'Walking Dead' Creator Stays 'Invincible' During Show's Hiatus
Comic-book writer talks to MTV News about what to expect in season three, which begins filming next week.

Robert Kirkman is a busy man. Not only is the comic book writer and executive producer behind the flesh-craving juggernaut known as "The Walking Dead" currently hard at work on the AMC series' upcoming third season — "We begin filming next week," Kirkman told MTV News during a recent interview — he's also keeping his nose buried in the paneled page, cooking up brand new highs and lows for longtime readers of his flagship titles.
In the pages of Kirkman's superhero epic "Invincible," the writer has put lead character Mark Grayson through the wringer recently. "He's been a bit under the weather, slightly near death," Kirkman cracked during our chat. Replacing him in the yellow-and-blue tights for the time being is Bulletproof, an "Invincible" mainstay who always harbored a secret desire to wear the Invincible uniform. It's all part of the build-up toward the milestone issue #100, launching in January 2013.
"That's actually the 10-year anniversary of the first issue shipping. We totally shipped some issues late to make sure the timing worked out," he joked. "We know what we're doing here!"
Staying in the "Invincible" universe, Kirkman's bringing the superhero team at the center of "Guarding the Globe" back for an all-new ongoing series from writer Phil Hester ("Firebreather") and illustrator Todd Nauck ("Young Justice"), with the Bulletproof-Invincible tagging along for the ride.
"He'll be a big part of that series," Kirkman revealed, adding that "Guarding the Globe" was created out of a desire to explore the many characters that "Invincible" doesn't have room to focus on in depth. "Corey Walker, Ryan Ottley and I have created a bunch of characters for Invincible, just something that we'd like to do. After we'd done 100 issues, we figured if we gave everyone a page, we'd still only see them every four or five issues. There are just so many characters we never get around to showing or doing anything interesting with. It makes sense to have this second book that can focus on Brit, Black Samson and some of the newer cast like Yeti and Kaboomerang, a favorite of mine."
Of course, Kirkman's also been working on a little thing you may have heard about: "The Walking Dead." Like "Invincible," the "Walking Dead" comic book series is rapidly approaching its 100th issue. The milestone event will hit comic shops this July, right in time for Comic-Con, and smack dab in the middle of the writer's "Something to Fear" story line.
"They basically discovered this larger community that's part of a network," Kirkman said of what's been happening in recent issues of "Walking Dead." "To be a part of this network and to share resources, they have to become involved in this sort of barter system, where everybody contributes where they can to get something in return. Rick realizes that the only thing he can contribute is protection and, essentially, being a badass — because everyone in his group is a bunch of badasses. This other group is beholden to this very violent group of people who basically rule through intimidation. Rick says, 'I'll take care of this group for you if you put us into your bartering network, and give us food.' Now Rick has to go back to his allies and sell them on it. He's gone out on a limb and volunteered them for something very dangerous."
Very dangerous indeed, if the recently revealed "Walking Dead" #100 cover is any indication. The illustration depicts the most prominent deceased characters from "Walking Dead" lore strewn about a virtually endless pile of bodies — needless to say, don't go seeking out the cover if you're afraid of "Walking Dead" TV spoilers. Given the nature of the upcoming arc, it's looking like even more bodies will join that pile by the time issue #101 hits shelves.
"Maybe slightly before #101," he teased. "We'll see."
Kirkman's work in comics goes far beyond "Invincible," "Guarding the Globe" and "Walking Dead." His latest book, is currently developing for television (once again through AMC). At the moment, however, much of the writer's time is devoted to "Walking Dead" season three, which begins production next week and hits airwaves next fall. Season two cleaned house on several fan-favorite characters including Shane and Dale, leaving the door wide open for some new memorable faces, such as the despicable Governor played by British actor David Morrissey.
But easily the most anticipated newcomer of the bunch is Michonne, the sword-wielding zombie killer introduced in the season-two finale. Danai Gurira plays the role in season three, and Kirkman said she has a lot of hard work ahead of her.
"Danai is an absolutely fantastic actress," he said. "That role is going to be absolutely grueling. It'll put her through her paces. She'll have to do a lot of sword work. I can't say a lot about what she's going to do, but everyone who has read the comic knows Michonne is a badass. We'll see a lot of that in the show as well. Danai has really been diving into that head first with lots of sword training. We begin filming next week, so we'll be working with her a lot, and we're excited to have her on board."

Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball Kicks Off Amid Protests
Seoul, South Korea, set list heavy on new material, but Gaga's biggest hits come out to play.
By John Mitchell

Lady Gaga kicked off her hotly awaited Born This Way Ball at Seoul, South Korea's Olympic Stadium on Friday (April 27) in front of 45,000 fans, and despite protests from Christian groups saying Mother Monster was "obscene" and could "taint" young people with her performance, the concert appears to have gone on without incident.
Intrepid Twitter fans are already showing off pictures and video of the BTW Ball's enormous Gothic castle backdrop and myriad costume changes, making it clear that Gaga has outdone even her own Monster Ball in terms of spectacle.
While we wait for reviews to trickle in from halfway around the world, one thing is certain: No minors were corrupted at the show. Earlier this month, the Korea Media Rating Board decided to elevate the age rating for the concert from 12 to 18, prohibiting minors from seeing the concert. When the board notified Gaga's tour promotion company and a sponsor of the change in age restrictions, it did not offer a reason why the show — which at the time was still in rehearsals and had not been reviewed publicly — was considered unsuitable for children under 18.
The likely catalyst for the board's decision came more into focus as the concert neared and protests from a group of conservative Christians calling itself the Alliance for Sound Culture in Sexuality ramped up. The group covered Seoul with posters accusing Gaga of "spreading unhealthy sexual culture" through "lewd lyrics and performances."
The superstar and her fans, however, were undeterred. Though she tweeted her hopes that the Korea Media Rating Board would reverse its decision (it didn't), she continued on as planned. Many fans reportedly arrived at the show wearing versions of Gaga's most well-known flamboyant costumes, and there have been no reports of disturbances at the concert.
Before the show, Gaga tweeted, "I can you hear you Korea. I'm shaking."
Gaga's performance was heavy on material from her Born this Way album, though her biggest hits, including "Bad Romance," Poker Face" and "Just Dance," were represented.
Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball set list:
» "Highway Unicorn"
» "Government Hooker"
» "Born This Way"
» "Bloody Mary"
» "Bad Romance"
» "Fashion of His Love"
» "The Queen"
» "Just Dance"
» "Love Game"
» "Telephone"
» "Just Dance"
» "Heavy Metal Lover"
» "Bad Kids"
» "Hair"
» "Yoü and I"
» "Electric Chapel"
» "Americano"
» "Poker Face"
» "Scheiße"
» "The Edge of Glory"
» "Marry the Night"

Ying Wu, 23
Ying Wu, a 23-year-old Asian woman, was shot and killed Wednesday, April 11, in the 2700 block of Raymond Avenue in Adams-Normandie, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
After a night at the University of Southern California library, Ming Qu, a 23-year-old Asian man, drove Wu to the house where she was renting a room, less than a mile from campus.
Qu double-parked in front of the home early Wednesday morning as they continued talking. A shooter approached Qu's BMW and opened fire, killing both students, police said.
Qu attempted to run for help after he was shot in the head and was found collapsed on a nearby porch, police said. Wu was found slumped over in the passenger seat of the car, shot in the chest.
The students were close friends who spent evenings chatting on the front porch of the house where Wu lived, according to police sources who requested anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.
Because it was raining that night, police said, they believe the pair decided to stay in the car, which friends said was a 2003 model that Qu bought for about $10,000.
LAPD Deputy Chief Pat Gannon said Raymond Avenue is a quiet residential street, and that the deadly events unfolded with no one around. Neighbors said they heard the gunshots and afterward saw someone in dark clothing running from the scene, Gannon said.
"There was a dark-colored car, possibly an American model, that pulled away right after the shots were fired." Gannon said. "It had been idling down the street."
He said detectives would like to know if the vehicle is connected to the crime.
Sources familiar with the investigation say security cameras so far have not provided any clues to the shooter's identity.
Detectives want anyone who passed through the area around the time of the shooting to contact the Police Department. So far, investigators say they believe that the students were not targeted but may have been the victims of a random crime of opportunity.
Though the area is home to Rollin 20s Crips, crime in the area has dropped dramatically in the last decade.
Anyone with information about the slayings is asked to contact the Los Angeles Police Department at (877) 527-3247. Tipsters wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.

