While much of the country is dreaming of a white Christmas, most Californians are just hoping for the seemingly never-ending rain to cease! With Los Angeles enduring nearly a week of rain, some celebs are simply fed up with the unseasonal weather. Lo Bosworth griped on her Twitter that, "Laguna is underwater. Too much damn rain" while Harry Shum Jr. sent a simple, precise message, "Hey rain. Just stop it, ok. Just stop." Still, not everyone in Cali is bothered by the December rain, including Jaimie Alexander who posted that she was, "Curled up under the covers, window open, listening to the rain fall upon the trees."

Meanwhile, the cast of "Little Fockers" is hoping the West Coast plans to stay dry by checking out their latest comedy. Newest "Focker" addition Jessica Alba (pictured) told followers, "I can't wait to hear what ya'll think of the #littlefockers!!!" as her co-star Jillian Rose Reed also made a reminder that, " Little fockers in theaters today!!!!!"

Check out the rest of Wednesday's best celebrity tweets, including Whitney Port "elf"-ing herself and Shelby Young braving the lines at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Follow us @hollywoodcrush to get even more celebrity and pop culture news around the clock!

All these celeb break-ups have gotten us totally down in the dumps, but 2010 heralded plenty of Hollywood marriages that have proved to us that love is still alive. Some of them were total surprises, like when Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green tied the knot in Hawaii (and it took us a week to find out about it!), while other ones we waited years for (looking at you Nicole Richie and Joel Madden).

In typical year-end fashion, we've gathered up our favorite celebrity weddings of 2010 and are letting you pick the one you loved the most. Vote in our poll after the jump to tell us your favorite, and brush up on the candidates here.

February 14 may be the official holiday of all things heart-shaped, candy-coated and rose-scented [insert single lady eye roll here], but if you ask me, Christmas is one darn sexy occasion. What's more romantic than snuggling with your beloved next to a crackling fire? Or stealing a kiss under the mistletoe? Or opening a little blue box from Tiffany's on Christmas morning (a girl can wish!)? Personally, I'll take a yuletide love affair any day over a Valentine's Day schmaltz-fest. So in honor of December 25 and all of its lovey-dovey possibilities, we're counting down the five most romantic Christmas movies of all time. Keep reading after the jump!

During the past year we’ve had the opportunity to get to know some of the freshest young hotties to hit Hollywood every Wednesday thanks to our Hump Day Hottie feature (you're welcome). So as we get ready to ring in 2011, we here at Hollywood Crush wanted to pick our top 10 and, well, remind you why we loved them so much in the first place. Today's reveal includes Nos. 10 through 6, but you'll have to come back next week to check out the final five!

10. Ben McKenzie
Sure he might always be Ryan Atwood to us, but we kind of love watching him chase down the bad guy on TNT’s "Southland." Ben was an early contender as one of this year’s Hump Day Hotties, but all these months later we’re still carrying a torch for the blond cutie. Thank goodness his cop drama's set to return again next month.

Have you been sobbing into your gingerbread over the latest spate of celeb breakups?

...Well, okay, us too. (Scarlett and Ryan just looked so pretty together! SOB.) But if you take a look back at 2010, it's clear that this wasn't just a year of heartbreak; it also included a hefty bunch of big, white weddings between the rich and famous! Awww. And today, we're awarding the honors to most memorable matrimonial celebrations of the year—with five famous couples, a Four Seasons ceremony, three little kids, two elephants, and a partridge in a pear tree*.

Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox win the award for best surprise ceremony, when they quietly tied the knot in Hawaii only weeks after announcing their engagement. (To be filed under Things That Will Never Happen Again: the words "Megan Fox" and "quietly" appearing in the same sentence.) But in classic Hollywood fashion, most of the famous weddings on our list were swank, flashy affairs with big guest lists and even bigger names in attendance. For instance: Carrie Underwood's half-a-mil nuptials with Mike Fisher at the Atlanta Ritz, which drew celeb guests like fellow country stars Faith Hill and Tim McGraw; and Alicia Keys' wedding to producer Swizz Beatz, which was officiated by none other than Deepak Chopra.

