- Watch Mae Whitman Gush Over 'Friday Night Light' Hottie Tim Riggins
FROM MTV STYLE: The only real set-up you need for this clip is that, like most red-blooded women who've ever binge-watched the dearly departed drama "Friday Night Lights," actress Mae Whitman is Obsessed (capital "O") with Dillon Panther fullback Tim Riggins.
During an interview with "House of Style," the "Perks of Being a Wallflower" star declared her unrequited love for the character (and his alter ego Taylor Kitsch), revealing that she dressed up as 33 for Halloween.
"I love him in a way I haven't loved any other man," she gushed, before showing off her "Tim Riggins Day Dress" and issuing a heartfelt message to the Canadian actor.
Of course, Mae will have to compete against us in a Feats of Strength for the hand of Mr. Riggins, but we can't help but admire her gumption. May the clearest eyes and fullest hearts win!

Переслать - Kady Cross: My Favorite YA Novel Of 2012
As part of Hollywood Crush's Best YA Novel of 2012 poll, we've enlisted a handful of our favorite teen lit writers to weigh in on the tomes that touched them this year. Next up is Kady Cross, author of the "Steampunk Chronicles."
Technically this isn't "quite" a YA book. It's written for a slightly older audience, but one stand-out book for me of 2012 was "Easy" by Tammara Webber. Jacqueline (not Jackie) is in college, and has just been dumped by her long-time boyfriend. She is saved from a sexual assault by Lucas, a boy she's never really noticed before, but who is about to become a bigger part of her life than she ever expected.
I loved the passion and angst of this book. It brought back so many memories of my own "late" teen years. There's nothing quite like that overwhelming emotional rollercoaster of first real love. I love the relationship between Lucas and Jacqueline (the book even touches on one of my favorite plots, which I won't reveal because it's a spoiler), and how Jacqueline becomes a much stronger person during the course of the story. Some of that is because of Lucas, but the rest comes from her relationship with the other females in the book. There are very serious issues in the book (sexual assault, sexual politics and the shaming of women), and Webber handles them with a firm yet never over-wrought touch. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a story featuring characters a little older and more sexually experienced than in most YA. I can't wait to see how Webber follows up!

Переслать - Kristen Stewart Recalls Reading 'On The Road' Young
With Jack Kerouac's beatnik classic "On the Road" cruising into theaters December 21, MTV News has been making good time with the film's cast, including Garrett Hedlund, Kirsten Dunst and Kristen Stewart (who wore an, um, interesting sheer frock to the film's New York premiere last night). And, as it turns out, each star stumbled upon the seminal work during their teen years (or younger), with Kristen remembering "On the Road" as just one of a handful of mature films and books she experienced earlier than most.
"I had no rules," Kristen explained of her parents' lenient household. "I wasn't not allowed to watch R-rated movies. I don't even know why."
Among those R-rated movies? "I saw 'Taxi Driver when I was really, really young," she said. "'The Shining' was one of my favorite movies. When I was really young, 'Castle Freak' scared me—it's funny 'The Shining' didn't. I love that. It's one of my favorite movies."
Coincidentally—or perhaps not so coincidentally—"Taxi Driver" stars Kristen's "Panic Room" co-star Jodie Foster, who was also a very tender age while filming the gritty drama.

Переслать - Style Superstar: We Love Anne Hathaway's Silver Sequins
We might've been left scratching our heads over some of her "Les Miserables" premiere outfits—and we still can't decide whether those leg-brace bondage heels were an adventurous hit or a ghastly miss—but there was no such confusion over Anne Hathaway's look from the Museum of the Moving Image salute to Hugh Jackman this week. This ensemble? It's pure Style Superstar.
Anne showed off her long limbs and swan neck in this blush-colored Nina Ricci dress with silver sequins, making her a spangled standout in the crowd at the event honoring "Les Mis" co-star Hugh Jackman. And while her similarly fashion-forward ensembles haven't been a hit with critics this month, the actress was a statuesque beauty in this one; she's so effortlessly glamorous that it's easy to forget that the unusual gathered waist and drippy silver spangling would make this a hard look for most to pull off. With a gold box clutch and delicate jewelery—and, of course, her sleek short hair —this is a total knockout. Well-played, Anne.
