<P>In a sea of A-list contributions for will.i.am's forthcoming solo album, the Black Eyed Peas mastermind recently dropped one name that will really get pop fans excited. Speaking with <a href="http://www.capitalfm.com/artists/william/news/britney-spears-alicia-keys-new-album/" target="_blank">Capital FM</a>, will teased that his <i>Femme Fatale</i> collaborator Britney Spears will make an appearance on the album, dubbed <i>#willpower.</i> </p><div class="player-placeholder right" id="vid:638813" width="240" height="211"></div><p> "I have a song with Alicia Keys &#8212; me, Alicia and Swedish House Mafia. I have a song with the Beats, which is pretty grand. Me and Shakira have been trying to finish the stuff we started, and me and Britney is really crazy," he said. "So we got a song with me, LMFAO and Eva Simons, a song with me and Busta Rhymes and Swizz Beatz &#8212; I got a whole other bunch of collaborations." Spears and will.i.am last worked together on "Big Fat Bass," a spacey, grinding party tune complete with clapping noises and some rapping from will himself. Their recording session was featured on the MTV special <a href="/news/articles/1660830/britney-spears-femme-fatale-previews.jhtml">"I Am the Femme Fatale."</a> There's been no word yet from will's camp about the song and whether this is a new track or if he will be including "Big Fat Bass" on the album. The rapper/producer's love for Brit is hardly anything new: He <a href="/news/articles/1662289/britney-spears-will-i-am-big-fat-bass.jhtml">gushed to MTV News about the pop princess</a> months after they recorded together. "[I discovered] her love for music. I never seen anyone, like, come alive, full of excitement and giggling and laughing behind the mic," will recalled to MTV News. "She was like a little kid when she was recording the song, and it just brought the whole atmosphere, it changed the whole atmosphere when someone really loves music. So it was great working with her." His latest single, "T.H.E (The Hardest Ever)," featuring Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger, dropped late last year. <i>#willpower,</i> which also features "X Factor" judge Nicole Scherzinger, will be released later this year. <i>What are you expecting from will and Brit's collabo? Let us know in the comments!</i></p>

‘He has his own paintbrush and his own colors,’ Neptunes producer tells MTV News, nominating Rozay for ‘Hottest MCs in the Game.’

When it comes to MCs, Pharrell has worked with some of the greats. Skateboard P has produced and rhymed with the likes of Jay-Z, Kanye West, T.I. and Snoop Dogg, and for this year’s hottest MC in the game, P has a nomination: “Rick Ross is on his way, he’s working his way. He’s been doing it for a minute, and he’s been really consistent,” the Neptunes producer told MTV News on Friday in Miami.

The debate rages on, and Sunday, February 19, the “Hottest MCs in the Game VII” will premiere on MTV2. During the half-hour special, MTV’s Hottest MCs Hip-Hop Brain Trust will gather at the roundtable and decide the top five rappers in the game. Beginning February 13, MTV will reveal MCs 10 through six online, but only one spitter can snag the #1 spot.

If Pharrell has his way, Rozay will conquer all in this highly contested debate. “That guy is an animal; he’s an animal with it. Lyrically, he’s crazy, and he’s just got a very distinct style, it’s his own,” P campaigned. “There were a lot of comparisons made at the beginning of his career, but along with the test of time, he’s proven that he’s his own person and he has his own paintbrush and his own colors.”

Skateboard might be just a bit biased as he reveals to MTV News that he and the Bawse have some very exciting things in the works — then again, Pharrell has worked with a number of MCs who could contend for the crown. “He and I have something special too. We have a special record too, but we’re still working,” the multiplatinum producer said. “I’m happy to be a part of it.”

Tune in to MTV2 on Sunday, February 19, at 10 p.m. ET/PT to catch “MTV2 Presents: Yo! MTV Raps Classic Cuts,” then watch “Hottest MCs in the Game VII” immediately after at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT before capping the night off with “Sucker Free Certified” at 11 p.m. ET/PT.

With Daniel Radcliffe’s ‘Woman in Black’ hitting theaters, MTV News checks in on rest of the cast.

For the chill-seekers and Daniel Radcliffe fans out there, “The Woman in Black” is likely the must-see movie this weekend. The story revolves around young lawyer Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), who stumbles upon a dark and mysterious phenomenon gripping a small town in England.

In celebration of the release of “Black,” Radcliffe’s first big post-”Harry Potter” movie (in which there isn’t a wand or wizard in sight), we thought it would be a good time to check in with the rest of the Hogwarts alumni and look at their upcoming projects.

Daniel Radcliffe

 Radcliffe’s next film role is poet Allen Ginsberg in the independent film “Kill Your Darlings,” which is about how Ginsberg and fellow Beat Generation icons Jack Kerouac and Lucien Carr first met. The likable superstar told MTV News recently that he hopes his 2012 is all “about film, film, film,” with a possible return to the stage in a couple years.

Emma Watson

 Watson has been a busy bee since wrapping “Deathly Hallows, Part 2.” She can currently be seen in awards-season darling “My Week With Marilyn.” Next up is her first turn as an American in the anticipated big-screen adaptation of Stephen Chbosky’s coming-of-age novel “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” Earlier this week it was reported that Watson is in talks to team up with “Potter” director David Yates for a new drama called “Your Voice in My Head.” 



Rupert Grint

 Grint has managed to appear in a few films throughout his years with “Potter,” but his first role since the series ended is in the anti-war film “Into the White,” formerly known as “Comrade.” After that you can listen for his voice in the animated “Postman Pat: The Movie - You Know You’re the One.” Then he’s hoping to star in the biopic “Eddie the Eagle,” based on Eddie Edwards, the first British native to represent the country in Olympic ski jumping.

Tom Felton

 Following his role in the 2011 blockbuster “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” two-time Best Villain winner Tom Felton will appear in the ghostly thriller “Apparition,” opposite Ashley Greene and “Captain America” star Sebastian Stan.

Felton just wrapped shooting on upcoming TV series “Labryinth,” and he also has golf drama “From the Rough” with Taraji P. Henson in the can awaiting a release date.

Bonnie Wright

 The lovely titian-tressed actress recently wrapped production on “The Philosophers,” a fantasy thriller set at an international school in Jakarta that features fellow “Potter” castmate Freddie Stroma. Wright will follow up “Philosophers” with a role in the “Sweat - London” segment of the ensemble piece “Geography of the Hapless Heart.”



Matthew Lewis

 When he’s not posing for smoldery photos, the suddenly grown-up and stylish Lewis is busy making careful choices for his post-”Potter” career. He just wrapped filming on a major BBC TV project called “The Syndicate” and will start work on a new film, “Wasteland,” from writer-director Rowan Athale, at the end of February. 



Freddie Stroma

 Although he didn’t have tons of screen time as wannabe Lothario Cormac McLaggen, Stroma has a lot cooking career-wise. In case you missed him in the made-for-TV movie “A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song” opposite Lucy Hale, don’t fret: The onetime aspiring neurosurgeon will be on the big screen in “Pitch Perfect,” the Elizabeth Banks-produced comedy about college a cappella competitions, and he’ll follow that with “The Philosophers.”

Check out everything we’ve got on “The Woman in Black.”
