We break down the first sneak peek of Tom Cruise's fourth 'Mission.'
By Eric Ditzian and Josh Wigler
Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol"

The first "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" trailer begins in classic fashion for this epic spy franchise: with a ridiculously destructive explosion. It's been almost six years, after all, since the previous installment hit theaters, and so this new footage, which popped up online Tuesday evening, delivers the fiery goods early and often.
Hit play on the embedded video as we walk through some of the key moments in the trailer, then read on for a deeper exploration of what's going on in the "Ghost Protocol" footage.
The J.J. Abrams Conspiracy
Early on, as Tom Wilkinson explains the unachievable mission Tom Cruise and his team will confront, we see Wilkinson flip through a series of digital profiles of the IMF agents. Josh Holloway's character, it seems, is "disavowed."
Now if you're a fan of the franchise, you'll remember that in the third film, Keri Russell (a veteran of producer J.J. Abrams' "Felicity") is killed surprisingly early in the action. Our working theory is that we're in for a similar treat for Holloway, who starred in Abrams' "Lost." We don't see a lot of him in the rest of the trailer, and when you do see him, he's usually alone. All signs point to Holloway getting an unfortunate, and quite possibly bloody, exit in "Ghost Protocol."
The Brad Bird Comparison
Midway through the trailer, we get a moment that clearly harkens back to the first "M:I" movie. As Jeremy Renner flies down into a silo-like structure and the camera follows him from above, we can't help but think of the moment in the original film in which Cruise, secured via harness, swooped down into a secure CIA facility.
While J.J. Abrams has told us "Ghost Protocol" will carry the unmistakable signature of director Brad Bird, who is making his live-action debut after animated fare like "The Incredibles," it's hard to see any Birdian touches here. This looks like a "Mission" movie, not a Brad Bird one. And we wonder if, in the finished film, that will still be the case. One of Bird's signature stylistic traits is action (and interactions) infused with humor, and "M:I" is hardly a franchise that goes for laughs.
The Tom Cruise Marathon
It would not be a Tom Cruise movie, let alone a "Mission" movie, without a shot of the action star running like the wind. There's a hilarious YouTube video about this, which is definitely worth watching. But all jokes aside, let's give Cruise some serious credit: We tend to take him for granted, but the guy is almost 50 years old, and here he's running, jumping, diving and nearly dying. That's impressive stuff.
The Jeremy Renner Possibility
Renner, of "Hurt Locker" fame, is a new face in the franchise; last year, he told MTV News he was being groomed to take over the franchise from Cruise. But that's not at all the sense we get from the trailer, especially when Cruise suggests Renner is hiding something. First off, Renner is reportedly the front-runner to take over the "Bourne" franchise from Matt Damon, and it'd be odd to have the guy be the face of two separate spy series. And second, based on some of the dialogue in the trailer, there just might be a twist with Renner's character in "Ghost Protocol." Is he a villain? Is the trailer just trying to throw us for a loop? Can we possibly have a "Mission" movie in the future that doesn't feature Cruise himself?
The IMAX Grandeur
The trailer wraps up with an epic scene in which Tom Cruise scales the Burj Khalifa building in Dubai, the tallest building in the world. This scene is compelling for two reasons. One, it was shot with IMAX cameras, and for all the technical mumbo-jumbo you can get into when talking about this technology, the fact is that watching something shot in IMAX delivers a singularly breathtaking visual scope. "Ghost Protocol" will be worth seeing in an IMAX theater just for this scene. And second, Cruise clearly stole the gloves he wore in "Minority Report" to scale this building, "Spider-Man"-style. Hey, can you blame a guy for trying to sneak a swarm of blockbusters into one film?

