In pictures: India's love affair with the mustache
Mo, tash, ?stache, lip caterpillar, slug, even snickering cockroaches (as a pitiful poet once called Stalin?s).
Call it what you will, the mustache comes with a fair dollop of history -- and mirth -- wherever it grows.
From Magnum PI-styled symbol of virility to Borat-esque nose-tickler, the mustache shouts "pride" louder than most hairstyles.
And nowhere is man's dedication to the hirsute upper lip more apparent than in India.
Indian history is inexorably linked to whiskers and though historians can?t be positive about its exact origins, the finely coiffed ?tache can be at least partly attributed to the British, says Chris Stowers, co-author of "Hair India, A Guide to the Bizarre Beards and Magnificent Moustaches of Hindustan."

American Idol Exit Interview: Casey Abrams Says Goodbye
Humble until the end, Casey Abrams recently spoke on his elimination from American Idol.
The bearded crooner told MTV he had a feeling his name would be called on Thursday night. Not because he did poorly, but because he was so impressed by his competitors.
My performance was pretty good," he said. "But seeing Jacob kill it and then seeing Haley kill it, seeing Scotty and Lauren kill it and Durbin obviously... it just made me feel like, 'These guys are incredible. These guys could carry the show. I don't really need to be here, so if I go home tomorrow, I'm prepared.'"
On a personal note, Casey's goodbye to contestant Haley Reinhart - which included a kiss - forced him to clear up all rumors about the two dating. He just refers to her as his "special music friend."
"I was completely on random mode. I didn't plan on ending up on Haley; it just happened that way. Nothing was planned," he said of his hug and kiss-filled farewell on stage.
Does the talented singer (he plays cello, bass, drums and clarinet) have any parting words of advice?
"Don't take yourself too seriously. Take music seriously, but not yourself."

30 Seconds To Mars Reveal New Single To Be 'Night Of The Hunter'
Band broke the news about fan-favorite track during our 30STM 'State of the Union' live stream.

During our "State of the Union" live stream on Thursday night, 30 Seconds to Mars spoke at length about their past (Jared Leto's Kurt Cobain fascination), their present (Friday's headlining slot at the Bamboozle Festival) and, of course, their future.
And when it came time to discuss that last point, they took the opportunity to break a bit of news: They'd chosen "Night of the Hunter" as the next single off This Is War. And yes, they're very happy about it. Because, ever since they released their album in late 2009, they've been battling to get the song heard.
"We never thought this would happen, but we think it's going to be our next single in the States. There's always a song that fans latch onto, that the real music-lovers and the listeners [latch onto]," 30STM frontman Jared Leto told MTV News. "And this is the one, early on ... when we asked, 'What do you think should be a single?' [fans] always mention this, but people didn't quite think that this was the one at the time — some of the people at the record company or at radio stations — but they've warmed up to it, and now it's really fun to have a song that's eclectic and different to be a single."
In short, it's the kind of song a band has to earn the right to release. And 30STM have certainly done that. So now, their favorite track — Leto said it "encapsulates everything about 30 Seconds to Mars that we are interested in, musically" — is set to be released to radio ... with an appropriately epic video, of course.
"I would love to make a video for 'Night of the Hunter,' because I think it's one of the most cinematic songs on the record; when we play it live onstage, it always evokes imagery to me," Leto said. "The song really grew from ... my brother and I were born in Louisiana, we had a single mom ... who, at the time, was a high school dropout living in the South, [so we] really didn't have very much in terms of materialistic things. And although we moved out of the South when we were kids — you know, we joke we kind of climbed out of the muddy banks of the Mississippi River with food stamps in one hand and our instruments in the other — our mother helped carve a new life for us. And I think that song has some spirit of the South in it; some kind of American Gothic feel."
Are you glad to hear there will be a video for "Night of the Hunter"? Tell us in the comments!

