We've got a few sneak peek of the Big 3's interview with Oprah airing this weekend. And the fellas are revealing all about LeBron's proposal to Savannah, Chris Bosh's emotional self, Dwyane's maturity, and more.
Peep the peeks, plus Brandy's live breakdown, inside...
This Sunday, Oprah sits down with the NBA's Miami Heat superstars LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for an exclusive interview in Miami at AmericanAirlines Arena (it went down right after the parade this past Monday). She talks with the world champions about their historic win, their friendships on and off the court, “The Decision,” that infamous open letter from Dan Gilbert and Bron's engagement to fiancée Savannah Brinson.
LeBron told the cute story of how he prepped to pop the question to his gorgeous fiancee' Savannah Brinson on New Year's Eve. He said, "I was very nervous. It was like a Finals game."
He had Dwyane holding the ring all night at their NYE party. And told him to give it to him quick before he wasn't able to do it. Ha.
And check out the trailer above for Part 1 of the interviewing airing this Sunday, July 1, 8pET on OWN. Part 2 Airs Next Sunday, July 8 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on OWN.
Brandy appeared on HLN yesterday to speak about her upcoming album, plus give her 2 cents on the "Showbiz Tonight" hot topics like Lady Gaga's new suicide song, why Brandy tapped Chris Brown for her "Put It Down" single and, of course, Whitney.
But when Whitney's new "Celebrate" song came on in the background during the show, Brandy had a tearful breakdown saying:
“That’s my first time hearing the snippet of the new song. It’s tough. This woman has meant everything to me. To know that she’s no longer with us in the physical is very tough and it’s been tough for me and I’m pretty sure everyone who’s been touched by her music.”
She pulled it together and kept it moving like the pro that she is though. Loves her.
The Randomness:
1. Damn! Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes are DIVORCING at 5 years of marriage. STORY
2. Adele is PREGNANT! She announced it on her website today that she and boyfriend Simon (who is 13 years older than her) are expecting. As of January, Simon said he was still in the process of a divorce from his wife. STORY

<P>Leave it to the queen of contradiction, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/madonna/artist.jhtml">Madonna</a>, to kick off her <a href="/news/articles/1683118/madonna-mdna-tour-details.jhtml">world tour</a>
 in support of <I>MDNA</I> in Tel Aviv, Israel, on Thursday night by making a plea for peace in the Middle East during a show in which she brandished a machine gun <I>and</I> a revolver.</P><P>Performing in front of 32,000 fans at a sold-out Ramat Gan Stadium, Madonna dubbed the show a "Concert for Peace" and handed out hundreds of tickets to Israeli peace activists, according to Israeli newspaper <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/culture/arts-leisure/madonna-kicks-off-world-tour-in-tel-aviv-with-a-call-for-mideast-peace.premium-1.433766" target="_blank"><I>Ha'Aretz</I></a>. The night was full of the usual mix of controversial images, bare-chested, buff male dancers and multiple high-fashion costume changes from the 53-year-old pop icon.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Madonna Teases MDNA Tour" id="vid:759066" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>Madonna opened the concert amid images of both crosses and satanic symbols as she took the stage to perform "Girl Gone Wild," by breaking through the glass window of a confessional using a rifle, according to an <a href="http://yhoo.it/Ll4bxb" target="_blank"><I>Associated Press</I></a> report. Wearing a black, skintight outfit, she performed the song accompanied by a troupe of dancers dressed as monks.</P><P>She followed with "Gang Bang," during which the huge onstage screens filled with blood stains and she brandished the firearms while wrestling with armed intruders. Another song, "Revolver," had Madonna swinging around a Kalashnikov rifle as her dancers spun around holding Uzi machine guns.

 of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/lady_gaga/artist.jhtml">Lady Gaga</a>, "Express Yourself" bled into a bit of Mother Monster's "Born This Way," ending with the repeated refrain, "she's not me."</P><P>For that song and the first <I>MDNA</I> single, "Give Me All Your Luvin'," she was dressed as a marching band conductor and was surrounded by similarly dressed cheerleaders and drum majors.</P><P>The show also featured several appearance by Madonna's 11-year-old son, Rocco, who wore a monk's robe and shiny blue t-shirt and orange headphones as he danced along to mum's tunes.</P><P>Madonna is not Jewish, but is a devotee of the Jewish mystical practice of Kabbalah, and the <I>AP</I> reported that at one point in the show she wrapped herself in an Israeli flag and called Israel the "energy center of the world."

