Frankie Delgado Parties With Diddy In Los Angeles

Posted 5/30/09 11:35 pm EST by in MTV Movie Awards


"Hills" star Frankie Delgado has never met a party he hasn’t wanted to go to (this is a well known fact to "Hills" fans) and when the MTV Movie Awards Weekend Guest Host invited MTV News to Deluxe in L.A. to show us how he parties in the days leading up to a big show like the Movie Awards, he definitely didn’t disappoint.

L.A. hotspot Deluxe was jam packed with L.A.'s finest pretty people and Frankie's table was also packed with all his buddies. He showed us around the club and even got behind the bar and displayed his best "Cocktail" style bar moves to the patrons. We're pretty sure that Tom Cruise would have been proud. And, if that wasn’t enough, a few very lucky clubgoers even got specially made drinks by Frankie while in his bartender. Read More...

Nominee Kristen Stewart 'Can Do Anything,' Declares 'Twilight' Director Catherine Hardwicke

Posted 5/30/09 11:33 pm EST by in MTV Movie Awards


While co-star Robert Pattinson was a relative newcomer to the Hollywood scene, Kristen Stewart was already a veteran by the time she joined the "Twilight" cast. Stewart was among the first to be added to the roster, and the potential Edward role depended on who she had the most chemistry with.

At least, that's according to director Catherine Hardwicke, who had Stewart audition with the leading candidates -- including obviously Robert Pattinson -- right in her den. What Hardwicke saw made her find Stewart even more impressive, which is why -- according to her -- Stewart deserves the Best Female Performance statue at the MTV Movie Awards tonight at 9 p.m. ET. Check it out below and click here to watch the rest of our interview with the "Twilight" helmer.

Movie Awards Insider: Shelly Watches The 'New Moon' Trailer!

Posted 5/30/09 9:59 pm EST by in MTV Movie Awards, Video


MTV News welcomes Shelly Morrison as our official Movie Awards Insider for the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. From now until the big show on Sunday, Shelly will be mixing it up with the hottest celebrities and taking you behind closed doors for one of Hollywood's biggest events.

HOLY MOLY, people! I just had another amazing surprise this morning. I got to watch the "New Moon" trailer that will be airing on Sunday during the big show (airing live at 9 p.m. ET). Amazing! I loved it! It looks like director Chris Weitz has tried to incorporate as many elements from the book as possible, and -- no worries -- the vamps all look great. I was completely speechless at first. Maybe it was just that good. Maybe it was the "top secret" feel of the whole thing. Maybe I'm just a closet Twilighter like so many others. Who knows? What ever the case may be, you will have to tune in Sunday to see it for yourself. Read More...
