<P>Welcome to 2012, the year that will either bring us <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_phenomenon" target="_blank">the end of civilization</a> as we know it or perhaps flying cars (finally!) Of course, between those two events, there's also going to be a presidential election, the London Olympics and that last "Twilight" movie (finally x 100!), not to mention a whole lot of activity within the lives of your favorite stars, too: Babies, weddings, honorary doctorates in nanotechnology; <i>this</i> is the year it'll all happen. </p><div class="player-placeholder right" id="vid:722495.id:1672369" width="240" height="211"></div><p> Which is why, with the new year upon us, I've decided to get my <a href="http://www.amazingkreskin.com/" target="_blank">Kreskin</a> on with these predictions for 2012.

Demi Lovato 'Stay Strong' Special Reflects On 'Great Journey'

Winning Favorite Pop Artist at People's Choice Awards 'was the highlight of my year,' singer says in documentary, airing Tuesday.

Demi Lovato has had an interesting year, to say the least. After leaving treatment in January 2011, she focused on her work, going into the studio to make the fun — but still very personal — album Unbroken. She launched a tour that quickly became viral thanks to her emotional cover of Lil Wayne's "How to Love." She put the pieces back together, while remaining completely honest with her fans about her issues. Lovato gets personal and tells her story in the MTV documentary "Demi Lovato: Stay Strong," airing Tuesday.

"I've just been working at it a day at a time and have been trying to continue to fight my hardest," she told MTV News about still dealing with her problems. "And I've had my ups and downs, and I'm still trying, but overall it's been a really great journey, and I'm thankful for everything that I've been through."

Her single "Skyscraper" topped the charts, and her fans turned it out when she toured last fall, but there's one moment that really is the tops for Lovato: "I won Favorite Pop Artist at the People's Choice Awards," she said of the January awards ceremony where she performed her new single, "Give Your Heart a Break." "So that was the highlight of my year so far. I worked really hard towards that, and it was just amazing."

Now, though, as Lovato looks to the future, she says that anyone can rewrite their story and shift the focus to the positive. It's a message she hopes her fans can take with them. "I think it's important to make sure that people know there's a positive side to it, that you can kind of rework your story no matter what," she said. "I'm just trying to be an example for girls today."

"Demi Lovato: Stay Strong" airs at 10 p.m. ET/PT Tuesday on MTV.

'Project X': The Reviews Are In!

Critics call the found-footage teen movie immature, unfunny and even dangerous.
By Kevin P. Sullivan

"Project X" is the new found-footage movie that claims to show the most out-of-control party ever. Well, it seems like the party might be over based on the reviews the film has earned.

Critics have skewered "Project X," calling it immature, unfunny and even dangerous. For some, that might sound like a ringing endorsement of the party, but when it comes to throwing a movie together, "Project X" is much less successful.

Here is our roundup of "Project X" reviews.

The Story
"In suburban Pasadena, three exceedingly ordinary high school dudes stage a birthday bash for one of them, even though they're hardly the sort of guys that you'd expect to attract a hot crowd. Thomas (Thomas Mann), the one turning 17, whose parents are going away for the weekend, is the dutiful son who has promised — oh, has he promised! — not to mess up their home." — Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

The Laughs
"It's billed as a comedy, but there's not a laugh to be had during the frenetic mayhem. There is also no plot beyond debauchery, nor characters beyond cardboard cutouts. Basically, it's a setting, and a familiar one: a suburban home teeming with drunken, druggie, hedonistic, irresponsible high-schoolers." — Claudia Puig, USA Today

The POV
"Aesthetically, the film sets the teeth grinding and the eyes aching. Presenting the spectacle from the p.o.v. of a home video camera documenting the event for posterity, first-time director Nima Nourizadeh and cinematographer Ken Seng swing the camera around with all the stability of a rowboat in a storm and unsurprisingly induce a strong facsimile of seasickness. The images tend to be dark and random, the music incessant." — Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter

The Parents in the Audience
"But only about an hour in, 'Project X' grows repetitive and starts running out of steam, and you begin to wonder what could possibly occur over the remaining 30 minutes or so. And not to get all mom-ish, but it does send a disturbing message to teens under the guise of 'edgy' entertainment. If you provide a setting and the means for strangers to get hammered, it will make you cool. If you are a young woman who wants approval, you must get naked and give up the goods." — Christy Lemire, The Associated Press

The Final Word
"The only people likely to buy into the oh-so-shocking exploits of the teen comedy 'Project X' are those who can't get invited to their own high school parties. Though the central blowout is as epic as advertised, so is the movie's self-congratulatory obnoxiousness." — Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

'The Lorax': The Reviews Are In!

Latest Dr. Seuss adaptation isn't winning over too many critics.


A scene from "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax"

There are few authors whose oeuvre is as universally beloved as that of Dr. Seuss. The love for Dr. Seuss is so great that plenty of his stories are rife for big-screen treatment. We've seen movie versions of "The Cat in the Hat," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Horton Hears a Who," and now we have "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax," which hit theaters Friday (March 2).

Led by an all-star cast of voice talent including Taylor Swift, Zac Efron, Danny DeVito, Betty White, Ed Helms and Rob Riggle, the story follows the journey of a young boy who fights to reintroduce endangered trees to the plastic-obsessed town of Thneedville in hopes of winning a girl's heart. Despite the warm-and-fuzzy sheen of the film, critics were not as wowed by the colorful adaptation. The film currently has a 56 percent fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes but an 85 percent positive rating from audiences.

Read on as we sift through "The Lorax" reviews!

The Adaptation
"Director Chris Renaud and writers Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio (the team responsible for 2010's 'Despicable Me') were just the right people to bring Dr. Seuss' (a.k.a. Theodor Geisel) 1971 environmental fable to vivid, eye-popping life. It has a similar blend of humor, bouncy silliness and sweetness. And it remains faithful to the spirit of Seuss. The pro-conservation, anti-consumerist message of the book is heartily intact. And, like the Seuss story, the film never resorts to sermonizing. ... Disappointingly, Seuss' trademark lilting language and clever rhymes are only sporadically integrated into the story. The film does add pleasantly loopy, if rather forgettable, songs." — Claudia Puig, USA Today

The Animation
"As with 'Horton Hears a Who!' four years ago, the production design and computer-generated animation in this new 'Lorax' respect the basic lines of Theodor Seuss Geisel's illustrations, his voluptuously curvy universe of serious whimsy. Both the 'Horton' and 'Lorax' films work better, certainly, than the live-action Seuss pictures 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' and the seriously not-good 'Cat in the Hat.' 'The Lorax' is a little more like it. A little. But you couldn't accuse the film of practicing what it preaches: careful stewardship of a precious resource. The message tends to get lost in all the clanging slapstick and 'WALL-E' imagery. 'WALL-E' had the courage of its convictions as well as beauty and artistry; 'The Lorax' is just another OK feature-length animated edition (in 3-D, if you choose to pay for it) of a Dr. Seuss book." — Michael Phillips, The Chicago Tribune

The Final Word, Pro-Con-Pro Style
"Directors Chris Renaud and Kyle Balda and their team honor Seuss' original designs — those fuzzy-top trees and the comical bears and fish — while inventively creating the artificial world of Thneedville, where all the shrubbery is inflatable and it can be all four seasons simultaneously. While the film isn't a full-on musical, the creators weave in a handful of catchy songs that nestle comfortably in the ear and push the plot forward, a rare combo in most cartoons these days. The voice cast is just fine, with Helms' Once-ler traveling smoothly from protagonist to antagonist and back again. (A little of DeVito's hectoring Lorax goes a long way, and the film wisely doles him out in small doses.) Conservative commentators like Lou Dobbs are absolutely right when they say that 'The Lorax' preaches in favor of the environment and against corporatism and waste and the destruction of the atmosphere. Parents who find that to be a message that's somehow dangerous have every right not to go, but those Grinches, out of their terror of tree-hugging propaganda, will miss a real treat." — Alonso Duralde, TheWrap