"We all bleed the same color. If we can all rise above our egos and our titles and the names of our countries and our religions, and treat everyone around us with dignity and respect, then we are on the road to peace. If there is peace here in the Middle East, there can be peace in the whole world."</P><P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/?fid=1617615"><img src="http://www.mtv.com/news/photos/s/spotted/banner/spotted.jpg"></a></p>

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting a divorce after more than five years of marriage.

Suri was born in April 2006, and Tom and Katie tied the knot in a special Italian ceremony in November of that year. Since then, the Cruise family, along with Suri's big brother and sister, Connor and Isabella Cruise, have stayed close. Click through to remember the way Tom and Katie were.

Controversial reality star Mimi Faust chatted it up with V103 radio personality Egypt about "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta," her relationship with Stevie J, and what she thinks about Joseline Hernandez and Karlie Redd. Deets inside....
Stevie J's baby momma is finally having her say OFF CAMERA about the drama being exposed on VH1's hit show "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta." She talked to radio personality Egypt about her business deal with Stevie J (where he basically tried to pay her off for his affairs), the house he gave her (she gave it back) and she revealed they "may not" be a couple anymore. See the highlights:
Egypt: So I watched your face when you found out on camera that Joseline said she was having a thing with him (Stevie J), that she was in love with him. How did that feel in the middle of a room with people and why do it?
Mimi: Um, I think Joseline she just says whatever out of her mouth with no regard and I mean… (pauses and gets emotional)
Egypt: There were a lot of questions when people knew you were coming on the show, like how long were you guys really dating? I heard you say 15 years on tv.
Mimi: I want to clear this up. I’ve known him for 15 years. We have dated off and on. I have not been with Stevie straight for 15 years. I was absolutely not with Stevie when he was with Eve. I wasn’t with Stevie when he was with Alex, Whoopi Goldberg’s daughter. I was not with Stevie when he was in any other relationship. So I’ve known Stevie for 15 years and we’ve dated off and on but for the past 3.5/4 years we have been together.
Egypt: Ok. What is it about this man? Just keep it real. What is it about him that has these women going crazy? Because it’s not the singing- what is it? Is it the… pow pow
Mimi: If you watch the first episode I clearly stated I have never met a… that has made me do cartwheels. I clearly said that in the first episode. What I think what it is for me the connection that him and I had and also I’m just flat out he lies to me a lot. I mean that’s just the bottom line. He’ll say one thing to me and he’ll say one thing to her or whoever else but and im not with him when he’s out with anyone else. I only know what goes on when we’re together.
Egypt: Most of us have either been there or have been there, where we love someone so much they tell us the right things we wanna hear. They lie to us just enough for us to say okay and sleep at night. But now you’ve seen it on tv. What has changed now that you actually see it for what it is.
Mimi: A lot has changed. You guys, when you’re in a relationship and things happen, it’s a process of getting out. One thing will happen and you just don’t leave your family because one thing happened. So it’s definitely a process of a transition and process stage that you go through so that’s what I’m going through right now.
Egypt: Is it that you want to keep your family together? I know you have a two-year-old.
Mimi: I would love to keep my family together. But at this point I don’t see that happening so I’m willing to just let this do what it do.
Egypt: I was a little upset with you last night when you decided to take a commission of Stevie’s business in exchange…well it felt like you were accepting all of the mess that had happened on the prior episode. That everything was forgiven as long as you got 10% or 20% What did you get? 10 or 20?
Mimi: No no no no no. What it was was I wanted to be more involved in the business. It wasn’t I was accepting a payoff. I actually wanted to be involved. If I put in this work and I have been dealing with this this long I want to be more hands-on with the situation as far as making the money and everything that goes along with it.
Egypt: There was one thing I wanted to address. You said Karlie last night surprised you on the show. Why?
Mimi: She kinda threw me under the bus last night. Joseline came to see her and it was a gym scene and she told Joseline that I was talking about her or something along those lines and said it more than once and I’m like were we watching the same show?!

Romeo Miller tells MTV News he's already met with Lionsgate about possibly appearing in one of the 'Hunger Games' flicks.