Meanwhile, another stylish star was pushing the envelope in a somewhat different direction: Kristen Stewart, who's been big on transparent and lacy looks lately, took this Erdem dress for a spin at the "On the Road" premiere. But while we've loved her daring duds at previous events, this ensemble serves as an excellent reminder that just because you've got great legs and can wear your dresses cut up to there, that doesn't necessarily mean that you should. The runway original of this dress was knee-length, but KStew and her stylists drastically shortened it, making it look less like a daring sheath and more like a swimsuit cover-up—and with the neon heels, things take a definite turn for the tacky. Too bad; it would've looked great on her without the alterations.

Переслать - Ally Carter: My Favorite YA Novel Of 2012
As part of Hollywood Crush's Best YA Novel of 2012 poll, we've enlisted a handful of our favorite teen lit writers to weigh in on the tomes that touched them this year. Next up is Ally Carter, author of the "Heist Society" series.
In the spring of 2008 I had the opportunity to go on a retreat (in Ireland!) with 10 other writers, one of whom was Holly Black.
Holly.
Freaking.
Black.Well, it took all of about five seconds to realize that Holly is one of the nicest people on the planet. About five seconds after that we both realized that we love to cook. What followed was a week of us hanging out in the kitchen, chopping and baking and, of course, talking books.
The day before I'd left for Ireland I'd turned the final draft of "Heist Society," a book about a teenager named Kat who has been raised in an infamous family of criminals but cons her way into a boarding school to try to find another life. I'd thought it was so different and fresh and unlike anything else in YA fiction. And then I started talking to Holly...
Who had recently finished a book called "White Cat" about a teenager who has grown up in an infamous family of criminals who cons his way into a boarding school to try to find another life.
Part of me was panicked. And part was just happy that a tiny piece of my brain could operate like Holly's.
We spent the rest of that afternoon at the kitchen table, Holly telling me about "White Cat" and her "Curseworkers" series—about a boy who is the dark sheep of his family because he wasn't born with powerful (and illegal) magic; about the girl he loved—and killed.
The final book in that series, "Black Heart," debuted this year, and I read it with heart-pounding anticipation and a lingering hint of sadness, knowing that the story that Holly had started telling me in that Irish kitchen in 2008 was finally coming to an end.
But for anyone who hasn't yet picked up "White Cat" and the "Curseworkers" series, the journey can still begin for you. And I really hope you'll take it.

Переслать - 'Glee' Recap: 'Glee, Actually'
by Melissa Albert
What do head injuries, holidays and the Mayan apocalypse have in common? They all make you want to SING, of course, in this "Love, Actually"–inspired episode that's no more like "Love, Actually" than any episode of "Glee."
A bump on the head sends Artie into a black-and-white Alterverse, where his legs work fine and his choice of football over glee club means that glee doesn't exist. Led by Brittany's leprechaun friend Rory, his Christmas guardian angel, Artie witnesses an alternate timeline in which Becky's pregnant, Rachel's a librarian, Finn's a homophobic jock and Quinn is dead...of a broken heart? That's where you lost us, "Glee," though it is pretty delightful to see Will Schuester back with his lovely wife, the evil Terry. In a world without glee club, he's too drunk to notice that her (fake) first-season pregnancy has resulted in her giving birth to a doll.
To prove to everyone how cool a glee club would be, Artie performs a desperate "Feliz Navidad," complete with shawl and maracas. The unimpressed reaction makes him decide to accept his wheelchair as part of his destiny, as long as it means he can have a song in his heart.
Back in the usual timeline, Rachel heads off on a cruise with her dads, while Kurt's plans for a lonesome Christmas are derailed by the surprise arrival of Papa Hummel. After some Rockettes and hot cocoa, he drops the bomb: He has (early stage) prostate cancer, and wanted to tell Kurt in person. To soften the blow, Mr. Hummel drops a second, gentler bomb: He's flown Blaine out, too. The boys swoop around Rockefeller Center on skates, singing "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas," and at the stroke of midnight...they do not kiss. But Blaine does reveal his plans to apply to NYADA. We see glimmers of hope for a Klaine reunion somewhere in the near future...
