Exclusive: My Chemical Romance's New Album Is A 'Love Letter To Rock And Roll'

'It's definitely more aggressive, but to me it feels like a celebration of rock and roll,' Gerard Way says.

Forget all that talk about ditching the shtick and focusing on fast-and-furious punk. My Chemical Romance have one sentiment they'd like to get across on their new album, one that echoes what Grand Funk Railroad said decades ago: "We're an American band."

"The punk element was something a lot of people talked about. I think once I said we were pulling out the marching bands, they assumed it was going to be a punk record," Gerard Way told MTV News last month at San Diego Comic-Con, where he was promoting "Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion," the third series of his Eisner-winning comic. "I mean, it's definitely more aggressive, but to me it feels like a celebration of rock and roll. It feels like a true love letter to rock and roll. There's something about being an American rock-and-roll band that we've kind of grown into and we're very proud of. And I think that's what we're celebrating with this record. There's no agenda, there's no mission; it's just about rock and roll."

For proof, check out the fan footage of "Death Before Disco," one of three new tracks MCR unveiled last Friday, during a secret show at the Roxy in Los Angeles. It's a charging, fist-pumping number that recalls the Motor City pump of the MC5 and the L.A. strut of the Knack. And to help them hone in on that vibe even further, they've tapped producer Brendan O'Brien — who's done albums for Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam and Mastodon, to name just a few — to helm the sessions for the new album.

"We're so happy working with Brendan O'Brien," Way said. "We love him, we're having the best time of our lives. It's a total blast. I feel like it's getting close to being finished. We're doing tracking now. There's no title yet. It's crazy — this is the first time we're waiting to get really far into the project before [choosing a title]. I'm actually kind of excited about that. It's kind of 'anything goes' at this point, but I'm so happy with the songs."

Way said there's still no release date for the new album, though he added, "It's safe to say it'll come out next year." This is all keeping with the band's open-ended, fast-and-loose approach to recording and writing, a first for MCR, who — up to this point — have made their living on expansive conceptual fare.

"It's actually kind of liberating," Way said. "I'm writing lyrics simply about what the song's telling me, instead of trying to shoehorn something into a story line. I'd say they all have their own little stories. Some of them are direct, real life things that happened to us or me. Some of them are fiction, [because] I didn't want to lose that side. One of the things I really liked about Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge is that we took people on a journey with each video and each single, even though it was a concept record. The Black Parade didn't do that. It stuck all the way through to this rigid vision up until the end, but this time I'm really excited about giving someone something new every time."

Moyer, 39, may have two kids from previous relationships, but that won't stop him from having more with his fiancee costar, Paquin, 27.

"Anna's so great with Stephen's kids and seems to love them so much, so she seems like someone who would be very open to having kids with him," Kristin Bauer, who plays Pam on the hit HBO vampire series, tells us. "I wouldn't be surprised."

Alyssa Milano's Charming Wedding

While Alyssa Milano is slated to star in ABC's Romantically Challenged, the 36-year-old is doing just fine in the romance department off the set.

Milano married talent agent David Bugliari Saturday at his family's estate in New Jersey, E! News has confirmed.

The former Charmed star palmed a lily of the valley floral bouquet, as she strolled down an aisle sprinkled with cream-colored rose petals and grass in a custom gown designed by Vera Wang, according to People Magazine.

Rather than enter the wedding to traditional "Here Comes the Bride" tunes, Milano instead walked toward her husband-to-be to John Lennon's "Imagine."

Guests, including Hangover star Bradley Cooper, watched the couple exchange vows under a gazebo woven with calla lilies, willows and roses.

When the ceremony ended, family and friends of the newlyweds headed to a bucolic-style reception, decorated with wrought-iron chandeliers and farmhouse tables.

Milano, who is of Italian descent, said she wanted to create the essence of her family's Sunday dinners at her wedding reception.

"We wanted to capture the same feeling with people passing around beautiful bowls of food and talking and laughing," Milano told People.

Milano and Bugliari announced their engagement in January of this year. The Creative Artist Agency agent popped the question to the actress Dec. 18, after the couple had been dating for more than a year.