Romeo Miller (formerly known as Lil' Romeo) has racked up an impressive number of credits in the decade or so that he's been acting. As the 22-year-old makes moves in his career as an adult actor, Romeo has his eyes set on one franchise in particular.
One of Miller's ideal projects would be a trip to Panem for "The Hunger Games," he told MTV News during a recent interview for "Madea's Witness Protection." In fact, he's already met with Lionsgate to discuss the possibility.
Although he got his start as the rap star son of Master P, Miller has been acting for years now. "A lot of people don't know I've been doing this for 10 years now," he said. "I felt that all of that was practice, leading up to the time now."
But for his next roles, Miller has his sights set on an acting career similar to Will Smith. "I want to be the next big action hero or I want to do a lot of romantic type movies, romantic comedies, a little bit of everything, but definitely the next action hero," Miller said, and then added, "You can see me in 'The Hunger Games' or something like that. Just throwing that out there."
Though he admitted to not being very familiar with Suzanne Collins' books, Miller confirmed that there has been some discussion about possibly joining "Catching Fire," which is currently casting.
"I actually just met with Lionsgate about that, so you may be seeing me in one of the 'Hunger Games.' That's all I'm saying," Miller said. "Not a particular role, we just had a meeting, seeing if it was something I was interested in. I can't really talk too much, or they'll kill me. You know how 'The Hunger Games' is."

Spears goes head to head with Demi Lovato after a young male contestant performs in the first auditions.
By Emily Blake
<P>When "The X Factor" producers announced that they were adding Britney Spears to the judges' panel, experts and viewers wondered whether she would have what it takes to sit alongside Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid to dole out advice to bright-eyed singers. But from the sounds of audio leaked to <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/24/britney-spears-x-factor-demi-lovato/">TMZ</a> from the first round of auditions, it seems that the audience thinks Spears will do just fine.</P><P>After months of speculation, <a href="/news/articles/1684813/britney-spears-x-factor-judge.jhtml">Spears was officially added to the "X Factor"</a> judges' panel in May for a cool $15 million per season. While the show doesn't premiere until September, audio leaked Thursday (May 24) from auditions in Austin, Texas, give us a taste of what we'll be in for come fall. In the clip, Spears and fellow newbie Demi Lovato give differing critiques to a young male contestant.</P><P>"I think that you have a great voice and your tone was great," 19-year-old Lovato told the contestant. "But, I don't really know where you fit. I don't know what's going to set you apart from other musicians who are boys. So, I think you just have to find out what makes you special and what separates you from all the other teenage boys in this industry."</P><P>Britney, on the other hand, had a some kinder words for the amateur singer. "I think you can be bigger than the next Justin Bieber," Spears said, eliciting a rambunctious response from the crowd.</P><P>"I feel like your runs are amazing," she added. "And I do feel like with a little more training, you could actually [inaudible] better presentation, but I see what's there. And you're very gifted. Thank you."</P><P><i>Do you think that Britney Spears and Demi Lovato have what it takes to be a judge on "The X Factor"?

