MTV just debuted exclusive footage from "The Dark Knight Rises" during their movie awards show.

If you missed out on the incredible clip, we have you covered.

The spot, which aired during the last 15 minutes of the two hour extravaganza (naturally), showcased nearly 90 seconds of Tom Hardy as Bane and Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman that it's a wonder the pair weren't there. 

Instead, director Christopher Nolan along with stars Christian Bale, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Gary Oldman presented the explosive, action-packed footage.

You'll probably need to see it more than once.

"Snow White and the Huntsman" debuted much bigger than anticipated, giving the Universal film the fourth-largest debut this year behind "The Avengers," "The Hunger Games" and "The Lorax." 

It looks like all of that "This Is No Fairy Tale" campaigning toward men paid off, considering a 47 percent male audience.

That's good news for Universal, considering the less-than-stellar outcomes of its two previous releases, "Battleship" and "The Five-Year Engagement." 

Meanwhile, the "Men in Black" sequel holds steady coming off of a strong Memorial Day Weekend and Fox Searchlight's "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" climbs through the ranks.  

Off the list: We finally bid farewell to "The Hunger Games" after a ten-week run and Steve Harvey's "Think Like a Man" which earned $89 million through its six weeks on the chart.

10. "For Greater Glory," the film chronicling the Mexican Cristeros War, opened to a paltry $1.8 million.

9. "Horror flick, "Chernobyl Diaries," following tourists through an abandoned city, home to Chernobyl nuclear reactor workers, dropped four spots in its second week earning $3 million.

8. "Dark Shadows" drops nearly 50 percent in box office ticket sales with $3.8 million. The film has yet to make half of its $150 million budget.

"Spartacus" will end its run with its upcoming third season, entitled "Spartacus: War of the Damned," Starz announced Monday.

The final season will air in January. It ends a run that began with the first season, "Spartacus: Blood and Sand," in January 2010.

"We did not come to this decision lightly," said creator and executive producer Steven S. DeKnight. "It was an extremely difficult and emotional decision for my partners and I. Yet, in the end, the story was best served by rolling all of the remaining action and drama of Spartacus' journey into one stunningly epic season that will be extremely satisfying for everyone who's been along for the ride."

The show nearly came to an end after its first season when original Spartacus Andy Whitfield was unable to return because of his battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He was replaced by Liam McIntyre, and died in September 2011.

Starz CEO Chris Albrecht said in January of 2011 that the network debated whether to bring the show back. On Monday, he called it "one of the most groundbreaking shows we have ever seen."

"We did not come to this decision lightly." — creator and executive producer, Steven S. DeKnight.

"’Spartacus’ is a landmark series for the network which has enthralled millions of viewers and fans around the world," he said. "We are in agreement with our partners in the decision to conclude the story after ‘War of the Damned,’ as we believe it is the best way to maintain the integrity of the series and secure its legacy.”

"What is happiness? The moment before happiness." — Don Draper

Eventually the celebratory champagne from winning a new client goes flat. Jaguar is not Chevy. Mohawk Air is not American. There's always something better and (maybe) more fulfilling. The penultimate episode of this season's Mad Men, "Commissions and Fees," chronicled a depressing truth: While moments of happiness are fleeting, moments of extreme sadness can have permanent consequences.

This whole season has been pointing to a suicide. Salon wrote an exhaustive article about why it could be Pete. We stomped our feet and put our hands over our ears when rumors flew that Roger wouldn't make it to season six. But in the end it was Lane Pryce who did not survive the season.

Ken Cosgrove told Roger, "No I don’t want to be a partner. I’ve seen what’s involved.” While Joan traded her body for a seat at the big table and Peggy left before she had a chance to have her name on the door, viewers didn't understand its true cost until they watched the partners cut down Lane's lifeless body, hanging from his office door.

The fall of Lane Pryce.

It is impossible to begin this recap with any story line other than Lane's.

The first episode of the season hinted that the British partner had money troubles, which we soon found out was overdue taxes on his portfolio (which he couldn't afford to pay since he had invested every last cent in SCDP). So Lane forged Don's signature on a check for a Christmas bonus that he wasn't supposed to receive ... and then he got caught.

And so a day that began with promise—Lane had ironically been appointed head of the 4A's fiscal control committee at a breakfast over English muffins—ended with Don demanding his resignation over a stiff drink. "I've started over a lot Lane," Don said, promising not to disclose the reason for his departure to the rest of the partners. "This is the worst part."

