Rebecca Black's 'My Moment' Video: Frame By Frame
'Friday' star takes MTV News behind the scenes of the new clip for her inspirational single.

In Rebecca Black's new video for her single, "My Moment," the viral star gives fans a taste of what life has been like since her rise to fame.
In the video, Black takes fans behind the scenes, and when MTV News sat down with her, she took us behind the scenes of the clip itself, frame by frame.
The video opens with Rebecca in the recording studio, where she's putting the final touches on the inspiring song. "So it was really hard to shoot the first line 'cause I was supposed to be really serious and I'm not a serious person," she admitted. "Having to be kind of sullen was hard. I kept smiling 'cause I'm a natural smiler, if you haven't noticed."
The studio used in the video was especially important to the young star since it turns out one of pop's greatest idols once recorded there. "It was great to be in that studio 'cause that was where Michael Jackson recorded 'We Are the World.' "
Fans who've seen the video know it's a mix of celebrity moments and teen moments. Black explained, "I still like all the school footage that we put in," pointing to a montage of her friends. "It was me having fun with my family and friends."
Black also danced a little in the video, thanks to some help from a few recognizable faces. "It was really amazing doing the dancing; a lot of the dancers were from 'So You Think You Can Dance,' " she said of Robert Roldan and Kent Boyd from the hit Fox show. "And I watch that show [so] I was intimidated at first. It was great to be around people that like what you like."
The video concludes with Black making her way to a red-carpet affair, where her name lights up the marquee. "When I was in front of all the flashing lights, it was crazy commotion," she said, adding that she hopes her fans see that while red carpets are a part of the job, it's definitely fun too. "These celebrities get lost in the whole world of fame, [and the video is to] show people how I stay grounded myself."
What's your favorite part of Rebecca's "My Moment" video? Let us know in the comments!

'Breaking Dawn' Stars Recall Mud And Cold During Wedding Scene
'It was picture-perfect,' Ashley Greene says of the shoot, despite trying conditions.

As anticipation for the wedding scene in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1" continues to build, it's hard to imagine it could possibly live up to the high expectations of "Twilight" fans. But the saga's stars assure us that it will, in fact, be a spectacle worthy of Bella and Edward, even if it didn't always look that way when they were filming it.
"Have you ever been to an awards show and you're like, 'Wow, on TV that looks much bigger, but then this is just sort of life that we're living?' " Nikki Reed asked when MTV caught up with her at San Diego Comic-Con. "We were shooting [the wedding], and I remember thinking that. I remember going, 'When I see this onscreen, it is going to feel epic. But I know what it's like to be here right now.' "
Since the wedding was filmed in Vancouver, a place whose weather mirrors the Washington location in the books, it was freezing and wet on the set. Reed said that the ladies' stilettos got stuck in the mud, and the hems of their gowns got dirty while shooting the outdoor sequence.
"There were really beautiful elements to it," Ashley Greene added. "Like, if you took out the fact that it was so cold and just looked at it like a picture, it was picture-perfect."
Fortunately, Greene at least got a chance to contribute to the final design for her bridesmaids dress. She and director Bill Condon exchanged ideas back and forth until they finally decided on a look for her fashionista character Alice.
"[Alice] is from the 1920s-ish, and so I thought her dress should have a little bit of that feel," Greene explained. "Other people had different visions, so we kind of put everything together, and I think it's something that you haven't seen before."
Fans already got a glimpse of the wedding in the "Breaking Dawn" theatrical trailer that premiered during the MTV Movie Awards, but we'll have to wait until November to see it in all its glory.

Justin Bieber Urges Fans Not To Text And Drive
Pop star joins new campaign to encourage fans to download PhoneGuard app that locks smartphone when car is in motion.

