Marion Cotillard Comes Clean... Or Does She?

Marion Cotillard was faced with a tough assignment when doing the press for The Dark Knight Rises. She played Talia Al Ghul, the real villain in the movie. But she was given the cover role of Miranda Tate, Wayne Enterprise board member to protect the secrecy of the role. But that meant that she had to lie to any press member who asked her about her character or the movie itself. MTV Splash Page host Josh Horowitz sat down with her recently and pulled out his Ipad to show her how she bold face lied to him, and the results are kind of hilarious. Probably not what Horowitz was expecting... and good to see that Cotillard could be a good sport about the whole thing. Cool video after the jump...

Kermit & Walter Pop Shit About Jason Segel...

Earlier this week Jason Segel made some comments where he distanced himself from particpating in another Muppet movie so quickly. He cited his love for the Muppets but the need to get involved in other things. Usually something like this would just garner an "aw man" type response from others involved in the film. But not the Muppets... if you didn't already know, they are kind of outspoken. Kermit & Walter were recently interviewed by MTV, and they lobbed jokes about Segel's height and how he discovered Walter. It was all in good fun, but Kermit's deadpan is just amazing. A funny short clip, especially for all you Muppet enthusiasts out there (I'm looking at you Jedi Rob & Jeffy). Enjoy the clip after the jump...

Remember That Time That Tommy Lombardozzi Designed Character Cut Outs For The Fantastic Four Movie Premiere?

I have a friend that works as a producer at MTV. Back in the Spring of 2005, when I was pretty new at doing freelance illustration, he had asked me if I wanted to do drawings of the Fantastic Four that would adorn the set of their upcoming Fantastic Four movie premiere special. Of course I said yes!


The idea was that my drawings would be blown up, life-sized, and then made into big placards that would accompany the actors playing the specific parts. I was excited because I was going to be able to go to the filming of the show and meet "The Commish" himself, Michael Chiklis! (I was also a fan of his because he played Belushi in the not-very-good adaptation of Bob Woodward's Belushi biography, 'Wired'. I didn't like the movie, but I thought Chiklis did a great job.) Plus, I'd get to meet that sweet piece, Jessica Alba. MING!

Anyway, I worked on the drawings for a few weeks, went to the MTV art offices here and there, and finished up. The art director liked 'em, so, all was good. I got paid (a pretty good sum that got chopped in half after they took the fucking freelance taxes out! Crap!) and I awaited the next step.

Several weeks later, they called me and told me that they'd decided to use photographs of the actors in character instead of my traditionally drawn comicbook-style FF. Made sense, I guess... but I didn't get to go to the show. Bah. So, in the end, I made a few bucks and got this not-very-exciting story out of the experience. Well, enjoy the drawings, kids.

There are two Things... which one do you prefer?

Wu Tang Wednesday: The Challenges Of Interviewing Old Dirty Bastard

This is an amazing behind the scenes clip of Old Dirty Bastard being interviewed by MTV's John Norris... better yet, this shows the challenges that a guy like Norris must have faced trying to compile two minutes of usable material while trying to interview a maniac like ODB. "I remember the nigga that was riding the bike in the sky..." "Keep it good kids... keep it good, cause you know I'm gonna love you forever!" Wow... unreal. This man was truly a complete nutjob. He was a musical genius, and I appreciate his work even more when you realize he did all of that despite of his craziness. I miss ODB. He was taken far to soon. Enjoy this interview and remember the good times. Ason Jones, you my man for life!!!!
