Justin Timberlake Gets In Friday The 13th Spirit

Did you happen to notice today's date? Happy Friday the 13th, Crushers! A number of our favorite celebs took to Twitter today to make note of the spooky occasion, including Justin Timberlake who proved to be a bit of a jokester here with a tweeted reference to a famous scary movie villain.

Can you guess the movie reference (BIG HINT: What is today's date again?) Oh Justin—we obviously love your songs, but we also appreciate that you can make us laugh, rather than stress out over silly superstitions. However, does that mean we'll be walking under ladders or opening umbrellas in our house later? Ummm, probably not—better safe than sorry!

Taylor Swift, 'Twilight' Trio Make Forbes Highest-Paid Under 30 List

Posted 7/13/12 3:46 pm EST by in On The Newsstand, Random Yet Notable

by Meg Malone

Forbes magazine recently released their list of the highest-paid celebrities under 30—or as I call it, a list of people whose bank accounts I'd like to pilfer.

There's a few Crush favorites (hi, "Twilight" leads!) among the music stars and actors who've made this year's countdown. No. 1 on the list right now? It's none other than songstress Taylor Swift, who Forbes estimates made $57 million over the last year from her albums, concerts and spokesperson gigs (such as CoverGirl). Even if I actually knew how to sing and play instruments and write songs like Taylor, I can't ever imagine ever receiving a paycheck of that magnitude.

Keep reading after the jump for the rest of Forbes' list:

'Hunger Games' DVD Extra: How NOT To Catch Fire

Posted 7/13/12 1:41 pm EST by in Movie News, Movies, Videos

by Meg Malone

"Catching Fire" may be the hotly anticipated sequel to "The Hunger Games," but as this new behind-the-scenes clip shows, a lot of careful planning went into making sure nobody was catching on fire on the first movie's set.

As you may remember, in one of the film's (many) intense sequences, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) finds herself trying to outrun a blaze overtaking the forest around her. This new clip, which premiered at Comic-Con ahead of the DVD/Blu-ray release on August 18, explores what went into filming that terrifying fire-following scene.

Josh Duhamel, Julianne Hough Let Loose On 'Safe Haven' Set

Posted 7/12/12 6:15 pm EST by in Movies, The Twitter Nation

by Meg Malone

Taking a moment to goof around during work can help break up a long day—hey, we all do it once in awhile! If Josh Duhamel's tweet from today is any indication, the stars like to take the occasional break from working to let loose just as much as we do.

We're sure that the "serious business" is happening when the cameras are rolling, but all we're seeing here is some serious fun. As Josh mentions, he and co-star Julianne Hough are currently filming "Safe Haven," adapted from the Nicholas Sparks book of the same name. The movie is about a woman (that's Julianne!) who rolls into a North Carolina town, making the small community both intrigued and suspicious of her arrival.

Posted 7/12/12 10:47 am EST by in Eye Candy, Movie News, Movies

Magic Mikeby Meg Malone

Remember that time I went to see "Magic Mike" on opening day all by myself? Well, I guess I should start gearing up for a second trip based on what Channing Tatum revealed recently. In a Twitter Takeover with Glamour UK, Channing let slip that a sexy sequel to his stripper flick is in the works!

"Yes, yes and yes! We're working on the concept now," he said. "We want to flip the script and make it bigger."

We're already hoping for the possibility of an extra-dance packed "Magic Mike" DVD, but now add in the potential for another big screen showing, and we're buzzing with questions and concerns.

Jillian Rose Reed's Work Out Is Anything But 'Awkward'

Posted 7/11/12 6:08 pm EST by in The Twitter Nation

by Meg Malone

We know firsthand that finding the energy and motivation to work out, especially in the hot summer, can be tough, so it's always a big plus when you can figure out a way to make it enjoyable. Jillian Rose Reed of "Awkward" has apparently found what that is for her, and turned to Twitter to share what talk show she tunes into while feeling the burn.

Staying in shape while getting a TV fix is a fabulous combination—we definitely approve, and in fact are feeling pretty inspired to hit the gym right now. Give us a marathon of "Awkward," and we'll work out all day! Watching Jillian play the quick-witted, slang-slinging Tamara is actually one of our favorite things, so be sure to tune in for a new episode tomorrow night on MTV (doing crunches or push-ups while watching is optional).

Nina Dobrev Gets Nostalgic As 'Vampire Diaries' Production Begins

by Meg Malone

While we're sitting on our couches just watching television, Nina Dobrev is out there making television, and lucky for us she's back shooting yet another season of the totally addictive "Vampire Diaries"!

Time sure does fly! That's so much time spent debating "Damon or Stefan?", watching Nina rock her dual roles as both Elena and Katherine, continuing to debate "Damon or Stefan?"... Don't worry, there's plenty of time to continue discussing before we head back to Mystic Falls for "The Vampire Diaries"' return on October 11.

'Hunger Games' DVD: Peep Special Features Trailer!

Posted 7/10/12 10:55 am EST by in Hot Stuff, Movie News, Movies, Videos

by Meg Malone

The March opening of "The Hunger Games" was a big deal for me (like, see-it-twice-in-36-hours-on-opening-weekend big deal). When the DVD and Blu-ray drop on August 18, I'm sure I'll screen the film again right away, but based on this special features trailer, I'm also itching to watch all three hours of behind-the-scenes content.

Check out the trailer for yourself!

So, Crushers, what are you most excited to explore further after you (furiously) open your copy next month?

Cassandra Clare Unveils 'Mortal Instruments' Teaser Poster

Posted 7/9/12 5:57 pm EST by in Movie News, Movies, The Twitter Nation

by Meg Malone

It may not be much, but at least it's something to get our imaginations going! Today, author Cassandra Clare tweeted the teaser poster for the movie adaptation of "City of Bones," the first book in her supernatural series, "The Mortal Instruments."

While we wish there was a little more than just text and a glimmer of light to ease our anticipation (August 2013 is so far away!), it makes sense considering production isn't set to start until next month.
