Gwyneth Paltrow, Florence Welch, Mandy Moore Sing Oscars Score

Sunday night (February 27) marked the 83rd annual Academy Awards, but there were some moments when the ceremony was more reminiscent of a Grammy stage.
Gwyneth Paltrow, who has gone from Oscar-winning actress to singing awards-show mainstay — having performed "Forget You" alongside Cee Lo Green and puppets at the Grammys — was one of the featured performers in the Best Original Song category.
Paltrow, who joked to MTV News on the red carpet that she'd calmed her pre-Oscar nerves with a beer, called the ceremony "so, like, freaking serious" as compared to her previous stints on both the Grammys and the Country Music Awards.
After being introduced by Jennifer Hudson, a calmer Paltrow (who Hudson described as "a singing sensation and country music's new star") donning a sleek, off-the-shoulder nude and bejeweled gown, sang some of "Coming Home" for the Kodak Theater and millions of Oscar viewers around the globe.
With a starry stage set-up behind her, Paltrow crooned the chorus, "After all of my running/ I'm finally coming home/ The world tried to break me/ I found a road to take me home."
But Paltrow wasn't the only familiar face to appear as a performer during the ceremony. Fellow singer/actress Mandy Moore, wearing a flowing blue gown, sang the nominated "I See the Light" from her hit animated film "Tangled" alongside her co-star Zachary Levi, with Alan Menken accompanying them on piano.
Later in the telecast, Florence Welch, frontwoman for 2010 breakout act Florence and the Machine, helped Oscar winner A.R. Rahman perform "If I Rise" from "127 Hours" while images from the Best Picture nominee appeared in the background.
Welch, who wore a striking burnt-sienna gown, showcased her beautiful, moody voice as she stepped in for Dido (who co-wrote the song, as well as sang on the film's original track).
However, those were the only moments those songs and their performers had any Oscar glory on Sunday, as perennial nominee Randy Newman walked away the winner in the Best Original Song category.
Newman, who had performed "We Belong Together" from "Toy Story 3" at the piano on the Oscar stage, won his second career Academy Award, besting the songs from "Country Strong," "Tangled" and "127 Hours."

David Cross Pessimistic About 'Arrested Development' Movie Prospects
'I'll believe it when I see it,' Cross says at the Independent Spirit Awards.

An "Arrested Development" movie may be a priority in the eyes of former exec producer Ron Howard and creator Mitch Hurwitz, but David Cross doesn't sound confident that that's enough to make it happen.
Cross thinks the film's premise sounds "awesome" and knows that many of his former castmates want to get the cameras rolling, but as of Saturday night at the Independent Spirit Awards, he didn't expect to be playing Tobias Fünke again anytime soon.
"I'll believe it when I see it," Cross told MTV News.
Howard and company have been discussing the possibility of putting the Fox comedy on the big screen for years, but every time a wave of optimism starts gaining steam, someone comes out to express doubt. This time around, that person is Cross, and it will likely take more than a phone call from Hurwitz or Michael Cera's positive attitude to convince him that the "Arrested Development" movie will ever exist.
"Not even when I'm standing there shooting it," Cross said. "Not even when it's wrapped. Not even when I get to go do [automated dialogue replacement]. Not even when I'm at the theater and it's playing. The next day — that's when I'll believe it."
So, how long will it be before producers are putting Cross on that long road toward making him a believer?
"I have no idea," he said.
Cera, Will Arnett and Jason Bateman have all come out in favor of pushing ahead with the movie, but even if Hurwitz believes production can begin in 2011, Cross needs proof.
"OK, great! Show me," he said. "There's, like, nine people involved."
Basically, if fans of the show want reassurance that the logistics required to bring everyone back are feasible, they won't find it in an interview with Cross. The "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Megamind" actor just doesn't have faith right now, even if he would love to see "Arrested Development" return.
"I'm realistically optimistic," he confessed, "which is to say, not that optimistic."

New 'Never Say Never' Clip Shows Justin Bieber Singing With Fan
The 'Director's Fan Cut' teaser captures the teen sensation performing an acoustic version of 'Baby' with a young girl.

