New York Fashion Week 2011 is a wrap! All week long we've been giving you VIP access to all the biggest shows. We've talked to all the hottest designers and have shown you the must-have trends for this fall season.

We kicked off the week at New York's Lincoln Center, by meeting seven up-and-coming designers at the Academy of Art University show. We let out our inner rocker-style with Charlotte Ronson, got sophisticated at Cynthia Steffe, went wild with Betsey Johnson and found our individuality with the Tracy Reese collection. Each designer had their own signature looks, making each show fun and unique. Rich colors, animal prints and men's tailoring were the top trends for this fall.

Now, we weren't just obsessing over the clothes this year—the hairstyles were just as fashionable. Many designers opted for a relaxed look but gave it an edge with braids or a wave. Two designers, however, decided to add color into their hairstyles, Betsey Johnson and Tracy Reese each used spray paint to add another element to their already eccentric looks.

TGIF took on a whole new meaning around the Twitterverse today: Thank God It's Franco! Yes, the oh-so-handsome Oscar-nominee/host James Franco (who already has something of a limited filter as is) added one more thing to his ever-expanding list of titles and became an official member of Twitter and Facebook. The "127 Hours" star put up his maiden tweet, which read, "Hi everybody, here I am on Twitter! This is my FIRST tweet..." and posted a video of himself with it. On the vid, James (pictured), addressed his fans to assure them, "This is the authentic Facebook, and Twitter, and every other page." He continued, "All those other ones are imposters, I've decided to go on to the web, and this is the real thing. So welcome, don't listen to those other pages." James, consider it done!

Friday was already off to a good start, what with "I Am Number Four" opening in theaters today! One of the movie's stars Dianna Agron got some support from her "Glee"-mates about her highly anticipated flick, including Cory Monteith who posted, "'I Am Number Four' opens tonight! go see @alittlelamb rock the big screen!" and Iqbal Theba (a.k.a. Principal Figgins) who also alerted followers, "'I Am Number Four' starring @alittlelamb opens today!"

Check out the rest of today's best tweets from the stars, including Lindsay Lohan clearing up some rumors! Follow us @hollywoodcrush to get even more celebrity and pop culture news around the clock!

We are in the final stretch of Fashion Week! We made our way backstage to talk to the lovely Tracy Reese, whose clothes are all about individuality and wearability for women of all shapes and sizes. The clothes looked comfortable, relaxed, but also very glamorous. Yet, it wasn't just the clothes that we were obsessed with—it was the hair! Since Tracy is all about being unique, she gave each girl a different look. She decided to go with a relaxed wavy style, but spray-painted the girls' hair with all different colors—purple, pink, copper and gold—not one girl had the same color. The look was fun and sexy, and it took only 20 minutes to put together. Check out the video below to see how you can do it at home!

Celebrity fans like Julia Stiles and Gabrielle Union attended the show and when asked why she is such a big fan, Gabrielle said that Tracy "is a total champ of individuality," and we couldn't agree more after seeing her runway looks. Check back tomorrow when we wrap up all the highlights from this year's New York Fashion Week!

What do you think about Tracy's unique hairstyles?

There's no shortage of actresses lining up to enter the "Hunger Games" arena as heroine Katniss Everdeen, and one of the latest to throw her name into the ring is "Camp Rock" star Alyson Stoner.

Over the past month, the 17-year-old actress-dancer has posted a series of tweets expressing her deep desire to star in the YA adaptation. One pic showed Alyson climbing a wall to prepare for battle, while another found her dressed in Katniss' signature garb. She's also tweeted back and forth about the role with fellow Disney darling Debby Ryan, who told Alyson earlier this month, "you're the most intense chick alive. you own, Katniss."

Obviously, when we ran into Debby at the premiere of Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never" recently, we had to ask her why she thought Alyson would be such a great fit for Katniss.

"She read them a few years ago, and I know that she's been very much in the mental place of the role," Debby said about BFF Alyson reading the series. "She and I spend pretty much ever weekend together. She's literally helped me through so much, and I've helped her through so much. Knowing her better almost than I know myself, she has this dedication and this hardcore-ness."

In just a few days, Hailee Steinfeld could be an Academy Award-winning actress thanks to her breakthrough performance in the Western "True Grit."

Whether or not she actually goes home with the gold, the 14-year-old has already wowed Hollywood with her talents, making her one of the most in-demand young starlets out there (she's even been one of the names considered to play Katniss in the upcoming, highly-anticipated "Hunger Games" big screen adaptation!)

