Batman can cower in his cave with Alfred. Spider-Man can weave his web elsewhere. Ryan Gosling is the only crime-fighter we need.
Though it's unclear whether he had just come from the gymnasium wearing a bicep-revealing tank top, we do know one thing (mostly) for sure: the 31-year-old has once again saved Gotham from total mayhem. According to the New York Observer, Ryan reportedly rescued a British journalist from being hit by a New York City cab yesterday.

Oh, Kit Harington. You creature from another time and place! How we enjoy traveling to a land of fantasy week after week as we watch your character, Jon Snow, deal with the hardships of life in Westeros. In honor of your medieval hotness (those lovely locks, that come-hither stare), we have named you this week’s Hump Day Hottie.
Check out this dreamy photo of Kit and keep reading for more details about him!
Vital stats: Born Christopher, this 25-year-old U.K. native studied at Worcester Sixth Form College, where he majored in drama and theatre studies, and the Central School of Speech and Drama in London. He landed the lead in the West End production of "War Horse" even before graduating.

The season three finale of "The Vampire Diaries" doesn't air until May 10, but the cast and crew aren't waiting around Mystic Falls for the bloody carnage, evidenced by a tweet today from star Nina Dobrev. "That's a wrap on Season 3!!!!!!!!!!" the actress posted, along with a cheeky photo of a tombstone memorializing The CW show's third season.

We've learned from experience that executive producer/writer Julie Plec will likely cap off the year with one doozy of a cliffhanger, but we're hoping at least a few of our burning questions will be answered in the upcoming episodes. Like, what's going to happen to pseudo-serial killer Alaric? Do the brothers Salvatore hail from Klaus' bloodline, meaning his death will be theirs? And what sort of bribes do we need to send to Atlanta to get a shirtless Jeremy scene?

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.

Anyone else quietly singing, "Jeepers Creepers, where'd ya get those peepers?" at their desk? No? Just us? Hmph.
The latest sneak from the set of Stephenie Meyer's sci-fi romance, "The Host," shows star Saoirse Ronan in full Wanda mode—her rimmed pupils are proof the interloping alien has fully taken over Melanie's body. But she hasn't completely eradicated her mind. The film follows the unlikely partnership of Melanie and Wanda as they seek out the last of Melanie's human relatives (and her love Jared).
We got a first look at those unsettling eyes last month thanks to a short teaser trailer that only left us wanting more. Unfortunately, the film is still in production, meaning we have a wee wait until a full trailer invades the web.

With the success of "The Hunger Games," everyone is starving for a piece of the feast—including The Hillywood Show. While they're mostly known for their videos of the vampire variety (see: "Twilight" and "The Vampire Diaries"), the sister production team of Hannah and Hilly Hindi have jumped on the train, heading straight for the Capitol.
In their latest parody, Hilly dons a blue wig and sequined jacket as Caesar Flickerman and begins lip-syncing Jimmy James' upbeat and catchy "Fashionista." As Caesar prepares for the initial interviews before the Games, tributes in their vibrant and outlandish fashions line up for the show to begin. Kudos to the duo for the song choice. With lyrics like "You have to show a look, have a look, or give a look / Faces, beautiful / No one ugly allowed," the song was an excellent pick for the video.

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.”

As the erstwhile sweetheart of "The Hills," Lauren Conrad seemed to have a knack for getting caught in the middle of drama—despite rarely being the cause of it. Now she's turning the tables: In her new book, "The Fame Game," LC writes from the perspective of the bad girl. Her inspiration? The people she knows in Hollywood who love to create controversy.
"I knew people who called the paparazzi on themselves! Their point of view is, 'They're going to photograph me anyway, and this way I get paid half of what they make.' I could never bring myself to do it, but it was kind of fun to write from that point of view," Lauren told Glamour for their May issue.

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.

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.
This is one "Battleship" we'd never sink. The stars of the upcoming alien-invasion thriller—including Brooklyn Decker, Alexander Skarsgård, Taylor Kitsch, Tadanobu Asano, Rihanna and director Peter Berg—gathered in Japan yesterday for a press conference in support of their May 18 release.
...And let's just say, we'd swim naked across the entire expanse of the Pacific just to be the filling in that Skarsgård-Kitsch sandwich.
