'Glee: The 3D Concert Movie': The Reviews Are In!

Is it as good as the show? Completely gratuitous? Worth the 3-D effects? Read what the critics have to say.

For the "Glee"-obsessed out there counting down the days until the start of the hit TV show's third season, your wait has been temporarily abated with the arrival of "Glee: The 3D Concert Movie."

Here at MTV News, we've been celebrating the arrival of the 88-minute music-filled extravaganza with several fun moments with castmembers, including a "Glee"-style musical recap of the film and a hilarious list of superlatives. But now, with the movie finally out, it's time to analyze the nuts and bolts of the film by way of critical mass — it's currently posting a 61 percent "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Read on for the "Glee: The 3D Concert Movie" reviews, pro/con style.

The Setup
"A blend of concert footage, interstitial fan segments and faux behind-the-scenes snippets (the actors remain in character), pic avoids going the 'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never' route of documenting the cast members' rise to stardom. Nor does it offer much in the way of surprises. Instead, the goal is largely to provide the 'Glee' Live! concert event for those who missed the recent tour, an immersive experience enhanced by fan testimonials about the series' positive impact on their lives. As tempting as it is to label this approach over-calculated and self-congratulatory, it's virtually impossible not to be swept up in the surge of ebullience and affection. As one fan attests, ' "Glee" is like medicine.' Adds another, 'It's like the playlist of my life.' — Lael Loewenstein, Variety

"Even Gleeks who love to watch seasoned showbiz belters pretend to be high school kids on the hit TV series 'Glee' may wince at the cheesy marketing angle of 'Glee the 3D Concert Movie.' And I report this as a former geeky high school alto who is, if not a Gleek, at least 'Glee' friendly. ... The positive power of a TV show to encourage tolerance and compassion among its viewers is a wonderful thing. But these 'success stories' tilt uncomfortably toward self-congratulation on the part of the producers; certainly they register as overkill for the intended audience, who presumably already know how awesome it is." — Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

The Performances
"The concert stuff is a slightly knottier matter. The actors from the series perform in character, enacting the roles they play on the show onstage as they sing; Lea Michele's goofily diva-esque Rachel belts out Streisand's big 'Funny Girl' number 'Don't Rain on My Parade' as if Babs herself were out in the audience checking it out. ... A Kurt/Rachel duet of 'Get Happy' and 'Happy Days Are Here Again' is an apt nod to Judy Garland and the originalist strain of glee-club singing and is kind of nifty. On the other hand, Finn's ballad rendition of 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' is an equally apt reminder of the fact that just because something can be done doesn't mean that it should, and the version of Queen's cheekily crass 'Fat Bottomed Girls' by Mark Salling's studly Puck is both entirely beside the point and from hunger, as it were. — Glen Kinney, MSN Movies

"Another of the movie's strengths is the showcasing of cast members with dance training, like McHale, Heather Morris and Harry Shum Jr. The gifted Shum gets favored by the camera frequently during choreographer Zach Woodlee's dance routines, while Morris — whose deadpan timing as ditzy cheerleader Brittany is a show standout — shines in her pumped-up version of Britney Spears' 'I'm a Slave 4 U.' " — Robert Abele, The Los Angeles Times

The Final Word
"For a film that was put together so rapidly, it doesn't look at all shoddy (except for a couple of frames near the end shot from the giant screen instead of the stage). The 3D effect, however, is largely superfluous until the final credits, when the show's trademark blue slushie heads straight for the viewer. On that note, you might leave 'Glee 3D' feeling a little gooey all over, but that slushie does taste kind of sweet." — Loewenstein, Variety

"The movie is entertaining and, admittedly, completely unnecessary. Yes, it works well enough in theaters. But it also would have worked just as well as a heavily promoted special television event broadcast over Thanksgiving weekend. ... In the end, 'Glee: The 3D Concert Movie' is actually a perfect representation of 'Glee' the TV show: At its best, it's joyful, uplifting and even, occasionally, moving. And at its worst, it's a propaganda piece designed to win our undying loyalty to a TV show/cash cow that advocates for the little guy even though it's clearly turned into a diva." — Jen Chaney, The Washington Post

Katie Holmes? No. 1 Fan

katiesytycd1_wide.jpg
Katie Holmes was back again as a guest judge on So You Think You Can Dance? this week. The actress, mother and designer said to the other judges, ?I?m so excited to be back. I love these dancers and I love you and congratulations on your Emmy nomination!?

