Tip confirms second remix in the works for track, which previously featured a remix verse from Andre 3000.
By Jocelyn Vena
Ke$ha's already gotten "Sleazy" with Andre 3000. Now, a few more rappers want to get dirty with the glittery pop singer.
XXLmag.com reports that T.I. plans to jump on the track, and Lil Wayne and Wiz Khalifa will also be joining Andre and Tip on a new version of "Sleazy."
Weezy should be a welcome addition to Ke$ha's dance tune, as it sounds somewhat like Wayne's single "A Milli." And while not much else is known about the remix, T.I. promised that he's going to go big with his verse.
"I haven't heard anybody but mine. ... I'm gonna put my money on mine," the newly freed rapper, who ended an 11-month prison sentence in September, told the website.
The Andre 3000 remix dropped earlier this year and appears on K-Dollar Sign's album Cannibal. The guys will have a lot of swagger to compete with because when Andre appeared on the first remix, he had this to say: "We start out so cute in our baby pictures/ That mama shot for our daddy so that he wouldn't forget you/ He forgot anyway, but hey, one day he'll remember/ If not, he's human, I'm human, you human, we'll forgive him/ I call her Keisha, she like it because it's 'hood to her/ She call me Andre 6000 because I'm good to her."
Tip told XXLmag.com that his appearance on the Ke$ha song is just one of many remixes he's amped about. He has also worked on remixes for Meek Mill and Rick Ross's "Ima Boss," as well as Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch the Throne song "N---as in Paris."
"I'm looking for some more records to jump on," he said. "That's what I'm doin' right now. I'm commandeering hit records right now. I'm hijacking hit records. If you got a hit, I'm on it."
Are you looking forward to the new "Sleazy" remix? Tell us in the comments!

Robert Pattinson was on his own as he left his London apartment toting a big black bag this morning. Robert has been hanging out in England since wrapping up his Breaking Dawn Part 1 press tour and all his hard work is paying off big time at the box office. Breaking Dawn crushed the competition in its opening weekend and it maintained the top spot over Thanksgiving. Robert may have been solo today, but he has good company at his place since Kristen Stewart is staying there while she films Snow White and the Huntsman outside the city. Robert and Kristen went on a couple dates this week, checking out their friend Marcus Foster's show and hanging out with friends including Tom Sturridge.

Lady Gaga has never been shy about her feelings for the LGBT community — she's perhaps the biggest and most A-list advocate for LGBT youth. Now her work with the community is earning her some recognition.
At this year's annual Trevor Live event, the singer will be honored by the Trevor Project, a nonprofit organization that offers suicide-prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth. Gaga will receive the Trevor Hero Award, Press Party reports. The organization will also recognize Google Inc. with the Trevor 2020 Award.
"Our young people are at the center of a health crisis, and vocal leaders like Lady Gaga and technology leaders like Google Inc. have stepped up to help change our culture," David McFarland, interim executive director and CEO of the Trevor Project, said in a statement.
"Our honorees are working with the Trevor Project to make a better today and a brighter tomorrow for youth. We are proud to honor Lady Gaga with the Trevor Hero Award and Google Inc. with the Trevor 2020 award for their work to help young people express their true selves with pride."
Gaga and her mother recently started the Born This Way Foundation, which will focus on "youth empowerment and equality by addressing issues like self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development and will utilize digital mobilization as one of the means to create positive change."
The Trevor party is set to go down on December 4 at the Hollywood Palladium. Gaga won't be the only A-lister on hand at the big show.
Fergie, Mary J. Blige, Miley Cyrus, Gleeks Chris Colfer and Darren Criss, Julianne Hough and "True Blood" star Joe Manganiello are just a few of the stars slated to appear. Criss made headlines last year when he was joined onstage by Katy Perry at the event. The two performed her track "Teenage Dream," which he had famously covered on "Glee."

Four pop divas released concert specials on Monday — just in time for Black Friday!

