Attention, Carrie Underwood fans! The 32-year-old Grammy winner released new music today, debuting her third single, "Renegrade Runaway," from her forthcoming studio album Storyteller, which is expected to debut on Oct. 23. "New music alert! You can download Track 1 from #Storyteller if you pre-order now! #RenegadeRunaway http://smarturl.it/custoryteller -TeamCU," the country crooner's team posted on Twitter on Friday. In typical Underwood fashion, the single is a catchy, powerful song with killer lyrics, and we predict it may just be your few favorite tune to belt out in the car. "Renegade...

Adding to our Wednesday feature LatinoBuzz, Christine Davila, Sundance programmer is contributing Chicana from Chicago, her take on the Latino scene. Here is our first outing:
Diverse Voices, Universal Content
Runaway Renegade
Described as the largest gathering of Latinos working in media in the U.S., the 13thannual National Association of Latino Independent Producers (Nalip) Conference presented by Time Warner, most actively by way of HBO Latino and NBC Universal, and The National Latino Media Council, took place this weekend at the model tourist convention hub, Universal City Sheraton. Nalip finds itself in a bit of a transition following Kathryn Galan’s departure as Executive Director who spent almost eleven years at the organization shaping it into what it is today. The search is still on for a replacement but guiding the transition as Interim Director is the affable Beni Matias who started with Nalip from its inception. A couple of the board members are new, including Rosa Alonso, founder of My Latino Voicewho will lend her digital marketing expertise to the organization. These high level leadership changes can potentially bring about a revitalized and evolving mission to Nalip’s growing legacy. Covering the conference for Latin Heat Online Magazine, I greatly enjoyed the ability to observe and take part with an inquisitive gonzo-like spirit. Indeed I’d be remiss if I did not approach the significant Latino organization with an on-the-ground, critical eye, especially now while it is in a very ‘review mode’ on how to continue to stay relevant. Its crucial to recognize its monumental formation and landmark achievements. Equally as crucial is to identify how to pragmatically further the conversation it began thirteen years ago about Us Latino representation in front and behind the camera. Most important is to distill the relevant but sometimes incongruent messaging – for instance, the Robert Rodriguez keynote illustrated a polar opposite way of thinking to that of Ron Meyer’s keynote (Do we want to Break Out or Break In to the mainstream?), which makes for an intriguing forum of deeper discussion.
New Works/New Voices: A Storyteller's Journey panel with Tamir Muhammad, Tribeca Film Institute, Shari Frilot, Sundance Film Festival, Gun Hill Road filmmaker Rashaad Ernesto Green moderated by Luis Castro, HBO
Lovely RRRRRRita - recipient of Nalip's Lifetime Achievement Award and exclusive Egot (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) club member
What to expect from Chicana from Chicago’s multi-part Nalip coverage? A couple of case-studies/interviews with Rashaad Ernesto Green who epitomizes the Diy mentality which made his feature debut, Gun Hill Road a unique success story, the filmmaker Michael D. Olmos and his star, Gina Rodriguez ofFilly Brown who embody the Us Latino pop culture flavor.
I’d like to recognize the influential Gatekeepers at non-profit, artistic development institutions responsible for introducing the most fresh, diverse and underrepresented voices to audiences, like Shari Frilot, Senior Programmer at Sundance Film Festival, Tamir Muhammad, Director of Feature Programming at Tribeca Film Institute and Richard Ray Perez who is the newest and welcome U.S. Latino staff addition at Sundance Institute’s Documentary Feature Program. I’m also most excited to give you a heads up on fresh new film and multi-media projects in the works, and I’ll make sure to dish on the fancy Awards Gala.
I found the theme of Nalip 2012’s, “Diverse Voices, Universal Content” sounding futuristic and empowering, yet initially too broadly defined and perfunctory. I strongly feel that the more focus we can bring to next year’s themes, the better we’ll be able to advance conversation. That said, I’ve identified a few key points that were strong merits of this year’s Nalip, and an excellent way to frame and contextualize what was really being said:
Training our content producers and artists, to not only compete but to raise the bar and expectations in every industry. Advocate and encourage our friends of color and diversity in all professions, in particular policy-making fields, towards becoming ‘Decision Makers” The need to vocally and financially support ‘our own content’, as peers but especially obligate those in a position of power who represent us and utilize our fan-dom (Robert Rodriguez with his new El Rey network) Networking and sharing with peers, and takeaway the hard lessons learned by our elders, those who first paved in-roads into mainstreams, like Rita Moreno and Jerry Velasco, recipients of this year’s Lifetime Achievement Awards. Developing our individual and personal voices with which we distinguish our mestizo identity while simultaneously relating the universal the power of storytelling
Overall, I found Nalip an absolutely positive and celebratory environment. . I’m happy to share my thoughts but I would love and need to hear from You. I invite you to engage and kindly ask you to share your comments and observations from this year’s Nalip, and in general the landscape of Us Latino representation in media as you’ve experienced it.

