Turn away, Kristen Stewart! You really don't wanna see this.

In Bel Ami, Robert Pattinson takes on a role that is as far away from Edward Cullen as one can get. He portrays Georges Duroy in this October release, a ruthless social climber who pretty much beds every wealthy woman he meets, from Uma Thurman to Christina Ricci.

The film is based on a novel and, as the following stills from it prove, if Pattinson sometimes thinks Edward is a p-ssy, it's clear in this movie that his character simply likes... nevermind.

MTV has given fans their very first look at Jennifer Lawrence in the role of Katniss Everdeen.

Their first first, very brief look, that is.

With The Hunger Games set to release its first official trailer at this Sunday's Video Music Awards, the film has provided us with a teaser for that teaser, really nothing more than a video of the famous mockingjay pin on fire... until the very end, when we see Katniss glance up, presumably somewhere in the arena.

The Hunger Games Teaser

Of course, Entertainment Weekly has provided us with a still shot of Lawrence in this beloved role. Check out that magazine shot now!

The Hunger Games comes out on March 23.

We knew Dina Lohan was delusional, but this takes the cake.

The mother of Lindsay Lohan is telling investors she can snag some of the biggest actors in Hollywood for her new movie. Yes, Di-Lo penned a movie.

Dina is trying to raise $5.28 million to shoot Growing Defiant, which "takes a hard look at social pressures that can lead a kid in the wrong direction."  

Wonder where she got that plot line.

According to her business plan, the actors she'll go after include Dakota Fanning, Selena Gomez, Michael Cera, James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Tina Fey, Amanda Seyfried, Hayden Panettiere, Emma Stone, and Mila Kunis.

And son Michael Lohan, Jr., in the starring role of a heroin addict.

Hilariously, an asterisked note at the bottom of the plan says this is a "suggested cast list only. Michael Lohan is the only cast member who has been signed."

Good luck landing those stars for $5.28 million total. Or at all.

A pair of THG favorites are about to hit the big screen together, as Paul Rudd and Elizabeth Banks anchor the cast of Our Idiot Brother, which comes out on Friday.

The title pretty much makes it clear, but the film centers around Rudd's Ned, the runt of a beautiful litter that includes sisters played by Banks, Emily Mortimer and Zooey Deschanel. The former told Movie Fanatic that she can relate to the concept:

"I am the oldest, bossiest daughter of a family of four... I have a 26-year-old brother who sells pizza and maybe something else while delivering those pizzas."

Rudd, meanwhile, said he could relate to one aspect of the film in particular: playing charades.

"Despite all of the battling and fighting, we come together," the actor said. "It was such an emotionally charged moment and scene. It was kind of heartbreaking, because at different points we all sometimes - as hard as you can be - you just want to play charades with your family, but you’re unable to."

For more from Rudd, read his full interview now.

The recently-released poster of The Hunger Games, with the franchise's famous mockingjay pin on fire? Very cool.

An actual trailer with footage from the wildly anticipated March 23 release? Even cooler... and on the way! (UPDATE: And here it is! Watch below!)

The Hunger Games Movie Trailer

According to Movie Fanatic, Jennifer Lawrence will make her debut as Katniss Everdeen this Sunday night, as the first official preview for The Hunger Games airs during the MTV Video Music Awards. The planned trilogy is based on three best-selling novels by Suzanne Collins.

And in case you needed another reason to tune in for the ceremony: Lady Gaga will be kicking it off.

Hilary Duff is pregnant. This is joyous news.

Less celebratory news? She just got dropped from The Story of Bonnie and Clyde, the upcoming film in which she was supposed to star as Bonnie Parker.

The director is already shopping for a new Bonnie, though the split is being described as amicable: "Hilary won’t be available until June. If we could wait we would,” said a source of the film, scheduled to shoot this fall.

Coincidentally, producers are also looking for a new Clyde. Kevin Zegers is not pregnant, however. The Gossip Girl star merely has scheduling conflicts.

Emma Stone, Viola Davis and company helped themselves to millions of dollars at the box office this weekend, as The Help - which is garnering significant Oscar buzz - finished atop the pack of new and old releases.

The just-released slew of new Breaking Dawn photos? Totally and completely awesome!

In the following photo montage, courtesy of Summit Entertainment, we bear witness to: Jacob staring down Rosalie, Edward and Bella cuddling up on their honeymoon, Edward in a speedboat, Bella in ecstasy and the pre-wedding preparation for what the Breaking Dawn trailer dubs "the event that will change everything."

For Jessica Alba, promoting her latest movie, Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World 4D, was an art-imitating-life moment. Alba's Marissa Wilson, an international spy, is nine months pregnant when the film commences!

While doing press for the flick, Alba was also nine months pregnant - she and husband Cash Warren welcomed daughter Haven Garner earlier this week.

Alba stars with Community's Joel McHale as parents on the verge of the beautiful world of parenthood, in which neither knows what the other does for a living. Alba is a spy while McHale’s Wilbur Wilson is a spy hunter.

How does it play out? What made the role memorable for her?

Major filming on The Dark Knight Rises took place over the weekend in Pittsburgh, Pa., including some scenes caught on video by amateur onlookers.

The most notable item captured on tape was the Batwing, our hero's aerial vehicle. A slow-moving monstrosity in real life, it will surely look SICK on film.

Also prowling the Steel City's streets was Anne Hathaway's Catwoman ... stunt double. Hey, better than nothing. That suit does look pretty badass, no?

Check out FIVE clips of the Batwing, Catwoman, many of the Tumblers featured in the movie and more from the set of The Dark Knight Rises below ...
