There's been much speculation over her possible new title, and today (June 29), confirmation came as the network announced Savannah Guthrie as Ann Curry's "Today Show" replacement.

Previously a staple of NBC's 9 a.m. hour, Guthrie will now join the anchor seat alongside long-time co-host Matt Lauer.

?In just a few short years Savannah has become a standout member of the news division as well as the ultimate team player," network president Steve Capus told in a press release.

While Savannah took over Curry's spot on Friday's show, her official first day on the job is Monday. Savannah will also continue her role as chief legal correspondent for NBC.

Captain America

Go see Captain America this weekend! Support our Colin!

I went to the premiere on Tuesday and it was the coolest thing ever. First, the movie is AMAZING and Chris Evans is a superstar. Second, there were so many damn people there it was insane. I have been to movie premieres in New York before and they were nothing like this. I mean, they closed down Hollywood Boulevard. I would've taken photos to show you, but the invite said to leave phones in the car. But here's a photo of me in my cool Captain America 3D glasses:

(Sit down, stop jumping around, it's an awesome picture, I know. And the quality is amazing. It's not grainy or reddish... it's perfect.) (No, it's not.)

(And you can totally see the Captain America logo on the side of the glasses.) (No, you can't.)

Anyway, Captain America is pulling a strong 71% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes right now so GO SEE IT! IT'S FANTASTIC!

Justin Bieber Nabs Year's Biggest Chart Debut With Believe

Bieber's latest sold more than 374,000 copies in its first week, edging Madonna's MDNA to claim the title of year's biggest bow.
By James Montgomery

<P>Most <a href="/news/articles/1687988/justin-bieber-believe-album-sales.jhtml">predicted it</a>, and now it's official: <b>Justin Bieber</b>'s <i>Believe</i> scored the year's biggest chart debut, selling more than 374,000 copies and blasting the competition on the <i>Billboard</i> Top 200.</P><P><i>Believe</i> &#8212; Bieber's fourth album to debut at #1 &#8212; slightly edged Madonna's <i>MDNA,</i> which sold 359,000 copies when it was released in late March, to claim the title of year's biggest bow, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's also the best first-week number <i>any</i> album has posted since Adele's <i>21</i> rode a <a href="/news/articles/1679279/adele-grammy-awards-2012.jhtml">post-Grammy surge</a> to sales of more than 729,000 copies in February.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="'Bieber Live'" id="id:1687833" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>Bieber's album also sold nearly twice the copies as its closest competition, <b>Kenny Chesney</b>'s <i>Welcome to the Fishbowl,</i> which opens at #2 on the chart with an impressive 193,000 copies in its first week of release. Usually that number is <i>more</i> than enough to take #1, but not this week. <b>Fiona Apple</b>'s first album in seven years, <a href="/news/articles/1686557/fiona-apple-idler-wheel-btts.jhtml"><i>The Idler Wheel,</i></a> debuts at #3, selling nearly 72,000 copies, followed by another returning alt icon, the <b>Smashing Pumpkins</b>, who sold more than 53,000 copies of their <a href="/news/articles/1687831/smashing-pumpkins-oceania-billy-corgan.jhtml"><i>Oceania</i></a> to take #4. The "Rock of Ages" soundtrack rounds out the top five, selling nearly 49,000 copies.</P><P><a href="/news/articles/1687847/usher-billboard-looking-4-myself.jhtml">Usher, last week's chart champ</a> (and Bieber's mentor), is in at #6 with his <i>Looking 4 Myself</i> album, which sold 48,000 copies in its second week. <b>Adele</b>'s aforementioned <i>21</i> lands at #7 (more than 47,000 copies sold), followed by <b>One Direction</b>'s <i>Up All Night</i> (more than 41,000 sold) and <b>Luke Bryan</b>'s <i>Tailgates &amp; Tanlines</i> (nearly 28,000 sold). <b>Rush</b>'s <i>Clockwork Angels</i> closes out the top 10, selling nearly 27,000 copies.</P><P>Other debuts on the chart include the <b>Dirty Heads</b>' <i>Cabin by the Sea,</i> which opens at #18 with sales of nearly 18,000 copies, "Once" star <b>Glen Hansard</b>'s <i>Rhythm and Repose</i> (#21, more than 16,000 copies sold) and the soundtrack to Pixar's "Brave," which bows at #33, with sales of nearly 12,000 copies.</P><P>And while the story of this week's <i>Billboard</i> chart is unquestionably Bieber, next week could be a different story. He'll face challenges from both <b>Linkin Park</b>'s <a href="/news/articles/1688422/linkin-park-living-things.jhtml"><i>LIVING THINGS</i></a> and <b>Maroon 5</b>'s <a href="/news/articles/1688438/maroon-5-overexposed.jhtml"><i>Overexposed,</i></a> both of which could make his reign a short-lived one. Can Bieber make it two weeks in a row atop the charts? We'll just have to wait and see.</p>

