The trailer for "Katy Perry: Part of Me" dropped last night, and maybe it's just us, but something definitely looks familiar. There are sparks, slo-mo and a super-dramatic entrance, and you know what? It kind of looks like the trailer for a few of the 3D concert movies we've seen recently: Bieber, Miley, Jo Bros and "Glee."

We took a scientific approach—as we always do—and broke down each 3D concert movie trailer to see just how similar they are to the new one for "Part of Me." The results were intriguing...and in slow motion with sparks flying in the background.

You are, in fact, not dreaming. That is an actual Taylor Kitsch quote that made our little hearts skip a beat. We could already listen to him talk 24/7 with that deep voice of his, but singing? Excuse us while we sit down.

The comment was in reference to his "Battleship" co-star Rihanna, who took a break from pop music to delve into the world of acting. Would Taylor make the reverse career change? "I wish I could, absolutely. You know the feeling where a song, like Eddie Vedder does this for me a lot, you just get pulled into it." We're pretty sure you'd need a giant crane to pull us out of any music Taylor created.

Now that we’ve all seen "The Hunger Games" on the big screen, there’s no time for basking in the glow of Gary Ross' very faithful adaptation—we have to start obsessing over the next film, "Catching Fire"!

I love "Catching Fire." In fact, it might be my favorite of Suzanne Collins’ brilliant trilogy, and the best part for me: meeting wonderful, charismatic, dreamy and heartbreaking Finnick Odair.

So who’s going to play him in the movie? We have no idea, but fans have some pretty strong opinions on the subject. More than a few Hollywood Crush readers have been vocal about their love for Zac Efron, so when we caught up with him recently during the “Lucky One” press day, naturally we had to bring up “The Hunger Games.”

I don’t know about you folks, but these "True Blood" teasers are almost too good. Especially the new one that appeared over the weekend. I forgot how much I miss this show. Is it June yet? All this waiting really does suck!

In addition to seeing a new side of my favorite character Alcide Herveaux, I’m very intrigued to see what new cast member Christopher Meloni does with his role. When I spotted him with daughter Sophie on the Kids' Choice Awards orange carpet Sunday, I had to flag him down for some scoop on what we can look forward to.

“A lot of staking,” Chris said when asked what he’ll be up to as part of the scary vampire authority. When I mentioned that his equally hunky co-star Alexander Skarsgård had been singing his praises, Chris insisted that it’s Alex who is “so hot” and joked that he’s trying hard to earn his keep.

The cast of "The Vampire Diaries" has endured a lot for their art: fast-paced stunts, fake blood, corsets, shower scenes, you name it. A crucial flashback episode coming later this season will require perhaps the most demanding training thus far: SCUBA lessons!

Having already shown us the 19th century, the '20s, "1912" and more, "The Vampire Diaries" will soon flashback to that fateful night when Elena (Nina Dobrev) lost her parents on the newly restored Wickery Bridge and was rescued by vampire Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley). We don't know who will be playing Grayson and Miranda Gilbert just yet. But we do know there'll be lots of underwater work.

"I didn't [do the SCUBA training] yet," Paul told us when Hollywood Crush caught up with the cast at the PaleyFest in Los Angeles. "I actually think I am going to go get certified. I haven't read the episode. I don't know what's going to happen. I'm actually learning things from you guys!

Jennifer Lawrence made a great Katniss Everdeen, but after seeing the trailer for her soon-to-be-released movie "The House at the End of the Street," we have a feeling that horror fans are going to start calling her by another name: Scream Queen. Jennifer actually made this little low-budget entry into the thriller genre before she scored the lead in "The Hunger Games," but it's being released this coming September—and while it's no "Catching Fire," there's definitely something to be said for seeing our favorite new leading lady racing around in a sweat-drenched tank top and totally losing her shizz.

The movie (and by extension, the trailer) is a bit of a weirdie in that it runs backward—beginning with a bedraggled-looking Jennifer escaping through a window into a creepy garage—and appears to pretty much give away the entire movie...but hey, who knows.

"Snow White and the Huntsman" is shaping up to be one of the summer's biggest blockbuster hits. With a cast that includes Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron, the epic retelling of the fairytale classic is sure to leave audiences awed by the grandeur of both the performances and cinematography.

But that's not all we have to look forward to. MTV News broke the news today that Florence + The Machine's new song "Breath of Life" will grace the film's soundtrack. There's no word yet as to who will join the lovely Flo on the music compilation, so we've come up with a wish list of artists we want to hear. Check them out after the jump and be sure to weigh in with your own in the comments!

With not one, but two Snow White-themed movies coming out this year, there's no question that some people are already picking sides—offering their allegiance to either the whimsical and comedic "Mirror Mirror," or to the dark visual-effects extravaganza of "Snow White and the Hunstman." But while fans might be picking favorites, the stars of the films themselves would never stoop to such petty and divisive behavior! Noooooo, definitely not. In fact, when Armie Hammer sat down to chat with us about his role as the handsome prince in "Mirror Mirror," he was nothing but diplomatic about this so-called competition between the films.

"I'm interested to see what they did," he mused. "I think what we did is make a movie that's family friendly. The parents are going to go to it and enjoy it almost as much as the kids are."

Everyone put on your party pants! It's time for yet another edition of After Hours, where MTV News' Josh Horowitz corners unsuspecting celebrities, the cameras start rolling and shenanigans ensue. And this time around, it's Gael Garcia Bernal who found himself in the hot seat—and the object of a much-needed Twittervention.

The situation is as follows: Gael's Twitter account is still more than 50,000 peeps shy of 1 million followers. Which is, of course, UNACCEPTABLE. So, in a moment of frank camaraderie, Josh sat him down to ask: Does he know why he's been unable to break that vital barrier of Twitter popularity?

Gael replied: "I don't put enough photos of me naked."

When it comes to the HPOCs (that's "Hot Princes On Campus") of the fairytale world, nobody sets the damsels hearts all aflutter like Charming—the ubiquitous royal bachelor who's always storming castles, slaying dragons and sneaking into enchanted bedrooms to smooch the sleeping princess (which, for some reason, was considered by fairytale folk to be deeply romantic and not date rapey at all.) But now there's a new Prince Charming on the block: the strapping but hapless loverboy of "Mirror Mirror," played by Armie Hammer. So when we sat down for a chat with Armie, we asked him: What makes this Charming different from the rest?

"Well, he's not drawn on a page, which is one of the things that makes him slightly different," Armie joked. Har, har—but seriously, sir, enough of this idle quipping! Quit messing around and give up the dish on your princely business.

Fortunately, the actor did have an insight or two about his character's unique foibles.
