Miley Cyrus And Charlie Sheen Trade 'Epic' Posts On Twitter

'Always felt you were epic! Now you proved it!' the 'Two and a Half Men' star tweets at Miley.
By Aly Semigran

<P>Winning? In what can only be described as one of the more bizarre friendships to originate on Twitter, <a href="/music/artist/cyrus__miley/artist.jhtml">Miley Cyrus</a> and Charlie Sheen have formed something of a bond on the social networking site. </P><P> </P><P><a href="http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2011/04/04/miley-cyrus-rejoins-twitter">Cyrus, who just recently returned to Twitter</a> &#8212; she left back in 2009, telling followers it was at the suggestion of on-again, off-again boyfriend <a href="http://www.mtv.com/videos/news/468023/9-miley-cyrus-quits-twitter.jhtml">Liam Hemsworth</a> &#8212; has become one of the former <a href="/news/articles/1659017/charlie-sheen-twitter.jhtml">"Two and a Half Men" star's</a> record-breaking 3.4 million-plus followers. </P><P> </P><P>On Sunday, Cyrus <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/gypsyhearttour/status/54670570926768129" target="_blank">tweeted</a> from her new account, @gypsyhearttour: "Do not fear...the Sheenius is here!' I'm not gonna lie. I came back to twitter for 2 reasons. My fans and to follow Charlie Sheen." </P><P> </P><P>Since then, the 18-year-old has been trading tweets with the troubled 45-year-old actor, who is currently on the road with his shaky <a href="/news/articles/1661215/charlie-sheen-torpedo-of-truth-tour.jhtml">My Violent Torpedo of Truth</a> tour. </P><P> </P><P>"Dear Miley, Welcome back to Twitter! Always felt you were epic! Now you proved it! Thanks for the love," Sheen wrote in response to Cyrus, to which she replied, "I always felt the same about you! You have taught me everything I know about WINNING. Duh!" </P><P> </P><P>Cyrus, who won the Favorite Movie Actress at the <a href="/news/articles/1661191/kids-choice-awards.jhtml">Kids' Choice Awards</a> over the weekend, shared on Monday, "Makin dinner for my fam right now. Honey sesame chicken, garlic rice &amp; salad. There's only one thing missing &amp; that's Charlie Sheen." </P><P> </P><P>Cyrus even gave a shout-out to Conan O'Brien in one of her Sheen-based tweets, when she posted, "The only person that even comes close to winning as hard core as @charliesheen is @ConanOBrien =] I will see ya tonight @ 11 COB! TWEET ME!" </P><P> </P><P>Of course, this isn't the first time the former "Hannah Montana" star has caused a stir with her Twitter conversations. In October 2009, she aired out what was believed to be a fued with fellow<a href="http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2009/10/05/whats-up-with-miley-cyrus-and-demi-lovato-trading-blows-on-twitter-could-it-be-about-selena">Disney starlets Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez</a>. Cyrus posted a picture of herself with Lovato, who had become close to Gomez, and wrote, "Now this is what true friendship looks like. None of that hollywood crap. @ddlovato I miss you = ]" </P><P> </P><P>Cyrus also had a minor Twitter battle with <a href="/news/articles/1613544/miley-cyrus-and-justin-gaston-have-split-up-sources-say.jhtml">ex-boyfriend Justin Gaston</a> that year. In one post Gaston wrote, "People mistake stupidity for bravery way to easily." The "Party in the USA" singer then shot back, "Yeah. I love when people mistake bravery with writing a few stupid tweets trying to make it seem like they don't care. You're afraid to love." </P><P> </P><P><i>What do you think of Miley Cyrus and Charlie Sheen chatting on Twitter? Tell us in the comments!</i></p>

Miley Cyrus Makes Liam Hemsworth 'Really Happy'

'Hunger Games' actor opens up to Details about some of the controversy his girlfriend has generated.
By Jocelyn Vena

