Not only does today mark the start of a long holiday weekend, but it's also actor Bryan Greenberg's birthday! Happy birthday, Bryan!

As Bryan noted in his tweet, he's officially old enough to be elected Commander in Chief. Would he get your vote?

Memorial Day weekend is just about 24 hours away now, and if you still haven't made plans for those three blissful days, maybe you should consider a movie. There are several opening this week, including "Fast & Furious 6," "The Hangover Part III," "Epic" and "Before Midnight."
"Glee" star Harry Shum Jr., however, can't say enough about one interstellar flick that's already been in theaters for a week now.
Star Trek was awesome! How does J.J. Abrams' head not explode?Now he's got Star Wars too?Can't wait.
— Harry Shum Jr (@iharryshum) May 23, 2013
We're sure you'll live long and prosper, no matter which movie you choose.

How is "The Vampire Diaries" cast and crew keeping busy during their hiatus? Well, we already knew co-executive producer Julie Plec was catching up on her reading, and now we know what star Paul Wesley is up to: attending stylish cinema events, apparently! And with comely company.

— Paul Wesley (@paulwesley) May 21, 2013
The 30-year-old took to Twitter today to share a pic of he and former "The O.C." star Ben McKenzie attending a screening of the Liberace tale "Behind the Candelabra." Though neither opted for as flamboyant of threads as the iconic performer was known to flaunt, they look pretty eye-catching, nonetheless.

We've already offered up our review of Rick Yancey's latest YA novel, "The 5th Wave," but if you're not ready to take our word for it, perhaps you'll accept this bloody-good recommendation?

With "The Bling Ring" making its debut at the Cannes Film Festival this week, critics are already weighing in with their thoughts on the Sofia Coppola-directed drama, which stars Emma Watson. But we'd like to submit that this is really the only review that matters:
I loved The @blingringmovie! Sofia Coppola is such a talented director. @emwatson and the rest of the cast were amazing! #AMustSeeFilm
— Paris Hilton (@ParisHilton) May 16, 2013
As you likely know, Paris Hilton was among those robbed by the young bandits who inspired the film. The heiress also makes a cameo appearance in the movie.

We love it when celebrities tweet at each other on the social networking site, so our hearts went soaring when we noticed this message on Keke Palmer's profile:
@hilaryduff Can you please do another tv show that I can watch that will help me get through my young adult years? #imissyoulizzie
— Keke Palmer (@KekePalmer) May 15, 2013
Maybe we should tell Keke about a little show called "Girls."

Gleeks, here's something to hold you over until the Fox song-and-dance series returns in the fall: Star Jenna Ushkowitz has penned a book, and it's out today!
"Choosing Glee: 10 Rules to Finding Inspiration, Happiness, and the Real You" is a scrapbook of sorts in which Jenna shares anecdotes, photos and keepsakes from her life to inspire readers to find their true self.
So excited today for my good friend @jennaushkowitz and her new book #choosingglee coming out today! Congrats girl!
— Lea Michele (@msleamichele) May 14, 2013
So if you've ever wondered how Jenna keeps a constant smile on her face, you might want to pick up a copy of "Choosing Glee"!

Here's one to add to the Random Trivia File: "Girls" creator Lena Dunham and "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson share a birthday. And not just the same day, mind you, but the same year as well! They both turn 27 today.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes I awoke to! I feel cyber-loved (which isn't healthy but whatever.)
— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) May 13, 2013
We already celebrated Rob's birthday earlier, but we'd be remiss letting the day pass without sending well wishes to one of our favorite "Girls." (We put a new romper in the mail for you, Lena...)