Katherine Heigl Jets Off With Baby Adalaide

Jet-setting with her adopted newborn, Katherine Heigl was spotted loading up her truck with her husband, Josh Kelly, before making her way to the LAX airport with Adalaide in Burbank, California on Friday (June 29).

The "One For The Money" actress held her daughter in her arms the entire time while dragging her luggage behind and looked relaxed for the flight wearing a long black scarf over a loose white tee-shirt and a pair of flats with her leggings.

Marking her second adoption, Katherine opened up about how different it is this time around with her second daughter, ?I had never had a newborn before. I didn?t really have that experience." admitting to PEOPLE during the 40th AFI Life Achievement Awards on Thursday, "So it?s all been new. I was prepared for the nights and having to get up and all of that. But the beauty of it is it?s really only a few months of your life that you?re walking around like a zombie because you haven?t slept.?

As for what, exactly is different the 33-year-old explained, ?I think it?s far more chaotic than I anticipated, and I think every parent probably says that and every parent tries to warn new parents about it. And we all go, ?Pish posh, it?s going to be fine. What?s one more?? ?

Katherine also dished about how her 3 1/2 year old adjusted to the new family member saying, ?Naleigh was super excited about having a new baby sister ? until she arrived. Then she was a little hesitant about whether or not she wanted her to stay, and then she became her little protector and is taking on the role of big sister very seriously.?

Justin Bieber: Six Degrees Of Believe

MTV News dissects how Drake, Nicki Minaj, Big Sean and Ludacris ended up on Bieber's new album.
By Jocelyn Vena

<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> reached deep into the <a href="/news/articles/1688047/justin-bieber-hip-hop-swag.jhtml">hip-hop community</a> for the collaborations on his just-released <i>Believe</i>.</P><P>But, his producers on the album leave just as much a stamp on the sound of the recording as his lyrical comrades do on what it says. For that reason, while Bieber remains the star of the release, it's hard not to hear the ladies and gentlemen who worked with the 18-year-old. The collaborations stand as one of the hallmarks of the album.</P><P><img src="http://www.mtv.com/shared/promoimages/bands/b/bieber_justin/infographic_6_degrees/sixdegrees.jpg"></P><P><a href="/news/articles/1687691/justin-bieber-believe-album-details.jhtml"><i>Believe</i></a> sounds like a who's who of music's A-list elite, who give Bieber the backup he needs to make a <a href="/news/articles/1687569/justin-bieber-live-evolution.jhtml">more mature musical statement</a>. With names like Big Sean, Nicki Minaj, Drake and his old pal Ludacris all making cameos, their appearances are highlighted by production credits with pop and hip-hop masters like Diplo, Rodney Jerkins, the Messengers, Mike Posner, Max Martin and Hit-Boy.</P><P>Looking at the roster of talent who wanted to work with the maturing pop stud, you find they are mostly artists and producers who have not only been circling Bieber for some time, but also each other.</P><P>In fact, it's easy to connect these folks in six degrees of separation: <b>Drake</b> and <b>Nicki Minaj</b> are no strangers to working with one another, having appeared most recently on "Make Me Proud" off Drake's <i>Take Care</i>. Nicki has also hooked up with <b>Hit-Boy</b> for several tracks on her <i>Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded</i>. And, Hit-Boy's association with G.O.O.D. Music was famously catalogued on Jay-Z's and Kanye West's "N---as in Paris," which makes him a close, personal friend of <b>Big Sean</b>. Big Sean's <i>Believe</i> track, "As Long As You Love Me," got the production treatment from <b>Rodney Jerkins</b>, who previously worked with <b>Ludacris</b> on his song "What Them Girls Like," which brings us back to Bieber: Bieber and Luda originally laid the foundation for a beautiful friendship on the teen's defining tune "Baby."</P><P>Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, explained the generation of all of the collaborations to MTV News:</P><P>"Kanye was like, 'You should get Big Sean on that record.' And we're close with Sean, and Sean just jumped on there. It was very natural," Braun recalled. "Luda, of course, we did 'Baby.' We played 'All Around the World,' and we were like, 'Who would make sense?' And Justin's like, 'Luda would kill it.'</P><P>"Nicki was getting on another one of our records, and then we did 'Beauty and the Beat,' and she heard it, and she was like, 'I want to get on that.' And, actually, we were gonna put Usher on it at first, but then we heard Nicki's verse, and we were like, 'Damn.' "</P><P>Of course, those collaborations came up a bit more spur of the moment, but there's one that had been long in-the-works. "The Drake thing is something he and Drake have been talking about for like two years," Braun said. "And then they finally went into the studio, and they wrote that song together. ... I'm glad that 'Right Here' came about. ... Drake was like, 'I don't want to do just a rap song. I want to sing with you, do a song for the ladies.' Everyone seems to love that song."</P><P><i>Which is your favorite collaboration on </i>Believe<i>?

