Speaking with Tim Kash at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, Lil Wayne revealed that -- surprise, surprise -- his kids are fans of "Twilight." I have to ask, are there any parents these days who don't have Twilighter kids?
The rapper also revealed what his dream film project would be given the opportunity: stepping into Prince's role for a "Purple Rain" remake. I have to echo Tim's sentiment here. Do the remake! Remember, you can head over to MTV.com for more from Lil Wayne, Young Buck and others on this week's episode of Mixtape Daily!
By the time most of you see the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards, it's littered with celebrities, reporters, flashing cameras, microphone wires and all other manner of madness. As you might expect, bringing all of that chaos into one place requires a good bit of setup. Days, in fact. It's a cool thing to watch when a big production like this comes together, but most of us don't have the time to sit and observe. Good thing for you then that we've put together this little video, a timelapse runthrough of the Movie Awards red carpet setup and breakdown. Unsurprisingly, pulling it all apart takes much quicker than putting it together. Don't take my word for it though; see for yourself!
We keep hearing sudden bursts of news about Will Smith’s remake of “The Karate Kid,” then the project seems to quiet down for awhile. Now, a new actor has signed on to star alongside Smith’s son and she’s a red-hot Oscar nominee coming off “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”
“I’m off to Beijing [soon] to work on a film,” actress Taraji P. Henson revealed to us Sunday afternoon on the red carpet of the MTV Movie Awards. “They’re remaking ‘The Karate Kid.’” Read more...
What goes on backstage at the MTV Movie Awards when celebrities from different worlds mingle? Pretty much what you'd expect, apparently: A lot of hand-shaking and picture-taking.
At least, that's what happened when "Land of the Lost" stars Will Ferrell and Danny McBride encountered the musicians from Kings of Leon backstage during this year's show. There was some shaking of hands, some mutual appreciation, and of course, some stroking of fake cats. (Okay, so maybe that last bit isn't exactly the norm.)

If the MTV Movie Awards was a prize fight, "Twilight" actor Cam Gigandet would now have to be introduced as "winner and two-time champion" when it came to the show's Best Fight category. Gigandet and fellow "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson took home the award for the year's best brawl, thanks to their vampire-on-vampire tussle in the hit film -- marking the second year in a row that Gigandet received the honor.

A new clip from "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" debuted tonight during the MTV Movie Awards, and director Michael Bay was on hand to share some thoughts about the much-anticipated sequel to the giant-robot blockbuster. Calling the film "a great adventure," Bay told MTV News that he was feeling some pressure from the looming production deadlines on the film.
I'm a little stressed because I'm finishing the movie tomorrow," said Bay when asked how things were coming along, only to add, "Maybe Wednesday."

Hollywood's biggest stars love to let their hair down and bring their hemlines up at the MTV Movie Awards. I'll be live-blogging directly from the red carpet with the latest on who nailed their party looks tonight. And of course, you’re here to tell me if you agree or disagree, so speak up in the comment section. I can’t wait to see what everyone is wearing!
6:30 p.m. ET: Stephanie Pratt ended up wearing the black Soltani gown with the tiered skirt that she tried on the other day with MTV News.
6:40: Robert Hoffman from "Step Up 2: The Streets" is here looking very, very casual in jeans, linen camo green blazer, black T-shirt and kicks.
6:50: Peter Facinelli is here, looking rocker chic in tight-fitting black jeans, a leather motorcycle jacket and black All-Stars.
6:55: Frankie Delgado has arrived in the Armani Exchange gray suit he picked out with MTV News the other day. Great pick! Read more...
With the MTV Movie Awards just hours away (they begin at 9 p.m. ET), many of you may be wondering if show host Andy Samberg will sing any of his (in?)famous and hilarious songs from his "Saturday Night Live" digital shorts. The answer is both yes and no.
Andy, thanks to the request of a very famous studio audience member who also happens to be a MTV Movie Awards nominee, managed to round up some of his celebrity friends for a Lonely Island medley set to air during the show — and these are celebrities you'd never expect to sing any of Andy's songs.
These surprise guests, along with a choir, will sing awesome (we can attest to this, since we saw the rehearsal), operatic versions of hits like "Jizz in my Pants" (sung by a woman you'd never think would sing that song), a duet between two unexpected singers for "Lazy Sunday" and he somehow got one Oscar-winner to come on board for "D--- in a Box." And his recent duet with Justin Timberlake, "Motherlover," also gets some love in the medley. Read more...
"Hills" star Frankie Delgado has never met a party he hasn’t wanted to go to (this is a well known fact to "Hills" fans) and when the MTV Movie Awards Weekend Guest Host invited MTV News to Deluxe in L.A. to show us how he parties in the days leading up to a big show like the Movie Awards, he definitely didn’t disappoint.
L.A. hotspot Deluxe was jam packed with L.A.'s finest pretty people and Frankie's table was also packed with all his buddies. He showed us around the club and even got behind the bar and displayed his best "Cocktail" style bar moves to the patrons. We're pretty sure that Tom Cruise would have been proud. And, if that wasn’t enough, a few very lucky clubgoers even got specially made drinks by Frankie while in his bartender. Read more...
To help celebrate the seven nominations of “Twilight” at tomorrow’s MTV Movie Awards, we’ve selected four special guests to act as seat fillers. Twilighters need no introduction to Bailey “NoMoreMarbles” Gauthier, or the Evil Iguana Team behind the immensely-popular “Twilight” Trailer Spoof. Now, Bailey clues us into their plans as the foursome prepare for Sunday’s show.
I’m here in LA with my fellow YouTube pals Craig, Joe and Tom. You might be wondering why this matters...well, some of our good friends at MTV have pulled a few strings to get us in as seat fillers for this year’s MTV Movie Awards - Which is only the most awesome job any “Twilight” fan could have, because of all the sweet nominations and “Twilight”-related guests that are going to be at this event.
