Thanks to her ubiquitous hit "Friday," Rebecca Black quickly went from YouTube sensation to starring in a Katy Perry video for that singer's equally ubiquitous hit "Last Friday Night." Now Black is ready to take her career to the next level.
She'll release a new song, "My Moment," on July 18, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The song was written by Brandon "Blue" Hamilton (Justin Bieber) and Quinton Tolbert and the production credits include Charlton Pettus.
The video is reportedly less kitschy than her "Friday" video (but perhaps just as literal). It will include footage of her attending red-carpet events and receiving an award at her junior high school, telling "the story of her sudden rise to fame," according to a statement. "It's a fairy tale story, but it happened in real life."
Black is also working on finishing up her five-track EP, which will be released in August. "We're thinking about it; we have so many different options right now. We're trying to decide which route we should take," Black told MTV News earlier this year about her career plans and following up her viral smash.
"I really like Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez; all just the fun upbeat stuff, teenager songs," she said of her musical inspirations. "My dream duet would be Justin Bieber. Even just doing something with Taylor Swift, or any of my favorite artists would be so cool."

Robert Pattinson Reveals Secret Behind 'Breaking Dawn' Sex Scene
'You have to have some tantric breathing and stuff,' he jokes to MTV News at Comic-Con.

SAN DIEGO — What kind of preparation went into the steamy love scenes in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part I"? Well, if Robert Pattinson is to be believed, there was very little.
"You just get lubed up and jump right into it!" he proclaimed to MTV News while backstage at San Diego Comic-Con shortly after making an appearance on a panel with his "Breaking Dawn" castmates and director Bill Condon. The group answered questions from Comic-Con attendees and treated them to footage from the upcoming flick, which is the second-to-last film adaptation in the epic saga.
Fan familiarity with Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight" novels means anticipation has been high for several elements of "Breaking Dawn," including a wedding, a birth and perhaps the most anticipated of all: the sex scenes. Smiling broadly, RPattz added: "You have to have some tantric breathing and stuff."
All joking aside, it was pretty clear once Pattinson continued talking that there was, in fact, a bit of planning put into the onscreen depiction of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan getting down to some romantic business. "Everyone always says it about sex scenes in movies — it's really awkward and blah, blah, blah — but it is!" he pointed out.
Ultimately, he likened it to a popular board game. "You're playing Twister," Pattinson deadpanned.
With "Twilight" mania still in full swing, it might be hard for moviegoers to imagine seeing the chemistry between Pattinson and Kristen Stewart re-created within the context of different characters in another story, but that doesn't mean Pattinson wouldn't be up for re-teaming with her in a non-"Twilight" film.
"I'd love to. Definitely," he told us without hesitation. "I don't know how audiences would respond to it or whatever, [but] I'd love to."

'Man Of Steel' Henry Cavill Reacts To Production Delay
At Comic-Con 2011, actor also tells MTV News about meeting Russell Crowe, his co-star in Zack Snyder's Superman reboot.

SAN DIEGO — Plenty of fans were surprised when news broke that the release date for Zack Snyder's Superman reboot, "Man of Steel," was pushed back six months to June 14, 2013 — but none more so than the would-be superhero himself, Henry Cavill.
"They broke it to me gently," he told MTV News on Saturday (July 23) at San Diego Comic-Con. "I was just told the other day. It's OK, it's nothing to do with me. That's stuff which I have no control over. I just focus on the character and do my job."
Speaking of stepping into the shoes of the iconic superhero — or tights, rather — Cavill said he's "prepared enough" but anxious to start production. "I'm really raring to go," he said. "It's exciting, humbling, and about time to get started."
Of course, Cavill couldn't divulge many details about the upcoming shoot or what his fellow cast members may or may not be doing in the film, but he did provide a delightful anecdote about his first meeting with co-star Russell Crowe (who is playing his father, Jor-El).
Cavill recounted one of the very early days in his acting career when he worked as an extra in a film Crowe was shooting at his school. "I walked up to Russell, shook his hand, and said 'I'm thinking of becoming an actor. What advice do you have?' He said to me ... No, I won't say what he said," Cavil said with a smile, indicating that his response might have included a swear word or two.
"Two days later, I received an Aussie rugby jersey, a [CD] and a signed picture from 'Gladiator' [with a note that read] 'Dear Henry, A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, Russell.' Cut to 11 years later, at what is the high point of my career, and here we are."
Check out everything we've got on "Man of Steel."

