What better way to celebrate Wendy O. Williams' 61st birthday on May 28 (if she hadn't blown her head off at age 48) than with a cute, scantily clad bobblehead doll.
Yes, Aggronautix, the company that, in 2009, presented a bobblehead of GG Allin -- the lovable now-deceased counter culture character who beat up audience members, pooped onstage and threw his feces at the crowd -- is about to launch their limited edition line (2,000 in total) of W.O.W. dolls and to promote the item, anyone who pre-orders the "Throbblehead" through the end of May has the chance to win a prize pack that includes a Plasmatics Coup d'Etat: Revolutionary Rock 'N' Roll T-Shirt, The Plasmatics Wendy O Williams 'Beyond The Valley Of 1984' on vinyl and "Wendy O. Williams The Plasmatics The DVD: 10 Years Of Revolutionary Rock & Roll."
The Wendy O. Williams bobblehead is modeled after the punk icon circa 1982 -- replete with blonde mohawk, spiked arm bands and tattered threads -- stands at seven inches tall and is made of a lightweight polyresin and costs $16.95. The doll comes encased in a tri-window box and if she could talk, she'd surely shout, "Let me out of here you f---ing sh-- eating scumbag!"

If AC/DC aren't cranking out albums fast enough for you and Rhino Bucket don't get your engine revin,' then check out the new Airbourne album 'No Guts, No Glory.' The second disc by these Aussie/DC obsessives is a feast of sleazy, slammin' rhythms, jagged flesh-cleaving guitars and howled melodic vocals that sound like Angus-and-company on a good day -- which is pretty much any day they pick up their instruments.
Okay, Airbourne don't have a hell of a lot of originality to offer. In addition to AC/DC, maybe there's a little bit of Rose Tattoo and a splash of Black Sabbath, but with 'No Guts, No Glory' they're back in black and ready to kill like that runaway 18-wheeler in the movie 'Maximum Overdrive,' which, of course, was chock full of AC/DC tuneage.
This fall, Airbourne will be playing the second stage of the Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival. The tour also features Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Stone Sour, Hellyeah, Halestorm and more. The morning after a long night at the bar, we caught up with guitarist and vocalist Joel O'Keefe to ask him about the creation of 'No Guts, No Glory,' his love of AC/DC and why his band accepts no way but the hard way.

"Eclipse" opens Wednesday (June 30), and the stars of the "Twilight" series are preparing for some time away from Stephenie Meyer's sparkly vampire universe. With the two-part "Breaking Dawn" not shooting until the end of this year, the actors are free to pursue other projects. Ashley Greene is taking advantage of the break; she and "Hung" star Thomas Jane are both in talks to join Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore in "LOL."
The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Ashley Hinshaw and George Finn have joined the cast as well. "LOL" is a remake of the 2008 French movie "LOL (Laughing Out Loud)," directed by Lisa Azuelos. The story follows Cyrus as a teenager who was recently dumped by her boyfriend (Finn) and must deal with her divorced mother (Moore) and a range of other issues in her life. If cast, Greene will play a "high school bad girl" while Jane will play Cyrus' character's father.
Greene has a very busy schedule these days. In the midst of doing press for "Eclipse," she recently wrapped her work on the ensemble indie comedy "Butter," a story about a butter sculpting competition in the Midwest. She'll also star with "Harry Potter" actor Tom Felton next fall in the Todd Lincoln-directed horror thriller "The Apparition." Jane doesn't have any other announced upcoming features at the moment, but the second season of "Hung" kicked off this past Sunday.
Azuelos wrote and is set to direct the American-language remake of her 2008 film. The French original was her second solo effort as a director. Azuelos wrote and directed the French romantic comedy "Hey Good Looking!" in 2006; she also collaborated as co-writer and co-director with Patrick Alessandrin on the 1995 feature "Ainsi soient-elles."

If you're not already in line to see the latest 'Twilight Saga' installment, check out these fun facts!