Director Mike Nichols: Julia Roberts ?is one of the World?s Great Mothers?
Julia Roberts puts family first ? even on the red carpet! The Oscar-winning actress attended the opening of the Tribeca premiere of Jesus Henry Christ with her sister, Lisa, who also co-produced the film with her. When In Touch asked her what the best thing was about working with family, she flashed us her million-dollar smile and said, ?To be able to be together all the time. Even longer!?
Julia, 43, admitted to reporters that, ?Producing is harder than acting. You have a lot of people to answer to.? But when In Touch asked director Mike Nichols, who worked with Julia on Charlie Wilson?s War, how Julia juggles family and career so seamlessly, he admitted, ?She?s perfect! She?s one of the world?s great mothers and wives and friends and actresses. She has an enormous heart. She?s full of happiness and love and joy. And she?s brilliantly intelligent and she?s a great actress.?
Mike also shared that Julia and her husband, Danny Moder, 42, have created a wonderful home for their children, twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 6, and Henry, 3. ?They?re so sweet, those kids. They love them so much. And they?re together all the time.?
And what?s next for Julia?s brood? ?They?re beginning nursery school in LA!? Mike tells In Touch.

Tom Felton Reveals 'Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes' Character Details
'People aren't going to be cheering for me in this film,' he tells MTV News of his role in the prequel.

On Wednesday morning, Tom Felton walked us through "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" as part of MTV News' Summer Movie Preview. Now, Felton continues the season's blockbuster sneak peeks with his insights into "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," the new franchise film in which he stars, which both reboots the mythology and provides a prequel to the story first introduced in the late 1960s.
The new, Rupert Wyatt-directed film features James Franco as a scientist testing an Alzheimer's cure on our simian friends. But an unexpected mutation leads to a super-smart ape population, which spells trouble for the human race. Felton plays the son of the owner of a facility in which the apes — CGI creations based on motion-capture technology from the digital effects house behind "Avatar" — are kept. Calling us up from his home in the U.K., Felton discussed his favorite scenes in the film, what it's like to work with actors in mo-cap suits playing apes and how his character fits into the overall story.
MTV: There'd been basically radio silence on "Apes," and then photos and video started to roll out a few weeks ago, followed by the trailer, which got a very positive reaction.
Tom Felton: Yeah, through Twitter I could tell the reactions were good. And just my own reaction as a fan, when I see a trailer like that, I get very excited. I watched it a hundred times. The special effects are ridiculous. The first question when I showed it to my friends was, "Wow, how did they get the monkeys so well trained?" I'm like, "None of them were real!" It's quite weird to see so much CG effects in the real world, not some computer-generated world like "Avatar."
MTV: It was also nice to see the tone wasn't jokey but rather dark and serious.
