Game Of Thrones Recap: Blood And Blackwater

BSB open up to MTV News about making a set list from 20 years of hits, plus their thoughts on tourmates Pauly D and Jesse McCartney.By Jocelyn Vena Backstreet Boys Photo: Paul Archuleta/ FilmMagic What do you get when you take the Backstreet Boys, and then toss in Jesse McCartney and DJ Pauly D for good measure? "A lot of testosterone," according to BSB's Howie Dorough. The boy band recently dished to MTV News about their upcoming summer tour, and told us that while they certainly aren't newbies when it comes to the road, their experience means they feel ready for anything. In 2011 and 2012, they went on massive tours with New Kids on the Block, and those jaunts were something like a traveling pop wolf pack. "We just finished a tour with nine of us," A.J. McLean said of the NKTOTBSB run, adding that for the new tour, Pauly D being on the lineup ensures there will be "lots of fist pumping going on." The In a World Like This Tour celebrates the boy band's 20-year anniversary and kicks off August 2 in Chicago. It will cross North America for five weeks before wrapping up September 8 in San Francisco. "We're excited [because] we actually worked with Jesse before," Nick Carter said of McCartney, who opened for the guys on their Never Gone Tour in 2005. "We had a great time with him and, obviously, the relationship has stood." "And Pauly D has a great fanbase. Now it'll be Double Ds, between me and him, on the road," Howie D joked. Did One Direction Do The Backstreet Boys Justice? Just days before the tour kicks off on July 30, the band will release their album, In a World Like This. (Their upcoming single, which shares its title with the tour and LP, drops on June 25.) The fivesome admitted that whittling down two decades of music, while still incorporating new tracks, is proving to be a challenge. "The thing about the tour is we have 20 years' worth of music to celebrate with our fans, so that's going to be cool," said Kevin Richardson, who returned to the group last year. "But we also have an album that we're very proud of, [and] we want to share some of that new music with them live, so we're going to have a combo of both. And we're going to be bringing back some of the old moves." Backstreet may have also worked out a system to guarantee everyone goes home happy each night. "What we're thinking about doing — Howie brought up a great idea — is like almost having a wild-card song," Richardson explained. "So every night, every show, we'll maybe have a list to choose from. And I don't know how [the fans] can do this, maybe they can tweet it. It would be almost like 'Wheel of Fortune' or you spin the wheel [to choose a song]. Every night, it kind of rotates 'cause inevitably we're going to leave out something the fans want to hear. But every night they'll have a shot to hear [it]."

Zach Galifianakis recalls filming Melissa McCarthy's shocking cameo.By Kevin P. Sullivan Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis Photo: MTV News Over the course of three movies, the "Hangover" series has prided itself on shocking and gross-out moments — photos from the Wolfpack's first forgotten night, Stu's casual encounter in Bangkok. In the franchise's final chapter, in theaters Thursday (May 23), one of the sickest moments is significantly more innocent than the examples from previous installments, but it packs a punch nonetheless. In a cameo appearance, Oscar nominee Melissa McCarthy has an intimate moment with Zach Galifianakis' Alan in a Las Vegas pawn shop, and from there, things get real. "I didn't know Melissa, and we had just met kind of met that day," Galifianakis said when MTV News spoke with him in Las Vegas. "Sometimes you get lucky enough to have clicked with another actor or actress, and we just, I don't know, felt like we had known each other for a long time. That helped." The connection must have at least helped during the scene, which has Alan taking the lollipop from his mouth and seductively placing it into McCarthy's, in order to get the information he needs about the location of Mr. Chow. Galifianakis' co-star, Bradley Cooper, agreed that McCarthy brought something special to the set. "There's something about [McCarthy] and John Goodman especially," he said. "They come on set and bring an energy. It's amazing because there's a set structure and a set energy with the three of us, but Melissa would come on, and as an actress, she's just cool, unflappable energy. She set the tone actually. She really is a very powerful performer." Check out everything we've got on "Hangover." Related Videos MTV Rough Cut: 'The Hangover Part III'
