The stills keep rolling in for "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," and this time around, our gallery of photos from the film just increased its Hipster Quotient by a factor of five. In the latest image to be released, we've got Emma Watson (looking every inch the cute academic in a red plaid skirt) and Logan Lerman (looking like he slept in his suit jacket), checking out that most hipsteriffic of all hipster-phernalia, a vintage typewriter (though to be fair, the film is set in the early '90s before iPads were even a thing...).

Given the indie cred of this charming flick—and its literary leanings—the presence of the typewriter seems to make sense. Less explicable are the expressions on the faces of our stars, who both look somewhat distressed by this turn of events. But why? Is something wrong with the typewriter? Is it broken? Did Logan borrow it from Emma under strict orders to take good care, then bring it back with the shift key missing and peanut butter all wedged up in the machinery? How could he be so careless?!

Get ready to have your mind blown by Seasonal Cuteness: There's a new still out for the hotly awaited "Perks of Being a Wallflower," and you guys, there are holiday sweaters involved.

The pic, tweeted out by Paradiso Films, shows the kids of the cast—including the eminently crushworthy Logan Lerman and the always charming Emma Watson—sitting on a couch in their holiday finery, flanked by poinsettias and presents. So sweet! So seasonal! It's like a belated Christmas present!

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.

Wizardess Hermione Granger may be long behind her, but Emma Watson is still casting spells—on boys. The 21-year-old actress was snapped yesterday in London shopping with (and getting a kiss from) a mystery man. A very cute mystery man, we should add.

The "My Week With Marilyn" star is notoriously tight-lipped about her love life, though she did open up to Seventeen last summer, revealing her "Harry Potter" crush (Tom Felton!) and admitting she's not much for mind manipulation.

"I’m a terrible game player," she said. "I’m so impatient—it’s one of my worst traits! If I want to see someone, I want to see them, and if I don’t, then I don’t. My friends are always telling me I have to play hard to get because I’ll pretty much say to a guy, 'I like you—let’s go hang out.' But my friends are like, 'You can’t do that! You have to string this guy along.' And I’m just like, 'No! I won’t! I just want to go on the date!' It’s a nightmare—I definitely haven’t figured it out yet.”

We're already looking forward to cataloging the fashion and finery of next year's most well-dressed celebs—but before we get crazy in 2012, we have to look back on a year of Style Superstars! And today, we're giving top honors to five lovely ladies who really wowed us with their haute couture-itude over the past 12 months.

Emma Stone was a frequent contender for best-dressed all year, but her coral-colored Carven gown was one of our favorite looks of 2011.

Jamie Chung didn't just kick some butt in "Sucker Punch"; she was a knockout on the red carpet at the film's premiere in this Giambattista Valli dress with its gorgeous, golden draping.

With all the outings for the "Twilight" cast this year, it's no surprise that a Cullen family member was one of our most stylish stars! Ashley Greene sported lots of lovely looks during premiere events for "Breaking Dawn," but it was her Ferragamo ensemble at the presentation of the 2012 collection—an out-of-character design for her—that really caught our eye.

Emma Watson has a relatively small supporting role in the soon-to-be-released "My Week With Marilyn"... but that didn't stop us from jumping all over this EXCLUSIVE peek at one of her scenes!

Emma, sporting sideswept bangs and looking every inch the seductively adorable 1950s sweater girl, plays a wardrobe assistant and love interest to Eddie Redmayne's Colin Clark. And in this charming clip, she rejects his advances.

And rejects them.
And rejects them.
And... alright, fine, she's free on Saturday, you persistent-but-strangely-alluring doofus.

And the people have chosen! Er... chosen who we're all choosing from, that is: the People's Choice Awards announced their nominations this afternoon, after months of open voting from fans. And while there's no showing for "Twilight" this year, we can't help noticing that there are a whole lot of crushworthy wizards, witches and even a vampire or two who'll make this year's People Choice show one to watch closely.

For starters, the wizarding world got a lot of attention this time around: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" made a command appearance in two separate fave film categories, but where it really dominated was in the "Favorite Actors Under 25" slot. Four out of the five favorite folks here are Hogwarts alumni, with Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Tom Felton all claiming a spot in the running. (Lonely Chloe Moretz is the only non-magical nominee...although her turn as a creepy kid vampire in "Let Me In" certainly falls in with the supernatural theme.)

For a narrative ripe with sex, drugs and angst, the stars of 2012's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" appear surprisingly...studious.

A set of stills from Stephen Chbosky's narrative have hit the web, and once again, we find leads Emma Watson and Logan Lerman hitting the books. Albeit, this time they've moved their study sesh out of the library and into some sort of eatery. (I've long believed tater tots are the secret to infinite wisdom...)

No, this is not an after-effect of Hermione Granger's Time-Turner.

For her latest film, "My Week With Marilyn," Emma Watson cuts a fine '50s form as Lucy, a wardrobe assistant toiling on the Ms. Monroe's movie "The Prince and the Showgirl."

Co-starring Michelle Williams (as Marilyn) and Eddie Redmayne (as Colin Clark), the biopic is based on Colin's account of the on-set strife between Marilyn and fellow actor Laurence Olivier.

It's been awhile since the last update on the cinematic doings of Logan Lerman, lightning thief, or Emma Watson, top witch of Gryffindor House—and honestly, it's hard to imagine these two fine young actors playing roles that are anything other than the supernaturally gifted characters they made famous. But today, the very first official sneak peek at their latest project found its way into our inboxes: two new stills from the hotly-anticipated upcoming film, "Harry Potter and the Perks of Being A Percy"!

...Wait, that came out wrong.

Actually, it's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," and our two young Hollywood stars couldn't look less like a wizard and demigod—especially Emma, who's still rocking a super-short haircut and sporting a varsity letterman jacket that would be extremely out of place at Hogwarts. And as for Logan... well, there's no trident in sight. Instead, the pair look to be playing a couple of very ordinary American students, on a very ordinary (okay, extremely green and pretty) high school campus.

The cast of one hotly anticipated YA adaptation are discovering the "Perks" of being inducted into MTV News' The New Class.

All week long, we've been doling out superlatives to 10 of Hollywood's hottest up-and-comers, but today is extra-special as we bring you an EXCLUSIVE first look at the coming-of-age tale "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," starring four (yes, FOUR!) of our New Class inductees.

Based on the 1999 novel by Stephen Chbosky, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" follows introverted high school freshman Charlie as he slowly comes out of his shell thanks to new friends, siblings Sam (played by Emma Watson) and Patrick (played by Ezra Miller). We recently caught up with the cast on set, where they were filming the homecoming scene, to get the scoop on the talent-heavy production.

"I feel incredible about it. I feel like I've been waiting for 'Perks,' " Emma, who we dubbed Most Likely To Win An Oscar, said. "I was waiting for this story, for this script, for this moment, for these people to do it with me. I'm so glad I didn't do anything that I didn't care about."
