Show of hands: Who didn't see "The Hangover" this summer? No one? So I don't need to explain how wildly funny the raunchy bro-comedy was or how it catapulted sexy star Bradley Cooper's career like a high-flying mattress off of a luxe hotel roof? Great. Then I'll just add that the actor dubbed "That Guy From 'Wedding Crashers'" on the cover of Details magazine is now firmly "The Man" thanks to his grumpy groomsman role and his newly earned playboy status, having been linked in recent months to both Jennifer Aniston and Renee Zellweger. With his next comedy, "All About Steve," hitting theaters Friday we can't help but stare, gawk and drool over the dreamy actor in this week's "Star Gazing."

Click on the photo below and take a few minutes (or hours) to peruse pics of the star and read on to get the dish on Bradley's rise to fame.

Teen Vogue "Twilight" may have been Taylor Lautner's breakout movie, but "New Moon" will likely be the one that makes him a star. Anyone who's seen even a smidgen of promotion for the sequel knows this is the Taylor show—he even got his own "Meet Jacob Black" trailer. With his star on the rise, the 17-year-old sat down with Teen Vogue (see his full cover image after the jump!) to talk about how he got into acting, the kind of girl that digs Jacob (Selena Gomez, perhaps?) and the constant paparazzi attention.

Growing up in Michigan, Taylor never aspired to be an actor; in fact, his passion was Xtreme Martial Arts, a sport that involves acrobatic flips in addition to the usual punches and kicks. (If you want to see for yourself, just do a YouTube search and you'll find a tiny Taylor flaunting his moves). When he retired at all of 13-years-old he had four world champion titles to his name. It was his coach who suggested he give acting a try. "I liked it. Taking on roles that were the opposite of what I could be in real life? That's still my favorite thing," Taylor said. Read More...

Ryan Kwanten as Jason StackhouseForget Sam Merlotte, forget Bill Compton, even forget — dare I say it? — Eric Northman! All of those guys are fine in their own right (and heck, we've even come up with a way to figure out which is your type), but when it comes to the crush-worthy heroes (and anti-heroes) of "True Blood," there's perhaps no one more overlooked than Sookie Stackhouse's very own brother, Jason.

No, Jason doesn't turn into a dog to get out of hairy situations. He doesn't have fangs either. And, fine ... he hasn't lived for a thousand years. But what Jason lacks in supernatural ability, he makes up for in unbelievable entertainment value.

After the jump, check out the five reasons why I think Stackhouse should be nominated as The Man of "True Blood"! Read More...

The tiny Louisiana town at the heart of HBO's hot series "True Blood" seems to be suffering from an embarrassment of riches. For such a small hamlet, Bon Temps has a disproportionate number of fine-looking men. Not that we're complaining. In fact, we've often wished we could jump through the TV screen and roam the bogs and swamps of Alan Ball's fictional world just to rub elbows, shoulders, bulging biceps (you get the drift) with its comely inhabitants. And with so many suitors to chose from, it's hard to pick just one. Which is why we've developed this handy guide to deciding once and for all which Bon Temps man suits you best. After you've found your perfect match, take a look through our entire hunkilicious flipbook to drool over all the dreamy men of "True Blood." We probably don't have to say this but ... enjoy!

Cody Longo's star is definitely on the rise. With a slew of big name and interesting projects on the horizon, pictures of the actor should soon be gracing the lockers of girls all across this great land once school starts in a couple weeks. It doesn't hurt that he's in a handfull of high school themed movies ... or that he's incredibly easy on the eyes. Don't believe us? Press play on the video below to see more of this week's Hump Day Hottie!

Vital Stats: The 21-year-old grew up in Colorado, where he was an athlete, and when he spoke to Hollywood Crush, he exhibited a bit of the small town charm that girls just die over. Plus, he has a great sense of humor. We're sure his girlfriend, "Make It Or Break It" actress Cassie Scerbo, agrees. Read More...

Sure, Allan Hyde may not be with us anymore on "True Blood" (oops! Spoiler alert!), but that doesn't mean we're not crushing on the man we got to know as Godric for a (way too) short amount time. And, we're hoping now that he's won the hearts of the ladies here in the U.S. we'll be seeing more of him! Press play on the video below to see just why we nominated him our Hump Day Hottie this week:

Vital Stats: This 20-year-old hails from Denmark and couldn't be more excited to find out how much girls are crushing on him stateside, describing the accolade as "cool." What's cooler is that this up-and-coming actor also happens to be single and looking for that special someone. "I'm looking for someone that I can talk to about everything," he tells Hollywood Crush. "A nice laugh, a warm laugh." Read More...

We've been following all the steps of Robert Pattinson's career since "Harry Potter," so, when things like photos of the "Twilight" heartthrob as a kid in London emerged, we immediately hopped on it. Well, another gift has just come our way from the vampire's past: a snapshot of Robert at 19-years-old.

The photo above, which was just highlighted on Nylon magazine's blog, was taken for "Street: The Nylon Book of Global Style." At the time, according to the blog, he was credited as an "unknown actor" as he was just hanging out on the street of his London hometown. Read More...

Lucas Till doesn't read much about himself when it comes to articles written about him, but the "Hannah Montana" heartthrob may change his tune after he sees that he's this week's Hump Day Hottie. Plus if he doesn't, his mom, who of course stays on top of all the press written about her son, may just let him know all about this post and the delicious video below!

Vital Stats: The 19-year-old Atlanta native has southern charm. Although we wouldn't like him kissing and telling if it were about us, we didn't mind when he did about his experiences with Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. And, in case you're wondering Lucas is single and ready to mingle with some sweet, intelligent girls. Read More...

Ever since Miley Cyrus’ strip pole dance fiasco at the Teen Choice Awards last weekend, celebrity stripper stories are now hot to trot (in fact, just this morning, we mentioned that Eric Bana had to "strip" for his role in "Time Traveler's Wife"!). This year, "G.I. Joe" star Channing Tatum played with guns shooting bad guys, resulting in a box-office smash hit, but little did we know ten years ago Channing liked having women play with his own guns — on stage.

That’s right, the "G.I." stud used to strut his stuff half-naked on stage for $50 a night plus tips and at only 18-years old, no less. Us Weekly got a hold of an action-packed video of of the actor, a.k.a. “Chan Crawford,” baring it all on stage wearing a manly yellow thong. On the bright side, it was stripping that got Chan his first big-time gig in Ricky Martin’s music video for “She Bangs.” The leaked video was shot at a Chippendales-esque club called Male Encounter in 1999. Check it out after the jump! Read More...
