Source: Eva Longoria Has No Plans to Adopt
In the midst of her divorce from Tony Parker, it seems that Eva Longoria has enough to deal with right now -- without bringing a baby into her life. Despite reports over the weekend that the Desperate Housewives star had plans to adopt a child, a source close to the actress says the talk is simply not true.
Friends say Longoria, 35, is "devastated" by the end of her marriage and has been looking to the people closest to her to get through this tough time.
"She is simply heartbroken," a friend told People.com. "She really wishes Tony the best. She just wants this whole situation to be as peaceful as it can be under the circumstances. He's a good person at heart, and she wants the best for him."
Longoria filed for divorce from Parker, 28, on Nov. 17, reportedly after discovering hundreds of sexy text messages between her husband and a former teammate's wife.

After Justin Bieber took home four trophies at the American Music Awards, including Artist of the Year, it was pretty clear that the music industry had caught Bieber Fever. And when MTV News caught up with some of the night's winners, nominees and attendees they all admitted that Bieber is the hottest guy in the game right now.
"I just think it's just insane kids are just Justin Bieber in-fevered," Taio Cruz joked to MTV News on the AMA red carpet. "And they love him, but they love us all, though."
Producer and songwriter Sean Garrett said Bieber is winning the guys over because he's won so many of the ladies over. "He just kind of came out of nowhere," Garrett said of Bieber. "He's excited. He's the youngest in charge, and he's definitely got the ladies."
Muse drummer Dom Howard confessed that, while Bieber is not a boy, not yet a man, he's still got that something. "Tonight he's won all the awards even though he's not quite a man yet," Howard said. "Boy of the year!"
Similarly, "Jersey Shore" star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino said Bieber was the highlight of the show, thanks to his performance of "Pray." "You know what? Bieber's doing his thing," Sitch said.
For crooner Michael Bublé, it was about who was selling more — which he says is probably the both of them. "I'm better than everyone else, and also I'm humble and good-looking and smart and rich and humble, but really humble," he joked. "I don't know [who sells more]. I think it's probably pretty close."

Ryan Seacrest & Julianne Hough Spend Thanksgiving in Paris
Looks like it's getting serious for Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough! The cute couple kicked off the holiday season by spending Thanksgiving in Paris with Seacrest's family. Joined by his mom and two sisters, the twosome has been making the most of their time in the City of Lights, hitting up art galleries, shops, and restaurants.
There's "nothing extravagant about them, no airs," an employee of Restaurant Frederic Simonin told People.com of Seacrest and Hough and their loved ones. "They all shared dishes and tried things from each other."
The couple, who have been dating since the summer, are also soaking up the romance of Paris, as they have been seen strolling through the streets hand-in-hand, and kissing and cuddling out on the balcony of their hotel.
As for how Hough is meshing with Seacrest's family, well, it seems the Burlesque star is a hit. "Ryan's parents adore her," an insider recently told PopEater.com. "She is smart, beautiful and funny but even more important, she has made their son happy. Now, they are just waiting for him to pop the question."

Thanksgiving Themed TV Episodes
TV sitcom writers love Thanksgiving. Think of all the jokes that come from sticking ornery family members together! How could you not find the funny in a novice cook squaring off against a ten-pound turkey? Oh, the things that could go wrong!
In years past, the Thanksgiving season inspired the writers of Friends to put turkey heads on Monica (Courteney Cox) and Joey (Matt LeBlanc). The Seinfeld writers poked fun at the Thanksgiving Day parade by having Jerry poke a hole in the Woody Woodpecker float. And on How I Met Your Mother, Marshall (Jason Segel) reached across the Thanksgiving dinner table to smack Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), and the whole gang gathered around the piano to sing a song about it. (The slap, that is.)
Everybody Loves Raymond (9 p.m., TV Land) Four Thanksgiving-themed episodes will run, including the one with the tofu turkey.
Cougar Town (9:30 p.m., ABC): Jules uses Thanksgiving dinner to get an "I love you" out of Grayson.
Roseanne (11 p.m., TV Land): Four consecutive ep isodes of Thanksgiving-themed, dysfunctional family drama, including the year "when [Roseanne's] father is spending Thanksgiving with his girlfriend."
Better With You (8:30 p.m., ABC) : Everyone's hoping that this year, Vickey's (Debra Jo Rupp) turkey won't taste like "a car accident in your mouth."