New Led Zeppelin On The Way? Jason Bonham Hints At 'Jam' Sessions With Jimmy Page -- But Not Robert Plant
Drummer admits he doesn't know what will come of 'new material.'
By Chris Harris

On Friday morning, mere hours before he was due to take the stage with classic rockers Foreigner at Detroit's GM Renaissance Center, drummer Jason Bonham — the son of late Led Zeppelin kitman John Bonham — told Jim Johnson and Lynne Woodison of local rock station 94.7 WCSX that he'd be an ex-member of Foreigner as of September 1. But that's not the only thing he said.
Much to the delight of Led Zeppelin fans everywhere, Bonham revealed that he's been meeting up with Led Zep guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones in recent months and that they've been "trying to do some new material and writing."
It was the first time since Led Zeppelin announced they would re-form for a single performance (which happened late last year at London's O2 Arena, in honor of the late Ahmet Ertegün, who signed the band to Atlantic Records in 1969) that anyone connected to the band has confirmed publicly that new music could be on the horizon for the iconic rockers. While the bandmembers have stopped short of definitively ruling out such a reunion, singer Robert Plant insisted in the wake of last year's show that he intended to focus on promoting and touring behind his critically lauded album with bluegrass artist Alison Krauss, Raising Sand.
Not that Bonham knows what — if anything — will happen with the new material he's been working on with Page (who collaborated with pop singer Leona Lewis on an uneven version of Zep's "Whole Lotta Love" at the Olympic closing ceremonies in Beijing on Sunday night) and Jones. He said he just shows up and takes his seat behind the kit.
"I've been over [to England] a couple of times," Bonham said. "I've been working with Jimmy and John Paul and trying to do ... some new material and some writing. I don't know what it will be, but it will be something. At the moment, all I know is I have the great pleasure to go and jam with the two guys and start work on some material. When I get there, I never ask any questions. If I get a phone call to go and play, I enjoy every moment of it. Whatever it ends up as, to ever get a chance to jam with two people like that, it is a phenomenal thing for me. It's my life. It's what I've dreamed about doing."
He said it's still too early to tell what will become of these "jam" sessions, but admitted that the "possibility of doing something is in the cards. I really felt it was in the cards from the moment we walked offstage at the O2." Bonham also explained that, before there could be a Led Zep LP, "lots of politics [would need to] get ironed out," but added that recording with Zep is "something I've always wanted to do."
Bonham noticeably didn't mention frontman Plant's name during the discussion. A spokesperson for Page's management had no comment on the matter, and a spokesperson for Jones' management could not be reached by press time.

Justin Bieber, Chris Brown Spotted In Studio Together
Pair has previously worked on two tracks together, 'Up' and 'Next to You.'

Pals Justin Bieber and Chris Brown were spotted heading into a studio together on Monday. According to Rap-Up.com, the singers met up at the Record Plant in Hollywood.
"Studio. #NEWMUSIC," Bieber tweeted early Tuesday morning, leading us to believe the session was for his next album.
Previously Bieber told MTV News that he wanted to focus less on features for his next album, but given the fact that Brown recently wrote a track for Joe Jonas, it's possible he may have just been assisting with some writing.
The rumored session marks the latest collaboration for the pair, who have appeared on two tracks together in the past. First, they remixed Bieber's slow jam "Up," then Bieber jumped on Brown's ballad "Next to You."
Bieber's producer, Danja, told Rap-Up.com that he's aiming for an "edgier" sound for the 17-year-old's next release. "What I'm creating for him I think is definitely a more mature sound. That's where he's headed now," he explained.
Earlier this year, Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, revealed some other names the pop star hopes to get into the studio with, including Drake, a collaboration Bieber hinted at last year.
Bieber is also reportedly working with Kanye West. "Him and Kanye [West] had a call today about a song they're trying to work on together," Braun said. "Kanye wants to produce a bunch of songs for the new album."

