Debuting her new film in the Land Down Under, Katy Perry was busy rocking the pink carpet at the “Katy Perry: Part of Me” premiere in Sydney, Australia on Saturday (June 30).
The “Firework” songstress looked stunning in a knee length, strapless gold dress and heels as she posed for awaiting photographers before heading in for the exciting screening being shown at Event Cinemas.
Preparing for the fun night ahead, Katy took to her Twitter page just prior to showtime, writing, “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE, OI OI OI! Who's coming down for AU pink carpet premiere 2NIGHT? PART OF ME in AU Cinemas July 2! #katyperry3daustralia."
She later encouraged her Australian fans to check out her 3D cinema offering, tweeting, “Welp, that was heaps of fun! Thank for letting me come down under... ♥ u Aussies! Show your love July 2nd AUS! #KP3D.”
The pop sensation’s first film is a documentary which gives fans an on and off the stage look into Miss Perry’s life, with the July 5th release also including footage from the heartbreaking moments she went through during her divorce from now ex-husband, Russell Brand.

She never stops! Miley Cyrus was once again spotted getting in her regular Pilates routine in West Hollywood, CA on Saturday afternoon (June 30).
The “Can’t Be Tamed” singer donned a simple white tank and black pants as she left the studio full of loving thoughts while tweeting, “"I have found the perfect paradox, that if you love until it hurts there can be no more hurt only MORE LOVE,” later adding, “when you say you love me know I love you more.”
The 19-year-old was also spotted out and about in Los Angeles, CA the previous day while looking incredibly toned as she donned a cropped top with black yoga pants for her sweat session and office building visit.
In other news, the "Last Song" starlet's fiancée, Liam Hemsworth, stirred up the rumor mill when he mentioned to People that he and Miley were married, saying, “"I was fortunate enough to get called back in to read with my now fiancée [for 'The Last Song'], who I recently got engaged to ... and we read together and fell in love and now we're married.”
The Aussie hunk quickly corrected himself by adding, "Well, not married yet," as his bride-to-be chimed in while saying, “We will be!”

Former French First Lady Carla Bruni is reportedly expecting her third child with her husband and former president Nicolas Sarkozy, according to reports.
The baby will be the 44-year-old's second child with Sarkozy, but third in total, as she has an 11-year-old son, Aurelian, with her ex Raphael Enthoven.
Earlier this week rumors surfaced that Bruni had 'fallen into depression' after giving birth last September and then facing her husband's presidential defeat during last month's presidential election.
France's Closer magazine let tells that the former supermodel was urged to practice 'total rest' throughout the pregnancy, noting that, "For several weeks people have been asking why she had not been able to shift the extra weight for her last baby. But we can now reveal Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is pregnant again. And with her stomach looking ever more round, she can no longer hide it."
The glossy continued its claim, telling, "She clearly wants to nurture this pregnancy with the utmost care, because, like the last one, it is later in life so all the riskier, and she has therefore been advised to take as much rest as possible. We wondered what the Sarkozy couple would do with themselves after leaving office, and now we know - play happy families!'

Showing off a make-up free face, Giuliana Rancic was spotted leaving Salon Benjamin after enjoying a day of pampering in West Hollywood, California on Friday (June 29).
The E! News anchor looked comfortable in baggy black sweater and a pair of bright red skinny jeans while heading out to her black Range Rover with her hair pulled back in a low ponytail.
Giuliana is expected to travel to London to cover the Olympics around the same time her husband, Bill Rancic will be traveling to London for business, and the soon-to-be mom recently joked that the trip will be their "Babymoon" because it will be their last trip before their baby is born.
"It's going to be such an incredible experience," Rancic tells Lifeline Live, "Bill has some work there, so he's going to be there for four or five days...I guess that's going to be our babymoon! I wish London was tomorrow, because then I would know the baby was right around the corner. I can't wait! ... We're already arguing over who gets to hold the baby first!"
And it seems as soon as baby Rancic is in her arms, her work will fall to second place for the first time in her life, "I am going to take a maternity leave for a couple of months. I'm so looking forward to it. I truly haven't had a real vacation in over 10 years, which is kind of scary," admits Giuliana. "I used to be notorious at E! -- I'm going into my tenth year here -- people would stop me in the elevator at E! and go, 'Are you the girl who never takes a vacation day?' And I was like, 'Yeah, that's me!' My bosses would be like, 'Please leave. Please go on vacation.'"
However when her son arrives at the "end of August, early September", Rancic says "it's not so much about scaling back (on work), but taking the baby everywhere."

