No decision has been made yet, but sources report that Mel Gibson is likely to be charged with domestic violence in an alleged attack on Oksana Grigorieva. At the same time, Oksana, who Mel alleges tried to bilk him out of millions by lording his taped rants over his head, is likely to be off the hook for extortion. The question complicating an already confusing, drawn-out mess of a case is whether L.A. County District Attorney Steve Cooley should even be involved. Is the D.A. biased by a connection to Oksana’s lawyer? The D.A.’s office will soon decide the fate of Oksana and Mel, but critics are pointing to fundraisers he attended on his own behalf as questionable. Why? The lawyer who negotiated Oksana’s $15 million settlement – which she left on the table, and is at the core of the extortion investigation – is Eric George. George, a prominent Beverly Hills civil lawyer, hosted both campaign fundraisers last year, while the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department was investigating. George contributed more than $8,000 to Cooley in 2010 …

Don’t worry, though, there’s a new movie franchise on the way to take the place of these iconic adventures: The Hunger Games , the first book in a trilogy about young men and women who fight to the death in front of a worldwide audience, will hit the big screen next year. Casting is underway for this sci-fi, futuristic thriller, with fans chiming in on their ideal choice for the story’s heroine, Katniss Everdeen. The leading contender, according to E! News and other sources? Jennifer Lawrence . The studio is reportedly “very interested” in the recent Oscar nominee. Other actresses under consideration include Dakota Fanning and Chloe Moretz. What do you think, Hunger Games fans? Would Lawrence make a believable Katniss, provided she dyed her blonde hair dark, of course?

‘I am in the crucible right now,’ Tony-winning director told TED2011 conference. By Terri Schwartz “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” Photo: Don Emmert/ AFP To say “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” has had its share of problems is to say “Avatar” was fairly successful or “The Twilight Saga” is moderately popular. It seems that anything that could possibly have gone wrong with the show has. There have been delays , injuries , bad reviews , script issues and actors leaving , and all before the show has officially opened. Fortunately, the preview shows are selling out across the board, but the musical is struggling and director Julie Taymor knows it. The Tony-winning director hasn’t made a public statement about the problems in production since aerialist and stunt double Christopher Tierney was severely injured back in December. But during the TED2011 conference in Long Beach, California, on Wednesday, Taymor discussed the current state of the musical with an audience of more than 1,000 people. “I am in the crucible right now. It is my trial by fire. It’s my company’s trial by fire. We have survived because our theme song is ‘Rise Above,’ ” Taymor said, according to The New York Times . “Anyone who creates knows — when it’s not quite there. Where it hasn’t quite become the phoenix or the burnt char. And I am right there,” she added. At the moment, the show runners are deciding whether to continue with the planned March 15 opening or delay the musical for a sixth time. Lead actress T.V. Carpio talked to MTV News about the constant changes going on behind the scenes of the show and how she refuses to give in to the negative thoughts pressing on “Turn Off the Dark” from the outside. Both she and Taymor seem to feel that the musical is on the precipice of greatness, and they have the faith to continue on until it reaches that goal. “It’s right there in the palm of my hands,” Taymor said. “In all of my company’s hands. I have beautiful collaborators. We as collaborators only get there all together. I know you understand that. You stay there going forward and you see this extraordinary thing right in front of your eyes.” For breaking news and previews of the latest comic book movies — updated around the clock — visit SplashPage.MTV.com .
‘Twilight’ star says ‘the media will lose interest’ in his rumored relationship with Stewart when the series ends. By Jocelyn Vena Robert Pattinson on the April 2011 cover of Vanity Fair Photo: Annie Leibovitz / Conde Nast Sure, he graces the cover of Vanity Fair with an alligator, but it’s what Robert Pattinson says inside the magazine that will have his fans drooling. The “Water for Elephants” star, who normally doesn’t say much about Kristen Stewart, opens up about his “Twilight” co-star and rumored girlfriend in the new issue, which hits newsstands March 3. “Kristen is very focused on being an actress,” Pattinson said. “I mean, that’s what she is — she’s an actress. Whereas I — I just don’t really know.” Pattinson also admits that he has admired Stewart for a long time. “She’s cool. Even before I knew her, I thought she was a really good actress. Like, I saw ‘Into the Wild,’ and I thought she was really good in that. I still think there are very few girls in her class that are as good as she is.” He added that all the speculation about their relationship has been “traumatic.” “When this is over,” Pattinson adds of the “Twilight” series, “the media will lose interest [in the relationship]. There’ll be nothing to say. It won’t fit into a headline anymore. It won’t fit into a template.” Pattinson also had some kind words for currently embattled TV star Charlie Sheen, saying he admired the actor’s “little escapades,” adding, “I like crazy people who don’t give a f—. … I’ve just kind of stopped doing everything. I never change the channel in my trailer. I just watch reruns of ‘House of Payne’ and ‘Two and a Half Men.’ I love ‘Cops’ — I think it’s my favorite TV show. … God, I sound like such a loser.” Aside from all the talk about his Hollywood peers, the star also waxed sentimental about his time as Edward Cullen in “Twilight.” “I can’t really understand it even now,” he said of the mania. “It does have an angle which is attached to something quite primal in girls. I guess people want it to define them, like, ‘I’m a “Twilight” fan.’ … I think people really just like being part of a crowd. There’s something just tremendously exciting about hyping yourself up to that level.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Twilight fans who flock to see Drive Angry 3D this weekend in support of Billy Burke are in for a bit of a surprise, as the actor — who plays the calm, mustachioed father to Kristen Stewart’s Bella in Summit’s Twilight Saga films — swaggers his way through the South as a sexually-charged Satanic cult leader. To put it plainly, Burke’s Jim Jones-meets-Jim Morrison villain gives co-star Nicolas Cage a run for his money in the anti-subtlety department, and Burke clearly relished every second of the departure from Charlie Swan.