It's been 222 days since the November 20 release of "New Moon." Over 5,300 hours. Some 319,000 minutes. Not that you've been counting or anything. Now here comes "Eclipse" on Wednesday (June 30) to sate your vampire thirst. What's happened in the time since the "Twilight" franchise has been absent from the multiplex?
That's a question we're here to answer with a jam-packed edition of MTV News' cheat sheet. We've pulled together almost everything — every interview, video clip, photo and news update — that we have to offer on this third installment in the series. Read on, and trust us when we say that, afterward, you'll know everything there is to know about what it took to bring "Eclipse" to the big screen.
The Solar System Aligns
The movie history of "Eclipse" goes back to November 2008 — before "Twilight" even opened — when Summit Entertainment optioned the movie rights to "New Moon," "Eclipse" and "Breaking Dawn." Studio execs probably felt pretty smart when, one week later, "Twilight" opened to $69.6 million in box-office receipts. The phenomenon was under way, and soon, "Eclipse" had a release date. What it didn't yet have was a director. Rumored names included Drew Barrymore and Juan Antonio Bayona, but the job ultimately went to "30 Days of Night" helmer David Slade.
By spring 2009, casting for new roles was under way and the shoot schedule had been revealed, with photography slated to run from August 17 through October 31. By August, of course, the newcomers had signed on: Xavier Samuel as the vampire Riley; Jodelle Ferland as the vampire Bree; Jack Huston as a Depression-era playboy named Royce King; Catalina Sandino Moreno as the vampire Maria; Julia Jones as Leah Clearwater; Tinsel Korey as Emily; and BooBoo Stewart as Seth Clearwater. But the biggest casting move came in July, when Bryce Dallas Howard controversially replaced Rachelle Lefevre in the role of Victoria.
The Stars Give Us Sneak Peeks
As the start of production neared, we began to hear the cast dish dirt on the upcoming film. Taylor Lautner revealed his excitement about working with Slade. Jackson Rathbone and Kellan Lutz spoke about their intense preparation for some fight sequences. And Kristen Stewart got excited about the movie's proposal scene, one of her favorite "Eclipse" scenes
"Well, to decide you're gonna marry someone at 18 is a pretty hefty decision," she told MTV News. "And I didn't want to look stupid. I didn't want it to look like kids getting married. You know what I mean?"
Gazing at "Eclipse"
Filming had barely begun when we got our first look at the cast in action: Howard and Samuel locking lips. Slade also posted pictures on his Twitter account, including a stunning one of Lautner flipping through the air. The first official still arrived in October: Robert Pattinson and Stewart together in a field of wildflowers.
Then in March, the first trailer hit the Web, giving us Pattinson and Stewart together in bed, Lautner without his shirt on and even some acrobatic vampire action. "It's badass," Lutz told MTV News about the footage. "The action really drew me in, and I think the guys are really going to like this movie."
A second trailer arrived the next month, courtesy of Oprah Winfrey's show. If the first trailer was all about Edward, Bella and Jacob's love triangle, then this one focused squarely on violent action. And in June, Stewart, Pattinson and Lautner took the stage at the MTV Movie Awards to present an exclusive clip from the film. More clips followed: Rosalie's advice to Bella; Edward's warning to Jacob; and the Volturi's observation of the newborn vampire army.
The Stars Welcome Us Back
By the summer, the "Eclipse" stars were in full PR mode. We chatted with Elizabeth Reaser, Rathbone, Alex Meraz, Peter Facinelli and many more. We also sat down for extensive conversations with Pattinson, Stewart and Lautner.
"It's my favorite, because it's the most guy-friendly by far," Lautner said of "Eclipse." "It's dangerous. There's a lot of action. The romance is still there, but the action level is stepped up way more. It's great."
Last Wednesday marked the film's glittering red-carpet premiere in Los Angeles, which MTV News streamed live. Stewart chatted about her "passion" for the franchise, and Pattinson likened the end of the series to "divorcing someone."
But just one premiere ain't enough for the "Eclipse" kids. On Monday night, Stewart and Lautner stopped by a secret screening in New York, and, of course, MTV News was on hand to chat with the stars once again. After months of shooting and publicity rounds, with the film's release just hours away, the talk turned to lighter topics. Stewart revealed that she's actually an accomplished chef, while Lautner said you will never see him join up for a role in a big-screen musical.
"No," he laughed. "I mean, people actually tell me that I can [sing], but I think they're just being nice — because I definitely can't! No 'Hairspray 2'!"

