We still have a few more weeks to wait to find out which "Battleship" castmember utters the immortal phrase "You sunk my Battleship!" So in the meantime, we're offering up the exclusive premiere of a very special new clip from the film, along with the stars themselves, for "MTV First: Battleship."
Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker will hit MTV's airwaves Monday, April 30, at 7:56 p.m. ET to premiere the exclusive clip, after which they will stick around for a meaty 30 minutes of Q&A on MTV.com hosted by MTV News' Josh Horowitz. Fans can get in on the action immediately by submitting video or text questions via MTV.com or via Twitter (using @MTVNews, hashtag #MTVFirst or #AskBattleship). During "MTV First," the four stars will also answer your Twitter questions and dish on the very latest news.
"Battleship" promises to be a true summer blockbuster in every way. It is an action-packed event movie with an A-list and very attractive cast.
"The movie is really the story of a younger brother (Kitsch) trying to grow up and be a man like [his older brother (Skarsgård)]," director Peter Berg told MTV News. "There just happens to be an alien invasion in the middle of it."
The "Friday Night Lights" director also promised that despite the "Transformers" comparisons, his film is "completely different."
"I think 'Transformers' is awesome," Berg said. "I think [director Michael] Bay did an incredible job with that film and I think when you sit through 4 minutes of 'Battleship,' you'll realize that they are two completely different experiences.
"Obviously, our big bosses who are concerned with making their money back have a vested interested in attaching themselves to other successful films. We don't think about that; we think about making our own movie, and I'm pretty confident that whether you love 'Battleship' or not, the issue of comparison to other films is pretty irrelevant."
The film hits theaters across the country May 18.
Don't forget to join Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, Alexander Skarsgård and Brooklyn Decker for "MTV First: Battleship" on Monday, April 30, at 7:56 p.m. ET on MTV!

Troyzan goes and Kim falters in the latest episode, and MTV News is back with former player Rob Cesternino to recap it all.

Few people would have predicted Greg "Tarzan" Smith to be the last man standing on "Survivor: One World," but that's exactly what's happened now that his similarly named competitor Troyzan is no longer in the game.
After an astonishing drop in likability paired with an equally stunning win last week, Troyzan redeemed himself (to a degree) on a personal level in the latest episode, at the expense of his life in the game. Now, six women remain: wishy-washy Christina, foul-mouthed Alicia, dim-witted Kat, savvy Sabrina, the seemingly unbeatable Kim and her partner-in-crime Chelsea — with only Tarzan representing the men of "One World," poop pants and all.
As the season moves toward the end game, it's bridal shop owner Kim who remains the player to beat. Not only the dominant strategist in her alliance, Kim also proved herself a serious challenge threat this week by winning both reward and immunity with little to no competition. Still, not even Kim is infallible: She made a controversial choice to share her reward with her clear-cut ally Chelsea, leaving another member of her alliance, Kat, feeling insecure about her place in the grand scheme of things. Will Kim's biggest blunder to date come back to bite her down the line, or is it much ado about nothing?
MTV News once again paired up with two-time "Survivor" contestant Rob Cesternino to cover the latest episode of "One World," including the fall of Troyzan and Kim's continued warpath.
MTV: We were hard on Troyzan last week, understandably so. This week, even though he was voted off, I feel a lot better about the guy. He did what he could to survive without being overly obnoxious. What was your take on Troy this week?
Rob Cesternino: He sort of went through the five stages of grief over the last two weeks. Last week was anger and denial. This week, he moved onto bargaining and acceptance. He had a really good week this week. I really wanted to believe — and maybe I'm like Kat, and I just want to believe — but I hoped that Troyzan would pull it off this week. But I kept doing the math in my head: He still needs one more vote. Who's going to vote with him? The math just didn't work out that way.
MTV: Part of me thought that maybe, finally, Christina's time was up. Somehow, she gets to survive another day.
Cesternino: I don't understand why people keep trying to take her out, though. Even for Troyzan, if he could have swung the vote against Christina, it wouldn't have been a power move. It wouldn't have changed anything.
MTV: Well, in fairness, it would've changed a lot for Troyzan.
