The 2010 Hot List: Nicki Minaj, 'Jackass 3D,' Elle Fanning and More

The Social Network, written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by David Fincher, tells the tale of Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg's ruthless battle to keep control of the billion-dollar business he started in his Harvard dorm. Based in part on depositions in lawsuits filed against Zuckerberg and Facebook, the film draws much of its dark humor from a central irony: The awkward guy who changed our definition of ?friend? never seemed to grasp the word's original meaning.
