Nick Jonas Wishes ‘The Best’ For Demi Lovato

Posted on March 18, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘She’s been in all of our thoughts and prayers, for sure,’ Nick tells E! News about his former tourmate. By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas Photo: Andrew H. Walker/ Getty Images Demi Lovato is making strides toward the spotlight again after entering treatment last fall, when she left her tour with the Jonas Brothers early to deal with some personal issues. Now that the Disney star is out, freshly tatted and back on Twitter, it seems that one of her former tourmates, Nick Jonas, has some kind words for her. “I think that [we’re] always wishing the best for her,” Nick told E! News about his “Camp Rock” co-star. “And hoping that she’s had a good, healthy recovery. She’s been in all of our thoughts and prayers, for sure.” It’s a sentiment that’s been shared by Nick’s brothers in previous interviews. Joe Jonas, who dated Demi for a short time last year, kept his statements brief in the latest issue of Details magazine, but did say, “I wish her the best.” Back in December, Kevin Jonas appeared on MTV’s “The Seven” and, while he hadn’t spoke with Lovato at the time, he did send her some well-wishes. “I really haven’t had any contact [with her],” he said. “Of course, we wish her well in her recovery.” Since rejoining Twitter earlier this week, Demi has been sending out encouraging words to her fans and even sharing what she’s been doing in her downtime. Her activities have included wearing heels despite her sprained ankle and hanging out with reality starlet Kim Kardashian. “Happy birthday to @RobKardashian!! A true friend who has always had my back and I’ll always have his!! BTW – nice dress,” she wrote before giving a shout-out to his older sister. “@KimKardashian so amazing. Hahahaha love you so much!” Related Photos The Evolution Of: Demi Lovato Related Artists Jonas Brothers Demi Lovato

Foo Fighters Slam ‘Glee’ Creator Ryan Murphy

Posted on March 18, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘F— that guy for thinking everybody should want to do ‘Glee,’ ‘ Dave Grohl says. By Jocelyn Vena Dave Grohl Photo: Gareth Cattermole/ Getty Images The Foo Fighters are the latest rock stars taking aim at “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy. In a new interview, Dave Grohl says that Murphy shouldn’t complain when bands don’t want to include their music on his hit Fox show. The “Glee” creator has butted heads with Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash and had an epic war of words with Kings of Leon . Now the Foos are speaking out. “It’s every band’s right, you shouldn’t have to do f—ing ‘Glee,'” Grohl told The Hollywood Reporter. “And then the guy who created ‘Glee’ is so offended that we’re not, like, begging to be on his f—ing show. … F— that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do ‘Glee.’ … I watched 10 minutes. It’s not my thing.” The band’s frontman isn’t the only Fighter who isn’t into the show. Drummer Taylor Hawkins feels the same as his bandmate. “The ‘Glee’ guy, what a f—ing jerk. Slash was the first one. He wanted to do Guns N’ Roses and Slash is like, ‘I hate f—ing musicals. It’s worse than “Grease.” ‘ Then [Murphy’s] like, ‘Well, of course he’d say that, he’s a washed-up ol’ rock star, that’s what they f—ing do.’ And then Kings of Leon say, ‘No, we don’t want to be on your show.’ And then he’s like, ‘Snotty little assholes.’ And it’s just like, dude, maybe not everyone loves ‘Glee,’ ” Hawkins said. “Me included. … Yeah, f— that sh–.” Related Artists Foo Fighters

Darren Aronofsky Won’t Direct ‘The Wolverine’

Posted on March 17, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Director cites lengthy production schedule as reason for leaving Hugh Jackman-starring film. By Kara Warner Darren Aronofsky Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images The second “Wolverine” film is quickly becoming as unpredictable and complex as its titular character. It was reported Thursday (March 17) that Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky will not be helming the pic after all. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Aronofsky has dropped out due to the film’s lengthy production schedule overseas. “As I talked more about the film with my collaborators at Fox, it became clear that the production of ‘The Wolverine’ would keep me out of the country for almost a year,” Aronofsky said in a joint statement with Fox, the studio releasing the film. “I was not comfortable being away from my family for that length of time. I am sad that I won’t be able to see the project through, as it is a terrific script and I was very much looking forward to working with my friend, Hugh Jackman, again,” he said. Aronofsky or no, Fox said it supports the “Black Swan” director’s decision but still plans to move forward and make the film with Jackman firmly attached to those famous adamantium claws. “While we are of course disappointed that Darren can’t do ‘The Wolverine,’ we also understand and respect his reasons. Having done both ‘The Wrestler’ and ‘Black Swan’ with Darren, we know he is an extraordinary talent and we look forward to working with him on other projects in the future. Hugh Jackman and Fox both remain fully committed to making ‘The Wolverine.’ We will regroup and move forward aggressively.” What do you think of Aronofsky’s decision? Tell us in the comments!

