She might get mad at us for bringing this up, but Megan Fox is totally pregnant. News of the gorgeous actress and husband Brian Austin Green expecting their first child came out in April, but Fox has thus far been loathe to confirm the impending child. But a camera does not lie. And People Magazine has very clearly caught a glimpse of Fox and her baby bump , as this couple has been vacationing in Hawaii for the past few days. Green – who looks about ready to kill the paparazzi who dared to snap the picture above – has a 10-year son, Kassius, from a previous relationship. He’s on record as saying Fox is an “amazing stepmom.” Now, whether they want to admit it or not, the beauty will have a chance to be an amazing mother in the near future.
Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis Spotted On Dinner Date Too bad Demi isn’t gettin’ her groove back like we thought , because her ex boy-toy hubby seems to be doing just fine in the post-divorce cakes department. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are keeping fans guessing about whether they are just friends or something more after being spotted around town together numerous times in the past few months. The pair, who both starred on Fox hit “That ’70s Show,” were seen zooming around Hollywood on Kutcher’s motorcycle earlier this week. And, according to the Daily Mail, Kunis’ car is sometimes spotted outside the actor’s home. Kunis, 28, has directly addressed the rumors since they began to surface this past April. “It’s absurd,” she told Extra of reports that the two were dating. “A friend is a friend.” But People magazine reports that the pair’s insistence that they’re not a couple is merely an attempt to “be discreet.” “They seem to spend every free second together,” a source points out to the magazine. Another source tells Us Weekly, “They’re not exclusive, but they are hanging out and seeing where it’s going.” In addition to motorcycle rides, the pair have also been spotted out shopping for furniture, having one-on-one dinners, and even heading on a three-day road trip together. “They’ve been hot for each other for years,” another source tells Us Weekly. “It stretches back to when they were friends on their show!” Check the gallery for more pics of Mila and Aston ducking the paparazzi on their night out.

Lil Scrappy already told you, via Hip-Hop Wired, that he gives no f-cks what you think of his, his baby mama’s or Momma Dee’s exploits on VH1′s Love & Hip Hop : Atlanta since they’re all getting paid. While we chatted with the “Head Bussa” rapper, we had to ask him whether or not his castmate Joseline Hernandez, the scripper turned struggle rapper, is really all woman. Hey, the people want to know… Continue
Cole Abaius over at Film School Rejects performs a post-mortem on Adam Sandler ‘s increasingly inane recent output of comedies, as parodied brilliantly in Judd Apatow’s Funny People (then subsequently embraced with stinkers like Jack and Jill — life imitating art imitating life?). “The most prominent George Simmons film in Funny People is a gem called Re-Do where an overworked lawyer is transmuted by magic into the body of an infant,” Abaius observes. “By playing Simmons, Sandler was directly commenting on the hollow nature of a lot of his own work.” The George Simmons Conundrum has been the single most infuriating/perplexing factor in Sandler-watching in the past few years. Clearly he was self-aware enough to recognize and mock his own image and career dependence on stupid high-concept comedies, rather perfectly addressed in the underrated Funny People . So why continued the streak of Razzie-worthy crapfests? For the mainstream money? To meet perceived audience expectations? Because it’s easy*? * We have a winner. [ Film School Rejects ]
Among the many familiar faces in Disney-Pixar’s Brave – or familiar voices , rather – is actor Kevin McKidd , who joins fellow Scots Kelly MacDonald, Billy Connolly, Craig Ferguson, and Robbie Coltrane in bringing the tale of a 10th century princess to life in colorful detail. Earlier this week, Movieline spoke with the transplanted McKidd about his beloved home country, his Brave brogue, and the breakthrough moments in a career spanning his early turn in Trainspotting to his current gig on Grey’s Anatomy . Tapped for Brave , McKidd (who also lends his voice to the popular Call of Duty: Modern Warfare video games) contributed not one, but two voices to the animated adventure: He voices the honor-bound Lord MacGuffin, one of three battle-happy noblemen in King Fergus’s domain, and the lord’s awkward son Young MacGuffin, a bashful would-be suitor prodded to vie for the hand of the headstrong Princess Merida (MacDonald). For the role of Young MacGuffin, the Elgin, Scotland native offered his own solution to a stumped Pixar’s filmmaking crew searching to find the right unintelligible accent for the character. McKidd shared that and more with Movieline, discussing the post- Trainspotting “lean years,” the TV roles on Journeyman , Grey’s Anatomy , and HBO’s Rome that established him Stateside, his brush with Disney’s John Carter , and how