Miss Miley Cyrus, who's never met a pound puppy she didn't want to hug, kiss and make her own, has added another four-legged friend to her brood. Meet Penny Lane—the cutest thing we've seen since IRL Mufasa and Simba—whom the songstress adopted from Saving SPOT! Rescue.
We're not sure what breed Penny Lane is, but if there's one called Labradorable Retriever, she's probably that.

Actor Rider Strong, who for seven seasons played Cory Matthews' bad-boy best friend Shawn Hunter, took to his website today to let fans know that he has no "official involvement" with the Disney Channel show, which will feature original stars Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel.
"I am extremely happy for Ben and Danielle to be able to continue the story. At this point, I have no official involvement in 'Girl Meets World,'" Rider wrote. "There might be a chance to see some of the 'BMW' cast in a guest spot, and I think it would be nice to find out where our characters have been all these years. But 'Girl Meets World' will be, and I think it should be, its own show. It will be about Cory and Topanga, their daughter, and a new set of characters. It’s the next generation."
Fair enough, but we can't help but wonder if there can be a Cory without a Shawn—and if it will be a Cory worth caring about. After all, Topanga may be his soul mate, but Shawn's rebellious yet laid-back attitude always seemed a better foil for Cory's high-strung neuroticism.
As you'll recall, at series end, Cory, Topanga and Shawn, along with Cory's brother Eric (Will Friedle), moved to New York together—just one of many milestones the best friends shared throughout their formative years. Yet, we're to believe that Shawn cut and ran when Cory faced his biggest challenge: fatherhood? Nope, I can't do it.
Also, can we talk about how the addition of daughter Riley Matthews opens a host of narrative possibilities for Shawn? He could be the cool "uncle" who lets her eat ice cream for dinner and stay up way past her bedtime to watch "Scream 10." Or maybe he has a son or daughter of his own who will be Riley's confidante. We're always a sucker for symmetry.
Ultimately, the interest in a "Boy Meets World" spin-off wouldn't be what it is without the reprisal of Ben and Danielle's roles, and the series' case would only be bolstered by including not only Rider, but Will and William Daniels (Mr. Feeny). As not just fans but kids who grew up with Cory, Shawn and Topanga, we want to believe that the role these characters played in each others' lives weren't temporal or situational, that they were impactful enough to stick through adulthood. Because goodness knows we haven't forgot about the boy who met the world, even though he became a man.

It's not much, but we've finally gotten a little tiny glimpse of the arena from the upcoming "Catching Fire"—and of Katniss and Peeta taking a dip in the dangerous waters of their island paradise. The follow-up film to "The Hunger Games" has been shooting in Hawaii, and a couple pics have finally leaked of Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson in the Quarter Quell arena—an island environment that includes a whole mess of aquatic hazards—getting ready to rumble in their Capitol-issue bathing suits.
Okay, so we're using the term "bathing suits" kind of loosely; these little numbers are definitely more function than fashion...although there is something a little bit sexy about them too, right? And while we can't see much more of the landscape than a pair of platforms surrounded by water, it's pretty exciting to get a sneak peek at the action in store with that shot of Jennifer in mid-dive. Girl's got GAME FACE.

"The X Factor" judge paid a visit over the weekend to tattoo artist Kat Von D, who added a flock of flying birds to Demi's pre-existing "Faith" tattoo, which was inspired by the songstress' time in treatment in 2010.
The new forearm ink is among the dozen or so tatts Demi's added over the years, many of which boast an avian theme.

Whether you swoon for a sparkly vampire romance or yearn to smite your enemies in a nationally-televised battle to the dystopian death, 2012 has been a very good year for fans of YA book-turned-major-movie franchises—and for the Hollywood pros who get to work on them! And by way of celebrating this year's Thanksgiving holiday, we've been checking in with some of our favorite celebs to see how they're getting their gratitude on during this magical week. Including the young Peeta Mellark himself, Josh Hutcherson!
In an interview with MTV News, Josh gave an enthusiastic thumbs up to not just "The Hunger Games" role that made him a household name, but to the year 2012 in general.
Said Josh, "I had a lot of work that came out this year and was pretty successful thus far, so it was exciting for me. It definitely exceeded my expectations." And if the dire predictions of a 2012 apocalypse pan out, well, that's okay with him: "It's a good way to end the world," he said of his year.
Among those expectation-exceeding experiences: the multi-country tour to promote "The Hunger Games," which brought Josh to a host of new cities for the very first time. And he also says he's glad to have shared so many "firsts" with a pair of great new friends, Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth. But it doesn't stop there! Because of all the things Josh found to be thankful for, he took particular care to talk about "Gigolos"...the reality show, of course, not the rare breed of male prostitute who frequents airports in Belgium.
"I am watching 'Gigolos,'" he replied, when asked if the show remained on his list of pop cultural things to give thanks for. "I haven't been caught up to date with the most recent episode, but when I was in Atlanta, I was getting my 'Gigolo' on."

Sometimes it's the little things that we forget to express our gratitude for, but not so for "Beautiful Creatures" starlet Emmy Rossum, who took to Twitter today to give thanks for a small gesture from friends and family.
This year I'm thankful no one punched me in the face for using the word "totes" #thanksgiving #givingthanks
— Emmy Rossum (@emmyrossum) November 21, 2012
We'll be sure to add something similar to our own thankful list (especially as it pertains to the use of "B-T-Dubs," which we may or may not say on the regular...)
And with that, Crushers, we will be leaving you now to prepare the fixings and celebrate a day of gratitude. We wish you the happiest of Thanksgivings!