But it was her daughter, Suri, who seemed the most excited to be there. Suri was dressed up in a little black dancer?s outfit and sat in the audience with friends holding up a big ?We Heart Katie? sign during the show.

The mother-daughter duo, who are normally inseparable, constantly blew kisses and waved at each other during the commercial breaks. According to a set insider, ?Suri clapped extra loud and had a huge smile on her face when the host Cat Deeley announced Katie onstage. You could tell she was so proud of her mom.?

The tiny dancer was incredibly well-behaved and sat through almost the entire show without fidgeting before running up onstage at the end to join her mom. Suri danced around on the side of the stage with her nanny while Katie kissed and hugged Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy at the end of the night. But probably the most exciting part of the night for the So You Think You Can Dance? dancers? Tom Cruise made a quick appearance to support his wife before ducking backstage!

Sean seemed happy to hand his best friend Justin Bieber a coveted surf board award at the show, especially after all that he did for Sean. "Justin has been there since the day I came out of the hospital," he shares. "He is definitely a great and loyal friend."

'Dirty Dancing' Remake In The Works

'High School Musical' director Kenny Ortega will helm reboot of Patrick Swayze classic.
By Jocelyn Vena

In 1987, Patrick Swayze famously declared, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner." Now it seems a new generation of moviegoers will get the chance to fall in love with Baby and her coming-of-age story all over again.

"High School Musical" director Kenny Ortega has announced that he will direct a remake of the classic film, which starred Swayze and Jennifer Grey. No cast has been announced, but in a statement to EW.com, Ortega said, "The opportunity to direct 'Dirty Dancing' is like returning home for me. ... Patrick Swayze set the bar for men dancing in the movies as Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire did before him. I believe everywhere you look there is evidence that the talent is out there and I can't wait to begin the process of discovering the next breakout triple-threats."

Ortega certainly has the résumé to tackle such a project. He was once attached to the "Footloose" remake before passing on that project. He was behind the "HSM" flicks, helmed "Michael Jackson's This Is It" and back in the day directed movies like "Newsies" and "Hocus Pocus."

For those unfamiliar with the story of "Dirty Dancing," it revolves around Baby (Grey) and her family, who are vacationing in New York's Catskills Mountains. The social politics of the 1960s provide the backdrop as Baby falls in love with the resort's star dancer, Johnny Castle (Swayze). The star-crossed lovers embark on a romance that includes lots of, you guessed it, dancing, dirty and otherwise. The remake will feature music of the time period.

The film's breakthrough track, "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" (performed by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes), recently got updated by the Black Eyed Peas when it was sampled for their song "The Time (Dirty Bit)."

"I think it's crazy the way the world works, because ['Dirty Dancing' star] Jennifer Grey is now on 'Dancing With the Stars,' and for some reason that song kind of meant something to us, because we kind of have had an amazing run. I mean, it just keeps going and it keeps going," Fergie explained to MTV News of the sample's significance.

"And we really feel like we have had the time of our lives together, and it's kind of weird how the world works," she continued about the funky track. "And that song reminds me of [Grey] and 'Dirty Dancing' and that whole time, so it's just, I don't know, it all fit."

Bruce Willis In Talks To Join 'G.I. Joe 2' Cast

Veteran action hero would play leader General Joe Colton in 'Retaliation.'