the one-time engineering student forged his own path, a la Brave , to embark on his acting career: “There’s no point living unless you’re actually following the path you feel you should be on, you know?” I’ve never been to Scotland. You have obviously been, a few times. How could you not go to Scotland? It’s beautiful. You should go! Go now! Go today! Okay, I’ll just go right after this! But tell me, from your perspective having grown up there, how well do you feel Brave captures the feel and the spirit and the culture of the place you’re from? I think it really captures it – it’s almost like they took the best parts of Scotland and stuck them in a film and put them in Photoshop, kind of improved on Scotland. I didn’t think anyone could improve on Scotland but I think Pixar did. What are the best parts of Scotland? The glens, and the beautiful lochs… the amazing islands. I love the islands on the west coast of Scotland, they’re stunning places to visit. You take ferries from different ports to different places – the beautiful, white, sandy, clear beaches with no pollution. It’s a stunning place, but also the people are hilarious. I really miss the people. They’re your own people – or, for me, they’re my own people. And I do miss that. There also must be such a sense of the mythic history, so rich in this place. Growing up in Scotland, surrounded by these beautiful landscapes – did you feel that sense? Yeah! There were castles near where I was from, and I’d cycle my bike out there and we’d have picnics. There’s Duffus Castle, near Elgin, so there’s definitely that kind of epic historical nature to the landscape that’s there, that’s never far away. It’s just part of your life as you grow up. And we’d have standing stones just stood around in fields, with cows walking around them, that are ancient – truly ancient! How did you come to Brave ? It’s great that so much of the voice cast is actually Scottish. They just called me – they said, “We want you to be in this film!’ I said, “Who are you?” [Laughs] “Pixar!” “Pixar? I’ll do it!” And then they said it was about Scotland and I was like, brilliant! So it was a double-whammy for me, because just to be asked to be involved with Pixar is a big badge of honor. Then for the film to be about a place that I really love, was brilliant. So I didn’t even think about it for a second. At this point it’s interesting to hear the projects that different folks recognize you from – you’ve done notable television and film work, but many people also recognize your voice from your video game work. Oh yeah, from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare ! It’s huge, that game. It’s absolutely massive. And I didn’t realize how big video games are until I did them. Did the Brave call come before or after your gaming voice work? It was during, actually. I’ve been doing the Brave movie for four years, and I did Modern Warfare 2 and 3 over the course of two years. So it was all around the same time. Which of your works do you think inspired the Pixar folks to call you up for Brave ? I don’t know! They just said, “We think you’re a really good actor and we’ve been a fan of your stuff.” I think a lot of people at Pixar were very into Rome , on HBO. It was a great show. So I think that was the thing that made them go, “We’re interested…” I know that Andrew Stanton was very interested in me for John Carter , which I couldn’t do because of Grey’s Anatomy , so I think my name was around there. Which role was it, in John Carter ? I can’t remember! Did you go as far as to actually converse with Stanton about the film? We got close to meeting, and then the studio just said, “No, we can’t release him from Grey’s , so don’t even bother.” It was a shame. It’s been interesting to follow your career all these years – the first time I saw you was in Trainspotting . Yes. That was a long time ago… At what point do you feel like you really broke through? I think there were a couple of points, really. I think it was Rome that was the thing, because I had quite a lot of lean years after Trainspotting . I did a lot of cool work but very low budget and very indie stuff. I think it was Rome that was that game changer for me. That was also just about the time that cable television was emerging as this fantastic medium for storytelling, and look at it now. Yes – this force! I’m still so proud to have been a part of that show, and I miss that show. I’m so happy to be on Grey’s , but there was something about Rome – it was this real boy’s own show, it was about all these male relationships and these strong female characters, and it was really just an amazing show to shoot. Grey’s Anatomy in itself is quite a touchstone – isn’t landing that show a sign that you’ve made it? It’s kind of cool – I’m still pinching myself that I’m on that show. I was also fond of Journeyman … I loved that show, and I miss that show. I saw Kevin Falls, the creator, yesterday – he was playing golf with his son and I was behind him. We were reminiscing, it was great! We’re still good friends. That was a brilliantly written show, Journeyman – it just didn’t get the