Justin Bieber likely spends way more time on private jets and international flights than behind the wheel of a car. But the teen pop sensation knows one thing about driving: You shouldn't text when you're behind the wheel. That's why Bieber, 17, has signed on to a campaign urging his fans to lay off the smartphone while they drive.
"We need to change the attitudes in our society toward texting and driving and I am making it one of my personal goals to make this happen," said Bieber in a statement released as part of his endorsement of PhoneGuard's Drive Safe software, which disables the texting, email and keyboard functions of mobile phones while a car is in motion. "Every night we perform, we have a banner that goes up that says 'Don't Text and Drive' so it really means a lot to me," he said.
Bieber has been pushing his fans to give up texting while driving since earlier this year when he made a surprise appearance on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" to promote the efforts of Wellman, Texas' Brown family, who have been raising awareness about the dangers of the practice since their daughter, Alex, was killed in a texting-while-driving incident. Bieber's anti-texting campaign will provide some funds to the Remember Alex Brown Foundation charity.
The singer joins a number of other major figures who've been working to get the word out about the dangerous practice, including the Jonas Brothers, who have been outspoken advocates with Allstate's "X the Text" campaign. Others who've signed on for that effort include former "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks and "Camp Rock" star Meaghan Martin. "Glee" actress Jane Lynch has also filmed public service announcements, as her TV alter ego Sue Sylvester, on behalf of LG Mobile Phones to highlight the dangers of texting while driving.
Among the biggest names to endorse the end of the practice is Oprah Winfrey, who has been asking her followers to take the No Phone Zone Pledge since 2009, in which more than 423,000 people to date have vowed not to text while behind the wheel.

'Breaking Dawn' Birth Scene Will Be 'Visceral Experience' For Fans
'I gave myself one real rule, which was, 'Let's only see what Bella could see lying there,' director Bill Condon tells MTV News.
By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz

For the dedicated "Twilight" fans out there, every bit of news about the impending release of "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" is cause for celebration. For the more discerning fans that have read (and re-read) the book upon which the films are based, however, there are four key scenes considered among the most anticipated: Bella and Edward's wedding, the couple's honeymoon, Jacob's imprinting and the birth of Renesmee Cullen.
When MTV News caught up with director Bill Condon at this year's Comic-Con, we asked him, specifically, how he tackled the complicated sequence that some have described as "Rosemary's Baby"-esque.
"I gave myself one real rule, which was, 'Let's only see what Bella could see lying there,' " he explained. "All this stuff is happening [around her] and she is seeing it from her point of view. She can look around, she can look up, but basically you get to experience every moment of that birth, including if you read the book — you know exactly what that image means. If you haven't read the book, you might not know because it's not being absolutely explicit."
Nevertheless, Condon promised that fans will be satisfied by how they approached the birth scene. "It's not putting the camera in every place but believe me, I think you'll get a very visceral experience."
During the "Breaking Dawn" press conference at Comic-Con, Kristen Stewart also commented on the much-discussed scene. She explained that although that part is one of her favorites in the book, things got a little awkward on set since the baby used in the movie was animatronic and bore a strong resemblance to Chuckie from the horror flick "Child's Play."
"[The puppeteer] is sweating right below my eye line, trying to [reach] up to get the [animatronic baby's] hand up to touch your face," Stewart recalled. "And then it sticks to your hair and pulls a little bit and you're like, 'Ew, get that thing off me! Get me a real baby, this is ridiculous!' " she said. "And it had hair!"
"If you've ever seen a baby with a wig on," Robert Pattinson added. "[It] looked like a little troll on a stick."