Felton: It was quite dark. I love that. A lot of people, when you say "Apes," they think of Tim Burton's one and [think] that is what this one is going to be like. It couldn't be further from the truth. This movie is set in the world that we know, rather than some alien-like planet. It's not that it's scary, but it is so much more realistic. There's a real sense that it could actually happen
MTV: This is what would happen if you put James Franco in charge of a lab of apes.
Felton: Oh, you know it. You know it! All hell would break loose.
MTV: It must also be nice to see yourself in a movie without Draco Malfoy's bleached-blond hair.
Felton: It's funny you say that, because the first time we went out to Vancouver for the screen tests, they had me there in the outfit and [director] Rupert was like, "I like it, but you need blond hair. I need you to look Californian." I was like, "Seriously? Really?" He was like, "Yes!" And I was like, "OK, if that's what you want." Then he digged me in the ribs and [said] he was just winding me up. So we got off to a good start, me and Rupert. But he was the first one to say we want you looking as different as possible. That was nice, because he wanted me based on what he'd seen previously in "Potter" but also something completely different.
MTV: Is there one scene that you're particularly excited about?
Felton: There were so many. You know, I'm used to "Potter" secrecy, but this is even more so. They've got me under lock and key on this one. There's no book, so no one knows the story. I had some great one-on-one scenes with Andy Serkis, who plays the lead ape, Caesar. Those were amazing, because not only was he doing the body movements flawlessly, but also facial expressions and sounds.
MTV: Was it always guys in motion-capture suits or did you ever have to act opposite a tennis ball or the thin air?
Felton: It's such a strange system. They film it all with the stunt performers who have learned for six months how to move like an ape. It's actually quite scary, watching a dozen men bouncing around the room like apes. They'd film that three times, then we'd film one blank where it's just the humans, then they match up stuff. They have an army of guys with notepads marking all sorts of numbers and graphs and stuff. I don't know how they pull it all off in the end. It's crazy!
MTV: Tell us about your character. You play Brian Cox's son?
Felton: Yeah, when Caesar, our lead ape, gets too big for James Franco's character to look after anymore, they have to put him into a facility. Brian Cox, who plays my dad, owns it, and I work there. Needless to say, I'm supposed to be looking after the apes, but I really don't do that job very well. I don't get on well with them and I'm not that friendly with them. I'm kind of what instigates Caesar's revolt against humans. Before that, he only knew James Franco's character. He thought all humans were going to be friendly and nice. It's through my father and my character that he learns the perils of humanity and how bad we really are.
MTV: So, after Draco, you play another bad guy?
Felton: Well, he's not a good guy. People aren't going to be cheering for me in this film, either. It's villainy, but on a different level.
It's Summer Movie Preview Week, and MTV News will be bringing you exclusive interviews, clips and photos for the most anticipated films of the coming months. Get ready to gorge on inside looks at "Captain America," "The Hangover Part II," "X-Men: First Class," "Cowboys & Aliens" and more.
Check out everything we've got on "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."