Now that "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" has hit theaters, nearly blowing our heads clean off with that twist ending (see what we did there?), all that's really left to ponder about the franchise finale is what goodies fans will find on the DVD. While we're keeping our fingers crossed for that bloodsucker boogie sequence, director Bill Condon listed a couple of deleted moments we can expect to see on the release.
"There are a few scenes of the Volturi traveling around the world," he revealed. "There's one scene of Bella training that seemed to be redundant, so we took it out. Then there's a big speech out in the field that we'll see a rough version of one the DVD."
Bill explained that the speech in question is one delivered by scene-stealing Lee Pace in his role as outspoken Garrett. But we want to know more about that Bella scene!
"It's Bella trying to become a bad-ass fighter and failing at it, so it's kind of funny," Bill added. "The only reason I miss it is there's this last roundhouse kick that Rob taught her how to do in that training scene."
Click play on the video above to hear more from director Bill Condon, including details about the touching ending credit sequence.

OK, so the vampires of Mystic Falls don't really sleep in coffins (though they do often sleep with each other! Zing!), but we really wanted to make that sentence happen. Even as "The Twilight Saga" draws to a close in theaters, one vamp veteran is headed to the other supernatural romance based on a series of books, "The Vampire Diaries."
Charlie Bewley, known to Team Edward and Team Jacob members alike as the villainous Volturi Demetri, is headed to "The Vampire Diaries" in this season's 13th episode, E! News reports. The 31-year-old London-born actor will play Vaughn, whom casting folks described as "ruggedly handsome, charming, built and tough as hell." The E! News report also noted that an actor with an accent was preferred for the role. Perhaps he'll play one of The Five? Hmm.
Episode 413 will also feature another new face: Caitlin, who will be played by 34-year-old Camille Guaty. She was in nine episodes of Fox's "Prison Break," did an episode of "Everwood" and has done several voices on "Family Guy," among other roles. TV Guide reports that Caitlin is someone from Professor Shane's past who will provide some insights into his motivations.

Much to our delight, Jared Kusnitz spends his Tuesday nights here on MTV with us, trying to live out the dream (or, at least figure out what that is) on the network's latest scintillating scripted program, "Underemployed." But, as it turns out, getting to the top isn’t as easy as it seems. So, to make that journey a little smoother, we are naming Jared this week’s Hump Day Hottie.
Check out this dreamy photo of Jared and keep reading for more details about him!
Vital stats: The 26-year-old got his start in the world of theater. From there, he set his sights on Hollywood, taking over the small screen in a number of TV series, and hasn’t looked back since.
Where you might have already seen him: Jared has been in films and movies, racking up credits in "Prom," "Dance of the Dead," "Otis," "Doll Graveyard" and "Community." He’s also starred in hit shows like "Surviving Suburbia” and "The Secret Life of the American Teenager."
Why you should take notice of him now: Well, he’s currently one of the very pretty people on "Underemployed." On it, he plays Lou, a young dad who must take a job at his dad’s chemical company to pay the bills. This happens to rub his convictions the wrong way. Why? Well, he always wanted to be an environmentalist, natch.
"The reality of everything is that you can't get the job that you would've hoped for because the economy is struggling," he told MTV News about the role. "The friendships and relationships are sort of strained, and it's about the plight of the post-grad in today's society trying to make it by."
Until next week, when we choose another Hump Day Hottie, you can salute Jared by gawking the photo above!
The sun has nearly set on "The Twilight Saga" film franchise, but before MTV News bids one final farewell (so dramatic, right?!), we had to check off a few items on our to-do list. Or, more specifically, Josh Horowitz had to complete his "Twilight Bucket List," which, if you know anything about Josh Horowitz, is a litany of weird, awkward things involving the cast, like "prolonged physical contact" and "provoke startling revelations."
Yet, the stars assembled at the New York premiere of "Breaking Dawn - Part 2," including Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Reaser, Casey LaBow, Kellan Lutz, Maggie Grace and Dakota Fanning, were oddly willing to participate. We'll blame it on the a-a-a-a-a alcohol.
So pour your own celebratory shot (but only if you're legal, kids!), and drink in this final "Twilight"-themed After Hours.

For the first time in five years, fans of "The Twilight Saga" awoke this week to a world without anticipation. The battle is won! The Cullens are wed! The Renesmee is safe! And with "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" out in theaters as of three days ago, there will be no more sparkly vampires in Hollywood for the foreseeable future...and yes, let's all shed a few small, bitter tears for the end of an era, 'cause it's been quite a ride.
But with nothing to look forward to, this is the perfect time to look back—at five whole movies that tell the story of Bella Swan and her fateful journey to the un-sunny land Forks. From the opening credits of "Twilight" to romantic entanglements of "Eclipse" to the awesome end-game action of "Breaking Dawn - Part 2," this has been one of the best-loved and most successful franchises in the history of Hollywood. And now that all five films are nice and fresh in your mind (because we know you re-watched the first four before heading out to see the grande finale this weekend), curious bloggers want to know: which of the "Twilight" Saga's cinematic efforts was your absolute faaaavorite favorite?
No, really, which one?

The second trailer for the first film in the supernatural saga has finally hit the web, and if you like southern gothic, snazzy special effects, syrupy accents and passionate makeouts to a throbbing soundtrack of Florence and the Machine, then you're really gonna like it. (And if you don't like these things, then GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE WE TURN YOU INTO A NEWT.)
The trailer still has little Lena Duchannes front and center, watching as her magical wrist tattoo counts down the days until she finds out the answer to the all-important question: Are you a good witch, or a bad witch? (Sorry, right, caster... but c'mon, ladies, it just doesn't have the same ring to it.) But this time around, there's a whole lot more meat for drooling fans to sink their teeth into, including more of Emmy Rossum's deliciously devilish Ridley, more of Emma Thompson's unhinged (and extremely sweaty) Sarafine, more peeks at some of the amazing special effects in store—including the dark casters' glittering pyrite eyes and creeping spells that look like black magic spiderwebs—and, best of all, more face-on-face mashing between Lena and Ethan! Who, if the trailer is to be believed, spend at least 75 percent of their scenes together furiously chewing on each other's mouths, and we are not complaining.
Delicious! And with a release date in mid-February, this will be one dark, sexy Valentine we'll be thrilled to receive; "Beautiful Creatures" hits theaters February 13, 2013.
What do you think of the new "Beautiful Creatures" trailer?
"Glee Geeks Go Grease!" would be my headline, were I the sophomore theater critic of the McKinley Muckraker. But I’m not, so I’ll just break it to you now: the glee kids' production of "Grease" is a major hit! Now, let’s back it up:
The episode opens with Schue’s badly received announcement that Finn will be replacing him till after sectionals. "We’ll all be dead by sectionals!" Tina screams, rightfully assuming that Finn’s going to leave the glee club in a hot car while he goes to get a slushie. Even scarier, Sue uses Finn’s appointment to re-declare war on the arts at McKinley—she’s out for blood after he insensitively referred to her baby’s disability in last week’s episode.
Over at NYADA, Rachel’s bragging to Brody about both her official single-lady status and her upcoming off-Broadway audition. Stars in her eyes, she foolishly suggests that Cassie try out, too. After squinting her eyes into angry little raisins, Cassie suddenly asks Brody to be her new TA. Uh-oh, we smell an evil plot brewing.
Of course, that smell might be wafting from backstage at McKinley, where Kitty’s sabotaging Marley’s costumes to make them smaller, claiming that the "circus fat" gene she inherited from her mom is suddenly activating. (So many problems with both this scheme and the weirdly blunt way the show’s looking at body issues this week.) Kitty invites Marley to a slumber party, which WARNING! WARNING! IS OBVIOUSLY A TRAP. Once there, Kitty plies her with diet-busting snacks, recommends she become bulimic, then performs a candy-sweet "Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee," choreographed in near imitation of the movie original.
There’s more “method rehearsal” going on at the Hummel auto shop, where Finn makes Ryder stick his head inside the hood of a car till the fumes inspire him to sing "Greased Lightning." Comically PG rewrites of the lyrics aside, it’s pretty weak tea, just copping more movie choreography—though Sam’s a sweet Kenickie, and Mike Chang rocks a pompadour like he was born to do it.
While stretching it out in the NYADA rehearsal room, Rachel tries talking Kurt out of flying to Ohio to see "Grease." Cassie overhears and offers them her JetBlue miles, a plot even more transparently devious than Kitty’s slumber party snacks. Unfortunately, Rachel fails to see through it, and she and her roomie hop a flight to Lima.
An opportunistic Sue tells Wade’s parents he’s been cast as Rizzo, and while they’re accepting, they opt to protect him by pulling him from the show. We’re sad for Wade, but...Santana’s taking over as Rizzo! Let’s ignore the fact that she no longer goes to McKinley, and just reflect on the glory of Santana in a Pink Ladies jacket.
After approximately one week of rehearsal, it’s showtime! Blaine sings a smooth, adorable "Beauty School Dropout," but almost loses it when he sees Kurt in the audience. Ryder catches Marley trying to barf up her lunch per Kitty’s instructions, but flirts her out of her funk. And Santana uses her breakup with Britney as inspiration for a killer performance of “There Are Worse Things I Could Do.”
A heartbroken Unique imagines himself chiming in from the audience, and at the same time, in a sweaty practice room in New York, Cassie’s singing the song to Brody. “I could hurt someone like me, out of spite or jealousy,” Cassie croons, as she inappropriately creeps on Rachel’s wannabe man...and then kisses him. And Rachel can’t even be mad, cause she didn’t lock down that hunk of upperclassman when she had the chance!
Backstage, Mike Chang is so turned on by Tina’s performance of Jan that he wants to get back together. Hold on a minute here. JAN?!?!? She’s the blandest character in “Grease”! Saying you’ve fallen for someone because of the way they play Jan is like saying you’ve fallen for someone because of the way they ate that hotdog without getting very much mustard on their shirt: both take the barest level of competence. Anyway, Tina says she’ll think about it.
Right before Marley and Ryder go on for "The One That I Want," they share a kiss—which Jake catches sight of, before slinking sadly away. The boring blocking once again comes straight from the movie. Unlike the “Rocky Horror Glee Show,” which added some original interpretation to songs like “Toucha Toucha Touch Me,” this ep mainly pays homage without adding interest (with the major exception of “There Are Worse Things I Could Do”).
In the audience, Rachel’s feeling all kinds of weird Finn feelings and runs off to call Brody...but Cassie answers his phone from BED, and lays it out for her in no uncertain terms: Rachel blew it with Brody by leaving him unattended, and Cassie’s punishing her for punching above her weight, both with the off-Broadway audition and the upperclassman flirtation. Seconds after hanging up on Cassie’s vindictive screed, she runs into Finn, and they basically break up a second time. He tells her he doesn’t want to talk to her anymore: “No contact, not even in song.” Whaaat does “contact in song” mean? Does it hurt? Do you have to take your clothes off? Does it involve a Ouija board? I guess we’ll never find out, because Finn’s outlawed it.
Blaine and Kurt also reaffirm their breakup, after Blaine tries to talk it out and Kurt shuts him down hard. But at least “Grease” is a hit! Will says goodbye to his victorious students, then tries to give interim choir director Finn some last-minute advice. Finn shuts him down in a manly fashion. “Schue? I got this,” he says, then struts in slow motion toward glory. It’s on, Sectionals!
Song of the episode: “There Are Worse Things I Could Do” by a landslide. Through the magic of Santana and by NOT imitating the movie, there was finally Glease magic.

