Breaking Dawn Spoiler Pics: Edward & Bella's Honeymoon Scene, Jacob on the Run!
It feels like our Twilight favorites are growing up before our eyes.
In the next installment, Part I of Breaking Dawn, Edward and Bella (Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart) take their relationship to the next level.
"They make love for the first time, they get married and pregnant," says director Bill Condon of the film, scheduled for release in November.
Here's are two newly-released photos of Edward and Bella's honeymoon:
In EW's cover story, Rob and Kristen discussed the exotic locations for the film. Much of the vampire honeymoon was shot outside the Brazilian town of Paraty.
"There's just this incredibly sensual vibe down there," reveals Condon.
While Jacob, the werewolf played by Taylor Lautner doesn't get the girl, he does manage to get over her, and in doing so "becomes a man," says Condon.
At least he gets to ride a cool motorcycle and run around soaking wet in the rain. Sadly, girls, he's got a shirt on, but you'll still enjoy the images below.

Guide to British Noble Titles
Today it was announced that newlyweds Prince William and Kate Middleton will officially be known as the duke and duchess of Cambridge. But what, exactly, does that mean -- not to mention how do you decipher who's who on the royal wedding guest list? Find out, with the help of our a handy guide to British royal titles:
King: Male ruler of a kingdom.
Queen: Female ruler of a kingdom.
Prince: Ruler of a principality, which is a sovereign state; the title is granted (and can be revoked) by the sovereign.
Princess: A title generally held by either the daughters of a British sovereign, the male-line granddaughters of a British sovereign or the wife of a British prince.
Duke: A member of the nobility, historically of highest rank below the monarch, and historically controlling a duchy, which is a specific territory.
Duchess: The wife of a duke. (However, Camilla Parker Bowles is known as a duchess, a choice she made to avoid confusion with Prince Charles' first wife, Princess Diana.)
Marquess: A member of the nobility, traditionally a rank below duke. Though now obsolete, the distinction between an earl and a marquess used to be that a marquess' land, called a march, was on the border of the country, while an earl's land, called a county, often wasn't. A woman with the rank of marquess, or the wife of a marquess, is a marchioness.
Earl: A member of the nobility who ranks below a marquess and above viscount. In the 5th and 6th centuries, an earl collected fines and taxes and in return was entitled to a third of the money collected. Present day titleholders take their names from towns, mountains or surnames.
Viscount: A member of the nobility who ranks below an earl. The title originally referred to a person who served as a deputy or lieutenant of a count, or the sheriff of a county. Current titleholders usually take their name from a place, a surname or a combination of both.
Lord, Lady: Generally, any noble member except a duke or duchess is referred to as a lord (male) or lady (female) as are the children, former wives and other close relatives of the nobility.
Master: At one time used for men of rank, it now primarily is used for boys generally younger than 13 in formal correspondence, particularly invitations to formal events.
Sir: The formal reference for a knight and used with the full name, but not with the surname alone ("Sir Elton John," but not "Sir John"). A knighthood today recognizes significant contributions to national life and includes such people as actors, scientists, school leaders and industrialists. The female equivalent is a dame.

Aziz Ansari Shares Advice For MTV Movie Awards Host Jason Sudeikis
'Parks and Recreation' star has tips for 'Saturday Night Live' castmember.

