Ah, those lips. Those iconic lips from the opening frame of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and the classic poster. The lips that sing "Science Fiction/Double Feature" have made their way to "Glee" for the long-awaited "The Rocky Horror Glee Show" episode. For fans of "RHPS" it was a delight to see the opening of the cult classic done right (they even got the credits down pat), but unfortunately, the episode, much like Brad and Janet, got rather lost along the way.

Perhaps expectations were too high for the episode (much like the Britney episode was for a lot of fans), or it simply came down to that rare "Glee" misstep. And it seems like, once again, we have Mr. Schuester to blame. Still smitten with Emma, Will decides to put on a production of the classic but raunchy, "Rocky Horror Picture Show" when he discovers she (and her adorable new beau Dr. Carl) love the movie and have attended midnight screenings together.

And here's where things get really mucky. Rather than the focus of the ep be on "Rocky Horror" we're thrown into the Will-Emma-Carl love triangle, as well as two side stories that never really take off (Finn is uncomfortable with his body, Sue is desperate to win a local daytime Emmy.) After various casting shake-ups (which we'll talk more about later) with the students and staff, Will ultimately decides to draw the curtain on the "RHPS" for too many reasons. Was it because the show was too inappropriate for school? Because it didn't win Emma back after all? Or because he wanted the show to be just for the outsiders and not the entire school? It all felt a bit disjointed in the end.

It was a sad news day and tweeting celebs opened up to their followers about everything that was going on. Indonesia was hit with a double tragedy as a tsunami set off an earthquake, which has already claimed the lives of more than 100 people. TV host Nate Berkus, who survived the 2004 tsunami in Sri Lanka shared from his page, "Even though I am safe in nyc today, I am thinking of all of those affected by the tsunami in indonesia. Prayers and shared sadness." Justin Bieber (pictured) tweeted, "just found out about the earthquake in Indonesia. everyone please pray for the people there. #prayforindonesia" while Hayley Williams informed her fans, "If you're not caught up on what's happening in Indonesia, here's one of many news articles about the disaster: http://tinyurl.com/2fhhsf7."

Another big headline was the death of Paul, the octopus who predicted the World Cup winners. Ryan Seacrest posted, "Sad to report that Paul the World Cup's psychic octopus has died - http://bit.ly/RIPpaul" and "Saturday Night Live" star Seth Meyers left his own kind of condolences from his page, "RIP Paul the Octopus. I'll never forget the time we spent together at the ESPYs. http://twitpic.com/310v5s."

We live in a world where dancers are superheroes, and it's all thanks to director Jon M. Chu. No, I'm not talking about his upcoming Justin Bieber movie, "Never Say Never," (did you watch the trailer today?), but give it a few more years, and we're sure The Biebs will star as some superhero or another. Instead, we're talking about Jon's genre-bending web series "The LXD," a.k.a "The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers."

The second season of the show premieres tomorrow on Hulu, and Jon already told MTV News earlier in the year that this season is all about the show's villains, The Alliance of the Dark. "We see these sort of as the 'Avengers' style," he explained. "In season two, which is them coming into learning what the LXD is, learning about what the organization is, learning who their enemies are, learning what the power, which we call RA."

We know you've been listening to Taylor Swift's new album, Speak Now, on repeat, and we bet you've got nearly all of the lyrics memorized (not to mention tons of theories about who she's singing about)! And, of course, you’re not the only one.

Taylor Swift superfan, Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber founder and friend of MTV News, Danielle Owens-Reid had a lot to say about what each song on the album means, and she managed to do it all in under 60 seconds (without losing her breath!). So guess what!? We’re challenging you to do the same!

We've got sad news for all you romantics out there. One of Hollywood’s most adorable couples, Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan, have officially called it quits, People reports, confirming earlier rumors of a split. Say it ain't so!

Shia and Carey coupled up while filming "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps" in the Big Apple during the summer of 2009. "You could see their chemistry right away," "Wall Street" director Oliver Stone told People in May. "They were completely professional on set, but there was no mistaking what was happening."

In the April issue of GQ, a normally tight-lipped LaBeouf praised his then-GF, calling her "the most talented actress I've ever met." Aww!

If you've ever wondered whether impossibly good-looking actor Armie Hammer (he of the "6'5", 220 pounds, and two of me" Winklevoss twins in "The Social Network") is as impossibly good looking in person as he is on celluloid, well, I'm here to tell you, yes. Yes, he is. But, sadly, Armie's all-American appeal doesn't seem to be enough to win your favor. Recently we asked you to vote for the hottest "Social Network" actor, and costar Andrew Garfield currently leads with 32 percent of the vote.

When Armie stopped by the MTV offices, we just had to ask what he thought about his troubling second place standing.

"Good for Garfield. He's Spider-Man, dude. He can have it. He can have it. He can probably beat me up in a couple months after he starts training," Armie conceded.

Boo! Did we scare you? No? Okay, well, maybe a fright-night feature will get your knees knocking. In anticipation of Halloween, we asked a slew of celebrities to suggest their favorite scary movies to get you in the mood for the ooky, spooky holiday.

You probably know today's guest blogger, Brendan Robinson, best as the adorkable Lucas on ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars." Which flick gives Brendan the heebie-jeebies? "The Shining"!

I'm not a huge scary movie kind of guy, like, I don't do slasher movies because I'm really squeamish. But if I had to pick a favorite, it would definitely be "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson. Not only is that a scary movie, it's just a flat out classic. That and any of the really old black and white movies like "Frankenstein" or "Dracula" are fun because they just set the tone for Halloween. Oh, and I saw the really, really old silent movie "Nosferatu" from 1922 when I was in high school. I'm pretty sure that gave me nightmares. Just as long as there's no blood and guts, I'm cool.

Check out all of our "My Favorite Scary Movie" features!

What is your favorite scary movie?

If you're a fan of the cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" there's no doubt that tonight's new episode of "Glee" has you shaking with antici...(say it!)...pation! But for all you Crushers who aren't familiar with the 1975 movie musical adaptation that spawned countless theatrical productions around the world and midnight screenings that thrive on crowd participation, we'll catch you up to speed.

The film, which is a campy blend of music and science fiction, tells the story (through a criminologist narrator) of recently engaged teenagers Brad and Janet (played by Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon) whose car breaks down in the rain one night and they soon find themselves at the creepy castle of one "sweet transvestite from Transylvania" named Dr. Frank-N-Furter (the incomparable Tim Curry).

It seems like Taylor Swift is reading our dream guy list. First Joe Jonas, then Taylor Lautner, then Corey Monteith and, yes, even John Mayer. Now comes word that Taylor, who we will now call the luckiest girl in the world with the best taste in men ever, might be dating Jake Gyllenhaal.

According to multiple websites and multiple reports, the duo were spotted around NYC over the weekend. Perez Hilton has a photo of the pair hanging out in Brooklyn (near Maggie Gyllenhaal's pad), and sources tell the gossip gangsta that Jake was Taylor's date to the "Saturday Night Live" episode hosted by her bestie, Emma Stone.
