Speaking of The Lizard making a splash at Comic-Con , The Wrap reports that Amazing Spider-Man star Rhys Ifans was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery in San Diego. Ifans, who portrays Dr. Curt Conners a/k/a The Lizard, was on hand among cast and filmmakers yesterday to debut footage in Hall H; apparently, the incident occurred when Ifans “shov[ed] a female security guard” and “insulted” the U.S. prior to the panel.
Teen Mom lovers/parents/step-siblings Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra have been evicted from their apartment in Marine City, Michigan. The reason? Not paying rent. That’ll do it. The 19-year-olds, who gave their daughter Carly up for adoption, signed the least last August. The big move was even featured on Teen Mom . Ah, the wonderment of their own place … it didn’t last long . But, according to court documents, they stopped paying rent in December, so their landlord gave them an eviction notice and took them to court . It didn’t turn out well for the pair. Catelynn and Tyler forfeited their $450 security deposit, paid an additional $450 in back rent and moved out. No word on where Catelynn and Tyler plan to live next. Just hope they don’t decide to bring on Jenelle Evans as a roommate. Talk about a mess!
Today in news that doesn’t relate to Comic-Con: Deadline reports that Steve Carell, Jack Black and Nicolas Cage are in various stages of negotiations to star in Frank Or Francis for director and writer Charlie Kaufman. Details on the film are slim, but when it was first announced back in March , Frank Or Francis reportedly dealt with a filmmaker and the blogger “who takes delight in berating his cinematic talent.” (It sorta sounds like that movie Pitchfork that Jonah Hill was rumored for ; bloggers, they’re not just for blogs anymore!) Assuming Carell, Black and Cage sign on for Frank Or Francis — and assuming at least two of them are in talks for the lead roles — this news raises a fairly legitimate question: who among them is believable as a blogger?
A Harlem financial consultant wants Jet Blue to pay up for booting her off a Florida-bound flight after an airline worker accused her of not wearing underwear. Malinda Knowles, 27, filed a lawsuit claiming a Jet Blue supervisor put a walkie-talkie between her legs to see what she had on under her baggy T-shirt.The “former fashion model” says she was then taken to a hanger where she was asked to show her shorts, then returned to the plane. She was then told that the pilot would not fly with her on board. The agent told Knowles: ‘I don’t want to see your panties or anything but do you have any on?’” Knowles recalled yesterday. “I didn’t want to show him anything. He wanted me to basically show him my crotch. I was completely humiliated. It was vulgar. It was macho. It was rude.” Since when is it a crime to not wear underwear?

From Peter Parker’s ‘daddy issues’ to his new leading lady, Spidey clip hints at what’s to come in 2012. By Josh Wigler Andrew Garfield in “The Amazing Spider-Man” Photo: Columbia Pictures This weekend’s “Captain America: The First Avenger” continues the charge of superhero supremacy at the box office this summer, and the grand tradition of Marvel heroes is sure to continue a year from now when “The Amazing Spider-Man” swings into action. The first “Spider-Man” trailer hit the Web earlier this week (through both official and leaked channels), gifting comic book fans with the great power and great responsibility of delivering their snap judgments on Sony’s developing reboot — well ahead of its summer 2012 release. Of course, we’re not immune to having our own reactions here at MTV News. To that end, we took a closer look at the new Spidey trailer and found quite a bit to pick apart. Even The Best Web-Heads Have Daddy Issues Most “Spider-Man” fans are familiar with Peter’s relationship with Uncle Ben and Aunt May Parker, but the newest film’s first trailer puts a heavy emphasis on our hero’s birth parents. Although this territory has been covered before in the comics, it’s a story far less frequently told than Peter’s struggles with Uncle Ben’s death. But director Marc Webb has said before that “Amazing Spider-Man” will deal heavily with Peter’s daddy issues, and judging by the trailer, he wasn’t kidding. The Dark Spider If there’s one thing to take away from the “Spider-Man” trailer, it’s that this isn’t Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire’s web-slinger. In the hands of Webb and leading man Andrew Garfield, we’re seeing a Spider-Man story that takes itself much more seriously than the whimsical nature of the Raimi and Maguire era. Whether you approve of the tonal change will vary based on personal taste, but there’s certainly no arguing that this “Spider-Man” movie feels different than the last three, if nothing else. When Andrew Met Emma Another big change from the “Spider-Man” films of yesteryear is the removal of longtime love interest Mary-Jane Watson in favor of Gwen Stacy, played here by Emma Stone. Much of the trailer’s focus is on the budding relationship between Andrew and Emma’s characters, and already it feels as though they share more common ground with each other than Peter and MJ enjoyed in the first film’s opening chapters. Back To Start One thing that isn’t different from the previous Spider-flicks is that “Amazing” appears to be an origin story, just like the first Raimi-directed picture. It’s a curious choice: The original “Spider-Man” movie swung into theaters in 2002, and only 10 years later we’re seeing yet another re-telling of how Peter Parker got his radioactive spider-powers. There’s already debate about whether another origin story was worth the narrative cost, but we’ll reserve some judgment until we see the finished product — or, at least, another trailer. First-Person Heroics Speaking of other trailers, here’s hoping that the second “Spider-Man” spot puts a heavier emphasis on action than this first one. We don’t see Garfield in action albeit for a few shots two thirds of the way into the trailer, and even then, he’s without mask or costume. The final portion of the trailer, clocking in at almost a minute, focuses entirely on Spidey swinging from rooftop to rooftop … but all from the character’s own perspective. Again, it’s a curious choice to show the web-slinging action from Spidey’s point of view rather than allowing the viewer to gaze upon the hero in all of his glory. It’s bound to be a breathtaking sequence when the full movie hits theaters; as the capper for a first trailer, however, the “Spidey-cam” will likely turn some fans off.

Wayne Rooney #10 of Manchester United celebrates with a teammate after scoring a goal during the second half of the game against the Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field on July 20, 2011 in Seattle, Washington. Manchester United won the game 7-0. It might not make Seattle coach Sigi Schmid feel any better that Manchester United’s Alex Ferguson thought the final tally wasn’t representative of the effort Schmid’s club gave.

“Lost” Actor Doug Hutchison’s marriage to his much-younger wife Courtney Stodden has been controversial from the start. In an appearance on Father Albert which airs Wednesday, Hutchison, 51, and Stodden, 16, say they were brought together by a higher power. Hutchison doesn’t see his wife as immature. “Courtney is ageless,” he says. “And she’s right when she says she’s an old soul. And I joke around with her, I say, one of the reasons we work is because Courtney is 16 going on 36, and I’m 51 going on 21. So we conversely sort of meet somewhere in the middle.”Watch The video below: Courtney says she was a virgin before she married him. Watch below: The conversation continues on the details of the marriage. The View Asks: Is Sixteen Too Young To Marry?[VIDEO]