Cesternino: Sure, for Troyzan, it's important. But it's basically just cutting the tail off the snake [for anybody else]. Nothing really fundamentally changes if she's voted off. She's not a part of anybody's alliance, so getting rid of her wouldn't have been a power move for anybody else in this game. I think she's next though, and that's good for Kim — it keeps up the status quo, and gives her another week before she has to start making hard decisions. It's not looking good for Christina at all.
MTV: Why Christina over Tarzan? He's the last man on the beach, which makes him an easy vote.
Cesternino: I don't think they have a very strong preference either way between those two. They're both pretty expendable to the overall plan. I actually think Tarzan has now become someone who could win the game, if you have a bitter jury of men saying, "Well, at least he has a penis!"
MTV: Fair point! [Laughs] Sticking with Christina for a minute, I can't believe Sabrina just flat-out told Christina that she was getting votes that night.
Cesternino: It was so bizarre, Sabrina telling her, "We're putting votes on Troyzan, and we're also putting votes on you. Hope you're on board with this plan!" And Christina was pretty much on board. And then she goes, "You know, I don't know if I can trust the girls 100 percent." Well, they just said they're putting two votes on you! I don't know what kind of wakeup call she really needs in this game, because, come on!
MTV: You and I have been on the Kimsanity train for a while now, but she screwed up this week, picking Chelsea over Kat to come with her at the reward challenge.
Cesternino: She really did make a big blunder. It reminded me of "Survivor: Nicaragua," when Sash did the same thing with Fabio; he didn't let Fabio see his mom. He got a very similar reaction. Also, for future reference, anytime they show you two people [striking a deal] before a reward challenge, you know that one of those two people is going to win, and they're not going to do what they just said they'd do. It's "Survivor" foreshadowing.
MTV: How bad was Kim's blunder? What kind of damage is that going to do down the line?
Cesternino: On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being no big deal and 10 being Erik Reichenbach giving his immunity necklace away on "Fans vs. Favorites," I'd give it about a 3. It's not a big deal. Kat's a little upset, but what's Kat going to do?
MTV: Kat was clearly very upset, though. Now she has those Russell seeds in there; she wants to be a power player.
Cesternino: I think this whole episode was about perception and reality. For Kat, when she was confronted with what reality is and how different it is from what her perception of the game is — how people really see her — she really did need to wake up and smell the coffee. I don't know which show Kat thinks she's on, where she's been the dominant player all season long, but I would like to watch that show.
MTV: That show exists in the same universe where Kat has never failed at anything in her life.
Cesternino: Right! [Laughs] This is so hard for her. She's never failed at anything. It's unfathomable!
MTV: Troyzan tried to make it look like Kim, Chelsea and Alicia were the top dogs based on the results of the reward challenge. Do you think that's the actual final three?
Cesternino: With final threes instead of final twos now in place on "Survivor," I think that everybody left really thinks that they're in the final three with Kim. It's like what Boston Rob was able to do a couple of seasons ago on "Redemption Island." Alicia thinks she's in the finals with Kim and Chelsea, Sabrina thinks she's in the finals with Kim and Chelsea, and Kat thinks she's in there too. We may not see how things really shake out until the final five, because you have all these people who think they'll be in that third spot. Plus, somebody's still working with Tarzan. Somebody's telling him what he wants to hear to keep him from voting with Troyzan. And nobody tells Christina anything; she'll vote however they want her to.
But what's going to happen is, these people on the bottom are going to scratch and claw their way for the top three. No one's going to get together and take out Kim, saying, "We can be the new top three. Forget Kim and Chelsea." If Alicia and Christina could just stop bickering with each other, they could do something. Troyzan laid it out so obviously: With seven people left in the game, it could very easily be Kat, Christina, Alicia and Tarzan as the final four of the game — but that's not going to happen.
MTV: Certainly not with Troyzan gone. Will you miss having him on the show?
Cesternino: It's sad to see him go, because it felt like he was the only one left who could give Kim a run for her money. It's really just Kim and a bunch of also-rans now. We'll see if a bitter jury just doesn't give Kim her money.
