New York, NY :: Actress Natalie Portman, 24, made an appearance on MTV’s Total Request Live show at the MTV Times Square Studios this past afternoon where she was interviewed by MTV VJ Damien Fahey, 25.  Two contestants vied for a chance to have their picture taken in TRL’s Photo Booth with Natalie Portman as they dueled it out in the ‘N for Natalie’ trivia contest. These questions were asked of the contestants —

What did Natalie major in at Harvard?  Psychology.
What city was Natalie born in? Jerusalem.
How many siblings does Natalie have?  Zero.
What was the name of the Natalie’s character in her Oscar-nominated role in Closer? Alice.
Name one band or artist that Natalie introduced at last summer’s Live 8 concert.  Dave Matthews Band & Alicia Keys and Coldplay.
Natalie played the lead in what Broadway play that debuted in December of 1997.  The Diary of Anne Frank.

The losing contestant, who turned out to be more of the winner because he got more air time, had his head shaved (like Natalie’s character Evey in V for Vendetta) on national television. V for Vendetta opens in theaters and IMAX nationwide this Friday, March 17.  More pictures in the gallery!

Natalie Portman laughs at the sight of the "losing contestant"
 getting his head shaved on live national television.

New York City, NY :: Actor/Rapper Nick Cannon dropped by MTV’s Total Request Live show at the MTV Times Square Studios this past afternoon where he was interviewed by MTV VJ Vanessa Minnillo, 25.  Cannon was there to debut his rock hard abs… oh, and his music video "Dime Piece" featuring Izzy.  What’s a dime piece, you ask?  A dime piece is the "definition of a chick, independent fly thing" according to the song lyrics.  More pictures in the gallery!

New York, NY :: Actor Matthew McConaughey, 36, also made his way to MTV’s Total Request Live show at the MTV Times Square Studios this past afternoon where he was interviewed by MTV VJ Damien Fahey, 25.  Mr. Longhorn is in town to promote her new film Failure to Launch co-starring Sarah Jessica Parker, 40.  More pictures in the gallery including Matthew McConaughey at the world premiere of Failure to Launch in NYC from earlier tonight!

UPDATE :: More pictures added!

Singer Christina Aguilera, 25, was interviewed for MTV’s TRL Awards late last week and gave VJ Damien Fahey an exclusive sneak peek of her new album, "Back To Basics", a throwback to the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s. She previewed one of her songs called "Candy Man", which is "very 50’s style, pin-up dolls in sailor suits and the happiest song on [her] record."  I certainly had my doubts but it sounds absolutely fantastic.  Let’s hope the rest of the alblum sounds just as great!  Christina Aguilera has been in her "creative cave" for a long while now and will return later this year with her new album.  Watch the Christina Ageulera TRL video after the jump.  More pictures in the gallery including Christina leaving Nobu Berkeley at London’s West End with husband Jordan Bratman last night.
