'Breaking Dawn Part I' teaser poster releasedWith plenty of movie stills already out there - from Edward and Bella embracing beneath a waterfall to Jacob sprinting through sheets of rain - Summit Entertainment had more than enough material to choose from for “Breaking Dawn Part 1’s” teaser poster. Instead… Behold: A colorful sunrise and a few pine trees. Not much of a tease if you ask us. What do you think of the poster?

'Muppets' trailer will make you 'Green With Envy'Don't be fooled by that movie preview for the upcoming romance "Green With Envy"—it's actually a trailer for the much-anticipated "The Muppets." The trailer, which made its debut in theaters over the weekend, kicks off by telling the love story of Mary and Gary (Amy Adams and Jason Segal), a sweet, small-town couple who head to Hollywood with dreams of making it big. Though they hope to go the distance, they find their relationship challenged when Gary forgets their anniversary. Cue a sappy love song and a montage of the couple pining for each other, laughing and dancing before the narrator announces the film's cast: "Jason Segal. Amy Adams… Kermit the Frog?" No goodbye, Oprah says, just 'until we meet again'Watch "Showbiz Tonight's" one-hour special on Oprah's final farewell at 11pm ET/PT tonight on HLN. Before the stage went dark on her long-running talk show Wednesday, Oprah Winfrey still had a few more lessons to share. Instead of inviting one last super-special guest to appear, giving away a car or doing one more incredible makeover, Winfrey opted to take the finale of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" back to basics: It was just Oprah, giving what she called “a love letter” to her audience. "This last hour is about me saying thank you; it is my love letter to you," she said. "I want to leave you all with the lessons that anchor my life. Every day that I stood here I knew that this was exactly where I was supposed to be. There was many a day I came to work tired, but I showed up because I knew that you were waiting, you were waiting for whatever we had to offer. That’s why I never missed a day in 25 years." Craze for Kate Middleton’s dress crashes websiteHas Kate Middleton become the latest royal fashion icon? That answer would be yes. When the Duchess of Cambridge and her husband Prince William had a meet and greet with President Obama and the First Lady on Tuesday, the tan Reiss dress she wore instantly became a must-have item. So many people wanted to get their hands on the $340 dress, called "Shola," that the website couldn’t withstand demand and crashed. It’s still working to stay afloat a day after the Duchess was photographed wearing it. 'Glee' takes Manhattan – and our heartsWould I praise the "Glee" season finale? In a New York minute! Season 2 wrapped up with the New Directions in NYC for Nationals with all the hope in the world that they would make the Top 10. Of course, being kids from Ohio, they were euphoric from being in the Big Apple and we got to see all the eye candy the city has to offer including Times Square, Central Park, Broadway and the Village. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are engagedNew Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries has put a diamond ring on the finger of Kim Kardashian, and the couple are now engaged, the reality TV star's rep confirms to CNN. According to People magazine, the surprise proposal went down on May 18 at Kardashian's Beverly Hills home. Humphries, 26, waited for the reality TV star in her bedroom, down on bended knee, with the words "will you marry me" spelled out in red rose petals. Kardashian, who has been dating the athlete for six months, says the question caught her off-guard. Oprah Winfrey's final show: The live blogAfter 25 years, the time has come to say goodbye to "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
