Katie Price talks about keeping her kids out of the spotlight?

[Video: X17 Online Words: Candi Kays]

Aside from revealing she?s still sleeping with Alex Reid and she thinks Peter Andre is ?pure evil?, Katie Price also discussed another interesting topics during her interview with the Evening Standard.

On her recent decision to keep her kids out of the media Katie ? who we spotted glammed up for an afternoon shopping trip to a lingerie store in LA yesterday ? said:

?They?re at an age now where Junior is like, ?Mummy, I am famous. Kids at school say I am not famous but I am,? and I thought, from those remarks, that it?s time to take them out.?

Katie has decided Princess and Junior ? her two children with ex-hubby Peter Andre - will not feature in her new reality TV show, but Harvey, her son with footballer Dwight Yorke will.

?Harvey has no idea about any of it,? she explained.

So that makes it all right then?

Katie Price - An Apology

[Images:]

Yesterday we published an article which claimed that Katie Price had attended a gay lap dancing club in LA with her son Harvey.

We had repeated this claim after it appeared in the Daily Mirror and passed comment on it saying that we would love to write something nice about Katie but she does herself no favours.

Our opportunity to write something nice has come about sooner than we expected.

We accept that there is absolutely no truth in this allegation to Katie who we accept is a loving and caring mother to her children.

We thank Katie for dealing with us about this in a proper way.

Jason Statham & Rosie Huntington-Whiteley might be engaged?

[Images: X17 Online Words: Candi Kays]

Rumour has Jason Statham recently popped the question to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and she must have said yes because earlier in the week the Transformers star was spotted with a big sparkly ring on that all-important finger.

While there has been no official confirmation that they?re set to wed, the Lock Stock actor has been dating 23-year-old Rosie for well over a year, which is practically forever in celeb years, so if they?re not engaged by now they certainly should be.

Oscars Best And Worst Fashions: Experts Weigh In!

MTV News asked a pair of fashion-industry notables to share their choices for the best and worst looks in Oscars history.

The Academy Awards are just days away and that means that soon enough some of Hollywood's biggest names will be hitting the red carpet while donning some of the most haute couture they can get their hands on. But, before they hit the carpet, MTV News reached out to some fashion-world experts and asked them to weigh in on the event's best and worst looks ever, which the stars perhaps should take note of before they decide on what to wear.

We caught up with fashion-industry maven and People's Revolution founder Kelly Cutrone, as well as Faran Krentcil, digital director at Nylon magazine, who divulged their favorite and least favorite looks from Oscars history.

Best

Cameron Diaz in Oscar de la Renta, 2010:
Both Cutrone and Krentchil agreed that this was a winning look for the star. "On another actress it might have looked a little overdone, but Cameron managed to make the dress look like it was just lying on her bedroom floor, and she grabbed it on her way out of the bath. That's true star power, isn't it?" Krentcil explained.

Maggie Gyllenhaal in Dries Van Noten, 2010:
"I think that it's not that hard to put a beautiful dress on a girl and get away with it, and then there are people who really understand it ... I think that Maggie Gyllenhaal was a great example of that," Cutrone revealed. "Dries was not obvious; it's an inside brand. It's really about beauty and aesthetic."

Miley Cyrus in Jenny Packham, 2010:
Cutrone felt that Miley's look bridged the singer/actress from, well, tween star to teen star. She explained, "The truth of the matter is she has gone from a Disney star to a Vanity Fair cover girl and it brought it back to the middle. [She] really shined."

Natalie Portman in Lanvin, 2005:
"This dress was slightly see-through and the color of a gasping sea monster," Krentcil recalled of the outfit. "And its floaty shape and grey-blue-green-purple shimmer made it beyond chic."

Anne Hathaway in Valentino, 2009:
Krentcil didn't have much more to say than "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes," about why the beaded, white sheath worked so well for this year's Oscars co-host.

Worst

Charlize Theron in Dior, 2010:
"She looked ridiculous and she's so beautiful. She deserved to wear something better," Cutrone noted, adding about the outdated nature of the dress, "It looked like a Gaultier throwback piece, not like Dior. I didn't know Nancy Reagan was working for Dior."

