Usher 'Got A Good Laugh' From Fan Kicking Him In The Face
'It looked worse than it actually was,' the 'OMG' singer laughs about accidental blow during concert serenade.

Usher's club-rattling jam "OMG" may "kill it every night" according to tourmate Miguel, but when the Atlanta crooner hit Madison Square Garden earlier this week, he was almost taken out by a clumsy fan.
When the singer touched down in New York on Monday, he indulged a super amped fan's fantasy by pulling her onstage for an intimate flirty serenade of "Trading Places." As Usher and the concertgoer got cozy on a recliner, she swiveled around to face the crooner — knocking him squarely in his mug with her foot. She began apologizing profusely as Usher briefly paused to collect himself. But the superstar took the strike in stride, quipping, "We play rough in the bed. We kick each other in the face and all type of good stuff."
Although Usher brushed off the blow, the moment did make an impression on him.
"In all my years, this is one of the most interesting experiences. I got a kick out of it!" he told Us Weekly. The singer assured fans that the knock wasn't that bad. "It looked worse than it actually was. My audience and I got a good laugh."
As for the fan, the "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love" star maintained everything is all good on that front too. "Wherever you are baby, don't feel bad," Usher said. "No hard feelings."
As Miguel has noted, Usher isn't one dwell on drama, whether it's cranking out another hit album or weathering an unexpected hit from a fan.
"He's such a tremendous example of perseverance and determination," Miguel recently told MTV News. "I was there throughout this album, so I've seen the adversity that he's had to overcome perception-wise."
What do you think of Usher's response to getting knocked in the head by a fan? Tell us in the comments!

Michael Jackson Fans Celebrate Michael's Release With DJ Cassidy
'It was always my dream to DJ for Michael Jackson,' Cassidy says at album-release party Monday night.

NEW YORK — Many a Michael Jackson fan lined up outside of the Roseland Ballroom on Monday night to celebrate the release of the King of Pop's posthumous Michael album. Dozens of dancers and fans filled the ballroom's floor, decked out in costumes inspired by MJ's iconic looks from throughout his esteem career. One of those fans also happened to be the evening's master of ceremonies, DJ Cassidy.
"I'm here to make the fans dance," he told MTV News. "I think that's why Michael essentially made the music. He wanted to make people dance. He wanted to make people feel the emotion he felt, and I'm here to do just that. I'm here to help the fans in the celebration of the king."
Dressed in a leather suit with a pink shirt and socks, a red bowtie and shell-top Adidas, Cassidy said that he's been a fan of Jackson for as long as he can remember. The late singer has been his inspiration in anything artistic in his life, from music to fashion.
"So much of my fashion comes from Michael," Cassidy explained. "So much of how I play music comes from how he formed his songs, how he created his sound that really inspired the way that I DJ. And really, it inspired me to want to be a DJ, to want to make people dance.
"So, when I became a DJ at the age of 10, it was always my dream to DJ for Michael Jackson," he added. "Tonight's just a small way for me to really celebrate his music."
The party's guests also included producers Teddy Riley, Eddie Cascio and Neff U, who each had a hand in producing Michael's tracks. But before he began to spin for the night, Cassidy was thinking back to the classics, particularly his favorite party song, 1979's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough."
"You can be anywhere in the world, any city, any small town, any type of crowd, black, white, old, young, poor, rich, at any type of venue," he said. "They could be wanting to hear house music, hip-hop music, anything in between, but 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough' will turn that party out."

Michael Jackson Album-Cover Artist Explains Hidden Meanings In His Work
Kadir Nelson leads MTV News through his tribute to the King of Pop.
By James Montgomery