'The last three years of my life have been extremely experimental in style, lifestyle, in music and in fun,' Usher tells MTV News.
By Christina Garibaldi
<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/usher/artist.jhtml">Usher</a>'s seventh studio album may be titled <a href="/news/articles/1685178/usher-looking-4-myself.jhtml"><i>Looking 4 Myself</a>,</i> but judging from the sound of his latest effort, he's found what he's looking for. Although the musical landscape has drastically changed over the years, unlike most artists, Usher has consistently evolved with it. He takes some risks with this album, and let's face it: He's earned the right to do just that.</P><P>Usher has called his latest album's sound <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/03/30/ushers-looking-for-myself-album-june/">"revolutionary pop"</a> and that's exactly what it is. <i>Looking 4 Myself</i> takes his fans on a musical journey that has the singer experimenting with different sounds and working with different producers, but at the same time sticking with what he does best — making infectious music that gets people on their feet and in the clubs.</P><P>Usher himself admits that this album is unlike anything he's done, and he recently told MTV News that he credits his life experiences as the real inspiration behind this new sound.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="'Every Album Should Represent An Evolution,' Usher Says" id="vid:789771.id:1686957 " width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"It is an experience that was kind of based off of the places that I've gone and the music that I've listened to, the styles that I've been inspired by and also some of the emotions that I've been able to feel," Usher said. "You know, for me, every album should represent kind of an evolution. The last three years of my life have been extremely experimental in style, lifestyle, in music and in fun. I travel to different places, met and sat with different artists, made a lot of friends, and in doing that I created new music."</P><P>One can tell that Usher took his time with this album, meticulously picking out each beat and working with producers he's never worked with before. He <a href="/news/articles/1682000/climax-usher-diplo.jhtml">teamed up with Diplo</a>, who produced the bold, artistic lead single, <a href="/news/articles/1685264/usher-climax.jhtml">"Climax,"</a> Swedish House Mafia and the late Amy Winehouse's producer, Salaam Remi. Mixing these new producers with veterans like <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/will_i_am/artist.jhtml">will.i.am</a>, <a href="/news/articles/1685352/usher-looking-4-myself-scream.jhtml">Max Martin</a> and <a href="/news/articles/1685266/usher-twisted.jhtml">Pharrell</a>, Usher found himself with a sound that mixes retro, electro and R&B.</P><P>"I think when making this album, it was about what felt good. After I had an understanding of different styles, I began to find the music that I felt comfortable with, even though it was a little bit different," Usher said. "I would find the melody and the emotion in it, most of the time it's a beat, it's a beat on the guitar or the piano, and then the melody finds its way and then the words begin to find a way. A lot of them came from travel so I thought back to where I was, kind of took my mental diary out and began to take myself back to that experience to what I think the people were experiencing or what I felt in that moment."</P><P><i>Looking 4 Myself</i> drops Tuesday, June 12.</P><P><i>Are you excited for Usher's album? Let us know in the comments.</i></P><P><center><a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/?fid=1617615"><img src="http://www.mtv.com/news/photos/s/spotted/banner/spotted.jpg"></a></center></p>

SISTER: Now, Jack, if a stranger says, "Come here, I want to show you something," what do you do?
JACK: I turn around and run!
SISTER: If a stranger says, "Come here, I want to give you some candy," what do you do?
JACK: I turn around and run!
SISTER: If a stranger says, "Come here, I want to show you my puppy," what do you do?
JACK: Oh, I love puppies...

Director Michael Bay speaks out on his plans for his fourth and final round with the robots in disguise.

When "Transformers" revs up for its fourth big-screen adventure, you'll see plenty of familiar faces along for the ride: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee. ... But there won't be a single human character from the old guard. Unless, of course, you count director Michael Bay.
"It's a new cast," the director matter-of-factly told the Los Angeles Times about his plans for "Transformers 4," which will not feature Shia LaBeouf's Sam Witwicky at all. "We're moving on to something different."
"It's not a reboot, that's maybe the wrong word," Bay added. "I don't want to say reboot because then people will think we're doing a Spider-Man and starting from the beginning. We're not. We're taking the story that you've seen &8212; the story we've told in three movies already &8212; and we're taking it in a new direction. But we're leaving those three as the history. It all still counts. I met with the writer before I went off to do 'Pain and Gain' and we talked about a bunch of ideas. We let that simmer for a bit. He's been thinking about stuff and now we're getting back together next week to see what we've got and to see if it gels."
One of the new ideas that Bay has cooked up: the possibility of bringing the Autobots and Decepticons to outer space.
"I think so, yeah, a little," he said when asked if the fourth film would go off-planet. "That feels like the way to go, doesn't it? I want to go a little off, but I don't want to go too sci-fi. I still want to keep it grounded. That's what works in these movies, that's what makes it accessible."
Bay said that "Transformers 4," which will have a smaller budget than its predecessors by "about $30 million," will be his final ride with Prime and pals. He's said as much in the past, of course — but this time, Bay insists that he means business.
"Here's the thing, it's tough to find someone who's done these kind of movies and to have the complication of creating the new stuff that needs to be in this movie — not just characters but a new type of action, I hope — and that's a lot for someone new to bite off," said the director. "And so after this one I will leave it in the best hands possible. That's the plan."

Lindsay Lohan just can't seem to catch a break while filming her upcoming Lifetime movie, Liz & Dick. She recently totaled her rental car on the way to the film's set and then was reportedly found unconscious due to exhaustion in her hotel room (she says she was suffering from exhaustion and was in a deep sleep). Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, two Hollywood unions are investigating working conditions on Liz & Dick to make sure that the folks behind the project aren't making their employees work in unsafe conditions.
