It's good to be a Belieber. As the February 11 release date for Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never" inches ever closer, fans of the 16-year-old singing sensation are being rewarded with a number of teaser tidbits in anticipation of the flick. And if October's movie poster—which found Justin decked out in a bejeweled letterman jacket—left you wanting more, feast your eyes on the latest one-sheet for the sure-to-be box office winner (see the full poster after the jump!).
With the tagline, "Find out what's possible if you never give up," the poster depicts Justin straddling two worlds (how very Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana of him!): his small Canadian hometown of Stratford, Ontario, and the glitz and glamor of New York City. And, of course, he's working his signature look down to the side-swept mop top and effortlessly untied sneaks. Perhaps it's the larger-than-life depiction, but does Justin look a little older, a little more mature in this new poster? Methinks so!

As promised in yesterday's installment of our interview with dreamy Alex Pettyfer, today we bring you more of our steamy scintillating chat. Quick recap: Alex is a big fan of "The Mortal Instruments" books and is currently mulling over whether or not to sign on to play Jace Wayland.
MTV News caught up with Alex during the press day for "I Am Number Four," along with director DJ Caruso who, it must be noted, was immensely helpful in prodding his cagey young star—who at first was reluctant to reveal the fact that he'd even heard about the project—to offer up a few more details about the casting process and whether or not he's read the screenplay.
"Have I read the screenplay? I have read the screenplay," Alex revealed.
And what did he think?

Hailee Steinfeld certainly isn't the first teenage actress to have a shot at Oscar gold, but she's one of the few with little-to-no feature film acting experience under her belt. Considering she's one of our favorites to play Katniss Everdeen in the upcoming "Hunger Games" adaptation, we're thinking the high-profile kudos for her performance in "True Grit" can only bode well.
At least, that's how it worked for some of our favorite actresses who were in similar positions in the past. Anna Paquin was only 11 when she was nominated—and won—a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in "The Piano." Like Hailee, it was her first feature film role, and she went on to continued success (like "True Blood"!). For those of you who can remember this far back, Anna played in a series of well-received films like "Fly Away Home," "Amistad" and "She's All That." It wasn't until 2000's "X-Men"—released when she was 17—that she really blew up on the scene again.
A better comparison to Hailee, however, would probably be Saoirse Ronan, who was also nominated for an Oscar when she was 14 for her role in "Atonement." Though it wasn't Saorise's first film credit (she was Celia Hardwick in "The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey"), "Atonement" was certainly her first major film. And, afterward, she went on to star in the young adult adaptation of "City of Ember."

It's been almost two months since "Hellcats" went on winter break, and we're not gonna lie, we've missed the skimpy outfits, saucy attitudes, silly hi-jinks and scandalous hookups that have made it a staple on our TV watching schedule. It's hard not to get hooked on a show that has ridiculously good looking people, multiple plot lines and snappy dance routines, so you can imagine how stoked we were when star Ashley Tisdale gave us a little preview of what to expect in tonight's brand new episode, "Papa, Oh Papa."
"Everyone is giving Marti the cold shoulder," Ashley told Hollywood Crush. "Everything about cheerleading is being a family and being together and trusting each other and trust is broken, so we're heading to sectionals and we're kind of a mess, so it's whether or not we're going to pull through."
If the past is any indicator of the future, we're pretty sure the team is going to make it through sectionals, so there's no need to worry about the Hellcats. The thing we're super-pumped about tonight is the introduction of Alice's (Heather Hemmens) family and finding out what makes her such a cold-hearted biatch.