Michael Bay's summer blockbuster has critics praising his deft handling of eye-popping 3-D.
By Eric Ditzian

As even Michael Bay has admitted, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" had almost nowhere to go but up after the writers' strike-affected, audience-alienating previous installment.
And insofar as Bay and company had something to prove — and to improve — this time around, they've succeeded. While "Dark of the Moon" isn't currently the highest rated film in the franchise, according to the Rotten Tomatoes review aggregator, the general consensus among critics is that the new 3-D flick is best of the "Transformers" bunch.
That's not to suggest reviews have been universally positive; many have been as brutal to the film as the film's robots have been to certain American cities. Reviewers have taken issue with poor plotting, weak characters and brain-scrambling action set pieces. But then there are a slew of reviewers utterly onboard with what Bay has created, celebrating some of the finest 3-D visuals since "Avatar" and a story that is the most fully fleshed out of the series. For those opinions and others, take a deep dive into the "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" reviews.
The Story
"A sweet prologue (marred only by a phony-looking digital JFK) recounts the war for Cybertron and the real reason behind the U.S.-Soviet space race of the 1960s. Cut to the present where Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf) struggles to find his first post-college job, while the Autobots led by Optimus Prime and the U.S. military's NEST team led by Lt. Col. Lennox (Josh Duhamel) work in tandem to take out the remaining Decepticons around the world. However, the evil 'bots eventually get the upper hand and begin an invasion to conquer the Earth with Chicago as Ground Zero in this final war between the Autobots/humans and Decepticons. There's more going on, but for the sake of spoilers we'll keep it at that. Transformers: Dark of the Moon definitely has more of a plot than either of its predecessors. There are genuine stakes this time." — Jim Vejvoda, IGN
The 3-D
"[For] the first time since 'Avatar,' I am going to recommend that you find the biggest and best 3-D theater you can find and buy yourself a ticket, because 'Transformers: Dark Of the Moon,' especially seen in IMAX 3-D, is an overwhelming sensory experience. The sound mix alone is more exciting than anything in the billion-dollar-bore of 'Pirates 4.' This is gigantic action we've never seen before, and Bay's reaction to shooting and cutting his film for 3-D is to get better at what he does. It raised his game, and as a result, I feel like we just saw a dare thrown down by one of Hollywood's biggest action specialists: 'Top this.' — Drew McWeeny, HitFix
The Comparisons
"Bay's hammering technique works, in a commercial sense. Executive producer Steven Spielberg is the richer for it. But it's telling to compare any good minute in Spielberg's 'War of the Worlds,' for example, with any of the 153 minutes in 'Dark of the Moon.' The former, which isn't even Spielberg at his best, offers the thrill and the uneasy, complicated spectacle of destruction you get from a first-rate entertainer. Bay's endless love of nastiness and chrome and aggression offers less. And that's the only 'less' about it." — Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
The Characters
"All that matters is the long, slow slog to the Chicago-set, theater-rattling finale, which seems to last about four hours. That's not a compliment, by the way. There's so much potential in a Transformer, which can, after all, transform into anything. But Bay misses every opportunity to make something interesting out of his characters; instead, he's content to spend his enormous budget on grinding destruction so generic and visually convoluted, it's often hard to tell who we're supposed to be rooting for." — Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
The Final Word
"More than either of the previous films, this 'Transformers 3' feels like an ultra-violent version of the two-dimensional cartoon it's based on. I think I'm almost alright with that, when it's done this well, in this kind of summer blockbuster. We'd probably all be happier watching another movie like 'Inception,' but as long as those movies still get made, I guess there's nothing wrong in sitting down with a 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon,' once in awhile." — Josh Tyler, Cinema Blend

