A smart comedy about a day in the life of a barbershop on the south side of Chicago. Calvin (Cube), who inherited the struggling business from his deceased father, views the shop as nothing but a burden and waste of his time. After selling the shop to a local loan shark, Calvin slowly begins to see his father's vision and legacy and struggles with the notion that he just sold it out. Calvin's barbershop is filled with an eclectic and hilarious cast of characters that share their stories, jokes, trials and tribulations. In the shop we find Eddie (the Entertainer), an old barber with strong opinions and no customers. Jimmy (Thomas) is a highly educated barber with a superiority complex who can't stand Isaac (Garity), the new, white barber who just wants a shot at cutting some hair. Ricky is an ex-con with two strikes against him and is desperately trying to stay straight. Terri (Eve) is a hard-edged woman who can't seem to leave her two-timing boyfriend. And lastly there's Dinka, a fellow barber who is madly in love with Terri but doesn't get the time of day. (www.imdb.com)

'It was really cool to have him here,' Brian Byrne tells MTV News.By Mawuse Ziegbe Brian Byrne, owner of Son of a Gun Tattoo and Barbershop Photo: MTV Canada Not even tough tattoo artists are immune to Justin Bieber's charms. Brian Byrne, the co-owner of the Son of a Gun Tattoo and Barbershop where the pop phenom got inked back in March, said the Biebs is just as dreamy in person as any screaming fan would expect. "He's kind of hard to miss. He's pretty cute," Byrne told MTV News. "He's, like, super cute, actually. That hair, that smile, those clothes, those major-high high-tops," Byrne joked. Byrne also revealed at that the star's Jonathan Livingston Seagull tattoo has special meaning for Bieber. "From what I can gather, I guess a bunch of people in his family actually have that same tattoo, his dad included," Byrne said. Bieber's dad accompanied the heartthrob as he got his body art. Byrne said the ink session went smoothly and that Bieber handled it like a champ. "He was a super nice kid. He was nice in our shop, he didn't cry or nothing like that. It went really well. It was really cool to have him here." But for fans freaking out that Bieber might be too young to get tatted up, Byrne said it's up to the shop owners to decide who does and doesn't get ink. Son of a Gun only tattoos kids younger than 18 who have parental consent. Plus, the shop has some pretty strict rules so youngsters don't get stuck with eternally lame tattoos. "Anybody who's under 25 we won't do hands and neck," Byrne said. "[If] a 16-year-old kid comes in and wants, like, a pot leaf or something ... forget it. I don't care if you have your parents' consent, you're gonna regret it." Byrne said Bieber's tattoo was different because it was a family tradition and that the overall experience was positive. "It was all really done in a good, clean way," Byrne said. What do you think of Bieber's ink? Let us know in the comments!

Brian Byrne also confirms tattoo is of Jonathan Livingston Seagull.By Kara Warner Justin Bieber gets a tattoo in March Photo: Splash News Photos of Justin Bieber getting a tattoo took the Internet by storm on Monday, with many wondering both what the ink actually depicts and whether or not it was real. Well, Brian Byrne, co-owner of Son of a Gun Tattoo and Barbershop in Toronto, where Bieber got his new ink, broke down the story for MTV News via phone on Tuesday (May 18). "It was back in March, March 4th or 5th" Byrne said. "The guy who tattooed him, Charlie, is a lifelong friend of Jeremy's, Justin's dad — they're all from Stratford. When it came up, he called Charlie and asked if he could do it and keep it quiet. We made sure the shop was empty and there was nobody around." Byrne also confirmed reports that the tattoo was a celebration of both Bieber's birthday and family tradition. "It was a 16th birthday tattoo," Byrne said. "I guess his dad has it, and one of his uncles. It's the outline of the seagull from Jonathan Livingston Seagull." During the process, Byrne said that Bieber was a trooper throughout — particularly because the area he had tattooed, his left hip, is extremely sensitive. "That's a bad area, definitely. He was great. He was nervous but then got into it and it was done. It's very tiny. "He laid there and sucked it up, his dad took a bunch of pictures and video and everybody talked to him. He's a very nice kid." As for the legality and parental consent, Byrne confirmed that Son of a Gun has strict policies about whom they tattoo. "Our rule at the shop is: no necks, no hands, unless you're over 25; and you don't get tattooed at all unless you're 18 years old." That rule bends slightly, Byrne explained, if you have a parent with you, and depending on what type of tattoo it is. "[We'll do it] if you're 16 and you have your parental consent, and it's a memorial tattoo or some type of family tattoo. We're pretty sticky with that. We don't want kids running around with garbage on them that [they'll later regret]." With all the press their shop has now received, Byrne joked that they're thinking of renaming it the "Tattooed Bieber Shop." "At least if the kids who love him can't get tattoos, their moms can." Son of a Gun Tattoo and Barbershop opened in November 2009 and is co-owned by Byrne, CJ Owen and Paul Rogers. They're already getting ready to open new locations. And, naturally, Byrne would be happy to have Bieber in for more work, should he want it. "We're ready for him anytime."

