Britney Spears isn't the only pop titan dancing until the world ends: Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha have joined forces to add a new spin on an all-female remix of Femme Fatale's second single, "Till the World Ends."

The reworked dance anthem, which leaked online Friday (April 22), appears to have surfaced earlier than expected as noted by a series of countdowns on all three of the stars' websites.

Mixing the dance tune's original sonic swirls with heavier bass, Britney tourmate Minaj starts off the remix by throwing down an aggressive verse, in which she calls out a female hater: "A-A-A-A-A-AYE!/ Chimpanzees is hatin', but I take it all in stride/ Put her in a jungle with bananas on the side/ Told you they'd revive your career, but somebody lied/ I ain't talkin' poultry when I say this chicken's fried."

After Minaj spits a few introductory bars, Spears delivers the song's first verse before an introduction for the all-star trio. "It's Britney, bitch. I'm Nicki Minaj and that's Ke$ha!" the Young Money MC proclaims.

Ke$ha, who originally wrote the track for the pop princess, takes part in singing the club-ready track's chorus. Spears soon takes back control of the song as Ke$ha shadows the singer's lines toward the end of the second verse and bridge. Unlike the original version, the "Till the World Ends" remix also features a stuttering dubstep dance break.

News of a star-studded collaboration was hinted earlier this week when producer Dr. Luke tweeted, "@NICKIMINAJ killed it tonight!!!! thanks!!!"

Four 'Real Housewives of NYC' Stars Fired?

Four 'Real Housewives of NYC' Stars Fired?

What do you get when you take the real housewives of New York out of Real Housewives of New York? Bravo viewers are about to find out, if a new report is true. The Huffington Post's Rob Shuter claims that Jill Zarin, Alex McCord and Kelly Bensimon -- literally half the cast! -- have not been invited back to the show next season.

In fact, HuffPo says that on Thursday morning Bravo notified Zarin, 47, McCord, 37, and Bensimon, 43, that they would not be returning as full-time cast members. The news could actually come as a relief to fans, since it would mean that Bravo is not firing the entire cast (as was rumored in May). Judging from the sparks that flew at the reunion show, there will be no shortage of drama between LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan.

But what about new cast member Cindy Barshop? In June, Hollywood Life claimed that the entrepreneurial mother of twins had been axed along with the McCords. But as of last week, it was anybody's guess.

"Obviously nobody’s got it going down right now, but soon -- probably another week everybody will know," Barshop told the press during a Fashion Week event. That said, a source tells Us Weekly that Barshop will indeed be among those getting the guillotine. What's more, Us claims that Singer isn't a sure thing, either, and is in the midst of negotiating a new contract.

So will the remaining housewives be left to carry the show on their own? Huffington Post's insider says that three new ladies will be added to the cast, which Sonja Morgan confirmed Wednesday on New York Live. But, says the source, there's a catch: The fired housewives could reportedly be rehired if any of the new housewives don't work out. That's one way to ratchet up the drama!

Bravo has not confirmed the reported cast changes, saying that "no decisions have been made yet." We only hope they've got some amazing new characters in the wings. After all, women as nutty as Kelly Bensimon don't come along every day!

Justin Bieber Records With Boyz II Men: The Photo Evidence!

As if the Twitter back-and-forth weren't enough to get fans excited for their Christmas-themed collaboration, MTV News now has photo evidence of Justin Bieber and Boyz II Men singer Shawn Stockman in the studio together.

In the photo, both guys are seen looking casual in baseball caps and T-shirts. They shared a high-five in the studio, which was even decorated with Christmas lights.

The guys had a bit of a Twittermance post-session that had the veteran Boyz reminding the teen phenom to never forget the wisdom they shared with him. And whatever that advice was, it certainly made an impression on Bieber. "I'm not gonna forget. THANK U!!" he tweeted.

Bieber has a busy fall ahead of him. As he readies the release of his Christmas album, he's also getting ready to hit the road in South America and Mexico. "Back in the studio putting the finishing touches on this Christmas album and getting the tour stuff together," he tweeted.

The tour will kick off later this month in Mexico and will make its way around South America, including stops in Brazil and Argentina. He'll wrap up the stint at the end of October. He's pretty much off the road until December and January, when he has two stops planned in Illinois.

"Seeing all the love for the S AMERICAN fans ... tour is less than a month away. Who got tickets in BRAZIL? in Argentina? in Mexico? in Chile?" he tweeted.

Brad Pitt Relates To 'David Vs. Goliath' Story In 'Moneyball'

'I certainly feel injustice,' he tells MTV News.
By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz

You'd think it's been a while since Brad Pitt felt anything like an underdog, since those days in the late '80s when he was pumped just to get a few lines in a TV show like "21 Jump Street" or had to console himself with work as an extra next to then-hot shots like Andrew McCarthy and Jami Gertz. These days, he's Brad Pitt: Oscar nominee, beloved of Angelina Jolie and ... freaking Brad Pitt.

But as the actor admitted to MTV News at the Toronto International Film Festival, there are still times when he feels like the world is against him, when he finds himself in a similar situation to the 2002 Oakland Athletics, the small-market Major League Baseball club at the center of his new movie, "Moneyball."