Jennifer Lopez reportedly still hasn't made her mind up about whether or not she's going to return to American Idol for the 11th season, but sources say that producers are already putting together a backup plan in case she bails.
According to PopEater.com, insiders believe that Lopez, 41, is balking on going back to Idol for a second season, simply to get a pay raise. Though Jen made a cool $12 million for her judging work, her predecessor Simon Cowell was making $35 million per season -- and Lopez may want a bigger chunk of that.
Still, the jury is out on whether Lopez was an asset to Idol's 2011 success or vice versa.
"Idol has resurrected her much-stalled music career," one music exec said, as Lopez's dance hit "On the Floor," burns up the charts. "Likewise, Idol didn't fall apart when Simon left and Jennifer has to get some of the credit for that. But let's also remember the show didn't increase in ratings and that is also thanks to J.Lo."
And Idol bigwigs aren't convinced that it's Lopez who's their show's big draw.
"Right now the star of American Idol is Steven Tyler," a source told PopEater. "Everyone thought after Simon announced he was leaving that [Lopez] would fill the void. How wrong were they? It's all about Steven, who's already signed on for season 11."
Lopez recently told BBC that she was "on the fence" about returning to the singing show, but it looks like the multi-tasking mom may want to make a decision soon. The Idol sources say that producers have already spoken about Shania Twain (who has been a mentor and guest judge on the show) and Shakira possibly filling Lopez's spot.

Two new posthumous songs take aim at Dr. Dre, Nas, Mobb Deep, De La Soul and others.
By Rob Markman

Tupac Shakur's rigorous recording habits ensured that the late rapper would continue to make a musical impact, even in the afterlife. Since his death in 1996, fans have been treated to albums' worth of posthumous 'Pac records, but the two records that leaked onto the Internet late Tuesday night are sure to cause a stir.
A far cry from Shakur's uplifting tunes like "Changes" and " 'Til the End of Time," the two new tracks, "NY 87" and an alternate version of the little-known "Watch Yo Mouth," take aim at East Coast rap artists like the Notorious B.I.G., Diddy, Mobb Deep, Nas, De La Soul and former 'Pac ally Dr. Dre.
Both songs appear to have been recorded circa 1996, when 'Pac was in a feud with Diddy's Bad Boy record label and various other New York artists, including the Notorious B.I.G. It was around this time when Shakur recorded and released his two most famous dis tracks, "Hit 'Em Up" and "Against All Odds" from his The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory album, which he recorded under the alias Makaveli.
While "Watch Yo Mouth" is being touted as a new track, the song popped up online over two years ago. The version that was leaked this week has an alternate beat behind it, but the words remain the same. On it, the fiery Shakur begins with a barrage of Dr. Dre insults: "He ain't made a beat in six years, swear he the sh--/ Won't get no record sales suckin' Nas' di--." Nasty Nas also gets thrown under the bus as 'Pac compares the two rappers' record sales. De La Soul, Wendy Williams, Diddy and the Notorious B.I.G. all get ridiculed. Even in his lyrical tirade, the rapper attempts to downplay the much-hyped East Coast/ West Coast beef of the mid-1990s by chanting, "For my n---as on the east side" throughout the song.
"NY 87," however, is a different story. Featuring raps by Tha Dogg Pound (Daz and Kurupt) and Threat, the bass-heavy dis track starts with a monologue from DJ Quik declaring, "Them n-----s on the East is the enemy." Though the track is being labeled on the Net as a 'Pac track, it is Tha Dogg Pound who are prominently featured. Appearing only on the last verse, 'Pac doesn't name-check any artists, but he does spit, "Move mother----ers 'til they feel me/ It's West Coast n---a, f--- New York, now did everybody hear me?"
As of now it is unknown who released these tracks and why. The timing comes a little more than one week after Dexter Isaacs spoke to AllHipHop.com about his involvement in the 1994 robbery and non-fatal shooting of Shakur and after the hip-hop community celebrated what would've been Tupac's 40th birthday on June 16. Many have speculated that the feud between Tupac and Biggie is what led to the deaths of both rappers. Those rumors have never been confirmed.

'Gagapanda' jokes she's 'been eating a lot of bamboo this week' before revealing plans for 2012 tour, having babies and more.

