'Hopefully, he contains a few more dimensions than just 'Prince Charming,' ' actor tells MTV News.
By Kara Warner
If you've seen the action-packed trailer for "Mirror Mirror" — one of two Snow White-themed movies coming out this year — you're aware that the visually appealing, Tarsem-directed, family-friendly film is a new spin on the classic tale.
When the flick hits theaters Friday, audiences will see a feisty, independent young princess played by Lily Collins, Oscar-winner Julia Roberts showing off a rarely seen evil side and, of course, a handsome Prince Charming played by Armie Hammer. But don't think for a minute that you'll be seeing a stereotypical prince. MTV News recently caught up with the "Social Network" star to discuss the character's atypical traits.
"He's not drawn on the page, which is one of the first things that makes him slightly different," Hammer joked about the character's animated inspirations. "He's a little bit more of a man-child and a little bit more of a kid trying to find his place in the world as a prince, [wondering] why is he a prince and stuff like that. Hopefully, he contains a few more dimensions than just 'Prince Charming.' "
Multi-dimensional or not, there is a certain dreamboat factor required of the actor playing him, which Hammer was happy to joke about when we asked him just how dreamy the character would be. "How dreamy is he? Dreeea-my," Hammer promised us in May 2011. "Let's just say, they're going to have to change the rating," he joked, before getting serious to talk about the reason he signed onto the project: director Tarsem Singh.
"[Tarsem] is one of the reasons I signed on to do this," Hammer revealed. "The idea of playing Prince Charming wasn't really exciting — it kind of sounds more nerdy than anything else — but then they're like, 'Tarsem's doing it,' and I'm like, 'Done. You want me to play a trash can? I'll do it to be in this movie.' " Hammer added that he's a big admirer of Tarsem's work, and joked that he'd be taking plenty of notes during filming.

Greater face time for Robb Stark and Jaime Lannister means bigger departures from George R.R. Martin's source material in season two.
By Josh Wigler
Richard Madden as Robb Stark in "Game of Thrones" season two

While "Game of Thrones" is about as close to a perfect adaptation as it gets, there are some aspects of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros that remain in the books. Changes between George R.R. Martin's source material and the television series are, like winter, destined to come. Your mileage may vary on whether these differences are a good thing, but the differences exist, like them or not.
As was the case in season one, season two of "Thrones" features entirely new scenes to the "Song of Ice and Fire" saga, while other fan-favorite characters from "A Clash of Kings" — the novel that the show's second season is based upon — have been notably modified or, in some extreme cases, completely cut from the proceedings. Here's a quick rundown of some of the changes you can expect between the books and the show this coming season, but be warned: There are spoilers ahead. No way around them!
More Robb Stark
Despite his status as one of the clashing kings in Westeros, Robb Stark remains largely off the page in the second novel of Martin's series. Not so on "Game of Thrones." Richard Madden, the actor who brings Robb to life, is very much present this season, with his off-page exploits given new live-action life on HBO. It's a divisive choice; so much of Robb's impact hinges on only hearing about him and not actually seeing his legendary acts firsthand. On the other hand, you can't expect Madden to sit out virtually an entire season and remain on retainer for future years. Besides, getting the chance to see what Robb is up to while he's away from the book's narrative is part of the fun of an adaptation, right?
More Jaime Lannister
Likewise, the Kingslayer is a figure largely absent from "A Clash of Kings," thanks to his captivity at the hands of the Starks. But just as Madden can't be put on ice, neither can Nikolaj Coster-Waldau; he must remain on fire! But where Robb's off-page actions are the focus of his new onscreen story, Jaime's additional screen time might actually come from a future book. Fans of the novels know that portions of Jaime's last appearance in "Clash" were already used in the "Game of Thrones" season-one finale, and there are whispers that the character will actually dabble in "Storm of Swords" territory before the show's second year draws to a close.
We Want Our Reeds, We Want Our Reek
On the flip side, some of the characters heavily present in "Clash" are potentially sitting out of season two entirely. Recent rumors indicate that certain key roles — including Meera and Jojen Reed, critical to Bran's story in the books, and nasty sidekick Reek, who has a very interesting place in Theon's world — have not been cast for the upcoming season. Even if the rumors prove true, show runners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff have said previously that certain aspects of the books might get shifted around from season to season — hence bits of Jaime's book-three story moving into season two, or the Reeds moving from book two into season three. As long as there's a future for these characters, we'll take them whenever we can.
What's in a Name?
Asha Greyjoy is dead. Long live Yara! Theon's older sister is not one of the aforementioned casualties of adapting book two for television, but her name is. It's been reported that the character, played by Gemma Whelan, lost her original name due to its similarity to Osha, the wildling girl played by "Harry Potter" veteran Natalia Tena. It's a minor difference in the grand scheme of things, but still the kind of change that could rub "Ice and Fire" purists the wrong way. For me, as long as Yara stays true to the essence of Asha — witty, gritty and incredibly badass — I won't sweat the change too much.
Throwing Dragonstones
All right, let's close with a personal gripe/nerd-out, shall we? Here we go: "Clash" begins with a prologue from the perspective of Maester Cressen, a servant of would-be king Stannis Baratheon's at his home on Dragonstone. It's an excellent introduction to Stannis and his surrounding cast, and it also sets the stakes extremely high for Baratheon's future actions. The Cressen prologue is easily one of my favorite chapters in the entire "Ice and Fire" series, but it's not quite as prominent in the upcoming "Thrones" season premiere. Of course, some things are lost in translation by necessity, and where the introduction to Dragonstone falls a bit short for me, the show more than makes up for it with plenty of fantastic scenes in King's Landing and elsewhere. I'm just hoping that, going forward, the Dragonstone story line remains a prominent, powerful one.