Joe Jonas Wants To Hit The Road With Chris Brown

Joe Jonas was once a curly-haired kid from New Jersey who sang bubblegum pop/rock songs about puppy love with his brothers. Well, he's grown up a lot since then. He chopped off his hair and, on his first-ever solo album, Fast Life, he's opening up about falling in and out of love.
And in August, the middle JoBro turns a very grown-up 22. So, what does he have planned for the big day?
"I don't have any birthday plans yet, actually," he told MTV News recently. "I don't even know where we're going to be because we're trying to figure out a touring situation right now and it either looks like I'm going on my tour, my own tour, or opening up for somebody, supporting somebody on tour."
While his plans are still to be determined, he was sure of one thing: "Wherever I am, there will be a party and it will be fun."
Speaking of tours, Joe was once rumored to be hitting the road with Britney Spears on her now all-female Femme Fatale trek. Those plans didn't pan out, of course, and now he's looking to hook up with someone else on the road. Joe even shared his dream tourmate with us.
"My dream list, wow ... I mean, doing a tour with Chris would be cool," he said of Chris Brown, who helped the singer pen his first single, "See No More." "I feel like, musically, we both have the same sounds and we liked working together, so I can see it working."
Joe's album drops in September, and he told us that he's not holding back on it. "It was scary in the beginning," he said of doing a solo LP, "just because I knew this is my one opportunity to show people my journal: the good and bad of every relationship I've been in, you know, [and] what I look for [in relationships]," he explained.

SAN DIEGO — After taking last year off from San Diego Comic-Con, the cast of the "Twilight Saga" returned to the famed pop-culture extravaganza in a very big way. There was new "Breaking Dawn" footage screened before a crowd of 6,000, food gifts presented to fans via the castmembers themselves and talk of the awkwardness involved in filming sex scenes.
It was a lot to take in. Here is our list of the top five "Twilight"-themed moments witnessed during SDCC 2011:
Castmembers Treat Fans to Breakfast
"Twilight" fans are known for their extreme loyalty and passion for the film franchise and its stars. As such, every time the cast has made the trek to San Diego for an appearance, thousands of fans line up outside the Con's famous Hall H — many of whom camp out for days ahead of time.
This year, castmembers Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, Elizabeth Reaser, Booboo Stewart and Julia Jones surprised a bunch of lucky fans with an early-morning wake-up call that included a gift of muffins and fruit.
Wedding Scene Was Filmed "Secret-Service Style"
As much as they can, the "Breaking Dawn" cast and crew try to keep spoilers and set photos from being snapped and released on the Internet. But nothing has been as secretive and protected as Bella's wedding dress. Kristen Stewart explained the great lengths that were taken during filming.
"The wedding was secret-service style. It was insane. The crew was completely inconvenienced and grumbling around set," she said at the "Breaking Dawn" press conference at San Diego Comic-Con. Stewart didn't let their efforts go unnoticed. "You don't understand what this means to us," she told the security team. "If this dress gets on the Internet, I'll die."
Bella and Edward's Baby Terrified Its Onscreen Parents
There has been much ado about the "Rosemary's Baby"-esque birthing scene Stephenie Meyer wrote in "Breaking Dawn." Specifically, the end of that scene when Bella brings a half-human, half-vampire baby into the world. According to the scene's key participants, Stewart and Robert Pattinson, what should have been warm and fuzzy was actually horrifying.
"We had an animatronic baby, the scene where [Bella] had to be introduced to the baby for the first time," Pattinson explained during Thursday's press conference.
Stewart explained that although the scene is one of her favorites in the book, the fact that the baby bore more of a resemblance to Chuckie from "Child's Play" than a real newborn made the scene a bit awkward.
"[The puppeteer] is sweating right below my eyeline, trying to [reach] up to get the [animatronic baby's] hand up to touch your face," Stewart recalled. "And then it sticks to your hair and pulls a little bit and you're like, 'Ew, get that thing off me! Get me a real baby, this is ridiculous!' " she said. "And it had hair!"
"If you've ever seen a baby with a wig on ...," Pattinson offered. "[It] looked like a little troll on a stick."
Seven-Minute Clip Teases "Honeymoon" Scene
Of all the scenes fans are most looking forward to seeing in "Breaking Dawn," the honeymoon scene is at the top of the list. And the lucky 6,000 fans who attended the film's panel Thursday were treated to a steamy sneak peek, along with about seven minutes of new footage from the film.
Pattinson told us the key to getting around the awkwardness involved in filming that scene was to go for it.
"You just get lubed up and jump right into it!" RPattz joked. "You have to have some tantric breathing and stuff."
Pattinson Likens Himself to Processed Meat
Speaking of brilliant Pattinson quotes, one of our favorites occurred when the heartthrob had to address appearing shirtless on camera.
"The thing I was most nervous about was taking my shirt off," Pattinson said of which scenes he was most anxious about.
"I don't want to get anyone's hopes up," Pattinson self-deprecatingly added, referring to what fans will see of his torso in the film and preview footage. "I look like an inflatable frankfurter in some of those [scenes]."

