Which comic book heroes from this years movie remakes made the cut?
With only a month or so to go until the 2011 MTV Movie Awards - the nominee list has just been revealed and we're pleased to see a superhero-worthy number of nominations for films, actors and notable moments from this years most successful page-to-screen adaptations.
MTV's Rick Marshall gives us the rundown on the comic stars who've made a big impact on the big screen this year ......
In the Best Breakout Star category, it's Spider-Man vs. Hit-Girl as "The Social Network" actor Andrew Garfield vies against Chloe Moretz, the ass-kicking, pre-teen dynamo of "Kick-Ass." Also nominated is Jay Chou, who also kicked a significant amount of ass as Kato in "The Green Hornet."
The Best Villain category features the comics-friendly duo of Christoph Waltz in "The Green Hornet" and Mickey Rourke in "Iron Man 2." We're not sure why none of the Evil Exes from "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" made the cut here, but hey, we don't make the rules.
It feels like another "Scott Pilgrim" snub here, but the only comic book movie to get a nod in the Best Fight category was "Kick-Ass" â specifically, the very-worthy brawl between Chloë Moretz and Mark Strong.

Space Hopper Saves The Day!
While getting our fix of the mags last night, TruffleShuffle came across this amazing story of how a Space Hopper saved the lives of two young girls and we had to share it with you.
The two girls aged 15 and 16 were walking along a sea wall in Dawlish when a freak wave knocked them off and swept them out to sea. Neighbours heard the girls screams and ran to help but when they realised the life bouy wouldnât reach them, they had to come up with another plan of action. Luckily, another quick thinking neighbour just happened to have a Space Hopper to hand?!! which he was able to throw out to where the girls were trying to stay afloat. With the help of the super space hopper, the girls were able to hold on till the life boat and coast guard rescue teams arrived.
Both girls went on to make a full recovery after their ordeal and will always remember the funny faced, bouncy toy that saved their lives. Get your very own super life saver for just £14.95 at TruffleShuffle.com.
We know what we are taking with us to the seaside this Summer!

**Newsflash** Tinkerbell has stolen Peter Pans wardrobe.
Either Disney has decided Tinkerbell's attire was to 'saucy' or theyâve just decided to make their feminine characters more masculine.
Either way, the new and frankly unimproved uniform and image of Tinkerbell leaves a lot to be desired from the formerly cute minidress clad nymph. The new image is just plain silly. Itâs not even that different from Peter Pan. They've crazily opted to ditch the cute strapless green dress, the magic wand, and very visible angel wings. And now, thereâs this stupid-looking visor/hat contraption. Disney said it wanted to give âTinkâ a tomboyish look. Um, ok......
Yes, Disney claims that itâs new Tinkerbell release out on end of October takes place in the autumn when weather is cooler, but the weather has never affected Tinkerbell couture before. Itâs a cartoon character, not a weather dependent human.
What is going on????????