The worst was still to come. Stumbling around the hall, Lane parks in Joan's office. After hearing about an impending Easter vacation to either Bermuda or Hawaii ("Do you think there's a difference?") Lane spouts a vulgar Hail Mary of sorts, proclaiming: "I can picture you bouncing in the sand in an obscene bikini." Livid, Joan kicks him out. And we know that it's over.

Lane Pryce resigns, but doesn't exit the office.

When Lane comes home, presumably to tell his wife to pack her things since deportation is imminent, she surprises him with none other than a brand new Jaguar. Because he never gets anything for himself. In a perfect moment that captures the ethos of the era, she hands Lane (who she noted was drunk) the keys to drive them to dinner. He throws up.

That night, Lane goes into the car to kill himself. Swigging a drink, he turns the key to let exhaust seep into his new car. But the Jag is a lemon. It won't start. Lane can't even end his own life the way he wants to.

So he goes back to SCDP, writes his letter of resignation, and hangs himself next to his office door.

Jaguar comments on the worst product placement in the history of television.

Despite being on vacation, the Kardashian klan did some filming while on a recent family vacation in the Dominican Republic.

The reality TV family put on their leopard bikinis and shot a hilarious (we're laughing at, not with) music video covering the Notrious B.I.G.'s hit song "Hypnotize."

And (presumably) Kim's rear end makes quite the cameo.

French National Front leader Marine le Pen has threatened to sue Madonna in an interview with Le Parisian published today.

The far right leader takes issue with a video from Madonna's live show widely circulated online, which appears to show le Pen's face morphed with Adolf Hitler's, and a swastika also appearing on her forehead. The video, for the song "Nobody knows me", features Madonna being merged with many world leaders, including Hu Jintao and Sarah Palin.

"If she does that in France, we'll be waiting for her," Le Pen told Le Parisien, referring to dates in July when Madonna is due to perform in France.

Le Pen then took it personal: "By the way, has Madonna given back the children she stole from Africa? Or did she end up buying them?"

"She's an old singer ... She no longer knows what to do to get people talking about her because her songs don't work anymore."

WATCH (Le Pen appears around 1.30):

While Olivia Culpo may come from the country's smallest state, she was the big winner at last night's 61st annual Miss USA Pageant.

The event was held at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and was hosted by Andy Cohen and Giuliana Rancic. Guest judges included singer Joe Jonas, reality star Rob Kardashian, TV personality Arsenio Hall, and celebrity chef Cat Cora. 

The Rhode Island native, who describes herself as a "cellist and nerd," won over the judges with her bubbly personality, elegance and poise, and thought-provoking answer when asked if a transgender individual should be allowed to compete.

Her response? "I do think that that would be fair, but I can understand that people would be a little apprehensive to take that road because there is a tradition of natural-born women, but today where there are so many surgeries and so many people out there who have a need to change for a happier life, I do accept that because I believe it’s a free country."

The 20-year old Boston University sophomore will take a year off from school to fulfill her duties as Miss USA 2012. Later in December, she will follow in Alyssa Campanella's footsteps and represent the U.S. at the Miss Universe Pageant.

Earlier in the day, Olivia competed at the Kooey Swimwear Fashion show.

That night, Olivia answered this difficult question: "should a transgender individual be allowed to compete?" For the record, she says, ""I do think that that would be fair, but I can understand that people would be a little apprehensive ."

Olivia, a cellist and dean's list student at Boston University, walks the runway in the bikini competition for Miss USA 2012.

Over the weekend, Andy Samberg announced he would not return to "Saturday Night Live" next season after a seven-year stint on the long running sketch comedy show.

He didn't get the emotional sendoff that Kristen Wiig received in the season finale, but at least there was "Lazy Sunday 2" and the "100th Digital Short" milestone a few weeks ago.

Samberg was (debatably) never the star that Wiig was, but he leaves an important legacy—as he is rightfully credited for ushering SNL into the digital age thanks to viral videos like "Lazy Sunday" and "D--- in a Box" (see below).

Now the only remaining cast member in question is Jason Sudeikis, whose contract is also up and appears to have a promising film career ahead of him.

Samberg will attempt to transition into features. He will star opposite Adam Sandler in "That's My Boy" in a few weeks followed by "Celeste and Jesse Forever," co-starring Rashida Jones later this summer. 

