Stephanie Seymour Brant and Husband Call Off Divorce
Model Stephanie Seymour Brant and husband Peter Brant withdrew their divorce petition in Middletown, CT today, exiting the courthouse together.
The couple tells ET, "The parties have withdrawn their divorce action and are reconciling. They ask that their privacy be respected."
A young woman named Alyssa Pallett told the NY Post that she'd had an affair with Peter, and the Brants responded with strong words, saying, "It is truly sad that this woman is seeking to promote herself in such a shameless manner. Her account is full of untruths and she is exaggerating any role she had in our lives. She is totally irrelevant to us and our family."

She's the Queen of Style! Vintage Vixen Dita Von Teese's Glamorous Get-Ups!
Pin-up queen and burlesque performer Dita Von Teese is regarded by the fashion elite as one of the world's best dressed. Initially known for her marriage with ex-husband and goth rocker Marilyn Manson, the pale-skinned, raven-haired beauty opts for structured corsets instead of tank tops, ornate ball gowns instead of jeans and classic up 'dos instead of casual pony tails. The self-styled fashion icon's aesthetic is simple -- vintage classic -- and it hearkens back to another era, where glamour over comfort was en vogue.
ET has some of Dita's most glamorous and decadent fashion choices through the years. Take a look!

Randy Quaid and Wife Found Squatting in Old House
Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi were reportedly arrested this weekend on charges of felony residential burglary after they were found living in a guest house without permission.
The Santa Barbara County sheriff's deputies were notified on Saturday afternoon that the Quaids were squatting in their old house, the Associated Press reports. They were arrested and charged with a misdemeanor of entering a noncommercial building without consent, in addition to their burglary charge. Evi, 47, was also charged with resisting arrest, and bail was set at $50,000 each.
Last September, the Quaids were charged with defrauding an innkeeper out of more than $10,000 in addition to conspiracy and burglary after they were accused of bailing on their bill after staying at the upscale San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif. The couple claimed to have later paid their bill, but authorities continued to pursue the case against them. The felony charges against Randy were dropped in April, while his wife Evi pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor.

Justin Bieber's 3-D Movie Due February 11
Director Jon Chu says it won't be a 'typical concert film.'By Kara Warner

All right, Beliebers: We know you're still digesting Justin Bieber's VMA performance, Best New Artist win and Canadian reunion with Drake on the white carpet, but now we have some more info about your favorite teen heartthrob. His 3-D concert movie is due February 11.
Deadline first reported the big news from Paramount on Wednesday (September 15), but MTV News has been following the film's development since its inception. Director Jon Chu told us the film is for Bieber's fans and that it won't be just a typical concert movie.
"[It's] a movie for his fans, a movie for people who don't know him, and we're gonna tell the underdog story of where he came from," the "Step Up 3D" director explained. "Because it's a really fascinating story and it has a lot to do with our sort of digital lifestyle now. He was able to do what corporations try to do now when they use YouTube and they don't even know what to do with it yet. It's a pretty cool story for our time."
Chu said his goal is to make the film a blend of concert/biopic/documentary. "There's not going to be acted-out scenes, and I can't talk about the rest. It's not your typical concert film and it's not going to be a biopic ... but it is about his life. I think it's more of a documentary. We're going to figure it out as we go," he said. As for how much of it will be in 3-D, he said, "You'll have to see it. We're figuring that out now."
The Biebs has a lot on his plate. In addition to the film, he is working on his new video for "U Smile," his memoir hits bookstores in October, he'll appear on "CSI" next week and is also said to be involved with Will Smith's upcoming top-secret movie.
Are you counting down the days until February 11? Let us know in the comments below!

