Kim Kardashian Gets Her Own Madame Tussauds Wax Figure

‘I’d say she’s pretty hot,’ the reality star joked at the unveiling of her statue. By Jocelyn Vena Kim Kardashian poses with her wax figure at Madame Tussauds Photo: Gilbert Carrasquillo/ Getty Images NEW YORK — It wouldn’t be the first time Kim Kardashian and Miley Cyrus were in a room together, but it certainly marks the first time their wax figures will be. On Thursday (July 1) at Madame Tussauds in Times Square, the reality star unveiled the latest wax figure by the famed museum. And this one was of herself. For someone who is photographed as often as Kardashian, she is still reeling at the thought of standing next to an exact replica of herself. “When I first heard I was going to be immortalized, I was so honored,” she told MTV News at the unveiling event. “I mean, it’s a pretty cool thing. I called my sisters right away, and it looks so much like me, it’s scary. It’s probably one of the biggest honors, so [my sisters] were so excited for me.” So, how does Kardashian think the statue turned out? “It is weird! It’s like she’s prettier than I am. It’s so weird, like, my arms and the hands … everything about it is so exact that it’s weird to see yourself,” she laughed. “So now I can really see from an outsider’s point of view. It’s weird.” It really had us wondering what she would think of herself if she saw herself walking down the street. “I’d say she’s pretty hot!” she joked. “I’m just kidding. She has better hair than I do.” To add to the uncanny similarities between herself and her wax figure, Kardashian wore the same exact hot pink Herve Leger bandage dress the statue is wearing. “Well I wanted something that would represent my style, something tight and sexy and fun and flirty,” she explained, adding that there’s even a star or two she — or rather her statue — would like to be standing near. “There’s so many amazing, iconic people. Jennifer Lopez would be fun. Michael Jackson would be amazing.” How do you think Kim Kardashian’s statue compares to her? Tell us in the comments! Related Photos Kim Kardashian Gets Waxed

Kenny Wormald Lands Lead In ‘Footloose’ Remake

Hollywood newcomer and MTV ‘Dancelife’ alum snatches plum role after Zac Efron and Chace Crawford back out. By Mawuse Ziegbe Kenny Wormald Photo: IMDb A rising star with true dancing feet will step into the role of Ren McCormack in the upcoming remake of the ’80s hit “Footloose.” Dancer Kenny Wormald, who has appeared in videos for stars like Madonna and Prince and has hit the stage with Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez, will bring his footwork to the big screen. Entertainment Weekly reports that the Boston native (who proudly touts his “Southie” accent in his MTV “Dancelife” bio ) beat out thousands for the chance to take on the role that launched Kevin Bacon’s career in the ’80s. However, this isn’t Wormald’s first Hollywood gig: The dancer has also appeared in “You Got Served” and “Clerks 2.” Joining Wormald in the flick will be actor Dennis Quaid as Reverend Moore and Julianne Hough from “Dancing With the Stars” as Ariel. “Hustle & Flow” writer Craig Brewer penned the updated screenplay and will also direct. The choreography will be helmed by Jamal Sims, who worked on Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet Tour. Hollywood heartthrob Zac Efron, who has hoofed his way to stardom in musicals like “Hairspray” and “High School Musical,” was originally slated for the role as Ren McCormack but later backed out . Reports said the star wanted to take on more serious roles. Chace Crawford also dropped out of the remake because filming would have conflicted with his “Gossip Girl” production schedule. Filmmakers already have high hopes for Wormald. “When we discovered Kevin Bacon in 1984, we were both excited and gratified — and also knew the chances of ever duplicating that effort was a million-to-one shot,” producer Craig Zadan, who worked on the original and is back for the remake, said in a statement . “Decades later, Kenny Wormald proved history could repeat itself.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Anna Kendrick, Scarlett Johansson Lead Best-Dressed List At MTV Movie Awards

