Divas sure do love to make us wait. It's been over two years since Britney Spears has released an album, and fans had been getting antsy. With the release of Femme Fatale next week, Brit is making a lot of folks anxious, including fellow pop star Kylie Minogue who tweeted, "I am READY for the @britneyspears album....love what I have heard!!! WhooOoOoOPP!!!!" But Brit wasn't the only one who left listeners waiting with baited breath. Singer/actress Jennifer Hudson (pictured) alerted followers about her first record since 2008, Remember Me. "My album is outttt! You can pick it up at iTunes now! - http://bit.ly/e3AOl2. Thanks for all the support! #irememberme." It seemed as though J-Hud was off to a slow start however, as she shared early Tuesday morning, "So far I know for sure I sold 4 CDs today ! #whereyouat".

On the other end of the music arena, Katherine Heigl's singer-songwriter hubby Josh Kelley released his latest effort, a country-inspired major label album called "Georgia Clay." His new sound could have a little something to do with Josh's brother Charles Kelley, who is in the Grammy-winning group Lady Antebellum. Charles took to the band's Twitter to page to write, "Just downloaded my bro Josh Kelley's new record from itunes. it's so good, so proud of him. You will love it, trust me."

Check out the rest of Tuesday's best tweets from the stars, including Kelly Osbourne's girl's night with Miley Cyrus and Kristin Chenoweth's return to "Glee"! Follow us @hollywoodcrush to get even more celebrity and pop culture news around the clock!

If you missed any of our "MTV First" interview with Robert Pattinson on Friday, don't sweat it, because we've got you covered! While Rob dished on working with Reese Witherspoon in "Water For Elephants" and teased us with some "Breaking Dawn" scoop, we know you Crushers have a one-track mind. And because we love you, we've taken the time to give you what you really want: a collection of RPattz's most swoonworthy moments, capable of bringing a smile to your face on even the darkest of days. (Studies show that a healthy serving of RPattz at least three times a day can help elevate moods.) You're welcome!

In the clip above, watch as Rob jokes about his female costars, slips into an American accent and teaches our own Josh Horowitz a little bit of Polish. Sigh. He giggles, he smiles, he laughs...what more can you ask for?

Which of RPattz's most adorable moments is your favorite?

On Monday night, "Pretty Little Liars" wrapped up after a super-successful, what-will-happen-next first season. Shay Mitchell, who plays lovable lesbian Emily on the hit drama, admitted that when she watched the episode along with fellow "PLL"er Ashley Benson (both pictured), she was pretty surprised.

"Last night, I watched it with Ashley, and honestly, there were a couple screaming moments," she told Hollywood Crush. "For me, I totally forgot about Lucas picking up Caleb and even the whole moving thing with Emily. I can see why fans are shocked. It was intense and well-shot [to show] the whole intenseness of it all.

Carrie Ryan's "The Forest of Hands and Teeth" and its sequel, "The Dead-Tossed Waves," both possess titles that quite literally described the location of the zombie infestation plaguing its central characters—girls who face the typical struggle of self-discovery while also just trying to survive in a world controlled by monsters and fear. The name of the trilogy's conclusion, "The Dark and Hollow Places," isn't just about the subway tunnels where the undead lurk. It's about the way protagonist Annah and the other residents of post-zombiepocalypse New York try to clear themselves of emotion and attachment in the face of unfathomable loss.

But though that last sentence makes this book sound mega-depressing, following Annah's efforts to wake up and cherish life after years of walling herself off is actually a surprisingly uplifting experience. Particularly when intercut with riveting action sequences that often involve machetes and crossbows.

No, you did not misread that headline, Crushers. Robert Pattinson—he of the "Twilight" Pattinsons—will present alongside "Water for Elephants" co-star Reese Witherspoon at the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, airing April 3 at 8 p.m. on CBS.

Yeah, we're scratching our heads too. I mean, we totally get why Reese will be there. She did win an Academy Award for portraying country music icon June Carter Cash in "Walk the Line," after all. Yet, we have a feeling hip-hop-loving Rob doesn't know his Randy Travis from his Travis Tritt. But when there's a movie to promote ("Water for Elephants" out April 22), any publicity (however...odd) is good publicity, right?

Today's announcement got us wondering what the actor would look like all done up in his finest Texas tuxedo, hence our little Photoshop masterpiece you see here. (Seriously, thank-you notes aren't necessary.) After you've had your fill of cowboy Rob, giddy-up past the jump and vote in our poll to tell us whether you'll be watching the ACM Awards to catch an eyeful of Robert!

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's did-they-didn't-they MTV Movie Awards kiss last year may have ranked among our favorite MTV memories of Rob, but if you ask me, the "Twilight" twosome could do it better. (Exhibit A: Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams' acrobatic acceptance speech, which still gets me hot and bothered.) Will the third time be the charm for Robsten? Help us find out by nominating them for a Best Kiss golden popcorn at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards!

Yep, it's that time of year again! Voting begins today in 13 categories, including Best Movie, Best Fight, Best Badass Star and the brand-new Best Line From A Movie ("Release the Kraken." "I'm 6'5", 220 pounds and there are two of me.")

Talk about a fierce fivesome!

Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Jamie Chung and Jena Malone, the stars of the upcoming "Sucker Punch," have landed on the cover of Nylon and are out to prove that not only can females in Hollywood kick some serious butt on-screen, but can be a force to be reckoned with off-screen as well.

The leading ladies talked to the magazine about what it was like meeting each other on the set of Zack Snyder's action-fantasy flick, and while there wasn't any cattiness to be found ("We all got along. It was magic," Emily said) there was certainly a level of intimidation.

One of the many perils of entertainment reporting is that when we happen upon our favorite stars, there is rarely enough time to cover as many subjects as we want. Case in point: last week's "Glee" event at PaleyFest, where MTV News had about two minutes (or less) to get scoop on upcoming episodes from a select cast members.

Naturally, we made the most of our time and asked everyone to give us some insight into their characters' romantic future.

Jenna Ushkowitz on Tina:
"Well, she's gotten to stay with Mike Chang the whole season, so I'm very interested to see come season three because we're getting close to that, what's going to happen. Her and Artie were season one, Mike Chang season two, so I don't know. She's gotten to do some weird cool acting moments, crying and laughing and having singing/crying moments, I don't know. She gets ups and downs so I love that.

Wait a sec. I'm a little confused... Spencer was just on the brink of death not once, but twice, and she's not hysterical? What!? Well, either way, the spring season finale of "Pretty Little Liars" was a little epic, no?

The girls confront Jenna about the videos and tell her they want the truth, which according to Jenna goes something like this: The day Alison died she paid Jenna a little visit at the hospital. She told her about the tapes she had found, calling them "home movies" that "the guy she likes" made. But Ali's peeping Tom BF wasn't the issue at hand—Jenna's love affair with Toby was. In fact, the tapes proved that Toby didn't force himself on Jenna, but instead the whole thing was a wicked sham. Jenna asked that Alison make sure the tapes never see the light of day, and in return, Jenna was to never let the cat out of the bag about the details of her "accident." So basically, poor Toby is forever the scapegoat.

When Alison left, with the deal largely in her favor, she threatened Jenna to never return to Rosewood. "I'll bury you," she said. So of course, the day Alison's body was found Jenna returned... She played the game like Ali would have, pretended the girls had become good friends, but honestly, she was just glad to be back now that Alison was gone for good.

Whenever we get to use the phrase "more Johnny Depp," it's never a bad thing. So it certainly made our Monday all the more fun when the new "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" trailer hit the web and it included, well, more Johnny Depp (as well as Penelope Cruz and some mermaids!). TV-radio host Ryan Seacrest posted the swashbuckling clip for followers, "Just got the new 2nd trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean 4! http://bit.ly/fJ2vGU. Nice work" while actor Matt Lanter expressed his love for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" (pictured), when he wrote, "Oh man, I am pumped for Pirates 4. Friggin love these movies!"

The new "Pirates" trailer isn't the only preview getting film buffs pumped for the spring and summer movie season, though. There's still the Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis R-rated rom-com "Friends with Benefits," whose non-kid-friendly trailer couldn't even be seen by one of its stars: Nolan Gould. The "Modern Family" child actor informed fans, "Trailer for the movie I worked on last summer http://fwb-movie.com/. For adults only. Even I don't get to see it."

Check out the rest of Monday's best celebrity tweets, including Kendra Wilkinson gearing up for tonight's "Dancing With the Stars" premiere and Britney Spears getting her own copy of "Femme Fatale"! Follow us @hollywoodcrush to get even more celebrity and pop culture news around the clock!