We're hoping for a Beyoncé sighting and some NY-centric rap cameos for Hov's first-ever concert at the famed venue tonight.

Jay-z has seen it all and done it all — or so we thought. Just when it looked like there was no new ground for Hov to cover, the multiplatinum rap superstar announced he would be performing a pair of shows at New York's famed Carnegie Hall.
For the first time ever, Jay will hit the Carnegie Hall stage on Monday night (February 6), followed by a second show on Tuesday, and it's all for a good cause. Proceeds from the privately sold premium-priced tickets will go to Jigga's Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation and the United Way in an effort to put low-income New York City students in a position to attend college.

The past 12 months have seen the release of monster albums from Adele, Lady Gaga, Drake, Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj.
But the next 12 are promising to bring even more music from several of those artists, plus new albums from Mumford & Sons, Rick Ross, Jay-z, Linkin Park, Paramore, Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5 and Green Day.
It's a bumper crop of major albums from some of rock, pop and hip-hop's biggest stars, who are returning from long breaks, hoping to follow up smash debuts or just trying to keep their momentum going.
While release dates are always subject to change, here are some of the most anticipated releases of 2012.

When Chris Daughtry was working on Break the Spell, the follow-up to his band's mega Leave This Town album, he couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu — especially when it came to "Crawling Back to You," one of two singles he's dropped in the weeks leading up to Spell's release. Mostly because, well, he'd heard the song a time or two before.
"It didn't make Leave This Town, and a lot of times, after being away from the songs for a good amount of time, you either go back and go, 'Ok, there's a reason that didn't make the record; it's junk,' or you go, 'Man, there's something really cool about that song, but it's not quite there yet,...

Band promises churning new track will be available online 'soon,' at 15th anniversary concert in NYC.

Paramore's Hayley Williams performs at the Fueled by Ramen 15th anniversary concert

During Wednesday night's Fueled by Ramen 15th anniversary concert, Paramore pulled the curtain back on a brand-new song, "Renegade," and promised that fans will be able to hear a full studio version very soon.
The new song — recorded along with their roaring single "Monster" back in March with producer Rob Cavallo — is a churning, spiky thing, full of roiling bass and guitars, and seems to bridge the gap between the band's punky Riot! past and the more plaintive expanses of 2009's Brand New Eyes. Paramore have been using a recorded version of the brand-new track as their intro music during their recent run of Warped Tour dates. Now, as frontwoman Hayley Williams promised the crowd at...

Ludacris is a marquee hip-hop artist but he has no problem lending aspiring rappers a hand.
On Monday, the Atlanta-based Mc/actor was at New York City's Highline Ballroom for the Magnum-sponsored Live Large Project 2, a hip-hop/freestyle competition that gives contestants a shot at a cash prize and the chance to perform alongside Luda at Springfest 2011 in Miami.
It's the second year Luda has participated in the event, and the Disturbing Tha Peace Records founder said it always makes him remember his days as a hungry unknown.
"I remember being an aspiring artist and up-and-coming rapper and wishing I had opportunities like the one that Magnum Live Large Project is giving out — $5,000, a trip to Miami,...

