Who at one point or another hasn't wanted to be a spy? Well, luckily for TV mainstay Christopher Gorham he gets to play one week after week on his hit CIA TV show,"Covert Affairs." And as stealthy as he might be on the show, we're shining the spotlight on him as this week's Hump Day Hottie.

Vital Stats: This Cali native studied film & theater arts at UCLA where he also participated in a number of sports including martial arts, stage combat, fencing, rollerblading and ballroom dancing before finding fame and love (he's married to former "Popular" co-star Anel Lopez Gorham, who he has 3 kids with) in Hollywood. Plus, he doesn't mind being this week's Hump Day Hottie. "Wow! Thank you! I'm honored. I very much appreciate it!" he said. "Do I have like duties? Is there like a crown? What does it involve?"

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have sang their "Last Song," so to speak. Gossip Cop is reporting that the pair, who met and fell in love in 2009 on the set of the Nicholas Sparks film, have split.

GC spoke to a source close to Liam who said the pair called it quits "pretty recently," adding that Liam is completely "single" and ready to mingle (OK, we added that mingle part). No reason was given for the breakup. When reached for comment, Miley's rep said, "We're not commenting on Miley's personal life." Liam's rep confirmed to RadarOnline that the pair have indeed split.

If you were worried this fangtastic vampire fad was going to meet an eternal death soon, well, that doesn't seem likely, according to a report done by The Hollywood Reporter (and anyone hoping to make money in Tinseltown right now). According to THR's calculations, the vampire phenomenon has generated over $7 billion since "Twilight" first hit theaters in 2008. That is less than two years.

What has helped make vampires so successful is not just the love affair between Edward and Bella, though that's definitely part of it. Stephenie Meyer made vampires more romantic and less scary and made millions because of it. That started a trend that moved from books to films to television, selling music and merchandise along the way, and has paid off wonderfully for all of those involved. And the world just seems to be begging for more, more, more.

Don't believe us? Click after the jump to see the breakdown of how much money vampires have made across these different media.

Hopefully by now you've seen the trailer for Danny Boyle's latest film, "127 Hours." In case you hadn't guessed it, we're pretty excited for this movie, and it mostly has to do with the fact James Franco is starring in it and Danny Boyle ("Slumdog Millionaire" and "28 Days Later") is directing it.

Typically "127 Hours" wouldn't be the type of film we'd follow here on Hollywood Crush, but in this case we're making an exception. The film is based on the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston, and we have a feeling the way that he is portrayed by James Franco is going to make the character in the film very, very crush-worthy. So if you haven't watched the trailer yet, stop whatever you're doing, watch the clip after the jump and join us for a chat.

Unlike his alter ego Eric Northman, "True Blood" star Alexander Skarsgård does, in fact, age. The hunky actor turns 34 today, and while we'd prefer to celebrate by taking him to a fancy dinner at the Red Lobster and sharing a romantic bubble bath, well, that's just not in the cards for this year. So instead, we will honor the auspicious day of Mr. Skarsgård's birth by counting the ways (34 in all!) that we love, adore and admire him. And if you're reading this, Alex, our offer of suds and seafood still stands if you don't have other plans.

Two new faces are joining the cast of "Scream 4," if only to make their celebrity cameos and then probably be killed off. USA Today announced today that Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell have signed on to play roles in the upcoming installment of the "Scream" franchise.

They'll join franchise regulars Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courtney Cox Arquette, in addition to newcomers Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Lake Bell, Adam Brody, Allison Brie and Mary McDonnell.

We've been talking a lot over the past week about Rosalie's developing relationship with Bella in "Breaking Dawn" because Nikki Reed was more than willing to chat about the upcoming installments of "The Twilight Saga" while promoting her upcoming indie "Last Day of Summer."

Fans who have read the book understand that Rosalie's infatuation with Bella's baby stems mostly out of her own inability as a vampire to have a child. This is something that is discussed at length in the novel, and something Nikki hopes will also make its way into the film.

Julie Plec, the executive producer of "The Vampire Diaries," has a "Mockingjay" dilemma we are all too familiar with. Julie (pictured) tweeted, "Mockingjay loaded on the Nook. Need a free weekend to read by a pool. In an alt. universe where my job would never find me. Any suggestions?" Broadway star John Gallagher Jr. ("American Idiot") seemed like he was going to find time to dive into the latest volume too, as he posted, "It's release day for Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins! Get your copy today! No I'm not working for the PR team. Just a really big fan/dork."

While most of us are trying to find a quiet spot to read "Mockingjay," Eli Roth is gearing up for the premiere of his new horror flick "The Last Exorcism." The scare master and producer of the movie tweeted, "Big day of press then #LastExorcism premiere! Who's going Thursday midnight?" There's one person we know won't be lining up to be freaked out. Even though she's starring in the upcoming chiller "Scream 4," Emma Roberts can't even make it through this flick's trailer! She shared with followers, "The preview for that exorcist movie really needs to stop coming on and scaring the crap out of me!!!"

After much suspense and fanfare, E! finally thinks they have figured out who will be playing Chris Colfer's boyfriend on the next season of "Glee," and their argument seems sound to us. When they spoke with Sue Syl — uh, we mean Jane Lynch last night, she said Kurt's boyfriend was already cast and "becomes the new star quarterback." She described him as a "good-looking kid" who's "tall, boyish with straight blond hair and big fat, pouty lips."

Well, "iCarly's" Chord Overstreet was recently cast as Sam Evans, a football-playing transfer student who initially befriends Finn but then becomes his nemesis. Chord is tall and good-looking with straight blond hair and some pouty lips. We'll let the dots connect themselves.

Let's face it, with the exception of "Inception," "Eclipse" and "Toy Story 3," this has been a pretty lackluster summer movie season. In fact, the most successful films of the season were sequels, animated films, remakes and 3D movies — or some combination of the four.

What's especially noteworthy is that none of those top films leaned solely on one star to do the box office heavy lifting. Now, some of the summer's latecomers, which do rely on one marquee name, are not fairing so well at the box office — not to mention taking a bit of the shine off of some of our favorite stars. The most recent film to fall into this trap was Jennifer Aniston's "The Switch," which many are predicting will be her weakest box office performance to date.

Is this the end of the former "Friends"' film career as we know it? Hit the jump to see what we think Jen's — and other summer stars' — box office bankability will be in the coming months.
