The fictional Miley Stewart is almost as lucky as real-life Miley Cyrus when it comes to love. Sure, Cyrus is dating model/musician Justin Gaston, but Stewart has found love with local cowboy Travis Brody, played by up-and-coming actor Lucas Till on the big-screen in "Hannah Montana: The Movie."
"He's a cute kid, and I like that he doesn't like the Hannah character," Cyrus told MTV News. "He likes the Miley character, and he shows her back to reality, and I like that."

It’s been hoped for, it’s been rumored, and it’s been avoided. Now, it’s confirmed: Arnold Schwarzenegger has a cameo in this summer’s “Terminator” sequel.
“Exactly,” his co-star Terry Crews told us recently when asked about the “Terminator Salvation” cameos of Arnold and the “Idiocracy” star. “There are a lot of guys in that movie. I mean, ‘Terminator 4’ is very big.”
The burly, affable Crews said he was excited to make a double-reunion with Arnold, as they’ll also be briefly joining forces in the Sylvester Stallone tough-guy flick “The Expendables.” Read More...

It seems that Al Pacino has long had a Napoleon complex. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he's cherished the idea of playing the famous French emperor for years, and is now getting his chance by signing on to play Bonaparte in "Betsy and the Emperor."
Directed by John Curran ("The Painted Veil") from a screenplay by Brian Edgar, the independent film will be based on the children's book by Staton Rabin. It's based on the true story of Lucia Elizabeth Balcombe, whose father was Napoleon's jailer during his exile on St. Helena. The two struck up a friendship and rumors flew that the exiled Emperor was romancing the teenager, though they have never been proven. Read More...

“Star Trek” fever is gripping the world wide web, as the franchise re-boot was unspooled Monday evening at Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse, and fans and critics alike have been weighing in with their thoughts. Now, MTV follows it up by letting those outside the Texas area in on the fun, with this exclusive clip from the May 8th blockbuster.
“You’ve got a talented tongue,” Captain James Tiberius Kirk (Chris Pine) flirts in the scene, which depicts him meeting future Enterprise communications officer Uhura for the first time in a local watering hole. Read More...

At the Screen Actor's Guild Awards in January, Angelina Jolie wore her blue Max Azria gown backwards. On purpose! Us Weekly reported that the intent was to make the dress more "blouson" ... and it also happened to show off her tattoos more effectively, but I'm sure that had nothing to do with it.
Last night, Anna Faris showed up at the
premiere of her film "Observe and Report," and upon seeing the photos, I immediately assumed she had pulled an Angelina and turned her dress around too. The skin-bearing, deep purple gown could not have been meant to look that way, could it? (Check out the back and front of Anna Faris' dress after the jump, and check out the whole gallery from the "Observe and Report" premiere.) Read More...

It was almost like an "Ocean's" movie premiere, except a younger generation. Instead of Brad Pitt and George Clooney, the "Star Trek" world premiere in Sydney, Australia included the likes of Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine.
Both Quinto and Pine, along with John Cho, Eric Bana, director J.J. Abrams and other cast members all showed up in very smart, dark suits. While most wore quite button-downs, Quinto and Bana chose black shirts under their dark suits. Bana also went against the pack and decided against wearing a tie. All the gentlemen wore variations on a very traditional theme, each tweaking the look to make it his own. (Check out some shots of the guys after the jump, plus all the photos from Sydney in our "Star Trek" world premiere gallery.) Read More...

Last Friday night, weary from pondering the mysteries of the MPAA movie-rating system (why is the wonderful “Adventureland” rated an audience-shriveling R? “Hostel” was rated R!), I found refreshment at a screening of “Moon,” a wonderful movie itself, in a very different, dark, brain-knotting way.
In fact, “Moon” is a terrific sci-fi space film, one that moves the venerable genre forward with a one-of-a-kind story and a striking visual design that in no way suggests its modest budget or its brisk production schedule (it was shot in about a month). The picture has one star: Sam Rockwell. He plays Sam Bell, a space worker nearing the end of a three-year corporate contract overseeing mining operations on the dark side of the moon. The lunar surface has been discovered to contain abundant amounts of Helium-3, an (actual) isotope that, in the movie, has revolutionized energy production back on Earth. The mining is done by machines; Sam is there to keep the operation humming. Read More...
