<P>From young love to established romantic empires, 2011 was all about PDA. Some of La La Land's most A-list couples weren't shy about flaunting the love they share. From musicians to actors to everyone in between, the last 12 months were all about sharing the love. As the year winds down, MTV News is reflecting on some of our favorite couples of the year. </P><P> </P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Britney Spears' 'Criminal': Frame By Frame" id="vid:703500" width="240" height="211"></div><p> </P><P> </P><P><big><b>Britney Spears and Jason Trawick</b></big><br> </P><P>The couple walked red carpets, gave each other shout-outs at <a href="/news/articles/1669846/britney-spears-vmas-best-pop-video.jhtml">awards shows</a> and even got naked together in <a href="/news/articles/1672795/britney-spears-criminal-video-director.jhtml">Britney's "Criminal" video</a>, but it wasn't until December that they decided to make it official.

Kendrick Lamar lands the cover of EBONY magazine’s June 2015 Celebration of Black Millennial Music issue. Meanwhile, Michael B. Jordan is blasting internet trolls who are upset over his Fantastic Four role. So why are folks mad? Well…because he’s black and the role was written for a white man. Deets inside…..
Kendrick Lamar is having an amazing year thus far. His highly anticpated sophomore album To Pimp A Butterfly landed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 album sales chart and stayed there for two weeks in a row. He was recently awarded the "Generational Icon Award" by the state of California and he recently got engaged to his high school sweetheart Whitney Alford. Life is good for the west coast rapper and it’s only getting better.
The Grammy-winning recording artist has landed the cover of EBONY magazine’s June 2015 issue. And it’s a special edition issue, celebrating Black Millennial Music. And who better to have on the cover than the TDE honcho.
On Friday, Kendrick took to his Twitter to release the cover himself. Once his cover story is released, we will definitely bring it to you. Other artists being celebrated in the issue include Janelle Monae, Vic Mensa, Tink, FKA Twigs and more. You'll be able to get your hands on a physical copy once it hits stands next month.
In movie news....
Michael B. Jordan made headlines when he took on the role of Johnny Storm the Human Torch in the new Fantastic Four reboot. And it came with a lot of negative backlash since race plays a role. The Johnny Storm character was written for a white man with blonde hair and blue eyes, so some folks are all up in arms because a black man will be starring in the upcoming reboot.
The sexy actor decided to respond to the “internet trolls” who have an issue with a black man playingJohnny Storm in an open letter via Entertainment Weekly. And here’s what he said:
You’re not supposed to go on the Internet when you’re cast as a superhero. But after taking on Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four—a character originally written with blond hair and blue eyes—I wanted to check the pulse out there. I didn’t want to be ignorant about what people were saying. Turns out this is what they were saying: “A black guy? I don’t like it. They must be doing it because Obama’s president” and “It’s not true to the comic.” Or even, “They’ve destroyed it!”
It used to bother me, but it doesn’t anymore. I can see everybody’s perspective, and I know I can’t ask the audience to forget 50 years of comic books. But the world is a little more diverse in 2015 than when the Fantastic Four comic first came out in 1961. Plus, if Stan Lee writes an email to my director saying, “You’re good. I’m okay with this,” who am I to go against that?
Some people may look at my casting as political correctness or an attempt to meet a racial quota, or as part of the year of “Black Film.” Or they could look at it as a creative choice by the director, Josh Trank, who is in an interracial relationship himself—a reflection of what a modern family looks like today.
To the trolls on the Internet, I want to say: Get your head out of the computer. Go outside and walk around. Look at the people walking next to you. Look at your friends’ friends and who they’re interacting with. And just understand this is the world we live in. It’s okay to like it.
To read his entire letter, check it out here.
If you haven't checked out the trailer yet, take a peek at it HERE. Fantastic Four is slated for release in the US on August 7th.

