Do Foo Fighters Know Robert Pattinson From Robert Plant?

During band's rehearsal break for Sunday's Movie Awards, we put Foos to the test.
By Ryan J. Downey, with reporting by Jim Cantiello

<P><b>UNIVERSAL CITY, California</b> &#8212; Hard rock, heavy metal, hardcore and punk have long gone hand-in-hand with evil wizards, magic, vampires and werewolves. And with a collective sub-cultural pedigree that includes stints in the Germs, No Use for a Name, Sunny Day Real Estate, Scream and some band called Nirvana, you'd think the <a href="/music/artist/foo_fighters/artist.jhtml">Foo Fighters</a> &#8212; set to perform at Sunday's <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/movieawards/2011/">Movie Awards</a> &#8212; would know their "Potter" from their Zeppelin. Certainly they can recognize a "wand" reference and pinpoint its origin? </P><P> </P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="The Foo Fighters Take The Movie Awards Quiz" id="vid:660301.id:1664959" width="240" height="211"></div><p> </P><P> </P><P>Right? Before we put MTV News' magically crafted trivia to the band, it seemed safe to assume the Foos would accurately distinguish between the words of Harry Potter, a "Twilight" character and Led Zeppelin. But was their underground nerd cred blown to shreds? Read on &#8212; and click the video! &#8212; to see how the Foo Fighters fared when we caught up with them on the Universal Studios lot, shortly after they finished rehearsing their <a href="/news/articles/1664297/foo-fighters-mtv-movie-awards.jhtml">Movie Awards performance</a>. </P><P> </P><P>Our own Jim Cantiello played dungeon master as Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear were given a series of semi-famous lines and asked whether they originated with "Harry Potter," the "Twilight Saga" or the lyrics of hard-rock pioneers Led Zeppelin. </P><P> </P><P>Here's a sampling of a few of those one-liners: </P><P> </P><P><b>&#187;</b> "The elder wand, the most powerful wand ever made." </P><P> </P><P><b>&#187;</b> "Why don't you let me be yours ever truly? Can I make your garden grow?" </P><P> </P><P><b>&#187;</b> "You're lying, Dolores! You mustn't tell lies!" </P><P> </P><P>Can you guess whether the lines above came from the "Potter" flicks, "Twilight" or Robert Plant? </P><P> </P><P>Watch as the Foos try their best to do exactly that. Then tune in to the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday to catch the Foo Fighters rock the stage with their new single, "Walk." </P><P> </P><P><b>Will wizards, vampires or dream thieves steal the <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/movieawards/2011/">2011 MTV Movie Awards</a>?

Joe Manganiello: People’s Hottest Bachelor for 2014

Making all the ladies swoon, Joe Manganiello was named People's Hottest Bachelor.

In the upcoming issue of the mag, the “True Blood” star describes his personality and said, "I am part Sicilian. I am passionate. I am a hot-blooded person. If you don't like spicy, then maybe I'm not for you."

Joe also opened up about his first crush, which was Princess Leia. He also talked about his perfect kiss and said, “like you’re off the planet.”

The hottie continued about whether or not he believes in true love, "I think the crazy love that you fall into in the beginning turns into 'like' and 'need.' Chris Rock told me that! He's like, 'Kid, you wanna get married? Listen, there's love, and you can feel love the first night, but that's not what it is. It's, 'I like you and I need you.'"

As for Manganiello’s favorite part of a woman he says, "I'm big into smell. It's funny I got cast as a werewolf. There's something about the smell on that part of a woman's neck where it meets the jaw, ahhhh! It's heaven."

BET Flubs Spelling of Lionel Richie’s Name!

He was the distinguished guest of honor at the 2014 BET Awards last night (June 29), and Lionel Richie's Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech was almost flawless.

The “Dancing on the Ceiling” singer began to read his piece when the graphic on the screen misspelled his last name- Ritchie (it’s really Richie).

Fans began taking to Twitter to criticize the network for the error, with one man writing, “You really didn't misspell his name, @BETAwards!!!!???? C'mon y'all!!! OMG!!!”

Nonetheless, Lionel declared, "Soul is a feeling. Not a color. Talent is a God-given gift, and not a category. Out of the box is that magical place where talent -– pure talent goes -– to live and thrive and breath. And may you never give that up as long as you're in this business."

This Is Your Inspirational Video of the Day

Thirty-three-year-old Barney Miller is an Australian surfer. He’s also a quadriplegic. Red Bull posted a video profiling a day in his life as a way to raise awareness about spinal cord injury research. The clip starts with him brushing his teeth and ends with Barney riding waves with his buddies. So far it’s been watched more than 130,000 times on YouTube, and once you push “play” you’ll understand why.

Elizabeth Olsen: Volume 8 - The Romance cover of Bullett Magazine

Elizabeth Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen looked enchanting in a white Channel dress with Dior jewelry in the cover of Bullett Magazine - Volume 8 - The Romance Issue.

The 23-year-old actress accompanying interview are as follows.

On her ‘Liberal Arts’ character zibby offering Jesse her virginity:
“Being 35 and taking a girl’s virginity? That’s crazy… If I were an older man and I saw a girl my age, who maybe didn’t know herself that well, I would find her so unappealing, because if you’re in it for sex, the sex won’t be that great. But when I see a woman in her 40s and up, I think, God, you know a lot. One day, I’ll get to be desired like you.”

On her supportive father:
“My dad’s greatest pleasure is watching his kids do what they want to do. Nowadays, he loves going to my sisters’ fashion shows or coming to visit me on set.”

On her thought that being single is necessary to love thyself:
“It’s made me appreciate the things that I need to feel fulfilled. Sometimes, when I’m in a relationship, I get so excited to be around the other person that I forget to indulge the things that I need to be happy on a day-to-day basis. Or at least I did—I’m such a different person now than I was two years ago.”

On working hard to make a name for herself on her own:
“There’s definitely a reason why I went to so many acting conservatories. The more I trained, the less people could say, ‘Oh, she’s just so-and-so’s sister.’ They can still say that, sure—I have no control over that—but at least I know I’ve worked hard. There was definitely a time when I overcompensated, but I’m kind of over that.”

Director Josh Radnor on Elizabeth Olsen:
“You’d be surprised by how many young actors show up not knowing their lines,” he says. “Lizzie isn’t one of them. She puts a lot of thought into her characters, but she doesn’t show her homework.”

JESSICA ALBA & CASH WARREN Decked Out In White For Friend’s Wedding

Jessica Alba & Cash Warren Attend A Friend's WeddingFun! Jessica Alba and Cash Warren look like they had a great time at a friend’s wedding. As you can see from the pics, Jessica and Cash are both wearing white, as did all of the guests. The bride and groom wore black. The bride actually wore a chic pantsuit, which you can see in the gallery. RELATED: Jessica Alba indulging in sweet treats in NYC.

Clearly the dress code for this wedding was unconventional! This wedding also looked like fun. Check out the pics of Jessica, Cash and the other guests blowing bubbles. I’m guessing they blew the bubbles as the bride and groom exited the court house.

These pictures got me thinking, though. I was at a wedding last weekend, and one of the guests wore white. This was a traditional wedding where the bride wore white. Some of my older relatives were AGHAST that a guest wore white; they thought she was trying to upstage the bride. Do you think it matters anymore if guests wear white? Clearly the were asked to in the case of Jessica and Cash’s friends, but if that isn’t specified, do you think guests should avoid wearing white to a wedding?
