The Alexa Chung Show Hits MTV US In June!

PopSugarUK — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 23:45:03 -0700

We already know that Alexa Chung is to move to New York to build a career in the States, but now we have a few more details on exactly what she's heading over there to do!

Alexa will have her own live daytime show on MTV - airing at midday on weekdays from June 15 - which will apparently follow in the footsteps of TRL. That show ended in November 2008 after running for ten years, filmed live in Times Square.

The Alexa Chung Show will be a "mix of celebrity talk, music and online interaction with viewers" and was picked out as one of the highlights of MTV's new season of programmes during a presentation to advertisers in New York this week. Audience members will also be encouraged to communicate their reactions to the shows by using social networking sites Facebook and Twitter.

Lets hope that MTV UK also shows the programme, as we'll miss Alexa on our British TV screens!

TV Tonight: Farewell, TRL

BuzzSugar — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 07:30:47 -0800

Today, MTV bids farewell to a onetime pop culture behemoth: TRL. Not long ago, you all shared your memories of the video request show, which ranged from Jesse Camp to Mariah Carey's Popsicles to drooling over the Backstreet Boys. For tonight's special, some of the people involved with the show will be stopping by to do a little reminiscing of their own.

The two-hour "Total Finale Live" episode features host Carson Daly returning for what he's called his "high school reunion." Joining the fun: the Backstreet Boys, Fall Out Boy, and Justin Timberlake, among others. Mariah Carey will swing by the studio; Beyonce and 50 Cent will be among the performers; Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, and Nelly will collaborate for a special performance; and Daly hinted that even more special guests could swing by at showtime.

It's only appropriate to bring back the VJs, too, and so Lyndsey Rodrigues, Vanessa Minnillo, Dave Holmes, Jesse Camp, Hilarie Burton, La La Vasquez, and Quddus will join TRL-ers Carson Daly and Damien Fahey in the studio. With all of that going on, I wonder if they'll have time to play any videos?

The episode will air at 8 p.m. EST (check your local listings elsewhere) tonight. Will you be tuning in for one last look at TRL? After the jump, you'll find a video from MTV telling everything you need to know about the rise and fall of TRL in 60 seconds. To check it out, just read more.

Paul and Seann Show Off Their Model Behavior

PopSugar — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 13:30:53 -0800

Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott headed to TRL yesterday to promote their new movie Role Models. Paul rocked his Obama t-shirt for the many photo ops, before his candidate got elected last night. He'll also be taking on hosting duties for SNL next weekend, though lots of you are on the fence about whether or not you'll be tuning in after the election. Either way, the movie opens on Friday and is already getting good reviews - be sure to check back to see what Buzz had to say about Paul and Seann as a comedy team.

Buzz In: What Are Your Memories of TRL?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 12:32:12 -0700

MTV's TRL is about to call it quits - at least for a while - after 10 years on the air. A decade! Just think of it: Ten years ago, the airwaves were filled with boy bands like Backstreet Boys version 1.0, Britney Spears's "Baby One More Time" wasn't even on the radio yet, and I couldn't have picked original TRL host Carson Daly out of a lineup.

The show, which will end with a two-hour special on a Saturday sometime in November, has brought us many memorable moments over the years, from teenyboppers screaming in Times Square to celebrity highs and, uh, lows (three words: Mariah Carey, Popsicles). I was never the most devoted viewer of TRL, but it definitely had a place in my late-high school, early-college years, alongside Dawson's Creek and Blind Date.

As the show winds down, I'm wondering about your memories of TRL. Were you a frequent viewer, or did you tune in only when you were interested in the guests? Do any TRL moments stand out in your mind? And did you ever (totally) request anything live?

James McAvoy: First Wanted and Now Totally Requested

PopSugarUK — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 06:00:00 -0700

James McAvoy got a loud and excited reception when he arrived at MTV's TRL yesterday, saying he had "the best reception of his career" as he walked into the studio. The Scottish hunk is still out and about promoting Wanted and he has happily admitted that he enjoyed being beaten up by Angelina Jolie in the role:

"I really enjoyed the fight scenes, especially with Angelina. There's a certain amount of satisfaction that comes from taking a hit in the face and thankfully I took a lot."

Wanted is out now in the UK, and it comes out on Friday in the US. Will you go and see James playing a fit hitman this weekend?

Charlize the Non-Diva Joins Will and Jason on TRL

PopSugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:01:00 -0700

The stars of Hancock swung by TRL in NYC yesterday to ham it up for MTV. Will Smith and Charlize Theron had a little fun at Jason Bateman's expense, but that sounds like the hardest time she's willing to give anyone. She recently said, "I'm lazy and to be a diva takes a lot of energy and so that's why I don't do it. . . it's a lot of work to be a diva. People forget. It's hard to yell at people and it's really hard to hit them. If I had more energy I would do it." One place she hasn't seemed lazy recently is her stunning red carpet premiere looks.

PopSugar — Sat, 24 May 2008 08:03:37 -0700

Liv Tyler stopped by TRL earlier this week to promote The Hulk, looking cute and happy in a simple black dress. This hasn't been the best month for her, between splitting with her husband and her dad's trip to rehab, but that hasn't stopped Liv from smiling and looking fab for her recent press appearances. Liv will also be presenting at the MTV Movie Awards on June 1st, which means she will be taking home an awesome gift bag filled with all kinds of amazing goodies. Jealous? Stay tuned to find out how you can enter to win one too!

Shia and Harrison Share Their Mutual Man Crushes

PopSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 12:30:00 -0700

Fresh off their stint in Cannes, Shia LaBeouf and Harrison Ford took their side-by-side promotional tour back to the states for a trip to TRL yesterday before the big NYC premiere. Shia looked all cleaned up with his short hair and cardigan while Mr. Indiana Jones wasn't looking too shabby himself. With Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull only one day away, the boys are laughing it up together and raving about how much they've learned from one another. Here are highlights from an interview at the Cannes premiere:

Harrison on Shia: "He has an enormous talent. He had some very archaic skills to acquire and he worked really hard. He will be around for a long, long time."
Shia on Harrison: "Even if you're welcome the scope is daunting and you have to get past that Harrison is Harrison – that's very scary. We started by jumping right into stunts and you find this mutual respect with Harrison who doesn't warm easy. And when we became friends everything became easier."

Considering Buzz's review and how obvious it is that these boys know how to have fun together, we can't wait to see Shia show off his sidekick skills when the movie hits theaters this weekend.

Cameron and Ashton Too Tuckered Out for Gala After TRL

Molly — Tue, 06 May 2008 04:04:00 -0700

Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher hammed it up with lots of smiles and laughs stopping by TRL yesterday afternoon. After a long day of TV appearances, neither half of this What Happens in Vegas duo made it out to last night's big huge A-List event, the Costume Institute Gala. Ashton and his fashionable wife were surprisingly not on the expected attendee list, but Cameron was set to be dressed by Dior for the night. Considering her emotional month, can't blame Cam for wanting to skip out on a red carpet or two but after last year's stunning look we were looking forward to seeing what she pulled out this year. Hey, we'll take what we can get and seeing her smiles back again are more than good enough.