Jennifer Lopez in Giorgio Armani Privé, 2010:
"All those angular pieces, they look bizarre, and I'm hoping that this season we get rid of the asymmetrical art pieces," Cutrone explained about the Gaga-esque style J. Lo wore.

Angelina Jolie, 2000:
Jolie went gothy that year and Krentcil explained that "the whole thing was so Addams Family weird, when she started making out with her brother, we were too distracted to notice."

Gwyneth Paltrow in Alexander McQueen, 2002:
While noting that Paltrow's Ralph Lauren dress in 1999 tops her list for great looks, Krentcil said about her 2002 look, "The thing is, the dress would have worked without the bun hair and the weird chunky necklace — go with a practically bare face and loose, wavy tresses and all of a sudden, everyone would have wondered why they weren't as cool as Gwyneth."

Kate Winslet, 1998:
"Kate Winslet was my favorite actress in high school, so I was really disappointed when she showed up in an Oscar gown that looked like Maria Von Trapp had made it from the Sound of Music curtains," Krentcil explained. "Fortunately, her Yves Saint Laurent dress last year was so amazing, it exonerated this bummer of a gown."

Will it be a regal evening for "The King's Speech"? Can "The Social Network" dial up Oscar gold? Don't miss MTV News' "2011 Oscars Live" at 6 p.m. Sunday, February 27, when we'll be chatting with your favorite Hollywood stars live from the red carpet on MTVNews.com, and stick with us all Oscar night for winners, interviews, photos and more!

Only Katie Price would party at a gay bar in LA with her 8-year-old son...

[Images: Twitter Words: Staff Writer]

Oh Katie we despair, we really do. We?d love to write something nice about you one day, but you just do yourself no favours whatsoever!

Shortly after posting a picture of herself on Twitter and telling her followers she was off out for dinner, the former glamour model was spotted partying in a gay bar in LA, which of course is no big deal, but it was the fact her 8-year-old son Harvey was there as well, which is causing great concern.

A source told The Mirror, ?She went straight to the bar and ordered a round of vodka cocktails and necked hers in seconds.?

They also revealed, ?She ended up with three transsexuals performing a lap dance for her? because that?s how she rolls.

The source then explained, ?Harvey had a whale of a time. He loved the bright swirly light.?

Well as long as he 'loved the bright swirly light' we guess that?s okay then.

Kristin Davis Is 'Not So Into' A 'Sex And The City' Prequel

Actress says adaptation of Candace Bushnell's 'Carrie Diaries' would be 'kind of freaky.'
By Eric Ditzian

That makes two of 'em. First Sarah Jessica Parker let it be known that she doesn't think the idea of a rumored "Sex and the City" prequel is such a hot idea. Now her co-star on the big and small screen, Kristin Davis, has joined her in putting down the rumored project.

"Not so into the prequel movie," she told E! Online. "Because we're us and we've discussed our history in the show already so for all of our fervent fans who listen to what we say, why would we rewrite that? And then have like different people with our names? It's kind of freaky."

Earlier this month, reports suggested that studio execs were discussing an adaptation of "The Carrie Diaries," Candace Bushnell's 2010 novel that follows Carrie Bradshaw before she arrived in the Big Apple. Writer/director Michael Patrick King was said to be eying Blake Lively to take on the Bradshaw role in what was described as not an '80s flashback flick, but a more contemporary vision of the character's younger selves. Lively has since denied she'd be starring in the film.

While the first "Sex and the City" movie became an international smash hit in 2008, grossing over $400 million at the worldwide box office, last summer's follow-up ended up a critical punching bag and failed to cross the $100 million mark domestically. Nonetheless, Parker and Davis are holding out hope for a third film.

"I don't think we can pretend to go back. It's creating two histories," Parker told the Los Angeles Times of the prequel idea, but added of a third film featuring the established cast, "I think there's one more story to tell. I know there is."