George Zimmerman's father, Robert Zimmerman, says Trayvon Martin threatened to kill his son, then beat him to the point where he had no choice but to defend himself against the 17-year-old in Sanford, Fla., on February 26.
The elder Zimmerman spoke, on camera but without showing his face, to Orlando, Fla., TV station WOFL, to share his son's side of the national story.
He claims Trayvon Martin attacked first and may have killed Zimmerman.
"It's my understanding that Trayvon Martin got on top of him and just started beating him," Robert Zimmerman told WOFL. "Martin said something to the effect of, 'You're going to die now' or 'You're going to die tonight.'"
"He continued to beat George. At some point, George pulled his pistol ... and what he did."
"He was punched in the nose. His nose was broken," Robert Zimmerman insists. "He was knocked to the concrete. Trayvon Martin got on top of him and started beating him."
"Beating him in the face. In his nose, hitting his head on the concrete."
The comments came just after the George Zimmerman surveillance video, taken at police headquarters the night of Martin's killing, was released.
His hands cuffed, Zimmerman does not appear to have substantial injuries, though the video does not show a close-up of the neighborhood watchman.
The video was taken four hours after the incident took place.
"The injuries that made it sound as though he really should have been on a stretcher are not apparent in this tape at all," CNN analyst Marcia Clark said.
"He moves freely. He moves fluidly, not like someone who has just been through a beating in any way, shape or form, someone whose head has been pounded on the pavement as hard as described, someone whose nose was broken and bleeding."
"That tells you a great deal."
Zimmerman's attorney Craig Sonner described the video as "very grainy" on NBC's Today, noting that Zimmerman had been "cleaned-up" and received first aid care in the hours between the incident and his arrival at the police station.

Jon Snow goes beyond the Wall, Daenerys Targaryen continues her trek eastward, and the Starks are still all over the place.

