James Cameron Settles The Score On 'Titanic' Casting Rumors
Rumors have been circulating that Matthew McConaughey and Gwyneth Paltrow had been offered the roles of Jack and Rose.

The success of "Titanic" is undeniable. With a worldwide gross of $1.8 billion, the film is the second highest grossing movie in box office history — just behind director James Cameron's other massive project, "Avatar." The historical film was nominated for fourteen Academy Awards and won eleven, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Original Song.
It also launched the careers of two of Hollywood's most well-known actors, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
The 3-D re-release (which raked in an additional $17.3 million during its debut last weekend) brought rumors to the surface that other popular actors had turned down the role.
When MTV News' Josh Horowitz sat down with Cameron, Horowitz asked about the rumored "Titanic" casting circulating the Internet. Supposedly, Matthew McConaughey was in talks for Jack Dawson and Gwyneth Paltrow for Rose DeWitt Bukater. "I will neither confirm nor deny," Cameron said. "I just don't think that's cool to talk about actors that either chose not to do it, or were unavailable, or stupidly decided that there wasn't enough meat on the bone of the character, or whatever it was."
We bet those actors came calling back begging for another chance. "They should," the award-winning director said. "They should've come whimpering back afterwards and said, 'I will never second guess you again as long as I live.' But it's too late. You got one chance, that's it. And you might want to think about this next time when you get called." And even though the role of Rose follows Winslet everywhere, there's no doubt it was the experience of a lifetime. She recently told us that she's glad the film can reach a whole new audience, including her children who will see it for the first time.
But apparently, some audiences didn't know the movie is based on a true story. After seeing the film in 3-D, people have taken to Twitter to admit they didn't realize the tragic incident actually occurred. "That's shocking to me," Cameron commented on the news, "that somebody could actually tweet — because it requires some neuromotor capability — and not know that Titanic was a real event, but apparently there are [those] people."
"It's a sad comment on our society. However, it does put the onus on us to get the history right. Because it might be the only record a thousand years from now," the director laughed, "the one disc might be the only record."

Should Taylor Swift And One Direction's Harry Styles Date?
Fans had very strong reactions when MTV News reported about the rumored couple.
By Katie Byrne

Are Taylor Swift and One Direction's Harry Styles a couple? They're not talking — but you certainly are.
On Wednesday, we posted some compelling evidence that Swift and Styles might be linked up (Exhibit A: This video, in which 1D rib their bandmate about Taylor during an MTV News interview), and fans certainly had their opinions on the potential pair.
Many readers chalked it up to one more dude caught in the Taylor Swift rumor mill. "I think it's time to stop the Taylor Swift likes whoever nonsense," BrianC6234 wrote in the MTV News comments section. "First of all, why does it matter? But even if you care, these rumors have all been false. Isn't she dating that guy from 'Les Miserables'? I mean Zac Efron. Wait, no, it's Tim Tebow. Get the point?"
"These rumors have always been wrong," WeeRu chimed in. "Chord Overstreet, that guy from Parachute, Zac Efron and now Harry Styles? I don't think so."
RachV2389 added: "Guy after guy. Well ... she hasn't had a song about a British boy yet!"
A lot of Taylor fans out there are hopeless romantics, just like their idol, and have their fingers crossed that the One Direction heartthrob is "The One" for Swift. "Harry is a good guy," xLara_Stylesx wrote. "If you watch all his videos you will see that he has a good personality. And Taylor deserves a boyfriend like him (:"
"I love them both," mrs.worldwide said. "It would be nice if they were together." (BTW, should we get started on the joint nickname? We're thinking Haylor or Swiftles.)
But it wasn't all roses and sunshine: Some short-and-not-so-sweet reactions to the news included "SWEET BABY JESUS NO" and "no, please no!"
"Heeeck no," Stephanie Lynn Roberts posted on MTV News' Facebook page. "Harry has class. TSwift would just break up with him to get a new hit song."
Some fans pointed out the age difference between the 18-year-old boy bander and 22-year-old country superstar. "Come on, Taylor, the kid is only 18," Ariela M. Garcia wrote, which prompted Facebook user Holly McQuithey to point out Styles' 32-year-old ex. "Harry dated Caroline Flack. There is no age limit for that boy. Let him be happy."
But one reader, MinkenGjerald, really made us laugh with their reason the couple will never work: "Well... no.. Harry is a sex bomb and Taylor is so innocent."

