Hey everyone! I touched down in L.A. earlier today, and I've been pretty much on the go ever since! Today has been crazy, but so much fun. I've never visited L.A. before, so it's been amazing to just ride around and see some of the famous sights the city holds such as Sunset Strip, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, etcetera. I also had my first celebrity "encounter": "7th Heaven" castmember Tyler Hoechlin passed by us in his car.

After a little cruising around it was time to head to the Arclight Theatre for the MTV Sneak Peek Week screening of "Get Smart," starring Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway. Read more...

If you're wondering where Steve Carell's god-like abilities come from, ponder no further...it's all in the genes. For proof, watch the following video, in which Carell recounts the circuslike talent shows his family used to stage. When you're done with that, read and watch our full interview with the "Dan in Real Life" star.

Move over Rambo. Take a seat Indiana Jones. When it comes to old favorites making a return to big-time prominence, few have us as geeked out as Peter Segal's upcoming "Get Smart," starring Steve Carell as the titular Maxwell Smart, a bumbling secret agent originally played by the late, great Don Adams.

Carell previously detailed the extent to which series' creators Mel Brooks and Buck Henry had lent their approval to the project, and, among other tantalizing tidbits, teased us with the promise that several stars from the original would have cameos in the film.

But one cast member who won’t be seen in the film, Carell sighed, is Barbara Feldon -- who played the beautiful and smart Agent 99 (played in the film by Anne Hathaway.) Read more...

Steve Carell's "Get Smart" already ranks as one of 2008's highest-profile movies and now, ten months before release, die-hard fans are buzzing over a mystery that's fit for super-spy Maxwell Smart: Who's playing Hymie?

For those who haven't seen the classic Sixties comedy show, Hymie was a robot with superhuman powers, played with deadpan perfection by Richard Gautier. Despite being a cutting-edge aide to the CONTROL spy team, he lacked the mental processing chip that would allow him to comprehend everyday idioms. For instance, if someone told Hymie to go jump in the lake, they'd better go get him a life preserver and a towel.

"I didn't work with Hymie," shrugged Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson when we put him under the Cone of Silence and probed him for details. "None of my scenes were with Hymie - but I met Hymie; he's a cool dude and very, very funny in the movie." Read more...

In "Horton Hears a Who," Jim Carrey returns to Dr. Seuss land, although this time it's animated and with a co-starring lineup that includes such comedic talent as Steve Carell, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Dane Cook, Will Arnett, Carol Burnett and Dan Fogler.

For Fogler -- who can be seen shortly in the ping pong epic "Balls of Fury" -- it's a two-fer, as he tackles the voice of both a monkey king and a microscopic villain. In our exclusive interview below, he discusses his roles and even dishes out some lines.

A tense standoff between two top agents, one with a gun to the other's head.

"Freeze," the first one says.

"No, you freeze," the other replies. "Freeeeeeeeze."

Not a single person at the Warner Brothers panel seemed to move - except with laughter - when footage was unveiled from "Get Smart" this morning. But audiences got out of their seats to cheer when director Peter Segal brought out stars Ken Davitian, The Rock, Masi Oka, and Steve Carell for surprise appearances.

Think Steve Carell's upcoming adaptation of their classic 60's sitcom has series co-creators and legendary funnymen Mel Brooks and Buck Henry up in arms? "Get Smart."

"We're really lucky because it's been given their seal of approval. They are completely on board," Carell told MTV News, as giddy as a schoolboy when he said the two had even sent in jokes that made their way into the film. "[They've] been in contact with Pete Segal, the director, and they've been going back and forth, doing pitches, and jokes, and sending things all the way along."

So enthusiastic was Mel Brooks, that filmmakers even set aside a small role for the 80-year-old, Carell said. "We asked him, but he's too busy -- he's actually casting 'Young Frankenstein' which he's doing on Broadway right now -- but we had a cameo all set for him. He just couldn't scheduling-wise make it up," Carell declared. "[But] we're up shooting in Montreal right now, so he may be coming to visit us."

But even if Mel isn't able to star, there will be plenty of surprises from recognizable faces, Carell promised. "We do have some cameos involving some people from the original," he said. One long-rumored cameo, that Will Ferrell is going to play the President of the United States, is not true, Carell insisted, telling MTV News that "James Caan plays the [role]." Read more...
