MTV Movie Awards: 6 Reasons We're Excited
This Sunday, the MTV Movie Awards (9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT) will air for the 21st time. This spicy, irreverent show isn't exactly the Oscars -- its trophy is a statue of popcorn, people -- but it's one of MTV's most enjoyable (and most watched) events. This year, The Hunger Games and Bridesmaids will battle it out for the most trophies. (Each scored eight nominations.) Here are six reasons we can't wait for Sunday...

Of all the unique and outlandish categories that the MTV Movie Awards have been known for each year, 2012's new addition, Best Gut-Wrenching Performance, might be the most unique, outlandish and downright cringe-worthy of all.
So what is a gut-wrenching moment? For our purposes, it is that one unforgettable scene in a recent movie that was so outrageous, disturbing or just plain gross that you had a physical reaction whilst watching it. A literal wrenching of your guts.
No matter your reaction to this year's very diverse nominees, be it the poo pies, head stomping or group food poisoning, we can almost guarantee the nominated moments in this new category left an impression on you. Here's a closer look at those five gut-wrenching movie moments:
Bryce Dallas-Howard, "The Help"
For those who've seen "The Help," there's not much to say about this other than revenge is best served cold, in the form of a poo-laced pie. In the scene, Dallas-Howard — a double nominee this year — who plays the cringe-worthy and hateful villain Hilly Holbrook, scarfs down what looks to be a delicious chocolate pie. Hilly and the audience soon find out that the pie has an extra "special" ingredient: poop.
Jonah Hill and Rob Riggle, "21 Jump Street"
Moving on to our next nominee, from poop to a detached penis. (Did we mention these moments are gut-wrenching?) In the final few minutes of one of the year's funniest comedies, "21 Jump Street," Jonah Hill accidentally shoots off Rob Riggle's penis, after which the handcuffed and injured party is forced to retrieve his dismembered man parts with his mouth. Bonus fact about this scene: Riggle improvised the mouth pick-up.
Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper, "Bridesmaids"
While there are multiple memorable scenes in "Bridesmaids," one of them stands out as the messiest. While shopping at a swanky boutique for their dresses, the bride and her five bridesmaids are simultaneously hit with a tidal wave of food poisoning that causes them to lose their lunch in every conceivable way.
Ryan Gosling, "Drive"
While Ryan Gosling made many women swoon with his wooing of Emma Stone in "Crazy, Stupid, Love," his turn as the cold, calculated and deadly driver in "Drive" had the opposite effect. Gosling's most gut-wrenching scene is a furious display of skull stomping never before seen on film. Talk about cringe-worthy, that elevator stomp is off the charts.
Tom Cruise, "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol"
This last nominated moment is the least gross of the bunch and also the most impressive given the physical feat achieved to produce it. In "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol," Tom Cruise's super spy Ethan Hunt scales the planet's tallest building, Dubai's Burj Khalifa, in a race against a nuclear clock. Cruise actually performed the stunt, which required him to dangle a mere 2,700 feet from the ground.

'Magic Mike' Cast Had No Problem Getting Naked
'It was hilarious that none of them really balked,' Channing Tatum tells MTV News during Movie Awards Sneak Peek Week.

Struggling actors are no strangers to the odd job — be it waiting tables, walking dogs or washing cars. Few, however, would admit to taking their clothes off for cash, and even fewer would later document their sordid side gig in a feature film helmed by an Oscar-winning director. But few actors are Channing Tatum.
As part of our Sneak Peek Week leading up to the 2012 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, Tatum, along with "Magic Mike" co-star Matthew McConaughey and producer/screenwriter Reid Carolin, took to the Universal CityWalk stage in L.A. to debut an exclusive clip and chat about their stripper flick, out June 29. And while Tatum doesn't shy away from talking about his past, it took a little convincing from director Steven Soderbergh to convince the actor his story was big-screen-worthy.
"I was having a beer with Soderbergh — we were doing a movie together — and I told him about [my past stripping]. I'd been doing it for eight months of my life when I was, like, 18 or 19, and he said, 'We gotta make a movie out of that.' And I was like, 'Why? Why do we need to do that?' And he said, 'I've never seen that world on film before.' And then we really started talking about that, and we thought it would be really hilarious but still grounded in reality."
So the two set out to bring "Magic Mike" to life — without studio funding.
"We put money into it and did it ourselves," Tatum explained. "I don't know if people realize it, but it was an independent movie."
An independent movie, albeit with an impressive cast including Joe Manganiello, Matt Bomer and Matthew McConaughey, who said he simply couldn't turn down an offer from Soderbergh to play groovy club owner Dallas.
"He pitched me the story, and 10 minutes into it, I was on my knees in my house laughing," McConaughey recalled. "And I said, 'Tell me, any words of advice?' And he said, 'This guy, Dallas, he's connected to the UFOs in space.' And then I said, 'Anything else?' And he said, 'You really can't go wrong.' And I said, 'I'm in.' "
And that's when the real work began. Tatum took McConaughey to a male revue in New Orleans so he could get a glimpse into that world. "He loved it," Tatum recalled with a grin.
In fact, according to Tatum, none of the men seemed too worried about dropping trou. "The first day of rehearsals, I looked at the guys and we went through our stuff, and I was like, 'All right. It's time to get naked, boys.' And it was hilarious that none of them really balked."
And neither did the female extras on set, who couldn't seem to calm their excitement during McConaughey's solo performance, in particular. "We could not get the women to sit down in the front row," recalled Tatum with a laugh. "They just ran at the stage."
