- Hunter Parrish's New Single: The Story Behind The Sound
How about some Hunter Parrish news to brighten your day? The multi-talented actor/musician has just unveiled his first official single, "Sitting At Home," which is now available to download via iTunes. Go ahead, give it a listen. We challenge you to not get the catchy tune stuck in your head.
MTV News was lucky enough to sit down with the very humble charmer recently to get some inside info on the story behind the music, which despite the "newness" of this single, he's been working on since he was just 14 years old.
"I didn't really feel comfortable sharing it, I wasn't confident in it, I'd share little pieces," Hunter explained of his road to recording. "I've written probably over 200 songs that have a verse and a chorus and that's it. I feel like a lot of people are in that place," he added with a smile. "Then I was able to sing publicly and as part of my acting career and so people are like, 'Well do you want to do this?' and [I said] 'Well actually I already do, I just don't know how to have confidence in it.'"
Hunter went on to say that he's getting to a good place in sharing his music with others, particularly after meeting a few guiding lights — or cheerleaders, so to speak.
"I've met a couple extraordinary people who have kind of helped light the fire under my butt and showed me to have confidence with what I want to do and stories I want to tell," he said. "I'm still terrified, very terrified actually, but I think day by day and piece by piece I can feel more comfortable with it and I'm really glad people are enjoying the single and the EP's coming out so we will see where it goes from there."
The "Weeds" actor hopes to be able to balance his career with work in both music and in television and film.
"I started doing music the same time professionally with acting and so that's always been 50/50 for me and then I came to LA and I got 'Weeds' and some other films and that kind of took off and became my priority because it had to be," he said. "I was still doing the music, just not publicly and so now I feel like I kind of want to balance that percentage out again and to be 50/50 [with acting and making music]."
Hunter added that he plans to keep making music, no matter what.
"I don't know if I really fit into today's music world, the fans will have to I guess make that [call]," he said. "But I'm going to tell the story I want to tell with my music and write the music I want to write and if people like it and respond to it then great. If they choose to play it on the radio I'd be really excited about that," he said, flashing another killer smile. "But I'm not going to write for that. I just want to have this outlet for me."

Переслать - 'Breaking Dawn' Teaser Offers A Teensy Taste Of Vampire Drama
Grab ahold of something, "Twilight" lovers, because you're about to have the best thirteen seconds of your life! ...That is, at least until tomorrow morning when the full teaser trailer for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2" hits the interwebs. But there's still, like, a lot of hours between now and then! So for now, you should relax and enjoy this preview glimpse of the early teaser for the final chapter of the "Twilight" saga that we've all been waiting for — a sneak peek AT the sneak peek, if you will.
So, what's in store for audiences in this long-awaited tease? For one, it looks like the Vampire Bella thing is officially old hat; after the super-early teaser that showed her transformation in bits and pieces (including that super-creepy between-the-trees shot of the newly minted ladyvamp stalking an unfortunate deer), the buzz has moved on to plot! And although there's gotta be more to it, this mini-glimpse seems to sum up the problem at hand nicely: the baby is birthed, the Volturi are coming, and hoo boy, they are cheesed.
"They think Renesmee's an immortal child," Edward gasps.
"She was born, not bitten!" Bella cries indignantly, but that's not enough to keep the angry ancients at bay, and there will be a bad-ass confrontation between Volturi and Cullens in a snow-covered field as they bicker over the newborn's parentage.
Still not clear: whether we'll actually get a look at Mackenzie Foy as Renesmee in this advance peek at the movie, especially since the newest addition to the Cullen family still looks pretty small in the microsecond-long glimpse that we do see of her (and by "her", we mean "a blanket") in this mini-clip. Think the teaser will deliver? We'll be debating it for at least the next... let's see... twenty hours!
Are you even more psyched to see the "Breaking Dawn" teaser now that you've had this little taste?