"I certainly feel injustice," he said. "I'm no foreigner to that, whether it's real or perceived."

Unjust is certainly the situation the A's find themselves in the film, which is based on the best-selling nonfiction title by Michael Lewis and which hits theaters September 23. The team had a vastly smaller payroll than other teams but nonetheless was able to rise to the top when general manager Billy Beane (Pitt) employed a newfangled, statistics-based approach to building his roster of players.

"These are guys that are working in an unfair game," Pitt explained. "They are a team with no money trying to fight — it's David vs. Goliath. How are they going to be competitive? How are they going to stand a chance? They can't fight the other guys' fight; they're going to lose every time. These guys had to rethink it and rethink what they were doing.

"They're Galileo, in a sense, going up against an institution that is not going to be very happy about them questioning their norms," he added.

Usher To Donate Gadhafi Money To Charity

'I will be donating all of my personal proceeds...to various human rights organizations,' singer says of concert linked to Libyan dictator.

R&B superstar Usher announced Friday (March 4) that he was donating to various charities proceeds from appearing at a private event at St. Barts linked to Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, according to a statement made to the Associated Press.

The Grammy award winner's renouncement comes after similar announcements from singers Mariah Carey, Nelly Furtado, and Beyoncé, all of whom were revealed to have performed at private concerts linked to the Middle Eastern leader, who has faced open revolt and major political uprisings since February.

"I am sincerely troubled to learn about the circumstances surrounding the Nikki Beach St. Bart's event that took place on New Year's Eve 2009," Usher said of the concert, at which he appeared alongside Beyoncé but did not perform. "I will be donating all of my personal proceeds from that event to various human rights organizations."

Usher has already begun the process, having made a donation to Amnesty International, the AP reports. The exact size of the donation is not known.

The New Year's Eve gig was reportedly for Moammar's fourth son Muastassim, who an unnamed music industry source told MTV News has a history of throwing lavish parties "jammed" with supermodels.

Beyoncé, who sang at the event, donated all proceeds from her performance to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, established in the wake of the Haitian earthquake.

"All monies paid to Beyoncé for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St. Barts on New Year's Eve 2009, including the commissions paid to her booking agency, were donated to the earthquake relief efforts for Haiti over a year ago," the "Halo" singer's publicist said in a statement to The Huffington Post. "Once it became known that the third-party promoter was linked to the Qaddafi family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause."

Singer Nelly Furtado tweeted February 28 that she plans to make similar amends.

"In 2007, I received 1million$ from the Gadhafi clan to perform a 45 min. show for guests at a hotel in Italy," she tweeted. "I am going to donate the $."

The leader of Libya since a successful military coup in 1969, Gadhafi has reportedly lost control of much of his country as a result of widespread uprisings. The United Nations voted unanimously to refer the dictator to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.

Johnny Depp Is Extreme Barnabas In 'Dark Shadows' Set Pics

Photos show Tim Burton's vision of the vampire is much less human than the '60s soap original.
By Eric Ditzian

Johnny Depp promised that his take on the vampire Barnabas Collins in Tim Burton's adaptation of "Dark Shadows" wouldn't diverge greatly from the "classic look" of the character in the '60s-era gothic soap opera. "I think it's going to be somewhere in that arena, with maybe just a couple of different touches here and there," Depp told MTV News.

Perhaps, though, things have changed more than a touch since then. Photos snapped of Depp on the U.K. set show a vampire less like the familiar Barnabas than something out of Burton's "Alice in Wonderland." Depp's take, complete with pancake makeup, reddened lips and wacky blue glasses, makes the vampire look decidedly inhuman. That's a stark divergence from Jonathan Frid's original Barnabas, who was kind of creepy but also a dapper gentleman with an aesthetic that didn't scream, "Hey, world, I'm totally a supernatural creature!"

At the same time, what else were we expecting? This is a Depp-Burton joint, after all, and this duo is hardly known for subtlety or a reluctance to mess with the pop-culture past. So let's not get crazy or cynical and swear off this new "Dark Shadows" based on a few paparazzi photos. Recall the deep affection Depp has for the ABC show, which premiered in 1966 and pulled in elements of gothic romance, ghost stories, time travel and a whole lot of weirdness over its 1,255-episode run. The actor has long held out a hope of bringing the material to the big screen and portraying Barnabus.

The new storyline begins in the 18th century, when Barnabas is turned into a vampire by the brokenhearted witch Angelique (Eva Green) and buried alive. The film then flashes forward two centuries, as Barnabas is freed from his tomb and returns to his home and the dysfunctional relatives who now reside there.

"We're changing it a little bit," Burton told us last fall. "I wouldn't do it if it felt like it was just doing the same thing. For me, it's about trying to go back to the original drawings and kind of capture that spirit a little bit more of what the drawings are. It feels different even though it's a similar story, but we're kind of expanding it a bit.

Check out everything we've got on "Dark Shadows."

Landau began singing for local charitable organizations in his spare time. His job during the day was to work at a car dealership washing cars. Landau continued to pursue his dream and last night his dream came true. He won the $1 million dollar prize and also has been booked to perform at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
