			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lady Gaga lives to provoke and push the envelope. But not everyone is up for her antics. The &#8220;Americano&#8221; singer has been forced to cancel her sold-out June 3 &#8220;Born This Way Ball&#8221; show at the 52,000-seat Gelora Bung Karno stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia after Islamic hard-liners and conservative lawmakers said her sexy costumes, suggestive dance moves and &#8220;vulgar&#8221; style could corrupt the nation&#8217;s youth.</p>
<p>According to the <i>Associated Press</i>, a spokesperson for the national police said on Tuesday (May 15) that the permit for the show has been denied after religious conservatives worried that the concert could undermine the nation&#8217;s moral fiber. Some of the critics actually threatened to use physical force to prevent Gaga from getting off her plane. Though Indonesia is a secular state, it has the world&#8217;s largest population of Muslims and a small extremist fringe of religious leaders has been more vocal in recent years.</p>
<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s a vulgar singer who wears only panties and a bra when she sings and she stated she is the envoy of the devil&#8217;s child and that she will spread satanic teaching,&#8221; said Salim Alatas, the Jakarta head of hardline Islamic Defender Front (FPI), according to <i>Reuters</i>. &#8220;This is dangerous.&#8221;</p>
<p>Local police worried that they might not be able to guarantee security at the show and suggested to national police that the permit for what was to be Gaga&#8217;s biggest gig on her current Asian tour be pulled. Every seat at the Karno stadium had been sold, with half of them going in the first two hours.</p>
<p>The <i>AP</i> reported that permits for shows are typically issued three weeks before concerts in Jakarta, so it is not uncommon for tickets to be sold well ahead of receiving a final permit. Gaga&#8217;s Asian tour started last month and the Indonesian flap is not the first bump she&#8217;s faced along the road. Gigs in South Korea? were 18-and-over because conservatives in that country also raised objections over the concert&#8217;s content.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been just a few months since Justin Bieber signed Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen to his Schoolboy Records, but since then, she has certainly made her mark on the music scene. Her infectious hit single &#8220;Call Me Maybe&#8221; is currently #1 on the iTunes songs chart and #4 on <i>Billboard</i>&#8216;s Hot 100 chart and has spawned a barrage of humorous and entertaining online video parodies that have captured the attention of not only fans but Jepsen herself.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have seen a few. It&#8217;s pretty rad that people are participating and making their own versions. It makes my day to see it,&#8221; Jepsen told MTV News. &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to imagine this, even though I&#8217;m living this every day, it&#8217;s kind of hard to believe it sometimes. [I] definitely didn&#8217;t predict this.&#8221;</p>
<p>The online lip-synching parodies seem to be the latest craze, especially among college students. Sports teams from Duke, UConn, Syracuse and Southern Methodist University have all posted their own versions of the song, but it was taken to another level when the Harvard baseball team choreographed an intricate fist-pump dance while singing along to the single.</p>
<p>&#8220;I saw the fist pump, it was so cute. It was funny because every chorus, they added a new element. I was like, they really planned this out, this is so fantastic,&#8221; Jepsen said of the Harvard video. &#8220;It&#8217;s so cool that it&#8217;s sort of sparked this online thing. It&#8217;s really neat.&#8221;</p>