Justin Bieber Sings For Fans At Hooters In Canada

Justin Bieber is living the life. The 16-year-old superstar was spotted and photographed with a bevy of Hooters waitresses after he stopped by the restaurant's local outpost at the West Edmonton Mall in Canada on Saturday, the Edmonton Sun reports. He was in town for a stop on his My World tour.
Not only did Bieber and his entourage, including four of his backup dancers, stop by for a quick visit, he also serenaded everyone at the restaurant. One of the servers at the restaurant, Tania Biggar, explained, "We were talking about deep-fried pickles. Then they said they would sing to me for free deep-fried pickles. The manager said if they sang for the whole restaurant, he'd pay for their entire meal. They serenaded the girls. They were actually super-polite. They were just awesome people to serve. They weren't demanding or anything like that."
The impromptu performance had fans in a frenzy. "Everybody that was sitting around them went over to talk to them. They told them they did an awesome job of singing," she said.
Biggar further explained that while the Hooters girls did get a photo with Bieber, they didn't get much one-on-one time with him. "None of the [servers] really got to talk to him. He was surrounded by his fans," she said. "That's how we knew he was coming in — it was all 14-year-old girls. And they all kind of move as one."
YouTube footage of the Hooters visit shows Bieber, dressed in a black jacket and black hat, walking through crowds of people. Despite all the fans trying to catch a glimpse of the star, it seems things remained relatively more low-key than past Bieber mall appearances.
The restaurant's manager, Sonny Verma, confirmed the blink-and-you'll-miss-him appearance of the "U Smile" singer to the Edmonton Journal. "We probably had a row six people deep and 10 people long at the window. It was pretty cool," he said. "I was told about 10, 15 minutes he came in here. It was really quick. He came in, took a quick picture and took off."

'Borat' to Play Freddie Mercury on the Big Screen
Sacha Baron Cohen -- the comic mastermind behind 'Borat,' 'Bruno' and "Da Ali G Show" -- is set to star as the late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in an upcoming biopic about the rock legend.
The currently untitled drama will focus on the years leading up to Queen's revered performance at 1985's Live Aid concert event. The movie is being developed by GK Films in partnership with Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal's Tribeca Productions, and Queen Films.
"Queen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time, and a music brand all unto itself," says GK Film's Graham King. "Freddie Mercury was an awe-inspiring performer, so with Sacha in the starring role coupled with Peter [Morgan]'s screenplay and the support of Queen, we have the perfect combination to tell the real story behind their success."

Justin Bieber Joins Ranks Of Pop Stars With 'CSI' Cameos
Bieber's season-premiere debut follows guest turns by Diddy, Taylor Swift and more. By Jocelyn Vena
Justin Bieber in "CSI"

Justin Bieber is making his "CSI" debut on Thursday night (September 23), and while it remains to be seen whether the teen idol can pull out an Emmy-worthy performance, his appearance on the show continues the series' tradition of casting marquee names for guest spots.
Taylor Swift got to live out her dream in March 2009, when she played Haley, a girl found dead outside of a motel. While Swift didn't have very many lines, the pop singer did display some chops onscreen and got to indulge her morbid acting fantasies.
"I've always joked around with my record label and my mom and everybody — all my friends know that my dream is to die on 'CSI,' " she said last year. "I've always wanted to be one of the characters on there that they're trying to figure out what happened to."
But not everyone plays the victim. When Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz made a cameo on the show in March 2009, they hit up the East Coast version of the show on "CSI: NY." The Wentzes went dark for their parts as Chester Byron and Lila Wickfield, playing a young couple entangled in the world of drug-dealing.
"It's easy to play passionate roles with the person you love," Wentz said about hooking up with his wife onscreen. "There's nothing weird about it when you love the person."
Diddy worked the opposite end of the legal spectrum when he was cast as a defense attorney on "CSI: Miami" in December 2008. Describing his character as a "nemesis" to David Caruso's he explained, "I wanted to keep on studying and learning; working with great actors, directors, great shows. I've never done a television drama. I've always wanted to play a lawyer. I didn't want to play, like, a rap artist or a criminal."
And that brings it back to Bieber, who'll make his first of two appearances this week as troubled kid Jason McCann on "CSI" (the second will air in February). He'll certainly be showing fans a side of him they haven't seen.
"He's a troubled young man, raised in the foster-care system, whose hard-luck life has left him scarred and angry," executive producer Carol Mendelsohn told MTV News last month. "When we first meet Jason, we meet him at a community center where he's giving a testimonial in honor of a man who takes Jason and his older brother in when they had no one else, and that man is now in jail and Jason's brother is out for revenge and looking for payback."

