Hot off the premiere of his Tribeca Film Festival flick "Struck By Lightning," Chris Colfer will belt out Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" on tonight's episode of "Glee"—a tribute to the late singer. Talk about intimidating. We can't imagine having the guts to perform one of her songs on national television. But then, that's why Chris is on "Glee" and not us.

When MTV News caught up with the actor-turned-writer, who not only starred in "Struck by Lightning" but penned the script, he told us singing the Whitney song "terrified" him. "I've never been that scared singing a song 'cause there are so many runs and riffs and, oh God, it was so scary," he said. "I was doing it in the original key that she sang the song in, which was terrifying and hard... I've never been that scared or nervous. I literally was warming up my voice like a week in advance, like going to the vocal Olympics."

Ah, boy bands. The hip-thrusting, lyric-crooning, hair-gelled hunks of our daydreams. It started with our mothers swooning over the Monkees and the Beatles and streamed into the 90's and early aughts with 'NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys. Now with the current US takeover by British sensations One Direction and the Wanted, boy bands are making a comeback...and thank the pop gods! We can finally listen to our O-Town Pandora playlist without getting funny looks.

With the re-birth of the boy band, MTV is hosting the first-ever Battle of the Boy Bands, where fans will determine who earns the title of Greatest Boy Band of All Time. (*cough* 'NSYNC *cough*) Along with the bands mentioned above, the first round has Westlife, LFO and 98 Degrees among the 32 crews competing for the title. Round one of voting closes on Thursday at noon ET so make sure to vote for your favorite boy band ('NSYNC!) so they advance to the next round! It all leads up to the announcement of the winner on May 7. In the meantime, our beloved boys are campaigning for your support (how could you ever turn down the Wanted's cute British accents?)

After whisperings back in 2010, it looks like another series based on the supernatural stylings of Charlaine Harris is finally making its way to the small screen: Entertainment Weekly reports that the author's Harper Connelly mystery series (not to be confused with the Southern Gothic vampire sex chronicles that inspired HBO's "True Blood") is being eyed by Syfy for a new show called "Grave Sight."

Fans of the Harris signature style will recognize some familiar elements in this show-to-be: a small town, a psychic protagonist, a buried filthy history of SECRETS and LIES and MURDER, and, of course, characters with names so ridiculous that anyone sporting them in reality would be subject to a lifetime of playground beatdowns at the hands of a bully named Biff. (Current favorite: Harper's stepbrother, whose name is "Tolliver Lang." Tolliver!)

Lionsgate's newest dystopian acquisition, Patrick Ness's "Chaos Walking," has found its screenwriter. Deadline is reporting that Lionsgate has tapped "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind's" scribe, Charlie
Kaufman
, to adapt the first book in the series.

The three novels—"The Knife of Never Letting Go," "The Ask and the Answer" and "Monsters of Men"—are set on an alien planet inhabited by colonists from Earth who have been infected by something called the Noise that makes all their thoughts audible (and allegedly killed off all the women). The main characters are a boy named Todd Hewitt and a mysterious foreign girl named Viola.

In the middle of dinner at an Indian restaurant on last night's "Smash," there was a full-blown Bollywood number, "A Thousand and One Nights" with lead vocals by Dev and appearances by essentially everyone in the cast all dreaming of what they truly wanted. There’s nothing else to talk about. That’s all that you need to know. I could run down all of the updates we got about various cast members' personal lives, from Rebecca being (surprise, surprise) a drama queen with a peanut allergy, and Ivy going back to her less-than-friendly ways. I could discuss how Eileen’s new boyfriend, Nick, was the opposite of Jerry, or how Julia’s son Leo ran away for 72 hours. We’ll get there. But first we have to discuss what happened about 40 minutes into the episode. "Glee," the other fantastical musical show, has done a lot of weird, head-snapping crazy during its three seasons. But it never has done a Bollywood number. It only took "Smash" 13 episodes and one Indian dinner.

The lead up to The Dance didn’t exactly leave many clues. Rebecca, being a famous movie star, naturally wanted to hang out with super-nice Karen. The show tried to explain it away as Rebecca either sizing up her competition (when she had Karen sing in the VIP club) or just as a way for her to deal with her loneliness, but it strained believability. Karen’s not that great, regardless of what everyone on that show kept telling us.