Lady Gaga appears on the Japanese talk show "Sukkiri"
Photo: Sukkiri
Lady Gaga is currently in the planning stages for her next tour. After wrapping up her epic Monster Ball run earlier this year, Gaga teased her plans on a Japanese talk show on Tuesday (June 28).
"All over the world and I'm already planning," she said of the trek, which she expects to kick off at the top of 2012. "I'm so excited I can't even go to sleep at night."
Gaga appeared wearing a black-and-white dress, with her hair done up in two buns and her eye makeup painted in two panda-like circles. "I really like pandas," she told the hosts of her look, adding, "pandas have paws, and I always tell my fans to put their paws up. I've been eating a lot of bamboo this week," she joked. (Shortly after the appearance, the singer even began referring to herself as Gagapanda on Twitter.)
She then played a little game called "Yes or No," where she was asked questions about her popularity on Twitter, her love of cooking, her clothes and more. She later elaborated on some of the topics. "My dream is to continue to make music and tour and do as much as I can to give as much back to my fans," she said. "Personal dreams? I suppose one day I'll have panda babies."
Gaga owned up to having one major fear, however. "The only thing I really get scared of is missing out on moments with my family 'cause I travel so much, so I call my mom and dad every day," she said. Asked whether she was scared of ghosts, Gaga said, "No, we can be friends." She went on to add, "I love Japanese monster movies. I actually believe in ancestors. I have a lot of family in my past like my Aunt Joann and my grandfather that have passed on and I talk to them."

'It's going to be crazy,' Bieber promises at MTV Movie Awards.

It seems that things are well under way for the basketball movie starring Mark Wahlberg and Justin Bieber. How do we know? Well, the guys themselves updated us this weekend at two of the biggest events of the summer.
Wahlberg told MTV News on Saturday night at Spike's Guys Choice Awards that while he thought he'd be playing Bieber's part initially, he eventually came around to playing the "old guy" role.
"Wait till you see me and Bieber in the flick. Think of like 'The Color of Money,' " he teased. "So I get this call from Paramount [where they tell me about the story about] an old guy and a young guy. I'm like, 'Cool, let's get Jack [Nicholson]. Let's get Robert De Niro. Let's get Robert Duvall.' And they go, 'What about Garrett Hedlund?'
"I'm like, 'For what?' " he further recalled. "They're like, 'For the young guy.' "
(Check out photos of Justin Bieber and tons of other stars backstage at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards!)
The next day, at the MTV Movie Awards, Justin Bieber seemed equally excited about the project, if not a bit tight-lipped. "I know ," he promised. "You'll have to see. I can't really reveal too much about it."
According to previous reports, Wahlberg has been keeping tabs on the young star. "He loves the idea," Wahlberg said last month. "He's been sending me video, he sent me a video of himself, and, yeah, I think he's really talented." The idea was sparked after Wahlberg and partner Stephen Levinson caught Bieber playing basketball in February during a celebrity game held during NBA All-Star Game weekend.

'Bad Teacher,' starring Cameron Diaz, makes a strong showing at #2, with 'Green Lantern' following behind at #3.
By Ryan J. Downey
"Cars 2"

