Bruce Willis Cracks Up At Vintage 'Die Hard' Intv

Bruce Willis is back for his fifth Die Hard movie as veteran cop John McClane, and the junket for A Good Day to Die Hard proved to be the perfect opportunity to show Bruce some old footage of himself during our on-set interview for 1990's Die Hard 2: Die Harder.

"This should be on your show, this is terrific," Bruce told ET's Christina McLarty with a laugh. "Holy mackerel."

In the vintage ET interview, we asked Bruce if he would do another one, and he replied, "Another Die Hard? I don't think so. I was trying to get them to kill me in this one. I wanted my character to be killed off in this one, but they wouldn't let me do it. … I don't think so, but who knows? Ask me a couple years from now."

"Well, it's very tongue-in-cheek, but that is totally adorable," said Bruce with a sly grin. "I was very glib in those days."

Stars Pick Sides at Hot Super Bowl Parties

ET correspondent and Ravens fan Rocsi Diaz seemed out numbered over the weekend in terms of her football affiliation, which sparked a little friendly competition with Jenny McCarthy.

As a 49ers fan, Jenny agreed to a wager: the loser has to buy the other dinner and drinks when they get back to Los Angeles.

"Girls night out," said Jenny. "You go out with my posse if I win and I go out with your posse if you win."

"And you cannot stop until the other person says the night is over!" Rocsi added.

Rocsi and Jenny were able to make things interesting during the day, but it wasn't until night fall when the action really got rolling.

DIRECTV's Super Saturday Night party has earned the title of biggest pre-Super Bowl bash for good reason. Fans (which included big name stars such as Jon Cryer and Peter Facinelli) were ecstatic about Justin Timberlake's return to the stage after a six-year concert hiatus.

Kidman described the dance as "impromptu," saying that she was just following the lead of another one of the night's guests.

"Robin Williams had done it before, so I thought, 'Well, why not?'" Kidman explained.

For years Kimmel has had a running joke where he ends every episode by apologizing to Matt Damon for running out of time for him. On last week's special episode of the late-night show -- nine years in the making -- Damon recruited some friends (which included Andy Garcia, Sheryl Crow, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Robert DeNiro, Sarah Silverman, Demi Moore and Oprah Winfrey.

4. Jennifer Lawrence Suffers Wardrobe Malfunction

It seemed like disaster for Jennifer Lawrence when her dress came apart just as she was called up to accept the award for Best Actress during the 2013 SAG Awards.

No disaster, here, though -- it turns out the dress was designed that way! A source close to designer Dior told ET that the dress did not rip -- that it was made with different layers of tulle and satin.

This minor outfit hitch comes after it was announced that Lawrence, 22, has walking pneumonia, making this one of the best and worst weeks for the award-winning actress.

Buzzmakers: Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs and Carrie Underwood Premieres Two Black Cadillacs Music Video

What had ET readers buzzing this week?

1. First Clip: Ashton Kutcher Becomes 'JOBS'

Ashton Kutcher takes on the role of a lifetime in JOBS, and we have your first look at the movie.

In the clip, Jobs (played by Ashton Kutcher) is raving about the operating system that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak (played by Josh Gad) created. While Jobs is certain that this will become a ubiquitous product for mass consumption, Wozniak needs convincing.

"Nobody wants to buy a computer," says Wozniak.

"How does somebody know what they want if they've never even seen it?" Jobs replies.

Steve Jobs lost his battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 56 in October 2011 and as April 2013 marks the 37th anniversary of the founding of the Apple Computer Company, Open Road Films has decided to release JOBS on April 19.

Directed by Joshua Michael Stern, written by Matthew Whitely, shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Russell Carpenter and produced by Mark Hulme, JOBS details the major moments and defining characters that influenced Steve Jobs on a daily basis from 1971 through 2001, according to a press release.

"When Disney came to me and said we want you to play Rapunzel, I was just so honored," Swift said. "It's such a wonderful character to get to play, a childhood fantasy come into reality for me."

Turns out, the gig couldn't have been a better fit because Swift got her start singing Disney songs! "My parents realized I was really obsessed with [singing] when I'd go up to strangers and sing Lion King songs," Swift laughs. "I think about all the times me and my little brother went to Disney World and we were able to escape to that place anytime we had a hard time. Any time you're going through something rough, you can go back into your imagination and you're at Disney World."

5. Leo DiCaprio Taking a 'Long Break' From Acting

Nicolas Cage Superman Lives Kickstarter Documentary

Director Zack Snyder and producer Christopher Nolan are putting the finishing touches on their big-budget Superman reboot, Man of Steel, which flies into theaters this June. As buzz around the return of the Son of Krypton continues to grow with Henry Cavill in the title role, many non-film geeks may be unaware that in the late '90s there was a major Superman film in the works that never got off the ground – with a first draft script written by Kevin Smith, directed by Tim Burton, and starring Nicolas Cage as the man in the red cape. Yep, you heard that right.

Pics: 13 Must-See Movies of 2013

Metalocalypse director and Grimm Fairy Tales producer Jon Schnepp is a man obsessed with this film that never got made -- just before Superman Lives was set to start filming in 1997, production was shut down on – and now he's attempting the second-best thing to seeing the final film: He's putting together a documentary chronicling the movie that never was with the help of Kickstarter called The Death of Superman Lives; What Happened?

"For whatever reasons, it all fell apart right before they started shooting," says Schnepp. "It's a bummer, I mean, especially looking at it like almost 15 years later, we could've had the weirdest Superman movie ever made. The weirdness level of this Superman movie beats any superhero film that's ever been made."