Drake Teases 2 Chainz And Meek Mill Collabos On Tour
'I have very strong alliances with these guys that are on this tour with me,' Drake says of his Club Paradise tourmates.
By Rob Markman

There are no lightweights on the bill for Drake's upcoming Club Paradise Tour.
While hitting the road with J. Cole, Waka Flocka Flame, Meek Mill, 2 Chainz and French Montana seems like a no-brainer for any rapper looking to rule the summer touring season, Drake insists he didn't choose the hottest young talent just because — there are genuine connections there.
"I have very strong alliances with these guys that are on this tour with me," Drake said during a conference call Tuesday (April 24). "I guess it's safe to say now that anybody that I didn't have a song with before, I have a song with now. I made sure of that."
For those keeping score, Drake and J. Cole partnered up on "In the Morning," a warm-up single from the Roc Nation rookie's 2011 debut album. French and Drizzy teamed up with Rick Ross, on Rozay's "Stay Schemin'," and Waka and the Take Care spitter leaked their strip-club ode "Round of Applause" last September.
Drake hasn't yet released music with Meek Mill or 2 Chainz; those collaborations will come in conjunction with the outdoor tour. "Along with this tour, fans are also going to get some exciting musical material that will probably end up dropping a few days before the tour, so that we can perform it on tour," Drizzy said.
For the Toronto MC, summertime is the best time for new music, and he designed this current amphitheater leg of Club Paradise to come at a time when he plans to release some fresh tunes. "I want to go out on tour with the most exciting artists right now, and I want to make sure that I have songs with all of them," he said. "If we start getting into it and we start really vibing, maybe the last few nights, it's a collaboration show, maybe we do all of our songs onstage together."
Whether fans actually get to see all six MCs rocking at once remains to be seen, but Drizzy does believe that each act will bring their own brand of excitement. Don't arrive fashionably late, he warned.
"On this tour, I encourage people to get there early, because it's more [of] a festival vibe, if anything," he said. "It's one of those days that's it's going to start during the sunlight and the sun's going to drop, it's outdoors, it's summertime ... I want people to make it a day."
The amphitheater leg of Drake's Club Paradise Tour kicks off May 7 in Concord, California.

