Miley Cyrus, Leighton Meester Among Movie Awards’ Best-Dressed Females

Sienna Miller, Malin Akerman, Ashley Greene also make the list. By Lindsay Soll Miley Cyrus at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images What’s better than winning a tub of Golden Popcorn at the Movie Awards? Getting our vote for best looks of the night, of course. So put on your fashion thinking caps and check out which actresses’ closets we’re just dying to raid. Malin Akerman : The actress must’ve taken cues from her “Watchmen” alter ego, Laurie, because, man, was she kicking major butt on the red carpet! Dazzling in a crisp, white, fitted Dolce & Gabbana suit, a super-sleek updo and a metallic gray corset, Akerman looked like the sophisticated starlet we always knew she was. Plus, she knows how to accessorize without overdoing it: That major blue rock on her right hand added the perfect pop of color. Let’s just hope she’s carrying some stain remover with her, you know, just in case any of those crazy attendees (paging Will Ferrell!) spill anything on her immaculate outfit. That would be tragic. Miley Cyrus : The teen queen has often fluctuated between styles, with some of her past red-carpet looks either bordering on too sophisticated or too young. At the Movie Awards, in an understated nude Moschino dress paired with cream-colored heels, the “Hannah Montana” star found the best of both worlds. The form-fitting silhouette, cowl-neck halter and fresh makeup added a dash of class, making her look streamlined. Her chunky silver accessories and turquoise nail polish, however, were totally fun and age-appropriate. Same can be said for the origami-trimmed back, which added some flair. Ashley Greene : Old Hollywood glamour sashayed onto the scene when this “Twilight” star made her entrance. Much like her fellow best-look cohort Malin Akerman, Greene also seemed to channel her big-screen identity Alice Cullen with a style that was so put together, it was practically supernatural. OK, maybe we’re going a little far, but in her floral-print sheath, paired with purple platforms and a neon clutch, the actress looked like she came straight out of the 1940s. Special shout-out to her hair and makeup people for giving her adorable pin-curled hair and perfectly pouty red lips. Sienna Miller : OK, so she arrived with some pretty smokin’ arm candy (ahem, her “G.I. Joe” co-star Channing Tatum), but Miller was also looking smokin’ herself in a sexy, backless, emerald-green dress. She’s obviously tuned into fashion because the Swarovski-encrusted frock was from — wait for it — her own label, Twenty8Twelve. When she has graced red carpets in the past, the bohemian actress has often preferred a simple, carefree style. But she managed to bring flirty elegance to the awards show and made it look effortless. If only it was that easy for the rest of us. Leighton Meester: Quick, someone alert “Gossip Girl”! Blair Waldorf has been replaced by a look-alike in a dress Blair would — gasp! — never dare wear. In all seriousness, we loved seeing Meester shed her token headbands and ?ber-preppy uniform to show off her more mature, provocative side. Her sheer Emilio de la Morena dress, Brian Atwood purple suede booties and silver cuff were complemented by an updo and sultry, smoky eyes. If Chuck Bass could see her now! If you were as excited as we were about the first “New Moon” trailer on the MTV Movie Awards, show us! Turn on that webcam, tape your reaction and upload it to YouRHere.MTV.com .

Paramore’s ‘Decode,’ Miley Cyrus’ ‘Climb’ Face Off At MTV Movie Awards

Bruce Springsteen and A.R. Rahman take on the tweens for Best Song From a Movie on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET. By Jocelyn Vena Paramore’s Hayley Williams in “Decode” Photo: Atlantic Records There’s quite an epic battle brewing for Best Song From a Movie at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards . There’s not a genre left unturned, and every type of movie is represented by the nominated songs. The category is split between Oscar-nominated songs like A.R. Rahman’s “Jai Ho” from “Slumdog Millionaire” and Bruce Springsteen’s title track for “The Wrestler.” But don’t count out the teen-girl power: Paramore’s “Twilight” theme “Decode” is competing against Miley Cyrus’ empowerment ballad “The Climb” from “Hannah Montana.” The clear front-runners seem to be Paramore and Cyrus, since they each hail from tween-favorite soundtracks. Paramore also gets a push from the Twilighter community, which is very, very loyal to all things “Twilight.” No disrespect to Springsteen and Rahman, but when two older dudes are trying to compete with the forces of Cyrus and Paramore, well, let’s just say the Academy isn’t voting for this one. Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams is a Twilighter herself , so when she was asked to do a song for the movie, she jumped at the chance. “I chose the title ‘Decode,’ because the song is about the building tension, awkwardness, anger and confusion between Bella and Edward,” she said. “Bella is the only mind Edward can’t read, and I feel like that’s a big part of the first book and one of the obstacles for them to overcome. It’s one added tension that makes the story even better.” Will the vampires grab more trophies than the slumdog? What was the year’s ultimate onscreen WTF moment? It’s up to you to decide the winners of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards . Vote now, and tune in on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET, when the big show airs live from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.

