This one is for those of you who appreciate our weekly Hump Day Hottie feature, as well as those who love an adorable celeb couple. Not so long ago, we anointed "Suits" star Patrick J. Adams as our Hump Day Hottie, which led to two awesome things: First we learned that Patrick's real-life love interest is "Pretty Little Liars" star Troian Bellisario. Second, his "Suits" co-star Gabriel Macht was so overwhelmed by Patrick's honor that he felt the need to tweet a photo about how he was feeling about the whole thing. The chain of events was so fun that when I caught up with the Troian recently, I had to ask for her take.

"It was really funny. When he was the Hump Day Hottie, Gabriel Macht released that Twitpic, "Hump Day Nottie," and that tickled me pink, that was such a great response," she said. "It was definitely a great thing being able to walk around the apartment: 'Hump Day Hottie, could you pass me the coffee?' 'Hump Day Hottie, I left my phone in the other room could you Hump Day Hottie that over to me?' and he was just like, 'I hate you so much, would you stop that?' It was even better in public. That was great."

It may not afford a trip to Disney World or a little gold man, but People magazine's annual Sexiest Man Alive proceedings are a contentious contest, nonetheless.

To wit, when "The Hangover" star Bradley Cooper earned the auspicious title over 2011's Golden God Ryan Gosling, fans took up arms, launching online protests and even going so far as to picket outside of People's Time Inc. headquarters. So when our own Josh Horowitz caught up with 2010's Sexiest Man Alive, Ryan Reynolds, at the "Safe House" junket, he had to get the hottie's take on the situation.

Surprisingly (or perhaps not), Ryan was completely unaware of the kerfuffle. "I did not hear about this," he said, after joking that he was now on the Sexiest Man Alive lecture circuit. "Are you kidding?"

This week's After Hours with MTV News' Josh Horowitz invites a whole lot of questions. Questions like: where, what, or who is "Snowy River"? And why is Malin Akerman abusing Josh's lapels whilst shouting about betrayal? And was there something in the water at the Sundance Film Festival last month?

The answers are out there! Somewhere! But don't look for them in this star-studded promo for a new (non-existent) series that will rival "Twin Peaks" for mysterious monsters, non sequitur dialogue and young brunette actresses staring vacantly into the camera—and don't expect us to know anything, either. All we can say about the mysterious "Snowy River" is that...

Last night's big game included plenty of ogle-worthy manmeat on the field of play (Jason Pierre-Paul in spandex pants, anyone?), but the crushworthy content of the Super Bowl didn't end there: During the commercial breaks, we were treated to two separate trailers for movies starring the delicious Taylor Kitsch. First there was "Battleship," in which Taylor was all hands on deck for an explosion-riddled battle against starfish-handed aliens armed with giant roly-poly death machines! And then, there was "John Carter," in which...well, something about Mars and an intergalactic war? We're not sure; we were just the slightest bit distracted by the fact that Taylor apparently spends the whole film wearing nothing but a few teeny strips of strategically-placed leather on his well-muscled bod.

Point is, this is going to be one deliciously Kitsch-y year in Hollywood, and it'll be a serious thrill to see Taylor make the move from playing a small-screen football star on "Friday Night Lights" to battling aliens in not one, but two fab feature films. There's just one dilemma: Which Kitsch is hotter? The leather-strap-wearing, long-haired renegade of "John Carter," or the crew-cut, clean-shaven, all-American military man of "Battleship"? Ugh, decisions. You tell us by voting in our poll after the jump!

It has come to our attention that John Krasinski is an expert at being charming. Not only does he seem to play the most irresistibly delightful characters imaginable (see: Jim on "The Office," Ethan in "Something Borrowed," Phone Operator in "The Muppets") but he is equally, if not even more so, beguiling in person. And don't even get me started on how freakin' adorable and in love he and wife Emily Blunt are. It is too cute for words.

