Giving a glimpse of what’s to come, the trailer for the upcoming movie “We Need to Talk About Kevin” has debuted via iTunes Movie Trailers (watch above).
The suspense picture is led by what’s been described as an Oscar-worthy performance by Tilda Swinton, who plays the narrating lead role of Eva.
As for the storyline, “We Need to Talk About Kevin” tells the tale of “the mother of a teenage boy who went on a high-school killing spree trying to deal with her grief — and feelings of responsibility for her child’s actions — by writing to her estranged husband.”
Due in theaters on January 27, 2012, the film co-stars Ezra Miller and John C. Reilly while directed by Cannes Palme d’Or nominee Lynne Ramsay.
Fans are used to “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” on a weekly basis, so it’s only natural that they’re sharing their two cents on Kim Kardashian’s divorce from basketball player Kris Humphries on Monday (October 31).
Team Kardashian has flooded the comments section of MTV.com, as well as our Facebook and Twitter pages, to dish their thoughts on the 72-day marriage. And with Kim filing for divorce (citing “irreconcilable differences”) so soon after their August nuptials, many have been quick to pass judgment on the pair.
Facebook user Susan Araujo expressed her disappointment in the sudden news, writing, “Nooooo!!! They made such a great couple. Hoping they both can find love again in this crazy world.”
Nakia626 stuck up for the TV darling on Twitter, commending her for keeping a positive attitude.”He never seemed like a REAL fit for Kim. Good luck to her, glad she’s got her chin up!!” she wrote.
In a statement, Humphries said he is “willing to do whatever it takes to make it work,” but there’s not too many optimists among the Kardashian spectators. “Not surprised at all,” MTV.com reader Phoebe said. “Kim was way too high maintenance for Kris, and Kris was happy living an ordinary life away from celebrity, which clearly Kim doesn’t want. This is why it’s a good idea to date someone for at least 2 years before getting engaged. Most everything’ll come out of the woodwork by then.”
Amvanillabean took to the MTV.com comments section, writing, “Not surprised at all. I saw this coming a mile away. I believe that they only got married for content on the show. What else would the show be about? Publicity stunt for sure!”
Kourtney also took to Twitter to show support for Kim, writing, “Our sister is going through a difficult time but we’re a close family and are sticking together like always. We appreciate everyone’s kindness and support. @KimKardashian, we love you.”
Making sure that her young sons didn’t miss out on their Halloween experience while on the road, Britney Spears showed off her festive family on Monday evening (October 31).
The “Hold It Against Me” singer was in full costume as she posed alongside her dressed up beau, Jason Trawick, and sons, Jayden James and Sean Preston, it London, England.
Including a brief message to her millions of followers, Miss Spears wrote, “Loved celebrating Halloween in Londontown with my family! Just put a pic of all of us on Google+ -Britney”
Having performed a concert at Wembley Arena on Halloween night (during which she did a ‘Lace and Leather’ dance with Joe Jonas onstage – watch below), Britney is lined up for a few days off before resuming her Femme Fatale tour at Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, UK on Thursday, November 3rd.
Hey Beliebers, you can celebrate the holidays early this year! Just days before he officially releases Under the Mistletoe, Justin Bieber is gifting fans with the early release of two high-profile duets off the November 1 album.
First off, his highly anticipated Mariah Carey collabo, an updated mix of her Christmas classic “All I Want for Christmas,” made its way online. The song, posted on Rap-Up.com, opens with Bieber and Carey exchanging vocal runs. Mariah’s verse, which sounds very much like the original, goes first. Then Bieber, singing in a deeper register than usual, joins in for the second verse.
The sound of Carey’s original track is pretty much all there, with Bieber adding some new shine on the always-glittering holiday standard. “Mariah Carey is doing it with me! It’s incredible. So excited,” he told MTV News recently. “We wanted Mariah from the beginning, but we kind of thought it was really hard, so we didn’t really push the idea. But she’s on my label, so we reached out to some people, she got in contact with us, and Randy Jackson was actually at the studio with us, and I was like, ‘Yo, you think you can help get Mariah on the Christmas album?’ And he was like, ‘I’m actually going to see her in New York on Monday,’ and I was like ‘Yo, go do that!’ ”
On Bieber’s collaboration with Busta Rhymes on the classic “Little Drummer Boy,” which was posted on Hitfix.com, the boys threw some club beats and synths over the old-school Christmas track. The song gets a bit of an edge when Bieber, a skilled drummer himself, appears as his rapper alter ego Shawty Mane.
He raps lines like “Yeah, I’m on the drum/ I’m on the snare drum/ Yeah, I’m on the beat/ ‘Cause the beat goes dum/ I only spare heat ’cause I’m playing for the son/ Playing for king/ Playing for the title/ I’m surprised you didn’t hear it in the Bible,” while also singing the traditional lyrics from the song in between verses.
Busta comes in halfway through the song, spitting family-friendly lines in his signature rapid-fire style. “Bieber hit me back and said let’s make it hot up in the winter,” he raps. “I said, cool/ You know I’m gonna deliver/ Let’s collaborate and make the holiday a little bigger.”
“If you really think about it, it’s genius, because it’s rapping on a Christmas album … and, like, I’m rapping on it. And then it’s singing,” he explained. “It’s cool. [Busta's] got, like, a percussive voice to him [and] the beat was so crazy. I’m actually playing drums on that song, playing the snare.”
The album will also include appearances by Usher, Boyz II Men and the Band Perry, as well as a number of songs featuring Bieber all on his own, including the album’s lead single, “Mistletoe.”
