'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' Trailer Premieres

First sneak peek at Tom Cruise's fourth 'Mission' teases death-defying stunts.

If there is one thing we can count on from Tom Cruise in a "Mission: Impossible" movie, it is mind-blowing action and stunt sequences. From his first foray into the spy-tastic world of Ethan Hunt to his fourth, the upcoming "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol," Cruise has been one-upping himself in the stunt category. And judging from the first official trailer, which was released Tuesday evening (June 28), his work on the fourth "Mission," directed by "The Incredibles" helmer Brad Bird, is no exception.

The trailer opens with the ominous words of Tom Wilkinson, whose character name we have yet to learn, essentially laying out the nuts and bolts of the plot.

"An hour ago, a bomb blew up the Kremlin," he says, as footage of the Kremlin blowing up appear onscreen. "The president has initiated Ghost Protocol, the entire IMF has been disavowed," he explains of Ethan Hunt's (Tom Cruise) spy organization. "Now, I've been ordered to take you to Washington where they will hang the Kremlin bombing on you and your team, unless you were to escape after assaulting Brandt and me," says Wilkinson, shown seated in a car with Brandt (played by Jeremy Renner) and Hunt. "But if any of your team is caught, they'll be branded as terrorists."

"So what happens now?" Hunt asks.

"Your mission, should you choose to accept it," Wilkinson begins, recalling the series' famous line before being cut off so he won't spoil the plot entirely (although, if were to guess, the mission is probably to prove his team's innocence in the Kremlin bombing). His words are followed by a series of quick cuts that showcase and introduce the various castmembers, potential villains, etc. Renner as Brandt, Paula Patton, a serious-looking Josh Holloway, Cruise as Hunt in a series of wardrobe changes ranging from dapper formal wear to more rugged leather.

Then we see snippets of those famous Cruise-brand action sequences: car chases, underwater escapes, machine-gun fire, hand-to-hand combat, lots of running, more fighting and martial arts, more running, and plenty of spy-associated breaking and entering, which all leads up to a potential character reveal about Brandt.

"Who are you really, Brandt?" Hunt asks, in a scene where the two characters apparently come to blows.

"We all have our secrets," Brandt responds. "Don't we, Ethan?"

Cue the famous bars of Lalo Schrifin's "Theme From Mission: Impossible," which plays over Hunt looking out over Dubai, standing on the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. This is followed by a quick cut to a previous scene wherein tech master Benji Dunn (played by Simon Pegg) shows Hunt how to use a pair of fancy gadget gloves, which we soon see help him scale the Burj.

"You're not going to make it!" Brandt yells to Hunt, who is climbing and jumping up and around the side of the building.

"You're not helping," Hunt says, before the final shot, which shows the superspy repelling away from the Burj with a rope, which he loses midair and looks to plummet to the ground. Fade to black and the film's official titling.

Cruise's wife, Katie Holmes, told MTV News recently that she was privy to a sneak peek of the film and that it's "amazing." "The movie is going to be very cool and intense and the best 'Mission' yet."

First-time live-action director Bird echoed Holmes' sentiments, adding that Cruise did a lot of the craziest and most dangerous stunts himself.

"It's big and it is crazy," he said. "I think the craziest thing is that [the stunts] are real they're not digital. That's Tom Cruise on the tallest building in the world, he's doing all that stuff," Bird said of Cruise's death-defying stunts. "People won't believe it, but we shot it in IMAX so it's there for everyone to see."

Joe Stangni Pulls an Anthony Weiner, Tweets Underwear Pic to Woman

Anthony Weiner likely wanted to set a good example for folks during his time in office. But we doubt this is what he had in mind,

Joe Stangni, a Louisiana Councilman, has been caught in a Twitter scandal after The New Orleans Times-Picayune published a photo he sent of himself in his underwear to a town employee.

Explained the politician after this picture leaked: "I had an inappropriate but consensual relationship with an adult female and we exchanged improper electronic communications which ended in 2009. I did not use any government computer or city issued equipment to send or receive these communications."

Following the guidelines of Famous Person Apology 101, Stangi invoked a Higher Power in his statement, adding:

"I asked for God's mercy and forgiveness. I apologized to my wife and family and asked for their forgiveness as well. My actions and bad judgment had nothing to do with my duties and responsibilities as a public official. They were private acts, but I take full responsibility for my irresponsible behavior. This matter has been a painful experience for my family and I pray that everyone will allow our family to continue to heal. I am sorry."