After the huge, successful re-launch of the Batman franchise in the early '90s with Michael Keaton in the title role, Warner Bros. was keen to get Burton on board to resurrect their Superman franchise, which had lost steam after four Christopher Reeve movies (WB was only loosely associated with 1987's Superman IV: The Quest for Peace) a decade before. Much like how they recently got The Dark Knight trilogy producer Christopher Nolan on board to produce Snyder's Man of Steel, WB execs believed Burton had the magic touch.

But Burton's vision was perhaps a little too eccentric for the very "Boy Scout" Superman franchise, envisioning bizarre black, rainbow-colored and electrical circuitry suits; drooling, scaly monsters; skull-shaped spaceships; and a Superman who didn't even fly. Brainiac was intended to be the main villain, with a disembodied head connected to a spidery robotic apparatus, no doubt the influence of former Batman and Batman Returns producer Jon Peters, who was obsessed with spiders.

Video: New 'Man of Steel' Trailer Soars!

Of course, we all know that Warner Bros. eventually entrusted the Superman franchise to X-Men director Bryan Singer, whose Superman Returns fell short of box-office expectations in 2006 and failed to yield a new series. Meanwhile, Nic Cage named his own son after Superman, with little Kal-El born in 2005, and Burton went on to make a string of remakes and franchise adaptations to varying degrees of success -- but never took on another major comic book superhero.

The enthusiastic Schnepp is hoping to interview the key artists involved with the Superman Lives movie that never happened, and if his Kickstarter campaign exceeds his budget goal, he plans to use the money to film a few actual scenes from the film that never saw a frame of exposed celluloid. Pretty cool idea, eh?

"Happiness is a choice," says Michelle, who says she had to face her "repressed anger" issues to understand why she was depressed, clarifying that it all happened before Destiny's Child went their separate ways. "There were times in depression where I could stay in the bed all week -- but it's like, 'Girl, you've got to get up! Honey, get fabulous, curl your hair, put some lip gloss on it, do something -- you have to choose life!'"

Earlier this month, Destiny's Child (Williams, Beyonce and Kelly Rowland) announced that they're reuniting after eight years with some new music. Love Songs, out January 29, will be a collection of the trio's most romantic tracks over the years, in addition to at least one new song: Nuclear. Michelle is also working on a solo album that is described as an "inspirational" project.

The new Destiny's Child album release date coincides with the national tour kick-off of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Fela!, which is produced by Jay-Z, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith and Ruth and Stephen Hendel. In the production based on a true story, Michelle plays Sandra Isadore, an activist and the love interest of Afrobeat originator Fela Kuti, whose music and rousing lyrics openly attacked the corrupt military dictatorships that ruled Nigeria and much of Africa. The multi-city engagement kicks off at Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, DC and travels to Detroit, Chicago, Charlotte, Atlanta, Miami, Schenectady, Memphis, Dallas, Cleveland and Los Angeles.

Video Flashback: Destiny's Child on 'Sesame Street'

As for Beyoncé’s alleged lip-synced performance of the national anthem at President Obama's Inauguration, Williams offers, "I will say this, it's not the first or the last time that someone has had to lip-sync…my greatest singer of all time, Whitney Houston, it came to light that her anthem was in fact lip-synced."

Sheryl Crow on Lance Armstrong Doping Confession to Oprah Winfrey

Sheryl Crow (who will be advising Blake Shelton on The Voice this season) opened up to Nancy O'Dell on the set of the singing competition over the weekend, commenting on Lance Armstrong's doping confession.

RELATED: Shelton Taps Sheryl For The Voice

"I think that honesty is always the best bet and that the truth will set you free," said Crow, who caught "bits and pieces" of her ex-fiance's interview with Oprah Winfrey. "To carry around a weight like that would be devastating in the long run."

Armstrong, 41, and Crow, 50, began dating in 2003 -- the same year that Armstrong divorced his wife of five years, Kristin -- and split in 2006.

Last year, a report from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency led to Armstrong's downfall. The shamed cyclist was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and, until now, vehemently maintained his innocence.

During a series of rapid-fire yes or no questions, the retired cyclist confirmed to Oprah last week that he had blood transfusions and used the banned substance erythropoietin (EPO) during his career -- particularly during all seven of his Tour de France victories. Although he expressed a desire to make things right with the people he may have hurt, Crow was never mentioned by name.

Michelle Obama on Inauguration President Barack Obama

RELATED: Actors Who've Played Presidents

Mrs. Obama debuted her shoulder-length bob with eye-level bangs via Twitter on her birthday, Thursday, January 17, and she told Rocsi that Dr. Jill Biden may have had an influence on her.

"I've been coveting [Dr. Biden's] bangs for four years," joked Mrs. Obama, quipping that they're "the bang sisters." She also revealed that husband President Barack Obama gave her a "beautiful necklace" as a recent birthday gift.

On the topic of Lance Armstrong's interview with Oprah in which he admits to doping, Mrs. Obama said, "I didn't even get a chance to see it. It's a sad situation for everyone who's watching ... I think we have to remember all the people that have been helped and who will continue to need the help of [The Livestrong Foundation]. We should focus on making sure that cancer survivors and people dealing with the disease have the kind of support, medical and research, that they need to deal with the situation. We can't lose sight of that accomplishment."

Rocsi will present at tonight's Kids' Inaugural, which marks the latest efforts by the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden's Joining Forces initiative to urge Americans to support our troops, and our Gold Star and Blue Star families.

The First Lady described the event in a video message, explaining that it's about "celebrating who we are as Americans and the people who make our country great -- our men and women in uniform, our military spouses, and our amazing military kids. So it's no surprise that when Jill and I decided to host this event, everyone wanted to join us -- from Katy Perry to Glee, from Nick Cannon to Usher. They know that military kids serve this country right alongside their moms and dads, and we’re really looking forward to celebrating our military families this weekend."
