Posted 5/20/10 4:30 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


Wherever you were if you were watching the Los Angeles Lakers in Games 2 of the NBA Western Conference finals, I'm going to assume your seats were not as good the ones occupied by Danny DeVito, Eliza Dushku and Kim Kardashian. They all posted pics you can scope out below to see if you're jealous.

If you don't care about basketball and do care about "Twilight," I have pertinent tweets for you on that front as well. In them, you can follow Justin Chon's departure for Paris and find out which Six Flags park you may bump into Christian Serratos at sometime soon. The answer to that question, Ice-T's continuing adventures in "Red Dead Redemption" and how Damon Lindelof spent his college career are the topics of the day in Twitter-Wood for May 20, 2010.

The Lost Awards: Which Of These Is The Coolest Island Location?

Posted 5/20/10 4:10 pm EST by in Commentary, Poll, TV


"Lost" ends this Sunday (May 23), and MTV Movies Blog is celebrating the show's legacy all week long with The Lost Awards, your opportunity to vote on your favorite moments from the hit series! We'll announce new polls every day — so far there's Most Devious Island Dweller, Who's Your Candidate and Most Epic Death — that fans can vote on until Monday (May 24). Winners will be announced that afternoon. Good luck, and as the members of the DHARMA Initiative are so fond of saying, namaste!

The Island of "Lost" is one of the single coolest locations in the history of science fiction. The stories, characters, creatures, whispers and wildlife certainly help to make the Island such a cool place, but there's another component — the sub-locations. After all, where else can you stumble upon a time-traveling donkey wheel in the middle of a jungle?

Of course, there are many cool locations on the Island. But which one is the coolest? That's a choice we're leaving up to you! Check out the nominees for Coolest Island Location after the jump, then vote for your favorite in our poll! Read More...

'Get Him To The Greek' Star Diddy Is A Bit Gassy

Posted 5/20/10 3:45 pm EST by in Humor, Video


I'm writing this from JFK airport as I'm about to journey to the second leg of what will be a three city tour with the cast of "Get Him to the Greek"--namely Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, and Sean Combs. You see, the comedy plays very much as a road movie crossed with "My Favorite Year," so I'm hitting three of the towns visited in "Greek": NYC (not too hard since I live there), Las Vegas, and LA.

"My Favorite Year" may have had Peter O'Toole, but as I recall no one stole scenes with the fervor that Sean "Diddy" Combs does in this. I know. I was shocked too. But trust me, pound for pound he's delivered the funniest performance of the year so far.

I sat down with Diddy yesterday and he gave me a sense of what's to come in our travels together. Stay tuned. Vegas is next!

'Harry Potter' And 'Percy Jackson' Unite: Emma Watson And Logan Lerman In Talks For 'Wallflower'

Posted 5/20/10 2:59 pm EST by in News


The stars of "Harry Potter" and "Percy Jackson" may soon share the screen. Emma Watson and Logan Lerman are in talks to star in an indie drama adaptation of "Perks of Being a Wallflower." The book's author, Stephen Chbosky, wrote the script and will direct himself. If cast, this would mark the first live-action feature outside the "Potter" universe for Watson, who leads the cast as know-it-all-wizard Hermione Granger. Lerman, who was rumored to be in the running to star in the coming "Spider-Man" reboot, was recently cast as d'Artagnan in Paul WS Anderson's treatment of "The Three Musketeers." For more details, check out the full story on Variety.

The 'Lost' Sideways Universe Could Produce Some Great Spinoff TV Shows!

Posted 5/20/10 1:32 pm EST by in Commentary, Humor, Photos, TV


The final season of "Lost" has come under some controversy for the introduction of the flash-sideways narrative device. Whereas previous seasons have flashed backwards and forwards in time, this season switches between the main Island plot and a sideways universe where Oceanic Flight 815 never crashed and landed safely in Los Angeles.

Although the sideways world has proven divisive amongst fans, there's no arguing that it's prompted some serious spinoff potential for when "Lost" ends. After the jump, check out five sideways stories we would love to see continued in their own spinoff television shows! Read More...

J.J. Abrams To Produce Sci-Fi Heist Flick From 'Field Of Dreams' Writer/Director Phil Alden Robinson

Posted 5/20/10 1:01 pm EST by in News


J.J. Abrams is constantly busy with more projects than there are stars in the sky, so what's one more? Especially when that one more comes from "Sneakers" and "Field of Dreams" writer/director Phil Alden Robinson? The mega-producer, who is currently busy with his Steven Spielberg homage, "Super 8," has given Robinson the task of scripting a film based on the Wired magazine article "The Untold Story of the World’s Biggest Diamond Heist," by Joshua Davis. There's no word on who will direct, but given Robinson's history, I would say he's a likely candidate. Certainly moreso than the perpetually busy Abrams. Check out the full story on The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog.

Megan Fox And 'Transformers 3': Should Shia LaBeouf Take Note?

Posted 5/20/10 11:51 am EST by in Commentary


I opened my RSS feed this morning in the wake of yesterday's shocking "Transformers 3"/Megan Fox revelations and spotted an interesting response from Deadline's Mike Fleming. Basically he contends that Fox's absence from the third "Transformers" flick, which many attribute to the troubled professional relationship between the actress and series director Michael Bay, should serve as a warning sign to series star Shia LaBeouf.

For those who are confused, LaBeouf made some controversial statements in the past week while promoting his work on "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" at Cannes Film Festival. First he spoke out about last year's sequel, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," saying that he "wasn't impressed" with it because "the heart was gone." He then made similar comments about "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," that he "dropped the ball on the legacy." From Fleming's perspective, Shia's statements put him dangerously close to following his former co-star Fox out the door. Read More...