Переслать - 'Fifty Shades': Casting Christian And Ana (Part 2)
It's my turn in the (heh) Red Room of Pain today, as Hollywood Crush keeps on with the very important job of picking two favorite actors to serve as flogger and floggee in the hotly anticipated "Fifty Shades of Grey." And while previous picks might have been done on the basis of sheer sexiness, I'm looking at a pair of talented thespians who promise to bring some serious street cred (like, Academy Award-winning street cred) to this sordid tale of sadomasochistic romance.
I'm making my case for Christian Bale and Anna Kendrick!
Christian as Christian
Apart from the obvious reasons to cast the Dark Knight in this sado-romantic lead (among them: DUH, his name is Christian! He's, like, 85 percent of the way there already!), Christian Bale has a remarkable history of playing tormented, tortured characters who are oh-so-in-touch with their secret inner darkness, and he takes his work very, very seriously. And whoever plays Christian Grey, he's gotta sell the darkness, and sell it hard. Without the proper actor in this role, the sadist billionaire's peculiar motivations won't seem genuine—and with the wrong one, things could get pretty hokey pretty fast and send the movie tanking. Add in the fact that we already know he can play a stark-naked scene whilst wielding a weapon (hello, "American Psycho"!), and he's every inch my pick for Christian Grey. And by "every inch," I mean... well, YOU KNOW.Anna as Ana
I swear I didn't set out to pick actors with the same (or same-ish) names as their "Fifty Shades" characters, but hey, look how nicely that worked out! Anna Kendrick has just the right wide-eyed look to play the easily seduced Ana, and we know she can hold her own in subtle roles alongside a larger-than-life male lead, from her Oscar-nominated performance in "Up in the Air" to her surprisingly memorable turn as a high school student in the "Twilight" films. And while I wouldn't go so far as to say that she could use a good spanking, taking on such a sexually-charged role could be an enjoyable and totally different experience from her usual projects.Don't agree with my picks for Christian and Ana? Stay tuned all week as we reveal new pairs each day!

Переслать - 'Fifty Shades': Casting Christian And Ana (Part 1)
Next to "Catching Fire" Adonis Finnick Odair, the most anticipated casting announcement in Hollywood seems to be who will play lovers Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in the big-screen adaptation of E.L. James' kinky novel "Fifty Shades of Grey." And for good reason. The roles call for two incredibly attractive actors who don't mind being incredibly naked. A lot.
It's the kind of saucy stuff speculation is made for, and Hollywood Crush is stepping into the storied Red Room of Pain, as each day this week a different MTV staffer will share her picks for the billionaire babe and the lady who loves him.
Today, I'm kicking things off with "True Blood" actor Alexander Skarsgård and "Like Crazy" actress Felicity Jones!
Alexander as Christian
Uncharacteristically, I'm not particularly beholden to one actor or another for the role of Christian. I could see a number of stars—from Ian Somerhalder to Ryan Gosling—filling out the hunk's well-worn denim. But I'm giving a slight advantage to my favorite "True Blood" star, because after four-plus seasons of the HBO series, we know exactly what he's capable of. I mean, the guy made container-storage sex with his sort-of sister inexplicably hot. As Viking vampire Eric Northman, Alexander exudes a cool and confident demeanor that belies some pretty intense heat. And I'm ready to burn.Felicity as Ana
Felicity broke out last year in the romantic drama "Like Crazy," but it was her turn as a naive tomboy in the less buzzy rom-com "Chalet Girl" that has me thinking she'd be a smashing Ana. At 28, Felicity can easily pass for a woman in her early twenties, and it's this inherent innocence that will play well as a shy newcomer to the world of S&M. And with her new, darker locks, she fits my mental image of Ana perfectly.Don't agree with my picks for Christian and Ana? Stay tuned all week as we reveal new pairs each day!

Переслать - Cam Gigandet Joins Catherine Hardwicke's New Thriller
Aww, look! It's a teeny-tiny "Twilight" reunion on Catherine Hardwicke's new thriller-in-production, "Plush."