Christina Aguilera Talks Press Scrutiny, ‘The Voice’ Gig

Posted on March 17, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘We’re only able to be seen through the microscope of the media,’ the singer tells UsMagazine.com regarding her recent tabloid coverage. By Jocelyn Vena Christina Aguilera Photo: Ronald Martinez/ Getty Images While the year started off a little shaky for Christina Aguilera, a new gig as one of the judges on NBC’s upcoming TV talent competition “The Voice” may prove to be the career turnaround that the pop singer is looking for. And in a new interview, she admits that it’s not always easy having every move you make scrutinized by the public. “We’re only able to be seen through the microscope of the media and what people gossip about,” she tells UsMagazine.com “You take the good with the bad. It’s by telling our stories, sharing our experiences and really giving a firsthand look at us as human beings [that shows] who we really are apart from what we seem to be.” Aguilera, known for her own vocal pyrotechnics, admits that she doesn’t want potential contestants to come to the show hoping they can win by mimicking her signature style. “I am ready to share it all so I’m really excited,” she said. “I hope we can find the next biggest thing. But I’m not looking for vocal acrobatics. I really sincerely want to be moved by raw talent.” Aguilera will be joined on the “Voice” panel by Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, “F— You” singer Cee Lo Green and country star Blake Shelton. She recently explained during a press event promoting the program that she and her fellow judges hope to bring positive reinforcement and not be too cruel to those trying out for the show, which premieres on April 26. “This isn’t about tearing people down. I want to bring these people up,” Aguilera maintained. “‘The Voice’ really does stand for what it says. Instinctually, you can judge people based on the way they look. I love the fact we get to sit here with our backs turned away from these people and completely use just one sense to hear these voices. I’m not looking for vocal acrobatics, who has biggest range [of] high and low. I’m looking forward to getting moved.” Are you excited to see Christina on “The Voice”? Tell us in the comments.

Megan Fox Reportedly Joining ‘Knocked Up’ Spin-Off

Posted on March 16, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Judd Apatow flick would be Fox’s first studio film since leaving ‘Transformers’ last year. By Eric Ditzian Megan Fox Photo: Jean Baptiste Lacroix/ Getty Images In what would mark her return to studio filmmaking after departing the “Transformers” franchise last May, Megan Fox is reportedly in negotiations to join Judd Apatow’s upcoming Universal comedy . According to The Hollywood Reporter , Fox is eyeing a co-starring role in the project, which is a spin-off of “Knocked Up” and will have Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprising their characters from the hit 2007 comedy. Her potential role, at this point, is being kept a secret. MTV News’ request for comment from Fox’s rep was not immediately returned. The production would be Fox’s first studio flick after parting ways with Paramount and “Transformers” last year. At that point, she’d already wrapped “Jonah Hex,” which went on to bomb at the box office, and “Passion Play,” which never received a theatrical release. Since then, she’s stepped in front of the camera for Jennifer Westfeldt’s indie “Friends With Benefits.” At the Oscars last month, Apatow told us the as-yet-untitled comedy was currently in rehearsals and that the story will take place four or five years after the events of “Knocked Up” (though in the vein of “Get Him to the Greek” after “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” the new comedy won’t be a sequel). “The rest is a secret because it doesn’t come out until 2012 and if you already knew what it was about for a year and a half, you wouldn’t even want to see it,” he laughed. We can, however, expect that, as Apatow put it, “some familiar people” will show up in the new flick. Perhaps by now, “Knocked Up” star Seth Rogen has heard if his services will be needed, because when we asked the actor about it in January, he had no idea. “[Judd] mentioned it to me off-handedly a year ago, and then I just read about it just like everybody else. I was like, ‘Oh man, it looks like it’s really happening,’ ” Rogen explained. “So, I don’t know,” he added. “I’m going to call him today and see what the deal is.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Seann William Scott Enters Treatment Facility

Posted on March 15, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘American Pie’ alum ‘admitted himself for proactive treatment to address health and personal issues.’ By Katie Byrne Seann William Scott Photo: Getty Images Seann William Scott, best known for his breakout role in the “American Pie” franchise, has entered a treatment facility for undisclosed issues. The actor’s reps told People magazine in a statement: “Seann William Scott has voluntarily admitted himself for proactive treatment to address health and personal issues. He appreciates the support of his many fans at this time.” It is unknown where he is being treated or what prompted the decision. Scott was most recently seen in the 2010 Kevin Smith buddy comedy “Cop Out,” starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. He also recently wrapped production on “Goon,” a hockey comedy written by Judd Apatow regulars Jay Baruchel and Evan Goldberg. Scott stars as Doug, a small-town bouncer who, after physically defending his best friend (Baruchel) at a hockey game, is recruited to play the enforcer for a minor-league team. While Scott has worked steadily since his breakout “Pie” role in the late ’90s, movie audiences will always associate him with the lovably inappropriate Steve Stifler. MTV News caught up with the actor last year while he was promoting “Cop Out” to talk about a potential fourth “American Pie” movie . While he was optimistic about the possibility and said the proposed story line “could be great,” he admitted some reluctance about rejoining the “American Pie” franchise. “I did three of them,” he said. “I had so much fun and loved the character, [but] I don’t want to be known as that character forever. Now I’m realizing that I probably will be known as that character forever.” Share your well-wishes for Seann William Scott in the comments.