"Cars 2" may be the worst-reviewed movie in Pixar's storied history, but that didn't stop the animated sequel from maintaining the studio's streak of box-office number ones. The second entry in the merchandise-friendly franchise took in $68 million over the weekend, according to distributor Walt Disney Studios, making it Pixar's 12th consecutive movie to debut atop the box-office charts.
Thanks to higher ticket prices and expensive 3-D screenings, "Cars 2" enjoyed the fifth-biggest opening for a Pixar film ever. In terms of attendance, however, the "Cars 2" debut was ahead of only "A Bug's Life," "Ratatouille" and the beloved company's first feature film, 1995's "Toy Story."
The 3-D fatigue evidenced by other recent openings continued as a mere 40 percent of moviegoers chose to see "Cars 2" in that format (versus the 60 percent who opted to see "Toy Story 3" in 3-D).
"Bad Teacher," the weekend's other new wide release, debuted at #2 with $31 million. It was a strong showing for the reportedly low-budget Cameron Diaz vehicle, which industry watchers had predicted would be less well-received. Debuting the adult-oriented comedy against the family-oriented "Cars 2" was apparently a wise choice on the part of Sony Pictures, which released the film.
Warner Bros., meanwhile, watched "Green Lantern" drop 66 percent in its second weekend of release. A sequel was already in development before Ryan Reynolds hit the screen as the DC Comics hero, but there has been little news about those plans since its lukewarm debut. "Lantern" made $18.4 million over the weekend for an $89.3 million total. With an estimated production budget of $200 million and a major marketing campaign behind it, "Green Lantern" has not done well.
"Super 8" bears the distinction of being the only well-reviewed film in the top five. JJ Abrams' nostalgic homage to '80s coming-of-age classics took in $12.1 million for a $95.2 million total. Coming in at #5, Jim Carrey's "Mr. Popper's Penguins" dropped 44 percent with $10.3 million for a $39.4 million two-week total.
"Transformers: Dark of the Moon" seems a safe bet for the top spot next weekend.
Check out everything we've got on "Cars 2," "Bad Teacher" and "Super 8."

Singer will co-produce 'Stick Fly,' a play about an affluent black family in Martha's Vineyard, opening in December.

Since releasing her debut, Songs in A Minor, 10 years ago, Alicia Keys has achieved plenty of landmarks in her life: two armloads of Grammys, a successful movie career and, recently, motherhood.
But the "Fallin' " singer is still pushing into new territory with her latest project, co-producing the Broadway premiere of the play "Stick Fly." The critically acclaimed work by Lydia R. Diamond will open on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre in December, with previews beginning on November 18.
"This is a story that everybody can relate to," said Keys in a statement announcing her participation in the venture. "I'm passionate about this play because it is so beautifully written and portrays Black America in a way that we don't often get to see in entertainment. I know it will touch all audiences, who will find a piece of themselves somewhere inside this house."
"Stick Fly" tells the story of the LeVays, an affluent black family gathering at their Martha's Vineyard home to spend a summer weekend together. According to a description, "the adult sons, aspiring novelist Kent and golden boy plastic surgeon Flip, have each brought their respective ladies (one black and one white) to meet the parents. Food, drink and Trivial Pursuit tangle with class, race and identity politics in this contemporary comedy of manners."
Casting has not yet been announced for the Broadway production, which has garnered a number of awards since its premiere at Chicago's Congo Square Theatre in 2006.
Keys is balancing this latest project with the reissue of A Minor on Tuesday (June 28) and a mini-tour celebrating the album's 10th anniversary. The singer told MTV News that caring for 8-month-old son Egypt has actually made her a better artist.
"I feel like I'm definitely more creative," she said of her life since motherhood. "I'm more thoughtful about my plans and the things that I do, so overall everything is like a hundred times better."

