David Guetta Takes 'Big Turn' With UN Song Campaign

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — David Guetta can't wait for you to hear his new song "One Voice" — for a couple of reasons.

The song is at the heart of a new partnership with the United Nations, and the 46-year-old French producer and DJ hopes it will inspire fans to donate money for humanitarian relief around the world, simply by tweeting. It also shows a brand new side of his musical personality. "It's a big turn for me," Guetta said of the song that features singer Mikky Ekko. "I've never had songs that are like this kind of subject, so I'm really excited about this. It's a big change lyrically, but also sonically. Just, you know, growing up, trying to do something bigger than myself. It's a big stretch from 'Sexy Bitch.'"

Guetta will project a video for "One Voice" on the side of the U.N. building in New York on Friday night with the help of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, helping raise awareness for the "The World Needs More ... " humanitarian aid campaign. Fans can trigger $1 donations by choosing a word to finish the sentence, "The world needs more ... ," and tweeting #worldneedsmore# #yourword#.

Guetta is backing the word love. Other sponsors chose words like inclusion, education, dreams and empowerment. Fans can also donate $1 by sending a text. Details are available at the campaign's website where the video unveiling also can be watched via livestream Friday night.

The campaign launches on World Humanitarian Day and was spurred by the devastation caused in the Philippines by Typhoon Hyian. The money also will go to "other parts of the world like Syria, and everywhere people are suffering," Guetta said.

The producer spoke by phone last week from the U.N. building, where he was learning more about the United Nations' humanitarian programs. He first met officials when he donated a song for another fundraiser. The more he learned, the more he wanted to help.

"People don't realize how much the U.N. is just giving food to people that are hungry and water to people who need water to survive, and just helping people in crisis everywhere in the world," Guetta said. "I was saying like how much I was surprised. If you watch the news, you see more of the political aspect of it. Hopefully the people that are following me on social media can be touched by this."

Wow, people tweet some pretty horrible things at celebrities.


Sure, "Grown Ups 2" didn't really need to happen, but that doesn't mean Kevin James deserves this kind of treatment, or Amy Poehler for that matter. Honestly, who could say something bad about Amy Poehler?!

Watch the 5th installment of this hilarious series from Thursday night's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" above. You'll notice that some of the celebs, like Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Nick Offerman, crack up at their disses, but not everyone is that amused (we're looking at you, Larry David).

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Director Francis Lawrence Discusses What Makes The Hunger Games So Good

This question originally appeared on Quora.
2013-11-22-flawrence.jpeg
Answer by Francis Lawrence, Director, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire


I think there are a few things. Susan Collins started all of this with an idea of a theme, and she wanted to create a series of stories for young adults about the consequences of war. I think that what often happens is it's done in a reverse direction where somebody comes up with a story or somebody comes up with a world and then they try and jam an idea onto that story, as opposed to it being born from a theme.
 
I also think Susan approached it without pulling any punches, so she's not talking down to the teenagers, she's actually treating them as smart people and treating them as adults, which I think teenagers appreciated, but I also think it's why it helped crossover into the adult world.

On top of that, she created a really rich world, filled it with compelling characters, and told a great story with just a really truly amazing character, Katniss, at the center of it. I think one of the things about Katniss's character is that whether you're a guy or a girl, you can relate to her because she's so real and relatable. She's not a super hero, and she doesn't do the most rogue things. She's flawed and has real and relatable needs and wants and reacts to things. It sort of allows one to put themselves in her shoes, imagine yourself in her situation, and buy into the decisions she's making.

Kim Kardashian And Kanye West's Wedding Might Be Aired On TV

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are considering televising their wedding, even though her made-for-TV wedding to Kris Humphries in 2011 didn't have such a fairytale ending. Maybe the second time's a charm?

Us Weekly revealed Kardashian and West are discussing wedding plans and have been mulling over whether or not they will air it on TV.

"If they choose to film the wedding, it will be filmed by them, not a TV crew. And they'd sell it to a network," an insider told the magazine about the upcoming nuptials, which are set to be "magnificent" and "on the small side."

West has said he plans to marry Kardashian next summer, and fighter jets might be at the ceremony.

It's also quite possible the Kimye engagement will air on TV as well. After video of their proposal leaked, the couple sued the man behind the clip, YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley. The lawsuit revealed West had "allowed cameras to film the event for possible broadcast on E! Entertainment Television," according to Billboard.