The most embarrassing part of all this? At least Weiner had something to show off.

Jake Gyllenhaal Bald: A Hair Do or Don't?

Jake Gyllenhaal, who normally flaunts a full head of hair, and quite often a beard and mustache to boot, was recently spotted bald on the L.A. set of his new film.

In End of Watch, he plays a police officer, so it suits the role (as it did when he bic'd it for 2005′s Jarhead). But it's certainly a dramatic shift for the hirsute actor.

Which look do you prefer on Jake? Vote here!

Amber Rose Nude Pics Allegedly Sent to Nicki Minaj's Boyfriend

It's all based on circumstantial evidence, but we're The Hollywood Gossip, not The Hollywood Fact. So check out this allegedly sordid tale:

According to MediaTakeOut, Nicki Minaj walked in a troubling surprise during her birthday party in Vegas this past December: Amber Rose in the same room with Nicki's boyfriend at the time, a dude named Safaree.

Minaj grew suspicious and thought "something was going on," according to a source, who added that the singer later grabbed Safaree's phone and found naked photos of Rose sent via BBM. We've posted one below:

Trust us, most are A LOT more graphic.

The insider says Safaree actually convinced Minaj that nothing ever happened with Amber and that she was just trying to seduce him. He and Nicki are still together...

... but the artist has allegedly ordered all other friends, including Lil Wayne and Drake, to stay the heck away from Rose. And if Nicki ever sees Kanye's ex? Look out, world!

RZA Joins Cast Of 'G.I. Joe' Sequel

Wu-Tang Clan member will play martial arts character Blind Master.

When the "G.I. Joe" sequel gets under way, fans will see an almost all-new cast that not only includes Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson but could also feature Wu-Tang Clan rapper/producer-turned-actor RZA.

The beatmeister will play a martial arts expert named the Blind Master, who once trained Joe commandos Snake Eyes and Jinx (Elodie Yung of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"), according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In addition to returning star Channing Tatum, another potential new face will be D.J. Cotrona, currently appearing on the TV show "Detroit 1-8-7." Both RZA and Cotrona are in negotiations to join the movie, which is being directed by Jon Chu ("Justin Bieber: Never Say Never").

" 'Joe' is something I've loved since I was a kid," Chu confessed to MTV News when word of his possible involvement first leaked earlier this year. "My era was 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' 'G.I. Joe' and 'Transformers.' When 'Joe' changed their theme song from the old-style 'Go Joe!' to 'Got to get tough, go Joe!' that was the era I was in. Those are the fun, glory years that I remember."

Cotrona is slated to play a character named Flint, one of Joe's soldiers best known from the 1980s comics for his signature shotgun and beret.

The mainstream flick is one of the most high-profile popcorn movie roles to date for RZA, who has previously appeared in films such as "Due Date," "Kill Bill," "Funny People" and "American Gangster." He recently wrapped work directing the martial arts movie "The Man With the Iron Fists," in which he co-stars with Russell Crowe and blaxploitation icon Pam Grier.

'Transformers: Dark Of The Moon' Thrills Opening Night Crowds

Robot flick nabs $13.5 million from Tuesday-night screenings.
By Morgan Schwartz

NEW YORK — The "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" red carpet in Times Square on Tuesday evening was packed with fans, stars and possibly a few Autobots eager to see the third installment of Michael Bay's explosive franchise. Theaters across the country were similarly swarming during evening screenings on opening night, with the alien robot flick nabbing $13.5 million in pre-midnight and midnight screenings, according to Deadline.com.

And though the atmosphere in front of the screening that MTV News attended was excited, several in the crowd were cautious about their hopes for the flick. "I've actually had lower expectations since the second one," Joseph Dornoff told us before he walked in. "So, I'm not expecting anything from it."

His friend, Patrick Farace, who has been anxiously waiting to see the third film since he heard of its release, also shared his hope to see "a better plot than the last one, amazing action. I'm excited to see Shockwave — he's the new villain." Judging by the reaction in the audience, "Dark of the Moon" surpassed many people's expectations. Fans clapped, cheered and possibly even shed a tear as the Autobots battled the evil Decepticons in their quest to bring home planet Cybertron to Earth. Although the third film featured the same basic good vs. evil fight peppered with romance as the first two, everything seemed to be bigger in this one.

The battles between Megatron, Sentinel Prime, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime were the clear fan favorite.