Justin Bieber is making his "CSI" debut on Thursday night (September 23), and while it remains to be seen whether the teen idol can pull out an Emmy-worthy performance, his appearance on the show continues the series' tradition of casting marquee names for guest spots.
Taylor Swift got to live out her dream in March 2009, when she played Haley, a girl found dead outside of a motel. While Swift didn't have very many lines, the pop singer did display some chops onscreen and got to indulge her morbid acting fantasies.
"I've always joked around with my record label and my mom and everybody — all my friends know that my dream is to die on 'CSI,' " she said last year. "I've always wanted to be one of the characters on there that they're trying to figure out what happened to."
But not everyone plays the victim. When Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz made a cameo on the show in March 2009, they hit up the East Coast version of the show on "CSI: NY." The Wentzes went dark for their parts as Chester Byron and Lila Wickfield, playing a young couple entangled in the world of drug-dealing.
"It's easy to play passionate roles with the person you love," Wentz said about hooking up with his wife onscreen. "There's nothing weird about it when you love the person."
Diddy worked the opposite end of the legal spectrum when he was cast as a defense attorney on "CSI: Miami" in December 2008. Describing his character as a "nemesis" to David Caruso's he explained, "I wanted to keep on studying and learning; working with great actors, directors, great shows. I've never done a television drama. I've always wanted to play a lawyer. I didn't want to play, like, a rap artist or a criminal."
And that brings it back to Bieber, who'll make his first of two appearances this week as troubled kid Jason McCann on "CSI" (the second will air in February). He'll certainly be showing fans a side of him they haven't seen.
"He's a troubled young man, raised in the foster-care system, whose hard-luck life has left him scarred and angry," executive producer Carol Mendelsohn told MTV News last month.

American Idol judges announced!J. Lo: "I am looking for the next Michael Jackson ? I really am"
It's official! Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler will join Randy Jackson as judges on the 10th anniversary season of American Idol, which premieres January 2011 on FOX.
?I am looking for the next Michael Jackson ? I really am!" revealed Jennifer after being announced as a new judge by Idol host Ryan Seacrest. "For nine years, I?ve enjoyed watching artists compete to get a meaningful chance to achieve their dreams. I know from my own experience how hard it is to succeed, and I?m looking forward to discovering and nurturing that spirit in the many American Idol contestants I look forward to meeting this year.?
Steven adds, ?I?ve been on tour for most of my life in a band with four guys who judge me every day. Sometimes it hurt, but it only made me stronger. I want to give everybody a little love before I decide who goes home heartbroken. If you don?t like what I say, don?t get mad, get better. I?m ready to bring some rock to this ?roller? coaster and show these kids if they have the dream, the talent and the drive, they will be the next American Idol."
And despite saying goodbye to colleagues Simon Cowell and Kara DioGuardi, the show must go on for the returning Randy. ?I can?t believe it?s been 10 years of the greatest show in the world," says Randy. "I am looking forward to this next season; we are going to knock it out of the park. Season 10 is going to be hot!?

Lady Gaga To Attend Maine Anti-'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Rally
Singer will join Servicemembers Legal Defense Network's #4the14k event Monday.By Mawuse Ziegbe

Lady Gaga's campaign against the U.S. Armed Forces' "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy has been building momentum in the past few weeks. The singer has publicly championed the repeal of the measure, by flying out members of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network for the VMAs, tweeting her opinions to senators and releasing viral videos urging her fans to get involved in the cause.
Now, after hitting the white carpet and taking to the Web, Gaga is heading to Maine to raise awareness at a large gay-rights event. The pop superstar is slated to appear at the #4the14k rally organized by the SLDN in Portland, Maine on Monday. The title references the approximately 14,000 citizens discharged under DADT, and veterans affected by the military's controversial measure will address attendees. The event will kick off at 4 p.m. ET.
"Meet me in Portland, Maine 2moro, 9/20 to help repeal #DADT. I'm holding a Rally + speaking live in Deering Oaks Park," Gaga tweeted on Sunday (September 19).
SLDN maintains that the organization seeks to draw the support of Republican Maine Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, who could significantly affect the passing of the National Defense Authorization Act, a bill which includes the repeal of DADT. The bill would benefit from bipartisan support in order to overtake Arizona Senator John McCain's filibuster.
Gaga has been working with the organization recently and detailed her views on DADT in a viral video released on Friday.
"[The] SLDN's advocacy proves that these soldiers are being searched; superiors are going through their e-mails and private belongings, calling family members and operating based on assumptions. Ultimately, the law is being enforced using gay profiling. ... In short, not only is the law unconstitutional, but it's not even being properly enforced by the government," Gaga said.
"I am here to be a voice for my generation, not the generation of the senators who are voting, but for the youth of this country, the generation that is affected by this law and whose children will be affected," she continued. "We are not asking you to agree with or approve the moral implications of homosexuality; we're asking you to do your job, to protect the constitution."