Being the inquisitive, truth-seeking journalist that I am, when I caught up with John recently to talk to him about his new save-the-whales movie "Big Miracle" (Spoiler alert: He plays a charming journalist!), I felt that it was my duty to try and get at the source of his success.

The actual question I posed to John, and by default to his "Miracle" co-star Drew Barrymore because she was seated next to him for the interview, was whether he could provide us with a detailed guide to being so consistently captivating.

Hey Girl,
Here's some Crazy, Stupid news that will Drive you nuts. The powers that be at Time Warner Cable are obviously monitoring our TV-viewing habits very closely, because they've catered their February schedule to perfectly reflect our hearts' deepest desires. In celebration of Valentine's Day, the company is launching Ryan Gosling on Demand. We'll just let that sink in...

According to LAWeekly, TWC is offering eight of the actor's fine films for your viewing pleasure: "Remember the Titans," "Murder by Numbers," "The Notebook," "Fracture," "Lars and the Real Girl," "Crazy, Stupid, Love," "The Ides of March" and "Drive." (And before you say it, LAWeekly already pointed out the curious omission of "Blue Valentine," the one movie that actually has the holiday's name in its title...)

Before she faced a formidable "Fear," or dyed her hair "Legally Blonde," or learned to "Walk the Line," starlet Reese Witherspoon was just a Southern teen cutting her acting teeth on her first film role: the 1991 romantic drama "The Man in the Moon." And in anticipation of our upcoming MTV First: This Means War (airing Tuesday at 7:56 p.m. ET on MTV), we took a trip to the MTV vault to unearth this long-lost clip of Reese talking about that early role—all the way back in 1991. (So, like, before some of you were even born!)

With a now almost-non-existent twang and a self-assuredness rare for most teens, the 15-year-old dished about why she got into acting. "I just thought, I always wanted to do something really outgoing 'cause when I was little I was really kind of quiet, but you know, I'd always be really creative at home and stuff, and finally I started, you know, speaking out and doing little things to impress everybody," she recalled.

Do you enjoy punching, English accents, punching, U.S. history trivia, people who can't/won't dance on command, and punching? Then perhaps you will enjoy these outtakes from our "After Hours" with Josh Horowitz and Daniel Radcliffe, which contains all of these things at the same time. It's like a buffet of Radcliffian hijinks! And also, punching!

Meanwhile, this collection of never-before-seen clips has provided us with vital new information about the Enigma That Is Daniel Radcliffe—and also solves many mysteries of the natural world! Following: a complete list of things we now know, thanks to the discovery of this previously un-aired footage.

File this one under Random Yet Notable. It has come to our attention that our favorite Robert Pattinson and fellow actor/all-around likable guy Anthony Mackie are total BFFs. Well, I'm saying BFFs; they're saying "good friends." The point is, while I like to think everyone knows everyone else in Hollywood, I had no idea Rob and Anthony are bros.

When MTV News caught up with Anthony recently during the press day for his upcoming heist/thriller "Man On a Ledge," talk somehow turned to the subject of vampires and the fact that Anthony wants to be in a sixth "Twilight" movie.

"Rob, a good friend of mine, we were actually hanging out last night. I told him, 'Man, you know I gotta be in that "Twilight: Part Six.'" He told me he's going to look out for me."

It's been just two days, but the internet is already crazy in love with the irreplaceable Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter born to Beyoncé and Jay-Z over the weekend in New York City. And with her mega-watt parentage, it's no surprise Blue has been welcomed into the Hollywood fold by the likes of Rihanna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Diddy, securing herself a place in the upper echelon of the famous-baby pantheon. (And, gosh, what an adorable pantheon that is.)

We, however, don't think the littlest Carter should rest on her laurels just yet. Sure, she's less than a week old, but it's never too early to star contemplating world domination. (Suri Cruise already has a five-year advantage!) To wit, we have a few suggestions for collaborations with other adorable star offspring that we'd like to see come to fruition within the next 25 years or so...