Boyz II Men: The 'Battle Of The Boy Bands' Forefathers
Boyz up against longtime rivals Jodeci in round one; voting open now!
By John Mitchell, with reporting by Jocelyn Vena
Boyz II Men
Photo: Jeff Fusco/ Getty Images
Our Battle of the Boy Bands got off to a roaring start Monday as fans of new groups like the Wanted and One Direction and legacy acts like 'NSYNC and New Kids on the Block hit our bracket hard to push their favorites on to the next round.
One group that is in it to win it is Boyz II Men, who told MTV News they were among the "progenitors" of the entire boy-band genre. "We were kind of like the progenitors, the torch holders of a lot of the artists, of a lot of the boy bands that came about," Nathan Morris told us.
Highest Chart Achievement
In the mid-'90s, Boyz II Men ruled the charts. That's not hyperbole, either — three of the top-10 longest-running #1 singles in the history of the Billboard chart belong to the band. Their top song, though, is actually a duet, and with 16 weeks spent atop the chart, it's also the biggest single ever: "One Sweet Day" with Mariah Carey.
Boyz II Men are one of just four artists or groups to have held the #1 spot for at least 50 weeks cumulatively. On the all-time list, they fall at #4, behind only (ahem!) Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Carey. (With 47 weeks, Usher falls just short at #5.) Clearly, the band has quite a few chart achievements under its belt.
Standout Video
The Boyz made a series of great videos for their hits "End of the Road," "I'll Make Love to You" and "Water Runs Dry," but for its cameos alone, "On Bended Knee" rises above. In the clip, each band member breaks up with and eventually reconciles with a girlfriend, played by four famous actresses: Victoria Rowell, Renée Jones and, most importantly for nostalgia addicts, Kim Fields (Tootie from "The Facts of Life" and later "Living Single") and Lark Voorhies (that's Lisa Turtle from "Saved by the Bell" to you).
Defining Tune
Regardless of your age, chances are you know every word to many of Boyz II Men's greatest hits, so it's hard to pick just one defining tune. But there really is something special about 1994's "I'll Make Love to You." Discounting their Carey collab "One Sweet Day," the song is the band's biggest standalone hit (14 weeks at #1). The Babyface-written song defines the phrase "power ballad" and won the group a 1995 Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
Debut Album
These guys got straight to the hitmaking with their 1991 debut, Cooleyhighharmony. Executive produced by Michael Bivins of New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe, the album introduced the Boyz in grand fashion with the funky R&B jam "Motownphilly" and brought them another hit with "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday."
Biggest Competition
That would most definitely be Jodeci, who in the '90s went head to head with the Boyz on the charts with their similar (if not as internationally successful and chart-topping) blending of R&B and soul.
So, how does the band feel about the competition? Well, they seem to have a lot of respect for their former competitors. Regarding Jodeci, Boyz II Men's Shawn Stockman told MTV News, "It was a mutual respect that we had for those guys and them for us."
After revealing that the two bands once had a bit of a beef, Stockman elaborated that it was really just "friendly competition." "I'm sure they had the same mentality as far as being onstage and trying to outdo us just like we were trying to outdo them," he shared. "They were great artists, and we didn't want to have people talking about [how] they did better than us, just like they probably felt the same way."
Voting in round one of MTV's Battle of the Boy Bands is now open and runs until noon ET on Thursday, April 26. Winners are determined by fan votes, so if your favorite band made the cut, make sure you keep voting. Spread the word on Twitter using the hashtag #BBB and like us on Facebook for updates!

Beyond virtualization: Envisioning true cloud computing
I find it puzzling whenever I come across any reasonably sized IT infrastructure that has little or no virtualization in place, and my puzzlement turns to amazement if there's no plan to embrace virtualization in the near future. Whether it's due to the "get off my lawn" attitude that eventually killed off many AS/400 admins or simply a budget issue, clinging to a traditional physical infrastructure today is madness.

Double Take: Getting To The Bottom Of 'Hot Problems'
The teen twosome talks to MTV News about their viral video and how it all happened... sort of.

Three days and more than 1 million streams later, Double Take are certifiable Internet sensations. The teen twosome's track, the hotly debated "Hot Problems," is a song about all the troubles attractive people face, if you couldn't guess from the title. The video features little more than the high school seniors hanging out in a limo mugging for the camera.
The two high schoolers have risen to the ranks of Rebecca Black heights, but very little is actually known about them. And, when MTV News chatted with them on Thursday afternoon, it seemed they still wanted to keep the details about who they are and who is helping them become so popular as vague as possible.
"We're working with a production company, but it's more of a behind-the-scenes thing," Lauren explained. "We don't like to talk about it that much."
The girls wouldn't give their last names, and only added this information about how "Hot Problems" ended up an Internet hot commodity: "We are getting some help, but in the end we have friends helping us out, a bunch of different people. We don't want to drag them into this," she added, not confirming what the role of Old Bailey Productions has. "It's been crazy for us too to get so much attention and we don't want this to affect their lives too much."
On their video's official YouTube page it notes that OBP "produced the video as a favor," and the twosome wasn't willing to go into more details. They were more forthcoming about what prompted them to write the track, which has been debated, a lot, leaving many people wondering if the pair is even serious or if it's just a big Internet joke, since most opinions were unfavorable.
"It was all just for fun and to just have something we could share with our friends," Drew said. "Well, we enjoy writing funny lyrics and songs and we decided that we really liked this one. So we decided to make it into a song and video, eventually. We really had no intentions when we put this up to begin with, so seeing it take so rapidly, we haven't really had a chance to decide what we want to do. I think that hopefully there could be a future with it."
The overnight rise to online fame has been surprising to the pair. Drew noted, "It was shocking. It hasn't really sunken in for any of us. The first day it was a joke around the school and then the next day we had friends of friends contacting us."
"And then the third day is when it went viral," Lauren added, "I would say." Well, now that the world is looking at them, Lauren admitted, "I don't think we're going to be the next Adele, but we do really like writing songs and coming up with lyrics. Who knows? Maybe we'll get into that."

