Before she faced a formidable "Fear," or dyed her hair "Legally Blonde," or learned to "Walk the Line," starlet Reese Witherspoon was just a Southern teen cutting her acting teeth on her first film role: the 1991 romantic drama "The Man in the Moon." And in anticipation of our upcoming MTV First: Reese Witherspoon (airing Tuesday at 7:56 p.m. ET on MTV), we took a trip to the MTV vault to unearth this long-lost clip of Reese talking about that early role—all the way back in 1991. (So, like, before some of you were even born!)

With a now almost-non-existent twang and a self-assuredness rare for most teens, the 15-year-old dished about why she got into acting. "I just thought, I always wanted to do something really outgoing 'cause when I was little I was really kind of quiet, but you know, I'd always be really creative at home and stuff, and finally I started, you know, speaking out and doing little things to impress everybody," she recalled.

Lace isn't just for lingerie—as any style-conscious lady who's fond of the versatile fabric can tell you. And this week, a pair of Hollywood's favorite fashionistas showed up on our radar sporting all-over lacy looks that ranged from sweet and sophisticated to seriously sexy. Whose ultra-feminine dress was a perfect complement to her latest romantic role? And who took one major plunge with a scalloped neckline and sheer sleeves? Check 'em out in today's Style Superstar.

Rachel McAdams made for one pretty picture at the photocall for "The Vow," where she scored Style Superstardom in this Colette Dinnigan dress featuring delicate black lace in a creeping damask pattern. The nude-colored underslip is so identical to Rachel's skin tone that it gives casual lookers quite a trompe-l'oeil double take, but the sweet little sleeves and longer hemline keep it lacy, not racy. The only thing more romantic is the movie she's promoting.

She's played a haughty human-alien hybrid, a plucky lingerie-model-turned-surgical-intern and an accidentally impregnanted television producer, and with today's release of "One for the Money," Katherine Heigl can add "Jerseylicious bounty hunter" to her eclectic resume. The actress stars in the big-screen adaptation of Janet Evanovich's romantic thriller, playing heroine Stephanie Plum, an out-of-work unmentionables saleswoman who takes a job as a recovery agent to make ends meet. (We're also betting she finds a bit of love along the way...) As Katherine returns to the big screen slinging a pistol and downing the Garden State's entire ration of Tastykakes, let's take a look back at her career.

Born November 24, 1978, in Washington, D.C., Katherine started out as a child model before making her film debut in the 1992 romance "That Night," starring Juliette Lewis, C. Thomas Howell and a young Eliza Dushku. Katherine played a character named...Kathryn. She went on to make a splash in her first starring role alongside French actor Gerard Depardieu in the 1994 comedy "My Father the Hero," playing a vacationing teenager who tries to impress her summer fling by telling him that her dad is really her lover. We did that all the time in high school!

Mirror MirrorWe hope you haven't already taken your Fairytale Whimsy Pills today, because otherwise, this next thing might just send you into overload: the full-length international trailer for "Mirror Mirror" is here, and it's delivering a dose of Twee so powerful that even the grumpiest of codgers can't watch it without getting the warm-and-fuzzies.

The new trailer re-introduces us to the film's big, bold cast of characters—including a sweet 'n' sassy Snow White (played by pretty, pretty Lily Collins, who manages to make even the most ill-advised headpiece look charming), a murderous, commanding queen (Julia Roberts, looking just a tad too thrilled at her first role as a cackling villainess), a deliciously robust Prince Charming (Armie "putting the 'HAM' in" Hammer, who's clearly enjoying his first stab at slapstick comedics) and a number of high-octane little persons armed with ninja skills and accordion stilts.

Darren Criss Matt BomerOf all the roles Matt Bomer will be playing in the coming year, the one we're most excited for is...well, okay, obviously it's his live, nude stint as a beefcakey stripperman in "Magic Mike." (You can't argue with those pecs, my friend. Don't even try.) But our second most-excited-for role of Matt's is a small-screen guest spot that he's thisclose to sealing the deal on: playing the part of Blaine's older (and, dare we say, hotter) brother on an upcoming episode of "Glee"!