Kanye West, Justin Bieber Join Tradition Of Mega-Release Weeks
This isn't the first time labels have loaded the shelves with new releases all at once.

The sheer volume of mainstream albums dropping this week makes our head spin like that ancient artifact, the vinyl record. Monday saw the release of Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday, Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Ke$ha's Cannibal, Jay-Z's The Hits Collection Vol. 1, Lloyd Banks' Hunger for More 2 and My Chemical Romance's Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. And Friday is the big day for Justin Bieber's My Worlds Acoustic.
Many may wonder why the bigwigs of the music industry would put out such a gargantuan selection all at once. But there's a precedent for this kind of strategy. In fact, music lovers have been through this very same overload dilemma a handful of times over the last decade. Here's a look back at some of them:
September 11, 2001 became a national tragedy, though it was supposed to be a huge day for the music business. Mariah Carey's "Glitter" soundtrack, Jay-Z's Blueprint, Bob Dylan's Love and Theft, Ben Folds' Rockin' the Suburbs, Nickelback's Silver Side Up and P.O.D.'s Satellite were among the many albums that were released at the beginning of the week.
November 18, 2003 marked the start to one of the year's biggest music release weeks. The range of albums seemed to hit every demographic imaginable. Releases included Britney Spears' In the Zone, Blink-182's self-titled fifth studio album, Timbaland & Magoo's Under Construction, Part II, Christmas albums from Whitey Houston and Ashanti, compilations from Michael Jackson, Moby and Joe Satriani, and live albums/DVDs from Dave Matthews Band and Linkin Park.
Following the pattern of Thanksgiving week album releases, November 22, 2004 began another big week. Two "American Idol" winners, Fantasia and Ruben Studdard went head-to-head with Free Yourself and I Need an Angel, respectively. The shelves were also packed with U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, Gwen Stefani's solo debut Love. Angel. Music. Baby., as well as other releases from Creed, Anthrax, Evanescence, Nirvana and Jessica Simpson.
September 12, 2006 was the drop date of Justin Timberlake's second solo album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, which produced five smash hit singles. That week John Mayer's Continuum and Bob Seger's Face the Promise were released, and both eventually went platinum. Other albums and compilations came from the Mars Volta, Papa Roach, Lionel Richie, Veruca Salt, Everclear, and the Barenaked Ladies.
On September 11, 2007 after threatening to retire from music if his album Curtis was outsold, 50 Cent came in second to Kanye West's Graduation. And though he wasn't included in the 50 Cent Challenge, Kenny Chesney's Just Who I Am: Pirates and Poets was released the same day and sold very well. The date also marked the release of Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam, which didn't exactly pose a threat.
One of the wildest weeks of 2009's album drop calendar was easily that of November 16. Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster, Justin Bieber's My World, Leona Lewis' Echo, OneRepublic's Waking Up, Kris Allen's self-titled debut, Norah Jones' The Fall, and compilations from both Janet Jackson and Fall Out Boy were some of the new additions to the music scene.
Which new albums are you buying this week? Talk about it in the comments!
Open the floodgates! It's Mega-Release Week, with Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, Ke$ha, My Chemical Romance and Lloyd Banks all dropping new albums. Stick with MTV News for everything you need to know about the brand-new music.

Prior to heading over the pond, Justin made a promotional stop on Friday (November 26) to promote his memoir "Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever" at New York's Barnes & Noble store.
Tweeting about the visit, Bieber wrote, "my fans are the most loyal passionate people ever. Super Grateful. thank u. We got alot more people to see... im not leaving until i keep my promise. thanks for everyone being so cool."

Ke$ha Loses Her Mind On 'Blow'
Latest electro-dance track from Cannibal hits the Net.

