We've had some wild evenings since we've arrived at Sundance, but nothing will top the night out we spent with former Danity Kane beauty Aubrey O'Day. It so made an indelible mark in our lives that not only did our colleague Adam write about it, but even I jumped into the fray, blogging about Aubrey and her BFF Paris Hilton gave me a birthday kiss when I suddenly found myself part of their nightlife entourage.

Below, check out the video to see just a portion of what a night out with Aubrey O'Day and Paris Hilton is like, and then click here to watch all of our celebrity videos from here at Sundance.

Sunday night at Park City's "Racquet Club" theater saw a different kind of game going down - a twisted, frequently hilarious, wholly original sports-fanatic flick called "Big Fan."

By the end of the screening, the reaction made it clear that much of the audience could apply the film's title to themselves.

In his pre-movie comments, red-hot "The Wrestler" writer Robert Siegel made a request of the audience that undoubtedly set a precedent for a debut director at Sundance: He asked the audience to monitor the Steelers score on their cell phones, and shout out when they won. Read more...

If you thought the last profound cultural impact Ashton Kutcher would ever make would be "Beauty and the Geek," may we direct your attention to Mr. Kutcher's Presidential Pledge campaign over at MySpace.

Beginning today a series of videos starring the likes of Ashlee Simpson, Diddy, and Tobey Maguire, are rolling out over on the site. Each one is directed by Demi Moore (what happened to acting, Demi? Come back to us!) and came about from Kutcher and Jason Goldberg's encouragement to their friends and colleagues to record a pledge of service to President-elect Barack Obama.

“The Presidential Pledge is a platform for people across the nation and throughout the world to make a first person commitment of service to our new President, articulating a specific intent or action to become an agent of positive change,” said Kutcher in a statement released today.

One of the craziest rumors to come out of "The Dark Knight" mania was that Cher was in the running to play Catwoman. Well, that didn't come true, but it looks like her next movie will have her playing the most deadly feline of all -- a cougar. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cher is paring up with that legendary Jackass Johnny Knoxville for "The Drop Out."

Written and directed by Ricky Blitt (who was also responsible for Knoxville's "The Ringer"), Knoxville will play a 35-year-old college student who is finally kicked out of his parents' house. Desperate for free rent, food, and television, he decides to get in good with the hot 65-year-old woman next door.

Can you guess who's playing that role? Read more...

In the eyes of many geeks, "Star Wars" ruined its perfect batting average by going back to the well, as did "Indiana Jones" and several other notable franchises. But now, Dominic Monaghan is promising that "Lord of the Rings" won't leave a similar bad-sequel aftertaste in the mouths of its beloved fans.

And, to ensure it, Monaghan and his fellow Hobbits are making plans to once again return to Middle-earth. Check out the video below, and then click here to read the full article.

Sundance fashion is tricky. If you're lucky enough to have a film here, you're hopping from event to event, day and night. If not, you're still going from place to place, non-stop. So, what on earth do you wear?

Paris Hilton isn't promoting a film this year, but that doesn't stop her from being everywhere cool on Main Street. MTV News has set up shop at the MySpace Cafe by the lifts, and we've seen Paris saunter in and out a couple of times in the past few days. Yesterday, her daytime look was less snow-bunny than I would have expected. In fact, she looked pretty badass, if you disregard her kitty hat and matching mittens. Come night, Paris did a complete transformation. Still edgy, she showed up to 50 Cent's dinner in a leopard print coat with matching shoes. (Check out photo comparisons after the jump.) Read more...

Saturday night is the pinnacle party night at Sundance -- with most of the weekend worriers heading back on Sunday -- and last night didn’t disappoint.

Over at the Axe Fix party, things where in full swing by midnight. Steve Aoki was manning the DJ booth, playing an energetic and lengthy set. At one point he even climbed to the top of the speakers, almost hitting his head on the ceiling, to fire up the crowd. Nikky Hilton was in attendance at the cozy party, where there enough party-goers to fill the space but not too many to feel over packed. It was just the right mix of a great DJ, unpretentious Sundancers, and plenty of drinks to lubricate the evening. Read more...