Westeros is a big, bad place filled with big, bad people. It's hard enough to survive out there in the expansive Seven Kingdoms, and it can be just as difficult to know exactly where everybody is. Even though "Game of Thrones" ended its first season in a rather decisive manner, it's not easy keeping track of who's in King's Landing, who's up north and who's somewhere in between.
Can't remember where Jon Snow is currently journeying? Wondering where the various Starks have gone to? We've got you covered. Keep on reading for our handy guide to where all the major "Thrones" players are hanging out when season two begins.
King's Landing
Who's there, other than Ned Stark's head? Oh, relax, I kid, I kid. (But seriously, it's there, on a spike.) Clearly, this is Joffrey Baratheon's home turf, and lots of the regular fixtures are still around: Varys, Littlefinger, Grand Maester Pycelle, the Hound, Cersei and more. There are a few notable newcomers, too: Tyrion Lannister, for one, strolling into town to serve as Hand of the King in his father's absence. Along for the ride are Tyrion's lover Shae, his trusty but not-at-all trustworthy sellsword Bronn, and a few of those vicious tribesmen he met while traveling near the Eyrie. Oh, and let's not forget poor Sansa Stark: She's still in King's Landing, too, and none too pleased about it.
On the Road
The other Stark daughter, Arya, is running for her life and headed north on the Kingsroad, posing as a boy alongside a ragtag group of bastards, street rats and prisoners who have been recruited for the Night's Watch. Leading the party is Yoren, the sworn brother who traveled south to King's Landing to shore up some new recruits. Also in the mix is Gendry, one of Robert Baratheon's many bastards, and Jaqen H'ghar, a twisty-tongued convict who is much more than meets the eye.
Stark Camp
King in the North Robb Stark and his bannermen have set up camp in the Riverlands, shockingly close to where Arya is currently traveling — though the odds of them running into each other are about the same as finding a needle in a haystack, pun intended. Along with Robb are some of his most loyal advisers: his mother Catelyn, the massive Greatjon Umber and the squirrelly Theon Greyjoy. Also part of the head count: Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer, who was taken prisoner by Robb late last season. Jaime doesn't have much in the way of company, though he will get to know Robb's direwolf Greywind a bit better before the season premiere's end.
In the North
There must always be a Stark in Winterfell. To that end, Bran is the lucky lord filling in while Robb's away at war. The broken boy relies on simple-minded Hodor for transport and the wildling girl Osha for her storytelling. There are also the other Winterfell regulars, like Maester Luwin and Old Nan. Oh, and Rickon. Almost forgot about that one...
Way, Way North
Even further north than Winterfell — heck, even further north than the Wall itself — are Jon Snow and the men of the Night's Watch, ranging onward into the great icy unknown. Their purpose: to find out who or what is responsible for making dead men walk again. Jon is joined by sworn brothers Gren, Pyp and the cowardly Samwell Tarly. Lord Commander Jeor Mormont is with the crew as well, lending gravitas to their unbearably cold expedition.
Across The Narrow Sea
Looking beyond Westeros, exiled princess Daenerys Targaryen continues her trek through the mysterious land of Essos with her starving, dwindling khalasar. Her most loyal servent, Jorah Mormont, is still with Dany, as are only her most loyal servants, handmaidens and blood-riders. It isn't all bad news, of course: Dany has three dragons to keep her company now. That's three more dragons than anyone else in the world has!
Dragonstone
Speaking of dragons, a brand-new location emerges in season two: Dragonstone, former seat of House Targaryen, current home to Stannis Baratheon. We've introduced you to Stannis already, but to quickly recap, he is late king Robert's younger brother, and therefore believes himself to be the rightful ruler of Westeros. With him are faithful advisers Davos Seaworth and Maester Cressen, as well as a mysterious new ally, Melisandre, the red priestess of Asshai. A dangerous, deadly group of individuals, as you'll soon see.

AUSTIN, Texas — Slaughterhouse passed through Austin, Texas, to perform at the Shady 2.0 Showcase during South by Southwest earlier this month, and while they were in town, the boys — Joe Budden, Royce Da 5'9'', Crooked I and Joell Ortiz — slotted some time to film the video for their latest single, "Hammer Dance."
MTV News caught up with the four rappers on set, where they explained the video's concept and gave an update on their upcoming album, Welcome to: Our House.
"I think it's just a day in the life of Slaughterhouse, a lot of energy," Crooked I told MTV News. "We're gonna give fans a chance to shine, and I think when it's done, you'll see how authentic it is. When we roll into town, we jell with people, no matter where they are, who they are, what part of the world they're from. We're just average dudes trying to do extraordinary things."
"Hammer Dance" is the latest single from the group's sophomore album, which is expected to debut this summer. Slaughterhouse wouldn't give a specific release date just yet, but they did reveal that their Shady Records boss, Eminem, is in the final stages of mixing.
"[We're] still working out minor tweaks, [but] it's way more done than people know," Royce said. "Marshall is actually mixing right now. He's actually mixed the entire album, and that wasn't even the original plan, so we're super excited about that. He's just taking songs to another level."
Eminem is known for his hands-off approach with artists, but the Detroit native was very much involved in the creation of Welcome to: Our House, as the group explained. "Real talk: A lot of people don't give Eminem enough credit for his production and his arrangement and his mixing," Crooked I said. "What he's doing to add to the album is phenomenal, and I think he deserves props and a salute for that."
"He's turning it into a movie," Royce concluded. "It's becoming way more visual, when he comes and puts his stamp on it, if you will."

Stair bobsledding needs to be an Olympic sport in 2012.
It's probably too late to qualify for this summer's London games, but come 2016, if this guy keeps up his training (i.e. alcohol consumption) and avoids more than a half dozen serious concussions, he will be the consensus odds-on favorite for gold.
To inspire yourself before you attempt stair bobsledding at home, watch his astounding trial run below. All to go get a Swiffer mop. That's dedication, people.

Murray will represent himself as he contests involuntary manslaughter conviction for which he faces up to four years in state prison.
