Adam Brody Says His Kristen Stewart Comments Were ‘Ungentlemanly’

‘I sounded like a jackass,’ ‘The Romantics’ actor says of telling KStew to ‘quit’ the acting business. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Adam Brody Photo: MTV News It was the comment that launched a thousand hate emails and lit up “Twilight” message boards across the World Wide Webs. Previously adored, charming guy-next-door actor Adam Brody backhandedly told Kristen Stewart to “quit” acting if being famous bothered her so much. The firestorm was sparked by an interview Brody gave on Diablo Cody’s online chat show , “Red Band Trailer.” When Cody asked Brody whether he enjoyed his celebrity or if he would prefer to be known as just “an actor,” referencing Stewart’s comments about wanting to be left alone, his response was a bit testy. “It’s only gotten worse, I’m sure, being a celebrity,” Brody, who was recently added to the “Scream 4” cast , said. “At the same time, I don’t have a lot of patience for people who moan about it too much. Because there are many things you could do. … It’s like, quit … you don’t need to be an actor, so it’s like, if it’s that much of a problem … there’s the door.” And with that, the hate-on-Adam-Brody campaign began. When MTV News caught up with the man in question to talk about his upcoming ensemble flick, “The Romantics,” we asked him whether his response might have been taken out of context. “Aye, no, I just, I, this is horrible,” he started, seemingly uncomfortable addressing the hot-button issue. “It wasn’t taken out of context. I saw [the episode] and thought I sounded like an idiot. I did,” Brody admitted. “Regardless of how anyone else took anything, I would think that sounds very ungentlemanly and I sounded like a jackass.” A Hollywood actor who publicly acknowledges a gaffe? Well, done, Mr. Brody. Points to the former “O.C.” star for his honesty! What do you think of Adam’s latest response to the KStew flap? Tell us in the comments!

‘The Hills’ Finale: Kristin And Audrina Move On, Lo Moves In

Meanwhile, the show’s “fake” farewell scene gives a wink to the audience. By Amy Wilkinson Audrina Patridge and Kristin Cavallari Photo: Matthias Clamer Four years, six seasons, two leading ladies and plenty of drama later, the trials and tribulations of a group of L.A. 20-somethings — or our chance to watch them, anyway — came to a rather surreal end on Tuesday night’s series finale of “The Hills.” The episode began with Audrina, Lo, Stephanie and Kristin contemplating their futures , realizing that each was setting out on her own path. For Audrina, that path led away from Hollywood and the drama of Justin Bobby and his ilk. Lo decided she’s ready to settle down. “I want little babies,” she squealed. Seeing her friends’ certain destinies and the big question mark looming in her future made Kristin decide it was time to shake things up. “I just need a change,” she said. Meanwhile, Stephanie wondered if she should make her romance official with Josh, Brody’s motocross-racing friend. She decided to visit him at the race track to see how he felt. “You’re like the manliest guy I’ve ever dated,” she said. “But at the same time, the sweetest too. I like hanging out with you a lot.” And there really wasn’t much to say after that, as the two declared they hadn’t seen anyone else since they started dating, and didn’t want to. Stephanie finally had someone she could call her boyfriend. Kristin caught up with Stacie to dish about her Brody drama and discuss her plans for the future. “It needs to be a big change,” she told Stacie of the shakeup she was planning. “I need to be completely uncomfortable, and I need to be scared again. The only place I can think of is somewhere in Europe.” Where? She wasn’t terribly specific on that point, but she knew what she didn’t want happening. “I don’t want to wake up in 10 years still looking for that guy,” Kristin lamented. “Brody found his girl, so I have to go find what I want.” Telling Brody, though, would prove a bit trickier. When she went to his condo to tell him about her plans, he couldn’t help but ask (rightfully so) if her decision to move abroad had anything to do with him. She denied it did and invited him to her going-away party. “I’m not going to celebrate you leaving,” he said. “I don’t want to see you leave.” But in the end, Brody showed up at Kristin’s party, trying again to dissuade her. But Kristin wasn’t budging. “I need to go somewhere to figure out who I am and what I want in life,” she explained. “Don’t leave,” Brody pleaded again, bringing Kristin and himself to tears as they hugged. Lo finally decided it was OK to break her rule about moving in with a guy she’s not engaged to, but it sounded as though she wouldn’t have to wait long for Scott to put a ring on it. “I want this to be a long- term deal,” he said. “I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I’d marry you right now.” As Kristin grabbed her luggage and cast a final wistful glance across her home, Brody pulled up just in time to say one final goodbye. “If I were to know that if I were to go and see someone else, you were to leave town because of that, I probably wouldn’t have done it,” he said. “I don’t want you leaving.” “I can’t believe this is really goodbye,” she said, and the former couple hugged a final time in front of the Hollywood sign before Kristin departed in a black town car. But then, as the camera focused on the abandoned Brody, the backdrop was wheeled away revealing a soundstage — a sly wink to the viewers of this La-La Land reality show.