"[It's great] when Optimus comes by and just starts ripping everybody apart," said Wesley Arocho after the movie was done. "This action is made even more exciting by the fact that for the first time, audiences got to view it in 3-D."

"The 3-D was great. All the special effects were great," Carlos Barrozi added.

"It was better than past movies. It didn't hurt your eyes. You were able to watch it without wanting to take your glasses off," said Briana Brink-Rivera. Two friends, Mustafa Ahmed and Munawar Ali Mohd, even went so far as to say seeing the epic Chicago action in 3-D was "a dream come true."

Even Sam Witwicky's (Shia LaBeouf) love life seemed to be hotter in the third film. When asked which of Sam's love interests they preferred, newcomer Rosie Huntington-Whiteley or former franchise hottie Megan Fox, brothers Brandon and Bryce McCright responded simultaneously, "Rosie!"

If the response on opening night is any indication, Bay and company can rest assured that they've redeemed themselves after "Revenge of the Fallen." Now, the only question that remains is: Can we expect a fourth?

Rod Blagojevich Convicted of 17 Felonies

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who resigned after attempting to sell or barter President Obama's seat in the U.S. Senate, has been convicted of a VAST range of corruption, bribery and extortion charges.

A jury deemed him guilty on 17 of 20 counts.

His attorneys insisted that FBI wiretap recordings in which he discussed many illegal activities were just the ramblings of a politician who liked to think aloud.

But Blagojevich, who spent 2 1/2 years becoming a punchline, yet professing his innocence on reality shows and on the witness stand, went down hard.

The guilty verdict caps an incredible story in which Rod Blagojevich infamously said, on a tapped phone, that the chance to appoint the Senate successor to Obama after he was elected president was "f---ing golden."

Not something to give away "for f---ing nothing," in other words.

He faces up to 300 years in prison, though sentencing guidelines are sure to reduce his time. Still, prosecutors will likely push to have him incarcerated.

Rod may not have a leg to stand on. The Feds had been investigating him for years before the senate seat incident (hence the number of charges).

A status hearing for sentencing was set for August 1.

Rock Ross Sued Over Dog Mauling

Doggone it, Rick Ross is in trouble with the law.

A lawsuit has been filed against the rapper following the death of a three-year old Yorkshire Terrier named Banks. According to documents obtained by TMZ, the canine suffered "3 large bite wounds on his back," along with a "very large bite wound" around his neck, all at the paws of Ross' pitbulls, which escaped from his home in April.

The owner of Banks was forced to euthanize the pet as a result of the attack.

Investigators cited Ross for the incident, but the lack of an apology from the artist has irked the owner to the point where she's demanding he pay over $15,000 in damages and court costs.

Let's hope the court also makes him put a shirt on. Yeeesh!

Stunning New 'Immortals' Trailer Still Looks Like '300'

Filed under: Trailers and Clips, Movie News

It's not that we have anything against 'Immortals,' because as far as action trailers go, the first one for this film had it all -- stunning fight scenes, inspirational wartime speeches, and an evil enemy willing to win at all costs. However, it's hard not to look at the clip without immediately thinking of '300.'

While the second trailer which just premiered over on RyanSeacrest.com still comes across as a retread of the 2007 film starring Gerrard Butler, that doesn't mean this movie will be devoid of all entertainment. In fact, quite the opposite.

The new clip gives us a better idea of what to expect from our hero Theseus (Henry Cavill), as he looks to defend the gods against the evil titan Hyperion (Mickey Rourke).

Hit the jump to check out the new footage.

Tobey Maguire Sued For Poker Winnings

Tobey Maguire never predicted he'd be ensnared in this kind of web.

The actor was part of high-stakes poker games involving Hollywood's biggest stars, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

But Maguire, who frequently came out on top, is being sued for some of the winnings earned in the underground games, to the tune of $311,000. Why?

Because a bankruptcy trustee is suing Maguire and others who participated in the poker matches to try to recoup $4 million for investors. Why?

Because the money he won was originally taken in a Ponzi scheme by its architect, Bradley Ruderman, who is now serving 10 years in prison.

We know. It's a really strange case.

Nailed for perpetrating a wire fraud and investment advisor fraud scheme, Ruderman lost about $5.2 million in investors' money in a "clandestine high-stakes poker game held on a regular basis in a suite at a luxury Beverly Hills hotel."

The games were played at the Four Seasons and the Beverly Hills Hotel and, occasionally, private residences of the big-name poker players.

