To keep it right with Valentine's Day themes, Sunday’s featured color at Fashion Week in New York was…RED!

The color of love (or blood, depending on what type of Valentine’s Day you are having) was so prominently featured yesterday, that the process of selecting the top 10 felt like an impossible task. But after careful selection, this is what we’ve narrowed it down to.


(1. Derek Lam, 2. Jennifer Love Hewitt at Max Azria, 3. Max Azria, 4. Yoana Baraschi, 5. Calvin Klein)

Our highlights? Jennifer Love Hewitt made the list as she attended the Max Azria show, while Y-3 blew our minds with a crimson collection that earned three separate nominations.

The votes are in, and it hardly comes as a surprise that "Twilight" trio Edward, Bella and Jacob won Hollywood Crush readers' vote as their favorite YA novel love triangle. "Twilight" took a whopping 40 percent of the vote with "Vampire Diaries"' Stefan, Elena and Damon coming in second with 23 percent and "Mortal Instruments"' Jace, Clary and Simon coming in with 18 percent of the vote.

Click here to see our countdown of the 6 best YA novel love triangles (WARNING: THERE ARE SPOILERS!!!)

Millions of book readers and movie goers will agree that Stephenie Meyer couldn't have created two more perfect suitors for the clumsily lovable Bella Swan. There's Edward, the dazzling (literally) vamp whom Bella can't help but be drawn to. And we don't blame her: he writes music and runs super-fast! Swoon! Then there's Jacob, the warm (again, literally) childhood friend who not only has a six-pack to rival Ryan Reynolds', but is just so comfortable to be around. Any girl faced with the same decision would have to take a moment (or two or three) to consider her options.

In the frigid winter, shades of white (snow), gray (snow) and brown (snow) cover the great streets of Manhattan as New Yorkers have already settled into the colorless and dull season. But the reason we are able to do so year after year is because there is a blindingly colorful light at the end of the tunnel. Just when your black, gray and brown wardrobe is on its last threads, Fall Fashion Week rolls into town, bringing bursts of bold color and, dare we say, hope for a bright spring season.

As we celebrate the colors coming back to our eyes, we realize that there are so many to choose from! To give each hue the celebration and attention it deserves, we are carefully scanning the runways and red carpets to bring you the best of the best for your critique and enjoyment. We present to you, Hollywood Crush’s first ever Fashion Week Color Wheel!

Here’s how it works:

Cupid's reign of terror begins in fewer than 96 hours, and we're girding our loins for the heart-shaped smackdown. (Okay, we're kidding. Sorta.) I mean, let's be real, Valentine's Day is all fine and dandy when you have a special someone to serenade you with "Fat Bottomed Girls" and buy you breadsticks, but if you're a single lady, it can be downright depressing. THOUGH, we can think of one scenario even more unbearable: being head-over-heels for someone who's in love with someone else.

Yep, the dreaded love triangle—a particularly prevalent theme in current YA literature. In fact, so many of our favorite reads feature fraught threesomes that it seemed ripe for a sort-of anti-Valentine's Day retrospective. Check out our favorites after the jump and vote for the one you love the most. We'll reveal the results on February 14 (poll closes at 12 p.m. ET that day). AND JUST AS A WARNING, THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE SERIES!

Emma Watson knows a thing or two about big screen adaptations of beloved books. So it should come with great joy to the fans of Stephen Chbosky's 1999 coming-of-age novel "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" that the "Harry Potter" star has officially signed on to play love interest Sam in the upcoming film.

Emma confirmed the news today from her Twitter page when she posted, "Hi all,just wanted to tell you that for once a story in the papers is true! I'm filming Perks of Being a Wallflower this summer.Can't wait!x"

We can't wait either! The film version of this YA classic (which is being released by Summit Entertainment, home of the "Twilight" movies) has been a long time coming, and Emma has been in talks to play Sam for awhile (Logan Lerman has been reported to take on the role of the protagonist "Charlie"). Plus, if anyone can handle "Wallflower"'s tricky subject matter like drugs, sexuality and suicide, it's the lovely, dignified Ms. Watson.