Taylor Swift

Music fans planning to burn off those post-Thanksgiving calories with some holiday shopping are in luck: Some of pop's biggest divas dropped live DVDs on Monday (November 21): Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Britney Spears all have concert specials out, just in time for your Black Friday wish list. Here, MTV News breaks down the four releases (and one more to watch out for).
Taylor Swift
Just as Taylor wraps up her Speak Now Tour this week, the American Music Award winner is releasing "Speak Now World Tour - Live." The 18-song DVD features Swift performing some of her biggest tracks during that arena-filling trek. And if that's not enough Taylor, there's also a 16-song CD that fans can snatch up.
Beyoncé
Filmed over four shows in New York, weeks before B announced her pregnancy at the VMAs, the "Live at Roseland" DVD special shows the Queen B recounting some of the greatest moments of her career before launching into a nonstop live performance of her 4 album. It also includes behind-the-scenes footage that gives fans their first look at the wedding dress Beyoncé wore the day she married Jay-Z.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is giving her little monsters a front row seat to her epic Monster Ball Tour. Filmed during stops at Madison Square Garden earlier this year, the concert originally aired on HBO and earned the pop star an Emmy. The DVD also includes previously unseen material that didn't make the final cut on HBO. In addition, Gaga is releasing a new album, Born This Way - The Remix, today.
Britney Spears
After debuting her Femme Fatale live concert special on Epix earlier this month, Spears is releasing the spectacle on DVD this week for those who may have missed it. Full of costume changes, swirling dance numbers and a sexy lap dance, this special is perfect for the Brit enthusiast.
One to Pre-Order: Adele
A fifth diva will get into the game on Cyber Monday. On November 28, Adele drops her own concert special, "Live at the Royal Albert Hall." And given that it might be a while before the singer hits the road again (she's on the mend from throat surgery), the DVD will at least give fans a taste of Adele's live stage show.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart had a night out in London yesterday! The couple, who are sharing an apartment while in the same city, caught a show from their pal Marcus Foster at the Dingwalls club. Kristen and Robert then stopped for a nightcap at the Highlight Bar, where they were seen hugging! Robert and Kristen headed back to their place together afterward. Kristen starred in a Marcus Foster video earlier this for his song "I Was Broken." According to other fans who tweeted from Dingwalls, Rob's BFF Tom Sturridge joined the fun too.
Kristen was able to fit the fun outing into her busy schedule between days spent on the set of Snow White and the Huntsman. Kristen worked on SWATH a few days ago, filming a particularly intense-looking scene. It appears Kristen's work is keeping her away from the US on Thanksgiving, but she's nonetheless surrounded by loved ones like Rob.

By Jocelyn Vena
Britney Spears may be the leading lady on the Femme Fatale Tour, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to bring some guys along for the ride.
Next up, Backstreet Boy Howie D is slated to hit the road with Spears, following in the footsteps of DJ Pauly D and Joe Jonas. The South American tour dates — which kick off November 20, days after Howie releases his solo album Back to Me — were an enticing offer to the pop singer.
"I embraced it with open arms," he told MTV News of the trek, which ends November 28. "She's such a great, talented person. We've known each other for many, many years."
He isn't lying: Howie and Britney grew up together in the industry, with the Backstreet Boys and Spears two of the figureheads of the late-'90s pop revival. Howie said they're rooted in the same place, which will lend itself nicely to touring together.
"We kind of came out of the same camp, out of the Orlando pop scene with us and 'NSYNC and Britney," he recalled. "I feel like we've all grown together and have very similar, parallel lives with us and our music, [with] certain moments being very, very hot, certain moments not, and just riding the wave up and down as it's going. Even [with our] personal lives, having families, having kids. I have a huge respect for her, not only as an artist, but as a person. It's good to be around people you've known and people you've grown up with."
So what keeps people coming back for more from the likes of Howie and Britney? He has a theory: "It's a test of good music being out there," he said. "We really take pride in making good records, timeless records, and being true to our craft and trying to give our fans what they want ... trying to constantly take each record to the next level, push the envelope."
Do you want Howie to tour with Britney in the States? Let us know in the comments!