Say what you will about "The Twilight Saga," but the franchise certainly does well for its actors and actresses. Case in point: Rachelle Lefevre, Jamie Campbell Bower and Christian Serratos have all landed their own television series since hanging out with some sparkly vampires. Does that good luck extend to reporters who write about "Twilight" as well?

Audiences will decide whether the shows make the cut or not, but most of them might not even recognize the actors from their roles in "Twilight." After all, Rachelle is going from an evil vampire to a sexy doctor practicing in South America in "Off the Map," Jamie landed the massive role of King Arthur in Starz's "Camelot" and Christian is going back to high school in an as-yet-untitled ABC Family series about private school. However, we think these new roles have more in common with their "Twilight" parts than one might notice at first blush.

Now, before you contemplate an angry Twitter tirade to remind me that the uber-addictive "Vampire Diaries" premiered in 2009 (not 2010), let me explain. When The CW series debuted in the fall of 2009, I doubted whether there was room in my vampire-loving heart for another tortured threesome (you know, in addition to Edward, Bella and Jacob). Those first few episodes didn't have me convinced, but by 2010, "TVD" had ironed out the kinks, carved its own niche in the vampire-saturated world of pop culture and earned its rightful spot in my weekly DVR line-up. As the year comes to a close, let's take a look at what made "TVD" so great.

Er, actually, 2010 didn't begin with much bite as the series was in the midst of its two month (!!) hiatus. But Hollywood Crush didn't leave "TVD" fans without morsels to chew on. Steven R. McQueen dropped hints about werewolves coming to Mystic Falls and his new love interest Malese Jow, revealing, "I know the audience will fall in love with her, just like I secretly did a little bit." Awwww. Meanwhile, Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder were busy vamping for Nylon magazine and Katerina Graham was spilling deets about Bonnie's witchy future.

If you stayed up until the wee hours of the morning trying to get a glimpse at that amazing lunar eclipse, you were hardly the only one craning your neck towards the night sky. Former "American Idol" contestant Jordin Sparks (pictured) told fans that she was, "Literally outside in my pjs using my telescope watching this lunar eclipse" while, unfortunately, fellow songstress Michelle Branch, "Missed the lunar eclipse because of all the rain clouds :(" Luckily for her, Ryan Seacrest generously shared the winter solstice wonder, "If u missed the lunar eclipse last night, here's the whole thing in 2 minutes: http://bit.ly/fBUgkR."

And speaking of things in the dark, the doomed-from-the-get-go Broadway show "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark" hit yet another snag as the injury-prone production saw a fourth accident on stage (this time, an actor plunged 20-30 feet while performing a stunt during a preview on Monday night). The show, which has already been pushed back quite a few times, has famous Broadway fans nervous to even step foot in the theater. As "Modern Family" star Jesse Tyler Ferguson put it, "I'm torn between wanting to see "Spiderman" on Broadway and not wanting to see someone literally die doing musical theater."

Can't we all just get along? Yeah...we didn't think so. But, really, what fun would it be if all of our favorite celebrities simply sat around braiding each other's hair and singing "Kumbya," anyway? When you're rich and famous, you're bound to make a few enemies, and this year was chock-full of stars who simply couldn't see eye-to-eye. John Mayer's big mouth got him in trouble with ex Jessica Simpson. Katy Perry apparently wasn't a fan of Lady Gaga's music and Beliebers had it out for Kim Kardashian.

With all of this tabloid fodder flying, it's hard to pick the most ferocious feud, so we're turning to you! Vote in our poll after the jump to tell us which feud was the fiercest. (Brush up on the candidates here.)

Rambo? Ancient history. Jason Bourne? Soooo 2008. Forget the dudely heroes of yesteryear; these days, the name of the game is ass-kicking women. This year's movie lineup was rife with smart, sexy, ultra-confident ladies who hang tough, play hard, and fight dirty...and, of course, gleefully murder the unfortunate punks who get in their way. And as we look back on 12 months of fine female leads, the 2010 year-end roundups wouldn't be complete without a countdown list of the Ass-Kickingest Females of the Year. From legitimate superheroes to intellectual heavyweights to vengeful victims, there's no question that these performances carried a serious dose of girl power.
