FROM MTV.COM: You'd be hard-pressed to find three more fun, bubbly, beautiful blondes than Anna Faris, Amy Poehler and Christina Applegate. This week, millions will go and see their new movie, but not actually see them. Or really hear them — at least not their God-given voices.

The ladies, who play the Chipettes in "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel," say the film is a unique opportunity for an actor to infuse a character solely with personality, unencumbered by the usual limitations of voice and physicality. Such lofty thoughts, however, went right out the window when we recently sat down with Poehler and Applegate, two good friends who could barely contain their laughter long enough to give us their thoughts on the sexiest Chipmunk, their old-tim

Remember kids, the truth is always far, far stranger than fiction. It was a little more than a year ago that we found out the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon series "Yogi Bear" would be getting a big screen treatment. There was no casting announced or anything like that; just that the project was happening with "Surf's Up" director Ash Brannon at the helm and that it would feature a mix of live-action and CG animation.

Well today, the plot thickened. Variety reports that Anna Faris, Justin Timberlake and Dan Aykroyd are all in negotiations to join the cast of the movie, which will now be directed by "Journey to the Center of the Earth" helmer Eric Brevig from a script by Brad Copeland ("Wild Hogs"). Read more...

If there's one thing cool about Comic-Con, it's the hugely eclectic group of celebrities that the event attracts. Case in point the stars of the upcoming animated comedy "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," the lovely Anna Faris, "SNL" star Andy Samberg and "Role Models" rookie Bobbe Thompson.

The trio agreed to snap a photo in our booth, and it's below for your viewing pleasure. Don't forget to click here to browse the rest of our photo booth gallery, which includes Natasha Henstridge and Stan Lee.

Recently, we broke the news that Anna Faris, Christina Applegate and Amy Poehler would be voicing the Chipettes in December’s “Alvin and the Chipmunks” sequel. So naturally when we caught up with Faris recently, we got the “House Bunny” star to squeal on all the details.

“I’m a Chipette!” she said excitedly. “And they make my voice sound even more annoying than it already is.” Read more...

Ever since we broke the news that the sequel to the smash flick “Alvin and the Chipmunks” would be introducing the Chipettes, we’ve been working to uncover the top-secret identities of the girlfriend trio that will make sweet music alongside Alvin, Simon and Theodore. Recently, Justin Long revealed to us that two of the gals will be voiced by Anna Faris and Christina Applegate. Now, we finally know the identity of that mysterious third Chipette.

Number three is Amy Poehler, as revealed to us by “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” star Zachary Levi when we caught up with him on the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday. Read more...

An annual ritual occurred today at Universal’s Gibson Amphitheatre, as we continued the countdown to Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards: The placing of the seat cards. Accordingly, Frankie Delgado and Stephanie Pratt from "The Hills" were in the house, eager to check out their placement – as well as that of all the other major stars.

"At the Movie Awards, there is assigned seating," grinned Frankie, one of one of our MTV Movie Awards weekend guest hosts. "I'm next to my buddy Brody Jenner. But I think I'm gonna look for a better seat!"

As Frankie wandered among the sea of white cardboard placards – each bearing a photo and the name of a star – several potential storylines emerged: Read more...

When we first broke the news back in January 2008 that the follow-up to the smash film “Alvin and The Chipmunks” would feature the Chipettes, hundreds of fans weighed in with their eagerness to see Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor. In the months since, rumors have run amok with various female names who could be providing their high-pitched voices, including Miley Cyrus, Joanna “JoJo” Levesque and Drew Barrymore.

Yesterday, we caught up with Alvin himself: Mr. Justin Long. And he gave us some big news on two of the famous females who’ll be loaning their vocal talents to the December follow-up. Read more...

It’s a film modeled after such instant classics as "American Graffiti" and "Dazed and Confused." It features big names like Topher Grace, Anna Faris and Michelle Trachtenberg. So, why haven’t we seen "Kids in America" yet?

If you’re looking for the answer, you might want to start inside Dan Fogler’s nose.

"That is called 'Young Americans' now," the "Balls of Fury" funnyman told me recently when I asked what had happened to the hilarious-looking film whose set I visited in early 2007. "I think that is going to open this year…there’s a lot of talk about it now, but nothing is solidified." Read more...

After years of endearing herself to us as the scene-stealer in such films as “The Hot Chick,” “Made in Translation” and “Waiting,” Anna Faris finally broke through with her first non-“Scary Movie” hit as a lead actress last summer. And since the film was such a pleasant surprise hit, we had to wonder: Does Faris have plans to play “The House Bunny” once again?

“I hope so,” the 32-year-old beauty told us of her desire to bring back sexy, ditzy, inspirational centerfold Shelley Darlingson. Read more...

At the Screen Actor's Guild Awards in January, Angelina Jolie wore her blue Max Azria gown backwards. On purpose! Us Weekly reported that the intent was to make the dress more "blouson" ... and it also happened to show off her tattoos more effectively, but I'm sure that had nothing to do with it.

Last night, Anna Faris showed up at the
premiere of her film "Observe and Report," and upon seeing the photos, I immediately assumed she had pulled an Angelina and turned her dress around too. The skin-bearing, deep purple gown could not have been meant to look that way, could it? (Check out the back and front of Anna Faris' dress after the jump, and check out the whole gallery from the "Observe and Report" premiere.) Read more...