Anne Hathaway and James Franco got mixed reviews when they hosted this year's Academy Awards, which didn't bother Hathaway. What did bother the actress was when Franco later tried to put the blame on her! In a new interview with Harper's Bazaar, Hathaway responds to the Oscar aftermath, and talks about preparing for her purr-fect new role in the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises.
Hathaway, 28, was watching back in April when Franco talked to David Letterman about his poor Oscar reviews. Franco, 33, insisted that he wasn't stoned or sleepy; he just suffered in comparison to Hathaway's bubbly personality.
"I love her, but Anne Hathaway is very energetic," said the 127 Hours actor. "I think the Tasmanian Devil would look stoned standing next to her."
In the interview with Harper's, Hathaway admits that she had a few words with Franco after that colorful exchange. "I let James know that a whirling dervish is a more flattering comparison than a Tasmanian devil," she recalls. "I called him, and we e-mailed a bit."
Still, she insists that she has zero regrets about hosting the Academy Awards, critics be damned. "In the grand scheme of things, I got to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," she raves. "I met great people, wore beautiful clothes. And I got to put on a show. I don't see a downside. Anyone who disliked my personality probably disliked my personality before the Oscars."
Fair enough! But Hathaway hasn't always been so comfortable with being disliked. She confesses that her habit of "people pleasing" became unhealthy in her relationship with Raffaello Follieri, the ex-boyfriend who is now serving jail time for money laundering and fraud.
"There's something very addictive about people pleasing," she admits. "It's a thought pattern and a habit that feels really, really good until it becomes desperate. It's one of the reasons that relationship ended... I think a lot of girls have that story. It's a big moment when you step away from that and say, 'I'm going to be exactly who I am. And I'm going to be brave enough to only be with someone who wants me the way I am.'"
She says her relationship with current boyfriend Adam Schulman is much more comfortable, which "doesn't always make for a good story, but it makes for a good life."
And speaking of the good life, Hathaway is busy getting in tip-top shape for one of the highest-profile roles of her career: playing Selina Kyle and her alter-ego Catwoman in the upcoming Batman film The Dark Knight Rises. Her preparation includes stunt training, intense exercise and 90 minutes of dance -- five days a week.
"I've always thought that skinny was the goal, but with this job I also have to be strong," says Hathaway -- who is clearly a strong woman, in more ways than one.
Anne Hathaway's newest film, the romantic dramedy One Day, opens in limited release July 8.

'Dark of the Moon,' however, was the first 'Transformers' film to have 'a fully sussed-out script,' star tells MTV News.

Give Michael Bay and Shia LaBeouf credit for stepping up and admitting their cinematic gaffes. Both guys have owned up to the fact that 2009's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," despite nabbing more than $830 million at the worldwide box office, did not measure up to their popcorn aspirations.
"The second one, we had a tough go," Bay told us in February about shooting the film in the wake of the writers' strike. "It was a very, very tough thing to make a movie under those circumstances. It affected a lot of Hollywood at that time."
The key issue was the film was rushed into production without all the creative pieces fully in place; filmmakers had a huge budget but not exactly the clearest idea of the story they were trying to tell. In this sense, LaBeouf told MTV News recently in Moscow, the movie became Bay's "Apocalypse Now," the notoriously troubled, Francis Ford Coppola-directed Vietnam War film.
"[On] the second movie where we had our hiccups, there were good things, but there were more bad things," LaBeouf explained, going on to reference the documentary about the "Apocalypse" production. "Before I came out here, I watched 'Hearts of Darkness.' And in it, you have Francis Ford Coppola saying to camera, 'I have too much money, I have no script, and I'm going to shoot myself in the head.' "
LaBeouf went on to make clear he wasn't comparing his summer tentpole to that classic war film, only "the conundrum," as he put it, of undertaking a sprawling project under less-than-organized circumstances. "[It was] very similar in terms of Coppola and Mike on set," he continued. "And the insanity of the second movie."
Production on "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," the third film in the franchise, which hits theaters Wednesday, couldn't have been more different than the second. "This was the first time we've had a fully sussed-out script, with a strong through line and the best plot and arc [LaBeouf's character] Sam has ever had," the actor said. "And it's also simple in the places you want it to be and not complicated. I think the second movie you got convoluted, complicated action where you can't enjoy it. You don't know whose elbow is what, or whose face is getting impaled. You don't know who the enemy is, you don't know who the hero is. You get lost. [Bay] simplified all his action, so that you can thoroughly enjoy it and his simplification of the movie, we benefited greatly from it."
The result, as LaBeouf told us at the MTV Movie Awards, is what he views as the finest installment in the franchise. But that doesn't mean he'll be returning for a fourth go-round. Reiterating a sentiment he conveyed to us at the MTV Movie Awards earlier this month, "Dark of the Moon" will be his final "Transformers" movie.
"I've learned a great deal from Michael, as a person, as an actor. As a person on his sets, you learn a lot," he said. "And it's not that I don't enjoy working with Michael. I love working with Michael. I would do any movie Michael wants to do. I just don't think there's anywhere to take it Sam."
Check out everything we've got on "Transformers: Dark of the Moon."

