MTV News had a prime spot on the red carpet and inside Staples Center — here's what you missed if you were watching on TV.
By MTV News staff

<P>MTV News spent hours interviewing artists and stars on the <a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/?fid=1679060">Grammy red carpet</a>. After everyone was inside Los Angeles' Staples Center, some of the news team made their way backstage while the rest made their way to their seats. Here are some observations that anyone watching from their couch would never have seen: </P><P> </P><P><b>Pretty Please, More Pink</b>: Inside Staples Center, they play highlights from past shows during commercial breaks. <a href="/news/articles/1630885/pink-soars-during-glitter-in-the-air-grammy-performance.jhtml">Pink's performance of "Glitter in the Air"</a> captivated the audience so much that when they cut back to the show, the entire crowd groaned. </P><P> </P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" id="vid:733130.id:1679087" width="240" height="211"></div><p> </P><P> </P><P><b>Mother Monster's Security Detail</b>: Lady Gaga moved through the arena flanked by two bodyguards in order to make it safely to her seat in time for Recording Industry President Neil Portnoy's speech.

LaLa Anthony COVERS "LATINA" Magazine, Says She TRUSTS Carmelo And Gives Him Space

 

 

In a spring ready colorful spread, LaLa Anthony covers the April 2012 issue of "LATINA" Magazine where she dishes on keeping her marriage fresh and the trust she and husband Carmelo Anthony share.  She also offers helpful advice on building confidence and self-esteem.  See the highlights inside...

In the latest issue of "LATINA" Magazine, LaLa Anthony talks about her new makeup line, her reality show, being a mother to 5-year-old Kiyan and loving her NBA baller husband Carmelo Anthony.   even offers advice to the next generation about self-esteem and fighting insecurity.  Here are the highlights:


On how she and Carmelo have lasted 8 years


“It’s been 15 days since I’ve seen my husband. That’s a long time for us to go without seeing each other. But I went on this whirlwind of launching the makeup line and my husband’s a basketball player. It’s not like he can say, ‘Hey, I’m not playing in the game today, I’m going to meet up with my wife somewhere.’ We’ve been together for eight years and I think we’ve lasted this long because we give each other space.  But there’s also that time where it can be too much space.”

On being successful and having it all

“I’m never satisfied—career-wise, I mean—I’m always looking for the next thing; that’s just my personality,” she says. “Why can’t I be a great mom, wife, TV host, actress, producer, have my own reality show and makeup line? The hard part is the balancing of it all.”

On trusting her husband Carmelo

“I wouldn’t say it’s a misconception, because there are a lot of athletes who do live a certain life with women everywhere,” La La says. “So you can’t act like it’s the craziest thing you’ve ever heard, because it is out there. But I’m secure in my relationship. I’m happy with having my own thing going on. I don’t spend all day worrying about what he’s doing. In that sense, I trust him.”

On staying confident


Tap into your uniquenessss - “I encourage people to embrace whatever it is that makes them different. Not being like everybody, setting your own trends, being your own person, that’s what
makes you cool.”


On making peace with your insecurities


“In this day and age, [people will] tear you to hell: ‘Her hair, her legs, her this, her that.’ So it is sometimes hard to stay as confident as you like. I’m just like anybody else. Weight goes up and down, sometimes I’m killing myself to be on a crazy diet, sometimes I’m not. Sometimes I feel like my legs are too skinny, other times I don’t. As you get more mature you learn to embrace insecurities and figure out how to be okay with that stuff, to keep it in perspective.”

On building a great support system


“My family always encouraged me and supported me. While still a teenager, I told my mom one day I was moving to L.A.  She was like, ‘All right, I’ll go with you, get you settled and come back.’ If I didn’t have that I wouldn’t be confident to do all these things.”

Kyra Sedgwick: "My Kids Light Up My Life"

Even after more than 20 years of marriage, actress Kyra Sedgwick says her "heart gets a little fluttery" when she sees her husband Kevin Bacon. Parents to kids Travis, 22, and Sosie, 18, the couple have one of Hollywood's longest - and seemingly happiest - relationships. Covering the March issue of Redbook, the 46-year-old star of The Closer explains how they manage to make it work.

On balancing being a partner and being a parent: "I feel the primary relationship has to be the mother and the father, and then it can be the kids. Of course the kids come first in planning your life, but it's incredibly important to keep your relationship as a couple strong and make time for it. It's the foundation on which everything is built. Kids should know that your needs are important, because if they think your happiness lies only in them, that's a lot of pressure on them. Plus, I think if you are pursuing your own goals, it makes your kids want to search for whatever their dreams and bliss are."

Jonas Brothers Promise 'Anything Goes' On New Album

'We're saying, 'Let's just vibe out, write a million songs and see what we're feeling most,' Nick Jonas tells MTV News.
By Jocelyn Vena

It's on! The Jonas Brothers promised they'd be hitting the studio very soon, and it seems they are men of their word. This week big bro Kevin tweeted out some footage of Joe and Nick in the studio whipping up some musical ear candy that will surely delight their fans.

While there's no certainty that the teased track will make their next studio release, the song certainly does blend the guys' love for mixing genres, touching on soul, rock and disco.

When Nick dropped by the MTV News offices recently, he said that when this next album drops, all bets are off as to what it will sound like.

"We have spoken about it, and the thing we're doing which is different to any record we've made in the past is we're saying, 'Anything goes, let's just vibe out, listen to a million songs, write a million songs and see what we're feeling most.' Our statement, as a band, for this record has to be really strong. We feel like we want to deliver the best record we can."