'The Situation''s iPhone App is a 'Shore' Thing
"Jersey Shore"'s Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino has taken his "GTL" prowess to a new mobile app that's already made it to the list of Top 10 highest grossing Apple applications since its release last Thursday. "It's done extremely well, and we believe it will continue to do so," Apple's Adam Matuzich told The Hollywood Reporter. According to THR, a rep for Apple said the application, available for $4.99, soared to the top ten list and gives users access to locate "GTL" (Gym, Tan, Laundry) facilities, offers a workout routine aimed to get beach-worthy abs and has a "grenade" dodging video game. The features are directly inspired by phrases and experiences made famous by The Situation and the cast of MTV's "Jersey Shore." Users can also email the "Dancing with the Stars" contestant directly via the app.

Justin Bieber's 3-D Movie Due February 11
Director Jon Chu says it won't be a 'typical concert film.'By Kara Warner

All right, Beliebers: We know you're still digesting Justin Bieber's VMA performance, Best New Artist win and Canadian reunion with Drake on the white carpet, but now we have some more info about your favorite teen heartthrob. His 3-D concert movie is due February 11.
Deadline first reported the big news from Paramount on Wednesday (September 15), but MTV News has been following the film's development since its inception. Director Jon Chu told us the film is for Bieber's fans and that it won't be just a typical concert movie.
"[It's] a movie for his fans, a movie for people who don't know him, and we're gonna tell the underdog story of where he came from," the "Step Up 3D" director explained. "Because it's a really fascinating story and it has a lot to do with our sort of digital lifestyle now. He was able to do what corporations try to do now when they use YouTube and they don't even know what to do with it yet. It's a pretty cool story for our time."
Chu said his goal is to make the film a blend of concert/biopic/documentary. "There's not going to be acted-out scenes, and I can't talk about the rest. It's not your typical concert film and it's not going to be a biopic ... but it is about his life. I think it's more of a documentary. We're going to figure it out as we go," he said. As for how much of it will be in 3-D, he said, "You'll have to see it. We're figuring that out now."
The Biebs has a lot on his plate. In addition to the film, he is working on his new video for "U Smile," his memoir hits bookstores in October, he'll appear on "CSI" next week and is also said to be involved with Will Smith's upcoming top-secret movie.

Usher Opens Up About Marriage To Tameka Foster
'It just was never going to work out 100 percent,' the singer says. By Mawuse Ziegbe
Usher and Tameka Foster

Usher's personal life — or public speculation about what has happened behind closed doors — has often figured prominently in the singer's work. Fans ate up the 2004 Confessions LP, which dropped amid rumors that Usher had stepped out on ex-girlfriend Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. Similarly, the singer had endured whispers about his reportedly rocky marriage to stylist Tameka Foster before his latest album, Raymond v. Raymond, debuted at #1 this year.
On the heels of the release of Versus, an extension of Raymond, the R&B crooner opened up about why he wasn't able to make it work with Foster.
"We're two different people and we have two different goals," Usher told People. "It just was never going to work out 100 percent."
Just like he did with his monster album Confessions, the ATL singer turned the heartbreak into hits.
"My music is about where I am at the time," Usher explained. "In Raymond v. Raymond, I was going through a lot of things, and it came out in my music. My marriage fell apart and
I was suddenly a single father."
Continuing his tradition of mining his personal life for inspiration, Usher said that Versus is "about being a dating father."
Earlier this year, the buzz surrounding his relationship with Foster ramped up when Usher's track "Papers," a song about ending a marriage by signing off on divorce documents, hit airwaves. However, Usher told MTV News in March that while the track wasn't inspired by a real-life situation, it unfortunately became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
"When the song was recorded, I wasn't divorced," Usher said. "It was some reality in the contrast of trying to make it all work, having to balance a career and having a normal life. Coming in at six in the morning and arguing was a reality when you have those type of relationships. I felt that in a way, the story did touch on certain things at the time. I didn't know how realistic it would become. I didn't know I would become divorced. I did know it spoke on the contrast between trying to balance this world of being married and having this responsibility that's like a marriage at the same time. The song spoke to that place. Unfortunately, it did become a reality."

Halle Berry on Swimming with Sharks in 'Dark Tide'
Halle Berry is diving back into action movie-making in a big way -- swimming with real great white sharks for her upcoming film, 'Dark Tide,' and ET is exclusively with her on the set where she talks about everything from daring stunts, to her young daughter Nahla.
"I touched a real shark, like a real great white shark in the wild," Halle tells Mark Steines as she shoots scenes on the film's set at Pinewood Studios outside London. "When I went to go touch the shark they had me tethered to the boat, and I finally said, 'Wait a second, why am I tied to the boat?' And they said, 'Well if the shark gets you, we want them to just get your arm and not your whole body.'"
But Halle reassures Mark, saying, "We all knew that we took every safety precaution, it was something I wanted to do and that I felt like you know would be safe to try to do."

