Skipping school is a fine art for Freddie Highmore in his latest film, "The Art of Getting By." Freddie plays loner/slacker George—a high school senior who's never done a day's work in his entire life and now faces the very real possibility of not graduating. His fatalistic outlook begins to change, however, when he befriends popular girl Sally, played by the always lovely Emma Roberts.
The movie doesn't hit theaters until June 17, but thanks to Sneak Peek Week—our five-day film festival of sorts in celebration of Sunday's MTV Movie Awards—we have an EXCLUSIVE clip to share with you.
Here, George shares his rules for cutting school as he and Sally wander through New York City's Chinatown. Most of his instruction is fairly intuitive ("Cutting school is fun!"), but the real gem is Rule No. 4. We'll co-sign that rule any day of the week.
Click play on the video above to watch our entire EXCLUSIVE clip from "The Art of Getting By." Keep tuning into MTV and MTV.com each night this week at 11 p.m. ET for more of our Sneak Peek Week!
The MTV Movie Awards air June 5 at 9/8 C.

Emma Roberts is going back to school as popular girl Sally in the upcoming release "The Art of Getting By." But before her flick (which also stars Freddie Highmore, Michael Angarano and Elizabeth Reaser) hits theaters June 17, she's stopping by MTV News with a few of her cast mates to debut an EXCLUSIVE clip and chat about the indie darling. And it all starts RIGHT NOW.
Welcome to the second night of MTV's Sneak Peek Week—our five-day film fest of sorts in celebration of Sunday night's Movie Awards. In addition to Emma, co-stars Michael, Elizabeth and director Gavin Wiesen are on hand to answer your questions about the film. (You have sent your questions, right? If not, tweet 'em to @MTVNews using the hash tag #spw.)

Okay, so obviously you're psyched about the MTV Movie Awards (with so much "Twilight" and "Harry Potter," how could you not be?), but get ready to enter uber-psyched territory. Before the awards, "America's Best Dance Crew" will have its big finale at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT. Even for the less hardcore "ABDC" fans, it's an event.
But there's more! Are you an Emma Stone fan? Are you pumped about "Teen Wolf"? How do red carpet exclusives from both sound?
In between the dance-tastic action on "ABDC," there will be live interviews from the MTV Movie Awards red carpet—including exclusives from "The Help" and "Teen Wolf." In case you've forgotten, "The Help" is Emma's upcoming movie about race relations in the South in the 1960s. From the looks of the trailer, it has a pretty killer mix of drama and Emma's signature comedic flare, so a new clip (and introduced by Emma, to boot) is pretty exciting news. Or you know, at least if you're a bookworm/movie geek who counts down to adaptations with heavy anticipation.

Can we just crown Kristen Stewart "Best Kisser in the Land" right now? Honestly, the girl contributed her lips to two of the five Best Kiss nominee couples for this year's MTV Movie Awards. It can't hurt that she's been blessed with such kissable co-stars (not to mention that built-in off-screen chemistry with real-life beau Robert Pattinson), but we're still way impressed.
With her double nomination, KStew might be a shoo-in for best kisser in the imaginary solo category, but the competition is pretty stiff for the Golden Popcorn. Each nominee brings something totally different to the Lip-Lock Olympics. Let's take a look:
Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon-Levitt—"Inception"
If there's such a thing as a witty kiss, this is it. Joseph's subtle play for a peck from Ellen is both adorable and sexy in a sly way. If you didn't want to steal a smooch from Joseph before, this kiss might just leave you praying for a similar sneak attack.

Spider-Man is now a Single-Man.
That’s right ladies, "Social Network" star Andrew Garfield, who is currently filming his web-slinging saga, has split with "Raising Hope" girlfriend, Shannon Woodward, after three years together.
The two began dating in 2008—long before Andrew’s acting career in the U.S. kicked off. Yet, Andrew’s success may be to blame; busy schedules and time apart put strain on their web of love, according to Us Weekly.
Too bad, so sad, so available! (Who else thinks the English hottie should play wingman to newly single former co-star Justin Timberlake?) Anyway, we doubt the actor will be on the market for long, but while we wait in the webs wings for updates on Andrew’s relationship status, we’ve chosen a few lucky ladies that might just need to be rescued by Spidey himself.

