Well Lady Gaga was a man named Jo Calderone who tried to kiss Britney Spears, Beyonce announced she was preggers with Jay-Z's baby and we finally saw a trailer for the highly-anticipated "Hunger Games."
But before the party even kicked off, Hill walked the red carpet and chatted with MTV News about finally getting "21 Jump Street" into theaters next year. And, despite everything we know, he still refused to admit that the original "21 Jump Street" star, Johnny Depp, is in it.

Disney's dance with "The Lone Ranger" just keeps getting trickier.
Deadline reports that Disney must accept the $215 million-ish budget that director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer are presenting, or move forward without Verbinski... and, by extension, without Johnny Depp, who reportedly won't shoot the film without Verbinski behind the camera. Disney originally pulled the plug on "The Lone Ranger" because the budget got a bit too out of control, though last we heard they were negotiating.
