It seems the nipple still isn’t free, as Chelsea Handler ran into some static with the folks at Instagram after she posted a topless photo.
Looking to poke fun at the notorious Vladimir Putin “shirtless-while-riding-a-horse” snapshot, the former “Chelsea Lately” host hopped on a stallion and ditched her top.
However, after about 20 minutes on the social networking website, Handler’s lady pillows pic was removed and she received a message about not violating community standards.
A fired up Chelsea wrote, “Taking this down is sexist. I have every right to prove I have a better body than Putin.”

If a man posts a photo of his nipples, it's ok, but not a woman? Are we in 1825?

Taylor Swift took over The Late Show with David Letterman’ with her interview and performance of a new song, ‘Welcome to New York.’ It’s all part of the massive fanfare for her pop music album, ’1989′ as the country-pop star is in the midst of her coronation as a full fledged pop music star.
Taylor Swift is everywhere with her new pop music album, ’1989.’ As New Yorkers have probably learned, she is also one of their transplanted residents, having moved to TribBeCa last year. She has now been named New York City’s Global Welcome Ambassador … yes, whether we needed one or not. While some might think she’s a Nashville resident, still, she aims to prove otherwise.
Yes, New York figured into her appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. The famed Ed Sullivan Theater is, after all, an iconic landmark in Manhattan and, as seen in the photos above and below, Taylor Swift was out in full force, surrounded by legions of fans.
In the studio, along with performing her song ‘Welcome to New York’ — an ode to the city, as searing and direct as any of her breakup songs — she sat for the expected and lively interview with the eponymous host.
For those who wondered how suddenly Taylor Swift has been enshrined an icon of New York City she explained, “When I love something, I’m very, very vocal about it. Any time I talk to anyone or any time I do an interview, I’m like, ‘You don’t understand. You have to go there now.”
The “there” she refers to, of course, is the Big Apple which she has now suddenly discovered.
Taylor Swift continued, saying, “You have to go to New York. Just drop what you’re doing, and go there. It’s amazing. It’s the greatest place ever.’ And I guess the city picked up on that. They’re like, ‘She’s the most enthusiastic, obnoxious person to ever love New York. She loves it with like 18 exclamation points afterward, underlined.’”
No taxpayer dollars or private funds were involved in this, as she was quick to explain. She said, “I don’t get any money for it.” She added, “I’d been obsessing over moving to New York for a year but I didn’t find the perfect place until winter last year. So, I’ve been there ever since and I had the most amazing summer here. All my friends are here!”
One of those friends, just happens to be across the bridge in Brooklyn. One Lena Dunham of ‘Girls’ fame. Taylor Swift said they became friends through Twitter. “She direct messaged me and she said, ‘We need to be best friends. I feel like you’ve been my best friend in my head for months and almost year now, so I need to see you in person and I will lavish you with compliments in person.’ And she did do that. And we’ve been best friends ever since.”

The duo sat down with MTV News in Berlin to discuss a pair of unlikely collaborations.
By James Montgomery
<P>Theirs is a relationship that has spanned time and Twitter, <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/keshasuxx/status/77286418598211584" target="_blank">seafood</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/keshasuxx/status/157523381602889728" target="_blank">shaving</a>, but over the years, the unlikely bond between the <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/black_keys/artist.jhtml">Black Keys</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/id_3213641/artist.jhtml">Ke$ha</a> has grown to become something <i>more</i>: a genuine friendship, marked with the occasional trespassing charge. </P><P> </P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Would The Black Keys Ever Collaborate With Ke$ha?" id="vid:731631.id:1678505" width="240" height="211"></div><p> </P><P> </P><P>"We're friends with her, we've known her since way before she was famous, before she was even a singer, I guess," Keys drummer Patrick Carney told MTV News. "When she was 16 years old, she used to sneak into our shows. We kind of became friends with her by kicking her out of our backstage room, over and over again. She actually has snuck into shows in L.A., San Diego, Coachella ..." </P><P> </P><P>"She snuck in and [got] kicked out of one show, like, <i>five</i> times," frontman Dan Auerbach added. "[She] snuck in through the kitchen. I don't know if she's such a big fan; she just likes breaking the rules." </P><P> </P><P>So, when MTV News sat down with the 'Keys in Berlin during the premiere of their <a href="/news/articles/1678662/black-keys-gold-on-the-ceiling-music-video.jhtml">"Gold on the Ceiling"</a> video, we had to ask if their friendship with Ke$ha would take the next step: an actual musical collaboration. It's not all that far-fetched, considering both Ke$h and Auerbach live in Nashville ("I see her every once in a while flying by in her T-Top [convertible]," Auerbach laughed), and recently, the glittery one has logged studio time with <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/keshasuxx/status/160846424609787906" target="_blank">the Flaming Lips</a>. So, could we see a team-up on the next Black Keys album? </P><P> </P><P>"I guess, I don't know," Carney said. "We don't really do that many collaborations, really." </P><P> </P><P>OK, so if a Ke$ha collabo isn't in the cards, just who would the 'Keys like to work with next? Well, as it turns out, they've got their eyes set on landing a very big star for the next record ... even if they mistakenly believe he's deceased. </P><P> </P><P>"We both want to work with Jim Nabors very badly, but apparently he's not with us anymore," Carney said. </P><P>Oh, <a href="http://www.jimnabors.com/" target="_blank">but he is.</a> Which means that, much like Nabors, the dream is alive. The Ke$ha collabo? Eh, probably not so much. </P><P> </P><P><i>Should the Black Keys hit the studio with Ke$ha? Leave your comment below!</i></p>