Report: Kristin Cavallari & Jay Cutler Call Off Engagement
Looking as if a long life of happiness together wasn't in the cards, Kristin Cavallari is reportedly no longer engaged to marry Jay Cutler.
With the pair having gotten engaged back in April while having been together for ten months, an insider tells People magazine that the reality star and her Chicago Bears QB beau have pulled the plug on their marital plans.
Of the news, the People source dished, "She was hanging out at a table with Nicky Hilton and Alessandra Ambrosio. She was telling friends how she called off the engagement."
The nixed engagement comes after Jay was alongside Kristin to offer support as she walked the runway during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week SWIM in Miami just last weekend.
Kris Jenner on Facelift: "I Needed a Little Freshening Up"
Earlier this summer, Kris Jenner let the Keeping Up with the Kardashians cameras follow her as she prepped to have a facelift in anticipation of daughter Kim Kardashian's wedding. Now, Jenner is showing off her updated look and has revealed what prompted her to go under the knife.
"You look gorgeous!" The Talk's cohost Sharon Osbourne, told the reality star, when Jenner appeared on Thursday's episode.
Thanking Osbourne for the compliments, Jenner, 55, admitted that she felt "brave" for having the surgery. "I needed a little freshening up for the wedding," she explained. "Just doing what a girl's gotta do!"
Earlier this month, Jenner's daughter Khloe Kardashian told the New York Daily News, "She looks amazing. They say you are supposed to have a lot of swelling for a week or so after, but I didn't notice."
Kim and fiance Kris Humphries are rumored to be tying the knot in an elaborate ceremony on Aug. 20, but there hasn't been any confirmation yet.
But whenever the highly anticipated nups take place, there are definitely two things we can count on: It will be a lavish spectacle, and the mother of the bride will look her best!

Lindsay Lohan's Probation Could Be Revoked
During a progress hearing in a Los Angeles court Thursday morning, Judge Stephanie Sautner had some harsh words for Lindsay Lohan, whom she believes is not taking her probation seriously enough.
Lindsay, who recently completed 35 days under house arrest, was also sentenced to extensive community service, a fine and counseling as punishment for violating her probation. And although the 25-year-old actress claimed to be "enjoying" her time working with homeless women on Skid Row, it turns out that she has done shockingly little so far: just 33 of the 360 hours she's on the hook for serving at the Downtown Women's Shelter. And that's not even counting the 120 hours she's supposed to log mopping floors at the L.A. morgue. And Lohan must complete all of that within one year!
"She can't be nickel and diming these hours," Judge Sautner warned at today's hearing. "Trust me, she is going to get held to that deadline. She is not going to get five more minutes."
Knowing the actress's habit of relying on excuses, the judge added that she would not take exception for Lohan's movie career. "I know there is a movie deal," Judge Sautner continued. "I will not take into consideration, 'Sorry, I'm at the Gotti movie.' I will not do it. She needs to complete the community service within the year."
Lohan's negligence of her community service hours was just one item on Judge Sautner's list of grievances. She also said that the actress hadn't paid her $3,900 in legal fees (although that matter has now reportedly been settled), and that the probation department had been unable to reach her by phone. (Lindsay has apparently been foisting them off onto her poor assistant, then refusing to call them back.) Even worse, Lindsay has apparently not enrolled in the court-mandated Shoplifter Avoidance Class or the required psychological counseling.
But just wait until you hear her excuse! As Lohan's lawyer explained to the exasperated judge, Lindsay was worried that her health insurance wouldn't cover the cost of counseling. (This despite the fact that Lindsay had worn $1,200 Christian Louboutin heels to the hearing.) And no, Judge Sautner didn't buy it, either.
"She needs to get into counseling, and I am going to give her 21 days to get into counseling," said Sautner, who threatened to revoke Lohan's probation and send her back to jail if she has not enrolled by August 11.
And as for that insurance problem? "She needs to find an individual therapist that takes a credit card," suggested Sautner, whom we're now convinced is the real-life version of one of those sassy Law & Order judges.
In Lohan's defense, father Michael Lohan tells Radar Online that he suspects Lindsay is deep in debt -- and he's offered to pay for health insurance costs. Or, you know, he could just auction Lindsay's shoe collection on eBay.

What High Schools Should Teach In Sex Ed
In high school, my sex ed was what you would call minimal. Since Texas firmly believes in abstinence-only education (which so doesn't work – my high school had a day care program for crying out loud!), I consider myself very lucky that I had a very open-minded mother who taught me about sex. And now that I'm in college, by far my favorite class this semester is my human sexuality class where my professor is not only incredibly funny, but very insightful. All of this along with some personal experience leads me to the conclusion that, well, sex ed of all kinds suck.
Here's what they should be teaching high schoolers in order to better prepare them. Read more…

The Lies We Tell Ourselves To Stay In Jobs We Hate
Not everyone can love, adore, brag endlessly to others about the amazingness of their job. It would be nice if we could, but to quote the great Mick Jagger: "You can't always get what you want." However, finding a job you love isn't a complete impossibility. Sometimes it's denial and the lies we tell ourselves that can stand the way of reaching that job. So snap out of it! Get with the program of moving on to a job that will satisfy you intellectually, mentally and financially. Remember: 'Impossible' is what other people tell themselves.
Here are a few things you don't want to tell yourself if you want to evolve past that job you hate so much. Read more…