"Don't be fooled. Despite its soft environmentalist message 'The Lorax' is an example of what it pretends to oppose. Its relationship to Dr. Seuss' book is precisely that of the synthetic trees that line the streets of Thneedville to the organic Truffulas they have displaced. The movie is a noisy, useless piece of junk, reverse-engineered into something resembling popular art in accordance with the reigning imperatives of marketing and brand extension. ... 'The Lorax,' while it nods in the direction of Dr. Seuss' distinctive, trippy drawing style, treats his sensibility as, at best, a decorative element. The movie's silliness, like its preachiness, is loud and slightly hysterical, as if young viewers could be entertained only by a ceaseless barrage of sensory stimulus and pop-culture attitude, or instructed by songs that make the collected works of Up With People sound like Metallica. The simple fable of the Lorax and the Once-ler is wrapped in gaudy, familiar business and festooned with grim, forced cheer. What do the kids want? Car chases! Kooky grandmas! Pint-size villains flanked by thuggish minions! Things that fly! Taylor Swift!" — A.O. Scott, The New York Times

"As much as this looks like Dr. Seuss, some of the most intriguing ideas of the original story have been changed and not always for the better. Altering the ending into one big happy party was slightly disappointing, if understandable. It was much more interesting that this strange creature would tell his story to a curious young boy and hope that this child would be able to plant the very last truffula tree seed. Not surprisingly, the movie changes that ambiguous hope into a happy-heavy ending. Sure it may be more child friendly, but the books weren't exclusively made for grown-ups. If done right, young viewers would be able to search for hope with a less obvious finale. Yet with all the over-the-top joyfulness and an extraneous villain, there is fun to be had with 'Dr. Seuss' The Lorax.' This is an enjoyable kid's flick with a message for a new generation. The environmental aspect might anger a few people but that same idea is in the book itself, there is nothing new about that here. Much like Bob Holt's take on him, I really warmed up to the character of the Lorax and what DeVito brings to this little critter that speaks for the trees. And yes, Betty White voices another wacky grandma, and everybody loves her, right?" — Jimmy O, JoBlo.com

'Dark Shadows' Photos Reveal Faithful Fashion

Vanity Fair character portraits prove Tim Burton is sticking with the aesthetic of the '60s series.
By John Mitchell

Another week has passed, and we still don't have a "Dark Shadows" trailer. For those keeping tabs, we're just over two months out (70 days, to be exact) from the scheduled release of Tim Burton's campy vampire blockbuster. But to whet increasingly impatient fans' appetites, in this month's Vanity Fair, Burton and company have released some character portraits of Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins, Michelle Pfeiffer as Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, Eva Green as Angelique Bouchard and Helena Bonham Carter as Dr. Julia Hoffman.

The images — which are not yet available on Vanity Fair's website but you can see here — are nothing we haven't seen before. But hey, at least it means Warner Bros. is doing some promo, right?

Taking a close look at the portraits — and, really, we might as well, because there isn't much other "DS" material to stan over — it's striking just how close Burton and costume designer Colleen Atwood have kept Depp's big-screen styling to the Barnabas that "Shadows" series creator Dan Curtis developed for actor Jonathan Frid all the way back in 1967. The more we see of Depp in character, the more we're reminded of Frid, who also appears in the film.

"Johnny's very open about what things are in the process, but he really lets people present things to him. He never really pushes at all," Atwood told MTV News late last year about Depp's costuming for "Shadows."

"Sometimes he doesn't even look in the mirror in his fittings. It's so funny. It's pretty amazing. People would be surprised, because I think they have this image of Johnny, because he's so stylish always, but he really feels his costumes, more than looks at them, and the movement and the feeling in them is really important."

