Dr. McDreamy he most certainly is not. In Patrick Dempsey's latest flick, "Flypaper," the preternaturally well-coiffed actor trades in his signature scrubs for the everyday wear of harried, unwitting hero Tripp Kennedy. The crime caper, which premieres next week at the Sundance Film Festival, centers around a bank heist gone wrong, which Tripp is caught smack-dab in the middle of. As two gangs simultaneously try to rob the bank, Tripp springs into action, tackling pretty teller Kaitlin (played by Ashley Judd) to protect her, ultimately forging an unlikely partnership. As the bank goes into lock-down mode for the night, trapping both gangs along with Tripp and Kaitlin, the dynamic duo find themselves trying to save the day...without falling in love.
In this EXCLUSIVE scene from "Flypaper," we see Patrick and Ashley's chemistry at work when Swiss Miss goes missing. (I have a feeling they're not talking about a steaming cup of hot chocolate.) Tripp has some sort of meltdown, muttering about goggles and faxes, so Kaitlin does the only logical thing, silencing him with a kiss. Except, that freaks out Tripp even more!
Press play on the video above to watch our entire exclusive "Flypaper" clip.
Are you excited to see Patrick Dempsey in this new film role?

Mere weeks after news spread that Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal had split up, comes word that the two were spotted out together again in Nashville.
People reports that Jake recently visited Taylor in Nashville where she lives. The duo were seen grabbing food at a restaurant, Bound'ry, on Wednesday, near the country superstar's condo. A patron tells the website that they ate alone at a table for two.
"They did eat," the patron told People. "They were cordial to one another, but not affectionate." No word on what the dinner meant. The two were last spotted together on December 9 before spending the holidays separately.

It looks like there's been a near-complete turnover of actors on the set of David Cronenberg's upcoming thriller "Cosmopolis." First Robert Pattinson replaced Colin Farrell as the film's protagonist Eric Packer, and now The Playlist is reporting that Keira Knightley will replace Marion Cotillard as the female lead and love interest. Certainly gives the flick a different feel.
The Playlist cited a couple of potential reasons for Marion's departure. Her reps told them she had to leave the project because of a scheduling conflict, which they think could be her upcoming baby. But Marion was a much better fit for a romantic interest when Colin was the lead. We have a feeling the switch from her to Keira became necessary when Rob came on board, since Marion is 10 years older than he is.

We've had a big, bad hankering for the March 11 release of "Red Riding Hood" ever since the teaser gave us a taste of the gothic, grisly awesomeness to come. But now that the full-length trailer has made its way onto the web, it's official: This movie has us hungry like the...well, you know.
The new trailer is longer, larger, and decidedly more action-packed than the more expository teaser. What's new and exciting about this two-minute preview? Here are our three favorite just-revealed moments:

Talk about My Super Sweet 16! Rising pop star Jessica Jarrell lived out every teenage girls' fantasy last weekend when she celebrated her milestone birthday in L.A....alongside Justin Bieber! I guess those are the perks of calling the Biebs your former tour mate.
According to Tiger Beat, the 16-year-old rented out the Moonlight Rollerway roller skating rink, serving pizza and cupcakes to her buds. "Roller skating is one of my favorite things to do,” she explained. "I thought it would be something cool that everyone could enjoy!"

After playing a ballerina in "Black Swan," Natalie Portman was already an expert on all things dance-related. But for her next film, "No Strings Attached," she told MTV News that she had to learn a whole new kind of choreography for her sexy scenes with co-star Ashton Kutcher.
"Some of the things were like, 'What are we gonna try today!?'" Natalie recalled.
Things, eh? Well okay, Natalie—since you won't say it, we will: SEX. Naked, sexy, sex with Ashton Kutcher. Yep.

It only comes but once a year and it brings joy to all those who look forward to it. Yes, Coachella will once again hit Indio, California, and this year's lineup, which was announced yesterday (and includes the likes of Cee Lo Green, Kings of Leon, Kanye West, Brandon Flowers, and many, many more), had celebs raring to go! Actress Busy Philipps cried, "Hooray! Coachella lineup has been announced! www.coachella.com --I will be there, as usual..." and "Hannah Montana" star Emily Osment announced she was, "STOKEDCHELLA!!!!!!" while actor Stephen Colletti could only muster, "oh. my. coachella." Meanwhile, Katy Perry may not be on the bill, but that won't stop her from attending, as she tweeted, "Needless to say, I'll still be there w/glowstixxxs. #coachellalineup."
While many celebs woke to the delightful news of their favorite bands playing over the course of three days, singer/actress Hilary Duff (pictured) got some rather unexpected information...about herself! The newlywed took to her Twitter to laugh off a new rumor, telling followers, "Wow what a way to wake up and find out your pregs! It's just a rumor guys! Not true. But thanks for all the good wishes! Lol."
Check out the rest of Wednesday's best tweets from the stars and find out who is hugging/sniffing Bruno Mars and which of the Kardashians are getting their own SillyBandz (no, really!) Follow us @hollywoodcrush to get even more celebrity and pop culture news around the clock!

Okay, okay. That headline might be a wee bit misleading. But we're only relaying what Peter Facinelli told us. You see, when we cornered the "Twilight" star at Sunday's Golden Globes and pleaded for some "Breaking Dawn" scoop, Peter had plenty to say about filming the saga's closing moments (Sad! Sniff!), but he also had an unexpected answer as to what fans can expect from director Bill Condon, known for his work on musical films like "Dreamgirls" and "Chicago."
"Lots of dance numbers," Peter said with a laugh. Funny, indeed. Could you picture the story's final showdown re-imagined as a "West Side Story"-esque dance-off? (I bet those Volturi robes would be mad-difficult to bust a move in.)

"Skins" is here, and based on how many TV watchers tuned into the naughty teen drama's premiere, we know these actors are going to be stars. In fact, we're pretty sure teen girls everywhere will soon be hanging posters of the "Skins" boys up in their bedrooms, which is why we're drooling over them as this week's Hump Day Hotties. Let's get to know each of them!
Check out the video of the guys below, and then keep reading for more details about them!
James Newman
Character: Tony
Choice Quote: "Things like this certainly happen [in real life]," James said of the show's subject matter. "I don't think they necessarily happen with the frequency that it happens on 'Skins,' but it's TV and we want it to be entertaining and it helps from a standpoint on sex and drugs. It doesn't happen as much, but I think as far as relationships the friends have with each other and the emotions, that stuff is dead-on, spot-for-spot what we went through in high school...Anytime you see sex and drugs on 'Skins,' it's about the story. It's never that for the sake of that."

Maybe it's my memories of Shere Kahn from "The Jungle Book" and Siegfried and Roy's unfortunate incident, or maybe it's the stigma of crazy cat ladies, but I never would have considered a tiger to be a natural fit for a fictional romantic lead. Sookie Stackhouse's sometime-weretiger boyfriend Quinn (in the Charlaine Harris novels, not yet in "True Blood") made the idea a little more palatable. But brothers Dhiren and Kishan in Colleen Houck's "Tiger's Curse" make a pretty good case for themselves.
The first in Colleen's "Tiger Saga," which was pretty popular when she self-published it last year before its official print version came out last week, "Curse" follows Kelsey Hayes, a 17-year-old orphan who lands a two-week temp gig at a traveling circus in her Oregon hometown. (Sign me up with that temp agency!) In addition to running the concessions stand, one of her duties is to feed the white tiger (naturally). She feels sorry for the majestic Dhiren as she watches him go from his small cage to his mundane tricks in the ring, so she begins to visit him at night and read him "Romeo and Juliet" (!).
