Doctors say the 84-year-old guru, who is thought to have millions of followers around the world, died following a cardiac arrest.

He had been admitted to hospital in his hometown of Puttaparthi last month, suffering from respiratory problems and kidney failure.

His followers include former Indian prime ministers and Bollywood stars.

Many of his supporters consider him a living god and credit him with mystical powers including the ability to conjure objects out of thin air.

But his career had also been dogged by controversy. He had been accused of faking some of the so-called miracles attributed to him.

And some former followers have levelled accusations of sexual abuse against him and other members of his ashram - allegations that he has denied.

He has never been charged by police in connection with these allegations.

Officials say his body will be kept for public viewing for the next few days and a funeral is expected to take place after that.

For the first time since Baba was admitted to Sathya Sai Baba super speciality on March 27, the doctors did not issue a morning bulletin on Sunday.

Sathya Sai Central Trust, which runs social service activities in India and abroad, is to hold a media conference at 11 am.

In the Saturday evening bulletin, the doctors had termed Baba's condition as very critical.

Fearing the worst, hundreds of devotees in the town broke down as their hopes for recovery of the 85-year-old spiritual guru appeared to be fading.

Major industries minister Geeta Reddy and senior government officials rushed to the hospital on Sunday morning and were holding meeting with doctors and trust officials before making an announcement.

The state government has gone on high alert.

More than 6,000 policemen were rushed to the town for deployment and to make arrangements for the visits of VIPs.

The "American Idol" season 10 premiere is just a day away, and to celebrate, MTV News has been rolling out our big guns, with "Idol" cheat sheets, breaking news and everything you need to know before Wednesday night's big opener.
On Tuesday (January 18), we had the opportunity to chat with new judge Steven Tyler, by way of a conference call with a handful of curious reporters. The Aerosmith frontman was just as energetic and amusing as he's been in recent appearances, proving that his presence and commentary on the show will likely be a highlight each week.
Of his experience thus far, Tyler said it has been good, adding that his judging style comes from his personal experience in the business.
"I don't take what happened to me this morning or last night or with the band ... I don't take that into judging kids [like] other people might have," Tyler explained. "I kind of take what I've grown up with, which is being a very harsh judge of myself, of my vocals, of my band, and lay that across the talent that comes across my view."
Given that Tyler seems to be enjoying his new position — particularly that he gets to sit next to fellow newbie Jennifer Lopez, who he called "a fox," — everyone wants to know how long he plans to be on the show.
"I have more than a one-year contract," Tyler revealed. "But as you know, things are what they are. But I have more than a one-year contract. I'll give you that one."
Although we're still far from season 11, we also got an early tip for next season's contestants. Tyler cautioned against auditioning with Aerosmith tunes, specifically "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" — unless you can knock it out of the park.
"They have to sing it good, you know. They must have sung in the seven weeks [of auditions], they probably got, you know, 15, 16 [performances of] 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing,' " Tyler said. "It was hard for me because it always seemed to me when they said they were going to sing it, I knew someone at home was ... like, 'If you sing that song, Tyler will be enamored.' And when I didn't like it, I felt a little ill at ease to tell them, 'You know what? You really didn't sing it good.' "
But Tyler said that if we should hear any Aerosmith on the show beyond the tryout rounds, those performances will likely be solid.
"If any of them sing it now, remember we are down to 20 great people. So if they did, it would be nothing but good."

Like a high school girlfriend who comes back from her first semester at college looking totally different, no matter how much you think you knew her, the 10th season of "American Idol" will feel brand new.
After a tumultuous off season that saw a nearly wholesale remake of the judging panel, the new season will launch Wednesday with the first of the beloved audition episodes, which always bring the promise of new talent and a fresh crop of delusional weirdos to mock. After Wednesday night's premiere, head back here to MTV.com at 10 p.m. ET for "Judging the Judges: An 'Idol' Without Simon," a live stream featuring post-show analysis from Jim Cantiello and special guests.
What can we expect this season? Here are the major changes in store:
» The debut of new judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez, along with Interscope Geffen A&M boss Jimmy Iovine, who will be acting as the in-house mentor.
» A Vegas audition round, where the top 60 singers were flown to Las Vegas to perform on the same stage as the Cirque du Soleil Beatles show "Love." Those 60 will be further whittled down before the semifinal round, when America finally gets to vote.
» The return of some sort of "wild card" round where the judges will bring back an as-yet-undetermined amount of finalists.
» A sudden-death round that will determine the top 12 (or, possibly, top 10).
» The end of gender parity. Producers have said that if they need to go with an all-female or all-male group of finalists or an uneven amount of boys and girls, so be it.
» A new set and a new music director in Ray Chew, formerly of the "Saturday Night Live" band.
» The return of the "Idol" mansion, where the finalists will live during their run on the show.
» Additional mentoring from a handpicked group of producers whom Iovine has tapped to help the finalists hone their arrangements. Among them: Rodney Jerkins (Janet Jackson, Britney Spears), Ron Fair (Christina Aguilera, Pussycat Dolls), Timbaland (Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado) and Alex Da Kid (Rihanna, Eminem).
» A quicker turnaround on musical releases from the finalists. Geffen Records chairman Ron Fair said finalists will start releasing music as the season progresses.
» A less "dawg"-tastic Randy Jackson. The sole original judge has promised to cut down on the shtick this year as he takes up the memorial Simon Cowell seat.
» The youngest contestants ever thanks to dropping the age limit to 15.
» According to producers, fewer guitars, as they want to see contestants sing and not hide behind their instruments.
» The first chance for "Idol" contestants to try their hand at writing original songs.
» Broader themes keyed to decades or genres of music rather than specific artists, which also likely means fewer celebrity guest mentors.
» And while Jackson never misses a chance to name-drop the artists he's worked with during his critiques, look for Tyler and Lopez to allude to their experiences in the music business to help guide the budding singers get it right. As Nigel Lythgoe said in a recent interview, this season the show is going to be more about finding the eventual winner of the show and less about "stopping people getting there."