Showing off her flawless figure, Irina Shayk attended a photo call for Morellato jewelry collection at the Miguel Angel Hotel in Madrid, Spain earlier this week (June 27).
The gorgeous supermodel looked breathtaking in a white mini dress that she paired with silver strappy heels as she struck a range of posed for the clamoring cameramen.
While Irina was hard at work in Madrid, her beau and international soccer stud, Cristiano Ronaldo, was having a little less of a picture perfect day at the Euro 2012 soccer championships in Donetsk, Ukraine.
The Portugal squad's captain helplessly stood by as he watched Spain take the victory from his team during a shootout. Ronaldo, who was set to kick fifth for his team, never even got the chance to score as Spain clinched the win by going up 4-2.

Kourtney Kardashian will welcome a daughter into the world any day now, but this just in: the reality star will NOT be participating in a natural water birth.
TMZ sources that Kardashian was considering this option because it's reportedly a more peaceful process for the child… but Kourtney then witnessed the event in action a couple days ago and reacted to it in disgust.
Kourtney allegedly told pals the entire thing was "horrific" and, without drugs administered to mother, "looked brutally painful," although we have to ask: Doesn't that description apply to dating Scott Disick as well?
In the end, Kardashian will simply go the route of Beyonce and Jessica Simpson and rent out a suite at a hospital, Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles to be exact. No word yet on how much she'll charge for the right to the first photos, but rest assured: it will be a lot.

Taking a break from her television production efforts to keep up on her physical fitness, Rihanna paid a visit to Fitness First gym in Central London on Thursday evening (June 28).
Clad in a black Adidas tracksuit and black Brooklyn hat with sunglasses and a gold chain, the 24-year-old singer signed autographs as she exited her hotel before making the short trip to the nearby gym.
The sweat session follows quite the ambitious previous night for RiRi, as she worked with Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts and fashion designer Henry Holland until the wee hours of the morning on her still unnamed Sky Living fashion show.
Tweeting about the endeavors once wrapped up, the "We Found Love" singer tweeted, "To my friends at Sky Living, thank you for working with me all the way til 5am this morning! I’m happy to be a part of the fam, WELL DONE!!"
Set to debut this fall, Rihanna's program will "give an insight into how the stylist-designer-musician collaboration works; for cover shoots, for tour wardrobes, within an musician’s specific image."

One day after receiving some disappointing news, David Beckham was back to work while practicing with the LA Galaxy in Los Angeles, California today (June 28).
Donning bright pink shoes with his blue Adidas jersey, the soccer stud ran up and down the field with his teammates before taking a break on a bench while perched alongside a large orange Gatorade jug.
As for the sad news, David was told that he did not make the cut for the British Olympic soccer team - which will compete next month during the London Olympics.
After learning he wouldn't be on the team, Beckham told the Associated Press, "Everyone knows how much playing for my country has always meant to me, so I would have been honored to have been part of this unique Team GB squad".
Even though he won't be joining the 18-man squad to represent his country, David - who carried the Olympic torch last month when it arrived in the UK- is holding no grudges, admitting, "Naturally I am very disappointed, but there will be no bigger supporter of the team than me. And like everyone, I will be hoping they can win the gold."

