We know you can't wait to see Robert Pattinson romance Reese Witherspoon in "Water for Elephants" this weekend, but have you taken a moment to think about how you're going to deal with all of RPattz's smoldering looks in the film? Seriously, it might just be hotness overload.
Lucky for you, we've been thinking about Rob's styles...a lot (obviously), and we've already got some of our top looks picked out. But which one will his fans love the most? "WFE" costume designer Jacqueline West has an idea.
"Have you seen the poster for the movie where he's standing with Reese—she's in her black evening dress? That outfit on him, I think, looks wonderful," she said. She's referring, of course, to Rob's rugged look (in the poster at right), in which he's wearing a beige shirt, loose trousers and fallen suspenders, while caressing Reese's lower back.

It's been a whirlwind week for "Hunger Games" fans, with nearly every day bringing a new casting announcement for the big-screen adaptation of Suzanne Collins' dystopian thriller. And here's one more piece of news to take us into the weekend: Paula Malcomson has been cast as Katniss and Prim's mother.
The 41-year-old Irish actress is a T.V. vet, having starred in numerous series including "Caprica," "Sons of Anarchy," "John from Cincinnati" and "ER." She also has a few big-screen turns on her resume, with parts in "The Green Mile" and "A.I. Artificial Intelligence."

We've heard plenty of details from Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson about their steamy scenes in the sweeping, circus-centered love story "Water for Elephants," but would you believe that there is yet another lucky lady who got to steal a few kisses from Rob during filming?
Meet lovely actress Donna Scott, who plays saucy burlesque dancer Barbara in the film, and takes it upon herself to deflower Jacob (RPattz), so to speak.
"It wasn’t that much of a stretch for me," Donna told Hollywood Crush about getting into character. "I tend to be somewhat bawdy everyday in my real life, and I’d been doing pole-dancing for a few years," she revealed. "I went in to read for [director] Francis Lawrence and I told him, 'I am a level four pole dancer, and I don’t have a problem learning how to twirl tassels on my boobs for this movie.'"

There are plenty of things we remember vividly about prom night, but the one thing we'd rather forget is the over-the-top (and totally tacky) dress we wore. Seriously, what were we thinking? Luckily, the stars of Disney's "Prom" didn't make the same wardrobe mistakes we did (okay, at least not all of them did) when they hit the red carpet to celebrate the film's premiere yesterday. Our favorite look from the event came courtesy of leading lady Aimee Teegarden, who arrived in an eye-catching gown. But Aimee wasn't the only gal we noticed this week. We looked across the pond and spotted singer Pixie Lott in a hard-to-miss gown. Check out both ladies and let us know if you agree with our picks for this week's best and worst dressed!
If we were basing it on the dress alone (the hair-do's kinda ho-hum), Aimee was definitely our "Prom" premiere queen. We loved her shimmering, strapless silver Pamela Rowland gown and thought it hit just the right note between elegant and youthful.

Robert Pattinson may be the main attraction in the period drama "Water for Elephants" (in theaters today), but his leading lady Reese Witherspoon has owned Hollywood's center stage for years. Giving a wide array of performances (it's rare to find someone who is as equally great at comedy as she is at drama), Reese has all but taken the silver screen by storm. Now the New Orleans-born beauty will be adding another impressive turn to her continually evolving resume. Let's look back at how Reese came to be one of today's biggest stars.
Born Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon on March 22, 1976, no one would have suspected this Southern belle would become an actress. After all, both of her parents worked in the medical field (her father John was a physician and her mother Betty a pediatric nurse). Still, Reese caught the acting bug early. At the age of 14 she she landed her first role, the lead in a coming-of-age drama called "The Man in the Moon."