Bruce Willis and Ryan Gosling meet for the first time at the Weinstein Golden Globes afterparty

Photo: MTV News




One of the best things about covering awards-show red carpets — in addition to all of the glamorous fashion — is getting to watch all the celebrity-on-celebrity interactions.
A particularly exciting exchange went down at a Golden Globes afterparty hosted by the Weinsteins, where MTV News looked on as A-list actors Bruce Willis and Ryan Gosling met for the first time.

We were lucky enough to chat with Gosling moments after the big introduction so, of course, we had to ask what he and Willis had discussed, whether the seasoned action star imparted any wisdom to Gosling and so forth.
"I can't talk about it," Gosling quipped.
Sensing that the "Blue Valentine" star was holding back but secretly wanted to share some exciting tidbit with us, we pressed further, asking whether he was able to secure a part in "Die Hard 5" during their brief conversation.
"No comment," Gosling responded with a smile.
Fair enough. We ceased our probing and instead asked Gosling if it was in fact the first time he'd ever met the veteran actor.
"[That was the] first time I ever met Bruce Willis," Gosling confirmed. "I know, it's nice. I haven't had time to process it because I'm trying to talk about him. I don't know how I feel about it."
In spite of making introductions with numerous photographers and TV crews present, Gosling said he thought the exchange, though short, went well.
"I do feel good [about it]," he said. "I wanted it to be more private. In my mind, it wasn't in front of all these people."
Check out everything we've got on "Blue Valentine."

Paul Rudd on the set of "My Idiot Brother"

Photo: MTV News




We'll be honest: When we caught up with Paul Rudd this summer, he kind of looked like a mess. A Unabomber-esque beard had sprouted from his face, ripped-up shorts hung low on his hips and a pair of bright-orange Crocs hugged his feet.
"They suck," he said of the footwear. "I don't like 'em. They're not good, despite the fact that they look so cool."
No, Rudd was not down on his luck. He was still in wardrobe on the final day of shooting for "My Idiot Brother," an upcoming comedy in which Rudd stars as an idealistic organic farmer who apartment-hops among his three sisters' pads, sowing happiness and havoc in his wake.

"I immediately go to jail for selling marijuana to a uniformed police officer," Rudd revealed of his character, Ned Rochlin. "However, the character is not dumb. The character just kind of appeals to everybody's higher angels and thinks that if he throws goodness out there, it will in turn come back."
But it's just that it's-all-good-bro sensibility that ends up causing so much disruption in his sisters' lives. To begin, he stays with a career-oriented, overachieving sister played by Elizabeth Banks. Then it's on to a sister, played by Emily Mortimer, who lives in Park Slope and has just given birth to a child. Finally he ends up in a Williamsburg, Brooklyn, loft with a sister, played by Zooey Deschanel, and his sister's lesbian lover.
"We shot a lot of In Williamsburg," Rudd laughed. "People couldn't tell if I was a hipster or a Hassid."
Directed by Jesse Peretz, "My Idiot Brother" premieres at this year's Sundance Film Festival, which kicks off Thursday in Park City, Utah. By then, Rudd will have ditched the Crocs and the happy-hippie beard. In fact, he was planning on a much-anticipated shave as soon as production wrapped hours after we bid him goodbye on set.
"I'm going to shave tomorrow. I'll do it in segments," Rudd said. "You can never just shave a beard off. You have to do it piece by piece. Usually, the first thing I'll go for is the James A. Garfield or the Zachary Taylor. Just the chin shave. Actually, I don't know if Garfield had that. I'll have to Google it."
Check out everything we've got on "My Idiot Brother."
