The new season is here!Here are the seven LIP SYNC BATTLE Moments to Remember

What do you get when you pit two celebrities against each other, battling head-to-head for the pinnacle of all arbitrary trophies, the coveted Lip Sync Battle belt? You get an instant hit, that’s what.

Now heading into its third season, it’s hard to believe that Lip Sync Battle was created from a brainstorming session in a car with creator John Krasinski, Stephen Merchant and Emily Blunt. Two seasons and over 40 episodes later, the show shows no signs of slowing down.

Check out some of the best moments from seasons 1 and 2 of Lip Sync Battle below and view/embed a video showing more highlights HERE. Then get ready for more epic performances as Lip Sync Battle returns for its third season on Tuesday, 6 December. Screen icon Sir Ben Kingsley takes on the extremely talented John Cho in the premiere. Expect the likes of Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, Laverne Cox, Lupita Nyong’o, Samira Wiley, Regina Hall, and more in upcoming episodes. Lip Sync Battle airs every Tuesday at 9.55pm on Comedy Central (HyppTV Channel 609).

1. Anne Hathaway vs. Emily Blunt

You’ll never look at Anne Hathaway the same way again after watching her spot-on impersonation of Miley Cyrus. The performance saw her leaping onto a real wrecking ball and flipping the bird at her competitor – Emily Blunt, which is perhaps one of the most GIF-worthy moments of the season!

2. Mike Tyson vs. Terry Crews

Anyone who has seen White Chicks will not be able to forget Terry Crews singing to “A Thousand Miles”. This performance saw him giving what seems to be his best rendition yet as he begins on the piano and proceeds to strip his shirt off as the track progresses. Honestly, we’re not sure which version is better.

3. Julianne Hough vs. Derek Hough

Professional dancer Derek Hough took the stage to perform his rendition of Sia’s “Chandelier” and nailed not only the lyrics but the dance moves as well. Let’s face it, those moves are pretty difficult and a little weird to most of us but Derek pulls them off easily, while looking like an adult, male version of Maddie Ziegler.

4. Josh Gad vs. Kaley Cuoco

We’re getting all the Britney vibes just from looking at this picture. In this episode, Kaley Cuoco recreated Britney Spears’ iconic performance of “I’m a Slave 4 U” at the MTV Video Music Awards back in 2001. She not only dressed and looked the part, she even brought a yellow python on stage with her!

5. Eva Longoria vs. Hayden Panettiere

A memorable moment from this episode would have to be Christina Aguilera’s guest appearance alongside Hayden Panettiere during her performance of “Lady Marmalade”. Aguilera looked amazing as always, which made us forget who we were supposed to be focusing on in the first place.

6. Anna Kendrick vs. John Krasinski

Anna Kendrick stole the show with her performance of One Direction’s “Steal My Girl”. What made it so amazing? She sang to a slide show of competitor, John Krasinski’s wife – Emily Blunt, and even unveiled a custom shirt with a heart shaped photo of herself and Blunt. Now that is something you needed to see for yourself.

7. Dwayne Johnson vs. Jimmy Fallon

Lip Sync Battle on January 18, 2015 with Jimmy Fallon and Dwayne Johnson.

We can’t talk enough about the best moments and this includes Dwayne Johnson and Jimmy Fallon’s battle. After all, this was the debut episode which set the tone for the rest of the show. It featured Johnson’s iconic eyebrow-raise, which is not something you expect to see during a performance of Bee Gees track “Stayin Alive”.

Hosted by funnyman Evan Spaulding, the nastiest bedrooms will be brought straight to your screens every Monday, starting 25 January at 6.30pm (TH/WIB), 7.30pm (SG), 8.30pm (MY) and every Friday, starting 29 January at 11am (PH).

The show follows Evan with his HazMat-suited team on his grubby encounters to track down the dirtiest slobs and most infested pigsties. From cockroaches to dog poop to unidentified body fluids; it will have you squirming in your shoes.

