More than 50% of 'Sex and the City 2' is set in the desert oasis of Abu Dhabi, a beautiful and exotic locale where every wish and command of the four ladies is met by a team of charming Middle Eastern butlers. Well, not every wish. Samantha is detained for inappropriate sexual behavior on a beach, and the women consistently feel stifled by the mores of the religious country, often making a joke about it, but still creating an image of Abu Dhabi as beautiful and exotic but utterly foreign and perhaps even dangerous for Americans.

So it remains to be seen whether or not 'SATC2' will be a boon or a bust for Abu Dhabi's emerging international tourism industry. When Peter Jackson filmed the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy in the picturesque mountains and rolling hills of New Zealand, interest spiked as audiences were introduced to the beautiful island country. The success of the films even launched a cottage industry of 'Rings'-related tourism, where tour companies focused on the creation, locations and process of making the films. The 'Harry Potter' series has had a similar effect on tourism in the United Kingdom.

Obviously, seeing a beautiful location on screen helps to tempt travelers to visit. But there's a problem for Abu Dhabi -- the movie wasn't filmed there. It was filmed on location in Morocco, and for that reason, Abu Dhabi's tourism bureau doesn't think the film will do much to boost their tourism economy, and in fact, it is trying to distance itself from the film altogether.

Beefing up for a role definitely gets Hollywood talking -- just ask Jake Gyllenhaal, who had to turn into a hulk-like warrior for his role in 'Prince of Persia.' In an interview with Moviefone, he admitted that putting on all that muscle wasn't that big of a deal. "There was nothing hard about it, man, I was paid to get in shape," he said. Easier said than done, Mr. Gyllenhaal.

But were rigorous training and a strict diet the only factors contributing to his new washboard abs? Gyllenhaal's trainer, Simon Waterson, spoke with PopEater to reveal how the doe-eyed actor transformed his body in less than four months.

'Dancing with the Stars' standout and country music sensation Julianne Hough might be starring in the upcoming movie 'Burlesque,' but that doesn't mean she's straying to the pop-culture dark side.

"It's PG-13, don't worry," Hough tells PopEater in an exclusive video. "It's really tastefully done. The costumes are not any more skimpy than what you would see on any 'Dancing With the Stars.'" That said, we've seen a lot of those 'DWTS' costumes and they are generally pretty shocking. But that's besides the point.

Dennis Hopper, whose unmistakable presence graced the silver screen for five decades in classics like 'Easy Rider' and 'Apocalypse Now,' died on Saturday after a grueling battle with prostate cancer, a friend of the actor told Reuters. The actor was surrounded by family and friends when he died at his home in Venice, California shortly after 8 AM, according to the friend, Alex Hitz. Hopper was 74.

The actor spent most of 2010 embroiled in a divorce from his fifth wife of 14 years, Victoria Duffy-Hopper. A family friend told The Huffington Post in January that Hopper was "delirious and having difficulty speaking." It was more recently reported that Hopper weighed just barely 100 pounds and was too frail to attend chemotherapy treatments or divorce proceedings.

Just one day after TMZ announced Heidi Montag's split from husband Spencer Pratt, Jennifer Bunney of 'The Hills' is talking about Heidi's plans to move out.

"Heidi and I are moving into a Malibu beach house this summer," Bunney told RadarOnline.com. "It's just her being able to have some freedom from marriage and for us to work on our friendship and focus on things we want to focus on." Bunney revealed Spencer and Heidi are "not legally" separated.

If you think next month's soccer World Cup is an obscure event mostly of interest to foreigners, that's nothing compared to the annual aneurysm that is today's 'Eurovision Song Contest.'

But those who are suffering from 'American Idol' withdrawal after Wednesday's finale might want to check it out.

'Eurovision' is like a kitschy 'European Idol' sung mostly, but not entirely, in English, and is one of those weird cultural happenings that is followed almost everywhere in the world except the USA.

You read that right. Two new MTV Movie Awards promos feature Justin Bieber, Robert Pattinson, and host Aziz Ansari joined by 'The Hurt Locker' star Jeremy Renner and Tom Cruise channeling his manic 'Tropic Thunder' producer, Les Grossman. The promos are slick, hilarious, and, surely, Biebertastic and R-Pattsalicious.

"I don't know who Justin Bieber is, alright? And I don't care," Renner tries to boast in the first clip, though he's quickly and comically proven wrong. Check it out:

After the jump, the Cruise/Pattinson collaboration you've waited a lifetime for (warning, contains foul language).
