New Video: Trey Songz- Heart Attack (Teaser) (Starring Kelly Rowland)
Trey Songz gives us a teaser for his upcoming video ‘Heart Attack’ which premieres on 106 & Park this Friday.
Sports: Rondo Suspended For Game 2
Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo has been suspended for Game 2 of an Eastern Conference quarterfinal series against the Atlanta Hawks for making contact with a game official, NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson announced Monday.
Rondo chest-bumped referee Marc Davis with 41 seconds remaining in Sunday's 83-74 Game 1 loss at Philips Arena, earning his second technical and automatic ejection. Rondo, who earned both technicals while vehemently protesting a foul call against teammate Brandon Bass, said after the game that the bump was unintentional, but the league apparently viewed it as otherwise.
This is Rondo's second referee-related suspension in three months. He was also suspended for two games in February after zipping a ball at an official.
The NBA rulebook states, "Any player or coach guilty of intentional physical contact with an official shall automatically be suspended without pay for one game. A fine and/or longer period of suspension will result if circumstances so dictate."
Appearing on ESPN Radio's "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" on Monday, NBA commissioner David Stern said, "We have a hard and fast rule. Unless somebody trips you and sends you into him, nobody touches a referee. That's the proposition."
"Obviously, from a competitive standpoint we are disappointed with the league's decision to suspend Rondo," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said following announcement of the suspension. "He plays a valuable part in our team's success. We accept the punishment and will use it as a learning tool for our players."
Despite Rondo's suspension, Rivers said earlier in the day that he wouldn't be tempted to rush ailing shooting guard Ray Allen back into the lineup for Game 2.
Allen sat out Game 1 due to lingering pain with a right ankle that will require surgery after the season to remove bone spurs. Rivers had dubbed Allen at "50/50" before Sunday's game, but he was unable to go. Allen was back on the floor getting up shots as the team prepared to practice Monday afternoon, but Rivers suggested he didn't think Allen would be ready for Game 2.
"If Ray is not ready, he's not ready," said Rivers. "One thing I don't do -- I'll never do it, and maybe I'm wrong in it -- I don't ever put a guy out if he isn't ready. I just won't put him on the floor. If Ray told me he could play and [team trainer] Eddie [Lacerte] said he didn't think he could play, Ray would not play. That's just the way it is. [Allen] said he felt a little better, but I don't see it right now."
Allen sat out the final nine games of the regular season (and 15 of the final 19 overall) due to the ankle issue (he has received multiple cortisone shots trying to reduce the pain). Allen said Sunday that he doesn't want to be a liability when he's on the floor and will wait until his ankle is healthy enough to allow him to compete at playoff intensity.
Entertainment: Tyga Criticized for Using Trayvon Martin as Punchline
Many people have expressed their outrage over Tyga name dropping Trayvon Martin in his song "Designer". It's routine for rappers to drop names of other individuals just to make a line rhyme or to provide a punchline for a particular line. Tyga used this common rapping tactic, but he's been receiving heat for his usage of Trayvon Martin's name. The Trayvon line goes like this:
I got that gold thang. Make these b*tches scream/Make these p*ssies pop/Killin' n*ggas for no reason - Trayvon."
Now he didn't actually say anything negative about Trayvon; in fact he acknowledged that Trayvon was killed for no reason in that line. The problems lies with Tyga's use of Trayvon's name in general.
Many people feel offended because his death is so recent and still such a touchy subject and feel that there was no reason for Tyga to use it in a song.
He followed up Trayvon's name drop with a Zimmerman name drop, where Tyga officially disses Zimmerman for showing what he believes is a photoshopped picture of the back of his head - imposing the images of cuts on the back of his head to make it look like Trayvon beat Zimmerman before he shot Trayvon.
"This that Zimmerman, that drop head, they photoshopped."
Regardless of Tyga's intentions for dropping Trayvon's name, maybe it would be best for him and other fellow rappers to stay away from the temptation to drop Trayvon's name in their own songs.

