We've been having fun trying to dissect everything that's been teased or featured in the "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/456685/moviemain.jhtml"]Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows[/url]" promotional campaign, without getting too detailed or spoilery of course. From the look of things, it's clear that there is a lot going on with new characters and supervillains and such. Director [url="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1676018/sherlock-holmes-robert-downey-jr-guy-ritchie.jhtml"]Guy Ritchie told us [/url] that this movie is like the first one but on steroids, for example, and while one of those obviously amped up elements are the action sequences, there also seems to be a lot of Holmes dressing up and down in a variety of disguises. [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/12/15/robert-downey-jr-sherlock-holmes-drag/"][img]http://mtv.mtvnimages.com/uri/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:719419?height=288&width=512[/img][/url] When MTV News caught up with [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/17609/personmain.jhtml"]Robert Downey Jr.[/url] recently we asked him what he enjoyed most about all the costume changes and the pros and cons of men dressing in drag. "Many of them are disguises, some of them are innovative, but pretty much the entire opening of the film I'm wearing a Chinese dress Gui, which I enjoyed very much," he said with a smile. In addition to the Gui, Holmes spends time as a bell hop, an elderly man, curtains and wallpaper and dressed as a woman. We asked Downey Jr. what it is about men in drag that never fails to draw a few laughs, no matter the situation. "I don't know. It shouldn't be funny if they're meaning to do that," he said. "In this case he's trying to provide a convincing disguise. I think what's funny is Holmes dressed as a woman busting in on Watson and Mary on their honeymoon. That I like."

[img]http://moviesblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/prometheus_poster_thumb.jpg[/img] The first two "Alien" movies are sci-fi classics, so it's not surprising that we all wanted [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/433741/moviemain.jhtml"]Ridley Scott's "Prometheus"[/url] to be related in some way. Indeed, it is -- there are "[url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/12/01/prometheus-isnt-an-alien-prequel-swears-fox-studio-chief/"]strands of DNA[/url]" floating around in the film that'll come out next summer, but not much else. That seems okay; based on the first official poster, there will be enough mysterious sci-fi goings on without accounting for the dense "Alien" world. Check out that poster (as well as a new "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/430400/moviemain.jhtml"]John Carter[/url]" poster) after the jump! [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/prometheus_poster.jpg"][img]http://moviesblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/prometheus_poster.jpg[/img][/url] There's not much to see besides the outline of an explorer laid against a giant head, but it perfectly sets the tone for adventuring in the deepness of space. The cast is sneaky loaded with stars, too -- Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace and Charlize Theron, just to name a few. We can't wait for next June to see how it all plays out. On the other hand, the new "John Carter" IMAX poster inhabits one mood: intense. There's Taylor Kitsch chained up in some gladiator pit, running away from two yeti/hippopotamus hybrids with a panicked look on his face. Maybe he's realizing that the chain is too short, or that without the key "of Mars" subtitle, no one knows what this movie's going to be about except for two things: Taylor Kitsch and yeti/hippopotamus hybrids. (All due respect, "John Carter" could be the name of a fictional high school basketball coach who taught his team how to respect itself, or a biopic about the guy who invented eyeglasses. Alas, that's how the marketing game goes!)

Rodney claims the allegations are completely false. Now, we've obtained the divorce documents, in which both Rodney and Tammy agree they are "unable to live together successfully as husband and wife." Both Rodney and Tammy also state that the other is "guilty of such inappropriate marital conduct as renders further cohabitation unsafe and improper." According to the docs, Tammy is demanding sole custody of the couple's 10-year-old child -- plus she wants alimony, child support and Rodney to pay for her legal fees. Rodney is demanding joint custody -- and claims he's willing to pay child support -- but he wants Tammy to pay for HIS legal fees. For now, the judge has signed off on a restraining order -- barring both Rodney and Tammy from "harassing, threatening, assaulting or abusing the other party."

By Nadeska Alexis Back in 2006 Shyne converted to Judaism, and the Jerusalem resident now answers to the name Moshe Levi. In new interview with Time's Global Spin, the former Bad Boy signee says that he no longer wants to be a rapper, but admits that one of his current initiatives is a campaign that will allow him back into the United States for a college tour with his new music. Check out a few highlights from Moshe Levi’s interview. On converting to Judaism: “An African in America who’s pretty famous in African-American culture, you would think would be drawn to Islam, or maybe Christianity, but I couldn’t convert to something I’m not. Islam just didn’t make sense to me. I come from the ultimate truth. European Jews are not the only Jews.” On his new music: “I don’t even want to be a rapper. I don’t listen to that music. I’m a musician. I’d rather be like Bob Marley or Leonard Cohen, one of those guys,” he said, describing his new work as, “totally philosophical and sophisticated.” “No misogyny. None of that deranged stuff I used to be into.” On his relationship with hip-hop: “The hip-hop culture is not a philanthropic culture. I’m not pointing the finger at them, all I’m saying is: I am a giver.” On resisting Zionism, despite being Orthodox: “I definitely try not to get into the whole gang affiliation thing.“I don’t really have time to figure out their thing. I have my thing.” I just said I’m absolutely not into sects or gangs. I love all human beings.” Related Shyne Warns Lil Wayne About Working With Rick Ross Shyne Documents Israel Trip In Journal Excerpts [url=http://rapfix.mtv.com/2011/12/15/shyne-aka-moshe-levi-dont-want-to-be-a-rapper/]View the full article[/url]

