Attention "Thor" fans! By the good graces of otherworldly Asgard, Paramount Pictures has gifted MTV News with an exclusive new clip from the upcoming and highly anticipated "Thor."

For those who've been watching and re-watching the trailers, the featured scene will be slightly familiar. The clip opens with Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), Professor Andrews (Stellan Skarsgård) and Darcy (Kat Dennings) rushing to the aid of recently banished/crash-landed Thor (Chris Hemsworth).

"Get the first aid kit!" Foster yells, as she runs to the side of the fallen God of Thunder. "Do me a favor, and don't be dead," she says to him.

"Whoa, does he need CPR?" Darcy asks after seeing Thor's chiseled face. "Because I totally know CPR."

"Where did he come from?" Foster wonders aloud. Thor then grunts as he stands up too quickly, still shaken from his fall. He starts to call out for his lost weapon: "Hammer? Hammer?"

"Yeah, we can tell you're hammered," Darcy quips while watching him stumble around the clearing. "It's pretty obvious."

"Oh my God! Eric, look at this!" Foster exclaims suddenly, pointing to the unique, circular pattern formed in the dirt surrounding the area where they found Thor. "We have to move quickly before this all changes."

"Jane, we have to take him to the hospital," Andrews says, while Thor calls out to his father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins), in the background.

"He's fine, look at him," Foster says to Andrews, still crouching at the ground, trying to examine the pattern in the soil.

After receiving no response from his father, Thor starts to get more lucid, haughtily demanding answers about where he is: "What realm is this?" he demands.

"New Mexico," Darcy answers, her flashlight and taser gun pointed right at him.

"You dare threaten me?" Thor warns. "With so puny an..."

Darcy then shoots a taser into him, making him fall back to the ground, much to the astonishment and disbelief of Foster and Andrews.

"What?" Darcy asks innocently, as if her use of the taser was perfectly logical. "He was freaking me out!"

Michael Jackson Doctor Conrad Murray's Trial To Be Televised

Judge rules that camera will be allowed in the courtroom for manslaughter case.

For what promises to be one of the most bizarre and riveting legal proceedings in years, a Los Angeles judge ruled on Monday that a television camera will be allowed in the courtroom when Michael Jackson's doctor goes on trial for involuntary manslaughter.

Reuters reported that Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor, approved the presence of a camera in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray as long as it does not interfere with the proceedings in the closely watched case.

The judge asked for the "absolute least-intrusive placement" of a TV camera in the courtroom, but blocked cameras from documenting jury selection.

Pastor also announced that he would bump up the opening date of the trail by four days to March 24, at which point jury selection will begin. Murray, who faces up to four years in prison if convicted, has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and the trial is expected to last around six weeks.

Cardiologist Murray was hired to be Jackson's personal physician in the run-up to the King of Pop's planned 50-date comeback series of shows at London's O2 arena in the summer of 2009. The doctor told police that he provided Jackson, 50, with sedatives and the surgical anesthetic propofol in order to combat the singer's chronic insomnia. He said he did so on the morning of June 25, 2009, when Jackson died of what a coroner deemed acute propofol poisoning.

TMZ reported on Tuesday (February 8) that Murray's lawyers plan to argue that Jackson was already in weak health before he died and that it's unfair to blame propofol for his passing. Unnamed sources close to the case told the gossip site that at the time of his death, Jackson's body was already failing him in part because concert promoter AEG Live had "driven [him] over the edge" with a rigorous rehearsal schedule for the shows.

Murray's lawyers reportedly plan to call witnesses to say that Jackson was not showing up for rehearsals and when he did he showed "clear signs" of frail health. They also reportedly plan to argue that it was Jackson who administered the final, fatal dose of propofol to himself while Murray was out of the room.

Katy Perry Praises Beyonce In Elle

'I think diva is a great and powerful word in the sense of what Beyoncé makes it,' the pop star says in the magazine's cover story.

Katy Perry not only glams up for the new issue of Elle, but she also gets real. The singer — who is gearing up for a big performance on this Sunday's Grammy Awards — dishes on diva behavior, discusses her personal life and even reveals how much she weighs in the fashion magazine's latest cover story.

"I feel like I'm at a point in my life right now where I could potentially stick around," Perry says about her outlook on being a pop star. "I don't feel like a diva, but I think diva is a great and powerful word in the sense of what Beyoncé makes it. And maybe I can't be Beyoncé, but maybe I can be Cyndi Lauper. I mean be like her, not be her. That would just be weird."

The singer also admits to having some ambitions outside of the entertainment world. "I think some people will die on the stage, and I'm not so sure I want to do that. Like, I want to have kids!" she explains. "I'm totally fine with saying that. I think some people are scared because they're worried it's going to ruin their career, but I want to live a full life."

That full life, these days, includes her hubby, Russell Brand, who she says is her perfect better half. "Everything clicked really fast. We kind of instantly got past all the surfacey stuff. And ever since then, there hasn't been a dull moment," she says. "We both needed balance, and we give that to each other. It wasn't about me taming him, which is what everyone always says — it was about timing."

Perry doesn't hold back at all, revealing details about her weight that very few celebrities seem willing to share with the world. "I was shaped like a square at one time. I was! I'm generally around 130 pounds, which is totally fine for me," she confesses. "But when I was a kid, I was the same height and weighed more like 145. And I had enormous boobs that I didn't know what to do with, so I wore minimizers, which were not cute. Those thick-ass straps! I got made fun of for the over-the-shoulder boulder holder ... and all I wanted was to look like Kate Moss. Little did I know ... that these things would come in handy someday."