From the hair and pale, monstrous makeup to the penchant for 18th-century bling, it's kind of amazing how closely Burton is hewing to the look already established for the characters in the late-'60s series. And that's true of nearly all the key players in his adaptation: He's taken famed brunette Eva Green blonde, as Angelique (played by Lara Parker) was on the show, given Bonham Carter's eccentric Dr. Julia Hoffman the same sweeping '60s 'do worn by Grayson Hall and has Pfeiffer sporting dark, regal ensembles similar to those worn by Joan Bennett to play Elizabeth Collins Stoddard.

One notable exception is Chloë Moretz, who plays Carolyn Stoddard in Burton's "Shadows." In both the original '60s soap and the short-lived early '90s revamp, Carolyn is portrayed as being in her early 20s, but Moretz's Carolyn will be, like the actress in real life, 15 years old.

Indeed, Burton made a command decision to avoid the sexy vampire cliché that has become pervasive in movies these days. That he did so when his star is arguably one of the sexiest movie stars on the planet is especially commendable. Depp is far from what we deem traditionally sexy, but we still think he's weirdly alluring. Such is the power of the Depp, we suppose.

What do you think of these latest character portraits? Are you weirdly drawn to Johnny Depp's Barnabus too? Let us know in the comments below and tweet me at @JohnMitchell83 with your thoughts and suggestions for future columns!

These two girls are everywhere and I think it is fantastic. Ever since they made their debut on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Rosie and Sophia Grace have been everywhere, literally. These two young girls are so talented, adorable and are going to be taking the Hollywood music world by storm, especially if Ellen has anything to say about it. They have so far been to The Grammy?s, the American Music Awards, Disneyland and of course the hit daytime talk show a number of times. Now that may not seem like much but you have to remember the world was first introduced to these girls less than six months ago. It is actually like four or five months ago, yet they have met some of the most famous people in the music biz, not bad for a couple of kids from England.

<P>As <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/knowles_beyonce/artist.jhtml">Beyonc&#233;</a> settles into the role of <a href="/news/articles/1677997/beyonce-motherhood-business.jhtml">motherhood</a>, she's attached to another role &#8212; this one for the big screen. The pop singer is reportedly in talks to join Ryan Murphy's latest flick. Billed as "One Hit Wonders," the film would be a musical comedy that could potentially star B's pal Gwyneth Paltrow, as well as Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz and "Saturday Night Live" star Andy Samberg. The film would follow Paltrow, Witherspoon and Diaz as pop stars who hit it big in the '90s as &#8212; you guessed it &#8212; one-hit wonders. In order to gain back some of the pop-star recognition they once had, the ladies join forces and form a supergroup. Samberg and his Lonely Island team would be involved in coming up with the movie's songs. Beyonc&#233;'s role is still unknown. The "Glee" creator would direct and co-write the screenplay with his frequent collaborators, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan. He's expected to begin work on it after his big-screen adaptation of the play "The Normal Heart." <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2012/02/ryan-murphy-plans-one-hit-wonders-with-gwyneth-paltrow-reese-witherspoon-cameron-diaz-beyonce-and-andy-samberg/" target="_blank">Deadline</a> reports that the film's idea came after Paltrow, Witherspoon and Diaz dined with Murphy at New York hotspot Soho House and they all wanted to work on a fun project together. The pitch to Sony Pictures chief Amy Pascal was reportedly scooped up in 10 minutes. Deals are currently being worked out. MTV News' email to Murphy's rep had not been returned by press time. Regardless of how this film shakes out, Beyonc&#233; is reportedly already thinking about her music career again. Producer Ryan Tedder shared that the singer is prepping several <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/02/14/beyonce-prepping-two-new-albums">follow-up albums</a> to <a href="/news/articles/1665479/beyonce-4-leak.jhtml">2011's <i>4.</i></a> "The conversations about her next album literally just started and there [are] two projects happening. All I can say is, you kind of feed her the best that you have, and she's this phenomenal filter and she takes it all in." One of those albums may be the soundtrack for the upcoming Clint Eastwood film "A Star Is Born," which the singer is also attached to star in. <b>For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more &#8212; updated around the clock &#8212; visit <a href="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/">MTVMoviesBlog.com</a>.</b></p>

