'Transformers' Star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Praises Michael Bay's Non-Stop Robot-Smashing Efforts
It's not easy being in the middle of the eternal conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons. And no, we're not talking about "Transformers" protagonist Sam Witwicky ? as tough as it's been for Shia LaBeouf's character throughout the blockbuster series, it's director Michael Bay who's really caught in the crossfire.

Snoop Dogg had just about finished wrapping his latest album, Doggumentary, before finishing up one last track. The California rapper and R. Kelly connected to record "Platinum," produced by Lex Luger (Jay-Z, Kanye West, Rick Ross).
The bouncy number featuring Snoop's smooth style and Kells' soaring vocals is now set to be his third single, following "New Year's Eve" and "Wet."
"That record got a lot of energy on it and it has a lot of feeling and emotion connected to it," Snoop told MTV News. "Whenever you play a record and you can get the whole room to either bounce to it or react to it as soon as it comes on, that's the feeling that you're looking for. It's a certain thing called 'magic' when you in the studio. And certain people know when they have that magic and they know when to let it go. That's why my career has been able to last for so long, because when I make that magic, I know when to let it go. Particularly singles that I drop that may not appease you in the beginning but by the time I'm finished doing what I'm doing, that single grows on you.
"You have to see that magic in the record before you hear it," he added.
Earlier this week, Snoop also talked about his career and how being flexible has allowed him to maintain his status in the game.
"I don't really think of it as reinventing myself, 'cause it's all within me," Snoop explained. "It's all who I am. It's more or less faces of Snoop Dogg or characters of Snoop Dogg that's in this one spirit. But at the same time, he's able to embellish different parts of the character to create this look, that style, that sound. But it's all the same. Because when I do it all at once, when I do a concept that has all the songs, I don't have enough time to change and act like this — it's still me."

Jamie Campbell Bower has played with wizards and been one evil vampire, but now the British heartthrob is set to play King Arthur. The "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" star is now going to "Camelot," in the Starz series named after the legendary literary location, which premieres Friday (April 1).
Bower stopped by the MTV News offices the day his show premiered to share a big tease that will certainly persuade his admirers to watch: "You are going to see my bum cheeks, which is very nice," he revealed, adding that he hopes no one will complain, "apart from my grandma."
"You will meet the characters that you know so well, but you will not see them in the same vein that you've seen them before. You will meet Arthur, who's a young boy living a very comfortable existence and then torn from that and taken to Camelot. You will meet Merlin (played by Joseph Fiennes); he doesn't have a pointy hat or a long white beard or a wand. And you will see the world that the show takes place in."
Bower plays the lead role in which so many thespians before him swung Excalibur. But he says the new show is a much more realistic take on the classic tale. "I suppose, being from England, I've grown up around the story most of my life. The Arthur and the Camelot story has been told many times, but I don't think it's been told in the same way," he said. "We're going for a reality and a humanism."
The story of Arthur and Camelot has been around for centuries, and it seems that, even in 2011, people don't seem to tire of the classic tale. "I think, underneath it all, there's that love story between Guinevere (played by Tamsin Egerton) and Arthur, and people are always drawn to a good love story, always drawn to that idea of love that cannot be, and that's something that our show definitely has," he explained. "I think people are very happy to be taken away from the mundane existence and thrown into this magical world."
