Johnny Depp Wins Big at MTV Movie Awards
In a night where the MTV voters seemed to try their best to be as diverse as possible in their annual Movie Award winners, only one star of the silver screen appeared to be a unanimous fan favorite � Johnny Depp, who managed to win honors in both the Best Comedic Performance and the Best Villain categories.
"I'm not a very funny person," the actor, who could barely be heard over the screams of the audience, claimed while accepting his Best Comedic Performance award for his now-iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in last summer's mega-hit Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. "Not even remotely funny."
Looking dashingly handsome and clean-cut, Depp, who turns 45 on June 9, was called upon later in the evening to make a repeat trip to the stage when his title role in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street was awarded in the Best Villain category.
Oddly enough, though Johnny won both of these categories, it was Will Smith who voters rewarded with the Best Male Performance award for his role in I Am Legend. Joined onstage by his son Jaden, Will remembered having been at the 1988 MTV Movie Awards � except... the annual ceremony didn't begin until 1992.
For Juno star Ellen Page, who walked away from both the Oscars and Golden Globes empty-handed, she appeared to be somewhat consoled by her win in the Best Female Performance category.
Zac Efron, who was in the audience with on-off girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens, managed to thank everyone but his gal-pal during his acceptance speech for Best Breakthrough Performance in Hairspray.
Tom Cruise got down on one knee to present the Generation Award to goofball Adam Sandler, who then launched into a self-aggrandizing version of "Nobody Does It Better," after which he announced, "This is the most arrogant thing I've ever done."
Of course, what are the MTV Movie Awards without the oddball categories that give the ceremony its unique flavor? There was Best Kiss, presented to Step Up 2: The Streets' Briana Evigan and Robert Hoffman by an almost naked Rainn Wilson (thank God for strategically placed teddy bears!) and Megan Fox. And Best Fight, awarded to Never Back Down's Sean Faris and Cam Gigandet.
And one of the evening's biggest controversies came during the presentation of the Best Summer Movie So Far category, as Seth Rogen and James Franco whipped out a "pretend" baggie of marijuana and smoked a "fake" joint � "This certainly isn't good sh--," Franco told the audience after taking a puff � before presenting the award to Iron Man. However, since the cameras pulled as far away as possible from the podium during this presentation, it was hard to tell exactly what was going on onstage.

Mostly Autumn saw its origins in the mind of Bryan Josh in the early 1990?s but did non do to fruition until 1998. That was the class that he recruited Heather Findlay, Iain Jennings, Liam Davison, Angela Goldthorpe, Jonathan Blackmore and Andy Smith to create the group. They speedily began playacting gigs and released For All We Shared as a tribute Josh?s late male parent Rob. The group?s live record and blend of progressive and atmospherical stone with Celtic sounds began to pull back a lot of attention. This attention earned them a contract with G.F.T. Cyclops wHO issued For All We Shared, and the follow up, The Spirit Of Autumn Past. Their third record album, The Last Bright Light came in 2001. Their DVD release The Story So Far was released on Classic Rock Productions. 2002 saw them release Music Inspired by the Lord of the Rings, too on Classic Rock Productions.

In a short statement: Williams said: "Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken."
The mother of Ledger's two-year-old daughter Matilda added: "I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day.
"His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up in the best memories of him."
Australian star Ledger died in New York last month at the age of 28. Results of the toxicology tests, which will determine the cause of his death, are expected in the coming days.

In the early '90s, when the cross-pollination of rock, rap, and electronica swept through the popular music industry, Senser emerged as one of the more bright groups, garnering heap of attention and hype in front the London band's card splintered following only one record album. Began in South West London in the late '80s, Senser boasted a large and divers roster of musicians: Andy Clinton (DJ), Heitham Al-Sayed (vocals), Kerstin Haigh (vocals), James Barrett (bass), Nick Michaelson (guitar), John Morgan (drums), and Haggis ( These artists would integrate numerous styles -- rap, unvoiced rock and roll, terpsichore, psychedelia, electronica, and more -- into their euphony, drawing comparisons and affiliating themselves with early bands wHO took a likewise eclectic approaching such as Ozric Tentacles. An appearance at the 1992 Glastonbury Festival was the climax of Senser's early gigs. Soon, the press began championing, or at least hyping, the striation, and a phonograph record deal presently followed.
Senser's number one individual, "Eject," went unbent to number unitary in the NME independent singles chart in early 1993 and went on to become the NME independent exclusive of the year. Two more singles followed "Eject" -- "The Key" and "Switch" -- along with the band's first-class honours degree uncut, Stacked Up, which entered the national charts at act little Joe. The band toured Europe behind the album, making a sincere feat to bring such issues as racial discrimination to the bow, expressing its sentiments with both the lyrics of frontman Heitham Al-Sayed and the band's support of such organizations as the Anti-Nazi League. The band toured through 1993 and often of 1994 as well, following its high profile appearance at the Reading Festival with some other European spell, this time in support of the Rollins Band.
After so much touring, tension began to read its toll on Senser. There was a brief sabbatical from touring before Moby invited the band to support him in the U.S. and the band recognised the offer up. This stateside visit proved to be the band's breaking point, and several members -- John Morgan, Heitham Al-Sayed, and Haggis-- parted slipway in August 1995.
Despite these major losses to the band's ranks, Senser continued with Haigh as its fillet of sole singer. There was until now more touring in 1996 and a new album in 1997, Asylum, recorded with manufacturer Arthur Baker. However, during the album's transcription, Haigh became significant, finish whatsoever possibilities for touring. Showcasing until now again its resiliency, Senser soldiered on as De-Senser, an electronica branch experimenting with strictly electronic music. One drum'n'bass-styled single appeared in summer 1997, "Om." After this brief venture into saltation music, Haigh returned to the fold, and Asylum was ultimately released in summer 1998, followed by a two-month turn of the U.K. and Europe.