Said Davis, "I'm always hopeful, and I always believe there's another story to tell because these are these women's lives, so why wouldn't there be another chapter. [But] I don't know if it will happen."

Black Swan Star Mila Kunis Poses for W: I Screamed the First Time I Put on a Pointe Shoe

Mila0217.jpg
In Mila Kunis? critically acclaimed role in Black Swan, it seems the actress was born a dancer. However, according to Mila, she didn?t dance much before the part and she will probably never dance again.

"I trained for four months, seven days a week, five hours a day? I lost 20 pounds," the former That ?70s Show star admitted in the cover story of W Magazine's March issue. ?I tore a ligament. I dislocated my shoulder? I have two scars on my back.?

Despite challenging roles in the past, the star says even ?Christian Louboutins? couldn?t prepare her for this undertaking.

?I was like, 'Well, I wear heels; I can do this.' I was wrong? I screamed the first time I put on a pointe shoe,? Mila admits. ?It was worth every minute. But I will never dance again.?

'Unknown' Schools The Box-Office Competition

'I Am Number Four' opens at a disappointing #3 over the holiday weekend.
By Ryan J. Downey

Liam Neeson has a solid future as an action hero if he wants it, but "I Am Number Four" may have stumbled in its attempt to build a new sci-fi young-adult franchise, according to box-office receipts.

"Unknown" took in an estimated $25.6 million over the four-day President's Day weekend, making the Alfred Hitchcock-inspired Neeson thriller #1. Family-friendly CG-animated film "Gnomeo & Juliet," in its second week of release, was just behind with $24.8 million, according to reports. "I Am Number Four" was a surprising third with a $22.6 million theatrical debut.

The success of "Unknown" follows on the heels of 2008's "Taken," the surprise smash with somewhat similar themes that proved a capable action vehicle for Neeson, the 58-year-old actor who was previously better known for dramatic fare. "Unknown" co-stars January Jones ("Mad Men") and Diane Kruger ("Inglourious Basterds"), and was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra ("Orphan").

With echoes of the supernatural alienation of "Twilight" and the soapiness of CW dramas (some of the folks involved worked on "Smallville" and "Angel"), "I Am Number Four" is based on a young adult novel with obvious eyes toward sequels woven into the plot, about an alien war that comes to Earth. The movie cost between $50 and $59 million to produce, according to the Los Angeles Times, which means the somewhat soft-opening doesn't bode well for Disney's future plans with the franchise.

Speaking of sequels, "Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son" debuted with $19 million to land at #5. Both prior entries in the fat-suit-driven Martin Lawrence comedy series — "Big Momma's House" and "Big Momma's House 2" — opened much stronger in 2000 and 2006, respectively.

The Adam Sandler/ Jennifer Aniston comedy "Just Go With It" dropped to #4 in its second week of release with $18.2 million — roughly a 40 percent drop from its debut. Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never" fell much harder, taking in $13.6 million in its second weekend, a 54 percent drop. The 3-D documentary has taken in $48.2 million, however, which is far more than its reported $13 million production budget.

The overall box-office numbers were down roughly 30 percent from last year's $240 million gross the same weekend. "Avatar" 's strength in theaters certainly didn't hurt around that time.

Skins Cast Loves Jersey Shore

Skins_Shore0214.jpg
MTV's new hit series Skins, which follows the lives of a group of high school friends as they take on the many challenges of adolescence, has been getting lots of attention for its depiction of drugs and teen sex. In Touch learns exclusively what the cast has to say about the controversy and their take on our friends at the Jersey Shore.

"The idea of television is to put something out there and create a buzz, and everyone is entitled to their own opinions," says Skins star James Newman. "There has also been a great overflow of positive feedback for every negative thing said... that's what TV is."

While many question whether the show accurately depicts teenagers today, co-star Sofia Black D'Elia says the relationships in the show can be "easily relatable" to any teenager.

"Their modes of thought and just the basic traits of each character are very realistic," she says. "You went to school with all those kids, you know those kids.

"As for what other MTV show the Skins stars can't get enough of each week, actor Daniel Flaherty admits the cast "loves" Jersey Shore.

"The whole cast sort of chats about it post-show. We are all definitely watching it and have been watching it for a while!" he says.

And after news of the recent breakup between Jersey Shore's Sammi Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Daniel says he hopes the two get back together. "I feel like they can work it out. It was just really sad and emotional."

Justin Bieber's 'Never Say Never' Re-Release: Five Secrets Revealed

Director Jon M. Chu reveals more about the 40 minutes of new footage fans will see this weekend.
By Eric Ditzian

By now, most citizens of Bieber nation have undoubtedly canceled all weekend plans, purchased advance tickets for the super-size version of "Never Say Never," and are plotting the most stress-free path toward the multiplex to catch the revamped film's arrival in 3-D theaters on Friday (February 25).

But what exactly will you find up on the big screen when you slip on those purple 3-D glasses just three weeks after the original flick debuted? Team Bieber has promised over half an hour of new Justin-approved video, including fresh performances, footage from pre-release screenings and further glimpses at Justin's downtime with his pals.

That's a little vague for our liking, so we hit up director Jon M. Chu for some insight into what's being touted as a "Director's Fan Cut." Here are five secrets revealed!

There Are 40 Minutes of New Footage, Not 30
In a YouTube video announcement, Chu told fans that the new version would include 30 minutes of new footage. But a subsequent Paramount press release pegged the number at 40 minutes. So which is it?

"That was my mistake!" laughed Chu. "I didn't time it out. I was like, 'I'll just say over 30 minutes, and we'll be good to go. But they timed it and it is 40 minutes. The point is, there's a crapload of stuff in there.

"We originally had a two-and-a-half-hour version of the movie, which we obviously couldn't release," he added. "So we started to think about putting stuff back in that didn't have to do with our story but that we knew people would love."

"Omaha Mall" Is Coming for You
This rock/rap tune became a fan favorite after Bieber posted it on YouTube, and the reworked "Never Say Never" will pull back the curtain on the song's creation for the first time on the big screen.

"We see the creation of 'Omaha Mall' and how that came to be," Chu told us. "We also get to see way more baby videos. We sit on a lot more shots, so it's like you're sitting with him in the living room, just watching."

Get Ready for Bieber's Abs
"Twilight" fans know what to expect when they hit the multiplex for the first viewing of a franchise film: Taylor Lautner without a shirt on. But Beliebers may have been surprised — and, no doubt, delighted — to sit down for "Never Say Never" and be treated to scene after scene of Justin sans T-shirt. When it comes to the new version, fans should expect even more skin.

"I can't confirm nor deny those reports, but we do what the fans want," Chu laughed. "If that's what the fans want, then they'll get a little bit more. Maybe some abs!"

You'll Truly See What It's Like to Be Bieber's Buddy
Such is the effect of Bieber Fever that the singer's friends, Ryan Butler and Chaz Somer, have become stars in their own rights. And while they pop up a bit in the movie, Chu said that fans couldn't get enough of these two Canadian teens.

"Chaz and Ryan have their own followings, and one of the biggest pieces of feedback we got is that fans want more Chaz and Ryan," the director said. "In this version, we get to see what it's like to be part of the entourage. We go to their homes in Stratford. People call from all around the world and disrupt their dinners. It's absolutely insane. They're superstars."

Hello, "Favorite Girl"!
While the re-cut flick introduces 40 minutes of new footage, the overall running time is only 10 minutes longer. So what did Chu cut? He took out Bieber's lengthy, pre-MSG visit to the doctor, added in new scenes of tickets being given away outside concerts and swapped out some performances that didn't make it into the original release.

"Before we had to make a choice between 'Favorite Girl' and 'Never Let You Go,' because they're the same [in-concert] set-up with the heart," he said. "We couldn't play both. So this time, we made the choice to have 'Favorite Girl,' which is one of my favorite songs that he plays. People are going to love it."

