TV
Don't bite into that golden popcorn tub — it'll crack your teeth right off! TV Guide calls the MTV Movie Awards "the Oscars' drunken cousin, where categories like Biggest Badass Star guarantee us the acceptance speeches will be better than most of the nominated flicks." Last year, Sacha Baron Cohen staged a stunt where he flew his scantily clad body into Eminem, who pretended to storm out. And "Twilight" fans were in heaven when best kiss winners  Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson almost kissed on stage, only to have her pull away. What wackiness will ensue this year? For one thing, Sandra Bullock, who hasn't been seen much since her much-publicized breakup with Jesse James, will be in attendance. The cameras will go nuts. (June 6, 9 p.m., MTV.)

Jillian Michaels, the demanding trainer from "The Biggest Loser," now has her own show. "Losing It With Jillian" sends Michaels into the homes of eight families who are severely overweight and unhealthy, and she works with the entire group to set them on a path to fitness. (June 1, 10 p.m., NBC.)

Sunny summer is a good time for creepy crime. Investigation Discovery's new "Unusual Suspects" focuses on crimes committed by the most unlikely of criminals, from model citizens to highway patrolmen. (Sneak peek May 21, 10 p.m., Investigation Discovery.)

Movies
"Splice"
takes a creepy look at what could happen if genetic research goes too far. Sarah Polley and Adrien Brody star as scientists working on creating creatures in a laboratory. But when they give in to the temptation to mix human DNA into their animal creation, well, anyone who's seen "The Island of Doctor Moreau" can imagine that things aren't going to end well. (Opens June 4.)

Is Katherine Heigl in every romantic comedy these days? Seems that way, and now she's paired up with Ashton Kutcher in "Killers," a film about a happily married woman who learns that her husband is a CIA assassin, and their lives may be in danger. (MAY be? We're betting that's a "must be," but with plenty of slapsticky situations along the way.) Oh, and according to IMDb.com, during filming, Kutcher accidentally knocked out a stuntman with his fist. (Opens June 4.)

DVD
"Alice in Wonderland" played in 3-D in the theaters, but honestly, you don't need those funny glasses — the 3-D added little to Tim Burton's crazy, colorful melee. Johnny Depp plays a spacey Mad Hatter but don't miss the hilarious Tweedledum and Tweedledee. The DVD comes with nine bonus features, including looks at the costume design, the music, the stunts and more. (Out on DVD June 1.)

Music
"American Idol" alum Clay Aiken has changed a lot since his days as a geeky contender on the show. He's starred on Broadway, worked as a UNICEF ambassador, come out as gay and become a father. His new album, "Tried and True," takes a break from all the changes and features Aiken singing classic tunes, including "Mack the Knife," "Moon River" and "Unchained Melody." (Out on CD June 1.)
