Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried have done what every person in Hollywood strives to do: stop the aging process. In their new sci-fi flick "In Time," directed by Andrew Niccol, the actors' characters shake up their futuristic society, where the upper crust can buy or sell the most important thing the future has to offer: time itself.

"We're all mortals and the human race needs to be structured in a way where there's no overpopulation," Seyfried told MTV News on Saturday at San Diego Comic-Con. "And we all have body clocks and when we turn 25, you stop aging, basically, and it turns off [and] then you look 25 forever. You can be however old; you can live forever if you have a lot of time."

For Timberlake's character, Will Salas, his time is nearly up when he's gifted with more time by a wealthy older man. The elite, played by Cillian Murphy and Vincent Kartheiser, aren't too keen on this, and eventually, Salas kidnaps Kartheiser's daughter (Seyfried) and they go on the lam. Why is he so frantic to try to beat the clock? "If you run out of time, you have a heart attack and you're dead immediately," Seyfried explained. "It's cut-and-dry, black and white. There's the rich, there's the poor. It reflects a lot on our actual, real society."

Niccol has put his signature seriously satiric stamp on the ideas of aging, something that really appealed to Timberlake. "That's something that I love that Andrew does. You take a concept like the fountain of youth, something we all seem to be obsessed with, and what would happen if we actually got it? If we had the potential to live forever and we looked 25 forever?" he said.

The film features a bevy of good-looking people including Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer and Olivia Wilde, to name a few, making filming quite an interesting process that came with this note: "Everyone may look the same age, but not everyone is playing the same age."

"All the actors in this film look the same age, but Matt Bomer, for instance, plays a character that's 105," Timberlake explained. "And so it really is a visual trip to watch."

Lady Gaga has long been the Queen of YouTube. Her videos have racked up more than a billion views on the site and fans have flocked to it in droves to post their home-brewed takes on her outfits, fashion, music and videos.

But little monsters who were looking for their daily fix of Gaga on Thursday (July 14) were likely disappointed when they went to Mother Monster's YouTube account and found the following message, "This account has been suspended due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's Copyright Policy."

What gives?

According to Time Out Tokyo, Gaga's official YouTube account was suspended because she posted footage from her recent appearance on the Japanese show "SMAP x SMAP," on the Fuji TV network. The widely-circulated video of the 10-minute performance in which Gaga sang a medley of songs from Born This Way resulted in a takedown request from Media Interactive Inc. on Tuesday.

The video features Gaga performing on a fog-enshrouded set with the popular Japanese boy band SMAP, and the issue appears to involve Gaga's failure to secure the digital rights to display their performance on her YouTube account. In the clip, Gaga emerges from an ornate box wearing a an elaborate black dust mask and sings "The Edge of Glory" before sitting down at a piano housed in a giant bejeweled hand sculpture for a solo take on "You and I" that morphs into the album's title track.

The "Born This Way" performance features the members of SMAP standing and posing behind Gaga, joining her dancers in some high-energy choreography and singing light backup duties on the hit track.

Spokespeople for Gaga and YouTube could not be reached for comment at press time.

On Monday, Gaga tweeted her excitement about the SMAP performance, writing, "My performance+cooking show appearance on SMAP SMAP is airing now in Japan. Kawaii Monsters!" A week earlier, she Twitpic'd a sepia-toned photo of her with the group as well.

Amy Winehouse Funeral

Amy Winehouse Funeral

The friends and family of singer Amy Winehouse, who died Saturday at age 27, gathered for her funeral in London on Tuesday morning -- three days after her death, which is in keeping with Jewish tradition.

The ceremony was held at Edgewarebury Cemetery in the Golders Green area of London. And according to Radar Online, Winehouse's parents, Janis and Mitch, her brother Alex and her boyfriend Reg Traviss were among the 150 people in attendance. Also there were pals Kelly Osbourne -- who wore her hair in Winehouse's signature beehive style -- and Mark Ronson, producer of Winehouse's 2006 album Back in Black (and the brother of Samantha Ronson). Winehouse's ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil -- who is currently serving 32 months in jail on a violent crimes charge -- was not allowed out of prison for the funeral.

TMZ reports that Mitch Winehouse delivered a touching eulogy, sharing stories from Amy's childhood and telling his daughter, "Goodnight, my angel. Sleep tight. Mommy and Daddy love you ever so much." The 45-minute ceremony, which included prayers in both Hebrew and English, ended with Carole King's "So Far Away," an Amy favorite that she once performed as a duet with her father. "Mitch encouraged everyone to sing to it and they did," a rep for Winehouse told People. "People sang."

Following the ceremony, mourners headed to the Golders Green crematorium, where Winehouse was to be cremated. "I think because her grandmother was cremated at the same place, so it was a family tradition to be cremated," the singer's rep told People. Some of Winehouse's ashes reportedly will be scattered with those of her grandmother Cynthia, who died of lung cancer five years ago.

The funeral may help bring peace to Winehouse's loved ones, but they don't have closure yet. An autopsy on Monday was supposed to determine how Winehouse died, but according to the Associated Press, the results were inconclusive. London police have announced that they are awaiting the results of "further toxicology tests," which will take two to four weeks.

