In case that first red-band trailer for Your Highness didn’t sell you on Danny McBride’s ability to play a lecherous medieval prince, Universal has released a second red-band trailer for David Gordon Green’s fantasy comedy due in theaters April 8. In the second red-band promo ( third trailer total ), Natalie Portman plants a kiss on Danny McBride and a gaggle of topless nymphs chase James Franco through the woods, but does the studio accidentally uncover a major plot twist that could spoil the movie for viewers?

On Monday, somewhat incredibly, The Hobbit finally started filming . Amid the seemingly weekly reports of turmoil and lawsuits surrounding the two-part Hobbit film over the last few years, it’s easy to forget just how long this movie has been in production — and the minor miracle it is that not only is The Hobbit being filmed, but Peter Jackson is behind the camera. So let’s take a quick look back — a “Dummy’s Guide,” if you will — at the timeline associated with the long, torturous journey that finally got us to where we are today.

Sympathy for Delicious wasn’t exactly the toast of Sundance 2010, but with a cast that includes Orlando Bloom, Laura Linney, Juliette Lewis, Noah Emmerich, John Carroll Lynch, screenwriter Christopher Thornton, and first-time director Mark Ruffalo, it earns a second look in its new trailer. We can quibble about the use of Rolling Stones lyrics to illustrate the movie’s theme of healing, but at least “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” stays out of the fray.
Singer’s ‘GMA’ outburst may hinder his ability to gain new fans, experts say. By Jocelyn Vena Chris Brown Photo: Jason Kempin/ WireImage As details begin to bubble to the surface about Chris Brown’s “Good Morning America” outburst, fans and the media are wondering if he ruined his chances at the musical comeback he’d planned to have with the release of F.A.M.E. on Tuesday . “Of all the places not to have a public meltdown!” Popeater.com correspondent Rob Shuter told MTV News about the chair-throwing fit he reportedly threw after “GMA” host Robin Roberts brought up his 2009 assault of Rihanna . “It shows you his level of arrogance and stupidity. He has proved he has temper tantrums and is a violent person, which is exactly what we were talking when he hit Rihanna. What he did yesterday confirmed what an out of control fellow he is.” Ian Drew, senior music editor at Us Weekly, thinks that this will certainly have an effect on his album sales. “I definitely think this is a huge step back for him,” he said. “It was a huge mistake. You control how you react. He didn’t react the right way. He showed in one breath that he still has a huge temper and he can’t control himself. He just ruined everything he had built up again. He chose to act up that way and now he’ll bear the repercussions.” So what’s next? “I think the fans that stuck with him through Rihanna will stick with him through this,” Shuter said. “What isn’t going to happen is he’s not going to be able to grow his fanbase. … I think you say sorry and put out good work. You can come back. He has to apologize now. He has to be an angel, I think. Now, for the rest of his life, he has to be careful. He is young, but he’s had every advantage, and I think that’s what makes people angry: To have all these advantages and still mess it up is very hard to forgive.” “Good Morning America” has asked the star to appear on the show again, but Drew believes that instead, Brown should take a rest from his promotional plans. As of press time, Brown hadn’t accepted the show’s offer to appear again. “There’s always a way back, anyone can. My advice to him would be: Just don’t do any interviews and put out a strong record and let it speak for itself,” Drew said. “Let the music do the talking. Let that be the statement.” Related Videos Chris Brown’s Epic Album Release Day Related Photos The Ups And Downs Of Chris Brown’s F.A.M.E. Album Release Week Related Artists Chris Brown
From horse movies to tabloid marriages to AIDS activism, the late actress left her mark. By Gil Kaufman Elizabeth Taylor in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” Photo: Hulton/ Getty Images Hollywood screen legend Elizabeth Taylor made her mark on the screen in the 1950s as one of the last of the great silver-screen superstars of the studio era. From “Cleopatra” to “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” the English-born actress captivated with her onscreen intensity and beauty, even as her chaotic off-screen love life became a staple of tabloid coverage. With Taylor’s passing on Wednesday (March 23) at the age of 79, the world has lost not only a great movie siren, but also a towering pop-culture figure whose influence ran well beyond her acting to philanthropy, fashion and American mores. Since her early days as an actress, Taylor had a striking look that became a model for women in the 1960s. Her pale, pearl-colored lipstick and heavily lined eyes became a style template for aspiring starlets and housewives alike, and the signature white chiffon cocktail dress she wore in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” opposite Paul Newman became a best-seller for designer Helen Rose. It was just one of many looks Taylor modeled in her most famous films that provided inspiration for designers over the years.