Entertainment: 'Khloe x Lamar' Pull The Plug
Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian have decided to pull the plug on their spin-off show “Khloe & Lamar.”
Sources tell TMZ, the show’s second season will be its last … because Lamar wants to focus on reviving his fizzling NBA career.
As we previously reported, Lamar was relegated to the Dallas Mavericks’ inactive list after putting up career low numbers this season. If he’s lucky, he’ll be traded. If not, who knows …
But we’re told Lamar is determined to make a comeback — and he feels he should focus on only one project. Lamar will be living in L.A. full-time and he’s hired trainers to help him get his game back. According to sources, Khloe and Lamar WILL make occasional appearances on the reality mother ship,”Keeping Up with the Kardashians” — but that’s it. No mas.

News: Lakers' Jordan Hill Charged With Assault
An allegation of extreme violence is reportedly circling one member of the Los Angeles Lakers.
TMZ.com reported Monday that Lakers forward Jordan Hill has been charged with felony assault for an incident that took place in Texas in February.
Los Angeles Lakers big man Jordan Hill has just been charged with felony assault for allegedly choking a family member during an altercation in Texas earlier this year … TMZ has learned.
The charge was filed by the Harris County District Attorney in Houston. It’s unclear who Hill is accused of attacking. The alleged incident took place on February 29. If convicted, Hill faces up to 10 years in prison.
Hill was acquired by the Lakers from the Houston Rockets in exchange for guard Derek Fisher and a first round pick back in March.
Hill, 24, is in his third NBA season after being selected as a lottery pick in the 2009 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks. He’s posted season averages of 5.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 2011-2012 and scored a season-high 14 points and grabbed a season-high 15 rebounds for the Lakers in a late-April win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Lakers won Game 1 of their Western Conference first round playoff series over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. Hill scored 10 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked two shots and shot 5-for-10 from the field in 24 minutes.
Game 2 is scheduled for Tuesday night at Staples Center.

Technology: Why is CISPA So Controversial ?
The two parts of CISPA these groups consider most offensive are a national security clause and a liability clause. The first, they say, would allow CISPA to be used in any case where national security is deemed at risk — a potentially broad category. The second would protect any business that shares cybersecurity information from lawsuits — including suits from users who think their private information may have been shared without justification.
That’s not so great. How’d this bill pass the House?
CISPA’s authors, Reps. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), worked with civil liberties groups and companies such as Facebook and Microsoft to try to address everybody’s concerns with their cybersecurity legislation. That means a lot of stakeholders were included in the bill, generating strong support among private firms, cybersecurity experts and Congresspeople.
CISPA had more than 100 co-sponsors and a lot of business support before it came up to a vote — a strong sign that it was well on its way to passing.
You said CISPA was amended — so it’s fine now, right?
That depends on whom you’re asking.
Many businesses and cybersecurity experts welcome the legislation, because it allows them to team up against the Internet’s bad guys — who are coordinating to launch cyberattacks every day.
However, most privacy groups aren’t sold. One amendment that would’ve removed the national security clause while ensuring civilian oversight of data shared with the government under CISPA was blocked from debate by House leadership. Some companies that once applauded CISPA, such as Microsoft, have backed away from the bill.
Other amendments which tightened up language, restricted the type of information that can be shared with the government and gave the civilian-controlled Department of Homeland Security more oversight in the data-sharing process were debated and passed, but they didn’t go far enough to win over privacy groups’ support.
What’s next for CISPA?
CISPA’s headed to the Democrat-controlled Senate, where one of two things can happen: The Senate can vote CISPA up or down as it was passed in the House, or they can amend it further.
Privacy groups, such as the Center for Democracy and Technology, are betting the bill can be salvaged in the Senate’s amendment process. If that happens, the House and Senate would have to pass a bill that reconciles the differences between their two concepts. Should reconciliation prove successful, the bill would be sent to the White House for President Obama’s signature — when it would become law.
Other cybersecurity bills are already gaining momentum in the Senate. Those bills take a different approach, though — they set cybersecurity standards for private companies to meet instead of instituting an information-sharing system. Conservative lawmakers argue that approach represents an unnecessary and dangerous intrusion of the government into cyberspace.
Does Obama have to sign CISPA if it passes the Senate?
Not at all. President Obama’s top advisors have said they’ll recommend he veto CISPA if it doesn’t include adequate privacy protections before it reaches his desk.
Is CISPA the next SOPA?
The debate around the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, was about the balance between protecting intellectual property and preserving free speech, but CISPA is about having cybersecurity while preserving Internet users’ privacy.
Opposition to CISPA has yet to build to SOPA levels, but it’s starting to rise, especially on sites such as Reddit where the anti-SOPA community first came together. Threads advocating another SOPA-style blackout have more than one thousand comments. One anti-CISPA petition already has nearly 800,000 signatures.

