'Dreamless' Is A Gift From The Gods

Posted 5/25/12 9:43 am EST by in Page Turners


Remember how much fun we had with Josephine Angelini's highly entertaining page-turner of a debut, "Starcrossed?" A lot of fun! I wasn’t at all shy about my love for the modern twist on the Helen of Troy myth from Greek mythology. Josie’s book deftly combined two of my favorite reading subjects: Greek mythology and teenage angst! Anyway, my fellow readers will agree with the fact that no matter when you discovered and likely devoured "Starcrossed," it has been a painful wait for its sequel "Dreamless" to arrive in bookstores.

Luckily for everyone, the wait is nearly over! “Dreamless” will be unleashed upon the masses on May 29. I was very fortunate to receive an early read of Ms. Angelini’s sequel, so I’m going to share with you a few of my favorite things about it, without giving away any major spoilers.

Reese Witherspoon's latest, "This Means War," hits DVD and Blu-ray today, and there's a lot to love about the action-packed rom-com. Chris Pine and Tom Hardy impress with their gun-wielding and butt-kicking, while Reese is up to her America's Sweetheart tricks once again—this time with a sassy edge. If there's one date night DVD to check out ASAP, it's this one.

We're celebrating the release of "This Means War" with an EXCLUSIVE special feature from the Blu-ray combo pack—a scene that didn't make the final version of the film. (There are minor spoilers ahead if you haven't seen the movie.)

'What To Expect' Stars Play A Game Of 'Great Expectations'

Posted 5/18/12 5:23 pm EST by in Movies, Random Yet Notable, Rom Coms, Videos


When presented with the opportunity to sit down with the star-studded cast of "What To Expect When You're Expecting" recently, I had to go in with my A-game. Literally. I went in with a game, wherein I brought up several mundane-yet-universally-experienced scenarios and had the actors weigh-in as to whether they'd have "high" or "low" expectations in the given situation. So highbrow, I know.

Luckily for all of us, Anna Kendrick, Chace Crawford, Cameron Diaz, Matthew Morrison, Rodrigo Santoro, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks and Ben Falcone totally played ball, resulting in the hilarious video above. Be sure to listen for Matthew's baby delivery story, Anna's idea for an appearance on "Gossip Girl," and an amazing Andy Warhol-esque version of "Twilight."

'What To Expect' Star Anna Kendrick Revels In Chace Crawford's 'Arctic Wolf' Appeal

Posted 5/17/12 8:00 am EST by in Eye Candy, Movies, Videos


As someone who enjoys gushing over attractive male celebrities every now and then—or, really, just attractive men in general—there's nothing I appreciate more than sharing a collective swoon with a fellow fan of cute fellas, particularly when that fan is a female celebrity who will speak freely about the hotness of her co-star. Especially when that co-star happens to be in the same room. Sitting next to her.

Case in point: this wonderfully entertaining exchange I shared with "What To Expect When You're Expecting" stars Anna Kendrick and Chace Crawford, during which Anna revealed that even she, a woman who has worked alongside noteworthy hotties like George Clooney and Robert Pattinson, was taken aback by Chace's prettiness.

"Stay away from Chace Crawford, he’s irresistible," Anna warned us, speaking to the good looks of this week's Hump Day Hottie. "You’re just going to get in trouble."

"She said I have the eyes of an arctic wolf," Crawford revealed.

Rihanna's Boob Envy, Brooklyn Decker's Butt Envy: MTV's 'Battleship' Chat

Posted 4/30/12 5:13 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Videos


What is more fun than a couple of beautiful women talking about how they wish they had more junk in certain trunks? Especially when the beautiful women in question are Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker, flanked by their equally-attractive "Battleship" co-stars Taylor Kitsch and Alexander Skarsgard?

How this topic even came up is still a wonder, but come up it did when MTV News' Josh Horowitz jokingly brought up the fact that while the four easy-on-the-eyes actors are used to being the most attractive people in any room, that wasn't the case when they were all together on set.

"It's really frustrating," Rihanna joked.

"At the end of the day, that's what matters," Taylor added with a smile.

Jorma Taccone Happy To Get Naked To Be In More 'Girls'

Posted 4/30/12 12:00 pm EST by in TV News


Jorma TacconeSo how about that Jorma Taccone and his total and complete scene stealing in last night's episode of "Girls?" Talk about leaving a scene on a high note...

We weren't sure what to think of his character's arrogant and obvious womanizing ways at the beginning of the episode, but he definitely left us wanting more, no matter how much havoc that might wreak upon Marnie's relationship. MTV News recently caught up with the multi-talented writer/director/actor to find out more about that memorable last line and when we might see his character on the show again.

"It was incredibly fun to play," Jorma said of his arrogant, self-obsessed artist Jonathan. "I think the only thing I may have added [to that last line] was, 'See you later,' which seemed appropriate after a line with that level of intensity. It was really fun," he said. "And working with Allison [Williams] was great. We had a good time together."

So has Jorma found out yet when we might be seeing Jonathan back on "Girls?"

Posted 4/27/12 3:34 pm EST by in Love...Actually?, Movies, Rom Coms


Guys, did you know that the plot of "The Five-Year Engagement" is not just a work of fiction invented for the purpose of further showcasing the charms of Jason Segel and Emily Blunt? People actually stay engaged for five years—sometimes more! Crazy!

MTV News sought out the advice and opinions of relationship expert and San Diego dating coach DeAnna Lorraine on the subject, specifically why long-term engagements are a bad idea and why women should be careful to maintain a separate life from their fiance.

Jorma Taccone On Spicing Up 'Girls'

Posted 4/27/12 8:00 am EST by in TV News


Jorma TacconeWhile not much can top the awkward factor of the opening scene from last week’s episode of “Girls,” this week’s chapter scales back the uncomfortable sex and replaces it with some saucy solo sex. Yep. That’s not a spoiler, just a tease.

Speaking of teases, there’s a new man on "Girls." An arrogant, self-obsessed young artist named Jonathan (played by the very likable and talented Jorma Taccone) who provides a welcome distraction/attraction for Marnie from her smothering, doormat of a boyfriend.

So what's Mr. Taccone up to on the show? MTV News recently caught up with the very busy writer/director and "SNL" Digital Short master to get a sneak peek of what to expect from his character and if there’s anything to like about him.

The Wanted Get G-Rated With Favorite Disney Movie Discussion

Posted 4/25/12 3:44 pm EST by in Eye Candy, Movies, Videos


When it comes to conducting interviews with celebs, no matter how prepared, professional and/or confident we are that the questions we're going to ask will result in interesting, insightful responses, it's often the inclusion of a fan-submitted question that provides for the proverbial icing on the cake.

Such is the case with our MTV First: The Wanted on Tuesday, when fan Cynthia asked the cheeky fivesome to name their favorite Disney movie.

Although the question was a bit off the topic of music and such, the guys were immediately excited to offer up their answers.

"'Beauty and the Beast,'" said Max George, which drew annoyed reactions from the other boys who made it seem like that was their choice as well.
