Jay-Z sure knows how to make dreams come true. Through the years, Hov has provided platforms for quite a few key artists like Kanye West and Rihanna ? maybe you’ve heard of ‘em. He has also lent a hand to a few less notables ? Rell, anyone? ? but when it comes to Roc Nation’s new pop starlet Rita Ora, Hova has high hopes.

“She’s one of the people that, if you were in the position, you say, ‘I’m gonna help her get her dream out and then we’ll see what happens,’ ” Jay-Z told MTV News about the Kosovo-born, West London-bred singer when we caught up with him in Philadelphia on Monday. “I think her energy is infectious, because out the gate, two #1s in London and she’ll just continue to grow from there.”

The later of the two #1s that Jigga references is her current single “R.I.P.,” a track that was co-written by Drake and features Tinie Tempah. The fiery electro-love ode finds Ora staking her claim in a convoluted love triangle, making sensual offers that her boo simply can’t refuse. “R.I.P. to the girl you used to see,” she sings with a sexy wit.

What’s not to love about Rita? She perfectly balances over-the-top talent with a simple, around-the-way-girl charm. Her debut U.S. single “How We Do (Party)” is a nod to the Notorious B.I.G.’s 1991 underground track “Party and Bullsh–,” doesn’t get more around the way than that. (She told us last month she’s a ” huge Notorious B.I.G. fan.”)

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a bigger B.I.G. fan than Jay, and it just so happens he’s pretty fond of Rita as well. “She was the cool girl that worked in the sneaker store in the hood and everyone knew of her. She was just in there dreamin’ and she just wanted it so bad,” he said, describing Ora with awe. “You could just feel the excitement and the energy when she walks in the room, the room really changes. I know a lot of people say that and it gets to be cliché, but when she walks into a room, her energy picks you up.”

“Prometheus? are you seeing this?” We are indeed, Elizabeth Shaw ? we just don’t know exactly what we’re looking at!

A brand new “Prometheus” viral video has hit the web this week, and it’s very different from what we’ve seen before. There are no powerful TED Talks or awe-inspiring android tutorials to gaze upon today. No, today we’re getting to know Doctor Shaw, the female lead played by original “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” actress Noomi Rapace? and what we’re learning about her, while interesting, is nowhere near as alluring as the circumstances surrounding the video.

Take a look past the break!

In the video, Shaw speaks about the differences between what a scientist knows and what she believes. She talks about how she believes the answers to the secrets of life exist in a specific place, somewhere she knows how to get to, but somewhere she needs Sir Peter Weyland’s assistance in traveling to.

What’s most intriguing is that the video is supposed to be from the Weyland Industries Prometheus crew files, accessible by classified personnel only. Clearly, it’s been declassified for us. And it’s not just a case of Weyland letting us take a peek behind the curtain, either, not by the looks of it: the flash of “Yutani” at the end of the video indicates that Weyland’s chief rival is going to play a role in “Prometheus.”

Will the movie be more of a showcase for the founding of Weyland-Yutani than previously expected? I certainly hope so, but I’m not holding my breath. Think back to “Prometheus” writer Damon Lindelof’s other passion project, “Lost,” and how it handled viral marketing around the time of season two: the Hanso Foundation was at the core of that campaign, but it barely came to fruition on the show itself.

So is Weyland-Yutani just the backbone of the viral campaign for “Prometheus,” and nothing more than a background player in the film itself? We’ll see. In the meantime, keep the viral videos coming ? they’re fantastic to behold.

We’re less than a month away from everyone’s favorite cinematic-themed awards show ? the 2012 MTV Movie Awards ? and with only weeks away from our June 3 show date, you can expect special announcements to start flooding in with teases of this year’s special guests, presenters and pre-show moments.

Speaking of pre-show moments, we’re pleased to announce that the star-studded cast of “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” will be on hand to help present the trailer for the highly anticipated film during our pre-show. The lovely Emma Watson helped break the news via her Twitter account on Wednesday (May 16).

“#PerksOfBeingAWallflower Trailer is going to show at the @MTVMovieAwards pre-show!” Watson wrote. “@LoganLerman and Ezra and I will be there to present. : )”

“The Perks of Being a Wallflower” is based on the popular Stephen Chbosky novel of the same name. The story revolves around introverted high school freshman Charlie (Logan Lerman) as he slowly comes out of his shell thanks to new friends, siblings Sam (Emma Watson) and Patrick (Ezra Miller).

Watson will not only be attending the show as part of the “Perks” trailer presentation, but will also be representing “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2,” for which the lovely actress is a double nominee in the Best Female Performance and Best Kiss categories. “Deathly Hallows, Part 2″ has a chance to take home major Movie Awards gold given their six nominations but faces fierce competition from “The Hunger Games” and “Bridesmaids,” which are the most-nominated movies this year.

The MTV Movie Awards will air live from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California, on Sunday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

While his likely opponent in the fall presidential contest, Mitt Romney, dug in his heels and doubled down on his opposition to same-sex marriage, President Obama continued to earn praise from the entertainment community for his historic support of gay marriage.? After hearing from stars including? Neil Patrick Harris, Ellen DeGeneres, “Modern Family” star Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Kim Kardashian on Wednesday, the list of well-wishers grew to include everyone from Lady Gaga to hip-hop impresario Russell Simmons, Alec Baldwin and political blogger Meghan McCain.