Technology: GameStop to Begin Trade-in Program for Android Tablets and Smartphones
This means that iOS devices won’t be the only thing you can trade in at GameStop. This also means that along with pre-owned iPods, iPhones, and iPads, you can now purchase pre-owned Android devices. GameStop is expanding their reaches from only Games and consoles to the portable consumer electronics zone as well. The picture we have confirms that Galaxy Tab 10.1s and Nexus S are up for trade in, we also know that GameStop is going to start accepting more and more devices for trade in as well. No current stores accept these devices but it looks like GameStop is working to get these programs working in select store by summer and everywhere before holiday season 2012.

RightonU: Random Thoughts
Random Thoughts.... So I'm sitting here watching the Heat/Knicks game and I want to nominate Lebron James for an Oscar. Did he just say he has whiplash in his neck??? SMH Speaking of the NBA, they are showing old footage of Heat/Knicks games when they were hacking,elbowing, fighting and damn near killing each other. After Ron Artest( I refuse to call him anything else) elbowed James Harden I noticed nobody from the Thunder bench attempted to beat the shit out of Artest?!!?? Oh but I forgot this is the Fag oops I meant Swag generation, they don't want any scratches on their tattoos.
While I'm on this generation, let me speak my peace on this Kanye/Kim Kardashian BS. First of all any straight male who says they wouldn't hit is either lying or they haven't come out of the closet yet. Second of all WHO GIVES A SHIT??? Yeah we know she made a sex tape,made $$, became famous.... The dirty hoodrats some of yall been sweatin have done much worse but it hasn't stopped you from chasing!
Speaking of chasing, if I hear one more person say"I'm chasing this money" I'm gonna kill myself! You ever notice the people who say this usually don't have any money?
Can somebody explain the hype around Odd Future?
I was online and I heard the new Slight Work remix featuring Mase and is it me or is does he sound better than 99 percent of what's out right now??
So Cudi smashed Cassie and now Diddy mad? In the great words of Ed Lover "Cmon Son Getdafuckouttaherewitdatbullshit". The whole entertainment industry is built on passing these women/men around! Isn't this the same dude who has like 5 kids from 3 different women?
I'll end this on a more serious note, an innocent woman was killed in South Philly a few weeks ago. She was caught in the crossfire of 2 clown ass N*ggaz yeah I said it Clown Ass N*ggaz! But what really got my attention there was no march,no online protest, Al Sharpton didn't come to Philly and there wasn't a white person involved. We can't have it both ways people!

Adele: March 2012 cover girl of Vogue
On her 'loud' personality: “I am quite loud and bolshie,” she says (British slang for unruly and clamorous). “I’m a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.” Indeed. There is no doubt when Adele is in the building. The rule of thumb for protecting one’s vocal cords, she tells me, is: If people are more than an arm’s length away, you shouldn’t talk to them. “But I am like, Wah! Wah! Wah!,” she says, laughing. “It’s really bad.”
On giving up drinking last May: “Don’t like drinking anymore. I think I got it out of my system. D’yaknowhaImean?”
On her vocal troubles: “I’ve been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I’ve had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.” She flew to London the next morning to see her doctor and was diagnosed with acute laryngitis. After a couple weeks’ rest, she continued her European tour, came to America, and then her voice went again in May. “That was a hemorrhage... a burst blood vessel on my vocal cord. That healed, I did a tour, and then it happened again at my best friend’s wedding on October 1.”
On getting support through her surgery from other artists: “John Mayer had it done at the same time as I did and he really helped me be chilled out about it. Roger Daltrey’s had loads of stuff done; Steven Tyler reached out; Elton John. Lots of artists have had problems with their voices, but you don’t know about it. And they are still singing incredibly well in their 50s and 60s.”
On her six Grammy nominations: “I burst into tears when I found out. And I would love, absolutely love, to win. This record is coming to an end, and that would be the final brick on it.” [gallery=821]

What Is Mac Miller's 'Pink Slime' Project?
Pittsburgh MC remains tight-lipped on his upcoming collabo project on 'RapFix Live.'

