There's no escaping the phenomenon created by the erotic novel "Fifty Shades of Grey." Beginning as "Twilight" fan fiction, the story follows billionaire tycoon Christian Grey and recent college graduate Ana Steele as they begin their sadomasochistic relationship. With the film's rights optioned by Universal Pictures and Focus Features, fans are wondering if Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will land the lead roles for the characters adapted from Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. Well, the latest After Hours segment, titled "Erotica," may at least help Stewart get the part.

While she said she's interested in reading the sensual fan fiction about her "Twilight" character, she admitted she hasn't gotten around to seeing what the huge buzz is about. "I haven't bought ['Fifty Shades'] yet. I'm kind of dying to read it," she said.

Lucky for Stewart, MTV News' Josh Horowitz just so happened to have a copy on hand and he even generously dog-eared a page for her! She began to read, but not even a sentence in she closed the book and laughed, saying, "I can't believe I'm doing this."

Tom Hiddleston will suit up as Loki again in "The Avengers," out this Friday, and apparently getting back into character wasn’t very difficult for the Brit. As he tells MTV News' Josh Horowitz, he's actually a lot more like the Norse god than we might have realized.

Of course, his catch phrase "Loki'd" isn't quite as intimidating as some of Loki's stunts in "The Avengers," but we'll overlook that for now. Hiddleston decided to show off some of his trickster tendencies around the MTV offices in a new After Hours, with devastating results.

In an age where social media sites rule the internet, the stars have flocked to Twitter in order to promote their latest projects, raise awareness about charities they support and interact with their fans. But some celebrities aren't using the site to its fullest potential.

MTV News' Josh Horowitz thinks Gael Garcia Bernal is one of them. The "Casa de mi Padre" star is about 83,000 followers shy of one million.

When you think of Will Ferrell, his long tenure as the master of over thirty dialects comes to mind first. Only then do you remember the funny man, the comedian from movies like the upcoming "Casa de mi Padre."

In preparation for the film, Mr. Ferrell spoke with dialect novice Josh Horowitz about the process of mastering your accent in a segment we like to call "Mastering Your Accents."

The legend dialectician covers all the topics you need to know about: his long and bitter rivalry with Meryl Streep, his many victories at the Voicey's. You'll even get a chance to hear the story of Mr. Ferrell's humble origins a simple boy doing a near perfect Italian accent.

You'd think that when the answer to all the questions is either "yes" or "no," an interview should always go off without a hitch. But sometimes guests on Josh Horowitz's "After Hours" interview program, "The Yes/No Show," just miss out on opportunities to do awesome pirate accents.

Stopping by "The Yes/No Show" in support of their new movie "Friends With Kids," Adam Scott and Megan Fox took the opportunity to answer a few "simple" questions that are supposed to have "simple" answers.

Lots of weird things happen around MTV Movies headquarters, like Idris Elba whipping our reporters into Olympic-level shape, or a murderous Elijah Wood claiming our offices for his own... but nothing, nothing, compares to what Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim of "Billion Dollar" fame put MTV's Josh Horowitz through at Sundance this past year.

The comedy duo brought all the awkwardness and lunacy they're known for to what was supposed to be a cozy, informative 10-minute chat. Heck, even Will Forte was along for the ride. We should have known that this would not be a straightforward interview. But "not straightforward" doesn't even begin to cover it. The video below is a super-cut of all the awkwardness that ensued when Tim and Eric dropped on our couch. Please enjoy — or as our good friend Tim Heidecker would say, "back to you."

"Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" is available on VOD and playing in select theaters.

It's that time again, folks! We're back for another round of After Hours' "The Yes/No Show," and this time it's starring none other than the famous stars of the upcoming film "The Hunger Games." As you fans of "The Yes/No Show" will know, host Josh Horowitz offers fans an insightful look at their favorite stars that they might not have seen otherwise. The latest victims guests are Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, who are arguably more excited about being on the show than anyone else we've ever seen.

So yes, you can call Lawrence "JLau" and Hutcherson "The Hutch." No, JLau doesn't think she can beat up one of "The Twilight Saga's" vampires. And also -- and perhaps most disturbingly -- both of "The Hunger Games" stars agreed that they would kill and eat Horowitz if they were to face off against him in a future Hunger Games. Maybe he should watch his back in future interviews?

There are many interesting facts about celebrities that won't be learned anywhere other than an MTV After Hours session. The same can be said during the latest "Would You Rather?" edition of MTV's hit segment featuring "Wanderlust" stars Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd. For instance, did you know that Aniston would totally be down to have sex with Megan Fox? Like, without hesitation. Also, where else are you going to see Rudd do a terrible Oprah Winfrey impression? Yes, these are the joys After Hours can provide for you.

Here's a taste of some of the other hard-hitting questions asked in the above video: Would Aniston rather have Justin Bieber or Robert Pattinson portray her in the biopic of her life? Would Rudd rather have sex with Betty White or George Clooney? And would Aniston rather pee or fart every time she laughs? The answers might surprise you. So what are you waiting for? I'm pretty sure we had you had "Aniston would totally be down to have sex with Megan Fox."

Stringer Bell. John Luther. Heimdall. Add Moreau to the mix, and you're looking at some of "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" actor Idris Elba's most recognizable roles to date. But the British actor is more than just a pretty face on the big screen. Indeed, Elba's true passion may very well lie in the realm of fitness instruction... particularly when it involves whipping journalists into superhero shape.

Elba did exactly that in the latest edition of After Hours, turning MTV Movies reporter Josh Horowitz into... well, we don't want to spoil the surprise. Exercise your own capacity for fitness in this instructional video with Elba and Horowitz below.