Bruce Willis is in talks to put the "Joe" back in "G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation," if the latest casting rumors are to be believed.

The veteran action hero is just the latest actor to circle the upcoming "G.I. Joe" sequel, which is set to begin filming in New Orleans later this month. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Willis may join the cast of the recently retitled "G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation" (formerly "G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes"), playing General Joe Colton, the man responsible for starting the G.I. Joe strike team in the 1980s comic books.

The sequel already has some big names attached to it, including leading man Channing Tatum and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as heavy machine-gunner Roadblock (the character sidelined as a cook in the "Joe" comics). When MTV News caught up with Tatum at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, he said he had yet to meet Johnson but was looking forward to it.

"I'm so excited to meet him. I hear he's literally one of the nicest people on the entire planet. I'm just excited to hear that he's that huge and that nice," Tatum said with a laugh.

"G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation" will also feature many new faces: RZA, Adrianne Palicki, Ray Stevenson, Joe Mazzello, D.J. Cotrona and Elodie Yung are all new to the sequel. They'll join previous "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" castmembers Tatum, Ray Park and Lee Byung-hun.

In addition, "Retaliation" replaces "Rise of Cobra" director Stephen Sommers with "Step Up 3D" director Jon M. Chu.

"It's all going to be new," Tatum told us, "New director, new writers, new actors, so it's going to be fun."

It's also going to feature plenty of ninjas, so "G.I. Joe" fans can look forward to seeing their favorite American heroes facing off against some pretty nasty villains. "G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation" will hit theaters on July 29, 2012.

Demi Moore's Fashion Influences? Her Daughters!

Who is the new face of Ann Taylor, you ask? It's 48-year-old ageless beauty, Demi Moore, who says she's loved the brand since she was a kid, appreciating the "workout to work to weekend" aesthetic.

Following in the footsteps of Katie Holmes and Naomi Watts, Demi is another wise choice for Ann Taylor because both marry the "classic with a twist" vibe ? a style Demi says her three daughters (Rumer, 22, Scout, 20 and Tallulah, 17) helped her hone. "There are things I might wear with flats that they would put with heels," explains the star, adding, "They definitely stay at a kind of cutting edge because they're still in that experimental stage, which is important...We have to remember that it's okay to take risks."

Ah, spoken like a true fashionista (not-to-mention, one totally cool mom)!

'Glee' Stars Tease 'The 3D Concert Movie' - In Song!

Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith and more give MTV News their very own musical preview of what to expect at the theater.
By Kara Warner

Before we get to the nuts and bolts of "Glee: The 3D Concert Movie," it's worth noting that the cast of "Glee" may be the most hardworking group of actors in the business right now. They work almost year-round, filming and promoting the hit TV show and taking three months to go on tour. Now, a movie based on those live concerts is hitting theaters, just before the cast heads back to set to film the third season.

For the Gleeks out there counting down the days until the movie opens on Friday, MTV News recently caught up with the cast to get the lowdown on the concert film. In the spirit of the musical nature of the show, the movie, and even our own "Glee-caps," we had the very talented and energetic actors give us a quick recap — in song — of what "Glee: The 3D Concert Movie" is all about. (Click the embedded video for the sonic version!)

Lea Michele, Amber Riley, Chris Colfer, Jenna Ushkowitz, Cory Monteith, Dianna Agron, Naya Rivera, Mark Salling, Ashley Fink, Darren Criss, Heather Morris, Kevin McHale and Harry Shum, Jr. were all game. (Hint: It's a movie version of the "Glee" castmates' live concerts, with a few fan testimonials thrown in for warm, fuzzy good measure.)

Simultaneously, Shum Jr., Morris and McHale each sang a snippet of a different song featured in the movie, which made for a curiously melodic moment. Meanwhile, Agron, Monteith and Rivera offered a spot-on re-creation of an a capella interlude heard throughout the Fox show and the film. And Colfer, Riley, Michele and Ushkowitz served up a speedy verbal summary of the "story line."

"Mr. Schue! Jane Lynch!" said Ushkowitz, using very short descriptors to highlight all of the elements rolled into the 88-minute flick. She was then joined by Colfer, Riley and Michele in an entertaining, verbally bulleted hit list of the film's showstopping numbers.

" 'Don't Stop Believin'! 'Dog Days Are Over'! 'Sing'! Solos, duets, choir room, more group numbers," Michele summarized. "Amber, waaaah!" she continued, mimicking Riley's powerful vocals. " 'Encore! 'Single Ladies'."

"Embarrassment, embarrassment," Colfer added, half-performing a few of the moves from his popular version of Beyoncé's hit.

" 'Safety Dance!' 'Somebody to Love' for the ten-thousandth time," the ladies continued. "And ... bow!"

Finally, Criss, Fink and Salling finished things up with a musical summary of their own.

"We went on this tour, we sang all these songs, we met all these fans and it was awesome," recited Fink, as she sat between Criss and Salling.

"It's gonna be in 3-D," Criss added in the same sing-speak tone. "You might see me and a lot of these guys."

Nicole Richie Shares Her Style Secrets with In Touch

nicolerichfash1_wide.jpg
Nicole Richie is having a blast filming her new NBC series Fashion Star, with designer John Varvatos, Jessica Simpson and Elle Macpherson. In fact, she has been spending so much time with her co-stars, they?ve all started dressing alike. ?We all came out onstage wearing the exact same outfit color from head-to-toe,? Nicole tells In Touch. See what else the fashion icon shared with In Touch when we sat down for a one-on-one interview:

Who was your fashion mentor growing up?
Nicole: I would say the person who had the biggest influence on me was my mom. I'm lucky because she actually saved all of her clothes and passed them down to me.

Will you save your clothes for your budding fashionista daughter Harlow?
Nicole: I'm definitely going to try, most of my clothes are vintage and they're already falling apart, so I'm going to try to hold them together as long as I can.

How would you describe your personal style?
Nicole: I like to have fun with fashion.

Are there any celebrities you think have great style?
Nicole: I'm a huge fan of Stevie Nicks.

What are your summer and fall must-haves?
Nicole: My summer must-have is a great vintage headscarf. It's just a great accessory if the hair is not working. My fall must-haves are a very high, classic black pump, a snakeskin clutch, and a good blazer.

Biggest fashion splurge?
Nicole: I wouldn't mind splurging on a bag every once in a while. But I also shop at thrift stores and a lot of my clothes are $5 or $10.

And finally what is the worst trend you ever took part in?
Nicole: When I was 13, I shaved my eyebrows in the shower! I thought I was shaving the middle but when I came out they were gone. My mom got so mad at me, she said, ?What did you do?? I was like, ?Mom, I don't know what happened, they just fell out.? She was like, ?You're going to regret this.? And I did, I had no eyebrows for about a year.

'Twilight' Stars 'Get Excited' About Cooking Together

The "Twilight" cast might be famous for their acting talents, but their secret power is definitely in their culinary abilities.

Ever since Kristen Stewart dished on the BBQ extravaganza she cooked for her co-stars, it's been a bit of an MTV tradition to ask the cast of the five "Twilight Saga" flicks for any food updates in their lives. Ashley Greene opened up to Teen Vogue back in January about how her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas had inspired the foodie inside of her, so when MTV News caught up with the actress at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards, we couldn't resist asking if she is still happily cooking away.

Greene said that she and her costar and offscreen BFF Kellan Lutz became a bit too food-happy once they found out there was a Whole Foods right around the corner from where they were staying while filming "Breaking Dawn." Apparently the duo helped keep the grocery store in business by spending a lot of money during their time there.

"Me and Kellan get excited sometimes, and we're like, 'Let's just buy everything! We're going to cook every night.' Not like we're going to be at work, you know what I mean?" Greene said with a laugh.

She said the two of them made a lot of fish dishes, though she typically sticks to chicken. But Greene was most excited by the times they experimented with new recipes.

"I made my own homemade mojito one time, which was pretty interesting and awesome," Greene admitted. "We made pumpkin soup, which I had never made before. We just got recipes and kind of mixed it up."

Check out everything we've got on "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1."

Nicki Minaj Dishes On 'Ice Age: Continental Drift' Role

'I went in and I had a blast. I did it as two different voices,' Minaj says of her role in the fourth 'Ice Age' movie.

Nicki Minaj is ready to get even more animated than she does in her videos and her colorful stage show. The singer confirmed that she's ready for her cartoon close-up in the latest "Ice Age" flick, "Ice Age: Continental Drift," in which she's set to play one of the many kooky characters alongside folks like Wanda Sykes, Jeremy Renner, Aziz Ansari, Heather Morris and even her pal and fellow MC Drake.

When MTV News caught up with Minaj backstage at the Femme Fatale Tour stop in New Jersey, she opened up about how she ended up in the A-list flick, the fourth in the hit franchise.

"I don't know how much I can talk about that, but I came about that when my agency sent me out on an audition for some people who wanted to hear me," she recalled. "They knew I liked animation, they knew I liked to do voices, and so they said they were doing that so I thought, 'This is amazing.' "

However, getting a part in the film wasn't all that easy for the superstar. "The original role that I was up for I didn't get," she explained. "So I said, 'Oh, OK, whatever.' I was really mad, and the next thing you know, they called me and they said, 'We wrote in a part just for you 'cause we really want you to be a part of this movie.' "

Although she wouldn't divulge which role she plays in the film, Minaj did say that she really put a lot of work into the part, leaving the final voice selection up to the film's producers. "And I just was screaming and so excited, and I went in and I had a blast. I did it as two different voices," she said. "We'll see what happens."

Wow, Kristen Stewart looks a bit different!

Very, very different but also very, very amazing.

The Twilight star has swapped her usual grungy attire for a demure 60?s inspired glamorous look as part of a shoot for W magazine.

We think she should probably dress and style herself like this all the time, it definitely suits her. In fact she looks a little like Lindsay Lohan.

Kristen Stewart Is 'Gorgeous,' Other 'Snow White' Director Says

'Nobody's backed off,' Tarsem tells MTV News of competing 'Snow White' projects.

In one corner of the fairy tale-meets-Hollywood world, there is Kristen Stewart and mighty Universal Pictures. In the other, there is Julia Roberts and upstart Relativity Pictures. Both sides are pushing forward with "Snow White" adaptations. Only one can boast of having, in Stewart, one of the biggest young names in the business.

But the director of the other "Snow White," Tarsem, not only isn't worried, but paid Stewart a high compliment when we caught up with him at San Diego Comic-Con. "She's gorgeous," he told us, adding that he'd only seen her onscreen work in David Fincher's "Panic Room." "She's great."

For his Snow White, Tarsem cast up-and-comer Lily Collins, looping her into a production that has already kicked off and which will hit theaters months ahead of Stewart's in 2012. "For me, when I looked at it, I thought there's only room for one of these," he explained of the two competing films. "And it looks like there's more. Nobody's backed off. I just know that we were ready so much earlier. And thank God for Julia, because when she came in, I got everything my way."

While we have seen photos of Stewart, as well as co-stars Liam Hemsworth and Charlize Theron, in "Snow White and the Huntsman," thus far from Tarsem's film, we've only seen Collins in character. So what type of evil queen will Roberts end up being?

"A mixed-up queen," Tarsem told us. "I don't know how to do for the 'now you shall' kind of person. For me, [it's] the personality of a person who looks into the mirror and does all the evil deeds she needs to do. Like serial killers, you outsource your evil: The devil made me do it or I hear voices. It's kind of one of those people. She does what she does, but she thinks it comes from a place where the person in the mirror tells it to her."