Earlier this week, "Never Say Never" director Jon Chu promised MTV News that his new "Director's Fan Cut" of Justin Bieber's 3-D flick would deliver 40 minutes of fresh footage, including different songs (such as "Favorite Girl"), some more shirtless shots of the teen singer ("Maybe some abs!") and extra scenes of him interacting with fans.
With the recut movie hitting theaters on Friday (February 25), Paramount Pictures has released a clip showing just that: the Biebs hanging out with some of his young fanatical followers. The 71-second promo shows Bieber — pre-haircut, of course — at an intimate gathering in Phoenix. While the pop star gives an acoustic performance on a small stage, his fans beg him to play "Baby," but he jokes, "I don't know that song."
He then declares to a very young fan, "I'll only sing 'Baby' if you come up here and sing it with me." Cue the cuteness. The girl sits on his lap and together they belt out the hit single.
This isn't the first time we've seen Bieber show off an easy, breezy way with his youngest fans. Last year, he popped up on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to surprise a 3-year-old Belieber named Cody who'd become an Internet sensation after her sister posted a video of her crying over the teen heartthrob on YouTube. As he tweeted later, "Makin faces with Cody!"
The re-released "Never Say Never" represents an effort both to goose box-office receipts three weeks after the film's initial opening and to feed the Beliebers' seemingly insatiable appetite for anything and everything connected to the star.
"We originally had a two-and-a-half-hour version of the movie, which we obviously couldn't release," Chu explained to us. "So we started to think about putting stuff back in that didn't have to do with our story but that we knew people would love."

James Franco, Anne Hathaway Shoot 'Grease' Homage For Oscars
Grainy '60s-style clip is part of a series of free-form videos this year's hosts have posted online.
By Eric Ditzian

Those wacky kids and their Interwebs! As befits two of the youngest Oscar hosts in history, James Franco and Anne Hathaway have offered a strong online presence in the run-up to Sunday's main event.
Last month the duo put out two promos in which they sweetly, and often haplessly, attempted to prepare for the emcee gig. And Franco has been posting free-form videos on Funny or Die — singing a tune by '70s British pop group Kursaal Flyers while receiving a shave and hitting up Judd Apatow for advice about how to host an awards ceremony. Now, via his Twitter account, Franco has posted another video, one that appears to have at least been shot as part of the Oscars, though there's no word if it'll hit the airwaves.
The 19-second clip is an homage to "Grease," with Franco as Danny Zuko and Hathaway as Sandy Olsson, during the film's climactic carnival scene. Made to look like a vintage film, complete with fuzzy color and grainy editing lines, the video is dialogue-free and set to a simple soundtrack. The whole thing has a slightly homemade movie feel.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, there's no word if the footage will be rolled into Sunday night's 83rd annual Academy Awards ceremony. The video does, however, give us a clue as to the potential nature of the hosts' opening number: It might well feature Franco and Hathaway inserting themselves into past movies. That concept jibes with what producers are describing as the show's virtual-reality set, in which "projections" will give the ceremony an ever-changing look and allow the hosts to carry viewers though "through Hollywood history with six or seven scenic transitions," as THR put it earlier this week.

Oscars Best And Worst Fashions: Experts Weigh In!
MTV News asked a pair of fashion-industry notables to share their choices for the best and worst looks in Oscars history.