Britney Spears Would Be 'Great Fit' For 'X Factor,' Marcus Canty Says
'She would give me that pop I need,' last season's fourth-place finisher tells MTV News of rumored addition to judges' table.
By Christina Garibaldi
<P>During his final appearance on <a href="/news/articles/1676110/x-factor-marcus-canty.jhtml">"The X Factor," Marcus Canty</a> promised his fans it was "not over" for him yet, and he was right. The fourth-place finisher, who wowed viewers with his energetic stage presence and smooth R&B style, recently signed to Epic Records and has released his debut single, "Won't Make a Fool Out of You." </P><P> </P><P>Yet at one time it seemed like we might never have heard his music at all. Before "X Factor" Canty tried but failed to get through the audition rounds for <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/topic/american_idol/">"American Idol."</a> </P><P> </P><P>"I tried 'American Idol.' I got in front of the judges, I sang my little heart out, but I guess I didn't make it," Canty revealed to MTV News. "I guess they didn't want me." </P><P> </P><P><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:754173/cp~vid%3D754173%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A754173" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed> </P><P> </P><P>"Idol" may not have wanted Canty, but "The X Factor" did. With help from his mother, Canty reluctantly decided to step in front of the judges, hoping to get his chance to go to Hollywood. </P><P> </P><P>"The funny thing is that I didn't want to do 'X Factor' at first. I was just like, 'Man, I'm gonna do it myself,' then I look on the bill and I see L.A. Reid, and I'm like, 'Wait a minute, that's L.A. Reid!' " Canty said. "For so long I've been trying to get music to him. When it came that time, my mom was like, 'Look, you should just try it." </P><P> </P><P>With Reid as his mentor, Canty battled his way to a fourth-place finish with some show-stopping performances that gained him comparisons to Al Green and Bobby Brown. </P><P> </P><P>Canty also developed relationships with the other judges on the show, including former mentors <a href="/news/articles/1678191/paula-abdul-exits-x-factor.jhtml">Paula Abdul</a> and <a href="/news/articles/1678186/nicole-scherzinger-steve-jones-leaving-x-factor.jhtml">Nicole Scherzinger</a>. </P><P> </P><P>"I actually was kind of surprised," Canty said of the departures of Abdul and Scherzinger. "I thought it was a lot of drama on the show with Paula and Nicole, but they were so nice." </P><P> </P><P>Canty was no stranger to drama himself. The R&B crooner found himself in the bottom two during several episodes, most notably edging out <a href="/news/articles/1680940/rachel-crow-simon-cowell.jhtml">Rachel Crow</a> in an emotional and <a href="/news/articles/1675936/x-factor-rachel-crow-elimination-reaction.jhtml">controversial finish</a>. </P><P> </P><P>"I feel like Paula was honest. I feel like Nicole was honest — even in certain situations on the show that they got into, with me and Rachel and at one point, me and Drew," Canty said. "If I was in that situation I probably wouldn't know what to do." </P><P> </P><P>With Scherzinger and Abdul out of the judges' seats, rumors have been swirling that pop star <a href="/news/articles/1680782/britney-spears-x-factor-judge-offer.jhtml">Britney Spears may fill</a> one of the vacant spots. </P><P> </P><P>"Oh wow, I haven't heard that one. Britney Spears, wow. That should be interesting," Canty said in response to the news. "Britney Spears can be my mentor because, first of all, I was the entertainer. I know she would give me that pop I need. That's definitely a great fit."</p>

Lady Gaga Collaborator Jonas Akerlund Expects 'Great' Things From Her
'She can probably do anything she wants,' 'Paparazzi' and 'Telephone' director tells us at SXSW.
By Kara Warner
<P>After the mostly positive reviews of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/lady_gaga/artist.jhtml">Lady Gaga</a>'s first music-video directorial effort on <a href="/news/articles/1675270/lady-gaga-marry-the-night-music-video.jhtml">"Marry the Night"</a>. It's fair to assume that we fans can expect more Gaga-directed clips in the near future. </P><P> </P><P>When MTV News caught up with her "Paparazzi" and "Telephone" <a href="/news/articles/1633818/the-man-behind-lady-gagas-telephone-video-jonas-akerlund.jhtml">director Jonas Åkerlund</a> recently during his SXSW appearance for his new ensemble dark comedy "Small Apartments," we asked him for his thoughts on Gaga's future as a director, should she choose to direct all of her videos from here on out. </P><P> </P><P><center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:748102/cp~id%3D1680857%26vid%3D748102%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A748102" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></center> </P><P> </P><P>"She can probably do anything she wants," he said. "So that's probably going to be great." </P><P> </P><P>And would Åkerlund make himself available for advice, should Gaga ever be in need of it? </P><P> </P><P>"Of course. I would never turn her down," he said, at which point his "Apartments" star and funnyman Matt Lucas ("Bridesmaids") asked a question of his own. </P><P> </P><P>"Is her real name Lady Gaga?" </P><P> </P><P>"Yes," Åkerlund answered with a smile. </P><P> </P><P>"Wow," Lucas responded with astonishment. "There's a fact for you MTV fans." </P><P> </P><P>Although Åkerlund didn't mention any more work with Gaga at this time, the busy director is still fully in the mix of the world of music videos. </P><P> </P><P>"I may do a couple music videos and I've done quite a few since 'Small Apartments,' actually. The last one I did was a Duran Duran video, but there's a few coming up too." </P><P> </P><P>"Are you going to do the Osmonds video?" Lucas asked cheekily. "That's what they're asking." </P><P> </P><P>"Maybe," Åkerlund responded, playing along with Lucas' joke. "I'm hoping to." </P><P> </P><P>For her part, Gaga has said that she's always been heavily involved in the creative processes behind all her work, including the direction of her music videos. </P><P> </P><P>"I know it's my directorial debut, but I've really created everything I've ever done in my career," she said. "I really didn't do anything differently on this video that I didn't do on the 'Telephone' video or the 'Paparazzi' video or the 'Bad Romance' video. I hope my fans will take from this the progression that you have to trust yourself to make mistakes."</p>