Mac Miller isn't ready to start working on his sophomore album just yet, but he does have a few projects in the works. And though the Pittsburgh MC wouldn't give much detail when he appeared on Wednesday's episode of "RapFix Live", he did drop a clue about one of these projects.
"Everyone needs to pay attention for when the words 'pink slime' surface, just don't even worry about it right now," Mac teased while sitting on the "RFL" couch.
He wouldn't reveal whom he is working with on the "pink slime" project, but Miller did confirm that it is a collaborative effort. "I'ma just say, just keep watch — he's gonna be pissed that I'm saying this, but you're not gonna know who it is," he said.
Well, if "he's gonna be pissed," then that rules out a tag-team tape with Nicki Minaj right? Maybe it's her Young Money boss Lil Wayne; after all he did appear on Miller's on Macadelic mixtape. Then again, so did Cam'ron, Juicy J and Kendrick Lamar.
There is no release date for "pink slime," but it will come before Mac's Blue Slide Park follow-up. "As far as the album, to be honest, I haven't even thought about it yet," he said. "I need some time, man; I need to put together something. I'm releasing music, I have songs on songs on songs; I record every day."
Whom do you think Mac Miller is working with on his "pink slime" project? Tell us in the comments.

Shailene Woodley Covers ASOS June 2012
She's fresh off of a career-igniting past twelve months, and Shailene Woodley has been selected to cover of the June 2012 issue of ASOS magazine.
The 20-year-old actress looked elegant in an ASOS Denim Shirt with Rare Crochet Lace Knickers and ASOS Mixed Frame Cat-Eye Sunglasses for the Jason Nocito shot front page while opening up about topics such as her penchant for dark roles and the criticism she received over her Oscars dress.
Highlights from Miss Woodley's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to ASOS!
On not paying attention to fame and fortune:
"I don't pay any attention to all of that stuff. I never have. I know nothing about the industry, nothing about the 'business' and I intend to always be that way. There are more options coming in for me [since The Descendants], but that really doesn't affect me, because I will never do a movie I'm not passionate about. I'd rather be in a two-minute scene in a phenomenal Meryl Streep movie than the lead of an action-hero film."
On her penchant for dark roles:
"Movies are where my heart is at. I love dark roles – roles that appear scary. Not in a horror film way, but like 'Black Swan' or 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'. Films that take the audience on an emotional journey. And I would love to play Patti Smith in a film one day – I'm re-reading her autobiography, I'm obsessed with it."
On criticism of her Valentino Coutore Oscars dress:
"A lot of people didn't like it. They were like, 'she's 20, she's covering herself up, why is she doing that?' But to me it felt classy and elegant and that's what I think of when I think of the Oscars. It felt simple and elegant and it still represented who I am. Most of my clothes come through friends – this cardigan is two years old and these jeans are my friend's boyfriend's."
On what the future holds:
"I'm excited to become a bada** archer. I want to be able to shoot a small pen dot on the wall, 20 feet away. I want to be like [The Hunger Games'] Katniss."

'Dark Shadows' Sneak Peek Reveals Johnny Depp's De-Fanging Plan
New featurette is dedicated to late star of original soap, Jonathan Frid.
By John Mitchell
Johnny Depp in "Dark Shadows"