The Academy Awards are just days away and that means that soon enough some of Hollywood's biggest names will be hitting the red carpet while donning some of the most haute couture they can get their hands on. But, before they hit the carpet, MTV News reached out to some fashion-world experts and asked them to weigh in on the event's best and worst looks ever, which the stars perhaps should take note of before they decide on what to wear.
We caught up with fashion-industry maven and People's Revolution founder Kelly Cutrone, as well as Faran Krentcil, digital director at Nylon magazine, who divulged their favorite and least favorite looks from Oscars history.
Best
Cameron Diaz in Oscar de la Renta, 2010:
Both Cutrone and Krentchil agreed that this was a winning look for the star. "On another actress it might have looked a little overdone, but Cameron managed to make the dress look like it was just lying on her bedroom floor, and she grabbed it on her way out of the bath. That's true star power, isn't it?" Krentcil explained.
Maggie Gyllenhaal in Dries Van Noten, 2010:
"I think that it's not that hard to put a beautiful dress on a girl and get away with it, and then there are people who really understand it ... I think that Maggie Gyllenhaal was a great example of that," Cutrone revealed. "Dries was not obvious; it's an inside brand. It's really about beauty and aesthetic."
Miley Cyrus in Jenny Packham, 2010:
Cutrone felt that Miley's look bridged the singer/actress from, well, tween star to teen star. She explained, "The truth of the matter is she has gone from a Disney star to a Vanity Fair cover girl and it brought it back to the middle. [She] really shined."
Natalie Portman in Lanvin, 2005:
"This dress was slightly see-through and the color of a gasping sea monster," Krentcil recalled of the outfit. "And its floaty shape and grey-blue-green-purple shimmer made it beyond chic."
Anne Hathaway in Valentino, 2009:
Krentcil didn't have much more to say than "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes," about why the beaded, white sheath worked so well for this year's Oscars co-host.
Worst
Charlize Theron in Dior, 2010:
"She looked ridiculous and she's so beautiful. She deserved to wear something better," Cutrone noted, adding about the outdated nature of the dress, "It looked like a Gaultier throwback piece, not like Dior. I didn't know Nancy Reagan was working for Dior."
Jennifer Lopez in Giorgio Armani Privé, 2010:
"All those angular pieces, they look bizarre, and I'm hoping that this season we get rid of the asymmetrical art pieces," Cutrone explained about the Gaga-esque style J. Lo wore.
Angelina Jolie, 2000:
Jolie went gothy that year and Krentcil explained that "the whole thing was so Addams Family weird, when she started making out with her brother, we were too distracted to notice."
Gwyneth Paltrow in Alexander McQueen, 2002:
While noting that Paltrow's Ralph Lauren dress in 1999 tops her list for great looks, Krentcil said about her 2002 look, "The thing is, the dress would have worked without the bun hair and the weird chunky necklace — go with a practically bare face and loose, wavy tresses and all of a sudden, everyone would have wondered why they weren't as cool as Gwyneth."
Kate Winslet, 1998:
"Kate Winslet was my favorite actress in high school, so I was really disappointed when she showed up in an Oscar gown that looked like Maria Von Trapp had made it from the Sound of Music curtains," Krentcil explained. "Fortunately, her Yves Saint Laurent dress last year was so amazing, it exonerated this bummer of a gown."

Sammi returns to the house on Thursday's "Jersey Shore"

The toilets are clogged, Snooki slept with an entire extended family and the boys ditched the Sitch. But here are my five favorite moments from this week's "Jersey Shore," in the embedded video below:
5. K9LOL
It was cause for celebration in Seaside, because Snooki's dry spell is over. And if you think JWoww is happy for her, check out the smile on her dog!
4. Step Right Up, Buy a Prize
The biggest difference between the first season of "Jersey Shore" and this season of "Jersey Shore"? The cast now has cheddar, yo! After the Situation couldn't win a tiny motorbike in a stupid carnival game, he just bought it instead.
Not gonna lie, that's a perk of being rich that I haven't considered ... since I was 10 years old at Six Flags.
3. Meatball Vacation
Mike was annoyed by Snooki and Deena's hyperactivity, so he jumped at the chance to prank them, secretly changing the final destination for their cab ride.
Although, we're not quite sure what they thought of heading to NYC since the audio was distorted beyond recognition. I guess a sound mixer couldn't fit in the car.
2. Pauly D Is the Funniest Man Alive
When Snooki returned from New York, she was furious with Vinny and Pauly D. While Vinny said Snooki shouldn't be mad at him for refusing to snitch on the Situation, Pauly D mocked Snooki's silly fight: "Well I'm mad at you for being mad at me."
Little does he realize MTV aired six seasons of trivial fights like that on a little show called "The Hills."
1. Sammi's Return
Guess who's back? When Sammi walked in the door, Ronnie went from smiley to scowly in 0.2 seconds. Let's have some fun with that breakneck reaction, shall we? Check out the embedded video for Ronnie reacting to all sorts of shocking news.
Don't miss "Jersey Shore," airing Thursday nights at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.