On her 'loud' personality: “I am quite loud and bolshie,” she says (British slang for unruly and clamorous). “I’m a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.” Indeed. There is no doubt when Adele is in the building. The rule of thumb for protecting one’s vocal cords, she tells me, is: If people are more than an arm’s length away, you shouldn’t talk to them. “But I am like, Wah! Wah! Wah!,” she says, laughing. “It’s really bad.”
On giving up drinking last May: “Don’t like drinking anymore. I think I got it out of my system. D’yaknowhaImean?”
On her vocal troubles: “I’ve been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I’ve had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.” She flew to London the next morning to see her doctor and was diagnosed with acute laryngitis. After a couple weeks’ rest, she continued her European tour, came to America, and then her voice went again in May. “That was a hemorrhage... a burst blood vessel on my vocal cord. That healed, I did a tour, and then it happened again at my best friend’s wedding on October 1.”
On getting support through her surgery from other artists: “John Mayer had it done at the same time as I did and he really helped me be chilled out about it. Roger Daltrey’s had loads of stuff done; Steven Tyler reached out; Elton John. Lots of artists have had problems with their voices, but you don’t know about it. And they are still singing incredibly well in their 50s and 60s.”
On her six Grammy nominations: “I burst into tears when I found out. And I would love, absolutely love, to win. This record is coming to an end, and that would be the final brick on it.” [gallery=821]

Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan and other starlets have proven that appearing in the men's mag can do wonders for buzz.
By John Mitchell
Jenny McCarthy on the cover of Playboy magazine

After flying a little lower on the celebrity radar, Jenny McCarthy has been grabbing headlines again for her upcoming Playboy cover. The TV personality and author is featured in the July/August issue in an eight-page spread she says she's "really proud of." But McCarthy is just the latest star to turn an appearance in the legendary men's magazine into genuine buzz.
The 39-year-old made her Playboy debut in 1993 and went on to become Playmate of the Year. Her star turn in the magazine soon caught the eye of MTV, who offered a much-sought-after co-host gig on the popular '90s dating show "Singled Out." Her effervescent personality made her a hosting favorite and she has continued her career in TV — she currently hosts NBC's "Love in the Wild" — though her focus has turned in recent years to her work as an activist for autism issues. The interest around her sixth pictorial is sure to put her firmly back in the conversation after years of being best known as Jim Carrey's former girlfriend and for her controversial stance on child immunization.
If past Playboy centerfolds are any indication, this pictorial may be only the opening salvo in a reinvigorated career. From Lindsay Lohan to Kim Kardashian, an appearance on the cover of Playboy proved to be just the shot in the arm some starlets' careers needed to get them back on track.
Kim Kardashian (2007)
Though she remains a divisive figure, Kardashian was known almost exclusively in late 2007 for one scandalous thing: her sex tape with Ray J. In October of that year, Kim, along with her very large and colorful family, debuted in E!'s "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," and one of the first topics the show dealt with was her decision to pose for the December 2007 issue of Playboy. The attention paid to Kim's cover drove ratings for the show through the roof and now, five long years later, "Keeping Up" and its many spin-offs remain tent-pole programming for E! Since first posing, Kim's decision to bare all has factored into yet another more recent episode of the show. Meanwhile, she and her family have started an empire, making millions licensing their image to myriad products and launching a clothing line and fragrances. Kim is even branching out into acting with a role in Tyler Perry's upcoming "The Marriage Counselor."
Drew Barrymore (1995)
Barrymore's may well be the exemplar of a career that was rescued after an appearance in the men's mag. The actress was the definition of trouble in the late-'80s and early '90s: She rebelled against her family publicly, her teenage private life was tabloid fodder and she was plagued by serious drug problems and a flagging career. But in January 1995, she posed for the magazine looking happy and healthy and announced she was ready to get serious. That same year, she earned raves for her turn in Oscar-nominated director Herbert Ross' "Boys on the Side" and followed it up with a role in Woody Allen's underrated musical "Everyone Says I Love You."
In '96, she shocked audiences in "Scream," and two years later she found herself headlining back-to-back hits "The Wedding Singer" and "Ever After." In the years since, she's emerged as one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood, directed a major film ("Whip It!") and even scored Golden Globe and SAG awards for her role in HBO's Emmy favorite "Grey Gardens."
Lindsay Lohan (2012)
Exactly where Lindsay Lohan is on her road to a comeback depends mostly on how you feel about Lindsay Lohan. Sure, her turn on "Saturday Night Live" wasn't acclaimed, but it brought in huge ratings. She's acting again, but her first big post-legal-troubles role is in a Lifetime movie, and there have been, ahem, issues. Yes, she's booked a role in a buzzed-about indie film written by Bret Easton Ellis ("American Psycho," "Less Than Zero") and directed by Paul Schrader (writer of "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull"), but she's co-starring with a porn star. How above board can that be?
Regardless of all that, the point is, Lindsay's trying, and it all began with the January/February 2012 double issue of Playboy. Lohan channeled Marilyn Monroe's old Hollywood glamour for the 10-page spread, which went on to be one of the magazine's biggest sellers in years, prompting the magazine to return to the presses after it sold out in many markets.
Chelsea Handler (2009)
Things were going far from badly for Chelsea Handler when she posed for Playboy's cover in December 2009. Indeed, with two best-selling books and a hit chat show on E!, things were pretty great. But looking back, the never-shy comedienne, who did not appear fully nude (only scantily clad) in her pictorial, has seen her career skyrocket so spectacularly in the years since that it's hard to not see the photo shoot and, perhaps more importantly, the attitude behind its conception, as the very thing that has put her where she is today.
Since 2009, her talk show's ratings have exploded, she's released two more books and been given her own publishing imprint. She co-starred, co-created and produced two sitcoms, launched a major stand-up tour and appeared on the big screen with Reese Witherspoon in the comedy "This Means War." She is a media empire of her own creation, with Time calling her one of its "100 Most Influential People in the World" this year.
Of course, this tactic doesn't always pan out. Hoping to capitalize on the celebrity she developed on MTV's "The Hills," Heidi Montag posed for the magazine's September 2009 issue. Just a few months later, her debut album, Superficial, badly failed to entice buyers, proving that the attention brought by a Playboy cover is really only useful when a star follows it up with something the public finds equally interesting.
Do you think Jenny McCarthy's Playboy pictorial will be good for her career? Let us know in the comments below!