With actress Shailene Woodley aboard as tough-as-nails Tris in the big-screen adaptation of "Divergent," casting directors are now sounding the whistle for her hunky, dystopian love interest. And, according to Deadline, four(!) actors are vying for the role of Dauntless instructor Four.
The highest-profile name among them is Lucas Till, who played Havok in the superhero flick "X-Men: First Class." Lucas has had a number of brushes with hot YA film properties—he reportedly auditioned for the role of everyone's favorite baker boy Peeta Mellark in "The Hunger Games." This could be the part that finally secures leading-man status for Lucas.
But he has a trio of competitors to face: "Monte Carlo" actor Luke Bracey, "Blue Lagoon: The Awakening" star Brenton Thwaites (who will also play the Young Prince in the upcoming "Maleficent"), and Jack Reynor. (Does this mean "Hunger Games" star Alexander Ludwig is officially out of contention?)
Obviously it's hard to judge from simply looking at photos which of these actors will be the best fit for Four, but we're asking you to do it anyway! Take a gander at the competition and tell us: Who should hop the "Divergent" train alongside Shailene? Vote in our poll below!

The news that Channing Tatum has been named People's Sexiest Man Alive hit the web this morning, which was a big surprise to absolutely no one who has ever, y'know, seen Channing Tatum. Rarely has a Sexiest Man Alive win been so well deserved—or so well-earned, considering that this was not only a big, busy year for the actor, but also the year that brought us "Magic Mike," in which audiences were treated to a particularly awe-inspiring view of all the things about Channing that make him worthy of the title. But for that one guy out there who's all, "Channing Tatum? Sexy? Are you sure?" (seriously, One Guy, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM), we've put together a nice little gif-box for your viewing pleasure. What makes Channing Tatum the sexiest of the sexy men?
For starters, there's nothing sexier than a man who's not afraid to do what he loves...
...particularly when what he loves is this.
And this.
Oh, and this.
But Channing is more than just a pretty face and a butt you could bounce quarters off. He's a friend to the animals!
And he's smart, too.
Plus, he always takes our calls.
And best of all? He just wants us to be happy.
Also, this.
Do you think Channing deserves the Sexiest Man Alive title?
Lest you missed all the hubbub yesterday, Saoirse Ronan is giving the world a first, EXCLUSIVE look at the trailer for her soon-to-be-released sci-fi romance, "The Host," here on MTV.com.
Prepare to have your mind blown by the sheer spectacle of it all.
In the trailer, we see the world of the future: where disembodied aliens came to Earth, overwrote everyone's brains with their own parasitic consciousness and more or less turned the human race into a bunch of walking iPods made of meat. Only a few have been spared—including Melanie, who manages to meet and fall in love with one of the few remaining non-pod-person males left on earth. But life on the run is risky, and it's not long before Melanie finds herself captured by the alien Souls (led by an ice-cold Diane Kruger)... and at 1:37, things get real. Action! Desert caves! Battles for the future of humanity! Plus, cute boys! Looks exciting, doesn't it?

