Funnyman Adam Sandler is set to receive MTV’s highest honour at the their 17th Annual Movie Awards this year.

Sandler will be presented with the music network’s Generation Award after bosses decided the 41-year-old star is a leading entertainer among their increasingly younger audience.

The actor-comedian, known for his over-the-top antics on and off screen, will be also feted for his “amazing contributions to Hollywood”.

Executives at clothing company American Apparel have hit back at Woody Allen’s claims they used his image in their advertising without permission, insisting the campaign was meant as a parody.

The veteran director sued the company in March, claiming he was never contacted by the firm - which is known for its provocative ads - about the billboard and online advertisements. The ads featured an image - taken from the 1977 movie Annie Hall - of Allen dressed as a Hasidic Jew.

Shia LaBeouf’s briefs are up for grabs on auction website eBay.

The actor’s costume from the film A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints is on sale.

The odd item, which currently stands at $400, features grey sweatpants, a pair of white briefs and socks - and comes with a letter of authenticity and makeup stains.
