Hollywood Crush ›

Welcome back to Crush Worthy, our weekly roundup of all the posts you paid the most attention to throughout the past seven days. Not surprisingly, this week, your mind was off of wizards and back on to vampires (and werewolves for that matter). With San Diego's Comic-Con kicking into full gear on Wednesday night, your taste for all things "Twilight" also did, too. Take a look at how the week looked:

- In the days before the "New Moon" rose at Comic-Con, you kept your blood pumping by learning that Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner would all be making appearances at the San Diego gathering. The rumors wound up to be (thank goodness!) true. Read more...

If you decide to drag your boyfriend out to "The Ugly Truth" this weekend and he uses the argument that it's just another chick flick, then you can just tell him that the film's male star, Gerard Butler, actually thinks this is more a guy's film than anything else.

He says that his character, Mike, a chauvinistic TV host, brings enough raunch to the table (and to Katherine Heigl's character's life) that the guys are sure to love his dirty advice on how to attract guys, which he says, "always touches on something that has an element of truth." Press play above to hear more what Mr. Butler has to say and keep reading more about his male-oriented opinions after the jump.

It was another Comic-Conpalooza in Twitterland today, with celebs like "Vampire Diaries" writer Kevin Williamson headed to the big event and "Iron Man 2" actress Olivia Munn bemoaning her barely there outfits. We are also happy to report that "Family Guy" creator Seth McFarlane took our advice and is finally going to find out what that "Twilight" thing is all about.

In other Twitter news, an actor fondly recalled his mullet, a comedian adopted a brood and an actress (Elizabeth Banks, pictured) inspired some heavy lifting.

In the 1980s, when hip-hop answer songs rose to popularity, a teenage New Yorker named Roxanne Shanté spit out the aggressive, foul-mouthed track, “Roxanne’s Revenge.” The single became a huge hit for Shanté and her fellow members in the Juice Crew, which went on to produce hits for the likes of Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie and Kool G Rap.

Keke Palmer wasn’t even born when all this went down during hip-hop’s golden age. But the “Akeelah and the Bee” star is hoping to get a shot to play Shanté in a Juice Crew biopic called “Vapors.” The only problem, as Keke told MTV News while promoting her new film, “Shrink,” is that the production is still trying to raise money to move the film into production.

Katherine Heigl was pretty uptight in "Knocked Up." And she's not any less uptight in her new flick, "The Ugly Truth." In the new rom com, opening today, she plays uber-uptight TV producer Abby, who finds herself challenged to find love by her chauvinistic on-air correspondent played by Gerard Butler. What a challenge, indeed! But according to Katherine herself she thinks she might be getting very uptight in real life thanks to her work in these flicks.

"Yes it was fun," she told MTV News at the junket for "The Ugly Truth." "Unfortunately, I think I'm starting to take a little bit of my roles with me in my real life cause I'm playing a lot of uptight control freak women lately and I'm becoming one. I'm really relating, but yeah it was really fun to play and her absolute cluelessness on how to approach men and how to win a guy over."

Yesterday, we published a post in which we noted that The UK's Daily Star had reported that “Transformers” star Megan Fox turned down the offer to play the role of a lifetime: The infamous Bond Girl. Apparently, the story was (as we were hoping) false! While at Comi-Con in San Diego promoting her latest films “Jennifer’s Body” and “Jonah Hex,” Megan spoke with EXTRA and cleared up the ridiculous rumor. "No one ever talked to me about doing that movie," she said. "I would never turn something like that down."

Thank goodness! It seems to us that the feisty Megan Fox was born to play such a role. Known for being adventuresome and quite scandalous, the Bond Girl is always a highly sought-after role for Hollywood actresses. Previous Bond Girls include Halle Berry, Eva Green, Michelle Yeoh and Jane Seynour. Every rumor has a little truth in it, though, right? So, maybe an offer is on its way towards Megan Fox.

What do you think? Should she should be the next Bond Girl?

Who knew Kristen Stewart was such a method actress? Because, really, what other explanation is there for the "New Moon" star showing up at Comic-Con looking like the spitting image of her "Runaways" alter ego Joan Jett?

Listen, we know Kristen is in the midst of filming the rock biopic and couldn't exactly de-mullet herself for the event. But what was stopping her from washing off the jet black eyeliner and putting on an outfit that doesn't scream "I rolled out of bed 3 minutes ago!"? Read more...

Last week we told you Lee Safar's ethereal tune "I'm Here" was being considered for the "New Moon" soundtrack. (Listen to the song on Lee's MySpace page). Well, now the Aussie artist has revealed exclusively to MTV that she has not one, but two songs (!!) in contention for a coveted spot on the album. We spoke with Lee about her second track, "Take Me Away," how she got involved with the "Twilight" franchise and whether she's prepared for all the attention she'll no doubt receive if either song lands on the album. Check out our full interview...

HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: How did you get involved with "New Moon"? Did they approach you, or did you approach them?

LEE SAFAR: How I came to find "Twilight" is a beautiful memory for me. Stu Henshall, a recent PR grad, and I had a chance meeting in London early this year. I gave him a copy of my debut EP "Who I've Become" to listen to. He went into his room and woke up the next morning, after having listened to my CD obsessively all night, he said, "I'm going to take you to see something today. Have you seen 'Twilight'?" I told him that I hadn't even heard of it but was intrigued. We went that day and saw the movie and I was immediately obsessed. Read more...

Let's all raise our cans of Tru Blood in a toast to Anna Paquin who celebrates her 27th birthday today!

It's been a bloody good year for the Canadian-born cutie. Though "True Blood" was unceremoniously snubbed from this year's Emmy nominations, Anna has plenty to celebrate. Not only does she have a pretty fangtastic boyfriend in costar Stephen Moyer, but their sultry series is the highest rated show on HBO since "The Sopranos." Read more...

Vanessa Hudgens is a superstar, and rightfully so, she recently got her own plush pad (she's only 20!). But, "Bandslam" star admits that she isn't tough enough to turn the TV off at night when she goes to sleep.

"It's weird living by myself," she tells Parade. "I thought I'd be the person who, every time I hear a little noise, would hide under my bed. But I've fallen in love with my home. When I'm in there, I feel safe. I don't think I've gotten scared once — knock on wood — in my house by myself. Then again, I do sleep with the TV on so that I don't hear all the little clinks and clanks at night!" Read more...
