Bora Bora isn't all sunshine and sandy beaches you know. In the video below, things take a decidedly dark turn after MTV's Josh Horowitz questions "Couples Retreat" star Malin Akerman's claim of perfection. Vince Vaughn, her on-screen hubby, immediately comes to her defense. Sparks fly again between the two shortly afterwards when Josh makes an off-handed remark about feeding manta rays. Or something like that.
Moral of the story? Don't drink with Vince Vaughn and Malin Akerman in paradise. At least not during an on-camera interview.
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.
The big opener for this week is "Couples Retreat," directed by Peter Billingsley. It follows four couples who try to work through relationship issues by bringing their baggage to a resort in French Polynesia. Lots of sun, lots of beach and lots of skin to bare. MTV's Josh Horowitz recently got to speak with one of the couplings, played by Vince Vaughn and Malin Akerman, on location in Bora Bora about baring all.
I totally get Vaughn's car analogy, both as a Long Island native and an out-of-shape computer geek. The human body is indeed like an automobile, and it's always a bad idea to put too much strain on your car.

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...
When I saw Malin Akerman on the Movie Awards red carpet on Sunday night, she looked amazing. She wore a white pants suit with a pastel cami under the jacket. Very sleek. Well the actress outdid herself the following night, at yesterday's premiere for her new film "The Proposal."
Sunday's look had included some slicked hair, but Monday's 'do was much more feminine. Loose, wavy and maybe even a little bedhead, Malin's hair looked great with her short, shiny blue dress. The ensemble was a far cry from her skin tight "Watchmen" getup, but just as sexy. (Check out a shot of Malin Akerman after the jump, plus check out our "Proposal" premiere photo gallery.)

FROM SPLASH PAGE: Recently, the Interwebs exploded with talk that director Zack Snyder might consider a move many fanboys would find nothing short of blasphemy: Shooting a sequel to the “Watchmen” movie that hits theaters next month.
The good news is that Snyder insists "Watchmen 2" will never happen; the better news is that actress Malin Akerman is among the many stars of the film who’d also likely say "no" to the idea.
“It would be interesting to see,” guessed the actress, who plays Silk Spectre II in the film. “But I don’t really know how [a sequel] would ever be possible. Because ‘Watchmen’ is ‘Watchmen,’ and we covered pretty much the whole novel.”
Read more about Malin Akerman's thoughts on the "Watchmen 2" rumors over at SplashPage.MTV.com.
Wow, what a life Malin Akerman has. She's one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood, she recently got to suit up as Silk Spectre for the "Watchmen" movie - and now, she just got back from Bora Bora, where she's been getting paid to hang out with Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau.
"I’m barely keeping up," laughed the actress, who transformed into a brunette for the role in the film about clashing couples at a vacation resort. "It's called 'Couples Retreat,' and it’s going to be coming out next year, probably late summer. We’re just finishing that up; we’ve been working on that for the past two months." Read more...
FROM SPLASH PAGE: As “Watchmen” mania reaches a fever pitch, Warner Bros. has given MTV Splash Page a first look at another in their series of character-centric teaser posters, this time featuring Malin Akerman as Silk Spectre II (and be sure to watch MTV's "Spoilers" this Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT for an exclusive preview of "Watchmen"!).
So far, we’ve seen posters featuring the demise of The Comedian as well as one starring a brooding Rorschach, and now fans get to see the Silk Spectre doing what she does best — looking dangerously sexy!
To see the poster in full, or to catch up on the latest comic book film news, truck on over to MTV Splash Page.
If you are squirming at all the romantic-comedies cast this week, then here's the movie for you. You may remember that Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn were teaming up onscreen again for "Couples Retreat," and were bringing Jason Bateman and Faizon Love along for the ride. Now, they finally have some girls to make up their other halves -- and just when I was thinking Bateman and Favreau looked really cute together.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, they'll be joined by Kristen Bell, Kristen Davis, and Malin Akerman, who will be playing Mrs. Bateman, Mrs. Favreau, and Mrs. Vaughn, respectively. I think those are the three prettiest and funniest couples this side of People Magazine. Poor Faizon Love hasn't had his other half cast yet, but I doubt he'll be left in the lonely cold for too long. Read more...
