I love when Inside the Actors Studio grills people better known for television or music than movies. Who can forget when James Lipton turned to Jennifer Lopez and said, "Tell us about U-Turn." I cried through the laughter through the tears. The same situation applies to Jennifer Aniston, who is forced to answer questions about Leprechaun, Picture Perfect, and Camp Cucamonga, if we're lucky. Here are the first previews of her conversation with Lipton, which include special insight into The Break-Up and her NBC television series about pals.

I can't tell you why symmetrical movie star Jake Gyllenhaal wants to ford the wild with a dude named Bear Grylls, but he's doing it for our entertainment, thankfully. The Oscar-nominated actor trudged with the Man Vs. Wild guru through Icelandic snows for this Monday's season premiere. Will you gasp in horror when Jakey falls into an icy crevasse, or will you gasp in sexual ecstasy?

Apparently today is International Kissing Day, a global extension of the quasi-holiday founded in the UK before spreading its germy brand to foreign shores. We're all stuck with it now, but you know what they say: When life throws you lemons, watch Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in the greatest kiss ever captured for the screen. Or... something.

I suspect that Ewan McGregor considers lightsaber jokes a tired, verboten issue, but that's the fun of Graham Norton: He doesn't care about your hang-ups and forces you to laugh at them with us! Thanks, Graham. In the following clip, McGregor picks up a lightsaber and duels around with Irish Bridesmaids cop Chris O'Dowd, before fielding an underhand pitch from Mr. Norton. It's so much fun, Queen Amidala might even flash a noticeable emotion at it.

Things have been a wee bit quiet where Jonathan English's 13th century siege pic Ironclad is concerned, but with the indie action pic's July release right around the corner Movieline's got just the uber-gory clip reel to set your pulse racing. (And, perhaps, your stomach turning.) Watch out, Paul Giamatti! The Knights Templar are coming for you.

The people of Taiwan (or at least a small company therein) will not stand idly by as Shia LaBeouf's latest snafu goes unchronicled in Sims-like animation! Our candid Transformers star's recent confession that he allegedly hooked up with Megan Fox is the subject of the latest animated news video from the wizards at NMA. Best part? Harrison Ford makes a cameo, and he's pissed.

Sometimes the Internet is on the cutting edge of viral video mash-ups... and sometimes the Internet falls asleep on the couch, covered in Doritos crumbs. This has to be one of those latter times. How else to explain the alarming fact that it took this long for someone to create a mash-up of No Strings Attached and fellow bang-buddy comedy Friends With Benefits? Click ahead for the obvious, but funny, comparison.

Yes, I know. You Harry Potterites well know what Horcruxes are -- the magical vessels that can house a fragment of a wizard or witch's soul -- but the rest of us Muggles might need a little refresher going into July's franchise-ender Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II. Luckily, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort himself!) and others have put together a handy featurette packed with footage to explain.

Chet Haze, the Northwestern-based rapper and son of Tom Hanks whose "nights consist of absolutely murdering tracks, and living what he is really spitting" according to Facebook, finally released his first music video. It's very great. Chet's meager plans to conquer the rap game begin with the following query: Baby, why you gotta misbehave? No punchline necessary.

Normally, Movieline wouldn't report on a music video by a novelty act called Kalup and Franco, but I regret to inform you that the "Franco" in this case is the Oscar-nominated, Oscar-ruining James Franco. In the first video from their new EP Turn It Up, Franco and his faithful drag-act friend Kalup Linzy use an innovative green-screen technique that reminds me of such revolutionary cinema as Prince's "Raspberry Beret." Now, Kalup is the true "star" of this clip, but the ethereal shots of Franco in the background may bewitch your mouth-breathing adolescent self.

As evidenced by Jon Favreau's old talk show Dinner for Five, the guy likes to shoot the shit with people, and he's pretty good at it. So as a means of promoting his upcoming Cowboys and Aliens, he sat down to do a series of behind-the-scenes interviews with his cast himself. After the jump, watch Favreau and star Harrison Ford talk costuming, Star Wars ad-libs, Ford's Han Solo audition, and more in the first interviews of the series.

Kevin Pollak's highly entertaining and extremely long The Kevin Pollak Chat Show invited on screenwriter Damon Lindelof and allowed him to monologue freely about Star Trek, Cowboys & Aliens, and -- perhaps most notably -- working with Ridley Scott on Prometheus, and how the film relates to Scott's seminal sci-fi work. If this show weren't so damn intoxicating, it might've been a chore to get to the Alien(s)-related story. Fortunately, that's not the case. Full transcription and video after the jump.
