Beyonce's 4 Shoots To #1 Debut
Singer expected to move 300,000 units of her fourth album, according to Billboard.

It looks like 4 is going to be #1. Beyoncé's latest effort is projected to debut at #1 on the albums chart after selling an estimated 300,000 units in its first week, according to Billboard.
Those sales would place her in the middle of the pack of fellow divas with albums out this year. Britney Spears' Femme Fatale sold 276,000 records her first week; Lady Gaga's Born This Way sold an impressive 1.1 million records, and Adele's 21 sold 352,000 records right out the gate (though it's had much more staying power than the others).
The aptly titled fourth release from B would also be her fourth #1 album debut, though the numbers will likely be below her previous first-week sales. I Am ... Sasha Fierce sold 482,000 in its first week, in 2008, and her sophomore effort, 2006's B'Day, sold 541,000 albums. Her debut solo effort, Dangerously in Love, debuted with 317,000 units sold.
Fans will go behind the scenes of the making of 4 in an MTV special, "Beyoncé: Year of 4," airing Thursday night (June 30). In the half-hour doc, Beyoncé talks about taking some time off before making the record, which features studio work from The-Dream, Kanye West and Andre 3000.
"My life was award shows and tour buses and hotels, and it kind of goes by so fast ... I couldn't even hear it anymore," she says of her whirlwind schedule. "I'm just thinking about the next shoot ... the next video ... the next tour ... I never even realized I needed a year off. And I never realized I don't know how to take a year off."
Tune in to "Beyoncé: Year of 4," airing Thursday, June 30, at 7 p.m. ET/PT on MTV and BET, and at 7:30 p.m. on VH1 and Palladia. Encore presentations follow on MTV.com, MTV Hits and MTV Jams.

Heidi Klum Says Seal Is "Even Hot When He's Sleeping"
After six years of marriage, Heidi Klum still finds her husband super sexy. (So do we, Heidi!)
The Project Runway host says her relationship with singer Seal is still filled with fun romantic nights and alluring lingerie, which keeps things very hot in the bedroom.
"There's nothing wrong with a nice garter belt," the model, 38, says in the new issue of Glamour. "I'm not saying you have to put up a pole in your bedroom and start swinging off the rafters. But I love that sometimes! My husband and I just had a 'sexy week' in London. I'd put on a super-short skirt with a garter belt on underneath so that when I'd sit, he could see it. It's fun to sauce it up a little bit."
Is getting warm in here?
Klum says that it's pretty easy to keep their love life in tact, especially because she's still so attracted to the 48-year-old "Secrets" singer. "He's even hot when he's sleeping. He's a beautiful man," Klum gushes. "He's kind, he's a gentleman, and I watched him last night onstage, and he still rocks it. I'm like, 'Yeah, that's my man!'"
But Klum says the couple, who have four children together, have never really had a problem with sparks. From the moment they crossed paths, Klum admits she had to have him.
"We were sitting in the lobby at the Mercer Hotel [in New York], and he came in from the gym. I was very attracted to him immediately," she says. "And I said, 'Where you going? You should just stay here with us.' He said, 'I'm sweating -- I have to go take a shower.' And I'm like, 'Good, take a shower and come back.' And he did."
Klum wasn't shy about her feelings for Seal, and the two have been inseparable ever since. They even renew their wedding vows every year on their anniversary.
"I'm not someone who plays hard to get," she explains. "This whole thing about 'Oh, let's exchange numbers' and then people wait four or five days before they call you? I don't see the point. If you feel something, why would you let that pass? You only live once."

'Transformers' Reviews: How Do The Three Movies Stack Up?
Third installment of the Shia LaBeouf-starring 'Bot franchise is getting the best notices yet.
By Eric Ditzian
Sentinel Prime in "Transformers: Dark of the Moon"

