Ahhh birth. The miracle of life. And one of Hollywood’s favorite plot points.

Birth scenes in movies range from shouty and grunty to creepy and gooey and often leave viewers with the highly philosophical question: What is that baby really covered in?

You’ll get birth scenes in spades when you catch “What To Expect When You’re Expecting,” the new star-studded rom-com opening today. Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Elizabeth Banks, Chace Crawford, Chris Rock and Anna Kendrick are just a few of the celebs who bring to life the wacky rollercoaster ride that anticipating a brand new bundle of joy can be.

It’s loosely based on the bestselling self-help book by Heidi Murkoff (there’s probably a well-worn copy stashed somewhere in your parents’ house), and focuses on five couples as they anticipate parenthood. There are lots of preggo bellies, raging hormones, slapstick humor and moments of sheer terror ? err, joy.

But just like giving birth in reality, you should be prepared. There are many different types of cinematic births. Here is a smattering of a few of the more notable ones to get you ready for “What To Expect.” Think of it like taking a pre-film Lamaze class.

Violent Birth: “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn ? Part 1″
The birth of Renesmee, the half-vampire, half-human spawn of Bella and Edward Cullen, is a bloody good time. Punctuated by the sounds of ripping flesh, flashing red and yellow lights, and what seems like gallons of fake blood throughout, this highly anticipated birth scene flat-out induced seizures in several folks around the country who saw it in theaters. It’s definitely not for the squeamish.

Water Birth: “The Back-Up Plan”
This rom-com stars Jennifer Lopez as a perennial bachelorette who gets artificially inseminated in a moment of desperation, only to meet her soul mate later that day. The film is notable for a certain scene in which JLo’s character and her would-be baby daddy (Alex O’Loughlin) witness a home water birth, complete with a plastic inflatable pool, animalistic noisemaking, unidentified floating objects and a bongo-drumming hippy, played by a hilarious pre-”Bridesmaids” Melissa McCarthy. Words cannot describe this chaotic scene that brings the term TMI to a whole new level.

The Creepy Supernatural Birth: “Children of the Damned”
If you’ve always dreamed of having kids at the same time as all of your best friends, we’re pretty sure you didn’t mean it to happen like it does in this 1995 John Carpenter flick (a remake of a chilling 1960 classic) starring Christopher Reeve, Kirstie Alley and Linda Kozlowski. This horror movie opens with an evil presence sweeping through a small American town, mysteriously knocking up its female residents. Exactly nine months later, there’s a blond baby boom that starts with a mile-long caravan of cars on their way to the hospital (which is actually a barn converted for the occasion) and ends with a shrill chorus of howling moms and mewling, questionably human, infants. This one isn’t so much gross as it is creepy.

The Sympathy Pains Birth: “Nine Months”
Hugh Grant plays his signature role of the ever-bumbling bachelor in this 1995 Chris Columbus romantic comedy. When his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, Hugh’s character is forced to man up in the course of nine months and stick with her. He does, but not before he faints (along with the also-bumbling and squeamish doctor played by Robin Williams) in the delivery room after getting an eyeful of the process.

The ’80s Birth: “She’s Having a Baby”
Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern (long before she became the mistress of ?Downton Abbey?) star in this late-’80s comedy from John Hughes about newlyweds adjusting to society’s expectations of them ? namely that they immediately start popping out babies. The film is pretty light-hearted until the end, when they actually have a baby. Then it turns all crazy dramatic when there’s a complication with the birth and Kevin Bacon’s character ends up sobbing like a little girl in a hospital waiting room. Don’t worry though, it has a happy ending.

Bonus ? The Man Birth: “Junior”
Now this one doesn’t happen often in movies, but it bears mentioning because, well, it’s not everyday that you see Arnold Schwarzenegger giving birth via c-section. The Governator takes one for the team in this 1994 Ivan Reitman comedy that reunites him with his ?Twins? co-star Danny DeVito, playing a devoted fertility research scientist who agrees to become a test subject and carry a baby to term ? in his own body. This one gets bonus points for the hilarious (and kind of terrifying) dream sequence brought on by pregnancy hormones in which Arnold’s character gives birth to a baby that has his adult face.

When you think of a king of England and a president of the United States your mind rarely travels to outdoor barbeques and jumping in pools, but that’s just what goes on in the “Hyde Park on Hudson” trailer?and Bill Murray lights up portraying Franklin D. Roosevelt.

While the film is based around real events, we’re not sure how historically accurate the movie will turn out, but watching Murray take on the charm and gentle mannerisms of America’s 32nd President is a jolly ol’ delight.

Check out the first trailer below, and learn more about “Hyde Park on Hudson” after the jump!