'Apollo 18' Trailer Premieres Online

'Cloverfield'-style found-footage flick posits aliens are reason man hasn't been back to moon.
By Shawn Adler


Official poster for "Apollo 18"

Everybody knows that man last set foot on the moon in 1972. The brand-new trailer for "Apollo 18," which premiered Friday on Apple.com, asks the question: "Why haven't we been back?"

From director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego and producer Timur Bekmambetov, the trailer for "Apollo 18" mixes what appears to be archival footage of early space shuttle launches with "Paranormal Activity" -style "found footage" of a secret 1973 mission to the lunar surface, supposedly kept hidden from the public because of what the astronauts discovered.

"In the years following [Apollo 17] there was unconfirmed intelligence of an 18th mission," the trailer reads. "No evidence has ever been found. Until now."

Although not made explicit, the "Cloverfield" -style flick showcases several alarming incidents in its trailer, including a number of shots where it's clear the astronauts are not alone on the seemingly barren and deserted satellite. One particularly jarring shot shows one of the astronauts infected to the point of possession; another shows several non-human footprints in the gray lunar dust.

Conspiracy theories aside, and depending on your perspective, there actually was an Apollo 18 mission. Launched in 1975, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project was a joint mission between US and Russian forces, officially and symbolically ending the great space race of the preceding decade.

The alternate history story is the English language debut of Spanish auteur Lopez-Gallego. Released by Dimension Films, "Apollo 18" will hit theaters April 22.

Vinney_JerseyShore0216.jpg
Reality TV star Vinny Guadagnino has taken on real acting jobs ? and they don?t involve fist pumping at the Jersey Shore! With a guest role in the upcoming MTV comedy show The Hard Times of RJ Berger, Vinny revealed to In Touch that despite his excitement for the new season, his acting career is ?going great!?

?You guys are going to see once that comes out that I?m really serious about it,? Vinny told In Touch at the Enclave nightclub in Chicago on February 12. ?I?m actually acting rather than just going up there like, ?Hey, I?m on Jersey Shore!??

The MTV show is a comedy series about an outcast who gains popularity at his high school after he realizes he has an anatomical gift.

?Every week I work more and more at it. I go to classes and join little improv groups just so I can really master it,? Vinny said.

Vinny has been assigned to appear in one episode, which airs March 28.

?I want people to take this transition seriously because I know that no one does,? he said. ?I can?t wait to prove them wrong.?

Paris Hilton Celebrates Turning 30

Paris0218.jpg
Paris Hilton celebrated her birthday in style in New York on Thursday, and the heiress revealed to In Touch she was "a little worried" about turning 30.

"It sounds like a big number, but, you know, I feel so proud and accomplished for what I've done at this age," says the star, who oversees 17 different product lines, including shoes, handbags, perfumes, apparel, sunglasses, champagne, lingerie and a line of fake nails, eyelashes and hair extensions. "When I was a little girl, I never thought that this would all be happening right now."

Paris told In Touch the most expensive item she has invested in is jewelry.

"Cartier watches, the Panther Collection. But they're timeless. They're timeless pieces," she said.

As for the celeb closet Paris would love to raid, her decision was a quick one.

"I love Victoria Beckham's style," she said. "She always looks so gorgeous and put together. I love the way she dresses."

'Apollo 18' Trailer Premieres Online

'Cloverfield'-style found-footage flick posits aliens are reason man hasn't been back to moon.

Everybody knows that man last set foot on the moon in 1972. The brand-new trailer for "Apollo 18," which premiered Friday on Apple.com, asks the question: "Why haven't we been back?"

From director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego and producer Timur Bekmambetov, the trailer for "Apollo 18" mixes what appears to be archival footage of early space shuttle launches with "Paranormal Activity" -style "found footage" of a secret 1973 mission to the lunar surface, supposedly kept hidden from the public because of what the astronauts discovered.

"In the years following [Apollo 17] there was unconfirmed intelligence of an 18th mission," the trailer reads. "No evidence has ever been found. Until now."