“Obama, congratulations on being the first sitting president to support marriage equality,” tweeted Gaga. “Feels like the future, and not the past. #NoFear.” Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons simply said “thank you,” and singer Michelle Branch gave it a rousing, “YAY Obama!! #EqualityForAll.”

Frequent “Chelsea Lately” panelist and out comedian Ross Matthews could hardly contain his excitement, writing, “OMG, it’s official! Obama becomes 1st president to support gay marriage!!! Historic day!” Meanwhile, another out TV personality, Bravo boss and talk show host Andy Cohen, shouted, “THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT.”

Singer Ricky Martin offered his props as well, saying, “I applaud President @barackobama for affirming that ALL Americans should enjoy equal rights. Historic!”

CNN talker Piers Morgan called it, “One small step for him … one giant leap for mankind,” while comedian/actress Sandra Bernhard offered up the poetic bon mot, “Viva Obama who has just endorsed gay marriage. Right on time drop a dime blow your mind.”

“It Gets Better” founder and “Savage Love” columnist Dan Savage urged action on the back of Obama’s announcement, saying, “Gay people better get out there and support the president. If he loses in November, we’ll be blamed.”

“30 Rock” star Alec Baldwin kept is brief with, “Obama gets it right on gay marriage. Bravo,” out blogger Perez Hilton dubbed the announcement, “better late than never” and singer Josh Groban said it was just “historic.”

Twitter master comedian Patton Oswalt took the opportunity to have fun with the Obama news in a series of tweets about his upcoming (fake) gay marriage. “Oh my God — Seal Team Six just broke down my front door and are forcing me to marry @stephenfry! DAMN YOU, OBAMA!!!!!!” That was followed by some more good news in the form of, “Well, I’m now married to @stephenfry. Ceremony was charming, but watching Seal Team Six fight over the bouquet was f—ing INTENSE.” Funnyman Michael Ian Black was in a joking mood as well, taunting, “Hey Obama, if you love gay marriage so much, why don’t you marry it?”

And in keeping with her maverick streak (not to be confused with her dad’s), political blogger Meghan McCain opined, “Even though he did it a little late under political pressure — very happy to hear the President came out in support of gay marriage.” What do you think of President Obama’s support of gay marriage? Let us know in comments below.

Kristen Stewart is a badass. Skeptics judging her based solely on her work in the “Twilight” series might not feel the same way, but brace yourselves for “Snow White and the Huntsman.” Early buzz is very positive for the film, Stewart’s heroic performance included.

It’s not the last time Stewart will get into action hero mode, either. She recently signed on to star in “Cali” for director Nick Cassavetes. Described as a gritty action pic taking place in Los Angeles, “Cali” sees Stewart playing the star of a fake snuff film. After running away with the cash and disappearing for years, Stewart’s character must return from “the dead” to save the sister she left behind.

“That’s my next thing,” Stewart told MTV News about her future plans during the “Snow White and the Huntsman” press junket. “Hopefully after [the 'Snow White' press tour], we can go [shoot 'Cali'] in the summer and lock ourselves away for a few weeks in the Valley, in a little production office, and get together [some] weird, really freaky actor people.”

Indeed, Stewart says that the movie is “filled with the coolest characters,” leaving plenty of room for some memorable “freaky actor people” to climb aboard. But for the actress, on a personal level, “Cali” is a very important project that calls back to her past.

“I’m from the Valley, and it’s been a while since we’ve captured that world,” Stewart said of the movie. “It’s super extreme. Everything about it. It’s extremely violent and extremely funny and extremely emotional. It’s not hard to watch, but it’s really [in your face].”

Lady Gaga lives to provoke and push the envelope. But not everyone is up for her antics. The “Americano” singer has been forced to cancel her sold-out June 3 “Born This Way Ball” show at the 52,000-seat Gelora Bung Karno stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia after Islamic hard-liners and conservative lawmakers said her sexy costumes, suggestive dance moves and “vulgar” style could corrupt the nation’s youth.

According to the Associated Press, a spokesperson for the national police said on Tuesday (May 15) that the permit for the show has been denied after religious conservatives worried that the concert could undermine the nation’s moral fiber. Some of the critics actually threatened to use physical force to prevent Gaga from getting off her plane. Though Indonesia is a secular state, it has the world’s largest population of Muslims and a small extremist fringe of religious leaders has been more vocal in recent years.

“She’s a vulgar singer who wears only panties and a bra when she sings and she stated she is the envoy of the devil’s child and that she will spread satanic teaching,” said Salim Alatas, the Jakarta head of hardline Islamic Defender Front (FPI), according to Reuters. “This is dangerous.”

Local police worried that they might not be able to guarantee security at the show and suggested to national police that the permit for what was to be Gaga’s biggest gig on her current Asian tour be pulled. Every seat at the Karno stadium had been sold, with half of them going in the first two hours.