Before 1939, no reigning king of England had ever visited America. But that summer FDR and his wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams) host the royals at their home in Hyde Park on Hudson, an estate in upstate New York. As war with Germany looms in the distance for Great Britain, the King is hoping the holiday will lead to the President’s support. But the weekend gets a little out of hand as his loved ones conspire to make it a memorable one.

The visit is narrated by Franklin’s distant cousin and cherished friend Daisy, played by Laura Linney. Through her eyes, the audience learns more than the toils of diplomacy and gets to the heart of love and friendship.

“Hyde Park on Hudson” opens in theaters on December 7.

Spoiler alert: No one says “you sunk my battleship” in “Battleship.” But director Peter Berg has a very good explanation for that. No one said it in the movie because the Regents didn’t sink the Navy’s battleships.

But before you get all up in arms about the omission, there is an homage to the famous admission of defeat from the Battleship pencil and paper game in the feature film. Fans just might miss it during their first go around.

“We have a version of it though. There was a reference to the line,” Berg promised in a recent interview with MTV News.

According to Berg, the reference is something along the lines of, “Ain’t gonna sink this battleship, no way.” When asked why he didn’t just say the classic line anyways, he said, “They don’t sink our battleship. Sorry.”

That’s not to say that there never was a version of the script where “you sunk my battleship” was said. It just didn’t end up working in the final cut of the film.

“We played around. I mean, we’ve said the line, we didn’t say the line, and then I sort of had this idea that maybe we should come up with a different way of respecting the line but, you know what, they didn’t sink the battleship,” Berg said. “There are a lot of ways you could have done it. We chose our way.”

In honor of two separate Brooklyn Decker films hitting theaters this weekend, we have recommended only movies that don’t feature Brooklyn Decker, so sorry fans of “Just Go With It.”

Check out this week’s Double Feature Friday!

“Battleship” & “Friday Night Lights”
There was a time, not so long ago, when Peter Berg, instead of directing films “From the Makers of Transformers,” could make a movie like this adaptation of the book by Buzz Bissinger. In the years since it’s release, against all odds, the TV series that spun off from “Friday Night Lights” eclipsed the original thanks to delightful turns by Kyle Chandler and “Battleship” star Taylor Kitsch. The 2004 starring Billy Bob Thornton and the future Mrs. Taylor, Connie Britton, delivers on all the same honest notes that made the series such a wonderful show but does so in a slightly darker shade of Panther blue. Then again, if you just want a Kitsch fix, turn to the “FNL” series and get on board with Riggins’ Riggs.

“What to Expect When You’re Expecting” & “Waking Ned Devine”
“What to Expect” director Kirk Jones made a name for himself with the charming Irish comedy from 1998, “Waking Ned Devine.” After old Ned Devine wins the lottery and subsequently dies of shock, his small town in Ireland comes together to hatch a scheme where they could all collect and split the money. Funny and warm, Jones’ first film about death could be the perfect pairing for his new one about new life.

“The Dictator” & “The Great Dictator”
Long before Sacha Baron Cohen was lampooning the likes of Saddam, Charlie Chaplin sent a big F-U to Adolf Hitler a whole year before the United States even entered World War II. Chaplin took aim at a living, powerful and dangerous figure and made his feelings heard loud and clear. The comedy classic stands as a testament to the power of a genre most see as just about the laughs.

“Hysteria” & “Like Crazy”
This limited release about the dawn of the first vibrator co-stars Felicity Jones, the British actress who made an incredible impression in last year’s “Like Crazy.” The Sundance darling tells the story of an all-too-real long distance couple, who do whatever they can to stay together, even if it’s not the best idea. Anton Yelchin and Jones both deliver genuine performances that charm as much as they sting.

For his song “This Is Love,” will.i.am enlisted Dutch singer Eva Simons to add some powerhouse vocals to the raging party track. The searing dance production is highlighted by Simons’ diva-tude as her voice soars over will’s creation, full of big chants, bumping beats and dirty synths.

Simons had already proved she had hook potential appearing on Afrojack’s 2010 dance-floor anthem “Take Over Control,” and given will’s history of enlisting female pop singers to add a bit of sexy flair to his songs, Simons was a perfect muse to help shape his latest dance-pop track.

“He is super creative, and we kind of have the same energy: We can’t sit still. We were in the studio, and he had this track,” Simons recalled to MTV News about working with the Black Eyed Peas mastermind. “And he’s like, ‘Yo, Eva, would you like to do this song with me?’ And we had been recording a couple tracks before, so he knows what I’m capable of and he trusts me, and we don’t really know each other for that long, but he trusts me.

