With a Little Luck: A Novel

My good friend Caprice Crane's new book, With a Little Luck, is out today. Yay, Caprice!

It's gotten great reviews:

"Crane is one of the funniest writers of popular fiction around. The dialog (inner and outer) is laugh-out-loud, snort-inducing hilarious . . . Readers will want to cross their fingers and spit while throwing salt over their shoulders if it helps Berry reach her dreams. Highly recommended."

Library Journal

"Fans of Stacy Ballis and Cara Lockwood will appreciate Crane's effortlessly funny style, which is often attempted in popular fiction but is rarely this well executed...Lighthearted and charmingly honest."

—Booklist

"[A] satisfying romantic comedy...[with] real character growth."

—Kirkus Reviews

And even better blurbs:

"Romantic, poignant and funny—this book is a lucky find for lit fans. Caprice Crane is a nimble and gifted storyteller."

—Diablo Cody, Academy Award-winning screenwriter of Juno

"A hilarious romp that oozes charm and giddy fun. Caprice Crane is a true talent."

—Molly Jong-Fast, author of The Social Climber's Handbook

"Witty, fast-paced, and sheer fun. Caprice Crane is a master of dialogue. Half the time I was reading this book I was smiling, which made me look like a crazy person on the subway."

—Jancee Dunn, author of Don’t You Forget About Me and Why Is My Mother Getting a Tattoo?

"Absolutely charming and hilarious."

—Missy Peregrym, star of the movie Stick It and ABC's Rookie Blue

"With a Little Luck scores in humor, head, and heart. In other words, it’s a perfect trifecta."

—Karyn Bosnak, author of 20 Times a Lady (soon to be the major motion picture What's Your Number?)

(Omg, who is that last fantastic blurber?) (I meant every word of it.)

And most importantly, she has the cutest dog ever (who likes to video chat with Bev):

Anyway, check it out, buy it—it's fantastic!

Lady Gaga Releases First 'Fashion Film' Version of 'You and I'

Video was directed by fashion photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, with four more clips to come.

Most artists make one big splashy video for their latest single and then move on to the next one. As she's proven over and over again, though — most recently at the VMAs, where she stayed in her Jo Calderone character all night long — Lady Gaga is not most people.

After announcing on Twitter on Thursday that she shot five "fashion films" set to "Yoü and I" with Dutch fashion photography duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, she unleashed the first clip later that day, "Haus of Ü Featuring Nymph."

In typical Gaga fashion, it is perplexing, mesmerizing and just a bit odd, and nothing like the way-more elaborate, official music video for the rocking ballad. The barely two-minute black-and-white clip has Gaga pulling off a series of balletic twists and turns while wearing a simple slip dress and ballet slippers, her blonde hair loose and waving in the wind or up in a bun. At various points, there appear to be moths or some other kind of insect flying around in the background and lying dead on the ground.

Wearing very little makeup, Gaga stares intently at the camera while dancing in front of a stark white background. At one point she pulls up the dress while writhing on the ground, almost exposing herself. Near the end there is a fleeting moment where she gazes into the camera while holding her hair on her head in what looks like a colorized photo, with blonde applied to her locks, along with blush on her cheeks and a splash of blue on the dress.

Gaga did not announce when the other videos would be posted.

Elizabeth Olsen Talks 'Martha Marcy,' Oscar Buzz

Actress opens up about her troubled character, growing up Olsen and sitting next to Kevin Bacon, in our Fall Movie Preview.

Eight months after her breakout debut at the Sundance Film Festival — when her two films turned heads, dropped jaws and had the town asking, "Where'd this girl come from?" — Elizabeth Olsen is no more used to the spotlight than before her entrance into the movie world.

But then, the younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen has spent a lifetime surrounded by the attention (and the aggression) of Hollywood. So if Elizabeth hadn't already become accustomed to hobnobbing with the celebrity set, hadn't inured herself to any limelight-induced nerves by last January, the upcoming release of "Martha Marcy May Marlene" and the accompanying Oscar buzz for her performance can hardly be expected to change any of that.

She hasn't upgraded her modest home, hasn't signed onto a mega-budget franchise flick, hasn't quite gotten used to the fact that the media doesn't want to tear her down. And she hasn't gotten tired of talking about "Martha Marcy," which Fox Searchlight is releasing on October 21. Olsen stars as Martha, a young woman who escapes a cult, reunites with her family and finds even that though she's left behind her old life, that life has not left her.

As part of our Fall Movie Preview, Olsen called up MTV News recently to chat about the film. By turns earnest, giggly, awestruck and grateful about the place she finds herself at the age of 22, Olsen spoke passionately about what it was like to work with writer/director Sean Durkin, the media lessons she learned from her sisters, and what it was like to be in the same room as Leonardo DiCaprio.

MTV: The last time we talked was at Sundance, when you made a big splash with "Martha Marcy" and "Silent House." Has life changed at all since everyone dubbed you a Sundance breakout star?

Elizabeth Olsen: Personally, it's all the same. I still live in a 300-square-foot apartment. I made some more friends along the way and I've been traveling a lot. But professionally, since Sundance, I've made two more movies and now I get to keep reading cool scripts that before Sundance I wouldn't have been even considered for. So that's cool. It's not about the size of the movie, it's just character and story. Even independent films have their fair share of more simplistic stories, and then there are studio films that are more psychologically exciting. For me, it's just figuring out if I like the character and seeing if I could be considered.

