'Five-Year Engagement' Star Jason Segel Is Terrified Of Breaking

Posted 4/26/12 12:06 pm EST by in Movie News, Movies, Rom Coms, Videos


We'd all agree bloopers are one of the best parts of owning a film on DVD, right? The behind-the-scenes footage provides laughs that are usually only available to those on set. But when you think about it, the reel is kind of misleading. Bloopers make it seem like laughing during a take is a welcomed interruption, but "Five-Year Engagement" leading man, Jason Segel, says otherwise.

"I'm terrified of breaking," Jason revealed. "Judd Apatow screamed at me once when I was very young on 'Freaks and Geeks.' I was laughing, and I was young, and looking back, he was just trying to scare me, but he said, 'Every time you break, it costs me thousands of dollars!' And since then, I'm terrified of breaking."

Posted 4/26/12 10:49 am EST by in Casting News, Movie News, Movies, Page Turners


With "The Lucky One" now out in theaters, it only makes sense that Hollywood's attention would turn to the all-important question...of which Nicholas Sparks novel should be given the big-screen treatment next. And according to Variety, your new Aspirational Nicholas Sparks Boyfriend will be—drumroll, please!—the widowed hottie father from the Southern-style romance "Safe Haven"!

Set in North Carolina, "Safe Haven" is the story of a woman who arrives unexpectedly in a small town where she knows no one—and where she remains lonely and unconnected until the love of a handsome widower with two small children tempts her to put down roots. (Prediction: She's trying to escape a mysterious and painful past which will nevertheless come back to haunt her just in time to interrupt her budding relationship with Local Guy. Are we right?)

'Secret Circle' Star Shelley Hennig Talks Secret Sibling, Tonight's 'Traitor'

Posted 4/26/12 8:00 am EST by in TV News


Shelley Hennigby Ryan J. Downey

Last week, "The Secret Circle" unwrapped one of the biggest surprises of the season: the identity of the other Blackwell in the crew.

Cassie Blake's half-sister is none other than her one-time romantic rival, Diana. Shelley Hennig couldn't be more pleased about the revelation surrounding her character. Speaking to Hollywood Crush by phone, she also revealed how pleased she is with our longstanding use of the phrase "The Secret Sibling" in our blog.

"I like how you worded that, 'The Secret Sibling,'" she said with a chuckle. "That's amazing.

"I found out [about the revelation] a few days before we started shooting," she explained. "It wasn't something that had been circulating with the cast. I was shocked but I also didn't believe it. I wasn't convinced, but I was super-excited. It wasn't until we were actually shooting it that I was like, 'All right, it's for real!' Because they'll change things. We'll get a script and then it'll be completely different the next day. I was excited to have that happen and also to see [where it's going to go]."

Lucy Hale 'Punk'd' Josh Hutcherson: Behind-The-Scenes Photos!

Posted 4/25/12 6:00 pm EST by in The Twitter Nation, TV News


"WHAT IS THIS?" That's what we exclaimed when we saw these behind-the-scenes photos Lucy Hale tweeted of her and Josh Hutcherson. Lucy is hosting tomorrow night's episode of "Punk'd," and even though we should know better (hello, the show is on MTV), we had a glimmer of hope Josh would be swinging through Rosewood.

Hey, we can dream! For now we're just happy to see what kind of antics Lucy will pull on Josh. From the trailer we learn the prank involves a car chase, but the "Hunger Games" hunk doesn't seem to be phased as he focuses on his cell phone. Though he does use some colorful language when stating the stalker is scary. Take a look after the jump to see our favorite behind-the-scenes picture of Lucy and Josh!

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.

Chris Pratt Begins A 'Five-Year Engagement' As This Week's Hump Day Hottie

Posted 4/25/12 2:30 pm EST by in Eye Candy


Chris Pratt has been on our radar for a while now, but it seems lately his star is on the rise in a major, major way. Between roles on the small screen and increasingly high-profile big-screen parts, Chris is certainly worth staring at. Also, he can make us laugh. Any man that can combine comedic chops with goofy adorableness is worthy of our Hump Day Hottie honor.

Check out this dreamy photo of Chris and keep reading for more details about him!

Vital stats: This Washington-by-way of-Minnesota native, 32, has quite the colorful back story—like so many Hump Day Hotties before him. He was working in Hawaii at Bubba Gump’s Shrimp Company when he was plucked from obscurity by actor-director Rae Dawn Chong. The rest is history.