Keanu Reeves’ role in ‘The Matrix’ made him a Hollywood star. Now 15 years later he opens up about his current action movie, ‘John Wick’ and also speaks about the how film offers are drying up for him, and what life has been like for him as he continues his movie career.
He rose to fame with the iconic science fiction movie franchise and now Keanau Reeves is the star of another action movie, ‘John Wick,’ this one recognizably our own world.
In a new interview with Indiewire, the now 50-year-old actor speaks out about life in this world and what it has been like for him in the 15 years since he blazed the screen in ‘The Matrix’ which gave us the concept of taking the blue pill…or not.
He acknowledged it has a while since a major movie has come his way. He said, “The last studio movie I did was “47 Ronin,” but before that it had been a long time — probably “The Day the Earth Stood Still.” So I haven’t been getting many offers from the studios.”
The former was released in 2013 and the later, a few years earlier, 2008. Asked if he was okay with that, he said, quite candidly, “No, it sucks, but it’s just the way it is. You can have positive and negative experiences, but what I like about studios are the resources and the worlds that they can create.”
He went on to elaborate about studio movies versus independent films saying, “Even when I was working on studio movies more often, I was always doing independent movies. So for me, that was just not happening, but I want to keep going, making things, and telling stories. I want to be able to do that — to be an actor, a director, to produce, you know? If we’re going to do a delineation between studio and independent [films], I was always hoping to do both.”
He also spoke about his current movie, ‘John Wick’ in which he portrays a retired hitman who, in typical Hollywood fashion, does not remain in retirement; he goes on a vendetta after his car is stolen and his dog is killed.
Asked about its uniqueness, Reeves said, “It’s the world they’ve created and the vision of the story. The shooting style: the colors, the way they shoot the action. They’re doing wide shots, not a lot of cuts. They’re wanting the action to unfold in front of you as opposed to changing perspectives. That feels different — it’s a little more intimate and objective. It’s not just visceral action. You can believe what you’re seeing and it’s not just sound and fury. You can see the fluidity and what they’re doing — like that one hall shot where they’re wrestling, and he just comes through and pounds a knife into the other guy’s chest. There’s no cut.”
You can see the full interview at Indiewire here.
Look below for some photos of Keanau Reeves on the red carpet at the premiere of ‘John Wick.’ As he has made the rounds on talk shows to promote the movie, much has been made of his having turned 50. See for yourself, the ever-handsome actor who belies the stereotype of what 50 looks like. It’s truly a case of 50 is the new 30.