To wit, E L James' erotic novel, "Fifty Shades of Grey," and its sequels have already sold more than 60 million copies worldwide, with a film version in the works. And, just yesterday, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that another Twific "The Office" (retitled "Beautiful Bastard") will be making its way to bookstore shelves soon. Indeed, it's a good time to be a fan-fiction writer. All of which got us wondering which other "Twilight" takeoffs are worthy of prime placement at Barnes & Noble. We reached out to several in-the-know fanfic enthusiasts to get their opinions.
Check out their reading lists after the jump, and sound off with your own suggestions in the comments!
"The Blessing and the Curse"
"If the publishing world wants another 'Twilight' fan fiction series to snap up, key in a few name changes, and sell like hotcakes, they might want to give 'The Blessing and the Curse' by The Black Arrow a look-see. In this story, Bella was orphaned at a young age and raised by Esme, Edward's mother. Though she's engaged to another man, she pretends to be head over heels for Edward for oh-so-romantic-minded Esme's sake. Only, Edward the telepath knows better and makes it a mission to make her affections real. The life-long relationship between Bella and Edward is intense—at times almost too much so—which makes for an intoxicating, roller coaster-esque read. The plot and characters are just different enough to distinguish from the saga, and people love this fic a lot." —Amanda Bell, Twilight Examiner
"Wide Awake"
"I was introduced to the world of 'Twilight' fan fiction back in late 2008 through our message board over on the Twilight Facebook page. To this day, I am deeply invested and utterly in love with a story called ‘Wide Awake,' written by AngstGoddess003. When talking about that story I tell others that it was so good, that staying up until 4 a.m. just reading it almost kept me from passing my classes that semester. Along with 'The Office,' that story continues to be one that I would pay money to read in print." —Lauren Suero, Twilight Facebook page
"There Will Be Blood"
"There are a lot of 'Twilight' fans who are fan-fiction lovers. A lot of them are quiet about their fanfic love. Others are more open about it. Personally, I read my fanfic on my eReader so no one knows what I'm REALLY reading. But embarrassment aside, fan fiction has introduced me to some amazingly talented writers. One of my favorites is JohnnyBoy7. I first read his story, "There Will Be Blood," at the recommendation of a friend and was immediately engrossed in the story about a family involved in the mafia. I'm pretty excited about the number of fan-fic authors that are getting publishing deals. I can't wait to see who's next. —Elena Raines, Twilightish
Have you read any of these fanfics? Which ones do you want to see land a publishing deal? Tell us in the comments and on Twitter!
Dear Sandy,
You’re kind of fierce. You were totally raging last week, and I get it—you needed to let loose. But it's been almost two weeks, and I’m over it. You make me powerless. Literally. Because of you, I couldn't watch "The Vampire Diaries" last Thursday night. Which meant I had a one-week hiatus from recapping. Which meant that I was not pleased. So when your cousin Athena or whatever started storming the other day, I’d had enough. Yes, I had two days of electricity after a week without, but I’m back to being powerless today. So I watched "The Vampire Diaries" at a family friend’s house. You will not get the best of me. So there.
Sincerely,
Cathryn I. Title
P.S. I hate you.
(I figured my full name would sound more threatening.)
See what lack of "TVD" does to me? I start writing hate mail to hurricanes. You know who else started writing last night? Elena. And Stefan. (Is this real life?) It was the return of the "Dear Diary" crap, and although I know it’s the namesake of the show, all I want to say is: We’re over that. It’s so four seasons ago. It’s lame and useless and I hate it. Please stop.
Other highlights:
-I think I’m going to stop recapping. Seriously, you guys don’t need me. The whole 20-second recap before every show is just 20-second recap perfection.
-April is super awkward, but there’s got to be more up that chick's sleeve than she's letting on. She went to the Grill to ask Matt if he had seen Rebekah. Not only is Matt pretending he hates Original Barbie, but how are you supposed to tell someone that, yeah, no big deal, she got in a fight with her brother and he daggered her and left her in a coffin for how many hundreds of years.
-Connor held Jeremy, April, and Matt hostage at the Grill. It was great fun. He was hoping to lure the vampires to the Grill so he could kill ‘em. Which he did. At least, the first part. The second part, obviously, was not done. I don’t care if you’re one of the Brotherhood of the Five (even though you’re not; how does that get passed down?). You’re no Buffy, and you’re no match for more than one Mystic Falls vampire.
-There was a complicated plan of sorts to free the hostages. Stefan schemed with Klaus, who sent one of his sired nut jobs to get Connor out of the Grill with non-lethal force. So, basically, he was just sending one of his “family members” to die. Which happened. Nice.
-What is up with Bonnie’s professor friend? I need to know his story. First off, he’s a professor who went to a frat party, which means RED FLAGS straightaway. When we first met him last week, I thought for a second that he was the same actor playing Alexander, one of The Five that Rebekah fell in love with, but I was wrong. He’s just some professor of witchcraft (um, is that even real?) who has some sort of crazy plan that involves slightly manipulating Connor and Bonnie, separately, of course.
-When Hayley met Caroline. The moment we were all waiting for! Hayley quipped: I don’t do teen drama. Take it up with Ty. Which is hysterical, because girl IS TEEN DRAMA. ("Secret Circle," anyone?) But I get it. Tyler said that nothing happened with Hayley in Appalachia; he just wants Klaus to think that, because it’s safer than him knowing the truth—that Hayley and Tyler are working to help all hybrids who want to break their sire bond. How ironic, Klaus. The family you’re so desperate for doesn’t even want you. Shock-er. Do we believe Tyler? Yes. We do. But did something happen with Hayley, too? Yes. We think so. We think.
-After Stefan vervained Damon (oh, no he didn’t!), he copped his idea of going in the tunnels to rescue the hostages. He managed to get April and Matt to crawl to safety, but things got messy with Jeremy. After Connor’s booby trap killed the sired hybrid, he was shooting at Stefan and yelling at Stefan and then I started yelling at Elena, who came in to help, because she heard an explosion and needed Stefan to call her back to tell her what was happening. Um, hello? You want him to call you mid-battle? You’re an idiot. But she came in, pretending to still be human. And then, she vamp attacked that Connor, and Jeremy was safe. But Connor was not. Elena killed her first victim, and she was all kinds of emotional. But do you think she’d be more so if she knew that she may have killed her only chance at becoming human again?
-Stefan and Damon’s love wins out: Stefan told Damon about the cure. And Damon said, I’ll help you, but know this: I love her either way. Can you not love her as a vampire? And Stefan was all, I’ll always love her, but she’s not supposed to be like this. Is Damon’s love somehow truer? I mean, Stefan’s love was pretty manipulative, in, like, saying that if you love me, you’ll trust me and not come to the battle (which she did, eventually.) But it’s kind of abusive...
-Connor thought he needed to kill vampires because his tattoo would grow, and he would learn its meaning, and, hence, his life’s purpose. Too bad.
-This whole time, Klaus has been in Italy, digging up Alexander’s grave to find the sword that decodes the tattoo map.
-Will we ever find out the connection between Connor, April, and her dad? He said they had history, and she eventually said that there was something familiar about him.
-Jeremy developed an invisible tattoo of his own. Um, what? He didn’t kill any vampire. Right? Right? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?
-Elena was still in the dark about Connor being a key to a cure for vampirism. She was also really mad at Stefan and Damon. So she started taking a shower. And then, everything was blood. She was seeing it all over the place; she even saw KILLER spelled out in blood. What is going on?
-That would be the following: In next week’s previews, we learned that there’s a consequence for killing a hunter. So, tons of hallucinations. And then. And then! And then we saw Katherine. HOLY SMOKES I’M SO EXCITED IS SHE REAL IS SHE A HALLUCINATION DO I CARE I’M FREAKING OUT.
What did you think of this action-packed episode? How’s Elena going to be able to handle her guilt in killing Connor? Do you think Stefan and Damon were right to keep the secret of a cure from her? Is Klaus going to find out that Damon knows? When’s Rebekah going to get undaggered? What is April’s connection to Connor? Is creepy professor going to find a new hunter to do his bidding? WHAT IS HIS ANGLE? What is his plan?

You learn something new every day on Twitter. Like this revelation from "Cougar Town" star Busy Philipps: the hilarious blond has never seen 007 in action! Can you believe it? She's a Bond virgin (two words that definitely don't belong in a single sentence). The actress contemplated making this weekend's "Skyfall" her first. To which we say: Do it!
Neither my husband nor I have ever seen a James Bond movie. Not one. Thinking of making Skyfall the first...
— Busy Philipps (@Busyphilipps25) November 9, 2012
Indeed, we've already declared our undying love for the British secret agent, so there's really not much else to say beyond it's time to get shaken (and stirred!), Busy!
And with that, Crushers, we bid you a bodacious weekend!

Last time we saw the "Glee" kids, they were singing songs and breaking hearts. But after the hiatus, it seems like everyone but Blaine and his cheatin’ heart has recovered from last episode's breakup fever. In fact, Blaine’s so depressed over blowing it with Kurt that he doesn’t even want to perform in McKinley’s much-anticipated production of "Grease." He auditions anyway, with "Hopelessly Devoted to You," also known as "the Grease song we always fast-forward through." He totally rocks it...but turns down the role of Danny Zuko. He’s just not ready to act like a man in love.
Finn’s still back in Lima, working at Mr. Hummel’s auto shop and longing for a swift death, until Artie asks him to co-direct "Grease." They’re joined by Mercedes and Mike as dance and vocal coach!...because apparently you can take long breaks from a college or musical career without repercussions.
After Blaine turns down Zuko and Baby Puckerman refuses to audition, Finn decides to recruit the musical’s Danny from the football team, an inexhaustible source of raw vocal talent. You’d think it’d be hard to tell who among the mass of dudes in uniforms and full helmets might be a talented musical star, but luckily he immediately spies a broseph literally breakdancing in the end zone. It’s Ryder Lynn: Screw-up. Loner. Possessor of a ridiculous, Disneyfied name. (He’s also played by "Glee Project" winner Blake Jenner).
Finn creepily lures Ryder to the auditorium, where they duet on Foreigner’s "Juke Box Hero." One crowdsurfing fantasy later, and Ryder’s putty in Finn’s hands. "So should I audition?" he asks goofily. "Dude, you just did," Finn smirks, before donning a half-mask and disappearing to his lair below the stage (in our fantasy).
A transphobic Sue overhears Unique admitting to Marley that he wants to try out for the part of Rizzo, and she unleashes the vilest diatribe since the last time Britney messed up a basket toss. (Though Marley is so bland that even Sue can’t think of a mean nickname for her, settling for stealing her lip gloss instead.) Energized by Sue’s haterade, Unique and Marley audition with Pink’s "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)." After hearing that Marley might play his onstage lady love, Ryder chats her up—earning the jealousy of Mr. Hot-and-Cold, Jake Puckerman. Turns out that he dumped Kitty, who’s taking it out on poor, boring Marley. The cruelest cut: Kitty takes her pretty blonde Sandy hair and tries to steal Marley’s role! Jealous Jake duets with her on Neon Trees’ "Everybody Talks," figuring he can get into Marley’s poodle skirt if they’re cast as the leads.
Turns out Figgins has a bit of an inappropriate crush, and is dismayed to learn that underage Unique is not the sexy lady brickhouse he thought he was. Sue gets down on Mr. Schuester for fostering McKinley’s “bubble” of tolerance, arguing that her bigotry represents a cruel world that the kids should get used to. She also objects to the musical’s "illegal lubrication of lightning."
Marley, Kitty, Ryder and Jake are called back for a Sandy/Danny dance-off, where they re-create "Grease"'s competitive hand-jive scene—because there’s no better way to generate sexy chemistry than with the hand jive. Finally, the cast list is posted:
Ryder and Marley got Danny and Sandy!
Tina got the role of Jan (without auditioning)!
Jake got Putzie!
And Kitty got “the bad seed of Rydell High,” Patty Simcox!
Even when she’s come out on top, sweetie-pie Marley STILL lets Kitty bring her down. But you know who doesn’t let anyone walk all over her? Sue Sylvester. And when she sees that co-director Finn cast Unique as Rizzo against her wishes, she gives him her patented "I will wear your skin as a tracksuit" face. Gulp. We don’t think Finn can handle a face-off with Sue.
Mr. Schue and Emma are still arguing over whether she should go with him to Washington, and despite Coach Beiste’s many helpful sports metaphors, it takes Emma two whole scenes to realize that she can’t leave Lima just to make Will happy. They hug it out, and Shue finally breaks it to protégé and future Sue breakfast Finn that he’s leaving for a few months to "fight to keep the arts alive in our schools," which he says with the conviction of Rambo himself. And then he hands Finn the golden ticket: the role of temporary glee club director. This is Finn’s future! He’s going to be...the next Mr. Shue.
Sighing of the wind.
Crickets.
A baby cries in an empty room.
Better buy stock in Generic Hair Gel now, Finn. It’s gonna be a long road.

"Meridian Hill" will follow a young newlywed who joins her Midwest town's Junior League, allying with an eclectic group of women to secure equal rights for the fairer sex. (Something Jackie's gal pal Donna would have approved of, I'm sure!)
No word yet on when the series will hit the airwaves.
Mila will have to juggle producing responsibilities with an increasingly busy film career. The starlet has no fewer than five films premiering in 2013, including "Oz: The Great and Powerful."
For its part, "Meridian Hill" is just the latest time-warp entry for The CW. In January, the network will debut the '80s-set "Carrie Diaries," a prequel to HBO's hit series "Sex and the City."

The Final Four is officially underway, and it's all vamps, all the time. You may recall that Fork's finest (a.k.a. Charlie Swan) was the last human standing in our Elite Eight round, and well, he finally fell at the hands of newborn bloodsucker Bella. (And this, after she showed up mom Renee in the second round!)
Clearly, this is Edward and Bella's tournament to lose. Mrs. Cullen now faces brother-in-law Jasper, while Mr. Cullen hopes to best Denali coven dame Kate, who should definitely win some kind of honor for being the longest-lasting bottom seed. (We're still scratching our head over how she beat Emmett...)
Anyway! It's your time, Twilighters. Click on over to Twilight.MTV.com to cast your vote now for the No. 1 "Twilight" character. Final Four voting will close November 8, when the top two contenders will be announced. And it all ends November 12, when the most badass bloodsucker will be crowned!

"Twilight" stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart cut quite the freakish form on Halloween when they showed up to a fete at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery wearing bizarre transparent masks, which looked like props straight out of a slasher flick. Though Kristen later changed into a more conventional disguise—a pink bobbed wig and sunglasses—we couldn't help but ask the duo what was up with that when we had them in our studio last night for MTV First: "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2."
"Oh yeah, I look awesome," Kristen said when presented with the photo of her and Rob at the party. "That's not fair. That's actually a really weird [photo]."
Poor angles aside, Kristen spilled that her get-up was an homage to one of her favorite movies. "I love 'Closer,'" she said of the 2004 drama starring Julia Roberts, Jude Law and Natalie Portman. "If you've seen that, that's one aspect of [Natalie's] character. She changes a lot in that movie, but that's one part, yeah."
For his part, co-star Rob initially pretended it wasn't him at all behind the mask, before finally explaining how that thing came to hide his pretty, pretty face.
"I chose someone who is just genuinely terrifying. It was a $3 mask from a 7-Eleven," he said with a laugh.
And never has a bargain been so terribly bone-chilling...
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" hits theaters November 16.

A cure for vampirism? "The Vampire Diaries" never toyed with this premise...until now!
Plus, the show's new professor, Professor Shane, was supposedly a friend of Bonnie's grandmother. He seemed to offer a way for Bonnie to practice magic, even. But while he may be a "friend" to her, he's apparently a big new enemy for the vamps.
Last week, even Connor didn't know what this "The Five" business was Klaus was going on about. He's part of "The Five"? What's that? And why does that mean Klaus suddenly wanted to keep Connor (and Elena, for that matter) alive?
This week's episode promised revelations right in the title. "The Five" opened with a flashback to 1110 AD. A witch stood in the center of a circle of what looked like "Game of Thrones"-style warriors. At the conclusion of the spell, they each had those mysterious sort invisible tattoos Jeremy spotted on Connor. They also had swords with the same symbol as Connor's wooden bullets. In the present day, we saw the Salvatore brothers studying said bullets and other personal items from Connor's RV.
Damon suspected that Connor, who he presumed dead, was supernatural. Stefan's ears pricked up at the mention of "The Five." The brothers agreed that they are no longer in a "fight," though Stefan will always be mad about Damon letting Elena feed from him. Sheriff Forbes called Damon and broke the news that Connor is most likely, in fact, still alive out there.
After almost killing Matt the night before, Elena was more convinced than ever that she needed to learn Damon's ways of "snatch, feed, erase," despite Stefan's continued discomfort. Must be the doppelganger thing, but she just can't hang with Stefan's animal eating ways. He had no problem teaching her "hunter/defense" techniques with a crossbow, however. Elena told Stefan not to be jealous. "You're the one who's getting me through this, no matter who teaches me how to feed."
Matt rejected Rebekah's overture (a brand new truck) at the Mystic Grill, which made her vulnerable enough to entertain a conversation with Klaus, even though he had kicked her out of his family and skipped town last time they spoke. "What if I told you the brotherhood of The Five still existed?" he asked her. She was startled, but held her ground. Beat it, Klaus!
Damon, Elena and Bonnie road-tripped to a college and listened to a course about witches. During the lecture, the professor explained that witches are responsible for everything supernatural (ooh, deepening "TVD" mythology!) from vampires to ghosts to doppelgangers. Damon cracked a joke about the guy being "Witchipedia," but Bonnie was enthralled. Elena still had her own problems on her mind. "What if I'm a 'ripper'?" she asked Damon. Damon started to explain how to target victims. Don't go after a stoner. Don't go after someone who is suspicious in nature. Separate people from the pack.
Back at Casa de Klaus, Connor was chained up and Stefan was waiting for Mystic Falls' most evil Original Vampire. Despite using techniques from the Inquisition, Klaus hadn't gotten any information about the "greater evil" Connor has said was coming. Klaus figured Stefan may "actually be useful in getting my sister to cooperate," so he decided to explain The Brotherhood of the Five to him. They were high-skilled vampire hunters who the Originals encountered in 12th century Italy.
This gave us a nice flashback, complete with Elijah. "Stories about the Original Vampires are spreading," cautioned Elijah. "I welcome such infamy!" Klaus replied. Turned out Rebekah was in love with one of them. Klaus promised more information for Stefan if he would help him convince Rebekah to make peace, because Rebekah has information for both of them. "What's in it for me?" Stefan asked. "Just me when I say this," Klaus promised. "That hunter holds the answer to all your prayers."
Speaking of Rebekah, Matt was pretty disappointed to see April hanging out with her at the Mystic Grill, though he did decide to keep the truck. Stefan showed up and compelled April to forget the conversation he was about to have with his old flame from the '20s. He told her about Klaus' plan but revealed he'd rather help her. "Why? You hate me more than he does," she said. "Because I want to figure out what he's up to. Plus I can give you the one thing that he won't: a clean slate. I'm not saying I'm willing to forgive you for what you did to Elena, but I'm willing to set it aside and start over."
Damon University continued at the college, with Damon and Elena stalking a girl from the school. Elena's compassion got the best of her at the last second and she couldn't feed. "Everybody is somebody's uncle or father or camp counselor or Bible study teacher," Damon scoffed. Bonnie, meanwhile, had talked to Professor Shane about getting some of her Gram's old stuff. It also turned out there was going to be a big frat party on campus. Perfect place to eat, Damon figured.
Stefan, Klaus and Rebekah broke bread (and celebrated the Council burning up the town's vervain). As the brother and sister argued, Stefan dryly chimed in: "Let me just name the other million people I'd rather be having dinner with right now." Next, more flashbacks, where we saw more with Alexander, who unwittingly explained the origin of The Five to the Originals. The Five had some sort of ultimate weapon. The tattoos are a map to them. Cue Jeremy, the only person who can see them.
At the frat party, Elena noticed a guy slipping date-rape drugs into girls' drinks. Perfect target! Maybe too perfect. She took herself right to the edge while feeding, but managed to pull back just in time. In a great moment reminiscent of young Kirsten Dunst in "Interview with the Vampire," she lept into Damon's arms and whispered, "I want more."
Connor explained a bit more about the tattoo to Jeremy (drawing it for Klaus under duress), like how it spread with every vampire he killed. He's also convinced that Jeremy must be a hunter, since he can see it. In a sexy flashback, Rebekah learned that the sword carried by Alexander was the key to reading the tattoo map. And that he had a magic, Original paralyzing dagger. How'd she learn about that? When he stuck it in her (the dagger, we mean!). Alexander was able to put down more Originals after that. But Klaus' werewolf side prevented the dagger from affecting him. Later, Alexander!
What's that big weapon? A cure! That's what Alexander promised Rebekah. When the hunters died back in Italy, their tattoos disappeared from their bodies. With The Five extinct for 900 years, the Originals never searched for the cure. Curing Elena will allow Klaus to go back to mass producing hybrids (as Rebekah put it). "You can shove your cure," she scowled. The map was still useless without the sword, so Klaus enlisted Stefan to get its whereabouts from Rebekah to cure Elena.
Damon and Elena hit the dance floor and fed like crazy, compelling away memories, with the party's blood theme providing the perfect cover. Mouths awash in blood, Damon and Elena got really, really, really close dancing with each other. Bonnie returned from the professor's place and caught them in a moment of obvious pre-make out, which shocked Elena out of it. "I should be here with Stefan. I shouldn't be here with him," Elena said. Damon overheard it. Bonnie lectured Damon, but he was fighting back. "She was having fun," he said. He said making it fun was how he avoided losing control like Stefan.
Connor bit an earring off one of Klaus' hybrid henchman, allowing him to pick the locks on his medieval bonds. Rebekah spilled her feelings to Stefan at the Salvatore house. They talked about the cure, whether they'd want it for themselves. "I'd do anything to save [Elena]," he said. Rebekah admitted she envied the love Stefan and Elena shared. "I know you want my help Stefan, but I just can't do anything that lets my brother get what he wants." Stefan admitted he wanted the cure for himself, too. He wants to get married, have children, grow old and die together with Elena. That's why he'd take the cure.
She kept talking long enough to reveal that she buried Alexander with his sword and even the place where he did it. Klaus emerged from the shadows and (a tear streaming down his cheek) daggered Rebekah, with Stefan's reluctant blessing. First, Rebekah made it clear she'd rather be someone who loved too easily than someone like her brother, who can't love at all. Klaus and Stefan agreed to keep the news of "the cure" secret, even from Damon and from Elena.
Speaking of those two, they shared a tender moment on the porch of the Gilbert house, where she admitted that Damon is probably right about what a vampire should be. Stefan was there compelling memories away from Jeremy. Stefan didn't tell them about Connor, Klaus or the cure. "She's all yours," Damon said to Stefan as he left. Elena told Stefan, "I can't live like this. I'm becoming someone that I don't want to be. I don't think I'm going to survive this."
Stefan promised her that she will and told her, "You just have to hold on."
Meanwhile, Connor ripped the head off a hybrid, giving him more tattoos. The latest tattoo's image was on the wall of Professor Shane's house, where Connor next arrived. "Shouldn't you be in Mystic Falls, killing vampires?" the professor asked.
"Why the hell did you send me there?" Connor answered.

