Hollywood Crush ›

Finally, we have some good—no, great!—casting news for Hollywood Crush favorite Megan Fox. Since she dropped out (or was dropped from?) "Transformers 3," the stars haven't quite aligned for her in terms of projects and box office revenues, but The Hollywood Reporter has a casting scoop that seems like it could put Megan back on top.

According to THR, Megan will be joining Jon Hamm, Adam Scott, Jennifer Westfeldt and Kristen Wiig in the upcoming rom-com "Friends With Kids." The project follows a pair of thirtysomething best friends who come up with a way to bypass the stress of having kids by having a child with each other, and then proceed to date other people. Megan will play a girl who Adam dates after he and Jennifer have a child.

Baseball fans have an exciting weekend ahead of them, as the Championship Series, which will decide which two teams head to the World Series, begins tonight! Before the Philadelphia Phillies and the San Francisco Giants battle on Saturday, the New York Yankees and the Texas Rangers will be squaring off Friday in Arlington. The highly anticipated game has some celebrity fans, including a torn Nick Jonas (pictured), who tweeted, "Yankees and Rangers tonight. The tough part is I have love for both teams. However, my loyalty is with the Yankees. LETS GO YANKS!

Of course, baseball isn't the only highlight of October; there's also that delightfully crisp weather that comes along with it. Actress Malese Jow shared her affinity for fall as she posted, "Bring on the fall weather. I wanna bust out the boots and layer up already!" while reality star Audrina Patridge told followers, "This weather makes me wanna go to the pumpkin patch!!"

Check out the rest of Friday's most memorable tweets from the stars, including Neil Patrick Harris' doubly exciting baby news! Follow us @hollywoodcrush to get even more celebrity and pop culture news around the clock!

One European city. Two lovely actresses. Two very different style slants. Keira Knightley and Hilary Swank were both in London this week for the premiere of their films, "Never Let Me Go," and "Conviction," respectively. Both ladies hit the red carpet in eye-catching gowns, but only one required sunglasses to gaze at (and that's not a good thing!). Keep reading to see who was our Style Superstar and who needs to hire a stylist.

You don't even need to see the front of this dress (though it's pictured anyway), because the back pretty much says it all. Keira rocked a lot of stunning looks while in London this week (including a fresh haircut), but this sophisticated ensemble really put her over the edge, earning her the title of this week's Style Superstar. The Chanel dress is the epitome of elegance, and Keira pulled it off flawlessly.

Sequels and reboots are having their day at the box office, but we bet over the next year or two, book-to-film adaptations will steal their spots on the top shelf. It doesn't take a degree in vampirology from Transylvania U to divine the success Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series has experienced thanks to novel-loving moviegoers worldwide. With a built-in audience of loyal readers, upcoming adaptations of "The Hunger Games" and "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" are primed for similar successes. In fact, so many of our favorite reads are headed to the theater that we can't pick just one as our best bet. Can you? Cast your vote after the jump for the book you think will be the box office star. And, as always, if we've omitted your top pick, tell us in the comments section.

It's only been two months, but boy have we been missing "True Blood." So must the folks over at CBS, because they just greenlit Charlaine Harris' Harper Connelly book series, which will be adapted by Ridley and Tony Scott's production company into a new mystery series called "Grave Sight," Variety reports.

We're pretty excited that Charlaine's lesser-known series about a woman struck by lightning who is then able to see the last moments of people's lives, is making its way to the small screen. The big question is whether the show will be as good—or better—than "True Blood."

"Grave Sight" has a long way to go before it will be ready for television, but there are a few things that "True Blood" has over it. First is the involvement of creator Alan Ball, whose complex views on death and overall awesomeness lend themselves very well to the HBO series. And then there's the man who leaves us all drooling, Mr. Alexander Skarsgård. Is it too much to ask that he be cast in both series...or in every film and television show ever?

[Editor's Note: With all of the depressing divorce drama this week, it seemed an upbeat proposal piece was called for.]