Justin Bieber Is 'Really Growing Up,' Says 'Never Say Never' Director
Jon M. Chu says teen star is 'learning how to interact with people.'
By Eric Ditzian
Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images
MTV News first interviewed Justin Bieber in September of 2009, when the pint-size pop singer was on the cusp of breaking beyond his core audience into mainstream pop stardom. Then 15 years old and relatively new to the national media spotlight, Bieber wasn't nervous so much as generally tentative, a bit clipped and repetitive in his answers.
When Bieber walked into the MTV Newsroom earlier this month to promote the difference in his on-camera demeanor couldn't have been more different: He projected a breezy confidence, at times humorous or eye-on-the-prize focused, and was engaging throughout.
That Bieber has truly matured — not just as an artist, but as a person — isn't apparent only to those who occasionally cross his path. Jon M. Chu, who directed and began working with the singer in August, has noticed the change as well.
"With the movie and going to the Grammys and being respected on so many different levels beyond just his own fanbase, he's really growing up and learning how to interact with people," Chu said.
The director said he noted a great difference in the young star's disposition following the completion of his seven-month, 86-show tour.
"He's just had time to rest," said Chu, who started shooting "Never Say Never" as Bieber was in the midst of that nonstop North American tour. At first, Bieber was standoffish. Only gradually did the two establish a close creative partnership.
"Half of it was just me gaining trust with him because I was in his face with a camera," Chu said. "It was very much like 'Almost Famous,' where I was just on the bus and he didn't really want me there. Once we got past that, we were fine."

With the countdown to the 83rd annual Academy Awards in its final phase (there's just five days left until the big night), there's still news coming out about the ceremony: It was announced Tuesday morning (February 22) that actress Scarlett Johansson and funny man Russell Brand will attend the 2011 Oscars as presenters.
Johansson, who appeared in last year's hit "Iron Man 2" and is currently filming Cameron Crowe's upcoming "We Bought a Zoo," has recently been the focus of the media attention due to her divorce from actor Ryan Reynolds.
Meanwhile, Brand, who wed singer Katy Perry last year and stars in the upcoming "Arthur" reboot with Helen Mirren, tried out his own style of edgy comedy during his hosting stint on the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009 and just this month on "Saturday Night Live."
This will mark the first Oscar appearance for the "Get Him to the Greek" star, who joked on his Twitter page Tuesday, "I am presenting an Oscar. I shall also choose the recipient. At last my work as Aldous Snow will be honoured, for best actor-ing."
Brand and Johansson will join fellow A-list presenters Sandra Bullock (last year's Best Actress recipient will hand out this year's Best Actor trophy), Jeff Bridges (2010 Best Actor winner to hand out the Best Actress award), Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Robert Downey Jr., Hugh Jackman, Reese Witherspoon, Cate Blanchett and Marisa Tomei, as well as two of this year's Best Actress nominees, Nicole Kidman and Annette Bening.
The Academy Awards, which will be co-hosted by James Franco and Anne Hathaway, will air live from the Kodiak Theater in Hollywood at 8 p.m. ET Sunday on ABC.

Jay-Z and LeBron James don't just want to hold a can of soda and smile for the cameras. The two men prefer to be hands-on when it comes to giving back to the community. So during NBA All-Star weekend festivities this past Saturday, Hov and King James personally greeted children at the Boys & Girls Club of Los Angeles and unveiled a newly renovated gymnasium at their facility.
For the third year in a year row, Jay-Z and LeBron's Two Kings charity teamed up with Coco-Cola's Sprite brand to promote a worthy cause at All-Star Weekend. MTV News spoke to James and Jay about their participation.
"If you stay focused and you follow your dream, stay in school, you can be ... well, you might not be this tall," Jay told the club members, gesturing at James as wife Beyoncé looked on. "But you can definitely make it in life."
Although the duo are longtime friends, they're also technically rivals of sorts. James, of course, now plays for the Miami Heat, while Jay is a minority owner of the New Jersey Nets. Nevertheless, the pair are close and have used their popularity for philanthropic purposes.
"You've seen Lebron James on TV," Jay-Z told MTV News of why someone like the Heat star is an effective role model. "Just that thing that's tangible, that they can touch him and shake his hand and know that this is a young man who comes from the same areas as they do, and look where he's made it to. So it makes it real."
James, who was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, echoed the Brooklyn-born MC's sentiments.
"Could you imagine if Michael Jordan showed up to your community?" James said. "Or whoever that you just dreamed and loved and watched everyday on TV and you thought that was superhuman, just showed up to a community [center]? That one moment right there could be the difference between you making a left or making a right."
In addition to making renovations to the Boys & Girls Club gym, Jay and LeBron also unveiled a mural by famed graffiti artist and designer Mr. Cartoon, who was also present at the event.
"Whenever I'm doing a big mural like this, I gotta think about, 'It's there for the youngsters, it's there for the kids, but I want it to be on a hard-core graffiti website," the Los Angeles native told us. "I want to motivate and inspire the youngsters. I want kids to look at it like, 'Man, I want to do that!' "
According to Jay-Z, actively participating in events like these, as opposed to just posing for pictures, is essential.
"We wanted to just have a further dialogue with the people we were doing business with," Jay explained. "To let them know we weren't just paid endorsers and gonna sit there and just be smiling with a can in our hand or something. We wanted to take this [business] relationship and do some good. Take all these people, put them in a room, take their power and influence, and use them. But use them in a good way. Use them to affect good all over."
That same evening, the Two Kings charity held its fifth annual dinner, which was sponsored by Microsoft's Bing search engine. Some of the heavyweights in attendance included Ne-Yo, Miami Heat player Chris Bosh, Kanye West, Leonardo DiCaprio and Drake.