‘Predators’ Star Adrien Brody Reveals Fiery Effects Scene

‘Explosions are happening and you’re running through walls of fire,’ the actor says of on-set effects. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Adrien Brody Photo: MTV News “I know that I’m not one of the guys on the studio’s list for this movie,” Adrien Brody told MTV News in March of his starring role in “Predators” . But his craft and his commitment to the role — he packed on 25 pounds of muscles to play ex-military man Royce — convinced director Nimrod Antal and producer Robert Rodriguez that the Oscar-winning Brody was in fact the right guy for “Predators.” They wanted to find a balance between a Schwarzenegger-esque action hero and a more grounded take on what a modern-day solider actually looks like . That emphasis on realism extended from the cast to the actual production, which eschewed CGI fireworks for a practical approach to effects work. Almost everything you’ll see in the film — from furious explosions to out-of-control fires as Royce and his crew battle those vicious alien predators — was executed on set rather than within the safe confines of a computer. And even with that extra weight on his frame, those practical effects made for a harrowing shoot. “Explosions are happening and you’re running through walls of fire with flame-retardant gels on,” Brody told us recently. “It’s hot. You see the flame bursts.” One scene in particular, in which Royce finds himself caught in the laser sights of the aliens, required such an inferno that the entire crew had to don protective gear just to get it done. “That epic shot — it’s also a great trailer moment — where all the lasers are on us and on Royce , we shot that indoors in the studio space and the entire crew had respirators on and masks,” Brody said. “It was supposedly not hazardous, but I doubt it.” Not that he’s complaining. “I think it creates a very exciting environment,” he added. “You’ve got to do it and get the hell out of there.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Predators.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

The Hills Recap: Poor Ryan Cabrera!

Another week, another episode of The Hills that could have used a dose of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, who have just vanished from it with no explanation. Amusingly, Speidi’s real life drama is chronicled on the MTV show’s official blog, despite no sign of them on the show in weeks, or acknowledgment of this fact. In any case, the show was more of the same that we’ve seen in recent weeks – Allie Lutz continues to vie for McKaela Line and battles it out with Team Kristin. Seriously, this is what The Hills has become, and alas, what it will continue to be in all likelihood. Lauren Conrad and Speidi are not walking through that door! Here’s THG’s plus-minus recap of last night’s The Hills … Once again torn between Justin-Bobby and a superior guy, Audrina Patridge talks with Lo, who asks if she’d take J-B back if he changed. No answer. Minus 14 . Justin-Bobby gets thugged out at the club – and deep, man . Kristin Cavallari tells Brody Jenner that she warned McKaela about Allie and alleged break-in we’re supposed to care about. She’s so catty, it’s great. Plus 7 . Allie insists to McKaela that Kristin’s stories about her are, like, so totally not true and drops the classic drunk girl line: “They don’t even KNOW me!” Plus 5 . Everybody heads to Les Deux later – including Justin-Bobby and Ryan Cabrera, who have the most awkward introduction ever. Plus 9 , because that was real! Justin-Bobby tells Brody that Audrina “deserves the world” and doesn’t need grief. Minus 12 , because there’s no way he didn’t read that off MTV’s cue cards. Stephanie and Max are having a nice dinner when talk turns to her estranged relationship with Spencer Pratt and her DUI arrest. Double buzzkill! Minus 9 . When Audrina suggests that the “honeymoon” is over, Ryan says “If we caught each other at the wrong time, we need to figure it out. It’s your life.” Plus 5 . The cheese factor is amped up to 11 when, live in concert, he says he wants to sing a love song, which prompts Audrina to start crying. Words fail us. Wash . Kristin Cavallari Lutz Allie have it . Side note: You gotta love how Ryan, unlike the others who receive just a single name (e.g. Audrina, McKaela, Kristin), is always billed as Ryan Cabrera. Plus 3 . Stephanie says she isn’t sure if she is ready to date at this stage, at least until she finds a guy who understands her life. Minus 8 . Um, girl, get over yourself. At the Young Hollywood Party, Audrina Patridge hints at a breakup with Ryan. Too bad, because he actually seems like a good dude, despite the hair. Minus 7 . In vintage Hills fashion, an argument soon erupts between Kristin and Allie before Brody breaks it up. Poor McKaela just looks lost, unsure what to do. Plus 8 . Kristin thanks Brody for having her back, which he says he always will … unless he wants to nail some new girl. They walk off arm-in-arm, as usual. Minus 3 . Side note: We swore Kristin Cavallari was Heidi Montag for a sec with the makeup and teased hair – but a lack of HUGE fake breasts dashed our hopes. Plus 2 . TOTAL: -14 . SEASON: -6 .

