Most thespians have a special skill or two in their actorly toolbox, be it athletic ability, a pitch-perfect English accent or a blatant disregard for washing their hair. But few are as specific as "Snow White and the Huntsman" star Charlize Theron's.
"I am very good with side nudity," the actress enthused when asked about a few of her sans-shirt scenes in the June 1 release. "I tend to find that's probably my best nudity. Back is a little too back on. I need an angle. I like angular nudity."

Remember how we were ready to scream when we found out that "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" trailer will debut during the 2012 MTV Movie Awards pre-show? Well, get ready for another yelp because the film now has an official release date! That's right, Crushers, the "Perks" will open in limited release on September 14! Only four months away—but we're totally keeping it cool and not counting down or anything.
Okay, we totally are. But in our defense, Emma Watson probably is too! When MTV News caught up with her on the Pittsburgh set while she was still filming, she told us all about her anticipation for the project.

Seek and you shall find. Following an online scavenger hunt, in which Twilighters followed clues to unscramble and unlock a series of 22 links, the saga's Facebook page revealed three new character posters featuring Bella (Kristen Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob (Taylor Lautner).
Bella, unsurprisingly, is in full vamp mode with piercing scarlet eyes, soft waves and...is that a leather jacket we spy? Hot! Per usual, Edward and Jacob look their usual dreamy selves in their own close-cropped images. Each one-sheet boasts the tagline "Forever," likely a reference to the final sentence of author Stephenie Meyer's best-selling source material: "And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever."

She stars in two movies with Ryan Gosling, dates Andrew Garfield, and now this? Where do we sign up to bodyswap with Emma Stone for a day?
The 23-year-old actress is already a winner at this year's MTV Movie Awards, where she'll receive the first-ever Trailblazer Award! This particular statuette was created to recognize actors who "are carving out their own unique and diverse path within Hollywood." With Movie Award nominations for "The Help" and "Crazy, Stupid, Love" (plus a previous Golden Popcorn for Best Comedic Performance in "Easy A"), Emma seems the perfect candidate for this inaugural honor.

Have you ever met a superstitious adult who abhorred Halloween and always warned you to never mess with Ouija boards? If the first trailer for Ashley Greene's summer flick "The Apparition" tells you anything, it's that you should listen to your elders.
It begins as a harmless parapsychological experiment. Three researchers from a university set out to prove a scientific theory correct: "Ghosts only exist because we believe in them." They attempt to create a spirit using their minds, and if it succeeds, they'll be able to prove that supernatural events can occur as long as there are people believing in them. To their excitement—and eventual horror—they pull it off and the apparition is born.

They may play adversaries in the upcoming fairy tale flick "Snow White and the Huntsman," but in real life, co-stars Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron kinda dig each other. A lot, actually. So when our own Josh Horowitz caught up with the beautiful blond recently, he just had to ask what the secret to their unlikely friendship is.
"Opposites attract," Charlize replied with a sly grin. "I think that there's an incredible girl here, and I like that she's so different because it's authentic. There's nothing I despise more than people trying to be something they're not. All of these quirks, they're authentic to who she is. She's not putting it on."

We're on to you, Kristen Stewart. You may portray shy girl Bella in "The Twilight Saga," but you're anything but. (Well, at least in your latest roles!) You've played a stripper in "Welcome to the Rileys," a rocker in "The Runaways" and now in the film adaptation of Jack Kerouac's "On the Road," you're playing promiscuous Marylou. Let's go to the clip!
KStew premiered the project at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival today, and this new peek provides a closer look at Marylou's sensual ways. It opens with her removing her hand from Sal Paradise's (Sam Riley) lap after attempting to pleasure him. The worst part is we see later that her husband Dean Moriarty was sleeping in the back seat! Uh-oh, we have a feeling she's headed for trouble if she keeps up these antics.

The first trailer for director Baz Luhrmann's glitzy "Great Gatsby" adaptation has roared onto the web, fulfilling the hopes of fashionistas everywhere that this would indeed be the costume drama of the year.
Set in 1920s New York, F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic novel chronicles Midwesterner Nick Carraway's (Tobey Maguire) entrance into East Coast high society and his introduction to the enigmatic Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), who asks for his help to win back former love Daisy (Carey Mulligan). In keeping with his previous films like "Australia" and "Moulin Rouge!" Baz has turned to Oscar-winning costume designer Catherine Martin to bring the styles of the early 20th century into eye-popping relief. And we can't get enough.
The trailer opens on one of the film's many posh parties, where we catch a glimpse of Nick's would-be paramour Jordan (Elizabeth Debicki) in a black halter dress with a jewel-encrusted neckline. It's sexy yet somehow regal. Not to be outdone, Daisy shines in a number of outfits throughout the clip, but we're especially fond of this simpler purple flapper-style frock with ruffled sleeves and matching lace gloves.

Breakups are hard. There's no amount of preparation or pep talks from friends that can soften the blow. Whether you expected it or it took you by surprise, it can still leave you with a lot of questions. But what better way to help you think through those queries than with a movie and the help of actress Hailee Steinfeld?
According to Deadline, the Oscar-nominated thespian is in talks to star in "Why We Broke Up," a Fox 2000 adaptation of Daniel Handler's popular novel. Hailee will play the lead Min Green, a sophomore in high school who's obsessed with movies and coffee (who isn't?). When she becomes enraptured by senior and basketball team captain Ed Slaterton (his name just screams jock), she's swept up in a romance that's inevitably doomed.

It all adds up to more than three hours of never-before-seen material. Retailers across the country are expected to host special midnight events tied to the Blu-ray/DVD release in an attempt to incite the same level of excitement as the film's theatrical release.
