If you thought the Royal Wedding was unavoidable the last few weeks, that was nothing compared to the day-of buzz. There were so many #RoyalWedding tweets (both gushing and griping about the big event) that it's a wonder we weren't hit with a Brit-themed Fail Whale, complete with tea and scones. Some celebs, like Kat Graham (pictured), tweeted what they loved about the royal nuptials. Kat was a fan of now-Princess Kate's down-to-earth approach to makeup for the big day. "I love that Kate Middleton did her own makeup for her wedding...," she tweeted. Melissa Joan Hart was also a fan of the ceremony, tweeting, "Grace Kelly and Princess Diana are very strongly felt at this royal wedding! I wish them both love and joy for decades to come!"

Besides a wedding, there's at least one other great excuse in a girl's life to dress like a princess: prom. The Disney movie of the same name opened today, and it's not just the teen audience that's excited for the flick. Singer-rapper Travie McCoy, whose song is featured in the film, urged fans to hit up opening night. "Can't make it to see me play at Bamboozle tonight? You can always go hear "We'll Be Alright" in PROM in theaters today! http://bit.ly/gK8NQZ."

Check out the rest of Friday's best Royal Wedding tweets, including who has her eyes on Prince Harry! Follow us @hollywoodcrush to get even more celebrity and pop culture news around the clock!

Grab your frouffiest dress and stretchiest limo because it's "Prom" time! Disney's big-screen foray into high school's IMPORTANTEST NIGHT opens today, and we decided to celebrate by asking some of our fave celebrities to dish their prom memories.

"My favorite prom memory was probably going shopping for a dress, and our boyfriends at the time dressed up as 'Dumb & Dumber,'" former "Hills" star Audrina Patridge told us. "And so we were like, 'We can't dress up dorky ... we have to look good.'"

Yes, we know, there's no bigger style news today than Kate Middleton's positively royal wedding ensemble (the girl looked gorg), but since Kate (and her dress) are getting plenty of attention we figured we'd shine the spotlight on some other deserving style stars. After all, while Kate might just be the most stylish bride of them all, her wedding to Prince William wasn't the only big event this week. The "Bridesmaids" (not the kind in Kate's wedding party!) cast also made an impressive showing at the red carpet premiere of their film, while celebs at the Billboard Latin Music Awards turned up the heat. Check out "Bridesmaid" Rose Byrne and the very bright Cuban star AAylín Mújica below to see who made the cut as this week's Style Superstar.

We've got to admit, all the "Bridesmaids" ladies looked pretty great at the premiere of their film, but our favorite was undoubtedly Rose Byrne, who arrived in a pink and black Prabal Gurung dress, which she paired with a red clutch (love the contrast!) and black peep-toe shoes. We adored the polished and feminine look and thought the hairstyle (which was heavy on the bangs but otherwise pulled back) was the perfect complement to her attire.

The "Hunger Games" arena is filling up faster than ever! This week, six new tributes were reaped, including those from District 5 who were announced today. Jackie Emerson will play Foxface, who doesn't speak in the books but stands out to Katniss in the arena, while Chris Mark will play District 5's boy tribute. Lionsgate's Facebook roster of tributes still has several empty slots to keep us guessing, including District 2's Cato and Clove.

While District 3 and District 4 also had their reapings this week, the biggest casting news by far was the confirmation of Elizabeth Banks as District 12 escort Effie Trinket. Elizabeth, who has expressed some avid "Hunger Games" fandom of her own, confirmed her role via Twitter yesterday, and fan response was instant and intense. Unlike other big casting decisions for the film, which have been met with mixed feelings from the novel's fanbase, support for Elizabeth was overwhelming.

It's wedding mania today at Hollywood Crush! Once we were able to tear ourselves away from the Royal Wedding madness, we snagged a look at an EXCLUSIVE photo from the upcoming flick "Love, Wedding, Marriage."

In the new romantic comedy, Kellan Lutz plays a man who is about to get hitched to a marriage counselor (played by Mandy Moore). But, if you've seen the trailer, you know that things get a bit crazy! On the eve of their wedding, the best man drops the bomb that Kellan had a previous wedding, a little piece of information that Mandy—who is already dealing with her parents' impending split and her sister's (Jessica Szohr) woes—hadn't known before!