With just two weeks left until the big release of "Dark Shadows," Warner Bros. is stoking the coals of excitement with a new featurette that brings not only behind-the-scenes interviews and footage, but offers up an important new plot detail from the film.
"The legend of the vampire has been told for centuries, capturing the dark shadows of our imagination and inspiring filmmakers and actors to breathe new life into the undead," a voice-over reminds us at the top of the clip. "But there's never been a vampire like Barnabas Collins."
Depp said the idea to do the film came naturally to him and Burton, who have worked together on eight films. "I'd always been sort of attracted to horror films and things like that, even as a very young kid," Depp explains. "I said, 'Tim, we should do a vampire movie together.' "
And when Johnny Depp and Tim Burton decide to do something, it has a way of getting done.
A large part of the featurette focuses on the history of vampires in movies and reminds us that one of cinema's great vampires, Christopher Lee, is featured in "Shadows."
"One of my favorite moments I've ever been able to experience in a film was I got to hypnotize Dracula; I got to hypnotize Christopher Lee," Depp says. "He was, you know, the great Dracula."
To get into character as Barnabas Collins, Depp didn't stray far from the source material. "For Barnabas, everywhere I searched character-wise, I kept coming back to Jonathan Frid," the actor explains. "He really did something beautiful with that character on the 'Dark Shadows' series back in the '60s and early '70s."
Frid, who cameos in the film and is shown arriving at a party at Collinwood in the featurette, died earlier this month in his native Canada. The clip closes with an "In Memoriam" dedication to the classically trained actor, who maintained a close relationship with the show's fans by appearing at "Shadows" conventions and readings as recently as 2011, before his health began to decline.
The clip features some great new scenes from the film, including a fun bit where Depp's Barnabas seeks advice from Chloe Moretz's Carolyn Stoddard on "the art of courting a woman of this time," but importantly introduces a major plot twist that we wondered (all the way back in October!) whether Burton would include in his film: Barnabas' attempt to de-fang himself with the help of Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter) and become mortal again to pursue a romantic relationship with Bella Heathcote's Victoria Winters.
"If a man can become a monster, then a monster can become a man," Barnabas says in a voice-over while Dr. Hoffman surveys large blood-filled beakers and Depp sits with IV lines running from him. It's a story line carried over directly from both the original soap and its short-lived '90s remake. (Indeed, this particular story line was the focus of NBC's revival starring Ben Cross and Joanna Going.)
"By tapping into vampires, witches, ghosts, the reason they're powerful is because we all kind of experience those feelings on some level," Burton says of the film. "It's something that remains in our popular culture because it's strangely part of our everyday lives."
Just two weeks to go, "Dark Shadows" fans! Are you excited for the flick? Let us know in the comments!
Check out everything we've got on "Dark Shadows."

Usher To Preview Looking For Myself At Off-Broadway Show
Singer tells MTV News 'Fuerza Bruta' matches the 'more artistic' music on his upcoming album.
By Jocelyn Vena
Usher

This Saturday (and this Saturday only), Usher will appear in New York City's "Fuerza Bruta," an off-Broadway show where no one speaks, but the story is told through bright lights, music and dancing. In the lead role of Running Man, Usher will also use the show to preview his June album release, Looking for Myself.
Fans in the audience will likely get closer than they've ever been to the singer, as the audience stands during the performance, becoming another member of the company. With several weeks until his album release, Usher explained to MTV News at a rehearsal why he wanted to use this show to preview tracks.
"I felt like the natural elements as well as the emotion of 'Fuerza Bruta' would definitely speak or be significant to some of the stories and I guess hopefully a connection [was there]," he explained of tying this performance to his album. "When we began to explore different directions [for the performance like] maybe we use some of their music, maybe we use some of mine ... and before you knew it the idea came together. We tried it, I got on Running Man and it worked."
The show will stream his entire album, which drops June 12, and he thinks the mind-bending artistry of "Fuerza Bruta" works with the sound he's created on it. "This is more artistic of an album than I've had in history," he said. "And I felt like yeah, it would be a lot for me, but I was willing to at least try it. There were many times I had seen the show and I only hoped that I would be able to make it happen."