"This is one of my favorite shows I've ever played," she told ET. "That's because I think it's so unexpected and so over the top and fun ... What a thrill it was when the bell rang and you just saw a wave of kids ... and just like 'oh my gosh! this is amazing!'"

Katherine Jackson Sues Concert Promoter Over Michael's Death
Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, is suing the concert promoter behind Michael's intended comeback shows for alleged fraud and other claims -- and she's filed the suit on behalf of Michael's three children as well.
In the complaint, filed in L.A. on Wednesday, Katherine -- seeking unspecified damages -- accuses concert promoter AEG Live of failing to make good on its agreement to provide Dr. Conrad Murray with lifesaving equipment.
Katherine also claims the company failed to properly investigate Murray's background before hiring him as Michael's personal physician. Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in Michael's June 25, 2009 death.

'Borat' to Play Freddie Mercury on the Big Screen
Sacha Baron Cohen -- the comic mastermind behind 'Borat,' 'Bruno' and "Da Ali G Show" -- is set to star as the late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in an upcoming biopic about the rock legend.
The currently untitled drama will focus on the years leading up to Queen's revered performance at 1985's Live Aid concert event. The movie is being developed by GK Films in partnership with Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal's Tribeca Productions, and Queen Films.
"Queen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time, and a music brand all unto itself," says GK Film's Graham King. "Freddie Mercury was an awe-inspiring performer, so with Sacha in the starring role coupled with Peter [Morgan]'s screenplay and the support of Queen, we have the perfect combination to tell the real story behind their success."

Lady Gaga's Meat Dress 'Didn't Smell At All,' Insider Says
'Is she really wearing a meat outfit?' Gaga's backstage VMA escort recalls thinking.By Mawuse Ziegbe

Lady Gaga's meat dress is one of the biggest fashion statements in VMA history, but despite the outsize media, fan and PETA attention, the ensemble was actually one of the superstar's more wearable looks of the evening.
"It didn't smell at all," Ernesto Elias of MTV Music and Talent, who escorted Gaga to and from her seat throughout Sunday's show, told MTV News on Thursday (September 16). Although Gaga was rocking pounds of raw meat under the glare of the Nokia Theatre lights, Elias said the fleshy frock wasn't gag-inducing. "I actually was able to get a picture taken with her and kinda touched it. It was just your regular old feeling of meat."
The crafty couture may have had the usual touches of a choice cut of beef, but the visual punch the look packed was anything but typical. Well, maybe it was typical for Gaga.
"Pretty much every time that dressing-room door would open up, it was always a surprise, because I never knew what to expect," Elias said. "That last time was a real shock, just because I was confused if it was really meat or what. At first, it kind of looks fake, but at a closer glance, I could tell it was real."
Gaga's final sashay backstage caught other VMA insiders off guard as well.
"When I'm walking her from her dressing room to her seat, I'm always five or 10 steps ahead, just kind of clearing a path. And ... people would just take a double take," Elias said, describing the behind-the-scenes impact of Gaga's outfit. "Just 'cause they weren't quite sure what they were really looking at. Then she would walk by them, and they'd get a better glimpse, and [it] probably left them confused — as most people were."
Gaga kept the ensemble carcass-coordinated as well, encasing some sky-high heels in slivers of meat. "They were real shoes and they just used the meat and wrapped it around the shoes. They used the butcher's twine to hold the meat in place," Elias said. "The shoes ... without the meat on them [were] just huge, like, heel platforms, I guess."
The meat mini capped off another night of decadent fashion, which included a black ball gown that "was very heavy. She needed to walk very slow to get to one place or another just because of the weight of the outfit," Elias said. Gaga also hit the white carpet in a flowing Alexander McQueen creation as she simultaneously pulled off both a fashion and political statement with several openly gay military vets on her arm.
Unlike her breakout runway-show-within-an-awards-show moment at the 2009 VMAs, Gaga had more time to put on each elaborate outfit. However, the pacing and styling of every look was very likely still planned with the same detail-oriented precision as her debut VMA outing. "She's very professional in how she's coming across with all this sort of stuff," Elias said. And as millions of viewers and VMA attendees witnessed at this year's festivities, Gaga kept it consistent with some seriously "over-the-top" fashion.
Even Elias, who led Gaga through the gaggle of backstage mayhem that is the VMAs, had to reflect upon the impact of the protein-packed garb. "I was probably just thinking: Is she really wearing a meat outfit?"

Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Other VMA Winners Thank Fans On Twitter
'We did it together and we are just getting started!!!' Bieber tweets to his fans.By Josh Wigler

"Woke up ... had a good breakfast ... got a smile on my face ... everyone is feeling good ... it's finally here."
"It," of course, refers to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, and the speaker in question is none other than "Baby" singer Justin Bieber. On Sunday, Bieber — who was nominated for Best New Artist — tweeted to his legions of Twitter followers to express his excitement over the impending awards show. "Regardless of what happens, I'm lucky to have the greatest fans ever," he wrote. "So thank you!"
By the end of the night, Bieber had more than luck and his fans on his side — he also had a Moonman to call his own.
"Wow. What?? Are you kidding. What!!?!" an ecstatic Bieber tweeted immediately following his win for Best New Artist. "Can't stop smiling!"
Bieber offered his thanks to a wide range of supporters, from his mother to his manager, Scooter Braun, to legendary martial artist and actor Chuck Norris. The singer acknowledged that he was likely leaving someone out, so he simply decided to thank "everybody."
"Biggest thank you in the world to the greatest fans in the world," he wrote. "We did it together and we are just getting started!!!"
Of course, Bieber wasn't the only musician lucky enough to leave the Nokia Theatre with a shiny new trophy. Lady Gaga, for instance, went home with a walloping eight awards, including Best Pop Video, Best Female Video and Video of the Year.
"Too much poetry tonight," Lady G tweeted, along with a photo of herself, after the show was over. "But u love u, + I love I, + we were #bornthisway."
30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto was equally grateful after winning the Best Rock Video award for "Kings and Queens." "An unforgettable and amazing night," he tweeted. "We are the luckiest band in the world to be able to share our lives with all of you."
Sadly, not everyone was able to claim victory at the VMAs. Drake, who lost Best Hip-Hop Video to Eminem, ended the night with his head held high despite the loss. "Thank you for all the love tonight," he told his Twitter followers. "I had the time of my life."
Hayley Williams of Paramore had a similar outlook, despite losing Best Rock Video and three other awards for her collaboration with B.o.B on "Airplanes." "Even though we didn't win, our time was up on that stage," Williams tweeted. "We had the best time performing. So we still won!"

Ry Cuming: A Rising Star Revealed
Ry Cuming may be the next big thing in music, and ET's got the backstory on this rising musical talent! The Australian native grew up on the beach and began surfing at age 3. It wasn't until age 5 that he picked up his first guitar. "We grew up on the beach and literally spent six hours in the water every day, almost like fish," Cuming says. And before he even released his self-titled debut album, he won two Australian Dolphin awards and has his music on "MTV's Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County." He also earned a musical appearance alongside Maroon 5 and Jimmy Buffett in the movie 'Hoot.'

VMA Predictions: How Did Our Oddsmaker Do?
Lady Gaga and Eminem were the big winners, just like Richard Gardner forecasted.By James Montgomery and Kelley L. Carter