<P>When <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/cyrus__miley/artist.jhtml">Miley Cyrus</a> met her "Last Song" co-star <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/1086152/personmain.jhtml">Liam Hemsworth</a> back in 2009, it seemed that the <a href="/news/articles/1634665/miley-cyrus-discusses-her-chemistry-with-liam-hemsworth-on-ellen.jhtml">chemistry</a> between the pair didn't translate well to the moviegoing public. But the couple is still together in real life, and <a href="http://www.details.com/celebrities-entertainment/cover-stars/201203/liam-hemsworth-hunger-games-the-last-song" target="_blank"><i>Details</i></a> magazine cover boy and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/422817/moviemain.jhtml">"Hunger Games"</a> star Hemsworth opened up to the mag about their relationship. </P><P> </P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Is It Hard For Liam Hemsworth To Hide His Accent?" id="vid:724288.id:1677048" width="240" height="211"></div><p> </P><P> </P><P>"What happened happened, and we've been together two and a half years," the Aussie star said. "She makes me really happy. When you start, you want to be professional, but when you're filming those scenes with someone and pretending to love them, you're not human if you don't feel something." </P><P> </P><P>From there, the twosome embarked on a well-publicized love affair, and as comfortable as he feels with his superstar lady love, he feels equally welcomed by her family. "[Billy Ray] is very spiritual. He's just one of the nicest guys. Very accommodating. I've listened to his music since we got together. It's awesome," he said, adding that he had some Nashville-related customs and foods he had to get used to while hanging with the Cyrus clan. "I'd never heard of country-fried steak before. It's great! I love fried food." </P><P> </P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Liam Hemsworth Hopes To 'Shoot Like Katniss'" id="vid:724292.id:1677048" width="240" height="211"></div><p> </P><P> </P><P>Former Disney queen Cyrus has always courted controversy. Back in November the saucy 19-year-old told a room of her friends, "You know you're a stoner when friends make you a Bob Marley cake &#8212; you know you <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2011/11/28/miley-cyrus-smoking-too-much-weed/">smoke way too much</a> f---in' weed," at her birthday party. It was a moment that made for some spicy headlines. And a moment that Hemsworth defends. </P><P> </P><P>"She's in a room full of her best friends. And you have one person who comes in there and videos it," he said. "The poor girl can't have one night where she can feel safe in her own world. It's ridiculous."</p>

20 best Beijing hotels

by Tom O?Malley

That amazing opening ceremony or Usain Bolt's record-breaking 100-meter run might be what much of the public still remembers, but for travelers there's a more important legacy of Beijing?s Olympic Games party: hotel beds.

Thousands of rooms and beds, from big-chain luxury operations to chic courtyard hostels, are left unfilled in the city.

Lots of rooms means lots of bargains on Beijing hotel rooms.

Whether you want to bathe like an emperor in the central business district (CBD) or drop a rucksack an alleyway near the Forbidden City, Beijing has got you covered in covers.

Luxury The Opposite House (??)The Opposite HouseMarble bathrooms are so last century.

Opened in 2008, this six-story, glass-walled, 99-room boutique hotel is the city?s hippest address. The work of Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, it shows off Beijing's Olympic commitment to design and style.

Miley Cyrus 'Can't Wait' To See 'Hunger Games'

'I have to try and keep my cool,' the singer/songwriter told MTV News about her excitement over boyfriend Liam Hemsworth's new movie.
By Josh Wigler, with reporting by Josh Horowitz

