'Cowboys & Aliens' Will 'Exceed' Fans' Expectations

Director Jon Favreau tells MTV News there's much more to the movie than the 'silly' title may suggest.

When news broke that "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau had wrangled two of the biggest names in the action-movie business — Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig — to star in his intriguing genre mash-up "Cowboys & Aliens," that and a compelling premise proved to be enough to send scores of fanboys online seeking advanced tickets.

But though there's lots of early buzz from the marquee names associated with "Aliens" (mega-watt producers Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard are also onboard), Favreau recently admitted to MTV News that he felt pressure to deliver something extraordinary for fans.

"Of course, with Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg [producing], I'm in real good hands," Favreau said about overcoming the challenges of establishing just the right tone for the movie. "I learned a tremendous amount from them, and I think when you cast Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig — with 'Bond' and 'Indy,' those are two franchises that are fun but not silly," he added about Craig's 007 and Ford's "Indiana Jones" series. "And I think that if people take a clue from who I cast in the film as to how it's going to play, it's a good indicator," he explained.

Favreau went on to say that there's far more to the film than what the title suggests. "I think [moviegoers] hear the name 'Cowboys and Aliens,' it sounds kind of silly, but it also sounds compelling and interesting," he said. "So if they give it a chance, they'll see it's a fun movie, it's an exciting movie, and I think it's going to exceed their expectations."

Check out everything we've got on "Cowboys & Aliens."

Britney Spears is no stranger to the Video Music Awards. She has so far been nominated 28 times, won four awards and has given us some of the most iconic VMA performances of all time. Who could forget her VMA strip-down in 2000 for "Oops! ... I Did It Again," her dance with a snake for "I'm a Slave 4 U" and, of course, her infamous "Like a Virgin" kiss with Madonna?

This year, Spears looks to add to her list of VMA accomplishments with two nominations, one for Best Pop Video and one for Best Choreography for her hit Ke$ha-penned song "Till the World Ends." MTV News recently caught up with Spears and broke the news of the nominations to the pop star.

"Oh my goodness, I'm completely flattered," Spears said. "That is amazing! Thank you so much for telling me. That's awesome!"

Spears will tackle some pretty stiff competition in both categories including seven-time nominee Adele ("Rolling in the Deep") and four-time nominee Bruno Mars ("Grenade"). But Spears isn't concentrating on her competition, she's just happy to be recognized.

"I grew up listening to MTV. It's just such an iconic thing to be able to participate in," Spears said about the VMAs. "To even be presented an award is just so flattering and I'm honored. I'm excited."

Spears should be excited after such a big year. She released her seventh studio album, Femme Fatale, which reached #1 on the Billboard chart, she's currently on the road for her summer tour, and now she has two more nominations to add to her already lengthy list of awards. So does Spears ever get used to all the VMA nominations?

"Oh no, you never get used to that!" she said.

Lauryn Hill Insinuates Rohan Marley Is NOT Her Newest Baby Daddy?

 

The official Lauryn Hill (MsHillMvngTrgt ) on twitter twit'pic'd an interesting msg to her followers Tuesday evening.  She tweeted @ Rohan Marley, her children's father, as well.  And she insinuated that, like Rohan previously said, her child she just delivered over the weekend is not Rohan's.  Deets inside...

 

We're still unclear if Lauryn & Rohan are even together anymore.  And L Boogie's newest message to her fans made us raise our eyebrows even more.

Rohan previously stirred up drama by alluding to the supposed fact that he is not the father of Lauryn's newest baby.  Seeing that they've been together for a very long time, and share 5 other children together, it caught the public off-guard.

Now, Lauryn's chimed in with the same sentiments as Rohan with this message:

Mr Marley and I have a long and complex history about which MANY inaccuracies have been reported since the beginning. To speculate without the facts can only cause people to form WRONG conclusions. We value privacy and for that reason defend and preserve our right to it. Contrary to numerous reports, Mr Marley did not abandon me while pregnant with his child. We have had long periods of separation over the years but our 5 children together remain a joy to us. Thank you for your concern and I appreciate all of the well wishes regarding the birth of my new son.

Until next time
Ms Hill
@MsHillMvngTrgt

Interesting that she discusses THEIR 5 kids, but calls her 6th "hers".  But she does say there were long periods of separation.  SO I guess Lauryn will reveal the true father when she's ready.  Congrats again to Ms. Hill on the newest bundle of joy!

Today's Lady News: Summer's Eve Pulls Their Racist Douche Ads Offline

Summer's Eve tweets
  • Summer's Eve pulled two of their racist douche commercials offline after an outpouring of complaints over their depictions of black and Latina women. Summer's Eve's PR defended their ads — like the sassy black vagina spoke with an "urban" accent and talked about how much money she spends on her hair — as "empowering" women and even said they had "in-house multi-cultural experts" who OKed the commercials. Actual women who don't believe we need vaginal cleaning products thought otherwise. [Twitter.com/FleetSummersEve]
  • A Planned Parenthood clinic in McKinney, Texas, was attacked last night with a Molotov cocktail (a homemade bomb made from diesel fuel inside a glass bottle). Fortunately the inside of the clinic was not harmed and there were no injuries. This is called domestic terrorism, people. [McKinney Courier-Gazette]