<p>College students aren&#8217;t the only ones obsessing over this song. Actor James Franco posted his own version of the song , and just last month, Katy Perry uploaded her own parody, featuring herself and a group of friends at a Coachella pool party.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was in London at the time I saw Katy&#8217;s version of &#8216;Call Me Maybe.&#8217; I think she was at Coachella when she shot it, which was really cool,&#8221; Jepsen said. &#8220;It was another surreal moment: Being in London was already crazy and then on top of it, to kind of see all the stars were reaching out and doing their versions as well, it was kind of like a cherry on top of the whole thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>We may have to thank Bieber for all of these videos since he is the one that started the trend. Back in February, Bieber, along with his girlfriend Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale and Big Time Rush, created his own music video, playfully singing along to the inescapable track.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have a long list of thank-yous that I owe to Justin for everything to do with my career,&#8221; Jepsen said. &#8220;He&#8217;s just kind of opened the door to the rest of the world to me.&#8221;</p>
<p><i>Which &#8220;Call Me Maybe&#8221; parody is your favorite? Let us know in the comments.</i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While his likely opponent in the fall presidential contest, Mitt Romney, dug in his heels and doubled down on his opposition to same-sex marriage, President Obama continued to earn praise from the entertainment community for his historic support of gay marriage.?&#13;  &#13; After hearing from stars including? Neil Patrick Harris, Ellen DeGeneres, &#8220;Modern Family&#8221; star Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Kim Kardashian on Wednesday, the list of well-wishers grew to include everyone from Lady Gaga to hip-hop impresario Russell Simmons, Alec Baldwin and political blogger Meghan McCain.</p>
<p>&#13;  &#13; &#8220;Obama, congratulations on being the first sitting president to support marriage equality,&#8221; tweeted Gaga. &#8220;Feels like the future, and not the past. #NoFear.&#8221;&#13; Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons simply said &#8220;thank you,&#8221; and singer Michelle Branch gave it a rousing, &#8220;YAY Obama!! #EqualityForAll.&#8221;</p>
<p>Frequent &#8220;Chelsea Lately&#8221; panelist and out comedian Ross Matthews could hardly contain his excitement, writing, &#8220;OMG, it&#8217;s official! Obama becomes 1st president to support gay marriage!!! Historic day!&#8221; Meanwhile, another out TV personality, Bravo boss and talk show host Andy Cohen, shouted, &#8220;THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT.&#8221;</p>
<p>Singer Ricky Martin offered his props as well, saying, &#8220;I applaud President @barackobama for affirming that ALL Americans should enjoy equal rights. Historic!&#8221;</p>
<p>CNN talker Piers Morgan called it, &#8220;One small step for him &#8230; one giant leap for mankind,&#8221; while comedian/actress Sandra Bernhard offered up the poetic bon mot, &#8220;Viva Obama who has just endorsed gay marriage. Right on time drop a dime blow your mind.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It Gets Better&#8221; founder and &#8220;Savage Love&#8221; columnist Dan Savage urged action on the back of Obama&#8217;s announcement, saying, &#8220;Gay people better get out there and support the president. If he loses in November, we&#8217;ll be blamed.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;30 Rock&#8221; star Alec Baldwin kept is brief with, &#8220;Obama gets it right on gay marriage. Bravo,&#8221; out blogger Perez Hilton dubbed the announcement, &#8220;better late than never&#8221; and singer Josh Groban said it was just &#8220;historic.&#8221;</p>
<p>Twitter master comedian Patton Oswalt took the opportunity to have fun with the Obama news in a series of tweets about his upcoming (fake) gay marriage. &#8220;Oh my God &#8212; Seal Team Six just broke down my front door and are forcing me to marry @stephenfry! DAMN YOU, OBAMA!!!!!!&#8221; That was followed by some more good news in the form of, &#8220;Well, I&#8217;m now married to @stephenfry. Ceremony was charming, but watching Seal Team Six fight over the bouquet was f&#8212;ing INTENSE.&#8221; Funnyman Michael Ian Black was in a joking mood as well, taunting, &#8220;Hey Obama, if you love gay marriage so much, why don&#8217;t you marry it?&#8221;</p>
<p>And in keeping with her maverick streak (not to be confused with her dad&#8217;s), political blogger Meghan McCain opined, &#8220;Even though he did it a little late under political pressure &#8212; very happy to hear the President came out in support of gay marriage.&#8221;&#13; <i>What do you think of President Obama&#8217;s support of gay marriage? Let us know in comments below.</i></p>

