Oksana Drops Dromestic Abuse Claims Against Mel Gibson

In a move that shocked the courtroom, Oksana Grigorieva dropped her domestic violence claim against Mel Gibson at a hearing for the couple's custody case earlier today (May 4).

According to TMZ, Oksana's lawyer, Dan Horowitz, told Judge Scott Gordon that they would no longer claim Mel's alleged violence as grounds to take away his custody rights.

Furthermore, the domestic violence protective order Grigorieva obtained, which prohibited Gibson from contacting her, has also been terminated as of today.

Sources say this was an effort to extend an olive branch in an attempt to settle the custody case and as well as to open the communication lines between the two former lovers.

Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Chris Colfer Make Time's 100 Most Influential List

What kind of list includes Justin Bieber alongside Vice President Joseph Biden, Prince William and Kate Middleton, and Oprah Winfrey? It must be Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world. The annual count of the people who, for better or worse, make our world fascinating, includes an essay by mentor Usher extolling the virtues of the Biebs.

"From the minute I met Justin, I knew this kid possessed a certain confidence that only a star could have," wrote Usher. "He was born a star. He knew what he wanted to accomplish; all he had to do was get everyone else to believe it. Now, looking back at his incredible run, the reality of who he is and what he's accomplished far exceeds anybody's expectations of him. What's interesting and will keep the world watching is that at the same time he's having this incredible success, he's like any other kid living a normal life."

In his typically impish style, "Parks & Recreation" co-star and comedian Aziz Ansari spent most of his 150 words in praise of series star and producer Amy Poehler, after complaining about an alleged real estate scam she pulled on him. "That said, I cannot say how much I admire and respect Amy Poehler," he wrote. "In comedy, a lot of what you see feels derivative and uninspired; with Amy, 39, there is always something fresh and unexpected, and that's why I love her work."

Director Baz Luhrmann marveled at actress Blake Lively for pulling off the unique trick of channeling the "vitality of youth — that indefinable, natural, unprocessed glamour full of possibility and filled with anticipation for an endless future."

Actress Glenn Close wrote of the talents of her "Albert Nobbs" co-star Mia Wasikowska ("Alice in Wonderland," "The Kids Are All Right"), saying the 21-year-old is "a sun, not a satellite. She generates her own energy. She's seductive because she's not compelled to reveal everything. Her shyness has made her an acute observer. At the same time, she loves a good joke, loves to laugh and can suddenly have the boisterous physicality of a teenager. Mia will be many things in life and will defy expectation because she's brilliant and curious and not fooled by what most people define as success."

When it comes to "Glee" star Chris Colfer, co-star Dianna Agron said the 20-year-old song-and-dance man "lives by extreme truth, speaking out against the epidemic of bullying that he, too, faced in high school. The honesty that he infuses into his 'Glee' character, Kurt, leaves you reeling." Elsewhere, B.o.B writes of his pal Bruno Mars, 25, that the singer/songwriter "has a musicality, a presence in his voice that I've never heard from anyone else."

Among the others making the list were Google executive Wael Ghonim, credited with being the voice of the revolution in Egypt; Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg; WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange; Congresswoman and shooting victim Gabrielle Giffords; Sting; and President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. For the third year, South Korean pop superstar Rain made it onto the list as the result of a reader's poll.

Mariah Carey Drops a Hint on Twitter About Her Twins' Names

Mariah Carey Drops a Hint on Twitter About Her Twins' Names

After Mariah Carey gave birth to twins on Saturday, husband Nick Cannon took to Twitter to give fans an update. We now know their gender, weight and length -- but still no names. Although it remains a mystery, on Tuesday the singer tweeted a few clues to help fans cope with the suspense.

“So we r bout 2 reveal the actual names and b4 we tell em 2 our friends etc. I had 2 C if any of the #lambily wanted 2 guess!!!” she tweeted.

The new mom calls her admiring fans “lambs,” but she still isn’t ready to share her babies’ names with the “lambily” or the rest of the world quite yet.

The game continued an hour later, as she revealed yet another piece to puzzle: “ Both begin w/M's!!!! : )”

The couple has used the Twittersphere to give a play-by-play of their pregnancy and show their appreciation for their supportive fans.

“I wish I could personally thank all those around the world who continue 2 send congrats+prayers for #dembabies! they're doing great,” Carey tweeted.

So far, there is still no word on the names of "#dem babies" (as Carey has been lovingly calling them) but we'll all surely be the first to know!

2011 Tony Award Nominations Announced

Earlier this morning, the nominees for the 2011 Tony Awards were announced by former Tony Award recipients Matthew Broderick and Anika Noni Rose. Leading the pack with 14 noms was ‘The Book of Mormon’, created by the folks who brought us South Park – Trey Parker and Matt Stone. They almost tied the 15 nods ‘The Producers’ earned in 2001 and ‘Billy Elliot’ back in 2009. Were your favorites nominated? Who got snubbed? Get more deets here! The ceremony will be held Sunday, June 12th at the Beacon Theatre in New York and broadcast live on CBS at 8:00 PM EST. While the buzz most certainly should surround all who received nods, instead, many are sounding off as to why some people got the snub. Daniel Radcliffe was overlooked in the musical, ‘How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying’. The Harry Potter star has received stellar reviews for his performance as J. Pierpont Finch. His co-star, John Laroquette, however, did receive a nomination. James Earl Jones, a two time Tony Award winner, surprisingly did not receive a nomination today for his role as Hoke in ‘Driving Miss Daisy’. His co-star, Vanessa Redgrave (Daisy), received a Best Actress nod. Robin [...]

Avengers' Star Tom Hiddleston Hints At Loki's Villainous 'Ways And Means

'I read it and my mind exploded,' 'Thor' star says of Joss Whedon's top-secret script.

As anyone who's been following the ever-growing excitement surrounding Joss Whedon's "The Avengers" well knows, the nitty-gritty details of the film are hard to come by these days. Aside from the film's superstar casthttp://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1644385/avengers-cast-exact-crew-i-wanted-joss-whedon.jhtml, and the fact that filming began last week, there hasn't been too much to report.

Recently, MTV News managed to get a few teasers from future "Avengers" Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans, who hinted at "tension" among the ego-centric superheroes and some shiny new costumes. And now, thanks to an intriguing conversation had with Tom Hiddleston during the "Thor" press day over the weekend, we've gained some serious "Avengers" insight — from the security measures taken with the scripts, to who will likely be playing the sole villain in the film.

"It's like 'Mission: Impossible,' " Hiddleston joked about receiving the script. "It was delivered to me at my flat in London, and I sat down and I read it and my mind exploded," he said. "It is so good and so fun, and so huge, what Joss Whedon has already done, that screenplay is an achievement in itself."

Hiddleston said that he was so excited when he heard the news — that his mischievous "Thor" character, Loki, would indeed be a part of "Avengers," he nearly fell off his chair.

"The thing is, you want to call all your friends and tell them, but that's when the red dot appears on your forehead and your life is over," he joked of the extreme parameters set to keep the actors from revealing anything. "So, I had to just do a Loki dance in my flat, that's how it went down."

With regard to the "tension" that Hiddleston's onscreen brother Hemsworth (a.k.a. Thor) alluded to, the actor hinted that there will be far more tension between Loki and the Avengers.

"Let's say it's going to take more than Loki's hunky brother to take him down this time," Hiddleston said with a laugh.

He's also excited about the prospect of facing off against eight different "enemies," so to speak.

"The characters are so different. That's part of the joy of 'The Avengers,' I think," he said. "You bring all the people, you bring nuclear scientists and gods, and gamma-ray [scientists] and a super soldier from the1940s, so the skill sets are different, and I guess they're all a match for Loki in different ways."

We then asked Hiddleston if he felt the eight-against-one odds felt like a lot to take on.

"I guess so, but, you know, he has ways and means," he said slyly.

Can we assume he probably knows how to unite with other people and has a good network?

"This is where I can feel the red dot forming [on my forehead], so I'm just going to have to shut up," Hiddleston joked, stopping himself before he revealed any spoilers that might get him in trouble.

Check out everything we've got on "The Avengers."