<P>Britney Spears spent the weekend celebrating her <a href="/news/articles/1676120/britney-spears-is-engaged.jhtml">engagement to Jason Trawick</a> in Las Vegas with friends and family. On Friday, hours after the news of their impending marriage was confirmed, the singer took to her Facebook page to make it official, changing her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/britney" target="_blank">relationship status</a> to "engaged." </p><div class="player-placeholder right" id="vid:720382" width="240" height="211"></div><p> She also shared with her fans on Twitter just how excited she is to be tying the knot with longtime boyfriend Trawick. "Still glowing!" she <a href="http://twitter.com/britneyspears" target="_blank">wrote</a>. "About to jump on a plane to Planet Hollywood in Vegas. Throwing a Bday Party for Jason at Chateau Night Club. So fun. Xxoo. And celebrate they did. <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20554744,00.html" target="_blank">People.com</a> reported that the couple and her two sons checked into Planet Hollywood before making their first public appearance since the news broke. Spears rocked not only a body-hugging Herv&#233; L&#233;ger bandage dress, but also her Neil Lane engagement ring. The couple shared dinner and dancing at two Sin City hotspots, Sugar Factory's Chocolate Lounge and Paris' Chateau Nightclub. "Tonight was one of the most magical nights of my life," she later wrote on Twitter. "Such an amazing time with my new fiance and our closest friends and family. #Blessed" While Spears was celebrating, her ex-husband Kevin Federline sent out his well-wishes. "I'm really happy for her &#8212; I think he's a great guy," he told <a href="http://tvweek.ninemsn.com.au/blog.aspx?blogentryid=963715&showcomments=true" target="_blank"><i>TV Week</i> magazine</a> while filming the reality show "Excess Baggage" in Australia. "She's happy; she's doing really well. I want to say she's in a good place. I haven't spoken to her much since I've been over here, both of us have been busy with her being on tour, but I do know from talking to the kids and talking to the kids' teachers that they're doing really good. It's a good step in the right direction. I'm totally happy for her." And Federline doesn't seem to have any hard feelings toward Trawick. "He's a really good guy, I've heard a lot about him," he added. "I've spoken to him quite a few times as of now. He seems like a really good guy. The kids speak highly of him [and] her family loves him." <div style="background-color:#000000;width:428px;"><div style="padding:4px;"><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:702567/cp~id%3D1672881%26vid%3D702567%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A702567" width="420" height="236" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="." flashVars=""></embed></div></div> <i>Share your well-wishes for Britney and Jason in the comments!</i></p>

Taylor Swift 'Fascinated' By Acting

'I would want to have the time, the ability and the love for something,' she tells MTV News of choosing roles.

Although pop/country superstar Taylor Swift has her hands full with a very successful music career — be it grabbing Grammys or working on a song for the "Hunger Games" soundtrack, don't rule her out for a full-fledged crossover into acting.

Swift recently went from recording songs to sound effects when she took on the role of Audrey in "The Lorax."

"What people don't think about with character acting in the voice-over form [is] you're making a lot of sounds," Swift told MTV News recently about her experience in the latest Dr. Seuss movie, which also features the voices of Zac Efron, Betty White and Danny DeVito. "It's very different from when you're singing songs that you wrote. With this, you're sitting there in a booth by yourself having conversations with no one."

The cast of the movie recorded their parts in different places, which made acting out dialogue even more of a challenge. But a part in "The Lorax" seems to be a premeditated change of pace for the pop star. "Acting is something I've been fascinated by my entire life," she said.

The singer said she has been reading scripts in her free time for the past five years but hasn't been quick to accept a role. "I would want to have the time, the ability and the love for something, the love for a character to where I could really make that commitment to it."

Taylor is known for writing lyrics that reveal her feelings about love and heartbreak, and you can probably expect the same passion if she makes a move to the big screen.

Check out everything we've got on "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax."
