Further proof that the man upstairs may very well be a woman: "Magic Mike" is headed to Broadway!!!!!! (*Pauses for hyperventilating to subside*)

...OK!? So it seems "Magic Mike" screenwriter Reid Carolin let slip to USA Today at the film's L.A. premiere that producers are adapting the tale for the Great White Way. "We are working on it as a Broadway show, which would be a different story," he said, "more of a romp, more of a fun night out at a club with a story."

Now, if you've ever popped onto Hollywood Crush for more than 3 seconds, you likely already (and rightfully) guessed that we're more than a little enthused about this idea. Though to be honest, we're not sure how a stage adaptation will differ all that much from an actual strip show, but we're not ones to quibble!

Fifty Shades of GreyIf you plowed through recent erotica phenomenon "Fifty Shades of Grey" and wound up, much like the hapless heroine of the trilogy, frantically titillated and begging for more, don't go retiring your flogger just yet! Because rumor has it, according to Gatecrasher, that author E.L. James is pondering a return to the same sexy story...only this time, from the point of view of billionaire Christian Grey. (Think of it as an S&M version of Stephenie Meyer's "Midnight Sun"...)

Needless to say, this news provokes a whole lot of questions. Like: Can this material sustain a second go-round through the spanking machine? Heck, can its readers? And what'll they call it—"Grey of 50 Shades"? "50 More Shades of Grey"? "The Billionaire Playboy's Guide To Angry Grab-A--"? ...Okay, obviously it'll be that last one. But most importantly: Would you want to revisit this story from the perspective of the man wielding the riding crop? No, really, tell us! Vote in our poll after the jump!

"Catching Fire" has found its Finnick Odair! ...Maybe. Sort of. Almost? Not really?

Okay, okay—so the latest news from behind the scenes at the "Hunger Games" sequel isn't so much news as it is speculation with a side of rumor-mongering, but let's just run with it: E! Online has heard some exclusive whispers from a secret source that the pick for District 4's trident-wielding tribute is down to three known contenders and one anony-dude question mark, with producers currently eyeing A-list uberhotties Armie Hammer, Taylor Kitsch and Garrett Hedlund for the role. BUT! According to the same whisperings, they're also considering canning the whole "established celebrity" thing and selecting their Finnick from a promising sea of unknowns (and giving one struggling actor the role that could make his career).

Break out the champagne because the MTV Movie Awards are finally legal. And what would a 21st birthday party be without some rockin' music? To celebrate this huge milestone we looked back at Movie Awards performances of yesteryear and, man, there are so many highlights!

There's Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg's rousing rendition of "California Gurls" from 2010, which had every girl, California bred or not, moving in her seat. In 2008, Coldplay rocked the soon-to-be anthem, "Viva La Vida," live for the first time as confetti rained down on the audience. And while we're feeling all nostalgic, we can't forget 'NSYNC popping out of massive Barbie (Ken?) doll boxes to perform "It's Gonna Be Me" in 2000.

We can hardly decide who should be crowned best of the best. That's why we're asking YOU to vote! Who had the best musical performance in the history of the MTV Movie Awards?

We won't disagree that the Oscars are Hollywood's fashion Super Bowl, but we like to think stars have the most fun dressing for MTV awards shows. I mean, where else can one wear something like this? Thankfully, most starlets err on the side of funky and full-bottomed when walking the Movie Awards red carpet, leaving style watchers absolutely torn over who to crown best dressed.

Last year, two of our franchise favorites brought their A-games to the proceedings. "Harry Potter" star Emma Watson looked simply stunning in her cream Marchesa dress, while "Twilight" leading lady Kristen Stewart had us seeing red (in a good way) with her edgy Balmain mini. Kristen's co-star Anna Kendrick caught our eye a year earlier with her floral Zac Posen, as did Scarlett Johansson and Whitney Port in their colorful frocks. Really, we could go on and on, so we'll leave it up to you. Who's been the most stylish star at the Movie Awards? Vote in our poll after the jump!