<p><span><b>B:</b></span> &#8230; <i>Born This Way</i> Ball! We were there when Gaga announced the name of the tour in Atlantic City, New Jersey, last year, and it has been hinted that we can expect an &#8220;electro pop opera.&#8221; She had us at &#8220;opera.&#8221;</p>
<p><span><b>C:</b></span> Castle. Mother Monster tweeted an image of the stage design for the tour, and the elaborate gothic castle has us excited.</p>
<p><span><b>D:</b></span> &#8220;Dark.&#8221; Gaga&#8217;s former creative director, Laurieann Gibson, opened up just last week about why she parted ways with the pop star, telling &#8220;ET Canada&#8221; that Gaga&#8217;s ideas &#8220;got a little dark for me creatively.&#8221;</p>
<p><span><b>E:</b></span> Elton John. The godmother to John&#8217;s adopted son, Gaga has teased a duet with the &#8220;Rocket Man&#8221; singer for her next album.</p>
<p><span><b>F:</b></span> Fernando Garibay. The musical director behind <i>Born This Way</i> told MTV News that the new album already has a title and concept.</p>
<p><span><b>G:</b></span> Gothic. Veils, brooches and lots of black: Gaga has adopted a gothic theme for her tour, but also in her fashion choices.</p>
<p><span><b>H:</b></span> &#8220;Heavy Metal Lover.&#8221; This jam has been begging for radio play; at the very least, the <i>BTW</i> cut should make it to the tour set list.</p>
<p><span><b>I:</b></span> Inez &amp; Vinoodh. The Dutch photography duo were heavily involved in the spectacle surrounding Gaga&#8217;s &#8220;Yoü and I&#8221; video, crafting awesome fashion clips after the official music video.</p>
<p><span><b>J:</b></span> Joanne. Lady Gaga&#8217;s parents recently opened this Italian trattoria, named for Gaga&#8217;s late aunt, on New York City&#8217;s Upper West Side.</p>
<p><span><b>K:</b></span> Kinney, as in Taylor Kinney. The beautiful man who played Gaga&#8217;s love interest in the &#8220;Yoü and I&#8221; video is rumored to be her real-life love interest too.</p>
<p><span><b>L:</b></span> Luc Carl. Gaga must still be on good terms with her ex-BF, because she recently tweeted a shout-out to him when he published his new book, &#8220;The Drunk Diet.&#8221;</p>
<p><span><b>M:</b></span> Monster Pit. The special enclosed space within the <i>Born This Way</i> Ball stage where lucky Monsters who line up for hours, even days, before the show will be able to take in the concerts.</p>
<p><span><b>N:</b></span> Nicola Formichetti. The singer&#8217;s new creative director will be her co-HBIC for the foreseeable future.</p>
<p><span><b>O:</b></span> Oprah. The talk-show queen is Gaga&#8217;s new BFF, pretty much. She even tapped the OWN network boss to interview her not long after they launched Gaga&#8217;s anti-bullying-focused Born This Way Foundation together.</p>
<p><span><b>P:</b></span> Piano. One of the best parts of the Monster Ball was when Gaga would slow things down, chatting with the crowd and showing off her raw talent at the piano.</p>
<p><span><b>Q:</b></span> Quinceañera. Gaga&#8217;s one-word Twitter response to a Little Monster who asked how she would celebrate her 26th birthday this year, never mind that it&#8217;s the kind of party reserved for 15-year-olds. They grow up so fast.</p>
<p><span><b>R:</b></span> Red Wine. Widely known to be Mother Monster&#8217;s alcoholic beverage of choice, alongside whiskey and beer.</p>
<p><span><b>S:</b></span> &#8220;Stuck on F&#8212;in&#8217; You.&#8221; This unreleased and unedited track was leaked by Gaga herself as a Christmas gift to her Little Monsters. She recorded the naughty song on her tour bus last go-round. Can we get another?</p>
<p><span><b>T:</b></span> Tea. Gaga&#8217;s non-alcoholic beverage of choice, about which she recently tweeted a lesson she learned: #KettlesAreForTeaNotFashion.</p>
<p><span><b>U:</b></span> Unicorns. The mythical creatures may not exist, but Gaga swoons for them, and why not? Fantasy is as important to her as reality.</p>
<p><span><b>V:</b></span> Video Music Awards. Is it too early to begin the campaign for her to blow our minds again at the 2012 VMAs? We&#8217;d even settle for Jo Calderone again.</p>
<p><span><b>W:</b></span> Wigs. Her supply is never-ending and will likely continue to fascinate us right on through her 26th year.</p>
