Panic At The Disco, Snoop Dogg launch MTV music programme

Panic At The Disco will be joined on stage by Snoop Dogg as the first performers on a new weekly music programme hosted by Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz.

'F'N MTV' premieres tomorrow (June 13) at 8pm PST/EST on MTV, and features a live performance from Panic At The Disco as well as video premieres from Snoop Dogg, The Ting Tings, The Pussycat Dolls and Flo-Rida, who will all be on-hand to introduce their videos.

Viewers can vote on the videos and upload their own re-imagined versions of them to the web.

"Having people interact with anything we're doing makes us feel complete as a band," Ting Tings' Jules De Martino told NME.COM. "It's very much about creating new ways people can get involved."

The Ting Tings' 'Shut Up And Let Me Go' video will premiere tomorrow. "We wanted to make a Kung Fu video because we've been watching a lot of Stephen Chow videos like 'Kung Fu Hustle'," De Martino explained. "We're also into using a lot of layers, shapes and colours."

The programme is scheduled to air on MTV every Friday night throughout the summer. Next week's show will feature Vampire Weekend and Duffy.

"We're bringing music videos back to MTV on a Friday night," Wentz said. "I was raised on music videos, they made me who I am today," he added.

The premiere programme will also feature a spoof segment in which Snoop Dogg gives Wentz and his new bride Ashlee Simpson tips on how to raise their forthcoming child, including putting the baby's crib in the garage so it doesn't wake them and nursing the baby with malt liquor.

Amy Winehouse: 'I haven't sacked my band'

Amy Winehouse has responded to tabloid newspaper claims that she had a "gig from hell" recently and ended up blamed her backing band.

The star played a gig at the Rock in Rio Lisboa event in Portugal on Saturday (May 31).

The Daily Star called the show the "gig from hell", and claimed that after the show the singer threatened to sack her backing band.

Winehouse has responded to the claims today by releasing a statement refuting them. "I was really upset that anyone would suggest that I would act that way to my band," her statement read.

"My band are my family and I did not 'scream' at my horn players and would never be 'sick of the sight of them'. We have been through a lot together and I would never lose my temper in that way with them."

Speaking about her perceived poor performance at the show, Winehouse said in the statement: "I suffered from a sore throat all week and was given the option to cancel. But I was determined to show my fans that I was back and working.

"I'm looking forward to my remaining dates throughout the summer."
