Taylor Lautner, Justin Timberlake Test Their Geekery In New After Hours

Posted 7/28/11 12:10 pm EST by Kat Rosenfield in 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, Random Yet Notable, Videos

Ahhhh, Comic-Con! It's a place for movie gossip, a place for celebrity sightings and, of course, a place for seeing full-grown adults dressed up in spandex superhero suits without so much as a hint of embarrassment. But, above all, it is a place for GEEKS. Which is why, when MTV News' Josh Horowitz got a few good famous people to sit down with him for our latest After Hours, we put them to the test with a little Game of Geekery. Which "Twilight" star knows his Tolkien Trivia? Which sultry starlets are secret nerds? Can't anyone do a decent impression of Yoda anymore?! Find out, in...."GEEKS! OR! POSERS!"

Things get off to a sad start when Josh asks his assembled guests to begin by naming Elijah Wood's character in "Lord of the Rings." Amanda Seyfried stutters, "It's, uh... y'know. That guy?" before giving up. And Elizabeth Reaser and Nikki Reed look like a pair of deer in the headlights as they each look to each other for help. Bzzzzt! Posers! Deer-lookin' posers!!!

'Breaking Dawn' Director Bill Condon Talks The James Franco Cameo That Never Was

Posted 7/28/11 11:21 am EST by Kat Rosenfield in 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, Movies, Random Yet Notable, Twilight Forever!, Videos

Of all the "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" gossip to hit the internet lately, everyone's favorite seems to be the one where James Franco tried to join the cast of the vampire blockbuster...and got flat-out turned down by director Bill Condon. So when MTV News got a chance to chat with Bill, Josh Horowitz took the opportunity to ask him about this rumored rejection. BILL! WHY U NO CAST JAMES FRANCO?

Bill, who is a very good sport about this whole thing, is happy to give us the actual scoop on what went down.

"He told a friend of mine, who then sent the message along to me," he said of learning about the Oscar-nominated actor's interest in the film. "And for a moment it was like, okay, what could James Franco play that wouldn't feel like 'Where's Waldo'?"

Justin Bieber On 'Vampire Diaries'? Here's What It Could Look Like!

Posted 7/27/11 3:52 pm EST by Jocelyn Vena in Photos, Random Yet Notable, TV News

Who knew Justin Bieber was a closet "Vampire Diaries" fan? During the series' Comic-Con panel, Nina Dobrev and her co-stars were asked which celebs they'd love to see stop by Mystic Falls. And the answer that Ms. Dobrev gave was quite surprising.

"I know who Kevin would want," she said in a video of the panel posted to Hollywoodlife.com, referring to the long-simmering rumor that the show's creator is trying to get Taylor Swift to guest star. She then revealed that a fellow Canadian is actually angling for a spot on the hit CW vampire drama. "Justin Bieber wanted to be on our show," she said. "He did."

Shortly after she shared the news, her co-star/real-life boy toy Ian Somerhalder's phone rang. He joked, "That must be Justin Bieber."

We're not sure what sort of character Justin had in mind for the show, but we've got a few ideas up our sleeves. (Click on the image above to see our entire Justin Bieber in "The Vampire Diaries" flipbook!)

Robert Pattinson's New Hair, Channing Tatum, More: Who Is The Hottest Guy At Comic-Con?

Posted 7/22/11 4:21 pm EST by Jocelyn Vena in 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, Eye Candy, Polls, Random Yet Notable

Robert Pattinson Comic-Con just kicked off, and it seems to be the place if you want to gawk at some of the most attractive men, like ever, in the whole entire world, or at least in Hollywood. With panels for everything from "Twilight" to "Captain America" to "Haywire" to "In Time" (and that's only naming a very, very small smattering of what the big event has to offer), the eye candy is certainly in abundance.

MTV News has certainly already gotten our hands on some of these guys at the annual nerd fest (shame on you if you missed our "Breaking Dawn" special yesterday) and plans to get our hands on more (like today at 6 p.m. EST, for instance) as Comic-Con plays out, and so it had us wondering: Who is the fairest of them all? We know who we might pick, but we want to know who gets your blood pumping.

So, who do you think is the sexiest dude in San Diego? Is it "Captain America" himself, Chris Evans? One of the "Twilight" boys, Taylor Lautner or Robert Pattinson (and his new "Cosmopolis"-inspired haircut)? Does "In Now" star Justin Timberlake get your vote, or does your heart belong to Channing Tatum?

Vote in our poll after the jump and let us know who the hottest guy at Comic Con is. And, think we missed someone? Tell us in the comments!

