MTV Will Try To Break Guinness Record For Most Live Concerts With O Music Awards
You've probably heard the complaint that MTV has forgotten its music video roots and spends too much time on reality television. Heck, you may have said something similar yourself. Well, for its third O Music Awards (an "event that celebrates and honors the artists, fans and innovators impacting digital music culture"), MTV combining elements of both ? it's an awards show, a concert (actually multiple concerts), and a reality TV show about a band hitting the road. The previous O Music Awards were held Las Vegas West Hollywood, but this time the show is actually going to be on the road. A yet-to-be-named band will be touring the Mississippi Delta, birthplace of rock, and stop in eight different cities, with the award presentations interspersed. One of the goals is to set a new Guinness World Record for Most Live Concerts in 24 Hours (Multiple Cities) ? apparently setting new records is something MTV tries with every show, but this time it's really baked into the basic concept. And naturally, all of this will be livestreamed.rutgers dharun ravi george clooney arrested ravi leigh espn greg oden

Samsung Galaxy S III US sign-up page goes live
So enthused with the Galaxy S III that you want to know exactly when in the summer Americans can buy one? You can follow us, of course, but Samsung has you covered with a sign-up page that will take your vitals with promises that you'll "get the latest on the Next Galaxy." We wouldn't read too much into seeing AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and others in the list of carriers to choose from, though. Samsung has run identical sign-up campaigns in the US before, and it focused the initial Galaxy S II launch on three major carriers rather than carpet bombing every network at once.
[Thanks, Michael]

Benedict Cumberbatch Flattered By Racy 'Sherlock' Fanfic
'I was amazed at the level of artistry; people have spent hours doing it,' British actor tells MTV News.

British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is so hot right now. He is almost literally in everything, including last year's awards-season favorites "War Horse" and "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," the hit BBC/PBS revival of "Sherlock" and two highly anticipated future blockbusters "Star Trek 2" and "The Hobbit."
Cumberbatch fans should be excited to see him reprise his role as the quirky and slightly sociopathic Sherlock Holmes when the second season premieres this Sunday (May 6) on PBS's Masterpiece. MTV News recently caught up with the very busy and talented actor, who attributes the show's success to its "extraordinary" and "very intelligent, very loyal" fans and promised that they won't be disappointed with the action that unfolds in the second season.
Speaking of those intelligent fans, we asked Cumberbatch if he was aware of the extensive collection of creative and explicit fan fiction that has surfaced online since the premiere of the show's first season.
"I am startlingly aware of it," Cumberbatch said with a smile. "I don't go seeking it, but Martin Freeman, who was an absolute luddite on the first series, suddenly came back from New Zealand having done a little radio short drama called "The Hobbit," he came back and he had this beautiful Mac [computer] with him and said 'Hey, look at this Tumblr.' And I said, 'What? Tumblr? What?' He knows more about it than I do and he was showing me some of them. Some of it is really racy, un-viewable even on MTV. It's cool."
The charming Brit went on to say that he is flattered by a few of the depictions he's come across and that he's amazed how much time some fans have put into their work.
"I suppose my bodily proportions are quite flattering. I'm ripped, doing something I wouldn't normally do with my body, or having done to it, involving Watson," he said cheekily. "So that's as far as I'll hit about that one, but it's all there on the Web if you want to find it. I was amazed at the level of artistry; people have spent hours doing it. And there's some really weird cross breeding stuff that goes on. The news got out that I was playing Smaug in 'Hobbit' and suddenly there were lots of dragons with purple scarves flying around so it's crazy, it's crazy."
Check out everything we've got on "The Hobbit."