<p><span><b>X:</b></span> &#8220;Lady Gaga X Terry Richardson.&#8221; Amazing photo book. Seriously, check it out.</p>
<p><span><b>Y:</b></span> Yuyi. Will the mermaid join Gaga on tour this year? As long as the tour bus is sea-creature-friendly.</p>
<p><span><b>Z:</b></span> Z100 Jingle Ball. In December, Gaga performed a short-but-captivating set at New York City&#8217;s Madison Square Garden that gave us a peek at what&#8217;s to come on the <i>Born This Way</i> Ball.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The music industry lost a powerful voice today. The &#8220;Queen of Disco,&#8221; Donna Summer, passed away this morning in Florida after a long battle with cancer. The five-time Grammy winner was known for her disco anthems &#8220;Last Dance,&#8221; &#8220;Hot Stuff,&#8221; &#8220;I Feel Love&#8221; and &#8220;Love to Love You Baby.&#8221; The stars took to Twitter to mourn the legendary artist&#8217;s death, including &#8220;Avengers&#8221; star Clark Gregg.</p>
<p>With lyrics reading, &#8220;When you&#8217;re laying so close to me/There&#8217;s no place I&#8217;d rather you be than with me/I love to love you, baby/Do it to me again and again,&#8221; we can understand why Gregg feels that way. With a soulful voice Summer crooned the lyrics among whispers and moans in the background to create a song that has the power to make any man blush.</p>
<p>Of course, Gregg wasn&#8217;t the only one to honor the late singer with a tweet. Countless celebrities took to Twitter to remember the actress including Ryan Seacrest, Adam Lambert and Rihanna. &#8220;In Living Color&#8221; actor Tommy Davidson sent MTV News a statement about the singer&#8217;s death. </p>
<p>&#8220;Donna Summer used disco to bring the most unlikely people together?blacks, whites &amp; everyone in between,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Donna was a role model, the consummate professional. Her guidance and inspiration will forever help me reach new heights as a performer. I cherish the days I toured with her. Love to love you, baby.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After putting to bed his feud with Madonna, it seems EDM star deadmau5 is embroiled in a new Twitter beef, this time with MTV&#8217;s own DJ Pauly D.</p>
<p>It all began when Pauly posted a link to his new music video for the track &#8220;Night of My Life.&#8221; He asked his fans, followers and Twitter in general, &#8220;So how do you like the video?&#8221; Mau5 apparently checked it out and didn&#8217;t like what he saw.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well since you asked,&#8221; deadmau5 tweeted, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t really enjoy it. it looked like it cost about $150 to make, and nothing really creative about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>For those wondering what made Mau5 so mad, the video&#8217;s concept is pretty simple and by all standards, pretty innocuous. It plays out almost like a mini-episode of Pauly&#8217;s MTV show, &#8220;The Pauly D Project,&#8221; following him from gig to gig, confetti and champagne flying everywhere. It also features some behind-the-scenes moments, including the &#8220;Jersey Shore&#8221; star hanging with his pals and meeting fans.</p>
<p>Pauly didn&#8217;t let the jab go, but did offer up a little quip to answer his fellow DJ&#8217;s dig. He tweeted, &#8220;T-Shirt $40 Jeans $120 Hair Gel $12 Being Hated On By deadmau5#Priceless.&#8221;</p>
<p>Like any good feud, it didn&#8217;t end there. Dead&#8217;s response? &#8220;hating? the f&#8212;? you clearly don&#8217;t know me enough if you thought that was &#8216;hating&#8217;. was just some friendly-ish advice.&#8221;&#13;  &#13; Things continued to escalate on Dead&#8217;s side, with him tweeting responses including, &#8220;i&#8217;ll just leave it at: &#8216;Don&#8217;t blame your failure on haters. If everyone thinks you suck, they&#8217;re not haters, they&#8217;re right.&#8217; &#8211; Daniel Tosh,&#8221; and in response to a fan, he added, &#8220;nah, i just thought it was a piece of sh&#8211;, in short. typical bottlepopping playpressing garbage im sure everyones sick of.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, now that Jersey (and quite possibly the rest of the eastern seaboard) &#8216;came at me bro&#8217; i guess its time for bed soon,&#8221; Deadmau5 added before asking where Snooki is and then resigning, &#8220;im kidding. that was a joke. sorry.&#8221;</p>
