Jonathan Rhys Meyers Arrested After Airport Fight

Tudors" star Jonathan Rhys Meyers was detained for several hours after allegedly punching a waiter in a drunken scuffle at a Paris airport, Agence France Presse reports.

The Irish actor was placed in custody on Saturday after the altercation at the Le Quotidien bar in terminal 2F at Charles de Gaulle airport. A server reportedly refused to serve the 31-year-old star, who appeared drunk. After a shouting fight with the bar's manager, another employee tried to separate the pair. Rhys Meyers then allegedly punched the employee.

He has been ordered to appear in court in a Paris suburb in September on charges of "willful violence, outrage, hitting and threatening death," a source told the news service.

This isn't the Bend It Like Beckham star's first airport scuffle.

The star was previously arrested and charged with being drunk and disorderly at Dublin airport in 2007.

Chris Brown new Single, Will you listen to it ?

Chris Brown's rumored new single, "Not my Fault" is supposedly hitting the radio tomorrow. What a friggin' title, huh?

Although, must preface, don't have total confirmation that this was written after the Rihanna Situation, but either way, this kid has some balls to release a track with that name as his comeback.

Take a listen to the song, It's about a singer who accidentally breaks his girlfriend's heart. Jeez, nothing about punching "her" in the face? Lyrics specifically like, "I picked up the paper and the headline reads/ It says a singer brokenhearted..." and "She's caught up/ That's not my fault, right."

Transformers Movie Reviews, Transformers Sequel

Brushup in a Movement: It's the claim homophonic picture as the honours Transformers, only more-more robots, more splendiferous hostility, solon Megan Fox (and Isabel Screenwriter) glamour shots, solon real sophomoric gratify, much Shia LaBeouf stammering, statesman wit references for the fans, more transformations...and whatsoever of it was barb in IMAX, too.

(Our ablaut of A-, it should be noted, presupposes that you likeable the unconventional and interpret what you're getting here.)

The Large Situation: Return of the Fallen begins in troglodyte present, mainly so manager Michael Bay can totally own Mel Illustrator's Apocalypto in only two transactions. But also so we can undergo big, bad The Fallen (air of Tony Character), a Transformer equal of Igniter, who (naturally) inspired the ancient Afroasiatic images of gods and now hangs out on Saturn where it turns out he's been bossing flagitious Decepticon slicker Megatron (Novelist Weaving) around all this time.

Talking of Megs, he gets alive from decease pretty rapidly via a remaining piece of the life-giving Allspark solid, all piece newer Autobots are occupied conflict alongside the U.S. personnel to seek out more invisible Decepticons.

If any of the above sounds equal a completely foreign communication to you, be absolutely definite to hit up Wikipedia before straight intellection about perception the movie, because if you don't already jazz what Energon and the Matrix of Leadership are, Bay ain't gonna comprehend his breather to obtain your paw on the substance. Parents beware, though: You'll requirement your kids to justify it all to you, but you might not be so cheerful with all the jokes about dogs humping and mechanism privates. There's also an English-accented Transformer who says bollocks a lot.

Haters of the first pic testament likely be upright as stunng, as it's not similar this one is substantially deeper. Any mistakes feature been learned: The robots utilize a broader colour range this dimension so as to (slightly) writer easily mark them in action. Key fan-favorite Transformers same Optimus First, Starscream and Megatron know been donated author material roles and no someone cross a backseat to puny humans (Tyrese and Josh Duhamel are the ones with little to do this go-around).

Archetype Megatron voice human Weenie Welker has returned, tho' not as Megs, alas, but rather the equally fundamental Soundwave. And old-school attribute traits are more intact-Soundwave works ejects a mechanism jaguar from his dresser, and Megatron erst again has a huge shot on his rightist arm.

Noneffervescent no indicant of the artist strain strain, though. Sam Raimi managed to get the old Spider-Man cartoon melody in all triplet of his flicks. Do you fuck to rely solely on Linkin Parcel, Archangel Bay? Real?

