Mick Jagger Working on Solo Album?
So long as you choose not to look too long at his face, you may very well suspect that Mick Jagger has found the Fountain of Youth. Sure, he’s one of those rock stars whose had to make a living singing his old songs (because most “new” ones just can’t compare), but to his credit, [...]

Charlie Sheen Denies Anti-Semitic Text and Abuse Claims
Charlie Sheen may think he's "winning" -- but at the moment, he seems to be losing the custody fight against estranged wife Brooke Mueller. On Tuesday night, Mueller summoned police to Sheen's home to remove their twin 23-month-old sons, Bob and Max. Early on Wednesday morning, Sheen, 45, appeared on the Today show to air his side of the story. Watch the interview below:
The police action occurred after 20/20 aired a behind-the-scenes look at Sheen's home, including an interview with the two young live-in girlfriends ("the goddesses") who are helping to care for the twins. Prior to taking back her sons, Mueller, 33, filed a restraining order against Sheen, saying in a statement that she was "very concerned that he is currently insane" and "in great fear that he will find me and attack me," as well fearing for her Bob and Max's safety. But Sheen says he never threatened Mueller, and that the children are safer with him than her.
"I invite anybody at this point to come in and just observe — a court-appointed monitor, somebody from her legal team, whether it’s her, or it’s you with a camera," Sheen said on Today. "There’s nothing to hide -- there’s nothing but love or compassion. It’s 100,000 times better than what’s going to be offered in her house."
Mueller has also accused Sheen of knocking her out and once sending an anti-Semitic text message referring to his manager Mark Burg as a "stoopid Jew pig."
In a statement released to People, Sheen insists: "I would never, ever say that about my dear friend Mark. (Mueller) is trying to create discord. I caught her on my phone a year ago texting. She was trying to cause discord among my immediate family. I caught her red-handed and she confessed." He adds: "This is no different. Natty and Rachel (aka "the goddesses") observed her on several occasions (recently) with my unlocked phone that I should never have left out."
Mueller also claims that Sheen threatened her on Tuesday night by saying: "I will cut off your head, put it in a box and send it to your mom." Sheen calls all of Mueller's accusations a "friggin' lie."
"I believe his rage is the result of an intense mental issue, rather than simply a reaction to substance abuse," says Mueller's statement.
However, Mueller also admits that she has "struggled with my own sobriety issues" since her visit to rehab last winter. She says that she used drugs last week with one of Sheen's girlfriends while in the Bahamas, and has now re-entered day treatment.
"I'd like to see her drug tests right now," Sheen said in response. "I'd go head-to-head with her on that."
As for the custody battle, Sheen says he's not giving up. "This is now the challenge I claimed to be looking for," the Two and a Half Men star declared, "and I am more than willing to take on this task."

Christopher Nolan Calls 'Dark Knight Rises' His Last Batman Film
'We're very much excited about really finishing a trilogy and giving a conclusion to our story,' filmmaker says on Oscars red carpet.

Over nearly 70 years as the World's Greatest Detective, Batman has followed clues, pursued investigations and pounded out confessions from a diverse rogues' gallery as tight-lipped and unresponsive as they come. But never mind the Joker or the Penguin: If the Dark Knight wanted a real challenge, he should try getting information from his director, Christopher Nolan.
The ever-reserved Nolan was predictably and amusingly coy when asked about "The Dark Knight Rises" on the red carpet at the Academy Awards, where the 40-year-old was a double nominee in the categories of Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay for "Inception."
We asked Nolan what the theme of "The Dark Knight Rises" would be, with fear such a major subtext in "Batman Begins" and escalation in "The Dark Knight." "Wow, that's a tricky one. I actually don't have an answer for you today," Nolan smiled, having already finished the script for the film, which is set to begin shooting in a few months. "I'm gonna have to really think about that."
When asked about the casting choices of Thomas Hardy for Bane and Anne Hathaway for Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman, Nolan replied, "Once you see the film in 2012, you will completely understand why they were the perfect choice for these characters."
On one note, however, Nolan was incredibly emphatic: This will be his last Batman film.
"Yes," he said when asked if he was done with the franchise after "The Dark Knight Rises." "We're very much excited about really finishing a trilogy and giving a conclusion to our story. And that's what we're doing."
Starring a large cast led by newly minted Oscar-winner Christian Bale, "The Dark Knight Rises" is scheduled to open on July 20, 2012.

'Beastly' Star Vanessa Hudgens Talks Falling For Bad Boys
'A lot of girls look up to guys who embody that,' she tells MTV News of her character's questionable taste in guys.

As we've learned from promos and teaser trailers for "Beastly," the movie is a modern take on the classic fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast."
Co-starring Vanessa Hudgens and "I Am Number Four" leading man Alex Pettyfer, the basic premise is the same, but there's a key difference in this long-delayed adaptation. In "Beastly," Hudgens' character, Lindy, is a high-schooler operating on the outskirts of the cool crowd when she develops an attraction to Pettyfer's bad boy, Kyle, who has yet to have his movie-star looks marred by any spells.
When MTV News caught up with the "High School Musical" star recently, we asked what she thought about her character's attraction to the proverbial bad boy.
"I feel like a lot of girls think it's easier to go under the radar, to not really stand up and let their true selves be known," Hudgens explained about Lindy's desire to stay in the background. "And I feel like when that happens, a lot of girls look up to guys who embody that, who are just truly out there and, of course, my character falls for that, as a lot of other girls would," she said.
Hudgens went on to say that while the "opposites attract" idea initially draws Lindy to the school's most popular guy, she senses that there's more to him and eventually connects to Kyle's softer side.
"Slowly, she falls in love with him, not for his appearance, which I think is the most beautiful part of it," she said.
"Beastly" hits theaters on Friday.

Britney Spears 'Very Hands-On' For Femme Fatale, Rodney Jerkins Says
'She had a lot of ideas for me,' producer says of pop star's new album.

Britney Spears is a month away from the release of Femme Fatale, and nearly every day, she's teasing fans with samples of some of the songs on the album, including the latest, her song with will.i.am, "The Big Fat Bass." Now, longtime collaborator Rodney Jerkins is opening up about hitting the studio with Spears.
"Britney's always great to work with. I've worked with Britney for 12, 13 years now," he told MTV News. "It's always great to work with someone when you work with someone time and time again; it's always great, and it always gets better. And just to see her evolve as an artist, it's an amazing, amazing thing."
Jerkins worked with Spears in the past on "Overprotected (Darkchild Remix)" and "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" in the early 2000s, as well as her leaked version of Lady Gaga's "Telephone," when she was recording Circus.
This time around, he said Spears knows exactly what she wants musically on the album. "She was very hands-on. She had a lot of ideas for me," he said. "She's great. She gets it. She is a top-notch veteran pro at this now."
She might be getting some help from Jerkins, but Dr. Luke and Max Martin are executive-producing the album, and Jerkins had nothing but the best to say about the production team. "I never spoke to them, [but] those guys are just great, and the stuff that they've been doing is just really, really great stuff," he said. "I'm sure with their hands on it, it's great."
Spears herself has described the album as "moody, edgy pop with A LOT of energy," hinting that many of the songs will be uptempo, and Jerkins noted that the songs he's been writing for her have certainly fit that label. "I know the songs that I do are uptempo," he said. "The stuff I've done, I think, will kind of shock people. I got a chance to go out my box a little bit too. She's great. Britney's just awesome."
