When Rhys Ifans crosses paths with Peter Parker & Co. as the villain The Lizard in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot, his performance will partially be obscured by CG accoutrements. But one element of the baddie should be a little more recognizable, even after, as Ifans suggests, audio effects will be employed to make him sound even more otherworldly. Not that he needed much help terrifying intrepid MTV reporter Josh Horowitz, as he did when he unleashed a voice akin to Gollum on steroids. Watch and listen for yourself after the jump.
Karina Smirnoff and Brad Penny have decided to wait on wedding planning. Rest assured, though, the DWTS pro and MLB pitcher are still together. Nearly a year after their engagement, “the wedding has been postponed ,” a source close to couple says. “They are still together, but have conflicting schedules.” With the Tigers out of the playoffs, what does Brad Penny have to do for the next four-plus months besides eat a few more salads and do sit-ups? Just asking. The couple, both 33, went public with their romance back in 2009, after she and fellow Dancing With the Stars stalwart Maksim Chmerkovskiy called it quits. “I believe a wedding is a celebration of a future together,” Karina Smirnoff mused. “It doesn’t matter how it’s going to be. Whatever we decide it’ll be great.” For the moment however, the couple simply “wants to spend more time with one another,” the source explains. “Especially while planning their wedding.” Here’s hoping Penny doesn’t strike out and lose this keeper.

Actor promises a ‘bizarre’ Caesar Flickerman, just like in the books. By Eric Ditzian Stanley Tucci Photo: MTV News “Wait till you see Stanley Tucci do Caesar Flickerman,” teased “Hunger Games” director Gary Ross back in August as MTV News was getting set to debut first-look footage from the upcoming adaptation of the best-selling young-adult series. We had to wait then — the teaser only showcased Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen — and we continue to wait to finally peep Tucci as Flickerman, the flamboyantly attired interviewer who chats with each tribute before the start of the gladiatorial competition known as the Hunger Games. But whenever fans do get to check out Flickerman, they can be sure the character will stay true to the guy readers are familiar with from Suzanne Collins’ novels. How do we know? Tucci told us himself. “Absolutely it [stays true]. Blue hair. Very bizarre,” the actor said while promoting his upcoming drama about the mortgage crisis “Margin Call.” Earlier this year, Tucci was in England shooting “Jack the Giant Killer” when he began to map out his Flickerman look. “We had wigs made there,” he said. “I had some noses made, which we ended up not using and teeth and a whole bunch of different things. When I got to North Carolina [to shoot ‘Hunger Games’], we played around for about seven hours and we started shooting the next day. I was only there for about a week, but it was fantastic.” One of the scenes he shot was the pre-Games interviews with Lawrence’s Katniss and Josh Hutcherson’s Peeta Mellark, who confesses his love for Katniss during the chat. Both Lawrence and Hutcherson, Tucci said, pulled off the pivotal scene with an aplomb that defied their years. “She was amazing,” he said. “They were all amazing. She’s just so good and so mature at such a young age. It was really fun. Really fun. And Gary, he’s great.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Hunger Games.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .
