Nearly every single adult face standing in line for a ticket to Universal Studios looked solemn this Tuesday afternoon. Sure, the kids were bouncing about happy as could be. But the Parents appeared as though that $67 ticket price was wearing heavy on their soul. That's quite a bit of change for a family of four, and in these cruel economic times, it's nearly impossible to have a fun outing without feeling the cruel belly-pinch of your angry, anorexic wallet. For its price, is a day at this park all its cracked up to be? Well, Universal Studios hopes so, as they've gone out of their way to draw customers with two bright and shiny new attractions that may or may not be worth your time (and hard earned cash).
The Simpsons Ride opened on May 19th of last year, so I will get to that in a minute. The big

Shia Labeouf stopped by the "Today Show" on Thursday and gave the world a little taste of that Shia charm that gets the women going crazy. Labeouf's always struck us as somewhat of an unlikely heartthrob...but we've got to admit, the guy's got charisma to burn.Before his appearance on the "Today Show," Shia stood talking with Matt Laur while a young woman named Samantha vied for his attention. Once on the air, Meredith Vieira told Shia that there was a young woman outside who "wants you to go out." Without missing a beat, Shia Labeouf responded, "I like Samantha a lot. She seems like a real special person. I would love to meet her - is she ...

Shia Labeouf was taping "Today" on Thursday, June 25 when he got many female fans waiting at the Rockefeller Center to get a glimpse of him. One of them, Samantha, was probably the luckiest girl that morning as she had a chance to meet the actor who called her "sweetheart".
Shia was promoting his new flick "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" on the show and was excited when knowing that there was a girl waiting to meet him outside the studio. After watching Samantha gave a small interview, the actor commented, "I like Samantha a lot. She seems like a real special person. I would love to meet her - is she here?"
Actually, Samantha asked producer of the talk show Matt Lauer to bring Shia out of the studio, but Matt decided to bring her inside. The 20-year-old girl then walked in to the studio and brought a cup of coffee for her celebrity crush.

Inside, in front of the cameras, co-host Meredith Vieira informed Labeouf that there was a young woman outside who "wants you to go out."

In what has become the most unusual celebrity feud in recent memory, on Tuesday (June 16), the "Today" show's Al Roker commented on his aggressive line of questioning toward Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt on Monday's show when the pair stopped by to talk about their time on "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!"
"You just saw the tape, was that an attack?" Roker, who had been accused by the couple of verbally attacking them during the interview, asked co-host Meredith Vieira, jokingly adding, "After we kept going, then I hit them with mace and then tied them up."
Roker told Vieira that he was proud of the way he acted in the interview. "Yes, I am," he said. "I

As Speidi lightning continues to strike on Al Roker, the Today show icon is maintaining his sense of humor. During a recap on this morning's episode, Meredith Vieira showed a clip of yesterday's much-discussed interview with Spencer and Heidi Pratt. When Roker asked if it looked like an attack, as they claim, the hostess pointed out that what she showed was only a small segment. "I kept going, then I hit them with Mace and tied them up," he joked. "Spencer said, 'He's lucky I was saved by Jesus, because a couple of weeks ago I probably would have ripped his head off for talking to my wife like that,' " Viera read from the transcript before asking Roker, "Are you...

The obituary of Will Ferrell's 2009 summer box-office bomb can undoubtedly be summarized in two words: "Overkill" & "PG-13."For one thing, anybody watching television - at all - this week saw Ferrell plugging "Land of the Lost" at least 5 times. He was Conan O Brien's first guest on The Tonight Show Monday. He plugged the film on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jon Stewart on The Daily Show and chummed it up with Meredith Vieira on The Today Show. He was everywhere getting the message out that he had a vested interest in the film's success and, despite whether it was as funny as "Anchorman" or "Step Brothers," rea ...

Kris Allen and Adam Lambert stopped by the "Today" show on Thursday (May 28) to sing and chat. They also dispelled any voting-conspiracy rumors in light of Wednesday's media flare-up regarding Allen watch parties in Arkansas, at which At&T employees allegedly helped the "American Idol" winner's fans power-text votes for their guy.
Speaking to host Natalie Morales, the pair were, as usual, chummy and complimentary, hugging each other as the crowd screamed their names. "This is what we kind of do this for — come out here and sing for people. It's nice not to be judged anymore," Allen, 23, said of the less pressure-filled media tour the pals are on now.
"It's been really exciting, exhausting and surreal at the same time," said Lambert, who

We here at MTV News got some of your favorite celebrities to place bets, or at the very least tell us whether they think Adam Lambert or Kris Allen will win "American Idol" tonight.
Most of the celebrities we talked to eagerly shared their excitement for Lambert and think that he is the clear front-runner to take home the prize.
"I think he's brilliant. I saw him do a kind of stage thing a few years ago in L.A., a cabaret thing. I went up to him afterwards [and told him], 'You are brilliant,' " MTV Movie Awards nominee Ben Barnes told MTV News. "I turn on my TV and he's on this thing. It was really cool."
Someone else who is rooting for Lambert is "Hills" star Spencer Pratt,

Los Angeles, California (X17online) - On Friday, NBC will air "Farrah's Story," a two hour documentary that the "Charlie's Angels" actress began filming when she was first diagnosed with cancer in September of 2006. The doc gives viewers an inside look at Fawcett's struggle over the past three years, and "The Today Show" aired several clips this morning. Ryan O'Neal sat down with "Today" co-host Meredith Vieira to discuss the documentary. He tells her about Fawcett's battle with cancer, "I think she may have believed that she would survive. That's not how it's going. She's had a terrible time in the last year, a terrible time." On Fawcett's determination to document her journey, O'Neal added, "There were times that she got terribly ill and began to vomit. She didn't care. She was possessed. She's been on film all her life, since she was 19 or 20, you know. So, I guess, no big deal.

But then her condition suddenly started to deteriorate. The realization happened during family walk near their home in Malibu. "We used to take that wlak all the time to the rocks and back. And halfway there she stopped and said, 'Can we go back?' And Red and I looked at each other and we knew that..." O'Neal trails off. O'Neal also talked about the last visit the couple's 24-year-old son Redmond had with his mother - a visit that was made possible by a special release from jail where the younger O'Neal is serving time for drug charges.