Variety is reporting that Cam Gigandet, who played a villainous vampire in the very first "Twilight" film, is officially on board for the male lead in this new supernatural suspense movie. Cam will play opposite Emily Browning, portraying a psychic psychologist who sees into his patients' pasts in order to help them heal. (So, in other words, he's probably the only psychologist in the world who neither needs nor wants you to tell him more about How That Makes You Feel, right? You could just lie on the couch and let him dig around in your head! And even take a nap, probably!)
No word on whether Cam went through the normal audition process for his upcoming role or whether Catherine saw something in his performance as sadistic tracker James to make him a likely candidate, but it's exciting to see the two flicks-in-Forks alums back in business together! And since this story looks to be a bit more mature than their recent projects—the last film we saw Catherine direct was the sexy revamp of kiddie tale "Red Riding Hood," and Cam has been making a name for himself on teen fare like "The Roommate" and "Easy A"—we're psyched to see how the two collaborate on something supernatural for the more grownup set.

Переслать - 'Girls' Season 1 Finale Recap: 'She Did'
Jessa tied the knot and Adam said, "I love you." Was it all an opium-tea-induced hallucination? Nope, just the oddball season finale of "Girls."
The episode opened with Marnie moving her things out of the apartment she shared with Hannah and holing up temporarily with Shoshanna. Hannah wondered who would replace Marnie, and boyfriend Adam unexpectedly offered his services. More on that to come.
Despite her unease with "word alerts," Jessa seemed to have perfected the finer art of the mass text, as she demanded all of her friends attend the most important party of her life. As we soon discovered, the surprise party was actually a wedding. And the groom? Well, it's none other than Thomas John, the guy whom Jessa and Marnie almost had a threesome with. Yep. Yep. Apparently they reunited and she fell for his talk of finance and travel, and she vowed to spend the rest of her life loving him. The show of sentiment moved Adam so much that he got a little misty-eyed.
But his romantical mood wasn't to be for long.
Hannah ran into former boyfriend Elijah at the reception, and not only did he admit to giving Hannah HPV, but he agreed to move in to her spare room. I mean, they both have HPV already. How convenient! But when Hannah told Adam about her new roomie, he was outraged. He loved her and wanted to be with her. He hadn't agreed to move in out of obligation. Adam had fallen hard, and Hannah just didn't understand.
The spur-of-the-moment ceremony left Shoshanna out of sorts, especially since she had unwittingly committed the cardinal wedding faux pas of wearing white. Ray, her one-time crack spirit guide, attempted to console her, eventually admitting that he was totally smitten with her, strange vibrations and all. He wanted to go home with her that night. And she agreed, but only if he stayed out of her emotional way. But once the two were under the sheets and the subject of Shoshanna's virginity came up, it looked as though Ray might not be up for the task, seeing as it would be a lot of power to essentially teach someone how to get it on. But Ray fancies himself, if nothing else, a powerful guy, so he met the challenge head on.
Marnie was in a weird mood too, running into ex Charlie at the ceremony and joking about having sex in the bathroom. Or were they joking? It looked, however, like it would be the kooky officiant (played by Bobby Moynihan), whom Marnie would go home with.
Things didn't get any better for Hannah and Adam as she followed him outside to discuss their relationship. Adam stood in the middle of the street as they argued, and, as you may have seen coming, was hit by a van—a cheap trick that felt unnecessary. He refused to let Hannah accompany him in the ambulance to the hospital, and instead of calling a cab to meet him there, she got on the subway and headed for home. Except, she fell asleep, had her purse snatched and woke up at the end of the line in Coney Island, where she wandered onto the beach and noshed on a piece of leftover wedding cake.
*End season*

Переслать - 'True Blood' Recap: 'Authority Always Wins'
It was all about the vampires in this week's visit to Bon Temps, with the Authority out for blood, Tara out for revenge and Steve Newlin out for a sweet, sweet taste of Jason Stackhouse. Here's what transpired on last night's "True Blood"!
