With Chloë Grace Moretz already in place as its heroine, “The 5th Wave” was always going to need a few good men to share the screen — and fight the aliens — alongside her. And according to Moretz herself, the search is now underway for the two most important of said men: the mysterious, traumatized soldier named Zombie, and the hunky survivalist loner Evan Walker.

A tweet from the actress confirmed that she’d spent a few days in New York while the search for her co-stars kicked into gear, and advised fans to start getting stoked right now for what might be an imminent casting announcement.

This is the first hint of movement on “The 5th Wave” since Moretz was cast back in April, and there’s been surprisingly little buzz about who else the producers are eyeing, which could mean this movie is setting up some relatively unknown actors to land career-making roles. But until we hear more, the field is still wide open for fantasy casting. Below, our preferred picks.

Landon Liboiron as Evan Walker
After catching our attention as a lonely gypsy werewolf on Netflix’s “Hemlock Grove,” Landon would be a great pick to play the tough, lonely Evan: a guy who’s savvy enough to survive the alien apocalypse, and hot enough to throw our heroine off her guard.

Connor Jessup as Zombie
If you’ve read the book, you know that “Zombie” isn’t this character’s real name — and that he’s got a complicated history with another major character. (If you ...

Despite all of her teasing, we’re almost sure that Nicki Minaj will never actually marry Drake, and since they know each other so well, she’s the perfect girl to give some advice on dating him.

During an interview with Capital Xtra, Nicki gave a couple of tips on snagging Drake, and pretty much admitted that she would never seriously date another artist. Any quotes you’ve seen about her calling him the “perfect man”? Well, she doesn’t quite remember saying that.

“I don’t remember saying that he’s a perfect man — maybe I was joking? He is perfect but I don’t know about guys in the industry. I don’t know about other artists. I think two artists [dating] that’s hard,” she said.

Well, for all the other ladies out there who would be interested in dating Drake, what’s the game plan?

“I think what works with Drake is if you act like you don’t like him,” Nicki said, jokingly adding, “Be horrible to him and then you’ll get [his attention].”

“I’m kidding. I think he likes intellectual women actually. He likes fat asses but I think he [also] likes a girl who can hold a conversation.”

And can we expect a Drake feature on her upcoming album The Pink Print?

“I’m a massive fan of him too, and I think that we’ll definitely have [a collaboration] on there. We’re supposed to meet up this week to get some stuff cracking in the studio. But I think there’ll be another feature on ...

A Jennifer Lopez Biopic? Just A Thought
“Ain’t it funny” that J. Lo would want Selena Gomez to play her in a biopic? Remember Lopez portrayed mid-’90s Tejano pop sensation Selena in a film of the same name?

You Should Probably Thank Marky Mark
“Transformers: Age Of Extinction” director Michael Bay almost did not make this fourth film in the franchise, but Mark Wahlberg persuaded him against that decision. Bay made another movie called “Pain and Gain,” and Wahlberg who starred in it said to him, “I’d love to do a Transformers movie with you.” The rest is history.

Cue the “I can’t evens” and the “OMFGs.” Taylor Swift has posted a new video of Olivia Benson (her new kitten, for those strange folk out there who don’t know who that is).

In the clip, we see lil’ Olivia hanging upside-down in Tay’s arms, just snoozin’ on a plane. Swift seems a little in disbelief.

“I don’t even know how this is happening,” she said. “But it’s happening. She’s a really aggressive sleeper.”

Fans responded similarly: “Soo good XD XD XD,” “So much love for this!” and “omg that is the cutest!” One fans said she missed Meredith.

Don’t worry Swifties, Meredith is probably up in first class sipping on unpasteurized sheep’s milk.

Demi Lovato had some sensible tweets for the paparazzi on Monday night, elaborating on the age-old Golden Rule. Basically, be nice to me, and I’ll be nice to you.

The singer, who just released a teaser for her “Really Don’t Care” video (out Thursday), apologized to her fans for not being able to greet them.

After departing some wisdom on “staying strong,” she retweeted a supportive fan, who tugged on heartstrings with a childhood photo of Demi.

“Transformers: Age of Extinction” hits theaters this weekend, but it almost didn’t exist at all.

For one, Michael Bay, returning to the franchise for his fourth time as director, nearly passed on the project. After the last film, “Dark of the Moon,” Bay was outspoken about his desire to move on from the world of Optimus Prime. He even went ahead and made “Pain and Gain” starring Mark Wahlberg, a much smaller film in comparison to the “Transformers” series. Working with Wahlberg on “Pain and Gain” ultimately led right back to the robots in disguise Bay was trying to move away from.

“I wasn’t sure I was going to do ['Age of Extinction'], and then Mark, while we were doing ‘Pain and Gain,’ said, ‘I’d love to do a Transformers movie with you,’” Bay told MTV at the “Transformers” premiere in Hong Kong last week. “And I thought, ‘That’s a good idea.’”

The more Bay thought about it, the more he realized it made sense to return to “Transformers” for at least one more film, especially because it was intended to reboot the series and move away from the Shia LaBeouf era.

“I figured that some director is going to have to come in and redesign the entire franchise, recast it, and it would be a nightmare for someone who doesn’t know it like the back of their hand,” said Bay. “That’s so much work. Two years to redesign every character and come up with ...

50 Cent has released a video for all 11 tracks on his album Animal Ambition, which dropped earlier this month. So it’s only right that the newly independent artist comes with a visual for one of the project’s bonus cuts, too.

That’s exactly what he’s done with the release of his latest video, “U Know,” which premiered on MTV on Tuesday (June 24). The Eif Rivera-directed spot finds Fif getting his World Famous Rapper on: posing in front of an expensive sports car, surrounded by beautiful women.

And when he’s not in World Famous Rapper mode (when he is, too), 50 is often in troll mode. Don’t believe us? Let him explain.

Director Matt Reeves knows a thing or two about terror.

As the filmmaker responsible for “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” and its untitled sequel, Reeves is in the thick of adapting one of his all-time favorite franchises for a mainstream audience with high expectations. The situation he’s found himself in is not unlike the situation that his longtime friend and colleague J.J. Abrams is in now with “Star Wars: Episode VII” — but if Abrams is anything like Reeves, fans can expect the director’s fear of the galaxy far, far away to yield some incredible results.

“I will say this: I haven’t seen him this excited or this nervous in a very long time,” Reeves told MTV’s Josh Horowitz during the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “And when he gets that level of fear, it means he’s about to do something exciting.”

Reeves knows about Abrams’ process from experience, having worked with the filmmaker on “Cloverfield” and the TV series “Felicity.” And while he only knows the plot of Abrams’ upcoming “Star Wars” movie in the “vaguest” sense, Reeves can very much imagine what it must be like to be the pilot of the proverbial Millennium Falcon.

“That was such an important film for me as a kid,” said Reeves. “What must he be thinking, to be in that world? What a weird thing it must be to be in that world of films. It’s so crazy.”

“Dawn of the Planet of ...
