Fashion Minute: MTV Movie Awards Red Carpet

The MTV Movie Awards were last night, so of course, all of Hollywood’s leading ladies were out to show off their outfits and what not. Some great, some not so great.

Overall, the red carpet was a little boring. Nobody really pushed the envelope or delivered a ‘wow factor.’ The best outfits were really only ‘cute,’ meanwhile the bad were disastrous. I get it, it’s not the oscars, but I think a little more effort could have been put into it. Photos courtesy of MTV.

Here’s some of my favourites. We have Kristen Stewart in Balmain, Elle Fanning in D&G, Hailee Steinfeld in Louis Vuitton (my favourite of the night!) and Emma Watson in Marchesa.

Then, we have the not so great. We have Reese Witherspoon in Zac Posen (it looked a little young on her, no?), Emma Stone in Bottega Veneta (unlike Reese, it was too old on her), Katie Cassidy in Catherine Malandrino, and Jessiza Szohr in Alice + Olivia (there are no words, just so, so bad.)

Sources tell TMZ that Lindsay Lohan isn’t going to get any heat from the L.A. County Probation Department.

Following reports that her SCRAM bracelet had a positive reading after the MTV Movie Awards, the source says that Lindsay took a urine test, and the results were clean.

Shawn Chapman Holley, Lindsay’s lawyer, says that the star went to the Probation Department the morning after the awards show and the test results were negative for alcohol, leaving Lohan in the clear.

A source at the Probation Department tells TMZ that a clean result is all they needed to see and no breach of Lohan’s bail conditions occurred during this situation.

Eminem Opens Up About Brüno Incident

In case you missed the 2009 MTV movie awards, this is what went down (literally): Sacha Baron Cohen — as his fashionista character Brüno — dropped from the rafters of the Gibson Amphitheatre through the help of wires, landing butt-naked on Eminem’s face.

The rapper appeared to be furious and stormed out of the award ceremony with his posse. After a few days, Eminem finally broke the silence on Wednesday (June 3) to RapRadar.com.

“Sacha [Baron Cohen] called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards. I’m a big fan of his work so I agreed to get involved with the gag,” he told RapRadar.com. “I’m thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going ‘nuts,’ so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it.”

As for where he went after leaving the awards ceremony, Eminem explained, “After the ceremony I went back to my hotel and laughed uncontrollably for about three hours. Especially after I saw it on-air”.

Ben Stiller will be honoured at next week’s MTV Movie Awards with the MTV Generation Award, joining the ranks of such past recipients as Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, Mike Myers and Tom Cruise.

In a statement Friday, the network lauded the actor for pushing the boundaries throughout his career.

“From ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ to ‘Zoolander,’ Ben is a comedic chameleon, able to make the leap between drama and full-out comedy while maintaining his own unique brand of subversive humor,” Van Toffler, president of MTV Networks Music/Logo/Film Group, said.

“Whether it’s fighting a monkey in a museum or licking a decapitated head, nothing is ever off-limits for him and that’s the type of warped creative vision and commitment MTV loves to reward.”

Stiller said he was honoured to be receiving the award.

“I was given my first show at MTV, and also canceled for the first time,” he said. “I also was secretly having an affair with [original MTV VJ] J.J. Jackson, so it brings back pleasant memories.”

Stiller’s film credits include “Reality Bites,” “There’s Something About Mary,” “Meet the Parents,” “Zoolander,” “Tropic Thunder” and the just-released “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.”

“High School Musical” star Zac Efron will present Stiller with the honour at the awards show, which is set to take place May 31 in Universal City, Calif.

Kings of Leon have joined the lineup for the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, the network revealed Wednesday.

The band, which is currently in the middle of a North American arena tour, will perform “Use Somebody,” the most recent single from their album “Only By The Night.”

Only one other performer, Eminem, has been confirmed to perform at the show so far.

Hosted by “SNL”/Lonely Island star Andy Samberg, the awards will air live from the Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal City, CA on May 31, beginning at 9 p.m. ET on MTV Canada.

Kings of Leon kicked off their tour on April 19 and will wrap up May 21 in San Francisco. Fans can also catch them this summer at several U.S. music festivals – including Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and Sasquatch – as well as the U.K.’s Reading and Leeds festivals.

A fire tore through Universal Studios Sunday morning. The blaze broke out just before dawn on a back-lot soundstage, destroying a building housing the King Kong exhibit and threatened the studio’s film fault.

About 200 city and county firefighters joined studio firefighters to extinguish the blaze. Helicopters dropped water onto the burning lot as 100 foot flames overtook the structures. One firefighter is said to be injured, although his condition is yet to be determined.

Eliot Sekuler of Universal Studios said the hilltop theme park was not damaged and would still be open today, which is good news for the MTV Movie Awards. The ceremony is set to take place today, with Mike Myers hosting live from Universal’s Gibson Amphitheatre.

Celebrities expected at the awards are Sarah Jessica Parker, Adam Sandler, Lindsay Lohan, Liv Tyler, Anne Hathaway, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Hudson, James Franco, Paris Hilton, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, Nikki Blonsky, Coldplay and the Pussycat Dolls.

It’s not exactly the Oscars (the trophies are made of golden popcorn, after all) but “Wedding Crashers” was the big winner at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards on Saturday night.

The blockbuster comedy took home three awards including Best Movie, Best On-Screen Team and Breakthrough Performance, according to E! Online. Owen Wilson and a M.I.A. Vince Vaughn took home the On-Screen Team Award, while Isla Fisher ? the movie’s sex-crazed nutcase ? won for Breakthrough Performance.

“For some people, playing a bipolar nymphomaniac may have been a challenge, but for me, I think I just played myself,” she said in her acceptance speech.

Coming in second for most awards was gay-cowboy-extravaganza “Brokeback Mountain.” Jake Gyllenhaal won the Best Performance Award, but also picked up the Best Kiss Award on behalf of himself and absent co-star Heath Ledger.

All awards were decided by fan votes, both online and through text messaging.

The show, hosted by Jessica Alba, features performances by Christina Aguilera, AFI, and Gnarls Barkley. It will air June 8 on MTV Canada, starting with the pre-show at 8:30 p.m. EST.
