Get In Shape with 'Ghost Rider' Star Idris Elba

You know that Idris Elba is the star of "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance." But did you also know that he's an ambassador for the upcoming London Olympics?

Elba takes his position of ambassador very seriously and believes in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. He's also been concerned about all of the "fat journalists" who ask "lazy questions" that he's been encountering while doing publicity for both "Ghost Rider" and the Olympics -- enough that he's taken it on himself to start a hardcore workout and training program especially for people like MTV's own Josh Horowitz.

It's not easy to train with Idris Elba. Watch as he pushes Josh to his physical, emotional and mental limits in sprinting, wrestling and fencing on MTV After Hours.

Q&A: 'Ghost Rider 2' Directors Totally Think Nic Cage Is a Vampire

Filmmakers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor know all about pumping up the voltage, having helmed "Crank" and its sequel "Crank: High Voltage." But directing Nicolas Cage in "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" was a new experience altogether, because they got to play with fire. Lots of it.

We caught up with Neveldine and Taylor at New York Comic Con, where they revealed just how many bodily orifices can emit flames, as well as those pesky "Nicolas Cage is a vampire" rumors and which Journey songs inspired their flame-filled shoot.

Nicolas Cage: Ultimate Fanboy

Columbia Pictures

This weekend, "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" is motorcycling to multiplexes across the country. Along with flaming asphalt, it will no doubt leave great controversy in the geekazoid community. Is it a fun B-picture offering a heavy dose of Crazy Nic Cage and frenzied Neveldine/Taylor camerawork? Or is a mess on wheels that makes the first "Ghost Rider" look like "Iron Man"?

I leave it to you to hammer this argument out, but there's one thing that's absolutely for certain: Nicolas Cage's fanboy cred.

The two-time Johnny Blaze doesn't just own an Academy Award statuette; he's got the heart of an unrepentant comic-book nerd, and he doesn't care who knows it. In case you weren't aware, let us detail the ways in which Nic Cage is Hollywood's A-list dork. Get More »

Columbia Pictures

Over-the-top directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have got the spirit inside them … the "Spirit of Vengance," that is.

Notoriously quick on their feet, these guys are just now dropping the "Ghost Rider" sequel and they're already talking about a third one. They sure can "Crank" 'em out, can't they?

The team known simply as Neveldine/Taylor, prone to strapping on rollerblades, grabbing a camcorder and getting into the action themselves, have told The Playlist that discussions are already underway for more flaming insanity. Get More »

It's impossible not to notice Italian actress Violante Placido. She possesses the kind of stunning beauty that makes men forget their names, particularly if she's showing off her considerable natural gifts in a movie like "The American."

After her scene-stealing performance opposite George Clooney, it's no wonder Hollywood came calling again to offer her a sexy role in the action sequel "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance." Placido plays the kind of fiercely protective mother who would gladly put a bullet in you if it meant saving her kid. With her alluring charm and acting pedigree, Placido should be a household name in no time. Get More »

The "Seeking Justice" star recently appeared on Capital Breakfast, a show on UK radio station 95-106 Capital FM, and ended up treating the hosts and listeners to his own a cappella version of "Sexy and I Know It," the hit single by electro-rap duo LMFAO (and what BuzzFeed calls "one of the most popular/annoying songs of the millennium").