Ke$ha is ready to party again. The latest track from Cannibal, "Blow," has hit the Internet, the fourth song from the November 22 EP to do so.
So what do fans get this time around? Well, Ke$ha kicks off the dark, electro track with a big laugh and a command to "party." Razor-edged synths kick in over a super-thumping beat as the singer and her pals, who happen to be "pretty and sick" and "young and bored," get ready to dance in a crash pad that has "dirt and glitter" covering the floor.
Ke$ha's Auto-Tuned yodeling comes over the beat as she proclaims, "This place about to blow," during the song's scream-along party-anthem chorus. The song has many of the elements of a Ke$ha tune — carpe diem attitude and grinding beats — but it also shows the darker side of the singer with lyrics like: "We get what we want/ We do what you don't." The song's mantra is pretty much summed up in one of the song's choice lines: "It's time to lose your mind and let the crazy out."
Ke$ha is a maneater on "Cannibal," empowers her fans on "We R Who We R" and disses a potential lover on the grimy track "Sleazy."
"This year has been carnivorous and life-changing. I have my rowdy, gorgeous fans to thank for taking me on the ride of a lifetime," the pop star said in a statement. "My only goal with this record is to keep them dancing. The songs on Cannibal were made to inspire people to ignore any hate or judgment and be themselves unapologetically. It's the perfect companion to Animal and I hope you guys like it. And if you don't like it — bite me."

Beyonce Says She Takes Pregnancy Rumors In Stride
'I just hope that one day, when I decide to be pregnant that people are happy for me,' superstar jokes about year-round bump-watch.

In 2010 alone, Beyoncé was pregnant at least twice, if you believe the rumors.
While the singer shot down the talk both times, she says that at this point she's pretty much to used to people speculating about potential baby bumps. "I mean, it's a part of it. At this point they said I've been pregnant like eight times, so I'm kind of used to it," Beyoncé told MTV News at a screening for her concert DVD, "I Am ... World Tour," in New York City.
"I just hope that one day, when I decide to be pregnant that people are happy for me, 'cause I'm like gosh, like, everyone's like, 'Oh god, please! She's been pregnant 100 times.' One day, hopefully, I will be. So whatever; it's a part of being a celebrity, I guess."
Her mom, Tina Knowles, was also at the screening and when asked if she thought that 2011 might be the year we give up gossiping about Bey's pregnancy status, she played it cool. "You have to ask her those personal things," she said. "I don't know!"
But Tina was also the lady to shoot down the baby-bump rumors last month when she sat down with talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres.
"I heard that, but I'm here to clear the rumors up. The truth is it's not Beyoncé that's pregnant, it's me," she joked. "No, it's not true. Not right now. I'm looking forward to it. With all the rumors, by now I should have about five or six grandchildren."

Justin Bieber Posts 'It Gets Better' Video
'I just wanted to say there's nothing cool about being a bully,' singer says.

Justin Bieber has joined the ranks of stars speaking out against bullying. The 16-year-old American Music Award-winning singer recently spoke to talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres about his own bullying experience, and in an "It Gets Better" clip that debuted on DeGeneres' site on Monday, he urged his fans to take action if they see someone being bullied.
In the 20-second video, Bieber, wearing a black T-shirt and backward black baseball cap, says, "Hey guys, I'm Justin Bieber. I just wanted to say there's nothing cool about being a bully. And if you're getting bullied, make sure to tell someone and, you know, it gets better. And if you're a bystander, make sure to step in and, you know, help out."
The clip appeared to have been filmed during Bieber's appearance on DeGeneres' show earlier this month, when he discussed his own experiences with bullying.
"Everybody goes through bullying," he said on the show. "Everybody has, even me. On my YouTube page, there are so many haters. They just say crazy stuff. Like, I'm not mad, I'm 16 and I don't have chest hair. I'm not angry about it at the moment. That will come. People are like, 'Look at him, he puts helium in his voice before he sings.' You just have to laugh at yourself. It's funny." His appearance on the show came shortly after he was reportedly bullied while playing laser tag in Canada in October.
Bieber also had a similar message for those who see bullying going on around them. "There are so many bullies. It goes on so much," he told DeGeneres. "I think that you should ... especially if you are a bystander, you definitely should help out because it could be you next."
In the laser-tag incident last month, a 12-year-old boy allegedly used an anti-gay slur against Bieber after overzealously targeting the "Baby" singer during a heated match.
Bieber joins a long list of stars and politicians who have joined the "It Gets Better" anti-bullying campaign, including President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, Adam Lambert, Aubrey O'Day, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington and Katy Perry, who dedicated her "Firework" clip to the campaign.