Bob Dylan Nabs Second Billboard #1 Debut

Heaven and Hell, Mike Jones, NOFX debut in top 50. By Gil Kaufman Bob Dylan Photo: Columbia Bob Dylan is two for two. The folk bard will notch his second #1 album?debut next week, when his 33rd disc, Together Through Life, hits the top spot, on the crest of 125,000 in sales. Dylan’s last album, 2006′s Modern Times, also debuted at the top, giving the influential 67-year-old songwriter and American icon the first #1 bow of his four-decade career. After several weeks with a handful of albums doing strong business, Dylan’s disc will be the only release to break the 100,000-sale barrier, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan, with the #2 album, the soundtrack to the “Hannah Montana” movie, trailing behind with 86,000. Among the other debuts in the top 10 was the Ronnie James Dio -fronted metal act Heaven and Hell (which features non- Ozzy members of Black Sabbath ); The Devil You Know sold 30,000, good enough for a #8 bow. And sneaking in at #10 is a charity compilation from Playing for Change titled Songs Around the World, which debuted with 26,000 copies, thanks to the video for its cover of Ben E. King’s “Stand by Me,” a viral phenomenon with 10 million views to date. The rest of the top 10 features Rascal Flatts’ Unstoppable (#3, 53,000), Rick Ross’ Deeper Than Rap (#4, 51,000, down 68 percent from its debut last week), Lady Gaga’s The Fame (#5, 40,000), the “Twilight” soundtrack (#6, 35,000), Now 30 (#7, 33,000) and Taylor Swift’ Fearless (#9, 29,000). Rapper Mike Jones lands at #12 with The Voice (25,000); Asher Roth drops from a #5 bow to #14 with his debut, Asleep in the Bread Aisle (23,000); synth legends Depeche Mode slip 15 spots to #18 in their second week with Sounds of the Universe (22,000); and Kansas City rapper Tech N9ne makes it in at #19 in the first week for his latest, Sickology 101 (19,000). Veteran punk band NOFX coast to a #36 debut with Coaster (14,000), and Insane Clown Posse rapper Violent J lands at #48 with his solo album The Shining (10,000). Thanks to the “American Idol” bump, Jamie Foxx’s nearly platinum Intuition bumps up 10 spots to #17 (23,000), while Katy Perry ‘s juggernaut One of the Boys leaps almost 30 spots to #56 on sales of close to 9,000. Continuing the rough ride for former male “Idol” contestants, season-five winner Taylor Hicks’ independently released album The Distance squeezes back onto the charts at #180 — despite his performance slot on last week’s “Idol” elimination show — selling an anemic 2,800 copies. Since its release in March, the disc has sold a little more than 27,000 copies total. Next week promises a showdown of the R&B divas, as Ciara and Chrisette Michele vie for the top spot in their chart debuts. Related Artists Bob Dylan Miley Cyrus Heaven and Hell

Miley Cyrus Doesn’t Get Why Perez Hilton Picks On Her

Cyrus talks to British tab about gossip, her virginity and her body image. By Jocelyn Vena Miley Cyrus Photo: Lester Cohen/ WireImage Although Miley Cyrus may have been on Perez Hilton’s side when they Tweeted about same-sex marriage, that doesn’t quite mean the two are BFFs just yet. The “Hannah Montana” star says the gossip blogger still picks on her on his site, and she doesn’t understand why. “That can be painful,” the 16-year-old told London’s Daily Mail. “That’s just a mean person. I don’t know how old he is, but taking it out on me is a little strange. It’s like going back to high school.” Cyrus said that she especially doesn’t understand why Hilton insists on being so mean to her, when she’s only out there trying to doing her job. “I get to travel and go to London and Paris, while this person sits by the computer, writing mean things about me,” she said. “I’d rather be the one travelling.” In a candid mood, apparently, Miley also told the paper that she wants people to know that despite her relationship with 20-year-old model/musician Justin Gaston, she is waiting to have sex until she gets married. “I want to keep my virginity until I marry,” she said. “I was brought up in a Christian family.” Her faith also helps her stay strong in Los Angeles, where it’s “harder finding people who are real,” she said. And Cyrus isn’t letting anyone tell her how to live her life or how to look while doing it. “People will say things like: ‘You’ve got to lose weight and be this smaller size to wear this dress,’ ” she said. “It’s upsetting, but I’m happy with how I look.” Related Artists Miley Cyrus
