The weather just didn't want to cooperate with the Black Eyed Peas, Taylor Swift and the other artists slated to perform in New York's Central Park on Thursday night at a concert to benefit the Robin Hood Foundation anti-poverty organization. After a number of delays, and before anyone could take the stage, the Concert 4 NYC had been canceled.

The show, which had been slated to take place on Central Park's Great Lawn and was expected to draw an audience of approximately 60,000 fans, initially was just delayed but concert promoters eventually decided to pull the plug on the event as the weather worsened and thunder and rain rolled in, Billboard.com reports. Among the other acts that had been scheduled to perform were Debbie Harry, LL Cool J and Natasha Bedingfield.

A rep for the concert has confirmed to MTV News that no new date has been scheduled. In a statement, the Robin Hood Foundation said, "The heat wasn't going to stop them, the rain wasn't going to stop them, but the lightning — it stopped them. It came down to safety for everyone. Organizers are hoping to reschedule, so ticket buyers should hold onto their tickets. Robinhood.org will have information in the next week or so."

The artists themselves also have apologized to fans for the cancelation. Swift tweeted, "I was like 'I get to sing with Fergie in NYC?!' and then there was rain and lightning and they're like 'it's cancelled' and I was like [sad emoticon]."

The Black Eyed Peas, who reportedly performed an intimate show backstage for fans, also took to Twitter to posted about the nixed concert. "I'm so sad the show got postponed," will.i.am wrote.

"Fergie is really sorry it's not happening we feel horrible," Taboo added on his Twitter page. "We are devastated and Fergie told me to tweet this she loves u all ... I hope that the concert will be rescheduled ASAP, our pea-ple deserve it, my pea-ple from chase and robinhood deserve this NYC we love u."

On select dates of Britney Spears' Femme Fatale tour, which kicks off next month with opening act Nicki Minaj, look for the singer to be joined by her "(Drop Dead) Beautiful" collaborator, Sabi. The fledgling rapper/singer dished about the gig to MTV News on Wednesday night at a private event hosted by Spears to benefit the St. Bernard Project, charity that aids Hurricane Katrina victims.

Sabi revealed that, first up, she'll appear in Los Angeles this Saturday at KIIS-FM's annual Wango Tango concert, which Spears will co-host. "That's this week and when Britney goes on tour, I'll be doing a couple shows, like L.A., Las Vegas and New York," explained Sabi. "So that's kind of what's going on right now."

While Spears has been busy prepping for the tour, Sabi has yet to hit up rehearsals with the femme fatale herself. "No [I haven't rehearsed yet]. I've been rehearsing for Wango Tango," she said. "I don't know [what will happen up there], I'm just excited. I'm gonna go and just kill it. You don't get this type of opportunity all the time, so I'm just ready to go kill it."

Sabi says that since Spears' album dropped earlier this year, she's been enjoying more and more visibility in the pop music world. And she is not complaining at all.

"Life's been increasingly busy since then," she explained. "Before, it was kind of like working, but it's a slow grind and now things are coming to [fruition]. So it's dope, 'cause this is what I wanted. I wanted to get to that level where I'm able to make really serious moves for my career and I'm here now, so it's dope."

Would you be excited to see Sabi at some of Britney's Femme Fatale shows? Tell us in the comments.

Justin Bieber: I'm A Country Boy

The newly minted CMT Music Award winner says he shares his mother's love of the country sound.

Before he took home the trophy for Collaborative Video of the Year at the CMT Music Awards on Wednesday night, Justin Bieber professed his love for all things country on the red carpet.

"I'm really glad to be here," he told CMT, with the guys of Rascal Flatts by his side. "It's great."

It wasn't just an exciting night for him, but also for Mama Bieber, who happens to be a big country music aficionado. "It's great; it's so many people my mother admires, 'cause she loves country music, and I do too," he continued. "So it's really great to be here with Rascal Flatts."

It was on the set for his winning video, "That Should Be Me," that Bieber first cut his hair. In the end, the sacrifice of his trademark locks seemed worth it.

"Some of the fans liked it; some of the fans didn't. They were just upset he cut it," Bieber joked, nodding to Rascal Flatts' Gary LeVox.

The video for "That Should Be Me," a Never Say Never - The Remixes track (which was a reworked version of the song that first appeared on My World 2.0) is a lo-fi, behind-the-scenes, "making of the video" performance clip. But it was good enough to beat out the likes of country music superstars like Jason Aldean with Kelly Clarkson; Kid Rock featuring Sheryl Crow; Loretta Lynn, Miranda Lambert and Sheryl Crow, as well as Aaron Lewis featuring George Jones and Charlie Daniels.

"First of all, I just want to say how honored I am to be here ... with Rascal Flatts," Bieber said while accepting his first country award. "How amazing are Rascal Flatts, everybody? I want to thank my mom. I want to thank my family. And I want to thank Rascal Flatts for even jumping on the song with me."

'Harry Potter' Fans Ready For 'Twilight' Battle Next Year

' 'Twilight' has this incredibly hard-core fanbase that apparently cannot be beat,' says one Potter expert.

"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" swept the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, and "Harry Potter" fans are not too pleased about it.

