Posted 6/1/09 3:17 am EST by in MTV Movie Awards

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.

I'm at the after party and I thought I'd check in with everyone to let you know how the day went. Today I got to do my first ever live TV hit. I've never done anything live before, and I totally almost fell over during my lines, but it turned out to be a run-though. Thank goodness, I panicked for nothing. The actual live hit went really well. Read More...

Tim, Frankie and Sway hung out outside the the Gibson before our tour of the venue.

Inside, the set-build was in full swing. The lights were dim, and the monitors were flashing bright colors, lighting up to room. Read More...

Jolie, Pitt, Pattinson Shine At Cannes 'Inglorious Basterds' Premiere: Red Carpet Recap

Posted 5/22/09 2:00 pm EST by in Photos

Cannes really brings out the best in people. For the past few years, either Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie or both have had high-profile premieres at the film festival, which then becomes the event at Cannes. The couple radiate glamor and grace in a way that no one else does, celeb couple or otherwise, and this year the "Inglorious Basterds" premiere was no different.

At the film premiere, the reigning king and queen of Cannes did not disappoint the hundreds of photographers clamoring to take their picture. Easygoing and poised, the couple looked smashing. Brad wore a traditional bow tie tuxedo, while Angelina chose a pale pink draped dress and bright red lipstick. (Check out photos of the couple plus a bonus shot of Robert Pattinson after the jump, or browse the entire "Inglorious Basterds" premiere photo gallery.) Read More...

Vulcan Salute Is Must Have 'Star Trek' Premiere Accessory: Red Carpet Recap

Posted 5/1/09 5:15 pm EST by in Photos

If you don't have Chris Pine's dreamy baby-blue eyes, the must-have accessory at the "Star Trek" premiere last night was the Vulcan Salute. From supermodels to Spock himself, everyone was waving it around like they were from a Vulcan world themselves.

Of course, Leonard Nimoy and George Takei are old hats at this, so their salutes were flawless. But what about the rest? It turns out, some celebs were better at this than others. Heidi Klum? Expert supermodel-runway-esque salute. Hayden Panettiere? Adorable salute. Simon Pegg and Karl Urban? They sported the "we're stars in this movie, so we'd better have it right" salute.

Tori Spelling made it her own and flashed the Vulcan salute backwards. (Um, ok ... ?) And Christian Slater ... just ... couldn't ... quite ... well, take a peek after the jump. Read More...

'A Matter of Size': A Tribeca Film Festival Review

Posted 5/1/09 3:29 pm EST by in Reviews, Video

On the Line: The buzz has been pretty good, from what I could tell. What's not to love -- it's a story about fat Israelis sumo wrestling, and it's in Hebrew! All of these things combined sound mind-bending.

In the Theater: The film screened in one of the smaller theaters of the multiplex, but I don't think there was a single free seat in the place. Tribeca Film Festival staff had to help stragglers find open seats, and stragglers were pretty much out of luck.

The sum of the picture, as you can imagine from its parts, is pretty hilarious. Instead of tired fat jokes, the dialogue is witty and real. The audience responded, where appropriate, with lots of laughter. You feel for the characters, who overcome personal adversity, fall in love and, yes, play sumo. Read More...

Jessica Biel's 'Easy Virtue': A Tribeca Film Festival Review

Posted 4/29/09 1:57 pm EST by in Reviews, Video

On the Line: I attended an industry screening, but even the press were buzzing about the film. People seemed to be looking forward to "Easy Virtue," but with a cast that includes Jessica Biel, Ben Barnes, Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas, how could you not?

In the Theater: Because it was a press screening and there are a number of them for this film, the screening wasn't packed. There was lots of buzz about who's seen what Tribeca Film Festival films so far, and what's coming up in the next few days. Apparently many writers have been spending endless hours in movie theaters for the past few days, which is bittersweet, considering the fantastic weather New York City has experienced the past few days.

'Burning Down The House: The Story Of CBGB': A Tribeca Film Festival Review

Posted 4/28/09 11:55 am EST by in Reviews, Video

On the Line: Technically, I didn't wait on line. I cheated and got tickets through a very nice publicist working on this film ... not to mention that I arrived just in the nick of time before the lights dimmed. I did, however, arrive early enough to ride the escalator with a woman who was shouting "Yeah, CBGB!" to people she passed.

Thankfully she didn't end up sitting near me once we scrambled to find seats.

In the Theater: The theater was packed. A full house. The look on many people's faces lead me to believe they had been a part of the CBGB scene, and they were excited to see the film. And they had a great time reliving the past on screen. Lots of laughter. Read More...