We've now seen "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" — during a raucous pre-release IMAX screening that left our ears ringing and our senses tingling — and can vouch for the consensus critical opinion surrounding the summer blockbuster: It's the finest film in the franchise.
That's the overall take. But how do the three films — including the 2007 original and 2009's "Revenge of the Fallen" — stack up when you're gauging various cinematic elements? To get to the bottom of that question, we have to dive back into the historical record.
The Story
"T1": "The screenwriters, Alex Kurtzmann and Robert Orci, don't bother to explain as they go along; they just pile up the bang-crash action sequences and, when things get too confusing, screech to a halt for some plodding explanatory dialogue." — Dana Stevens, Slate
"T2": "There is much absurd backstory and crammed-in explanation for what is going on and despite much of it being voiced by the thunderous Peter Cullen ... it still gets annoying." — Jordan Hoffman, UGO
"T3": "Writer Ehren Kruger ... had script duties all to himself, and he has fashioned a narrative of ornate silliness — which is to say, pretty good pulpy fun." — Kurt Loder, Reason
The Visuals
"T1": "The visuals are the real stars here. Though they grow repetitive, the robots' transforming scenes — joints bending, appendages stretching, gears whirling — are too cool to ever become boring." — David Germain, The Associated Press
"T2": "The battle scenes are bewildering. A Bot makes no visual sense anyway, but two or three tangled up together create an incomprehensible confusion." — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"T3": "By showing a measure of restraint and using 3-D to excellent effect, Bay finally enables the Transformers to emerge as players in their own right, with hopes and dreams, declaiming their philosophies of fate, humankind and the universe in grand Shakespearean style." — Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
The Performances
"T1": "LaBeouf has the hefty job of single-handedly injecting the action with personality, and he brings it off, though without offering much variation on his nervous, hipster-squirt charm." — Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"T2": "Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, who are definitely the stars as far as how much of the movie they're in compared to anyone else, both throw themselves into the physical demands of the film with admirable zeal, which is good, since there's nothing else to the roles." — Drew McWeeny, HitFix
"T3": "LaBeouf is highly physical and crowd-pleasingly jerky as the little man and the franchise's centerpiece, Sam Witwicky. If all Tom Cruise consumed were juice boxes of Red Bull, LaBoeuf is who he'd be." — Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
The Bottom Line
"T1": "We knew it would be dumb. But we had no idea it would be so much dumb fun." — Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinal
"T2": "[Though] it has plenty of popcorn moments that can be big, dumb fun (alien secrets under a pyramid, sexy girls who sprout mechanical tails at the worst moments), director Michael Bay's sequel is louder and more illogical than the megasuccessful 2007 original." — Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
"T3": "'Dark of the Moon' is hardly a fleet production, but here Bay makes his best, most flexible use yet of all the flamboyant bigness at his command: computer-drawn characters and human actors seem to occupy the same narrative for once." — Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

Alicia Keys Heads To Broadway
Singer will co-produce 'Stick Fly,' a play about an affluent black family in Martha's Vineyard, opening in December.
By Gil Kaufman

Since releasing her debut, Songs in A Minor, 10 years ago, Alicia Keys has achieved plenty of landmarks in her life: two armloads of Grammys, a successful movie career and, recently, motherhood.
But the "Fallin' " singer is still pushing into new territory with her latest project, co-producing the Broadway premiere of the play "Stick Fly." The critically acclaimed work by Lydia R. Diamond will open on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre in December, with previews beginning on November 18.
"This is a story that everybody can relate to," said Keys in a statement announcing her participation in the venture. "I'm passionate about this play because it is so beautifully written and portrays Black America in a way that we don't often get to see in entertainment. I know it will touch all audiences, who will find a piece of themselves somewhere inside this house."
"Stick Fly" tells the story of the LeVays, an affluent black family gathering at their Martha's Vineyard home to spend a summer weekend together. According to a description, "the adult sons, aspiring novelist Kent and golden boy plastic surgeon Flip, have each brought their respective ladies (one black and one white) to meet the parents. Food, drink and Trivial Pursuit tangle with class, race and identity politics in this contemporary comedy of manners."
Casting has not yet been announced for the Broadway production, which has garnered a number of awards since its premiere at Chicago's Congo Square Theatre in 2006.
Keys is balancing this latest project with the reissue of A Minor on Tuesday (June 28) and a mini-tour celebrating the album's 10th anniversary. The singer told MTV News that caring for 8-month-old son Egypt has actually made her a better artist.
"I feel like I'm definitely more creative," she said of her life since motherhood. "I'm more thoughtful about my plans and the things that I do, so overall everything is like a hundred times better."

Shia LaBeouf & Megan Fox Hooked Up During 'Transformers'
Shia LaBeouf is not known for his reticence, and in a new interview with Details magazine the 25-year-old actor admits that he got it on with former Transformers costar Megan Fox while shooting the first two films in the franchise.
When asked if he and the starlet had hooked up, LaBeouf nods in the affirmative. "Look, you're on the set for six months, with someone who's rooting to be attracted to you, and you're rooting to be attracted to them," he says. "I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry on screen."
No biggie, right? Why shouldn't two attractive young stars mix business with a little pleasure on a movie set? Well, here's the thing: Fox, 25, is married to former Beverly Hills 90210 star Brian Austin Green, 37. Though Fox and Green definitely weren't hitched at the time and famously called off their engagement at one point, they have been together off and on for six years -- possibly making LaBeouf's revelation problematic in terms of Fox's timeline.
When asked if Fox and Green were on a break when he hooked up with her, LaBeouf replies, "I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know... " According to the article, LaBeouf goes on to utter that phrase -- or some variant of it -- 12 times in a row. To us, that's interesting. To LaBeouf, "It was what it was."
Fox was famously replaced by Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for Transformers: Dark of the Moon (opening June 29). While Fox originally said that it was her decision to leave, word is now out that executive producer Steven Spielberg told director Michael Bay to fire the sultry actress after she compared Bay to Hitler in an indiscreet interview.
Fox isn't the only former hook-up LaBeouf discusses in Details. He also dishes on the worst date he ever went on (with Hilary Duff!) and opens up about ex-girlfriend Carey Mulligan. Of Mulligan, the candid actor says: "I still love her... I think she's a f***ing awesome person and an incredible actress. We're still pals. I wouldn't take any of it back, and I don't think she would either. It just ran its course."