Julianne Moore has appeared on countless "best dressed" lists over the past two decades -- and yet she still gets palpitations when she hits the red carpet! Moore, 50, has admitted to Health magazine that she gets nervous when she goes to a big event, and she says she's not alone.
"I never feel confident!" Moore confesses in the interview. "I don't know that there's anybody who does. I mean, you don't look around the red carpet thinking, There’s a lot of confident people out here."
Um, you don't? Guess that carpet looks different when you're in the the middle of it! Or maybe it's just that Moore has maintained her humility better than most Hollywood stars. When asked about her amazingly youthful appearance, the Crazy, Stupid, Love. actress says she benefits from no longer being compared to younger actresses.
"Let me tell you something: The big thing about being 50 is the bar is much lower. People are like, 'Oh my God, you look great!' So that's sort of good," laughs Moore, who has gone without plastic surgery. "I have very strong hair, that's just genetics. And I credit my mother for keeping us out of the sun."
As for her body confidence in those many nude scenes, Moore says it doesn't always carry over into real life.
"Look, I think we're all neurotic," she levels. "I mean, you know, to be totally honest, I just came back from vacation, where I was at a breakfast buffet, and I'd eat pastry after pastry after pastry. So as a consequence, today when I have this photo shoot, I'm like a few pounds over what I'd like to be, and I'm just like, 'Oh, crap.' So yeah, I do think about that kind of stuff. But I try to keep things in perspective somewhat, too."
Part of keeping that perspective is passing on healthy habits to her kids: Caleb, 13, and Liv, 9. She says her efforts to balance healthy foods with treats have worked well so far -- perhaps too well!
"Both of my kids are really active, and they're good eaters, the kind of kids who will take an ice cream cone and say, 'I'm finished,' and throw it away," she says. "I'm like, 'I'll eat that.' That's my problem!"
Moore's newest film, Crazy, Stupid, Love with Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling, opens July 29.

Sick of media gossip that her curvaceous behind may have been enhanced with implants, Kim Kardashian recently went and got herself a butt X-ray to show the world once and for all whether she's packing anything less-than-kosher back there. The verdict? Her butt is 100 percent real, and it's spectacular!
Khloé Kardashian, 26, posted a photo on her blog Thursday, showing 30-year-old sister Kim posing next to an X-ray of her all-natural derriere. The title, fittingly, reads: "She's All Natural Baby!" And the caption says: "Hey dolls. The PROOF is in the X-ray. Kim's ass is 100% real!!!"
Khloé also tweeted out a link to the pic, writing, "Kim got a butt X-Ray... See, it's REAL!!! LOL." And Kim got in on the fun as well, retweeting her sister's post and adding: "Haha! The things my sisters have me do! Proof baby!"
So, aside from the media's obsession with her butt, what made Kim get the X-ray? Judging by her tweet and by a preview clip for this Sunday's episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians (10 p.m. ET on E!), Kim's sisters may have cajoled her a bit.
In the video, Kim, Khloé and Kourtney, 32, are looking at online gossip about Kim's famous booty. When Kim expresses disbelief that anyone would ever get butt implants, Khloé chimes in: "If you want to prove them wrong, get like an X-ray... of your ass to show there's no silicone s*** in there."
Kourtney concurs, saying, "I think that's an amazing idea." Of course, she later tells the camera: "I definitely think it's a stupid idea to get an X-ray, but I definitely think it would get people to stop the rumors. It would also be a lot of fun for me to see Kim going to ask the doctor for a butt X-ray." If you agree, tune in to Keeping Up this Sunday.

