      Bruckheimer Inks Vid Game Deal With MTV

      (Newser) - When MTV heard that Jerry Bruckheimer wanted to make video games, the company jumped to sign him. Sure, Bruckheimer’s never made a video game before, but he doesn’t think it’ll be too different from making Pirates of the Caribbean or "CSI." “Get creative talent together and do something interesting,” he says. “It’s no different than what we did with movies.” More »

      MTV Banks on Vice Video

      (Newser) - MTV has put its hippest foot forward with VBS.tv, the online video channel run by Vice magazine’s editors. The web presence, originally pitched as “‘60 Minutes’ meets ‘Jackass,’” is a toehold in youth web programming, the Times reports. “Our aesthetic is raw,” said a VBS editor. “If they’re hung over, it’s part of the shoot.” More »

      Hysterical 'Leave Brit Alone!' Rocks YouTube

      (Newser) - If it's a performance, it's better than Britney's. More than 2.8 million viewers have pored over an out-of-control rant by YouTuber "Chris Crocker" who smears his eyeliner as he sobs and screams at the "bastards" who aren't cutting Spears slack for the "hard time" she's going through, especially since critics slammed her zoned-out "comeback" performance at the MTV video music awards.

      Oops!...She Flubbed It Again

      (Newser) - Britney Spears' attempt to return to pop at last night's MTV VMAs may have fizzled, drawing boos from critics, bloggers and even fellow performers. Her fractional lip-synching to “Give Me More” left audiences unconvinced, while lethargic dancing and her added weight got bad reviews—except from gossip columnist Perez Hilton, who reveled in it. “It was so bad. It was painful. It was embarrassing. And I loved it!" More »