Michael Jackson Immortal Tour: How They Uphold The Legacy

MTV News gets a behind-the-scenes look at the Cirque Du Soleil tribute to the King of Pop.
By Uptin Saiidi

<P><b>NEWARK</b> &#8212; Since its opening, <a href="/news/articles/1682347/michael-jackson-immortal-cirque.jhtml">Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour</a> by Cirque Du Soleil has honored the King of Pop through music, dance and acrobatics 117 times. Night after night, artists celebrate the life of the late Michael Jackson, but how do they take his iconic legacy and put it into a production? When the tour came to New York City this week, MTV News went behind the scenes to talk with the creative forces and performers to find out.</P><P>The artists (all 65 of them) had limited time to train and learn choreography -- an especially difficult feat when it's honoring MJ's signature moves. It was a kind of pressure that creative director Tara Young certainly learned to channel into a positive force.</P><P><CENTER><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:755805/cp~vid%3D755805%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A755805" width="430" height="242" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></CENTER></P><P>"I think it is a pressure for sure; something I share with the whole building here is that we have nothing to prove, only to share," Young told MTV News. "We have an opportunity to share what Michael would have wanted to share and the pressure is only there to achieve excellence."</P><P>For Felix Cane, a two-time world champion pole dancer who does a captivating performance to "Danger," it was all about using that pressure to help the audience to remember the pop icon. "You are sharing this passion with them, and this love of MJ. There's times in the show when some people and I, myself, might have shed a few tears."</P><P>That pressure never felt as great as when the Jackson family sat in the front row at a show in Montreal, an experience Young described as "inspiring." When asked what MJ would think if he were sitting there with them, Young smiled, "He would feel such a sense of pride of what he has given us to work with. It evokes emotions in people that they didn't even know were going to come out."</P><P>I think everyone feels inspired, which evokes a certain feeling of change," Young added. "You feel a sadness too because he is not with us anymore, and that is an emotion that is wonderful too actually ... just to honor him."</P><P>The tour will continue in North America through the summer, before heading to Europe this fall.</P><P><i>Have you seen Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour?

How Justin Bieber Found His Hip-Hop Swag

Following the release of his hip-hop-heavy Believe, MTV News looks at the young pop star's swaggiest moments.
By Rob Markman, with additional reporting by Jocelyn Vena