Individually, the guys have been busy churning out albums, but there hasn't been a proper JB album since 2009, when they dropped Lines, Vines and Trying Times. The guys are well aware that the music scene is vastly different three years later.

"We pay attention to it, definitely," Nick said. "That's part of your job as an artist, too, is to be aware of what other people are doing. ... We pay attention and have been paying attention just to see where we want to fall. But first we just want to write great songs, and as far as how it sounds, that'll come second."

There has yet to be a release date for the album, but the Jonas Brothers have teased that it may drop before the end of the year. The hashtag #JonasBrothers2012 attached to the studio video may be the best hint so far.

"We don't know how long it's going to take us to write this record," Nick warned. "It may take a couple weeks, it may take months, it could take years, but we're ready to go on that journey. It's been a while and there has been a lot of growth as individuals and musically as well. We've all gone on our journeys musically. It'll be interesting to see what comes of that."

<P>When <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/lady_gaga/artist.jhtml">Lady Gaga</a> officially launches her <a href="/news/articles/1677562/lady-gaga-born-this-way-foundation.jhtml">Born This Way Foundation</a> on February 29, she'll be joined by the one-time queen of daytime TV, Oprah Winfrey. </p><div class="player-placeholder right" id="vid:683376.id:1669247" width="240" height="211"></div><p> The singer and former talk-show host will be joined by Mother Monster's own mother, Cynthia Germanotta, at the Harvard University event to kick off the foundation, which aims to inspire young people. The affair will be captured for a future episode of "Oprah's Next Chapter" on her OWN network. "My mother and I have initiated a passion project. We call it the <a href="/news/articles/1673633/lady-gaga-born-this-way-foundation.jhtml">Born This Way Foundation</a>," Gaga said in a statement last November about the foundation, which takes its name from her hit single and album. "Together we hope to establish a standard of Bravery and Kindness, as well as a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment." The foundation will work with a number of partners, including the John D. &amp; Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the California Endowment and the Berkman Center for Internet &amp; Society at Harvard University. According to the statement, the foundation will focus on "youth empowerment and equality by addressing issues like self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development and will utilize digital mobilization as one of the means to create positive change." "My daughter's foundation was born out of her passion to create a better world where people are kinder and nicer to one another and are accepted for who they are, regardless of how different they may be," Mama Germanotta said. "She has experienced many of the struggles that our youth encounter today, and identifies with the lasting effects they can have without proper support. Together, we look forward to creating a new movement that will engage and empower youth and accept them as valuable members of our society."</p>

During her MTV special, "Demi Lovato: Stay Strong," airing at 10 p.m. ET/PT today (March 6) on MTV, the singer/actress opens up about her connection to her Lovatics, and how they inspire her as much as she inspires them.

"Every time someone asks me for a picture or an autograph, even if I'm having a bad day and I'm in a bad mood, I remember, 'You're nothing without this person,' " she says during the documentary. "They make it special."

At a tour stop, one fan tells Lovato that she inspired her to not wear her wig and just embrace who she is. The young woman tells the singer, "Keep being awesome."

Later during her performance, Lovato recalls meeting the fan and invites her to come onstage to sing. "Give it up to my friend who inspired me earlier," she tells the room of screaming Lovatics, with her special fan at her side.

Her fans are a big part of "Stay Strong," voicing their own testimonials about how they found strength in Lovato, her story and her music. "My fans have been really receptive towards me. They've really welcomed me into their arms after everything I've been through, so I'm really thankful for them," she told MTV News. "They also stand by my side and support me no matter what, which is an amazing feeling."

She's set to welcome fans into her life when "Stay Strong" debuts today (March 6) at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV, followed by a live Q&A with the star during "The After Show" at 11 p.m. ET/PT.

"I've just been working at it a day at a time and have been trying to continue to fight my hardest," she told MTV News. "And I've had my ups and downs, and I'm still trying, but overall, it's been a really great journey, and I'm thankful for everything that I've been through."

Don't miss "Demi Lovato: Stay Strong," debuting at 10 p.m. ET/PT today (March 6) on MTV.

FAMILY DRAMA: Mel B's Sister Airs DIRTY LAUNDRY On Twitter, Worried About Mel's Mental State?!

Danielle Brown, the estranged sister of Mel B. has taken to Twitter to air a lot of family drama (again) insisting the family hates her hubby and that Mel has a fragile mental state.  And she thinks Mel's kids are in DANGER.  See the tweets inside.....

Danielle Brown (shown above with Mel B in 2000), who hasn't spoken to her sister in three years, has taken to Twitter to air their family issues. 

It seems as though Mel B cut off the family after marrying Stephen (whom according to Danielle, no one likes).  Now, it seems as though the sisters ONLY communicate through Twitter.  This same drama happened a couple of years ago as well when reports surfaced that Stephen and Mel had a rocky relationship and Stephen spoke out against Mel during their initial split.  The two were quickly back together.

This weekend, Mel & Danielle "allegedly" had a nasty Twitter exchange (Mel B's tweets have been deleted) about a few issues, but Mel insists all isn't what it seems.  She says her account was hacked and that Danielle had a fight with a hacker!

Danielle agrees....except she thinks the hacker was Mel's husband Stephen!

Now Danielle is sounding the alarm that Mel has a fragile mental state and needs to be away from Stephen.  She tweeted, "Enough is Enough we need a PRIVATE family meeting.you me mum and dad No Film crew no cameras and NO STEPHEN,R THE KIDS SAFE?"

This may or may not be called for.....sigh.

Here's the first exchange....

And the second......

This is ugly.  What's REALLY going on with Mel B. & her hubby and fam...
