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.

Sandra Bullock put her "All About Steve", costar Bradley Cooper in the hot seat at the Hollywood Awards yesterday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, when, according to Entertainment Tonight, she grilled him on camera about his current love interests.

The "Miss Congeniality," star stole the mic from "ET" host Mary Hart, before turning her attention toward Bradley. "So, Bradley ... Who are you seeing? Who are you hanging out with these days?" Bradley, who, in just the last year, has been linked to stars Denise Richards, Jennifer Aniston and, most recently, Renee Zellweger, slyly averted the question with a laugh and an F-bomb. Well played Coops.

Last week we heard from Kristin Hager, who plays Sophie on MTV's newest Tuesday night series, "Valemont." This week, Hollywood Crush caught up with another coed, Eric Balfour, who plays Sophie's older brother (uh, also named Eric) on the supernatural drama. Eric called us from his Texas hotel room, where he's staying while shooting a western, to give us the scoop on his "Valemont" character, dealing with a new model of television, and what to expect in upcoming episodes.

As "Valemont" followers will know, Sophie is using Eric's cell phone, which is full of mysterious videos and text messages, to figure out the circumstances behind his mysterious death. Eric the actor described Eric the character as "a guy who is sort of always been in and out of trouble. When the opportunity arises to go to Valemont University and maybe discover some of the truth behind his own family's legacy and maybe his own family horror, he goes for it. I don't want to say too much!"

If your Halloween plans include a costume and fun-sized Reese's Peanut Butter Cups instead of warming the seats at Citizens Bank Park for Game 3 of the World Series, you'll be missing a sure-to-be stellar performance from the cast of FOX's musical series "Glee." But not to fret, Gleeks. You'll have another opportunity to catch Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison), Rachel (Lea Michele), Finn (Cory Monteith), and the rest of New Directions in the flesh, even sooner than next year's reported tour.

In celebration of the November 3 release of the album "Glee: The Music, Volume 1," the cast will embark on a signing tour with stops in Los Angeles and the New York area beginning November 2, reports BroadwayWorld.com. (see the full schedule here) The first 400 people to purchase the soundtrack at the listed locations and times will receive a wristband entitling them to a CD signing session with the cast. You'll be "Walkin' on Sunshine" for sure!

A "Gossip Girl," a vampire and a cheerleader walk into a college dormitory... no, this isn't the set-up for a gut-busting joke (though I do have plenty of those if you want to meet up later). Nope, it's the synopsis for the upcoming uber-creepy thriller "The Roommate." Starring Leighton Meester, "Twilight" actor Cam Gigandet, pop star Aly Michalka and "Friday Night Lights" star Minka Kelly, the 2010 flick is a modern take on the 1992 Bridget Fonda/ Jennifer Jason Leigh hit "Single White Female." When we caught up with Leighton and Minka, who seriously look like they could be twins, on set recently, they were more than happy to spill all the gory details.

"The movie is about Sarah — Minka Kelly's character — who comes into college; it's her first day, and she comes to the dorms and she meets me, her roommate Rebecca," explained Leighton. "We develop a friendship, and then it goes south and Rebecca starts to develop an unhealthy fixation on Sarah, and tries to merge with her and become very, very involved in her life."

There are so many choices when it comes to picking out a Halloween costume that it’s almost impossible to decide. Should your dress original or classic? Do you want to be wild or conservative? Well this year, you have a little help from a few of your fave celebrities. From glammin’ it up as Barbie to roughing it as Chewbacca for a night, three leading ladies shared their most memorable costumes with MTV News!

Taylor Swift, who recently “dressed up” as character Samantha Kenny and kissed Taylor Lautner in “Valentine’s Day” (don’t worry, we're jealous!), celebrated Halloween last year by dressing up with her friend as “twin Chewbaccas.” Now that's an original costume you don't see worn by a girly girl too often.

Lindsay Lohan is a mess. This is something anyone who has some contact with entertainment media has known for years. In light of her most recent fiasco at Paris Fashion Week, UK newspaper The Sunday Times' Style magazine decided to write what seems to be an expose on just exactly how screwed up the life of Lindsay is.

"The first thing you notice is how tiny she is, then what a large bosom she has," The Times notes. "Her pale skin has been sprayed the colour of a ginger-snap biscuit and the lines etched into her freckled forehead make her look at least 10 years older than she is. She orders an iced water in a voice honed by too many cigarettes and a lifetime of late nights."

Scarlett Johansson has had plenty of experience being romanced by older men (and I'm not just talking about hot older hubby Ryan Reynolds). She was wined and dined by Bill Murray in "Lost in Translation." Lovingly rendered in paint by the artist Vermeer in "Girl With the Pearl Earring." And the girlfriend of her father's boss in "In Good Company." But when Scarlett makes her Broadway debut later this season, she'll be the object of a very different suitor's affection, reports Variety.

In the Arthur Miller play "A View From the Bridge," Scarlett will play an orphaned 17-year-old whose longshoreman uncle, played by "Wolverine" actor Liev Schreiber, becomes romantically obsessed with her. Kinda creepy sounding, right? And is it just me, or does the almost-25-year-old seem a tad old for this role? I know it's nothing new (especially for teen dramas on The CW), to cast adults in much younger roles, but even this seems like a stretch. Sure, makeup, costuming and, of course, good acting will all help Scarlett read younger, but with her husky voice and ample, uh, assets, I'm having a hard time imagining the bizarro world in which Scarlett could ever pass for teen.

Taylor Lautner already has girls drooling over his beefy new body. But, the one person it makes feel uncomfortable, besides Kristin Davis, is Taylor himself. He hasn't been shy about showing off his muscles, but recently he's been pretty shy when it comes to talking about it, especially with everyone wanting to know about it in the weeks leading up to the release of "New Moon."

"I worked hard to get in shape for this role," Taylor said, reports Aceshowbiz.com. "My motivation was the movie and the fans, but I don't want to become known as just a body. If I had to choose, I would never take my shirt off again in a movie, but I guess that's not very realistic. I certainly won't be asking to do it, though."

Twitter is always full of advice (twidvice?) and factoids, some of which are more helpful than others. Whether you're pondering if "Paranormal Activity" is worth the money or trying to figure out the best way to get gum out of your hair, it seems everyone has an answer or opinion about it, even your favorite celebs. Today we got some fun facts from Nelly Furtado informed us that "lighting candle while chopping onions reduces the "teary-eye" factor. Working so far!!!!!" And Kat DeLuna let us know, "U want bad vibes not to come into your home and for all the bad energies to leave? go buy a pepper plant! any color any size, It works!" Thanks for the twips, ladies!

We don't have any trivia for Kelly Osbourne, but we will wish her an early Happy Birthday! The star of "Dancing with the Stars" and "The Osbournes" will turn 25 tomorrow, but is already celebrating tonight.
She tweeted, "you guys i feel like i am 10 years old i am so excited for my party tonight!" Musician Sia wrote to her friend, "happy birthday bumbum." We're guessing/hoping that's a term of endearment, but either way, Happy Birthday, Kelly!
