‘Virgin Territory’ Will Explore The Pressures To Keep — Or Swipe — The V-Card

by 06/02/14

Having sex, especially for the first time, is a matter of personal preference: For some people, with the proper precautions considered, it’s not such a big deal. For others, the act carries a pretty remarkable weight. This summer, MTV will follow 15 young adults with one thing in common — they’re virgins — and whether they’re trying to lose their V-cards, or keep them safely tucked in their pockets for as long as possible, being pure is really starting to grate on them.

In this trailer for new docu-series “Virgin Territory,” you’ll get an early look at the struggles of celibacy — intentional or otherwise. Some of the show’s features feel obligations to stay chaste for their churches, some want to remain abstinent until marriage and, on the other end of things, some are ready to finally take the leap into officially being sexually active.

Four young adults will share their stories in each episode, and on the premiere, you’ll get acquainted with Dominque, Kyle, Lisa and Mikaela. Lisa and Dominique both intend to keep their purity rings fastened on tightly until they say “I do,” while Kyle and Mikaela are ready to leave their virginal selves behind…as long as they find the right partners first.

“MTV has a legacy of documenting the lives of young adults and openly talking about sex with thought-provoking programming such as ‘True Life,’ ‘16 and Pregnant’ and ‘Teen Mom,’” said Lauren Dolgen, MTV’s EVP of Series Development & Head of West Coast ...

7 Reasons Why You Need To Follow Ansel Elgort On Instagram Right Now

by 06/02/14

If you’re not already familiar with the six-foot-four bundle of adorable that is Ansel Elgort, you will be on Friday (June 6) when his romantic tearjerker “The Fault In Our Stars” hits theaters. Elgort plays teen cancer patient Augustus Waters in the film, and his doomed romance with fellow patient Hazel Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) is so devastatingly moving that there is literally no doubt in our minds that Elgort will be the breakout star of the summer — and the best part about it is, he’s taking all of his fans along for the ride.

Celebrities sharing the intimate details of their lives on Instagram is nothing new, but Elgort’s social media presence has an air of excitement to it that makes him an absolute must-follow. He’s a relatively normal guy standing at the brink of massive commercial success, and his, “I can’t believe this is happening,” down-to-earth attitude is adorable and infectious. (He’s also very attractive, which helps.)

Still not sold on Team Elgort? Well, scroll down for the definitive proof that Elgort is the Instagram follow of the summer. We will not say “I told you so.”

1. He’s poised for mega-stardom, but still finds time to hang with his normal best friends.

What Do The ‘Avatar’ Sequels Have In Common With ‘Breaking Bad’?

by 06/02/14

The three “Avatar” sequels that James Cameron intends to film simultaneously are obviously monumental tasks unto themselves, but there’s even more to making them possible than shooting them back-to-back-to-back.

As Cameron explained to the Hero Complex Film Festival (as transcribed by /Film), the project required three studio approved scripts, which is why he took an entirely different approach to writing the next adventures on Pandora.

When the director announced his plans to film all three movies at once, the news came with a team of writers — Josh Friedman, Rick Jaff and Amanda Silver, and Shane Salerno — that would each take on co-writing duties with Cameron on one of the planned films.

What we didn’t know was that when he was developing the stories with the writers, Cameron didn’t clue them in on which specific film they’d work on, instead keeping everyone in the dark and creating a “highly collaborative, fun experience” like a television writers’ room. This is essentially how Vince Gilligan worked through “Breaking Bad.” He was the keeper of the keys but worked closely with a team of writers to refine the story, before handing off individual episode scripts to specific scribes.

“What we did that was unique was we sat in the writing room for five months, eight hours a day, and we worked out every beat of the story across all three films so it all connects as one, sort of, three film saga,” Cameron said. “And I didn’t tell them which one ...

Shailene Woodley & Ansel Elgort Give Into Love In Charli XCX’s Dreamy ‘Boom Clap’ Video

by 06/02/14

You know what it’s like to fall hard for someone (or something, like John Green’s “The Fault In Our Stars”?) The helium-high vibes, that floating feeling, all that aimless wandering and smiling at anyone regardless of whether you know them — Charli XCX channels all of that and some must-see moments of Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort as “The Fault In Our Stars”‘ star-crossed teenaged lovers Hazel and Gus in her new video for “Boom Clap.”

The Sing J. Lee-directed clip takes the viewer on a gorgeous, blissed-out stroll through the Amsterdam city, following the “SuperLove” singer over rivers, under bridges, into a junkyard, through a carnival, and into the back of an LED-equipped van.

“Boom Clap” is featured on the “Fault In Our Stars” film adaptation’s soundtrack — along with Ed Sheeran‘s “All Of The Stars” and Lykke Li‘s “No One Has Ever Loved.”

Despite Charli’s heart radiating onomatopoeia, she walks the Dutch city alone, which is fine considering Gus and Hazel’s love is almost too much to bear.

Charli XCX’s uplifting “Boom Clap” celebrates Hazel and Gus the way they should be enjoyed — forever young and forever in love.

How Did That Mind-Blowing ‘Game Of Thrones’ Duel Play Out In The Books?

by 06/02/14

Warning: Major spoilers from last night’s “Game of Thrones,” and potential spoilers for future episodes, are ahead!