<P>You'd think a 1995 collaboration between the King of Pop, Michael Jackson and rap's widely recognized G.O.A.T., the Notorious B.I.G., would have made a bigger wave, but when MJ released <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2w1KXE5QMQ" target="_blank">"This Time Around"</a> with Biggie Smalls 17 years ago, mixing pop with hip-hop was still very taboo. Despite the top billing, the track hit with a relative thud. The truth is it just didn't feel organic, it's not like Mike grew up listening to rap in Gary, Indiana. In the 1960s, the art form as we know it today just didn't exist.</P><P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> was a 1-year old when the King of Pop snagged the King of Hip-Hop for a feature. And unlike Jackson, he grew up during an era when rap stars like Biggie, Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur were just as big as their pop counterparts &#8212; sometimes bigger. That's why Bieber mixes hip-hop so seamlessly on his new album <i>Believe.</i></P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Scooter Braun Knows Justin Bieber Is 'Authentic'" id="vid:793827" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"One, I think they know it's authentic and two, you got to remember Justin's past," JB's manager Scooter Braun told MTV News. "I was the vice president of So So Def Records and then I left and Justin was the second artist I found after Asher Roth. So here's this 13-year-old living in Atlanta, no one knows who he is, and he's just riding around with me and we're in the studio with Ludacris. We're in the studio with T.I. We're in the studio with Big Boi from OutKast, hanging out and he got exposed to that really early."</P><P>Ludacris, Drake, Big Sean and Nicki Minaj all appear on the 13-track <i>Believe,</i> but JB's hip-hop jones didn't develop overnight. It's been years in the making. MTV News takes a look back at seven of Justin's defining hip-hop moments.</P><P><a href="/news/articles/1629953/justin-biebers-baby-features-ludacris-rapping-about-first-love.jhtml"><b>"Baby" featuring Ludacris</b> </a><br> JB didn't have much rapper swag when he dropped "Baby" with Ludacris at the top of 2010, but the track sounded good, especially when Luda dropped his rapid-fire bars over the feel-good track. When he performed a remixed version of the track with fellow Canadian Drake at the 2010 Juno Awards, Justin further proved that he can rock with rap's finest.</P><P><a href="/news/articles/1631018/we-world-remake-brings-lil-wayne-kanye-west-many-more-together-haiti.jhtml"><b>"We Are the World 25 For Haiti"</b></a><br> After the devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010, Quincy Jones assembled an all-star cast of musicians like Kanye West, Usher, Janet Jackson and Justin Bieber to remake the 1985 classic. During the recording, the Biebs got to kick it with notable MCs like Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes and his long-time friend Nipsey Hussle.</P><P><a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/06/19/justin-bieber-gifs-swag/"><b>The Swaggest GIFs Of Justin Bieber Ever!</a></b></P><P><a href="/news/articles/1646789/kanye-west-drops-justin-bieber-runaway-love-remix.jhtml"><b>"Runaway Love" Remix Featuring Kanye West and Raekwon</b> </a> <br> Justin Biebs proved he "ain't nothing to f--- with" in August 2010 when he linked up with Kanye West and Raekwon for his "Runaway Love" remix. The Chef and Yeezy rapped on the track which sampled Wu-Tang Clan's dusty underground favorite "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F--- Wit."</P><P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/justin-biebers-vma-night/1647655/5199510/photo.jhtml"><b>JB and Nicki Sitting In A Tree</b></a><br> So what do Nas and Justin Bieber Have in common? OK, kissing Nicki Minaj on the cheek at the 2010 Video Music Awards doesn't really give Justin <i>that</i> much rap cred, the voluptuous Nicki could sing country music and we would've been just as jealous.</P><P><a href="/news/articles/1649967/justin-bieber-displays-his-rap-skills-new-twitter-video.jhtml"><b>"Speaking in Tongues" Freestyle</b></a><br> Let's face it, if you plan on spitting rap bars, the name Justin Bieber just isn't going to cut it. Enter Shawty Mane: JB's swagged-out alter-ego. Back in October 2010, Justin showed that singing wasn't his only talent when he rapped over Vado and Cam'ron's "Speaking in Tongues." The freestyles didn't stop there; Shawty Mane also spit bars over the Throne's "Otis," Gang Starr's "DWYCK" and the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Who Shot Ya?"</P><P><a href="/news/articles/1673011/justin-bieber-tyler-the-creator.jhtml"><b>The Biebs Shuts Up Tyler, the Creator</b></a><br> It takes a lot to quiet Odd Future's resident loud mouth Tyler, the Creator, but when he and JB met in February 2011, the multiplatinum pop star didn't let Wolf Haley get a word in edge wise. "When I got in there, he was talkin' about the 'Yonkers' video and sh--. It was weird, because I was sitting here starstruck, like, 'Oh, f---, it's Bieber. He's asking me questions.' I'm like, 'Shut the f--- up so I can talk to you,' " Tyler told MTV News.</P><P><a href="/news/articles/1686591/justin-bieber-2-chainz-lil-swaggy.jhtml"><b>Lil Swaggy Is Born</b></a><br> Not only did 2 Chainz bless JB with a killer verse for his "Girlfriend" remix, the ATL hit-maker also blessed Bieber with a new moniker. "I call him Lil Swaggy," 2 Chainz told MTV News. Sounds like a winner to us.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="'Bieber Live'" id="id:1687833" width="415" height="255"></div><p></p>