MTV: I would like to believe you're right, because I want to see Kim win the game. But there's an argument to be made for Chelsea, too. She's playing a solid game: She's vocal, she's strong in challenges. I think Chelsea could beat Kim.
Cesternino: Absolutely. Just like last season, where Coach dominated the game, brought his alliance to the finals, told everybody what they wanted to hear to get to that point, and the jury gave the money to Coach's loyal sidekick who was more blunt, honest and won challenges. It could easily go down the same way. I think Kim is savvier about the game than Coach is, but you have a voting block on the jury of five guys who want to blame somebody for what happened to them. Will they blame Kim and not give her the win because they look at her as the person who engineered the idea to get the men out of the game? We'll see.
MTV: Kim said that winning the reward challenge was the worst thing to happen to her in the game so far. I have a feeling she'll have worse days coming up.
Cesternino: Wah, wah, wah. [Laughs] If your worst day on "Survivor," you win a reward challenge and an immunity challenge, then you're doing pretty damn good out there. Let's start a new hashtag: #winnerproblems.

Com names new LP; Timbaland plans straight-to-cell-phone album; Pitbull, Baby Bash to co-headline MTV Trés tour.
By MTV News staff
<P>In addition to adding the two most-nominated artists of the year to the performing roster for <a href="/news/grammys/2008/">Sunday's Grammys</a> — <b>Kanye West</b> and, via satellite, <b>Amy Winehouse</b> — the show will also feature live sets from <b>John Mayer</b> and gospel great <b>BeBe Winans</b>. Added as presenters are <b>Usher</b>, <b>Will.I.Am</b>, <b>Dierks Bentley</b>, <b>Cuba Gooding Jr.</b>, <b>Carole King</b> and <b>Roselyn Sanchez</b>. ... </P><P> </P><P><b>Common</b> has come up with a title for his new LP: <i>The Believer.</i> The Chicago legend told MTV News he hopes it will be out by November. ... <b>Timbaland</b> has signed a deal to release a straight-to-mobile-phone album, one track at a time over the next year. The unusual scheme hatched with Verizon Wireless, which will give its V Cast subscribers an exclusive chance to access the songs each month, according to <i>Billboard Biz.</i> Tim, who is up for five Grammys, will work with a different artist on each track while touring the country on the Verizon Mobile Recording Studio Bus, which will spin off making-of footage for V Cast subscribers on a dedicated Timbaland channel. Each mobile track will be released just days after it is produced in full-length download, ringtone and ringback version, and will only be available through V Cast and Verizon for $1.99. At the end of the year, a compilation album will be released through Verizon. ... </P><P> </P><P><b>Pitbull</b> and <b>Baby Bash</b> likely ran into each other at last year's <a href="/news/articles/1559456/ludacris-kelly-clarkson-fergie-get-the-wango-tango-crowd-moving.jhtml">Wango Tango music festival</a> in Southern California — they both performed there — and now the two are joining forces for MTV Trés' Sucker Free Latino spring tour. The two headliners will hit 13 cities starting March 15 in Orlando, Florida, and ending April 4 in San Diego. ... Family, friends and close music-industry associates of the late <b>Big Pun</b> gathered in a private ceremony Thursday night at New York's Studio 450 to honor the eight-year anniversary of the Latino rapper's untimely death. Donations were made both to Pun's family and his foundation, the Christopher Rios Memorial. An attendee told MTV News that the rapper's daughter, Vanessa, paid tribute to her father with a rendition of <b>Dolly Parton</b>'s "I Will Always Love You." ... </P><P> </P><P><b>Teddy Geiger</b> is still busy working on the follow-up to 2006's <i>Underage Thinking</i> — as well as his role in the upcoming flick "The Rocker" — but in the meantime the 19-year-old troubadour has launched a cell phone contest with Mozes. During the month of February, fans can leave messages for Geiger on <a href="http://www.mozes.com/teddy" target="_blank">Mozes.com,</a> after which he'll pick one of the fans to chat with. ... <b>Flyleaf</b> and <b>Seether</b> will team up this spring for an eight-week U.S. tour that kicks off April 8 in Denver and runs through May 31 at a yet-to-be-announced city. A partial list of dates can be found at either band's Web site. ... <b>Thrice</b> have a busy May ahead — the