Helping President Barack Obama stay true to his word, Justin Bieber met up with 14-year-old Payton Wall - a young lady who lost her father during the tragic events of 9/11.
The meeting took place in New York City on Thursday (June 23), with the "Baby" hitmaker kindly greeting his adoring female fan after Obama promised Miss Wall that he would arrange a get-together when she explained that Bieber's music helped her get through the tragic death of her dad.
Justin spent his precious time chatting with Wall, her sister Avery and her friend Madison Roberson - with a photo of the gathering posted on Payton's Facebook page.
With Miss Wall telling that she was more nervous about meeting her musician idol than the U.S. Commander-In-Chief, she added of the experience, "It was so cool. I couldn?t believe it."
?He was really nice and is so cute,? Payton?s sister Avery told the NY Post. ?He didn?t even look real.?

Coinciding with the start of all-new season of "True Blood" hitting HBO, Anna Paquin included an appearance in the latest installment of V magazine in her press efforts.
The 28-year-old blonde beauty posed for a seductive spread for the publication, with the new issue set to hit newsstands on July 7th.
Miss Paquin also interviewed with V magazine, chatting about topics including her bisexuality and her co-star husband Stephen Moyer.
On getting intimate with Stephen during "True Blood" filming: ?Maybe it should be weird, simulating sex with your husband in front of people. But it?s really not. When it?s a love scene with someone you actually love it?s not ?Can I touch him here, can I touch him there? You know what your boundaries are, or aren?t I suppose.?
On Stephen's die-hard fanbase: ?There is probably something wrong with me, but I find it amusing to watch these men and women fawn all over him. It?s not like anyone is really trying to do anything inappropriate. They just him to hug them? or bite them.?
On her bisexuality: ?Frankly no one had ever asked me before: There is a lot of prejudice against us but the more people talk about it, the less of a deal it will be. Who people choose to sleep with ? or spend their lives with-shouldn?t matter, not that anyone particularly cares who I?m attracted to.?

Teen sensation made a surprise appearance to accept Best Jaw Dropping Moment prize.

Talk about a jaw-dropping moment. Justin Bieber, who was not scheduled to appear at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, dropped in unexpectedly to claim his Golden Popcorn in the Best Jaw Dropping Moment category for his 3-D concert spectacular "Never Say Never."
"It feels great. I'm so blessed," Bieber told MTV News backstage. "I'm so glad to be back here and to have so many great fans. It's a great night."
"Never Say Never" was a career-defining moment for Bieber and he's fully aware of that fact. "It was great. It was my first time performing at Madison Square Garden and just being there and having that experience, I'm glad that I got to just have that experience. It was great."
After opening the envelope to reveal Bieber had bested his fellow nominees (which included did-that-just-happen scenes from "127 Hours," "Black Swan," "Inception" and "Jackass 3D"), "30 Minutes or Less" co-stars Danny McBride, Nick Swardson and Aziz Ansari were about to be in for an even bigger surprise than the upset victory itself.
Ansari -- who dressed up as Jaden Smith from "The Karate Kid," only to discover Will Smith's son wouldn't be attending -- cried after revealing Bieber's name, "He's not here! He's not here!" The "Parks and Recreation" star then joked that the singing sensation wouldn't be able to accept his first MTV Movie Award because, "He's too busy burning a huge pile of cash in a private jet while he's Skyping with Jaden Smith and Selena Gomez!"
But apparently Bieber wasn't too busy, as the 17-year-old (whose girlfriend, Selena Gomez, was in the audience) suddenly appeared from offstage wearing a "Miami Vice"-like outfit that included a blue blazer, white pants and sunglasses, causing the audience to erupt in the kind of screams that seem to follow him everywhere. After greeting the presenters, Bieber, who stood in the swirling stage fog, took to the microphone and told the crowd, "Thank you so much," explaining that he showed up to the MTV Movie Awards because, "I couldn't let down my fans."
Bieber went on to thank "Never Say Never" director Jon Chu, as well as his manager Scooter Braun, his family and, once again, his ever-supportive fans. "I love you!" he yelled before making a peace sign, which he signed off with a kiss.