Of all the "Twilight Saga" quotes that will live in infamy, I have a feeling "Take a whiff!" will soon be at the top of the list. No idea what I'm talking about? Then you need to watch this EXCLUSIVE clip stars Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson debuted tonight during MTV First: "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2."
The bite picks up as Bella and Edward arrive back at the Cullen compound—a moment that should be familiar to Twilighters as it's been heavily featured in the trailers. But what you haven't experience yet is the smell. Yes, the smell. See, Jacob is concerned about how Bella will react to daughter Renesmee. Like, will she want to eat her? So he offers himself up as a sort of experiment, saying, "Take a whiff!" Which she does! And you know what? All the rumors are true; he does stink! You dirty wolf, you!
Click play on the clip above to see the entire (humorous) exchange. And while we're sending you on all sorts of Twerrands (like that?), be sure to head on over to Twilight.MTV.com to cast your vote for the No. 1 "Twilight" character. Only eight of Stephenie Meyer's creations remain!

We already gave props to Lucy Hale during our rundown of the best out-and-out costumes worn by celebs during this Halloween Hallo-week, but clearly, the actress is on a roll: Not only did she win all of the awards as a frilly, furry, pink-tutu-wearing unicorn for trick-or-treating purposes, but she dazzled at last night's Country Music Awards with a look that would've spooked a less adventurous star.
Lucy's Moschino gown is a beautiful conflict of interests: drapey, cowl-necked white lace overlaid with a bold, dramatic splash of black sequins. It's a design that catches the eye, and the imagination (doesn't it look like the dress is transforming from the bodice out into a darker, shinier, sexier version of itself?)—and it offered a pitch-perfect wink to all things creepy-crawly on the day following Halloween. And with onyx drop earrings, lush curls and a luscious red pout, Lucy was Exhibit A for the sort of bold fashion statement that makes a true Style Superstar.
Meanwhile, in West Hollywood, Rihanna was having a rare miss in the style department—when she arrived for her duties as queen of the Halloween Carnaval wearing this black sleeveless number with mesh-paneled ankle boots. It's not that there's anything wrong with the dress, and Ri-Ri looks sizzling as always, but...but...she's the queen. The Halloween Queen! If ever there were a time to do some daring dress-up, this was it! And since the singer isn't exactly known for her risk-averse fashion sense, donning this staid black look on an evening when she could've pushed the envelope is just not okay. Or, as a style critic ghost would say, BOO.

My No. 1 question for tonight's MTV First: Breaking Dawn - Part 2? What exactly were Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart supposed to be for Halloween? Like, for serious.
The "Twilight" twosome were spotted at last night's fete inside the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where they sported a pair of creepy clear masks accented by full, bushy brows. Whatever monstrosities they were dressing as top sparkling vampires on the scary scale by, like, 500 percent.
The Hollywood Forever Cemetery has been a popular stomping ground (metaphorically of course; don't want to be stirrin' up any ghouls!) for La La Land's VIPs leading up to All Hallows' Eve. The site played host to the "Pretty Little Liars" Halloween special premiere a couple of weeks ago.