Although not made explicit, the "Cloverfield" -style flick showcases several alarming incidents in its trailer, including a number of shots where it's clear the astronauts are not alone on the seemingly barren and deserted satellite. One particularly jarring shot shows one of the astronauts infected to the point of possession; another shows several non-human footprints in the gray lunar dust.

Conspiracy theories aside, and depending on your perspective, there actually was an Apollo 18 mission. Launched in 1975, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project was a joint mission between US and Russian forces, officially and symbolically ending the great space race of the preceding decade.

The alternate history story is the English language debut of Spanish auteur Lopez-Gallego. Released by Dimension Films, "Apollo 18" will hit theaters April 22.

Adrianne Palicki Cast As Wonder Woman

'Friday Night Lights' star will play Wonder Woman, her public persona, Diana Themyscira, and private persona, Diana Prince, in new TV series.
By Terri Schwartz

"Friday Night Lights" star Adrianne Palicki has landed the coveted role of Wonder Woman in a forthcoming TV series based on the iconic comic book superhero made famous by Lynda Carter in the 1970s.

The Amazonian superhero has struggled to get herself to the screen over the past decade, but now that NBC has nabbed David E. Kelley's "Wonder Woman" TV series, production is finally under way. And it makes sense that Palicki, who spent three seasons on "Friday Night Lights," is the woman who landed the lead, considering "Friday Night Lights" director and producer Jeffrey Reiner is directing the show's pilot episode.

To see what Adrianne Palicki might look like as the new Wonder Woman, click here.

TV Line broke the news that Palicki will be playing Wonder Woman, but Kelley's show will demand that the 5' 11", 27-year-old actress play her two other personas as well. In addition to the titular crime-fighting DC comics superhero, now reinvented as a Los Angeles-based vigilante, Palicki will be playing Wonder Woman's public persona, mega-billionaire CEO Diana Themyscira, as well as her private persona, Diana's "plain Jane" assistant Diana Prince.

After Palicki's casting was announced, former Wonder Woman Lynda Carter tweeted her approval, saying, "Congratulations Adrianne!"

Palicki is far from a stranger to the small screen. In addition to her well-known stint on the recently ended "Friday Night Lights," she starred in the short-lived TV shows "Lone Star" and "Aquaman," and memorably guest-starred in "Supernatural," "Criminal Minds" and "Robot Chicken." She also recently worked big-screen projects, with major starring roles in 2010's "Legion" and the upcoming "Red Dawn" remake.

In recent years, Hollywood actresses from Jennifer Love Hewitt to Beyoncé have vied for the starring role in the big-screen version of "Wonder Woman."

Henry Cavill Reveals How He Became Superman

Director Zack Snyder says actor exuded 'crazy-calm confidence.'
By Eric Ditzian

Less than three weeks after Henry Cavill was tapped to be the latest actor to pull on Superman's tights in Warner Bros.' rebooted take on the iconic hero, the 27-year-old actor is stepping into the public eye as the face of the franchise.

Cavill graces the upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly, not suited up like the Man of Steel but wearing a faded "S shield" T-shirt underneath a leather jacket. Of course, he did have to don Superman's duds to win the role. In fact, according to director Zack Snyder, the tights he tried on were a replica of the ones worn by former Superman Christopher Reeve.

"If you can put on that suit and pull it off, that's an awesome achievement," Snyder said.

While Cavill had packed on muscle for Tarsem Singh's action-fantasy, "Immortals," he had to shed the weight for his latest gig — a starring role opposite Bruce Willis in "The Cold Light of Day" — and the prospect of trying on Superman's costume had him feeling more than a little anxious.

"All I could think was: Oh, god. They're going to look at me and go, 'He's not Superman. Not a chance,' " Cavill admitted. "The actor inside me was going: 'You're not ready! You're not ready!' "

Cavill could certainly be excused for his apprehension. The Brit had numerous close calls with major franchises. He was previously attached to a role as Superman, but lost out after McG exited the project and Bryan Singer eventually signed on to direct. Cavill also was reportedly considered to play Batman, James Bond and Green Lantern, but was passed up each time.