"Exclusive rights, such as those sold by plaintiffs to publication of video of the event, are particularly valuable," the lawsuit stated. "If people violate these rights ... they are of substantially diminished value."

Alas, the 33-year-old beauty is no stranger to having cameras around for the most intimate moments of her life. Aside from the fact that her and her family's day-to-day has been documented since "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" first aired in 2007, Kardashian married Humphries in a two-part wedding special for E! back in 2011.

"Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event" drew in a total of 10.5 million viewers for the entertainment network, according to the New York Post. Their marriage lasted 72 days. The divorce was finalized in June.

Taylor Swift Stuns In Bodycon Dress At Weinstein Co. Holiday Party

Taylor Swift is known for her love of all things sweet and sparkly, which is why we are pleasantly surprised to see the singer embracing her sultry side.

The 23-year-old has increasingly been trading in her prom dress-inspired gowns of yesteryear for sleeker body-hugging dresses. Most recently, the maroon bodycon knee-length one she donned at the Weinstein Co. holiday party on Thursday night (Nov. 21) in West Hollywood.

Given that it's a sexier look than we usually see on Swift, we can't help but wonder: Was she trying to subtly remind her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles -- who was spotted out on a date with Kendall Jenner the previous day -- what he's missing?

The 'Girls' Season 3 Trailer Is Here And It's Just As 'Girls'-y As Expected

"Girls" is almost back!

HBO released the trailer of Lena Dunham's "Girls" Season 3, which features lots of great life advice ("It's really liberating to say 'no' to the sh-- you hate"), a country house outside the city and Shosh's Ugg boots.

Earlier this morning, Dunham posted a 15-second teaser trailer to Instagram (below), but the full-length version features Dunham twerking on a grave, so it's exponentially better.

Here are some key scenes that hint at what's to come:
  • Hannah and Adam get back together for at least one make out scene.

  • More Elijah!

  • Hannah's hair is way better post-hacksaw haircut.

  • Marnie still has no idea what's going on.

  • Ray wants Shosh back, duh.

  • The entire gang will definitely spend some time in a car and outside the city.

  • RIP Charlie.




"Girls" Season 3 premieres on Jan. 12, 2014 on HBO.

See The Celebs Who Flopped On This Week's Worst-Dressed List

November 22, 2013, 9:16 am

On this week's worst-dressed list, many stars wore ensembles that didn't suit them. Jennifer Lawrence looked out of place (and uncomfortable) in a completely sheer gown, while Naomi Judd's shiny red frock made her look matronly.

Meanwhile, the usually fashionable Kate Bosworth struggled in a look that washed her out, and L'Wren Scott's throwback outfit was an epic fail.

Check out our picks for worst-dressed of the week and let us know if you agree

Jennifer Lawrence

jlawq

This dress seems all wrong for the down-to-earth actress. The extremely fashion-forward gown doesn't jive with her style and we have to say, we are sick to death of the sheer trend. If her ensemble had been lined, it could have been a home run.

Claire Danes

danes

Red is a great color on the "Homeland" star, but the shape of the jacket is making her shoulders look much broader than they are. And that heavy eyeliner has got to go, it's too dark for her features.

Michelle Dockery

michelle

Sheer + Leather + Lace + Feathers + Vinyl appliqué = Too much.

L'Wren Scott

wren

This outfit is definitely referencing another era, we're just not sure which. The turtleneck, combined with the long coat and loose-fitting pants are slightly Victorian, but we're confused on how the metallic shoes and burgundy headband fit in.

Jena Malone

jena

The floor-length, embellished dress with the sheer paneling is a lot all at once. One wrong move in this outfit and there is a guaranteed wardrobe malfunction.

Toni Braxton

toni

The worst part of this ensemble has to be the shoes -- the red satin pumps cheapen the look. And the print is also a little off, it looks blurry or something.

Kate Bosworth

kate

Bosworth's dress looks like a straight jacket gone wrong. The straps all over the frock are confusing, while the combination of beige and white is washing her out.

Naomi Judd

judd

We understand that she's at holiday event, but dressing in theme isn't necessary. The top-to-bottom sheen on the dress, plus its silhouette, is aging the country singer.

