He's got his own Emmy-nominated show, "JONAS," has starred in two hit Disney made-for-TV movies that you may know as the "Camp Rock" franchise, had one funny turn on "Hot In Cleveland," and now Joe Jonas is bulking up his acting resume with a cameo on a November episode of "90210."

According to EW.com sources, the JoBro will be the latest celeb to make an appearance on the show as, wait for it, himself. According to the sources, Joe will go to a magazine party with wannabe pop star, Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes). Apparently, he will play her date for the night and even give the cover girl some plum advice on how to make it in the industry. He might just be the right guy to take some advice from! No word if there will be any actual romantic entanglements between the two in the episode. A rep for Joe confirmed EW.com's report to MTV News.

Much hoopla has surrounded the casting of " The Hunger Games'" scrappy young heroine Katniss Everdeen—actresses from Kristen Stewart to Chloe Moretz have all been linked to the film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' best-selling YA novel. But as important as hitting this casting bulls-eye will be, a truly great film version can only be achieved if the supporting players are equally as strong. So who better to flavor the cast than an Oscar-nominated actress?

When we caught up with Abigail Breslin at the Toronto International Film Festival where she was promoting her movie "Janie Jones," we couldn't help but ask about online speculation regarding the "Little Miss Sunshine" star tackling the role of Katniss' younger sister Prim.

With "Undercovers" premiering this Wednesday on NBC and a million other T.V. projects on his docket, it might be tempting to forget that J.J. Abrams is quite the force to be reckoned with on the big screen too (remember a little film called "Star Trek"?). But we haven't forgotten thanks, in part, to that sneaky little teaser trailer he released over the summer for his upcoming Stephen Spielberg collaboration, "Super 8."

Though there's more information out about what we don't know about the project than what we do, New York magazine's Vulture blog got the exclusive over the weekend that Elle Fanning (Dakota's younger sister) and "Friday Night Lights'" Kyle Chandler have landed roles in the flick.

What we love about James Franco is that, despite pursuing a Ph.D. at Yale, garnering serious Oscar buzz in "127 Hours" and embodying a Hollywood A-list persona, he's taken time out of his busy schedule to keep up with the trends. That's right, James has both read and watched the "Twilight" books and films, and when MTV News caught up with him at the Toronto International Film Festival where he was promoting "127 Hours," he spent more time talking about the phenomenon than the film's stars typically do.

While he may not be a self-proclaimed Twi-hard after reading the series, James can at least reference Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner on a first name basis (you'd be surprised to find there are celebs out there who can't), and can clearly understand the deeper metaphors of the stories.

It was a big week for fashion—from fall shows, which just wrapped up, to the white carpet style at the 2010 Video Music Awards. Now, there were plenty of fab (and alternatively disastrous) looks over the past few days, but the ones that left the biggest impact came courtesy of scene stealers Lady Gaga and Kanye West.

Leave it to Lady Gaga to wear something straight off the butcher's block to the VMAs. Granted, her meat dress definitely got people talking, but not necessarily for the right reasons. We asked you whether Gaga's look deserved to be on the best- or worst-dressed list, and while it was a surprisingly close race, at press time 52 percent said the dress was a major fail—and we agree. Sorry Gaga, maybe try veggies next time?

We've been counting down all week to the new television shows we're most looking forward to, but we're, of course, just as psyched to reunite with some of our old favorites. It seems the stars are just as anxious to see get started with the new seasons as we are! Cory Monteith of "Glee" told followers, " I'm reeeeeeally excited for you all to see some new episodes of #Glee!!!! only a few more days.... :)" while "Smallville" star Cassidy Freeman (pictured) posted, " one week my friends...till smallville season 10 hits the tracks...this train is coming on strong."

In the meantime, tonight marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur. One of our favorite funny men, Conan O'Brien joked, "Is it just me, or has Yom Kippur become way too commercial?" while actor/director Jon Favreau posted a more serious, "For Yom Kippur: RT @GreatestQuotes: "A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it, is committing another mistake." - Confucius."

Check out the rest of Friday's best tweets including Matt Lanter's glowing review of "Easy A" (is there anyone who hasn't loved this movie?!) Follow us @hollywoodcrush to get even more celebrity and pop culture news around the clock!

Sure, we're stoked that our favorite series like "The Vampire Diaries" and "Gossip Girl" are back from their summer vacations, but we can't help but feel slighted that our newest fave, "Pretty Little Liars," won't return with new episodes until January. Guys, that's 2011! Though this technically means "PLL" isn't part of the fall TV lineup, we nonetheless wanted to give the series a little love during our Fall Television Week here on Hollywood Crush. So what did we do? We launched a full-fledged Twittergation, that's what! For the past two weeks, since filming on "PLL" began, we've been stalking the stars' Tweets to suss out any details we could about the back half of season one. Though spoilers are about as hard to come by as "A"'s identity, we were able to gather a few choice tidbits. Check them out after the jump!

There's plenty of stress about getting a good roommate when teenagers head off to college, so it only seemed appropriate that someone capitalize on that fear and turn it into a horror movie. The "someone" in this case is director Christian Christiansen (awesome name), the man who brought together all of our favorite young actors to star in 2011's "The Roommate." The trailer dropped today, and let's just say that you'll never look at Leighton Meester quite the same again.

The plot centers on a college freshman named Sara (Minka Kelly), who finds out she is roommates with a seemingly nice girl named Rebecca (Leighton). Things seems to be going great as the girls befriend party girl Tracy (Aly Michalka), and Sara starts dating Stephen (Cam Gigandet), but they start going downhill fast after Sara realizes she is Rebecca's only friend. Toss in a creepy scene where Rebecca's mom asks Sara if Rebecca's been taking her medication and you've got perfect fodder for a horror film.

Forget the manners and civility of Jane Austen's 19th century England. "Pride and Prejudice" costars Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend have reteamed for a much more sinister movie experience. The two star in the forthcoming short movie (we dare you to say this title five times fast!) "The Continuing and Lamentable Saga of the Suicide Brothers."

Written by Rupert and costar Tom Mison, "Suicide Brothers" is a dark fairytale centering around two brothers' daily attempts to end their own lives. A mix of live-action and CGI, the film will be available for download on iTunes starting Tuesday, Sept. 21. In the meantime, Hollywood Crush has an EXCLUSIVE clip from the flick.

With the start of the new TV season right around the corner (and some of our favorite shows, like "The Vampire Diaries," already on the air), we're tuning our channel to fall television all week long on Hollywood Crush! In our "TV to Talk About" feature, we'll highlight a new show each day that we're super-psyched to see. Weigh in and let us know what you think too!

TODAY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT... "Boardwalk Empire"

PREMIERES: Sunday, Sept. 19 at 9 PM ET on HBO

STARS: The huge ensemble cast includes well-knowns like Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt, Kelly MacDonald, Shea Wigham, and Gretchen Mol.

PREMISE: It's 1920 in Atlantic City, NJ, and the sale of alcohol has just been outlawed nationwide—clearing the way for a new order of powerful political gangsters, parties that go til dawn and Atlantic City's undisputed place in history as the original "sin city." The show follows the whirlwind of drama, sex, murder and intrigue surrounding Enoch "Nucky" Thompson (Buscemi), the man who became the king of AC and the Eastern seaboard's gatekeeper for illicit booze, and Jimmy Darmody (Pitt), the former protege who tries to topple his empire.