On Monday (June 6), MTV News caught up with some of the head honchos at leading "Harry Potter" fan sites so they could weigh in on the "Potter" versus "Twilight" Movie Awards rivalry. Some shared their theories about why "Twilight" seems to beat out the Boy Who Lived every time they're in the same category.

"It is a shame because 'Potter' definitely deserves it, but 'Twilight' has this incredibly hard-core fanbase that apparently cannot be beat," said Andrew Sims of MuggleNet. "I just hope that next year at the next Movie Awards 'Potter' fans actually learn their lesson and get voting."

Although "Potter" fans couldn't overcome Twilighter fervor, #teampotter did jump to the number two trending topic worldwide on Twitter during the Movie Awards pre-show. Julia Hodges of DanRadcliffe.com and RupertGrint.net was disappointed "Harry Potter" didn't come away any of the night's awards — other than Best Villain for Tom Felton — that she believed the series truly deserved.

"The 'Potter' films [are] not only amazing for the people who love 'Harry Potter,' they're amazing films," Hodges said. "They've been nominated for so many Oscars and they've actually won a few, and they were just recognized at the most recent BAFTA awards for Outstanding Contribution to British Cinema, so the quality of the 'Potter' films alone is incredible."

But Rosi Halse of the Leaky Cauldron wouldn't let the fact that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" didn't collect a bunch of Golden Popcorn statues dampen her love of the series. "The 'Harry Potter' fanbase is so huge, and we know we love the films and we love the stories and we love the actors," she said. "I think you can't help but be proud whether or not they did miss out on the awards."

Next year's Movie Awards will be the last time a film in the "Harry Potter" franchise will be eligible to compete at the awards show, and the fan sites are already planning to rally Potter-heads to come out in full force and actually bring home some Golden Popcorn.

After seeing an exclusive scene from the "Deathly Hallows, Part 2" during the Movie Awards, Halse said she's convinced that 2012 could be the year of "Potter." "If that is just a preview of what's to come, I think it will definitely walk away with a few awards next year," she said.

The Tony Awards: What to Expect Sunday Night

The Tony Awards: What to Expect Sunday Night

This Sunday, the 2011 Tony Awards (CBS, 8 p.m. ET) will celebrate Broadway's best with shiny medallions, superstar presenters and…bawdy jokes? So says Neil Patrick Harris -- who's returning to host the live show after deftly handling the job back in 2009. "It may be as unpredictable and lewd a Tonys as network televisions will allow," says the star of How I Met Your Mother and the upcoming Smurfs movie. 

That might have a little something to do with the most-nominated show of the night, Matt Stone and Trey Parkers' irreverent satire, The Book of Mormon, about a pair of Mormon missionaries in Uganda. Apparently, it wasn't easy finding a family-TV-friendly way to showcase this Best Musical nominee, but, Harris says, "they finally found a number they think won't upset the censors."

Critics are favoring Mormon to win Best Musical, though another contender, The Scottsboro Boys (the much more sober, true story of African American boys accused of rape in 1931) has received lots of rave reviews, too.

The night will certainly be movie star-studded, since so many have taken to the stage this year. Among those expected are Robin Williams (from Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo), Kiefer Sutherland and Chris Noth (from That Championship Season), and Daniel Radcliffe (from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying). Presenters will include Whoopi Goldberg, Chris Rock and Christie Brinkley, among others. And, of course, Broadway stars will perform throughout the night.

"It's an awards show that not only honors amazingly talented performers, but you actually get to see them performing live," says Harris. "There's no canned music; there's no lip-syncing allowed. It's what you'd see if you came to New York and saw one show. You can sit in your living room and see nine of them."

And if the show gets a little lewd at times, well, you can't say you haven't been warned!

Breaking Dawn' Last Day 'Wasn't Super Dramatic

'It was surprising, actually, how little we had to say when we finished,' Nikki Reed tells MTV News.

"Breaking Dawn" has wrapped, the trailer has officially debuted at the MTV Movie Awards, and the stars of "The Twilight Saga" are nearing the end of their years-long franchise.

MTV News caught up with Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz and Peter Facinelli outside the Gibson Amphitheatre after "Eclipse" won the Golden Popcorn for Best Movie. The Cullen trio chatted about the last day of shooting, saying it wasn't as emotional as fans might have expected.

"It was surprising, actually, how little we had to say when we finished, to be honest," Reed said. "We know we're going to see each other, so it wasn't super dramatic."

Facinelli agreed, adding, "We have two more movies coming out, so it wasn't so much of a goodbye as it was a 'see ya later.' "

According to the three "Twilight" stars, there was no big commotion made on their last day of filming "Breaking Dawn" In fact, none of the stars even made a speech.

"We should have a speech right now!" Facinelli suggested. "Kellan?"

Lutz turned to his co-stars and deadpanned, "I worked the very last day, and I hate you mother----ers. That's my speech."

Though the stars of "The Twilight Saga" still have another year and a half until the second part of "Breaking Dawn" hits theaters, and then will have to make press rounds to promote the DVD and Blu-ray release, they still are willing to look into the future to what they will be doing for other projects. Or they're willing to joke about it, at least.

"Broadway musical, let's do it," Facinelli said with a laugh. " 'Carlisle on Ice.' I can't wait."

"I'll buy a ticket," Lutz offered.