Hayley Atwell

atwell

Atwell seems to be a little too full-busted to wear this dress. The feathers and embellishments are hardly covering what needs to be covered, while her red lipstick is too harsh for the delicate gown.

Zosia Mamet

zosia

There are numerous things that are wrong with this ensemble. The color is washing out the fair-skinned actress, while the fit seems to be off. We also wish the gown wasn't dragging on the floor -- it looks sloppy.

These Celebs Schooled Us On Style On This Week's Best-Dressed List

This week's best-dressed list was filled with stars who stuck to classics. Julia Louis-Dreyfus shone in a long black dress, while Amy Adams looked incredibly sexy in a simple, purple gown.

Though many looks left us in awe this week, our favorite look of the week belonged to Spanish actress Michelle Jenner. The brunette beauty stunned in a white Dior dress that fit her body like a glove.

Check out our picks for best-dressed and let us what you think.

Elizabeth Banks in Alexander McQueen

banks

Wearing feathers on the red carpet is often a challenge, as they can easily come off as costumey. But here, the "Catching Fire" star paired them with an elegant, long navy dress featuring a sleek halter neckline, which balanced out the playful plumage.

Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior

jlaw

The "Hunger Games" heroine's press tour has been rough (there have been a few worst-dressed moments), but she seems to have found her footing in this vanilla-colored strapless gown with a crystal embellishment. It's refined yet beautiful, and the slightly higher hemline in the front of the dress allows us to see her delicate strappy shoes. This is also the best neckline to show off her new short 'do.

Princess Charlene of Monaco

princess

Velvet dresses aren't just for the holiday season anymore. Though many people are scared of the fabric because it can easily look outdated, if it's worn in a modern silhouette (and with a fierce red lip), it can be lovely.

Amy Adams in Vivienne Westwood

amy adams

Sometimes less is more, as proven by Adams. The dress itself is rather simple, but the grape color really pops against her fair skin and makes this a standout look.

Eva Longoria in Victoria Beckham

eva

Longoria's dress is a very wearable take on the popular lingerie trend. The lacey straps on her gown are a subtle nod to the fad, but the actress kept the rest of her look classic, making this an ensemble that can stand the test of time.

Kiernan Shipka in Miu Miu

shipka

The 14-year-old "Mad Men" star looked cute and age-appropriate in this matching top and skirt combo. But what really put this ensemble over the top was her tri-colored pumps.

Naomie Harris in Burberry

naomie

Long, clean lines are what make this outfit so successful. Harris' pin straight hair and floor-length gown are making her look 10 feet tall.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus in David Meister

julia

This body skimming black dress is a great silhouette for the "Veep" star. It is hugging her in all the right places, while the keyhole embellishment is adding just the perfect amount of bling to her otherwise neutral look.

Michelle Jenner in Christian Dior

michelle jenner

This jewel-encrusted white dress is a real show-stopper. The interesting neckline is a nice departure from what we usually see on the red carpet, and her graphic pumps kick the look up a notch.

Kendall And Kylie Jenner Do The Safety Dance For Virgin America For Reasons We Can't Comprehend

There is officially no escaping the Kardashian-Jenner clan, not even at 30,000 feet.

For reasons we can't quite comprehend, Kendall and Kylie Jenner were chosen to team up with "American Idol" alum Todrick Hall for Virgin America's new in-flight safety video, which will be the first airline safety video set entirely to music and performed in dance, according to E! News.

The video states that Virgin American is holding auditions for future versions of their new safety video, but no word on whether winners would be working with the teenage reality stars.

It's not clear why the Jenner sisters were chosen for the campaign since they haven't exactly been setting examples of good safety down here on the ground, let alone in the air. Kendall has repeatedly come under fire for her dangerous driving practices, which include texting while driving and the even more alarming selfie-taking while on the road.

Beyonce's 'God Made You Beautiful' Leaks In Full

Beyonce, is that you? With new music? Hold on, this is a surreal moment.

Indeed, it's true, even if Queen Bey didn't intend it that way. "God Made You Beautiful" -- of which we'd heard a snippet during the trailer for the documentary "Life is But a Dream" -- leaked in full on Friday. The "Halo"-esque ode to Blue Ivy is part of a free giveaway in conjunction with "Dream" preorders, which makes a leak seem inevitable anyway.