The AP reported that permits for shows are typically issued three weeks before concerts in Jakarta, so it is not uncommon for tickets to be sold well ahead of receiving a final permit. Gaga’s Asian tour started last month and the Indonesian flap is not the first bump she’s faced along the road. Gigs in South Korea? were 18-and-over because conservatives in that country also raised objections over the concert’s content.

Filming a movie inevitably puts an actor in one or two compromising situations, and during the shoot for “One for the Money,” Jason O’Mara may have strayed farther than he and co-star Katherine Heigl were expecting.

With the Blu-ray and DVD for “One for the Money” hitting stores today, we have an exclusive look at the gag reel featured on the disc. During one of those unused takes of O’Mara and Heigl kissing, the actor’s hands wandered a bit, making for a funny-awkward moment on set.

When O’Mara spoke with us for the release, we simply had to ask what was going on during that scene. Playing up his innocence, he joked that he couldn’t recall the scene. “I have absolutely no recollection of that whatsoever,” he said.

But then with a little pressure, O’Mara began to remember some of the gory details. “It was a beautiful summer’s day, and we went for a ride in the car. Obviously, you have to do quite a few takes of this,” O’Mara said. “Of course, Katie and I are entirely professional, but sometimes you don’t have complete control over your body in that situation. You want it to be appropriate, but at the same time, you want it to be kind of hot.”

That’s all O’Mara could recall about the particular take, but he did remember a few giggles from set. “I can’t remember the exact take, but some people were snickering at the placement of my hands,” he said. “I certainly didn’t take advantage of the situation. She and I are both happily married.”

The actual scene during which that blooper took place, eventually never made it into the finished film. “That was an ending that didn’t make the final cut of the movie,” O’Mara said. “It was an alternative ending where Morelli and Plum actually get together. She buys a new convertible from the bounty that she gets for turning in Joe Morelli, and she takes him out for a spin in it, and they make out in the front seat.”

The reason for changing the ending had to do with the nature of the characters’ relationship in the books. “For whatever reason, the powers that be decided that it wasn’t the correct ending or at least the ending that they wanted. It seemed a little cozy, a little tied up in a bow,” O’Mara said. “These characters, they have a very drawn out, epic sex life together. It blows hot and cold. Ending it on a hot note didn’t seem quite right.”

We’ve reached another potential milestone in the year of Channing Tatum. Having already punched faces in “Haywire” and melted hearts in “The Vow,” he’s set to punch more faces in “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” and melt more? somethings in “Magic Mike” in just a few weeks. Now, add another upcoming credit to the pile ? one that’s more on the face-punching side, with a little heart-melting thrown in for good measure.

The “21 Jump Street” star (oh yeah, don’t forget about that one too!) is reportedly in negotiations to star in “White House Down,” Columbia’s high priority action thriller being directed by the master of doomsday-scale filmmaking, Roland Emmerich.

Tatum would star in the “Die Hard”-styled action pic as a secret service agent and single father who is trapped inside of the White House when it’s taken over by paramilitary forces. It’s up to Tatum’s agent to save the President and save the day. Nothing Chan-man can’t handle, I don’t think.

“White House Down” is said to be on the fast track with another similarly premised film, “Olympus Has Fallen,” nipping at its heels. With Tatum in the lead and with Emmerich behind the wheel, something tells me it won’t be long before we hear a whole lot more on this one.

What was clearly intended as a jokey tweet lamenting the rigorous diet and exercise routine she is currently undertaking to prepare for her 110-date Born This Way Ball has put Lady Gaga in the crosshairs of some angry fans and eating-disorder organizations. On Tuesday, the pop star tweeted, “Just killed back to back spin classes. Eating a salad dreaming of a cheeseburger #PopSingersDontEat #IWasBornThisWay.” Some fans thought the tweet wasn’t exactly keeping with the pop star’s “You’re perfect the way you are” message and that her choice of the “#PopStarsDontEat” hashtag could be misinterpreted as encouraging eating disorders because she posits herself as a role model to her fans.

The National Eating Disorder Association even weighed in, hitting its own Twitter account to write, “Huh? This is the same person who recently implored girls to stop dieting?”

MTV Buzzworthy has an Open Letter To Lady Gaga While it seems clear that Gaga was joking ? who hasn’t dove into a salad wishing it was something else? ? the comment does appear out of character for the star, who has spoken publicly about her own struggles with an eating disorder as a teen. Using that particular hashtag might have been a poor choice, but it’s safe to say Lady Gaga wasn’t knowingly making light of eating disorders ? and, otherwise, wasn’t she mostly just encouraging exercise and healthy eating? Gaga tweets often about all sort of less-than-healthful habits, from drinking (“after 12 margaritas my phone was confiscated”) to, well, other things (“princess xena of xanaxland has lil secrets in her inbox”). Why she is being scrutinized for making an observation about something we already know ? that celebrities engage in intense fitness regimens to meet the unrealistic expectations placed on their appearance ? is kind of a mystery. But, you know, totally appropriate and necessary reason for outrage, everyone. Sound off on Gaga’s #PopSingersDontEat tweet in the comments below!