Here at Hollywood Crush, we love to dole out praise for each week’s Style Superstar, analyze the fashion at red carpet events and occasionally critique some questionable celebrity sartorial choices. Now, we’ve decided to add a "stylist" credit to our resume and pick out our dream ensembles for the stars to strut their stuff in at the MTV Movie Awards. For our first Style the Star client, we pick the queen of edgy yet classic couture: Kristen Stewart.*
Petite KStew generally favors mini dresses on the carpet, which make her legs look miles long. Black is undoubtedly her go-to shade, though she has been branching out into colorful territory recently with a gold sequin Reem Acra dress at the People’s Choice Awards and a red Proenza Schouler gown at the Met Gala. Kristen is also obsessed with asymmetry; some of the best examples are her one-shouldered lace Valentino mini at the October 2010 "Welcome to the Rileys" screening, a "Letterman" appearance last summer in a one-sleeved tight LBD and her intricate white one-sleeved dress at the L.A. "Eclipse" premiere. Since her ears aren’t pierced, she doesn’t wear earrings; in fact, she usually keeps all accessories to a minimum. Keep reading after the jump to see our fashion pick for Kristen!

It'll be a showdown between vampire and witches at this year's MTV Movie Awards as top nominees "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" will use every supernatural power available to them to take home the most Golden Popcorns. (For you folks keeping track at home, "Eclipse" has the most nominations with eight, while "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" comes in second with six).
We at Hollywood Crush are always loathe to pick favorites when it comes to our prized pop-culture juggernauts. I mean, can't we all get along? And most importantly, can't we like both? Which is why this year, we've made some of our favorite celebrities like Elle Fanning, Hilary Duff and Troian Bellisario do the dirty work for us.
That's right, we asked the stars which franchise they think will take home the most awards. Click play on the video above to hear what they have to say, and leave your own opinion in the comments section below.
The MTV Movie Awards air June 5 at 9/8 C!

How many blockbuster YA adaptations can one guy star in?
After months (and months, and months) of speculation, we are pleased to report that the role of Jace Wayland in "City of Bones" has finally been filled: "Breaking Dawn" star Jamie Campbell Bower will wear the Shadowhunter's runes.
Deadline has the news that the "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" actor will star alongside Lily Collins in the Scott Stewart-directed flick based on Cassandra Clare's bestselling "Mortal Instruments" series. The role is a mix of action and romance as Jamie's character Jace is a badass Nephilim (part human, part angel) who fights demons and romances Lily's Clary Fray.

For those of us who follow "Hunger Games" casting news as closely as the Capitol watches its citizens, today is bittersweet: The final main character in the film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' dystopian masterpiece has been cast.
Lionsgate announced today via its official Twitter feed that Hollywood veteran Donald Sutherland will play capricious Capitol-head President Snow. And all I have to say is, brilliant.
Okay, I do have a bit more to say about it. Namely, I think Donald Sutherland is a perfect fit for the role of Panem's dastardly president (aside from his imposing 6'4" stature, seeing as Snow is described as a small man—but I'm not going to quibble over inches here). My favorite roles on Donald's diverse resume are those in which he plays the benevolent mentor (Merrick in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Lucien Willbanks in "A Time to Kill"), but Donald can just as easily play creepy (see his murdering fascist in "1900") and shady (see mysterious X in "JFK").

In anticipation of a little ceremony we like to call the MTV Movie Awards, we're rolling out a week's worth of sneak peeks from some of this summer's hottest movies, followed by sitdowns with the films' stars. Last night we kicked things off with the Colin Farrell scarefest "Fright Night" (watch the exclusive clip...if you dare), and tonight we continue with "The Art of Getting By" starring Emma Roberts, Freddie Highmore and Michael Angarano.
"The Art of Getting By" tells the story of high school slacker/loner George (Freddie), who's somehow made it to his senior year without completing a single homework assignment (pretty impressive—oh wait, we shouldn't be condoning such behavior, should we?). Anyway, George begins to come out of his shell after he strikes up an unlikely friendship with popular girl Sally (Emma). Watch the full trailer above.
Following tonight's exclusive first look at "The Art of Getting By" on MTV, we'll be chatting with Emma, Michael, co-star Elizabeth Reaser and director Gavin Wiesen on MTV.com. And we need your questions! Tweet your queries to @MTVNews using the hash tag #spw. Yep, it's that easy. Join us for all the fun tonight at 11 p.m. ET!
