In the midst of her divorce from Tony Parker, it seems that Eva Longoria has enough to deal with right now -- without bringing a baby into her life. Despite reports over the weekend that the Desperate Housewives star had plans to adopt a child, a source close to the actress says the talk is simply not true.
Friends say Longoria, 35, is "devastated" by the end of her marriage and has been looking to the people closest to her to get through this tough time.
"She is simply heartbroken," a friend told People.com. "She really wishes Tony the best. She just wants this whole situation to be as peaceful as it can be under the circumstances. He's a good person at heart, and she wants the best for him."
Longoria filed for divorce from Parker, 28, on Nov. 17, reportedly after discovering hundreds of sexy text messages between her husband and a former teammate's wife.

It's tough for any divorced family to sort out the kids' holiday plans -- but we imagine it's extra-challenging for divorced celebrity couples like Jon and Kate Gosselin and Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards. Not only do they have to worry about the usual things -- dividing the kids' time fairly, buying enough pumpkin pie -- but a holiday fight could easily turn into a tabloid nightmare for the whole family. Thankfully, these two former couples managed to pull off a drama-free holiday by calling a Thanksgiving truce.
The Gosselins decided to avoid a fight by splitting the holiday down the middle. Kate told E! Online that she would be taking "the first half" and that Jon would have "the second half." According to RadarOnline, the children actually spent all of Thanksgiving day with Kate, while Jon and girlfriend Ellen Ross took them the following day.
As for Charlie Sheen, the actor was reportedly prepared to spend Thanksgiving all alone. It hasn't exactly been a cheery time for the Two and a Half Men actor: He's in the middle of divorcing wife Brooke Mueller and he's being sued by porn actress Capri Anderson for a night at New York City's Plaza Hotel gone extremely wrong. Turns out, however, that Richards is a more generous ex-wife than Sheen probably deserves. Despite the ongoing repercussions from Sheen's Big Apple meltdown, the actress invited him to spend the day with her and daughters Sam, 6, and Lola, 5.
"Charlie spent the afternoon eating turkey with Denise and their two daughters," a friend of the family told Popeater. "It was a wonderful time for them all to be together and Denise's idea that they all sit down together as one happy family as if that awful night had never happened."
We're not sure we'd have done the same in Denise Richards' shoes -- but we think she just taught her daughters a valuable lesson on the true meaning of the holidays. (Even if they don't understand it for a few years yet.)

Twisted Sister frontman joins cast of hit Broadway show: 'Imagine an actual Tyrannosaurus on the set of "Jurassic Park." '
By Kyle Anderson
During his mid-1980s peak, Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider was perhaps the definitive hair-metal superstar. He had the pipes (a killer wail), the clothes (a combination of speed-metal denim and glam-rock gender-bending), the hair (a wild blonde mane) and the songs (the signature smashes "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock"). Unlike many of his contemporaries, he's not attempting to relive his past glories, even though they're still playing out in front of him six days a week.
Snider joined the cast of the hit Broadway show "Rock of Ages" about a month ago, and his limited run as bar owner Dennis Dupree has been both thrilling and bizarre.
"The entire situation is completely surreal," Snider explained to MTV News while sitting in his dressing room before a performance. "Imagine an actual Tyrannosaurus on the set of 'Jurassic Park.' They've got an actual '80s guy in a show about the '80s. I know the people who sing those songs were a little uncomfortable the first few nights."
The cast quickly got over the jitters of having a legend among them, and everybody quickly settled in. It was the culmination of a long journey for Snider, who has been coveting a slot onstage for a while.
"I would love to tell you that somebody knocked on the door and said, 'We want you!' " Snider admitted. "But the truth is: I was invited to the premiere of the off-Broadway production, where I saw my two songs in the show, and I turned to my wife and said, 'I want to do that. I could play Dennis Dupree.' So I let it be known, and it took two years to get asked out on that date."
As the perpetually stoned tavern owner Dupree, Snider delivers eight killer performances a week. Though two of his signature hits are included in the show, Snider doesn't sing during either "We're Not Gonna Take It" or "I Wanna Rock."
"Those songs are the two big moments of any Twisted Sister show, so it's weird that I'm not singing them," Snider explained. "I'm worried that when I go to perform those songs live in a concert setting, I'm just going to stand there and wait for my castmembers to sing them."
Though he's had plenty of experience onstage, the Broadway universe is new to Snider. He got some advice from contemporary and fellow Broadway star Sebastian Bach (of '80s shredders Skid Row), but there was one thing he had to learn on the fly: "The biggest difference between a concert situation and a theater situation is that you can't curse out the audience," Snider revealed. "I'm used to addressing situations. If something is going on in the house that I don't like at a concert, or if the audience is not energized or enthusiastic — or if they're particularly energized and enthusiastic — I will stop a song just to comment on what's going on. I quickly realized that was unacceptable on Broadway. I just have to stay in character and stay in the show."
Snider is open to doing more shows once his run in "Rock of Ages" is up, though he said the schedule would probably keep him to limited runs. Plus, he's not sure any other show would nail the poignancy "Rock of Ages" has for him.
"While it's a comedy, it's frighteningly accurate," Snider said of the show. "Especially when it comes to frontmen, and how the rest of the band regards them as complete a--holes. And I sit there and feel shame. I was a pompous ass. But I feel better now."

