If you've been following movies anytime since 2008, then you're probably acutely aware of what Robert Pattinson's eyes look like—especially if you're a frequent shopper at Walmart. Well, guess what?

The tagline for the film stands out in white among an assortment of letters and reads, "In a world of lies, only one man can see the truth." Standing out towards the...

The recent "Prometheus" featurettes have made it really hard to go into the movie spoiler-free. The latest one includes some new footage and a basic set-up of the movie's plot, so if you're looking to avoid plot details for the upcoming movie, our advice is to not read past the jump. Now we already know that "Prometheus" deals with two big questions: who are we, and where did we come from? This new featurette deals with both of those questions and expands on how director Ridley Scott tried to base the film in some form of reality. The three...

Photo: (Getty Images) Adam Levine has been courtin' votes and showerin' love on his singers all season -- but his team still got dumped by America in "The Voice" finale when former Mousketeer Tony Lucca came in a disappointing 3rd place. But it's not all bad news for the Maroon 5 frontman. Now that his vocal coach duties are donzo, Adam Levine can finally focus on replacing his smokin' hot ex-girlfriend, Anne V. -- and here at Act, we think the sexy singer should go more "role model" than actual "supermodel" this time around. (However,...

Josh Brolin is a busy man these days, with his scene-stealing and spot-on performance as young Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) in "Men In Black 3," chasing baddie Sean Penn with Ryan Gosling in the buzzy ensemble crime flick "Gangster Squad," and getting "gnarly" in Spike Lee's "Oldboy." Would you believe he's also got a dark and dramatic adaptation of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" in the works with a possible assist from Tim Burton? Brolin recently told MTV News how the project suddenly came together. "'Hunchback' will happen for sure, for sure," he said. "I woke up one morning and said, 'I...

Photo: (Getty Images) When running for public office, people are going to dig into your past. Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, learned that first-hand this week. As the Washington Post reports, in 1965 a teenage Romney led a group of his classmates to wrestle down a gay boy and forcibly cut off his long hair. Five different people involved separately reported the same incident. Since then, Romney has apologized, saying, "I don't recall the incident myself, but I've seen the reports and I'm not going to argue with...

'Got Your 6' is a new campaign led by the entertainment industry striving to spark up a new conversation in America. They want to see military families and veterans to be perceived...

Photo: (Getty Images) Even British boy band The Wanted feel unwanted sometimes. Who by? Christina Aguilera. After a recent visit to "The Voice," the band's Tom Parker called Christina "a total b*tch" for apparently refusing to look at and speak to them. They apologized, but now are back at it! Perhaps she was just intimidated? Good looks x (5 boys + 5 British accents) = speechless, in my book. Maybe not for Christina, but chill out boys! Millions of women around the world still kiss your glossy posters goodnight before bed. Although what Christina...

By Zachary Swickey The remaining members of the legendary rock group Queen might want to have a chat about whether or not they want to get into the hologram business. Drummer Roger Taylor insisted that it would never happen, but now guitarist Brian May pretty much says that's exactly what is about to go down. Following Tupac's holo-appearance at Coachella this year, many people were speculating about which acts could utilize such an effect, with Queen being an obvious choice. However, drummer Roger Taylor was quick to suggest the group would...

This time next week "Battleship" will blast into theaters, but a few lucky people saw the film at the L.A. premiere last night! Rihanna brought her whole family along for the voyage as she hit the blue carpet in a revealing dress that made us question why she ever held boob envy for Brooklyn Decker.

Photo: (Bennett-Olsen.com) Getting your first job after high school or college can be scary, and doubly so in this job environment. The current unemployment rate is at 8.2 percent and a recent report found that the employment rate for young people is the lowest it's been in sixty years! But before you panic (and, please, don't panic) take a look at 22-year-old Bennett Olson's clever way to get a job. See, sometimes you've just got to be creative. Last month Bennett paid to have himself advertised on an electric billboard sign. There was...

By Zachary Swickey If you kept up with the nail-biting second season of NBC's "The Voice," then you are already aware that Jermaine Paul was crowned this season's winner. However, the real juicy backstory throughout the season has been the peculiar and seemingly bitter feud between Christina Aguilera and contestant Tony Lucca, who both appeared on "The Mickey Mouse Club" as kids. It all started when Lucca first took the stage and Aguilera seemed to not recognize him. But that was just the start. As the season continued, Aguilera became...

Well, you can add JWOWW's commentary to the list. Her words on Twitter are pretty blunt, but she's talking about everyone loving and not bullying: My best friend will get married one day and not just have civil union...