Director Anthony Mandler talks to MTV News about Del Rey and A$AP Rocky's controversial new clip, which has them playing JFK and Jackie O.
By James Montgomery
Lana Del Rey and A$AP Rocky in the video for "National Anthem"
Photo:
Ever since Anthony Mandler wrapped production on Lana Del Rey's "National Anthem" video a month ago, he has spent just about every day trying to avoid talking about it ... mostly because he knew there'd be no shortage of folks doing just that when the clip premiered.
After all, the video — which premiered Wednesday (June 27) and features Del Rey in dual Jacqueline Kennedy/Marilyn Monroe roles and A$AP Rocky as John F. Kennedy — was seemingly destined to create conversation, if not controversy. But now that it's finally been unveiled, he's weighing in on the social and political contexts of the clip (from Portugal, via Skype) to MTV News.
"You see why I held back on talking about it; I didn't want to spoil anything. Anytime you're dealing with the American Camelot of the Kennedys, you're dealing with a packed powder keg," he said. "And really, what Lana was trying to do — this was her concept, she came to me with it, and I kind of dug it out with her — was really look and explore an archetype; just like Shakespeare wrote 'Romeo and Juliet,' and that became the archetype of the forbidden love story.
"And I think the Kennedy relationship, certainly the triangle of Marilyn Monroe and Jackie O and Jack Kennedy, became this kind of ideal of what seemed perfect from the outside was maybe rotting from the inside," he continued. "And Lana was really interested in exploring this loss of innocence, this idea that what you think you're experiencing is maybe not what it's always going to be. Because when you say 'Kennedy,' that immediately evokes something, just like when I say 'It's a Romeo and Juliet story.' So I think using that power, that pedigree of the story is a really fascinating place to show the loss of something, the breakdown of something."
Of course, building off that archetype, the "National Anthem" video takes the socially charged stance of re-imagining the main characters as an interracial couple. It was a decision that was bound to raise some eyebrows, which, according to Mandler, was precisely the point.
"We used the Kennedy framework to kind of implement this new Camelot, this racially diverse Camelot, this maybe socially diverse Camelot ... bringing it into the modern era, but still keeping that classic framework," he explained. "There's a kind of micro-commentary of 'This is the new royalty,' you know, A$AP and Lana, trying to pick two people to maybe represent the next generation of something. I think even with an African American president, it's still controversial to see him sitting and playing JFK, it's still taboo, even if it shouldn't be. You're kind of like 'Is this right or wrong? This feels very right, but also feels very wrong at the same time.' And I think in all of Lana's songs, and her image in general, and the person she is, it all fits in. It's kind of like there are two sides of a mirror, and you're not sure which side you're looking at."
And though he's aware the video may rankle some, Mandler wanted to make it clear that "National Anthem" isn't meant to disrespect the Kennedy legacy ... and to that end, he points to the climactic final scene, which re-enacts JFK's 1963 assassination, minus any of the grisly details. Because, to him, the video is less about reinterpreting history and as it is about examining loss, historical or otherwise.
"We didn't want it to be a mockery. How many artists and rappers and singers have you seen running around in badly fitted suits, acting like the president? And I think it may have worked with other people to mock, but that was not what we wanted; we want this to be very serious," he said. "The whole movie kind of hedges on the gunshot, it hedges on that close-up of the hand when the gunshot happens, and you don't see anything violent. What you're used to seeing with the Zapruder film, is this very kind of violent, destructive act; I didn't want to go anywhere near that.
"It was never about re-creating a death scene, it was always about the person sitting next to him," he continued. "It was always about seeing it through her eyes, seeing this kind of castle crumble in the moment, and that shot where she's coming up out of the car, and the pain in her eyes, that destruction, it's like the whole castle is crumbling around her. That's what we were going for."