traction it needed. It’s hard these days in the business world, in the TV world. A TV show has to be a massive hit straight away, so it was unfortunate that it didn’t last. We sat through the writer’s strike and then we thought, “Shit, we’re going to have to just leave, and go back to the U.K.” – and then Shonda Rhimes called me. She said, “We want you for this show.” You and your family were ready to go back? Yeah, we were going to go, and Shonda said, “I want you to play this guy, Owen Hunt.” I knew Grey’s was a hit, but I didn’t know much about it. But it’s been a blast ever since, and I feel very, very fortunate, to be honest. Because I’m just this guy from a village in the highlands of Scotland, you know? Well, going back to your roots – you play not one, but two characters in Brave . The resemblance is stunning, by the way. [Laughs] Oh, thank you! I like the hairdos. You play Lord MacGuffin and his son, two very different characters in the periphery of Merida’s kingdom. It’s interesting to see how the vocal performances come through, because some of the dialogue is so minimal. But the younger MacGuffin has a very particular accent… He does! It’s kind of a great joke, to give him an accent so thick nobody can understand him – even other Scottish characters in the film. It works pretty well. They wanted the young MacGuffin to be completely not understandable, and they were asking my advice on how they should do it. I said, “The one thing I can suggest is, there’s a dialect from the home area that I’m from which is called the Doric, and it’s a very thick, almost Norwegian dialect that most people, even in Scotland, can’t understand.” Can you understand it? I can understand it because I grew up with it, my grandfather spoke it. But a lot of people familiar with that area can’t understand it. So I did some for them and showed them a few YouTube clips and they were like, “Oh my god, that’s amazing! That isn’t made up?” I said, “No, it’s real!” So I feel pretty stoked that I managed to get this crazy dialect from my home area into a massive Disney film. I love that – not to mention the fact that the character is so cute. He’s very cute. Well, he’s this shy boy, very big-boned – he’s shy like I was. I kind of channeled myself as a ten-year-old boy, because I was a painfully shy child. When did that change for you? Probably about age 14, because then I started acting and that was the thing that drew me out of myself. The themes that resonate strongly in Brave , aside from the fact that this is the rare female heroine who doesn’t need a love interest and gets to fight her own battles, involve the relationship between parent and child, and the idea of teenagers forging their own path in life. Do you feel that you relate to that sentiment yourself? I relate – I shouldn’t have been an actor. I should have been like a plumber, or something practical. I went to university to study engineering. What changed? I just knew that I wasn’t going to be happy. I could feel it in my gut, I could just feel it. So I made a change. I didn’t tell anybody, but I applied to drama school in addition, and got in, and then told my family that I was going in another direction. People were really cool about it, surprisingly! I think that can be a challenge – I was expecting them to be really not happy. But I think you have to do that sometimes, you have to just follow your gut. There’s no point living unless you’re actually following the path you feel you should be on, you know? Brave is in theaters today. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
‘I broke my clavicle, like, two months ago,’ Weezy tells MTV News at Atlanta’s Birthday Bash. By Rob Markman, with reporting by FLX Lil Wayne Photo: Lil Wayne takes his skateboarding seriously, so the Young Money cash king doesn’t really mind the bumps and bruises that come along with the sport. Actually, Weezy describes it as “fun.” MTV News caught up with Wayne on Saturday after he got offstage at Birthday Bash in Atlanta. Tunechi joined Kelly Rowland to perform their hit collaboration “Motivation,” but instead of simply walking out to the crowd of 20,000 like the rest of the night’s acts, Wayne rolled out onstage riding his board. Backstage, a shirtless Tune was riding around the Philips Arena, and those lucky enough to get close to him may have noticed a bright yellow bandage on his left shoulder. “I broke my clavicle, like, two months ago. What happened was, I didn’t go to the doctor when I broke it, so it healed on its own,” Weezy explained. “Whenever you let a break heal on its own, it don’t heal right, so I got a lot of bone callouses around it. “So this tape keeps my bone from popping out of my skin,” Wayne said, pointing to his shoulder with a childlike grin. “It’s fun.” This isn’t the first time the multiplatinum rap god has injured himself while skating. Last August, Weezy had to get nine stitches after he took a spill in a St. Louis skate park. “The Lou was good, but I busted my fuggin head at the sk8park! 9stitches! Gnarly gash over my left eye! Luv the people,” he tweeted after the fall. Related Artists Lil Wayne
