The weather forecast looks great for Hollywood this weekend.

is primed and ready to make it rain at the box office. Industry watchers predict an opening weekend in the neighborhood of at least $30 million for the big-budget Old Testament epic, which stars Russell Crowe in the title role.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's third action vehicle since returning to movies, doesn't stand a chance against the storm.

"Noah" pairs Crowe with acclaimed filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, the Academy Award-nominated writer/director behind "Black Swan," "The Wrestler" and "Requiem for a Dream." Early screenings for evangelicals elicited mixed reactions, with many praising the film's dramatic scope while others bristled against the liberties taken with the (albeit very short) story found in the Bible.

Reviewers, from Drew McWeeny at HitFix to Ray Subers at Box Office Mojo, pointed out that the kind of cultural conversation led by "Noah" should help propel box-office success. "Noah" floated on a 76 percent Rotten Tomatoes score on Friday (March 28).

The third time is unlikely to be the charm for action-movie legend Arnold Schwarzenegger — those first two starring vehicles since leaving office as California's governor were box-office bombs. "Sabotage," a gritty drug-enforcement tale from "End of Watch" writer/director and "Training Day" writer David Ayer, isn't likely to make more than $10 million this weekend.

"The Last Stand" opened with $6.2 million last January. "Escape Plan" followed suit in October with $9.8 million. To be fair, "Escape Plan" (which costarred Schwarzenegger's old friend and Planet Hollywood partner Sylvester Stallone) made $137.3 million around the world. With supporting performances from ...

March Madness is reaching its end, which means one thing: Baseball season begins!

Opening day is a cherished American tradition. There's almost nothing better than the smell of fresh-cut grass and the crack of the bat, which both signal that spring is finally here.

Well, there is one thing better: staying in and watching movies and TV &#8212 especially if you're watching MTV's premiering April 1. But don't worry: There's no need to miss out on the thrill of seeing your favorite baseball players. That's due to the second-best American tradition: cameos by famous athletes.

We've compiled 11 of the best cameos by baseball players on TV and film. So stay in, lean back, and watch your favorite baseball players pop up in movies and shows where you would least expect them.

Keith Hernandez In "Seinfeld"
While most cameos are one-and-done, Keith Hernandez's role on "Seinfeld" ups the ante, as he's given an entire arc. Not only does he become best friends with Jerry and date Elaine, but he is part of a long-standing feud with Kramer and Newman, who think he spit on them during a game, resulting in a JFK-conspiracy-theory parody that's as great as anything ever. "There must have been a second spitter!"

Reggie Jackson In "The Naked Gun"/ "Benchwarmers"/ "BASEketball"
Who would've thought that Reggie Jackson, starter of too many baseball feuds to count in the '70s, would turn into the epitome of a good-natured, humorous elder statesman? Jackson has appeared in numerous comedies in hilarious roles, though I'd say the most memorable is "Naked Gun," in which he and plenty ...

Christina Aguilera and her fiancé Matthew Rutler will welcome a girl to the family this year.

Rumors began to swirl in late February that the "Voice" coach was pregnant, and E! Online has confirmed that the 33-year-old pop star is expecting a baby girl.

Aguilera and Rutler began dating after they met on the set of "Burlesque" in 2010, and on Valentine's Day she announced that they were officially engaged. "He asked and I said...,"Aguilera tweeted, along with a photo of the ring on her finger.

The "Genie in a Bottle" singer was previously married to Jordan Bratman, and is already a mom to 6-year-old Max Liron. She began to date Rutler, a former production assistant, while finalizing her divorce from Bratman and the couple currently lives together in Los Angeles.

"We had a really strong friendship on the movie. He's the kind of person you could spend hours on the phone talking to and all of a sudden it's daylight," she said about Rutler in 2010 "There's a love there, yes. I'm having fun, I'm dating and it's something I haven't had in a really long time."

After missing his hyped hotel DJ gig Thursday night due to an undisclosed incident that sent him to a Miami Beach hospital
, superstar DJ Avicii is still on the mend.

Contrary to earlier reports that said he'd been discharged, a source close to the 24-year-old Swedish DJ (born Tim Bergling), told Billboard on Friday (March 28), that Avicii is still under a doctor's care at the hospital. Avicii was slated to play a show at SLS South Beach in Miami Beach, but canceled shortly before taking the stage.

Less than an hour before Avicii was to perform, Australian DJ duo Cazzette informed the crowd that Bergling had been taken to the hospital. The source told Billboard that Avicii is "doing better" and that he's "going to be fine."

In a since-deleted tweet, Avicci wrote, "At the hospital ... Extremely bummed about missing my show at the Avicii Hotel. My brother @Alesso is stepping up and covering for me."

The Thursday gig was going to be the second in a planned five-show series at the hotel, which had been rebranded in the DJ's honor as part of his Avicii Hotel series. Avicii is also scheduled to play a Saturday night headlining gig at Miami's Ultra Music Festival, but at press time it was unknown if he would be discharged in time to make that show.