Sports: Tyson Chandler May Miss Game 1 With the Flu, Knicks Fear it May Spread
Tyson Chandler will be a game-time decision for Game 1 of the Knicks-Heat series on Saturday because of flu-like symptoms.
Toney Douglas also is dealing with the flu. It’s unclear if Douglas passed it to Chandler. But Grunwald doesn’t want to see any other Knicks affected.
“We’re concerned about it. We’re doing our best to try to minimize it,” Grunwald told Kay.
To that end, the Knicks have separated Chandler from his teammates. Amare Stoudemire told reporters in Miami that Chandler was wearing a surgical mask to contain his germs.
“He’s been in quarantine … but I’m sure he can handle it,” Grunwald said with a laugh.
But if Chandler can’t play, no one in the Knicks locker room will be laughing.
Chandler is the linchpin of a Knicks defense that has established itself as one of the best in the league this year.
Grunwald said the team is unsure if Chandler will play.
“He’s pretty sick,” the GM said. “We have our fingers crossed that he’ll be ready to go but as of right now we’re not sure.”

News: George Zimmerman Allowed to Keep $200,000 in Donations
The website that George Zimmerman created in order to receive donations to help pay for his defense in the trial of Trayvon Martin's death has managed to bring in over $200,000. And, it looks like he'll be able to hold on that money for the time being, Judge Lester announced.
Zimmerman had a hearing last week in which he posted bond on a $150,000 bail, but did not disclose the donations made through the website his attorney, Mark O'Mara stated.
Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda requested that Judge Lester increase bail higher than $150,000, but the request was delayed with Lester unsure if he had the authority to fulfill it. "I'm not going to make a snap decision", said Lester, who was also cautious about revealing the identities of the site's donors.
It was reported that Zimmerman spent some of that donation money on living expenses but still has a large amount of cash left. His attorney stated that Zimmerman put the money into a trust fund under his supervision until he's told the extent in which he can use it.
Up until this point, attorney Mark O'Mara was unaware of the money his client had in his possession. He didn't find out until Zimmerman asked what he should do about his Paypal accounts.
"He asked me what to do with his PayPal accounts, and I asked him what he was talking about," O'Mara told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "He said those were the accounts that had the money from the website he had. And there was about ... $204,000 that had come in to date."
It remains unclear if Zimmerman will be allowed to spend part or all of the money.

Patrick Dempsey Pulls Teen to Safety After Car Wreck
Using his on-screen instincts during a real life trauma, "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey came to the aid of a teen car cash victim this week.
According to reports, a young driver lost control of his Mustang, causing a nasty wreck that landed the vehicle in McDreamy's front yard.
After hearing the accident just a sort distance away, Patrick rushed to the scene with a crowbar in hand while then able to pry the boy from the car.
Luckily, after being checked out by medics, it was concluded that the accident victim only suffered a concussion. Kudos to Dempsey, he can be our doctor any day!

Action fans rejoiced earlier this week when The Hollywood Reporter announced that MMA fighter-turned-actor Gina Carano was in talks to join the sixth "Fast & Furious" movie. It seemed like an inspired choice for the series that saw new life after "Fast Five" impressed last year.
MTV News caught up with the breakout star while she was promoting the Blu-ray release of "Haywire," and she spoke excitedly about the prospects of joining the action series.
"We got a call about two weeks ago to do 'The Fast and the Furious 6,' " Carano said. "We're in negotiations for that, so if that goes through, that will be a really cool opportunity for me to get my feet wet on another big-budget film and be around all these different types of actors."
Carano seemed pleased at the idea of appealing to different bases of fans within the action genre, moving from the art-house appeal of "Haywire" to the mainstream explosions of "Fast & Furious."
"I'm going to go from the 'Haywire' crew to the 'Fast 6' crew, so I'm going to get a very broad range of knowledge as far as people go," she said. "It's like two different high school groups. You've got the very artistic, and then you've got the action group of athletes, like hard-core. Very different personalities there."
Carano is in negotiations to play a member of Dwayne Johnson's team in the upcoming sequel directed by "Fast Five" helmer Justin Lin. As for whether Carano has begun sizing up her soon-to-be castmates, she said that's not something she has to think about. "No, I'm pretty secure. I don't need to size anybody up. I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about giving a good performance and understanding my character. That's what I'll focus on."
The actress wouldn't say for sure how close she was to signing on, but remained optimistic about her prospects. "It will be really good for me, and I'm completely open to it," Carano said. "If negotiations go good, we'll probably start filming that."
Check out everything we've got on "Fast & Furious 6."
