‘The Hills’ Stars Share Their Favorite MTV Movie Awards Moments

‘I thought Katy Perry looked incredible,’ Stephanie Pratt says. By Jocelyn Vena Stephanie Pratt at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards Photo: Getty Images As for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, there were a bunch of standout moments for “The Hills” stars Lo Bosworth and Stephanie Pratt — Les Grossman’s dance-off with Jennifer Lopez , Katy Perry’s technicolor performance of “California GUrls,” — but the biggest had to be when the West Coast MTV stars met the East Coast MTV stars. ” ‘The Situation’ situationed me,” Bosworth dished backstage at the Gibson Amphitheatre. “Pauly D rocked my world, and Snooki was amazing.” The encounter also gave Bosworth the chance to make former “Hills” star Lauren Conrad’s dreams come true. “My roommate Lauren [Conrad] wanted Pauly D to DJ at her birthday party, but Pauly D’s manager said no,” she recalled. “So I had him call Lauren, and it was awesome.” “It was a moment — I was glad to be there for that,” Pratt added. In addition to the cast of “Jersey Shore,” the girls also had nothing but praise for Jennifer Lopez, who returned to the stage as a singer and dancer alongside Len Grossman. “I think [Les Grossman] was my favorite act all night and J.Lo — incredible,” Pratt said of the mesmerizing performance. “I thought it was great. I thought Katy Perry looked incredible. I would say that the MTV Movie Awards, this year, killed it.” What was Bosworth’s take? “J.Lo was my favorite, by the way,” she said. “J. Lo — call me!” Relive the wildest, funniest and most-jaw-dropping moments of the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, watch revealing red-carpet interviews and get exclusive movie clips after the show at MovieAwards.MTV.com.

Sandra Bullock Celebrates MTV Generation Award With Kiss From Scarlett Johansson

Bullock puckered up with her ‘Proposal’ co-star Ryan Reynolds’ wife during her acceptance speech. By Gil Kaufman Scarlett Johansson and Sandra Bullock onstage at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ FilmMagic The last time we saw Sandra Bullock on the stage at a major awards show, she was collecting an Academy Award for her role in “The Blind Side.” Things were a little different on Sunday night at the MTV Movie Awards , where the lovable actress — whose movies have grossed nearly $700 million worldwide in the past year — celebrated her latest honor by smooching with Scarlett Johansson. With co-stars Betty White and Bradley Cooper joined by Johansson to present the Generation Award, Bullock got a standing ovation from the rowdy crowd. “Sandy, I know I’m not alone in saying I hope you know how loved you are,” said Cooper, screaming over the hyped-up audience. “Both for your incredible talent and for being such a humble and effervescent woman. I know you by many names: Sandra B., Sands, S Bomb, Supreme, Sausage, Sanda Duche.” Cooper bragged about getting to know Bullock on the set of the “award-winning” film “All About Steve,” which earned her a Razzie for Best Actress the same weekend she won the Oscar for “The Blind Side.” “You’re a once-in-a-generation talent,” he said. “You inspire me with the ability to shine through any darkness, and congratulations on this award.” With a Golden Globe in her pocket, as well as a pair of giant hits this year with “The Proposal” and “Blind Side,” Bullock’s nearly 20-year Hollywood career was reason enough to honor the actress. She’s won moviegoers’ hearts as everything from America’s bumbling sweetheart to damaged and righteous women and a few damsels in distress, all of it evidenced in the tribute shown before Bullock took the stage. Glimpses of everything from “Miss Congeniality” to “While You Were Sleeping” and “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood” were featured in the montage. “You are grace defined and I adore you madly,” said everyone’s favorite foul-mouthed granny, White, who got to know Bullock during the filming of “The Proposal.” “Our sex scenes were cut for theatrical release,” she lamented, “but don’t worry, everyone can see them on the unrated DVD. Sandy, you are a national treasure, which I know a thing or two about since my ovaries were recently named historical monuments.” Then, despite professing to be a huge fan of Bullock’s movies, White went on to prove she knows nothing about the actresses’ oeuvre, describing “Blind Side” as Bullock’s “daring and race-bending portrayal of Stevie Wonder.” Johansson, however, preferred to just keep mum, perhaps still holding a grudge over the full frontal scene Bullock shared with Ryan Reynolds — Johansson’s husband — in “The Proposal.” With her radiant smile on display, Bullock, who has won four previous MTV Movie Awards, soaked in the extended ovation, begging the audience to sit down. “So the Generation Award, is that an award for old people who have extended their welcome and we should make nice and leave so someone new could come in, because that’s not going to happen. I’m staying,” said Bullock, wearing a shimmering black minidress and apologizing to Cooper for co-starring with him in the only one of his movies that has bombed so far. “No matter what you might have seen or heard or read lately, I love what I do,” she added with an emphatic finger wag. “And I’m not going anywhere. Speaking of what you might have read or heard lately, I thought I’d take this moment to clear up a couple things.” She then pulled out a slip of paper and read the following: “I am not dead. Number 2, everybody has cellulite, not just me. Paparazzi need more flattering lenses. Whoever established the high road and how high it was going to be should be fired. And I’ve never gone 14 days without showering, while chain-smoking while crying on the shoulder of my sweet aunt Ludie, because I shower twice a day, I don’t smoke and sweet Aunt Ludie died a year ago.” When Bullock finally asked Johansson why she was there, the actress admitted she was filling in for Reynolds, who could not make it. That set up a way awkward moment between the two women, during which Johansson complimented Bullock for the really nice, really soft-looking kiss she shared with Reynolds, then slowly approached the honoree and proceeded to share a sweet lady kiss that shocked everyone. “Now that we have done that, can we please go back to normal,” Bullock pleaded, urging the audience to say a prayer for those affected by the devastating BP Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. “Because therapy is really expensive. Go back to making fun of me, I don’t care. It’s time to get back to normal.” Bullock joins a roster of past Generation Award winners that includes such funnymen as Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Mike Myers and Jim Carrey, not to mention Les Grossman himself, Tom Cruise. But on Sunday night, she became the first-ever female recipient of the honor.