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone were spotted leaving a Ralphs grocery store together in LA on Saturday. They kept things cute and casual while heading back to their car, and helped each other unload bags before driving off. It's the first time we've seen Emma and Andrew together since news broke that they had put the brakes on their three-year relationship back in April: at the time, a source close to the couple claimed that their busy schedules were keeping them apart. Emma has been promoting not one but two recent projects, first heading to the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of Irrational Man before traveling to London to do press for the romantic comedy Aloha with costar Bradley Cooper. For his part, Andrew was photographed filming the Martin Scorsese film Silence in Taiwan.
Despite their distance, rumors of a rekindling between the two began a few weeks ago, when Emma was snapped leaving her stylist's office with a brown bag labeled for Andrew, and heated up earlier this week with reports of the couple being spotted on a sushi date in LA. Keep reading for the photographic proof of Emma and Andrew's reconciliation, then check out more of their most adorable moments over the years.

Album art from Pink Floyd, Blur and David Bowie also included.

<P>On Thursday (January 7), the U.K.'s Royal Mail unveiled a series of 10 new stamps, honoring the most iconic album covers of the past 40 years. </P><P> </P><P>The albums featured in the new series are the <a href="/music/artist/rolling_stones/artist.jhtml">Rolling Stones</a>' <i>Let It Bleed,</i> <a href="/music/artist/led_zeppelin/artist.jhtml">Led Zeppelin</a>'s <i>IV,</i> <a href="/music/artist/bowie_david/artist.jhtml">David Bowie</a>'s <i>The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars,</i> <a href="/music/artist/mike_oldfield/artist.jhtml">Mike Oldfield</a>'s <i>Tubular Bells,</i> <a href="/music/artist/clash/artist.jhtml">The Clash</a>'s <i>London Calling,</i> <a href="/music/artist/new_order/artist.jhtml">New Order</a>'s <i>Power, Corruption and Lies,</i> <a href="/music/artist/primal_scream/artist.jhtml">Primal Scream</a>'s <i>Screamadelica,</i> <a href="/music/artist/pink_floyd/artist.jhtml">Pink Floyd</a>'s <i>The Division Bell,</i> <a href="/music/artist/blur/artist.jhtml">Blur</a>'s <i>Parklife</i> and — the most recent album on to make the cut — <a href="/music/artist/coldplay/artist.jhtml">Coldplay</a>'s <i>A Rush of Blood to the Head.</i> </P><P> </P><P>Meant to honor "the most potent graphic images of modern times, many of which have provided a visual soundtrack to people's lives," the series is the end result of a lengthy research process by the Royal Mail, who looked through thousands of album covers by British artists before deciding on the final list. And, during a Wednesday night BBC Radio broadcast, it was revealed that the queen herself actually approved each design. </P><P> </P><P>Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page — who helped design the cover for <i>IV</i> — was on hand to celebrate the release of the stamps and recalled the mysterious nature of the album's iconic imagery. </P><P> </P><P>"Almost 40 years after the album came out, nobody knows the old man who featured on the cover, nor the artist who painted him," he said. "That sort of sums up what we wanted to achieve with the album cover, which has remained both anonymous and enigmatic at the same time." </P><P> </P><P>Of course, any great honor is befitting of an equally great contest, so, on the same day the stamps were made available to the general public, Coldplay decided to give one of their <i>Rush of Blood</i> stamps away. In a message on their official site, the band held a contest to send one lucky fan "a letter using a Coldplay stamp, postmarked with today's issue date." </P><P> </P><P>"We visited our local post office earlier today and bought some of the Coldplay stamps," the message read. "Very nice they are too."</p>

The “Gone Girl” actress worked with famed photographer Yu Tsai for the red-hot images, featuring plenty of Emily’s signature ‘come hither’ glances as well as side boob and under boob.
Of the project, Yu told Swim Daily, "Emily has a body made by heaven with sharp smarts to match. There are no hesitations in her process to create an amazing image. In this YU+ME series, I wanted my lens to capture Emily in both fashion and her raw natural sexiness."
