Keeping Up with the Kardashians: Renewed for THREE More Seasons!

Prepare to watch Kim Kardashian cry fake tears over at least a half dozen more divorces, E! viewers, as the network announced today that it has renewed Keeping Up with the Kardashians for three more seasons.

The new deal is worth $40 million for the family, and that figure does NOT include all the revenue Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and kompany will earn by simply Tweeting and pretending to be your pal on Facebook.

The contract also does NOT cover additional seasons of Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami, Kourtney and Kim Take New York or Khloé & Lamar, along with any future spin-offs producers can conjure up (Kris Does Menopause? Kendall Studies For Her Learner's Permit?).

Keeping Up with the Kardashians premieres its next season on May 20, with the only real question remaining:

How much air time will be dedicated to Kim and Kanye West?

'Glee' Star Chris Colfer Reveals 'Message' Behind 'Struck By Lightning'

Film 'started [as] a way for me to vent out my high school annoyances,' actor tells MTV News about movie he wrote and stars in.

Move over Lea Michele: It looks like Chris Colfer is the new "Glee" star to watch. When he won a Golden Globe in 2011 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, entertainment gurus started paying attention to the guy who plays Kurt Hummel.

Colfer originally auditioned for "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy in the hopes of landing the role of Artie, a paraplegic nerd with insane rapping skills. The part went to Kevin McHale, but Murphy liked Colfer so much that he created the role of Kurt specifically for him. The charisma that won Murphy over has since stolen the hearts of audiences, and the actor has used his fame to launch his own side projects — including "Struck by Lightning," a feature premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.

Colfer wrote the screenplay and stars in the film as Carson Phillips, a driven high school senior and promising journalist focused on making it in New York. His plan is to attend his dream college and become editor of The New Yorker, but things change abruptly when he is — you guessed it — struck by lightning.

"The project kind of started [as] a way for me to vent out my high school annoyances with my classmates and my teachers and the town that I lived in," Colfer told MTV News. "It just kept evolving, evolving ... [until] I just kind of said to myself, 'I really need to make this into a movie someday.' "

Even though the story is loosely based on Colfer's high school experience, he tells us that it is not autobiographical. "Carson is a very, very driven kid who really just wants to get out of his town and is waiting for his life to begin in New York City," he said. "That's his goal. Meanwhile, he's stuck in this really small town with these people whose aspirations are becoming a fireman, becoming a nurse, becoming principal of the school, and he has a hard time with it. And I think he has a really important message for kids to hear these days."

It's a message that can now be heard thanks to the phenomenon of the Fox musical series. "['Glee'] kind of created a possibility for me to do this," the actor revealed. "Making movies, writing stuff, has always been my plan. Always, always, always. And sometimes I laugh when people are surprised that I do that because it's always been so much a passion for me to get into someday.

"I feel like every actor has a shelf life, and luckily I'm relevant now because I'm on 'Glee' and there [are] just a lot of things I want to get done before my shelf life is over," he added, laughing. "So I'm just trying to get everything on my bucket list off while I can."

We'd say he's off to a good start. "Struck by Lightning" will continue playing at the Tribeca Film Festival on Friday, April 27, and Sunday, April 29. Rush tickets will be available. The movie is set to hit theaters later this year.

'Bridget Jones 3' Script In The Works, Hugh Grant Confirms

Leading man tells MTV News he expects 'more fisticuffs' with Colin Firth.

The last time anyone heard about the third film in the "Bridget Jones" franchise, the script was still being reworked to suit lead actors Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. But fans have been getting antsy about the long-rumored sequel, with some wondering if the next chapter in bumbling Bridget's story will ever be told.

When MTV News caught up with Grant in New York City on Friday (April 20), he explained that the British love triangle will return to the big screen ... eventually. However, script problems continue to delay production.

"I've seen some scripts," Grant said. "They haven't quite hit the nail yet, but they will. They're working on it."

Since the script is still in the writing stages, now might be the time to request that Bridget's two leading men, Daniel Cleaver and Mark Darcy, get into one of their infamous brawls, battling it out for Bridget's heart.

"Yes, our public demands some more fisticuffs!" Grant exclaimed.

"Bridget Jones 3" was first announced in August 2011. At one point, "Bridesmaids" director Paul Feig was attached to direct the film, but he exited last October. In November, Firth explained that "Full Monty" director Peter Cattaneo was in talks to take the helm.

In 2001, "Bridget Jones's Diary" became an international smash, making a whopping $282 million at the box office. Three years later, the 2004 sequel "Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason" saw slightly less success Stateside but raked in a whopping $262 million. Now, eight years after the last flick, the third film would potentially follow Bridget as she attempts to tackle motherhood in her 40s. Fans should probably expect lots of trademark Bridget Jones antics to ensue.

Alicia Douvall: I Did Simon Cowell 11 Times in One Night!

Simon Cowell is a busy man. On television, where he produces America's Got Talent, as well as two versions of The X Factor? Sure, we guess.

But in the bedroom is where British model Alicia Douvall is focusing in a new interview, telling Great Britain's The Sun that she once got it on with the reality show star 11 times... in one night!

"We started having sex and went on through the night," Douvall said of a an evening not longer after she met Simon in 2001 at a bar. "We slept a little bit in between but only for a few minutes."

And how as Cowell? Critical, Douvall claims.

"Every time we had sex he would analyze my performance just like a judge on the TV and say how there could be an improvement next time."

The model says she's speaking out now because she's NOT included in "Sweet Revenge: The Intimate Life of Simon Cowell," a biography about the judge penned by Tim Bower.

As someone with first hand knowledge, purportedly, Douvall does not back up Sharon Osbourne's assertions regarding Cowell's manhood.

Mac is back, so you can expect a Most Dope "RapFix Live" when Mac Miller returns to the red couch on Wednesday.

It's been a hell of a ride for the 20-year-old spitter, and he doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. After landing the #1 album in the country last November with his debut LP Blue Slide Park, Mac has been moving at an accelerated pace. He concluded his 80-date, sold-out BSP tour in December and immediately hit the lab to cook up his Macadelic mixtape, which he dropped as a free Internet download in March.

"It's like the story of someone who is growing up, trying to figure out who he is and trying to figure out what he's supposed to do in the world and how he's gonna change it," Mac told Mixtape Daily of Macadelic. "I think it's a great piece because it's a great part of my career, it's a great time right now and I feel like I been making mixtapes for five years, so this one is very special to me."

The tape features contributions from Cam'ron, Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne on the soul-bearing "The Question." "This song is a real meaningful song to me, man, and I wanted to make sure I got Wayne on something that was heartfelt," he said of "The Question." "I got him on a record that I was saying something and not just talkin' sh--, so this record right here really kinda deals with a question that I've been goin' through in my own head."

Mac is currently out on tour in support of Macadelic, but that didn't stop him from announcing his next run: the with Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and Chevy Woods. "It means everything, Mac's my little homey. It's good for his fans; it's good for everybody who've been wanting to see us do what we do together," Wiz told MTV News of the joint summer tour last week while on the set for Maroon 5's "Payphones" video in L.A.

Catch Mac Miller on "RapFix Live" Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com, and be sure to join the Twitter conversation using the hashtag #RapFixLive. Send your questions for the artists @MTVRapFix!