While Xtina squeezed into 'push-up bras, high heels and fishnet stockings,' Gigandet wore ...a cookie box?
By Brianne Riviello, with reporting by Kara Warner
Fresh off Christina Aguilera's saucy song-and-dance number at the American Music Awards on Sunday, many are sweating out the release of her new film, "Burlesque," which hits theaters Wednesday.
"Burlesque" follows a small-town girl (Aguilera) who journeys to the city looking for her big break but instead finds herself in the sensual world of burlesque. Aguilera makes her feature debut alongside the legendary Cher and a beautiful and talented supporting cast that includes Cam Gigandet, Stanley Tucci, Julianne Hough and Eric Dane.
We recently caught up with the stars of the film, who giggled as they recalled their unique wardrobe racks for the suggestive-yet-sweet musical.
Gigandet joked that, unlike the women in the film who were clad in elaborate bustiers and stockings, his wardrobe included "cookie boxes and pajamas." (In one very memorable scene, Gigandet parades around with nothing but a Famous Amos box covering his nether regions.) Aguilera lamented that he got off easy: "You didn't have to do any push-up bras, any high heels, any fishnet stockings."
Aguilera did reveal a few makeup secrets, however, and reported that Gigandet donned eyeliner for his part as Jack, the love interest to Aguilera's Ali. Gigandet took it all in stride. "It was fun to be something different," he said. "Yes, it was. I gotta say, it made my job easier to kind of, you know, step into a different character, into a different world."
On a side note, Gigandet also commented on how the legion of fans from his stint in the "Twilight" series has followed him, as compared to other roles — particularly as martial-arts champion Ryan McCarthy in 2008's "Never Back Down."
"It varies, where I am," he said, regarding whether he's still bombarded by Twilighters wherever he goes. "I mean, you know, when I was in New Orleans and Louisiana a few months ago, it was 'Never Back Down' that caught everyone's attention. I know, I love it. But there's 'Twilight' fans all over the world."
Aguilera noted that, once "Burlesque" hits theaters, it will be Gigandet's character Jack who will get all the buzz from fans. "Of course," Gigandet laughed. "Then I'll be 'Famous Amos cookies' for the rest of my life."
Check out everything we've got on "Burlesque."

'I've got one big bullet and I'll put it right between your eyes,' he tells MTV News of throwback action flick.
By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz
Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson started off the year rocking a pink tutu in "Tooth Fairy." He's ending the year, though, in pretty much the exact opposite fashion, kicking ass like we've never seen the former pro wrestler kick ass before.
In "Faster," Johnson stars as an unnamed ex-con on an utterly brutal mission to avenge his brother's decade-old murder. The movie is like a flashy throwback to ultraviolent 1970s films like the Clint Eastwood-starring "Dirty Harry" and Sam Peckinpah's "Straw Dogs." Those flicks, it turns out, were the inspirations for "Faster," which opens Wednesday.
"The movies of the '70s, a lot of Peckinpah movies, Eastwood movies from the '70s, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson — movies like that where they just have that tone and that texture," Johnson told MTV News. "There weren't big explosions for the sake of explosions, so all the action was fueled by an emotion. Not big bazookas or anything like that. I've got one big bullet and I'll put it right between your eyes. It's that type of action."
That's a far cry from January's "Tooth Fairy," in which Johnson played a vicious hockey player magically transformed into a tooth-snatching, cash-bestowing pixie. It's a role that had him squeezing into tights and donning the aforementioned tutu. So, um, which Johnson character — fantastical fulfiller of dreams or cruel destroyer of lives — falls closest to the guy he really is?
The 38-year-old actor says each role has something in common with the other — a trait he also proudly shares. "There is nothing I wouldn't do to protect someone I love," he said.
Check out everything we've got on "Faster."