So how did our oddsmaker fare with his predictions for who would take home the top prizes for the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards? Well, if you're a betting man (or woman), he wasn't too shabby.
Before the VMAs went down Sunday night, MTV News chatted with Richard Gardner, sportsbook manager for Bodog.com, and asked him to weigh in on which musicians would dominate at the awards show. Gardner guessed every major award correctly except one. We're impressed! Let's review his thoughts and reveal the actual outcomes.
Best Female Video
Lady Gaga, "Bad Romance": 2/5
Katy Perry (featuring Snoop Dogg), "California Gurls": 7/2
Taylor Swift, "Fifteen": 7/1
Beyoncé (featuring Lady Gaga), "Video Phone": 8/1
Ke$ha, "Tik Tok": 11/1
Bodog's Pre-Show Take: "Although Best Female Video will probably go to Ms. Gaga at 2/5, Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg's 'California Gurls' Candy Land trip is a strong contender at 7/2. Meanwhile, we don't think Taylor Swift will win for 'Fifteen' with 7/1 odds, but if she does, Kanye will have to scramble to put a speech together."
Who Actually Won: Gaga
Best Male Video
Eminem, "Not Afraid": 11/10
B.o.B (featuring Hayley Williams), "Airplanes": 2/1
Jason Derülo, "In My Head": 4/1
Usher featuring Will.I.Am, "OMG": 11/2
Drake, "Find Your Love": 10/1
Bodog's Pre-Show Take: "Without a Gaga to contend with, the odds are more interesting for Best Male Video. Eminem's comeback is officially a success and thus, we're pitting the master of the internal rhyme as the favorite to win. We've given B.o.B and Hayley Williams the 2/1 second favorite, and although we are fans of Jason Derülo's song 'In My Head,' we don't necessarily like its chances to win at 4/1."
Who Actually Won: Eminem
Best Rock Video
Muse, "Uprising": 7/5
Florence and the Machine, "Dog Days Are Over": 2/1
30 Seconds to Mars, "Kings and Queens"": 4/1
Paramore, "Ignorance": 11/2
MGMT, "Flash Delirium": 6/1
Bodog's Pre-Show Take: "Muse is the favorite here at 7/5 for the sheer potency of the song 'Uprising,' while MGMT pulls up the rear at a respectable 6/1 with 'Flash Delirium.' This is a very close category with no heavy favorite and no real long shot. So far we've had a number of bettors taking a shot on 'Kings and Queens' at 4/1."
Who Actually Won: 30 Seconds to Mars
Best Hip-Hop Video
Eminem, "Not Afraid": 5/4
B.o.B (featuring Hayley Williams), "Airplanes": 3/2
Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem, "Forever": 3/1
Kid Cudi (featuring MGMT and Ratatat), "Pursuit of Happiness": 8/1
Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz, "On to the Next One": 12/1
Bodog's Pre-Show Take: "Eminem is a favorite here at 5/4 because everyone likes a comeback. He's lost the weight, he's looking sharp, and he's working the introspective vibe that seems to be his best source of inspiration. Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz's 'On to the Next One' definitely gets points for originality, and while Jay-Z has no shortage of fans, we think the black-and-white video is a little too avant-garde to take the win."
Who Actually Won: Eminem
Best Pop Video
Lady Gaga, "Bad Romance": 1/2
Katy Perry (featuring Snoop Dogg), "California Gurls": 3/1
Beyoncé (featuring Lady Gaga), "Video Phone": 13/2
Ke$ha, "Tik Tok": 7/1
B.o.B (featuring Bruno Mars), "Nothin' on You": 12/1
Bodog's Pre-Show Take: " 'Bad Romance' is an obvious favorite here at 1/2, based on nothing more than the Gaga factor. Katy Perry with Snoop Dogg is second favorite here at 3/1 with 'California Gurls,' while B.o.B featuring Bruno Mars is the long shot at 12/1 for 'Nothin' on You.' "
Who Actually Won: Gaga's "Bad Romance"
Best New Artist
Justin Bieber (featuring Ludacris), "Baby": 4/5
Ke$ha, "Tik Tok": 2/1
Jason Derülo, "In My Head": 7/2
Nicki Minaj (featuring Sean Garrett), "Massive Attack": 12/1
Broken Bells, "The Ghost Inside": 14/1
Bodog's Pre-Show Take: "We can't imagine a world where Justin Bieber doesn't win for Best New Artist, which is why he's a huge favorite at 4/5. The legions of fans out there with Bieber fever will make the difference and likely secure Bieber more hardware for his already buckling shelf. On the other side of the odds spectrum, Broken Bells' 'Ghost Inside' is thought-provoking and engaging, but the buzz just isn't there to make this one a contender. For those who disagree, the money is there to be made, as they pay out extremely well at 12/1."
Who Actually Won: Bieber
Video of the Year
Lady Gaga, "Bad Romance"": 1/1
Lady Gaga (featuring Beyoncé), "Telephone": 5/2
Eminem, "Not Afraid": 11/2
B.o.B (featuring Hayley Williams), "Airplanes": 6/1
Florence and the Machine, "Dog Days Are Over": 10/1
30 Seconds to Mars, "Kings and Queens": 12/1
Bodog's Pre-Show Take: "Although we wouldn't put our money on her being able to walk through an airport gracefully, Bodog's odds suggest that Lady Gaga will take home the Video of the Year Award for 'Bad Romance,' a video so edgy you just can't take your eyes off it. It's safe to say we're expecting the 2010 VMAs to feature a lot of Gaga. Meanwhile, the long shot of the bunch is 'Kings and Queens,' by 30 Seconds to Mars."
Who Actually Won: Gaga's "Bad Romance"