No sensation effort too worked up virtually any of that, though-this is a anomaly mechanism endeavor show that never takes itself too earnestly.

Do likewise and racket in the nimiety.

The 180-a Gear Judgement: Transformers are many fun when they actually, you live, modify. So the narrative spirit flags a bit when they leave the urbanized areas for the california, mostly remaining in mechanism modality for the relief of the film.

Transformers: Revenge of the Jar Jar ??

The guaranteed megahit is just 24 hours out of the gate and already such ado has arisen over agree autobots Skids and Mudflap from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, whose over-the-top, hip-hop-inspired informal and stereotypically black-sounding voices are, at good, racially and culturally indurate and, at bad, grossly unknowledgeable and invasive.


Meantime, the movie blog UGO suggests that the Transformers termination has something to scandalise everyone-Muslims, Asians, Jews, Italians, Scots, Teutonic, the Sculpturer, women... but that's added lie.

The principal immersion of the newest global of finger-wagging (George Screenwriter, who unleashed the subservient, suspicously strong Jar Jar Binks on unwitting Mark Wars fans in 1999, can name) are Skids and Mudflap.

When they're not leaving incognito as Chevy concept vehicles, they climb metallic teeth, can't construe and name their situate of filiation as "da malefactor."

How innovational.

The New York Nowadays' Manola Dargis describes their voices, provided by Tom Kenny and City President, as "conspicuously cartoonish" in a way that indicates "minstrelsy relic as much in trend in Feel" as when The Spirit Danger reared its psyche 10 eld ago. And AP critic Christy Lemire referred to the autobots as "Jar Jar Binks in car organize."

But most (if not all) critics finally sweptback the inane characterizations-which we should rattling enter low "action-script inactivity" more than anything else-into the greater cinematic content hair along with the repose of the enter (negative the kickass CGI effects, of education).

And, as CinemaBlend's Josh Town reminds us, Skids and Mudflap are more than "a collection of every bad classify imaginable, not targeted at any one ethnicity."

Same Jar Jar, they're but irritation.

Audiences will hold to debate the varied levels of offensiveness Transformers provides. If the ethnic stereotypes don't get you, something added likely testament, whether its the inordinate turn of skinnyness among the actresses or one persona's "pubic-fro noesis."

But as was the pillowcase with Grapheme Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Danger, the largest sin here is that an salacious total of money was spent antiquity a orotund seeable bloomer atop a inferior, cliché-ridden script.

Oh, and act trusty to rite for our tarradiddle this weekend near Avenge of the Fallen breaking June box-office records.

Rihanna - Chris Brown Back to court

So some for the Phil Spector-set instance of delinquent celebrities exploit what they full merit. Chris Emancipationist gets to vex up Rihanna, allegedly virtually suffocation her to suffocation and leaving her to fend for herself, and all the shmuck gets is district upkeep and probation? Oh, and he's gotta go through an anti-domestic force idea, equal he won't be texting his buddies all finished category, if he shows up at all.

C.B.'s wrist bolt of a penalisation is sending a horrible message to all the lowlifes out there: Turns out, you can savagely beat up your big separate in mercantilism for any group service-don't worry most any clink instant if you're a honor. There are a lot of freaks in the earth who would gladly pay that toll to be healthy to assault their girlfriends that way. This combust sentencing is a immense disesteem to every molested partner out there.

What I'm symmetrical solon pissed about is Rihanna making it all the way to the courtroom and she didn't get to testify against her wrongdoer. Ri-Ri's pull plant remains unheard to this day, and I dubiousness we ever will examine it. What's it gonna necessitate for her to eventually unobstructed up and percentage her undergo so anything this vicious doesn't encounter again-to others or to her? Don't claim equivalent it never happened, Ri, 'justification we here at the A.T. reliable aren't.

Chris Brown - Rihanna reunion show

The Chris Brown-Rihanna reunion show turned out to be a bust. But that didn't mean there weren't any fireworks.

