The Perils Of Playing A 'Twilight' Villain

Posted 5/21/09 12:30 pm EST by in Humor, MTV Movie Awards, Video


Poor Cam Gigandet. Dude can't even go for a run without being hounded by rabid "Twilight" fans. I wonder if Ralph Fiennes has these same troubles for his portrayal of Lord Voldemort in the "Harry Potter" movies? Doubtful, considering all of the makeup they make him wear.

No such luck for Gigandet. As the below clip shows, he is now the bane of pre-teen girls everywhere. They won't be dismembering him and setting him on fire this time though.

I may not know my "Twilight," but that right there is a pretty hilarious clip. MTV's Jocelyn Vena was on the set for the recording of Gigandet's epic fight, so look for behind-the-scenes footage to pop up later today.

Posted 5/21/09 12:00 pm EST by in Video


In this exclusive clip from "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian," Jedediah Smith (Owen Wilson) lays out his plan for rescuing security guard Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) to a clueless Octavius (Stephen Coogan). Will they succeed? My guess is yes. Though things will almost certainly not go according to plan. If only the Jonas Brothers' cameo in the film could help them...

Fake-out! Bradley Cooper May Not Be Confirmed For 'A-Team' After All

Posted 5/21/09 11:00 am EST by in News


Bradley CooperEarlier this week, we reported that IESB had pulled a rather shady stunt involving suspected Faceman pick Bradley Cooper and a smuggled tape recorder. For those who need a refresher, Faceman forms one quarter of "The A-Team," the 80s TV series currently in development for a silver screen adaptation/reboot.

As the story goes, Cooper was approached by an IESB reporter in a Las Vegas hotel hallway during a press junket for "The Hangover." Asked how he felt about being cast as Faceman, the actor replied: "That's out already?" He then went on to praise director Joe Carnahan, who will reportedly be helming the adaptation. In the latest twist, Cooper talked about the incident with CHUD in an effort to set everyone straight on what he meant. Read More...

Zach Braff And Cameron Diaz Will Hit The Singles Scene In 'Swingles'

Posted 5/21/09 10:00 am EST by in News


Cameron DiazZack Braff has absolute power in the land of the "Swingles." According to Variety, Braff will direct the romantic comedy, which will be his first feature since 2004's "Garden State." The project already boasts leading lady Cameron Diaz, but Braff isn't content with merely directing her. He will also be co-starring and rewriting the film.

"Swingles" centers on a bachelor who is dumped by his wingman. Having studied his "Top Gun," the bachelor knows that he can't fly solo, and he decides that his next pickup companion will be a wingwoman. Sounds like a plan, right? Not so fast. The new winglady is a "sharp-tongued" sort, and our bachelor can't stand her. Of course we all know where this is probably going: loathing turns into love and things wrap up with a little "happily ever after." Hey, that's how "Top Gun" ends things between Iceman and Maverick, too! Read More...

Will Smith To Tell The Story Of Hurricane Katrina Hero John Keller

Posted 5/21/09 9:00 am EST by in News


Will SmithWill Smith is no stranger to playing heroes. With the exception of "Ali" however, they've all been fictional do-gooders who save the world from CGI hordes. Well Smith is heading back into the real world with his latest project, as Variety reports that Smith is set to tell the story of a Hurricane Katrina hero.

Sony, with Smith's Overbrook Entertainment, have obtained the rights to the life story of John Keller, an ex-Marine who was nicknamed "The Can Man" by New Orleans press. Keller resided in the American Can Company apartments; when the hurricane hit and flooded the building beneath 11 feet of water, he stood guard against looters and troublemakers. Keller also hot-wired cars and boats in order to get to the grocery store so he could provide neighbors with food. Read More...

'New Moon' panel confirmed for San Diego Comic-ConSummit Entertainment announced today that "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" will be featured at a panel at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con. Considering the turnout for last year's "Twilight" panel, this news was really more of a "when" than an "if." The announcement mentions "exclusive new footage" and maybe "even a surprise or two."

The announcement does not reveal exactly "who" will be attending, though it's going to be tough to top last year's lineup. Who would you like to see? Predictions for what footage they'll be showing? How early do you intend to line up to secure your seat in the panel?

What Should Tim Kash Wear To The 2009 MTV Movie Awards?

Posted 5/20/09 7:34 pm EST by in MTV Movie Awards


Even though preparations for the 2009 MTV Movie Awards have been underway for months, it always takes a little while for the reality of it to set in for me: I have to choose an outfit. I'm not a big fan of shopping, but I do try to take my red-carpet game pretty seriously.

For the 2007 MTV Movie Awards, which was really my first big hosting gig here in the States, I was decked out in Armani from head-to-toe. In fact, the suit I ended up wearing was the first one I saw when we were looking at red-carpet options. The jacket has these wonderfully exaggerated lapels and a built-in waistcoat, which made it stand out from all the rest. Coupled with a short-collar white shirt and a black-and-silver-striped tie, I think the outfit was the definition of understated cool (shame about my face, though).

That's my "I'm so happy to be at the Movie Awards" look.

Unresolved Pregnancy Subplot May Hint At 'Terminator Salvation' Sequel

Posted 5/20/09 5:00 pm EST by in News, Video


FROM MTV.COM: If you see "Terminator Salvation" this weekend, you're bound to expect some twists and turns and moments that could allude to plot points in future movies. The most significant revelation, however, might be one that is never acknowledged.

As "Terminator" fans know, the series focuses mainly on John Connor, the badass savior of mankind played by Christian Bale in the new movie. Although director McG has chosen to disown 2003's "Terminator: Rise of the Machines," he did keep the woman John fell in love with in that film, Kate Connor, now played by Bryce Dallas Howard. In "Salvation," we can see that Kate is pregnant — but John and the other characters never mention it once, and it seemingly has nothing to do with the plot.

Or does it?