The Hills Recap: Brody Crosses the McKaela Line

Tuesday, The Hills returned to its roots: Staged cat fights at clubs! Only the people involved were pretty random, as was the reason for said cat fight. What we’re seeing is basically a watered-down version of past Hills seasons. McKaela Line was dissed by Brody Jenner and found out her new BFF, Allie Lutz, is viewed as an insane person by pretty much every other star of the show. Yes, these were some of the primary peeps featured last night. No LC. No Speidi. Sorry, McKaela Line, cute as you are, you don’t do it for us, especially if you fall for these people’s games. Are you that naive? This is Season Six! Still, here’s THG’s rundown of The Hills , plus-minus style: The Hills returns to its staged cat fight roots . At Smashbox, where she shockingly got a job, McKaela is asked by Lo how things are going with Brody, but she says he hasn’t called. Stunning, really. Minus 4 . At Stephanie’s birthday party, Brody and Kristin Cavallari get cozy on the couch and … whoa! McKaela walks in. Plus 5 for everyone making it look fairly natural. All hell breaks loose when Kristin confronts her rival, Allie Lutz, and declares she will never like her after she broke into Brody’s house. We care why? Minus 3 . Brody ignores McKaela’s call with Kristin. Basically, this is 100 percent fake, and/or he’s such an ass he’s willing to be filmed playing girls. Either way, Plus 7 . Audrina says Brody and Kristin are practically soul mates. LOL. Minus 6 for that line no one would ever say and KC’s assessment of their “undeniable chemistry.” Speaking of Audrina Patridge , she tells Steph she likes when Ryan Cabrera is away so she can have “quality girl time,” code for “I’m sick of this loser.” Plus 4 . Comment rendered unnecessary. Kristin on Allie: She’s “the dumbest girl on the planet,” she’s “pure evil,” and looks like “a 45-year-old stripper who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day.” Plus 11 . Ryan tells Audrina he loves her despite her questioning their relationship … then Audrina meets Justin Bobby at his shop while Ryan’s on tour. Burned. Plus 10 . Allie tells McKaela that Kristin made up lies about her breaking into Brody’s house. We wouldn’t doubt it, but we’re also straight up confused/bored, so Wash . But Minus 33 for Justin-Bobby being on the show at all, because really? We haven’t seen enough of this loser in three years? Minus 5 more for the hair, too. J-B questions Audrina on her relationship with Ryan and offers a little advice. The extent to which Audrina self-sabotages her love life is staggering. Minus 7 . Kristin tells McKaela to watch out for Allie, and that Brody lies. Plus 13 , because we all know Brody will get with them both whenever he decides anyway. TOTAL: -8 . SEASON: +8 . Watching Brody Jenner play chicks is fun, but even that gets old. Bring back Speidi, get rid of Justin, and get Kristin a spine.