Cheat sheet to Dhaka: 10 things to know
Dhaka -- spread over 150 square kilometers and home to an estimated 10 million people -- is the most discreet of Asian capitals. Most people know of it, but few have set foot in the city. So what's it really like? Here are 10 things you'll only know about Dhaka if you've actually been.
1. World's worst traffic
Sure, many Asian cities could stake a claim for the world's worst traffic. But in Dhaka, "rush hour" is what they call the least busy times, when rushing is at least somewhat possible.
A recent government report stated that traffic stands still for more than seven hours a day. You?ll be hard pressed to see the point of doing anything but walking.

Phife Reveals Q-Tip Strife, Defends Tribe Called Quest Doc
'How many groups got documentaries — hip-hop — being done about themselves?' Phife Dawg asks.
By Rebecca Thomas, with additional reporting by Sway Calloway

The hardest part about being in a group is "constantly considering someone else — even before yourself," Q-Tip says in one scene from the documentary "Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest."
In 1990, four friends from a Caribbean-flavored, middle-class hamlet in Queens, New York, became the focus of a bidding war that landed them a (then-whopping) $350,000 major-label deal. All in their late teens at the time, Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Jarobi would go on to become one of the most groundbreaking groups in the history of hip-hop — and eventually one of the most divided.
That tragic division was apparent on Wednesday, when the 5-foot Assassin himself, Phife, made a solo visit to MTV News' "RapFix Live," hours before the Michael Rapaport-directed doc was set to screen at the Tribeca Film Festival. Just last month, Tip and Ali sat on the "RapFix Live" couch with host Sway (Jarobi connected by phone) and detailed their long-simmering issues with the filmmakers. Phife, who had traveled in January to Sundance in support of the doc, was notably absent. Dressed in a red leather jacket and matching sneakers, the animated MC explained why he was a no-show.
"The way I look at it, I want to benefit from the fruits of our labor while they're still ripe — sounds like a Lil Wayne line, right?" Phife laughed, with a nod to Weezy's "6 Foot 7 Foot." "We've been doing this for 20-some-odd years. I got gray hairs because of this rap stuff, not to mention the relationship that me and Tip have had in the past."
A veritable who's-who of hip-hop past and present sat in front of Rapaport's camera to help re-tell the story of ATCQ, from how they approached game-changing sophomore album Low End Theory to the making of the classic ensemble cut "Scenario" to the group's fateful decision to disband in 1998. (Archival footage of MTV's Kurt Loder breaking the news on air punctuates the latter scene.) Native Tongues members, Veteran DJ Red Alert, Angie Martinez, Large Professor, the Beastie Boys, Pete Rock, Prince Paul, Pharrell Williams and Common are just a few of the luminaries who turn up to testify.
"How many groups got documentaries — hip-hop — being done about themselves?" Phife asked rhetorically. "Run-DMC should definitely have a documentary. They're the reason why I wanted to [be a rapper]. Same goes for EPMD, Slick Rick. ... They came to Tribe Called Quest and asked us; we're supposed to count our blessings and embrace this joint right here."
Phife, who plans to release an EP and LP under the title Songs in the Key of Phife, said fans shouldn't hold their breath for new material from Tribe, either. The foursome hasn't been in a studio together in 13 years, according to P. While the documentary celebrates one of rap music's most significant catalogs with stirring scenes like the one of Tip poring over his vinyl collection as he recreates how an old Lonnie Smith record became the basis of ATCQ staple "Can I Kick It," some of the most startling scenes follow the rap icons on the road, beginning with 2008's Rock the Bells jaunt, where things begin to unravel backstage, particularly between lyrical wizards Phife and Tip.
"I think we'll get along more if we just dealt with each other on the normal more so than the actual business, because we definitely be at each other's throats," Phife told MTV News about Q-Tip. Asked if there was still tension between him and Tip, Phife responded emphatically, "Absolutely."
But "the film is dope," Phife said of "Beats, Rhymes & Life," which is set to open July 8 in New York and Los Angeles, and a slew of other cities, including Toronto, St. Louis and San Francisco, in the weeks thereafter.
And for fans holding out for the follow-up to the Love Movement, all hope isn't lost. "I don't know, man, I would like to see that," Phife admitted. "And my only reason for saying that is the fans have stuck by us. Got to give the people what they want."

Dimmu Borgir Release Live DVD; Plus Led Zeppelin, Brujeria, & More News That Rules, In Metal File
'It shows the intense live side of the band, as opposed to the perfection and the cleanness of how we sound on our albums,' guitarist says.

