Vanessa Hudgens is gearing up for the release of Beastly (finally!) The date has been delayed, moved and pushed around the calendar so much it’s a wonder there is still interest in it.

Costarring with Alex Pettyfer, Mary Kate Olsen and Neil Patrick Harris (who later directed her at the Hollywood Bowl in a performance of Rent,) Hudgens spoke to ComingSoon about how she chose Beastly, her character Lindy and doing stunts while afraid of heights:

On what attracted her to the role: “It was just a script that was in the pile, you know, and I read it, and I thought that it was really interesting. I had a meeting with them, and I remember running in, and I was late and I felt horrible, and we just had a great conversation. It was me, Susan the producer and Daniel the director, and we just sat and talked about the project. Just hearing Daniel’s ambitions, what he wanted to do, how he wanted to shoot it, how he wanted to develop the characters. It just seemed like the right next choice.”

On who Lindy is and how she’s different: “It’s a whole lot different than me. I’m very outgoing and confident and when it comes to Lindy, she’s a bit more all over the place. She’s kind of the person that has a bunch of word vomit. She’ll say something and then instantly start to retract it, yet she can’t stop talking about it. She’s just kind of this neurotic character that’s just a lot of fun. There’s much more of a deeper undertone to the way I speak in it, because I have an extremely high voice.”

On her stunt work: “I’ve had one stunt already, which was quite frightening ’cause I’m afraid of heights, and I had to climb up a ladder, hold onto something upside down, they rigged me and I was literally hanging upside down on a pole, and then they would let the latch go, and they’d count “3,2,1″ and then I’d let go and fall into Alex’s arms.”

The movie hits theaters March 4th.

Justin Bieber has a new movie poster out for Never Say Never with the tagline “Find Out What’s Possible If You Never Give Up.” The official synopsis:

Justin Bieber has recorded a song with Chris Brown and Brown sent the word out on twitter that it’s about to drop:

“ME and @justinbieber got a BANGER/SMASH record for all the fans out there at the top of the NEW YEAR!!! 2011.”

Bieber had dropped the duet tip back in October on his twitter saying:

“Kinda hyped rt now. for a new single teamed up with one of my friends and an artist I used to sing covers of on youtube. BIG RECORD. SMASH!!” He then tweeted a video of himself covering Brown’s “With You.”

This could be some serious rehab for Brown’s very tarnished image but could it hurt Bieber’s?

Brown plead guilty to assaulting singer Rihanna in June of 2009. He has successfully completed his community service and the court-ordered domestic violence program but will be on probation for 3 1/2 more years.

Giving credit where credit is due, Brown did step up and took responsibility for his actions and has done everything he’s been asked by the court. He’s kept out of trouble, but what he did to Rihanna was awful.

So the questions remain: Is it time to let him off the hook? Are you OK with Justin choosing to record with Brown?

What do you think? Sound off and let us know!

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are hilarious as they crack each other up in the DVD commentary on the tent scene in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Pattinson is amused and then slightly annoyed, but joking as Jacob (Taylor Lautner) crawls in Bella’s (Stewart) sleeping bag for the infamous boyfriend/girlfriend jealous werewolf scene.

“God, he’s so gross. So brazen!” Rob says. “I really don’t like Jacob.”
“Aww,” Kristen says.
“Look at him and his tattoo and stuff. Ugh,” Rob scoffs.
“He’s just young and overzealous,” she says, in defense of the young wolf.
“He’s not!” Rob insists. “He does it on purpose. He’s looking at me when he’s saying this stuff.”
“Yeah, that is weird,” Kristen agrees.

The DVD is on sale December 4th. Hope there is lots more of Kristen & Robert’s playful banter and silly giggling! They are very cute together.

Mean Girls 2 first official trailer is here. New vicious bully girls rule the school in this direct to DVD sequel that pales in compairson to the original Tina Fey scripted high school hierarchy comedy. (Lindsey Lohan, Amanda Seyfried and Rachel McAdams are sorely missed.)

Meghan Martin, Nicole Gale Anderson, Jennifer Stone and Maiara Walsh all give it a go but you can see right away Fey’s biting, smart wit isn’t there.

February 2011 this hits shelves.

Check the trailer and tell us what you think?