On last night’s “Game of Thrones,” titled “The Mountain and the Viper,” one of the season’s most exciting plot threads came to a violent end.

Oberyn Martell, the Red Viper of Dorne, came to King’s Landing in the first episode of season four to attend Joffrey Baratheon’s royal wedding. But he nursed a not-so-secret vendetta against the entire Lannister family for their role in the murder of Oberyn’s sister Elia, wife of Rhaegar Targaryen. Specifically, Oberyn wanted justice against Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane, the man who raped Elia, murdered her, and killed her children.

With Tyrion framed for killing King Joffrey, the Red Viper took it upon himself to defend the Imp in trial by combat against a champion of Cersei Lannister’s choosing. That champion just so happened to be The Mountain — the man that Oberyn came to King’s Landing to kill.

Unfortunately for Oberyn, and just as unfortunately for Tyrion, the Red Viper was not successful, to put it gently. The Mountain crushed Oberyn’s head in his hands like an overripe fruit, ending one of the season’s best characters with a “sickening crunch.”

It was one of the most gruesome scenes “Game of Thrones” has offered up thus far. But how does it compare to Oberyn’s death in the books? Let’s take a look.

Oberyn enters the picture in the third book in the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, titled “A ...

Miley Cyrus Got Robbed, Again

by 06/02/14

While Miley Cyrus is busy touring overseas and freestyling about her DJ on private planes, there was some bad news on the home front for the “Wrecking Ball” star. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, Cyrus’ North Hollywood home was hit by burglars on Friday.

CNN reported that thieves scaled a fence and reportedly broke into Miley’s house and made off with some jewelry and other property, as well as Miley’s $102,000 2014 Maserati Quattroporte. While no arrests had been made at press time, police said the suspects were a man and a woman. This is the second time in eight months that Miley’s home has been targeted by thieves.

The Best Sex Advice One Teen Amputee Got From ‘The Fault In Our Stars’

by 06/02/14

It goes without saying that “The Fault in Our Stars” is a heartbreaking, poignant, incredible movie that will rip your heart right out of your chest — just like that one guy did to that other guy in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” — and leave you lying on the floor in a puddle of feelings, forever. But it isn’t only that!

As it turns out, the film is also an unlikely sex education resource that contains at least one piece of useful and necessary advice for aspiring uniped Casanovas about just what to do with your prosthesis when things start getting steamy.

“The Fault in Our Stars” screened at BookCon this weekend, with audience members staying afterward for a presentation with some of the filmmakers, including Nat Wolff, Josh Boone, and John Green. And according to a report from Entertainment Weekly, when the floor opened up for questions, one young man took the opportunity to thank the author of the book for giving him an answer to this pressing personal issue. (Note: Mild spoilers for the film’s very PG-13 sex scene ahead.)

“As an amputee myself, I just wanted to say thank you, John, for answering a lifelong question of mine, which is: whether, during sex, to keep my leg on or off,” he said.

The comment earned a chorus of delighted squeals from everyone present, as well as a hug from Green himself. And for those who want to make amore in the manner of Augustus Waters, consider this ...

‘Star Wars’ First Look: What The Force Is Happening On The ‘Episode VII’ Set?

by 06/02/14

Filming is underway on “Star Wars: Episode VII,” but don’t expect J.J. Abrams and Disney to fully open the mystery box until a little further down the line.

But even if we’re still a while away from official trailers and stills from the film, it’s very much the season for sneak peeks from the set of the new “Star Wars” movie. TMZ has posted an extensive photo gallery from the film’s shoot in Abu Dhabi, a location that many assume will double for Tatooine.

The TMZ photos include a first look at a massive four-legged alien creature that looks like a cross between a rhinoceros, a pig and a bulldog. According to the outlet, the creature was used in two scenes and was operated using “five men inside its belly” — a testament to the new “Star Wars” film’s reliance on practical effects wherever possible.

Other photos even show what appear to be remnants of a pod-racer, popularized in the first episode of the prequel trilogy, “The Phantom Menace.” Looks like all areas of the “Star Wars” movie universe are alive and accounted for in “Episode VII.”

Click over to TMZ to check out the alien and a whole lot more.

“Star Wars: Episode VII” opens on December 18, 2015.

What Is Khloe Kardashian Doing In This Picture?

by 06/02/14

Are Khloe Kardshian and French Montana the new Bonnie and Clyde?

The couple certainly look the part in a photo posted by Khloe early Monday morning (June 2) in which she’s swigging from a champagne bottle while wearing shades and French is holding a machine gun across his lap. The photo’s caption reads “About to go gucci maaannnnnn. #MovieSet #JustDifferent @frenchmontana,” which could be a reference to the pair being on the set of DJ Khaled’s Miami-based video shoot for “They Don’t Love You No More.” (In which case it’s pretty safe to assume the gun is a prop.)

French also posted the pic, but his caption read “bangbang.”

Here are a few more pictures from the shoot.

Some fans were angry about the snap, with one writing, “Such a disappointment. You were so fabulous. ‘Hood’ isn’t cute. C’mom khloe, you were the only kardashian who seemed to be so cool and down to earth. Smh.” Another said “Take this picture down u f—ing idiot.”
