Last week on the Mr. Skin blog we posted the trailer for the new arthouse mope-fest Melancholia , directed by Antichrist ‘s Lars Von Trier . At the time we weren’t sure if a faraway woman lying nude on a rock was the film’s star, Kirsten Dunst , a body double, or another character entirely. Well, Mr. Skin’s crack team of nippleologists have skinspected the footage, and they’re saying that’s definitely Kirsten displaying FFN in that shot. Let’s indulge in a quick round of com-bare and contr-ass, shall we? The shot in the trailer: The same shot, zoomed in: Those certainly look like Kirsten’s high cheekbones and full funbags to us! What do you think? Kirsten’s career has taken a skinteresting trajectory recently; though she’s been acting in films since she was a child, she only started doing nude scenes last year, at age 28. She appeared topless in All Good Things (2010), and now we’ve (probably) got Ms. Dunst’s cunst free from its lingerie cage. Must be all of that, how you say, European influence.
‘I had to read it at [director] Wes Craven’s house,’ Emma Roberts recalls of her first look. By Kara Warner Courteney Cox in “Scream 4” Photo: Gemma La Mana/ Dimension Films With all the secretiveness surrounding the plot details of the “Scream” movies, it’s natural to assume that the general public goes into the films with as little knowledge as the studio can prevent them from acquiring. (Even journalists are asked to refrain from reviewing or commenting on the film until it opens.) But what about the actors? How much are they privy to when they sign on? MTV News recently caught up with the “Scream 4” cast to find out first, why we should believe their characters are not the killer and second, how much of the script they get to read before they sign on. “[I got] the middle bit, the middle section,” Hayden Panettiere told us. “I was in Germany and [the filmmakers] had somebody fly to Germany, meet me at home to watch me read the middle part of the script, so there was no beginning, no end, subject to change,” she explained. “There’s just something very funny about somebody sitting there watching you read it to make sure you don’t sneak pictures or go sending it anywhere. You feel like your life may be in jeopardy if, God forbid, anything got out.” “When I first read the script, I had to read it at [director] Wes Craven’s house,” Emma Roberts revealed. “So I couldn’t even have it sent to my house. When we got our scripts on set, they all had our names on them and I remember I was getting out of my car to go to work one day and I dropped my script and, literally, the pages were everywhere and I was in this parking lot chasing after all of my pages and, of course, the last few pages were floating away from me,” she recalled. “I grabbed them and brought them to my trailer, [thinking], ‘OK, I don’t know what to do with all this paper, I’m so nervous to be carrying this around.’ ” Franchise veteran David Arquette wasn’t able to pull rank for extra information either. “I didn’t receive a full script, no,” Arquette said. “It’s always been a whirlwind when these films get going. You never really know what’s happening, what’s going to happen, and also how it works in the films … when I go see these movies, there’s a lot of, ‘Oh, they kept that? Wow, that worked. Oooh, scary.’ ” Jokesters Adam Brody and Anthony Anderson, who play buddy cops Hoff and Perkins in the film, claimed that they still don’t know anything about the film. “I’m still getting pages now,” Anderson said. “I got the whole thing, and then they took it back and then gave me another one,” Brody bragged. “For as secret as it was — and I was really paranoid that I had it in my hotel room or backpack forever — it says your name on it and I thought, ‘I’m going to blow this whole thing,’ so surprisingly they gave it to me and let me keep it and I didn’t want it,” he said. “Honestly, I don’t think they gave us the actual script,” Anderson continued. “I think they gave us some type of story with our name on it, to scare us,” he claimed. “Because every time I got to work, the lines that were in the script that I had studied the night before were not the lines we were doing that day at work.” Do you plan to see “Scream 4”?

We’ll chat with RPattz, Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz and more Sunday at 5 p.m. ET. By Eric Ditzian Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon in “Water for Elephants” Photo: 20th Century Fox Third time’s a charm! Back in March, MTV News sat down for a 30-minute live chat with Robert Pattinson after the star introduced an exclusive “Water for Elephants” clip. Then we met up with the 24-year-old star again at the “WFE” press day for another extended conversation about everything from “Breaking Dawn” to his favorite TV shows . Now, for the third time in less than a month, we’ll once again be talking to Pattinson — and we’ll be bringing the interview to you live on MTV.com. At this Sunday’s “Water for Elephants” red-carpet premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City on Sunday, at 5 p.m. ET, host Josh Horowitz will not only be chatting with Pattinson but with Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz, Hal Holbrook, Ken Foree, Donna Scott, director Francis Lawrence, best-selling author Sara Gruen, and other celebrity guests. And you’ll have a chance to submit questions for Pattinson and his co-stars. Questions can be submitted on MTV.com or via Twitter, using @MTVNews and the hashtag #AskWFE. Based on Gruen’s acclaimed novel, the film follows a veterinary school student named Jacob (Pattinson), who joins a circus around the time of the Great Depression and falls in love with star performer Marlena (Reese Witherspoon). Marlena, however, is married to a charismatic but cruel animal trainer named August (Christoph Waltz), a man who stands dangerously in the way of Jacob and Marlena’s pursuit of lasting love. “It felt like it was kind of magical in many ways, because we were out in the desert shooting,” Pattinson said of the production. “There was nothing from the modern world around. It was a different experience for me. It wasn’t in a studio or anything.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Water for Elephants.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

The long, arduous journey that Priest has taken to theatrical release is fairly well-documented (check out Jen Yamato’s report on the matter — and the exciting footage Team Priest debuted at WonderCon — here ), but now that the film is just about one month away from release, all that red tape can be forgotten. Taking its place? Some awesome vampire killing!
I’m Still Here star Joaquin Phoenix might cancel his early retirement to co-star in Paul Thomas Anderson’s much anticipated Scientology film, which was at one point titled The Master . Philip Seymour Hoffman will star as a charismatic leader a la L. Ron Hubbard; Phoenix would play Freddie Sutton, “an alcoholic drifter who becomes [Hoffman’s onscreen] right-hand man only to begin questioning his manipulative mentor.” Most importantly, this casting development brings us hope that the film, which was postponed last September before acquiring a 25-year-old financier , will actually be made.

Singer confirms the rumors about her Femme Fatale lineup on her website Tuesday. By Jocelyn Vena Britney Spears Photo: Max Morse/Getty Images After weeks of speculation, Nicki Minaj has at last been confirmed as the replacement for Enrique Iglesias on Britney Spears’ upcoming Femme Fatale tour . The ladies will also be joined by Jessie and the Toy Boys and Nervo on the all-female lineup. “This is the Femme Fatale tour, and I’m thrilled to have the hot Nicki Minaj join me and Jessie and the Toy Boys and Nervo will get everyone on the dance floor,” Spears said on her website . “Can’t wait to take the Femme Fatales on the road.” Minaj will join Spears after she wraps up touring with Lil Wayne on his I Am Still Music tour, which finishes up May 1 in New Jersey. Last week, Minaj told to MTV News that she was in talks to join the tour, after rumors began swirling that the sassy Queens MC would be hitting the road with the veteran pop superstar. The tour kicks off on June 16 in Sacramento and will run for 26 dates through North America, winding up on August 13 in Toronto. Select tickets go on sale on April 30. Spears manager Larry Rudolph, told MTV News that Britney’s tour will have the post-apocalyptic vibe that’s been present in her recent live sets and the video for “Till the World Ends.” “The way we come up with a concept for a show like this is we sit with Britney, she talks to us about what she’s interested in and what excites her,” Rudolph explained. “We start with the songs on the album; we start with coming up with general, broad concepts. She tells us what interests her and excites her, and from there, we have [the input of music tour director] Jamie King and [choreographer] Brian Friedman.” What do you think of the Nicki/Britney match-up?