VMA Nominations And 'Glee' In Perfect Harmony

Posted 7/21/11 11:46 am EST by Amy Wilkinson in Hot Stuff, Music News, Random Yet Notable, TV News

Glee The 2011 MTV Video Music Award nominees were announced last night, and as you might expect, divas like Katy Perry and Adele lead the charge with nine and seven nods each. While there's no doubt it's been a good year for the gurls, when we took a closer look at the list, we noticed another interesting piece of trivia: a number of the nominees have also been covered by McKinley High's New Directions! (You know what they say about great minds...)

When our two worlds collide, we just can't help but comment, so keep reading after the jump to see which ditties' praises are being sung by both the VMAs and "Glee"!

Spotted: 'True Blood' Star Alexander Skarsgard Plays Doctor

Posted 7/20/11 1:09 pm EST by Kat Rosenfield in Eye Candy, Photos, Random Yet Notable

Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.

No, this isn't a sneak peek from a very special episode of "True Blood" titled "Eric Northman Goes To College"; it's a real, live Alexander Skarsgård getting a real, live doctorate degree from Leeds Metropolitan University in England! Alexander was one of nine talented individuals to receive an honorary degree from the university for the achievement of general awesomeness. (Okay, so the actual piece of paper says "Doctorate in the Arts." Whatever.)

Alexander smiled and doffed his traditional hat as he showed off his diploma—and showed the world at large just how swoon-worthy our favorite Swede is even when he's not in vampire drag. Big congrats to ASkars on a well-deserved honor! He can borrow a book from our academic library anytime.

Ryan Gosling Stars In 'Hey Girl: The Sequel'

Posted 7/20/11 10:13 am EST by Kat Rosenfield in Eye Candy, Random Yet Notable, Videos

Here at Hollywood Crush, there's nothing we love more than a nice, ripe Ryan Gosling meme...except, of course, for a nice, ripe Ryan Gosling meme read aloud by Ryan Gosling. And fortunately for Gosling-lovers everywhere, Ryan was game to once again perform a dramatic reading of various posts from the F--- Yeah! Ryan Gosling Tumblr during our chat at the "Crazy, Stupid, Love." junket.

Well, that is, if he can stop laughing first. Or is he crying? Hard to tell! But the man turns an absolutely lovely shade of crimson before getting it just under control enough to squeak out, "This is so stupid!"

Yeah it is. Stupid AWESOME!

Betty White Is Latest To Get Marine Ball Proposal

Posted 7/18/11 3:13 pm EST by Amy Wilkinson in Current Affairs, Random Yet Notable

Could a "Golden Girl" be added to the Marine Corps Ball guest list?

Following in the footsteps of two fellow marines who asked out "Friends With Benefits" co-stars Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake via YouTube, Marine Sgt. Ray Lewis has created his own online video to request the presence of 89-year-old Betty White.

"She's funny. She's sweet. She's mature. She's an all-around perfect woman," Ray said, explaining his unconventional pick.

No word yet from Betty's camp regarding the invite.

Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez Crash Wedding: 3 More Celebrity Couple Cameos We'd Say 'I Do' To

Posted 7/18/11 12:13 pm EST by Kat Rosenfield in Current Affairs, Love...Actually?, Random Yet Notable

Talk about welcome wedding crashers! Gossip Cop reports that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez made a surprise appearance at two strangers' post-nuptial reception, after the wedding DJ played Justin's "One Less Lonely Girl" for the gathered guests. No, it wasn't a planned cameo; the pair overheard the song during a nighttime stroll on the beach and decided to see where the music was coming from. The two popped in, posed for pictures with the newlywed couple and their guests, and then politely took their leave. (No word on whether they stayed long enough to eat cake.)

Meanwhile, we couldn't help thinking about which other celebrity couples we'd love to have as surprise, uninvited guests at one of the 3 million weddings we have to attend this summer. For instance...

5 'Harry Potter' Spells We Totally Want In Real Life

Posted 7/15/11 12:18 pm EST by Jyll Saskin in Hot Stuff, Movies, Random Yet Notable

Now that we've read all seven books and seen all eight movies, we're seriously ailing with Harry Potter Withdrawal. You may recognize the symptoms: lethargy, confusion, compulsively re-reading the series, tweeting @jk_rowling obsessively begging for sequels. In between spontaneous crying jags, we got to thinking about how completely awesome it would be if we could perform even the tiniest bit of magic in real life.

Harry’s signature spell is Expelliarmus, the Disarming Spell; being the noble hero, he opts to disarm his opponents rather than use a killing or pain-inducing incantation. But if we weren’t mere magic-less Muggles, what would our signature spell be? Here are our top five contenders:
