Welcome to the second installment of Celebrity Sorting Hat! In anticipation of the boy wizard's grand finale, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" (out July 15), we're letting you—the fans!—decide which house some of your favorite celebrities would belong in if they attended Hogwarts. (As a refresher, descriptions of each option are after the polls.)

Yesterday, we took a look at the cast of "Twilight," and today we turn our attention to the bevy of pop stars whose songs we just can't get out of our heads. Would Lady Gaga fit in at Ravenclaw? Is Britney a secret Hufflepuff? Vote below and we'll reveal the results next week before "Harry Potter"'s big premiere!

And don't forget to mosey on over to MTV Movies Blog to participate in their Harry Potter World Cup! It's down to the Elite Eight!

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!

You know you’re in for an interesting night when Justin Bieber arrives in a gold blazer, and last night’s Billboard Music Awards proved to be exactly that. From surprising duets to unexpected cameos (it's Britney, bitch!), the ceremony had plenty of awesome moments, but what really caught our attention was the red carpet fashion. The guys and gals, including Selena Gomez, Rihanna and more, wore outfits ranging from totally glam to slightly absurd. We highlight some of the more noteworthy looks below.

If Justin's goal last night was to shock us (or is it wow us? We're not sure yet!), he definitely succeeded. The Biebs hit the red carpet in a gold blazer (with SHIMMER) and a black tie that totally had us doing a double-take. Admittedly, we kinda prefer Justin in black-on-black, but we can't blame the guy for stepping things up a notch. After all, he did have to hold his own next to girlfriend (did you see that smooch they shared?!) Selena, who looked totally fab in a black Dolce&Gabbana gown with cut-outs at the waist. Sel paired the chic gown with some striking red heels and wore her hair flat-iron straight (great choice!).

Usually when it comes to red carpets, we're all about the sleek and the chic, but once a year we're willing to make an exception for the an event where over-the-top fashion is not only encouraged but expected. We're talking of course about the Met Costume Institute Gala Benefit, where the motto is go big or go home. Luckily, the event, which was attended last night by a mix of stars from various genres you generally don't see sharing a red carpet, including Kristen Stewart, Taylor Swift and Lea Michele, didn't disappoint. The night, which was in honor of legendary designer Alexander McQueen this year, was flooded with trends we've seen before this season, including lots of nude and red gowns and a heavy dose of sparkles, but they all had a fresh and very dramatic flare. Check out our fashion recap below to find out who brought their best and who brought the crazy.

Now, Kristen hasn't always made the cut on our best-dressed lists, but last night she earned a spot right at the very top. KStew arrived on the carpet in a sleeveless, dark red Proenza Schouler floor-length gown with black circular patterns. The look was clean and modern and her hair and makeup were simply flawless. Like Kristen, "Twilight" co-star Ashley Greene has also wavered when it comes to our fashion recaps, but last night she made our jaws drop in a stunning, strapless nude gown by Donna Karan. The beaded outfit stood in stark contrast to Kristen's modern style, but we loved it just as much. Also, bonus points for the classic up-do and dangling earrings—a perfect choice to accompany her dramatic gown.

After months of speculation and headlines, today the world found out just who Kate Middleton had picked as her royal wedding dress designer. Kate looked sleek and sophisticated in an Alexander McQueen gown—designed by Sarah Burton, the label's creative director—when she married Prince William in Westminster Abbey.

An official statement from the royal family sums up why Kate chose the forward-thinking, U.K.-based fashion house, crediting it for combining "tradition and modernity with the artistic vision that characterizes ... McQueen's work." Sarah joined Alexander McQueen in 1997 and took over the brand's designing duties in 2010, after McQueen's unexpected death in February.

