Victoria Justice treated fans to an "iParty with Victorious" over the weekend, and now the teen star is ready to have a bit more fun in her big screen flick, "Fun Size"—the film is Victoria's first leading lady big screen role!
"I just booked my first lead role in a feature film," she explained to MTV News. "It's like a coming of age story; kind of like 'Superbad' meets 'Adventures in Babysitting.' I actually leave tomorrow [she told us last week] for Ohio for two months. I'm excited."

It's been a long, deceit-less three months since Rosewood's Pretty Little Liars graced our television screen, and all this honesty has nearly killed us! Thankfully, we can now count the hours (instead of weeks and months) until the second season premiere tomorrow!
So what can we expect when "Pretty Little Liars" returns to ABC Family? Here's the scoop straight from star Troian Bellisario (a.k.a. Spencer Hastings):
"It starts up exactly where we left off," she dished. "The girls are outside the church, and Ian is dead. Or is he? And the same thing—a lot of mystery, a lot of romance, a lot of crazy things happen."
When our intrepid reporter Kara Warner pressed as to what types of crazy things will transpire, Troian gave us an unexpected answer.

With the "Breaking Dawn" publicity machine stretching its legs and rubbing the sleep out of its eyes in anticipation of part one of "The Twilight Saga" finale, it stands to reason that stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will soon be spreading vampire love all across this great nation of ours. And, of course, we would be remiss not to throw open the doors of MTV Headquarters and welcome them with open arms (and doggie treats for Bear). And you could just help get them here!
Twitter user @CSI_Robsten created a Twitition this morning to get "Twilight"'s first couple their own MTV First hosted by movies guy Josh Horowitz (in much the same vein as the solo chats he had with Robert and Taylor Lautner recently).
As of press time, the petition had just under 2,000 signatures, but we think the "Twilight" nation can totally do better than that. Head on over to the Twitition to add your John Hancock and let Summit Entertainment know you'd like Rob and Kristen to grace the MTV studio with their presence.
In the meantime, click on the video above to watch a clip from MTV First: Robert Pattinson.
Are you going to sign the Twitition?

If you're looking for a Girl Crush, you need look no further than the estrogen-fest that is the Kardashian residence. We're pretty sure it's impossible to squeeze that many strong-willed ladies under one roof and not evoke a healthy helping of girl power. Believe it or not, we've been keeping up with these kickass siblings for six seasons now, but don't think that becoming wives and mothers would steal any of the sisters' trademark spunk. They've still got it—so much so, in fact, that we've dubbed the Kardashians this week's Girl Crushes.
When we caught up with Khloe and Kourtney to give them the good news, Khloe was all for the girl-centric title.
"I think it’s always really flattering when anybody has a crush on you, and I think women are so critical of themselves and each other that for a girl to have a crush on another girl, I love that girl power, and we’re all about sisterhood so I really do love when people say that," she said. "I mean guys will sleep with anything, so for a girl to say that, it means that much more."

Trying to get Robert Pattinson to host "Saturday Night Live" next season might be a bit like trying to make fetch happen. (Shout out to the "Mean Girls" fans out there!) But that doesn't mean we aren't gunning for it anyway. And it seems that—like Jason Sudeikis, who recently made us all giggle as the MTV Movie Awards host—Kenan Thompson is also petitioning to get the "Breaking Dawn" star on the show.
"That would be awesome," he told us at the "iParty With Victorious" bash, adding that he'd also be into Kristen Stewart stopping by. "They'd have to do whatever we asked them to do… it's usually great when people get into it."
(If Rob needs some more encouragement, Jason had these kind words for him: "We got you, buddy. You'll be fine. Hold on to me tightly. We'll take you through the forest of 'SNL.'")

Ever since filming wrapped on the eighth and final film in the "Harry Potter" franchise, we've been dying to see where its three leading actors would end up next. But while Daniel Radcliffe is lighting up Broadway, and Rupert Grint is... well, Rupert Grint-ing around somewhere, it's Emma Watson who's far and away the one to watch. Finally finished with all things "Potter"-related, and now wrapping work on "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," Emma took time off from her busy schedule to grace the cover of this month's Vogue, do an ultra-glam, vamped-up photo shoot with Mario Testino and open up about where she's headed next.
The thing that comes through most in Emma's emotional and revealing interview is how much she's still trying to figure things out, even though she's one of the most promising and powerful young people in the entertainment industry.
"I have had no control over my life, I have lived in a complete bubble," she said of the decade that followed her casting in the role of Hermione Granger. "They found me and picked me for the part. And now I’m desperately trying to find my way through it."

Emma Roberts may be learning "The Art of Getting By" in her new indie, which we got a first look at during MTV News' Sneak Peak Week last week, but she's now in the thick of filming her next flick, the romantic comedy "Celeste and Jesse Forever."
The film centers around a divorcing couple (played by the always funny Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg) who are trying to work out the logistics of their relationship as they date other people. Emma plays a pop star who hires Rashida to revamp her image.
"Right now I'm doing a romantic comedy called 'Celeste and Jesse Forever,' and I'm obsessed with both of them," she said of her funny co-stars. "And I'm playing a pop star… Everyone in the movie is hilarious; it’s a great group to get to work with."

Fellow "True Blood" fans: We all know that #WaitingSucks. That's HBO's clever tagline for all of us suffering from major Bon Temps longings, in case you're not already familiar. Although the premiere is still a couple weeks away (June 26, to be exact), lucky for you and me, HBO has gifted us with the most wonderful treat for those most in need of a "True Blood" fix: an EXCLUSIVE video message from Ryan Kwanten!!
Click on the clever video below and prepare to delighted.
First, it must be noted that instead of hearing Ryan deliver his syrupy Louisiana drawl, we get to hear his much more swoonworthy Australian accent.
"If you tell your girlfriend you don't mind that she's a werepanther and you love her all the same, you're probably crazy," Ryan says to camera in the opening lines of the video. "And you are definitely suffering from TBW: True Blood Withdrawal."

As fans of Richelle Mead's "Vampire Academy" series count down the weeks until the August 23 release of spin-off novel "Bloodlines," we've had plenty of other Richelle goodies to tide us over.
In addition to her wildly popular stories of vampire royalty and bodyguards-in-training, she's written two series for adults: the "Succubus" books about a very reluctant employee of hell who would rather be a regular girl managing a bookstore; and her "Dark Swan" novels, about freelance shaman Eugenie Markham, whose job banishing demons and spirits from our world leads her to a dark secret about her own relationship with the fairy world. The first "Dark Swan" book, "Storm Born" is being adapted into comic book form, and right after the release of the first issue last week, she got on the phone to chat with Hollywood Crush. (Come back next week for news on "Bloodlines" and the "Vampire Academy" movie.)
(Click on the image above to see our entire "Dark Swan" flipbook!)
"Before they even started scripting and drawing for the whole story, they were sending preliminary sketches, asking, 'Does this look right for the character?'" Richelle said of the collaboration for Sea Lion Books. "So we were able to make sure they came out as close as possible from my head, which isn't ever entirely possible."
And for the uninitiated, the images that come out of Richelle's head aren't your run-of-the-mill fantasy stories—there's plenty of humor and sex in the mix, as Eugenie battles otherworldly creatures, and not much has been cut or sanitized for the comic book readers. Issue 1 starts off with the shaman banishing a spirit from a sneaker and ends with her wild encounter with a handsome stranger from out of town.