Back in August, Beyoncé played four hotly hyped, sold-out shows at New York's Roseland Ballroom, the same venue where Radiohead played a two-night stand last month. If you weren't one of the lucky few who snagged a ticket to Beyoncé's celebration of her 4 album, don't worry. The singer will release a new concert DVD, "Live at Roseland," on November 21.
The DVD, which captures the "4 Intimate Nights with Beyoncé" event, will be sold exclusively at Walmart and includes 26 songs from her cabaret show and concert, which took place shortly before she officially announced her pregnancy at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. The DVD not only includes a montage of B's finest tunes, both with Destiny's Child and as a solo star, but also features the singer candidly revealing the stories behind the greatest moments in her career.
In addition to a retrospective of hits, Beyoncé also brought things up to date during those string of Roseland concerts, playing her 2011 album, 4, in its entirety.
Jay-Z's favorite lady, who just dropped her video for "Party," will also release, on November 29, a deluxe DVD package, "Live at Roseland: The Elements of 4." The pack will include plenty of extras that Beyoncé fans should go crazy over, including a two-disc DVD featuring the concert, bonus footage, previously unreleased videos, a booklet and a video anthology.
November 21 is shaping up to be a big day for pop fans. Lady Gaga releases her very own concert DVD special that day, in addition to the Born This Way the Remix album. Even better, she'll bundle those two new items with her original Born This Way album for the ultimate Gaga gift, called Born This Way: The Collection.

Michael Bublé, Adele round out the top three on the albums chart.

Drake has a lot to be thankful for this week. His sophomore LP, Take Care, officially debuts in the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart Wednesday (November 23). "I can't even find the words to express my appreciation. ... 'Thank you and I owe you' is all that comes to mind ... truly," Drizzy tweeted Tuesday night in reaction to the news.
SoundScan tallies that Drizzy pushed over 631,000 copies of the album, which was released on November 15. It was forecasted that the Young Money soldier would sell as many as 700,000 copies, but he fell just south of that, not that he or anyone at his label is sweating over sales. YM CEO Lil Wayne told MTV News that he was more concerned with how Take Care is received critically.
"Pardon me for sounding however I sound with this statement, but we rich as sh--, so numbers and record sales, that doesn't matter to none of us," Wayne said. "We just want to get a perfect point across, a swell opinion across."
Michael Bublé's Christmas lands at #2, leading the pack of other holiday albums including Justin Bieber's Under the Mistletoe (#5) and Glee: The Music, the Christmas Album, Vol. 2 (#6). Adele's 21 continues its reign, moving another 112,000 units this week, easily putting the U.K. singer in the #3 position. Andrea Bocelli's Concerto: One Night in Central Park debuts in the #4 slot, while Now 40, Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto, the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" soundtrack and Susan Boyle's Someone to Watch Over Me round out the top 10.
Childish Gambino also scores a huge win in his first week, selling 52,000 copies of Camp, but last week's top album, Blue Slide Park by Mac Miller, slides down to #24, selling another 25,000 copies independently.

Director Bill Condon calls final 'Twilight' film 'epic,' while screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg promises it will be 'kick butt.'

"Breaking Dawn - Part 1" has officially arrived in theaters, and you know what that means: Let the talk about "Part 2" begin!
MTV News' Josh Horowitz sat down with director Bill Condon and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg to discuss what Twi-hards can expect from the conclusion of "The Twilight Saga."
Condon hinted that there will be a significant jump in tone between "Part 1" and "Part 2," a film he described as "epic." "['Breaking Dawn - Part 1'] is a very, very emotional, romantic story in the first half that gets dark and has elements of a horror movie in it," he said, possibly referring to the infamous birth scene.
In "Part 2," Condon said the action will focus on the larger world of vampires, which comes into the conflict with the birth of Bella and Edward's daughter, Renesmee. "The second one: It is truly the meeting of the vampires from around the world, so it has a really kind of global feeling," he said.
Rosenberg promised one thing: action. "The journey of the second film is survival, and it is kick butt. There's going to be some action going on there," she said.
Both Condon and Rosenberg were hesitant to comment on how the second film will end. Condon said he knows how it ends, but wouldn't offer much else, saying only, "It's an ending."
Rosenberg, on the other hand, was more giving, and said the answer lies in what Stephenie Meyer originally wrote. "It's in the book, and it felt right," she said.
Check out everything we've got on "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1."

On Sunday night, some of the biggest names in the music industry hit up the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas and decided that sparkles and sequins make for the perfect additions to any red carpet get-up. Well, it is Sin City after all.
Taylor Swift always seems to bring some of that Nashville sparkle to any red carpet. She arrived at the show in a pale-hued, sequined Elie Saab gown. Nicki Minaj showed off her signature sense of style in her baby-blue, body-hugging spandex Mark Fast catsuit.
Selena Gomez turned up the style dial in a sexy, cut-out black Dolce & Gabbana gown that she paired with red strappy sandals with sparkly bow detailing. Like Gomez, Ke$ha opted for some cut-out detailing in her sparkly, slate-gray dress with tulle skirt. Rihanna looked white hot in her men's tailored Max Azria suit, which she kept sexy and feminine by not buttoning her shirt all the way.
Fergie went S&M chic in her little black bandage-type dress by Hervé Léger. Nicole Kidman also wore black. She paired a casual braid hairstyle with a long black gown and Keith Urban. British pop cutie Kyle Minogue looked funky in her little black lacey dress. Inside the show, Britney Spears sat in the audience wearing a skimpy black dress of her own, her hair in loose curls, with little-to-no accessories.
While some stars kept the color scheme low-key, Keri Hilson decided to stand out in her billowy little yellow dress paired with a turquoise-colored belt. Kelly Rowland showed off some of her best assets in a body-hugging, bright pink bandage dress.
The fellas also looked tight on the carpet. Joe Jonas wore all black with white sneakers, Ne-Yo paired his periwinkle suit with a Yankees cap and Justin Bieber wore black tuxedo pants with a gold-lamé tuxedo jacket.
Which stars' styles caught your eye at the Billboard Music Awards? Tell us in the comments.

Auction items from rented home include bed on which Jackson died.
By Gil Kaufman

Michael Jackson's fans are notorious for their rabid worship of the late pop star. But will they pony up big bucks to own the bed on which their icon died? We will find out on December 17, when Julien's Auctions Gallery will auction off the contents of the rented Holmby Hills, California, home that Jackson was renting at the time of his death.
Though the announcement of the sale does not mention Jackson by name, it lists a variety of fine art and furnishings from the residence, including a gilded Louis XV headboard (est. $3,000/$4,000) and a $30,000 watercolor painting by Maurice Utrillo. An Associated Press story revealed that the sale of contents of 100 North Carolwood Drive will comprise items left behind by Jackson.
The singer passed away in the home on June 25, 2009, and on Monday his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, was found guilty of one felony count of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death. Among the pieces of evidence brought up by prosecution witnesses attesting to Murray's medical incompetence was the fact that he gave Jackson CPR on a bed instead of a hard surface. The hundreds of items up for sale in the auction include the queen-size bed where Jackson slept.
In an ironic twist, just as Murray was getting news of the guilty verdict, reporters were being taken through the three-story home on a private tour in order to publicize the auction.
"We want to preserve the history of these items," said auctioneer Darren Julien of the contents, which include paintings and sculptures Jackson surrounded himself with in the rented home as he tuned up for his planned "This is It" comeback tour. The house, where Jackson lived with his three children from December 2008 until his death, is also separately up for sale.
One of the most-personal items on the block ($400) is a chalkboard that hung in the home's kitchen that features a note from the kids that reads, "I (heart) Daddy. SMILE, it's for free." A mirror on an antique armoire in Jackson's private bedroom featured a message the star wrote to himself that read, "TRAIN, perfection, March April. FULL OUT May," a reference to the grueling rehearsal schedule the 50-year-old was keeping up as he prepared for the string of concerts that were to begin in London in July 2009.
Reporters also saw a "medication room," the bedroom shown in evidence photos at Murray's trial, where fans can pick up upholstered chairs smudged with Jackson's makeup. An attorney for Jackson matriarch Katherine Jackson said that the family is aware of the auction and has made certain that the event does not use Michael's name or likeness to help sell the items; Jackson's name is not mentioned in the promotional materials for the auction.