<P>Katniss Everdeen might be the girl who set Gale Hawthorne's heart ablaze, but the man who plays the heroine's fellow District 12 denizen &#8212; Australian actor Liam Hemsworth &#8212; has a love life sparked by a different flame. </P><P> </P><P>We're talking about none other than Hemsworth's longtime girlfriend <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/cyrus__miley/artist.jhtml">Miley Cyrus</a>, of course, who hit the "<a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/422817/moviemain.jhtml">Hunger Games</a>" world premiere in Los Angeles on Monday (March 12) in full force to support her boyfriend's work on the film. Though Miley herself isn't a well-studied "Hunger Games" fan, she has some good reasons to have stayed away from the source material until the big premiere. </P><P> </P><P><center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:748699/cp~vid%3D748699%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A748699" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></center> </P><P> </P><P> </P><P>"I've only read through them with Liam when he was working on [the movie]," Cyrus told MTV News about her familiarity with the "Hunger Games" books. "I tried to keep it pretty separate and not turn myself into too much of a fan. But it's going to be hard probably; after watching this film, I'm going to be dying to see the next two. But I have to try and keep my cool!" </P><P> </P><P>But even without having read the "Hunger Games," Cyrus can't entirely escape the fanfare surrounding the Gary Ross-directed movie. Even she has a specific scene she can't wait to see &#8212; and surprisingly, it has absolutely nothing to do with Liam. </P><P> </P><P>"There's this scene with [lead actress Jennifer Lawrence] when she comes out in this amazing dress when they present her; that's the one thing I know," said Cyrus, referring to Katniss' famous "girl on fire" appearance. "I know [the whole movie] is not about that, but I can't wait to see that part! I'm dying over it already. I know that's the silliest girl thing and nobody is probably looking forward to that dress except me." </P><P> </P><P>Cyrus is definitely not the only person looking forward to the girl on fire, but despite her budding fandom, don't expect the "Hannah Montana" star to catch fire herself anytime soon. When asked, Cyrus said there's very little chance that fans will see her in "Catching Fire" or "Mockingjay," the planned follow-ups to this year's "Hunger Games." </P><P> </P><P>"I don't think so," she answered when asked about whether or not she'd appear in a sequel. "I don't think so!" </P><P> </P><P><b>Check out everything we've got on <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/422817/moviemain.jhtml">"Hunger Games."</a> </P><P> </P><P>For breaking news and previews of the latest <a href="http://splashpage.mtv.com/">comic book movies</a> &#8212; updated around the clock &#8212; visit <a href="http://splashpage.mtv.com/">SplashPage.MTV.com</a>.</b></p>

Calling all voyeurs: Google Street View hits Thailand

by Richard S. Ehrlich

For the first time, Google is exposing gorgeous, hedonistic and possibly even embarrassing photos of people, beaches, entertainment zones, hotels, homes, temples and other scenes in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket via its Street View maps.

Anyone in the world can go online and, for free, gawk at Google's pictures, which are "digitally stitched" together to offer a movable journey through Thailand's three famous tourism hotspots -- including countless shots of Thais and foreigners unaware they've been photographed.

Google hopes its newest Street View portal will emphasize the paradises and delights of Thailand, and lure more tourists to enjoy the lusciousness this Southeast Asian tropical land offers.

"We drove Phuket, Chiang Mai and Greater Bangkok and we got 95 percent of those areas, and have images that are 360-degree panoramas," says David Marx, global communications and public affairs manager for Google Asia Pacific.

"Tourists within Thailand and outside of Thailand can use this as kind of a tool to plan their trips and to virtually explore Thailand."

Rihanna Says Working With Chris Brown Is 'Innocent'

'That way our fans can come together,' she tells Ryan Seacrest of motivation for controversial remixes with her ex.
By Jocelyn Vena

