A sad day for fans of LEGOs and "Shaun of the Dead." The proposed LEGO set based on the Edgar Wright film is not going to happen. I'll wait for you to dry your tears.

Tolkien mash-up in today's Dailies! » "Harry Potter" writer Steve Kloves will adapt "The Jungle Book." [The Playlist] » As it turns out, most Samuel L.

Photo: (Getty Images) TLC has been popping up in the news lately, though it's for a sad reason: this week marks the tenth anniversary of member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes' death in a car accident. While we send our thoughts to Left Eye's friends and family, we at MTV Act want to show the amazing and helpful things Left Eye did, along with her fellow bandmates T-Boz and Chilli. +The Lisa Lopes Foundation Left Eye visited Honduras and wanted to help out the poverty-stricken country. She was in the midst of starting up her org -- which would supply...

We already knew that "A Good Day To Die Hard" is headed to Russia, but what we didn't realize is that it's almost exclusively set there. MTV News recently caught up with Fox CEO Tom Rothman at CinemaCon to chat about the many films the studio has on its roster, and he confirmed that "Die Hard 5" is gearing up to start this week. Even though its setting will be a departure from the previous "Die Hard" movies, Rothman feels this one keeps in tone with the classic installments of the series. "It's all set in Russia -- well, there's bookend scenes in New York," Rothman said. "But it's John...

This week at the movies may be remembered by future generations as "the weekend before 'The Avengers' came out," but there are a few movies worth checking out this weekend, "Sound of My Voice" being the clear standout of the group. If you're looking for some movies to watch this weekend, we've got your playlist. Check out this week's Double Feature Friday! "The Raven" & "The Crow" Perhaps before heading to the theater to learn about Edgar Allen Poe's favorite bird, you can check out a different gothic feathered friend. Director Alex...

Photo: (@katyperry/Twitter) In her live performance of "Part of Me" on "American Idol" last night, Katy Perry debuted the U.S. government's new secret weapon: female soldiers in very short camo shorts. With these ladies on the front lines, our enemies will surely surrender with no shots fired. Okay, maybe not, but Katy did recently show us what it means to be a true American idol when she visited the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. During a performance at the Academy last week, Katy demonstrated just how much she appreciates the...

Only one more week until the "Avengers" assemble in theaters! We've been ready to don a pair of Iron Man 3-D glasses since the announcement that a movie was in the works (and the announcement that Iron Man 3-D glasses were a real thing!). But we've been able to compose our excitement as Marvel released tons of clips, posters and movie stills to tide us over until May 4. One of our favorite pre-released scenes is when Iron Man confronts Loki and reminds him exactly who he's up against. Actor Tom Hiddleston, who plays Thor's scorned brother,...

Listen, we already know that you're going to check out "MTV First: Battleship" this coming Monday, April 30 at 7:56 p.m. ET on MTV. We're premiering an exclusive clip from "Battleship" and then sitting down with Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker at MTV.com immediately after, so of course you're going to. But because you're so enthusiastic about "MTV First: Battleship," we're giving you a quick sneak peek at the never-before-seen clip. Admittedly, it's a little bit of a teaser, but that's kind of the whole point. If you want your questions answered by the cast...

Photo: (People magazine) I'mma let you finish but... People magazine has named R&B queen Beyoncé Knowles "The World's Most Beautiful Woman." Although Beyoncé's bootylicious bod alone is enough to win her the title, it is her kindness and passion for giving that makes her truly beautiful. Amiright? Here are the World's most beautiful photos of the 16-time Grammy winner showing us her inner and outer beauty over the years. + Beyoncé looks flawless post-pregnancy and donates Blue Ivy's baby gifts to charity.

"The Five-Year Engagement" is not your typical romantic comedy. It has conflict built right into the title, instead of using a Nancy Meyers-esque turn of phrase. The writers behind "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller, have reteamed to reflect on what comes after popping the questions, and Segel and Emily Blunt lead a hilarious cast that includes appropriately ridiculous turns from Chris Pratt of "Parks and Recreation" and Alison Brie of "Community" and "Mad Men" fame. Despite a bloated running time, "The Five-Year...

"The Apocalypse" is likely to have plenty of celebrity cameos, but there's one in particular who James Franco has his sights set on: Rihanna. During an interview at CinemaCon, Franco let it slip that there might be a role for her in the upcoming post apocalyptic flick. (Based on what we know of the planned celebrity cameos, perhaps that means she's going to be playing herself as a corpse?) No matter the size of her role, Franco seems genuinely excited about Rihanna's inclusion in the film. "I think she's going to be in the new movie I'm doing, Seth Rogen's directorial debut," he teased. "I...

By Zachary Swickey There are extremely few artists in the music industry that can be considered living legends at the spry young age of only 36, but Jack White has easily earned such distinction with his guitar prowess and impressive catalog of music with the White Stripes, the Raconteurs, the Dead Weather and now his own solo career. >> Jack White Teases Gary Oldman-Directed Live Stream Concert White's solo debut, Blunderbuss, came out earlier this week and is positioned to take the #1 spot on the Billboard charts when the numbers...

Photo: (Getty Images) It's prom season! The outfits you wear is a big part of that night, but the truth is that getting ready for prom can be pretty damn expensive. Have you seen how much some of those glitzy dresses cost? Not everyone has money to spare to get dressed up the way they'd like to, but Hayden Panettiere is teaming up with DoSomething.org to make some epic nights happen, with the Prom For All campaign. Hayden is donating some pretty dresses she doesn't need anymore (kinda like Victoria Justice donating her 2010 VMAs dress to...

When you think boy bands, what comes to mind? Screams, crazy crowds of teens, more screams, fainting, more screaming, and crazy good looks. MTV News' Battle Of The Boy Bands, which launched Monday with an array of bands from all generations, is down to 16 finalists. Just like in real life, One Direction and The Wanted are in; *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys are out. (But how?!) Here at MTV Act, we have veryyyy carefully put together our ultimate boy band. Said band is made up of boy band members who have not only made a tremendous impact in...

If you can think of better combinations than Crispin Glover and chicken wings, you're a harder thinker than we are. The "Back to the Future" and "Willard" actor has perfected the ways of weird and wacky on the screen for decades now, and he's showing no signs of slowing down. For his latest trick, Glover appeared as a guest on NextMovie's Chicken Wing Chat to discuss his work in the upcoming movie "Freaky Deaky." You'll get a whole lot more than that when you sink your teeth into some chicken with Glover in the video below. ...