This time, however, Snyder took one look at Cavill in the Super-suit and knew he could play the Man of Steel. "He walked out, and no one laughed," the director said. "Other actors put that suit on, and it's a joke, even if they're great actors. Henry put it on, and he exuded this kind of crazy-calm confidence that just made me go, 'Wow.' OK: This was Superman."

Cheryl and Simon quit X Factor UK?

[Images: Mr Paparazzi/Big Pictures Words: Laura Perks]

A while ago now Louis Walsh suggested that Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole were not intending return to the judging panel for X Factor UK so that they could focus all their attention on the new US version of the show instead.

At the time we thought Louis was just talking crap, but it seems as though he was telling the truth after all. Inside sources have told the News of The World that Cowell has told ITV:

"I'm committed to the American show and I'm not going to do both."

And it seems as though Cheryl has told them the same thing, leaving TV bosses in a state of shock.

They?re now deciding whether or not to shake up the judging panel completely by getting rid of Dannii and Louis as well and replacing them with a new batch of celebrities.

In typically egotistical style, it seems as though Cowell?s biggest headache is finding someone who can replace him. A source said:

"He has a lot of work to do. He knows he is going to struggle to top last year's series. And with Simon and Cheryl not there, the whole thing could feel very flat."

We don?t know about you, but we?re actually quite excited by the idea of having a judging panel shake-up, we're sure it can survive without Cowell?

'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never': Five Burning Questions Answered!

We cornered director Jon Chu and pressed him about deleted scenes, sequel plans and more.
By Kara Warner

As expected, Justin Bieber's feature film debut, "Never Say Never," fared well at the box office in its opening weekend. The 3-D movie came in at #2, not far behind Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston's "Just Go With It," which bested Biebs by $700,000 in ticket sales.

And given the dedication of the teen star's Beliebers, it's likely the movie will continue to pull in the cash over the next few weeks. But for those who've seen the film and were left wanting more, MTV News enlisted director Jon Chu to address our five burning questions about the film.

How Many Fan Videos Made the Final Cut?
"We put a lot [in the film]," Chu said. "When we first started the film, we asked a lot of people to submit lip-syncing videos, fan videos, to see where it could fit into the fabric of our movie and we found lots of fun ways. Sometimes it's a screen grab on some of the Twitter messages that he gets sent, sometimes it's part of a mosaic, where they're all singing to Justin wherever they may be in the world. I don't know the exact number. ... But there are a lot we used for just a little bit, so you have to kind of go back and take a picture of it so you can see yourself."

Any Extra Footage for the DVD?
"On a regular movie, I usually have three or four terabytes of footage, which is a lot. I shoot a lot," Chu explained. "For this movie we had over 30 terabytes of film. This goes from his youth, to him playing sports to him on the road before we got there and then us when we actually got there, as well as all of the 3-D cameras we had. There were 11 3-D cameras shooting the concerts. There's a lot of footage. There is a lot of stuff I wish we could've fit into this movie and hopefully we'll find a way to fit in another one.

"There's really funny, great stuff, but our main thing was to tell the core story of how he got here as a human being and his relationship with his family, his new family and how he fought to accomplish his dreams. We really laser-focused on those things."

What Are the DVD Plans?
"We're thinking about what other things you could use this material for because there is a lot of it; a lot of funny stuff," the director teased. His pranks, and all those things — we have some in the movie, but we have a lot more, and we've been talking about how to creatively put it in a DVD. Not just, 'Oh, here's a clip of this, and here's a clip of that,' but to wrap it up in some sort of form. We're working on that now."

When Will the DVD Be Released?
"I don't know the exact date, but I think it would be this year at some point. [Possibly] in time for the holiday season."

Has Paramount Asked For a Sequel?
"In my mind, when I started this, I always told Paramount that it's the first of a trilogy. This is the first step of his career and it would be really interesting to come back in six years and see where he is and what's happened, and then six years after that. Whether that's a reality or not, we'll see, but I know that this is a really fascinating story. It's an origin story of someone I look up to and respected a lot through this process and I didn't know that I would necessarily."