It is a testament to the legendary life of Michael Jackson that no matter how big a canvas artist Kadir Nelson used to tell MJ's story — and at 9 feet wide and 4.5 feet tall, he used a pretty big one — he kept running out of room. It seems that Jackson's reign as the King of Pop was just too lengthy, his list of achievements too large and his life too all-encompassing to be summed up in even the most massive of murals.
"Michael's life was so huge I couldn't get it all into the painting," Nelson told MTV News. "So I would take images from throughout his life that were milestones ... images that would resonate with his fans. And even doing that was a challenge."
Still, Nelson gave it his best effort, and the result was "The King of Pop," his epic tribute to Jackson's life, which struck such a chord with the late icon's estate (and his label, Sony Music) that it was chosen as the cover for the just-released Michael album. But what fans see on that album is just a fraction of Nelson's original work.
" 'The King of Pop' is the life story of Michael Jackson, so what you see on the album cover is the centerpiece of the mural; Michael is wearing his famous bejeweled glove, and he's wearing a golden suit of armor, and he has this collar around his neck, like what you would see in a French painting of King Philip," Nelson explained. "The theme for this painting is 'royalty' and 'pop,' because Michael was the King of Pop. So you have Michael being crowned by two Cupids, he has his birthstones in his crown. He's wearing a soft, velvet drapery over his armor, because Michael had a very soft heart. Also, his hand is placed over his heart, because he had a big heart, and he put that big heart into everything he did."
And radiating from that royal image is Jackson's life story, which begins with images of his childhood in Gary, Indiana, extends upward to a gallery of his musical influences (Barry Gordy, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye, to name just a few), and then explodes with the launch of his solo career, starting with his star-making turn at the "Motown 25" television special (where he unveiled his "moonwalk" dance) and rolling right along to his Thriller heyday. There are also portions of the painting dedicated to his Bad, Dangerous and HIStory albums, and images of his children, the omnipresent media that followed him everywhere, and the women with whom he shared close relationships (Liz Taylor, Lisa Marie Presley and Madonna).
There are also, as Nelson explained, coded images hidden throughout the painting, everything from bubbles (blown by his pet chimpanzee, of course), an apple (because, as the painter explained, "kids would call [Jackson] 'Applehead' on his Neverland Ranch"), Peter Pan soaring off into the Northern Lights (meant to symbolize Jackson's ascension after his death) and, perhaps the most striking image of all, a golden throne atop a mountain: Jackson's throne, never to be occupied again.
"It's empty," Nelson explained, "because no one will ever sit in it now that he's gone."

Deadmau5 Brings Dance Music To The 'Masses,' Wolfgang Gartner Says
'He has a major role in the younger generation to this music,' producer/DJ tells MTV News of his collaborator.
By Adam Stewart

It's no secret that 2010 was a pivotal year for electronic dance music here in the States. With deadmau5 and Swedish House Mafia becoming household names, the genre's momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Using a conduit of collaboration, artists such as deadmau5 (a.k.a. Joel Zimmerman) have paired up with various underground acts to further the rapid expansion of the genre.
Perhaps one of the most notable movers and shakers of the year is now-Grammy-Award-nominated producer and DJ Wolfgang Gartner, who recently sat down to chat with MTV News about deadmau5 and dance music's rise to the top.
"He has a major role in the younger generation to this music," Gartner says, "but there have been certain artists that have been instrumental in helping it cross over and reach the mainstream — which I think is a good thing. I think rap artists using dance beats is a great thing. I think it just brings more people towards this music that we all love."
Thanks to several key moments, such as deadmau5 taking the helm as house DJ (well, technically "House Artist") for the 2010 VMAs, dance music has been thrown into the forefront of America's youth, a key demographic for any genre.
"Everybody knows who he is now and he's kind of exposing the masses to dance music. These little five-, six- and seven-year-old kids latch on to this 'mau5head' logo — they get into the music and he's bringing this tiny young generation into this music that probably wouldn't be exposed to it."
Gartner certainly doesn't mind the exposure either. Unless you were living under a rock for the past six months, you probably heard one of this past summer's hottest anthems, "Animal Rights," a collaborative effort brought forth by deadmau5 and Gartner.
"It was interesting because I kind of had a preconceived notion about how he would be to work [with]," said Gartner. "I think our sounds are really similar, so I figured he would work in a similar way to me, but the way that he writes music is actually completely different to me. But he achieves kind of the same sound through a completely different process."
Recorded in deadmau5's favorite Los Angeles studio — that would be rocker Tommy Lee's House — "Animal Rights" is a thumping progressive house anthem that melds Wolfgang's unmistakable harmonics and funk riffs with the driving bass line and wobbly synths that make deadmau5 one of the unique forces in the dance music world.
"[Deadmau5] writes these rich complex chord progressions and he does it by drawing these little bars on a grid, which is just amazing that you can do that and get that result," Gartner goes on to say. "It just proves you don't have to be able to play keyboards to write amazing music."
The two sound pioneers never cease to stop pushing the limits on what they are able to produce. Using drastically difference production approaches, deadmau5 and Gartner had the ability to play off each other's strengths while recording the track.
"I'd say the biggest thing is that I play everything in on a keyboard, like even my drums," says Gartner. "I play everything in live and he draws it in with notes on a mouse, which blew me away because his music is very musical."
What do you think 2011 will hold for deadmau5 and Gartner? Let us know in the comments below!

