Boardgames are fun—when you have ample space, a table, chairs and maybe a bowl of popcorn or a slice of pizza. They are not, however, the ideal amusement when crammed on a jam-packed Subway or on a bumpy bus ride to school—until now. Thanks to the new "Scene It? Twilight" iPhone app, available for $4.99 from the iTunes App Store, Twilighters can satisfy their boardgame craving virtually anywhere.

As a public service to all you Crushers who also call yourselves Twilighters, we downloaded the game last night and took it for a thorough test drive ... Volvo not included. (You can see our in-newsroom "virtual" test drive — thanks to the trusty Nicole Guanlao — by pressing play on the video above.) The app offers two different modes of gameplay. The first is the main "Scene It?" game, a sort of single-player trivia bonanza. My first attempt started off with a clip from the meadow, after which I had to recall the first word that was said in the scene (kind of lame, I'll admit). The game quickly progressed through several different puzzle types including multiple-choice trivia (i.e. What was the name of the bookstore Bella bought the Quileute book at?), video trivia, Who Said This?, in which players have to correctly attribute movie quotes to the correct characters; Gridlock, where players have to remove point tiles from atop an image until they can identify the person, place or thing below; and Baseball Shuffle, a carnival-style game where a ball is placed under one of three rotating hats and you must identify which hat it's under.

The dream of many "Twilight" fans is the chance to be in the presence of their favorite films beloved cast members. Well, Twihards, we offer you an opportunity even better: not only to get a chance to see Jasper Hale in real life, but to have control over whether he comes to your town.

"Aint no rest for the wicked," Jackson Rathbone told us in a recent interview on the set of his new indie, "Girlfriend," and he seems to be making that line his mantra. Filming just wrapped over the weekend for "Girlfriend," he has one week left on "Eclipse" and then he is kicking off a 100 city tour with his band 100 Monkeys.

But this isn't going to be your average band tour. Jackson and bandmates Jerad Anderson, Ben Graupner and Ben Johnson have decided to make this tour something special.

Despite a report that surfaced this summer which claimed Renee Zellweger and the gang would be back for more mishaps in a third "Bridget Jones" movie, Ms. Jones herself is dashing everyone's hopes saying that the sequel is just a rumor.

"I get asked every single day, and I don't know anything," she told E! News at Elle magazine's Women in Hollywood event. "It's a rumor."

As for the rumors that she'd be wearing a fat suit for the next installment instead of gaining the pounds she did for the first two, she joked, "Oh, goody! When are we having the fitting?"

Welcome back to Dress Like A Movie Star Week here on Hollywood Crush. We're continuing to bring you Halloween costume ideas inspired by some of the most outrageous, colorful and downright awesome characters on the big screen in 2009. We know your wallets aren't exactly being filled by a money tree in your backyards these days, so we're going to try our darndest to keep these costume ideas easy to create and easy on your bank account! Let the trick and treating begin!

We were green with envy when Rachel Nichols got to have a quick romp with the out-of-this-world hottie Chris Pine in this summer’s mega-hit "Star Trek." So, while Spock (Zachary Quinto) and Nyota (Zoe Saldana) may have been the intergalactic couple to make it work despite some interplanetary meanies trying to come between them, we think bad boy Capt. James Kirk (Chris) and Star Fleet cadet Gailia (Rachel) will make for far more interesting, not to mention eye-catching, couples costume (or solo, we don’t judge!) this Halloween.

We're not going to have you recreate your own Vulcan (though, hats off to you if you can pull that off!), but we so have some helpful hints (after the jump) to best capture the look of Kirk and Gailia. We’ve tried to make them as budget-friendly as possible (heck, times are probably tough on the USS Enterprise) and cool enough that you’ll (live long and) prosper this October 31st.

Remember the days of 'NSYNC when Justin Timberlake rocked a small mop of curly locks? Well you soon might be able to see them again! That’s right JT fans, the singer is growing out his hair for his upcoming role in the new film, "The Social Network." The film, which follows the rise of Facebook and the effect that it had on the site’s founders, also stars "Zombieland" actor Jesse Eisenberg.

