We were all there (or somewhere) when Sgt. Scott Moore invited Mila Kunis to be his date at the Marine Corps Ball. We watched uncomfortably as Kunis's Friends With Benefits co-star Justin Timberlake cajoled her (during a live interview) into attending because it would be good for (marketing their movie) the country. Well now, a gutsy marine corporal named Kelsey De Santis has posted her own video invitation asking Timberlake to accompany her to a different November 12 event in Washington, D.C. Check it out ahead!

"Music, for me, is like a weed that keeps springing up," says Jeff Bridges at the beginning of this six-minute behind-the-scenes look at the making of his self-titled album due out in August. The Oscar-winning star has been playing music since he was a teen, but it was Crazy Heart that really renewed his vigor in the performance art. Funny thing? He's pretty great! He's also Jeff Bridges, so you won't be able to watch this without thinking of either The Dude or Jeff'd. Click ahead for the video.

Like any adult, I've confronted myself with the fact that the entire cast of Harry Potter is cool. They just are. They're witty, fun, sarcastic, and they even play along when you tell them to speak in American accents. In this clip from MTV (an update of a feature they did for the first Deathly Hallows), Tom Felton, Rupert Grint, and Matthew Lewis pronounce "brewskis" in their most Toby Keithian drawls. Prepare to renew your crushes on all three.

Sgt. Scott Moore may seem like a typical marine stationed in Afghanistan, but he's got more nerve and charisma than the whole of the internet. In a video he made overseas dedicated to Mila Kunis, he invited the Friends with Benefits star to attend a Marines ball in North Carolina with him. And who helped cajole Kunis to accepting the date? Her patriotic co-star, of course! The video, posted by Moore under the YouTube handle "GoWithMeMila," follows.

Helena Bonham Carter's personality is larger than life, which explains why her top hats and mismatched ballet flats seem so tiny!

She peed herself while shooting Harry Potter. And she's going to tell you why.

James Marsh, the Oscar-winning director of 2008's Man on Wire, scintillated Sundance with his new documentary Project Nim, which centers on a chimp named Nim who was raised as a human child and taught American Sign Language. The first six minutes are now online, and if they're any indication, Nim's human preferences are enough to break a family apart. Watch, gape, and repeat.

Despite the recent torrent of production stills, it has been awhile since Peter Jackson released any moving pictures from the production of The Hobbit, so this second video diary comes at an ideal time. The first block of filming on the two-part epic is complete (production is set to resume in early September), and everyone already looks sufficiently exhausted -- including second unit director Andy Serikis. Click ahead to watch the charming video.

The story of Steven Spielberg's career beginnings -- including how he fled a tour group at Universal and earned his first internship by asking staffers about their jobs -- is oft-told, but when you're the most influential filmmaker of a generation, your origin tale is always relevant. In a new video with his Cowboys & Aliens collaborators Jon Favreau, Brian Grazer, and Ron Howard, Spielberg sheds light on a time when Searchers director (and general legend) John Ford cursed him out. It is mesmerizing.

If you thought the Sarah Palin campaign-boosting documentary The Undefeated wouldn't resort to such propaganda-y things as comparing the former half-term Alaskan governor to a Marine while video of a burning building plays onscreen, some bad news: it does. On the upside, however, is this hilarious juxtaposition: "On day one, Governor Palin made it absolutely clear that this was a different governor," says someone in voiceover just as a dollar bill is being cut up with scissors. Different! (Alternate: That's one way to slash the budget?) The trailer for The Undefeated is here.

Unless your boss plays mind games with you involving genitalia and shaved coconut, makes you work while your "gam-gam" is on her deathbed, and insults you for sport, he/she has nothing on Kevin Spacey in the new UK trailer for Horrible Bosses. So, watch and take pleasure knowing that your superior (hopefully) won't ever be as bad as the power-wielding Spacey, the sexually inappropriate Jennifer Aniston or the coke-fiend Colin Farrell.
