"Mama" isn't exactly the type of movie we're used to seeing Golden Globe winner Jessica Chastain in. Then again, the Jessica Chastain we see in "Mama" is what we're used to either. For the horror movie from executive producer Guillermo del Toro, Chastain slipped into an entirely new persona, donning a short black wig and covering her arms in tattoos. When MTV News spoke with Chastain about the look, she walked us through the development of her character, Annabel, and the real-life inspiration for her signature style. While...

The How It Should Have Ended team has tackled a lot of Hollywood movies in their day, but somehow we never get sick of watching their accurate summations of how a bunch of Hollywood blockbusters could have ended a lot sooner. This time, they're covering "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" -- but, really, they're showing how the entire "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings" story arc could have been ended in around two hours. When Gandalf notices that Bilbo is pocketing something that likely is the One Ring of Sauron, why doesn't he pipe up?...

By Hannah Soo Park Don't let the name fool you, because meatballs are no longer in the forecast. In fact, the latest FLDSMDFR creation could actually be the stuff food nightmares are made of.

Photo: (MTV) MTV's new series "Washington Heights" is all about twenty-somethings following their dreams and passions and the dramz that comes with it -- from family struggles to dirty crushes. The best part of the show, besides the relatable cast is the fashion and music. Definitely the music. The show's main narrator JP is a rapper and he helped pick songs for the show. We figured since he and his friends have legit taste, they would share their favorite song that gets them going -- whether they're werkin it at the gym or writing a song...
