting, and everyone was beside themselves with bittersweet joy when Michael Jackson's face popped up on the big screen and she performed their hit single "Scream."

Janet emerged for her encore in a tight white one-piece disco suit, and performed "Diamonds," "Make Me" and "Together Again," which appeared to be the biggest hit of the evening. As Jackson graciously bowed out, her straight face transitioned into a smirk, suggesting that despite the hard times she has experienced recently, we can expect to see this singing and dancing pop legend shine far into the future.

"Its amazing!" Janet fan Elena Mercantini gleamed afterward. "It's like she's still 20 years old!"

"She's hot, she's amazing and she's still got it after all these years" added Alison Klinger of Long Island. "Best concert I've ever been to!"

Thor Gets Tased In Exclusive New Clip

Natalie Portman encounters Chris Hemsworth for the first time in this sneak peek.

Attention "Thor" fans! By the good graces of otherworldly Asgard, Paramount Pictures has gifted MTV News with an exclusive new clip from the upcoming and highly anticipated "Thor."

For those who've been watching and re-watching the trailers, the featured scene will be slightly familiar. The clip opens with Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), Professor Andrews (Stellan Skarsgård) and Darcy (Kat Dennings) rushing to the aid of recently banished/crash-landed Thor (Chris Hemsworth).

"Get the first aid kit!" Foster yells, as she runs to the side of the fallen God of Thunder. "Do me a favor, and don't be dead," she says to him.

"Whoa, does he need CPR?" Darcy asks after seeing Thor's chiseled face. "Because I totally know CPR."

"Where did he come from?" Foster wonders aloud. Thor then grunts as he stands up too quickly, still shaken from his fall. He starts to call out for his lost weapon: "Hammer? Hammer?"

"Yeah, we can tell you're hammered," Darcy quips while watching him stumble around the clearing. "It's pretty obvious."

"Oh my God! Eric, look at this!" Foster exclaims suddenly, pointing to the unique, circular pattern formed in the dirt surrounding the area where they found Thor. "We have to move quickly before this all changes."

"Jane, we have to take him to the hospital," Andrews says, while Thor calls out to his father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins), in the background.

"He's fine, look at him," Foster says to Andrews, still crouching at the ground, trying to examine the pattern in the soil.

After receiving no response from his father, Thor starts to get more lucid, haughtily demanding answers about where he is: "What realm is this?" he demands.

"New Mexico," Darcy answers, her flashlight and taser gun pointed right at him.

"You dare threaten me?" Thor warns. "With so puny an..."

Darcy then shoots a taser into him, making him fall back to the ground, much to the astonishment and disbelief of Foster and Andrews.

"What?" Darcy asks innocently, as if her use of the taser was perfectly logical. "He was freaking me out!"

What do you think of the new clip? Let us know in the comments!