Two weeks ago, MTV News crowned Kanye West as the 2010 Man of the Year. However, a lot of extremely vocal fans thought that the individual picked for the number two position — rapper Eminem — should have been in first place by miles. There is an excellent case to be made for Slim Shady, as he had a tremendously successful year that saw him drop one of his most critically-acclaimed and commercially successful albums of his career (Recovery is on track to be the best-selling album of 2010), top the charts twice with two killer singles ("Not Afriad" and the Rihanna-assisted "Love the Way You Lie"), co-headline the biggest concerts of the year (the extremely well-received Home and Home shows with Jay-z) and re-ignite the debate over whether or not he is the greatest rapper of all time (an argument that will continue ad infinitum).

Stephen J Cannell, the creator of such iconic television shows as "The A-Team," "21 Jump Street," "The Rockford Files," "Silk Stalkings," "Renegade," "The Commish" and "The Greatest American Hero," has died. He was 69 years old. Cannell's family tells Entertainment Tonight that "Cannell passed away at his home in Pasadena on Thursday evening due to complications associated with melanoma. He was surrounded by his family and loved ones." They continued: "Aside from being a legendary television producer and prolific writer, Stephen was also a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, and a loyal friend. Mr. Cannell is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of 46 years, Marcia, their three children, Tawnia, Chelsea and Cody and three grandchildren. Stephen was the pillar of strength within his family and he touched everyone he met. He will be most deeply missed." The prolific Emmy-winning producer was also the author of 16 novels.

There's no question that Jay-z and Eminem's Home and Home Tour stops in Detroit were two of the biggest events the city's hip-hop community has ever seen.
On the final night, Em and Hov fans recounted an unforgettable show to MTV News, in which rap titans like Dr. Dre and 50 Cent joined Shady and Jigga on the Comerica Park stage.
Although she "loves Eminem," one D-Town fan gave Hov's set the biggest props. "It had to be Jigga. Coming from underneath, giving a shout-out to [Michael Jackson], it was Jigga," she said.
Another concertgoer said witnessing the hip-hop heavyweights rip up the stage with one of their classic collabos was her favorite moment of the night.

No spoilers here. We have no advance knowledge of what you are about to read. But with the Eminem and Jay-z stadium concerts launching this Thursday at Detroit's Comerica Park, followed by their appearance September 12-13 at Yankee Stadium, we here at MTV News have started our speculation about who the two titans might bring onstage with them. Let's face it, with Jay-z, you're bound to see anybody. He doesn't just bring out people with whom he's recorded songs. Hov has been known to bring out superstars who just happen to have a hot record at the time and let them rock with their own mini-set.
Eminem is a little different. His track record shows that he mostly sticks to family at his concerts.

It has been so hectic in the MTV Newsroom this week that we almost forgot that it was Friday afternoon and time to look back on the last five days. But can you blame us for losing track of time? MTV News has been all over the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con (you can follow all the latest developments all weekend at MTV Movies Blog and at Splash Page) and spent time with the likes of Travis Barker, Travie McCoy and the Boss himself, Rick Ross.
In addition to all that live-streaming goodness, we've also been covering Lindsay Lohan's incarceration, Eminem's rise up the Billboard Hot 100 and the continued anticipation over Katy Perry's new album. So before you head out to see Paramore on the Honda Civic Tour (which launches this weekend) or check out "Inception" for the third time, take a look at all the goodness you might have...

From the quotable "Clueless" to the hard-bitten "8 Mile," Brittany Murphy has left behind a legacy of remarkable onscreen roles. But before her sudden death on Sunday, the 32-year-old actress also completed work on several films and was getting set to begin another in January. Not much is known about these low-profile projects, so MTV News got in touch with various producers and reps connected to the films to figure out their status and when audiences might have the chance to see the actress at work in the future.
"Abandoned"
Before her passing, Murphy completed work on this psychological thriller in which she plays a woman with a history of psychiatric issues who accompanies her boyfriend (Dean Cain) to the hospital for surgery, only to have him disappear without a trace.
