The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards means tons of celebrity interviews, but it's also a chance for the glitterati to meet their peers. What you didn't see on TV was Kanye West and Amber Rose hugging Lady Gaga, Lyor Cohen greeting Timbaland and -- in the video below -- the mega meeting of Swizz Beatz, Kid Cudi and Fonzworth Bentley. The three talk about Jay-Z, Bentley's shoes and fashion. Bentley had a great time ribbing -- literally ribbing -- Jack Black and his choice of outfits.

Rumor alert! You've been warned; continue reading at your own risk. The rumblings around the Internets indicate that fans who have been patiently waiting for word from Guillermo del Toro on "The Hobbit" will get their wish next week at San Diego Comic-Con. We already learned from the director during a recent interview that he is "very close" to announcing his pint-sized lead. Next week would certainly fall into the bounds of "very close."

The Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex blog mentions that David Tennant, James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe are all rumored to be up for the role. To me, Radcliffe seems like a longshot at best. While I'm sure the legions of "Harry Potter" fans out there would like to see The Boy Who Lived wear the One Ring, my guess is that the still-young actor may want to break away from the fantasy mold once J.K. Rowling's series is complete. Then again, there are those many millions of basically assured "Hobbit" dollars to consider.... Read more...

Last weekend, MTV's Josh Horowitz sat down with "Year One" stars Jack Black and Michael Cera for an interview. Many things were discussed, including birthdays, pre-history survival tips and -- everyone's favorite topic -- "Heavy Metal." Josh also asked Black about the recent talk surrounding him and a certain "Star Trek" director.

What talk am I referring to, you ask? It wasn't much really. Some rumors popped up that Black and Abrams had discussed the possibility of the actor stepping into the still-unwritten "Star Trek" sequel as Harry Mudd. AICN debunked the Mudd rumor, but gleaned no further information. That's where the below clip comes in: the discussions involved Black doing a musical comedy which Abrams will produce. Watch for the (admittedly brief) details.

FROM MTV.COM: Remember "Land of the Lost"? The Will Ferrell movie? Came out two weeks ago? Right, that one. Do you think there's still room in the tank to which that picture was instantly consigned for the new "Year One," another prehistoricky gagfest with not a gray cell in its tiny noggin? Good dumb comedies, from Jerry Lewis' "The Bellboy" to Jim Carrey's "Dumb and Dumber," have always been a pleasure. This isn't one of those, though. The movie was directed by Harold Ramis, who's done some very funny films (think "Groundhog Day"), and it numbers raunch king Judd Apatow among its producers. That might seem a match made in comedy heaven, and you might expect the picture to kill. But it overkills, in an altogether underwhelming way. Even with the customary complement of Apatow veterans on hand — stars Jack Black and Michael Cera, with Paul Rudd, Bill Hader, and Ramis himself wandering through — the movie tuckers us out.

We have a really great Movies Editor here at MTV. Armed with the knowledge that "Year One" stars Jack Black and Michael Cera have summer birthdays, Josh Horowitz showed up for his junket interview packing heat. And by heat, I mean a box of cupcakes and the most kickass birthday hat you've ever seen.

Seriously. It's pink, it's got fake candles and it's shaped like a cross between a crown and a cake. To Cera's credit, he realized that only one person present could pull off such a look. Or maybe he just wisely concluded what wearing such a thing could do to his career. Watch the video below, then check out more of Josh's hilarious interview with Black and Cera at MTV.com.

Here is an excerpt from the below video, which I think should really be left to speak for itself:

Michael Cera: "Everyone else would be terrified of us."
Jack Black: "They'd be terrified of us... but... they would also just kill us. Right away."

"Year One" stars Jack Black and Michael Cera. Two funny guys. Dead at the hands of neanderthals, sure. But that's only because they wouldn't understand the jokes. Head over to MTV.com to catch the rest of MTV Rough Cut: Jack Black and Michael Cera.

I've got every intention of getting out of the house this weekend to see "Moon." "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" certainly appeals to the action blockbuster maniac in me, but from what I hear Duncan Jones' sci-fi head trip is where it's at.

Since I really like to reach for content here on MTV Movies Blog, and since this video is so amusing, here's another moon for you to check out. This one doesn't feature Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey, and it's a bit blurry, but you do get Jack Black and Kyle Gass -- aka Tenacious D -- chatting it up with Shaquille O'Neal. Wondering where the moon fits in? Watch the video and see for yourself.

FROM SPLASH PAGE: How do you up the ante when you already have three of the hottest directors on the planet locked, loaded and ready for your film? In the case of "Heavy Metal," you bring aboard yet another fan-favorite filmmaker and a world-famous musician-actor hybrid.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" co-creator Kevin Eastman, also the owner and publisher of "Heavy Metal" magazine, has announced that "Avatar" director James Cameron and Tenacious D rocker Jack Black are joining the ranks of "Heavy Metal," the multi-directorial comic book adaptation from the likes of Zack Snyder, Gore Verbinski and David Fincher (who will also serve as an executive producer).

If you thought it was strange when you learned that Jack Black and Micheal Cera had a baby together, watch the proud parents explain how their son Andy Samberg came to be in this. It all leads up to the MTV Movie Awards on May 31, hosted by Samberg and featuring musical performances from Eminem and more.

The cavemen era seems ripe for comedy but surprisingly little has come by way of Hollywood. That's about to change when Harold Ramis unleashes "Year One," a primitive-themed comedy starring Jack Black and Michael Cera as two hunter-gatherers banished from their village. The two begin a road trip across the ancient world and, naturally, hilarity ensues.

Take a look at our exclusive clip from the film below (or watch in HD here), and then click here to read our "Year One" preview as part of our Summer Movie Preview Week. "Year One" hits theaters June 19.
