You guys, after today there are only two more episodes of "The Vampire Diaries" left this season, and we are well...freaking out. We've already watched tonight's preview about 100 times to try to figure out what could happen but, alas, the twists and turns of "TVD" always allude us. Luckily, we've at least got this EXCLUSIVE new behind-the-scenes photo of Stefan and Elena from tonight's "Last Day" to work with.

Much like the still we shared with you a couple weeks ago, Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) look all angsty and dramatic, which leaves us wondering WHAT IS GOING ON IN MYSTIC FALLS? No really, can someone please tell us now? Right. We didn't think so.

Anyway, to get us through our own personal angst until the episode airs, we've come up with a list of theories about what the two are discussing in the photo above. Let us know if you think any of them could be a possibility.

Whoa, it's Harry Potter and the End of Our Childhood. Seriously, I challenge you to watch the new trailer for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" and not get chills. Go on, I dare you.

The franchise, which has played out in theaters over the course of a solid decade, will finally come to an end this summer when "Deathly Hallows: Part 2" opens on July 15. This is the moment that the last 10 years of stalking Fandango for tickets and getting in line (in costume!) at 4 p.m. for the midnight showing were all leading up to. Not that, you know, we actually did any of those things... But if we had, this trailer would have completely validated all prior nerdiness.

In a word, it's epic—from the opening seconds, which play the all-too-familiar theme in broken, slow beats to the intense Harry and Voldemort battle scenes. Fair warning for those who have read the book, however: We get to hear Harry's famous, "I never wanted any of you to die for me" line. And be prepared for some major heart-wrenching from that moment forward whenever you see a character you know isn't going to survive the Battle of Hogwarts.

Here are some spoiler-free moments highlighted in the trailer that really slap you in the face and say, "Hey! This is the end of Harry Potter!"

We've still got months and months to go before "Breaking Dawn" hits theaters, and fans are starting to salivate for some behind-the-scenes scoop on this year's most epic vampire romance. Well, gird your loins, fans! Because Entertainment Weekly has a big, honking first look at the upcoming films in this week's issue—complete with exclusive photos from the set, cast interviews and a pair of gorgeous covers that will soon be doubling as wallpaper in the bedrooms of "Twilight" lovers everywhere. (And by "'Twilight' lovers," we mean, "us." And by "bedrooms," we mean, "every room in the house, including the shower.")

Inside the mag, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner open up about the challenges of filming the intense final chapter of the saga (the money quote from KStew: "I would have loved to be puking up blood!"). And on the EW site, you can get a sneak peek of some exclusive stills from the movie—including a first look at the saucy minxes of the Denali coven and a shot of Bella and Edward chowing on some post-sexytime breakfast. Man, that's delicious! Oh, and the eggs don't look so bad, either.

The early verdict is in on NBC's sing competition series "The Voice": a resounding "yay!" With vocal coaches like Christina Aguilera (pictured), Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green, it's probably not too shocking that the show is worth a watch. What's more surprising: It's already being hailed as better than reigning king of the singing show, "American Idol." Blake Shelton responded to a tweet from Us Weekly that suggested fan support is higher for the newbie show. "@usweekly: Looks like most of our readers prefer #TheVoice over #AmericanIdol! http://t.co/OtWzXyL" Your readers are so smart!!" Coach Christina praised the contestants, saying, "More and more blown away by these auditions! Proud of the team I’ve got behind me! #TheVoice." And YouTube sensation Rebecca Black made time to tune in. "Watched #thevoice last night. I thought it was great!(: What did you guys think?"

The voices on NBC aren't the only ones warming up to wow. If the number of "OMG I'm in rehearsals!" tweets are any indication, there won't be a shortage of showstopping singing and dancing in the near future. "Degrassi:The Next Generation" actress and singer Andrea Lewis was all about rehearsals —like times three, tweeting, "Rehearsals, Rehearsals, REHEARSALS!" Josh Groban decided to make practice interactive, giving fans a chance to take a peek at his rehearsal process. "Behind the scenes at tour music rehearsal! (my hair will be tamed for actual show) http://t.co/7PxnK5M #straighttoyoutour #seeyouthere."

Listen, we know there are probably a few dark, handsome dudes in Hollywood right now that are really piquing your interest, but we have to give props to Thomas McDonell. The "Prom" star is pretty much Johnny Depp's much-younger twin. That alone is enough reason to name him this week's Hump Day Hottie.

Check out the dreamy video below, then keep reading for more details about him!

Vital stats: Well, it seems that Thomas comes from one very interesting family. His older brother penned the novel-turned-movie, "Twelve," about wealthy Manhattan teens. In a chat with Interview magazine in 2010, the then 22-year-old, New York native opened up about his love of the arts. Also, in our studies, we learned that Thomas even studied art at NYU.