Dick Clark Dead At 82
'American Bandstand' host has been a TV staple for more than 50 years.
By Gil Kaufman

One of television's most enduring personalities, Dick Clark, died on Wednesday (April 18) after suffering from a massive heart attack. According to TMZ, the longtime host of "American Bandstand" and "New Year's Rockin' Eve" had been in a Los Angeles hospital undergoing an outpatient procedure when the heart attack struck, killing him at age 82.
Clark had weathered a number of serious ailments since 2004, when he suffered a major stroke, forcing him to retire from "Rockin' Eve," which he had hosted since 1972. His death comes after the man known as "America's Oldest Teenager" spent a long career building some of the most iconic brands in television, from "American Bandstand" and "Rockin' Eve" to the American Music Awards and such popular shows as the "$25,000 Pyramid" and "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes."
Photos: The life and career of Dick Clark
But it was "Bandstand" that helped Clark stake a claim as one of the people who helped put rock and roll on the map, and, more importantly, into people's homes on TV. After taking over a low-rated afternoon show featuring teens dancing to the day's hits on an interim basis, Clark was bumped up to full-time host in 1956. The show went national on ABC as "American Bandstand" and became a sensation, helping to advance the careers of dozens of early rock stars such as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry thanks to his "rate-a-record" segment, which helped Clark earn a reputation as a musical tastemaker.
The show ran daily Monday-Friday until 1963 and then once-a-week on Saturdays through 1989. Once Clark made the move to Hollywood in 1963 his Dick Clark Productions became a TV powerhouse, producing TV shows as well as made-for-TV movies.
Though he was known for his sharp business acumen and fierce dedication to his signature shows — he returned sporadically to "Rockin' Eve" beginning in 2006 despite suffering some speech problems due to the stroke — Clark was, above all, the consummate on-camera professional. With his charming, unflappable style, Clark yearned to stay forever young.
Born Richard Wagstaff Clark in Mount Vernon, New York, on November 30, 1929, Clark was destined for a career in the entertainment business. He began working in the mailroom of the WRUN radio station in upstate New York before he graduated from high school, working for his father and eventually taking on the job of weatherman and announcer.
After spinning records on the college station during his time at Syracuse University, Clark graduated in 1951 with a degree in business and worked a number of radio jobs before landing the "Bandstand" gig.
According to ABC News the Museum of Broadcast Communication calculated that Dick Clark Productions had churned out more than 7,500 hours of TV programming, including more than 30 series, 250 specials and 20 TV and big screen films. That volume of material not only brought Clark untold millions, but also earned him induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Emmys, Grammys and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
As Clark himself would have said it with his signature catchphrase, "For now, Dick Clark ... so long."

