Our minds are a little bit blown right now, so we're just going to leave this here: Hugh Jackman, on camera, telling the best story ever about that time he sang karaoke with would-be "Unbound Captives" co-star Robert Pattinson.

...Yeah. I mean, why don't you try to think of a witty and relevant way to introduce that particular tidbit of info; we're just going to sit here with our mouths hanging open at the pure unadulterated awesomeness of the mental image involved.

It's a good thing that Hugh Jackman was able to sum this up for us:

"That's random, isn't it?" he joked.

It seems "Vampire Diaries" fans don't want to end the affair just yet.

Many avid watchers are calling last week's episode one of the best ever, and I won't disagree. "The End of the Affair" was bursting with the kind of jaw-dropping, twisty revelations we've come to expect from The CW series, but we're thinking even the most fanatical followers didn't see this coming: Klaus running from a foe even more villainous than himself! What makes the biggest, baddest, original-est vampire out there quiver? We went straight to star Nina Dobrev, who was in town promoting Puma's Project Pink initiative, for the answer.

"Do you guys remember when Damon was the big, bad vampire, and then Katherine came and trumped him and stepped on his toes? Then Klaus came and made me look like I was a mouse comparatively? And now, apparently, there's someone even bigger and badder than Klaus. And I just found out now, I as Nina, just found out who that is," Nina revealed. "But the audience, if that gives you any hint, will not find out for a little while."

Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.

Kristen Stewart proved that she was the fiercest of them all by donning a bulky suit of armor on the set of "Snow White and the Huntsman" earlier this week. And now she's providing amble evidence that she also deserves the age-old title, fairest of them all.

In a series of new pics snapped on the Welsh set yesterday, the 21-year-old is seen showing off her snow white skin in a completely gorgeous (albeit soaking wet) corseted brown and silver gown, finished with loose, slightly wavy locks. It's a majestic look perfectly befitting her position atop a beautiful ivory equine.

The cast of one hotly anticipated YA adaptation are discovering the "Perks" of being inducted into MTV News' The New Class.

All week long, we've been doling out superlatives to 10 of Hollywood's hottest up-and-comers, but today is extra-special as we bring you an EXCLUSIVE first look at the coming-of-age tale "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," starring four (yes, FOUR!) of our New Class inductees.

Based on the 1999 novel by Stephen Chbosky, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" follows introverted high school freshman Charlie as he slowly comes out of his shell thanks to new friends, siblings Sam (played by Emma Watson) and Patrick (played by Ezra Miller). We recently caught up with the cast on set, where they were filming the homecoming scene, to get the scoop on the talent-heavy production.

"I feel incredible about it. I feel like I've been waiting for 'Perks,' " Emma, who we dubbed Most Likely To Win An Oscar, said. "I was waiting for this story, for this script, for this moment, for these people to do it with me. I'm so glad I didn't do anything that I didn't care about."

Kristen StewartNo red bows or white cowls for this Snow White. Starlet Kristen Stewart flaunted her mettle (and metal), decked out in armor, chain mail and suede pants on the Welsh set of "Snow White and the Huntsman" yesterday. The images come courtesy of PopSugar and are proof positive Kristen's Snow White is no damsel in distress—she looks like she could cut a bitch (or Evil Witch) at any moment.

"[Snow White is] not a little girl sitting by a well with little tweety birds telling her what to do and where to go," Kristen explained during San Diego Comic-Con. "[The costume] makes you feel kind of strong occasionally, sometimes, but I kind of feel tiny, my pinhead sticks out of these enormous things."

Breaking Dawn soundtrackBruno Mars has company.

Hot on the heels of last week's announcement that the crooner's "It Will Rain" would be featured on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack comes the album's full track listing—and there's plenty to discuss.

For starters, I'm totally in love with director Bill Condon's nod to the first "Twilight Saga" film with the inclusion of Iron & Wine's "Flightless Bird, American Mouth (Wedding Version)." Twilighters will recognize that melancholy number from "Twilight"'s prom scene, in which Bella and Edward sway dreamily underneath a glittery gazebo. The only question is whether this redo will play during the actual wedding ceremony or during the reception as the couple's first dance. Either way, consider me swooning already.

Perilous slides down building facades, motorcycle chases and glass-shattering shoot-outs weren't the only stunts "Abduction" star Taylor Lautner had to contend with on the set of his action thriller (out Friday). There were also those steamy smooches with co-star Lily Collins. Lots of them. Which raises an interesting question. Which is harder: action sequences or kissing scenes?

We posed this precise query to stars Taylor and Lily while at the red carpet premiere for "Abduction" last week in Hollywood.

"Oof," Taylor grunted. "Two different kinds of action, right? We've got both of them in this movie, that's for sure. One's a little easier than the other."

"The action scenes, we shot a majority of them in the middle of the night, so those were kind of difficult because we were pretty tired," Lily chimed in. "The kissing scene, everyone's laughing around us. Everyone's making it really fun, but at the same time, trying not to laugh in the middle of it. That's kind of difficult."

It's the screen test "Mortal Instruments" fans are still buzzing about: Jamie Campbell Bower sizzling as snarky Shadowhunter Jace Wayland. You've heard about his on-screen chemistry with Lily Collins from author Cassandra Clare. And from co-star Lily herself. And now we're going straight to the source.

We recently caught up with the "Twilight" star at the Toronto International Film Festival, where Josh Horowitz asked for all the deets about Jamie's much-talked-about audition. "I nailed it," Jamie said with a chuckle. "I mean, I just got off a plane the day before, and this was a big deal for me, going for this audition. Going for a screen test in L.A. with a big studio, with people that I have heard about in stories and people that I admire."

And Jamie left nothing to chance. "I did a lot of preparation," he explained. "I sent an email out asking what the character would wear, how he would dress, and I really focused on it. And from the moment that I had my first audition in L.A., which was two months prior to going for the test, I was constantly looking at the lines and looking at the words and going back and asking who this guy was, and I came out of it sort of feeling like I've done the best that I can do. And if they accept that, that's perfect, and if they don't, then I've done what I can do."