Rihanna Goes ALL BLACK For "Battleship" Sydney Premiere
Rihanna is living it up in Syndey, Australia with her Battleship movie co-stars. Check out the red-lipped pop star's all black Stella McCartney look for her premiere at Luna Park inside...
(Oh, and she also expresses her love for internet porn...)
Rihanna hit last night's red carpet in a Stella McCartney Autumn 2012 Black Stretch Cady All in One jumper. And paired it with black sandals with her new black hair pulled into a bun with a long bang.
But don't let the subdued look fool you. The 24-year-old feisty sex-lover tweeted her love for the porn site Pornhub last night (after they tweeted how much they love her) saying, "@Pornhub if u only knew how much @Rihanna looove u!!! #brazilians #latinos
Ha!
With her slim body--which gets thinner and thinner every time we see her it seems--the look overpowers her and does nothing for her frame. Maybe it would have been better in a pop of a bright color.
Rih posed it up with her co-stars Brooklyn Decker & John Tui.
Cute nails.
And Australia's new "X-Factor" host, Mel B., rocked a hot red jumper as she hit up the premiere with hubby Stephen Belafonte.

MR. WEST IS IN THE BUILDING: Kanye & 2 Chainz Hit "106 & Park"
Last night on BET's "106 & Park," Kanye West made a surprise appearance with his "Mercy" homie 2 Chainz, who has been all over the radio these days. Pics and video inside...
While ATL rapper 2 Chainz (formerly known as Tity Boi) was the guest of the show, he brought his super-producing homie Kanye West along as a surprise. 2 Chainz is currently featured on Nicki Minaj's "Beez In The Trap" single. The twosome dished to hosts Terrence & Rocsi on their collabo "Mercy," 'Ye's new Yeezys, and Chainz's debut studio album (which Kanye is producing some of) Based on A T.R.U. Story, dropping August 14th on Def Jam.
Kanye didn't really spak (y'all know he doesn't "do" media), but that leopard jacket said it all:
Loves him. Speaing of Kanye, Radar Online reports he will indeed make an appearance or two on his new boo Kim Kardashian's new season of her E! reality show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." Despite the fact chick just said on the "Today" show a few days ago she would never again put a boyfriend or personal relationship on tv. How convenient this is. No surprise here.
Check out the video of the twosome's appearance and how Kanye is schooling 2 Chainz on the ins and outs of performing:

Beyonce Flaunts Her Post-Baby Tankini Body, Soaks Up The Sun With Jay-Z
Between Beyonce's post-baby curves in a swimsuit & Jay-Z's seemingly perfectly shaven body...there was a whole lot to get an eyeful of when Beyonce & hubby Jay hit the beach in St. Barts yesterday.
Check out the pics of Bey looking fab in her black tankini and soaking up some sun with Jay inside....
Looks like Bey spotted the paparazzi. The 30-year-old "Countdown" singer laid out on the beach--with hubby's throwback boombox in tow--and hit the ocean in this cute tankini with a frilled hem. And they left baby Blue with their fam as they made the beach date a couple's affair:
She threw her hair in a braided ponytail and took a dip in the ocean solo:
She looks great!
She picked up her cutoff shorts and headed back to lay out. Looks like the new mom is still getting in shape for her big Memorial Day Weekend return to the stage in Atlantic City. Work!