Debunking the Top 3 Myths About Carpeting rash and hives
For several decades, carpets have already been among probably the most favorite floor decoration selections. Carpets not merely improve the beauty of a space but also aid minimize noise and insulate rooms. Even so, you will discover numerous myths about carpets that deter many from using them. Ahead of you make a selection to get a carpet for you personally property, do take a look at a number of the most favorite myths and see how they may be debunked by facts.
• Myth1: "Carpets support (or encourage) mildew and mold to grow."
Fact: Excess moisture and dirt when coupled with poor cleaning and/or maintenance habits lead to the growth of mildew and mold. Any surface like tiles, windowpanes, wooden tables, and not just carpets,allergy skin rash, when not cleaned properly, has particles on it,rash and hives, and when left, moisture with these particles can lead to the occurrence and growth of mold. It is, therefore, imperative that carpets and other things are kept clean and dry to avoid growth of mildew or mold. In case there is spills,for example, these should be cleaned up immediately.
Reference: Dr Mike Berry from the University of North Carolina conducted a study where he took materials like tiles, materials used in construction, drywall and carpets, and exposed them to humidity and high temperatures for three days. These conditions along with a food source are necessary for mildew and mold to grow. At the end of the test period, all the materials, except the synthetic carpet, were covered with mold.
• Myth 2: "Carpets increase the risk of allergies and asthma incidents."
Fact: Dust particles that are airborne finally settle on the carpet and get trapped. Along with these are allergens and other contaminants. The fibers with the carpet act as a filter and do not allow the dust particles to get airborne again.
Reference: It was a preferred belief in Sweden that carpets caused allergies. This led to the Swedes not applying carpets for more than a decade to support lessen allergy cases. However,a study by the scientists in the Swedish Institute of Fibre and Polymer Research proved that since 1975 while there was a decline in the use of carpets, there was an increase in the occurrence of allergies amongst the Swedes.
• Myth 3: "Carpets are unsustainable and environmentally unfriendly."
Fact: This particular myth is of great interest to most due to our interest in going green. The polymer material used to manufacture carpets ultimately comes from hydrocarbons and is considered unsustainable by most. In the last two to three decades, carpet manufacturers have employed methods to minimize waste production and energy consumption and in effect, gradually have reduced the "carpet's footprints".
Reference: The CARE program - Carpet America Recovery - is working hard to lessen the carpet's footprint. Every year, around 6 billion pounds of hydrocarbons go into landfills as carpets. There is a commitment to decrease this number by 40% and direct it to other value recovery opportunities, thereby helping the environment.
These are some of the most talked about myths related to carpets. It is most useful to know what will work where, how and why, rather than to believe in what you may happen to be led to believe. It is true that the carpet industry is undergoing continuous changes and progress thereby making the product better and easier to use. You will discover constant initiatives being taken to handle related myths and address them.

Nas Gives 'Behind The Music' Viewers 'A Peek Inside'
'If you don't tell your story, somebody else will,' he tells MTV News about why he decided to open up.
By Nadeska Alexis

Nas has earned a reputation for being a man of few words during interviews, so it comes as a bit of a surprise that the Queens rapper agreed to film a segment of VH1's "Behind the Music." Just as we suspected, though, Nas was very reluctant to open up for the cameras, as he told MTV News.
"It was tough. I didn't want to do 'Behind the Music,' " Nas admits, reflecting on his decision to go through with the taping. "I didn't. But at some point, if you don't tell your story, somebody else will. So I gave them a little peek inside. It can't hurt, just a little peek inside."
In a preview clip from the episode, Nas talks about growing up in the Queensbridge Housing Projects and watching his parents separate at a young age, in addition to talking about his storied hip-hop career. "You can never forget where you come from, no matter how far you go," he says. "In the neighborhood where I'm from, people are killed for nothing. You can't just ignore it. That's the beauty of rap music, because we're going to give you the side that no one wants to talk about."
Before sitting down for the interview, Nas said he didn't know what he would reveal. "I didn't know what I would give them. I just sat down and talked," he said. "I knew that I just needed to say enough. And as I'm talking, I realize, 'Damn, there's a lot of life here.' I'm just giving it to them how I feel, but I'm realizing how much more there is."
For someone known to be tight-lipped, Nas is opening up quite a bit this year. Whatever tales are left untold in his "Behind the Music" episode, fans will find in his upcoming autobiography, which is being penned with help from writer Touré. "The crazy thing is, I just did a book deal to write about my life," Nas said. "At first I thought, 'This is cool,' but then I was going back and forth on it and finally said, 'Let me just do it, man, it's just life.' "
"I've been talking to Touré, and he's been putting the book together," he added. "I thought it would take me two years [to finish], but just with the stuff I gave him, it's enough. It's so much already. I can't give you everything."
Nas' "Behind the Music" debuts Thursday, April 19, at 9 p.m. ET on VH1.