Usher's 'OMG' Gets Celeb Endorsement As Song Of The Year
'It's undeniable,' Travie McCoy says of the track that topped MTV News' Top 25 Songs of 2010.

2010 had some great jams, and all week, MTV News has been counting down some of its best. Everything from Lady Gaga's "Telephone" and Rick Ross' "B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast)" to two of Kanye's West's killer My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy tracks, "Power" and "Runaway," made the top 10. But it was Usher's bombastic party jam "OMG" that rose to the top and came in at #1.
So what made that song such a party anthem? "Oh my God! That's exactly what I would say! Oh my God!" Pauly D joked about 2010's top party jam. "Dope, dope track. I love playing it. The crowd goes crazy when I play it. Usher's the man!"
Travie McCoy added: "It's a great song. It's undeniable, you know what I mean?"
"Dancing With the Stars" pro Lacey Schwimmer admitted that "OMG" was the track that got dancers, both professional and amateur, on the dance floor. "You guys got a great dance anthem," she said. "So be prepared for people who do not know how to dance just going to town!"
Producer Alex Da Kid gave props to will.i.am for the song's epic beat. "I love 'OMG.' I think it's definitely something different for Usher," he said. "And it still has all the dance performance elements Usher's known for, but it's something slightly different and done in a will.i.am kind of way, and it's different and that's why it connected to so many different people. It's a great song."
Celebrities also weighed in on their favorite jams of 2010, choosing everything from Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" to B.o.B and Hayley Williams' "Airplanes."

Become a millionaire, then watch the Money Drop!
Thanks to game shows like Survivor and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, winning a million bucks has become a reality for a lucky few. Now, thanks to Fox?s game show Million Dollar Money Drop, that dream of being a millionaire has come true for a slew of lucky couples ? even if only for a few fleeting moments. Confused? Here?s the drill. At the beginning of each game every couple is presented with $1 million ? in cash. They then must answer a multiple-choice question and place an amount of cash on the answer they believe is right. Bet it all on one answer, or hedge your bets over the three remaining answers ? the only catch is you must bet it all at once. Get it right, keep your money, get it wrong and the money drop will take what you bet. Sure it sounds easy, but the pop culture-themed questions are tricky, and the suspense can get unbearable.
?This has been ridiculous fun,? show host Kevin Pollak tells In Touch. ?When they told me what the game was I was extremely excited. And when I heard the kind of success it?s had in like Germany, where 60 percent of that country was tuning in, those are huge numbers.?
Kevin Pollak?s name might be synonymous with movies like the Usual Suspects and Casino, so people might find it strange he?s adding ?game-show host? to his credits. According to the acclaimed actor, it?s all part of his progression. ?This is something I never thought I would do, yet here I am,? he laughs. ?When I walked onto a movie set for the first time as an actor, with no formal training, I had no idea where acting came from. Now I have diversified into another bizarre direction that has people wondering. But to be honest, 1 percent of the country is making a living doing something they love, so I feel honored.?
Another thing Kevin loves about his new gig is getting to eye $1 million at the start of each game. ?I had never seen a million dollars cash before starting this show,? he reveals. ?It is extraordinary, absolutely bizarre and fantastic, all at the same time.? And while Kevin is a self-confessed gambler, he?s not lining up to play Money Drop anytime soon. ?I would do horribly on the show as they don?t give me the questions and answers ahead of time,? he laughs. ?So I am actually playing along with the contestants and in my mind I have lost it all ? it?s terrible.?
Million Dollar Money Drop will air for four consecutive nights on Fox, beginning Monday, December 20 at 8 p.m. EST.

Teaser For Michael Jackson's 'Hold My Hand' Video Released
A 30-second preview of MJ's duet with Akon promises epic images.