The original Puckerman's still lurking around Lima, checking out chicks and working on his screenplay (probably about chicks). For a change of scene, he and his half-bro Jake ride all the way to Hollywood, where they dance through a city of film sets singing "Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah," right before getting matching Star of David tattoos. It turns out Puck's "perfect" Hollywood life is a lot more pool cleaning than it is sexy starlets. He decides to move home to Lima, where the Pucker-men force their moms to finally meet each other at Breadstix. After initial tension, the two bond over what a dirtbag the estranged Mr. Puckerman was. It's a Hanukkah miracle!
But brace yourself for bad news. Brittany and Sam have run the numbers, and it can no longer be denied: the Mayan apocalypse is totally happening, on December 21! In preparation, they make the most of their final days—forming a terrible club devoted to telling your friends what you really think of them (Brittany), performing "Jingle Bell Rock" with a bunch of disturbing reindeer/cheerleaders (Sam), and drinking tons of soda. Oh, and getting married! With world domination by sea monsters imminent, they ask Coach Beiste to preside at their wedding. "I can't tell you how excited I am to be your Mayan starwife," Brittany says, though we're a little disappointed Sam didn't speak his wedding vows in Klingon. When the newlyweds wake up four days later to find that the world isn't over, they're slightly worried about the hasty nuptials. Luckily, Beiste was smart enough to trick them into a fake wedding. And she gives them one more Christmas gift: belief in a new, randomly assigned apocalypse to prepare for. "Glee" is calling it: September 2014, it's over.
Other signs of the apocalypse: Sue Sylvester's heart growing three sizes this day! After pulling Marley's mom's name in the faculty/staff Secret Santa, she muses, "What do you get for a woman who has already eaten everything?" But after overhearing Marley cry-singing "The First Noel," and catching wind of their money troubles, Sue brings her signature blend of illegal activity and unexpected niceness to Christmas, breaking into their house to set up a tree, presents and a stocking full of cash. Instead of thanking her with something she might actually enjoy, like a tub of appletini-flavored protein powder, Marley and the club gift her a performance of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"—and it makes even Sue the Grinch smile.
No cliffhangers here, just glee-ful tidings to get us through the long winter hiatus. Happy holidays, gleeks, one and all!
Song of the episode: Who can resist ice-skates, Klaine and "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas"? Not even the Grinch, that's who.
What did you think of last night's "Glee"?
Переслать - 'Vampire Diaries' Recap: 'O Come, All Ye Faithful'
by Cassie Title
I can't believe this was the "Vampire Diaries" mid-season finale, because there were hardly any epic shocks or deaths involving characters fans are truly invested in. Seriously. That death of someone who's been around since season one? Carol Lockwood. Really sorry, but I don't care at all. The woman's only seen at town events anyway, so the only thing important about this is that Tyler's gonna freak out and become all dark and twisty and have some new revenge development I won't really care about. That's all.
Additionally, the episode summary on The CW's website included this bit: Professor Shane "reveals a piece of ancient history that leaves them all speechless." Um, really? Everyone was speechless? I'm pretty sure that anyone with half a brain could guess that Shane had been to where Silas was buried, and that Silas was connected to the cure. They went "Lost" on us and didn't fully explain what the cure was (Silas's blood? A potion buried with him? I don't know). But, not only was it the opposite of shocking, I'm almost positive that Shane had even said something like it before. And even if he didn't, IT IS NOT A BIG REVEAL. IN FACT, IT'S SO HEARTBREAKINGLY OBVIOUS THAT I'M EMBARRASSED FOR EVERYONE ELSE WHO'S PROGRAMMED TO BE LIKE OMG WHAT AN AWESOME EPISODE! So, yeah. Disappointment, especially when the mid-season finales are usually incredibly surprising.
Now that I've ranted, let's get down to work.
