Jessica Chastain's ?Take Shelter? Premiere Night in NYC

Enjoying a fun-filled evening, Jessica Chastain was spotted at the premiere of her new movie ?Take Shelter? in New York City last night (September 7).

Joined by costar Michael Shannon and director Jeff Nichols, the ?Tree of Life? hottie looked to be in good spirits, sporting a black and white printed dress as she posed outside of Landmark Sunshine Cinemas.

When asked about the film, Jessica told press she was very fortunate to land the gig, thanks to some Tinseltown networking.

?Sarah Green produces for Terrence Malick, and she was the executive producer on Take Shelter. She spoke to Jeff Nichols about me, because I had just done Tree of Life. She had read the script, and she thought, ?There?s this girl that no one really knows yet, but she might be really great to play Samantha in Take Shelter.? So I got sent Shotgun Stories, which I found to be brilliant. It was made for $53,000; it was Jeff Nichols?s first film. I was floored by it. Then I got sent the script for Take Shelter, and I thought, ?This is interesting.??

?I sat down with him, and he said something to me that made me want to be in every one of his films. He basically said, ?It?s a movie about family and marriage and faith. It?s not a movie about the end of the world, it?s not about mental illness, it?s not abut all those bells and whistles. The main idea of the film is faith. And there?s a look at the end of the film between Samantha and Curtis, and if the look isn?t right, then the whole film falls apart.? When he said that to me, I was very intrigued. And I think you can see that in the film; it?s not presented the typical way you might see a movie about mental illness or apocalyptic ideas. Jeff had his own language ? his own way of telling this story.?

Another year, another unbelievably action-packed Video Music Awards. As expected, viewers were treated to mind-blowing performances and several jaw-dropping surprises. The most unexpected moment came courtesy of Beyoncé Knowles, who not so subtly announced to the world that she and husband Jay-Z are expecting their first child.

When B unbuttoned her sparkly jacket and rubbed her belly with a knowing smile, after which the camera panned to a visibly elated Jay-Z and Kanye West cheering from the audience, the Nokia Theatre was bursting with warm and fuzzy well-wishes for the soon-to-be parents. And that very public moment of celebration was just the beginning.

When Beyoncé returned backstage to her dressing room, she was greeted by a team of people who enveloped the visibly happy star with hugs, cheers and congratulations.

"I'm free!" she said to one of the well-wishers, indicating that she and Jay are thrilled to not have to keep such a big secret any longer. "We're all free!" she said to the group.

A few minutes after her arrival backstage, she was joined by her husband, a very excited West (whose first words upon entering the dressing-room area were "Where is Beyoncé?" as if he could not wait to give B a huge hug) and her former Destiny's Child ladies, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Even with the doors to their dressing rooms closed, the applause and whoops of joy could be heard everywhere backstage.

"That was an eventful night, to say the least," Jay, still smiling, said to some of the revelers in the hallway, who continued to shower him with congratulations and hugs.

The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards have wrapped, but the real action is just getting started! Stick with MTV News for winners, fashion pics, video and behind-the-scenes stories about everything that went down. Visit VMA.MTV.com for the latest.

Reese, Jim, Ava, and Deacon Stay Cool With Frozen Treats

Reese Witherspoon was joined by her husband, Jim Toth, and kids, Ava and Deacon Phillippe, in LA today for a family trip to an afternoon treat. The foursome made an after-school pit stop at Pinkberry and then continued on their way. Looking quite dapper, Deacon stepped out in a fedora, vest, and tie, while Ava wore pearls and Reese carried her trusty Chloé bag. Reese, Jim, and the kids had an exciting Summer filled with beach vacations and shopping trips, and now with school back in session, it's back to hitting the books and hanging with loved ones close to home. Family is important to the actress, and in a recent interview with Marie Claire, Reese talked about Jim and the kids, saying, "I got lucky. I did. I got very lucky, and he's so wonderful with the children. I'm very blessed."
