Hollywood Crush ›

"The Twilight Saga" has not only busted box-office records, but it's also produced a trio of soundtracks that have predictably lived at the top of the charts. So while we're eagerly anticipating the series' closing cinematic chapters, we're also itching for a new, neatly wrapped package of ear candy as well.

Some good news for you fellow soundtrackphiles: When we caught up with "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" director Bill Condon at San Diego Comic-Con, he revealed that one of the film's stars will likely grace the soundtrack! Though, unsurprisingly, he wouldn't divulge who.

Now, in my mind, there are two main contenders for this honor: Robert Pattinson and Jackson Rathbone. Considering what Bill had to say about his vision for the finale ("I always thought of 'Breaking Dawn - Part 1' as a real companion piece to Catherine Hardwicke's movie... I think you'll find that there are stylistic and other nods to that film."), I'm leaning towards Rob. As you'll recall, the dreamboat had two moody numbers featured on the "Twilight" soundtrack, so if we're coming full circle...

Though co-star Jackson certainly shouldn't be counted out just yet. Jasper Hale's alter ego is part of the very real, very playful band 100 Monkeys, and he told us recently of the band's likelihood of appearing on the soundtrack, "it could happen."

But let's not forget dark horse Kristen Stewart. The starlet already has one soundtrack to her name—2010's "The Runaways," in which she plays (and sings as) rock goddess Joan Jett. Perhaps Bella has one angsty number inside of her? (Or maybe not...)

Of course, we can't completely eliminate the idea of an out-of-left-field pick like Ashley Greene or Kellan Lutz, but that seems pretty unlikely, don't you think?

So it's your turn, Crushers. Who do you think should appear on the "Breaking Dawn" soundtrack? Vote in our poll after the jump!

That stealthy bitch A was right about one thing on last night's "Pretty Little Liars": It's going to be much easier antagonizing the liars now that two of them live under one roof.

Emily's mom officially defected to the land of cowboy boots and bolo ties, leaving Em to finish off the school year in Rosewood while living with Hanna and her mom. All of this upheaval (and a new workout regimen) only earned Emily a sore shoulder. (Should we place bets now as to which upcoming episode Emily will bumble the swim meet because of her pesky pain?) Yet, always-polite Emily thanked her surrogate family by cooking them a scrumptious-looking egg-white omelet breakfast. Em, you can be my house guest any time!

Now that its approximately four hundred bajillion casting announcements are out of the way, things are in full swing for Garry Marshall's "New Year's Eve"! And the massive ensemble comedy has just released its first teaser trailer, with a blink-and-you'll-miss-it mashup of... I don't even know, like, 20 different storylines. All of which will undoubtedly converge in a giant, pyrotechnic dance number at the end! Probably! Maybe.

It's hard to keep track of what's what in this rapid-cut extravaganza, but here's what we've got: Ashton Kutcher wearing a sadbeard; Lea Michele doing her best Pollyanna; Sarah Jessica Parker and the Dress of Despair; Katherine Heigl getting slap-happy; Zac Efron playing wish-fulfiller to Michelle Pfeiffer; Josh Duhamel running around in a tux; ummmm something something Halle Berry; and pregnant Jessica Biel. Oh, and Robert De Niro as the erudite grandaddy of all things Auld Acquaintance. Woohoo! (Watch the trailer after the jump!)

When we took an informal straw poll at San Diego Comic-Con asking "Twilight" fans which scenes they were hoping to peek at "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" panel, it came as no surprise that the sex scene was, um, tops. So you better believe when we got face time with the man behind the magic (i.e. director Bill Condon), we peppered him with plenty of questions about the squeal-inducing scenes.

First, we wanted to know who the scenes were more awkward for: him or actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

"It's probably most weird for them, I would imagine," he answered with a laugh. "But the thing is, they're so comfortable with each, so they made the whole thing—it was kind of fun."

If any chica were ever the embodiment of our Girl Crush title, it's certainly Olivia Wilde. Not only is the 27-year-old smoking hot, but she's a humanitarian who also knows how to kick butt, holding her own alongside action-hero veterans Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford in this week's "Cowboys & Aliens." For all of these reasons, we're naming the starlet this week's Girl Crush.

An honor—we should add—Ms. Wilde was flattered to receive. "Oh my god. Thank you," she said in response to the news. "Wow, do I get a plaque or anything?"

Erm, no, but how about a handshake!?

Confession time: We're a little nervous about season three of "Vampire Diaries." We've never been big on change, and with Stefan (Paul Wesley) going to the dark side and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) embracing his inner anti-hero, it's pretty clear that Mystic Falls is about to get a heavy dose of it.

So when we caught up with Nina Dobrev during San Diego Comic-Con, we asked her to weigh in on how she feels about her main men (on screen at least!) switching roles. Luckily, she's handling it a lot better than we are.

"Paul is very happy that Stefan is now going to the bad side," Nina said. "He's really excited about it, and I think it's going to be great for him. He's a very strong actor, so it's awesome."

Taylor Lautner has promised plenty of action and romance in his upcoming thriller "Abduction," and if the latest stills released by Lionsgate don't convince you of the truth in his words, nothing will.

In this first image, Taylor's character Nathan races through a city street on his motorcycle with a look of sheer determination on his face—and love interest Karen (played by Lily Collins) furiously clutching his back (we don't blame her!).

Once word got out about our exclusive Comic-Con Q&A with the cast of "Breaking Dawn," fans took to Twitter in droves to ask for the inside scoop on everything from behind-the-scenes gossip to the vampire stars' preferred brand of body glitter! But when we sat down with Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz, there were two questions that really stood out...and garnered a couple surprising answers.

First on the list: a "Breaking Dawn" blooper reel! Is this an Actual Thing we might see on the DVD?

Sadly, the stars couldn't confirm—but if there is such a reel, Ashley knows exactly which behind-the-scenes shenanigans she'd most like to see on it:

"We kind of pulled a prank on the director," she explained. "The whole entire extended cast—like, every vampire coven—decided to plan out this dance, and do it instead of doing the scene."

Everyone put on your Disappointment Pants: Kristen Stewart, despite earlier rumors to the contrary, will NOT be appearing as a homicidal transgendered prison inmate in "K-11." But even without Kristen on board, there's still a whole lotta Stewart in this movie! Kristen's mom, Jules Stewart, will direct the dark, gritty ensemble drama—and Variety reports that her older brother, Cameron Stewart, has joined the cast in his feature film debut.

A manly version of K-Stew? Hmm! There's only a teensy photo of Cameron attached to the story, but we definitely see some family resemblance between him and his famous sis.
