While you count down the hours until the next episode of tonight's "Glee," the cast seems pretty darn excited about Drew Barrymore's "Whip It." Dianna Argon (pictured), who plays mean cheerleader Quinn, and Chris Colfer, who plays lovable outcast Kurt (and who didn't adore that "Single Ladies" dance on the football field), both took to their Twitter to rave about the the Ellen Page roller derby flick, out this Friday. Dianna wrote, "Whip it. Whip it real good" and Chris posted, "Everyone see Whip It! It's a great movie! Made me want to slab some knee pads on and get into a fight! :)" We'll be sure to steer clear!
Of course, "Whip It" isn't the only thing putting Hollywood into a frenzy right now. The video of Hugh Jackman taking on a talkative theatergoer is making its rounds on the web and even celebs are weighing in. Funnyman Stephen Colbert joked via his Twitter, "hey hugh jackman, thanks for interrupting my awesome ringtone with your boring play"
See what else was buzzing around the Twitterverse today, from Benji Madden's creepy dream to Kevin Williamson's "Scream"-ing good upcoming project. Don't forget you can always follow us 24/7 @hollywoodcrush for all the latest news and updates.

Landon Pigg will certainly make girls swoon when they head out to the cineplex this week to check out the Ellen Page/Drew Barrymore flick, "Whip It." We have no doubt that Landon's shaggy rocker hair and laid back attitude will leave girls wanting more. So, we've decided to grant your future wish and make him this week's Hump Day Hottie.
Press play on the video below to see more of Landon and his unique style, then keep reading for more juicy details about him.
Vital Stats: The 26-year-old singer-songwriter-actor grew up in both Nashville and Chicago where his mom and his dad allowed him the room to explore his artistic tendencies. In fact, his dad worked in music studios during Landon's childhood. When he found out he earned HDH status with us, he shared: "You know when I hear things like that that I've really known I made it. It's just like yeah sure I record music sure I was in a film all that pales in comparison to HDH. And you can quote me on that. It's such an honor. And I'll write my acceptance speech."

FROM SPLASH PAGE: One thing I’ve noticed over the course of my life is that chicks dig dudes on motorcycles; one thing I’ve noticed over the last year or so is that chicks also dig Cam Gigandet. So, if the team behind the currently-shooting “Priest” adaptation are concerned about attracting the female demographic, some info I got recently from Cam makes me think they have no need to worry.
“Right now I’m shooting a movie with Paul Bettany that’s called ‘Priest,’ which is going to be an unbelievable film,” he explained when he stopped by the MTV studio last week. “The sets are just unbelievable—and we ride around on motorcycles.”

Drew Barrymore and her "Whip It" gang dumped the skates and ditched the elbow pads for the premiere of their coming-of-age roller-derby flick last night in L.A. (That isn't to say there weren't a few Hurl Scout-clad gals rolling around the red carpet at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Nice touch, Miss Barrymore.)
Drew captured a bit of her alter ego's rocker chick vibe (Smashley Simpson would be proud!) in her form-fitting L'Wren Scott dress, accented nicely by red peep-toe pumps. It's not surprising the 34-year-old Hollywood vet's directorial debut brought out some big hitters, including her godfather and "E.T." director Steven Spielberg.

Disney's returning to its royal roots this holiday season with its latest fairy tale foray "The Princess and the Frog." Set in the jazzy world of New Orleans, "Princess" follows Bayou-bred Tiana, voiced by "Dreamgirls" actress Anika Noni Rose. On a sparkly, star-lit night, Princess Tiana stumbles upon a frog on her balcony, who—gasp!—can talk. The green guy tells Tiana that he is really Prince Naveen (voiced by Bruno Campos), who has been transformed into a frog.
Remembering the "Frog Prince" tale from his childhood, Naveen begs Tiana to gift him with a kiss to return him to his princely glory. But the peck doesn't go as either expect. Click play on the clip below to see the full smoochy scene.
"The Princess and the Frog," also featuring the voices of Terrence Howard, John Goodman and Oprah Winfrey, hits theaters December 11.
Are you excited to see Disney's latest princess tale?

Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
The snapshots below serve as proof that not all celebutantes magically look perfect 24/7 — some of them actually have to work for it. "The City" starlet Whitney Port took time away from the East Coast to get in some pampering at a Beverly Hills Nail Salon and Anastasia Brow Studio in L.A. yesterday. We're betting she got to see an early tape of the season premiere of 'City' and needed time to cool off after that catfight between Olivia Palmero and Elle publicist Erin. Who can blame her?
Click on the photo above see Whitney in full beauty mode and see who we spotted over in Whit's new hometown of Manhattan, after the jump!

It's been a good week for Lauren Conrad. Not only did she launch her new Kohls clothing line, but she also got her first novel, "L.A. Candy," picked up by the executive producers of none other than "Twilight."
It was Lauren who approached production company Temple Hill Entertainment partners, Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey (the same duo who are bringing the novel "Wings" to life on the big screen), to make the film. "Lauren, who became an icon in that reality show world, came to us with a structure of how to tell the story in an interesting fashion that was separate and apart from the book," Marty said in an interview with Variety.

Every dog will have his day or in this case, wolf. With some heartbreak in store for our favorite man-transforming-to-wolf hero in the upcoming "New Moon,"were glad that Unique Features decided it was time for a morphing wolf-teen to get his own love story.
Step in "Shiver," the first book in a supernatural romance series by Maggie Stiefvater, which debuted in August and has been on the bestseller lists ever since. The novel tells the tale of a girl, Grace, whose life is saved by a wolf when she was young. Years later, she comes across an injured boy who she realizes is the same wolf who saved her, and a love develops. The boy, Sam, will change back to a wolf in the winter, however, and thus they must figure out how to make their relationship work.

If the unfashionably early demise of The CW series "The Beautiful Life: TBL" left you with a closet full of questions—Who's the father of Sonja's (Mischa Barton) baby? Is Raina's (Sara Paxton) brother sleeping with the fishes?—you're not alone. Just a few days ago we pondered these same (seemingly unanswerable) questions. But we needed a little closure, so Hollywood Crush caught up with a member of the model drama's production staff who spilled major details about the series including what we would have seen in upcoming episodes (hint: sex, lies and murder!).
As was earlier reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the cast and crew were in the middle of filming the seventh episode when news broke last Friday that the show would be canceled. (Ironically they were ahead of production compared to other CW shows, even though they started two weeks late). Even more surprisingly, they didn't hear the news first from CW brass. Nope, they heard it like the rest of us—through the media! According to our insider, the news was leaked to THR 10 minutes before executives informed producers the series was dunzo. Our source also added that a script for the eighth episode was finished and scripts for the ninth and tenth episodes were in various stages of completion.

Megan Fox is at it again. In just the last year, the young actress and cover-girl has admitted to cutting herself in Rolling Stone, shared how to pick up guys in Cosmo and discussed her "provocative nature" with Entertainment Weekly.
Now, she's telling Nylon why she feels overexposed after "Transformers" and completely exposed in "Jennifer's Body."
Megan, who was recently boycotted (for like one whole day) by some men's sites, claims the media blitz for "Transformers" caused her to over-extend her welcome in the spotlight. "I was part of a movie that [the studio] wanted to make sure would make $700 million, so they oversaturated the media with their stars," says Megan, about the movie, which for better or worse, made her a household name.