Cassie SteeleSunny Los Angeles, sexy guys, wishes of fame and fortune and a whole lot of gritty scandals—welcome to "The L.A. Complex." A new CW series (debuting tonight) that follows six characters in different phases of their lives trying to make it in showbiz. But if you're thinking this is another show depicting the wonderful lives of rich teens, think again. Whether it's acting, dancing, comedy or music, the drama reveals the not-so-fabulous side of following your dreams and the luscious temptations along the way.

"Degrassi" veteran Cassie Steele plays Abby Vargas, a Toronto native and aspiring actress who travels to L.A. with little money and even less experience. Auditioning for pilot season proves difficult without U.S. citizenship, and when her funds start to run out, we find her toying with the possibility of taking her clothes off for fast cash.

When we spoke to the newest CW starlet, she told us why "L.A. Complex" will appeal to "Glee" fans, which of her star-studded "Degrassi" castmates she still keeps in touch with and who she has a Hollywood Crush on.

Everyone wants in on the "The Hunger Games" sequel after the first installment completely exceeded box-office expectations last month. Kellan Lutz—a fan favorite for the role of Finnick—recently said he'd love to take part in any of the films. Heck, we're even gunning for roles. We'd be extremely convincing as District 12 citizens buying bread from Peeta and gawking at Gale in the Hob.

Another actor who could see himself in Panem is "90210" hottie Matt Lanter. His dream role? Primrose Everdeen. You can totally see that, right? Us too. That's what immediately came to our minds. Not any of the male tributes, like Finnick or Blight, or even Brutus or Beetee, who find themselves in the Quarter Quell. Nope. We thought of Primrose.

These teeny-tiny behind-the-scenes "True Blood" teasers keep dribbling in, and while the wait for season five's premiere continues, as always, to suck, at least this sneak peek offers some more info than its reticent little cousins. For instance: Sam and Luna are still together! And it looks like somebody is dead! No, wait: two somebodies! Ladies and gentlemen, we have dead people! OOOOOOOH.

In this clip, our favorite shifter couple sits on the couch—in the aftermath of a tragic discovery, apparently, as Luna cries and professes stunned confusion as to how anyone could have hurt...well, whoever. (But still! Dead people!) Sam, always a good dude, asks how he can comfort her...but before any comforting can take place, or any additional info can be leaked out to the slavering audience, there is a NOISE.

Well, Gleeks, it looks like Lauren Zizes quitting New Directions and dumping Puck was the beginning of the end for Ashley Fink's character on "Glee." Despite promises from series creator Ryan Murphy that she'd stick around for a new story line with her BFF Chris Colfer, Ashley is not returning to the Fox musical series.

The actress spoke with The Insider saying, "It is what it is. Lauren's somewhere in that school, she's just not on camera or being talked about [laughs]. She's involved in activities that aren't televised."

Let's be honest, we all have a Hollywood Crush—a cutie whose sheer existence inspires countless fever dreams and inestimable hours of Google Image gawking. For a lucky few, those fantasies become reality when faced with said star...in real life. Welcome to How I Met My Hollywood Crush, in which readers recall the time they rubbed elbows with their special celebrity someone!

Ryan Koleda tells us about the time she went to meet the cast of "Saturday Night Live" and ended up bumping into her ultimate celeb crush—"Gossip Girl" star and British bad boy Ed Westwick!

One Saturday, while visiting a friend and her sister in New York City, we decided to try to meet the cast of "Saturday Night Live." It was a cold, January night, so once it was time to go, we bundled up and left for our adventure.

In order to make the time pass, my friend’s sister and I played a little game. We kept pretending to see Drake, whom my friend absolutely adores. She was not so easily fooled and kept ignoring us. Subsequently, when I randomly exclaimed, “Ed Westwick??!!” my friend did not believe me. As I recall, her reply was, “Oh, Ryan, shut up.” Because why would Ed Westwick be at "Saturday Night Live"? But much to her surprise when she turned around he was really there, walking out of the studio.
