Mary J and her castmates from the upcoming Rock of Ages movie gave viewers a hint of what to expect from the upcoming film. Dancing with the Stars alum Julianne Hough (Sherrie Christian) and Diego Boneta (Drew Boley) warmed up the crowd by launching into a medley of Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock and Roll” and Foreigner’s “Jukebox Hero,” before Mary came out as her character “Justice Charlier” to sing Journey’s “Anyway Way You Want It.” The track was just released this week to get fans of the Broadway show ready for the movie’s June 15th release date.

Morissette was among the first performers of the night, debuting her brand new song, “Guardian” from her forthcoming album Havoc and Bright Lights. And Carrie Underwood also took the stage to perform “Good Girl” from her just released chart topping album, Blown Away.

The surprising elimination among the dancers last night was Maria Menounos and partner Derek Hough, who had come out among the top with their scores the night before. The remaining three couples competing for the mirror ball next week will be Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd, Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas plus Wiliam Levy and Cheryl Burke.

The finale for Dancing with the Stars will be on May 22.

The festival will be a two-day event for the first time in its nine-year history. The extra day brings a grouping of artists from different eras and regions. New York City veteran rapper, Nas, is on the bill with Compton, California newcomer Kendrick Lamar. On-fire present-day spitters such as 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa and J. Cole, will rock the same stage as luminaries such as Naughty By Nature and Salt-N-Pepa.

But not every rapper on the bill will actually be on the stage. Lupe Fiasco, who performed at the festival in years past, was listed on the flyer. But he announced via Twitter that it was a “typo,” and that he would not be on the set.

The new music falls in line with DMX’s former releases, both sonically and in subject matter. On the EP, he focuses on overcoming adversity (“Where I Wanna Be”) and makes his trademark references to his “dogs” (“Where My Dogs At,” and S**t Don’t Change,” ft. Snoop Dogg).

“It was incredible,” DMX told MTV News, about working with Snoop and Tyrese, who also appears on the EP. “I just happened to call Snoop while I was in the studio, he answered the phone, I sent him the joint, the next day I had it back,” he recalled. “I appreciate the fact that the love is still there. I look forward to working with more artists. I normally don’t work with too many artists, but these have always been friends of mines.”

DMX bit into the rap scene in 1998, when he snagged two No. 1 albums in the same year with the turbulent discs, It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot and Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood.

Last month DMX had a breakdown on an episode of Couples Therapy when he cried out for his “mommy” and delved into the emotional source of his previous drug use.

The scrappy rapper, who has become known for his many run-ins with the law, is now happy to put music first.

“I wish it was always like that but you can’t really worry about what people think, what they say. I just gotta do me,” he said. “The focus is on taking the music seriously, as a job, and less trouble.”

DMX is also working on his seventh studio album, Undisputed, which is set to be released in the fall. You can download or listen to the Weigh In here.