The holidays have arrived, and it's time for eating, relaxing and sharing family traditions. And if you're part of the Gyllenhaal family, that means apologizing to your guests when your dad completely freaks them out!
"We have a family tradition of stabbing the turkey before we eat it," Jake Gyllenhaal tells iVillage exclusively. "(My dad) always takes the knife and stabs it and makes a screaming noise...It's really weird and embarrassing when people who haven't been to our Thanksgiving dinner see that."
For Burlesque actress Julianne Hough, the holidays are less about relaxing and more about slaving away in the kitchen. "Last year I made the entire Thanksgiving dinner and it was really good," she explains. "So now I'm totally screwed from here on out because I have to cook every year!"
Watch our exclusive video to hear funny holiday memories from Christina Aguilera, Denzel Washington, Anne Hathaway and more!

Nearing the end of another "X Factor" season, Cheryl Cole stepped out to tend to judging duties at Wembley studios in London, England on Saturday (November 27).
Looking stylishly casual, the Girls Aloud beauty donned a grey sweatshirt, olive cargo trousers and a lumberjack cap with orange heels as she strolled inside for her TV efforts.
With previous reports telling of Cheryl's anxiousness to wrap up the current "X Factor" season, a friend told London press that Miss Cole is planning a long holiday with plenty of time in the States alongside rumored beau Derek Hough.
A friend of the brunette vixen said, "Cheryl loves the States and can't wait to get back there after the year she's had. She currently gearing up for her post-Christmas hols like you wouldn't believe. She's really looking forward to a bit of sun and the chance to let her hair down."
The insider added, "While there, she's also going to be househunting and having meetings about her solo career."She's spent the past six months focusing on her acts in the X Factor. Now it's time to channel her energy into her own career."

With so much accomplished in 2010, Justin Bieber has certainly set the bar high for 2011. But the teen singer is already gearing up for next year. Bieber will not only release his much-anticipated 3-D flick, "Never Say Never", but he has also teased that he'd like to release an album of all-new material sometime later next year.
His mentor, Usher, thinks that at this point, the sky's the limit.
"As far as music and entertainment, that's the beginning," Usher told MTV News at Sunday's AMAs, where Bieber performed and took home four awards.
"There's so much more in store for the future, or at least there's a ton of things we can do and will, and with the support of his fans who will continue to just grow and grow and grow."
At 16, Bieber has accomplished what few manage with many more years in the music business, but Usher said he wants to ensure that Bieber doesn't stop enjoying it all as his popularity continues to grow and his schedule gets busier.
Asked what he admires most about Justin, Usher said, "His excitement and innocence in it. And I don't mean that in a light way because I think that he's absolutely enjoying every moment of it, as any young man his age would, but in a different way because [of] the hard work that has gone in and led to the dream that has become a reality. And every time you have an opportunity do something incredible, I tell him to do his best and be conscious that what you're doing today should last forever and eternity."

Colin Firth in "The King's Speech"
Photo: The Weinstein Company
For the second year in a row, Colin Firth finds himself at the center of awards-season chatter. And after losing out on a best actor Oscar for "A Single Man," the 50-year-old actor has again established himself as one of the frontrunners in that category, thanks to his turn as the stammer-afflicted King George VI on the verge of Britain's entry into World War II in "The King's Speech."
It seems Firth is an actor at the top of his game, but to hear him tell it, it's as much a matter of good fortune as it is great talent.
"It's just dumb luck," he told MTV News at the Toronto film festival in September. "That's all: Just getting a crack at it. Sometimes you just take roles to stay in the game or pay bills and hope the good ones are going to come along.
"I was never in a world of perfect choice, and now I feel like I've had a couple of real plums landing in my hand," he added.
It was at fall film festivals in Toronto and Telluride, Colorado, as critics first began to catch screenings of "King's Speech," that it became clear we'd still be talking about Firth's performance come awards season. He's been faithfully making the publicity rounds ever since, and as he told us when we chatted earlier this month in New York, he's not bored with the experience.
"Funnily enough, I find it easier than many things," he said. "There are so many angles you can approach it from, to do with the way people are reacting to it to the surprises we've had along the way to nuances about the actual history itself. I think this has a lot of mileage in it.
"It's been very gratifying for audiences to have howls of laughter and be open to crying," he continued. "To see that happening in the same film is a triumphant feeling. When you're in Telluride, you can put it down to altitude — one glass of wine amounts to 10. So we had to test it at sea level as well to see if people enjoyed it, and they did."

