MTV Movie Awards Presenters Announced!

Posted 5/8/07 4:05 pm EST by in MTV Movie Awards, News


I almost went with the headline, "Samuel L. Jackson and Ioan Gruffudd together at last", but thought better of it.

Yes, the first round of presenters were announced today for the MTV Movie Awards. Now maybe I'm just biased but this sounds like a great lineup! Alright, I'm totally biased. Look at name of the site you're on!

Enough of this hogwash, you want names! And names you shall have. Here's who you can look forward to seeing on this year's MTV Movie Awards (coming at ya June 3rd!)...

Jessica Alba, Josh Duhamel, Samuel L. Jackson, Amanda Bynes, Chris Tucker, Katherine Heigl, Seth Rogen, Shia LaBeouf, Michael Chiklis, John Travolta, Zac Efron, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Evans and Ioan Gruffudd.

But wait, there's more! Even better than a Ron Popeil food dehydrator I am going to throw in the news of who the performers are going to be. Come the night of June 3rd, you'll be able to check out live performances of Rihanna in tandem with Jay-Z as well as Amy Winehouse in a rare live performance. Did you hear that, Oscars? The gauntlet has been thrown DOWN!

Rutger Hauer And Me: A Short But Sweet Story

Posted 5/8/07 2:15 pm EST by in Behind The Scenes


I'm kind of obsessed with Rutger Hauer. I mean..."Ladyhawke"?!? "Blade Runner"?!? Umm...did I mention "Ladyhawke"?!?

So when the opportunity came to talk to Rutger about his new autobiography, "All Those Moments," you can bet I swung into action like Navarre saving Isabeau (did I mention I like "Ladyhawke"?).

Soon enough you'll see a bunch from our extensive chat in which we ran through much of the man's storied career. But for now, a couple choice photos from his visit will have to do. By the way, how's this for an actual quote Rutger said to me after the interview: "you really got to my heart." Yeah! Hear that, James Lipton?!?

Anna Paquin Sinks Her Teeth Into TV

Posted 5/7/07 5:02 pm EST by in News


Anna Paquin may have been hyping her first producing venture last week at Tribeca (the Breckin Meyer starring "Blue State"), but she had vampires on the brain when she talked to MTV.

Speaking about "True Blood," her new HBO show from "Six Feet Under" creator Alan Ball, the "X-Men" star gushed, "It's an incredible pilot. It takes place in a fictionalized time where vampires have integrated themselves into society. They've come out of the coffin so to speak. There's this Japanese company that's created this synthetic blood so that the vampires can live in normal society without killing people."

Paquin, however, is not one of the undead in the show. She described her character as "a waitress gal who can read everybody's mind and she's really isolated because it's really weird and creepy to know what everyone's thinking. It starts out with her meeting her first vampire. It's totally wacky and out there."

Paquin admitted she doesn't know the fate of the series. "I don't know what the process is, to be perfectly honest. I've never done [television] before," she said.