It's hard enough to finish a song by a noted perfectionist such as Michael Jackson after the singer's death, but the challenge of filming a video for the first posthumous single from the most celebrated video maker in music history has got to be even more daunting.
So MJ fans must have been eager to check out a 30-second teaser of the clip for the Akon collaboration "Hold My Hand," that was posted on Jackson's website over the weekend, just over a week before the King of Pop's first posthumous studio album, Michael, is slated to hit stores.
The quick-cut preview opens with Jackson, bathed in a spotlight on stage and dressed in a black leather jacket, black pants and a gold lame unitard, blowing a kiss to unseen fans and spreading his arms wide. With the song's swelling, cinematic strings and Jackson and Akon's vibrant vocals on the chorus pumping behind, we then see a succession of images, including a mother holding a smiling baby, MJ on stage during his prime, a lit-up Ferris wheel, a grade-school girl stretching her arms toward the sun, a baby in a diaper learning how to walk and the track's title graffitied on a cement wall.
The action then moves inside to a dark venue, as a blinding light emerges in the distance from the point of view of an ecstatic, clapping crowd. It quickly becomes clear that the audience is awaiting Jackson's arrival on stage, as his unmistakable profile appears in shadow on the curtain. More quick cuts reveal a b-girl in a gold lame top busting a few moves while swinging chains and a child MJ impersonator shuffling his feet amid classic images of Jackson on stage at various points in his career.
Those clips are then interspersed with shots of a huge chorus singing the song's refrain while waving their arms in the air on a set that looks like a reservoir or a dam. The teaser ends with a montage of children's hands and a close-up of a grand piano cued to the tune's haunting keyboard break.
The duet with Akon was recorded in 2007 and, as a message on MJ's site points out, "a handwritten note from Michael belonging to his estate indicated his desire that 'Hold My Hand' be the first single on his next project."
After an unfinished version leaked in 2008, Akon recently went back into the studio to complete production on the track.

MTV News has been counting down the top five men and women who've had the biggest 2010, honoring the likes of Lil Wayne, Drake, Justin Bieber and Eminem on the men's side, and on the ladies' side Nicki Minaj, Snooki, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry made the cut. Then on Friday (December 17), we announced the prestigious #1s: Lady Gaga and Kanye West.
But we know you don't just want to take our word for it, so we asked some of your favorite celebrities who they thought the man and woman of 2010 were.
Woman of 2010
Katy Perry (our #2) got a few votes, and the Situation went for Taylor Swift (our #3). Michael Bublé chose Pink; while Pauly D said the year was all about Kim Kardashian.
NKOTB's Joey McIntyre got all political and suggested, "Hillary Clinton, man. She's in a load of trouble with all those leaks."
Jay Sean made a case for his pal Nicki Minaj (our pick for #5), saying, "I think it had to be Nicki's year. She had a great, great year."
But in the end most agreed that Gaga ruled 2010.
"Woman would have to be Lady Gaga," Taio Cruz said. "I'm sure that's a unanimous decision."
Mark Hoppus added, "Lady Gaga just cause you can't stop talking about her."
Man of 2010
Mark Hoppus also agreed with our pick for Man of the Year, showing some love for Kanye West. But our unofficial celebrity poll remained inconclusive in this category. Paramore's Hayley Williams chose Conan O'Brien. Drake and Eminem got a couple of co-signs, as did Justin Bieber, Russell Brand.
"I'd probably vote for myself," B.o.B not-so-humbly shared. "Bob!"
Usher (whose "OMG" is MTV News' #1 Song of the Year) got some love from Nelly and Jesse McCartney, who shared, "Because there were a lot of redemptive qualities to this album."
But leave it to Rosie O'Donnell to make a case for the one and only Stefani Germanotta as Man of the Year. "Lady Gaga," she said. "Yes, indeed and she'll kick your ass if you say she doesn't deserve it [and] rightly so."
Head over to the Newsroom blog to vote in our Man and Woman of the Year polls, and give us your write-in votes in the comments!