'Apollo 18' Trailer Premieres Online
'Cloverfield'-style found-footage flick posits aliens are reason man hasn't been back to moon.
By Shawn Adler

Everybody knows that man last set foot on the moon in 1972. The brand-new trailer for "Apollo 18," which premiered Friday on Apple.com, asks the question: "Why haven't we been back?"
From director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego and producer Timur Bekmambetov, the trailer for "Apollo 18" mixes what appears to be archival footage of early space shuttle launches with "Paranormal Activity" -style "found footage" of a secret 1973 mission to the lunar surface, supposedly kept hidden from the public because of what the astronauts discovered.
"In the years following [Apollo 17] there was unconfirmed intelligence of an 18th mission," the trailer reads. "No evidence has ever been found. Until now."
Although not made explicit, the "Cloverfield" -style flick showcases several alarming incidents in its trailer, including a number of shots where it's clear the astronauts are not alone on the seemingly barren and deserted satellite. One particularly jarring shot shows one of the astronauts infected to the point of possession; another shows several non-human footprints in the gray lunar dust.
Conspiracy theories aside, and depending on your perspective, there actually was an Apollo 18 mission. Launched in 1975, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project was a joint mission between US and Russian forces, officially and symbolically ending the great space race of the preceding decade.
The alternate history story is the English language debut of Spanish auteur Lopez-Gallego. Released by Dimension Films, "Apollo 18" will hit theaters April 22.

"Yeah so it's true…i got a lil haircut," the 16-year-old sensation twittered Monday. "I like it…and we are giving all the hair cut to CHARITY to auction. Details coming soon."
Rascal Flatts' Jay DeMarcus was the first to get a shot of the Biebs' new look (above), and he posted it on his Twitter page.
Compared to the (fake!) bald look that Bieber debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this month, this haircut is nothing drastic. Sure, his signature bangs aren't quite as swoopy, but we think his choppy new 'do is just the update he needed. And, obviously, he's just as adorable as ever.

Katie Price Launches Day22 Fashion Line
She?s always looking for ways to expand her empire, and earlier today (February 22) Katie Price was spotted launching her new fashion range in London, England.
The model/designer/author showed off some new looks from her Day22 label while the paparazzi eagerly snapped up pictures.
In related news, Katie?s soon-to-be-ex-husband Alex Reid has reported demanded $9.7 million in alimony settlement.
Previously, Price had agreed to give him $1 million and buy him a house, but it seems Reid is getting a bit greedy considering they were together less than a year.
An insider told press, "Alex's demand for her to pay him USD 9.7 million as part of a divorce settlement have left her staggered. She can't help but think Alex is a very deluded man indeed."

Lady Gaga Brings Monster Ball Home To New York

NEW YORK — Lady Gaga took her Monster Ball home Monday night, hitting the Madison Square Garden stage for not only the second show of this leg of her tour, but also the first of two tapings for her forthcoming HBO special.
Check out photos from Lady Gaga's New York City show.
After a rousing set from the Scissor Sisters, the arena's lights dimmed and the crowd went crazy as the chugging beat of "Dance in the Dark" played, counting down Mother Monster's entrance.
"New York City, did you guys come to party tonight?" she asked as she appeared. "The Monster Ball will set you free."
In a sheer dress and nun's habit, Gaga performed "Love Game."
"My name is Lady Gaga, and I was born and raised in the unbreakable streets of New York City," she proclaimed. "Thank you so much. Tonight, I want you to forget all of your insecurities because I didn't used to be brave but you have made me brave, little monsters."
She then kicked it old school with "Boys Boys Boys."
"Are we gonna get divided now if I put this on?" she asked before pulling on a Yankees cap. After a quick chat with a fan, she went right into "Telephone," without an appearance from Beyoncé, despite fan murmurings that Queen B might make an appearance.
Gaga then sat at her piano and slowed things down with "Speechless."
"I come from a long line of Italian men. Freakin' eye makeup fell off," she interjected, peeling off her false eyelashes. "If you think I'm going to go on HBO without fingernails, you're wrong. The men in my family all really like to drink, so I spent my whole life chasing after men who drink as much as them, so cheers to all of you."
She tailored the lyrics to her hometown and the men she knows with shout-outs to baseball games and her former nail salon on Clinton Street. For a moment, the show became more cabaret then dance hall. "And God bless the New York Fire Department: They told me I couldn't light my piano on fire."
Before hitting the piano again for "You & I," she had a message for the excited, cheering crowd: "This is for you, New York. This is on my new record, Born This Way."
She belted: "There's something about Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island ... you and I."
Later emerging as an angel, Gaga performed "So Happy I Could Die." "Your outfit is amazing," she shouted to her fans.
Before the crowd-pleaser "Monster," she asked the crowd, "Do you think I'm sexy, 'cause I think you're sexy. ... You were born with a little extra strength. ... I'm up here to empower all of you."
In the midst of performing "Teeth," Gaga laid out on the stage floor and began to feel up a male dancer. "Just in case you ever wonder if I ever lip sync, the answer is no. ... Show me your teeth," she said. "It's a really good thing this is for HBO."
A saint statue was rolled out onto the stage for "Alejandro." "Put your hands up for equality," Gaga urged. "Love each other."
Given all the excitement, it was easy to forget the whole show is about Gaga trying to get to the Monster Ball. When she finally arrived at the ball, she played "Paparazzi."
"Thank you so much for being brave," she told her fans as firecrackers exploded from her bra. "And when they ask you 'How was Lady Gaga?' you can tell them we burned the place to the f---ing ground. I don't want to be your queen. You were born this way, baby."
After a short intermission, Mother Monster reappeared for an encore, pleasing the room with "Bad Romance." "You'd better not leave when this song is over 'cause there's just one more surprise," she promised. "You're my heart and soul."
She stood fierce and proud, taking in the crowd. "I might do something a little extra special for you, but only if you scream really slutty for me," she proclaimed before exiting the stage as the band played out "Bad Romance."
To the excitement of her fans, Gaga emerged in her Grammy attire to perform "Born This Way." "Where's all my girls?" she asked. As dancers took the stage beside her, she said, "We just want to remind you all tonight, we want you to remember to never give up on your dreams."
She sang part of the song a cappella, then played it full out, reenacting her memorable Grammy performance. The show ended with her and her dancers in an embrace as the curtain came down over them.

Justin Bieber Hits the Set with Rascal Flatts!
Following quite the hectic NBA All-Star weekend, Justin Bieber kicked off the work week on the set of his new music video in Los Angeles on Monday (February 21).
The Canadian hitmaker sported retro glasses, a leather jacket and a silver necklace as he joined Rascal Flatts bandmembers to put together the video project for the song "That Should Be Me".
According to an on-set source, the "Never Say Never" star even received a pep talk from a crew member before making his way onto the set.
Tweeting about the gig, Bieber wrote, "up early doing a video shoot for #ThatShouldBeMe with @RascalFlatts !!"
The 16-year-old also hinted that he may be changing up his look a bit, as he tweeted a short while later, "thinking about getting a haircut....hmmmmmm"

Liam Neeson As Hollywood's Newest Badass: 'Unknown' Co-Stars Explain
Diane Kruger and January Jones say actor's 'body of work and gravitas as an actor' add a new layer to action films.

