Kate Bosworth and Brandon Routh

Kate Bosworth and Brandon Routh were on TRL yesterday promoting the Superman Returns. The movie has already made $21 million from midnight showings on Tuesday and yesterdays official opening day. This is the 8th highest Wednesday opening. Hopes are high for more records to be broken this holiday weekend when the movie will be shown in over 4,000 theaters. The IMAX will show Superman Returns in 3D, and that should be super cool.

Kurt Loder from MTV writes about Superman Returns:

Are there astonishing action scenes? Well, real astonishment — of the “How on earth did they do that?” variety — is in oddly short supply … But for all its visual felicities, the movie is curiously flat, largely because of the casting … Kate Bosworth [is problematic]. She may be more dewily pretty than Margot Kidder, who played Lois Lane in the earlier pictures, but she lacks Kidder’s sparky humor — she’s not much fun. And given Bosworth’s age (she’s now 23), this Lois’s long flirtation with Superman would have had to begin when she was the only major metropolitan newspaper reporter in the country too young to drink or drive. Also inadequate is Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor … A lot of talented people have put a lot of work into this movie, and since its ending all but cries out for a sequel or three, they’ll probably have a chance to get it right the next time around (should they remain onboard). The bittersweet love story is interesting, but it remains to be seen whether the young action-movie audience — the people that studios count on to be repeat ticket-buyers — will find it all that addictive after an initial viewing.

Will Ferrell and Jim Carrey

When it airs on June 8th, this year’s the 2006 MTV Movie Awards will be just as uncivilized as previous shows. The awards gala is almost always the most naughty, flirty and downright sketchy movie awards show of all - and with prime sex symbol Jessica Alba hosting, it doesn’t promise to be any more respectable this year.

Jessica thanks “the perverts” for their support, and Colin Farrell makes a crack about Brangelina’s safari adventure. Christian Bale call himself a “lucky bastard” and Isla Fisher makes reference to being a bi-polar nymphomaniac — Oscar speeches these are not.

What they are is good solid fun, and as Alba puts it on the red carpet, “All the actors who come here always are excited to be here, and to go bananas.”

Christina Aguilera also performs her new single, ’Ain’t No Other Man,’ on the show, which airs Thursday night at 9 p.m. on MTV.

At the awards show were Amanda Bynes, Anna Faris, Brooke Hogan, Christina Aguilera, Cindy Margolis, Eva Mendes, Famke Janssen, Isla Fisher, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson, Kate Beckinsale, Kate Bosworth, Brandon Routh, Kevin Spacey, Christian Bale, Justin Timberlake, Kate Hudson, Lauren Conrad, Rebecca Romijn, Rihanna, Rosario Dawson, Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves, Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Jim Carrey, and many more, but these are the stars we have pictures of in the gallery.

After the jump we have 40 pictures from the awards, and 3 videos that include a sneak peak of the 2006 MTV Movie Awards…