Winehouse's death is widely assumed to be related to her very public struggle with drug and alcohol addiction, but the police have presented no evidence to support that theory. Although U.K. newspaper the Daily Mirror reported that Winehouse's friends and family say she died of alcohol and ecstasy use, an anonymous police source told People that Winehouse was not surrounded by paraphernalia or signs of drugs when she passed away.

For his part, Mitch Winehouse believes his daughter was happy when she died. "Amy was the greatest daughter, family member and friend you could ever have. I will talk a lot about her fantastic recovery," Mitch said in a statement to E!'s Mark Malkin. "Recently Amy found love with Reg. He helped her with her problems and Amy was looking forward to their future together. She was the happiest she has been for years."

What's more, Mitch insists that Amy was on the road to kicking her addictions. "3 years ago, Amy conquered her drug dependency, the doctors said it was impossible but she really did it. She was trying hard to deal with her drinking and had just completed 3 weeks of abstinence," he reveals. "She said, 'Dad I've had enough, I can't stand the look on your and the family's faces anymore.'"

As for the night Amy died, Mitch had this to say: "She was not depressed. She saw Janis and Reg on Friday and was in good spirits. That night, she was in her room, playing drums and singing. As it was late, her security guard said to keep it quiet and she did. He heard her walking around for a while and when he went to check on her in the morning he thought she was asleep. He went back a few hours later, that was when he realized she was not breathing and called for help. But knowing she wasn't depressed, knowing she passed away, knowing she passed away happy, it makes us all feel better."

In the statement, Mitch also reveals plans to start the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which he calls "something to help the things she loved -- children, horses, but also to help those struggling with substance abuse. In this country, if you cannot afford a private rehabilitation clinic, there is a two year waiting list for help. With the help of Keith Vaz MP, we are trying to change that."

The singer-songwriter's death has also left questions about her unreleased recordings. Though her musical influence was tremendous, Winehouse only released two studio albums before she passed away. MTV News reports that she had been working on a reported follow-up to 2006's Back in Black for the past two years. It's unknown how many finished songs she actually recorded -- or, indeed, if she recorded any.

Music lovers are now holding their collective breath, hoping that there's another Amy Winehouse album still to come. For now, the world is revisiting her familiar songs: Back in Black is currently No. 1 on the iTunes charts.

Kim Kardashian Diagnosed with Psoriasis

Kim Kardashian Diagnosed with Psoriasis

When the glam and gorgeous Kim Kardashian is flitting around on our TV screens, or beaming at us from high-gloss magazine covers, she can seem more like a doll than a human. But human she is and, on the latest episode of E!'s Keeping Up With the Kardashians, she discovers that she suffers from a physical imperfection that sometimes plagues our species: psoriasis.

When her trim, tanned legs break out in red, blotchy scales, Kardashian visits a Beverly Hills dermatologist, where he diagnoses her with the hereditary skin condition. "When the doctor tells me I have psoriasis, I have heard of it before, because my mom (Kris Jenner) has always had it," she says. Watch video of her diagnosis below!

 

In fact, an estimated 7.5 million Americans suffer from it. But in Kardashian's world of nearly nude photo shoots and barely-there fashions, this news is devastating. "Imagine what the tabloids would do to me if they saw all these spots," she worries.

Even worse, the incurable condition -- which is characterized by red, irritated skin and flaky, silver-white "scales" -- is brought on by lifestyle factors like lots of stress and travel. It doesn't help when the doctor suggests that Kardashian -- a reality star, model, actress and fragrance entrepreneur -- lead "an easier, slower-paced life."

"It's just not possible," she replies.

It's hard to feel sorry for the still-stunning Kardashian, especially knowing that millions of people suffer from much more serious ailments. But the scene does offer some insight into the challenges of building your persona on physical beauty. "People don't understand the pressure on me to look perfect," she says.

So often we describe beautiful celebrities as "perfect." With expensive plastic surgery, personal trainers, tanning, makeup and the rest, they often do achieve a kind of perfection for a time. But, of course, it's never completely sustainable. And that fact must be in the back of Kardashian's mind all the time. What a burden!

Her dermatologist will probably get her psoriasis under control, and she'll be back in bikinis in no time. But at some point in the future, she will gain weight or get a wrinkle or develop some other physical flaw. And the very thought of it probably terrifies her.

We women like to say we wish we looked like Kim Kardashian. But seen from this viewpoint, maybe "perfection" isn't worth the stress!

Boy Troubles For Amy Winehouse

Oh no! Amy Winehouse has been doing SO well lately! This is the last thing she needs.Her current boyfriend, film producer, Reg Traviss, was supposedly spotted getting cuddly with his ex-girlfriend, Raven Isis, at a strip club in London this weekend. At a strip club??? Riiiight. Perfect place for romance, no? Then again Raven is a burlesque dancer, so maybe that's her just her thing.
"The pair walked into the Red Room gentlemen's club where they spent some time inside.They seemed cosy and comfortable with each other. Raven couldn't stop smiling. Then they went out to have a cigarette."
Hopefully this won't send Amy spinning out of control again. With celebrities like Amy and Britney Spears, I feel like the balance is precarious and any little thing could send them over the edge again, don't you?Photos by Wenn.com Continue reading
