Are you ready for some football, Crushers?! This Sunday the New Orleans Saints will face off against the Indianapolis Colts for Super Bowl XLIV. But before all the action starts, we wanted to indulge in some of our favorite hotties in movies and television to ever throw a pigskin around. So, follow with us as we score the all-time best in gridiron guys — they make us wish every day was a game day.

Paul Walker in "Varsity Blues"

James Van Der Beek may have been the star of this Texas high school football melodrama (he didn't want your life!), but it was Paul Walker as injured quarterback Lance Harbor that made us want to take up sports medicine and help the hottie lick his wounds. Figuratively, of course.

Being assigned to recap mens fashion at the Golden Globe Awards is a pretty sweet gig. Not only do I get to stare at dreamy men for a few hours, but, let's be real, all those good lookin' fellows pretty much wear the same thing—a well-tailored tuxedo. Nonetheless, there were certainly several hunks who caught our eye tonight, so without further ado, here are our top five.

"New Moon" hunk and Golden Globes presenter Taylor Lautner was dapper in a Calvin Klein Collection black tuxedo that looked to have a bit of a shimmer to it. The 17-year-old was a good sport on the red carpet, cracking jokes about hanging out at the Olive Garden and looking for a girl who "can be themselves."

Cory Monteith

Hails From: Calgary, Alberta

In 2009: The high school dropout ironically found fame and glory on "Glee," a show about high school. He plays Finn Hudson, the show's hunky football player-turned-glee clubber.

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.

Even though new episodes of "Glee" don't air until April (APRIL!), the cast of the hit series has plenty to celebrate. Not only did word come today that the show is being picked up for a second season, but it's also nominated for four Golden Globes, including Best Television Series, Comedy or Musical. We Spotted! our favorite William McKinley High students (and a few of the faculty) celebrating their nods at an InStyle-sponsored soiree at Hollywood's Sunset Tower over the weekend. Though Lea Michele and Dianna Agron's characters fight on camera for the affections of Cory Monteith's footballer Finn, they couldn't be closer off set—literally. It's a "Glee" sandwich!

To see more of the FOX musical's cast at the fete, including Mark Salling, Amber Riley and Chris Colfer, click on the photo above. After the jump, find out which "Jersey Shore" star was partying it up in a very different Hollywood.

Even weeks after the shocking season finale of "Dexter" Hollywood can't seem to get enough of Showtime's serial killer drama and it's leading man, Michael C. Hall (pictured). Paramore front woman Hayley Williams told fans about her dream "Dexter" scenario, posting, "Dear God, please let today be the day that I meet Michael C. Hall wearing a lab coat and goggles. Amen," which prompted Panic! At The Disco lead singer Brendon Urie to respond, "Dexter be praised." While fans of "Dexter" wait impatiently for the series' return, "Glee" watchers got a little Twitter treat from stars Lea Michele and Cory Monteith, who posted pics of one another at dance rehearsals. Lea snapped and shared, "Cory at DANCE!!!!!! http://yfrog.com/3l3tllj" while Cory put up, "dance rehearsallllllllllll http://twitpic.com/wxuwe."

Of course, fans of both shows ("Glee" is gunning for Best New Comedy, while "Dexter" is, naturally, up for TV Obsession) will be cheering them on during tonight's People's Choice Awards (which, FYI, we'll be LIVE BLOGGING!) Stars attending (or simply trying to get in last-minute votes) took to their Twitters before the big event. "Accidentally On Purpose" (another nominee for Best New Comedy) star Jenna Elfman reminded fans, "I'll be presenting an award @ People's Choice Awards." Pete Wentz plugged an RT about his pals in Cobra Starship, "Cobra Starship to perform @ People's Choice Awards w Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls http://bit.ly/4rlv3Y http://myloc.me/2Fx6t" And not that we needed much reminding to do this, but the official "Twilight" twitter urged fans to, "support The Twilight Saga - Rob, Kristen and Taylor are all nominated!"

Check out the rest of today's best celebrity tweets, including how Justin Bieber felt about us giving him (and Taylor Swift) a "Jersey Shore" makeover and which "Gossip Girl" writer joined the inner circle of the Twitterverse.

The cast of the hit Fox television show "Glee" can sing...no doubt about that. But dancing was a new frontier for most of them, particularly the leads Lea Michele and Cory Monteith. Lea had made her name known on Broadway starring in the musical "Spring Awakening" but no fancy toe-tapping was required, and Cory is new to the game altogether.

So off to dance academy they went, as you'll see in the exclusive clip below from the "Season 1, Volume 1" DVD released (out in stores now). Check it out.

