Kellan LutzPicture Kellan Lutz swinging shirtless from a vine in a loincloth. His 18-pack glistening in the sun as he lifts you off the ground for an adventure through the jungle. No, we're not in the midst of writing a "Fifty Shades of Grey"-esque ode to Emmett Cullen (although maybe it was a daydream once)—it's Kellan's next movie!

The "Twilight" hunk has landed the title role in Constantin Film's "Tarzan." According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will update the classic character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs with a script penned by Yoni Brenner, Jessica Postigo and Reinhard Klooss.

'Avengers' In Love: 5 Heroes Of Romance

Posted 5/4/12 11:54 am EST by in Eye Candy, Movie News, Movies, Rom Coms


by Jessica Marshall

Have you ever daydreamed—as we often have—that one of the spandex-suited heroes of "The Avengers" would swoop through your window and whisk you away to romantic bliss?

Come on, we can't be the only ones who have fantasized that Captain America would fight for our honor, that Iron Man's energy would pulse just for us, or that Thor would swing that mighty hammer of his in our direction, right?

Whether or not you dig big-screen superheroes, it's hard to ignore that the actors who suited up to play the Marvel legends in this comic-book adaptation from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon are easy on the eyes. So easy, in fact, that it's no surprise that all of them have not-so-secret romantic film origins.

If you're going to catch “The Avengers” in theaters, you might want to rev yourself up beforehand with a little movie marathon that highlights some of the more romantic roles the film's stars have played.

'Vampire Diaries' Recap: 'Before Sunset'

Posted 5/4/12 10:38 am EST by in TV Recaps


Vampire Diariesby Cassie Title

A testament to how insanely obsessed I am with this show: I watched this episode on a tiny, static-y TV in a gym. I don’t even belong to this gym; my friend works there, and since I had to move out of my apartment at the end of last month and can’t get into my new one till mid-May, I’m currently homeless, and more importantly, cable-less. So, I apologize ahead of time in case I’ve missed something so drastically important due to my viewing experience. But that’s why I have all of you wonderful readers! To set me straight in case the Beacon Hill Athletic Club TV’s done me wrong.
With that disclosure out of the way, we can get down to discussing the (dun, dun, dun) penultimate episode of the season!

'Secret Circle' Recap: 'Prom'

Posted 5/4/12 10:07 am EST by in TV Recaps


Secret Circleby Ryan J. Downey

Faye kidnapped by Eben! Nick sent back to the grave! The truth about Blackwell revealed to Diana and Cassie, the truth about Charles killing Cassie's mother revealed to Diana, a bit of history about Jake and Faye, plus time travel, flying cars, a junkyard battle and of course, the prom! The events of "Prom," the last episode of "The Secret Circle" before next week's sure-to-be-a-doozy season one finale, were action packed in the literal and emotional sense from start to finish.

In recent interviews with Hollywood Crush, both Chris Zylka (Jake) and Shelley Hennig (Diana) promised us that things would get crazy in "Prom" (and next week's "Family"), and they weren't kidding! The mistrust and tension developing between the half-sisterly duo of Cassie and her recently revealed Secret Sibling, Diana, is a bit of an echo of the battle the pair's mothers had over Blackwell back in the day. Blackwell disrupted their parents' Circle. In fact, he used magic to make sure all of the girls in the last Circle conceived with their boyfriends (holy teen pregnancy epidemic!) in addition to siring Cassie and Diana himself. We learned in an awesome bit of time travel that Cassie's mother really loved Adam's dad and more importantly, that Blackwell has plotted his control over the current Circle for 16 years!

Chloe Moretz Chats Up Her Co-Stars In EXCLUSIVE 'Hick' Clips

Posted 5/4/12 9:43 am EST by in Crush Exclusive!, Movie News, Movies


Chloe Moretz is getting up to some trouble in "Hick," her new movie about a Nebraska teenager who hitchhikes to Vegas and encounters variously eccentric, colorful, terrible and twisted characters on the way. And while the movie won't be out until later this month, audiences get to meet a couple of Chloe's peculiar compatriots in advance, with two new EXCLUSIVE clips from the film.

You should have no trouble recognizing this pair of celebs in their "Hick" incarnations: there's Alec Baldwin, playing a plaid-shirt-wearing good guy with well-honed bachelor breakfast skills, and Blake Lively, playing a blowsy broad who's tickled pink by Chloe's outrageous claims regarding her origins. (Admittedly, she does make an awfully cute pathological liar.)

It's also the perfect time to take on a craft project, like Emmy Rossum!

Emmy put together this chic one-of-a-kind hair pin. With only three key supplies—it's inexpensive (she bought the dove charm for $3!), simple to make and looks cute with any hairstyle.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart Jet Out Of Vancouver After 'Breaking Dawn' Reshoots

Posted 5/3/12 1:38 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Movie News, Movies, Twilight Forever!


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.

It looks like Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart can finally toss their uncomfortable gold contacts for good. Two weeks after "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" director Bill Condon announced via Facebook that the film's stars would return to set for technical re-shoots, the pretty pair were seen arriving at the Vancouver airport to head out of town, presumably wrapped for good. Like, FOREVER good. (Our tummies hurt a little just thinking about it...)

Thankfully, we won't have to wait until the film's November release to spot the on- and off-screen couple together again. Both will be on hand at the Cannes Film Festival (kicking off May 16) to debut their respective films: Kristen's "On the Road" and Rob's "Cosmopolis." Would it be too much to ask for one shot of them on a red carpet holding hands? It's France, for crepe's sake, that's what they do there!

Francis Lawrence Named 'Catching Fire' Director

Posted 5/3/12 1:03 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Movie News, Movies


Francis LawrenceAfter weeks of speculation following director Gary Ross' departure from "The Hunger Games" franchise, Lionsgate announced today that Francis Lawrence has officially volunteered (so to speak) as helmer of sequel "Catching Fire."

"It is truly an honor and a privilege to bring 'Catching Fire,' the second chapter of Suzanne’s beloved trilogy, to the big screen," Lawrence said in a release from the studio. "I fell in love with the characters, the themes and the world she created and this chapter opens all of these elements up in such a thrilling, emotional and surprising way. I can’t wait to dive right into it and bring this chapter to life along with the truly superb cast and filmmakers involved."

Lawrence most recently directed heartthrob Robert Pattinson in the 2011 big-screen adaptation of "Water for Elephants." His other credits include "I Am Legend" and the short-lived television series "Kings." The 41-year-old also has a rich music-video-directing history, having worked with Britney Spears, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, among others.

Miley Cyrus Adopts A Puppy!

Posted 5/3/12 12:15 pm EST by in Animals More Famous Than You, Do-Gooders, Random Yet Notable, The Twitter Nation


It's true what our parents always taught us— you can't buy happiness. But apparently you can adopt it. Miley Cyrus did so in the form of an absolutely adorable puppy named Happy.

Miley took to Twitter to announce the news and explained that the dog was left in a box outside Wal-Mart. "I don't understand how people can be so cruel," she tweeted. "That's why we named him Happy." How precious! And while she's unsure of the exact breed, she said their best guess is a rottweiler-beagle mix.