Pop sensation Justin Bieber sat down with ?Extra?s? Maria Menounos to shed some light on those photos of him standing next to his Batmobile. The Biebs explained, ?Those pictures weren?t from me getting pulled over.?
The teen star, who has a custom-made Cadillac resembling the Batmobile, was reportedly pulled over last week after cutting off a CHP officer, but was let go with just a warning. Bieber said he decided to go with the Batman theme because ?I liked the idea. I just wanted it to be a Batmobile. It looked like it, so I put on the symbols and everything.?
The 17-year-old also set the record straight on adopting a dog, saying, ?No, it?s false,? adding that he has no idea how the gossip gets started. ?I dunno, people make stuff up.?
Although it?s only Halloween, Justin is already getting into the holiday spirit with his Christmas album, ?Under the Mistletoe.? One of the songs featured on the album is Mariah Carey?s tune, ?All I Want for Christmas Is You.? Bieber, who chose to sing the song in the same pitch as Mariah, said, ?I wasn?t going to change her song because it?s a classic, so I had to sing it really high.?
Bieber was also up for a little ping-pong challenge with Menounos, but before taking the paddle, had a special message for his fans. ?My Christmas album is coming out? it?s called ?Under the Mistletoe,? make sure to get it tomorrow [Nov. 1].?

Las Vegas? sexiest ghouls and goblins came out to Studio 54 at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino last night as Holly Madison hosted her 3rd Annual Hollyween, complete with a sexiest costume competition and special performance by PEEPSHOW and E!?s ?Holly?s World? castmate Josh Strickland. The hotel buzzed with excitement as costumed party-goers headed to the illustrious nightclub for the notorious Halloween celebration. Before arriving to the Vegas hot spot, Madison tweeted, ?Can?t wait to see all the creative costumes in the sexiest costume contest at Studio 54 tonight! Costume contests are so entertaining!?
Spooky and sexy revelers swarmed the red carpet hoping to catch a glimpse of what the starlet donned as her costume for the evening. The crowd cheered as the Vegas princess arrived on the red carpet as Rapunzel, complete with the fairytale icon?s long blonde braid. Madison looked stunning in a short, purple, shoulder-bearing dress and nude pumps as she carried a little stuffed Pascal, the chameleon from Disney?s ?Tangled.? Castmate and friend Josh Strickland joined the blonde beauty on the carpet as a sexy vampire in black leather pants and long cape. The pair posed playfully on the carpet for photographers as Strickland pretended to bite Madison?s neck in true vampire fashion.
The duo made their way inside to their VIP table overlooking the iconic nightspot, which was transformed into a gothic mausoleum with gigantic chandeliers and DJ Loczi?s DJ booth enveloped in a large coffin surrounded by LED screens and raised high above the dance floor. Loczi pumped up the crowd saying, ?Holly Madison is in the building everybody,? as the bombshell hung her long Rapunzel hair over the balcony and waved to fans below. Madison and Strickland danced to classics, like ?I Love Rock ?n? Roll? and Journey?s ?Don?t Stop Believin?,? and took turns playfully kissing Madison?s stuffed Pascal.
Before the costume contest, Strickland took the stage and performed his hit single, ?Report to the Floor.? Fans cheered as the vamp moved to the beat with his four sexy backup dancers. At the end of his performance, Strickland welcomed Madison to the stage. The crowd went wild and ecstatically snapped pictures as the host descended to the stage from an aerial swing!
Contestants nervously lined up backstage for a chance to win $10,000 in the sexiest costume contest. Madison introduced each contestant and the audience screamed for their favorite barely-there costumes, crowning a superhero duo as the winner. Jay and Anh Campbell as sexy Captain America and Wonder Woman took home the coveted cash prize and never broke character as they posed for photos. After wishing the costumed crowd an appropriate ?Happy Hollyween,? Rapunzel returned upstairs to soak up the nightclub?s atmosphere with Strickland for the rest of the night.
Across the casino floor at Tabú Ultra Lounge, TapouT fighter Donald ?The Cowboy? Cerrone celebrated his UFC 137 win over Dennis Siver. Hardly recognizable without his usual cowboy hat, the MMA fighter was festive and fun, dressed as a pirate.
Cerrone was good spirits as he smiled on the red carpet and waved to fans. Inside the venue he was joined by a small entourage in a private VIP area overlooking the energized dance floor. He partied with his friends to the beats of DJ Kidd Jay, reveling in his victory into the early morning hours.
Looking to broaden their collective portfolio, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are embarking into the world of restaurant ownership.
According to a report, the talk show queen and the ?Arrested Development? babe are investors in a new vegan eatery set to open in the San Fernando Valley.
As an added bonus, Ellen and Portia?s wedding day caterer Tal Ronnen has signed on to design the menu, which will be comprised of all non-animal ingredients.
Ellen has been a passionate vegan for years, telling Katie Couric in 2008, “I forced myself to watch a documentary called Earthlings that’s inside footage of factory farms and dairy farms. You see that and go ‘I can’t participate in that. I can’t be a part of something that is suffering.’ Fifty billion animals a year are killed and I think we all fool ourselves that it’s a quick death, and it’s a very disturbing reality.”
Kim Kardashian still insists she was in it for the long haul with Kris Humphries before filing for divorce — claiming, “I had hoped this marriage was forever.”
Kim just released a statement on the split — saying, “After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision.”
Kim adds, “I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.”