Brown scuttled the long-awaited court showdown between the former flames as he copped a plea today and managed to avoid jail time for their now infamous Feb. 8 altercation.

The 20-year-old singer pleaded guilty to felony assault and was put on five years' probation and ordered to enroll in an anti-domestic violence program. He must perform 180 days of community service and must have all his travel vetted by a probation officer.

He is due to be formally sentenced Aug. 5, at which time a charge of making criminal threats is expected to be dismissed.

The announcement came as Rihanna waited in a private area of the criminal courts building. The 21-year-old "Disturbia" singer was ready to lay out her version of what went down following a Grammy Awards pre-party, if she were called to the stand.

But her testimony ultimately wasn't required. Instead of a preliminary hearing to determine whether Brown would go to trial on felony counts of assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury and making criminal threats, Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, dropped the bombshell that the case had been plea-bargained.

"He did not enter a no contest plea," Geragos emphasized at a press conference after court this afternoon. "As long as I've known him in connection with this case, he's wanted to take responsibility. I advised him to wait and let me work through the legal process, which he did."

Geragos described Brown as "a kid who had never been in trouble before," who "wants to move past this and obviously wants to make sure that the message gets out—that these kinds of things, domestic violence, are not acceptable. And [he] has accepted responsibility and will continue to do so and embraces this as an opportunity for him to get his life back on track, to get his career back on track."

Brown will likely serve time on graffiti-removal and trash-pickup duty—a fate far better than the four-plus years he would have faced in a state prison if convicted at trial (or if he violates the terms of his probation).

"I think it's commendable you took responsibility for your conduct," Judge Patricia Schnegg told him.

"I want Mr. Brown to be treated as any other person...I want him to be treated the same," said Schnegg, ruling that Brown can complete his probation in his home state of Virginia, but must return to California every three months to check in with authorities.

As part of his punishment, Schnegg also ordered that Brown receive a "complete stay away" order, prohibiting him from coming within 50 yards of Rihanna, except at industry gatherings, when the distance is shortened to 10 yards.
View the protective order

Then, after Brown exited the courtroom, the judge brought in Rihanna and explained that she was also subject to the order and could be in violation should she contact Brown.

"Rihanna was advised of the agreement and had no objection to it," her attorney, Donald Etra, told reporters outside the courthouse.

"She was fully prepared to testify and she would have told the truth about what happened that evening."

Joe Jonas Confirms Brother Nick And Miley Cyrus Are Dating

It seems like Joe Jonas may have accidentally outed Nick Jonas' recently rekindled romance with Miley Cyrus when the brothers — who kick off their tour Saturday— were on "Larry King Live" Thursday night.

When Larry got to talking about who the guys were dating, Joe remained mum on specifics, simply confirming that he does have a girlfriend. As Larry pressed on, wondering if Joe's lady love, Camilla Belle, is as famous as Nick's girlfriend, he surprised everyone by saying, "I dont think anybody is famous as Miley Cyrus"

Reps for both artists had not responded to MTV News' requests for comment at press time.

Kevin tried to smooth things over by telling Larry the guys have never been shy about their dating lives. "For all of us, we've always said we always date," he explained, while Nick looked visibly uncomfortable with the topic, stating he wants to keep things private. Kevin added, "For us, it is kind of odd to have people all around the world so concerned with a 16-year-old's love life."

But Kevin couldn't avoid questions about his own love life. "Yes, always dating, been together with someone for a very long time and very happy," Kevin said of his girlfriend, Danielle DeLeasa. When asked if he'd marry her, he said, "We'll see. She's an amazing girl."

Miley recently revealed that she and Nick had "reconnected." "He's my best friend, and we still hang out all the time, and we've definitely reconnected," she said when asked if it's weird to work with her ex. "And we don't know what's going to happen in the future, but right now we're just kicking it and hanging out as much as we can."

Movie Review: The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

about 80 percent of this subway heist flick consists of close-ups on John Travolta and Denzel Washington talking over an intercom. Fortunately, it's every bit as compelling as if they were shooting guns the whole time. Plus, the other 20 percent? Car crashes.