Jennifer Aniston Calls Boyfriend Justin Theroux Her 'Protector'
'He's just a good human being, and so funny,' actress tells Australia's Marie Claire about her BF and 'Wanderlust' co-star.
By Christina Garibaldi

Looks like Jennifer Aniston is lucky in love again. Since her highly publicized 2005 divorce from one of Hollywood's biggest stars, Brad Pitt, the celebrity gossip magazines have speculated about Aniston's love life troubles.
But after filming the flick "Wanderlust" with co-star Justin Theroux, Aniston and the actor struck up a romance. In the May issue of Australia's Marie Claire, the 43-year-old actress gushes to the magazine about why her boyfriend of nearly a year is a keeper.
"He's a protector, for sure," Aniston, who graces the cover, says. "He's just a good human being, and so funny."
The couple filmed "Wanderlust" last fall in Georgia, and the story line centers around a stressed-out couple who travel to a hippie-ish community and learn the meaning of "free love." And that laid-back, secluded atmosphere may have helped Theroux and Aniston's relationship to develop.
"All of a sudden, I began decompressing. It's weird, but it felt like living a normal life; almost like having your anonymity back," Aniston says about the shooting location.
"Nobody bothered us and we were protected as a group. There were no paparazzi and no secret, tricky little cell phone pictures being taken," she continues. "I realized how paranoid and guarded and not trusting — walled-in — I had become. Not consciously so, but just this armor that I kind of have, protective armor. It's not for my friends or family, but for being outside in the world, always on guard."
Aniston had to let her guard down for "Wanderlust," however, especially when filming her much-talked-about topless scene.
"There are always nerves when you shoot a scene like that. But the adrenaline takes you through it and then you have the girls come in and cover you up immediately," Aniston admitted. "I got very comfortable with seeing nude people, pretty much immediately. It was bizarre to know that these were actually nudists — because there's a nudist colony in Clarkesville — and how comfortable they are being nude."
Check out everything we've got on "Wanderlust."

