Hollywood Crush ›

This week it feels like we are swimming in Kristen Stewart content: first with clips from our interview with her and Dakota Fanning about "The Runaways," today with new interviews and scenes from her upcoming "The Yellow Handkerchief," and later on, with some great new interview clips with her about her "stripper movie," "Welcome to the Rileys."

In regards to "The Yellow Handkerchief," Kristen explained during a set visit (press play above), "The movie is about three sort of lost loners, and so many people live their life like that and never find a reprieve or just like meet someone who's just like, 'It's okay,' you know? It's okay to be you. It's okay to just not be okay. It's okay to not be okay."

"The Vampire Diaries" star Steven R. McQueen is no stranger to acting. He comes from a family full of thespians — most famously, his namesake movie-star grandfather, Steve McQueen. But Steven told Hollywood Crush last week that he "fell into acting a little late." Seeing as he was 17 (about the same age as quite a few high school seniors) when he landed the recurring role of Kyle Hunter on The WB's "Everwood," it seems he might've gotten a bit of a head start. Naturally, the profession turned out to be a great fit. "Once I started doing it I knew it was something I would love," he said. "It just kind of became my passion. ...I've been blessed and pretty much worked ever since."

If the lucky genes weren't enough, Steven's worked with an impressive roster of acting heavyweights since 2005. "I've learned more and more on each show that I've done. I've been blessed and I've gotten to work with some very talented actors — James Gandolfini, Treat Williams. ...I've kind of always asked for advice and tried to take in as much as I could whenever working with them."

Well, there go our Wednesday nights....

Variety just announced that "Ugly Betty," which is currently in its fourth season, will wrap up for good this April.

The news came as a surprise to us this morning, although perhaps it shouldn't have. "Betty," which was initially one of television's "it" shows, was struggling big time in the ratings department. In fact, "Betty's viewership went from 8.3 million last year, to just 5.3 million this year. That's a pretty significant drop. Read more...

The winter months are prime romantic comedy time, and this year is proving no exception. Adding her entry into the rom-com running is former "Gilmore Girl" Alexis Bledel, with the New York City-set "The Good Guy." According to the movie's synopsis, Alexis plays Beth, a career girl set on living the good life. Things are going well once she meets Tommy, a "sexy, young Wall Street hot-shot," but "complications arise in the form of Tommy’s sensitive and handsome co-worker Daniel." Considering Tommy is played by "Friday Night Lights" quarterback Scott Porter and Daniel is played by former Hump Day Hottie Bryan Greenberg, all we have to say is: Lucky! If only we all were cursed with such boy troubles.

In our exclusive clip, Daniel arrives early for a date with Beth, whose sarcastic friends all think he must be gay — no one's that nice or early! Watch below, and keep an eye out for "My Girl" star Anna Chlumsky as one of Beth's friends.

Fun fact: "The Good Guy" costars Scott of "Friday Night Lights," and Alexis' last film, "Post Grad," costarred Scott's "FNL" costar (you follow?) Zach Gilford. All she's gotta do now is work with Taylor Kitsch to complete the hot dudes of "FNL" trifecta. Get your agent on that, Alexis.

Are you excited to see "The Good Guy"? Just because a guy is both nice and early for a date doesn't mean he's gay, right?

This year’s Sundance antics are not just being filmed and written about, they’re being documented old school style at MTV’s exclusive photo booth. Among the hoards of stars who have taken shots are Ben Affleck, Orlando Bloom, Malin Akerman — and now Katie Holmes and Elijah Wood can be added to that list.They were at the festival to promote their film “The Romantics,” which is about a group of friends from college reunited for a wedding.

The duo spoke to MTV News about their experience making the flick, and they both remembered how much fun they had between takes. "One lunch break," recalled Elijah, "instead of going to lunch, we decided to have a party at one of the holding houses. There was a little iPod dock, and we played very loud music and danced. And the girls were amazing."

Looks like the fun hasn’t ended. Katie and Elijah were all smiles in this shot of the pair in our photo booth! Want more self-portrait action? Click on the image above to be taken to the full Sundance flipbook!

For most of the women in America, getting a chance to do a steamy sex scene with Ryan Gosling would be a dream come true. When you had the opportunity to screen your film before hundreds of your peers, you'd relish the opportunity to rub in their face that you got naked with the male half of the best Valentine's Day movie ever: "The Notebook." But Michelle Williams, who got to live the dream in the Sundance film "Blue Valentine," did the exact opposite. In fact, she didn't even sit in on the Sundance screening.

"When the movie screened the other day, me and the kid [4-year-old daughter Matilda], neither of us were old enough to watch that movie," she said with a smile. "So we colored in Tinker Bell pictures for two hours and played pirate games."

VMAN magazine has managed to get five of the hottest guys in Hollywood together for its latest issue. The fashion mag rounded up "Vampire Diaries" star Paul Wesley, Liam Hemsworth from "The Last Song," "Glee" star Mark Salling, "90210" star Matt Lantner and "Melrose Place" babe Michael Rady.

When the guys weren’t mugging for the camera, they shared their experiences in Hollywood for VMAN's feature (the issue hits newsstands on January 28), "How to Audition for Your Dream Role."

Paul (pictured right) recalled some of his early auditioning memories, saying, "Once I finished a read, looked at the director, and said, 'That didn't go very well, did it?' He gave me a stern look, crossed his arms, and said, "No, it didn't.' I was devastated." We're happy to see he has since landed on his feet!

When the first trailer for "The Runaways" hit last month, it was a bit of a shock to see Dakota Fanning rocking out to "Cherry Bomb" in a corset and seven-inch platforms. Her role as Cherie Currie in the film has been heralded as the beloved child star's first role where she can be seen as an adult, and Dakota is loving every second of it.

MTV News' Josh Horowitz got a chance to sit down with her at Sundance and ask how she felt wearing clothes she had never worn in a film before. "I loved it," Dakota replied with a smile on her face. "I loved the wardrobe so much. I loved it every day. And I got to keep it all, so that's the best part."

If you've ever grazed past a shot of "White Collar" actor Matt Bomer in a magazine, on TV or on the Internet (maybe you saw him on Hollywood Crush?) and done a major double take, you're not alone. We, too, think he has an uncanny resemblance to a few other choice attractive actors, namely "Vampire Diaries" bad boy Ian Somerhalder and "Smallville" star Tom Welling.

So, when Matt came into the MTV News offices to chat about the return of his USA series, we just couldn't let him leave without asking him the real question on all of our minds: Are the three of you guys really not related? Just look at those pictures above — it's hard to tell the difference, right? After the jump, check out what Matt had to say about our family tree inquisition!