<p>With Deadmau5 seemingly over the whole thing, Pauly pondered, &#8220;Wonder If I Could Get @Deadmau5 To DJ My Birthday ?? Now That Would Be The #NightOfMyLife.&#8221;</p>
<p>As the whole beef came to an end, Pauly had a few final words before ending the battle on his end. &#8220;Maybe He Just Needs Some Cheese To Go With His Whine &#8230; #WheresMyMau5Trap,&#8221; he said, then tweeted, &#8220;Well @DeadMau5 Today Was A Pleasure , Hope U Had Fun Too , But I Got Show To Watch Tonight #PaulyDProject U Should Tune In@MTV.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kristen Stewart has been excited about &#8220;Snow White and the Huntsman.&#8221; Like, really, really excited about it. Every time MTV News has spoken to the actress about her first blockbuster movie since she starred in &#8220;The Twilight Saga,&#8221; she&#8217;s expressed how much pride she takes in Rupert Sanders&#8217; theatrical debut. So when we caught up with Stewart at &#8220;Snow White&#8217;s&#8221; junket, we had to ask if the movie met her expectations. It turns out that it did.</p>
<p> <center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:768877/cp~id%3D1685039%26vid%3D768877%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A768877" width="512" height="288" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" base="."></embed></center>
<p>&#8220;I was so excited,&#8221; she said about the opportunity to watch the film. &#8220;It&#8217;s rare when you see concept art, it&#8217;s always cooler than the movie ends up being. It&#8217;s inspiration, I suppose. That&#8217;s the way Rupert Sanders got the job as director, is kind of putting together this five-minute version of the movie and presenting the darkness and lightness of the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>As someone who got the chance to watch Sanders&#8217; concept art video at Comic-Con last year (and is a fan of his previous work with commercials), I can confirm that the visual ideas he had for the movie were breathtaking. We get a sense of that in the trailers and clips released for the film, but it&#8217;s definitely exciting to hear that Sanders&#8217; clear vision fully translated onto the big screen.</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought that it was insane because it felt like two different people did it. It was like so, so beautiful when it was light and so exuberantly happy, and then when it was dark, it was wretched, it was disgusting,&#8221; Stewart said of the concept art. &#8220;When I first saw the movie, I saw that. And I was really like, wow! Everything I wanted it to feel like, everything I wanted it to say, it&#8217;s there.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Snow White and the Huntsman&#8221; also stars Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth. It&#8217;s due in theaters on June 1.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lady Gaga kicked off her hotly awaited <i>Born This Way</i> Ball at Seoul, South Korea&#8217;s Olympic Stadium on Friday (April 27) in front of 45,000 fans, and despite protests from Christian groups saying Mother Monster was &#8220;obscene&#8221; and could &#8220;taint&#8221; young people with her performance, the concert appears to have gone on without incident.</p>
<p>Intrepid Twitter fans are already showing off pictures and video of the <i>BTW</i> Ball&#8217;s enormous Gothic castle backdrop and myriad costume changes, making it clear that Gaga has outdone even her own Monster Ball in terms of spectacle.</p>
<p>While we wait for reviews to trickle in from halfway around the world, one thing is certain: No minors were corrupted at the show. Earlier this month, the Korea Media Rating Board decided to elevate the age rating for the concert from 12 to 18, prohibiting minors from seeing the concert. When the board notified Gaga&#8217;s tour promotion company and a sponsor of the change in age restrictions, it did not offer a reason why the show ? which at the time was still in rehearsals and had not been reviewed publicly ? was considered unsuitable for children under 18.</p>
<p><center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:717952/cp~vid%3D717952%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A717952" width="430" height="242" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" base="."></embed></center>
