I swear I don't mean to post this much about Dancing with the Stars, but I can't help that The Situation and Bristol Palin recorded a safe sex PSA together. I definitely can't. I also can't help that Bristol gives another performance worthy of the CW hit The Secret Life of the American Thespian, and that The Situation utters, "You've got to think before you get yourself into a Situation." That's just the beginning. Wait until he puts the "abs" in "abstinence." This is real.

You might be stumped with what to get your loved ones this Christmas -- on that front, don't worry: Movieline's Gift Guide is coming soon to a web browser near you! -- but thanks to Pixar, Christmas 2011 is already covered. The trailer for next summer's Cars 2 has arrived and brought with it enough stocking stuffers to please even the most fickle Michael Caine impersonator.

Of course by "fix," I actually mean kill...with assault rifles, cars crashed through buses and more. Yep, it's the trailer for the remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson movie that involves an ace hitman (Jason Statham in this case) who takes on an apprentice (Ben Foster) with with quite a bit of reluctance. That is, until their company betrays them and kills Statham's friend and Foster's father; then it's time for the two to put their differences aside, grab their tools (read: guns) and go to work.

Stories about about families trying to protect their farm or home from insurmountable outside forces have been told quite a few times. Usually they involve money or maybe some corporation or rival family (if we're talking Westerns). But in Claire Denis' White Material, Isabelle Huppert must contend with post-colonialism and civil war turmoil in modern Africa to save her coffee plantation. And yeah, as this trailer suggests, things get a little more complicated.

MTV's new television series Teen Wolf may be named for the 1985 feature film starring Michael J. Fox but a more fitting title for the adapted series would be MTV's Jacob -- at least judging from the trailer released today. Because everything from star Tyler Posey's skin tone to his brooding stare to his preference to be shirtless is reminiscent of the dreamy Twilight character played by tween heartthrob Taylor Lautner.

Justin Bieber: you know his slender, gamine hips, his bangy ridiculous haircut, and his steadfast refusal to enter puberty. Now, thanks to the folks at Upright Citizen's Brigade, you can learn about his gritty, painstaking rise from the mean streets of Ontario, Canada to the top of the pop charts. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the trailer to Bieber's upcoming biopic, 8 Kilometer.

There are a few stages to Nerd Apoplexy Over a Comic Book Movie -- the first stage usually comes with the choice of director ("Jon Favreau? The Swingers guy? He'll be terrible!"). The next anxiety attack comes when the lead role is cast ("Michael Keaton?? Who'll buy him as Batman?!"). And finally, the dork outrage over the costume. And how has the new Green Lantern movie dealt with its own costume hue and cry? Let's go to the video tape!

Daniel Radcliffe: multimillionaire at age 21, Broadway's newest star, staunch supporter of gay rights and, oh yeah, an ENORMOUS nerd. On Graham Norton's show, Radcliffe decided to wow the audience and show his scientific acumen by singing The Elements, a song that lists every single element on the periodic table. It's sort of adorable how very into it Daniel is (plus he's pretty clearly very nervous as fellow guests Rihanna and Colin Farrell look on with judgey eyes). But just to burnish his bad-boy bonafides, Radcliffe said he's also looking forward to getting some tattoos now that Harry Potter is over. I don't know about you, but my knees go weak for a fella with a giant screaming eagle emblazoned on his chest who could also tell me all about tungsten. Watch the song after the break!

We've experienced mad "Red Band" abuse lately, haven't we? Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis stripped to the waist and humored us with swear words in the Friends with Benefits red band trailer, and the anal shenanigans in I Love You, Philip Morris's trailer were over in a matter of milliseconds. Tsk. Thankfully, Love and Other Drugs's new trailer picks up the slack with a hearty erection, but is the rest of the trailer any good? Join us for the full preview.

The good folks at GQ have finally released some behind-the-scenes video footage of last month's controversial photo shoot with Glee stars Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Dianna Agron. Outstanding! Of note here is that despite the dour response to the photos from Agron, it appears she's having a great time...though admittedly not as great of a time as Michele, who seems to delight in the scandalous hijinks. Anyway, something about this makes the problem-strewn spread seem much more wholesome and innocent. We look forward to GQ releasing more click-bait-y stuff from the Glee shoot as 2010 rolls on. The video lies ahead.

Entertainment Weekly today offers a video preview of Gwyneth Paltrow's guest appearance on Glee, featuring the actress/singer/bowel-elimination expert rocking New Directions as a substitute teacher. The clip showcases Paltrow delivering the family-hour version of Cee Lo Green's "F*ck You" to the group, all pink tambourine and primo sass. So why doesn't it work?

When Michael Cera visited Conan last night, he revealed that just recently he and his buddy Clark Duke had been invited to perform "2 Bitches" onstage with their rap idol, Too $hort. It was entertaining to watch Cera interpret the lyrics to his favorite misogynistic rap jam for Conan -- but the segment was lacking actual footage from the concert. Fortunately for all Michael Cera-completists, Movieline has tracked down incriminating video from the hoodie lovers rap debut.

Screenwriters have finally stumbled upon the perfect revenge-fantasy-outlet for their Los Angeles angst. Just as aliens head to theaters today to devour the city in Skyline, here comes the teaser for Battle: Los Angeles, in which a presumably different group of aliens turn LA into a total war zone. These scenarios are probably comforting to imagine after the second hour stuck in traffic, waiting for some flaky producer to call back. Anyway, this is a great trailer; something like Black Hawk Down in Los Angeles...with aliens.

It's kind of obvious to suggest that any true video tribute to the late Dino De Laurentiis should comprise some balance of grace, schlock and adventure, much as the legendary producer's own work did for decades prior to his death today at age 91. I think you can find all three in this strange video bearing his (misspelled) name, but you'll probably have to search -- and if you can make it through all eight minutes, you're a better viewer than I.

A.A. Milne's misanthropic stuffed animals are back in Disney's upcoming Winnie the Pooh, a refreshingly 2-D trek back to the Hundred Acre Wood set for release in July 2011. With veteran voice actor Jim Cummings playing Pooh Bear and Tigger (now that beloved ventriloquist and Tigger voice Paul Winchell has passed on), it seems this animated adventure might be in the right hands -- even with newcomer Craig Ferguson lending his voice to Owl. But does the trailer make good on its delightful approach?