'Dirty Dancing' Remake A 'Big Challenge,' Director Says

'I hope we can bring something unique and original to help change the naysayers' minds about the film,' Kenny Ortega tells 'The Insider.'
By Terri Schwartz

Kenny Ortega has been tasked with remaking the 1987 classic "Dirty Dancing," and he knows you aren't happy about it.

The announcement earlier this week was met with seemingly universal backlash, especially in MTV News' comment section. Commenter lisha.16 lashed out against Hollywood's continued dependence on remakes, while Valerie Anne Devine pointed out that "Dirty Dancing" is "not broken therefore does not require a makeover."

In an interview with "The Insider," Ortega said he was initially in the same boat.

"Saying yes to this project was a really tough decision for me, and one that I wrestled with for a long time," said the "This Is It" director, who was a choreographer on the original "Dirty Dancing." "I had to be won over too."

So far, there's no script or casting ideas set, just the idea to remake the movie first made famous by Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. But "Dirty Dancing" is no stranger to reinvention. The movie inspired a successful Broadway musical as well as the 2004 box-office flop "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights." Ortega said his first step in creating this remake is to not try to top anything the original movie did.

"We have a big challenge and a long road ahead of us," Ortega said. "All I can say is that I hope we can bring something unique and original to help change the naysayers' minds about the film."

That starts with not trying to find a way to replace Swayze and Grey. "They're one of a kind, and they deserve to be called that," he said. Ortega said he has been impressed with "So You Think You Can Dance" finalist Melanie Moore's skills and told her live on the air that she has a role waiting for her in the film if she wants it. He also said that he would love to find a role for Grey in the remake if she'd want to be part of it. As for who should play male lead Johnny Castle, MTV's Hollywood Crush blog suggested Ryan Gosling could be a pretty good choice.

Ortega is no stranger to fans rebelling against remakes of '80s dance flicks. He was originally attached to direct the upcoming "Footloose" remake before dropping out because he didn't like the tone Paramount wanted for their modernized take. It will be interesting to see whether Ortega's "Dirty Dancing" also gets updated to the present day with current popular dancing or if it maintains the 1960s setting and styles that the original had.

It?s not particularly fancy, it?s not even a even very exciting but for some reason we really like Nicola Robert?s video for her song Lucky Day.

It was filmed in New York and sees Nicola dance around the streets while lots of funny, coloured light effects pop up behind her.

We?re not describing it very well are we? Just watch the video for yourselves to see what we mean.

Wow, Kristen Stewart looks a bit different!

Very, very different but also very, very amazing.

The Twilight star has swapped her usual grungy attire for a demure 60?s inspired glamorous look as part of a shoot for W magazine.

We think she should probably dress and style herself like this all the time, it definitely suits her. In fact she looks a little like Lindsay Lohan.

That was meant to be a compliment, in retrospect it wasn?t a particularly good one.

Rihanna Opens Up About Her 'Battleship' Role

'I didn't know what I was doing,' she says of first foray into acting.
By Jocelyn Vena

Rihanna certainly knows a thing or two about military couture; anyone who has seen her "Hard" video knows that. But in "Battleship," her fatigues are anything but high-end. In a chat with UGO.com, the singer opens up about her butt-kicking role as Raikes, saying that her character knows nothing about the glamorous things in life, only the dangerous things.

"It's really cool, it's easy. You don't have to think about what you want to put on, or how cute you look," she says of wearing the uniform in the Peter Berg-directed action flick. "She doesn't like boys. She doesn't like girls either. She's just about her weapons and her work."