'Dancing with the Stars': Which Celebs Should Dance Next Season?
Sure, it hasn't even been 24 hours since Season 11 of Dancing with the Stars ended -- but like Christmas music on the radio, speculation about next season's dancers always starts early!
Here are three celebs that the producers may already be sizing up for Season 12:
1. Christine O'Donnell
Bristol Palin may have been a controversial candidate this season, but all that attention was great for the show's ratings. Rumor has it that Tea Party darling Christine O'Donnell is being considered for next season -- and that the idea was floated by none other than Sarah Palin herself.
2. Portia de Rossi
DWTS producers are reportedly considering same-sex dance pairings in Season 12 -- and Portia de Rossi may take them up on it. Wife Ellen DeGeneres acknowledged the possibility on a November episode of her talk show.
3. Jodie Sweetin
The former Full House cast member is openly gunning for a spot on the show. Her boyfriend even started a Twitter campaign on her behalf! With her child-star fame and inspiring story of sobriety, she seems like a candidate worth considering.
Of course, the internet has no shortage of viewer suggestions for next season's dancers. On Facebook alone, fans are currently nominating Pee-wee Herman, HGTV's David Bromstad, Captain Sig Hansen from Deadliest Catch, Jade from RuPaul's Drag Race, Sell This House host Tanya Memme, and of course, Justin Bieber. As for us? We're still holding out hope for Snooki!

Justin Bieber's New 'Never Say Never' Trailer Plays Up 3-D

In October, Justin Bieber debuted the first trailer for his February 3-D flick "Never Say Never." And on Monday (November 22), just one day after his big night at the AMAs, a new trailer for the flick hit the Internet.
The sneak peek opens with classical music playing as the screen reads, "This Valentine's Day," over an image of Bieber. Soon, the singer is spraying silly string as the screen reads, "See Bieber like never before." Then, Bieber throws popcorn at the camera — all tricks to play up the film being in 3-D.
Soon, a montage of Bieber as a kid flashes across the screen along with concert video and behind-the-scenes footage of the singer with various people in Bieber's camp sharing tidbits about the singer, including "He could really be huge, if he wanted" and "He's 16, and he's doing it all on his own."
At the end of the trailer, Bieber is seen learning about the cameras used to shoot his 3-D flick as he sticks out 3-D glasses and looks into a screen seeing what the 3-D will look like. "That's sick, right?" he says. "It looks like it's about to hit that guy in the head."
It was just announced that fans can catch a sneak-peek screening of the film February 9, two days before it officially hits theaters. They'll be surprised just to see I'm a regular person," he said. "I'm a regular teenage boy. I like girls, and I like to hang out with my friends. It's gonna be taking them into my world, but also like it's their world, 'cause it's just normal."

