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

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

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."

MAGAZINE FAB: Jordin Sparks Gets FLY With Her Pups For LIFE DOG, Naomi Gets BOUND & GAGGED For "V Spain"

Jordin Sparks is showing off a lot these days.  And we're not complaining.  In the new pet-lover mag Life + Dog, 21-year-old Jordin is rocking the cover and pages with her pups, including little Minnie, and her mom...and her new uber fit bod.

 

Pics, plus Naomi Campbell's controversial cover, inside....

 

Vintage fly.  Ms. Sparks covers the pages of the September 2011 issue of the dog lover mag with her own pups and her mom Jodie.

On the songstress' pup of choice

“I absolutely adore Labradors. They are the perfect dog. They are so smart and learn so fast! They’re not too big and not too small and I love that they love to swim because I do, too! But I have a Schnauzer-Bichon and a Schnauzer-Poodle mix and since they grew up with our lab they think they are too! Jumping in the pool, fetching—the whole nine.”
 

On becoming the official ambassador for Collars for a Cause

“It breaks my heart to see people wanting to best provide for their animal companion and not having the financial resources to do so.  Organizations like SNAP not only help these animal lovers by going out in their community and providing free and low-cost services, they also serve as a great example to other groups and cities of how we can all help each other help the animals.”

More pics:

Loves this!

 

In other not so airy and cheery news, Naomi Campbell posed for a dark and controversial cover for V Spain magazine:

She's bound with rope and gagged and covered with yellow tape on the cover while rocking dominatrix inspired gear.  Apparently folks were in an uproar when the issue hit the newsstands.  But he supermodel, who is donning Louis Vuitton Fall 201 pieces, says it was all in the name of artistic expression.

The Sebastian Faena shoot is an homage to provocative Spanish film director, Pedro Almodovar, whose dark humor laces his many movies.
 

Some readers expressed discomfort looking at a black woman tied up and gagged.  But others, like 41-ear-old Na Na, say it's all art.  The Daily Mail reports:

'I only know Pedro socially. However, what I have always liked about Pedro is that his films perfectly combine passion, intelligence and style with a twist of humour – leaving his indelible mark on everything he does,' she said.

'I think that was the essence Sebastian [Faena] drew upon for our cover photo shoot.'

'I’m sure some have wanted to "tie me up and tie me down" and perhaps others wanted to tape my mouth shut!'

'I’m sure some have wanted to ‘tie me up and tie me down’ and perhaps others wanted to tape my mouth shut! But this is something I would only permit for this issue dedicated to Pedro [Almodovar] as he always does everything “tongue-in-cheek."'

The issue is dedicated to the filmmaker whose new movie, The Skin I Live, starring Antonio Banderas and Elena Anaya, premiers next month.

'Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance' Trailer Is Flamin' Awesome

First trailer from the film has been released following a preview at last month's San Diego Comic-Con.
By Aubrey Sitterson

One of the most surprising things to come out of this year's San Diego Comic-Con was footage from "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance." Everyone knew that the film was roaring down the highway toward us, but no one expected it to actually look, well, good. After scenes from the movie were shown at the event, the Internet was abuzz with talk of fans finally getting the "Ghost Rider" movie they deserve. Now, you can see what all the fuss was about for yourself with the first trailer for the upcoming film.

Based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" is the sequel to 2007's "Ghost Rider." The biker with the flaming-skull head has long been one of Marvel's darker and more twisted characters, especially considering his backstory as a motorcycle daredevil whose pact with the devil didn't turn out quite as he planned. As the Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze rides America's forgotten highways, meting out vengeance with his flaming bike, signature chain and a host of fire-based powers.

Like the 2007 film, "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" features Nicolas Cage, and the character boasts a whole new look that ties into the darkness at the Ghost Rider's core.

"The Ghost Rider is just the coolest-looking superhero, and it has to be the one that goes to film and looks the best," Cage told MTV News last month. "I think they've achieved that with this."

At the helm of "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" are Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine, the pair of directors best known for their high-octane flicks "Crank" and "Crank: High Voltage." The duo told MTV News that they were test-driving all-new techniques while filming the movie, including Neveldine strapping on Rollerblades and clinging to the back of a motorcycle just to get a single amazing shot.

That commitment to madness is clearly on display in the new trailer for "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance," as the movie looks to be fully embracing what makes the character so spectacularly over-the-top. Though it starts out slow, by the one-minute mark, you'll find yourself up to your leather jacket in explosive, flame-drenched action. Over the course of the trailer, you'll see the Ghost Rider take out cars with his chain, spit bullets at bad guys and even pee fire. Seriously — he actually pees fire, and it's absolutely awesome.
