We’ve seen the "Glee" kids sing a lot of modern-day classics. Yet despite so many memorable renditions, the world of iconic music videos remains a largely untapped resource for Ryan Murphy’s hit show. What can we expect for the rest of this season after Sue Sylvester’s spin on Madonna’s “Vogue”? After last week, the doors are flying open. And in order to inspire “Glee” to continue making use of unforgettable music video moments, we compiled a list of music videos tailored for each cast member.

I don’t have to remind most dedicated “Gleeks” that the Madonna episode — aptly titled “The Power of Madonna” — airs tonight at 9pm (we even got Chris Colfer to give us a sneak peek!). Will Kurt and Mercedes, who provided Sue with memorable backing vocals last episode, have their own moment to shine? Dare I ask: Will each cast member reincarnate Madonna? And if so, who will break out as the most convincing material girl? Stop biting your nails in anticipation and hold yourself over with our fusion of “Glee” performers and music video glory... starting with a few 'N SYNC and Britney nods!

Everyone can put down the pitch-forks and torches! In Kim Kardashian’s blog, she is addressing claims that she is abusive to animals. If you’re wondering where these allegations are coming from, then you probably haven’t been on Kim’s Twitter page lately.

On April 18, Kim tweeted, “Pic from my shoot yesterday...good kitty cat!” with a link to a twitpic of her all dolled up and holding a black kitten by the skin of its neck, similarly to how a mother cat would. A seemingly innocent enough photo to Kardashian, but not to many of her followers, who didn’t hold back in their distaste for it.

Who says a “High School Musical” actress can’t go from playing a squeaky clean teenybopper to an HIV-positive stripper named Mimi behind on her rent? When Vanessa Hudgens sat down with MTV News to confirm her next collaboration with “Beastly” costar Neil Patrick Harris, she spilled on the pair’s newfound friendship and their plans to reinvent “Rent” for the Hollywood Bowl in August.

“I’m so excited,” the 21-year-old said of her involvement in the NPH-directed rendition of the rock opera favorite. “I haven’t done theater in years upon years, and that is my house.”

The deserts of the Middle East are dry, sweltering, full of camels... and apparently, very luxurious! New stills from "Sex and the City 2" were released last week and we couldn't help but notice — there is a whole lot of decadence going on in Abu Dhabi. We're loving the strategically placed heels in the photo below, but more than that, we're fascinated by the guy behind the girls who just seems to be waiting on them hand and foot.

Other new stills include Samantha (Kim Catrall) relaxing in a chic Oriental-inspired room, our gals venturing through the open desert (in even more fabulous clothes) and more! Click on the photo below to see them all.

By now, you should be used to the weekly twists on "The Vampire Diaries." But one of the most unexpected plot surprises happened a couple of months ago when the sweet, new homeschooled girl in Mystic Falls, Anna, turned out to be a several-hundred-year-old vampire. If you were shocked at that reveal, you're not alone — the actress who plays Anna, Malese Jow, was pretty awestruck too.

Malese recalled to Hollywood Crush that when she auditioned for the part, all she had to go on was a short description that said Anna was supposed to be a shy and geeky girl. "There was really nothing in there that made me think that she was going to be a vampire," Malese said. "Once I got to the producer session, they said, 'Can you read it a little more menacing?' and I was like 'Huh, ok.' I didn't know that she was going to be a vampire until the day I got on set they were like, 'You're going to be fitted for contacts.'"

Though "Kick-Ass" has been both a critical and box office success in its first weekend, there seems to be some reservations about the idea of 13-year-old Chloe Moretz playing an 11-year-old cold-hearted superhero prodigy that racks up a body count higher than any other character in the film.

Chloe is one in a long line of young actresses cast in psychologically demanding roles. Since her mom gave her the OK to play Hit-Girl, we're sure Chloe will turn out just fine, but some actresses are still marked by those early roles now that they're adults.

Check out our look back at those starlets after the jump!

As the eagerly anticipated all-Madonna episode of “Glee” finally debuts tonight, we’re still obsessing over Sue Sylvester’s version of “Vogue," which premiered after last week’s episode.

The scene, which is further explained tonight (let’s just say it all stems from Sue’s jealousy of Mr. Schuester’s luxurious hair), was also a highlight for Chris Colfer, who cites “Vogue” and “Hung Up” as his all-time favorite Madge songs.

When fans head out to buy their DVD copies of "It’s Complicated" on April 27, they will undoubtedly get a crush all over again on one of the film's younger stars, "Weeds" actor Hunter Parrish.

Now, two of Hunter's "It's Complicated" co-stars, none other than Oscar-winner Meryl Streep and "The Office" star John Krasinski, are singing Hunter's praises in our exclusive featurette from the DVD.

Men and women think in different ways. It's a scientifically proven fact. And it's one of the many reasons romantic comedies are so much fun, and such a big money maker. Yes, it's starting to seem like they're all coming out of the Generic RomCom Production Machine From Hell (run by CEOs Katherine Heigl and Matthew McConaughey) but still, there's something about seeing men and woman go back and forth at each other's throats before falling madly in love that keeps us coming back for more.

Which is why we think it's a brilliant idea that yesterday Summit announced it acquired film and television rights to the "Men Are From Mars, Woman Are From Venus" franchise. Based on the book series written by John Gray, the franchise assesses relationship and marital problems that stem from gender differences. This is the perfect formula for an ensemble romcom, which we have already addressed our love for.

Mondays are always a bit of a drag, unless, of course, you're spending it on-set with the likes of Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz. That's exactly how Eric Stonestreet fought off a case of the Mondays, on the set of their upcoming comedy "Bad Teacher," posting, "1st day baby!! http://tweetphoto.com/19102361" Eric's "Modern Family" costar Jesse Tyler Ferguson had him send along a special message for Justin, tweeting, "Have fun & tell Justin Timberlake 2 call me. I will not be ignored."

Goldie Hawn had a message to convey on Twitter today, but this one was for her daughter Kate Hudson (both pictured). Goldie wished Kate (a non-tweeter) a happy 31st, posting, "Today is my blessed daughters birthday! 31 proud mama!" and followed up with, "no twitter yet but will pass on your love and congrats!"

Check out the rest of today's best tweets, including Aziz Ansari's big announcement and Russell Brand's achievement in Boston. Follow us @hollywoodcrush to get even more celebrity and pop culture news around the clock!