I’m Gaia, I’m 15 and I live in Milan, Italy. Before the 2nd June I saw Justin in concert just once. Now I had the chance to meet Justin that day by winning some contest. You would win to see him at a Believe party & meet and greet, or at his performance at the Arena of Verona. Francesca (one of my friends) won one contest and so she was allowed to enter the Believe Party, sam with Ilaria and her cousin, but me not. I didn’t win anything. That was the worst moment of my life, knowing that after all that I did for him, the big day arrived and I could not see him. It was like the world collapsed on me. I was encouraged by Francesca, Alessandra and my other friends who were there with me in that moment. I was SURE that, on 2nd June, I wouldn’t meet Justin. The morning of that day we went in front of the Alcatraz (the place where Justin performed). We lined up with all the others who had won, and Francesca still told me, “You will enter Gaia, I’m sure, you will meet him, we will meet him today, trust me.” I cried again, I couldn’t believe that Justin was in my city and I couldn’t meet him. We tried every way to get the pass but nothing. Few hours after, a belieber came to me and told me that she had an extra pass to enter in the party and she wanted to give me it. In that moment I was the happiest girl on the world. I thanked her so much and then after one hour we immediately went to Linate, the airport. We stayed there like for 3 hours. Then when the plane landed we meet the whole crew. Kenny, Alfredo, Ryan, Dan, Scrappy, everyone except Justin. All the girls who were with us started to scream, we took photos with them, it was fantastic. We couldn’t believe to have in front of us all the crew, all the people who are so close to Justin. At the airport I went to Scrappy and I told him, “Can you give this letter to Justin? This is the only chance that I have, please!” He accepted and hugged me. When I saw him at the hotel I asked him if he threw away the letter or what, and he took it from his pocket! When we was in front of the hotel waiting to see Justin, Marisol entered. She was the interviewer who interviewed him in London and here in Italy that day. We went to her to ask why she was there and she explained us that she had to interview him. After a few minutes, she returned in the garden where we were and she said, “Gaia, Alessandra, Ilaria come here!” We went over there and she told us that she needed 3 girls to interview Justin on the stage of Alcatraz, at the Believe Party. We were so surprised about her request and we accepted. Then she return to us and told us that she needed another 3 girls, so we choose Francesca, Arianna and Camilla. The hour of the party came very quickly, so we followed Marisol and she took us in the first line and then behind the scenes. We were so exited, the man who managed the event told us to not scream, cry or things like that but we couldn’t. Finally, after too much time we didn’t see him. He wasn’t pixel, or on a photo, that moment wasn’t a video, but that was reality. After his performances the man called us, but there was a change of program and only 3 girls could come on the stage to interview him. He was beautiful, I was enchanted, his eyes were still shimmering, he was still smiling, I really couldn’t realize that he was in front me, the boy who I never stop to love since the first moment was there, with me, that was unbelievable. When we entered on the stage, he first hugged us. That was really the moment of my whole life. The hug that I was searching for, the hug that I was waiting from a life, the special moment that I dreamed every night. That moment had become reality. He was so sweet with us, he hugged also Alessandra, Ilaria, Francesca, Camilla and Arianna. After so many fights, after so many tears, smiles, after too many times, finally my dream was happening. After the questions that we asked Justin, we went behind the scenes to make a photo with him, but only 3 of us. Camilla, Ilaria and I went in a room and took it. He was so smiling, trust to me, there aren’t enough characters to describe my emotions in that moment. I was one of the few people who organized events in Italy to be noticed by Justin. We gave our souls for him, we did our best, and that was our moment. Thank you Justin to be my strength, to be my point of reference. Trust to me if I tell you to still believe, trust to me. I’ll NEVER give up, I’ll support Justin until the end, cause he’s all my life. I miss him so much. When he hugged me, I had my world in my arms, really the best moment ever. I hope to meet him very soon, I can’t resist, that distance is very hard. Thank you Justin, for every single moment, you made my life. NEVER SAY NEVER. The rest is here: I’m Gaia, I’m 15 and I live in Milan, Italy. Before…