The Bigger Picture: The third adaptation of John Godey's 1973 novel—Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw costarred in a 1974 movie, while a 1998 TV version pitted Edward James Olmos against Vincent Onofrio—gives the material a modern twist. No longer just a mercenary, the subway hijacker known only as "Ryder" (Travolta) is now an evil Wall Street trader, hoping to recoup his losses after going to prison for massive fraud. He's probably the only Wall Street trader with a neck tattoo and perfectly groomed Morgan Spurlock mustache.

Subway dispatcher Walter Garber (Washington) has the bad luck of being on duty right when Ryder commandeers a train full of hostages, demanding $10 million within the hour before he starts shooting. The two develop a peculiar rapport, with Ryder seizing on weaknesses he perceives in his mild-mannered counterpart, while Garber tries to use the gift of gab to talk him down, even as his own flawed past becomes exposed.

Meanwhile, the mayor decides to pay the money, but it has to be swiftly driven across town by what is apparently the Keystone Kops division of the NYPD, who proceed to crash into anything and everything just so ADD-afflicted audience members won't get bored by all the talking.

Scott, to his credit, mostly lets the actors do their thing and stays out of their way. Sure, he tries to juice things up with silly slo-mo/drop-frame cityscapes, but these are mostly kept to a minimum. And Washington does a great job of persuading us he's kind of a put-upon regular joe, despite being one of the most handsome and famous people on the planet in real life.

Consider, too, that, given the setup, most of his interactions with Travolta must surely have been against a blank screen on set, though he absolutely will persuade you otherwise.

Fulltime Opinion: The character of Ryder, however, seems to have been written in a more interesting way than Travolta plays him; the actor simply does that tic-filled, twitchy, over-the-top thing he always does in action movies. Fair enough, but could have been even better.

Movie Review - The Proposal - Sandra Bullocks VS Ryan Reynolds

Review in a Hurry: Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds get naked. Need any other reason to see this cinematic matrimony of The Devil Wears Prada and Meet the Parents? Sweet, silly Proposal practically gets on bended knee and begs you to engage, so you might as well say "I do."

The Bigger Picture: If you like your rom-coms as traditional (i.e., predictable) as a generic white wedding, you'll wanna join the guest list for The Proposal, which takes every expected step in its walk down the aisle. But the two lovebirds are so appealing you can't help but get swept up in the joy of the event.

After drowning in treacly dreck like The Lake House, Bullock is back in fine comedic form as Margaret Tate, an Anna Wintour of sorts at a New York publishing house. Faced with deportation to her native Canada, this high-powered editor in pencil skirts and stiletto heels bribes her abused assistant, Andrew Paxton (Reynolds), into being her fiancé.

As part of the charade, and with a suspicious immigration official monitoring their moves, the unlikely couple head to Andrew's small Alaska hometown to meet his family and announce their engagement. Of course, the frosty relationship between cold-blooded boss and embittered underling soon thaws, and Bullock deftly makes Margaret's warm-up both amusing and affecting, especially as she's conflicted by the consequences of her snowballing sham.

The pic piles up clichés like so much plowed slush: the awkward meet-and-greet with kooky in-laws, the typical fish-outta-water jokes, and—king of them all—the climactic sprint to the airport. (Can we please retire that one?)

But plenty of laugh lines and the irresistible coupling of the charismatic leads help overcome—or at least distract you from—the many plot contrivances. Betty White proves a scene-stealer as feisty Grandma Annie, as does The Office's Oscar Nuñez, who assumes the role of "exotic" dancer and other, um, positions.

The 180—a Second Opinion: Some of the lamer, more slapsticky gags—Bullock battling a hungry hawk and boogying around a campfire—feel like they belong in a different comedy. Perhaps The Sarah Palin Story.

Twilight - New Moon - Is true blood is the new Twilight ?