Good news, Crushers: We've made our list, checked it twice, and found out that you've been nice this year. Very nice. So nice, in fact, that we've got a present for you! If you ever dreamed of waking up and finding Zac Efron, Robert Pattinson, Ian Somerhalder, Cory Monteith, and Alexander Skarsgard under your tree (um, who hasnt?!?), well ... this is the second-best thing.

Unfortunately we couldn't get these guys to deliver any gifts themselves (something about spending time with their families and not enough money or time in the world), but the Elf Yourself video we made of the holiday hotties is just as great. I can't decide which part is my favorite — the boys tiny little elf hands and feet as they're dancing at the end, seeing Ian emerge from a gift and shout "five golden rings," or the fact that a brooding Edward Cullen is singing high-pitched elf songs in a cute little elf outfit. You know that's something you've always wanted to see.

Check out your gift below! Happy Holidays from all of your friends at Hollywood Crush!

Is it spring yet, Gleeks?! Besides some looming cliffhangers in last night’s fall finale, that was the one question racking my brain. How in the world will we wait that long to find out the next chapter of our favorite McKinley High School students and staff? Well, until that glorious day, let’s talk about “Sectionals,” shall we?

A lot of major issues finally came to a head tonight, including the Puck-Quinn-Finn-Rachel love quadrilateral. When Rachel finally picks up (she’s psychic, in case you didn’t know) on the chemistry between Quinn and Puck, the gang knows it’s not long before she blabs the baby daddy truth to Finn. The timing couldn’t be worse for Finn who finally feels optimistic that winning sectionals could make his currently troubled life a little bit better. The news clearly levels Finn, as he, in turn, sucker punches Puck (don’t you agree he sort of deserved it?) whereas Quinn opts to not hit tattle tale Rachel (who pleaded Quinn punch her anywhere but the nose) and, instead, face the music.

If we didn't know better, we'd think FOX's hit musical series "Glee" were gearing up for a "West Side Story"-like duel, pitting the ranks of former "Wicked" and "Spring Awakening" stars in a fight to the finish (or at the very least, a saucy sing-off). We already knew Lea Michele's former "Spring Awakening" costar Jonathan Groff would be doing a guest arc on the series, but now comes word that Broadway actress Idina Menzel (also known as Mrs. Taye Diggs), will be the second "Wicked" star to walk the halls of William McKinley High. (Kristin Chenoweth being the first).

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Idina is in talks with the network to appear in the nine remaining episodes of the season as the coach to rival glee club Vocal Adrenaline. Rumors had been swirling that Idina was pining for the role of Rachel's birth mom (the two do share an uncanny resemblance), but we're pretty stoked to see the Broadway vet on the show regardless. And we'd be even more jazzed if her real-life hubby made a cameo. (The pair were in "Rent." It wouldn't be a stretch. C'mon, people!)

Was there anyone whose been more surprising in pop culture this year than Susan Boyle? The "Britain's Got Talent" hopeful turned overnight internet sensation clearly wasn't destined for just 15 minutes. Boyle's debut album topped the album charts this week with 700,000 copies moved. The Billboard queen got a lot of love today in the celebrity Twitterverse, and some will surprise you. Gossip blogger Perez Hilton, who isn't always so kind had nothing but nice things to say about the singer, posting, "Not sure why I feel a bit embarrassed to admit it, but....I really like the Susan Boyle album. There, I said it." He wasn't the only one giving props to Boyle, as "Ugly Betty" actor Michael Urie 'fessed up that he was, "definitely listening to Susan Boyle at the gym right now." Heck, even rapper Talib Kweli tweeted, "Susan Boyles a hustla...everybody else just playin"

But, SuBo wasn't the only one getting a little Twitter love today. "Glee" star Cory Monteith had nothing but love Jude Law (pictured) — uh can you blame him? — posting, "Go see Jude Law as Hamlet before it closes, I pray you! Truly amazing."Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" star Kat Dennings may or may not have gotten around to seeing "Hamlet" yet, but she did finally make it to "New Moon," though the experience left her somewhat baffled. She wrote, "Saw 'New Moon' out of loyalty to my dear @peterfacinelli ...and I would like to know why all the werewolves wear jean shorts. Nevernudes?" You can field that one for Kat, Tweet Dreamers!

Check out the rest of today's best tweets out of Hollywood, from Ian Somerhalder wrapping things up on "The Vampire Diaries" season (sigh!) to Khloe Kardashian fighting off those pesky troubled romance rumors.