<P>Three weeks after Rihanna dropped her much-debated <a href="/news/articles/1679614/rihanna-chris-brown-collaboration-reactions.jhtml">"Birthday Cake" remix</a> featuring Chris Brown, the singer is finally commenting on why she decided to work with her ex-boyfriend. Rihanna and Brown also collaborated on a remix of his "Turn Up the Music," which was released on the same day last month. </P><P> </P><P>"The first song that came about was 'Birthday Cake.' ... We ended up recording [the two songs] at the same time and executing them together," she explained on Ryan Seacrest's radio show Thursday morning (March 15). "But I reached out to [Brown] about doing 'Birthday Cake' because that's the only person that, really, it made sense to do the record. </P><P> </P><P><center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:736002/cp~vid%3D736002%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A736002" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></center> </P><P> </P><P>"Just as a musician, despite everything else, that was going to be the person," she said, referring to Brown's 2009 assault on her, which ended their relationship. "You know, I thought about rappers, and I've done that so many times, and the hottest R&B artist out right now is Chris Brown. So I wanted him on the track and then in turn he was like, 'Why don't you do the remix to my track?' and it was a trade-off." </P><P> </P><P>The ex-couple have also had fans buzzing in the last few months over rumors that they have been dating again, despite Brown's romantic relationship with aspiring model Karrueche Tran. </P><P> </P><P>"We did two records &#8212; one for my fans, one for his fans &#8212; and that way our fans can come together," Rihanna explained. "There shouldn't be a divide, you know? It's music and it's innocent." </P><P> </P><P>The interview is the first time she has commented publicly about the controversial remixes. However, <a href="/news/articles/1679712/rihanna-chris-brown-birthday-cake-the-dream.jhtml">"Birthday Cake" co-producer/writer The-Dream</a> recently stopped by MTV News' "RapFix Live" and opened up about the track. </P><P> </P><P>"The same questions that went through my mind, and I'm an artist also, had to have gone through hers," The-Dream recalled of hearing Rihanna's remix idea. "When she raised the question to me, I know she's not crazy. So my thought was, 'You've been thinking about this, you've already thought it out, so evidently you know what reaction you gonna get.' </P><P> </P><P>Dream added of Rihanna and Chris' troubled history, "Everybody knows what took place, cool.

Elvis Beer Cans: In 2004, Miller Brewing Co. released a set of eight commemorative beer cans celebrating 50 years of rock music. Doing the math, that would mark the start of rock and roll in 1954, and we all know what happened then ? Elvis? first recording, ?That?s All Right.? So, of course Elvis was on one of the cans.

Rihanna Enjoys Some Drama-Free Birthday Cake

Singer celebrates grandmother's birthday in New York, live tweeting almost the entire affair.
By John Mitchell

<P>Enjoying a bit of a break after a hectic few months, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/rihanna/artist.jhtml">Rihanna</a> stopped by her grandparents' apartment in Brooklyn, New York, this weekend for an intimate family gathering celebrating her grandmother's birthday. </P><P> </P><P>The Bajan pop sensation live tweeted practically the entire affair, beginning with a stop to pick up some wine and grub. Ever the expert in double entendre, Rihanna <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/rihanna/status/180833717785341952" target="_blank">tweeted</a> a picture of the sausage aisle, calling it her "fave section in Whole Foods." </P><P> </P><P>She posted 21 pictures of the festivities, many with the hashtag #grangrandollybday. </P><P> </P><P><b><big><a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/rihanna-parties-with-her-grandparents/1681291/6993949/photo.jhtml">To take a look at some of the photos, click here.</a></big></b> </P><P> </P><P>It's been a busy and at times controversial 2012 for Rihanna, who has endured heavy criticism for her decision to add ex-boyfriend Chris Brown to a remix of her <i>Talk That Talk</i> track <a href="/news/articles/1681128/rihanna-chris-brown-birthday-cake.jhtml">"Birthday Cake."</a> Brown remains on probation after pleading guilty to felony assault of the singer in 2009. </P><P> </P><P>But the only thing on Rihanna's mind this weekend was celebrating her "Gran Gran" Dolly's birthday with family and close friends. Ever the devoted granddaughter, RiRi <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/rihanna/status/180857280101752834" target="_blank">hit the kitchen</a> to cook up some goods before enjoying a glass of wine with her grandparents, who met in Guyana before moving to Barbados and later the U.S. Growing up, Rihanna regularly spent holidays in New York with her grandparents. </P><P> </P><P>The "We Found Love" singer even tweeted her grandfather's confusion over her ever-changing hair color. "My GranDad: Robyn how ya is get hair from red to cream to black??? Cuz ya don't carry wigs," she wrote. "Ya does wash it out?! ME: ROTFL (no words)" </P><P> </P><P>It looks like Gran Gran Dolly got plenty of gifts and the family enjoyed cake and champagne as well as a fun game of dress-up. Rihanna <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/rihanna/status/180890413631143937" target="_blank">posted</a> several pics of both her grandmother and grandfather Lionel sporting sideways-skewed baseball caps and heavy gold chains. </P><P> </P><P>The family visit must have been a nice change of pace for the always-working diva, who is prepping for the May release of her film debut, "Battleship." She's also still promoting her hit 2011 album <i>Talk That Talk,</i> and in a recent interview with <a href="http://www.accesshollywood.com/rihanna-dishes-on-new-album-and-collaborating-with-katy-perry-its-going-to-happen_article_62009" target="_blank">"Access Hollywood,"</a> she admitted she's trying to work out a collaboration with her good friend Katy Perry. "We have been working on this for years. We still are trying to make a song together, Katy Perry and I," Rihanna said. "She is one of my favorite musicians, as well as one of my favorite people in the industry. ... Whenever we're in the same city, we try to do something &#8212; whether it's seeing each other for five minutes for a hug [or] whether it's partying all night at some random afterparty for an award show." </P><P> </P><P>As for the duet, it's on the docket if not necessarily in the works. "The song will probably come out in a while," Rihanna told "Access Hollywood." "I won't say that it's happening right now, but it's going to happen."</p>

