It's Britney, bitch. And Brittany. Next week's "Glee," featuring the music of Britney Spears, stands a chance to be even more epic than last season's Madonna tribute episode. Really. And after Tuesday night's episode teaser and this audio leak on YouTube, we have a good idea of the Britney ditties New Directions will tackle. The preliminary list includes "...Baby One More Time," "I'm a Slave 4 U," "Toxic," "Stronger" and "Me Against the Music." All classic Britney tunes, for sure, though we can only hope "Oops...I Did It Again" will also make the final playlist. And while some will likely disagree with me, I'm glad New Directions (at least by all indications) isn't dipping into Circus material. The strength and nostalgia-factor of Britney's earlier works well outweigh the timeliness of her newer hits. That being said, it's time to weigh in and tell us which song you're most psyched to hear get New Directions-ified. Cast your vote after the jump and make sure to comment if your fave Britney tune is not included on this list.

To be completely frank, one of the things I never expected to learn from anything "True Blood"-related were all the different words that rhyme with "mud." Yet here we are. "Sesame Street," in a move to include a bizarre array of pop-culture references that don't have anything to do with its target audience but everything to do with its target audience's parents, has made a spoof of the hit HBO show called "True Mud."

Here, Bill is a grouch instead of a vampire, and he has a deep craving for some true mud. Not a spud or a dud, dagnabbit, but mud! He shows up to the "Sesame Street" version of Merlotte's and is served in proper fashion by the muppet version of Sookie Stackhouse, and tries his best to get himself some of that True Mud. You're going to have to watch the video for yourself to figure out what he wants to do with it (hint: it's definitely not for drinking).

In "You Again" (out tomorrow), Kristen Bell and Odette Yustman play high school enemies reunited years later when Odette becomes engaged to Kristen's brother. Though the film boasts plenty of catty moments, no girl fights were to be found at last night's red carpet premiere at Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre.

We love when stars opt for eye-popping colors on the red carpet, and Kristen's Valentino frock is no exception, but the lace, doily-like paneling makes the mini look more suitable for a place-setting rather than a red carpet. To her credit, Kristen did keep the accessories to a minimum, opting for a white belt, nude hells and a nude, studded clutch.

Emily Blunt is one busy little lady, but we're crediting this latest casting news to some residual happiness from her wedding earlier this year to "The Office" star John Krasinski. Pajiba reports that Emily is set to star in "Engagement Games," a film about three sisters who all get engaged at the same time and "will stop at nothing" to have their mothers' wedding ring. To solve their problem, their father makes them duke it out in the "Family Olympics."

With Emily attached to the script, there's a high likelihood some quality actresses will sign on to play her competing sisters. So give us a drum roll please, because it's Hollywood Crush Casting Couch time!

Drugs. A fight. Vomit. Making out. Yes, we're back for a third week of "Hellcats"! When we last left the team, they had just won their qualifying meet. But the after-glow doesn't last long, as the head of the athletic department pulls their funding anyway. But all is not lost! Coach Vanessa gives the team two options: raise $10,000 on their own or submit a bid video to earn an immediate slot at Nationals. Yeah, we'd choose the video too.

Inexperienced Savannah, who's never been on a "secular," one-on-one outing with a boy, is about to pee her pants over her impending date with Dan. Coming down with a bout verbal diarrhea, Marti goes off about Dan being a player and Savannah not being his type because she is girlfriend material. Savannah, understandably, freaks and straight up asks Marti if she has a thing for Dan. Of course Marti denies any more-than-friend feelings for Dan. And, of course, we are lead to believe that there is something more behind it.

It's been awhile since we talked with smoldery "Vampire Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder. (Okay, we talked to him in July, but it seems like forever ago!) Anyway, just in time for tonight's brand new episode, Ian offered a nice teaser regarding those Lockwood werewolves, the state of Elena and Damon and whether or not he gets a kiss or two.

"We find out some interesting stuff," he said. "[Specifically] the whole werewolf aspect. Mason poses a massive threat to Damon and Stefan and everyone, really. It’s a big problem, and I think we address a lot of that, which people have been very eager to know."

Ian went on to say that the state of Elena (i.e. How is she dealing with Damon trying to off her brother?) will also be explored.

Lea Michele's character knew it in last night's season premiere of "Glee," and now the world knows it: Singing sensation Charice is a force to be reckoned with! The Twitterverse was clearly impressed by the 16-year-old's "Glee" debut, including Former "Glee" guest star and crooner Josh Groban who wrote to her, "@officialcharice Great job on Glee! Very happy that so many people will hear your beautiful voice." Charice (pictured) was clearly flattered by the attention, tweeting, "wow! trending topic!! thank you so much!! <3 i love you all!!!"

But, Charice isn't the only big thing in television this week, just ask Jesse Tyler Ferguson who told followers, "Any North Americaner who follows me on twitter doesn't need to be told what tonight is: Its the night after the big Glee premier!" He jests, but Jesse and his Emmy-winning "Modern Family" crew are back for a new hilarious season tonight (9 p.m. on ABC.) His little costar Nolan Gould (who plays the dopey and adorable Luke Dunphy) had us laughing already with his tweet, "Modern Family season 2 premiere tonite! Just so you know, Luke got extremely handsome over the summer, lol! So excited 2 be back on the air."

Check out the rest of Wednesday's best celebrity tweets including the new "American Idol" judge announcements and Katy Perry's visit to "Sesame Street!" Follow us @hollywoodcrush to get even more celebrity and pop culture news around the clock!

Okay, so beyond the fact that I really want to sit down and have a conversation with the person who decided to retell the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet using gnomes, if you haven't already seen the trailer for Touchstone's upcoming "Gnomeo & Juliet," it's surprisingly worth checking out.

The classic star-crossed-lovers premise has been left mostly in tact, with the Capulets made over into blue gnomes and the Montagues as red gnomes. Gnomeo, our very own gnome Romeo, still falls in love with Juliet, and both still have to rebel against their warring families in order to do so. Except, instead of taking place in beautiful Verona, this battle for love takes place at two white-picket-fenced suburban homes. Yes, it's "Romeo and Juliet" meets "Toy Story," with gnomes. So why in the world would we be excited for this?

As you've likely heard, the country's favorite singing competition series "American Idol" has finally announced who will take over Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres' vacant judges seats and empty beverage-company-sponsored tumblers (hopefully they'll be washed first!). During a live webcast, Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler and Jennifer "Jenny from the Block" Lopez were named to the judges panel along with incumbent Randy Jackson.

Rumors had been circulating for weeks that Steven and Jennifer would be the chosen ones to trade one-liners with host Ryan Seacrest when the series returns next year for its 10th season. Now that it's official, though, it's time to weigh in with your thoughts.

Both artists have compelling musical chops to support their appointments. Steven has been rocking and rolling for 40 years with his band Aerosmith. He was named one of Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Singers and is a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. And did we mention that epic collab with *NSYNC and Britney Spears at Super Bowl XXXV? That alone...

For her part, Mrs. Marc Anthony has sold more than 55 million records, and I'm sure you'll agree that as both an actress and singer, she knows a thing or two about performing. But those are just our thoughts. Let us know what you think about the new judges after the jump!