Kim Kardashian, Beyonce Bond At Watch The Throne Concert

Kanye West and Jay-Z's lady loves look chummy while dancing together at Birmingham, England, show.
By Jocelyn Vena

<P>Kim Kardashian and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/knowles_beyonce/artist.jhtml">Beyonc&#233;</a> got chummy while watching their men perform at a <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/west_kanye/artist.jhtml">Kanye West</a>/ <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/jay_z/artist.jhtml">Jay-Z</a> gig in Birmingham, England, on Friday.</P><P>The women were <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/06/23/beyonce-kim-kardashian-hang-kanye-west-show">photographed</a> giggling with one another among the <i>Watch the Throne</i> tour concertgoers. <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/kim-kardashian-dances-with-beyonce-at-kanye-west-and-jay-zs-concert-2012236#ixzz1yoZVf9sE" target="_blank">Usmagazine.com</a> reports that the ladies, dressed rather casually, had a full-on ladies' night. "Kim and Beyonc&#233; were dancing all night!" a source said. "They even went into the mosh pit! It was the most hectic thing ever!"</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="'Kim Is So Happy' With Kanye West, Khloe Kardashian Says" id="vid:768812" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>In another photo taken Friday night, Kim looked like she was singing along while Queen B rested her head on the reality star's shoulder. It's the first time Jay and Yeezy's lady loves have been photographed together. There had been previous reports that B was shunning K even though Kim had been scrambling to make a connection to the pop star. A source adds that it was just a rumor. "Kim and Beyonc&#233; have always been cool," the insider said. "Beyonc&#233; and Jay love Kim and think she's a good match for Kanye."</P><P>On Sunday night, the second half of <a href="/news/articles/1688065/kim-kardashian-oprah-kanye-west-dating.jhtml">Oprah Winfrey's interview</a> with the Kardashian family aired. In this installment Kim opened up about being friends with the rapper for years before they took a chance on love.</P><P>"We met maybe almost a decade ago. I've known him for a really long time &#8212; we've been friends for like six or seven years &#8212; so it's very comforting to have someone that knows everything about you that respects you, understands, has gone through similar things," the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star said. "I can really relate to his mother passing, he can really relate to my father passing. I mean, there's so many similarities in our life that I feel like I'm at a really happy, good space.</P><P>"I don't know why it took so long for us to kind of get together," she added. "But I think I needed to go through all my experiences and some that he's gone through."</P><P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/?fid=1617615"><img src="http://www.mtv.com/news/photos/s/spotted/banner/spotted.jpg"></a></p>

Will Black Keys Team Up With Ke$ha? First They Want Jim Nabors

The duo sat down with MTV News in Berlin to discuss a pair of unlikely collaborations.
By James Montgomery