As always, Elena is kind of an idiot. She did deliver the best line one minute into the show: "I have to meet Bonnie. She's teaching Jeremy how not to kill me." But she also told Damon that she trusted Shane. Um, okay, Elena. I get Bonnie trusting a guy who gives her attention; I'm sorry, girl, but it happened with Ben McKittrick, it happened with Luka, it's just gonna keep happening and you're gonna keep falling for it. But Elena? For some reason, I was expecting more from her. (She was, after all, dealing with the whole sired-to-Damon-thing pretty well. If all goes according to logic, her feelings really shouldn't change, just her actions, so we'll see if that's the case.) But, yeah. It is 1,000 percent obvious that Shane—who's finagled his way into their circle through Bonnie, the witch that everybody needs—is up to no good. I mean, he's a professor. Devoting an inordinate amount of time to a chick who's too young to even be his student. Damon got it right: homeboy is Professor Shadypants. Sketch-y. Especially because you all should have put it together by now: When he said that Shane blew up 12 people, a light bulb went on in my head. I mean, I already knew it from last week, but he sacrificed 12 human souls before, and then this week he did it again, except they weren't human, which is a point they'll touch on later, I hope. GLARINGLY OBVIOUS that he's trying to invoke expression. DAMON WHY DIDN'T YOU IMMEDIATELY GET THAT AND SHARE IT WITH ELENA AND EVERYONE? Yeah, you'd have to admit about Charlotte and the 12 you killed, but whatever. I AM SO OVER EVERYONE'S SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS. You're all vampires, and death happens.
This thought brings me to the one line that made me pleased with Stefan. Totally skipping around, but Tyler and Hayley and the hybrids had a plan to take out Klaus, which was supposed to happen. Many things went wrong, the main one being the fact that they were trying to kill KLAUS. Um, hello Tyler? Doesn't the original creator thing make it so that you and Elena and Damon and Stefan and Caroline WOULD DIE IF KLAUS DIED? Were we conveniently forgetting about that? Would it change because you were putting his essence in someone else's body? I guess the latter's correct—the whole convenient body swapping logic—but I'm slightly confused, because I thought your plan was to really kill him, and then you were all like, "He'll stay in my body until the hybrids are safe." Um, yeah? Whatever. So, Tyler offered up his body as the swapping grounds, but then Caroline, who was pissed as all hell at Tyler for that, came up with a better idea: use Rebekah's daggered body. So they were going to. Until Klaus somehow found out (this part is incredibly murky; I don't doubt Klaus' intellectual faculties, but I don't think Adrian was sired to him, so how did he find out? Compelled him? What caused him alarm? I guess Hayley told him?) and massacred all the hybrids, save for Tyler, of course. As he was doing that, Hayley told Tyler how she didn't have a witch and sold them all out for her deal to find her birth parents. Pretty unclassy Hayley. Pretty unclassy. Oh, and farewell hybrids. There were 12 of you. We barely knew ye. Except for you, Kim. I'll miss calling you by your real name (Alyssa Diaz) in recaps.
Oh, but now for the part where I liked Stefan for a half a minute! He and Caroline were talking and thinking, and they didn't yet know that Klaus had killed everybody instead of getting killed. (Man, those hybrids suck if Klaus could kill all of them in like five minutes. What was their lame-o plan anyway?) Stefan said: We've all done horrible things. What makes us better than Klaus? And that's awesome because it was exactly what I've been thinking. And I think Caroline said: I think it's that we have family we trust. Or maybe Stefan said that. Whatever. It was said, and I was glad that it was acknowledged.
This scene led to a plot point that I found lame. Caroline couldn't bear the fact that Stefan still trusted Damon at the moment, so she used the trust theme to tell Stefan, without words (not telepathically, guys! Just pressed Stefan and gave him knowing looks) that not only were Damon and Elena together today, but they were kind of together together. Stefan was white with anger, he threw stuff, homeboy was crazy. I guess that's what happens when your emotionally abused girlfriend (yeah, I'm saying that! His manipulative ways in trying to change her disgusted me) prefers your brother to you.
Oh, and then Damon "broke" the sire bond. I'm saying "broke" because I'm calling shens. Yeah, that was internet speak for BS. (I used to hang out with guys who were really into online forums in high school.) If you paid close attention to Damon's words, he merely said to Elena that she should leave, it would make him happy, and that he was setting her free. She left, and she said that every fiber of her being was telling her to get into the car, but I don't think the bond's broken in the absolute way that would prevent her from feeling for him. For instance, he didn't tell her to forget about him (did he?) He's not really leaving her alone (he'll probably see her next episode.) "Setting you free" means setting you free, which could merely mean that she's free to love him without her body telling her to, in the sired fashion. It's a pretty convenient way of breaking the sire bond, if you ask me. But I think we're all gonna be happy with the results.