Adele And Kanye Remix "Melt My Heart To Stone"
Adele's "Melt My Heart To Stone" is one of those breakup songs that just tugs at your heartstrings. But the new Kanye West remix really takes the edge off. It's not as good as his Katy Perry remix of "E.T.," probably because there's no lyrics like "Imma disrobe ya, then Imma probe ya." Keep up the remixes of female pop stars, Kanye! Maybe one day we'll get a Taylor Swift collab out of you. [DesiHits]

Beyonce's 4 Holds On To Billboard #1
Adele's 21 is right behind at #2.

Make it a double for Beyoncé. After debuting with the lowest first-week totals of her solo career last week with 4, the "Best Thing I Never Had" singer will make it two in a row at the top next week when her latest holds on to the #1 slot thanks to sales of 115,000.
Though Bey's sales were down a bracing 63 percent (with a two-week total just shy of 426,000), that is more than enough to hold off this year's chart queen, Adele, whose five-month-old smash, 21, holds steady at #2 thanks to another 79,000 units moved. That pushes her total to date to nearly 2.6 million, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan.
The ladies rule a female-heavy top 10 that features just one new entry, R&B singer Lloyd's King of Hearts, which sneaks in at #10 on sales of 26,000.
The rest of the top 10: Selena Gomez & the Scene, When the Sun Goes Down (#3, 44,000), Jason Aldean, My Kinda Party (#4, 42,000), Bad Meets Evil, Hell: The Sequel (#5, 35,000), Jackie Evancho, Dream With Me (#6, 34,000), Jill Scott, Light of the Sun (#7, 32,000), Lady Gaga, Born This Way (#8, 30,000) and Big Sean, Finally Famous (#9, 27,000).
It was an otherwise quiet week for new releases, with most of the top 40 suffering double-digit drops in sales. Among those losing some significant business: Bon Iver, whose Bon Iver is down 39 percent to 24,000, "American Idol" winner Scott McCreery, whose digital EP slips nine spots in its second week as sales tanked by 65 percent, fellow "Idol" champ David Cook, whose second album, This Loud Morning, drops 19 slots to #26 in its second go-round as business fell by 74 percent, and this year's "Idol" runner-up, Lauren Alaina, whose EP shed 47 percent of last week's figures to land at #35.
It seems that few of Limp Bizkit's fans have hung around for their long-promised comeback album, Gold Cobra, as sales took a nosedive in week two. The LP falls 40 slots to #56 as sales tailed off by 72 percent (8,000). Beyoncé has to settle for second-best on the iTunes albums chart, as Adele triumphs, pushing Bey to #2, followed by Bad Meets Evil, Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More, Bon Iver, Big Sean, We the Kings' Sunshine State of Mind, Gomez, Aldean and Gaga.
You can tell it's summer on the iTunes singles chart, as party starters LMFAO take the pole position with "Party Rock Anthem," which pushes Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" to #2, followed by Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass," Pitbull's "Give Me Everything," OneRepublic's "Good Life" and Adele's monster single, "Rolling in the Deep." At #7 is Hot Chelle Rae's "Tonight Tonight," and then Lil Wayne's "How to Love," Aldean's "Dirt Road Anthem" and Gaga's "The Edge of Glory."
Beyoncé's chart reign is likely to end next week as a raft of new titles hits shelves. They include the hyped latest from "The Voice" breakout hosting star Blake Shelton, as well as new albums from Incubus, Colbie Caillat, Chris Young and Ashton Shepherd.

10 Names For Robert Pattinson's Truly Stupid New Haircut
I had two thoughts when I first saw Robert Pattinson's new haircut. First, "Wow, he's still really hot." Second, "But f**k that is a stupid haircut. It looks like he left the barber midway through getting his head shaved. There's no rhyme or reason to it—from all angles, it looks ridiculous." Turns out, there is a reason for this totally wack look! Robert is filming an upcoming movie called "Cosmopolis," directed by David Cronenberg based on the Don DeLillo novel, in which he plays "a young man who makes an odyssey across Manhattan in order to get a haircut." And then leaves halfway through? Someone who's read the book—remember, I don't read Don DeLillo—please explain! [Us Weekly]
In the meantime, I decided to come up with some names for Robert's new haircut, since his popularity suggests it could be the new "Rachel."