With the MTV Movie Awards just around the corner, we're starting to feel a wee bit nostalgic for all the other wondrous moments we've seen at Movie Awards past—and when it comes to wondrous moments, there's nothing quite like the ones where our award-winners take the stage, grasp their awards, hold them high and get overcome by emotion...and then, by the overwhelming urge to furiously mouth each other like a couple of golden retriever puppies.

Which happens a lot! Yes, kissing interrupts our acceptance speeches at the Movie Awards with alarming frequency (and, curiously, not just when the actors involved are collecting the honors for Best Kiss. It must just be something about the Golden Popcorn that makes all these celebs feel the loooove.) And with this many winning smooches gracing our Movie Awards stage over the years—from Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen's 2007 rolling liplock to Robsten's kinda-sorta-smooch in 2010—it's high time we picked a winner from the winners...or that YOU did. So, vote in our poll and tell us: Which acceptance-speech kiss takes the cake?

Well, Gleeks, it looks like Lauren Zizes quitting New Directions and dumping Puck was the beginning of the end for Ashley Fink's character on "Glee." Despite promises from series creator Ryan Murphy that she'd stick around for a new story line with her BFF Chris Colfer, Ashley is not returning to the Fox musical series.

The actress spoke with The Insider saying, "It is what it is. Lauren's somewhere in that school, she's just not on camera or being talked about [laughs]. She's involved in activities that aren't televised."

It won't be long now before the movie adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' "The Lucky One" hits a theater near you—at which point the love-addled-but-gorgeously-muscled Iraq war veteran played by Zac Efron will claim his rightful place on the list of People In Movies You Wish You Could Actually Date. A list which is, let's be real, probably populated entirely by Nicholas Sparks characters, because Nicholas Sparks is a conniving villainous fiend who just wants you to know how very UNromantic your life is with the boyfriend he didn't make up in his wildly creative head. (Yeah, thanks, Nicholas. Thanks for the fact that no matter what we do, nobody is ever going to write us letters every day for a year and then make out with us in the rain and then love us forever and ever because Noah Calhoun is not real. It's not like that gave us unattainable expectations or anything.)

But much as we love to hate Nicholas Sparks, we love to love him, too, because the man's books are just so damnably adaptable for the screen! Which is why, over the past two decades, we've seen movie after movie featuring the words "based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks" on the poster—and why, while we wait for our New Fake Boyfriend Zac Efron to make his appearance in "The Lucky One," we're going back through all the films featuring Nicholas' stories to decide which is our favorite! And by ours, we mean yours. So c'mon, tell us: Which one of these tear-jerking, heart-breaking, relationship-comparison-inducing romance makes you the most crazy in the best possible way? Vote in our poll after the jump!

The news that J.K. Rowling signed with Little, Brown for her first post-"Harry Potter" novel left fans with many burning questions: What is it about? What will it be called? When can we read it? Well, today, we have those answers.

Five years after the book release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," J.K. and her publisher announced today that the novel is titled "The Casual Vacancy" and will be released on September 27, 2012. The book's described as "blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising." And while that sounds like it would be in the vein of our favorite sorcerer, the synopsis for the novel suggests otherwise.

When it comes to "The Hunger Games" sequel, "Catching Fire," there's only one thing we know for certain: the speculation never ends. First, fans mulled over which actor should play Finnick Odair. Yesterday, we cast our vote as to whether it's imperative that "Hunger Games" director Gary Ross returns for the sequel. And today, we're asking you to vote on which actress should play the fierce Johanna Mason!

Our picks for Johanna's casting included Katie McGrath, Kat Dennings and Naya Rivera. When we asked you to tell us who you're rooting for, we received a variety of responses. Some of you agreed with us that Naya would be perfect and Kat could nail it, while other responses included Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Christina Ricci, and even Jennifer Lawrence's best friend, Zoe Kravitz. But there can only be one returning tribute from District 7. Vote now to have your voice heard for who's the fan favorite!