According to Deadline, Hailee has her first post-"True Grit" project lined up, a drama called "Forgotten." In it, Hailee will play London Lane, a teenage girl who loses her memory every day at 4:33 p.m and can only recall things that happen in her future. She also relies on notes to herself, as well as a school friend, to help guide her through life.

Talk about a big week for fashion! This week began with a killer red carpet for the Grammy Awards and continued to bring the fabulous with New York Fashion Week, as well as countless other red carpets, including the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA). Frankly, we really didn't know where to start when it came to picking out our Style Superstar, after all, there was just so much to choose from (not that we're complaining!).

Eventually though, we managed to sift through colorful feathers (we're looking at you, Cee Lo Green!), animal prints (hello, Nicki Minaj) and all the lovely things to hit the New York runways to find the lady whose look left us swooning (as well as the one who had us talking for days). Check out both Emma Watson and Lady Gaga (what, you think we'd leave her out?) below and find out who is this week's Style Superstar.

Could Emma be anymore darling? We adored the "Harry Potter" star's look at the BAFTAs red carpet, where she wore a silver-tinted, one-shoulder gown by Valentino. In classic Emma fashion, she kept it light on the accessories and let the elegance of the dress speak for itself. The look was perfect for Em, and it makes her this week's Style Superstar.

On the heels of last night's excellent "Vampire Diaries" episode (didn't expect that final shower scene...) comes confirmation of a weeks-long casting rumor: Joseph Morgan will indeed take his place as the very baddest of the bad, head of the Originals, vampire Klaus!

TVLine initially broke the news in late January that Joseph was in final negotiations for the much-talked about role. Deadline confirmed the news today, adding that the Welsh actor beat out more than 100 actors for the villainous role. When can we expect Klaus to begin wreaking havoc in Mystic Falls? TVLine's Michael Ausiello spilled that Joseph will make his debut on the April 21 episode. Does that seem super far away to anyone else?

The 30-year-old is a relative unknown, having had small parts in "Alexander" and "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World." That being said, he's a pretty foxy lad and we're excited to see what he can do with the part. But what do you think, Crushers? Vote in our poll after the jump and let us know if Joseph Morgan fits the Klaus bill.

We'll take any opportunity to stare at dreamy Alex Pettyfer (who may or may not be the next Robert Pattinson) for a solid two hours, so if you're wondering where to find us over the long holiday weekend, look no further than an "I Am Number Four" screening at the multiplex.

Though Alex's alien John Smith is fun to look at and all, there's one character who beats him out in the badass department: Teresa Palmer's Number Six. You see, John's just learning to harness his powers (or legacies as they're called), whereas Number Six is already in full-out warrior goddess mode. Number Six has no fear and easily blasts through Mogadorians like they're those pigs in Angry Birds. Seriously, we have a girl crush already.

In fact, the first time we meet Number Six is during a particularly, um, explosive scene in which a poor beach house is blown to smithereens. So when we caught up with Teresa at a junket for the film, we just had to ask for some tips on how to seductively walk away from just such an explosion (because we often find ourselves facing that scenario).

"There was a real explosion, but how we did it was, I walked out of the house, and I had to do this sort of sexy swagger, and I walked out and did the hair-flick," she explained. "I had the sunglasses on, and then there'd be two guys running behind me with a big green screen, like running and putting it in, and then we'd call cut and move away and then they'd blow up the house. I guess they composited it together so it looked like I was actually walking away from the fire."

Seeing Kate Hudson in a rom-com may be as expected as doing "The Electric Slide" at a wedding reception, but we're still definitely RSVP'ing to "Something Borrowed." Why? Well, it's adapted from one of the very best chick lit books ever, and it also stars other Hollywood Crush faves like Ginnifer Goodwin, Colin Egglesfield and John Krasinski.

The trailer for "Something Borrowed," due in theaters this summer, finally hit the web last night, and it looks as though Ms. Hudson was right—they're sticking pretty close to Emily Giffin's beloved best-seller.

The clip begins with us meeting Rachel (the always-adorable and oh-so-right-for-this part, Ginnifer) and Dex (Colin), law school classmates who clearly have a connection, until Rachel's self-centered BFF Darcy (Kate) swoops in on him.

Fast forward six years later to Rachel's 30th birthday bash (where the book actually starts) and after some libations she and Dex (who is now engaged to Darcy) wind up kissing in a cab and spending the night together.
