The 2013 MTV Movie Awards red carpet offered plenty of opportunities to talk about the star of the show–movies!
So, we checked in with some of the hottest celebs to find out what their favorite movies of all time are.
Cutie Taylor Hanson had a wide range when it came to a favorite, saying, “It’s hard to pick. It’s probably somewhere between Goonies and The Godfather.”
Filmmaker Andrew Jenks picked Good Will Hunting, while Jake T. Austin named Gangs of New York.
Laura Marana of Austin & Ally and Vanessa Marano, of Switched at Birth, told us Princess Bride and Social Network were high on their lists, but they also kicked it way old school, naming Gone With the Wind.
You can’t beat the classics.
Awkward star Nolan Funk said, “My favorite movie this year was by far Silver Linings Playbook. I love that movie…I love Jennifer Lawrence.”
(He had the honor of working with Jenn on House at the End of the Street–lucky guy!)
We also played a little game of “What’s in your bag?” and while there was the standard stuff (phone, tissues, makeup)–find out who was packing a money clip with a squirrel on it!

The Scoop: 9 Things You Never Knew About Hanson

Hanson has been on our radios and in our hearts for the past 21 years.Yes, that’s right, the band celebrates its 21st anniversary this year and they’ve certainly come a long way from their first professional gig back in 1992 at the Mayfest Arts Festival in Tulsa, OK, and we see no signs they will be slowing down anytime soon. They MMM-bopped their way into our hearts in 1997 and are set to release what promises to be an incredible new album, Anthem, later this spring. They joined Carrie Keagan on Big Morning Buzz Live this morning to discuss the new album, being suave partiers and, of course, to perform their new single “Get The Girl Back.”

We cannot get enough of this amazing threesome so we probed them for more, giving Isaac,Taylor and Zac Hanson The Scoop treatment. Read on to find out which brother is best at burping, what the greatest gifts they’ve received from their fans and what the best career advice they’ve received.

Submit Your ANTHEM World Tour Tickets

By | April 13, 2013

I know that a lot of fans have been getting their tickets for the ANTHEM World Tour in the mail recently.  We have set up a way for you to upload photos directly to us on the blog for us to use on the website!

We will not post any scans until the day after the show (or later) and we will also edit any personal information that may be on the ticket so you don’t need to worry about that.  We accept scans, digital photos, phone images or whatever else you need to use to get us an image 🙂  ETix and/or hard tickets are accepted as well and we do look for both where both are offered.

The only reason we ask in advance for tickets is to make sure we have them in case the venue keeps them, yours gets lost, you get it autographed and don’t want to share it (we do accept photos of autographed tickets!) or anything else that might happen.

Here is the link to submit:

And it can also be found under “Help” on the main blog page if you’re ever looking for it at a later date 🙂

Video Thumbnail: Nikki Reed Friends With HansonE!’s Marc Malkin gets the “Twilight” beauty to spill the beans on how she turned her hardcore devotion to Hanson into an actual friendship!

If we didn’t know any better, we would think Nikki Reed had an unhealthy obsession withHanson.

Yes, Hanson!

“The Hanson brothers have been friends of mine for a long time,” the Twilight star told me earlier this week at Coach’s benefit for the Children’s Defense Fund. “A few years ago, maybe three or four years ago, I actually wrote them a letter.”

And guess what—they wrote back.

“I went to some shows and I became a die-hard Hanson fan,” Reed said.

VIDEO: Find out why Nikki chopped off so much of her hair

Most recently, Hanson asked Reed, her hubby Paul McDonald and another good friend,Two Broke Girls star Kat Dennings, to be in their new music video.

McDonald has even bought a “special” Hanson ring for Reed. Unfortunately, he only knows the size of her wedding finger. “So I got this beautiful Hanson ring in gold that only fits my wedding finger,” Reed said. “I was like, ‘Really, Paul? You want me to swap this out and put the Hanson ring there? I can [but] it’s a little weird.'”

hanson2013bTo see the official, super-fun music video for “Get The Girl Back,” featuring Kat Dennings (“2 Broke Girls”) and Nikki Reed (“The Twilight Saga”), clickhere.

The video is a narrative tale that features the band performing in a packed club backed by an old-school brass section that accentuates the retro aesthetic of the song. “Anthem” was produced and written by the band and was mixed by Tom Lord-Alge. According to a news release, it features a more guitar-driven sound, pulling from a series of harder hitting rock and R&B influences from James Brown to early Michael Jackson, and AC/DC.

This year marks the 21st anniversary of Hanson. The brothers – Isaac, Taylor and Zac – have been nominated for multiple Grammys, released five studio albums, spawning a string of hit singles, including their 1997 No. 1 smash “MMMbop,” and have sold more than 16 million albums worldwide.
