Kristen Stewart (Getty Images)It's a big night for Twihards: The Breaking Dawn trailer is now online! The clip was supposed to air later in the evening at the MTV Video Awards, but it leaked hours before the big show.


And, it's official. The MTV Twitter feed posted about the leak: "Hey Twihards, totally not blaming @Twilight's awesome fans, we heart you guys. Mistakes happen...all good! Still have surprises in store :)" read the post.
So what's on the clip? Lots of juicy stuff! It shows reactions from Jacob and Bella's dad after her and Edward's wedding invitations go out, and there's even some footage of their big day, honeymoon, and -- gasp! -- Bella's pregnant belly!

The movie's stars will be on hand during the awards show tonight for more "surprises."

Donning the trademark eyeglasses and up 'do, Julianne Moore is proving she’s more than all right as former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

The The Kids Are All Right actress, 50, has transformed herself into the politician, 47, for the new HBO film, Game Change, which begins production Wednesday.

Costarring Ed Harris as John McCain, the film follows the Arizona U.S. Senator's 2008 presidential campaign from his selection of Palin as a running mate to their defeat in the general election. Woody Harrelson portrays Steve Schmidt, McCain's senior advisor. Lost's Melissa Farman has also been cast as Bristol Palin.

The film, directed by Jay Roach and written by Danny Strong, is based on the bestselling book of the same name. Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman are executive producers.

Jennifer Lopez and Drake are getting animated. The superstars have been tapped to lend their vocal talents to 20th Century Fox’s Ice Age: Continental Drift, joining a cast that includes Keke Palmer, Jeremy Renner, Aziz Ansari, and Wanda Sykes in the fourth installment of the franchise.


The animated film, set for release on July 13, 2012, also sees actors Queen Latifah, Ray Romano, Denis Leary, and more reprising their roles from previous films. J.Lo is slated to play Shira, a sabre toothed who catches another tiger’s eye, while the Young Money rapper will voice a character named Ethan, according to Deadline.com.

The two stars will be warming up their vocal chops with their upcoming album releases. The “American Idol” judge will drop LOVE? on May 3, while Drizzy is currently working on his highly-anticipated sophomore LP Take Care.

The Canadian entertainer recently pulled out of the big screen drama Arbitrage so he could focus on his music. “I actually decided to work on my album instead of doing that particular film,” he told MTV News.

Sarah Palin  (Getty Images)No Tina Fey? According to The Hollywood Reporter,Julianne Moore will play Sarah Palin in the upcoming HBO film, Game Change.

The film, which is based on the book by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, will revolve around the 2008 presidential election events.

This will be a political jump for Julianne Moore: in real life, she and Palin have pretty much opposite political beliefs. All we can say is Moore definitely won't be fighting for reproductive rights and same-sex marriage in the flick.

Andrew Garfield checks out his Spider-Man costume. (Pacific Coast News)Andrew Garfield has been spotted for the first time in his full Spider-Man costume. The Oscar-nominated Social Networkstar filled out the familiar blue and red spandex while working on the upcoming comic book flick in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday.

Shooting in Los Angeles could mean a major continuity change for the new Spider-Man universe. Both the popular Sam Raimi franchise and the Marvel comic book prominently feature New York CIty -- a location that offers considerably more narrow alleyways and tightly-packed buildings for Spidey to swing, jump and web sling across. While it's unclear if L.A. will be part of the movie, at least we get a good look at what Garfield looks like in the Spidey suit.

We should note that while that's presumably him in the costume, the mask does make it impossible to distinguish him from, say, a stunt double. So hopefully we're getting the real thing, and not a doppelganger.

Make way for a new superhero – or at least a new version of an old superhero.

In the first photo released from the set of the fourth Spider-Man movie, a brooding and intense Andrew Garfield slips into the skin-tight, red and blue Spider-Man costume, officially taking the reins from Tobey Maguire in the popular franchise.

For those who have yet to get to know Garfield, the Los Angeles-born actor, 27, was raised in England and was seen on movie screens recently in The Social Network.

"He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit and humanity. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker," Spidey 4 director Mark Webb said recently.

First Mike Tyson and now … Bill Clinton?

Sure enough, that will be the former president sharing screen-time with the fun-loving guys in The Hangover 2, now filming in Thailand, a Clinton source confirms to our friends over  @PEOPLE.

Clinton, who'll play himself in the comedy, shot his brief appearance on Saturday in Bangkok, where part of the production takes place. He was in the capital city to deliver a speech on clean energy.

Fans of the first Hangover will remember Mike Tyson's memorable performance in that movie last year, while this sequel recently made news for the coming and going of Mel Gibson, whose cameo role will now be filled by Liam Neeson.

Directed by Todd Philips, the sequel, like the original, also stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha.

star power of T.I., Chris Brown, Idris Elba, and more proved to be a powerful force at this weekend’s box office. While it barely missed the top spot, the action flick still managed to pull in strong figures.


Based on weekend estimates, the horror film The Last Exorcism grossed an estimated $21.3 million at 2,874 locations, enough to narrowly edge out Takers, which came in at No. 2 after earning $21 million at 2,206 theaters, according to studio estimates. At this rate, it should have no problem recouping its $32 million budget.

T.I., who stars in and produced the film, traveled across the country promoting his latest project, stopping in Los Angeles, New York, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Las Vegas for premieres. A prequel was already being considered before the box office results.

Takers, which also stars Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen, Matt Dillon, Jay Hernandez, and Zoe Saldana, focuses on a group of professional robbers who plan mind-blowing heists. When the recently-paroled member Ghost (played by Tip) rounds up the crew for one last sting, they have to dodge a pair of detectives (Dillon and Hernandez) intent on putting a stop to their theft.

“The storyline is a lot edgier. It has so many different dynamics. There are so many stories within the stories. With these characters, you get a little bit more back-story,” T.I. previously said of the comparisons between Takers and the similar flick Ocean’s Eleven. “And we’re younger and better looking.”

According to the latest box office receipts, Takers comes in at No. 1, besting The Last Exorcism. Final data released Monday shows Takers took in $20.5 million, compared with $20.4 million earned by Exorcism. “The real #’s are out and we did it!!! #TAKERS is #1!!!” tweeted a celebratory T.I.

Now that she’s topped the Billboard charts with seven No. 1 singles, Rihanna has set her eye on conquering the box office charts with her feature film debut.


The singer will star in Universal’s Battleship alongside Taylor Kitsch (“Friday Night Lights”) and Alexander Skarsgard (“True Blood”), reports Variety. The live-action movie, directed by Hancock’s Peter Berg, is based on Hasbro’s naval combat board game.

Universal has set a May 25, 2012, release date for Battleship, which takes place in the sea, in the sky, and on land in a battle to save the planet against a superior force. Kitsch stars as a naval officer who leads the fight, while Skarsgard will play his brother. Shooting is set to begin soon in Hawaii.

Rihanna previously played herself in the 2006 teen flick Bring It On: All or Nothing. Her “SNL” skit with funnyman Andy Samberg is nominated for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics at the 62nd Annual Emmy Awards.

Big news coming from Comic-Con this weekend: Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo have been confirmed as cast members of the upcoming superhero flick Captain America: The First Avenger. The big announcement detailed that Renner will play Hawkeye, while Ruffalo will play The Hulk. Yes!

We'll have to wait until 2012 to see the finished product, but it sounds like the Joss Whendon flick will be well worth the wait.

Whendon said (via OntheRedCarpet.com): "I do think that I am putting together and extraordinary powerhouse cast and I'm just so excited to be in their presence and I hope they don't kill each other, because that'd be weird."
