It appears that Kristen Stewart is the fairest of them all! The "Twilight" star is the main actress being considered for the lead in the big-screen adaptation of "Snow White and the Huntsman."
According to The Hollywood Reporter (along with Deadline, which is now claiming ownership of the "scoop"), Stewart is in final negotiations to play the fair-skinned, flaxen-haired princess in the beloved fairy tale. Viggo Mortensen ("The Road") and Academy Award winner Charlize Theron are still reportedly being considered for the roles of the huntsman and the evil queen.
Stewart has apparently bested four other actresses who were once on the list for the part: Riley Keough ("The Runaways"), Felicity Jones ("The Tempest"), Emily Browning (the forthcoming "Sleeping Beauty") and Alicia Vikander ("Beloved"). All the former contenders screen-tested for the part; Stewart didn't have to, since her "Twilight" superstardom (coupled with her work in smaller films) has given her enough clout that she no longer has to screen-test for roles.
Casting for the film is said to be well under way, and Rupert Sanders (who has done commercial and short films in the past) will direct.
Right now, Stewart is filming "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn," which is expected to wrap this spring. Fans are anticipating the chance to see Bella and Edward finally marry and Bella turn into a vampire in this flick. Her film "On the Road" is scheduled for release later this year. The film was adapted from the iconic Jack Kerouac novel of the same name and also stars Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley and Kirsten Dunst.

After several months of whispers and rumors (and a cameo in MTV Films' "Jackass 3D"), it appears as though America's two favorite animated idiots will be returning to your television screen. In the channel's upfront presentation Wednesday (February 2), the cast of MTV's "Skins" announced that "Beavis and Butt-head" would be coming back this summer.
"Solid day in NYC," Canadian pop sensation and "Never Say Never" star Justin Bieber tweeted Wednesday. "Played hoops and just went to the MTV Upfronts...BEAVIS and BUTTHEAD are coming back!!!"
Ironically, Bieber hadn't even been born yet when MTV viewers first got a glimpse of the two bored high school students. Created by Mike Judge (who would later go on to produce "King of the Hill" and direct cult-classic films like "Office Space" and "Idiocracy"), Beavis and Butt-head first appeared in a short called "Frog Baseball" as part of an old MTV animation show called "Liquid Television." The popularity of the short led to the development of the half-hour show, which juxtaposed the pair's animated antics with their commentary about various music videos (usually terrible clips from obscure grunge acts or awful metal bands).
The original "Beavis and Butt-head" series ran for 200 episodes between its premiere in 1993 and its finale in 1997. In that time, there was also a feature film ("Beavis and Butt-head Do America"), a comic book series, a handful of video games and appearances on the MTV Video Music Awards and "The Late Show With David Letterman," among others. (The show also inspired the spin-off series "Daria," which ran for 65 episodes between 1997 and 2002.)
Are you excited for the return of "Beavis and Butt-head"? Let us know in the comments!

'Roommate' Stars Minka Kelly, Cam Gigandet Share Girl-Fight Tips

For anyone who has seen a trailer or TV spot for "The Roommate" — the upcoming thriller starring Leighton Meester, Minka Kelly and Cam Gigandet — it's clear that the film contains the following: beautiful people in college, beautiful people in college going crazy and beautiful people possibly getting in possessive girl fights.
Naturally, we don't want to spoil anything, but one of the key elements to a good thriller is a good balance of tension and action. "The Roommate" happens to have a few of those scenes, particularly a climactic battle royale. When MTV News caught up with Kelly and Gigandet recently, we asked them to explain the elements to a good girl fight, and specifically what went into the one in their film.
"The key elements to a girl fight ... having a guy get knocked out by a girl is always a key element," Gigandet joked, hinting at something his character endures in the film. "Yeah, that one took a blow to my ego as well."
Gigandet said Kelly and Meester's performances dispel "the image of a women's fragileness. Their fight put that to rest. These girls are not fragile; they're badasses. So that was my favorite part of it."
Kelly, who plays the innocent nice girl to Meester's crazy chick, said there was a lot of work involved in making the scene believable.
"We worked really hard to make sure it looked like a real girl fight," she explained. "I Googled 'girl fights' on YouTube, and we made sure it was messy and hair was everywhere."
Kelly added that they threw real punches and knees, and that they did their own stunts. "We fought to kill, because unfortunately, when girls fight, they fight to kill, and that was very true and real in our fight. We did our own stunts. We were pretty banged up by the end of it," she admitted.
"I wanted to make sure that our fight looked like a real girl fight," Kelly continued. "I didn't want it to look too choreographed or rehearsed. I wanted it to be messy and intense. That's why we made sure it was us; every frame it's us."
Check out everything we've got on "The Roommate."
