"Hills" star Lo Bosworth has had a busy week as one of the MTV Movie Awards weekend guest hosts, getting styled and seeing all the action that takes place behind the scenes at the Gibson Amphitheatre. And now she can check one more item off her bucket list: having her picture taken by our Fashion 360 red-carpet camera.
The reality star told MTV News she'd really like to see Zac Efron get his picture taken by the 48 cameras that capture an image and take a 3-D picture of the subject. Lo got her photo taken by throwing popcorn in the air and posing with her arms up.
"I see it right there. I think it's so cool," she said after seeing the photo on the screen on the red carpet. "I never thought it would turn out so good. Read more...
FROM THE NEWSROOM: I was always told that it's good to cry, because it helps to release a lot of built-up emotions. It makes it even more gratifying when you cry because you're laughing so hard.
That happened today when I talked to Andy Samberg as he prepares for his hosting gig for the MTV Movie Awards. We met up at the back of the Gibson Amphitheatre on the Universal Studios lot. This is the area where the limos pick up the stars when the show is over. There is also a patio where the stars come to mingle and do press when the festivities end.

FROM NEWSROOM: Frankie Delgado isn't taking his new gig as MTV Movie Awards weekend guest host lightly. The "Hills" star showed up to the morning news meeting ready to learn everything he can from the best in the business — Sway and Tim Kash — about how to be an on-air personality.

Newcomers may not realize it, but the "Star Trek" franchise is rife with some truly bizarre casting choices, particularly within the film series. Kirstie Alley, John Larroquette, Alan Ruck, Kim Cattrall, F. Murray Abraham… lots of folks you wouldn’t necessarily expect to see popping up in a sci-fi feature, particularly one with "Trek’s" devoted fanbase.
J.J. Abrams’ just-released "Star Trek" continues on in the same tradition, with a number of the director’s friends and colleagues appearing in various extraneous roles. Read more...
As you may have noticed, a recent wave roared across the Internet when countless news outlets began picking up on “Twilight Sucks,” a website that has begun cataloguing tales of violence between fans of “Twilight” and those who aren’t as enamored with the words of Stephenie Meyer.
Luckily, we kind of pride ourselves around here on bringing you news, rather than just being the umpteenth-million website to echo it. And since the majority of the tales told on “Twilight Sucks” seem phony, and are virtually impossible to corroborate, we’re not going to bother repeating them. If you want to read tales of ninja-star-attacks, feel free to look elsewhere.
Instead, I was hoping to appeal to the very-real fanbase we’ve come to know and love over the past year-and-a-half of covering “Twilight” so intensely here at MTV, as well as those who’ve posted comments voicing their distaste for the series (as they have every right to do). Read more...
I should probably confess this now: I’m terrified of horror movies. I think it has something to do with a traumatic basement viewing of “Nightmare on Elm Street” when I was in the first grade. So when my bosses at MTV News asked if I wanted to be in a horror movie, I thought they had to be joking. Then it occurred to me that perhaps the universe was issuing a challenge to an unsuspecting entertainment journalist: get over it dude! Read more...
When "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" hit theaters last year, there was one person very clearly absent from the film.
Sure, George Lucas was able to bring back Harrison Ford to play the whip-slinging, womanizing archaeologist. He was even able to find a place for Indy's old flame, Marion Ravenswood, played by Karen Allen. And yes, Lucas even brought in some new blood, with Cate Blanchett as a cold-blooded Soviet and Shia LaBeouf as Indy's sassy son, Mutt.
But Lucas wasn't able to get Sir Sean Connery to reprise his role as Indy's dad, Henry Jones Sr. So, Lucas killed him off and has Indy mention it somewhere along the way in "Crystal Skull." Read more...
Day Two of my visit to the set of Rob Zombie's "H2: Halloween 2” starts out earnestly enough. I park my rental car in a rural Georgia town and approach the building where the crew will be shooting a large Halloween rave. That it was a Rob Zombie film became quickly evident when I encountered my first evil clown.

Hundreds of extras were gathered for what's probably the film's largest single shoot, each dressed in a unique outfit and adoirned in body paint and intricately applied make-up. Read more...
I've arrived in Covington, Georgia, and the population appears to be me plus the motel staff. I've flown in from New York City to visit the set of director Rob Zombie's sequel to his 2007 "Halloween." The film is apparently titled "H2: Halloween 2," which seems repetitive. I make a note to mention that to Rob when I see him tomorrow.
Rob's band White Zombie was a staple of my high school soundtrack so I'm excited to meet him. His episode of Jon Favreau's "Dinner For Five" -- with fellow guests Bruce Campbell, Roger Corman and Faizon Love (?) -- is spectacularly entertaining, and my favorite of the series. Drenched in tattoos, Rob's always looked like an intimidating figure but I've heard he's one of the nicest guys around. And while his "House of 1000 Corpses" and its sophomore follow-up "The Devil's Rejects" were a bit hardcore for my tastes, I've always respected that he's a man with a vision.
My call-time to the set is 1pm. I'm told I'll be observing the filming of a large scene involving 250 extras. Along with Rob, I'll also be speaking to castmembers...I silently hope Margot Kidder -- just added to the roster -- is one of them. It's nearly 8pm now so I'm off to hunt for nightlife. Either that or take a nap, whichever comes first. Stay tuned tomorrow when I report back from the set.
Summit Entertainment just released the new trailer for their upcoming horror flick "Sorority Row," and I gotta say — I think it looks kind of awesome. Is that just me?
The movie stars Briana Evigan ("Step Up 2: The Streets"), Leah Pipes, Rumer Willis and our very own "Hills" star Audrina Patridge. (Also in the film? Carrie Fisher, which is incredible.) In the film, a remake of "The House on Sorority Row," a group of sorority sisters accidentally cause the death of one of their own in a prank gone really, really badly. And if you watch the trailer, you see that — spoiler alert! — Audrina is unfortunately the one that gruesomely bites the dust. (Watch the trailer after the jump.) Read more...