Documentary premieres Sunday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

If there's one thing Nicki Minaj does not do in her MTV documentary "My Time Now," it's hold back.
The Pink Friday MC has skyrocketed to the upper echelons of the hip-hop game with a flow that swings from beastly to baby-voiced and a boldly wacky-yet-vampy persona. In the doc, the pink-wigged spitter reveals that her growing success is not just the result of her stacks of scene-stealing features, but also her insistence on being regarded as a musical force to be reckoned with.
"I put quality in what I do. I spend time and I spend energy and I spend effort and I spend everything I have, every fiber of my being, to give people quality," Minaj says in a teaser clip from the forthcoming film, hanging out in a semi-casual outfit, sporting a pale-blue T-shirt and towering Pepto-Bismol-hued wig. "So if I turn up to a photo shoot and you got a $50 clothes budget and some sliced pickles on a mother----in' board, you know what? No. I am gonna leave.
"Is that wrong? For wanting more for myself, wanting people to treat me with respect?" she continues. "But you know what? Next time, they know better. But had I accepted the pickle juice, I would be drinking pickle juice right now."
Minaj also analyzes the double standards she says plague the entertainment industry, explaining that a confident behind-the-scenes manner will often land women unfavorable and dismissive labels.
"When I am assertive, I'm a bitch. When a man is assertive, he's a boss. He bossed up. No negative connotation behind 'bossed up.' But lots of negative connotation behind being a bitch. Donald Trump can say, 'You're fired.' Let Martha Stewart run her company the same way and be the same way. [People will say] 'F---ing old evil bitch!' But Donald Trump, he gets to hang out with young bitches and have 50 different wives and just be cool. 'Oh, Donald, we love you, Donald Trump!' " Minaj quips theatrically.
The "Roman's Revenge" spitter further maintains that, to make it as a superstar, aspiring female artists are expected to juggle a superhuman amount of multitasking.
"When you're a girl, you have to be everything. You have to be dope at what you do but you have to be super sweet and you have to be sexy and you have to be this, you have to be that, and you have to be nice," she says. "It's like, 'I can't be all those things at once. I'm a human being.' "
The soliloquy is another moment in which the MC candidly provides insight, not only into her experience as a lyricist careening toward fame, but her personal views and perspectives as well. In addition to trailing the lyricist as she lays down her debut album, cameras follow the hitmaker on an emotional visit to her native Trinidad and catch Minaj as she opens up about her late grandmother.
"They're gonna meet Onika," she recently told MTV Newsabout the doc. "Everybody sees Nicki Minaj; they're gonna meet Onika. They're gonna hear my story, and it's such an inspirational story, which I never really wanted to tell. 'Cause everyone always feels like you don't want people to know too much. But when I saw what [MTV and production company @radical.media] did, I thought, 'People need to see this.' It reminds you that everyone always feels like this is it, but there's always a light at the end of the tunnel, and I feel like that's what the doc says at the end."
Don't miss the documentary "Nicki Minaj: My Time Now," premiering Sunday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV!