Brushing Teeth Prevents Heart Disease

We would like to share an interesting article by Trixie Webb of Gwabble about Brushing Teeth . A research suggests that people who fail to brush their teeth twice a day are putting themselves at risk of heart disease. It is acknowledge that the inflammation in the body even in the mouth and gums has a significant role in the accumulation of clogged arteries that can lead to a heart disease. However, this is the first time that researchers have looked at if the frequency of teeth brushing has any contributing factor on the risk of developing heart disease. The Scottish study which involves 11,000 adults backs previous research relating gum disease with heart problems. A charity also added that oral hygiene was one factor in good heart health. Over the eight year study that has been conducted, there were 555 cardiovascular events like heart attacks and 170 of which were fatal. Research discovered that those with worst oral hygiene had a 70% increased chance of having the condition as compared with those who brush their teeth twice a day. People with poor oral hygiene were also tested positive in blood samples for proteins which are suggestive of inflammation. According to senior cardiac nurse Judy O’Sullivan who works at British Heart Foundation, if you don’t brush your teeth, your mouth can become infected with bacteria that will cause an inflammation. Good personal hygiene is a basic element of a healthy lifestyle. Brushing Teeth Prevents Heart Disease is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading →

Kings Of Leon Debut New Songs At Tour Kick-Off In Atlantic City

Eclectic Borgata crowd is treated to a set packed with Only by the Night hits and brand-new tracks. By Kyle Anderson The Kings of Leon’s Caleb Followill Photo: Barry Brecheisen/ WireImage ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey — Past the rows of neon slot machines, beyond the over-priced fusion eateries and light years away from the weekenders and senior citizens looking for their latest lucky break, Kings of Leon delivered a rock show. Atlantic City seems like an inappropriate place for America’s current biggest and most workmanlike rock band. Their steady rise — from indie darlings to radio stalwarts over the course of five albums and seemingly non-stop touring — doesn’t gel with the get-rich-quick glamour of the gaming tables of the Borgata. Still, that didn’t stop KOL from launching their latest summer tour from the Event Center located inside that very casino. In a ballroom more fit to host Fredo Corleone’s birthday party than a loud, sweaty rock show, the quarted overcame the artificial nature of their surroundings to deliver what has become the definitive rock show of the current era. In theory, Kings of Leon really shouldn’t work. They’re four dudes from Tennessee who have always had a greater following in Europe and whose sound is constantly morphing from album to album. Along the way, they’ve augmented their Southern-kissed approach to indie rock with healthy doses of dirty-water blues, U2-style stadium fireworks, old-school Aerosmith guitar solos and bits of funk, hardcore and scuzzy ’60s garage rock. Their palette seems almost too broad. And yet they manage to impress just about everybody. The cross-section of the 2,500 or so people jammed into a ballroom upstairs at the Borgata didn’t have very much in common (in one corner, beer-chugging MMA fans; over there were the bespectacled indie types; oh look, there’s a bunch of dads), save for one thing: They all went absolutely ape every time Kings of Leon hit one of their now-signature “whoa-oohs” during any number of massive sing-alongs. In fact, the only time the crowd didn’t hang on every word was when the group unveiled a handful of new tunes, each of which carried its own personality. The best was a sort of Zeppelin-flavored blues romp that imported a bit of Loretta Lynn for good measure. It struck just the right balance between melt-your-face rocking and twang-drenched beauty, and it’s going to be a huge hit. Even frontman Caleb Followill seemed to acknowledge the lightning they had bottled. “You don’t know these songs,” he warned before launching into the new material. “But one day you will, and you can say you were the first people to ever hear them.” Armed with little more than a single video screen behind them, Kings of Leon sounded like a band in mid-stride, not a group just starting back up again. “We haven’t played in a while, so