"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" is still months away (four long, Hogwarts-less months), but the world’s most famous boy wizard has found a way to pass the time until then—starring on Broadway in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." We caught up with him on the musical’s red carpet recently, and he revealed which on-stage act he'd need to be under the Cruciatus Curse to perform.
"I’m still going to have to go with being naked on stage," Daniel answered when asked which was more terrifying: singing and dancing (which he’s claimed in the past to have "absolutely no aptitude" for) or being naked à la "Equus," his 2008 Broadway debut. "Once you’ve learned [singing and dancing], it can become really fun. I can’t say the same about being naked on stage."

From what we've seen of the upcoming video for her latest single "E.T." (which, in case you didn't know, debuts this Thursday on MTV!) Katy Perry has achieved yet another wild look we want to abduct for ourselves.
Yesterday we brushed through her many memorable hairstyles, but today we wanted to reflect on the unique duds the pop star has rocked in the past, leading to her latest intergalactic outfit. So come take a trip down memory lane with us and look back at the daring, flirty and feminine video garbs that are so very Katy Perry.
And, don't forget, right after the world premiere of "E.T." be sure to visit MTV.com for an interview with the singer during "MTV First: Katy Perry"!
Katy made a good impression right from the get-go with the gold mini dress she worked to the max in her "I Kissed a Girl" video. Even though it's from 2008, the dress and all those accessories (The belt! The Katy necklace! Those shoes!) are still all kinds of right today. I mean, talk about getting a shy temptress look down pat.

In the days leading up to the release of "City of Fallen Angels," Cassandra Clare has been posting enough tweets to fill a book of its own with answers to "Mortal Instruments" fans' burning questions about the fourth novel in the young adult fantasy series. But we greedy readers still want more. Lucky for us, she and good friend Holly Black, author of "White Cat" and its upcoming sequel "Red Glove," took along a video camera and some of our questions when they went down to Mexico last month for their annual writing retreat. We'll be rolling out their charming exchange from now through next Tuesday, when "Red Glove" and "City of Fallen Angels" finally hit shelves.
First up, Holly tried to get a little "City of Bones" movie scoop for us.
"I love Lily Collins," Cassandra gushed right off the bat about the actress cast as heroine Clary. But she wasn't so forthcoming when asked about her preference for who should play sarcastic, demon-battling hottie Jace. What does she think of the fans' favorites?

It's no surprise Ashley Greene looks like a natural in her floral-print retro bikini and tie sweater on the cover of Glamour's latest issue—she did start her career as a model, after all! Ashley shares May cover duties with fellow starlets Emma Stone and Freida Pinto, and inside the issue, the "Skateland" star dishes about her career, her charity work and boyfriend Joe Jonas (yes, her interview was conducted before the split. Eek!)
Though she's long past her vogueing days and has found major success with the "Twilight" franchise, Ashley confessed that she still feels unsure about her acting chops sometimes. "I still am extremely green in some ways," she admitted. "And so each time I work on a character it is very exciting, very scary." Then there's always the problem of typecasting. "It is difficult because people look at you as the character," she added. Let’s hope they don’t think she’s really a vampire!

Oh, Chloe Moretz, how you TEASE US. We caught up with the 14 year-old star of "Let Me In" and "Kick-Ass" on the red carpet at this weekend's First Annual Comedy Awards in NYC, and she let slip that she's got some seriously exciting news to announce in the next week or so...but the little minx wouldn't tell us what it is.
"I just booked a huge project last night," is all she'd say. "You're gonna die when you find out, it's huge!"
And it must be, since Chloe added that after officially landing whatever role this is, "I left my iPad on a plane, I was so freaked out."

Forget Alex Pettyfer. The biggest badass in the film adaptation of "I Am Number Four" is clearly tough-as-nails, alien hottie Number Six, played by Aussie actress Teresa Palmer. I could watch that girl kick butt all day long (hello, girl crush!), which is why I'm pretty jazzed about her latest (maybe) project.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Teresa is in talks to star along "Skins" actor Nicholas Hoult in Summit Entertainment's "Warm Bodies."
The zombie flick is being described as "Twilight" meets "Shaun of the Dead." Teresa would play the daughter of a military leader and the love interest to Nicholas' zombie character R. "The blossoming relationship starts a chain reaction that will transform him, his fellow zombies and maybe the whole lifeless world," adds the THR piece.

Everyone is excited for you all to see the season PREMIERE tonight!!!! ABC Family!" But she wasn't the only one ready for the show's return, as "Pretty Little Liars" star Lucy Hale posted for her pal, "everyone be sure to tune into the season premiere of Secret Life tonight on abc family. @Megan_Park get it girrrrl."
In case you needed a reminder to stayed tuned for the new season of "Make It or Break It," which premieres right after "TSLOTAT," the stars hopped on their Twitter pages to do just that. Candace Cameron Bure wrote, "Tonight is the night!! #MIOBI is back!! Don't forget to set your DVR for 9pm on ABC Family!!

Whoever tweets most I'm sending a signed photo to! Xo." She was even kind enough to drop some hash tag-reffic spoilers, "#MIOBI #MIOBI #9pm #ABCFAMILY #BETRAYALS #DEATH #LOVETRIANGLES #COMPETITION #REHAB #SEXYBRITISHBOYS 
(hadda rep my <3) #SEASON2BMIOBI!!!!"

We here at Hollywood Crush spend a lot of time on Twitter (it's sort of tough to stay away when the likes of Ryan Gosling, James Franco and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are hanging around on the Twitterverse!). So when Time magazine put out their list of the 140 Best Twitter feeds, we couldn't wait to see which celebrity tweeters we know, love and follow made the cut.
While we were psyched to see some of our favorites like Taylor Swift, Neil Patrick Harris, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Conan O'Brien, Mindy Kaling, Jimmy Fallon and Ellen DeGeneres, we couldn't help but notice some glaring omissions.
Check out five of our favorite tweeters who were inexplicably left off the list after the jump!

Who would have thought it'd be this difficult to find a wife for Robert Pattinson? In his first post-"Twilight" role, Rob will star in "Cosmopolis" as finance wunderkind Eric Packer, whose risky decision-making lands him in the cross-hairs of an assassin's rifle.
As if dodging a blood-hungry hired gun weren't enough, Eric must also contend with an estranged wife—a role initially filled by Marion Cotillard. When Marion dropped out of the film, Keira Knightley was rumored to have taken her place, but as Rob hinted during our 30-minute chit-chat with him recently, that was not to be either. So which lucky lady will wear (and possibly remove) Robert Pattinson's ring? Meet Sarah Gadon.

Earthlings, in case you missed our earlier transmission, we have some out-of-this-world news for you. On Thursday, Katy Perry's hotly anticipated new music video "E.T." (featuring the one and only Kanye West) will land EXCLUSIVELY at MTV, followed by an interview with the starlet during "MTV First: Katy Perry"! (Get all of the details here.)
We're pretty excited to debut Katy's latest, and to celebrate, we're bringing you treats of intergalactic proportions all week leading up to the video's premiere. Today, we're honoring Ms. Perry-Brand by taking a look back at her evolving main—a hair history, if you will. (You know how much we like those around these parts...)
When we first met Katy in 2008 thanks to her "I Kissed a Girl" video, the songstress was rocking a shoulder length, wavy 'do with side-swept bangs. Sporting minimal makeup, Katy's look was one part demure darling and one part sexy siren, making guys (and girls alike) wish for just one smooch from Katy.
