Twilight and Photoshop, Forever: A Brief History of Weird Posters

The marketing blitz accompanying this week’s Breaking Dawn release has prompted a bit of nostalgia about The Twilight Saga around Movieline HQ — particularly its eminently intriguing movie posters. Gone is the quaint patina of the original 2008 film, with sultry, semi-known Robert Pattinson locking his poo-colored gaze and clay-like visage on virginal, vaguely known Kristen Stewart, both doctored with minimalist Photoshop fervor. But gone, too (for now, anyway), are the hilariously earnest, carefully manipulated one-sheets from New Moon and Eclipse — the hand-mangling, the cock-blocking, the stank-eyed cast of thousands. In fact, the new posters look like photographs of actual people ! Very attractive and heavily airbrushed people in romance-novel clutches, but people nonetheless. Join Movieline’s Dept. of Marketing Forensics in looking back on how we got here.

Shay Mitchell Recalls Getting Caught Clubbing, On ‘When I Was 17’

Episode, also featuring Jeremih and Ashley Fink, airs Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV. By Sterling Wong Shay Mitchell on “When I Was 17” Photo: MTV News It’s almost a quintessential American high school rite of passage: Get a fake ID, and sneak into clubs with your girlfriends for the night of your lives. That was certainly the plan for Shay Mitchell, but it all went horribly wrong, as the “Pretty Little Liars” star shares on this week’s “When I Was 17.” “I would say I was a pretty good girl, but there happened to be this one night when a group of my friends decided to go out to this club. Of course, we weren’t of age, so we snuck out, and I think each of us told our parents that we were staying at the other person’s house,” Shay recalls. With their alibis settled, Shay and her girlfriends headed downtown and successfully entered a club with their fake IDs. “We were dancing and having the best time ever. All of a sudden, I’m dancing with some really cute guy, and I feel a tap on my shoulder,” Shay continues. “I turned around, and this person says, ‘Can I have this dance?’ ” And who was this mystery man asking her for a dance? Turns out, it was her father. “I was in complete shock. Never in a million years would I have thought he would’ve come and find us,” she says. Her friend, Jody, explains how Mr. Mitchell managed to sleuth out their location: “[He] found out because my mum had called their house because she thought we were there. No one answered, and I guess all the parents put the pieces of the puzzle together.” Shay describes the hilariously pathetic way she and her friends made their exit. “We walked out the club like sad little ducklings with our heads down,” she remembers. Of course, there were serious consequences for Shay after that night. She was grounded for two weeks, and also had her car keys taken away. But she learned her lesson for sure. “I definitely didn’t ever do that again,” she says. “When I Was 17” — this week featuring Jeremih, Shay Mitchell and Ashley Fink — airs Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV.

VIDEO: Watch the Jersey Shore Cast Get Chased By Tigers in a Roman Colliseum

If we could switch out real events for the hilariously animated translation produced by Taiwanese news service NMA, life would be so much more entertaining. Ricky Gervais would have been Tool Time’d by Tim Allen after the Golden Globes, Jeff Zucker would breathe fire , Charlie Sheen would have coked up hotel meltdowns — oh, wait — and the Jersey Shore cast would be greeted violently in Italy by riotous locals, a pickle cannon, and a gladiator showdown in which Snooki is forced to out-pace a tiger for survival. Taiwanese justice awaits you after the jump.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Trade Allegations of Infidelity; Private Investigator Hired

If you thought Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt’s separation, be it real or contrived, couldn’t get any weirder, you clearly misunderestimated Speidi. They’re now each accusing each other of having affairs, and that’s not all – Heidi has gone so far as to hire a private investigator to spy on Spencer . As we reported last week, Heidi is allegedly staying at the home of the hilariously named Cougar Zank, a Marine turned bodyguard and pal of Pratt. Earlier this year, Zank moved into the home Spencer and Heidi were renting at his request, with Pratt claiming that the two were writing a script. But when Heidi Montag split with Spencer in May, Zank invited her to stay with him at a home he rents in Malibu, which totally set Spencer off. AT WAR : Is Speidi’s split actually legit? [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com] He considered Cougar Zank his friend, and is sure the only reason Cougar would have sided with Heidi in the split is that “he wants her for himself.” A source also says that Heidi just returned from New York City and that none other than Cougar Zank accompanied the plastic princess on the trip. “They are definitely friends. I don’t know if there is anything more to it than that, but Spencer believes there is,” the source said. “He’s certain.” It’s reciprocal, too. One of Heidi’s major concerns, close sources reveal, is that Spencer has been seeing another woman since their split in May. “She is anxious to find out if her suspicions and the rumors are true. It is really important to Heidi to find out if Spencer has been cheating on her.” Well, sure. As for Heidi’s aforementioned NYC trip, it was to find a producer for her new reality series with Jen Bunney, also her current roommate. She met with executives at ITV, the company behind I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here , which featured Speidi last summer, according to reports. The source also says Heidi, who filed a petition for legal separation from Spencer last weekend, plans on following that up with a divorce petition. “It will be filed,” the source says, noting that “She felt she had to get the separation petition done in a rush last week to stop the money flow.” Under California law, community property ends on the date of separation, meaning anything she earns from that day forward is Heidi’s alone. “Heidi is very concerned about the finances,” the source says. “Everybody knows she’s made more money than Spencer. She needs to protect it.” Could this split actually be real? Whose side are you on?

How to Make Fun of Twenty-somethings

Have you heard about this kid, James O’Keefe? Grandiosely playing journalist and getting arrested in the classic Watergate fashion—why, his hilariously mis-channeled post-college angst is enough to make you write a How-To list mocking his whole godforsaken age demographic! In the several months since my 30th birthday, I’ve gained quite a bit of wisdom that twentysomethings could really benefit from, if only they’d listen for once. ‘Twentysomethings’ is a broad group; choose specific examples that emphasize the most odious aspects of various subcultures, then subtly broaden out to the indict the wider demographic: James O’Keefe, a nerdy conservative kid of the sort who could cast himself as a cool contrarian only within the unworldly confines of a liberal arts campus, comes out into the wider world and immediately engages in a staggeringly stupid crime, only to be defended by old right wing dead-enders like Breitbart and Ben Stein