Dimmu Borgir's Silenoz

On October 14, Dimmu Borgir — who just happen to be Demi Lovato's favorite black-metal band — will release a a three-disc DVD/CD set called "The Invaluable Darkness," the band's first visual offering since 2002's "World Misanthropy." Boasting live footage shot last year, during gigs in Norway, Germany and England, "The Invaluable Darkness" demonstrates the unbridled furor of seeing Dimmu live, guitarist Silenoz said.
"It shows the honest rawness and atmospheric darkness of our concerts," the Norwegian told Metal File last week, after dismissing recent online rumors that his band's next LP would be coming out through Roadrunner Records. "Basically, it shows the intense live side of the band, as opposed to the perfection and the cleanness of how we sound on our albums. It's just a different side to the band, basically."
Dimmu Borgir began thinking about "The Invaluable Darkness" two years ago, but didn't start capturing footage until last summer, Silenoz explained, adding that the band will use its current stint on the Blackest of the Black Tour — which got underway Thursday night in Miami Beach, Florida, and also features the tour's founder, Danzig, along with Moonspell, Winds of Plague and Skeletonwitch — to promote the DVD. Dimmu Borgir will not, however, use the tour to write material for their next LP.
"It's our first time on Blackest, but Glenn [Danzig] had wanted to bring us out before [on the tour], but we weren't available until now," Silenoz said. "We've done Ozzfest before, but we're looking forward to this tour more. We did the main stage on Ozzfest, playing in f--_ing broad daylight. This tour will let us play in bigger places, but at the same time showcase more of what the band's about, visually. We are going to concentrate on the tour for now. Some years ago, we tried putting [material] together on the road, but once we got home, we listened back to it, and were like, 'What the f--- is this?' So, we just scrapped it all. We find it's so much better to totally focus on one thing at a time, and then, when that's over, you move on to the next [thing]. We don't really feel like we need to rush things, anyway, so we'll just take our time, and it's going to be what it's going to be."
Dimmu Borgir hope to reconvene in late December to begin writing the follow-up to 2007's diabolically titled In Sorte Diaboli. "We have some ideas floating around already, but we haven't arranged any material yet," he said. "We'll start doing that once the touring for this DVD is over." The band's frontman, Shagrath, is also due to marry soon — he's engaged to actor Nicolas Cage's ex-girlfriend, Christina Fulton, so that may have an effect on when Dimmu finish their next album, which Silenoz said could be out this coming spring.
"I'm sure [Shagrath] won't let anything get in the way [of] the band — I think, I hope," the guitarist said. "We don't need a Yoko [Ono] situation."
While Dimmu have been at it going on 15 years now, Silenoz said he doesn't think their forthcoming material will be much of a departure from their previous black-metal offerings.
"And we have always been about more than just that term, 'black metal,' " he said. "Luckily for us, the older you get, the less concerned you get with the categorization and putting labels on your music. Things start getting more and more limitless with us, and we know that we operate within certain frames. But we try not to analyze things too much, because it's just going to be working against you in the end. When we write new stuff, we don't think about what we should write — we just get together, and put material together, and if we like it, we keep it. That's the formula, if we even have a formula."
Dimmu Borgir are definitely getting older — guitarist Galder will be missing Blackest because of a recent addition to his family, and Susperia's Cyrus will be filling in for him; while former Vader drummer Dariusz Brzozowski takes over for Hellhammer, who had to leave the band in 2007 after sustaining a neck injury that's now limited the use of his right arm. As Dimmu has gotten on in years, Silenoz admits they have failed to keep pace with some of the more extreme black-metal acts that have followed in their wake.
"We helped open doors for the more extreme bands out there," Silenoz said. "I'm sure we helped open doors for bands like Watain, [insomuch as] people that had maybe started listening to us first then went on to the more extreme stuff. Let's face it — we're not as extreme as Watain and other bands like that, but we're fine with that."
The Blackest of the Black Tour continues through November 10 in San Francisco.
The rest of the week's metal news:

Former Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach and current Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz have teamed up for a new project they're calling Times of Grace, and they've already started working on material for their debut album. According to Leach, "We have two songs to go and we will be finished with all of the vocals. Adam has taken lead vocals in three songs as of yet and he is doing a great job. We also worked on a track yesterday that is so epic — we trade vocals and do two different melodies at the same time. This album went from a melodic metal album to an epic mix of metal/rock/pop/shoegaze and punk. So all of your metal expectations will be incorrect — we are pushing genre boundaries."

Jesse Eisenberg, Aziz Ansari Get 'Dangerous' For '30 Minutes Or Less'
'I never drive ever, so I've been given the opportunity and a cool car,' Eisenberg tells MTV News of his daredevil driving.

