These days, Megan Fox’s career is nearly as hot as… well… she is. At the same time, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more desired screenwriter in Hollywood than the Oscar-winning lady behind “Juno,” Diablo Cody. Factor in demon possession, girl-on-girl brawling and Fox in a cheerleading costume, and you can see why “Jennifer’s Body” is looking mighty good.

“I just did ADR on it,” Fox said of the late-stage voiceover work that that marked the end of her role in the film as it enters post-production for a September release. “There’s this scene in a kitchen. I can’t reveal too much -- but it’s the first time you see me cross over from human to whatever this weird thing is that I’ve become. I actually truly frightened myself -- which I’m excited about.” Read more...

The search for the Greatest Movie Badass of All Time is on! MTV News has asked accomplished filmmakers, actors and you, the audience, to vote for your favorites. Now we've tabulated the results and found our 10 finalists for the top spot. Who will reign supreme as the Greatest Badass of All Time? Find out on February 6 at 7:15 p.m. when MTV announces the winner live at New York's Comic-Con and right here at MTV.com.

So with that in mind, we asked Diablo Cody -- the Oscar-winning writer of "Juno" and the upcoming "Jennifer's Body" -- for her list of her 10 favorite movie badasses. Check out her list (and her reasons why) below:

10. Carrie in "Carrie" (Sissy Spacek): This girl geek doesn't just turn the tables — she upends the entire friggin' prom. When one of Carrie's tormenters gets clocked with a fire hose, it's one of the best "hell yeah!" moments in cinema history. And somehow Spacek made a bucket of red corn syrup look like haute couture.

There are certain directors who are living legends walking among us: The Coens, Scorsese, Spielberg. Then there are the fast-risers who will likely be entertaining us for decades to come: Zack Snyder, Judd Apatow. And to that list, we officially have to add one Jason Reitman. And now, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker has revealed exclusively to MTV News what his next project will be. Well, kinda.

"Yeah, I'm writing something," he grinned, cryptically. "I'm going to direct it at the end of the year. And no, I haven't told anyone what it is yet." After a few minutes of poking and prodding, we finally got the Oscar-nominated "Juno" and "Thank You for Smoking Director" to cough up a wee bit more.

"It's a comedy and a drama [book adaptation]," he revealed. "Think 'Thank You for Smoking,' but instead of political it's corporate." Read more...

Jason Bateman looked adorable as ever on the red carpet at last Sunday's Oscars, but the "Juno" star may have been feeling a little self-conscious about his hair. "He's a weirdo with blonde highlights," Bateman rushed, when asked to explain his character Dominic Foy in "State of Play," which is currently filming -- hence, the Seacrest-esque blonde tips.

As fans of the BBC miniseries on which the flick is based, we are tickled by the casting of Bateman as Mr. Foy, a sleazy weasel prone to gaudy fashion staples like fur coats and tinted glasses. If only his character's fashion cues had affected Bateman's red carpet duds as well as his 'do. Read more...

You might remember the recent article we ran that had the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer thanking Page for a shout-out in the hit movie. Needless to say, when we told Page about the message from one of her idols recently, she was beside herself. Read more...