TVLine has the scoop on Matt's likely appearance, which is slated for April, and which will mark the first appearance of a Blaine-related character on the show.

Fans have been jumping on news about the original score for "The Hunger Games," ever since the first whispered rumor that Jennifer Lawrence herself would be singing a song on the film's soundtrack—an appropriate level of enthusiasm considering how much music becomes the language of the Panem revolution. So it's no surprise that the stars of the film, all "Hunger Games" fans themselves, are also a seriously musical bunch.

"Music is a huge part of my life," Josh Hutcherson confirmed when @vic_rendueles asked via our fan question call whether the "Hunger Games" actors shared their characters' enthusiasm and which music inspired them in their work. "If I feel off for a couple of days, chances are I've not been listening to enough music—it's that important to me. But I listen to everything from '60s rock and roll to the Arctic Monkeys to the Black Keys to dubstep, so it's literally full-on schizophrenic, my music taste"

Kristen Stewart Snow White and the HuntsmanThe latest news from the set of goth fairytale action flick "Snow White and the Huntsman": Kristen Stewart is pretty. Or at least, that's what we're taking away from the special surprise still photo just released on the film's Facebook fan page, which features an up-close-and-personal shot of Kristen doing...well, who knows, since it's so up-close and so personal that you can't tell where she is or what she's up to. But she seems to be looking at something? And maybe she's wrapped in a blanket? Is that a blanket back there? Whatever, who cares! She's so pretty!

Katherine Heigl has become the queen of rom-coms. With a resume that includes, "27 Dresses," "Life As We Know It," and "New Years Eve," you know you are in for a perfect ladies' night out when you see a Katherine Heigl flick.

But what if you are bringing your boyfriend to the movies this weekend? Well, don’t worry ladies, you can bring your boys along to see Katherine’s new movie, "One For the Money." She promised us!

"I wouldn’t qualify it as a romantic comedy. It’s got that and it’s got comedy, but it’s mostly about this sort of murder mystery undertone that keeps it moving and keeps the pace going," Katherine told MTV News at the New York premiere. "I always feel like I’m selling it to men, like there’s explosions and there’s shooting. You’re gonna like it too, I promise."

Anna KendrickCan we just go ahead and call Anna Kendrick the Master of Acting Versatility? In the past few years, we've seen her play everything from a bored high school student to a blustering businesslady to Scott Pilgrim's baby sister...and now, she's pregnant!

In this movie, I mean.
This movie about pregnant people.
One of whom is Anna Kendrick.

The film is "What to Expect When You're Expecting," which follows the stories of five women dealing with the impending arrival of their respective babies. Anna plays a food truck chef with a bun in her oven, and she's joined by actresses Cameron Diaz (a fitness guru carrying some baby weight), Jennifer Lopez (not actually pregnant, but planning to adopt), Elizabeth Banks (a baby-incubating author), and Brooklyn Decker (a trophy wife carrying the heir to a fortune). And thanks to studio Lionsgate, iVillage has an exclusive look at the character posters—featuring each lady sporting the requisite bump and/or delighted "I'm pregnant!" expression. (Sort of like the character posters released for "The Hunger Games"—only happy, and with belly rubs!)

Emily VanCamp and Josh Bowman are engaged. Well, their characters are engaged on the soapy ABC series, “Revenge,” but it seems that whatever love they are acting out on the small screen may have leaked into their real lives.

Yes, the co-stars are reportedly dating. According to Us Weekly, EVC and JB are currently hanging out, but unlike on the show, "it's not serious.” The couple also reportedly got their party on over New Year’s at the Paris club Rasputin with their pals. Taking their love to the City of Lights seems somewhat serious to us, guys! The source added that “they hang out together every night.” However, Em and J probably won’t be hitting up any red carpets together any time soon. "She's very private," the source said.