Still, we think that a happily every after is in the cards for this movie couple, as evidenced by Hollywood Crush's EXCLUSIVE still from the movie. Check out Kellan looking happy and handsome, and most importantly, sporting a wedding ring! Perhaps having a nice moment with his new bride, he is seen smiling and gazing off to the side.

"Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev may be hanging up her leather jacket and Katherine fangs for the summer, but she's not leaving teen angst behind. The 22-year-old actress recently signed on to play high school senior Candace in the big-screen adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," alongside Emma Watson and Logan Lerman. And as you can probably guess, we just had to get the scoop on the production when we sat down to chat with Nina yesterday.

"I get to Pittsburgh next week, and I start filming in about a week-and-a-half, two weeks," Nina dished. And although she's currently in the middle of reading the book, she told us that fans need not fret over whether the movie will closely reflect the source material.

In case you've missed the trailers and TV spots, there's a wholesome little movie called "Prom" out today, starring an ensemble cast of mostly up-and-coming actors, save for Aimee Teegarden of "Friday Night Lights" fame. Though Aimee gets the bulk of screen time playing prom-planning heroine Nova Prescott, the one character I really loved was hopelessly romantic, slightly nerdy, super-nice guy Lloyd (played by Nicholas Braun). Again, if you've seen the trailers, he's the one who spends the whole movie asking a bunch of different girls to the big dance (and being rejected).

When I caught up with Nicholas and his co-stars Joe Adler and Janelle Ortiz, we discussed the fun in playing the guy who never gets the girl.

"I just love playing a guy who gets rejected," Nicholas admitted. "I just, it’s fun. You know, it’s not necessarily art imitating life, but it is fun to be rejected over and over, take after take and just let it burn."

Oh, Anne Hathaway, there you go downplaying your classic beauty yet again. From "The Princess Diaries" to "The Devil Wears Prada," Anne has long been Hollywood's go-to gal when a Plain Jane needs to jump from the page to the screen. Now she does it again in "One Day," in which she plays awkward leading lady Emma Morley. Some fans of the book even complained when Anne was cast, calling her "too pretty" for the role (maybe she and Jennifer Lawrence should share a rant about the woes of being too attractive to please book-loving fans).

It's hard to worry about what Anne looks like, though, when she's sharing the screen with Jim Sturgess (excuse us while we swoon). In the film, Anne and Jim play University of Edinburgh classmates (that's right: Anne's whipping out the British accent), who spend graduation night together. She's all kinds of awkward, he's all kinds of dashing and the story follows their on-and-off relationship for 20 years, told only by where they are on the anniversary of the graduation night tryst.

Hollywood Crush loves a good book—and so do moviemakers, seeing as more than a few of our favorite reads are headed for the silver screen. With so many adaptations in the works, keeping the ol' reading list current is harder than ever, which is where CrushNotes comes in! We give you the low-down on books before they hit the big screen.

Who needs something old and something new, when you've got the film adaptation of "Something Borrowed" hitting theaters in a week?! On May 6, fans of Emily Giffin's 2005 novel about the complexities of love and friendship will finally get to see their favorite characters come to life on the big screen. It's not often you read a book where you're rooting for a girl who has just slept with her best friend's fiance (and trust us when we say you will), but then again, this isn't your run-of-the-mill "chick lit." Here's what you should know about the page-turner before the movie comes to theaters next Friday!

After months of speculation and headlines, today the world found out just who Kate Middleton had picked as her royal wedding dress designer. Kate looked sleek and sophisticated in an Alexander McQueen gown—designed by Sarah Burton, the label's creative director—when she married Prince William in Westminster Abbey.

An official statement from the royal family sums up why Kate chose the forward-thinking, U.K.-based fashion house, crediting it for combining "tradition and modernity with the artistic vision that characterizes ... McQueen's work." Sarah joined Alexander McQueen in 1997 and took over the brand's designing duties in 2010, after McQueen's unexpected death in February.

The Duchess of Cambridge joins a long list of celebrities who have donned McQueen for important public events. Here are some of our favorites:
