"Blue Crush" is back, and this time the film's leading ladies are hitting the waves in South Africa.
It's been nine years since the first "Blue Crush" flick introduced us to the competitive aspects of female surfing (and, of course, Kate Bosworth), and now Hollywood Crush is bringing you an EXCLUSIVE look at the upcoming home video sequel. Featuring an all-new cast, including Sasha Jackson, Sharni Vinson ("Step Up 3D") and Elizabeth Mathis, the clip reminds us why we loved the first movie so much: all that epic surfing.

Now that I've had some time to process the surprise "Hunger Games" movie casting of Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth as Peeta Mellark and Gale Hawthorne, I am VERY curious to see who director Gary Ross taps to fill out the rest of the cast.
Luckily, for me and all of my fellow fans, Entertainment Weekly broke the news today that Hollywood newcomers Dayo Okeniyi and Amandla Stenberg have been cast as District 11 tributes Thresh and Rue. (Also check out this nifty graphic that's been added to The Hunger Games Facebook page.)

There's no denying Robert Pattinson has a certain something. Experts have tried to pinpoint the precise formula for his unique brand of awesome (unkempt hair + self-effacing personality = the man of our dreams?), but the magical recipe continues to allude. Being the benevolent blog that we are, we decided to aid the scientific community by asking someone who's got loads of personal insight—"Water for Elephants" costume designer Jacqueline West.
You see, Jacqueline gave Rob his favorite pair of 1930s underpants (no really, read all about it), and we figured, who better than the woman who dressed him (figuratively at least!) to give us some dish. Jacqueline spoke to us about Rob's cool style off set and how his physique was different than what she expected after seeing "Twilight."

Over the weekend, celebrities of all sorts settled into the uncomfortably warm temperatures of India, California, to check out buzz bands and headlining acts at the Coachella music festival, where artists like Arcade Fire, Kanye West, Kings of Leon and The Strokes took the stage. The event also gave celebrities the opportunity to don their best desert wear, which with temperatures into the 100s, was focused on cool and comfortable.
Lea Michele went short and sweet in her little, stripped polo dress, while Katy Perry went pinup chic in her big, white glasses and black and red checker print top. Rihanna wore her bright red hair big and loose and paired her denim shorts with a black tank and military jacket.

"Hellcats" star Ashley Tisdale recently stripped away her squeaky clean image—literally—in the May issue of Allure magazine. The 25-year-old posed nude for the provocative shoot, proving to her fans she is no longer Sharpay Evans but a mature woman.
"Being in this shoot was me saying, 'I’m not just the young girl everybody thinks I am. I’m actually a woman,'" she told the magazine.
So what do her fellow "High School Musical" castmates think? We caught up with "HSM" alum Corbin Bleu recently at Gatorade's G-Series FIT Launch Event, and we have to say, he was completely shocked!
"What?! I did not hear about this, are you kidding me?" he exclaimed when we asked what he thought about the photoshoot. "Tis! I gotta see this. Good for you, Tis."

Next year is shaping up to be the year of the YA novel film adaptation (trust us), and while "The Hunger Games," "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and "The Mortal Instruments" have been making headlines of late, things have been relatively quiet regarding production on Taylor Lautner's "Incarceron."
Last we heard, several young ladies were in contention for the female lead, including "Gossip Girl"'s Blake Lively and "Harry Potter"'s Emma Watson. "The Hunger Games"' Jennifer Lawrence was also a rumored front-runner for the role, though she dismissed that speculation while walking the Oscars red carpet.
So, of course, when we sat down with Taylor during our recent "MTV First," we tried to get as much "Incarceron" dish as we could from the star. Which we'll admit, wasn't much (though did sound promising!).
"It's in development," Taylor said. "You know, the script's being worked on right now, and we'll see. I don't know what's going to happen next. I'm kind of just in a waiting period, focusing on 'Breaking Dawn' and 'Abduction' and after that we'll see. Everything's being worked on right now."

Nina Dobrev is taking a break from vampire love squares and sinking her teeth into one of Hollywood Crush's most hotly anticipated projects.
According to Deadline, Nina has scored the role of Candace in the film adaptation of "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," which pretty much means this will be one of the best young adult adaptations ever made (or so we imagine). "Percy Jackson and the Olympians"' Logan Lerman and "Harry Potter"'s Emma Watson have already signed on for the two lead roles, and "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World"'s Mae Whitman has come on board in a smaller part.
This isn't Nina's first post-"Vampire Diaries" film, but it certainly is the one we're most excited for. She's also attached to the Samuel L. Jackson-starring "The Killing Game," where she gets to work alongside "Twilight"'s Kellan Lutz.

The final film in the "Twilight Saga" won't be released until 2012, but as of today, star Robert Pattinson can hang up his vampire mantle: After three years as the brooding Edward Cullen, he's finally wrapped filming on "Breaking Dawn." So when we caught up with Rob at the premiere of his period drama "Water for Elephants," we had to ask: What happened on the "Twilight" set after the last scene was shot? Did he weep? Cheer? Bid a soulful, oratory farewell to the project that launched his career?
The answer: none of the above.
"It was a mad rush to get here!" Rob said with a laugh. "I was leaving at, like, one o'clock in the morning."