Al Wertheimer and the Dreaded Tonto Bar

 

 

I received an unexpected e-mail last week.  It was from Alfred Wertheimer, the most famous Elvis photographer and an interesting guy.  He sent me a joke.  Not just me.  He had a blast e-mail list of folks he shared the joke with, and I was thrilled he had me on his list.

 

The message was short:

 

                                    ?All:

 

                                    Time out for a good old fashioned laugh.

 

                                    AW?

 

And, at that point I realized Al had sent me a joke.  Cool.   Here it is:

 

 

Nice little joke.

 

When I wrote Al back to thank him, I enclosed a photo I found on the internet somewhere and asked if it was one of his.  And, if it was, could I post it as well and comment on it.  Al not only was nice enough to say yes, he also was nice and sent me a better copy of the photo.

 

 

 

Photo by Alfred Wertheimer  -  used by permission

 

 

 

Do you know what Elvis is doing here?  If you are familiar with his 1956 TV show appearances, you will recognize this as a shot from the Steve Allen Show.  It is from the same night when Elvis wore a tux and sang to a real hound dog.   Allen had Elvis in a comedy sketch about coyboys.  Here we see him shooting at a dreaded Tonto Bar being pulled across the stage by a wire.  The skit was pretty lame, but I love watching it again.

 

A couple of observations.  How do you like that wide belt Elvis is wearing?  Maybe a forerunner of things to come.   And what?s with the shoes?  I asked Alfred why Elvis was wearing white shoes, not cowboy boots, and he said the photo was taken at rehersal.  Elvis wore boots for the live broadcast.

 

 

Alfred always has plenty of stuff going on -- mostly Elvis related.  I keep asking him if I could do a phone interview about his gig as a film photographer at Woodstock.  Al was on the Woodstock staff.  Talk about being in a situation with amazing opportunities for memorable events.  You know Al has to have some good stories to tell, and I?ll be happy just to write about his.  Someday, I hope.

 

For the past two years, Alfred has been involved with the Smithsonian Institution?s touring exhibition ?Elvis at Twenty One.? 

 

 

 

"Elvis at Twenty-One" features forty of his famous photographs of Elvis, and it opened in January 2008 at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles.  The exhibition?s three month run at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond just ended.  Click here for a great review of this exhibit by Troy Yeary at the Mystery Train Elvis Blog.

During April, May and June, ?Elvis at Twenty One? will be presented at the Dwight D Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene, Kansas.