Cameron Diaz & Alex Rodriguez: More Mexico Lovin'
Continuing along with their south of the border getaway, Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez were all about relaxation in Mexico on Monday (December 20).
The white bikini-clad "There's Something About Mary" actress and her baseballer beau were joined by the kiddies as they once again lounged by the pool with a group of loved ones.
And while Miss Diaz was hands-on with A-Rod's youngsters, she's previously stated that it may be some time before she has any children of her own.
She told Cosmo last year, "I think women are afraid to say that they don't want children because they're going to get shunned. And honestly? We don't need any more kids. We have enough people on this planet."
But that doesn't mean Cam has ruled out the idea, as she added, "I never say never. I don't know what's going to happen. I could end up adopting half a dozen kids, or I could end up being the next 'Octomom.'"

Survivor: Nicaragua winner Fabio: ?It felt ecstatic!?
Up until the bitter end, it was anyone?s guess who?d take home the title of Sole Survivor Nicaragua last night, as the show?s finale delivered one of the closest in Survivor history. With Dan eliminated early in the night, Holly, Chase, Sash and Fabio became the final four to compete in the immunity challenge that would secure a place in the final three. With Fabio winning (marking his third immunity win in a row), it was a scramble back at camp with the others pleading not to be the one sent home.
Knowing that Sash was disliked by the majority of the jury, and Chase?s flip-flopping between alliances had alienated other jury members, it was decided Holly was the bigger threat and she?d be sent home, leaving the guys to face the jury of nine who had made it pretty clear that Sash may not even be in the running. After the votes were revealed, Fabio (a.k.a Jud) earned five votes to Chase?s four and became a million dollars richer. ?It felt ecstatic,? Fabio tells In Touch after hearing his name called as the winner. ?I knew Chase wanted to play with his heart and not lie, but I actually did it and that felt so good.?
?I love him,? runner-up Chase tells In Touch. ?He is an awesome guy and while I wished I could have beaten him? as long as he is smart with his money and looks after his mom, that is all I?m really thinking about.? With a million dollars in his pocket, 21-year-old Jud ?Fabio? Birza is looking forward to finishing arts college, doing some traveling, buying a car and enjoying life. Runner-up Chase Rice is about to launch his country music career while third-placer ?Sash? Lenahan (who has gained back the 40 pounds he lost while doing the show) is back to selling real estate in Manhattan.

The ?Keeping Up With the Kardashians? babe dressed in black and used her hood to protect her dark locks from the rain as she made her way in and out of the fitness facility.
Poking fun at herself, the brunette bombshell wrote on her Twitter page, ?Ew I forgot to wear deodorant to the gym today! LOL.?
Fresh from a trip to South Africa, Kim and sister Khloe arrived back in the US yesterday (December 19) with Kim tweeting, ?Home sweet home!? after they landed at LAX.

Survivor: Nicaragua?s Jane: ?Screw you! Y?all are not eating and can go hungry?
Survivor: Nicaragua?s Jane: ?Screw you! Y?all are not eating and can go hungry? No one can say 56-year-old Jane Bright, of Jackson Springs, N.C., did not play her hardest when it comes to the game of Survivor. Jane survived 36 days in some of the harshest elements in Survivor history and never once did we hear her complain. In fact, the only thing she is complaining about now is the faith she placed in fellow country boy Chase, whom she trusted implicitly, only to be blindsided on last night?s episode when she was voted out.After bonding with Chase early in the game, Jane believed it would be smooth sailing to the finale at Chase?s side. But when Fabio (Jud), who had just won immunity at a challenge, suggested Jane be voted out, no matter how uncomfortable with the decision, Chase went along with his tribe mates.
Even though Chase did not lie when Jane confronted him about the choice to vote her out, she still harbors a grudge. ?I am still mad at Chase,? Jane tells In Touch. ?My only regret is putting as much faith in him as I did. I believed him being a N.C. boy that he?d be true to his word, as most Southern men are. He is not. If he is like that in real life then heaven help him as he has a hard road ahead.?
Jane may have been the 13th person voted out and the seventh member of the jury, but viewers are thanking her for going out with a bang. In one of the season?s most shocking moves, fiery Jane extinguished the campfire that she?d made her life?s mission to tend while in the elements. ?By God, I started it, I?ll put it out,? she exploded as she unleashed a bucket of water on its flames. ?I took Chase aside and said, ?By gosh if y?all are voting me out tonight, I am leaving with a bang and if you try to stop me you?ll regret it,? admits Jane, who does not regret her decision and reveals the others did not escape her wrath either. ?I was like screw you! Y?all are not eating and can go hungry.?