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association did manage to acknowledge some of this year's best work despite the annual longlist of snubs, so here are the picks we want to applaud from this year's field of contenders. [b]Fixing the SAG Mistakes[/b] Probably the biggest good the HFPA did this year was correcting the [url="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1675963/screen-actors-guild-nominations-bridesmaids.jhtml"]oversights committed on the part of the Screen Actors Guild[/url]. The actors union snubbed some of the year's best performances including [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/359134/personmain.jhtml"]Michael Fassbender[/url] for "Shame," [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/73235/personmain.jhtml"]Albert Brooks[/url] for "Drive," and [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/387680/personmain.jhtml"]Shailene Woodley[/url] for "The Descendants." These specific omissions were by far the most glaring for the SAGs and the HFPA did the right thing and boosted their chances for Oscar nominations. [b]Two for the Gos[/b] Simply put, the man had an incredible year. [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/244285/personmain.jhtml"]Ryan Gosling[/url] not only starred in three of the best films of the year, but handed in consistently stellar performances. I'll ignore that the Lead Actor - Drama nomination came for "The Ides of March" instead of for "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/489664/moviemain.jhtml"]Drive[/url]," but his nod for "Crazy, Stupid, Love" was both unexpected and entirely deserved. [b]Joseph Gordon-Levitt for '50/50'[/b] Not an entirely surprising nomination, but [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/24559/personmain.jhtml"]Joseph Gordon-Levitt[/url] deserved it for his work in "50/50." He has established himself in recent years as one of the best young actors in Hollywood, so anytime JGL gets awards recognition, it's proof that the HFPA is paying attention to the right actors. [b]Brendan Gleeson for 'The Guard'[/b] He's been quietly stealing scenes for years, so it's nice to see [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/24009/personmain.jhtml"]Brendan Gleeson[/url] get recognition for the under-seen "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/469656/moviemain.jhtml"]The Guard[/url]." Gleeson plays a larger than life local police officer that could have earned him more serious awards consideration if the movie had been pushed harder. Thankfully, the HFPA sought it out and rightfully recognized Gleeson for his hilariously dark performance. [b]Retroactively Nominating the Cast of 'The Wire'[/b] Both [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/235360/personmain.jhtml"]Idris Elba[/url] and [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/168588/personmain.jhtml"]Dominic West[/url] walked away with nominations for their work on television, and frankly, it feels like justice. When the show that many people consider one of the best drama series ever, "The Wire," originally aired, it didn't score a singal nomination from the HFPA association. Now, at last, it looks like Stringer Bell and Jimmy McNulty are getting their due.

The reason the camera guy asked the question -- there were reports he was settling on $20 mil. But let's put this in context. Stern signed a 5-year deal with Sirius XM for an estimated $400 million.

By William E. Ketchum III Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim have traded blatant and “subliminal” jabs at each other over the past year, but the “Queen of Hip Hop Soul,” Mary J. Blige, thinks that the two should resolve their differences. "Kim is my friend and I love and respect Nicki, just met her and got to know the young lady and she's a sweetheart. But it’s people putting fuel in it," Blige said in an interview on The Morning Riot show at WGCI Chicago. "It's the crews [fueling it.] It's the people behind the whole thing. Maybe one day [a track with all three of us] will happen. I'm hoping. We just all got to think positive,” Blige continued. “Everyone is just thinking so negative about it and everyone is in it, but if a bunch of people would say, 'Yo, stop this and let's help these girls do something together or to see the light.'" Throughout the rest of the interview, Blige talks about maintaining her relationship with her husband, clears up comments made about wishing she had parents like Beyonce’s and more. The tension between the two emcees has been a building up over the years. Elements of Nicki’s image—such as her multicolored wigs and her bra and panties-clad promo poster for her 2008 mixtape Sucka Free—were admittedly inspired by Kim, but Kim accused Nicki of stealing her style and passively disrespecting her. The beef resulted in and continued to be fueled by songs such as Lil Kim’s “Black Friday” and Minaj’s “Roman’s Revenge.” Recent releases, including Kim's November freestyle over Uncle Murda's “Warning,” have kept the beef going.