192790-Grossbusters Pic 3 (Credit - MTV)-2314f6-original-1452741060

After witnessing the stomach-churning mess that these guilty grime mongers have made – Evan shames them into changing their ways for good by offering each offender The Dirty Deal. To keep their side of The Dirty Deal, the sorry sleaze balls must take part in a humiliating and public Moment of Shame, before clearing their unimaginable mess and agreeing to change their filthy ways forever.

In return, the Grossbusters team will give the wrongdoer’s cesspit bedroom a life-changing Deluxe Upgrade!

With some of Evan’s comedic influences being Will Ferrell, the Wayans brothers and Jim Carrey, there is sure to be some laughter amidst all the grime. You won’t know whether to laugh or cry at some of the pigsties that Evan will be helping to muck out.

“I’m so excited to be working on this brand new show with MTV. I live and breathe comedy, so when I was asked to work on something which required finding the funny side in something so gross, I was well up to the challenge! It has been great fun, albeit a little-stomach churning at times,” says Evan Spaulding.

Episode one kicks off with slovenly student Melania and Instagram loving Justin. Melania’s room is so filthy she’s been forced to sleep at work, and Justin…well let’s just say there’s no filter on Instagram that would fix his Insta-grime!

192791-Grossbusters Pic 2 (Credit - MTV)-f95bb5-original-1452741060

Just as you think it couldn’t get any worse, episode two brings you Maggie from Connecticut, whose room has attracted stink bugs, and hair stylist Franchely who lets her guinea pig roam around freely, so her room is covered in animal poop!

Tune in to MTV this January and watch the Grossbusters give these bedrooms a facelift.

MILAN TO HOST THE 2015 MTV EMA

740x350xema-milano-740x350.jpg.pagespeed.ic.xPbMLvg1S7

MTV has announced the MTV EMA, its global awards show that celebrates the world’s hottest musical acts, will be held next year in Milan, Italy, as part of the Expo 2015 activities. The announcement comes just one day after MTV staged a successful 2014 EMA in Glasgow, Scotland.

During the awards show last night, Nicki Minaj announced the 2015 MTV EMA will be held at the Mediolanum Forum in Milan on the 25th of October. Italy and the city of Milan will serve as the official location for Expo 2015, the Universal Exhibition, and the MTV EMA will close out a year of international events taking place in Milan.

It will be the second time that MTV’s premier international awards show will be held in Milan and the third time Italy has played host to the show. The MTV EMA, which is staged in a different city each year, last visited Milan in 1998 and Rome in 2004.

“We’re thrilled to bring the 2015 MTV EMA to Milan – an iconic city where art, fashion and music collide, and home to the World Expo,” said Bruce Gillmer, Executive Vice President of Music / Talent Programming and Events for Viacom International Media Networks, and Executive Producer of the MTV EMA.  “One of the world’s biggest cultural capitals, Milan will undoubtedly set the stage for one of the biggest global music events of the year.”

“Young people are the key players of today and tomorrow and the main recipients of the message of Expo Milano 2015,” explained Roberto Arditti, Institutional Affairs Director of Expo 2015 Company. “Involving them in the issues at the heart of the Universal Exhibition and stimulating their curiosity about the world they live in, where they will build their professional and personal future, is one of the purposes of this extraordinary event that Milan will host in less than six months. MTV has the position and the right enthusiasm to be able to reach these important target visitors – we are expecting at least 2 million students – and to give the Expo Milano 2015 a long-lasting legacy”.

“The MTV EMA excites huge interest amongst Italian fans, so it’s fantastic to be able to bring the show back to Milan,” said Raffaele Annecchino, Executive Vice President and Managing Director VIMN South Europe, Middle East & Africa. “The 2004 show in Rome was a huge success. Now, we’re looking forward to delivering an even bigger and better experience with the 2015 MTV EMA in partnership with EXPO, bringing thousands of people from around the world to Milan.”

MTV and Expo Milano 2015 have also created a new co-branded on-air and online campaign that will be aired on MTV channels and platforms across Brazil, South Korea, Japan, China, Russia, UK, France, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Argentina, Holland and Italy. The campaign has been produced by I AM A BEAN s.r.l.