Lloyd Explains Quote That He 'Told' Chris Brown To Cry At BET Awards
Lloyd Explains Quote That He 'Told' Chris Brown To Cry At BET Awards
'Him crying at the BET Awards was real, I could feel it,' Lloyd asserts on his blog.

Jermaine Jackson has praised Chris Brown for leaving it all on the stage at Sunday night's BET Awards during his tribute to JJ's late brother, Michael. Fans and critics have speculated about whether the tearful breakdown during "Man in the Mirror" was a genuine show of emotion or a calculated attempt to win back fans who've abandoned him since his assault on Rihanna last year.
But Brown himself has not spoken publicly about what caused him to choke up onstage, so it's unknown why he was unable to complete the song after his thrilling dance tribute to the late King of Pop. One hint, though, emerged on Monday, when R&B singer Lloyd seemed to say that he had advised Brown to shed tears during the performance.
"He's back with a vengeance," Lloyd told Rap-Up.com after the show, where he was nominated in the Viewer's Choice category for his hook on Young Money's "Bed Rock." "I think that they're gonna find a place in their heart for him again. ... I told him, man, you gotta get up there. You gotta cry, you gotta really show your heart to the world."
After some backlash, Lloyd took to his blog on Tuesday to clarify his remarks. "I consider Chris a friend. He's been through a lot in the past couple years," Lloyd wrote. "I never told him to go onstage and cry. We spoke recently, and I told him as a friend that people hadn't really seen him be vulnerable about his situation last year [with Rihanna]. I thought he was holding back and needed to let that emotion out. Him crying at the BET Awards was real, I could feel it."
He also speculated about the possible source of those tears, saying Brown may have cried "about the fact that he thought people would hate him forever because of one mistake. Feeling that love on stage was probably overwhelming. Plus MJ being gone and him performing 'Man in the Mirror,' that song is powerful, especially for his situation. It pushed him over the edge."
Lloyd also lashed out at the "many blogs and fans" who saw his original statement as a negative comment on Brown. "To say that he was faking or that I'm hating on him, that's some bullsh--," he said. "Last week Essence.com asked me what artist most embodied MJ. I told them it was Chris. I never saw MJ perform live, but [Chris Brown] is the closest thing I've witnessed. Chris is back, and I'm just as excited as his fans are."
Do you think people misinterpreted Lloyd's original statement? Continue the debate in the comments.

It's as if the gods that usually shine down on metal are suddenly striking down some of the pioneers of the genre. In December 2009, Avenged Sevenfold drummer Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan died at age 28, seemingly of natural causes. Then on April 14, Type O Negative founder Peter Steele died from heart failure at age 48. A month and two days later, metal legend Ronnie James Dio succumbed to a nearly six-month battle with stomach cancer. He was 67. And yesterday, Slipknot bassist and one of the band's main songwriters, Paul Gray, died in a hotel in Uniondale, Iowa after a two-day stay.
An autopsy and toxicology tests will be conducted today to determine the cause of death, as happens with anyone who dies. Maybe we'll find out Gray died of natural causes, maybe he was another casualty of the rock n' roll lifestyle. It doesn't matter either way. The friendly, low-key guy who helped pen some of Slipknot's best songs will write and play no more. MTVnews has all the details about Gray's death and some tribute quotes.
They say death comes in threes, but -- if you include Sullivan -- this makes four. Maybe he doesn't factor into the count since he died in 2009. Perhaps the death clock turns over at the start of a new year. I don't know. I never got the rule book. Regardless, our condolences go out to Gray's family, friends and band mates, along with our hopes that the angel of death will start taking mercy on the metal community and start going after some other genre of music again, like gun-toting rappers.
Paul Gray R.I.P. And if there's a rock n' roll heaven, pick up your bass and start rockin' out with Dio, and Sullivan. Maybe Steele can switch to guitar?

'Eclipse' Star Nikki Reed Punches Jimmy Kimmel

'I feel like I'm going to get sued,' Reed complains as late-night tries to get her to show off her boxing skills.