Rapper talks to MTV News about working on Believe ahead of ‘Bieber Live’ at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV! By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Rob Markman Big Sean Photo: When Justin Bieber enlisted Big Sean for his Believe track “As Long As You Love Me,” the 24-year-old MC didn’t clean up his NSFW act. Instead, Sean found a new way to express his more mature lyrics to the Bieber crowd. “Bieber’s a true G. People may not know that,” Big Sean said recently. “Nah, but he is a good dude, man. And I ain’t toning down nothing — I’m diverse, I can write raps to any type of song.” Sean also revealed to MTV News that on the same day he was recruited to work with the pop star, the rapper got a call from another artist — one who exists on the polar opposite end of the musical spectrum — also wanting to work with him. “It’s crazy! I got a call from Gucci Mane the same day I got a call from Bieber and his people to do two different projects,” Big Sean recalled. “It’s tight that I can be a person that’s so diverse that I can do both of those and it’s not reaching. I’m still me … and I didn’t compromise anything for Bieber. You know, I just didn’t curse, which is easy. I don’t have to curse every day.” Of course, the Bieber/Sean collaboration is definitely more in Justin territory thanks to a pulsing dance beat, courtesy of producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins. The pair go back and forth about that special girl over some fist-pumping beats. But Sean is hardly the only rapper who’s giving Believe the co-sign: Drake, Ludacris and Nicki Minaj all make cameos on the release, out on Tuesday (June 19). When we spoke to Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, he told us the singer worked hard to make sure the cameos fit perfectly. “[Justin] and I are both very competitive, and he’d always look at me and go, ‘This is the make-it-or-break-it album, and you got to push me. You got to tell me if I’m not good enough, and I might argue’ … so I really, really pushed him, and we took this album really seriously,” Braun said. (Bieber will talk all about the making of the album tonight on “Bieber Live,” set to air at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV!) “But I also had to give it room to grow,” he added. “Sometimes I’d put him in writing sessions for two weeks, and we’d get one song out of it, and it was just because he had to find that place for himself and that music. And as the process went on, he really started hitting his stride. … And I think everyone has a different favorite, but the one common thread is you don’t dislike any songs.” Don’t miss “Bieber Live” tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV!

Larry Birkhead appeared on Good Morning America today to answer a couple of burning questions: How has he explained the death of Anna Nicole Smith to the former couple’s five-year old daughter, Dannielynn? Is he truly the most despicable parent on the planet? Based on yet another instance of Birkhead milking Smith’s death for attention and money, it would be hard to answer inquiry number-two in anything but the affirmative (despite the best efforts of Taylor Armstrong ), as Birkhead told viewers how he responded when Dannielynn asks about her mother. “I said, ‘You know, they, doctors couldn’t fix her. But if you’re good … you’ll get to see her someday.’” Smith, a very troubled actress/model, was found dead in a Florida hotel room on February 8, 2007. Birkhead has spent every few months since parading his cute daughter in front of reporters and giving the world updates on a child we all just wish could live a regular life, out of the spotlight. But Larry insists on making Dannielynn a public figure… and then acting shocked when she’s in the news. Such as when he dragged her last month to the Kentucky Derby. “You know, it’s weird when your child is five years old and trending,” the moron told Robin Roberts this morning. “There’s all these big stars that came and the next thing you know Dannielynn’s picture is all over the place.” Overall, Birkhead says “it’s hard to move on.” Why? “Because you have this little 47-pound reminder of her mother walking around. And you have all these images that are still so much very alive that you have to deal with every day. “I want to keep Anna’s image alive in a positive way. She could light up a room. And now her daughter’s taken her place and she’s lighting up every room that she goes into, trust me. I feel it every day.”
Drake’s homie Meek Mill says he didn’t throw any bottles during the W.i.P. club brawl that got the venue shut down and injured Chris Brown last week. Meek says Chris didn’t throw any either, and denies there is any lingering beef with the R&B singer or his camp. Mill told XXL (dot) com the following: “Chris and Drake, them two was there, but it’s other people that be around that take sh!t to the next level … Things just happen in the club.” “I seen girls in there throwing bottles, all types of sh!t. All types of people. I never seen Chris Brown or Drake throw a bottle and I was there.” Asked if he threw a bottle at Brown, Meek replied, “F*%k no.” Mill, who was hanging at Drake’s table during the June 13 incident, was rumored to be an instigator in the fight (and to have banged Rihanna ). Meek claims, at least, that he spoke with Chris Brown on the phone after the brawl and both sides agreed they had no problem with the other.