THG Presents: The 10 Biggest Turkeys of 2010
Happy Thanksgiving to all from The Hollywood Gossip!
What would this holiday be without family, food, football and reflection upon the things we appreciate most ... in the case of THG, that means some of the bird-brained celebs we've had the privilege of covering in the past year.
Without further ado, THG's Top 10 Turkeys of '10 ...
We may rename this the Spencer Pratt Thanksgiving Turkey Award.
10. Barack Obama. The good will and immense popularity enjoyed by the President at the start of his White House term eroded fast, leaving in its wake a deeply polarized electorate and a Congress destined for partisan gridlock.
9. Jake Pavelka. Lame stints on The Bachelorette, The Bachelor and DWTS were enough to overcook this turkey, but his televised breakup special with fake fiancee Vienna Girardi was the year's reality TV douchepocalypse.
8. The Kardashians. Sure, they're harmless, but there's so darn many of these girls. Mix in a hearty helping of Scott Disick and we're just burned out.
7. LeBron James. The NBA's best player, who has never won a title, made this summer all about him and his decision on where to play next year. A "decision" that marked the most absurd, narcissistic, self-serving stunts in sports history.
6. Spencer Pratt. He's fallen off from 2008's Top Turkey status, but he's got staying power. Faking a divorce, getting married for a third time in as many years, blowing through $10 million and turning into a mountain man? Impressive.
5. Dancing With the Stars voters. Bristol Palin? Seriously people?
4. Lindsay Lohan. The definition of train wreck. Second only to ...
3. Charlie Sheen. His violent altercation with wife Brooke Mueller last Christmas combined with Capri Anderson dalliances this fall? Quite a year for Charlie.
2. Mel Gibson. Why? Just listen to his rants. Wow.
1. Tiger Woods. Today, or more accurately early tomorrow morning, is the anniversary of Tiger's car (and image) crash, following a blowout with Elin Nordegren, who learned of his affair with Rachel Uchitel and took a 9-iron to his face.
The months that followed revealed additional mistresses, worried voicemails, nasty text messages, sordid fantasies, ridiculous rumors and bad golf. It's a scandal that may never be equaled, and certainly worthy of Top Turkey billing.
If nothing else ... Tiger Woods' Thanksgiving can't be worse than last year's.

Jessica Simpson, Rihanna, Mandy Moore: Babies Can Wait!
Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore and Rihanna are all planning on becoming moms -- but only when the time is right! In three separate interviews this week, the pop stars all expressed their desire to have kids in the not-too-distant future.
Jessica Simpson, 30, tells Access Hollywood that she can "definitely see myself having a family" with new fiance Eric Johnson, but that they "really haven't talked much about it" yet.
Mandy Moore, 26 -- who lends her voice to the princess in the new Disney film Tangled -- tells E! that she "will definitely have a family" with rocker husband Ryan Adams.
Rihanna, 22, has been dating Dodgers player Matt Kemp since January, and she tells Interview Magazine that she'll have a baby whenever it feels right: "It could be a year from now. It could be ten years from now."
Why all the talk about babies this week? Maybe it has something to do with fellow pop princess Pink, 31, announcing that she and hubby Carey Hart are expecting. What's cool, though, is that all these musicians plan to have babies -- but none of them feel pressured to choose between baby and career. That must be a sign of progress, right?
Those three ladies would do well to take a cue from Pink, who's already got a plan in motion: she tells the Associated Press that "as soon as the baby can say 'mama,' I'm going on the road. We are going to be a traveling family gypsy band with garlands in our hair." Sounds like a pretty amazing childhood to us!

Jay-Z Talks Tupac, Beyonce During Charlie Rose Interview
Rapper chides veteran talk-show host for mispronouncing Tupac's name.

