Hollywood Crush › Beyonce

It's been just two days, but the internet is already crazy in love with the irreplaceable Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter born to Beyoncé and Jay-Z over the weekend in New York City. And with her mega-watt parentage, it's no surprise Blue has been welcomed into the Hollywood fold by the likes of Rihanna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Diddy, securing herself a place in the upper echelon of the famous-baby pantheon. (And, gosh, what an adorable pantheon that is.)

We, however, don't think the littlest Carter should rest on her laurels just yet. Sure, she's less than a week old, but it's never too early to star contemplating world domination. (Suri Cruise already has a five-year advantage!) To wit, we have a few suggestions for collaborations with other adorable star offspring that we'd like to see come to fruition within the next 25 years or so...

After all the great fashion on display at the Emmy Awards, the rest of Hollywood's most fashionable ladies had some tough standards to live up to this week. Some succeeded brilliantly; some missed the mark. Whose embellished party dress added the perfect glitzy kick to her red-carpet appearance? And whose feathered hemline tripped up her usually-impeccable style? Check it.

We almost overlooked Taylor Swift in the running for this week's Style Superstar—after all, it's not like we haven't seen the girl in a dozen frocks similar to this one. But y'know, there's a reason why Taylor so often opts for short, spangled dresses in champagne-y shades: They look fabulous on her! And this Elie Saab cocktail dress, which she wore to the ACM Honors this week, is a winner in every way. The sequined accents are gorgeous and keep an otherwise bland beige from washing out Taylor's pale complexion, and her red lips and sleek hairstyle set off the glam perfectly. And while it may be small potatoes after winning the ACM Entertainer of the Year Award earlier this year, we'd still like to congratulate Taylor on being this week's Style Superstar!

There were plenty of water-cooler moments during last night's MTV Video Music Awards, but the one that undoubtedly left the most tongues wagging was Beyoncé's onstage reveal that she and hubby Jay-Z are expecting their first child together. Congrats to the soon-to-be parents!

Now, we can only guess at the kinds of feverish preparations underway in anticipation of the arrival of Baby Knowles-Carter, but if we were the wagering sort, we'd bet it includes copious reading bouts of "What to Expect When You're Expecting" punctuating by shopping outings for infant-size leotards. But, really, we don't think Beyoncé needs to stress it. She's got plenty of maternal musings stockpiled into her prolific song catalog. So, as Auntie Crush's baby gift to Bey and Jay, we've rounded up five gleaming gems after the jump!

We have to give Lady Gaga props for always picking unexpected actors as her leading music video men. Of course, everything Lady Gaga does is unexpected, but her quirky casting doesn't so much leave us scratching our heads, as it does us drooling.

Gaga redefined the art of the music video when she cast "True Blood" mega babe Alexander Skarsgård as her leading man in "Paparazzi." Gaga did what most of us only dream of: canoodle in bed with the Swedish-born hottie. Sure, he turned out to be kind of a jerk in the video. But hey, hot is still hot.

We can't wait to catch the melodrama and mayhem of "The Roommate", which stars Leighton Meester as a seriously unhinged college girl who tries to steal the identity of fellow co-ed Minka Kelly—and which will likely leave a whole lot of ladies wondering whether inviting their new BFF to "Borrow my clothes anytime!" might have been a bad idea.

But while we know that Leighton worked extra hard to get this role right, she's hardly the first to tackle it. In fact, the Psycho Chick—whether she's an unbalanced flatmate, a scorned ex-girlfriend or the trampy best friend who wants to sleep with your dad (um, what?!)—is an archetypal character in modern cinema. And to celebrate her latest spot on the big screen, we've put together a list of our 10 favorite films from the Psycho Chick canon. Which movies get the prize for sweet, sexy gals who are destined for straitjackets? Read on!

Music from the motion picture? Not this time: In a bizarre twist on the usual order of things, news cropped up today that Miley Cyrus' retro-fab video for Rock Mafia's "The Big Bang" (also co-starring "Gossip Girl" actor Kevin Zegers) will likely become a feature-length film in the near future, making it one of the first ever movies based on a music video.

Hey, makes sense: We've been salivating over the potential of videos' petite plotlines and concise character arcs ever since the three-minute romance between a girl and her comic book in the video for "Take On Me." And if this is how it works now, we've got five more music videos we'd like to see stretched out to feature length. Check it after the jump!

FROM SPLASH PAGE: Now that Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and just about every other chart-topper of the last few decades have found their way into Bluewater Comics' line of unauthorized biography comics, it was only a matter of time before they turned their attention to Sasha Fierce herself, Beyoncé Knowles.

Hitting shelves in January 2011, "Fame: Beyoncé" promises to "trace Beyoncé's rise through the music business, from her early days with Destiny's Child to her booming solo career." The 32-page comic will be written by CW Cooke with art by Alex Lopez.

It's been a loooong, "Glee"-less summer, but we've finally arrived at a new season of songs, squabbles and Sue Sylvester! In the season two premiere, titled "Audition," we find friends becoming enemies and old foes forming alliances. Plus, there's plenty of fresh meat who must quickly form their own alliances.

The episode kicked off documentary-style with the always too-inquisitive Jacob asking New Directions members what they've been up to all summer. There was the obvious news (Finn and Rachel are madly in love), some over sharing (Puck had a vasectomy), an "Oh no!" revelation (Tina and Mike are dating, leaving our Artie all alone) and, well, Brittany (she spent her summer lost in the sewers.) You've got to hand it to Jacob for doling out some Sue Sylvester-like jabs and commentary (we thought we were the only ones hoping that Mr. Schue would stop rapping!)

Remember last year when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift just as she was about to accept her trophy for Best Female Video at the 2009 VMAs?

Well, we have no idea what kind of drama will go down at this year's show, but Taylor is nominated for Best Female Video once again (for "Fifteen") against Beyonce (for "Video Phone," which also featured Lady Gaga). Other ladies up for the Moonman in the category are Gaga (for "Bad Romance"), Ke$ha (for "Tik Tok") and Katy Perry (for "California Gurls").