MTV: Along those lines, your character in "Martha Marcy" is not your typical young female Hollywood role. Was that the initial appeal for you?

Olsen: There were two things I immediately responded to in the script. The first was I really like being an audience, and when I finished, it was really thrilling from an audience perspective — the narrative and the way it was told. And from a character point of view, it was someone I could play with and be challenged by. It wasn't like I was thinking, "No one does characters like this and I want to do that!"

MTV: How do you get to "play" with such a troubled character?

Olsen: For me, the analogy is if a kid gets access to the full playground, rather than just the monkey bars. I had not just the story of this cult, but how to recover from it. Within that, there's anger, humiliation, embarrassment, inspiration, finding of a place and then being isolated from that place. There are so many things that fit into one person, which is so thrilling, as opposed to taking one part of the story. You get to fully create this circle, this cycle.

MTV: There are a lot of layers there. And the story itself reveals itself in layers.

Olsen: What's cool is the way Sean edited the past with the present. A lot of times at the beginning of a scene, you don't know where you are. You have to actively be on your toes. We filmed all of the cult stuff first, just because of location, and then we filmed everything after. That was lucky to have gone though the cult stuff first. Sean and I never talked about how he wanted everything to be perceived, whether things are flashbacks or if it's all imagined. Everything was real to me. It's exciting for the audience to have to figure out their own route to the story and how everything happened and where she came from and how she got there. Enough is in the context for them to make their own choices. I like seeing every romantic comedy in theater, but I also love having to be an active audience member. I don't like things being fed to me. There were some scenes that were cut that actually gave the audience more backstory information. People have been asking, "Where do you think your character was before, blah, blah, blah?" The funny thing is I know, because we actually filmed those scenes, but they didn't make it into the movie.

MTV: There's Oscar talk about your performance on this one. Is that any easier to process or handle after the attention at Sundance?

Olsen: That's really cool, but I can't take it seriously. That's where I am right now. I was a little girl speaking to my mirror and accepting awards when I was 8 as a joke. I was doing a movie with Frank Sinatra in my dream world. I can't even think about any of this being a reality. The Hollywood Foreign Press thing that I got to go to a couple weeks ago was really crazy. That was my first event getting to be around all these people who I look up to and admire. That was a smaller version of all these awards shows. It's all unreal in my mind.

MTV: Who'd you get to hang out with?

Olsen: I don't really approach people at all! I don't know why — I just don't! I got to sit next to Kevin Bacon. Growing up, one of our family-favorite movies was "Tremors."

MTV: I thought you were going to say "Footloose" or something.

Olsen: It was "Tremors"! I got so excited that I got to talk to him. He was totally nice. Also, having Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg in the room was pretty cool too.

MTV: Does that sort of stuff make you nervous? The press and the events and the attention?

Olsen: That sort of stuff does make me nervous. I'm very intimidated by that. Growing up, the press and the media to me were unfriendly people. So it's interesting to be in a place where it's not so unfriendly.

MTV: Why do you think you're getting all this great press, but there was such a harsh spotlight on your sisters?

Olsen: The only thing I can think of is everyone thinks they grew up with my sisters. People feel they're innately part of their business and personal lives, which they're not. It's because there's a more intimate relationship and they can make opinions about everything. I didn't have that situation.

Check out everything we've got on "Martha Marcy May Marlene."

Usher Says New 'Rev Pop' Project Is A 'Movement'

Singer teases his new project by pointing to past hits like 'Yeah!' and 'OMG.'
By James Montgomery

With the success of songs like "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love," "Hot Tottie" and "OMG," Usher had himself a fairly massive 2010. But rather than rest on his laurels, he's looking to build on his big year, not with an album, but with a "movement."

It's something he's calling "Rev Pop" — or, simply, "Rev" — and though he's already teased his idea in a video with David Guetta (Akon is also involved), he has yet to speak in full about it. So when MTV News caught up with Ush before the 53rd annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles at the (Belvedere) RED launch party, we asked him about his next musical endeavor. And though he didn't reveal much, he did let it be known that "Rev" isn't exactly something new. In fact, he's been doing it for a while now.

"I'll give it to you this way: At a later date, I'll tell you more about Rev Pop, but if I were to give you a flash: I've done it before, I did it with 'Yeah!' " he said, "taking a cultural experience, and also worldwide recognition of a feeling, and putting the soul in the middle of it. Not allowing it to shift heavily to R&B genre, or pop. I did it again with 'OMG,' once again putting the soul in the middle of it, which was an electric-pop experience, with the soul.

"It's bringing those elements together to tell a story, that was born here," he said, gesturing toward his heart, "And that's what Rev Pop is. There's more, I mean, I could really elaborate, but that's just what I'm going to tell you right now. 'Rev' is what it's called ... the movement is called Rev."

Usher wouldn't say just when his fans would be getting their first taste of Rev, but whenever they do, it sounds like they're going to be impressed ... if not a little shocked.

"Stay alive," he smiled, "Because you're definitely going to be in for a surprise."