Don't get us wrong, Twilight is our one true love when it comes to those deliciously fanged types. But when we want to get our more scandalous Nikki Reed side going, we turn to vampire porn True Blood. The gothic HBO show has a bunch of things Summit wouldn't dare let its presh kids partake in (onscreen anyway!): kinky sex (complete with actual nudity), blood-drenched violence and a public relationship between the main stars!


We sure wouldn't kick Stephen Moyer away if he tried to bite us, but S.M. and his real-life lover, Anna Paquin, are certainly no Robsten—they don't even have a fun couple nickname! (PaqMo? So not sexy!) The costar sweeties realized the chemistry was there from their very first audition together—how familiar!—but waited two years to announce they were an item. Is that how long we'll have to wait for Robsten to follow suit?

Quite possibly. Until the entire Twilight franchise is pumped out, we're told Rob and Kristen will still be babysat big time. As we've explained over and over for those who keep asking why Robsten is a bad thing to studio execs, the likelihood that two young, delectable stars are going to be together forevah and keep their pants zipped up for everyone else is slim to none. And no one can have two actors love each other on screen and hate each other off. Buh-bye million-dollar movie franchise. Luckily for HBO, naughty is more than encouraged!

Check out the next ep of Blood's season two tonight, and don't think you're cheating on your beloved Edward and Bella. T.B.'s ab-tastic Ryan Kwanten told us there are no harsh feelings between casts of the two shows , so it's perfectly all right to enjoy both sorts of vamp entertainment!

Robert Pattinson - take a bath !

Any old celebrity can inspire a petition.

Then there's Robert Pattinson. He can—and does—inspire petitions. Very plural.

Pattinson fans, it seems, aren't content to merely wave at their object of affection—as the screaming hordes who supposedly prompted the Twilight star to hurl his white-hot self in front of an on coming New York City cab suggest.

No, they want to help, advise and even bathe their man.

Here's a sampling of the Pattinson petitions, in case, you know, you're looking for a worthy cause to support:

No, they want to help, advise and even bathe their man.

Here's a sampling of the Pattinson petitions, in case, you know, you're looking for a worthy cause to support:

Sadly, there's no evidence this one succeeded. (Yet.) But there's no harm in trying. Or asking. As those lobbying for Pattinson appearances in Australia and Kansas City should agree. (Note to Mr. Pattinson regarding the Kansas City petition: No idea if you're being asked to pop into Kansas City, Kan., or Kansas City, Mo. Guess you'll have to do both to shore up support in the Midwest.)

• "Please Wash Your Hair, Robert Pattinson"

It's unclear when this respectful plea—"We, the undersigned, hereby beg you to wash your hair. We also petition that you then, once you have washed your hair, wash it routinely thereafter, at least once every few days, with shampoo."—was launched. Was it after Pattinson showed off his dirty hair in Dossier? Or after Pattinson talked about his dirty hair to Extra? In any case, the anti-dirty hair movement is apparently not as hot as Pattinson's dirty hair. At last check, there were just 57 signees for the above petition. Make that, 57 ardent signees. Writes No. 51: "Damn straight, it needs washing."

• "Petition to get Robert Pattinson to take a bath!!! Who's with me?"

To answer the above question, the person who wrote "Take a bath, stinky!" is with you. (Maybe time to join forces with the shampoo pushers?)

• "Twilight on SNL, Robert Pattinson as Host"

With more than 5,000 signees, and a blog to boot, this is one of the largest Pattinson petitions out there. Sadly, for its supporters, it's been as successful as the bath one. As Saturday Night Live viewers can attest, Pattinson did not host the show last season. Signatures, however, are still being added. And another SNL season is looming. An NBC rep says no guest hosts, dirty haired or not, are locked in yet.

• "Let Robert Pattinson Use Accent In New Moon"

Question: If Pattinson took a bath, washed his hair and sounded like a proper Brit in the Twilight sequel, would we even recognize him?

• "Against Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen"

Um, this petition, which attracted 725 signees, is now closed.