Jesse Eisenberg is a crazy driver. That's practically all anybody could talk about on the Grand Rapids, Michigan, set of "30 Minutes or Less" last summer. Danny McBride expressed utter surprise that the soon-to-be Oscar nominee was such a daredevil behind the wheel. Director Ruben Fleischer ("Zombieland") was less enthused, concerned as he was that the star of his action comedy might not survive the shoot in one piece.
And Eisenberg himself? The guy couldn't have been more pumped to play, at least for a few scenes, something resembling an action hero. "I live in New York City and ride a bicycle, so I never drive ever, so I've been given the opportunity and a cool car," he told MTV News. "Every time I drive, I get yelled at by the crew, but the stunt drivers always wink at me and say, 'Nah, that was good, man. Keep doing it.' I've been subtly and subversively encouraged to be very dangerous in the car."
On the day of our visit to the set, Eisenberg and his cohorts weren't zooming around in cars, but had settled into a junkyard. The action, though, was no safer. For a full peek into what went down in there, you'll have to wait until next week, when we roll out our full set visit. But as we push forward with this week's Summer Movie Preview, we pulled out a snippet of our chat with Eisenberg and Ansari, plus an exclusive photo of the two guys doing some rather unconventional grocery shopping.
"30 Minutes" follows Eisenberg as a pizza delivery boy who is kidnapped by two hilariously incompetent criminals (McBride and Nick Swardson) and made to rob a bank. With a makeshift bomb strapped to his chest and time ticking away, Eisenberg enlists Ansari to help him accomplish the task. Their adventure, as the red-band trailer makes clear, lands them in some high-speed car chases. And, according to Ansari, the two actors liked the action so much, they're hoping to do more of it in the future.
"I don't know if it's premature to say that he's going to star in the reboot of the 'Fast and the Furious' franchise," he cracked.
"Yes, it is premature. We're in negotiations," Eisenberg responded.
Said Ansari, "Let's just go ahead and tell him. He's taking over the Paul Walker character, I'm taking over the Vin Diesel character. It's a reimagining, a reboot, whatever you want to call it. We're bringing the franchise back. It's gonna be in 3-D and all the movie seats are going to be changed into tiny cars and you can drive along with us."
It's Summer Movie Preview Week, and MTV News will be bringing you exclusive interviews, clips and photos for the most anticipated films of the coming months. Get ready to gorge on inside looks at "Captain America," "The Hangover Part II," "X-Men: First Class," "Cowboys & Aliens" and more.
Check out everything we've got on "30 Minutes or Less."

Aquarium Drunkard Wins O Music Award For Best Indie Music Blog
Site bested rivals like Brooklyn Vegan and Gorilla vs. Bear to take home the inaugural award.

Aquarium Drunkard, the Los Angeles-based site that features daily music news, interviews, reviews, MP3 samples and original music sessions, was named the winner of the inaugural O Music Awards' Best Independent Music Blog award on Tuesday (April 26).
As determined by fan voting, AD beat out a field that included sites like BrooklynVegan.com, ArjanWrites.com and GorillaVsBear.net to win the Best Independent Music Blog title. Started in 2005 by Justin Gage, the site features contributions from everyone from My Morning Jacket's Jim James to Robyn Hitchcock, and has since spun off a record label (Autumn Tone Records), a series of live concerts, and a weekly broadcast on Sirius/XM's XMU channel.
Aquarium Drunkard joins a host of early O Music Award winners; Andy Grammer's choose-your-own-adventure-style "Keep Your Head Up" was named Most Innovative Music Video after a roundtable debate on Monday, and Adam Lambert and Nicki Minaj also picked up wins (sort of), taking home the Favorite F--- Yeah Tumblr trophy and Favorite Animated GIF award, respectively.
When they were announced earlier this month, the O Music Awards promised to be an alternative to the usually staid world of award shows, and they've lived up to the billing by announcing several winners ahead of the actual broadcast ... a trend that will continue in the days leading up to the show, as the winners of categories like Best Fan Forum, Best Animal Performance and Best Tweet will be revealed.
The first-ever O Music Awards stream live from Las Vegas on Thursday at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT.
The inaugural O Music Awards will stream live from Las Vegas on Thursday at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on OMusicAwards.com. Tune in to see who will reign supreme in categories like Most Viral Dance, Funniest Music Short and NSFW Music Video!

John Wood: The man who builds a school every 26 hours ...
This month John Wood came to Mumbai with a mission most would find impossible. He wanted to raise US$1 million in one night.
The Executive Chairman and Founder of Room to Read, an educational charity started a decade ago, knows exactly what he will be able to do with that money.
?With US$1 million we are able to open 200 libraries. That impacts at least 50,000 children,? says Wood.
By the end of Room To Read's fundraising evening on last week at the Westin Hotel in Goregaon, 200 of the city's wealthiest residents give him more than he hoped for.