He may have broken in with roles in sword-and-sorcery flicks like "Excalibur" and "Krull," but how in the world did the Oscar-nominated man best known for his quiet, dramatic work in films like "Schindler's List," "Nell" and "Kinsey" suddenly become film's most believable, in-demand 60-year-old badass?
It's precisely because of his previous work, "Unknown" co-stars Diane Kruger and January Jones insisted to MTV News.
"I wanted to be in this movie because of Liam really," Kruger said. "Especially this kind of film. ... I think because of his age and because of his body of work and his gravitas as an actor, I think it brings a whole other layer of depth to this kind of film. It feels fresh. It feels like, yes, it's entertaining and it's light, but there's a whole other layer of emotions and character work going on."
Two years after Neeson rocked audiences as a super-talented assassin out to save his daughter in "Taken," the Irish thesp is back to kick butt and take names in "Unknown," a neo-Hitchcockian thriller about a man bereft of an identity after a car accident leaves him unsure of who he really is. While unquestionably dangerous and capable, here Neeson also has to play fragile and flustered.
It's a dichotomy that doesn't just show up in his film roles, January Jones argued, but in the man himself.
"He's such a perfect casting choice for this movie, because you could be intimidated by him physically because he is fit and could cause you harm," the future Emma Frost told MTV News. "But at the same time there's something so vulnerable about him in certain things he says and certain things he does that makes you want to take care of him, there's both sides of that. You could believe that he could be a bad guy, but you could also want him to succeed."

J. Cole, Wale NBA All-Star Weekend Show Features Drake, Melanie Fiona

NBA All-Star Weekend is officially under way in Los Angeles, and Wale and J. Cole helped to kick it off with a sold-out show at the House of Blues in West Hollywood on Friday night. The Roc Nation duo treated their fans, who had braved the uncharacteristically cold and damp Southern California weather, with an amazing performance as well as a surprise guest.
Drake hit the stage during J. Cole's set to perform their salacious smash hit "In the Morning." The crowd erupted as soon as the track began to play, but it got even louder once Drake hit the stage to seduce nearly every young lady in attendance with his romantic style.
"Baby, you wintertime cold/ The night is still young, drink that dinner wine slow/ I'm trying to make the goose bumps on your inner thigh show."
J. Cole and Drake released the video for the track this past week on Valentine's Day. It features behind-the-scenes footage from their Paris stop on Drake's Lights, Dreams and Nightmares European tour. When MTV News caught up with Cole before the show, he said that video was meant to be something really organic, even though it's becoming something much bigger.
"It was really a viral video. At the end of the day, it wasn't supposed to be a Hype Williams production or nothing. I wanted it to be really organic, just to document the tour. Just to document that moment in my life, or our lives, touring Europe for the first time."
Cole said this was his first All-Star weekend, and he loved the energy it brought to the town. He has been in L.A. for two weeks now, since the Grammy Awards as well as working on his project with Kendrick Lamar. He said he hopes to play in the All-Star celebrity game next year to fulfill his hoop dreams.
Another Canadian singer hopped on the stage as well. Fellow Roc Nation artist Melanie Fiona joined Cole and Wale onstage for their first-ever performance of Wale's "Beautiful Bliss."
Wale opened his show with his usual vigor. During his set, which included tracks from his More About Nothing mixtape and Attention Deficit, the crowd roared once his collaboration with Waka Flocka and Roscoe Dash came on. But by that time, he had already cleared a space for himself to dance and shake his dreads as the crowd helped him rap. As far as he was concerned, it was business as usual, making sure the crowd had an amazing time.
"We're used to this now. We've done a lot of sold-out shows together. I just think the significance of this is it being All-Star weekend," Wale said. "I think being a quote-unquote 'real' hip-hop show, that's what makes it special."

