Hollywood Crush › Katy Perry

It's a tale as old as time, yet one we never tire of. Twenty years after its debut, Disney is re-releasing a 3D version of its classic "Beauty and the Beast," meaning a whole new generation will have "Be Our Guest" stuck in their heads for the next five weeks or so.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we decided to fawn over a few of our favorite beauties and their beasts. Because little else tugs at the heartstrings as tightly as a pretty person holding an equally adorable animal. There's songstress Taylor Swift and her cuddly kitty, Meredith, (named after a certain dramatic doc on "Grey's Anatomy"), Selena Gomez and her precious puppy, Baylor, (which she adopted with BF Justin Bieber) and Katy Perry and her similarly named feline, Kitty Purry.

Haute couture was out in full force this week as movie premieres and awards season nomination events made stars break out their glammest gowns. And while everyone looked fabulous, two lovely ladies stood out for their inventive and intuitive abilities to match their dresses to their bodies' natural (or, in some cases, not-so-natural) palettes. Who scored top honors for her all-over golden glow? And which pink lady should've added another hue into the mix? It's all right here.

Elizabeth Olsen might be a newcomer to the Hollywood scene, but she's got her red-carpet look down like a pro: romantic waves, soft makeup, a champagne-silky clutch and a Valentino dress whose neutral-and-gray pattern plays perfectly with her naturally golden hair and big blue eyes. With its classic long lines and subtle print, this gown doesn't push the envelope—and that's totally okay for an actress who's been the picture of quiet confidence ever since she became one of the most talked-about breakout performers of the year. We have a feeling this won't be Elizabeth's first Style Superstar win!

Okay, so we know that Lionsgate did a perfectly fine job casting actual actors like Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson in "The Hunger Games," but considering that the MTV Video Music Awards are thisclose and that the flick's first footage will make its debut during said ceremony, we thought it would be fun to cast the flick using—you guessed it!—some of the biggest nominees from the night.

So, here we go with "The Hunger Games: Pop-Star Edition"!

The 2011 MTV Video Music Award nominees were announced last night, and as you might expect, divas like Katy Perry and Adele lead the charge with nine and seven nods each. While there's no doubt it's been a good year for the gurls, when we took a closer look at the list, we noticed another interesting piece of trivia: a number of the nominees have also been covered by McKinley High's New Directions! (You know what they say about great minds...)

When our two worlds collide, we just can't help but comment, so keep reading after the jump to see which ditties' praises are being sung by both the VMAs and "Glee"!

The second wave of Teen Choice Award nominations are here! And apparently the nominations committee has been reading Hollywood Crush because many of our favorites made the cut for the big show, which takes place next month in L.A.

Talk about welcome wedding crashers! Gossip Cop reports that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez made a surprise appearance at two strangers' post-nuptial reception, after the wedding DJ played Justin's "One Less Lonely Girl" for the gathered guests. No, it wasn't a planned cameo; the pair overheard the song during a nighttime stroll on the beach and decided to see where the music was coming from. The two popped in, posed for pictures with the newlywed couple and their guests, and then politely took their leave. (No word on whether they stayed long enough to eat cake.)

Meanwhile, we couldn't help thinking about which other celebrity couples we'd love to have as surprise, uninvited guests at one of the 3 million weddings we have to attend this summer. For instance...

Katy Perry often wears candy-colored clothes, hitting red carpets in light pinks, violets and shimmering metallics, but on occasion she takes her love of all things sugary literally, wearing clothes that actually resemble something from the dessert menu.

The starlet's most recent fling with sweet style was on the cover of Rolling Stone, where she donned a a Hershey's Kisses bra, flaunting her very, very famous assets. In honor of this dessert display, let's take a look back at Katy's scrumptious sartorial sense.

Boy, was there a lot to keep track of during the second season of "Glee." Emma had lingering feelings for Will but then married (and subsequently divorced) her sexy dentist Dr. Carl. Sue Sylvester flip-flopped between evil schemer and heartfelt friend, and exes Quinn and Finn's feelings for one another came and went faster than Sunshine Corazon in the halls of McKinley High School.

Still, no matter how many revolving story lines showed up in "Glee" this year, one thing was always constant: seriously great music. Not only did New Directions give their own original songs such as "Loser Like Me" a go (something they will do again during tonight's episode) but they covered some classics and modern favorites. As we count down to tonight's eagerly anticipated season finale (9 p.m. on Fox after "American Idol"), we wanted to look back at the five best songs and performances from this past year!

The "Thor" premiere is fast approaching and bringing new meaning to the phrase "oh my god." The latest solo "Avenger" comic book flick stars Chris Hemsworth (as in the hunky brother of Miley Cyrus beau/future Gale Hawthorne Liam Hemsworth), and the young stars are of the film are just as excited as we are about the movie. Kat Dennings (pictured) started the day off with a hyperactive stream of excitement, tweeting, "THOR THOR THOR THOR THOR THOR THOR THOR THOR #THOR." Co-star Jaimie Alexander was a little more coherent about looking forward to the big premiere. "Woohooo very excited for the #THOR premiere tonight!!!!!! :)" she tweeted.

Comic-influenced wasn't the only variety of crime fighting that was a hot topic today. Like the rest of the country, many stars were quick to voice their opinions about the news that terrorist Osama bin Laden was killed over the weekend. Rob Thomas was happy about the news, tweeting, "don't get me wrong. i can't remember ever being GLAD someone was dead and i'm glad he is. i just know there's already another in his place." Ryan Seacrest tweeted about the news' affect on the city of New York, "Being in NYC late last night was incredible. People chanting "USA! USA!" Bars handing out American flags & free champagne."

Going green is something lots of our famous faves advocate year round, so we wouldn't expect anything less than extra encouragement from them on Earth Day. Today, environmentally conscience celebs used Twitter as a platform for celebrating and sharing plans for making our world a happier, healthier place. Everyone from "Pretty Little Liars"' Ian Harding (pictured) to Jessica Alba was giddy for Green today. While Ian tweeted a simple "Happy earth day!" reminder, fellow ABC Family star Megan Park took it a step further, encouraging fans to get out, even posting a nature-centric picture of herself doing the same. "Happy Earth Day! Go hug a tree http://plixi.com/p/94860427" Jessica Alba tweeted a request for fans' Earth Day plans, encouraging them to tweet back. "Happy Earth Day tweeples! I'd love to know what you all are doing in honor of Earth Day today."

Today was a double holiday for some, and those stars planning trips or family time for the Easter weekend shared their excitement. Hunk Hugh Jackman's tweet (and the attached pic) made us pretty jealous, "Oh what a beautiful morning!!! Happy Easter from Carmel. http://twitpic.com/4o0q48" Hilary Duff shared her Easter plans— volunteer work with big sis Haylie. "Now heading to Los Angeles mission to feed people for Easter and hand out candy baskets to the kidos with @hayliek!!" she tweeted.