“I recorded it,” she continued. “And he mixes it straight away from his laptop … and it’s done. That’s so beautiful ? not only is he super creative and knows what he wants, but he also sees when other people are creative as well. He’s not afraid to collaborate.”

This particular collaboration also included Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello. “It’s really a club-banger,” Simons said, adding that will included “some piano intro in there and violins. … He’s always creative. It doesn’t [just] work for the clubs, it works for the radio, it’ll also work on a big festival, like him on the piano, some strings, some live drums.”

will and Simons recently shot a video for the track, and she had this tease for fans when asked to give some hints: “Fireworks. Just like, ‘What world is this? Like, where are we?’ and ‘What season is this?’ ” she said. “It’s mad. It’s pretty awesome.”

Much of that awesomeness, she adds, stems from will directing the clip himself. “I’m just surprised. I’m not surprised, actually, ’cause that’s him,” she said. “He is also a super-geek. I’m a super-geek. I love technology, and he was like, he was directing the video and he was doing the motion-control of the camera and everything. He knows his stuff. It was pretty awesome to see.”

Simons continued that it was refreshing to see that even with all his years in the industry, he still loves to do it. “I just admire him,” she said. “After all those years he still has that fire, and that’s just beautiful. But I feel like ? ’cause I was big fan of the Black Eyed Peas, and I still am ? and he seems like he’s the same guy still that I see before.”

Their song is expected to appear on will’s long-teased solo album, #willpower, which also features Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Mick Jagger and Nicole Scherzinger. No release date has been set for the album.

Hooray for Movie Awards season and the cutthroat competition between this year’s very deserving group of nominees! And although the majority of the nominations were snagged by some popular wizards, bridesmaids and tributes, there is plenty of Movie Awards love and Golden Popcorn to go around. Kinda.

Speaking of Movie Awards love, we have to give it up to first-time nominee Oliver Cooper for putting together this very clever campaign video and Facebook page.

“These are the nominees for Best Onscreen Dirtbag, but only one of them has a proven track record as a douchebag,” the ad begins. “He’s been called a crude, pushy creep, and ‘the most annoying movie character since Jar Jar Binks.’”

MTV News recently caught up with the Best Onscreen Dirtbag nominee to discuss his creative campaign efforts.

“I’m stoked. I’m putting all my hours in the campaign to win this Dirtbag award,” Cooper said. “My strategy is to talk to as many people as I can to win this thing. I’m traveling across the country,” he joked. “We don’t have much money right now, I’m taking Greyhound buses to different cities telling people why I should win.”

The “Project X” star went on to say that he’s going for strong word of mouth, as well as a few sympathy votes.

“We’re going to put up more videos and hopefully catch a following, get people onboard, who liked the movie or hated me,” he said. “There are probably more people that hated me.”

“I’m trying to gain as much weight, let myself go as much as possible,” he continued, speaking to how he’s getting ready for his big night on June 3. “I want people to really think of me as disgusting. ‘God that guy is despicable. How can he possibly be in movies?’”

Head over to MovieAwards.MTV.com to vote for your favorite flicks now! The 21st annual MTV Movie Awards air live Sunday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET.

Juno Temple grew up to live every little boy’s and little girl’s fantasy. Not only did she get to work with Batman in “The Dark Knight Rises,” but it was announced today she’ll be starring alongside Angelina Jolie in Disney’s “Maleficent,” playing a fairy. Meeting a superhero and living in a Disney fairy tale ? it’s the stuff that makes up childhood dreams!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Temple joins Imelda Saunton and Lesley Manville as Thistletwit, one of the pixie fairies who take care of Aurora while she’s exiled to a cottage in the woods. All three of the fanciful creatures are described as “neglectful and superficial.”

“Maleficent” is a unique take on the classic fairy tale, “Sleeping Beauty.” Jolie is playing the title character, an evil witch who casts a spell on Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning) on her 16th birthday sending her into a permanent slumber.

When she spoke to EW.com, Jolie said that though the story is told from the villain’s perspective in the film, it doesn’t cast a bad light over Aurora. “It’s not anti-princess,” she said. “But it’s the first time they’re looking at this epic woman… I hope in the end you see a woman who is capable of being many things, and just because she protects herself and is aggressive, it doesn’t mean she can’t have other [warmer] qualities.”

She continued, “It sounds really crazy to say that there will be something that?s good for young girls in this, because it sounds like you?re saying they should be a villain. [Maleficent] is actually a great person. But she?s not perfect. She?s far from perfect.”

“Maleficent” is set to hit theaters March 14, 2014 and the movie is said to begin filming this June in London.

Are you excited to see “Maleficent” coming together? Spill your thoughts in the comments and on Twitter!