I Just Had Sex (feat. Akon)

171 million (!) YouTube views

Following the success of "I'm On A Boat," Samberg and his Lonely Island crew enlisted the help of another hip-hop artist, resulting in their biggest YouTube hit.

Yes, Virginia, there is something other than "Fifty Shades of Grey" to tote to the beach this summer.

Here are 12 books about the entertainment industry worth loading onto your iPad, Nook or Kindle or actually carrying in paper version, from oral histories of MTV and NBC's must-see TV to biographies of Superman and "Super Bad" James Brown:

"THE ONE: THE LIFE AND MUSIC OF JAMES BROWN"

By RJ Smith

Smith never lets you forget that the reason he's writing this authoritative biography of Brown in the first place is because of the soul legend's musical genius, but he also doesn't downplay Brown's often scandalous life, which began in poverty and included being raised by an aunt who ran a bordello.

Just as Brown reinvented himself again and again musically, so he did in his personal life, including earning and losing -- several times -- his fortune, and being estranged from most of his children, despite his own fractured family childhood.

Also read: Notable Celebrity Deaths of 2012

Smith interviewed more than 100 people who knew and worked with Brown to help shed light on how the "hardest working man in show business" never really got his personal life together, but he used that complicated existence to make classic soul music.

"I WANT MY MTV: THE UNCENSORED STORY OF THE MUSIC VIDEO REVOLUTION"

By Craig Marks & Rob Tannenbaum

Marks and Tannenbaum interviewed more than 400 people -- artists, network and music industry execs and, of course, VJs -- for this oral history of the cable network that, once upon a time, was one of the main drivers of every aspect of pop culture, not just music videos.

Dave Grohl, Janet Jackson, Conan O'Brien, Duran Duran bass player John Taylor, Lenny Kravitz, Pat Benatar, Lady Gaga, Chris Isaak and Weird Al Yankovic are among the eclectic lineup of famous types who offer up what MTV meant to them and how it influenced their careers in the book, which is divided up into chapters covering different aspects of the network's history.

And then there are the anecdotes and delicious little details, from how Mick Jagger was persuaded -- and paid just $1 -- to repeat the network's "I want my MTV!" catchphrase to how the network, during the music video heyday, was a steady employer of little people and Playboy models.

"TOP OF THE ROCK: INSIDE THE RISE AND FALL OF MUST SEE TV"

By Warren Littlefield (with T.R. Pearson)

Littlefield was the NBC head honcho during the era when the network was truly must-see TV, i.e. the "Seinfeld," "Friends," "ER" and "Frasier" era. Here he has assembled all his former friends and co-workers for this addictive oral history, full of show histories, casting "almost was" stories and the scoop on how the network's best comedies almost always had major drama going on behind the scenes.

Also read: Jason Alexander Is New Spokesman for Soup Nazi (Video)

Like how "Cheers" star John Ratzenberger became so fed up with the substance abuse-fueled unpreparedness of co-star Kelsey Grammer that the man who played know-it-all mailman Cliff Clavin had to be held back from cleaning Grammer's clock. And how the "Seinfeld" gang wasn't exactly sorry to see George Costanza's fiancé, Susan, die after licking that poisonous envelope; the cast members weren't fans of Heidi Swedberg, who portrayed the doomed would-be Mrs. Costanza.

Littlefield also turns the book into a pithy, interesting tome on how networks operate behind the scenes, with money and ratings first and foremost, even when other execs are busily swilling vodka (yes, names are named) and the show that turns out to be one of the most successful in history started out as one of the most poorly testing pilots in the network's history (yes, "Seinfeld").

From K Street to Pennsylvania Avenue, relationships between the power elite of Washington, D.C. are largely defined by a pervasive underground sex culture, says one reporter.

In a new Bloggingheads interview, GQ contributing editor Marc Ambinder has the inside scoop: "There is an enormous amount of — we could call it cohabitation — among the, sort of, I don’t know if you want to call them 10 to 15,000 people who make up the power elite in D.C., but that is to say, they're sleeping with each other."

According to Ambinder, this "power elite" includes members of Congress, congressional staff, lobbyists, journalists, and yes — Secret Service Agents. To illustrate how commonplace this "cohabitation" is, Ambinder estimates that one-third of all married congressmen who have been on the Hill for over six years have had an affair.

While Ambinder couldn't pinpoint the exact reason behind the frequency of the coupling, he did propose one explanation: "You have these enormously powerful people with extremely hard jobs keeping the same hours and being in close proximity to one another and having really nothing else to do but each other at various points."