The race is wide open, and with no clear front-runner, we need you to help pick which movie is the most likely to take the top prize. Vote for your choice of most likely to win Best Picture in our poll below! [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/476699/moviemain.jhtml"][b]"The Artist"[/b][/url] If any movie has emerged as a Best Picture front-runner, it has to be Michel Hazanavicius' "The Artist." The silent, black and white ode to the golden age of cinema took the festival circuit by storm and established its lead Jean Dujardin as the man to beat for Best Actor. [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/474906/moviemain.jhtml"][b]"The Descendants"[/b][/url] From the director of "Election" and "Sideways," "The Descendants" follows a father, played by George Clooney, as he both deals with his dying wife and his two neglected teenage daughters. The movie struck the signature balance of humor and sadness that director Alexander Payne is known for. [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/454865/moviemain.jhtml"][b]"War Horse"[/b][/url] It's a movie about an adorable horse in WWI who is trying to get back home to his family, and it's directed by Steven Spielberg. Of course, it was going to be an awards contender. Reports from advanced screenings have audiences cheering and grabbing tissues. [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/453640/moviemain.jhtml"][b]"Hugo"[/b][/url] Legendary director Martin Scorsese took a risk and ventured into children's movies for the first time, and boy, should we all be grateful!

[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/383853/moviemain.jhtml"][b]"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2"[/b][/url] It was more than just another Harry Potter movie. It was an experience, an end of an era, a rollercoaster, an action film, a horror movie. Most of all, it was one of the finest movie going experiences of the year. [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/456914/moviemain.jhtml"][b]"The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"[/b][/url] Director David Fincher has come out and said he doesn't think his adaptation of the best-selling Stieg Larsson novel is the type of movie that gets Oscar nominations, but critics and other awards groups have disagreed. [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/461429/moviemain.jhtml"][b]"The Help"[/b][/url] The feel-good drama from all the way back in the summer is old by Academy standards, but people could not stay away from this film. "The Help" received some of the best reviews of the year and lots of awards attention for both Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer. [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/419725/moviemain.jhtml"][b]"Moneyball"[/b][/url] Who knew a movie about baseball statistics could be so damn great? Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill make an unexpectedly great team in this story about how Billy Beane, the general manager for the Oakland A's, changed baseball.

The movie scored at the box office and went on to become Allen's highest grossing movie of all time.

The Harmon family and their supernatural roommates are up against several other newcomers including the much-loved "[url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/tag/game-of-thrones"]Game of Thrones[/url]." Congrats also go out to the sharp-tongued [url="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1675652/best-tv-characters-snooki-jersey-shore.jhtml"]Jessica Lange's Constance Langdon[/url], who is nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category. Does the horror series stand a chance this season? Ponder that, and read up on the rest of this week's horror news past the break.

[REC] and [REC] 2 co-director Paco Plaza tells the story that takes place just a few hours before the first film's carnage begins — at a wedding, even. Stars Leticia Dolera and Diego Martin see their special day turn into an utter bloodbath (love it!). Wedding bells ring in Spanish theaters on March 30, which hopefully means we'll be seeing a release date in the U.S. sometime soon. [url="http://www.deadline.com/2011/12/warner-bros-buys-actionsci-fi-pitch-from-roy-lees-underground/"][b]'Saw' Writers 'Rise' At Warner Bros.[/b] Deadline[/url] hasn't shared much about a new action/sci-fi pitch circulating at Warner Brothers, but we noticed two familiar names from the genre world. "Saw" writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan have teamed up with "The Ring" producer and a fledgling screenwriter for a project they're calling "Rise." The horror duo recently worked on the "Piranha 3DD" screenplay and there's some ambiguous info floating around on IMDb about a "Collector" sequel, so we're curious to see how this one pans out for the team. [url="http://www.deadline.com/2011/12/legendary-postpones-january-start-of-paradise-lost/"][b]'Paradise' Hopefully Found Soon For Legendary Pictures[/b][/url] Alex Proyas' good vs. evil action epic, "Paradise Lost" — based on the classic John Milton poem — has hit a budgetary roadblock. Legendary Pictures exceeded their $120 million mark, which means it's back to the drawing board to make some cuts. Hopefully that doesn't mean any changes for the cast that includes Bradley Cooper, Casey Affleck, and Dominic Purcell. We'll stand by patiently for now to see where things go, because we really want to know what Bradley Cooper looks like as Lucifer. [url="http://www.deadline.com/2011/12/nick-swardson-and-tj-miller-cast-in-stop-motion-pic-hell-back/"][b]Stop Motion Animated Hellfire Coming Soon[/b][/url] There's a new stop motion animation feature that sends someone to hell to burn for all eternity. Two best friends try to rescue their buddy, but all those pesky demons try to stop them — because the dark ones can be pretty greedy when it comes to meeting their monthly quota. Nick Swardson ("Reno 911") and TJ Miller ("Cloverfield," "Get Him to the Greek") will be appearing in the R-rated animation that starts shooting in January. Will you brave the hellfire and brimstone to check it out?

A 17-year-old art student is sent across the world to collect teeth by her father. She's not sure why (guess this family doesn't talk much … ), but an encounter with an angel reveals all that her family has been hiding. Otherworldly adventures ensue. Have you read the book yet, and do you see this one making an interesting translation to the big screen?

The film finds an ex-soldier as a contract killer who is grappling with the devastating aftermath following a botched job in Kiev. He presses on with a strange, new assignment, but soon realizes that his whole world is beginning to unravel.

The winner of 2011's Hottest Breakthrough MC competition has been decided, making way for the most anticipated debate of the year: Who is 2011's Hottest MC?