'I cut everybody's hair for the prom,' the singer says.By Jayson Rodriguez Trey Songz Photo: MTV News We all know Trey Songz is a ladies man, but the extent of his devotion to the opposite sex hasn't truly been revealed until now. "When I was 17 I did my girlfriend's eyebrows," the singer confessed during the premiere of MTV's "When I Was 17." But to be fair, Trey Songz was a barber-in-training at the time, keeping the fellas and the ladies looking sharp. It all started when he devised a plan to receive early dismissal from school and enrolled in a trade that he thought he would be able to take lightly. Instead, the Virgina native found himself with an intense schedule that included learning the finer points of hair care, from cutting heads to, well, waxing eyebrows. His skills eventually became so in demand that his friends lined up at his house to score haircuts before prom. "I cut everybody's hair for the prom," he recalled. "That whole week of prom, like every day, probably at least five to 10 guys would come over to the house to get a shape-up," his cousin Jay chimed in. The downside to his popularity with his clippers resulted in some hotheaded customers, literally. "My clippers got so hot, I remember I messed my homeboy's head up so bad," he recalled, smiling. "He had scars for, like, the next two days. [Traces his hair line to show where the damage was done.] All that. My bad." "When I Was 17" featuring Trey Songz, Khloe Kardashian and Perez Hilton premieres Saturday (May 1) at 11 a.m. on MTV. Related Artists Trey Songz

Chicago MC says talk-show host had 'credible argument' when he compared Chicago to Haiti.By Shaheem Reid Lupe Fiasco Photo: MTV News Controversial comments by TV talk show host Bill O'Reilly hit the Internet Wednesday (January 27), causing plenty of talk on the chat boards. Audio from an O'Reilly appearance in Westbury, New York, was posted on mediamatters.org, featuring O'Reilly comparing Chicago to Haiti. "I'm seeing a guy [President Obama] who's very, very committed to the government," O'Reilly said. "The government's going to solve the problems, and I'm going, I don't know, how's that possible? If you've ever been to the South Side of Chicago, I mean, it's a disaster, all right? It's like Haiti, it's like — I've been to Haiti a couple of times. I support some charities there, but Haiti just never gets better, no matter how much money you put in there because they don't have a system. And I said the government can't do it, but Obama really believes the government can do it." One of Chicago's favorite sons, Lupe Fiasco, says that although he does not support O'Reilly, he does see the need to improve communities in Chicago. "There's a certain level of concurrence," Lupe said. "Not now. There's no toppled buildings, unless you want to count the projects. But pre-earthquake Haiti ... When I went to Africa, when I was in Tanzania, it was weird because there was this extreme poverty and extreme corruption and it looked so much like the West Side of Chicago. In [the documentary I shot over there] you'll see me say that. There's no grass, there's a barbershop, there's a sneaker store, there's a liquor store and a bunch of Coca-Cola everywhere." Fiasco, who recently climbed all the way to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro with a group of activists and celebrities including Jessica Biel and Kenna, says that ghettos across the world can sometimes resemble each other. "I don't want to be pointed out as supporting Bill O'Reilly in any way because he can be on the garbage sometimes. When you're comparing certain areas in the U.S. that are predominantly African American or Latino, it's very easy to compare it to the Third World," Lupe said. "Just in the amount of violence that's there, the corruption that's there, the gang activity that's there. It's prevalent and dominant in Haiti. The corruption of the local politicians, the abject, corporate exploitation that takes place there, loan sharking, all that stuff. I think you can make the comparison to a lot of places in the U.S. Oakland, Detroit. Detroit's got abandoned buildings. On that note, he's definitely not out of the ballpark. There's a credible argument there. I agree with that in some aspects." Related Artists Lupe Fiasco

There’s just something about this Batman: Arkham Asylum ad that makes me laugh and squeal with joy and terror every time I watch it — perhaps because it’s probably the only ad I can compare to late-period Federico Fellini (or at least early Sam Raimi). Now, we all know that the Dancing Skeleton has a long
