Hollywood Crush ›

In just one more day, Hollywood Crush will debut the trailer for the brand-new, fleet-footed, singing and dancing extravaganza of the "Footloose" reboot. But before we kick off our Sunday shoes and start yelling, "Everybody cut, EVERYBODY CUT!" we're teasing our way up to the big reveal with EXCLUSIVE photos from the film! Friday brought us a steamy look at Kenny Wormald and Julianne Hough getting pelvis-to-pelvis on the dance floor—and today, we've got another sneak peek at a moment between co-stars. Except without all the erotic undertones.

Here's Miles Teller, standing in a crowded hallway and extending a hand to Kenny Wormald—who's giving the outstretched palm an inscrutable look in return (and giving us flashbacks to the 1980s original; dude looks awfully Kevin Bacon-y from this particular angle!). Is that fear and loathing in his eyes? Or is it the urge to dance?

We've been studying up on "The Art of Getting By" since the coming-of-age tale first flickered across a big screen in January. Back then, at the Sundance Film Festival, the Emma Roberts-starring indie was called "Homework," though anyone who uses the film's early scenes as a guide to life, love and academics would end up looking a bit foolish.

The movie stars Roberts as a popular yet disillusioned high school senior who forms an unlikely bond with Freddie Highmore's artistic outcast. He teaches her how to slack off, she basically declares herself open to a romantic advance, and still the twosome can't quite come together. Awkwardness and adorableness ensue in equal parts.

MTV News ended up debuting the first trailer, after Fox Searchlight snapped up the film at Sundance. And earlier this month, we held a sneak-peek screening of the full film a few days before the MTV Movie Awards. After the showing, during a livestream Q&A with Roberts and her castmates, the young actress revealed that while she connected deeply with her character (writer/director Gavin Wiesen based many of them on his own life), there was at least one moment on set that she loathed at the time and continues to cringe over to this day.

The conventional wisdom is that "summer beach reads" are light, fluffy, easy-to-read novels you don't have to think too hard about while UV rays melt your brain cells. Purely based on the title and a first glimpse at the cover of Libba Bray's "Beauty Queens," I thought it would fit that category (even though that doesn't jibe with Libba's previous works). As someone who used to read Tolstoy on my summer breaks, I am pleased to report that I was wrong.

The story of a group of Miss Teen Dream contestants stranded on a supposedly deserted island after a plane crash is too rich with layers of meaning to be a super-easy speed-read. But it's too funny and uplifting not to pack next to your sun block and big straw hats.

The plot has been described as "Lord of the Flies" with pageant girls, which pretty much covers it, up until it actually becomes "Team America: World Police" with pageant girls. But what turns this into a totally unique story that you want to tell all your friends about isn't the premise, it's the characters. Without further ado, I'll introduce my faves:

Some late breaking engagement news for your Friday, Gleeks! Show creator Ryan Murphy is engaged! He shared the news with Ryan Seacrest on his radio show on Friday.

"I'm with a great fellow now who I've known for 15 years," he said. "We just got engaged, and I'm very excited about it!"

First off, we send our congratulations to Ryan! This is very exciting news. And we're thinking if he needs a wedding band, he has his choice of great singers from his Fox series. So, in honor of the happy news, we've come up with a little wedding set list that he might consider for the big day.

It's pretty much the battle of the blonds at the box office this month as Blake Lively's "Green Lantern" (which opens today) prepares to take on Cameron Diaz's "Bad Teacher" (hitting theaters June 24th). Blake and Cam are kind of our faves, and they've done an awesome job getting us excited about their flick these past few weeks. The two ladies have stepped out on countless red carpets and photocalls in support of their films, and they've been rocking some great looks too. Of course, when you're rushing from one event to another you're bound to make a fashion flub or two. Keep reading to find out which leading lady was flawless throughout, and which one needed a slight wardrobe revision.

Girls take note: You don't have to be over the top and fully decked out to earn top style accolades. Cameron was spot-on at a photocall for her new movie "Bad Teacher" (co-starring ex Justin Timberlake) in a linen dress, which she accessorized with a brown belt and matching shoes. The look was laid back but so well put together (and very easily replicable for all the burgeoning fashionistas out there), and for that she's this week's Style Superstar.

This isn't your mom and dad's "Footloose"! While we certainly have a fondness for the 1984 original with Kevin Bacon (and Sarah Jessica Parker!) we are already loving how the remake, which hits theaters October 14, looks. Check out our EXCLUSIVE picture of Julianne Hough pulling her co-star Kenny Wormald in close for a smoldering on-screen moment together. Warning: Your computer may melt from all the hotness!

Dying for more? Well, you're in luck! We'll be debuting the first trailer next Tuesday, June 21!

Though summer break has officially begun for most high-schoolers around the country, there's one kid who still has a lot of work to do. In "The Art of Getting By," Freddie Highmore stars as fatalistic teen George, whose penchant for not completing assignments finally catches up to him come graduation time. Can he complete a year's worth of homework in three weeks?

The movie (which hits theaters today) co-stars Emma Roberts and Michael Angarano, and in celebration, we're giving our readers a chance to win one of three pretty awesome prize packs, which include one $100 American Express gift card, one copy of "The Art of Getting By" soundtrack (from Rhino Records) and one "The Art of Getting By" poster signed by Freddie and Emma.

It's been a month and a half since the release of the first "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" trailer, and we still get chills every time we watch it. So we're giving you fair warning (GOOSEBUMP ALERT!): Warner Brothers has released another trailer to obsess over!

This sneak peek is full of explosions, knights, nostalgia, Death Eaters, betrayal, spells and, of course, our favorite dynamic trio: Harry, Ron and Hermione. Here are the three best NEW scenes that'll have you watching this trailer on repeat until July 15:

We don't pull any punches here at MTV News. Especially when it comes to rippling stomach muscles. In the latest installment of our After Hours, host Josh Horowitz runs "Green Lantern" stars Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively through a dizzying battery of questionable queries in "The Yes/No Show." (You may recall the awkward results of our last "Yes/No Show" with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt in which we found out whether Matt has ever seen Ben Affleck's, uh, little gigli.)

Thankfully, the only piece of male anatomy in question this time is located above the belt. And what a fine piece it is. After asking about Serena van der Woodsen's "stupid name," Josh turns his gaze to Ryan asking, "Do you think your abs are better than Ryan Gosling's?"

Are you a nerdy Hermione lover? Do you crack up at every Weasley twin gag? Are you looney for Luna? Or are you more of a classicist, favoring boy hero Harry Potter? Or maybe you proudly wear the dark mark and villains are your thing. Whoever your favorite resident of the wizarding realm is, now is the time to make that love known with our Harry Potter World Cup.

As the end of "Harry Potter" nears (oh crap—the end is so near!), MTV News wants to know who the most beloved "Harry Potter" character is. Don't worry, no dark magic will decide this—just good, old fashioned democracy. Here's how it's going to work: 64 characters, head-to-head in a single elimination bracket (intense as a wizards duel! Okay, well, maybe not that intense, but cool, right?). Voting opens on June 20, and the finalists will be revealed on Monday, July 11—just in time to have a serious battle to the finish before the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" premiere.