Daniel Radcliffe 'A Hell Of A Talent' In 'Kill Your Darlings'
Radcliffe's portrayal of Allen Ginsberg in upcoming indie flick will 'put to bed so many doubting minds,' Ben Foster tells MTV News.
By Kevin P. Sullivan

The list of characters in "Kill Your Darlings" is enough to immediately draw attention. The upcoming film counts literary icons like Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac among its players, but the young cast attached to fill out the roles is truly something to behold.
The indie production made waves in Hollywood by landing Daniel Radcliffe in the role of Ginsberg. With so many people paying attention to Radcliffe's post-"Potter" career moves, "Kill Your Darlings" became the project to watch. Radcliffe's name joined a list of some of Hollywood's hottest young talent, including Elizabeth Olsen, "Chronicle" star Dane DeHaan, "Boardwalk Empire" actor Jack Huston and Ben Foster.
MTV News spoke with Foster about working as part of such a talented young cast and how Radcliffe will "shock" audiences come next year.
"What's most exciting about the script is that these are before they were giants. These lions of literature are still in development," Foster said. "Working with these actors is a gas. You can't live up to the hero. You can live up the child. That's what we're honoring."
Of all the cast members, it's likely that Radcliffe has the most to prove. As only his second film role after ending the "Harry Potter" series, the film could be a crossroads of sorts for his career. Foster spoke to Radcliffe's ability and predicted audience reactions when the film finally hits. "In terms of Daniel Radcliffe, I admire him so much. He is a tremendously courageous human, great mind," Foster said.
"He's done some work in this film which I think is going to shock and impress and put to bed so many doubting minds. Everyone seems to be ready to cut the man down, and he's going to prove them wrong. He's a hell of a talent."
"Kill Your Darlings" is due out in theaters next year.

The campaign appears to be working, as at one point on Wednesday, Invisible Children and #stopkony were trending higher on Twitter than Peyton Manning or the new iPad. </P><P> </P><P>Since 1987, human rights officials say Kony has forcefully abducted more than 60,000 children to be soldiers in his army and reportedly raped, mutilated and killed civilians in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan and displaced more than 2 million people. The leader is wanted for committing atrocities by the International Criminal Court and is being hunted down by 100 U.S. Special Forces advisers and local troops in four Central African nations, according to the <a href="http://bit.ly/AyrDyz"><I>Associated Press.</I></a> </P><P> </P><P>Kony 2012 is an effort to capture Kony and disarm the LRA before a reported window of opportunity closes. One way it plans to do that is by encouraging users to directly message a variety of stars to make use of their Twitter ubiquity to get the word out. Among those listed on the site are: Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Angelina Jolie, Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Jay-Z, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Ryan Seacrest and Ellen DeGeneres, along with a number of major policymakers. </P><P> </P><P>When users click on the celebs' photos, a tweet pops up that reads: Help us end #LRA violence. Visit kony2012.com to find out why and how. @timtebow Join us for #KONY2012. </P><P> </P><P><a href="http://act.mtv.com/posts/invisible-children-video-joseph-kony/">Get More on Invisible Children at ACT.MTV.com.</a></p>

One Direction?s SNL Debut (Videos)
One Direction invaded Saturday Night Live last night for the very first time and let me say they killed it! The UK boy band did an awesome job and if you missed it never fear I have a couple of video highlights from the show you can check out right here. I have to admit I had sort of written off One Direction as another teeny bopper boy band with little talent. However I think I was wrong. I really enjoyed what they did last night on SNL. I mean Niall Horan, Zayn Malik,�Liam Payne,�Harry Styles�and�Louis Tomlinson gave a couple of pretty awesome performances. First up the group, which was formed by Simon Cowell after each of the boys appeared on Brittan?s The X Factor individually, sang their mega hit song ?What Makes You Beautiful?. Wow that was pretty freaking good if you ask me and I am not done yet. The boys came back later and sang their song ?One Thing?. Yep they rocked the house twice last night on SNL and I am pleased to say I was so wrong about this group. I mean sure they are still a boy bad but I am really liking them, [...]

The 35-year-old actress donned designer dresses from the likes of Dior and Dolce & Gabbana for the elegant Michelangelo di Battista shot spread while having been styled by Alice Gentilucci.
With the pictorial accompanied by a quote from Miss Chastain, the rising star dished, "For me, the glamor of Hollywood is identified with my favorite actresses. Greer Garson, Greta Garbo and Clara Bow, allure, mystery, sensuality, innocence."
Meanwhile, Jess also recently took to Facebook to tell her fans about her recent trip to India's landmark Taj Mahal.
Of the visit, she wrote, ?Wow! Thank you all so much for the wonderful comments you?ve made! I?m sorry I?ve been away.

Hope you are all well and happy. xx?
