The titillation continues as we count down to the June premiere of "True Blood" on HBO, and today's teasing is a little bloodier than usual! The promotional poster for season five is here, and it features a sad, pale, beautifully blue-eyed somebody weeping gooey crimson tears for the return of everyone's favorite vampire sexfest. (Well, that or it's "Casino Royale" villain Le Chiffre doing his usual deranged unhappy eyeball thing... but we don't remember him being quite so pretty.)

See the full poster after the jump!

Though production is already in full swing, the casting news for Alcon Entertainment's film adaptation of "Beautiful Creatures" just keeps on coming. We couldn't be more thrilled because it's just another step closer to seeing Kami Garcia's and Margaret Stohl's best-selling novel on the big screen!

The latest: Variety reports that Kyle Gallner has been cast in the role of Larkin. The caster is a cousin to Lena Duchannes (Alice Englert) and brother to Ridley (Emmy Rossum). As an illusionist he can manipulate objects around him to look like something they're not, and while he isn't a main character, Larkin does play a key role in certain events surrounding the story's climax (but we don't want to give too much away, so make sure you pick up the book!).

Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.

Team Jacob loyalists might have had to give up the ghost on their preferred "Twilight" pairing, but die-hard fans of everyone's favorite shirtless shapeshifter might be interested to hear about his latest real-life hookup: Taylor Lautner was spotted on Monday having a dinner out with one-time girlfriend Sara Hicks, leading gossips to speculate that the two are back on track for romance. The pair has been seen hanging out in and around L.A. since January, with various sources confirming that they've been spending more time together in what may be a rekindling of their earlier relationship.

Sara, an NBA cheerleader, was Taylor's high school sweetheart before the star found fame in "The Twilight Saga"—and neither of them looked worried about being photographed as they exited the restaurant where they dined on Monday night. Which, according to the rules of both Hollywood and your average high school cafeteria, means that they are OMG TOTALLY DATING. (Or they're just platonic pals who enjoy each other's company and the same kind of food, but whatever, let's just spread rumors first and ask questions later.)

GleeIt was finally NYADA Day on "Glee"! So many internal monologues and tense conversations between Kurt and Rachel have led up to this very moment, and Ms. Rachel Berry was ready. There was no way she could choke now.

Wait. The episode was called "Choke"? She's probably going to choke.

But before that all happened, there were a few more obligatory storylines to get through.

Puck hasn't had anything to do in a while, but in this latest episode, he got a whole subplot to himself. With graduation looming, Noah Puckerman was coasting to a cap and gown. Always the concerned friend, Finn overheard him tell a sophomore that "gowns are for ladies, and tassels are for strippers." Puck was serious about graduating, but it was going to take passing his European geography exam to get him to the podium. A little canoodling with his geography teacher didn't help, as she resisted his mohawked charms, so he channeled his rage into the Alice Cooper classic "School's Out."

Douglas Booth is the latest British import to hit Hollywood. And if the Brits keep churning out cuties like Douglas we will certainly keep naming them hotties of the week. With the limited release of Miley Cyrus’ latest big-screen vehicle, “LOL,” this week, we decided to shine the spotlight on Douglas and make him this week’s Hump Day Hottie.

Check out this dreamy photo of Douglas and keep reading for more details about him!

Vital stats: The 19-year-old Londoner got his start mugging for the camera as a professional model before moving on to moving images. And, while he doesn’t like to address his personal life, in an interview with Out magazine, he danced around rumors he’s dating actress Vanessa Kirby.

"I have things going on in different countries," he explained. “You know, things come out here, then over there. ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is getting buzz on both sides of the pond, but it doesn’t really affect me. I don’t have time to think about who’s talking about what. I just want to do a decent job and then move on."

It finally happened, Crushers! After what felt like a billion-month-long pregnancy, Jessica Simpson gave birth to her daughter this morning! In a statement on Jessica's website, she wrote, "Eric and I are elated to announce the birth of our baby girl, Maxwell Drew Johnson. We are so grateful for all of the love, support and prayers we have received. This has been the greatest experience of our lives!!"

Jessica announced the baby news on Twitter with a link to her website. If you recall, she also took to Twitter to spill that her and fiancé Eric Johnson were expecting. As avid tweeters, we highly approve. Celebs have begun congratulating the "Fashion Star" judge via the social networking site, including Alyson Hannigan!

Oh, Taylor Kitsch. With his hazel eyes and luscious brown hair, he's the hunk of our daydreams who sets our little hearts fluttering. MTV News' Josh Horowitz recently got to spend some time with the "Friday Night Lights" actor for "MTV First: Battleship." Did we mention it was in Hawaii? Literally the makings of our wildest fantasies (we totally considered bribing Josh to call in sick so we could tag along).

While he sat down with Taylor, Alexander Skarsgård, Brooklyn Decker and Rihanna, he got in some Twitter questions for the incredibly attractive cast. Tweeter @AshleyB8706 brilliantly asked Taylor if he would ever date a fan. Inquiring minds want to know!

"True Blood" won't be back with its fifth season for another month yet, but for once, the waiting doesn't suck quite so badly—because the latest of those new behind-the-scenes teasers is out today, and this teeny-tiny video has just what we've been waiting for: proof that Eric Northman is BACK, baby, and in a big way.

The latest clip features Eric and Pam, and no sign whatsoever of the gentle, hoodie-wearing amnesiac who stole Sookie's heart last season. Instead, we find ourselves in the empty bar at Fangtasia, where Eric has Pam on a table...and not in a fun, sexy way, either.

"You're f---ing lying!" he growls, looming over his weeping progeny as she sobs and protests her innocence.

"I'm not lying!" Pam cries. "I swear I don't know where Russell is!"

Chances are that by now, your New Year's resolutions are kinda like last year's unsustainably trendy stiletto gladiator boots: They seemed like a great idea at the time, but after a vow to really make them work and a few self-congratulatory (if uncomfortable) outings, you eventually gave up, threw in and haven't even looked at them in months—except to push them further into the back of your closet with a vague sense of regret.

But! Just because you only went to the gym two times (okay, one and a half) before resuming your pre-2012 routine of couch potato-tude, that doesn't mean you can't revisit the ol' resolutions again! Like, maybe even right this minute! And to get you started, here's a look back at the stars of "New Year's Eve" (which is out on DVD today!) discussing their own aspirations for the coming year.

If you had told me when the episode started that last night's "Smash" would end with Ivy and Dev in a bar in Boston together, presumably about to hook up, I would have said that that was one twist even Bollywood-dance-loving "Smash" wouldn’t try to pull off. But, after introducing themselves to each other (and they totally know who they are, so the show better not try to pull some weird "We had no idea!" twist next week), the two chatted at a bar and hit it off. In the preview of next week's scenes, it appeared to show Dev and Ivy in bed together, so if everything proceeds accordingly, all I can say is: WOW.

But the ender was far from the only shocking moment last night, as "Bombshell" went on the road to Boston for its out-of-city tryout and this was the drama-filled week in which the cast and crew spent teching the show. Or, at least, most of the cast. The actor playing Joe DiMaggio had to drop out, as he had booked a pilot, which left the show high and dry just days before opening night. Luckily, Tom and Derek had a replacement: Time to bring back Michael Swift. Downside: Everyone, not just Tom, totally knew Julia had an affair with him and she was none too pleased to have him back.