<p>The likely catalyst for the board&#8217;s decision came more into focus as the concert neared and protests from a group of conservative Christians calling itself the Alliance for Sound Culture in Sexuality ramped up. The group covered Seoul with posters accusing Gaga of &#8220;spreading unhealthy sexual culture&#8221; through &#8220;lewd lyrics and performances.&#8221;</p>
<p>The superstar and her fans, however, were undeterred. Though she tweeted her hopes that the Korea Media Rating Board would reverse its decision (it didn&#8217;t), she continued on as planned. Many fans reportedly arrived at the show wearing versions of Gaga&#8217;s most well-known flamboyant costumes, and there have been no reports of disturbances at the concert.</p>
<p>Before the show, Gaga tweeted, &#8220;I can you hear you Korea. I&#8217;m shaking.&#8221;</p>

<p>Sacha Baron Cohen?s ?The Dictator? has invaded theaters, featuring His Excellency, the incomparable Admiral General Aladeen, in his feature film debut. </p>
<p>But the beloved Admiral General is far from the only despot to reign over the big screen throughout the years, so as a celebration of this momentous occasion in his glorious reign, we thought it might be instructive (not to mention entertaining) to take a look a back at some of filmdom?s other most feared (or mocked) tyrants. </p>
<p><big><strong>Pharaoh Rameses II</strong></big><br />A heavyweight among our lineup of autocrats, Rameses II has roots that are not just historical, but biblical to boot. But it was the screen presence of Yul Brynner that brought him to life in modern times, as the vindictive and arrogant Pharaoh in 1956?s &#8220;The Ten Commandments,&#8221; who just doesn?t know when to quit, even after Moses (Charlton Heston) tells him to ?Let my people go!?</p>
<p><big><strong>Doctor Evil</strong></big><br />Now, granted, the esteemed Doctor Evil doesn?t actually have a nation or throngs of subjects to rule over. But he does have a doctorate from Evil Medical School, absolute control over a global megacorporation, a passel of fearful lackeys eager to obey his every whim (or else get dropped into a pit of fire), and he?s come pretty close to conquering the world on a few occasions, throughout the &#8220;Austin Powers&#8221; film series. Combine all that with a management style that competes with some of the worst bosses in history, and you?ve got the makings of a tyrant that moviegoers won?t soon forget.</p>
<p><big><strong>Big Brother</strong></big><br />Big Brother. A phrase so iconic, it?s made it into our lexicon, not just as the name of a reality show, but as a synonym for absolute control over our daily lives. So who better to appear on a list of film tyrants than the original Big Brother, from the film adaptation of George Orwell?s classic novel &#8220;1984&#8243;? The movie brings to life Orwell?s warnings about totalitarianism, and as portrayed in the film by actor Bob Flag, Big Brother isn?t so much of a person, as an idea; you are being watched, and therefore you must obey. </p>
<p><big><strong>Emperor Palpatine</strong></big><br />Sometimes a tyrant doesn?t just prove their bonafides through their harsh rule, but by the means they came to power. Certainly that?s the case in the films of the Star Wars Universe, where an ambitious Senator named Palpatine secretly used his powers as a Dark Lord of the Sith to subvert democracy, lure a young Anakin Skywalker to the dark side, exterminate his opponents, and set himself up as the Galactic Emperor. In the end, as tyrants tend to do, he meets a violent end, but not before cementing his place in movie history. </p>
<p><big><strong>Adenoid Hynkel</strong></big><br />Sacha Baron Cohen isn?t the first person to have taken a look at real world dictators and decided they need to be taken down a peg or two. 1940?s &#8220;The Great Dictator,&#8221; starring screen legend Charlie Chaplin (who also wrote and directed the film), mercilessly ridicules the pompous Adenoid Hynkel, a not-so subtle parody of the real-life dictator who at that very time posed a threat to the entire world. Although the world would eventually discover the full and horrific extent of that dictator?s ambitions, Chaplin?s gutsy move to take on one of the world?s most feared men proved that comedy can be one of the greatest weapons in the fight against those who rely on unquestioning obedience.</p>
