Hollywood Crush ›

The theme of last night's "Glee" was supposed to be about the dangers of underage teens getting wasted, but instead it turned into a wasted opportunity for Ryan Murphy and Co. to shed some light on a very serious issue.

It just so happened to be Principal Figgins' mandated Alcohol Awareness Week when Rachel's dads are out of town, leaving her with a chaperon-free household. Upon learning the news, Puck pressures her to throw a party at her house. Deciding its time to shake off her good girl image (which now includes writing odes to the wonder that is her headband), Rachel obliges.

When she throws the lamest party ever, in what can only be described as the most horrendous party dress ever, Puck kicks things up a notch and breaks into Rachel's dads' liquor cabinet, promising to replace it later. We're never told at any point in the episode if he actually does or not, the first of many consequence-free actions by the students at McKinley High.

If you're anything like us, you haven't been able to stop singing along or tapping your foot to Adele's latest powerhouse single "Rolling in the Deep" (you may recognize it from those "I Am Number Four" commercials). In which case, you've also made sure that getting her latest album, "21," available now, is your top priority of the day. Turns out, tons of celebs had their Tuesday centered around Adele (pictured) as well, including fellow crooner LeAnn Rimes who tweeted, "downloading ADELE right now yayyyyaayayy." "Pretty Little Liars" actress Lucy Hale only spoke the truth about her love for the English singer-songwriter, "hellllloooo! Adele's new album is out. Its a good day" and so did actor Colton Haynes ("The Gates") who urged his followers, "Everyone buy Adele's new CD 21! It's out today! Grammy should be her middle name." Hopefully, Adele will find her way to "Glee" soon, that is if her fan Dianna Agron has anything to do with it, as she wrote earlier, "Dear Adele, you are so damn talented."

Speaking of unstoppable female forces in the music biz, Lady Gaga turned out an already-historic show at Madison Square Garden on Monday night, when she brought her Monster Ball tour to New York City to tape an upcoming HBO special. The live music extravaganza, which featured a performance of her new hit "Born This Way" was a huge success, prompting Gaga to write from her page in the wee hours, "Just pulled out of MSG, tears streaming down my face. Turned radio on + Born This Way was roaring. Believe, + catch your subway to destiny."

When it was announced a few weeks ago that actor James Franco and actress Anne Hathaway would be hosting the 83rd Annual Academy Awards together, some people were left wondering, "Huh?!" But after some careful consideration about the young and celebrated stars (those very clever Oscar promo ads and that NSFW "Funny Or Die" clip with Judd Apatow probably helped too) it seems the consensus has changed from confused to excited.

Since you can count Hollywood Crush amongst those stoked to see how James (who will be serving double duty on Sunday as co-emcee and a Best Actor nominee for his amazing performance in "127 Hours") and Anne (who earned a Golden Globe nomination for her work in 2010's sexy dramedy "Love and Other Drugs") tackle the prestigious gig, we wanted to give any lingering naysayers five reasons why this unconventional pairing will make for a memorable Oscars.

Call Rachel Berry a prophet: Just as the mini-diva lamented in last week's episode that New Directions' rendition of "SING" by My Chemical Romance is simply not up to Regionals' standards (especially against the likes of The Warblers and Oral Intensity), the McKinley High kids will indeed be performing their own music.

ONTD reports that the upcoming March 15 episode of "Glee" will feature two original songs, "Get Right" and "Loser Like Me." The former is described as a stirring ballad brought home by Lea Michele, while "Loser Like Me" (performers have yet to be announced) was co-written by pop phenom Max Martin, responsible for timeless hits by Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Pink and many more.

Never accuse MTV News of not asking the tough questions. Exhibit A: When our own Josh Horowitz caught up with "The Adjustment Bureau" stars Matt Damon and Emily Blunt at a junket for their thriller (due March 4), he put them through the proverbial ringer in a lightening round of yes or no questions. The rules were pretty simple: Each star had to answer Josh's questions with only yes or no as a response (i.e. no explanations allowed). Sounds easy enough...except with queries like, "Is that stupid British accent fake?" (addressed to Emily) and "Do you find Sarah Palin remotely attractive?" (directed to Matt), the stars had to think through their answers a little more carefully than normal.

