Are Your Fave Stars Geeks Or Posers? Watch And Find Out

Posted 7/29/11 3:44 pm EST by MTV News in comic-con, Movies

Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried

Ahhhh, Comic-Con! It's a place for movie gossip, a place for celebrity sightings and, of course, a place for seeing full-grown adults dressed up in spandex superhero suits without so much as a hint of embarrassment. But, above all, it is a place for GEEKS. Which is why, when MTV News' Josh Horowitz got a few famous people to sit down with him for our latest After Hours, we put them to the test with a little Game of Geekery. Which "Twilight" star knows his Tolkien trivia? Which sultry starlets are secret nerds? Can't anyone do a decent impression of Yoda anymore?! Find out, in...."GEEKS OR POSERS!"

Things get off to a sad start when Josh asks his assembled guests to begin by naming Elijah Wood's character in "Lord of the Rings." Amanda Seyfried stutters, "It's, uh... y'know. That guy?" before giving up. And Elizabeth Reaser and Nikki Reed look like a pair of deer in the headlights as they each look to each other for help. Bzzzzt! Posers! Deer-lookin' posers!!!

Watch the video, which also features Taylor Lautner, Justin Timberlake and new “Superman” Henry Cavill, after the jump. Read More...

Check Out Some Great Interviews From 2011 Comic-Con

Posted 7/25/11 4:00 pm EST by MTV News in comic-con, Movies

From Hollywood Crush:

It was a busy few days for the MTV News crew covering 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, but fortunately our hours of "hard work" constituted chatting up the sexiest and most buzzworthy stars in the biz (meaning it's not really that hard at all).

With scrumptious scoop flying left and right all weekend, there's a chance something really great may have passed you by, so here's a rundown of our favorite interviews from the Con:

"The Amazing Spider-Man" Star Andrew Garfield

He won our hearts when we asked about the body type required for his scrappy superhero. Turns out he put a lot of effort into convincing director Marc Webb to not have Spider-Man flaunt Captain America-sized muscles.

"I love the idea of a skinny guy beating the crap out of big guys, just as a personal fantasy fulfillment for myself," he said with a laugh. "I think a lot of skinny guys and skinny girls like me are going to hopefully watch a skinny guy in a red and blue suit beating the crap out of big guys and really enjoy that."

Did You See This?! T.I., Radiohead, Comic-Con And More

T.I. By Adrienne Day

There's a lot going on in the world that doesn't necessarily get addressed in our Newsroom blog. Here's a look at some top stories making headlines today.

T.I. channeled the pain and turmoil of his life into the Grammy-nominated Paper Trail — but is that enough to net him the Best Rap Album award come Sunday? Plus: T.I., Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil Wayne will "Swagga" together onstage for the first time during the ceremony.

We look at how Radiohead took on — and forever changed — the music industry with their Grammy-nominated album In Rainbows.

Zac Efron's "17 Again" co-star Melora Hardin called the teen star "dreamy" and said she didn't think he'd mind dating an older woman.

Comic fans, take note! MTV News' movies, comic book and gaming experts will be onsite at New York's Comic-Con to bring you the latest news, previews, announcements and reports from ground zero. Head over to Splash Page to find out where we'll be.

Dawn Richard tells us how her own love of comic art led to the creation of Danity Kane, the group and the comic series.

Wolverine By Josh Horowitz

This was my first San Diego Comic-Con and to be perfectly honest I was mentally spent by the first afternoon (I think my brain officially stopped working when I witnessed Stan Lee walking in on a Hugh Jackman interview). If you weren't with us in person we hope you were checking in with us throughout the four days right here. If not, no worries. We forgive and forget. And to show you how much we care, let's run through some of what you can (and must!) check-out from Comic-Con '08!

-- We showed you Paris Hilton writhing around in a horror opera from the guys that did "Saw"!

-- We talked "Twilight" music with Stephenie Meyer herself(!) and director Catherine Hardwicke.

-- Rose McGowan IS "Red Sonja" and we debuted the first poster.

-- We learned that Keanu Reeves won't be stretching his muscles as Plastic Man anytime soon.

-- Gerard Way revealed his latest comic book plans.