BROOKLYN, New York — Jay-Z's new book, "Decoded," may be about translating the lyrics in his songs, but when the iconic MC sat down with talk-show host Charlie Rose, he promised to "decode" everything.
Rose interviewed the rapper on Thursday before an audience at the Brooklyn Museum for a future episode of his PBS program, and the pair touched on much more than music.
With Beyoncé, his mother and other family members seated in the front row, Jay-Z held court on an array of topics, including Tupac Shakur, his arrest for stabbing a record executive and his drug-dealing past.
"Did you ever do the drugs?" Rose asked the Roc Nation boss.
"Crack cocaine," Jay responded, drawing laughs from the audience. "C'mon, man. That's hard-core, man. Maybe a little weed. A Ballantine Ale. Or a Guinness Stout."
"Decoded," Jay-Z's first book, is part memoir and part deconstruction of his lyrics, which have helped to garner more #1 albums than any solo artist in history.
Sporting a gray blazer, black v-neck sweater, dark denim jeans and designer kicks, Jay-Z was casual and charismatic throughout the evening.
When Rose mispronounced Tupac's name, the rapper humorously chided the talk-show host.
"If it was Tupac," Jay said, pronouncing it "two-pack" and pausing to let the laughter build up, "it would be spelled with a 'k' and not a 'c' at the end. You're not the first to say it wrong, but hopefully, after tonight, you'll be the last." The veteran journalist redeemed himself when he leaned over to give Jay-Z a fist pound, signifying that he had learned his lesson.
Rose probed further into the "Run This Town" star's life, at one point asking about his arrest in the stabbing of former Biggie confidant Lance "Un" Rivera.
"He was stabbed, but he went home without taking an aspirin," Jay responded, defusing the headlines of the past. "He was fine. Don't feel bad for him."
As the conversation neared its end, Rose brought up the guarded rapper's marriage to singer Beyoncé. He pointed to a clip of the two from the video for "O3 Bonnie and Clyde," but Jay chimed in before Rose could ask his question.
"I don't know how I let her wear that Boston hat," Jay-Z said. "She took the B a little too far. That's what I thought of.
"How did I get out of that," he joked, after Rose was flustered and forgot his question.
As of press time, the broadcast date for the episode of "Charlie Rose" featuring Jay-Z had not been announced.

The episode, which will be co-sponsored by General Motors, is said to be the most expensive of the series' history and likely one of television's priciest episodes ever. Despite the cast's "Thriller" mash-up, the broadcast will not serve as a tribute episode to the late King of Pop, but will feature contemporary covers of the Black Eyed Peas, Lady Antebellum and Katy Perry.
As for how Jackson's song will be incorporated into the show, the EW source revealed that the episode will have a sports theme by focusing on the local football championship and Sue Sylvester's cheerleading regionals. The "Thriller" mash-up is expected to play onscreen during the game's halftime.
In addition to the timeless tune, Darren Criss and Dot-Marie Jones will reprise their roles as Blaine and Coach Beiste for the big time production.
Earlier this year, rumors swirled about who the post-Super Bowl episode would pay homage to, including Bruce Springsteen. However, the source admitted that the only star considered for the episode was Elton John. Gleeks can expect a tribute episode for John as one of the season's remaining episodes.
Back in August, "Glee" star Lea Michele shared her idea for the episode. "I think they are saving Justin Timberlake for the Super Bowl episode," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "They have to be, because he is so perfect for our show. He has to be on it! When I met Jessica Biel, like a loser, I asked her to tell Justin to come on our show. [Laughs.] She was a little taken aback and said, 'Um, OK. I'll tell him.' "

Teri Hatcher Isn't Quitting; Desperate Housewives Soldiers On
Seven seasons in, ABC's Desperate Housewives is chugging along, with no sign of stopping. Why quit when you're averaging 12 and half million viewers a week? The Housewives' intention to stick around was solidified last weekend, when Teri Hatcher (who plays Susan Mayer) used her Facebook page to lash out at the U.K.'s Daily Mail for falsely reporting her imminent exit (along with costar Felicity Huffman). ("Ridiculously untrue" was one of several adjectives she used to describe the report.)
As long as the show is attracting advertisers (i.e. making money), it will keep going. At the moment, that's a good thing. Most critics agree that Desperate Housewives is experiencing a bit of a creative renaissance this season, with Vanessa Williams breathing new life (and even sassier dialogue) into the show. Watching Bree (Marcia Cross) get romanced by a young hottie -- played, no less, by 90210's Brian Austin Green -- has been a hoot. And Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) just keeps getting funnier. It's a testament to Longoria's comedic talents that her character is still so lovable despite her smart-alecky disregard for almost everyone around her. Even during slow episodes, Gaby's storyline always seems to lift the show up.
But does the show's recent success mean that it should stay on indefinitely? Let's face it: Other series have continued filming long after they lost their mojo. When ER debuted in 1994, it was innovative and compelling. By the time it limped off the air, in 2009, practically its whole cast had left, and the plotlines were all feeling like rehashed versions of earlier episodes. When Scrubs tried to reboot its show in Season 9, with an all-new cast of fresh interns, the result was a show that seemed painfully past it prime.