It's official, boys and girls, "Saturday Night Live" star Jason Sudeikis is set to host the MTV Movie Awards when the show goes live June 5 from Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California. Who will win Golden Popcorn statues? What kind of zany antics will go down? Nobody really knows, but one guy who understands what it's like to host the show is 2010 emcee and "Parks and Recreation" star Aziz Ansari.
So, what words of wisdom does Mr. Ansari have for Sudeikis nearly 12 months after his stint? "It's so much work, so definitely have a lot of uppers on hand, like just drugs that'll get you fired up," he joked to MTV News. "PCP is good to stay up all night, get all the work done. It's a cool thing though; it's back in vogue. It's like Twitter, PCP. It's like trendy things: Twitter, PCP, Jonas Brothers."
While we're not sure he'll take Ansari's advice, Sudeikis has made it clear he hopes to do a bang-up job. "I'm sincerely flattered that the folks from the Mostly Teenage Viewers network have invited me to host this year, and I look forward to keeping the streak of flawless and critically lauded Movie Awards show hosting in 2011 alive," Sudeikis joked.
The MTV Movie Awards nominees — based on your votes at MovieAwards.MTV.com — will be announced Tuesday, at which point you'll be able to vote for your favorite films and stars in categories like Best Fight, Best Kiss, Biggest Badass Star, Best Villain and, of course, Best Movie. Voting will continue through June 4, though Best Movie will remain open throughout the live ceremony June 5 — meaning you'll have a chance to affect the night's biggest prize until the very last minute.
Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez's Romantic Getaway!
They're two of the hottest young celebs, which makes it hard for Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez to ever find moment for each other. However, the teens recently found just long enough of a break to sneak away on a romantic getaway!
Justin is currently globe-trotting on his world-wide tour, but that didn't stop Selena from hopping a plane to Malaysia to meet her beau as soon as her scheduled allowed for it.
The 18-year-old finally reunited with her pop star boyfriend after more than a month of strictly Skype and text communication with one another.
The pair made the most of what little time they had together, staying in Indonesia for a few days before jetting off to the island Bali where they could dodge the ever-present paparazzi.
Cameron Diaz Says Her 'Bad Teacher' Character 'Just Doesn't Care'
'She doesn't want to be a good teacher,' actress tells MTV News.

For those who've been keeping tabs on Cameron Diaz's very R-rated upcoming comedy "Bad Teacher" — particularly the film's naughty red-band trailer — this is not the sweet and wholesome Diaz we've come to know and love via "There's Something About Mary" and "Charlie's Angels."
In "Bad Teacher," Diaz plays disgruntled educator Elizabeth, who, when not smoking "medicinal" marijuana in the parking lot, passing off the advances of the school's gym teacher (Jason Segel) and grading papers ("Are you f***ing kidding me?" she writes on one student's exam), keeps herself busy by seducing the new substitute teacher Scott (Justin Timberlake).
When MTV News caught up with Diaz recently, we asked her to talk about her character's "problems," and it turns out that the film's title is perfectly appropriate in this case.
"She's not a good teacher," Diaz said. "She is the opposite of good. She is a bad teacher. She is bad at teaching. ... She just really doesn't care. She doesn't want to be a good teacher, and so therefore, being a bad teacher really doesn't mean anything to her either."
Diaz said her character's professional ineptitude stems from a place of total misery.
"She's miserable. She's not happy with her world, and she doesn't pretend that she is," Diaz explained. "Her pain is real. She's living a very painful existence, so there's no humor to her in this."
With regard to the research the actress put into the role, Diaz revealed she took a few things from a bad teacher she once had.
"I had a really, really bad teacher. I'm not naming names. That teacher knows who that teacher is, and that's about it," she said. "I think that this person actually cared about being a good teacher, but just happened to be terrible," she added with a laugh. "We've all had those teachers. Teaching is not everybody's calling."
It's Summer Movie Preview Week, and MTV News will be bringing you exclusive interviews, clips and photos for the most anticipated films of the coming months. Get ready to gorge on inside looks at "Captain America," "The Hangover Part II," "X-Men: First Class," "Cowboys & Aliens" and more.
Check out everything we've got on "Bad Teacher."

Is Beyonce Prepping Her Next Music Video?
Photos and reports surface of a B video shoot featuring couture fashion and 200 dancers.

