While MTV News is getting ready to rock out at the O Music Awards, streaming live tonight from Las Vegas at 11 p.m. ET, we have our team reporting from in and around the festivities, trying to get the scoop from fans and featured musicians alike.

MTV TJ Gabi Gregg caught up with creative duo Matt and Kim to get some details about their upcoming performance, as well as their thoughts on Chiddy Bang's efforts to win the "Longest Rap Freestyle" crown.

"We hope it's going to be in typical Matt and Kim fashion," keyboardist Matt Johnson said of their performance. "A sweaty dance party, I think."

"I don't even think we have to think about it," drummer Kim Schifino added. "I think Vegas is going to bring that for us."

Regarding what they could tease about said sweaty dance party, Johnson teased that there will be audience involvement and possibly a few balloons.

"We've been known to play in the center of the room with our audience around us. We're so much about the whole thing being a part of the experience," he said. "Not just us; the whole audience is part of the experience too, and in this situation, I love [that] we're going to be in the center of the crowd.

"I do know that there's a thing called globophobia, which is the fear of balloons, and there might be a lot of balloons involved coming up later," he teased.

Schifino and Johnson haven't been focusing all their attention on the performance, however. They're especially interested in Chiddy Bang's nine-hour freestylin' feat.

"We were watching online," Schifino said. "I've also been twittering at him, throwing out things he could talk about. I don't know if he's actually incorporated any of that, but, you know, typical 'Kim is awesome,' 'Kim has a slammin' booty.' "

Awesome Kim-isms aside, Schifino went on to say that she's amazed that Chiddy, a.k.a. Chiddy Bang's Chidera Anamege, has the stamina to keep rapping.

"It's stressful to watch, because you're there rooting for him," she said. "He can't take more than a three-second break. I couldn't talk for nine hours, let alone freestyle and be creative with it."

The inaugural O Music Awards will stream live from Las Vegas tonight at 11 p.m. ET/ 8 p.m. PT on OMusicAwards.com. Tune in to see who will reign supreme in categories like Most Viral Dance, Funniest Music Short and NSFW Music Video!

Last week's intriguing "Hunger Games" casting rumors are true! Elizabeth Banks has officially been cast in Lionsgate's highly anticipated adaptation of Suzanne Collins' best-selling dystopian novel. Banks will play Effie Trinket, the intense, chirpy, pink-haired escort to District 12's Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. Effie accompanies and helps prepare the teenagers on their fight-to-the-death journey.

The 37-year-old Banks last appeared onscreen opposite Russell Crowe in the thriller "The Next Three Days," and has a recurring role on NBC's "30 Rock."

She'll next be seen alongside Paul Rudd in the comedy "Our Idiot Brother." Banks' casting announcement leaves only a few more holes to fill in the ever-growing cast, with fans eager to learn who'll play the roles of Cinna, the stylist assigned to the District 12 tributes, and Haymich, the cranky, alcoholic, one-time Hunger Games champion from 12. Although reports surfaced late last week that John C. Reilly was in talks to play Haymich, we've heard that's just a rumor.

Banks joins previously announced co-stars Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss), Josh Hutcherson (Peeta), Liam Hemsworth (Gale Hawthorne), along with Amandla Stenberg and Dayo Okeniyi as District 11 tributes, Leven Rambin and Jack Quaid as District 1 contenders, and Ian Nelson and Kalia Prescott for District 3.

Directed by Gary Ross and scripted by Billy Ray, "The Hunger Games," the first movie in a possible trilogy based on Collins' books, is expected to shift into production later this year. The film is slated to be released on March 23, 2012.

What do you think of Elizabeth Banks being cast as Effie? Sound off in the comments below!

Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson Set a Wedding Date

Jessica Simpson's wedding plans are in motion! Though the fashion mogul still hasn't decided what she will wear when she walks down the aisle with fiance Eric Johnson, she has decided when the nuptials will take place.

"I'm still trying to figure out what to wear! I don't know if I want the big boom, or the curvy thing, but it will be something beautiful," Simpson, 30, told Us Weekly at their Hot Hollywood party at L.A's Eden on Tuesday. "I kind of have a couple ideas in my head, and I have a date; I'm really excited!"

Simpson and Johnson got engaged in November, when the 33-year-old former NFL player shocked the blonde beauty with a three-stone ruby rock and a proposal. Now Simpson is gearing up for their big day, but she reveals that slimming down for affair is not her main priority.

"I just have to work out on my own. There is no regimen I need to follow. There's no diet I need to follow. I just need to do some things for myself and that's it. And that will make me feel the happiest," she said. "No exercise is fun! I am going to dance around my bedroom and hopefully lose some weight -- and lift some weights and do what I can!"

'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Part 2' Trailer Debuts

Highly anticipated clip shows mysterious Snape, Harry's mother, Lily, and several other key scenes.

There's been a lot of build up to the first trailer for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," from the sneak peeks at new footage to a whole slew of new photos to the opening scene being posted online. Fortunately, the trailer that premiered Wednesday (April 27) on ABC Family made good on all of the hype and surpassed our expectations.

The most exciting and perhaps most surprising thing about the scenes featured in the new trailer is the focus on Snape and his significant flashback sequence. In the opening moments, not only is Snape shown in the now-recognizable scene outside of the Potters' home in Godric's Hollow. But there are also several other key moments included here, including one of Harry's mother, Lily, growing a lily in her palm (a reference to a story Horace Slughorn told in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince").

With the majority of "Deathly Hallows, Part 2" set to focus on the final showdown between Harry and his nemesis, Voldemort, it comes as no shock that most of the trailer showcases plenty of new sequences from the epic last battle. It definitely looks like "Part 2" will have the best fight scenes to date from the series, be it when hundreds of wizards hurtle spells at Hogwarts' defenses, when the statues in Hogwarts come to life to defend the castle, or when Voldemort walks through a room of dead wizards.

But some of the scenes are more poignant than others. Ron weeping over his brother's dead body, Narcissa Malfoy looking troubled (maybe because of a decision she makes in regard to Harry?), Tonks in the midst of fighting and Molly Weasley throwing an attack spell are moments that should resonate with fans of the series or just heighten the excitement for those who've only seen the movies and don't know what's coming next. Harry's line, "I never wanted any of you to die for me," should tug at plenty of heart strings.

There are other extended sequences of previously seen scenes too. Several sequences showing the dragon at the Gringott's breakout have been added into the mix and a longer look at the destruction of the Room of Requirements blends in nicely with the action from the final battle.

But the shots of Snape will likely be considered to be some of the most thrilling in the trailer. It's nice that Warner Bros. is recognizing just how significant a character he is in "Deathly Hallows, Part 2," and using the mystery surrounding him — Is Snape good or is Snape evil? — as the primary vehicle for heightening anticipation for the film.

Check out everything we've got on "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2."