"Pretty Little Liars" goes "Glee"? Yes, please. It's not a sure thing, but "PLL" creator I. Marlene King hinted to E! Online that our favorite liars might have some singing and dancing in their futures.
"We've actually thought about doing a 'Black Swan' episode because three out of the four Pretty Little Liars are ballet dancers," she told E! "We're thinking of maybe incorporating that into the show. They also all sing. They're multi-talented."
What would get the residents of Rosewood singing and dancing? Maybe a directive from A (sample text: "Sing, bitches. - A")? Whatever the reason, the ladies of "Liars" certainly have a lot to get off their chests, so why not bare all, musical style? But what songs could possibly summarize their secrets? We just so happen to have the sample soundtrack. Sure, it's a soundtrack that we totally made up, but so what? It's totally normal to invent karaoke set lists for your favorite shows...right?

When faced with the question of why I’m so obsessed with "The Vampire Diaries," I usually start explaining the intricate mythology: There’s this boring chick who’s actually the doppelganger of this awesome (but totally evil) chick, and these two vampire brothers were in love with both chicks, but now just the boring one, and they’re trying to save the boring one from the oldest vampire of all time, who’s trying to sacrifice her to break some really old curse that involves a power struggle with werewolves. Yeah, there are werewolves! And witches! And no, my brain is not full of mush and I graduated from college and am able to hold intelligent conversations.
To prove this, I refine my explanation. I'm a history and literature junkie, and so I’m interested in origins and character development. And vampires have hundreds (sometimes thousands!) of years of history and character development. What could be better?! The fact that they’re usually hot, and witty, and wear really cool clothes (REALLY COSTUME DESIGNER? YOU PUT KLAUS IN A LEATHER JACKET IN 1492? HE LOOKED AWESOME, BUT IT’S FREAKING 1492 AND YOUR LEATHER OBSESSION IS BECOMING RIDICULOUS AND SCREWING UP MY SENSE OF TIME AND PLACE.)
So naturally, I watch the show for the flashbacks. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FLASHBACKS. AND KATHERINE. WHO IS INTRICATELY TIED TO EVERY FLASHBACK. Thus, this episode, along with "Katerina," was my most anticipated viewing session of the series. And besides the fact that they didn’t give me nearly enough flashback, its revelations didn’t disappoint. In case you don’t agree, you will be persuaded by my fancy-shmancy list below. Because lists (especially when fancy-shmancy) are always more persuasive and better and (let’s face it) more likely to be read than paragraphs.

Big-voiced Brit Adele just broke records in the UK (she's now tied with Dido for second fastest-selling album, with two million copies sold in just 87 days), and she's also getting a lot of love on this side of the pond. Everyone from Donald Faison to Abigail Breslin (pictured) was tweeting her praises today. Donald declared Adele's disc the soundtrack to his life, tweeting, "I know I'm late... But ADELE your album is the new sound track to my life. Wonderful! OMG wonderful!!" And Abigail declared Adele's "Someone Like You" her song of the day and professed her love for the album as a whole, saying, "Song of the day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_Zs7XS3XUo loving Adele's album '21'."
Meanwhile, the cast of "Community" was pretty pumped about tonight's flashback episode. Danny Pudi called the upcoming ep one of the best yet, tweeting, "Tonight's Community (8/7c NBC) is a laughter festival. Easily one of the most fun episodes to read and shoot. Hope you enjoy it!" Co-star Alison Brie didn't think that was quite enthusiastic enough, however, insisting, "Tonight's #NBCCommunity is going to ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!! Not knock them off, but straight up ROCK them off. I'm really excited about it."
Check out the rest of Thursday's best tweets, including which "Twilight" actor has been too busy to be bored lately. Follow us @hollywoodcrush to get even more celebrity and pop culture news around the clock!

If you've seen the "Water for Elephants" trailer (who are we kidding? of course you have!), you've probably noticed that unlike most (if not all) of her previous films, Reese Witherspoon spends a lot of time in revealing costumes.
So why the change of heart (and wardrobe)? Apparently Reese just couldn't resist Jacqueline West's beautiful costumes. When we spoke to the costume designer recently, we asked how she managed to persuade the star to slip into the various looks in the film (beautiful as they may be).
"I didn't have to convince her," Jacqueline replied. "In fact, you know these '30s gowns, you can really wear nothing under them and she was so game to do that. She was such a great sport, and I think when she signed on to play this character she knew."
Jacqueline stressed that the costumes, while revealing, were true the time.