A spokesperson for Avicii could no be reached for comment at press time. Avicii wasn't the only DJ ailing on Thursday, as Afrojack alerted his followers that he was also in a local hospital to, "prevent an ...

It should be a simple question to answer: when is Batman's birthday? Given that the hero is celebrating his 75th anniversary this year, we can trace the timeline pretty clearly to 1939. But after that, things get dicey. Here's a breakdown of every day you can celebrate the dawn of the Dark Knight:

March 30
DC Comics has officially announced their nearly yearlong festivities for the caped crusader kick off on Sunday, March 30. But why March 30? Here's an official statement sent to us from DC Entertainment on the subject:

"Based on copyright data from the Library of Congress, DC Entertainment recognizes that the world's most popular Super Hero — Batman — was first introduced to the public 75 years ago on March 30, 1939 in Detective Comics #27.

As is still common practice for publications to become available prior to their actual issue date, the Bat-Man (as he was then known) first appeared in the May 1939 issue of Detective Comics #27, which hit stands on March 30, 1939."

Don't believe our source at DC? Here's the Library of Congress listing for the issue:

As Batman always says, "Case closed!" He never says that.

We previously ran down a number of the anniversary's events during our "Year of Batman" review, but fans can add in a special commemorative logo, giveaways and more to the aforementioned list of movies, animated releases and comics. You can check out the full list of official festivities here.

It's been nearly a decade since director Darren Aronofsky first announced plans for his own take of the biblical myth of "

"The day we cast Russell Crowe, it all changed," Aronofsky told MTV News during the L.A. Junket for the movie. "You start with an artist like Russell and they're going to bring so much to it."

Crowe stars as the title character, a good man on a ravaged proto-Earth who receives a divine message that a terrible flood is on the way. Beyond the bible story basics, Aronofsky's version has a tinge of the fantastic, with stone angels, armies of armor-clad marauders, and magic.

For the director, it was a chance to reclaim some of the elements of Noah's oft-told story that may have been smoothed out over years of retelling.

"I think the Noah story has very much been co-opted into this parable for kids about Noah and the animals and an old man with a white beard," Aronofsky said. "But if you look at the actual story, it's not a kids' story at all, it's the first apocalypse story — it's about the end of the world." For the director, it's a story about destroying "the thing you love most in the world" — whether it's the film's unseen creator sending a great flood to wipe out humanity, or a late-film turn where Noah questions whether he and his family will even be allowed to survive. "It's about justice," Aronofsky explained. "And over the course of the film, mercy and grace are learned. And that's very much ...

Are you one of those people who signed up for Tinder hoping to catch Lindsay Lohan's attention? Well, better think of a different way to do it, because as it turns out, Lohan won't be swiping right to "like" anytime soon, since she's technically never used the dating app.

"You know what is so funny?" she asked Ellen DeGeneres during her appearance on Ellen's show, which airs Monday. "My brother went on my Instagram and did that. ... I've never been on Tinder," she said, referencing last year's Instagram post that revealed her brother's profile pic.

And it doesn't seem like the "Mean Girls" star will be downloading it anytime soon. "I'm OK with just taking care of me. I just want to work and take care of me right now. I don't really ... That's not even a thought."

Instead of dating, Lohan is now focusing her energy on her OWN docuseries, which follows the troubled actress as she attempts to change her life after an ongoing cycle of substance abuse.

"When I went to treatment this time, when I went to Cliffside, I really wanted a moment for myself, and I learned a lot of different tools and things that I didn't in the past. In the past, a lot of people don't know this, but I was sent to rehab to avoid, you know, them trying to put me in jail. So it wasn't something that I necessarily wanted or was ready for. It was something that it was kind of just going with ...

When Lady Gaga kicks off her run of Roseland Ballroom shows on Friday (March 28) night, there will be a definite sense of duality to the proceedings.

On one hand, the residency — she's doing seven shows in total — represents the beginning of something much bigger: the lead up to her ARTPOP Ball tour. On the other, it symbolizes the end of an era ... she'll be the last artist to take the stage at the legendary NYC venue, which has operated in the city since 1919.

Needless to say, it's going to be an interesting night; and as I count down the hours until she takes the stage, here's what I'm expecting from Gaga's sure-to-be-remembered Roseland shows.

Even more ARTPOP

At her SXSW show earlier this month, Gaga played seven tracks off her most recent album — none of which was her latest single, "G.U.Y." Of course, given that she just released a thoroughly over-the-top video for the song, I'm pretty sure I'll be hearing it on Friday night.

Will other standouts like "Venus," "Fashion!" and — please, oh please — "Do What U Want" (with bonus R. Kelly cameo!) make the cut? It would make sense, considering these shows are a dry-run for the Ball. Also, will she continue the trend she started at SXSW and largely refrain from playing her hits? I can't imagine she won't grace the crowd with "Poker Face" or "Just Dance" ... her Little Monsters might riot.