Still, Beyonce fans can rejoice, considering the dearth of new material from the singer. Her next album was once rumored to be arriving this month, but in July, one of her reps denied that a release date had ever been set. Rumors flew that Beyonce had "scrapped" the album, but since then, we've learned that Sia wrote a song for it and that, according to Pharrell Williams, it's almost done and it's "crazy."

Like almost everything else surrounding Beyonce's forthcoming work, it's unclear whether "God Made You Beautiful" will appear on the album. We've heard other potential candidates for the tracklist, including "Bow Down," "Standing on the Sun" and "Epic" soundtrack entry "Rise Up." Listen to "Beautiful" below.

Still, despite the surprise nuptials, Francesca -- who was Miss Golden Globe 2013 -- was out in Hollywood Thursday night (Nov. 21) and she wasn't wearing a wedding ring.

George Jones Tribute Concert Features Stars Aplenty

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The George Jones tribute concert opened Friday night with Big & Rich rolling onto the stage on riding lawn mowers. Sam Moore serenaded Jones' widow, Nancy. And Megadeth rocked in memory of "King George."

Dozens of artists from all over the musical map participated in "Playin' Possum: The Final No Show," a marathon salute to Jones at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. The show was originally planned as Jones' final performance of his last tour, but the revered vocalist and Country Music Hall of Fame member passed away in April at 81. "During the funeral, we mourned George," host Keith Bilbery said. "Tonight we celebrate him."

Many of the performers who took the stage had already committed to perform with Jones, and dozens more signed on after his death. Country stars such as Garth Brooks and George Strait rubbed elbows backstage with fans who come from farther afield, including Kid Rock and Styx's Tommy Shaw.

Jones' rocking chair was placed stage right symbolically, and a sold-out crowd of 16,000 listened to stars play their favorites with the help of Jones' touring band and a teleprompter. The performances ranged from faithful renditions of hits like Alan Jackson's take on "He Stopped Loving Her Today," Strait and Martina McBride's "Grand Tour" to Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton's "I Barely Get By" and Moore's "Blues Man." But the show also featured unlikely teamups — like Megadeth and Jamey Johnson taking on "Wild Irish Rose."

"Heavy metal is all about rebellion, and George was definitely a rebel," Megadeth lead singer Dave Mustaine said.

Midway through the show, actor Jon Voight took the stage to lead the crowd in a moment meant to raise the spirits of stricken singer Randy Travis, who suffered a stroke recently and is in physical rehabilitation in Nashville, Tenn.

"Let's form a human chain of love for Randy," Voight said before leading the crowd in a cheer of, "We love you, Randy."

Many of the night's acts embraced Jones' love of laughter. Big Kenny and John Rich, for instance, fired up a pair of John Deere riding lawn mowers to open the show with "Love Bug," a tip of the cap to Jones' arrest while driving a lawn mower to the liquor store.

"No one was ever more generous to me or anyone he ever met than George Jones," said Brad Paisley, who sang "The Corvette Song." ''I know he's looking down and he's saying, 'Well, son, where's all the money going for this?'"

Lady Gaga: Taylor Kinney Is A 'Hidden Weirdo' And 'Extremely Strange'

Many people, including Ellen DeGeneres, assume Lady Gaga and her boyfriend Taylor Kinney are complete opposites. But, in reality, they are extremely compatible -- at least according to Gaga.

The "Applause" singer sat down for an interview with DeGeneres, airing Monday (Nov. 25), and revealed how and why she and Kinney fell in love.

"He's a hidden weirdo. He is extremely strange, actually, and we complement each other's weirdness," she told DeGeneres of the "Chicago Fire" star. "That's actually one of the first things he ever said to me. It's a Dr. Seuss quote, that you find in someone else a 'compatible weirdness.' And it was one of the first things he said to me."

Gaga, 27, and Kinney, 32, who've been dating since July 2011, first met on the set of the her "You and I" music video, in which she dons some pretty outlandish looks.

"I looked ridiculously crazy ... I mean why he found me attractive just completely moves me," she laughed, adding, "We were in the middle of this scene and I remember he kissed me and he wasn't scripted to kiss me and I was sort of like, 'Uh, was that real or was that fake?' And he just really didn't say anything. And that was fine by me."

"At the end of the day, he's my best friend," Gaga gushed, "and having your lover be your best friend -- I mean, it's the best thing ever."

Everybody now ... Awww.
