Study shows fewer loans to small business in March

NEW YORK (AP) ? Lending to small business is slowing, possibly a sign of deteriorating confidence in the economy from entrepreneurs.

A study released Tuesday by PayNet, a research firm that tracks loans to small business, shows that lending fell 3 percent in March.

The Thomson Reuters/PayNet Small Business Lending Index was at 98.5 in March, down from a revised 101.8 in February. The index was at 110.5 in December, when companies were rushing to acquire equipment before the expiration of lucrative tax deductions at the end of 2011. PayNet's analysis shows that lending is up 10 percent from a year ago, but it's also at the level where it was in 2005.

Many companies have been hesitant to borrow since the recession because they have been uncertain about the economy.

Happy Anniversary, Prince William & Kate Middleton!

The world's most famous newlyweds are no longer newlyweds.

It's hard to believe that a whole year has passed since Prince William and Kate Middleton became Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at London's Westminster Abbey.

The royal wedding was a spectacle unlike any other, and not simply because William is royalty: It's a celebrity news story that isn't the slightest bit negative!

Nary a harsh word is ever said about the couple, who the whole world is rooting for to succeed (while speculating over Kate's future pregnancy) 24/7/365.

Royal Wedding Kiss and Highlights

A year after they declared their love for each other in front of an estimated two billion (!) viewers, they're keeping their first wedding anniversary private.

The Duke and Duchess were to spend part of the weekend with friends in London, then return to their home in Anglesey, on the Welsh coast, by Sunday.

So here's to William and Kate! Click to enlarge some of our favorite photos of the royal no-longer-newlyweds on this, their one-year wedding anniversary:

Fun.'s 'Some Nights' Video On The Way, Xylophones And All

'We're filming it through the middle of the night,' the Movie Awards performers tells MTV News of nocturnal clip.

Last month, Fun. promised that the video for "Some Nights" — the follow-up to their chart-topping breakout "We Are Young" — would be "amazing," which was a pretty big statement, considering they hadn't even come up with a concept at the time.

But now, all that has changed. Because when MTV News caught up with the guys last week to discuss their upcoming performance at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards, they let it be known that not only have they settled on a treatment for the "Some Nights" clip, but that, yes, it is going to be as amazing as promised.

"The 'Some Nights' video is coming; we're going to start filming it next week," frontman Nate Ruess said. "We're going to try and get it out as soon as possible. It's been really rough, because we've been on tour for the last two months, so we found a night off — that was all we get, and we have to rush to a show the next day — but I know we're going to make the most of it, because the director has a brilliant concept and it's something that doesn't put as much pressure on us, other than just to perform and perform well, and he's going to set an amazing scene around us."

And while Fun. wouldn't reveal all the details about the video, they did let a few plot points out of the bag — namely, it's going to be a nocturnal affair ("There are lanterns," Ruess said) and there will most definitely be a xylophone in play. Other than that, though, well, you'll just have to wait and see.

"We're filming it through the middle of the night," guitarist Jack Antonoff said. "And Andrew [Dost] is going to be walking with a xylophone at some point, not to give away too much."

"Now, you're giving away too much," Dost laughed. "All right, fine, I'm walking with a xylophone."

The 21st annual MTV Movie Awards air live Sunday, June 3 at 9 p.m. ET/PT from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.