Last weekend I was lucky enough to witness, without a doubt, one of the cutest pop-culture proposals I've ever heard of. I was visiting London and, being the "Harry Potter" aficionado that I am, couldn't resist a trip to King's Cross station to see Platform 9 3/4. While the actual station is under heavy construction and not nearly as pretty as the "Potter" films would have us think, it didn't stop a smitten suitor from dropping to one knee and pulling out a ring. Needless to say, she said yes.

I joked that since he stole my dream proposal, I'd have to hold out for my future husband popping the question on the set pieces of Middle Earth still in New Zealand after "Lord of the Rings" production. But it got me thinking about what would be some of the best ways to propose to movie-loving, nerdy girls like me. Sure, this Platform 9 3/4 proposal was nowhere near as epic and awesome as the "(500) Days of Summer" proposal from earlier this year, but there's still plenty of romantic ideas left to cover. (Girls, forward this to your boyfriends!)

It's beyond thrilling to think that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is only a month and four days away. Warner Bros. has been teasing us with awesome posters and even better trailers, but here's some news that should really get you pumped: MTV has learned exclusively that Spike will debut a brand new clip from the film at their Scream Awards (airing Oct. 19 at 9/8 C).

The trailers have given us a pretty well-rounded look at the film, but there are still a couple of clips that we would love to see at the awards ceremony. Some we've peeked before, some we haven't, but all of our ideas would be a real treat for Potter fans leading up to the premiere of "Deathly Hallows: Part 1."

If your favorite part of the new "Karate Kid" was Justin Bieber's ballad "Never Say Never," then the title of his upcoming 3-D flick is going to leave you singing... Cause it's the same thing! After sending fans on a two-day internet scavenger hunt, piecing parts of the one-sheet together, Justin revealed the full movie poster at midnight via USA Today.

Justin looks pensive and philosophical in a profile shot, wearing his classic letterman jacket (this time with a few rhinestones) and his hair casually swept to the side. A tagline instructs fans to, "B a part of it." Somehow, we don't think an invitation is necessary.

Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner have always been the most high-profile members of the "Twilight" clan, but lately, it looks like the leading men of Forks are being eclipsed (haha! see what we did there?) in real life by one of their supporting actors. Ashley Greene, who got her big break playing the role of Alice Cullen, is suddenly everywhere—canoodling in Hollywood with boyfriend Joe Jonas, opening up her closet for charity, and in a few weeks, cementing her style-savvy status as the host of a new TV special about the fashion industry.

"Fashion Forward: Making It" will air on December 8th on The CW, with Greene leading a behind-the-scenes look at the young designers and celebs who've redefined the fashion industry over the past decade—so if you tune in, keep an eye out not just for famous tastemakers like Marcus Wainwright, David Neville and Tory Burch, but also for style-conscious celebrities like Gwen Stefani and (of course) Justin Timberlake. (Seriously, is there anything that guy doesn't do?)

And while there'll be plenty of glitz, glamor and sequined evening gowns, viewers can expect an eyeful of the gritty business side as well; the show promises a real exploration of what it takes to make it in fashion, from design to branding. Don't miss it!

Is Ashley Greene's new moon rising? Is this the breaking dawn of her career? Okay, okay, sorry. We'll stop.

Looks like the "Life Unexpected" / "One Tree Hill" crossover event worked! I wasn’t alone in watching what was easily my favorite episode of the season so far—the show hit a season high with 1.7 million viewers this week, beating the season premiere high of 1.65 million (although, for added context, the series premiere last winter brought in 2.82 million viewers).

Aside from being the most watched episode, the series was further rewarded in an order for more episodes. EW.com reports that two more scripts, on top of the initial 13, were ordered by the CW. Show creator Liz Tigelaar, who based the concept loosely on her own adoption experience, was clearly happy when the news broke today. Tigelaar has been campaigning and hosting live chats on Twitter all season to increase viewership for "LU." We now have 10 more episodes to go!

Are you excited we'll be getting a few extra "Life Unexpected" episodes this season?
