100 Movie Stars, 100 Porn Star Names
The "porn star name game" is a time-honored tradition in America.
It's a game pretty much anyone can play, depending on the rules — we employ the First Name: First Pet, Last Name: Street You Grew Up On method (our apologies to those with allergies, maybe you had a goldfish?). And the results are, without fail, hilarious.
We asked 100 of our favorite movie stars in Hollywood — including Emma Watson, Keira Knightley, Megan Fox, Ryan Gosling, Paul Rudd, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Katie Holmes, Jon Hamm, Emma Stone and Neil Patrick Harris — for their porn star names. They did not let us down. Click through the gallery for all 100.

Questions and Answers With Common

Rapper-turned-actor Common has had his share of blockbuster roles lately. From parts in "Just Wright" (opposite Queen Latifah) to "Terminator Salvation" (with Christian Bale) to "Date Night" (with Steve Carrell), Common has proven he can act with the big boys (and girls).
With his new film, the homespun drama "LUV," the Chi-town native charts new territory. There are no multi-million-dollar set pieces (though there is hand-to-hand fighting and requisite gun-slinging) and there are no half-naked sci-fi starlets. There is a lot of heart, though.
Common plays Uncle Vincent, a just-out-of-jail "businessman" set on getting rich … the honest way, which turns out to be a lot harder than he anticipates. With his nephew Woody by his side for the day, Vincent does his best to set a good example, which is easier said than done. We talked with Common about "LUV," basketball and rats (natch). Get More »

His stage name may be Common, but there's nothing common about the rapper-turned-movie-star's talent, which is why we're always excited to find out about his next movie. Will it be another family friendly animated hit (such as "Happy Feet Two")? Will it be a smooth romcom (like "Just Wright")? Will be be a sci-fi blockbuster (see: "Terminator: Salvation")?
Would you believe an action flick about ... magicians?
If you somehow guessed "magicians," go to the head of the class, because in a new interview with Movieline, Common revealed that he will be starring in the upcoming magician-centric action thriller "Now You See Me." Hey, nothing common about that. Get More »

Hip-hop artist Common has acted in his fair share of films, but he's never taken one of them to the Sundance Film Festival. That is until now. The artist, born Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr., is in Park City this week in support of his lead turn in the gritty crime drama "LUV," directed by newcomer Sheldon Candis.
Common plays Vincent, a man recently released from prison in Baltimore, who takes his 11-year-old nephew Woody (Michael Rainey Jr.) under his wing one day to give him a taste of the grown-up world. Unfortunately for Woody, Vincent's world is one riddled with violence, drugs, and some really shady characters.
We caught up with Common to find out how he's enjoying his time at Sundance. Get More »

Trailer for 'Beats, Rhymes & Life' Asks: Whatever Happened to A Tribe Called Quest?
Rival
The trailer for "Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest" calls upon some of the biggest names in modern rap to pay respect to the legendary hip-hop group. Pharrell, Common, Ludacris and more agree: without Tribe, they wouldn't be doing what they do today.
Artists Phife Dawg , Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Jarobi White formed A Tribe Called Quest back in the '80s where they produced a handful of classic, musically-innovative records before nearly vanishing in 1998. Actor Michael Rapaport ("True Romance," "Boston Public") has a special place in his heart for the group -- he attended their last show in New York that same year. Ever since, he's wondered how the prolific quartet suddenly disappeared from the music scene. Get More »