Raising Sand, from Led Zeppelin vet and bluegrass superstar, wins five Grammys on Sunday night.
By James Montgomery with MTV News staff
<P>"I'm bewildered," <a href="/music/artist/plant_robert/artist.jhtml">Robert Plant</a> said onstage as he accepted the <MTVNLINK type="news" id="1604580">Grammy Album of the Year award</MTVNLINK> with <a href="/music/artist/krauss_alison/artist.jhtml">Alison Krauss</a> on Sunday night. "In the old days we would have called this selling out, but it's a good way to spend a Sunday." </P><P> </P><P>He was probably one of the few who were surprised, because <i>Raising Sand,</i> which won five trophies at Sunday night's show, is in many ways the perfect <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/grammys/">Grammy</a> album. It features two respected veterans, a critically lauded producer, some sandpaper-and-velvet vocals and a baker's dozen of time-tested standards.</p><div style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;"><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:338316" width="256" height="223" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashVars="configParams=instance%3Dnews%26vid%3D338316" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></div><p> </P><P> </P><P>You're probably familiar with Robert Plant from his <a href="/music/artist/led_zeppelin/artist.jhtml">Led Zeppelin</a> days, and you might be aware of producer T-Bone Burnett's work on the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack (it won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2002). And if you don't know who Alison Krauss is, she possesses a haunting set of pipes and is one of the meanest fiddle players in the world. Oh, and she's won 21 Grammys, more than any other female artist and the seventh-most in history. </P><P> </P><P>Really, she's the key to <i>Sand</i>'s success, and not just because of her voice (or her fiddle playing). She and Plant first met in 2004, at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute to legendary bluesman Leadbelly, and the former Zeppelin man was amazed by her knowledge of American Roots music — so much so that they began kicking around the idea of recording an album together. Three years later, <i>Sand</i> was released. </P><P> </P><P>And while Plant possesses the more famous voice, the album's finest moments radiate from Krauss. Whether she's getting bluesy on Little Milton's "Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson" or entwining with Plant's husky voice on songs like "Please Read the Letter" and Roly Salley's winsome "Killing the Blues," she more than carries her end of the bargain. </P><P> </P><P>And perhaps that's also due to producer Burnett, who handpicked the 13 songs the duo cover on <i>Sand.</i> His arrangements are sparse — giving the two voices ample room to breathe — yet dense, warm and crackling at the same time. It's a testament to his work that he's often given just as much billing as Plant and Krauss on the project ... and it's certainly justified. </P><P> </P><P>To date, <i>Sand</i> has sold more than 1 million copies, heaped tons of acclaim and actually earned a Grammy last year — "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)" took home the award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals. </P><P> </P><P>One expert was surprised not by the album's success, but by the fact that it's actually quite a good album. </P><P> </P><P>"At first, the album seemed like a vanity project. ... Two names, clearly a one-off record, didn't have to be any good, you know?" <i>New York Times</i> music critic Jon Caramanica said. "Led Zeppelin fans would buy it because of Robert Plant, Alison Krauss would get a check. But it actually turned out to be a really thoughtful, really <i>good</i> record. So when you combine all that with the fact that the Grammys love to lionize one of their own, I could really see it taking home some awards." </P><P></p>

Jack White is a golden god and he’s not afraid to show it in the music video for his latest single “Lazaretto.” The black-and-white clip shows shattered glass, a car doing donuts against a pale floor, and a disco ball smashing into a wall in slow-motion. It’s chaotic, just like the song. Check it out.
The clip begins as White readies to play the song. And he’s not alone, his band is rocking out with him. There’s static, shattered glass flying everywhere, and some slimy spit. White gets a little symbolic too by showing raging bulls and snakes in the clip. Here it is:
White’s new solo album, Lazaretto, comes out in a few days (June 10th) through Columbia and his own label, Third Man Records. A seven-inch vinyl single of “Lazaretto” is now available for pre-order. The full Lazaretto LP is currently streaming on iTunes in its entirety; it’s available for pre-order on both ULTRA LP vinyl and CD.

The 13-second preview of Mike Posner-produced track shows off an edgier side of Bieber.
By Jocelyn Vena
<P>Is it killing you that you have to wait until Monday to hear what <a href="/news/articles/1680882/justin-bieber-boyfriend-single-buzz.jhtml">"Boyfriend" sounds</a> like? Well, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> feels your pain and decided to release a teaser for the lead single off his <a href="/news/articles/1680373/justin-bieber-believe-album.jhtml">album, <i>Believe.</i></a> </P><P> </P><P>The 13-second, blink-and-you-might-miss-it tease is spare in terms of instruments, just bleeps and thumps, no singing or rapping. But it does play up Bieber's love for hip-hop; as it nears the end of the tease, a drum line-style beat kicks in. Come Monday, of course, the whole song will drop for Beliebers' listening pleasure. </P><P> </P><P><center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:744691/cp~id%3D1680192%26vid%3D744688%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A744688" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></center> </P><P> </P><P>The video teaser also includes footage of Bieber in the studio, recording "Boyfriend," which was co-written and co-produced by Mike Posner. The clip premiered on Justin's <a href="http://www.justinbiebermusic.com/boyfriend" target="_blank">website</a> late Thursday night. </P><P> </P><P>"This record is different in a very good way," said producer/writer Mason Levy, who also worked on the song. "Definitely edgier, it's more grown-up, it's more developed and it's sexier. It's just like really dope. It's gonna definitely surprise people. People aren't really expecting that. They're going to like it." </P><P> </P><P>It's clear from the teaser that <a href="/news/articles/1681595/justin-bieber-boyfriend.jhtml">Bieber is using</a> influences from urban music and that he's looking to grow up sonically. The music in the new clip also seems to pay homage to Justin Timberlake, and even Chris Brown. Bieber has confirmed that he raps on the song. </P><P> </P><P>"It's more just the verses [that he's rapping on], and the rest he's singing," Levy told MTV News. "It's dope. It's hip-hop, but with great acoustic R&B, pop guitar with very hip-hop, clubby drums and really dope Justin Timberlake-y melodies." </P><P> </P><P><i>What do you think of "Boyfriend" so far?