'Justified' Season Finale Leaves Walton Goggins 'Proud' Of Boyd Crowder
Crowder is on the rise to power in Harlan County, and the only place left to go is down, actor Walton Goggins tells MTV News.
By Josh Wigler
Walton Goggins in "Justified"
Photo: FX
Being bad can cost an arm and a leg. And in the case of Robert Quarles, well ... at least he's still got the leg!
"Justified" concluded its third season on Tuesday night, bringing the 13-episode conflict between U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, meat-cleaving money-hoarder Ellstin Limehouse and the bleach-blond OxyContin-popping gangster Quarles to a boil. In the midst of Limehouse's slaughterhouse, Quarles tried to kill Givens with that way-too-cool gun up his sleeve, only to find his gun — and, by extension, most of his arm — on the floor, cleaved off in one smooth move by a butcher-knife-wielding Limehouse. It was a glorious, gory way to close out the Quarles story while still leaving the door open for the immensely watchable Neal McDonough in future seasons, and an equally brilliant way to deliver on the bloody promise of Limehouse's butchering skills, all while keeping Timothy Olyphant's Raylan firmly in the mix.
There was only one ingredient missing from the equation: Boyd Crowder, the most complicated criminal in Harlan County. Played to morally ambiguous perfection by "The Shield" veteran Walton Goggins, Boyd nearly left season three of "Justified" in a prison cell — all-too-familiar circumstances for the pyrotechnically inclined antihero — and, in the process, unavailable for the final showdown between Raylan, Quarles and Limehouse. To a degree, Boyd's exclusion from the scene was disappointing for fans wanting to see the character get some much-craved justice against Quarles and Limehouse, two of his chief rivals throughout season three. But Goggins sees it another way.
"In some ways, Boyd being in that scene, that's what you expected. That's kind of the payoff that everybody was looking for," Goggins told MTV News in a recent interview about how the "Justified" finale played out for Boyd. "In some ways, we don't want to rob people of those expectations, but I believe ['Justified' executive producer Graham Yost] is always looking for different kinds of angles. Boyd was really robbed of his revenge on both [Dickey Bennett, played by 'Lost' alum Jeremy Davies] and on Quarles in a way. I think that's really going to serve the story going forward."
What wouldn't have served the story going forward, however, was sticking Boyd behind bars once again, as many viewers were likely fearing over the course of the season finale. Early on in the episode, Limehouse tipped off Raylan and the authorities to the burial site of Devil, a man Boyd shot and killed earlier in the season as a punishment for treason. Once the body was discovered, Boyd was arrested and left incarcerated for the remainder of the episode. With all signs pointing towards a neon orange jumpsuit as Boyd's season four wardrobe of choice, both the character and the audience were stunned when the mentally ill Arlo Givens — Raylan's criminal father and one of Boyd's closest confidants — stepped up and took credit for killing Devil, condemning himself and saving Boyd in the process. For Goggins, Arlo falling on the sword meant choosing his adoptive son over his biological one, a choice that's steeped in poetry.
"I think it's a story that's, really, been going on since the first season, when Raylan is having problems with his father, and I was having problems with mine," Goggins said. "But Boyd's father dies, so he never has a chance to make up for that lost time or come to a conclusion about his father, to find forgiveness about his father, and to tell him about that. But Boyd can do that with Arlo, and that's real symmetry. It's from the heart. It's pretty cool."
Of course, with Arlo in jail, Boyd's inner circle is now down to two: his against-all-odds girlfriend Ava Crowder (a woman who previously killed Boyd's brother — her husband at the time — and trained a gun on Boyd himself at multiple points throughout "Justified," mind you) and his wheelchair-bound cousin Johnny Crowder. In the finale, it was revealed that Johnny had gone behind Boyd's back and provided the whereabouts of Devil's corpse to Limehouse in an effort to take Boyd's place as kingpin of Harlan. That information never materialized for Boyd, but Goggins doesn't think it'll be long before he sniffs out Johnny's recent deception.
"He doesn't know about Johnny, but for my money, Boyd is smart enough to figure that out," said Goggins, who added that as a result of the season finale, Boyd's list of confidants is going to narrow down to just one: Ava. "There's so much more to unearth in the relationship between Boyd and Ava. Love born out of violence is the greatest gift of all, in some ways. This kind of redemption through caring for another person, maybe that will wind up being the moral of the story for Boyd. It's really exciting to think about."
Goggins is certainly thinking a lot about Boyd's future. Even though he wasn't present in the climactic slaughterhouse showdown, Boyd still got the result he would have wanted. "What's fantastic about the direction of the finale is that Boyd got to clear the deck by not firing a single shot against the two people he wanted to take out," he said. "Because their interests aligned, Raylan did it for him. So now he has a clear cut path to be the king."
But even if it's good to be the king, it sure as sunshine ain't easy. "One of my favorite sayings is 'the only thing about being on top of the hill is that there's nowhere else to go but down.' I think that's something to take into consideration with the story as it goes forward," Goggins said, acknowledging that Boyd has plenty of obstacles standing between himself and Harlan royalty. "I think Limehouse won't be the only person Boyd will have to deal with next season in order to become number one on the call sheet."
Still, Goggins believes that Boyd is now positioned to accomplish greatness in Harlan County, something he's always strived for, not just for himself, but for the people as well. "There's a scene in episode nine that was cut," the actor recalled. "After [Boyd and his candidate for Harlan's sheriff] lost the election on paper, Boyd gives this rallying speech to the people who have assembled in the room, and you look around the room and it's full of prostitutes, derelicts, the 99 percent: the poor and disenfranchised. While on one level it may seem self-serving, how Boyd is able to rally those people, I can tell you something I've never told anyone before: I think Boyd fancies himself the leader of the disenfranchised. For Boyd and his perverted morality, he's the guy who really believes, 'In my world, all boats rise. When I'm in charge, that money will filter down, and everyone will have a better life.' "
"That's a real crystal-clear motivation for this guy to have license to do what he feels he needs to do," Goggins continued. "This is a guy who is so proud of where he comes from, and unlike ['Justified' season two villain] Mags, he's not a person who would sell them down the river. Not his MO. I think that's special. We haven't seen that in a story in a while on television."
