The New York Times may have published Joe Wilson's now famous op-ed "What I Didn't Find in Africa" (aka evidence that Iraq had purchased uranium yellowcake), but now that Wilson's life is set to be a major motion picture, only on MTV News will you learn about "Who You Might Find in The Film."

"I'd love Russell Crowe," director Doug Liman enthused. "If you've met Joe, he's a really strong guy. I've never met an actor stronger than Russell Crowe."

Concluding in his piece that President George W. Bush either lied about or twisted intelligence to exaggerate the Iraqi threat in the weeks and months leading up to war, Wilson soon found himself the target of attack, which crested a week after the original article's publication when "Washington Post" columnist Robert Novak outed Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, as a covert CIA agent.

With the recent announcement that Brett Ratner would be directing a fourth "Beverly Hills Cop" movie 15 years after his last big-screen adventure, we wanted to know, where exactly is Axel Foley these days?

"Probably in Detroit," laughed Ratner, who is currently working with star Eddie Murphy on Foley's fourth big-screen adventure, where he will no doubt once again find himself improbably making his way back to the California coast.

And why not? Rambo did it. So did John McClane. Indiana Jones is doing it right now. There's no doubt that it's been the year of the aging action star. That makes it the perfect time to reintroduce the character to a whole new audience, Ratner insisted. Read more...

Comedian Danny McBride's description of working with Will Ferrell on the currently-filming flick "Land of the Lost" probably doesn't even come close to what really goes on with the former "Anchorman" on set. "It's pretty cool," McBride said, keeping mum about the 1970's TV show remake.

Talk to Ferrell and producer Adam McKay, however, and they'll tell you that the disaster-prone production has actually been as uncool as Donnie Osmond at a My Chemical Romance concert.

"I think it was like a week ago. This is a very technical movie at times, and things were going pretty slow. So I'm like, enough of this! And I pulled all the fire alarms, and of course it cost us a whole day," Ferrell shrugged. "Basically it cost the movie about $225,000 dollars, and Universal was livid." Read more...

As we wind down our coverage of the 2008 MTV Movie Awards, and all the "Twilight" fun that made the show so extra-special, we’re honoring this week’s Twilight Tuesday by bringing you an unedited interview between Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and yours truly.

We’re also excited to bring you the very first Cam Gigandet MTV interview, as we caught up with him on the red carpet and learned that the 25-year-old actor was eager to join the Twilight Tuesday festivities. For those who don’t know, Cam plays James - the "tracker" vampire who hunts down human beings and turns his attention to Stewart’s Bella Swan, leading to the confrontation we all saw in Sunday’s exclusive clip.

Moments after unveiling the scene on our gold carpet, and shortly before he’d go inside the Universal Amphitheatre to accept a "Best Fight" statuette for the flick "Never Back Down," Gigandet gave us his take on the big day.

Here’s your Twilight Tuesday question of the week, folks: The "Twilight" stars will do hundreds of interviews in the upcoming months to promote the movie between now and December. How did they do in their first official public appearance?