My favorite question, by far, is the most vulgar (sorry, Mom!), involving Matt, BFF Ben Affleck and his, um, package. I won't spoil it for you, but I suggest you click play on the video above to see the hilarious results of MTV's latest After Hours, titled "The Yes/No Show."

What do you think of our latest After Hours? Which question and/or response is your favorite? Which celeb would you like to play the yes/no game with? Tell us in the comments and on Twitter!

Justin Bieber wasn't the only star to chop his signature tresses over the long holiday weekend. Jennifer Aniston turned up at the "Just Go With It" photocall in Madrid today—alongside co-stars Adam Sandler and Brooklyn Decker—flaunting shorter (and lighter?) locks.

To any celeb stylewatcher, however, Jen's new 'do isn't that, well, new. The flirty cut is very reminiscent of the sleek bob she flaunted a decade ago during the latter seasons of NBC's hit "Friends." Though she caught a bit of flack at the time for chopping off "The Rachel," I was always a fan of Ms. Aniston with an above-the-shoulder 'do.

But what do you think, Crushers? Vote in our poll after the jump to weigh in on Jennifer's new cut!

Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.

After all the attention we've given to Robert Pattinson over the years, it's about time that he showed us a little love in return! So we were pretty excited to see that when the actor arrived in Vancouver yesterday to film some scenes for "Breaking Dawn," he strutted through the airport wearing an MTV jacket. (Also, let's get a moment of wistful silence: This is probably the closest we'll ever get to draping ourselves over Rob's torso. Sigh.)

Fueling the ongoing rumors about a real-life romance between Edward Cullen and his Bella Swan, Rob arrived on a private jet along with co-star Kristen Stewart. Don't look for any photos of the two walking hand-in-hand through the baggage claim, though—according to People, Kristen bolted through customs with her head covered and left in a separate car. Looks like we'll just have to wait for some more behind-the-scenes shots from the set to get our fix of the on-screen newlyweds together.

Was I the only one who thought we were going to go an entire episode without a creepy text message from A? Of course, it wasn't to be, as the girls' phones simultaneously blew up while on their way to the police station but, boy, it was a close one. Let's look back at how the girls ended up in the back of a police cruiser.

Hanna finally gets the guts to ask mom, Ashley, if Caleb can stay with them for a while. Ashley isn't totally convinced that Caleb is the best company for Hanna. She ultimately decides letting Caleb stay in the guest room is a no go. Lucky for Caleb, the basement is still an option, so long as this secret is one Hanna can keep. Caleb sneaks around, hopping into the shower once Ashley has left for work, and in a twisted turn of events, Hanna ends up in the shower with him...fully clothed. Ashley returns home and needs to sneak in to grab her phone (which she charges in the bathroom because their massive house has no other outlets?) so Hanna, who's in the bathroom grabbing her mascara, jumps in the shower to cover her tracks but not without sneaking a glimpse of Caleb's Taylor Lautner-esque assets, if you know what I mean... All this sexual tension finally reaches its boiling point a few days later when the pair share their first kiss. YEEESSSSSSS!!!!

Try as we might, sometimes there is no denying one's true urges, be it food cravings (pizza and ranch dressing!), strange wardrobe choices (clogs!) or, in Naomi's case, an attraction to a four-eyed, M.I.T.-bound geek (also known as Max).

Naomi was trying to shake her nerd crush—which was getting more and more difficult due to Max frequently dropping inadvertently sexy things like "naked toad" and repeating her signature phrases verbatim (there's nothing Naomi loves more than hearing her own wise words, is there?)—by refocusing her attention on shirtless guys and thirsty Africans. You see, being the multitasker that she is, both were in the hopes of bettering her chances to get off the UC wait list and into the arms of a hot, not-so-brainy college man. But when her Nerd in Shining Armor saved the day (and her photo shoot, and thus her chances at UC) again, and because Naomi does what Naomi wants, she waved a finger at high school convention and went for her "Torchwood"-recording stud (only after swearing him to secrecy, of course).

While Naomi's offer may have been enough for Mr. August (who doesn't have a lot of thoughts to begin with), it turns out she's just not Max's "type," which is a not-so-nice way of saying he's just not that into you. But Naomi views herself as "everyone's type," so expect some high-quality attempts to expand Nerd Max's palate next week (hello, Na'vi costume!).
