Teen vampire movie “Twilight” led the MTV movie award nominations announced Monday with seven nods, just ahead of Oscar winner “Slumdog Millionaire”, which earned six nominations.

In an online poll, “Twilight” earned nods for best movie, best female performance (Kristen Stewart) and breakthrough performance male (Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner). “Slumdog Millionaire” garnered six nominations, including best movie, breakthrough performance female (Freida Pinto) and breakthrough performance male (Dev Patel).

The awards will take place May 31 in Los Angeles and fans can vote for their favourites at the MTV Movies Awards site.

Joining “Twilight” and “Slumdog Millionaire” in the best movie category are “The Dark Knight”, “High School Musical 3″ and “Iron Man”. The other actors vying in the breakthrough performance male category are Ben Barnes for “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Prince of Caspian” and Bobb’e J. Thompson for “Role Models”. Other breakthrough performance female selections are Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens(”HSM 3″) and Miley Cyrus (”Hannah Montana: The Movie”).

Apart from Stewart the best female performance nominees include Anne Hathaway (”Bride Wars”), Angelina Jolie (”Wanted”) and Kate Winslet (”The Reader”). Zac Efron (”HSM 3″), will compete for best male performance against Shia LaBeouf (”Eagle Eye”) and Robert Downey, Jr. (”Tropic Thunder”).

The best fight awards is a battle between Christian Bale and Heath Ledger (”The Dark Knight”) and Seth Rogen, James Franco and Danny McBride (”Pineapple Express”).

The best kiss category will see another smackdown between “Twilight” (Stewart and Pattinson) and “Slumdog Millionaire” (Pinto and Patel), with other nominees including Franco and Sean Penn (”Milk”), and Paul Rudd and Thomas Lennon (”I Love You, Man”).

Rafiq Quereshi, the father of 9-year-old Slumdog Millionaire star Rubina Ali (youngest Latika) has attempted to sell his daughter in an illegal adoption deal for close to $300,000, according to shocking new reports.

When an undercover reporter pretended to be interested in “adopting” (aka buying) Ali from Quereshi, the girl’s father gave the reporter his sob story:

“We live in one room, seven of us sleep on the floor. I earn £2 to £3 [$3 to $4] a day. I have to consider what is best for me, my family and for Rubina’s future,” said Quereshi.

What about the fact that Slumdog producers have sent Rubina to a UN school and have set up a trust fund the girl will have access to once she turns 18?

Quereshi has adamantly denied any sort of illegal adoption, but with the father of Rubina being more than vocal with his opinion that his daughter was underpaid for appearing in Slumdog Millionaire and the undercover reporters calling their story “fair, true and accurate,” it’s hard not to believe!

» Update: Quereshi has officially been arrested for allegedly attempting an illegal adoption (aka: selling).

Thank you to Ally for letting me know about this, Freida has been nominated for an MTV Movie Award alongside co-star Dev Patel and their Oscar winning movie, Slumdog Millionaire. The nominate awards are:
- Best Movie (Slumdog Millionaire)
- Best Female Performance
- Breakthrough Performance Female
- Best Kiss (Freida & Dev)

Danny Boyle’s acclaimed film “Slumdog Millionaire” has taken home two more major US film industry awards over the weekend, winning the top prizes from both the Screen Actors Guild and the Producers Guild of America.

Bollywood stars Anil Kapoor and Irfaan Khan, British Indian Actor Dev Patel, and newcomer Freida Pinto received the overall cast prize for the Mumbai-set rags-to-riches saga at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles Sunday night from Anthony Hopkins.

Anil Kapoor, accepting on behalf of the “Slumdog Millionaire” cast, dedicated the award to the slum children shown in the movie.

“They deserve this award. They set our performances,” he said. “It’s the children who’ve done it, not us.”

3. “Slumdog Millionaire” earned 10 nominations, but none for acting. How weird is that?

A: Very. It’s almost unheard of for the Academy not to at least throw a best supporting bone to such a highly regarded film. Of course, no one in this wonderful movie is a “name” actor. “Slumdog” will have the last laugh when it wins best picture.