Tara's (Re)turn
For a while, it looks like Tara's turning has gone as badly as everyone feared—she's like a furious, feral animal, and Pam isn't sticking around to give her a newbie vampire orientation. But after a sleepless night of flashing and smashing her way through Sookie's house (seriously, Sook, just don't ever bother cleaning up your kitchen again), and a restorative daytime nap in the leftover cubby from Eric's residency (during which a tearful Lafayette almost mercy-stakes her), Tara appears looking more like herself.Which is to say, pissed.
"I will never forgive either of you," she says, flatly, and then tears away into the night.
This would be a good time for a makerly intervention for the newborn babyvamp, but Pam has other things on her mind: for one, an emotional recollection of her very first meeting with the man who became her maker. Flash back to turn-of-the-century San Francisco, where Pam is a hard-as-nails madame in a Victorian brothel. After a rough night at work—one of her girls is found dead, presumably by vampire—she walks home through the gas-lit streets and is attacked by a man wielding a knife...who is promptly squelched by a rescuing gentleman, who is ERIC NORTHMAN IN A TOP HAT. (Let's all pause a moment to fan ourselves, shall we?)
We don't see the presumed outcome of this meeting, but it's enough to wake Pam up feeling very, very sad. Because where is Eric? We know! But first, let's talk about the folks who are...
Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places
Meanwhile, our new, old favorite character Reverend Newlin is putting all his energy into scoring with Jason Stackhouse, showing up at Jessica's house with an offer of $10,000 for a shot at the golden boy. Jessica haggles him up to twice that price before delivering a shame blow: "I don't sell my friends!"On the other hand, Jason might just need some extra protection from a second pair of fangs before this season is out: his attempts to make up with Hoyt are causing friction, and the furious son of a woman Jason slept with shows up at the police station to punch him in the face. Is Jason's wayward wiener about to get him in trouble again? Or more to the point: Will we ever see the magical day when Jason's wayward wiener doesn't get him in trouble?
And Jason's not the only one whose romantic life is taking a turn for the worst...or the weird. Andy confesses that Holly hasn't spoken to him since their interrupted tryst; Terry's hard-won happiness with Arlene and the kids is being threatened by the Devins-inspired recurrence of his PTSD; and Sam Merlotte, still bloody from his ordeal with the wolfpack, gets kicked out of the house by Luna after showing a flash of sympathy for Mama Bozeman's plea to see her grandchild. Is it over between them? Er, probably not. Prickly as she is, Luna's going to need some emotional support now that Emma has officially wolfed out. (And if you were wondering when "True Blood" was going to pause the grit and gore to give us something cute, well, here you go: a wolf cub in pajamas. Aww.)
A Lesson in Respecting Authority
And finally, the heart of this episode: a visit to the secret underground headquarters of the Authority! Bill, Eric and Nora have gone from would-be runaways to unhappy captives, where they're imprisoned intanning boothstorture cells and then interrogated by two high-ranking members of the vampire elite. The primary purpose of this scene? To give us a lesson in Vampyr Biblical Studies, which goes something like this: God is a vampire who created Adam and Eve not in his image, but to serve as tasty treats for the first vampire, Lilith. Which is why, thousands of years later, the vampire community's fundamentalist nutjobs keep trying to sell the people-as-Popsicles approach to vampire-human relations. Well! That explains that! And lo and behold, it's Christopher Meloni in his long-awaited appearance as The Guardian, looking delightful in a tailored suit and (naturally) blood-red tie.The Authority is understandably peeved at Nora's betrayal and Nan's death, and it looks like a staking is in order for all involved...until Bill offers an exchange: their lives for the delivery of Russell Edgington. It's his last card, but it's a good one; the only thing the Authority hates more than a non-compliant traitor is a threat to the mainstreaming of their race, and Russell—with his penchant for ripping out spinal columns and all—is the biggest threat of all. Especially now that...
*cut to a blood-soaked gurney where the convalescing, crackly-faced Russell opens his eyes on cue*
...he's baaaaaaack!