As much as we love him, his equally funny wife, Anna Faris, probably loves him even more. Lucky lady!

Jason Segel, Emily Blunt Assure Us That 'The Five-Year Engagement' Is Not Your Average Rom-Com

Posted 4/25/12 1:23 pm EST by in Movie News, Movies, Rom Coms, Videos


Are you suffering from rom-com fatigue after too many tired meet-cutes and seen-it-a-million-times storylines? Of course you are! Which is why you might want to pay special attention to Jason Segel and Emily Blunt as they discuss all the ways in which their new movie, "The Five-Year Engagement," is not going to follow the well-trod path of the traditional romantic comedy—not least because both of these talented actors are just as sick as you are of all the cookie-cutter films in the genre. In fact, when Jason and Emily sat down for a conversation with MTV News about what makes this film different, Jason was the first to bemoan how predictable the usual Hollywood fare has gotten.

"I think that most romantic comedies are very formulaic, and you know exactly what's going to happen," he acknowledged, before listing off the usual timeline of events that almost all rom-coms follow. "But this starts with the engagement, and I think it's a very real exploration of how a couple—how the power dynamic changes over five years."

In other words: Don't be looking for a boy-meets-girl setup that runs into trouble and finally culminates in a boombox-over-the-head-style romantic gesture that leads to a happily-ever-after. Even if, as Emily pointed out, that sort of plot has become Hollywood shorthand for what love ought to look like.

Peep EXCLUSIVE Trailer For Rebecca Serle's 'When You Were Mine'

Posted 4/25/12 11:30 am EST by in Crush Exclusive!, Movies, Page Turners, Videos


For hundreds of years, people have been captivated by the passionate, heartbreaking love story of Romeo and Juliet—the two teenagers from warring families who fell in love, suffered greatly, and finally chose to die rather than live without each other. It's the most romantic thing ever!

...Or is it?

Enter "When You Were Mine," the hotly anticipated YA novel by author Rebecca Serle that looks at the star-crossed lovers through the not-so-starry eyes of Romeo's jilted ladylove, Rosaline—and discovers the hidden, sinister truth behind the greatest love story ever told. And if your imagination is already running wild with excitement over how this story could play out on a modern landscape, you're not alone: "When You Were Mine" is already on track to be made into a feature film, with Lily Collins in talks for the lead role and screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber giving the story a cinematic once-over. (Which means that you'd better get ready to cry: those would be the Hollywood heartbreak specialists who not only wrote "(500) Days of Summer," but are currently adapting "The Fault In Our Stars" for the big screen as well.)

But while it'll be awhile yet before we get a sneak peek at the "When You Were Mine" movie, we've got the EXCLUSIVE book trailer right here, right now! What would this story of woe look like in today's teenage world?

'Glee' Recap: 'Dance With Somebody'

Posted 4/25/12 10:41 am EST by in TV Recaps


GleeWhat has it been, a week since the last tribute episode? We all knew that it was coming, and last night "Glee" did an entire episode dedicated to the late Whitney Houston. New Directions did not take the singer's passing well, and two months on, they were still spontaneously breaking out into "How Will I Know" and placing an empty spotlight on the stage.

Will took the prolonged grieving period as a sign of something more. He told Emma that he believed the mourning had to do with the kids' fear of leaving high school. He was wrong.

And they told him so. Will suggested that the week's lesson be about Whitney and learning to let go. Sam brought up the singer's "problems," but Mercedes dismissed him and that entire aspect of Whitney's life immediately.

'L.A. Complex' Cutie Brett Dier Hangs With Dr. Seaver!

Posted 4/24/12 6:30 pm EST by in The Twitter Nation


Anyone else seriously excited for "The L.A. Complex" premiere tonight?! We were on board even before we chatted with star Cassie Steele. I mean, what's not to love about a series set in glitzy La-La-Land? Not to mention the seriously attractive boys that have become a trademark of The CW.

Speaking of which, Brett Dier is one such hottie. While he won't appear in tonight's episode, he's already begun filming scenes with Cassie—and "Growing Pains" father Dr. Seaver, apparently! It was announced earlier this month that Alan Thicke joined the cast to play Donald, though the details of his recurring character are being kept under wraps.
