Hollywood Crush › Teen Choice Awards

Yesterday I gushed a bit about the fact that the members of the "Pretty Little Liars" cast are super cuties who brighten my day every time I see them. That's still true, but I do have to admit that I have a soft spot in my heart for Troian Bellisario. First, her name is awesome and fun to say. Second, she is so well-spoken and bright. Third, she and boyfriend—recent Hump Day Hottie Patrick J. Adams—are not only adorable, but they seem pretty normal.

But I digress, the point of this story is to showcase a brief chat that I had with Troian at the Teen Choice Awards, during which she revealed the cast has not only wrapped their always cliffhanger-y mid-season finale, but that there's something extra special in store for fans.

"We just finished filming the mid-season finale, which is going to air at the end of this season," Troian said. "And we filmed another very special episode that's kinda, I can't tell you anything about it, but it's going to be really, really fun for the fans."

Those "Pretty Little Liars" are up to so much mischief nowadays that I can't keep track of all the tears, fears, hook-ups and other assorted dramz-filled shenanigans. Here's what I do know, no matter what their characters are and aren't doing, all of the cast members are freakin' cute as buttons, and I love chatting with them whenever I get the chance.

Case in point, my recent run-in with a few Rosewood-dwellers at Sunday's Teen Choice Awards (where their series picked up a surfboard for Choice Summer TV Show and Lucy Hale and Ian Harding won for Choice Summer TV Star Female and Choice Summer TV Star Male). One Mr. Tyler Blackburn told me that despite his character's departure for California to meet his birth mom, he thinks Caleb and Hanna have a future ahead of them.

"My character really had a cover on himself emotionally, and now he's really starting to open up and evolve," Tyler said. "He's in a relationship with somebody he loves, and he's going to start dealing with some personal issues that Hanna will help him through."

We always kinda figured that the hot young stars of "The Twilight Saga" would dine out every night at the hottest restaurants in town—wolfing down mountains of high-end caviar and eating rare, peculiar meat products off the naked backs of beautiful slaves. But, um, apparently not? Because when MTV News caught up with Ashley Greene at the Teen Choice Awards, the girl was giving rave reviews to the culinary talents of none other than co-star Kellan Lutz.

"I was so excited, the place we ended up staying at, literally a block away was Whole Foods," she gushed. "Me and Kellan get excited sometimes, like, let's just buy everything! We're gonna cook every night!"

Taylor Lautner was having a blast at last night's Teen Choice Awards, and no wonder! He's still riding the high of having seen "Breaking Dawn" not once, not twice, but multiple times. And when we caught up with him on the red carpet (after first confirming that there would be no shenanigans at this awards show on a par with the epic Rob-Tay smooch from the MTV Movie Awards), we had to ask: HOW IS IT?!!!

"I saw it for the first time while we were still filming," Taylor explained. "I've seen several versions since then, and it's getting better and better."

Nikki Reed is no bridezilla. In fact, the "Breaking Dawn" star might just have to arm wrestle fiance Paul McDonald for wedding planning duties. When we caught up with the bride-to-be at Sunday's Teen Choice Awards, she revealed that Paul's taking more ownership of the nuptial errands than he previously led on.

"He's doing a lot of it," Nikki explained. "He is. He's, like, taking control. He sits with his computer in between songs and just is on a roll with everything."

The Gibson Amphitheatre's A/C system must have been working overtime last night considering the outsized collection of scorching hot stars gathered for the Teen Choice Awards. I mean, Robert Pattinson and Ian Somerhalder in the same room? Can you say fire hazard? Happily, the ceremony—hosted by "The Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco—went off without a hitch (or blaze), and there were plenty of Choice moments to rehash this morning. So without further ado, here's our list of the five we're still talking about:

Choice Acceptance Speech
Choice Movie Actor: Romantic Comedy winner Ashton Kutcher tried to start the night off on a serious note, offering up the best piece of advice he received as a teen ("Don't put anything on a credit card that you don't have the money for."), but, of course, the perpetual goofball couldn't keep a straight face for long. Ashton went on to express his gratitude through "the art of music," prompting an auditorium-strong sing-a-long to Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." A+ for audience participation, Mr. Kutcher.

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.

Choice Summer Movie nominees include "Captain America: The First Avenger," "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," "Horrible Bosses," "Monte Carlo" and "Transformers: Dark of the Moon."

If there's one thing we fashion fans love about the Teen Choice Awards, it's the spectrum of styles sauntering down the blue carpet. From dressed down to dressed to impress, nowhere were these extremes more evident than in the fashion choices of some of our favorite leading men. To wit, here's how two sets of costars ("Twilight" twosome Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner and "Glee" guys Cory Monteith and Mark Salling) typified the two styles.

Twilighters have gotten used to seeing Rob and Taylor looking smokin' in their super-hot suits for all those premieres, but both megastars opted for casual styles—wearing very similar outfits—for the evening's proceedings. Taylor looked yummy in his red plaid, long-sleeved button-down paired with jeans, but there was something almost too casual about Rob's short-sleeved blue plaid button-down, don't you think?

Looks like the Teen Choice Awards' strategy is paying off this year: nominate as many people as possible, that way you'll get more celebs to attend your show. (Seriously, you guys, have you SEEN the nominees list? It's like a novel.) Just confirmed to appear on the show (airing August 9), according to Gossip Cop: Robert Pattinson and Ashley Greene (Twi-hards unite!), Sandra Bullock (who doesn't love the lady?), and "Gossip Girl" Leighton Meester.

Not that these recent confirmations are surprising in any way (what would a teen-centric award show be without R-Pattz?), but we're wondering why the attendee list is so slow to trickle out! Already set to attend are Zac Efron (he's got "Charlie St. Cloud" to promote, after all), Victoria Justice, Miranda Cosgrove, David Archuleta, and the Kardashian sisters (Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney for sure, no word on the younger ladies).

For Disney's reigning princess of pop Miley Cryus, the last few years have been a blur of "Hannah Montana" tapings, tours and, of course, tabloid covers—lots of them. It's hard not to cause a media stir when you're a teen trying to find your way, especially when that includes racy photo shoots and pole dancing. Miley talked about her past controversies and what it was like spending a summer as a "normal" girl in the pages of February's Harper's Bazaaar, which hits newsstands January 12.

In mid-2008, Vanity Fair featured photos of the then-15-year-old Miley draped in a bed sheet, exposing her bare back. The pictorial caused quite a stir, but looking back, Miley doesn't understand the fuss.

"Here my parents are thinking they're seeing a beautiful picture by a major photographer, and the people of America want to see something dirty in that?" Miley said of the Annie Leibovitz shoot . "It doesn't make sense to us because [my family] doesn't look for negativity. But people don't want to say 'What a great performance' or 'What a great shot.' No one wants to look at something like that and see the positive because it doesn't sell a magazine."