The sheer volume of mainstream albums dropping this week makes our head spin like that ancient artifact, the vinyl record. Monday saw the release of Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday, Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Ke$ha's Cannibal, Jay-Z's The Hits Collection Vol. 1, Lloyd Banks' Hunger for More 2 and My Chemical Romance's Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. And Friday is the big day for Justin Bieber's My Worlds Acoustic.
Many may wonder why the bigwigs of the music industry would put out such a gargantuan selection all at once. But there's a precedent for this kind of strategy. In fact, music lovers have been through this very same overload dilemma a handful of times over the last decade. Here's a look back at some of them:
September 11, 2001 became a national tragedy, though it was supposed to be a huge day for the music business. Mariah Carey's "Glitter" soundtrack, Jay-Z's Blueprint, Bob Dylan's Love and Theft, Ben Folds' Rockin' the Suburbs, Nickelback's Silver Side Up and P.O.D.'s Satellite were among the many albums that were released at the beginning of the week.
November 18, 2003 marked the start to one of the year's biggest music release weeks. The range of albums seemed to hit every demographic imaginable. Releases included Britney Spears' In the Zone, Blink-182's self-titled fifth studio album, Timbaland & Magoo's Under Construction, Part II, Christmas albums from Whitey Houston and Ashanti, compilations from Michael Jackson, Moby and Joe Satriani, and live albums/DVDs from Dave Matthews Band and Linkin Park.
Following the pattern of Thanksgiving week album releases, November 22, 2004 began another big week. Two "American Idol" winners, Fantasia and Ruben Studdard went head-to-head with Free Yourself and I Need an Angel, respectively. The shelves were also packed with U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, Gwen Stefani's solo debut Love. Angel. Music. Baby., as well as other releases from Creed, Anthrax, Evanescence, Nirvana and Jessica Simpson.
September 12, 2006 was the drop date of Justin Timberlake's second solo album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, which produced five smash hit singles. That week John Mayer's Continuum and Bob Seger's Face the Promise were released, and both eventually went platinum. Other albums and compilations came from the Mars Volta, Papa Roach, Lionel Richie, Veruca Salt, Everclear, and the Barenaked Ladies.
On September 11, 2007 after threatening to retire from music if his album Curtis was outsold, 50 Cent came in second to Kanye West's Graduation. And though he wasn't included in the 50 Cent Challenge, Kenny Chesney's Just Who I Am: Pirates and Poets was released the same day and sold very well. The date also marked the release of Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam, which didn't exactly pose a threat.
One of the wildest weeks of 2009's album drop calendar was easily that of November 16. Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster, Justin Bieber's My World, Leona Lewis' Echo, OneRepublic's Waking Up, Kris Allen's self-titled debut, Norah Jones' The Fall, and compilations from both Janet Jackson and Fall Out Boy were some of the new additions to the music scene.

Open the floodgates! It's Mega-Release Week, with Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, Ke$ha, My Chemical Romance and Lloyd Banks all dropping new albums. Stick with MTV News for everything you need to know about the brand-new music.

Beloved boy bands New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys have teamed up to form a nostalgic heartthrob super group called NKOTBSB. But after their debut performance at the American Music Awards earlier this week, fans of another pop group are getting a little jealous.
So, when can we expect an *NSYNC comeback?
"Justin's very busy with his acting career right now, so I think it's going to be quite a while before we even think about doing anything," Bass said. This year alone, Timberlake has starred in two films, including the critically acclaimed The Social Network, which earned him early Oscar buzz.
Okay, so Timberlake may be a little too cool for a boy-band reunion. But that doesn't mean Bass and his fellow *NSYNC-ers (JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone) couldn't go it alone! "I love being on the stage," Bass told E! "So yeah, anytime the guys would want to do an album, I'm in!"
While fans eagerly wait to see if another *NSYNC tour or album ever happens (or a new Timberlake solo album, for that matter), Rolling Stone had their own ideas on how the group could still have their own comeback, despite the circumstances. BSB is going on with their tour, even with founding member Kevin Richardson opting out. But, could a non-Timberlake *NSYNC tour work?
RS theorizes that the guys could be successful on their own. In fact, they may even be able to change Timberlake's mind. "Maybe when he sees how easily his former group starts raking in money he'll be down for a handful of shows," the magazine said.
While the band would surely take a hit from the absence of their most swoon-worthy member, we're guessing there are still a few die-hard fans who would pay big bucks to hear "Bye Bye Bye" one more time.
Do you think *NSYNC should do a reunion tour? Chime in below!

She?s no stranger to magazine covers, and Mila Kunis is looking hot on the front of the December 2010/January 2011 issue of Nylon.
The ?Forgetting Sarah Marshall? babe shows her modeling range in the sexy spread, giving guys plenty to be thankful for this holiday season.
In a recent interview, Mila confessed that though she looked super hot making out with Natalie Portman in ?Black Swan,? it was a bit of a stretch for her.
"Anytime you do any intimate scene on film, it's going to be a little uncomfortable, whether it's the same sex or the opposite sex. The truth of the matter is that we were friends before we started the film, so that made it a lot easier."
Mila added, ?We didn't really discuss it very much. We just kind of did it. It made sense for the character. It wasn't put in for shock value. It wasn't something that we needed to justify in our heads, as to why we were doing it. That was it."

Giving thanks for the gift of music, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Kanye West were among the acts performing at the Hammerstein Ballroom last night (November 25).
The Thanksgiving shindig was nothing short of amazing, with the ?Love Lockdown? rapper celebrating the recent release of his new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
Rihanna was also in the house, singing a hit-laden set that included some choice cuts from her new album Loud.
And of course, Nicki Minaj sported some sexy duds as she took the stage to share her new songs from Pink Friday.
