The "Worst Twerk Fail EVER" viral video was a prank. Thanks, Jimmy Kimmel (ABC).

Jimmy Kimmel Stages "Twerk Fail"

In perhaps one of the greatest hoaxes of all time, Jimmy Kimmel admitted to staging the "Worst Twerk Fail EVER" video that went viral on YouTube recently. You know, the one where the girl tries to twerk on a door, the door opens, she falls onto a bunch of candles, and instantly is set on fire? Well, it's a prank. That girl is a stunt woman. Check the full excerpt from Kimmel's show below, in which he brings the girl in for an interview and reveals to the world that it was all a joke. Had he never admitted it, we would never have known the video is a hoax. The conspiracy theorists were right. Oh, the trust issues...

"Harry Potter" Is Getting A Spinoff

J.K. Rowling and Warner Brothers aren't done doing business just yet. Still on a high off of the "Harry Potter" franchise's success, Warner Bros. reached a deal with Rowling yesterday for distribution rights to a television mini-series, new films, and more theme park attractions. She will serve as screenwriter for her book, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." The film adaptation expands on the world of wizards. "Harry Potter" fans don't have to give up the fandom quite yet!

Gucci Mane Has Twitter Drama

A couple days ago, Gucci Mane's Twitter followers were spammed with crazed tweets sent from the rapper's account. Tweet after tweet bashed other people in the music industy, including his former manager, T.I., his wife Tiny, Tyga, Iggy Azalea, and Nicki Minaj. Gucci Mane claimed he had sexual relations with Nicki Minaj and was willing to sell some scandalous pictures for $1,000,000. In response, Nicki Minaj tweeted some fighting words of her own, insisting she never slept with the man she calls a "crackhead" and an "animal." The tweets from both sides have since been deleted, and Gucci Mane has come forward to say his Twitter account was hacked by none other than a former manager. He then deleted his Twitter account shortly thereafter.

Miley Cyrus Drops "Wrecking Ball" Video

Yes, she's still making news. Miley Cyrus released the music video to her single "Wrecking Ball," which will be on her next album "Bangerz." It essentially features the 20-year-old naked on a huge wrecking ball, writhing on a bed of stones, and crying during a close-up (view it for yourself below). The video recieved a lot of negative attention for its sexual innuendos and overall inappropriateness, prompting Miley to lash back at her haters for not seeing past her nudity and sexual nature. She insists the video had a deeper meaning to it. In the midst of all the controversy, her father spoke out in favor of his daughter's antics. Neon Tommy's story on Billy Ray Cyrus' reaction can be foundhere.