Bodog's Pre-Show Take: "Although Best Female Video will probably go to Ms. Gaga at 2/5, Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg's 'California Gurls' Candy Land trip is a strong contender at 7/2. Meanwhile, we don't think Taylor Swift will win for 'Fifteen' with 7/1 odds, but if she does, Kanye will have to scramble to put a speech together."
Who Actually Won: Gaga
Best Male Video
Eminem, "Not Afraid": 11/10
B.o.B (featuring Hayley Williams), "Airplanes": 2/1
Jason Derülo, "In My Head": 4/1
Usher featuring Will.I.Am, "OMG": 11/2
Drake, "Find Your Love": 10/1
Bodog's Pre-Show Take: "Without a Gaga to contend with, the odds are more interesting for Best Male Video. Eminem's comeback is officially a success and thus, we're pitting the master of the internal rhyme as the favorite to win. We've given B.o.B and Hayley Williams the 2/1 second favorite, and although we are fans of Jason Derülo's song 'In My Head,' we don't necessarily like its chances to win at 4/1."
Who Actually Won: Eminem
Best Rock Video
Muse, "Uprising": 7/5
Florence and the Machine, "Dog Days Are Over": 2/1
30 Seconds to Mars, "Kings and Queens"": 4/1
Paramore, "Ignorance": 11/2
MGMT, "Flash Delirium": 6/1
Bodog's Pre-Show Take: "Muse is the favorite here at 7/5 for the sheer potency of the song 'Uprising,' while MGMT pulls up the rear at a respectable 6/1 with 'Flash Delirium.' This is a very close category with no heavy favorite and no real long shot. So far we've had a number of bettors taking a shot on 'Kings and Queens' at 4/1."
Who Actually Won: 30 Seconds to Mars
Best Hip-Hop Video
Eminem, "Not Afraid": 5/4
B.o.B (featuring Hayley Williams), "Airplanes": 3/2
Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem, "Forever": 3/1
Kid Cudi (featuring MGMT and Ratatat), "Pursuit of Happiness": 8/1
Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz, "On to the Next One": 12/1
Bodog's Pre-Show Take: "Eminem is a favorite here at 5/4 because everyone likes a comeback. He's lost the weight, he's looking sharp, and he's working the introspective vibe that seems to be his best source of inspiration. Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz's 'On to the Next One' definitely gets points for originality, and while Jay-Z has no shortage of fans, we think the black-and-white video is a little too avant-garde to take the win."
Who Actually Won: Eminem
Best Pop Video
Lady Gaga, "Bad Romance": 1/2
Katy Perry (featuring Snoop Dogg), "California Gurls": 3/1
Beyoncé (featuring Lady Gaga), "Video Phone": 13/2
Ke$ha, "Tik Tok": 7/1
B.o.B (featuring Bruno Mars), "Nothin' on You": 12/1
Bodog's Pre-Show Take: " 'Bad Romance' is an obvious favorite here at 1/2, based on nothing more than the Gaga factor. Katy Perry with Snoop Dogg is second favorite here at 3/1 with 'California Gurls,' while B.o.B featuring Bruno Mars is the long shot at 12/1 for 'Nothin' on You.' "
Who Actually Won: Gaga's "Bad Romance"
Best New Artist
Justin Bieber (featuring Ludacris), "Baby": 4/5
Ke$ha, "Tik Tok": 2/1
Jason Derülo, "In My Head": 7/2
Nicki Minaj (featuring Sean Garrett), "Massive Attack": 12/1
Broken Bells, "The Ghost Inside": 14/1
Bodog's Pre-Show Take: "We can't imagine a world where Justin Bieber doesn't win for Best New Artist, which is why he's a huge favorite at 4/5. The legions of fans out there with Bieber fever will make the difference and likely secure Bieber more hardware for his already buckling shelf. On the other side of the odds spectrum, Broken Bells' 'Ghost Inside' is thought-provoking and engaging, but the buzz just isn't there to make this one a contender. For those who disagree, the money is there to be made, as they pay out extremely well at 12/1."
Who Actually Won: Bieber
Video of the Year
Lady Gaga, "Bad Romance"": 1/1
Lady Gaga (featuring Beyoncé), "Telephone": 5/2
Eminem, "Not Afraid": 11/2
B.o.B (featuring Hayley Williams), "Airplanes": 6/1
Florence and the Machine, "Dog Days Are Over": 10/1
30 Seconds to Mars, "Kings and Queens": 12/1
Bodog's Pre-Show Take: "Although we wouldn't put our money on her being able to walk through an airport gracefully, Bodog's odds suggest that Lady Gaga will take home the Video of the Year Award for 'Bad Romance,' a video so edgy you just can't take your eyes off it. It's safe to say we're expecting the 2010 VMAs to feature a lot of Gaga. Meanwhile, the long shot of the bunch is 'Kings and Queens,' by 30 Seconds to Mars."
