Miranda Cosgrove

With the upcoming films Maleficent and Megamind and today's Despicable Me, it seems the hot new thing in Hollywood is the animated anti-hero. In Despicable Me, he's Gru (Steve Carell), a broad-shouldered villain with a freeze gun in tow. His mischievous acts may seem small — cutting the line at Starbucks, bursting a kid's balloon — but he has bigger fish to fry: he wants to steal the moon. To do so, Gru must swipe a shrink ray, but a new golden boy evildoer (Jason Segel) in town named Vector comes on the scene to thwart his schemes.

Gru wants nothing more than to reclaim his spot as the most infamous villain, so he can make his mom (Julie Andrews) proud. Does that make him a bad guy? Absolutely not. In fact, Gru is easy to like, as is the film. I dare say, if Toy Story 3 hadn't already made its mark, Despicable could have been the family film of the Summer. To hear why, read more

Jason Segel and Steve Carell aren't the only big names in this weekend's release Despicable Me: Miranda Cosgrove told us she was thrilled to meet her costar Dame Julie Andrews –– Mary Poppins herself –– while working on the film. We caught up with both actresses in Beverly Hills as they prepped for the movie’s Friday release. Dame Julie Andrews was gracious enough to let us grill her about her status as a childhood icon –– and that rumored guest spot on Glee. Miranda talked college plans, her music career, and why Tina Fey is her ultimate role model.

The country music crowd was back together after Sunday's star-studded award show to celebrate Brooks & Dunn's "Last Rodeo Show" at Las Vegas's MGM Grand yesterday. Jennifer Hudson joined the group that included Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood, while happy couples like Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, as well as Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves, made the rounds backstage. The event was one of the final shows for Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn after two decades on the road together, and they welcomed their fellow performers onto the stage to celebrate. Jennifer, Faith, and Taylor said a few words, with Miss Swift, who turned 20 in December, jokingly saying of their careers, "Twenty years. . . to me that's like a lifetime."

The stars went from the orange carpet at Saturday's Kids' Choice Awards in LA into the show, where host Kevin James kept things under control amid multiple slimings. Katy Perry had the honor of being doused in the green goo when she was onstage with Jonah Hill, and Date Night stars Tina Fey and Steve Carell faced a similar fate. Zoe Saldana and Robert Downey Jr. stayed dry while announcing Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel as the winner of Favorite Movie, and Miley Cyrus was there to take home the Favorite Movie Actress blimp.

Taylor Lautner was a happy camper backstage after he won Favorite Movie Actor and shared the Cutest Couple honor with Kristen Stewart for New Moon — sadly, she couldn't be there since she was off with her costars in The Runaways in Las Vegas. The third in their on-screen love triangle, Robert Pattinson, also missed out due to his being in England with friends. Justin Bieber was there to up the teen heartthrob count, performing a song off his newly-released album. Selena Gomez was so happy to be declared Favorite TV Actress, and Cory Monteith joined his Glee costar Lea Michele to present the TV Actor award to Dylan Sprouse — make sure to check out the whole list of honorees over at Buzz!

Stars of the music world hit the red carpet and the stage at tonight's MTV EMAs held in Berlin, Germany. The ladies were decked out in black and cream, with Beyonce and Katy Perry standing out in their long gowns. Bar Refaeli looked gorgeous as usual, but the dress was a bit of a departure from her usual style. The guys were the one with the stand out makeup trend of the night — guyliner  — though the Jonas Brothers weren't feeling the need to participate. Tell us what you think about all the looks here on FabSugar UK.

Inside, Jay-Z performed and looked adorable posing with his wife backstage while Brody Jenner smiled with Miranda Cosgrove. She also stepped out in a sexy red costume and was the biggest winner of the night taking home three awards! Lady Gaga, U2 and Jay-Z were also among the artists who will be packing up their statues for the flight home. Katy Perry had a handful of costume changes, but her man Russell Brand wasn't there to give her a hand with that — check out all the big performances here.

Paris Hilton was a busy bee in LA yesterday, as she continued her shopping spree with Nicky in the afternoon before hitting a Hello Kitty party with Pete Wentz and mom of three Kimora Lee Simmons. Never one to end a night early, Paris then headed out to dinner at Mr Chow and dancing at Voyer with Doug Reinhardt. Paris may be acting when it comes to her ditzy image, but she's an expert when it comes to managing her demanding social schedule.

It's been a big week for Latin music, from the PBS Music Special with J. Lo to last night's Los Premios Awards honoring the best music of the genre. The event was hosted by MTV in LA, and the red carpet was full of gorgeous gals, from Alessandra Ambrosio, Ashley Tisdale, and Audrina Patridge to Kelly Osbourne — who do you think was the best dressed?

Nelly Furtado kicked off the show, which also brought out Pete Wentz, Snoop Dogg, Tommy Lee, and Dave Navarro. Selena Gomez was also on hand, looking sweet in her neutral-colored gown. Ashley Tisdale was another of the evening's performers, and Shakira even made an appearance via satellite.