we’re a little nervous,” Caleb announced to the crowd. Maybe nerves work for them, as the 90-minute set they laid out — relying heavily on the smash album Only by the Night — was sharp and on point. The band hit their biggest singles hardest and with a laser-like precision: “Sex on Fire” was a soaring four minutes of hedonism, while “The Bucket” had a spacious beauty that is somewhat lost in the recorded version. Most impressive was “Molly’s Chambers,” which has morphed into a metallic grind that closely resembles Nirvana’s “Breed” (and that’s a compliment). As the group ended their encore with “Use Somebody,” the entire crowd was nearing a lighter-waving, body-swaying moment of transcendence, and by the time Kings of Leon hit the final notes, it seemed like most of the revelers had arrived. Then they were quickly shuffled out the door and back into the slot-machine-fueled wonderland below, where it’s doubtful anybody was able to capture the same sort of high.

Gabe Saporta, Evan Lysacek, Kim Caldwell Dish In ‘When I Was 17’

Lysacek’s secret identity, Caldwell’s bloody prom and Saporta’s badass past get revealed on the show, airing Saturdays at 11 a.m. By MTV News staff Gabe Saporta Photo: MTV News We all have huge memories — both wonderful and horrible &#8212 of being 17. MTV’s “When I Was 17” features celebrities sharing moments that all of us can identify with (well, most of them anyway), and this week, Olympic medalist and “Dancing With the Stars” luminary Evan Lysacek , “American Idol” contestant Kimberly Caldwell and Cobra Starship’s Gabe Saporta delivered in fine fashion. Although Lysacek is a household name, back in the day, his friends didn’t even realize he was training for Olympic glory. “For a long time, a lot of my friends didn’t even know I was a skater, and the ones that did know didn’t really understand the magnitude of it — that I was traveling all around the world to compete,” he says on the show. Then there was one fateful day when his school principal decided to expose his secret to the entire student body. “My junior year was the first time that I competed in a competition that was televised,” Evan recalls. “My principal broadcast my skating competition for the whole school. I didn’t know ahead of time, so I kind of was surprised.” Kimberly Caldwell has turned heads on “American Idol” and the TV Guide Channel, and things were pretty much the same when she was 17 … only, back then, she was turning heads for an entirely different reason: She was the girl positively covered in blood. “When I was 17, I got asked out by one of the really hot senior boys to prom and I was, like, so excited,” Caldwell recalls. “And so I’m with all these seniors, and we go to this really beautiful restaurant, and we’re walking, and I had gotten this really, really pretty dress, and all my friends, like, came over and helped me get ready and everything. “I was so excited, and of course I had put on my ‘I’m so cool, this is not too exciting’ face. So we went to this restaurant, and before we even ate dinner, I tripped and I fell,” she continued. “My dress got split all the way up to my belly button, and my knee got a gash and it started gushing blood. It was a really, really sexy moment for me.” This might not exactly come as a surprise, but when he was 17, Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta was a bit of a hell-raiser. Seems that the manic mastermind behind hits like “Good Girls Gone Bad” was never far away from trouble as a teen, much to the chagrin of pretty much every authority figure around him — particularly on one fateful class trip. “We went on a class trip to Washington, D.C., to learn about the history of our government … and everyone had a hotel room, two people per room, two boys, two girls in each room,” Saporta smiled. “But really, class trips are just make-out sessions, so I went and snuck into one of these girls’ rooms … only this girl that I was making out with, her roommate who she was paired up with came back and freaked out and, like, had a panic attack.” The spooked roommate grabbed a chaperone, and before he knew it, Saporta was busted. But he still thinks the stunt was worth it. “I got in trouble the next day, and I got sent home from the Washington trip,” he said. “I got kicked off the trip, I got to make out with a girl, and everyone’s like, ‘Wow, you were making out with a girl and you got kicked off the trip! That rules!’ ” Don’t miss “When I Was 17,” airing Saturdays at 11 a.m. ET on MTV!

