When Fun. are joined by Janelle Monáe on the stage at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards tonight to perform their inescapable hit song "We Are Young," fans will be treated to a set that has lots of red.

While no one really knows what that means until show day, the look seems reminiscent of another inescapable pop-culture phenomenon "Fifty Shades of Grey." So when MTV News caught up with the guys at rehearsals for tonight's show, we wanted to know if the erotic book trilogy had any influence over the look of the performance.

"Let's just say 'yes,' " lead singer Nate Ruess laughed, even though the books clearly had nothing to do with their performance.

Guitarist Jack Antonoff added that there was another pop-culture influence. "That and the Billy Joel song 'Shades of Grey,' " he teased. "Those two things together."

Multi-instrumentalist Andrew Dost kept the joke going: "It's inspired by 'The Shining,' " he said. "Red room, red room."

All joking aside, the guys are ready to introduce their live theatrics to an audience that largely knows them from their radio mega-hit "We Are Young." "Anyone who just heard it on the radio and hasn't seen us play it, that's the only goal is to just physically perform it the way it's meant to be interpreted," Antonoff said. "Which is pretty dramatic."

Tonight's performance is just another feather in Fun.'s cap. It's been a huge year for the guys, thanks to the power of "We Are Young," which seemed to take over the world this year. "I think that it's gonna be really exciting. This is kind of like a snowball effect," Ruess said. "And the snowball is very large at this point."

"It's a piece of all that craziness, that's for sure," Antonoff continued. "I think you can say the Movie Awards are a real good extension of what it's been like, just a lot of really crazy stuff and then you put it all together and it makes that whole wild experience."

Want to know what happens when Fun. take the stage tonight? You'll tune have to tune in to the MTV Movie Awards, hosted by Russell Brand and also featuring performances from the Black Keys, Martin Solveig and Wiz Khalifa. It all goes down at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California, at 9 p.m. ET/PT tonight.

'Project X' Star Oliver Cooper: How To Be A Dirtbag

MTV Movie Awards Best On-Screen Dirtbag nominee says dirtbags 'have to kick kittens.'

UNIVERSAL CITY, California — "Project X" star Oliver Cooper is no stranger to being a dirtbag. No, not in his real life — just on the big screen. In the Todd Philips-produced flick, Cooper takes on the role of Costa, who manages to burn down a neighborhood, betray all of his friends, steal from a drug dealer and even put someone in an oven.

Yet, some good came out of portraying such a terrible character: The role earned Cooper two MTV Movie Awards nominations, including one for the inaugural Best On-Screen Dirtbag award.

Cooper is thrilled to be nominated for the award, going so far as to actively campaign for fan votes to ensure his victory in winning the Golden Popcorn.

When MTV News caught up with Cooper earlier this week outside the Gibson Amphitheatre, home of the Movie Awards, we were curious to find out just what it takes to be the ultimate dirtbag. Not surprisingly, Cooper had all the answers.

How to be a Dirtbag:

1. Have No Regard for Your Friends
The first rule to being a dirtbag is to completely disregard your friends' feelings. If you need some guidance, pay close attention to Cooper's character in "Project X."

2. Dislike Animals — Especially Kittens
Yes, this sounds insane. How can anyone really hate kittens? Well, if you're a dirtbag, you probably do. "Hate animals," Cooper said. "You have to kick kittens when you see them, steal their food when they're not looking."

3. Don't Have Kids
According to Cooper, dirtbags "never want to have kids." We really aren't sure why, but we think if you're a dirtbag, you might understand.

Find out whether Cooper wins the award for Best On-Screen Dirtbag and Best Comedic Performance tonight at 9 p.m. ET.