<P>Theirs is a relationship that has spanned time and Twitter, <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/keshasuxx/status/77286418598211584" target="_blank">seafood</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/keshasuxx/status/157523381602889728" target="_blank">shaving</a>, but over the years, the unlikely bond between the <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/black_keys/artist.jhtml">Black Keys</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/id_3213641/artist.jhtml">Ke$ha</a> has grown to become something <i>more</i>: a genuine friendship, marked with the occasional trespassing charge.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Would The Black Keys Ever Collaborate With Ke$ha?" id="vid:731631.id:1678505" width="240" height="211"></div><p></P><P>"We're friends with her, we've known her since way before she was famous, before she was even a singer, I guess," Keys drummer Patrick Carney told MTV News. "When she was 16 years old, she used to sneak into our shows. We kind of became friends with her by kicking her out of our backstage room, over and over again. She actually has snuck into shows in L.A., San Diego, Coachella ..."</P><P>"She snuck in and [got] kicked out of one show, like, <i>five</i> times," frontman Dan Auerbach added. "[She] snuck in through the kitchen. I don't know if she's such a big fan; she just likes breaking the rules."</P><P>So, when MTV News sat down with the 'Keys in Berlin during the premiere of their <a href="/news/articles/1678662/black-keys-gold-on-the-ceiling-music-video.jhtml">"Gold on the Ceiling"</a> video, we had to ask if their friendship with Ke$ha would take the next step: an actual musical collaboration. It's not all that far-fetched, considering both Ke$h and Auerbach live in Nashville ("I see her every once in a while flying by in her T-Top [convertible]," Auerbach laughed), and recently, the glittery one has logged studio time with <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/keshasuxx/status/160846424609787906" target="_blank">the Flaming Lips</a>. So, could we see a team-up on the next Black Keys album?</P><P>"I guess, I don't know," Carney said. "We don't really do that many collaborations, really."</P><P>OK, so if a Ke$ha collabo isn't in the cards, just who would the 'Keys like to work with next? Well, as it turns out, they've got their eyes set on landing a very big star for the next record ... even if they mistakenly believe he's deceased.</P><P>"We both want to work with Jim Nabors very badly, but apparently he's not with us anymore," Carney said. Oh, <a href="http://www.jimnabors.com/" target="_blank">but he is.</a> Which means that, much like Nabors, the dream is alive. The Ke$ha collabo? Eh, probably not so much.</P><P><i>Should the Black Keys hit the studio with Ke$ha? Leave your comment below!</i></p>

People may not know that," Big Sean told MTV News about working with the 18-year-old on the Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins-produced track. "He is a good dude, man. And I ain't toning down nothing. I'm diverse &#8212; I can write raps to any type of song."</P><P>MTV News recently chatted with Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, about the album's potential next single, and he shared that "As Long as You Love Me" was at the top of the list of candidates to get the official single treatment.</P><P>"We haven't picked the next single," he said. "We're gonna see how different songs react off the album. 'As Long as You Love Me' [with Big Sean] is getting a lot of love, so is 'All Around the World' [with Ludacris]. So is 'Die in Your Arms.' 'Beauty and the Beat' is coming with the album. We're gonna see what the next single is. We're gonna figure that out."</P><P>In addition to preparing to shoot a video for the track, Bieber is also still in promo mode, spreading the word about his album, as well as prepping for his world tour, which kicks off in September in the U.S.</P><P>"The tour starts at the end of September ... by the end of 2013 we're gonna hit the whole world," Braun explained. "He has been watching a tremendous amount of Michael Jackson concerts from the '80s and '90s. And he has been talking to me about how Michael incorporated magic and pyro and reveals and he wants to bring in that. [But] still do that acoustic thing, but he wants to take it to a whole new level.</P><P>"It's just really exciting," he continued. "Nothing makes him happier than being onstage. So it's gonna be fun to get back onto the road. I think he was an amazing performer before, but his level of dance and musicianship and his range [has grown]. He's a veteran now. I think he wants to take it to a completely new level."</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Justin Bieber Is A 'True G,' Big Sean Says" id="vid:792807" width="415" height="255"></div><p></p>

Do Foo Fighters Know Robert Pattinson From Robert Plant?

During band's rehearsal break for Sunday's Movie Awards, we put Foos to the test.
By Ryan J. Downey, with reporting by Jim Cantiello

<P><b>UNIVERSAL CITY, California</b> &#8212; Hard rock, heavy metal, hardcore and punk have long gone hand-in-hand with evil wizards, magic, vampires and werewolves. And with a collective sub-cultural pedigree that includes stints in the Germs, No Use for a Name, Sunny Day Real Estate, Scream and some band called Nirvana, you'd think the <a href="/music/artist/foo_fighters/artist.jhtml">Foo Fighters</a> &#8212; set to perform at Sunday's <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/movieawards/2011/">Movie Awards</a> &#8212; would know their "Potter" from their Zeppelin.