Johnny Depp, Robert Pattinson — Who Will Be 2010 MTV Movie Awards’ Global Superstar?

Taylor Lautner, Daniel Radcliffe, Kristen Stewart are also in contention — show begins Sunday night at 9 p.m.! By Todd Gilchrist Johnny Depp Photo: Robyn Beck/ AFP/ Getty Images Stardom comes in many different shapes and sizes, and the 2010 MTV Movie Awards pay tribute to all of them. There’s Breakthrough success, the acclaim that comes from a star-making turn or performance in a film. There’s Badass success — which certainly should speak for itself. And then there’s the Global Superstar , that actor or performer whose success has transcended geographic borders, age groups and gender to become recognized all over the globe — not only for their roles, but for themselves. Here’s a look at this year’s contenders: Johnny Depp From Edward Scissorhands to Ed Wood, from Jack Sparrow to the Mad Hatter — after so many unforgettable characters, it’s hard to imagine anyone doesn’t know who Johnny Depp is. Although he’s spent the majority of his career realizing oddball roles in movies of all sizes, he seems to have finally found a series of films that suit his larger-than-life characterizations, including (most recently) the particularly-mad Mad Hatter in longtime collaborator Tim Burton’s highly-anticipated film version of “Alice in Wonderland.” With “Dark Shadows,” “The Lone Ranger” and of course another “Pirates” movie on the horizon, Depp’s superstardom is in no danger of waning, and among the nominees, his is perhaps the longest-running. Taylor Lautner Prior to 2008, Taylor Lautner was probably best known as the Sharkboy in Robert Rodriguez’s family-friendly adventure “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.” But ’08’s “Twilight” brought him an entirely new kind of recognition — a recognition that he knew well enough to protect when time came to reprise the role in “New Moon.” Bulking up to proper hunk size, including a formidable set of abs, Lautner made himself more than a match for the looks and charm of Robert Pattinson’s competitor for Bella’s attention, Edward Cullen, and exploded across the globe as a star in his own right. Although he’s just starting to capitalize on that success by appearing in other blockbusters like “Valentine’s Day,” Lautner is the kind of movie star whose visibility more than makes up for his longevity. Robert Pattinson Even if he hadn’t stepped into the shoes of Edward Cullen, the dreamy, translucent crush object for millions of teenage girls (and their moms) from the “Twilight” book and film series, Robert Pattinson would still be a star thanks to his turn as Cedric Diggory in two of the “Harry Potter” films. But about a second after he offered his first in a series of longing stares at Kristen Stewart’s Bella in the first “Twilight” film, he became an international icon, and hasn’t slowed down since that film was released in 2008. Additionally, he immersed himself in several non-“Twilight” roles in films like those in “Little Ashes” and “Remember Me,” proving not only that he can open a movie on the strength of his fandom, but take a bite out of a variety of characters, whether or not they’re vampires. Daniel Radcliffe Radcliffe was only 12 when the first Harry Potter film was released in 2001 — and if you look back at him then, he was a tiny, adorable charmer in oversized glasses and a Hogwarts gown that practically swallowed him whole. But a decade later, Radcliffe has matured into not only the grown-up hero that Harry himself has become, but an adult star in his own right, offering remarkable performances on stage and screen that attract audiences of all shapes and sizes. As the first part of “The Deathly Hallows,” an epic adaptation of the final book in Harry’s saga, arrives in theaters in November of 2010 — you’ll see an exclusive clip during the Movie Awards tonight — Radcliffe is poised to become one of the world’s most recognizable performers. Kristen Stewart After a couple of uncredited and low-key roles in films like “The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas,” Kristen Stewart broke into the public consciousness as the daughter of Jodie Foster in David Fincher’s terrific 2002 containment thriller “Panic Room.” Flash to six years later, she creates her own panic rooms wherever she goes thanks to her unforgettable turn as Bella, the iconic wallflower-turned-vampire lover in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight book series. In the meantime, however, she’s done an amazing job showing that she’s more than the devoted girlfriend of a handsome bloodsucker, playing in acclaimed films like “The Runaways,” “Into the Wild” and “Adventureland” as she proves that her recognition and success is well-deserved. Don’t miss the live red-carpet coverage, exclusive movie clips and fist-pumping action on MTV News’ “Jersey Shore Blow-Out at the MTV Movie Awards,” airing live from Los Angeles tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