The Duchess of Cambridge joins a long list of celebrities who have donned McQueen for important public events. Here are some of our favorites:

We all know Rihanna (pictured) is kind of fabulous. Remember "SOS" and how impossible it was to get out of your head? It probably seems like forever ago, considering all of the RiRi songs we've gone crazy for since, but it was only back in 2006. With "S&M" becoming her 10th No. 1 single, Rihanna is now officially the artist with the shortest time span between a first and 10th No. 1 hit. She tweeted a big thank you to her fans, saying, "#RihannaNavy is #MAJAH !!!!! That is all." Britney Spears also wished Rihanna well after the Barbados beauty thanked Brit and her fans for their support, tweeting, "Congrats @Rihanna. Song is fierce! Anytime girl... -Britney"

For those tweeters not busy topping charts and breaking records, today was all about relaxation. Some of our favorite lovely ladies decided to spend the day on some well-deserved primping. "Step Up" star (and lucky owner of Channing Tatum's heart) Jenna Dewan went for the full R&R treatment, tweeting, "One day to get it all done..nails, vegan glory, hair..you know, the important things in life." "Dancing With the Stars" favorite Julianne Hough was super-excited to find a nail salon that felt like home. "I just found THE CUTEST nail salon in Miami... It's so feminine and girly... I LOVE it!" she tweeted.

Check out the rest of Wednesday's best tweets, including which musician supports a "Glee"-for-all when it comes to music. Follow us @hollywoodcrush to get even more celebrity and pop culture news around the clock!

Over the weekend, celebrities of all sorts settled into the uncomfortably warm temperatures of India, California, to check out buzz bands and headlining acts at the Coachella music festival, where artists like Arcade Fire, Kanye West, Kings of Leon and The Strokes took the stage. The event also gave celebrities the opportunity to don their best desert wear, which with temperatures into the 100s, was focused on cool and comfortable.

Lea Michele went short and sweet in her little, stripped polo dress, while Katy Perry went pinup chic in her big, white glasses and black and red checker print top. Rihanna wore her bright red hair big and loose and paired her denim shorts with a black tank and military jacket.

Back in the 1990s, we spent approximately 95 percent of our leisure time either watching "The Bodyguard," listening to the soundtrack from "The Bodyguard" or prancing around in front of our bedroom mirror and shamelessly belting an off-key version of "I Will Always Love You" into a hairbrush microphone while simultaneously having naughty, naughty fantasies about making out with Kevin Costner on an airport tarmac.

Which is to say, we are not totally sure about the news, reported yesterday by Deadline, that Warner Bros is planning to remake "The Bodyguard" for contemporary audiences. But they are! According to the studio, the movie will contain some digital-era updates (threats of bodily harm via Twitter, anyone?) and hopes to provide a current young singer with the same shot to fame that the 1992 film gave Whitney Houston. And since casting hasn't begun yet, we're throwing our top picks into the mix! Which lady vocalist should be bodyguard-ed in the reboot? Our suggestions are as follows:

The Oscars are known for the best dresses and the Golden Globes are now known for Ricky Gervais’ hilarious celebrity jabs, but the glorious Grammy Awards are known for bringing out the crazy in music’s leading stars. From Jennifer Lopez’s infamous navel-grazing Versace in 2000 to M.I.A.’s polka-dot covered baby bump in 2009, musicians take way more fashion risks than their actor counterparts. The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards definitely lived up to our expectations, with some of our fave stars bringing on multiple doses of crazy. Keep reading to find out who our top six craziest singers were from last night’s Grammys!

Do we even have to say it? The craziest appearance at the Grammys was undeniably Lady Gaga. While we have a feeling she wasn’t actually born out of a giant plastic egg, it served as an in-your-face metaphor for her latest hit single, "Born This Way." Frankly, the obviousness of it all had us slightly disappointed, but with scantily-clad egg carriers in tow and a performance that began on the red carpet, Gaga takes the crazy cake.

Happy New Year to the best readers in the world! (Psst, that means you!) While we were busy watching the ball drop (and watching Snooki drop in a ball), all our favorite celebs were off gallivanting around the world to celebrate the start of 2011. Some of them partied it up in Las Vegas while others headed outside of the country to ring in the new year in style.

Most adorably, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart headed to the same Isle of Wight bar they celebrated at last year, and continued to be good sports and pose with fans. We didn't call them our best couple of 2010 for nothing!

Half of Hollywood headed to Las Vegas to ring in the new year at the grand opening of Marquee Nightclub. No, seriously, everyone was there. Find out who hugged it out and who might be Hollywood's hot new young couple after the jump!