'I don't think anyone gets tired of screaming girls,' Alex Pettyfer tells MTV News.

Oh, "Magic Mike" — we just can't seem to get enough info about this surprisingly complex comedy about male strippers.
The R-rated film is loosely based on star Channing Tatum's real-life stripper past, was directed by Oscar-winner Steven Soderbergh and features a very attractive ensemble cast including "True Blood" werewolf Joe Manganiello, "White Collar" star Matt Bomer, Alex Pettyfer and leading lady Cody Horn.
When MTV News caught up with the cast recently, we asked them to address the subject of male objectification and whether the guys felt any discomfort in playing sex objects or from all the screams and cat calls from the female extras in the audience for their stripping scenes.
"There's no such thing as male objectification, and I think that's what we're exposing with this movie," Manganiello said. "It doesn't exist. We really don't care. I think for the most part, it's just about having fun. It's like, 'Leave all that outside.' " "It's an interesting story to be a part of with an amazing director and a great cast that I've wanted to work with for a long time," Bomer added. "However that's going to be marketed and perceived is sort of out of our hands. We just had a great time telling the story."
"I want to be objectified, but I don't feel it," Pettyfer said.
Somehow, in the midst of all that unabashed admiration for their stripping, the guys just can't come to terms with any of that enthusiasm being negative, and we are almost inclined to agree. Relative newcomer Cody Horn, who plays Tatum's love interest and Pettyfer's sister in the film, offered an insightful perspective on the subject.
"They are objectified as a whole, as a group, but it was fun. It was fun as a girl to be a part of something that objectifies men," Horn said. "Because whether they know it or not, maybe that's just a testament to that they have no idea what it feels like. ... I think they had such fun doing it that it doesn't feel the same as when a woman is objectified."
"I don't think anyone gets tired of screaming girls," Pettyfer pointed out.
"It's high time that those tables be turned!" Bomer said.

Giving his new film “The Amazing Spider-Man” another plug, Andrew Garfield was spotted at “The Late Show with David Letterman” last night (June 26).
And while the “Social Network” stud chatted a bit about his movie, he really wanted to talk about his fellow guest, NBA Champion LeBron James.
Garfield began, “I know of LeBron... I was just thinking of how odd that life must be- of building up to one point and if you don’t win that thing, then what happens and how do you feel?”
“And if you do win it you’re defined by that, and if you don’t win it you’re defined by that, and then what happens...” he trailed off.
Letterman shot back, “As you know, sports have always been a metaphor for life itself, so it’s no different in sports than in life period. That’s why we love sports.”