Hills Recap: Kristin Looks For A New Man

Plus, Audrina Patridge Reunites With Ex Justin Bobby By Amy Wilkinson Audrina in “The Hills” episode 6 Try as they might, Kristin Cavallari and Audrina Patridge seemed incapable of escaping their exes on Tuesday night’s episode of “The Hills.” After last week’s blow-up with ex-boyfriend-cum-friend-with-benefits Brody Jenner , Kristin was ready to dive back into the proverbial sea of fish to reel in a new catch. “If a guy came along, I wouldn’t not hang out with him because of Brody,” she told friend Stacie. The two decided to ditch Hollywood and head to Venice on a manhunt. But the night didn’t go as well as they had hoped, as the two were hit on by a tipsy klutz who almost spilled Kristin’s drink and a guy whose best pick-up line was asking if they’d seen the ’90s teen flick “Can’t Hardly Wait.” Meanwhile, on the advice of Brody, new friend (or girlfriend?) McKaela met up with Lo to talk about the Kristin situation. “It seems like there might still be something there,” she confided to Lo, asking if she should be worried about Brody’s lingering feelings for Kristin. Lo advised McKaela simply to be friendly to Kristin and, rather randomly, to interview for an internship with her employer Smashbox. Lo later accompanied Audrina and Stephanie to the Viper Room to help Audrina scout the Brit band Purple Melon. But as the rockers left the stage, another band took their place: the same band that Audrina’s ex Justin Bobby plays drums for! “I thought that was always a joke,” Lo said of Justin Bobby actually being in a band. Audrina said something about him being shy and letting his hair fall into his face while playing, to which Lo astutely added, “Like a Muppet!” Lo asked Audrina if she was going to tell boyfriend Ryan Cabrera about seeing her ex, but Audrina never really seemed to give a straight answer. She met up with Justin Bobby after the set, and the two shared a hug and a civil interaction, exchanging pleasantries. Not surprisingly, when Audrina met up with Ryan the next day for a tour of his new house, she was mum about meeting up with JB. Ryan told her he would be gone on tour for a few days; Audrina responded that it was probably best that way as she had been neglecting her friends. Does Justin Bobby count as one of these friends? McKaela ended up landing the internship at Smashbox, and one of her first tasks was to assist Lo during a photo shoot. This proved to be the perfect opportunity to seek more advice about her relationship with Brody. “How do you handle the ghosts of the past?” McKaela asked, clearly referencing Kristin. “Be observant, and if you feel like something isn’t right, it probably isn’t,” Lo advised. If only McKaela had been at Voyeur later on to see Brody getting his flirt on with Kristin after the two ran into each other. “You look good tonight,” Brody complimented her. She complained that he hadn’t texted her after their argument the week before, to which he said he was merely giving her space to cool off. The conversation ended with the two declaring their love for one another (platonically, we think) before leaving the club together. But Kristin wasn’t the only one to run into her ex, as Justin Bobby arrived with his entourage and began chatting up Audrina. “I don’t think Spike’s going to like this,” Justin Bobby warned Audrina. “When Spike’s away, Audrina will play.” Related Videos The Hills (Season 6) | Ep. 6 | ‘Ghost From The Past’ The Hills: Live After Show (Season 6) | Ep. 6 Related Photos The Hills (Season 6) | Ep. 6 | ‘Ghost From The Past’

The Hills Recap: Everybody Hates Spencer Pratt

Spencer Pratt is out of control. We’ve known this for some time at THG, but now it has gotten to the point where even his friends and family see he is losing it. Last night’s episode of The Hills, “This is Goodbye,” focused on Heidi’s husband’s deteriorating mental health, as well as Brody and Kristin’s renewed romance. Here’s The Hollywood Gossip’s official Hills rundown, plus-minus style: Holly and Stephanie lament being the only sane ones left in their families. Never mind that both of them have serious, well-publicized drinking issues. Plus 9 . After Holly rehashes how Spencer called the cops on Heidi’s mom , Steph says Speidi has no friends. Charlie is rolling in his grave as we speak. Minus 4 . Heidi and Kristin are friends? Were they always? Hard to keep track. Plus 3 . Spencer looks like he needs a hug. “Who am I without Spencer?” Heidi ponders. Hmm. Probably a reasonably cute, harmless, not brainwashed chick with friends and real-looking breasts. Minus 37 . Audrina Patridge visits her boyfriend Ryan Cabrera at the studio. He’s apparently still under contract? Minus 2 . But Plus 8 for his decision to skip that night’s drama. Venturing out of his hole for once, Spencer calls Audrina the “lamest girl in the club” which sparks an argument between himself and Brody. Like old times. Plus 5 . Heidi Montag has a threefold excuse for Spencer: 1. He has stuff on his mind ( Minus 3 ). 2. All guys are controlling ( Minus 6 ). 3. She changed herself ( Minus 12 ). Most awkward clubbing moments ever: Heidi Montag shows her crystals collection to Kristin as Spencer says Heidi doesn’t watch TV or use the computer. Plus 20 . OMG, Brody and Kristin are, like, so meant to be … but single! Holly and Stephanie say they are done with Heidi and Spencer, while Kristin Cavallari and Brody Jenner get down on the floor and eventually leave together. Plus 9 . The next day, Kristin says what they have going is good, whatever it is. Brody says he likes being single, and Kristin does too. Holla at friends with benefits! Plus 18 . Obligatory Lo scene! Steph says that she is flipping between being angry and sad over Heidi and Spencer. Blah, blah, blah. Stephanie and Lo are so boring. Minus 7 . The girls all are told by MTV agree to completely cut off Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Pratt. No communication at all. Plus 5 for effort, but we give it about half an episode. TOTAL: +4 . SEASON: +55 . Basically, it was an episode in which everyone agrees Speidi is insane, and Brody macked on Kristin. Boilerplate stuff, but we’ll take it.
