Justin Bieber's Grammy Performance Will Be 'A Crossover,' Usher Says

HOLLYWOOD — At Sunday's 53rd Grammy Awards, Usher will be pulling double duty as both a nominee and a performer. Of course, given the massive year he just completed — with the success of his smash single "O.M.G." and as a mentor to rising phenom Justin Bieber — Ush's Grammy plans seem rather fitting.

Especially since he'll be performing with Bieber (and Bieber's pal Jaden Smith), a move that's just as much about celebrating Usher's successes as it is the successes of his young protégé.

"Having been through [the Grammys] so many times, you couldn't want for anything more than for your young protégé to have the opportunity to have one, so, in support of him having his moment, I wanted to be here," Usher told MTV News on Thursday, hours before his performance at the (Belvedere) RED launch party in Hollywood. "And also to be there to perform, to kind of tell the story of how we came together. This music business has definitely been good to both of us, and this year we have a lot to be happy for."

And just how will the dynamic duo tell that story? Well, Usher wasn't about to reveal all the details, but he did say that he's hoping their performance will show another side of Bieber ... a side most tend to overlook.

"The performance will be fun," Usher explained. "We want to get up there and just do what we do. Be comfortable, and have a great time. ... This is kind of a crossover for Justin. Having performed on so many different stages, this is the way that I wanted him to be seen and an opportunity to show the industry — a lot of the industry, that didn't believe [in him] — some of his other talents. He's going to play acoustically, and also, we'll get down a little bit."

And though Ush is up for a pair of Grammy awards on Sunday — Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best Contemporary R&B Album for Raymond v. Raymond — he's most looking forward to sharing the stage with Bieber and giving fans a look at where the young artist will be heading next.

"I'm very proud, man. I definitely saw it from the beginning, but thanks to the team that we have around us, it was made to happen. And that story has only just begun," Usher said. "The story of Justin Bieber doesn't stop with screaming girls; we need screaming fans all around the world ... a cultural experience that's much more than just fanfare. And that's what this is. That's what the Grammys will be; that's what my next phase for Justin is. This is the way I found him: I found him with a guitar in his hand, so I want him to be seen that way."

Don't miss "Snooki & Sway: Live From the Grammys," a red-carpet live stream kicking off Sunday at 6 p.m. ET on MTV.com. And stick with us all Grammy night for coverage of the red carpet, the show, the afterparties and beyond!

Jennifer Love Hewitt Dating Ben Flajnik?

Jennifer Love Hewitt is a self-confessed serial dater -- so maybe becoming a real-life Bachelorette is the next logical step! Hewitt, 32, has reportedly been dating Ben Flajnik -- the eligible winemaker whom Ashley Hebert turned down for J.P. Rosenbaum on the finale of The Bachelorette.

Flajnik, 28, was spotted having drinks with the actress last week in San Francisco. According to Us Weekly, the reality runner-up entered the bar with Giants baseball player Cody Ross, but ditched him when he spotted Hewitt from around the room.

"It seemed like a first date," says the magazine's eyewitness.

The source adds that Hewitt was "loving the attention" -- and as the bar began to close, "she grabbed his hand and marched outside."

According to Life & Style, the meeting wasn't a chance occurrence; the publication claims that the Ghost Whisperer star tracked Flajnik down via Twitter after seeing him on TV! Maybe they got that idea from the tweet Hewitt posted after the August 1 Bachelorette finale.

"Omg! Ben f accept my final rose !!!" wrote the actress after watching Hebert reject Ben's proposal. "I love that ring. Neil lane u rock!! Happy for Ashley.... Gotta book a flight to Sonoma !!!:):)"

Whatever happened with Hewitt, it sounds like it's not serious; Flajnik has denied that he's back in the dating game.

"Dear Rumor Mill, I am not dating anyone," he tweeted on Wednesday. "Far too busy with work right now @evolvewines to even think about it. Go Giants. Out."

Hewitt, too, has a full work schedule ahead of her. On Wednesday, it was announced that she'll be developing her Golden Globe-nominated Lifetime Original Movie The Client List, about a Texas housewife who becomes a prostitute, into a new series. And according to Us Weekly, Flajnik might be joining her for the 2012 TV season: ABC producers reportedly consider him the favorite to become the next Bachelor.

Ryan Gosling Tries His Hand at Fatherhood For The Place Beyond the Pines

A heavily tattooed Ryan Gosling carried his baby costar around the set of The Place Beyond the Pines in upstate New York yesterday. Ryan cozied up to Eva Mendes recently during a night shoot, but for this latest sequence, he shared a loving moment with a smaller companion. This project reunites Ryan with his close friend, Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance, and it pits the actor against the equally handsome Bradley Cooper. Ryan's look in the film is a departure from the dashing, sexy smile he flashes, twice, on the September cover of Esquire. He spoke about the many sides of his personality inside the magazine and gushed about his ongoing love with candy.

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.

'Dark Knight Rises' Recruits Pittsburgh Steelers For Cameo

NFL team was snapped shooting scenes as fictional Gotham Rogues.

The NFL lockout might be over, but life for the Pittsburgh Steelers was certainly not back to usual on Saturday, when Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight Rises" swooped into Heinz Field and recast the team as the Gotham Rogues.

Clad in familiar black-and-gold uniforms, the Steelers-turned-Rogues included Ben Roethlisberger, Hines Ward, Willie Colon, Troy Polamalu and Heath Miller, according to multiple local reports. Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher returned to the sideline to play the Rogues' coach. Cowher and crew were joined by more than 10,000 extras, bussed in to film a fictional game between the Rogues and the Rapid City Monuments.

The shoot itself dives into some spoilery territory, so if you'd like to remain blissfully unaware of the goings-on in Gotham during "Dark Knight Rises," in which Batman faces off against Bane, turn back now!

Reports from the scene indicate that the football game is violently interrupted, with explosions, the presence of three tumblers and the arrival of Bane. After the players are reportedly killed and the assembled crowd is freaked the hell out, the villain comes out onto the mangled field, grabs a microphone and makes an announcement about how Gotham has been liberated.

What's perhaps most interesting about Bane in all this is how sickly he sounds. According to DC Comics lore, Bane became a test subject for something called Venom, a substance to which he becomes so addicted he needs it to survive. Couple that sickly voice with the production picture of a thick scar on Bane's neck, and we're starting to get an idea of a bad guy who is deeply unwell, not only in mind but in body.

The shoot stretched into the evening, starting off with straight football scenes and concluding with Bane's destructive entrance and announcement. It's just the latest on-location shoot for the city of Pittsburgh this summer, but residents appear to be embracing the whole thing.

"Forget Hollywood. You guys were great," an assistant director told the crowd at one point, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "I'll come to Pittsburgh any time for extras."
