LMFAO's Redfoo Has Michael Jackson, Darth Vader On Hologram Wish List

Redfoo also says the very busy Eddie Murphy could use a hologram so he can 'party all the time.'

A month ago none of us really had hologram dreams. But ever since Tupac was digitally resurrected at the Coachella Music Festival
 a few weeks ago, suddenly everyone has a secret roster of artists they would like to see pixelated. The Jackson brothers have said they would love to tour with a digi-Michael, there was that story about Justin Bieber possibly performing with a holo-Elvis
 and TLC have been sparking rumors that they will bring back deceased member Left Eye
 for a massive reunion tour this year.

And when we asked music fans
 in New York's Times Square who they would like to see on stage again, their answers ranged from the Notorious B.I.G. and Nate Dogg to Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse and John Lennon. But it was LMFAO's Redfoo who had the most eclectic and wide-ranging roster of holograms he'd like to party rock next to.

"I wanna bring Michael Jackson, Charlie Chaplin, Darth Vader, Eddie Murphy," he said, noting that the latter comedian isn't even dead, but is just so busy with movies he could use some holographic help.

"So let's just get a hologram," he suggested to Murphy. "Do your thing over there, but just give us a hologram so we can party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiimeee!"

Alienware's new gaming laptops get Ivy Bridge processors

Alienware is crossing the Ivy Bridge, less than a week since announcing its refreshed family of gaming laptops. Intel's latest hardware will now lend itself to all three models, the M14x (from $1100) M17x (starting at $1500) and M18x (from $2000), replacing the existing Sandy Bridge architecture in the models we saw earlier this month. Starting with the smallest, the M14x will be powered by an Intel Core i7-3820QM (up to 2.7GHz), while larger models will get their processors nudged up to the 2.9 GHz Core i7-3920XM (M17x) and 2.9GHz Core i7-3920XM (M18x). Alienware reckons these new additions will lend a 15 percent increase to the rigs' performance (depending on use), augmenting improvements seen with new PCI Express 3.0 support, mSATA cached storage and the latest generation of NVIDIA graphics. Dell's now ready to take your order -- alongside a mind-boggling number of customization options -- at the source link below.

Gina Carano Ready To Get Her 'Feet Wet' In 'Fast & Furious 6'

'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,' she tells MTV News.

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."

Gripevine?s Dave Carroll Tackles Customer Service Resolution After United Broke His Guitar

Screen shot 2012-04-27 at 3.36.05 PMIt's an interesting story. One day, Dave Carroll was taking a flight with his band-mates on United Airlines. When he landed at his destination, he noticed that United staff were throwing his $3,500 Taylor guitar around, and ultimately, damaging it pretty badly. When United did nothing to help, Carroll took matters into his own hands with the help of a little video sharing site called YouTube. His music video, "United Breaks Guitars," took off like a rocket, and after realizing the power of social media, he joined up with his other co-founders to build Gripevine.