When Nikki Reed stopped by "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Tuesday night, the conversation quickly turned to the "Eclipse" star's athletic prowess. In the third film in the "Twilight Saga" Reed and the rest of the Cullen clan spring into action to battle an army of evil vampires, so Kimmel wondered if she's an athlete in real life.
"I think so. I quit smoking, like, a year ago — actually July 5 is my one year [anniversary]," she told Kimmel. "It's really exciting. Actually, I'm probably the most excited about that, so I became more athletic after."
So, what sorts of sports does Reed partake in? "A lot of water sports. I surf. I water ski. I box. Apparently, now I snow ski," she said. "Nothing on a snowboard, though. For some reason, it doesn't make sense."
Kimmel perked up at the thought of Reed boxing and told her to try punching him in the stomach. "Don't encourage violence," Reed responded, flustered. "I don't know how I feel. Wait! We're really going to do this right now. But that's not really a fair request. This doesn't make sense. Let's just hug it out and comment on how good we smell."
That wasn't good enough for Kimmel, who really wanted her to punch him, and not even her few playful jabs would do. "I feel like I'm going to get sued," Reed protested. "I'll give you a medium punch. I don't want to play this game.
"This reminds me of being a little kid with my brother," she said before giving him a bit of a harder punch. "Am I in trouble? I didn't give you a full on."

'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows' Trailer: Six Key Moments
'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows' Trailer: Six Key Moments
We break down the best parts of the new sneak peek.

The first full-length "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" trailer comes at the perfect time to remind everyone why they loved the story about the boy with a lightning-bolt scar to begin with — and to ask everyone else who didn't what they were possibly thinking.
While previous trailers for "Harry Potter" movies — even the especially dark "Half-Blood Prince" — mixed humor with the action and magic, this sneak peek shows that the "Deathly Hallows" films, like the book, will take themselves very seriously.
There's a lot packed into the two-minute teaser, as well as some hints as to when the split between the two films will lie, so we're going to break down some of the best parts.
The Attack at the Ministry
There are only two quick shots of the Ministry battle, but they promise greatness from that scene. At 1:24, there is a shot of Ron (Rupert Grint) running away terrified, and then at 1:46, there is another shot of the Ministry employee who is pursuing him.
Godric's Hollow
Another section of "Part 1" that made it to the trailer is Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Hermione's (Emma Watson) journey to the home of Harry's parents, Godric's Hollow. Their entrance can be seen at the one-minute mark, and even though it looks like only Hermione is walking, that is because Harry is under the invisibility cloak. There is a lot more to the location than meets the eye, though, and you can see Harry being attacked by Voldemort's snake Nagini inside Bathilda Bagshot's home at 1:47.
Ron Destroying the Slytherin Necklace Horcrux
In the scene that has long been assumed will close out "Part 1," Ron reunites with Harry in the woods and helps him destroy one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. At 1:17, Ron can be seen looking terrified of the images the Horcrux is showing them (some pretty scandalous scenes between Harry and Hermione), and then at 1:48, Harry can be seen encouraging Ron to "kill it!"
The Gringott's Break-In
Switching to moments that will (presumably) occur in "Part 2," it might seem a bit confusing to see Harry riding alongside his enemy Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) with a goblin named Griphook (Warwick Davis) at :54, but that's actually because Hermione is impersonating Bellatrix, a scene Carter said she enjoyed playing. The shot of a half-blind dragon at 1:16 also comes from the Gringott's scene, and the dragon flying away from the wizarding bank at 1:39 is the trio's escape route to safety.
Harry's First Confrontation With Voldemort
It was an interesting move to open up the trailer with one of the final scenes in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," but the shots of Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) standing with his Death Eaters in the woods and Harry approaching them actually come toward the end of the story. "Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, come to die!" Voldemort announces dramatically in the trailer, before seemingly casting the killing curse — Avada Kedavra — on Harry.
The Final Battle
A good portion of the action scenes that are shown in the trailer are taken from the final battle sequence that will take place at the end of "Part 2." USA Today reported that the battle was expanded for the film, which means those shots of people running at each other in the woods are probably from the creative mind of director David Yates. But the wand confrontation between Harry and Voldemort at 1:59 is right out of the book, and Voldemort's final line of the trailer — "Only I can live forever" — is a daunting way of teasing the final installments of the "Harry Potter" franchise.