"I was working for a gallery in the West Village, but I just sort of stopped," he said. "Now I’m working on my own things, painting mostly."

It's a good time to be Chris Colfer. The 20-year-old stars on one of the biggest TV shows out there—"Glee"—which he won a Golden Globe for, and he just began work on a new TV show for Disney called "The Little Leftover Witch."

The actor-turned-writer (who also recently penned a feature called "Struck By Lightning") talked to MTV News about working behind-the-scenes in Hollywood while walking the carpet at the Time 100 Gala in New York City.

"Words out on that," he said about the Disney show. "Yes, I never really wanted to pursue [being a writer]; it kind of fell into my lap, luckily. My friend had the rights to a children's book [and] asked me to adapt it to screenplay, and I did and very quickly and Disney bought that and asked me to adapt it into a TV show. So that’s what I'm doing now. I was always very much a hidden writer, and I never really wanted to talk about it."

Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.

Forget St. Thomas. The new, hot location for celeb spotting this week is Germany. Fresh off "Breaking Dawn" re-shoots, Mr. Robert Bedhead Pattinson made a stop in Berlin earlier today at the Hotel de Rome for a "Water for Elephants" photocall. Or as the German call it, "Wasser fuer die Elefanten"...uh...photocall.

The heartthrob—clad casually in a steel-colored button-down and dark pants—mugged with co-star Christoph Waltz and director Francis Lawrence at the event, which preceded the German premiere later today. (Happening right this very minute, actually, if my time zone calculations are correct!)

Today in news that makes us feel very, very old: 2011 marks the 10-year anniversary of "Moulin Rouge"—a film which earned eight Oscar nominations, introduced the world to the wonders of Ewan McGregor's singing voice and made us seriously regret that "19th Century Parisian Singing Hooker" is no longer a viable career option. (So unfair! I would have looked fabulous in a corset.)

BUT! Today in news that makes us squeal with delight: On Monday, May 2, MTV News will celebrate the 10th birthday of this glorious film with an exclusive anniversary event! Moulin Rouge At 10: A Spectacular Spectacular MTV News Event will take us back to the elephant-shaped love nest with live interviews, special appearances and an in-depth look at all the ways in which "Moulin Rouge" changed the shape of the modern-day musical. (Hint: If not for this movie, "Glee" would never have come to pass.)

Josh Horowitz will be chatting with director Baz Luhrmann, stars Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor and John Leguizamo and Oscar-winning artistic genius Catherine Martin (who did the costume design and art direction)—and fans can submit their questions on Twitter starting today, using @MTVNews and the #AskMoulin hashtag. Throw your most curious queries our way, and don't forget to tune in next Monday for exciting interviews, cool cultural analysis and lots of showgirls in Victorian-era underwear.


Will you be tuning in for this spectacular (spectacular!) event?

We'll forgive you if you confuse the Gibson Amphitheater for the Studio 8H stage come Sunday, June 5. After all, one of "Saturday Night Live"'s leading funnymen is hosting this year's MTV Movie Awards. Yep...live...from Hollywood...it's Jason Sudeikis!

The "Hall Pass" star has the distinct honor of hosting, this, the 20th annual telecast of the Golden Popcorn-awarding program, and we couldn't be more psyched. (I'll be the first to admit a tiny crush on the always-hilarious Jason). As it turns out, he's pretty enthused about it, as well.

"I'm sincerely flattered that the folks from the Mostly Teenage Viewers network have invited me to host this year and I look forward to keeping the streak of flawless and critically-lauded movie award show hosting in 2011 alive," he said. Aw, thanks, man! Can we put in our request now for a "Scared Straight" sketch co-starring Robert Pattinson? Pretty please?

With summer on the way, we here at Hollywood Crush have spent a lot of time thinking about getting beach-body ready at the gym. Admittedly, our thoughts haven't translated into actions quite yet, but that's only because we're still getting over our winter hibernation phase (totally legit reason!), and we kinda figured everyone else was too. That is until we saw Nina Dobrev's new Seventeen Fitness magazine cover. Let's just say, "fit" is an understatement.

Nina graces the mag (out May 3) in a printed blue bikini and pink cut-off top that shows off her PERFECTLY toned abs. In other words, while we were eating pizza, having cupcakes and basically being all-around lazy, Nina was at the gym shaping up. So. Not. Cool.

"When I work out, I feel happy, confident, and accomplished," Nina told the mag for their first ever fitness special (inadvertently reminding us that the gym CAN be fun).