SoCal rockers have a show booked for almost every night that month. The band will actually set out on tour the month before that, beginning April 16 in San Diego, and will bring it to a close May 29 in Hollywood. ... </P><P> </P><P>Members of the <b>Yeah Yeah Yeahs</b>, "Saturday Night Live" castmembers <b>Andy Samberg</b> and <b>Seth Meyers</b>, and others turned up at New York's Webster Hall on Monday night for a party thrown by <b>Chloë Sevigny</b>. The actress invited legendary punks the <b>Slits</b> to play at the event, which celebrated Sevigny's new clothing line. ... <b>Working for a Nuclear Free City</b> — whose <i>Businessmen and Ghosts</i> album was a finalist for this year's Shortlist Music Prize — are hoping to capitalize on the success with a brief run. The Brits will hit the road February 29 in San Francisco and continue playing gigs through Austin, Texas' South by Southwest fest in mid-March. ... Still hooked on <b>Phish</b>? Fans can gobble up a bunch of rare items donated by the now-defunct jam heroes for an <a href="http://www.mimifishman.org/auctions/" target="_blank">online charity auction</a> being put on by the mother of the band's drummer, <b>Jon Fishman</b>. Posters signed by <b>Trey Anastasio</b> and <b>Page McConnell</b>, as well as rare Phish shirts and additional items from <b>Oysterhead</b>, <b>Moe.</b> and the <b>String Cheese Incident</b>. Proceeds from the auction, which ends February 21, will go to the Mimi Fishman Foundation, which raises funds for various charities. ... </P><P> </P><P>Now that his <b>Rolling Stones</b> movie, "Shine a Light," is about to hit the big screen, legendary director <b>Martin Scorsese</b> is set to begin work on a yet-untitled documentary about reggae icon <b>Bob Marley</b>. <i>Variety</i> reports that the movie will be authorized by Marley's family and will be released in February 2010, on what would have been Marley's 65th birthday. ... Walt Disney Parks and Resorts are creating a live-performance attraction based on "<b>American Idol</b>" at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park in Florida. The yet-unnamed attraction, which should open this year, will allow budding singers to "audition" on an "Idol"-like set in front of an audience of 1,000, with a daily winner getting a pass to the show's regional auditions. Visitors will be able to pick their song beforehand, rehearse in a sound booth and, if they pass the audition, work with a vocal coach before performing in front of the live audience and a panel of judges during one of the seven daily shows. ... </P><P> </P><P>Republican presidential candidate <a href="http://think.mtv.com/profile/mccain2008"><b>John McCain</b></a> might have a lot of independent-minded supporters, but heartland rocker <b>John Mellencamp</b> ain't one of 'em. The Arizona senator and Republican front-runner stopped playing the unabashedly liberal Indiana singer/songwriter's "Our Country" at his campaign events after Mellencamp's publicist sent a letter questioning the logic of using the tune, according to <i>The Associated Press.</i> "Are you sure you want to use his music to promote Senator McCain's efforts?" read a letter sent to the candidate's campaign on Monday. "Logic says that the facts might prove to be an embarrassment, were they to be circulated widely." The McCain camp said Thursday that the song, and a few others by Mellencamp, would no longer be played at events. Mellencamp publicist Bob Merlis told <i>AP</i> that the situation made Mellencamp uncomfortable and that he couldn't imagine McCain would want to be associated with him. "You know, here's a guy running around saying, 'I'm a true conservative,' " Merlis said. "Well, if you're such a true conservative, why are you playing songs that have a very populist pro-labor message written by a guy who would find no argument if you characterized him as left of center?" ... </P><P> </P><P><b>Billy Joel</b> will be the last artist to play New York's Shea Stadium before it's torn down. The piano man will perform at "The Last Play at Shea, From the Beatles to Billy" on July 16, during the New York Mets' final season before moving to Citi Field in 2009. The show will make Joel the only artist to have played both Yankee and Shea Stadiums. </P><P> </P><P>2.7.08 </P><P> </P><P><b>Lindsay Lohan</b> just spoke publicly for the first time since <a href="/news/articles/1571340/lindsay-lohan-leaves-rehab-report.jhtml">leaving rehab in early October</a> — she gave an interview to the U.K. edition of <i>Glamour</i> for its new cover story — but the starlet has more to say. She told <i>Harper's Bazaar</i> for its own LiLo cover story that she'd like to have a low-key relationship, that she's trying to smoke cigarettes less often and that she's "always been a homebody." She also spilled who she would like to make music with next — "I'd love to work with <b>Timbaland</b>. I'd love to work with <b>Kanye West</b>, <b>50 Cent</b> if I could" — and admitted, "When I look back on this last year, it's like, what was I thinking?" <i>Harper's Bazaar</i>'s March issue, in which the story appears, hits stands February 19. ... </P><P> </P><P><b>Christina Aguilera</b> just made her first public appearance this week since <a href="/news/articles/1579535/christina-aguilera-has-baby-boy.jhtml">giving birth</a> in January, and now comes news that the singer is already digging into her next album. "This whole incredible thing has taken place in my life," the new mom recently told <b>Ryan Seacrest</b> on his radio show, so there's "so much in me to write about. The next record, I want to have a lot of fun with it. [I've been] brainstorming for the last nine months. This next album will have a whole new me, a different me, so it's a lot to look forward to." She also spoke about her son, Max Liron Bratman — "he's constantly changing, and doing these incredibly cute things and stinky things" — and even touched on <b>Paris Hilton</b> <a href="/news/articles/1569232/did-paris-hilton-blab-christinas-baby-news.jhtml">spilling the beans</a> about Aguilera's pregnancy during VMA weekend last year.

'Every time a bidder finishes building a classroom, the actual classroom will be named after them when it's built!' Apl says.
By Jocelyn Vena
<P>The <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/black_eyed_peas/artist.jhtml">Black Eyed Peas</a>' apl.de.ap is using the holiday season to give back. Last week he launched the <a href="/news/articles/1676079/black-eyed-peas-apl-de-ap-charity-dreams.jhtml">Charity Dreams auction</a> benefiting education in his native Philippines, where he serves as an educational ambassador. </P><P> </P><P>With the "We Can Be Anything" event that kicked off at <a href="http://www.charitydreams.com/charity/" target="_blank">CharityDreams.com</a> and lasts through 9 p.m. ET Wednesday, apl.de.ap is getting the word out and trying to help raise money and awareness for the cause. </P><P> </P><P>Every bid will allow users to buy virtual books, pencils, chairs, desks and other supplies, and help build virtual classrooms in an effort to combine gaming, social networking and philanthropy. Each time a bidder finishes a virtual classroom, an actual classroom will be named for that bidder once construction is completed on the new schools. </P><P> </P><P>"Building virtual classrooms was the brainchild of Charity Dreams. So many people play games online, it's a huge business — and so harnessing the power of the Charity Dreams community to help build classrooms just made a lot of sense," Apl told MTV News in an email. "Every time a bidder finishes building a classroom, the actual classroom will be named after them when it's built!" </P><P> </P><P>While the students will get classrooms and school supplies, the lucky winning bidder will get a private jet flight out to Los Angeles to spend time in the studio with Apl creating a custom track in his or her honor. The BEP rapper will also cut a custom disc of the session and serve as the DJ at the winner's birthday party, where he will spin the song for the top-prize recipient and 50 of his or her friends. </P><P> </P><P>The winning bidder will also get a 2012 collector's edition Ferrari, $250,000 in cash and a trip to Las Vegas with 10 friends to spend New Year's Eve with Fergie while staying in the <a href="http://www.mtv.com/shows/real_world/lasvegas/series.jhtml">"Real World"</a> penthouse suite. </P><P> </P><P>"I hope to build 10,000 classrooms in two years," apl.de.ap said, adding that he hopes to raise "as much as possible!!" </P><P> </P><P>The initial fee to place a charity bid is 99 cents. Organizers expect the final package to go for no more than a few hundred dollars thanks to a system in which each bid increases the top price by just a fraction of a penny. Each bid will also entitle users to an app, music download or playlist curated by Apl and featuring an exclusive song or the chance to have Apl follow you on Twitter.</p>
