Exclusive 'Ted' Photo: Foul-Mouthed Teddy Bear Up To His Old Tricks

Posted 4/18/12 2:34 pm EST by in Photos


If parents (who clearly haven't watched the trailer) were tricked into thinking "Ted" would be a cute family film about Mark Wahlberg and his cuddly teddy, this new photo will clear up their confusion.

Ted

The comedy centers on John Bennett (Wahlberg) as a 35-year-old who just can't seem to let go of his childhood best friend—a crude, real-life, talking teddy bear that he wished into existence. The photo shows exactly what we'd expect from the characters: John and Ted hanging out at the kitchen table with beer bottles in close range. A closer look at the background shows a few empty bottles, chips and a pizza box strewn about the messy TV table. Parents, trust us, this is one movie you'll want to see without the kids.

Let us know what you think of the photo in the comments and on Twitter!

Ashton Kutcher Suffers From 'The Butterfly Effect': Sick Day Stash

Posted 4/18/12 11:00 am EST by in Sick Day Stash


It's no surprise that Apple fans are hesitant to believe Ashton Kutcher can pull off the role of the company's co-founder Steve Jobs. His boyish good looks and goofy personality lean more toward projects like his past roles in "That 70's Show" and "Dude, Where's My Car?"

But the Jobs biopic producer, Mark Hulme, told The Hollywood Reporter that Kutcher has the "psychological complexity" needed for the role, and it instantly struck a chord in my memory re: Kutcher's psychological thriller, "The Butterfly Effect." So, grab some Kleenex and a big glass of orange juice as we continually travel in time with Kutcher in today's Sick Day Stash.

Alice Eve Talks 'Star Trek' Makeup, Working With Benedict Cumberbatch

Posted 4/17/12 3:15 pm EST by in Interviews, News


Little is known about Alice Eve's character in "Star Trek 2" beyond the fact that she's new to the "Trek" universe. If there's anything we've learned about the ultra-secretive production it's that we aren't likely to get any new details about the flick from the stars, so MTV News decided to go a different route when chatting with Eve recently about her role.

Instead of asking her about who she plays or what her purpose is in the "Trek 2" storyline -- both things we're desperate to know -- we asked Eve how long she's spent getting make-up applied to her on set. Judging by her response, it could be that Eve will be playing one of the film's many alien species.

"I'm a healthy amount of time in the makeup chair -- though not as long as Spock," Eve teased. "We were filming until very late last night, and I know that's all I can say. It's a top-secret operation; it's like a war."