Rihanna has always had a tough-girl persona, so when it came time to make her film debut, she knew that this girl was the right one to play. And she made sure she did her research. "We worked with real military people, you know, people in the Navy, people who have fought in Iraq before. They pretty much came and drilled me. This one man, Donald, he pretty much drilled me, yelled at me, cursed me, 'Ow!' Made me do pushups. Everything," she recalled. "Like, my best friend was there the second time we worked together, and I said to her, 'OK, I'm about to do acting class, but you're going to want to kill this man, so just stay in the bedroom. Don't listen to anything he's saying to me right now, just don't kill him, Melissa, just stay in the bedroom.'

"And I remember she just kept walking around, and she would just glance at me, 'Are you OK? Did he just say 'f--- you' to you?' But I mean, it really got you in the mentality, that's the things they really go through, you know, when they first sign up," she continued. "It's not a walk in the park."

Her first encounter with Berg was equally jarring — Rihanna describes the sequence of events as "weird." "And [Peter Berg] just walked out and said, 'Hi, come in,' and I'm like, 'Where is Christa, my manager? Where is my manager?' She wasn't there, and I walked in and all I saw were these little alien mock-ups, these little dolls. And he just started saying, 'Yeah, these are the thugs, he's a thug,' " she said of the meeting. "I laughed and then I realized that he wasn't laughing, and I was like, 'This is weird. Why are there pictures of aliens all over this room?'

"And it was just crazy because he was just really super enthusiastic about it, and he was so sure that I could pull it off and I didn't even know that he was the director of the film, I didn't know anything," she added. "I didn't know what I was doing, where I was going, why."

Is Jennifer Love Hewitt Obsessed With The Bachelorette?

5.jpg
It may seem odd that unlucky-in-love Jennifer Love Hewitt is now dating ABC?s The Bachelorette cast-off Ben Flajnik ? but considering her history of random connections to the show, these two actually make perfect sense as a couple.

This is not the first time the former Party of Five actress? name has been used in conjunction with the hit reality series. Last June, when Jennifer was single, she was spotted hanging out with former Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky. The two had a girls' night at Hamburger Mary?s and played bingo in West Hollywood.

And right around the same time she was palling around with Ali, there was talk of Jennifer becoming be the next Bachelorette contestant herself. Those rumors were eventually shot down, but no matter ? J. Love was able to get a date with a Bachelorette contestant without even having to go on the show.

Last week, the 31-year-old self-described "hopeless romantic" went public with her new man. On August 2, she tweeted "OMG! Ben F my final rose," during the finale of The Bachelorette, "joking" that she was going to "book a flight to Sonoma." By August 6, fans realized this was no joke. She was spotted in a full-on lip-lock with Ashley Hebert?s rejected winemaker while having dinner at the Lion Pub in San Francisco.

Ben, 28, may be in luck this time ? it?s doubtful Jennifer would ever reject his proposal. After all, she?s made no secret of the fact that she?s already picked out engagement rings and baby names. Let?s hope The Bachelor-obsessed star didn?t put J.P. or Ashley at the top of that list!

'Harry Potter' Director, Writer To Adapt 'The Stand'

Director David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves are 'the right team' to bring Stephen King's novel to the screen, expert tells MTV News.
By Terri Schwartz, with reporting by Josh Wigler

Hot off the success of the "Harry Potter" franchise, director David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves are teaming up again to adapt another major literary property: Stephen King's "The Stand," for Warner Bros.

For the uninitiated, "The Stand" is a post-apocalyptic novel that follows a group of survivors after 99.4 percent of the human race is wiped out by the effects of a biological weapon. The remaining survivors break off into two camps, one based in Boulder, Colorado, which represents good, and the other in Las Vegas, which represents evil. The two camps eventually face off in a stand that determines the future of mankind.

When it comes to bringing a beloved novel to the big screen, Yates and Kloves certainly seem like the go-to pair, but "The Stand" is a different beast than "Harry Potter" in many ways. For one, the adult-oriented material is much darker than "Potter." Drew McWeeny of HitFix, who broke the news, told MTV News he thinks the way Yates and Kloves treated the darker aspects of the "Potter" movies is a mark in their favor as they gear up for the "Stand" collaboration.

