MTV is taking it straight to the dance floor in its new flick “Turn The Beat Around” set to premiere Friday, February 26 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. “This film is another great example of our continued commitment to diversifying our programming and creating new content,” said Chris Linn, Executive Vice President of Production for MTV.  “By focusing on genres that resonate with our viewers, collaborating with emerging musical artists and breaking new talent, we are able to produce unique content made specifically for the MTV viewer.” The movie features dance pieces that fuse the hottest hip-hop moves with classic disco as well as a special performance from “Whatcha Say” hitmaker Jason Derulo in his first on-screen role.

Set in the competitive L.A. dance scene, the film tells the story of Zoe (Romina D’Ugo), a struggling young dancer who gets the opportunity to fulfill her dreams when she convinces Michael (David Giuntoli), a wealthy nightclub owner, to open a new club with a disco theme.  However, as Zoe gets closer to realizing her professional ambitions, her personal and professional lives collide and she finds herself caught between the club’s young owner, her dancer boyfriend (Adam Taylor Brooks) and the sexy, overly ambitious choreographer (Brooklyn Sudano) she might be about to replace.  Zoe must fight to overcome all the obstacles before her, in order to become the dancer she’s always wanted to be.

Check out Jason getting his acting on!

While you’re anxiously waiting for the dance-packed flick to drop, check out the trailer…

“Turn The Beat Around” makes its way on DVD March 9th!

YOUNG JEEZY- “HARD”

Check out Rihanna’s video for her new single “Hard” featuring Young Jeezy off her new album Rated R. Yeah, yeah, yeah…Rihanna definitely went hard in this video! Not to mention, the Bajan beauty probably made the fellas “hard” as well with her very revealing costumes.

In related news, Rated R snagged the No. 3 spot on MTV’s “Woman of the Year” list. MTV pulled the sympathy card, citing her beatdown drama with ex Chris Brown as the main reason sh landed in at No. 3. In no way am I hating on RiRi, but homegirl beat the hardest bish in the game–Beyonce!

ON DECK or OFF DECK?!

Str8NYC joined Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy and MTV to celebrate the “Staying Alive Foundation” at Broadway East in NYC. It was celebration for all their awesome work the Staying Alive Foundation in their latest initiative on HIV/AIDS prevention this year, as well as the global premiere of MTV’s new documentary & Travis McCoy’s “Unbeaten” track.

As ya gurl arrived at the venue, the lowkey scenery seemed a bit a sketchy and I began to doubt my attendance. However, as I awaited admittance into the party I spotted UK’s finest Estelle hop out the tinted-up SUV with her all boy entourage…that was enough to convince me I was at the right spot. Luckily I rolled my gal pals, Aishah & Danica, otherwise being one of the first ten people getting the party started would’ve bit somewhat difficult. And thanks to the complimentary patron cocktails and the tasty hors d’oeuvres, made this party all the better. After a few sips of our cocktails and a lil’ chit chat, we quickly made our way upstairs were more action and mingling began. Within thirty minutes into the party I made it a point to chop it up with Estelle…for anyone who knows me, knows I’m huge a Estelle fan…if you’ve listened to her album then you’d know why. We laughed, sip on cocktails, she introduced me to her brother and her boy a DJ Trauma from ATL. Shortly after Travis McCoy and the Gym Class Heroes stepped in the room and took their seat at a reserved table. As my girls rushed to the bar for more Patron, I held down the fort and managed to strike up a lil’ convo with Travis…talking about my college town aka his hometown, Geneva, NY- six hours north of NYC.

After about an hour, MTV’s Kim Stolz got the crowd’s attention and began presenting some important people such as Natalia Coles, Co-Founder or “Carolina Empowerment Group, Inc” in South Carolina- an organization focused on ‘empowering people day by day’ and educating the community about HIV/AIDS prevention. Did you know that 1 in 20 people in South Carolina are either HIV/AIDS infected? WOW! Travis also took the stage to talk about his world-wide effort with MTV’s “Stay Alive Foundation” as well as gave the crowd a sneak peek at a new documentary and premiered his new video “Unbeaten”.


The celebration continued shortly after the speeches and videos…the bubbly kept flowing and food kept coming and that’s when the dancing began, at least for a lil’ bit. Hands down this event gets an A+ with flying colors. Check out some of pics and video I snagged…Enjoy!
