I really don't have much to say as a lead-in for this video, other than that it's hilarious. Vince Vaughn and Malin Akerman, Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell, Jon Favreau and Kristin Davis... three of the four pairings in "Couples Retreat" field trivia questions about one another from MTV Movies editor Josh Horowitz. The results are hilarious... and surprisingly dirty.

Do you like to laugh? At juvenile sex humor, specifically. Because that's what this video serves up, in big, steaming spoonfuls. "Couples Retreat" stars Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell know each other pretty well, "up until the point of insertion," Bell said. The following video is a series of hilarious outtakes from the time MTV Movies editor Josh Horowitz spent in Bora Bora with the stars of this week's "Couples Retreat."

Head over to MTV.com for Eric Ditzian's full transcription of the outtakes. You can also check out more video from Bora Bora in our "Couples Retreat" Rough Cut.

Yesterday was the big interview day at the “Couples Retreat” junket in Bora Bora. It was also a big day for the South Pacific mosquitoes to discover how tasty I could be. I have a feeling they’ll miss my sweet flesh more than I’ll miss the postcard perfect vistas here. But you don’t want to hear the whining of a guy working in Bora Bora. The day was unique for a variety of reasons. In keeping with the theme of my post the other day I’ll share with you some more useful life lessons I picked up. Read more...

So it would seem the poor economy hasn't quite hit our friends at Universal Pictures. Exhibit A: I'm in Bora Bora. That's right, a few hours ago I finished a long trek that began in New York, took me to LA, then to Papeete via Air Tahiti (duh), on a connecting flight to Bora Bora, and finally a little boat ride to our absurdly idyllic backdrop for the junket that's about to get underway.

What movie is Universal shelling out this kind of cash for? Why "Couples Retreat" of course! Take a little "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," throw a dash of Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau and what do ya know?!? So for the next few days intrepid MTV News producer Vanessa White Wolf and I will be here in a world an awfully long way from our Times Square home to soak up the sights and sounds and have a little fun chatting with the stars in some stupendously cool environs. Oh, and we'll make our co-workers in New York hate us as they never have before. (Editor's note: Already there, Josh. Already there.) Read more...

As you may recall from yesterday's Twitter-Wood, John Stamos called upon one of his Twitter fans to post a photo of his alleged Uncle Jesse-based tattoo. Well today that tweeter responded in kind, and the wrist tattoos are linked to at the top of the report for all to see now.

In other tweets, Robert Rodriguez gleefully celebrated his confirmed actors for "Machete," calling out Jessica Alba and Robert De Niro. As it turns out, the director has his own Twitter fan in Dane Cook, who's read the script. Kristen Bell, meanwhile, claims to have been reading "hacked" tweets coming out of her account. In what may be a related event, Dax Shepard called out a poser using the fake name @IMkristenBeII (note how two upper case i's can resemble two lowercase L's), who tried to break up with him. You can check out all that drama and more below. I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is the Twitter-Wood report for August 27, 2009. Read more...

Miley CyrusIt may come to you as no surprise that Kristen Bell is a huge George Carlin fan. But did you know that she once co-composed a musical based on his comedy? The Twitter-Wood feed picked up a few details about her un-produced masterpiece today, and I have to say, someone should get that on stage -- soon!

Other Twitter-Wood revelations included Rose McGowan's willingness to appear on "Mad Men" -- yet another move I would support! Several other tweets may be slightly less shocking -- for instance, that Tom Felton's hair-dying adventures have resumed, or that Kevin Nealon makes jokes about Kim Jong Il. You'll understand when you read today's Twitter-Wood report below. But first, for those of us out there without ready access to a beach, here's Miley Cyrus laughing in our faces in the Twitter Pic of the Day. Read more...

Kristen BellWith any luck, Tom Felton's Twitter application of choice will follow him over the border into the United States as he heads to the New York premiere for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." He posted another pic in the Twitter-Wood feed today to announce that he is heading south for his next stop on the premiere circuit.

Newcomer to our feed Kristen Bell vehemently defended her authenticity today, so I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt that this recommendation for "My Sister's Keeper" is for real. Mandy Moore also tweeted in with her reactions to "The King of Kong." She actually split her thoughts over two tweets, so I stitched them together for your reading convenience. Click on down and you'll find these fine critiques along with John Favreau's early morning Mexican cravings and Rainn Wilson's run-in with George Foreman. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for July 9, 2009! Read more...

My position during the show was the limo drop, which is where the stars go when they leave the show and hop into their ride. During the show but after all his hilarity, Sacha Baron Cohen was sitting in the back of a black SUV with the window rolled down. His head disappeared from view, which is really not a surprising occurrence, until the body that replaced his was Jim Carrey. I'm assuming they must have traded seats in the car.

Off to the side, Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell were talking amongst themselves, when suddenly Dax ran over to the Jim-Sacha car and reached in to hug Jim Carrey and wave to Sacha, now sitting on the other side of the car. Read more...

Since "Veronica Mars" ended its run in 2007, fans of the much-loved teen-detective series have been waiting anxiously for the show to make its big return in the form of a movie. Creator Rob Thomas (no, not the guy from Matchbox 20) promised the show's cult fanbase that one day, he would bring the feisty private investigator to the big screen

The show's star, Kristen Bell, is also hoping the movie will finally come together. "I cannot give you an update, but I will tell you we're trying to make it happen," she told MTV News on the set of Thomas' new project, "Party Down," a comedy series airing on the Starz channel about aspiring actors/ cater waiters, for which Bell was filming a cameo. "When making a movie, there are a lot of different entities that have to be involved — mainly money."

From the set of "Party Down," where many of her "Veronica Mars" castmates have found jobs, she added, "As soon as all that is assembled, I know that everyone is excited and ready to go. We just have to pull it together. ... Rob left here to go meet with [producer] Joel [Silver], so we'll see." Read more...

Krysten RitterContributed by Silas Lesnick

Though Krysten Ritter hits the big screen in February's "Confessions of a Shopaholic," a lot of fans remember her best from her continuing role on "Veronica Mars" as Gia Goodman, a part she says she'd love to return to if the long-rumored "Mars" film ever hits the big screen.

Appearing throughout most of the second of the season, Gia was a one-time friend to Veronica who broke off the friendship when Veronica began investigating Gia's father, baseball team owner Woody Goodman.

Though Krysten's character sort of disappeared as Veronica left for college in season three, she remained a fan-favorite. A potential "Mars" movie was news to Gia, but she was quick to announce her willingness to participate. Read more...