The newlyweds celebrated their engagement with a lavish party in May, where guests including Milo Ventimiglia and Jon Heder were treated to red velvet cupcakes, a frozen yogurt bar, grilled salmon and tequila cocktails.

This is the second marriage for Milano, who was previously married to singer-songwriter Cinjun Tate.

Trace Cyrus Loves to Hate Disney Kids

When your younger sister is Disney's most famous pole dancer, it's probably only natural to rebel. That's what Trace Cyrus is doing, anyway. "Need more tattoos so everyone knows I'm the cool one."

When he's not taking awesome pictures of those tats in his hotel room, he's bullying the rest of the Disney gang. It was just last month the 20-year-old Metro Station singer and guitarist was engaging in some high school Twitter drama with Demi Lovato.

Now, it's the Jonas Brothers he's after. Talking to September's Details, he says, "I'm not trying to clean my image to make anyone happy. I could have gone the route of the Jonas Brothers. Those guys can't live their lives freely. They have to put out this image that's totally fake."

And he'll back that up with fists...

"I don't think any of them would be much trouble. I'd never lay a hand on Nick—I love that kid—but the other two better not get in my way."

All right, that is enough from you, Trace Cyrus. We get it. You're so cool, which is why you're wasting so much time on these Disney kids. That's just what cool people do. Duh.

They also get tattoos and dye their hair black and wear it in their face and work that webcam. So yeah, you're the coolest?

Bandslam's Aly on Nudity, Kissing and R.Pattz

Aly Michalka is growing up.

But not too much. The 19-year-old, best known from Aly & AJ, tells me there's not a chance in heck she'll be stripping down for a movie.

"I don't think it's necessary," Aly says. "I think there are other ways to shoot a love scene or a sexy scene without taking your clothes off."

However, she does get to stir things up a bit in the upcoming Easy A, opposite Superbad's Emma Stone...

"It's a really quirky, raunchy comedy," Aly said. "I play [Emma's] crazy best friend who has the worst mouth on her possible, definitely a different role for me. She cusses like a sailor."

Ms. Aly's newest flick, Bandslam, isn't too much of a departure for her. She costars with Vanessa Hudgens and Gaelan Connell as the popular girl in school who helps put together a rock-and-roll band with some fellow students.

She and Gaelan even share an onscreen smooch. "We were really comfortable with each other," Aly explained. "We had known each other for months. I was just like, 'Dude, we're going to kill this! Don't worry about it. It's going to be sick.' We just pumped each other up and it turned out really good."

She does realize that screenings of Bandslam will include the premiere of the New Moon trailer. "It's huge," Aly said. "I think it will help our film."

Even though she admitted to being "more of a Harry Potter fan," Aly definitely gets the Robert Pattinson phenomenon. "But it's not just about his looks," she said. "I actually find him to be a really good, solid actor."

Can We Trust Rufus and Lily's Long-Lost Love Child on Gossip Girl?

What kind of Gossip Girl scene is this? Where are the tears and recriminations? Are Lily Rhodes van der Woodsen Bass (Kelly Rutherford) and Rufus Humphrey (Matthew Settle) really having a genuine and heartwarming reunion with their long-lost son, Scott (Chris Riggi)? Or is Scott actually a lying grifter out to break Rufus' heart and make off with Lily's money?

We've got the exclusive dish on what Rufus and Lily's love child really wants from our favorite Upper East Side adults...

Believe it or not, the joyous reunion scene is genuine! Sources tell us that the kiddos (Dan, Serena, Little J and Eric) learn about their half brother earlier in the season, but in episode five of Gossip Girl season three, Rufus and Lily finally meet their long-lost spawn, Scott, and he's up to nothing more nefarious than trying to find his birth parents. He's a good guy, after all! Awww...

Scott's main arc is the first five episodes of the season, and he departs again after the big reunion, but more likely than not, the character will recur again for the remainder of the season.

Are you excited that Scott turns out to be a good guy? Are you looking forward to the return of Gossip Girl?