“My hair is obviously growing out for a reason.” Justin hinted to MTV News. And while some of us may be caught off guard at the singer reverting back to his boy-band hair do, the singer insists that the movie’s director knows what he’s doing. "To be honest David Fincher’s so ridiculously genius, we're all just following his lead," JT said. "I think we want to tell the story, and I want to tell it through [Aaron] Sorkin's words and Fincher's eyes. I think Aaron did a lot of research on all of it. I don't want to speak for another actor, but I think the consensus for all of us is that we just want to make a great film."

Which look do you prefer? Do you like the retro curly throwback of “Bye Bye Bye” or does the buzz cut look a bit more “justified”?

FROM SPLASH PAGE: From Anna Paquin's history with "X-Men" to Stephen Moyer's upcoming turn in "Priest" — not to mention Alexander Skarsgård's near-miss with "Thor" — the cast of "True Blood" is starting to realize that as cool as vampires are, nothing beats the comic book scene.

Now, it appears that Ryan Kwanten — who plays the dim-witted Jason Stackhouse on the HBO vampire drama — is getting in on the action, as Moviehole reports that the Australian-born actor is shooting a superhero romantic comedy in Sydney titled "Griff the Invisible."

Jackson Rathbone has been working his butt off this year, though most of what he's been working on wont be seen by the public until 2010. He finished filming M. Night Shamylan's "The Last Airbender" and "New Moon" earlier this year, is completing his final two weeks of filming for "Eclipse" right now, and when we caught up with him last week, was working the dual roles of producer and actor on his indie flick, "Girlfriend." Oh yeah, and hes in the process for gearing up for a 100 city tour with his band, 100 Monkeys.

"I just want to work. I don't sleep," Jackson admitted with a laugh.

That was literally the case when we met up with him last week. Both he and bandmate/co-"Girlfriend" star and producer Jerad Anderson had hopped a plane from Vancouver the night before and started working when they landed. He said when he wrapped filming on "Girlfriend," he would jump on a plane back to Vancouver and pick up filming on "Eclipse" again.

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.

"Rehab" singer Rihanna was Spotted! heading to Milk Studio in New York yesterday, with a daring hairdo. The fashion forward singer, who recently announced via Twitter that her third album, Rated R, will be released on November 23, was decked out in all black...we're talking black shirt, pants, jacket and, of course, sunglasses. Besides the jewelry, the only touch of color came from her bold red lipstick and brown ankle-length boots. The riskiest part of the whole look though was probably the hair, which was shaved at the sides and styled into a mohawk. We're not sure what to make of her stylings yet, but we've got to give it to Rihanna — the girl knows how to keep things interesting!

Click on the photo above to check out her latest hairstyle and find out which up and coming starlet was seen strolling with Leonardo DiCaprio after the jump!

We already know what Selena Gomez wants: a whole lotta Jason Mraz, as the "Wizards of Waverly Place" star admitted to us with an aw-shucks grin earlier this month.

"He is very talented musically and lyrically," the 17-year-old told us after checking out one of the singer/songwriter's concerts. "He is beautiful!"

Now we also know what she wants in her film roles: a girl who can magically read the thoughts of guys. That's the premise of "What Boys Want," the New Line project to which Gomez is now attached to star, according to a report in Variety. She'll play a teen who is gifted with the nifty ability to hear what the opposite sex really thinks but never actually says.

For anyone whose seen “Twilight” (and we’re expecting that’s quite a few of you out there if you’re reading this site) then you know Anna Kendrick , who plays Bella’s high school frenemy Jessica, though her part may be small, has a knack for comedic timing. “Juno” and “Thank You For Smoking” director Jason Reitman must have seen that there’s a funny gal beneath all that cattiness when he cast her in "Up in the Air" as Natalie Keener, a new employee at a firm that helps companies fire people.

In the clip above, George Clooney’s Ryan Bingham explains to Natalie the importance to him of racking up frequent flier miles.