It was announced last October that two new faces would be coming to Rosewood, and last night we finally met the mysterious Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) and Simone (Alona Tal)! Caleb is living up to the hype of "bad boy," but Simone assumed a more interesting role. First, let's get back to Alison’s last QuickTime.
As the girls watched Ali’s hand grip the soil (In pain? Ecstasy? The final throes of death?) for the eighth time, while debating turning the extended play version of the video in to the police, brother-in-law Ian waltzed into the kitchen for some popcorn. I quickly flashed back to episode two, when, in relation to "The Jenna Thing," Spencer told the girls the tragic story of when Ian was blinded in his left eye after taking the end of a lacrosse stick to the temple. Because why else wouldn’t he be able to see himself, paused, full-screen on Spence’s laptop, right? And why else would Spencer wait a full three minutes before closing the lid on murder evidence if she didn’t think Ian could see it? Oh, hey, Ian did see it! And he stole the computer and deleted the file! The Liars are foiled again in their quest to find their friend's murderer.
Alas, there are other things to worry to about: how to call Maya when your phone number is blocked by juvie camp; your teacher-boyfriend falling for someone of legal age; finding a part-time job and pesky school functions.

What's happening next "New Year's Eve"? Only the biggest Hollywood party EVER—and the giant holiday rom-com, a follow-up to last year's "Valentine's Day," just gained some new cast members! According to The Hollywood Reporter, "SNL" funnyman Seth Meyers and rocker Jon Bon Jovi will be joining the party for director Garry Marshall's new film—two new additions who promise not only a pair of great comedic performances, but also a nice, big side serving of Jersey Hair.
Seth will be paired up with Jessica Biel, rounding out the other half of a couple who's racing to birth the first baby of the new year. And Jon, of course, will be playing a doctor handing out holiday doses of BAD MEDICINE.
...Okay, just kidding. Actually, he'll be acting opposite Halle Berry and playing... a rock star. How difficult for him.

Considering the romantic grab bag "90210" left us with before the holidays, last night’s episode wasted no time picking up where said West Bevers left off. In fact, forget what the calendar says, Beverly Hills was still in full holiday swing, as its less dramatic denizens continued to dance the night away at Adrianna's fete, while infidelity, violence and a whole lot of lies raged on elsewhere.
Teddy, last seen (finally) making out with Ian in Bette Davis’ stairwell, decided he’s ready to be open with their relationship, just not open enough so that everyone can see them. Consider this:

All in all, we're pretty happy about this year's crop of Academy Award nominees. While we we're still scratching our heads as to why Andrew Garfield didn't at least get a nomination for "The Social Network," there were enough other exciting—albeit expected—announcements to keep us satisfied.
First up is Michelle Williams, who landed her first Best Actress nomination (and second overall nomination) for her role in "Blue Valentine." Though it's the only nomination the film got (boo, Ryan Gosling!), we're just happy it got recognized at all.

Last night's decisive championship games earned the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers a spot in the Super Bowl, much to the delight, dismay and, well, sometimes indifference, of many celebs on Twitter. While Chloe Moretz pondered, "sooo...who should i support steelers? or packers?" her "Kick-Ass" co-star Christopher Mintz-Plasse (both pictured) had a suggestion for her, "Packers! Let them get passed the favre stuff. Rodgers is the man." Of course, P. Diddy would tell Chloe otherwise, as the rapper-actor waved his Terrible Towel on Twitter, "I've been a Steelers FAN SINCE I was 10!!!! That's a Long Time!!! Let's Goooooo!!!!"
While football fans will still have to wait two more weeks until the Super Bowl, music fans got some sneak peeks of new videos for both Britney Spears and Miranda Cosgrove! Britney posted a preview of her vid for "Hold It Against Me", "Day 2 is a wrap! #HIAM video coming soon.... http://twitpic.com/3swwit" as Miranda shared a picture from the set of her latest, "On the video set! This is the most fun Ive ever had on a video shoot! Dancing all night long

It seems like we are getting closer and closer to an official casting announcement for Jace Wayland in the upcoming big screen adaptation of Cassandra Clare's first book in "The Mortal Instruments" series, "City of Bones." Just last week we learned that "Beastly" and "I Am Number Four" star Alex Pettyfer is the leading contender to step into the Shadowhunter's shoes.
When MTV News caught up with Alex and his "Number Four" director DJ Caruso over the weekend, we had to ask him his thoughts on the role and how soon the decision will be made.
At first he played dumb, pretending not to know what we were asking him.
"What's that?" he said, when asked what the latest news was on the Alex-as-Jace rumors.
Thanks to some playful nudging from DJ, Alex opened up just a bit and offered some interesting thoughts.
