Zac Efron's Bayou State Playground Sweat Session

Making the most of a short break from ongoing filming efforts, Zac Efron used his ingenuity to construct a workout using park playground equipment in Mandeville, Louisiana on Tuesday afternoon (August 2).

The former "High School Musical" heartthrob continued to build his sturdy frame as he employed bungee-style straps while running through a series of exercises during the Bayou State sweat session.

As for being situated in the southeastern U.S. locale, Efron is in the midst of shooting a brand new Lee Daniels directed film called "The Paperboy".

Also starring Nicole Kidman and Matthew McConaughey, the thriller is about "a reporter who returns to his Florida hometown to investigate a case involving a death row inmate."

Beyonce's 'Best Thing I Never Had' Video Premieres

Anyone who's heard the two first singles off Beyoncé's new album, 4, knows they are about as different as night and day. The same can be said for the songs' music videos: Where "Run the World (Girls)" is fierce, upbeat and explosive, "Best Thing I Never Had" is also strong, but more subdued and slow.

The clip opens with Beyoncé in an elegant dressing room or boudoir. She is scantily, but very tastefully, clad in a fancy, lacy corset/lingerie combo, complete with garters. As she begins the song — co-written by Babyface and all about telling a former lover she was the best he'd ever have and that she no longer has any feelings for him — B plays to the camera, directing her words at the former lover via the camera's lens.

From there, she moves from playing with a tiara, a veil and lots of tulle on a bed to various stages of getting dressed. Between her half-dressed and fully dressed stages, there is a quick cut to old video footage of who viewers are to believe is a young Beyoncé and her former high school flame at their prom. B and her date are dancing, she is spun away briefly, and her date cozies up to another girl on the dance floor.

Now that we know what ended that romance, we follow a confident Beyoncé in her final preparations before she walks down the aisle on her wedding day. There are shots of Bey singing at sunset atop a grassy hill in a beautiful princess gown, followed by the walk down the aisle and the exchange of vows.

This is followed by one final shot of the former lover at the prom deep in thought, with what looks to be his prom king crown sitting askew on his head. Perhaps he is re-thinking his philandering ways?

The last few scenes of "Best Thing I Never Had" are full of more shots of Beyoncé's gorgeous dress, which will likely land on a few style blogs soon, given its embroidered and jeweled details, not to mention the silk bows and ruching on the sides. We see the newlyweds celebrating at a happy and well-attended reception: groom removing bride's garter with his teeth, dancing with their younger family members.

The final shot features Beyoncé looking into the camera, with a look of total satisfaction and happiness. She then walks off confidently, probably to re-join her wedding party and new husband, and then the screen fades to black.

Ashley Hebert Picks Her Man on "The Bachelorette" Finale

Bringing an end to another emotionally-charged roller coaster of a season, Ashley Hebert was forced to make her final decision during Monday night's climatic episode of "The Bachelorette".

Situated on the scenic island of Fiji, the 26-year-old Maine native had whittled the field of 25 potential partners down to two, with J.P. Rosenbaum and Ben Flajnik being the last men standing.

After turning down a heartbroken Flajnik's proposal, Miss Hebert welcomed Rosenbaum, who said to her, "All the time we've spent together, it's been the happiest time of my life. And you always say to me you're smiling all the time, you're going to have wrinkles when you're older. Well, I smile because of you. You bring that out. What I do know for absolute certain is that I am madly in love with you. I love everything about you."

With Ashley and J.P. then sharing a passionate kiss, Hebert said, "Today is the reason why I went through all the good times and the bad times, and I've been wanting to tell you how much I loved you for so long now. You mean the world to me and I do not want to be with anyone else forever."

Clearly overjoyed after being chosen as this season's winner, Rosenbaum, who's a 34-year-old construction manager, got down on one knee while saying, "I'm so in love with you. You're the one. You're it. Ashley, will you marry me?"

"Yes!" an overwhelmingly elated Hebert answered as a Neil Lane engagement ring was placed onto her finger as the couple once again embraced during a show-ending smooch that they'll surely treasure for years to come.

Ke$ha Touched By Fan's Tattoo

Ke$ha knows all about the perks of being a headliner. On her Get $leazy Tour, the singer gets to call all the shots, blast her fans in the face with tons of glitter and handpick which dudes she wants to party and share the stage with.

But it's not all backstage shenanigans and groupie love. When MTV News sat down with the "Blow" singer in New York earlier this week before her gig at Roseland Ballroom, Ke$ha said that amid the nightly onstage parties there have also been some poignant moments on her first headlining outing.

"Best moment? There are so many. Every night's amazing. I have kids outside right now chanting my name and it's awesome," she said of the first leg of the tour. "There was one night a fan came onstage, I invited him onstage, and he had a tattoo of the dollar sign. I was like, 'Oh, that's awesome! Badass. You're part of the cult, man.' "

And then, she said, he began to cry and explained that he was able to come out of the closet to his friends and family thanks to her song "Animal."

"And I'm standing onstage about to sing a song about growing back a pair of testicles ["Grow a Pear"] and I had tears rolling down my face and chills all over my body," she said. "Because that's really the reason I do music, to inspire people to be themselves."

Ke$ha has been a vocal supporter of the "It Gets Better" video project, which aims to help gay, bisexual and transgender youth find hope in the face of teasing and bullying.

The "Get $leazy" juggernaut continues on Saturday night with a show at Clarion University in Clarion, Pennsylvania.

Usher Rings In MTV's 30th Anniversary

Helping to mark the special occasion, Usher rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange this morning (August 1) as a way to commemorate MTV's 30th anniversary.

The super-hunky "Let it Burn" singer sported a gray button down, blue sweater, and gray slacks as he joined alongside network exec Stephen Friedman to pose for pictures as well as to partake in other celebratory activities.

Back on August 1, 1981, the famed music channel took to the airwaves with the aptly named clip "Video Killed the Radio Star."

Usher first rose to fame during the '90s with hits "My way," "You Remind Me" and "U Got It bad," and continues to tear up various MTV countdowns today with "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" and more.

Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj And Ke$ha 'Till The World Ends' Remix Leaks

Britney Spears isn't the only pop titan dancing until the world ends: Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha have joined forces to add a new spin on an all-female remix of Femme Fatale's second single, "Till the World Ends."

The reworked dance anthem, which leaked online Friday (April 22), appears to have surfaced earlier than expected as noted by a series of countdowns on all three of the stars' websites.

Mixing the dance tune's original sonic swirls with heavier bass, Britney tourmate Minaj starts off the remix by throwing down an aggressive verse, in which she calls out a female hater: "A-A-A-A-A-AYE!/ Chimpanzees is hatin', but I take it all in stride/ Put her in a jungle with bananas on the side/ Told you they'd revive your career, but somebody lied/ I ain't talkin' poultry when I say this chicken's fried."

After Minaj spits a few introductory bars, Spears delivers the song's first verse before an introduction for the all-star trio. "It's Britney, bitch. I'm Nicki Minaj and that's Ke$ha!" the Young Money MC proclaims.

Ke$ha, who originally wrote the track for the pop princess, takes part in singing the club-ready track's chorus. Spears soon takes back control of the song as Ke$ha shadows the singer's lines toward the end of the second verse and bridge. Unlike the original version, the "Till the World Ends" remix also features a stuttering dubstep dance break.

News of a star-studded collaboration was hinted earlier this week when producer Dr. Luke tweeted, "@NICKIMINAJ killed it tonight!!!! thanks!!!"
