Avert your eyes, Twi-hards. The nominations for the 31st Annual Razzie Awards were announced on Sunday night, and "Eclipse," the third installment of the "Twilight" saga, and M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" lead the pack with nine nods each.

"Eclipse" may have been the least critically panned film of the series thus far, but that wasn't enough to win over the folks at the Razzies. The movie picked up nine out of a possible 10 nominations, including Worst Picture, Worst Director (David Slade), Worst Screenplay and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel.

But the nominations bound to ruffle the most "Twilight" fan feathers are those concerning the beloved cast, including Razzie nods for Worst Actor for Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, both of whom also received mention for other work, in "Remember Me" and "Valentine's Day," respectively. Other acting nominations include Kristen Stewart for Worst Actress, Jackson Rathbone for Worst Supporting Actor for "Eclipse" and "The Last Airbender" and the entire cast for Worst Screen Ensemble.

While the "Twilight" parody "Vampires Suck" also snagged a few of the same nominations, including Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay, Razzies founder John Wilson argued that "Eclipse" was more of a comedy.

According to The Associated Press, Wilson explained, "I know people who are into 'Twilight' who take it totally seriously and they're very vociferous," adding, "Those of us who are not 'Twi-hards,' we don't get it. I don't actually know any teenage girls who have had to make the choice between a werewolf and a vampire."

Of course, Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" wasn't let off the hook either. The fantasy flick, based on an animated television series of the same name, earned a paltry seven percent rating on RottenTomates.com and an equally embarrassing nine Razzie nominations.

Those include Worst Picture, Worst Eye-Gouging Use of 3-D, Worst Director and Worst Screenplay for Shyamalan and Worst Supporting Actor for Rathbone and Dev Patel.

Rounding out the Worst Picture nominations are the action comedy "The Bounty Hunter" and the "Sex and the City" sequel, which also picked up nods for Worst Sequel, Worst Supporting Actress for Liza Minnelli's cameo, and Worst Screenplay and Director for Michael Patrick King. In addition, all four of the film's lead actresses are simultaneously up for Worst Actress and Worst Ensemble.

Plenty of fellow A-listers felt the wrath of the Razzies this year, and whether they'll be good sports and show up like last year's "winner" Sandra Bullock remains to be seen. "The Bounty Hunter" stars Jennifer Aniston (also nominated for her performance in the fertility mix-up comedy "The Switch") and Gerard Butler are both up for Razzies for their work in the summer flop. Jack Black received a nod for "Gulliver's Travels" and Miley Cyrus for "The Last Song."

Ashton Kutcher pulled off a double nomination for "Valentine's Day" and "Killers." Megan Fox is nominated twice for "Jonah Hex," in the categories of Worst Actress and, with Josh Brolin, Worst Screen Couple (which is listed as being for "Megan Fox's Accent and Josh Brolin's Face").

But it was Jessica Alba who pulled off the most bang for her buck, as her work in four flicks — "Little Fockers," "Valentine's Day," "The Killer Inside Me" and "Machete" — earned her a spot on the Worst Actress list.

The Razzies, which are chosen by roughly 600 voters, will be handed out on February 26, the night before the 2011 Academy Awards. Here's the entire list of the 2010 Razzie Award nominations:

George Clooney Has Malaria -- But Don't Worry!

George Clooney Has Malaria -- But Don't Worry!

George Clooney has it all: good looks, a successful career, and a mosquito-borne tropical disease. Wait, what? Yes, Clooney told Piers Morgan that he contracted malaria a couple weeks ago in Sudan. He seems oddly cheerful about it, though. Watch the clip below!

"I guess the mosquito in Juba looked at me and thought I was the bar," Clooney joked during the interview, which will air on Friday.

According to Morgan, this is actually Clooney's second bout with malaria, a tropical disease with flu-like symptoms. Malaria kills millions of people a year in third-world countries, but is easily treatable with a drug regimen.

"This illustrates how with proper medication, the most lethal condition in Africa can be reduced to a bad ten days instead of a death," says Clooney, whose rep describes him as "completely over" the disease.

The star of The American visited Sudan during the first week of January, as part of an international effort to prevent violence during the war torn nation's January 9 referendum. (The result of the referendum is that the southern part of Sudan has elected to become independent from the rest of the country.) There was great concern that President Bashir, an indicted war criminal, would incite a war between the northern and southern regions. Clooney has been working against violence in Sudan for over four years, and has met twice with President Obama to discuss United States involvement. (See a video about the actor's work in Sudan, below.)

Clooney obviously takes his humanitarian efforts seriously, but was good-natured when Morgan joked about his multiple bouts with malaria.

"You don't think President Bashir has detached a detail of sickly, vengeful mosquitos to target you whenever you arrive?" the CNN host asked.

"Yeah, I think so," responded Clooney.

Morgan later kidded Clooney via Twitter, saying, "Clooney malaria update: now have 24,563 offers to nurse him. But his rep says medication's worked and he's OK. Sorry, ladies." The interview airs Friday at 9pm on CNN.

Michael Jackson Doctor Conrad Murray Gets His Day In Court

Jackson's choreographer Kenny Ortega is expected to testify at the preliminary hearing in Los Angeles.

More than a year and a half after the shocking death of Michael Jackson, the only person charged in the singer's death, his personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray, will finally get his day in court.

Murray, who has been charged with one felony count of involuntary manslaughter, will be in a Los Angeles courtroom on Tuesday (January 4) for the first day of a preliminary hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence to hold a full trial. The hearing, in front of Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor, is expected to last two weeks and feature testimony from more than two dozen witnesses, most of whom are medical experts.

Prosecutors will attempt to show that Murray, who has pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter charge, was responsible for the singer's death from an overdose of prescription drugs on June 25, 2009. Murray's lawyers have said the doctor did inject the 50-year-old pop icon with the powerful surgical anesthetic propofol in an attempt to combat Jackson's chronic insomnia, but that the dose "should have" not been enough to kill him.

TMZ reported on Tuesday that one of the star witnesses during the preliminary hearing will be Jackson's "This is It" choreographer Kenny Ortega. Citing an unnamed source, TMZ said that Ortega is expected to testify that the week before Jackson died, the singer complained that he felt cold, had the shakes and could not perform, which resulted in a canceled rehearsal.

On the next day, June 20, 2009, an emergency meeting was reportedly called at Jackson's rented Los Angeles mansion between the pop star, Ortega, several executives from concert promotion giant AEG Live and Murray. The meeting was described as "intense, loud and argumentative" and Ortega is said to have laid into Jackson, imploring the singer to take better care of himself in the lead-up to what was intended to be his live swan song.

According to TMZ, Ortega is expected to testify that Murray said some "terrible things" during the meeting and displayed a lack of concern and respect for his patient, comments that could be "damaging" to Murray.

Last week, one of the prosecutors in the case claimed that Murray's lawyers were planning to claim that Jackson killed himself when he self-administered a lethal dose of propofol after waking up in a panic from a bout of fitful sleep.

Ortega is also reportedly set to testify that in the two days before his death, Jackson was a changed man, impressing his backup dancers with his upbeat singing and dancing. The testimony could be key to the prosecutors' case, since it could paint a portrait of Jackson as being healthy and energetic before Murray administered the cocktail of sedatives and propofol that allegedly resulted in the singer's death.
