Hollywood Crush › Hot Stuff

Just three short months ago, we sat down for a revealing personal interview with the most talked-about up-and-coming star of "The Hunger Games": Bearderson "Beardie" McBeard, whose appearance on Wes Bentley's face in the trailer set off a veritable storm of fandom and no small number of internet memes. But, alas, it looks like Beardie has moved on to bigger and better things, because when Wes showed up for a chat with MTV News' Josh Horowitz, his famous facial hair was nowhere to be found.

For which Wes immediately apologized: "I would have loved to have kept that beard, but that beard took two hours to groom every day, and I don't want to spend that much time in the bathroom."

Lynsey Jacob, 26, of New York City, won a behind-the-scenes set visit to the upcoming fairy tale thriller "Snow White and the Huntsman," starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth. These are her stories.

I want to begin this post by saying that I still can’t believe I won the "Snow White and the Huntsman" Facebook sweepstakes…and the trip is over! So many people have told me how lucky I am (which I won’t deny in this case), but the only other thing I’ve ever won by chance was a laundry basket at my high school’s after-prom. So in the words of Kristen Stewart, this was a BFD.

On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving I received an email telling me I was the grand-prize winner, and less than a week later, I was on a red-eye to Heathrow with my best friend who came as my guest. On the morning of November 30, a car picked us up from the hotel. I was on the verge of hyperventilating, and we were on our way to Pinewood Studios!

The "SWATH" unit publicist met us there and drove us around, giving a full tour of the studios before taking us through the different sets, mostly consisting of castle interiors. I saw costumes, the magic mirror and the milk bath the Queen uses (it felt like thin Elmer’s glue). I found out once I arrived on set that Kristen (Snow White), Sam Claflin (Prince William) and Chris (the Huntsman) were all there and I’d have a chance to meet each of them. Pfft, I wasn’t nervous at all.

If you weren't at one of the 500 Target stores that premiered exclusive footage of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" last night, you’re in luck, because we’ve got a wrap-up. Check out our coverage of the event, and let’s delve a little deeper into the exciting first look at the finale of vampires, werewolves and hybrids.

The five-minute long clip featured greetings from pretty much the whole cast (hey there, Jasper and Emmett!) with Kristen Stewart talking about her favorite of Bella’s powers: Her "super self-control." There was also a behind-the-scenes look at Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner in the woods rehearsing, presumably footage from the upcoming, intense final battle. To the disappointment of many in the crowd, Taylor was wearing a shirt for the entirety of the clip.

In just a few short hours, Bella and Edward will be yours to have and to hold forever as "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" hits DVD and Blu-ray. Target stores across the country (500 in all) will be hosting special release parties beginning at 11 p.m., where you'll not only be able to pick up a copy of the hot hit but also see a sneak peek clip of "Breaking Dawn - Part 2." (Yes, we are squeezing our Edward Cullen doll extra tight right now to avoid hyperventilating...)

But we can't let Target have all the fun. Nuh-uh. Which is why we spent the better part of this afternoon watching the disc's nearly 90-minute, six-part making-of documentary. And boy did we learn a lot—we could write a thesis! But we won't. Cause that'd be boring. So instead, we've compiled a list of five interesting facts we gleaned from the special feature. Check 'em out after the jump!

With each new publicity image released from the upcoming fairy tale re-imagining "Snow White and the Huntsman," we never know which Kristen Stewart we're going to get. Pretty? Powerful? Poised? Yes, we're kinda getting whiplash, to quote a certain young actress we know. One thing we are sure of: Today's still (released via the film's Facebook page) lands squarely in the "fierce" rather than "fair" column.

Here we see our raven-haired heroine wielding a shield in one hand and (what we assume from repeated trailer viewings) a sword in the other (that flaming pile of whatever is totally obscuring our view). Kristen's clearly got her eye on something, and we're just glad it isn't us because girl looks downright ferocious.

The wait is almost over! In little more than a week, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" will be yours to own on Blu-ray and DVD, meaning you can hit repeat on all those awkward wedding toasts over and over again. (Or, y'know, one of the steamy sex scenes. If that's your thing.) In anticipation of the February 11 release, we've nabbed an EXCLUSIVE DVD extra in which "Twilight" scribe (and "Breaking Dawn" producer) Stephenie Meyer recalls filming the climactic birth scene. Watch the behind-the-scenes clip of Edward (Robert Pattinson) trying to revive Bella (Kristen Stewart) as Stephenie explains:

"He was really able to touch the human emotions of that scene. Rob really nailed it," Stephenie recalled. "It was really powerful. I teared up, several people near me did. It was just a lump in your throat—that moment of thinking you've lost everything and not being able to accept it. It was really emotional."

Is your tummy growling as loudly as mine? Happily, in just 50 shortish days, us ravenous fans will finally get to chew on director Gary Ross' vision of "The Hunger Games," when the big-screen adaptation of Suzanne Collins' novel debuts in theaters. Thanks to a number of teasers, we've gotten a few (however brief) peeks at what the dystopian world of Panem will look like, but for stars Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss) and Josh Hutcherson (Peeta), it's all about getting an unfettered view of the visually arresting Capitol.

"Everything in the Capitol for me," Jennifer replied, when asked what portion of the film she was most excited to see. "Every time we showed up in a Capitol scene, I was so blown away. Everything was more than you could have imagined."

This morning, the internet fairy brought us the best gift ever: some sneak-peek pics of Ryan Kwanten's upcoming appearance on "New Girl"! And if you've been missing Ryan's glistening pecs adorable face in these long, cold months without "True Blood," then take note: Fox released a whopping 10 (TEN!) delicious stills from the show, which depict the actor in various stages of flirtation with Zooey Deschanel.

The bad news: He's wearing clothes in all of them. (Boo!)
The good news: There's not a T-shirt in the universe that could hide the glory of those beautiful biceps. (YAY.)

The 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!

If you've been following our extensive, almost continuous "Hunger Games" coverage, you're well aware of the fact that we can't just focus on the first film in the franchise; we must also pay close attention to all the comings and goings of the sequel "Catching Fire." Specifically, which lucky new actors may or may not be joining the cast.

One of the more well-known hopefuls is Kristen Bell, an admitted super fan who has launched her very own campaign of sorts to be cast as kick-ass District 7 champ Johanna Mason. MTV News caught up with the exceedingly likable star recently during the press day for her next flick "Big Miracle," where she revealed some very specific details about her strategy.

"It’s been in the side saddle for awhile. I haven’t made any progress or done anything new other than I’ve put it out there," Kristen admitted.

Naturally, we asked how we could be of service.