'Thor' Director Kenneth Branagh Dishes Plot Details After Trailer Drops
'The story involves a clash with an ice planet and the frost giants who live therein,' Branagh explains.
By Eric Ditzian

The latest "Thor" trailer spends far less time exploring the fantastical world of Asgard than it does delving into the mighty warrior's Earth-based, conspiracy-filled, fish-out-of-water story. That's hardly surprising.
Even given the film's Marvel badge-o-cool, a film that spans the unknown universe, touching on American scientists and mythical frosty villains, can come off a little hokey — more "Masters of the Universe" than previous Marvel blockbusters like "Iron Man." Thus the new trailer hits on Thor's humorous side, his ass-kicking abilities and the enemies he'll face after being banished from his planet to our world. Precious little from Asgard can be found.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Kenneth Branagh discussed several villains that Thor (Chris Hemsworth) will face. "The story involves a clash with an ice planet and the frost giants who live therein," he said. "They — as might be suggested by the name — are enormous creatures of incredible power who have been robbed of their power and glory by Odin, Thor's father. What fuels a lot of this intense battle is revenge. This is an angry race, trying to get back at Thor and the Asgardians, the self-proclaimed guardians of the universe."
The new footage also features several looks at the Destroyer, a metallic, fire-shooting machine that will provide a serious challenge for Thor. "This series of metal bands form a giant, walking beast and open to reveal terrifying firepower," Branagh explained. "In the right hands, this incredibly powerful device — awesome in its killing quality — is potentially a creature of extraordinary protective powers. In the wrong hands, it is a nightmare."
Co-starring Natalie Portman, Kat Dennings and Anthony Hopkins, "Thor" hits theaters in 3-D on May 6, 2011.

'Hangover Part II' Trailer Drops Next Week, Todd Phillips Says
'It's truly a teaser, so it might end up frustrating more than solving questions,' director tells MTV News.

After the record-breaking success of "The Hangover" and the endless speculation about where the sequel would take place, after the casting gossip and the Mel Gibson controversy, after the first photos and the behind-the-scenes set visit, we're about to get our first peek at actual footage from "The Hangover Part II."
"We have a teaser trailer that I just finished color for yesterday night, so that'll come out next week," Todd Phillips told MTV News on Friday (February 18) while promoting the DVD release of "Due Date." "And I think it comes out in theaters on 'Hall Pass,' which should be next Friday."
It can't come soon enough. The film hits theaters May 26, and up until now, official glimpses at the production have been few and far between. The only reason for the dearth of Warner Bros.-sanctioned material, though, is that Phillips and friends didn't wrap production on the flick that long ago.
"We've had, like, one photo out, and that's just because we finished shooting on New Year's Day, and the movie comes out on Memorial Day," the writer/director said. "It's really just a crazy-tight schedule."
While Phillips wouldn't dish details about what we'll actually see in the teaser, he did emphasize that fans should temper their expectations: The footage will hardly offer a comprehensive dive into what the film is all about. "It's truly a teaser, so it might end up frustrating more than solving questions," he told us. "I love it. It's a true tease, if that makes sense. It's just one of those things that's gonna make you go, 'OK, let's see what more they have.' It's to pique interest and to remind people what's coming down the pike."

50 Cent To Star In Crime Drama 'Freelancers'
Movie will reportedly be directed by Jessy Terrero ('Soul Plane').

Like many before him, 50 Cent is making the transition from hip-hop to Hollywood. The rapper, who has a finger in various projects — from his own film-production company, called Cheetah Vision Films, to distributing a line of earphones — has signed on for yet another movie role.
According to Variety, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson will star in an upcoming crime drama called "Freelancers," in which he'll play the son of a murdered New York City police officer who joins the force and finds himself "on a team of rogue Gotham cops."
The movie will reportedly be directed by Jessy Terrero ("Soul Plane"), who has previously worked with 50 on some of his most-memorable videos such as the MTV Video Music Award-nominated "Candy Shop."
The latest news is just another step in 50 Cent's plan to move from music to movies. Making his big-screen debut in 2005's "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," the star shocked fans a few years later when he tweeted a picture of himself looking frighteningly thin in preparation for his role in his passion project "Things Fall Apart."
In fact, the 35-year-old seems to be continuing to take his craft very seriously. When MTV News caught up with him at this year's Sundance Film Festival — which he attended alongside his friend, boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., to promote their newly launched film company, Mayweather Productions — 50 seemed as ambitious as ever.
He not only said he feels as though he's "growing" as an actor, but also that he hopes to have a career akin to trailblazing Oscar-winner Sidney Poitier. As 50 put it, "Shoot for the stars if you would do that."
Does 50 Cent have the acting chops to make it in Hollywood? Sound off below!