Last week a photo appeared on NYMag.com of Beyoncé, dressed in a blue Roberto Cavalli jumpsuit and a funky maroon fur coat, reportedly shooting a video in New Jersey for her forthcoming studio album.
A rep for the singer never returned MTV News' request for comment and now, nearly two weeks later, details about the video shoot are being revealed. According to Ace Showbiz, the video will be directed by music video auteur Francis Lawrence, who has gone behind the lens for Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Pink and Bey's former girl group, Destiny's Child.
Rumor has it that 200 African dancers and eight choreographers were hired for the clip. According to several online message boards, auditions for dancers were held in Los Angeles. Fan sites such as BeyonceDaily.com have posted blurry pictures that appear to show the singer on the set of the video, which is reportedly for the song called "Girl."
In the snapshots, Beyoncé's hair is done up in a faux-hawk, and she's wearing a white jumpsuit and sunglasses. The outfit is reportedly Givenchy couture.
The song is a "female empowerment/girl power type of song that is a definite club banger with Top 40/Worldly appeal," according to one commenter who talked about the open call after his friend attended. "The beat is driven by a sample of a popular club song that a lot of you will probably recognize. There's a breakdown in the song that is described as absolutely disgustingly sick! Definitely an anthem in the style of her singing." The post also backs up the claim that there will be upwards of 200 dancers in the video.
Rumors are floating around that Beyoncé's new album may drop this June. Sony Music Australia boss Denis Handlin told The Telegraph in Australia that "it was just amazing." He added that while he was in New York, the star herself was on hand to play some of the new music.
"She came in and played us six tracks from the album. She wants to do a big tour off the back of this record, which will include Australia," he explained. "These songs, the best description I can give is groundbreaking; she's gone to another level."
Over the course of recording the new album, Beyoncé has been rumored to hit the studio with a number of big industry names like Diplo, Sleigh Bells and Kanye West's producer S1. When she spoke to MTV News last November, she made it clear that sonically she was thinking outside the box.
"Well, I wouldn't say I'm inventing a new genre," Beyoncé explained. "I'm mixing every type of genre that I love and I'm inspired by every type of genre. ... I'm not in a box. It's not R&B. It's not typically pop. It's not rock. It's just everything I love all mixed together in my own little gumbo of music."

'Hunger Games' Eyeing Elizabeth Banks For Effie Trinket

The "Hunger Games" gang is multiplying every day, so it seems. Following the news that Hollywood newcomers Dayo Okeniyi and Amandla Stenberg have been cast as District 11 tributes Thresh and Rue, Variety brings word that a more familiar face is close to joining the production.
Elizabeth Banks is in talks to star as Effie Trinket in the adaptation of Suzanne Collins' best-selling young-adult novel, the trade magazine reports. A pink-haired escort to District 12's Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, Effie accompanies the kids on their fight-to-the-death journey.
A rep for Lionsgate declined to confirm the report, but said the studio hoped to have official news soon. A representative for Banks could not be reached as of press time.
The 37-year-old Banks last appeared onscreen opposite Russell Crowe in the blink-and-you-missed-it thriller "The Next Three Days," and has a recurring role on NBC's "30 Rock." She'll next be seen alongside Paul Rudd in the comedy "Our Idiot Brother."
While we await official word of the Banks casting, we already know that much of the cast is in place. Katniss and Peeta have already been nailed down, with Jennifer Lawrence stepping in to play lead female Katniss and Josh Hutcherson portraying her Hunger Games partner, respectively. Liam Hemsworth is set to become Gale Hawthorne, Peeta's best friend.
Directed by Gary Ross and scripted by Billy Ray, "The Hunger Games," the first movie in a planned trilogy based on Collins' books, is expected to shift into production later this year. The film is slated to be released on March 23, 2012.

Daniel Radcliffe Happy Fans Cried During 'Deathly Hallows' Finale
Filming the last 'Harry Potter' film also had the cast weeping, actor says.

Daniel Radcliffe hasn't seen "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2," but some of his fans have. And according to the film's producers, what those fans saw during test screenings brought many to tears. To which Radcliffe said with a laugh, "Good!"
"It's the last one, for God's sake!" he recently told MTV News. "If we don't get 'em now, we don't get another chance."
That is to say, after a decade of production on eight films, the boy wizard thinks the franchise is due to reap some hefty emotional payout.
After all, Radcliffe and his fellow castmembers found themselves in tears when they wrapped production on "Deathly Hallows" last year. As he told us back in June, "I didn't expect myself to get particularly emotional, but I really did, as I'm sure you'll see on the DVD extras, because we were filmed weeping like children."
These days, Radcliffe is busy singing and dancing on Broadway in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" — a job far removed from the world of "Potter" he inhabited for so long. And while he remains enthusiastic about seeing the finished product, the 21-year-old can neither comprehend just how much time has passed since that final take nor pick a favorite scene from the production.
"I am excited to see it," he said. "I think it will be very good. It just seems like eons ago that I finished it, so it's bizarre." In regard to there being a memorable scene that's stayed with him so many months later, he said, "I can't remember ever feeling, 'God, I was doing brilliant acting then! I nailed that!' I very rarely get moments like that."
Check out everything we've got on "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2."