In a perfect world, Alex Pettyfer could be the swoonworthy leading man of our dreams in every YA novel film adaptation. But, alas, this is the real world where cloning is illegal and each day is only 24 hours long, which means some tough decisions have to be made. We've been pretty vocal about our desire, wish, dream, undying fantasy, etc. to see Alex wear the runes as hunky Shadowhunter Jace Wayland in the upcoming "Mortal Instruments" film "City of Bones," but that's not the only leading man part he has in his cross-hairs.

Alex told J-14 over the weekend that he's met with Lionsgate to discuss another upcoming YA adaptation: "The Hunger Games."

"I met with Lionsgate. I think Gary Ross is a great director," Alex said. "I have [read the books]. I'm a very big fan. I just hope they can conquer the movie."

With the rumors that Alex may ultimately sign on to yet another adaptation, "The Last Apprentice," there's a chance he won't be available for either film. But, if you could play casting director for a minute, which part would you want Alex for: "TMI"'s Jace or "Hunger Games"' Peeta (or maybe even Gale!)? Vote in our poll after the jump!

[Completely unrelated edit note: Isn't this pic of Alex just too cute?]

The one-sheet for Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon's April 22 release, "Water for Elephants," hit the interwebs yesterday, and I, for one, am in love. The blue and gold coloring is so warm and inviting; Reese looks absolutely stunning in her navy halter dress and pin-curled 'do; and, as is usually the case, Rob is sufficiently smoldery. Consider my ticket purchased, 20th Century Fox.

This new poster got me thinking about all the Robert one-sheets that have come before it. From "Twilight" to "Little Ashes," we've seen a lot of different looks from RPattz, but I'm just going to say it—this one is my favorite so far (with "New Moon" a close second).

What do you think, Crushers? Is "Water for Elephants" Rob's best movie poster yet? Take a look at his past one-sheets and vote for your favorite after the jump!

Unlike Panem's reaping, candidates are fighting to get into the arena for the big screen adaptation of Suzanne Collins' "Hunger Games." In fact, it seems each week a new actress' name is thrown into the mix to play determined heroine Katniss Everdeen.

The early fan favorite for the role was "Skins" actress Kaya Scodelario, who according to a recent report has yet to talk with Lionsgate about the part. "Kick-Ass" star Chloe Moretz was another name bounced around late last year (though many have said she's too young for the role). We've weighed in with our favorites more than once: first "Vampire Diaries" star Malese Jow and "Eclipse" newbie Jodelle Ferland. More recently, up-and-comer Hailee Steinfeld caught our eye with her gripping performance in "True Grit." And we couldn't forget "Winter's Bone" actress (and "Jersey Shore" fan) Jennifer Lawrence and Disney darling Alyson Stoner who recently tweeted her interest. Plus, there's always Emily Blunt (just kidding!).

As a casting announcement inches ever closer, we want to know: Who do you hope represents District 12? Vote in our poll after the jump! And, as always, if we didn't include your favorite, tell us in the comments section.

Sex, drugs and high school: Welcome to the world of "Skins." MTV's adaptation of the hit UK series debuted last night, introducing a crazy cast of unforgettable characters. There's Tony: the charismatic (not to mention manipulative) ringleader; Michelle: Tony's girlfriend whom he's not-so-lovingly nicknamed "Nips"; Stanley: Tony's stoner friend who can't seem to lose his virginity; Tea: the cheer-leading lesbian and Cadie: the pill-popping basket case. As the series progresses, each episode will focus on a different character's shenanigans, but off the bat, we want to know which "Skins" kid you liked best from last night's debut. Weigh in after the jump!

In Taylor Swift's new video for "Back to December," the singer appears to be breaking it off with one hunky dude. We have to admit that over the course of Taylor's video history, she's had some hot leading men, having cast everyone from "One Tree Hill" alums Tyler Hilton and Stephen Colletti (you may also know him from that show called "Laguna Beach"), Justin Gaston, as well as towheads like Lucas Till and Toby Hemingway.

And Swift has done it again. This time her leading man, Guntars Asmanis, is a dreamy brunette with a finely chiseled bone structure. His casting had us wondering who you think he most resembles of Taylor's past beaus, rumored or otherwise. [Ed note: We left off the blonds since this guy is a brunette!] Vote after the jump!