Chris Brown, Busta Rhymes Rip Avant-Garde BET Awards Performance
Breezy and Buss hit the stage with 'Look At Me Now,' 'She Ain't You' and 'Paper, Scissors, Rock.'
By Mawuse Ziegbe

Chris Brown's emotional performance at last year's BET Awards turned out to be a turning point in the singer's once-ailing career, and with his 2011 performance Breezy is reveling in his hard-won fame.
Following a heartfelt, off-prompter intro by host Kevin Hart, Breezy kicked things off with his Michael Jackson-sampling jam "She Ain't You." The singer took the stage on a raised platform in the middle of the stage surrounded by a cluster of monitors splashed with psychedelic designs. Breezy worked the midtempo hit in an avant-garde gray suit with voluminous pant legs and a cape fashioned out of a jacket. But the F.A.M.E. singer ditched the fashion-forward ensemble in favor of a black jumpsuit to helm his woozy, Diplo-produced banger, "Look At Me Now," as a crew of dancers in similarly street black hoodies joined him onstage.
Then Busta Rhymes emerged from a brightly lit cube flanked by dancers in eerie, transparent masks illuminated by blinking lights. The Back on My B.S. lyricist wowed the Shrine with his legendary, breathless, rapid-fire flow — much of which was obscured by super-cautious censors — sporting a unique, black jacket with enormous, ridged sleeves. After ripping his verse, the MC dropped the mic and walked off. Breezy took back the stage for his F.A.M.E. cut "Paper, Scissors, Rock," busting out some agile choreography and finishing up the performance with an athletic flip off the stage.
When speaking to MTV News earlier this year about how the all-star collabo came together, beatsmith Afrojack gave snaps to Busta's hypnotic flow.
"Busta's verse on it is really sick," he said. "It's like I can't even hear what he said, but I love the part where he goes [mimics Busta's rapid flow], and then pauses and goes rapping really quickly. And I don't know how to do it, I don't even try. But it was really, really cool."
The bigwigs at BET are also clearly feeling Breezy's chart-topper. "Look at Me Now" took the Best Collaboration award directly after the set.

Eminem Surprised Jim Jonsin By Making 'Space Bound' A Single
Producer tells MTV News of sending track to Em, in Mixtape Daily.

Before Eminem could make the heart-wrenching "Space Bound" a hit single, the song's producer, Jim Jonsin, had to rework the track, which he had previously recorded with British songwriter Steve McEwan.
"It was actually a full song with verses, b-section, chorus," Jonsin told MTV News of the original Eminem-less version.
"Me and Steve McEwan actually wrote the song, we actually did it here in New York on guitar — it was just a guitar vocal on an iPhone," the multiplatinum producer said. "We took the idea later in Miami, like three months after, and produced the track, and we sent it out to Eminem to see what he thought about it. He loved it. So he interpreted it his own way."
The initial concept remained mostly intact, and the song's chorus acted as a guide for the Detroit MC to add his own twist. "The chorus was based off of a chase, a guy who's chasing after a woman that he's crazy about," Jonsin said of the theme. "He loves her; she's everything to him. I'm a rocket ship aiming at her heart, her heart's the moon — I'm going full-on."
It was Jonsin's manager who suggested that he send the track to Slim Shady, which he did, even though he didn't believe anything would come of it. "He had me strip down the verses, take them out, and make the track a little more hip-hop, and he sent it out," he said. "I didn't really believe that it would end up on Eminem's album, let alone be a single."
The video for "Space Bound," now the fourth single off of Em's multiplatinum 2010 Recovery album, was released last week on iTunes. The clip, which stars ex-porn actress Sasha Grey, depicts a rocky romance that eventually leads the rapper to kill himself with a single shot to the head.
