But did you know that Emma's mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, and now Emma's an advocate for detecting cancer early? In fact, she's recently teamed up with Revlon for their campaign Lips Can Save Lives. No, they're not talking about a new lipstick color. The makeup company is encouraging women to use their lips to talk about cancer, and Emma is the perf ambassador for this. Other ambassadors are Halle...

Photo: (Getty Images) In every presidential election, there are blue states and red states, but many "swing voters" are still deciding whether they want to be on Team Obama or Team Romney. "Jersey Shore"'s Snooki doesn't say much about politics, but the Republican nominee and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney seems to think she's a swing vote he might be able to get. In a recent interview, Romney got all into MTV and pop culture."I'm kind of a Snooki fan," he said. "Look how tiny's she's gotten. She's lost weight. She's energetic....

Photo: (Getty Images) We're still all up ons Frank Ocean's haunting, goose-bumps inducing performance at the VMAs for "Thinking Bout You." After his VMA debut, sales for his caught-up-on-a-crush anthem jumped by 373%! Oh and sales for his album, Channel Orange, were up by 60%! We're also pretty excited to see him sing his heart out on the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live" tomorrow. All this good news got us thinking 'bout what we wish Frank was thinking 'bout. Capiche?! If you're cool enough to kick it prosocial-style, you'll be down with...

The new domestic one sheet for "Skyfall," a simple, sleek teaser for the 23rd Bond film, makes for a handsome addition to a series known for its artwork. While such a minimalistic poster isn't characteristic of Bond ads, which have typically erred on the side of explosive, it's still true to the series and specifically the feel of "Skyfall." Since a new great Bond poster is as good an excuse as any to take a brief look back some of our favorites of the series, take a look at the full "Skyfall" poster and some oldies after the jump! ...

Joss Whedon tried something a little new with his take of William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing." Instead of going on a planned trip to Italy after wrapping "The Avengers," he decided to bring together some of his closest friends to film an adaptation of the classic comedy. They finished shooting the movie in 12 days last year, and Whedon finally debuted it at the Toronto International Film Festival this week where it met with rave reviews. MTV News had the chance to catch up with Whedon while he was promoting the movie and...

After wowing fans at Comic-Con, "Godzilla" is going to be storming into theaters on May 16, 2014. Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures made the announcement today via press release, and we couldn't be more excited. We don't know much about the new take on the classic monster movie, but everything we do know has us intrigued. With less than two years until Gareth Edwards' take on "Godzilla" hits theaters, we have plenty more time to learn about the plot, see the titular monster and find out just how gritty this project will get. But, for now,...

If there's one thing you need to know about Nathan Fillion, one of the many Joss Whedon regulars showing up in his microbudget Shakespeare adaptation "Much Ado About Nothing," it's that the man gives amazing hugs. Josh Horowitz went all the way to the Toronto International Film Festival to find out the secret behind a signature Fillion Man Hug. Don't fear the hug. Embrace it. That's the Fillion way.

Winter is coming, and with it the first still from "Game of Thrones" season three. The image comes courtesy of HBO's Making Game of Thrones blog and shows an actor (with his back facing the camera unfortunately) filming a scene in Northern Ireland. The blog post says they're filming a very important fight between "two main protagonists" who become an "unexpected pairing" and that it is a "character-defining scene, for more than one who is involved, so it has to be done well." We have a couple of theories about who it could be (Jaime and Brienne?...

The way the first trailer for Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" is structured, it's easy to assume that Daniel Day-Lewis' Lincoln voice belongs to someone else the first time we hear it. When we finally match the voice to the face, it almost seems a little bizarre to not only associate Lincoln with that higher voice, but to hear it come from Daniel "I Drink Your Milkshake" Day-Lewis. img class="mtvn_player_poster_frame" height="320" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uar6-KH3Dc2eMm6Tk_ZD9BUuOZPfOlP2yHgsiJj__i6vowqj47L1LXpcquM9df3lIiacjPybbCI9e-rsMuZc3dhlYn5aaUS3CEgil2VIAiIhNOM7dLT0SCQtogforZhSZCBlHn_JKkQ7eO7qGa4e-69EWPM-Rj7omDXw=s0-d"...

Had things gone a little differently in life, James Cameron could have directed "Jurassic Park" instead of Steven Spielberg. The "Avatar" director let that bomb drop during a conversation with Huffington Post at an event at the recently-opened Titanic Museum in Belfast. Apparently Spielberg had purchased the rights to "Jurassic Park" only hours before Cameron tried to, meaning he had the daunting task of bringing Michael Crichton's novel to the big screen. The rest, as they say, is history, but we couldn't resist listing off some of the ways...