As a matter of fact, one of the residences was the Hollywood Hills home of Rick Salomon, Paris Hilton's sex tape partner in 1 Night in Paris.

The upscale, high-stakes affairs included hired dealers, professional style poker tables and massages. Doesn't sound shady whatsoever.

In an attempt to recover Ruderman's losses, the trustee maintains in the lawsuit that Maguire is "not entitled to receive the transfers from the Debtor, which transfers were compromised of improperly-diverted investor funds."

Maguire's attorney, Robert Barta, as well as his publicist, Kelly Bush, were both unavailable for comment to ABC News as of this report.

'Mission: Impossible 4' Is 'Intense,' Katie Holmes Says

Mrs. Tom Cruise says 'Ghost Protocol' is 'the best 'Mission' yet.'
By Kara Warner

Katie Homes & Guillermo Del Toro
Photo: MTV News

While we've been awaiting an official trailer for "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" — which is said to drop in front of this week's "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" — a French version leaked online Monday (June 27), and reportedly contains plenty of expected shots of Tom Cruise involved in crazy action sequences as super-spy Ethan Hunt.

Since we have yet to see the trailer or any footage ourselves, when MTV News caught up with Cruise's better half, Katie Holmes, Monday during the press day for "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark," we asked if she's seen any of the film yet.

"I have. I had an advanced screening," she said with a laugh, adding that it's a perk of being married to the film's star.

As for her thoughts about Cruise's death-defying stunts in the film, particularly those he performed atop Dubai's Burj Khalifa (the world's tallest building), Holmes turned the question over to Guillermo del Toro, who produced "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark."

"What did you think, Guillermo, about the Burj?" she asked him.

"I love it!" he said, at which point they both agreed that Cruise's stunts were scarier than their film, which revolves around the demonic activities of a group of terrifying little creatures that seek out and kill humans, particularly children.

"It's amazing," Holmes continued. "The movie is going to be very cool and intense and the best 'Mission' yet."

The actress also mentioned that she'd be game for a role that required a few crazy stunts herself. "I think it sounds fun," she said.

Del Toro then chimed in with his own "Mission: Impossible Diaries," so to speak: "I live 'Mission: Impossible.' It's what I call my diet," he joked, and then proceeded to hum the "Mission: Impossible" theme song, while miming his insatiable appetite, making Holmes burst out laughing.

Holmes weighed-in: "I have a lot of 'Mission: Impossible' moments, just being a mom."

Del Toro agreed: "Yes, coping with the home front."

BET AWARDS EXTRAS: Kevin Hart's "The Real Husbands" With Tami Roman + Pics From The Audience & Backstage

Last night the 2011 BET AWARDS went down in Los Angeles and we've got pics from the audience and backstage that we didn't post last night. Plus those "Real Househusband" skits featuring Bobby Brown, Tami Roman and Nick Cannon.

Nia Long is pregant and fabulous....in heels!

Hey Nia!

Mary J. Blige showed off her banging figure last night after opening the show.

"The Game" star Hosea Chanchez wore custom suits from AKOO Clothing Designs in New York for the show. He presented on stage with his co-stars Meagan Good and Pooch Hall.

And LeToya Luckett was seen at the show. She came with her ex-Slim Thug. Verrrry intersting....

Diddy's sons were there: Quincy, Christian and Justin. We barely recognized Quincy with that hair....

Lil' Wayne got a kiss from one of the women in his life....his daughter Reginae.

Ashanti was there with her boo Nelly. So I guess they're "back together".

Flo-Rida was in the audience with Melyssa Ford--his new chick-o-the-month.

Their song is a classic....however, did anyone notice how out of tune/key/ Alexander O'Neal was? But Cherrelle looked great.

The Five Heartbeats reunited and they still look good. Heeeey Leon....

The Smiths (Will, Willow, Jada, Jaden) kicked it in the audience.

We love those shoes Idris Elba. His sexiness was just on 100 last night.

Lady Snoop...Shante Broadus was there.

Taraji P. Henson sparkled. Not the most flattering dress for her bangin' bod but she can pull off almost anything.

Chris Brown posed with his awards back in the press room.

And a few red carpet extras:

We heart Jilly!

And Romeo, Toccara, and Tracee Ellis Ross all hit the carpet looking nice.

Throughout the show, host Kevin Hart presented a series of skits about "The Real Househusbands of Hollywood." Of course, they featured his celeb friends as cast... and many surprises including Tami Roman. And also, Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal performed "Saturday Love."