‘Avatar’ Vs. ‘New Moon’: Who Will Be MTV Movie Awards’ Best Movie?

Front-runners are joined by ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Hangover.’ By Todd Gilchrist Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington in “Avatar” Photo: 20th Century Fox With so many other fun categories for fans to vote on, it’s almost easy to forget about the meat and potatoes of the MTV Movie Awards , the big kahuna of the competition, Best Movie. Although a fan favorite (“The Twilight Saga: New Moon”) and a box-office champion (“Avatar”) make this a particularly contentious category, the most remarkable thing about this year’s Best Movie race is the eclecticism and quality of the films in the running. Take a closer look at the nominees below. Additionally, head over to MovieAwards.MTV.com for more information and to vote for your favorites. The big show starts tonight at 9 p.m. ET. “Alice in Wonderland” There’s probably no greater visionary working in mainstream movies today than Tim Burton, and his adaptation of “Alice in Wonderland” is the perfect pairing of moviemaker and material. Offering visionary, jaw-dropping visuals, amazing, inventive characters and a compelling coming-of-age story, Burton’s Wonderland is a wonderful place to visit. “Avatar” More than 10 years in the making, James Cameron’s return to fiction filmmaking is a breathtaking and groundbreaking new vision of the possibilities the silver screen holds. Featuring motion-capture CGI that renders every reaction and quirk of actors Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, Cameron creates a world unlike anything audiences have ever seen while taking them on a journey that harks back to the most basic formulas of film storytelling. The movie that made 3-D a must-have technology for almost all future films, “Avatar” is a game changer for cinema as a whole as well as a phenomenon unto itself. “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” Six movies after Daniel Radcliffe and company first brought J.K. Rowling’s book series to life on the silver screen, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” proves that the films still have plenty of creativity, and more than that, originality in them. Radcliffe continues to mature into the grown-up Harry Potter who has yet to confront his greatest adversaries, while director David Yates gives this sixth installment a unique look that sets it apart from the rest of the films and yet makes it fit in perfectly with what has come before. This film may feature a half-blood prince, but it’s indisputably, absolutely, fully entertaining. “The Hangover” Todd Phillips is no stranger either to raunchy comedies or to revealing the appeal of new comedic talents, having helped Will Ferrell become a star with 2003’s “Old School.” But “The Hangover” marks a turning point in the director’s career as he elevates misbehavior to the stuff of gutter poetry, assembling four equally talented but different performers to create an unforgettable, hilarious ensemble. Featuring Breakthrough and Best Comedic Performance nominee Zach Galifianakis and Best Comedic Performance nominee Bradley Cooper, “The Hangover” has “instant classic” written all over it, packing as much power as a punch from Mike Tyson. “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” Following 2008’s enormously successful “Twilight,” the cast reunited under the watchful auspices of “The Golden Compass” director Chris Weitz to expand the scope and drama of Stephenie Meyer’s book series even further. Bella’s relationship with Edward gets much more complicated when he departs for destinations unknown after a violent incident at the Cullen house, but her longtime friend Jacob threatens to become a surrogate or even possible replacement boyfriend after he does some growing up (in all the right places). A rich and dramatic romance that also includes plenty of requisite vampire and werewolf action, “New Moon” is the sort of adventure that lingers with you long after the sun has come up. Don’t miss the live red-carpet coverage, exclusive movie clips and fist-pumping action on MTV News’ “Jersey Shore Blow-Out at the MTV Movie Awards,” airing live from Los Angeles tonight. Then stay tuned for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Related Videos 2010 Movie Awards: Best Movie Nominees Get Ready For The 2010 MTV Movie Awards!
