• Jack Black said Brangelina forgave him for spilling the beans about their fetus twins because they didn't want to hold in their secret any longer. Because they were staying quiet against their will? [ICYDK]

The MTV Movie Awards were held last night, and I admittedly couldn't bring myself to sit through the hours-long crapfest. Just by looking at the pictures (after the jump), it's obvious I didn't miss much.

Anyone care to share exciting stories from the show (if you decided to punish yourself last night)?

Here's the clip from the Angelina Jolie-Jack Black interview in which she confirms she is indeed carrying twins. It's not exactly shocking, but it's the most personality we've seen out of Angie ever, and the look on Jack's face when he realizes he let the cat out of the bag is priceless.

Thanks to Jack Black, who has no interest in playing coy to spite Us Weekly and TMZ, Angelina Jolie has finally confirmed that she is indeed pregnant with twins.

In an interview to air on Access Hollywood tonight, Jack, who is promoting the new movie Kung Fu Panda at the Cannes Film Festival with Angie, inadvertently let the news slip; that, in turn, forced her to admit what the tabloids told everyone from the start of her pregnancy. Don't underestimate the powers of the tabs, Ang. They are creepier than one might expect.

Here's the trailer for Tropic Thunder, the upcoming comedy starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Nick Nolte and Robert Downey Jr, who, as you can see, is featured in blackface.

We've been worrying for a couple weeks that the blackface element might ruin a perfectly bad movie, but – and we're loath to admit this – we kinda, sorta don't mind it anymore. We even giggled at the line, "Man, just because it's a theme song don't make it not true."

Crisis: what to hate on now? Where's our steadfast indignation? How about we get disgusted about a war comedy during actual wartime? Yeah, that's the ticket. War isn't funny.

Though we're still not sure we're 100 percent at ease with it, there are two mitigating factors to consider before getting angry about Robert Downey Jr's turn in blackface in the upcoming film Tropic Thunder: 1) he looks authentically black, not cartoony and 2) when not in blackface, he's practically in whiteface. See what we mean after the jump.

Leave it to YouTube to lead a moral crusade against Jack Black. Some old school Nickelodeon fans are up in arms because Black's new movie, Be Kind Rewind, greatly resembles an episode of The Amanda Show circa 1999. It weirds us out that anyone remembers that, and we're even more bothered that someone cared enough to make a video for YouTube about it.

Right when you think Hollywood is choking to death on her own masturbatory, self-absorbed pretension, something like this comes along and lets you know things will be alright–if only for a few more minutes.

Here's Jack Black and Kyle Gass (Tenacious D) landing at LAX after playing a Canadian show the night before. Finally, no swatting of paparazzi, no hiding of faces, no constant couture. These guys are goofing off for the cameras and a resigning to the fact that, if you're fat, it's comfortable to wear cutoff sweats when you travel.

See, it seems to me that Tenacious D understand one major thing that their contemporaries don't: these days, being a commercially successful actor in Hollywood means that you are augmented from actor to entertainer. In other words, people are expecting you to be "on" most of the time, and they're gonna jam cameras into your face everywhere you go. Is that fair? Not really. But a lot of people would consider the money and luxuries granted to celebrities reasonable compensation for the annoyance. Anyway, that's not really the point.

The point is go with it. Many have learned the hard way that you're not gonna beat the paparazzi into submission and you're not gonna get anywhere with the self-loathing shtick ("Our celebrity obsessed culture sickens me!") Instead of getting pissed, thank the flight attendants in first class for being nice to you and then do a funny little dance in the terminal before getting into your limo. It's easy, it's gracious and it's rational.

Leonardo DiCaprio says that he almost gave up acting following Titanic, lamenting that the wild success of the film catapulted him to sex-symbol status, an image he hated.

DiCaprio was back to being considered a "another piece of cute meat" after the 1997 film's spectacular box office success, an image he had wanted to get away after his days on the cover of teen magazines, he told Newsweek for editions on newsstands Monday.

"It was pretty disheartening to be objectified like that. I wanted to stop acting for a little bit," he said at the magazine's Oscar panel discussion with other actors. "It changed my life in a lot of ways, but at the same time, I can't say that it didn't give me opportunities. It made me, for the first time, in control of my career."

As a guy who took three different dates to see Titanic (that's nine hours of Leo), I can tell you that after that movie I, too, wanted him to quit. In the off chance that any 16-year-old boys are reading this, heed this advice: NEVER take a high school date to see a movie in which the star is handsomer than you, more sexually experienced than you or willing to make sacrifices for love that you can't even imagine. If he's all three and the movie is epic, you're practically begging your lady friend to fall in love with that artistic stowaway and forget that you're the one who just shelled out $35 of your Dad's money for the evening. After all three of the dates I had to deal with tears and a deluge of questions about emotions I didn't even know I had.

I think I speak for everyone who has once been a self-conscious teenage boy when I say that I'm glad Leo has moved on to doing great things like The Departed, and left the date movies to Jack Black.

Congratulations to Jack Black and wife on the birth of their son last week in Los Angeles. It's all so happy and adorable that I would have to be a pretty big asshole to take this time to declare Nacho Libre in the running for the worst looking movie ever. Big asshole.

Since there is no reported name for Black's new baby, I'm going to call the child Sonic Death Monkey. US Weekly has some adorable quotes on Sonic Death Monkey from the new daddy himself:

“It feels good,” says Black. “I’m going to be the best daddy on the planet and I’m going to enter the best daddy competition. And I’m going to win it.

“I’m already having headaches and am going, ‘Where is he going to pre-school? Am I going to put cameras in every room of my house to spy on babysitters to make sure they don’t shake the baby?’ ” He joked, “I love videogames but the other day I was reading about how they can be addictive. And I’m thinking, ‘Am I going to be the parent who tells them no videogames?’ ”

I'm sure that Jack Black will teach Sonic Death Monkey just the right amount of perviness to become friends with Suri Cuise, Shiloh Jolie Pitt or Isabella Damon, but not completely skeeve the girls out. Because that's what fathers like Jack Black are for.

In 1999 Owen Wilson and Jack Black were not the household names that they are today. For this reason, someone over at Fox made the biggest mistake of their lives by not picking up a pilot directed by Ben Stiller and starring these two actors. Okay, fine, the premise of the show was completely ridiculous and may have only succeeded in ruining the careers of everyone involved. In the show, Jack Black played an astronaut with superhuman intelligence on the run from NASA and Owen Wilson was the voice of Heat Vision, Jack's talking motorcycle sidekick.

Thanks to the wonder of the internet, this pilot is now available in it's entirety. It may be long, but it's not like you're actually doing anything at work.