Vanessa Hudgens, ‘The City’ star Whitney Port and more stand out on the red carpet. By Amy Wilkinson Anna Kendrick Photo: Getty Images The MTV Movie Awards may not hand out Golden Popcorn statues for best dressed, but that doesn’t mean Hollywood’s most fashionable femme fatales shouldn’t be honored. Here are our top picks for the night’s most stunning stars to grace the Gibson Amphitheatre red carpet. White was one of the evening’s hottest trends. From Paris Hilton to “Jersey Shore” star Vinny Guadagnino, many opted for ivory, but no one did it better than Vanessa Hudgens, who flaunted a gauzy Jenny Packham minidress with silver jewels below the bust. The “Beastly” star let her frock take center stage, accessorizing sparsely with metallic peep-toe pumps and a simple silver necklace. “Up in the Air” actress and Breakout Star winner Anna Kendrick went the opposite route — a completely colorful low-cut black, red and pink floral Zac Posen dress finished with sky-high banded black pumps and her locks in beachy waves. While Anna was all feminine flirt, “Iron Man 2” star Scarlett Johansson chose sleek sophistication in a forest green belted Dolce & Gabbana lace shift dress and black pumps. She also showed off one of her newest accessories: her newly dyed blond locks. Another blond looking absolutely fabulous was “The City” star Whitney Port, who simply glowed in a sunny form-fitting yellow-and-gray strapless dress and silver mesh peep-toe pumps. And while most stars went short and sweet, “The Hills” hottie Lo Bosworth shined in a sophisticated floor-length coral Diane von Furstenberg Grecian gown. She completed her look with shoulder-grazing dangling earrings, silver bangles and a softly curled half-updo.

Les Grossman Works Overtime At MTV Movie Awards With Robert Pattinson, Jennifer Lopez

Show’s “producer” shakes his booty with J-Lo, horrifies Michael Cera and much more! By Kara Warner Les Grossman and Jennifer Lopez perform at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ FilmMagic Resident “mega mogul” Les Grossman has been working overtime the last few weeks. First, he helped MTV promote the Movie Awards with three terrific and twisted promo spots . Then, Grossman, who was revealed to be “the producer of this year’s MTV Movie Awards ,” helped kick off the awards show with a special intro video . And third, he brought the house down with a showstopping musical number with two VIP guests. If anyone deserves a special Movie Awards shout-out, it’s Grossman. The intro vid kicked off with Grossman’s trademark booty-shaking, after which he announced to viewers his professional mantra: “Movies are a marriage of picture and sound. My job is to get them drunk and to f—, and the illegitimate baby they make is called entertainment.” Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are then revealed to be standing in the room, looking annoyed to be back listening to Grossman’s drawn-out speeches. The “Twilight” stars ask why they’re there, to which Grossman answers: “Two words.” And his assistant finishes: “Bad Ass Cops.” Cut to a spoof action movie trailer, in which Pattinson, toting a blazing gun and sporting a ridiculous blond handlebar moustache, says to the camera, “Somebody ask for a light?” To which Lautner, with a similar ‘stache, aviators and a faux leather jacket, adds, “It’s time to whip up some trouble!” and cracks a whip. Other highlights include Grossman’s purchase of “Matching Michael Cera bookends,” with the camera panning over to a dejected-looking Cera holding a stack of books. “I want to go home,” Cera pleads. And in a particularly profound teaching moment with Jaden Smith and his father, Will Smith, Grossman and his assistant get in a few “Fresh Prince” and “Parents Just Don’t Understand” jabs, but young Smith gets the last word when the two engage in a brief karate fight. Jaden “finishes it” and breaks Grossman’s arm. Finally, he ends the bit by equating the awards show to a piece of coal he’d shoved up his rear end and miraculously turned into a diamond … “Enjoy my two-hour sh–,” Smith says. Grossman’s best moment came when he graced the actual Gibson theater stage at the Movie Awards. The mastermind took to center stage, mike in hand, and called out for his buddy, rapper Ludacris, to sing his familiar song “Get Back.” Grossman then joined a group of female dancers for a little impromptu dancing, heavy on the booty-shaking and suggestive moves. Roughly a minute into the song, the tune switched to J.Lo’s “Get Right,” at which point Jennifer Lopez herself waltzed onto the stage to dance with Grossman. The twosome showed off some practiced choreography, complete with an impressive use of canes, and for the big finish, Grossman dropped down into a half split maneuver and popped back up.