"I think they've demonstrated as a team that they are capable of making extreme darkness palatable and ably depicting the struggle between good and evil," McWeeny said. "It might not have been the first team I thought of to adapt that book, but it's a damn good team."

MTV Movies Blog editor and "The Stand" fan Josh Wigler doesn't think the movie can be made with anything less than an R rating. Similarly, McWeeny said the film won't be an easy project for Warner Bros. to move through the studio.

When McWeeny first broke the story, he said it didn't make sense to bring "The Stand" to the screen again if it didn't expand upon the 1994 TV miniseries — and he offered that the new element should be the very disturbing material that made the novel a hit.

The novel, which features a massive cast of characters, is divided into three "books," and the assumption is that Yates and Kloves wouldn't attempt to adapt the story into just one movie. The larger question is whether Warner Bros. would make two movies or a trilogy out of "The Stand." McWeeny thinks it could go either way.

"I've been hearing that three is the magic number, creatively, and they want a trilogy," he said. "[But] two films may just make better economic sense for them. I do think there's a way to pull it off in two films, but that's when you really start cutting this to the bone and that may not be best for the story itself."

With Universal having passed on Ron Howard's ambitious attempt to adapt another King classic, "The Dark Tower," it seems fair to presume that Yates and Kloves may worry about making "The Stand" too big. But there are many elements of "The Stand" that make it more adaptable than "Dark Tower" ever was, McWeeny said.

"Even though ['The Stand' is] very big and has a ton of characters, there is a much more linear storytelling shape, and a simple film trilogy is something that Hollywood understands," he explained. "Coming off the final 'Potter' film, I think Yates and Kloves are the right team to get almost anything made."

Valuable items stolen from Amy Winehouse?s home?

Mitch Winehouse has vowed to track down the person who stole valuable items from his daughter?s home shortly after she died.

Amy?s father said a whole load of personal possessions including copies of unreleased tracks, her favourite guitar, lyric books and letters, have all disappeared since she died and only 20 people have had access her home.

Those people include family, friends, security and police.

Mitch is quite understandably ?furious? but a source revealed he?s going to ?give whoever has stolen the items a chance to do the right thing and put them back so it doesn?t have to get messy,? but if they fail to do so he won?t hesitate to involve the police.

Secrets of Bachelor Pad 2

vienjake1_wide.jpg
If you thought The Bachelorette was full of drama, just wait for the Bachelor Pad 2! Last season?s winner David Good believes this is the season to watch. "There is going to be a lot more drama," he tells In Touch. With a prize of $250,000, the house full of hotties from seasons past seems more interested in the fights and hookups.

The most bitter exes to be under one roof will be former Bachelor Jake Pavelka and his jilted ex-fianc�e Vienna Girardi. "Jake is not popular and Vienna is a train wreck," a show insider reveals. Fireworks explode as they are reunited and Jake is faced with Vienna's new boyfriend, Kasey Kahl. "Jake tried a truce with his ex, but in the end Vienna and Kasey were the driving forces sending the Bachelor home early."

The other formerly engaged couple - Mike Stagliano and Holly Durst - put their recent split aside and partner up on the show. Although Holly is hooking up with Blake Julian, Mike "handles it maturely" - unlike Jake. "He would have her back even if they were bickering, but Holly will just do anything for the money," says a source. In the end, taking a gamble and partnering up pays off - they make it really far!

It may seem like these love triangles are the teams to beat, but the power couple to watch will be Michelle Money and Graham Bunn. "Michelle is the biggest competition," says David. Sticking to her word and standing up for teammates ends up helping Michelle out. ?She uses her looks to manipulate guys to do what she wants," according to an insider. Her partner seems to not mind. ?She isn't hard to look at - I couldn't have asked for a better partner!" Graham tells In Touch. Looks like their good looks may just lead them to the final prize!