Bonnie and Jeremy are probably gonna get together again, because apparently he always likes the girls he dates after he chooses dead people over them, and conveniently forgets that he never really liked who he now chooses as much as he liked the dead people he emotionally or physically cheated on them with. Shane and Bonnie successfully reprogrammed Jeremy (we think) to not kill Elena by attaching his fuzzy feelings to Bonnie and thinking of her when he was near Elena? Unclear, again, but I can see it making sense. Damon's gonna stay at the Gilbert lake house with Jeremy, to help him kill vampires and grow his hunter's mark, and I guess attempt to not get killed. Maybe they can be like brothers, because Damon sure misses his (now that he lied to him about Elena, even though he set her free he waited a day so you know Stefan's gonna be like YOU'RE THE WORST PERSON EVER, which is SO SO lame) and Jeremy was wearing a wife beater and chopping down trees just like Stefan does when he's frustrated, so now they're basically the same person. Logic.
Hmm, what else happened? Hayley snapped Caroline's neck, which was scary and annoying, because I thought she was dead for a sec. So did April Young, who Caroline compelled without realizing she wears a vervain bracelet. So April went to the Lockwood cellar and found Rebekah, and was all emotional, and still wearing her stupid Miss Mystic Falls sash and crown. Because it was the Winter Wonderland festival. Didn't mention that, because it was so not important. Klaus painted a snowflake for the auction; it was post-post-modern or some snazz. Anyway, April Young may be more stupid than Elena, if that's possible. I'm sure she'll be fine because for some reason the producers want to keep her (we don't need contrast with Elena's old life! She is not like Elena! Stop giving excuses for her existence!), but girl ain't brave for going to the Lockwood cellar. Girl straight crazy.
Oh, and Tyler had his hybrids lock up his girlfriend and Stefan at one point. Man, werewolves are ALWAYS LOCKING CAROLINE UP. Am I right?! Oh, and Jeremy said what all of us were thinking when he was in his bizarro hunter's trance: She's the reason everyone I've ever loved died. WOW, SO SO HARSH. But so, so true. And so, so sad.
And that was the mid-season finale! But peer below, because I'm including things I would've included in the recap in the questions. Because they are so important and I want you to converse with me about them so we have things to do between now and January 17!
What does the future hold for Damon and Elena? Is the sire bond really broken? Will she be able to have a relationship with Damon, or will she go back to Stefan, or will she choose herself? When's Bonnie going to realize that Shane is evil and nuts? Why did Shane have to kill 12 people twice; what went wrong originally? What's Tyler gonna do now that his mom's dead? As always, where was Katherine? When are we going to meet Tatia? Rebekah's back next episode, and the previews say the Originals are back. Will Klaus finally give up his ridiculous motivation of creating hybrids? Also, doesn't he need therapy? Shouldn't that be the next great character? Oh, there's so much more. What is Shane's deal? Can Matt get a storyline already? Were you surprised that Stefan turning Jeremy into a vampire hunter was due to a deal with Klaus: Klaus gets the sword, Stefan delivers the hunter? (I must've missed that, 'cause I was.)
Tweet about it, comment about it, talk about it. I really want you to! Let's talk about it. I'm not sure why you've been hesitant, but I'm here to say that it's really fun and exciting and therapeutic and distracting. With all this chatter, the show will be back with new episodes in no time!

Переслать - Taylor Swift Turns 23: Best Birthday Ever?
We all know 13 is Taylor Swift's lucky number, but perhaps she should consider 23 her back-up. The country cutie turns the big 2-3 today, and we can't help but wonder if this is, in fact, her best birthday ever.
After all, in addition to releasing her new music video for the track "I Knew You Were Trouble" (watch it above!) the songstress got word today that her "The Hunger Games" song "Safe and Sound" was nominated for a Golden Globe. "Best birthday surprise EVER-just found out that Safe&Sound is nominated for a GOLDEN GLOBE!! Thank you @goldenglobes and HFPA! #hungergames," she tweeted.
Of course, there's also the little matter of her rumored romance with One Direction dude Harry Styles. There are few better ways to celebrate another year of life than on the arm of a hot boy-bander. Or at least we'd imagine—Justin Timberlake never returned our calls.
What should Harry buy Taylor for her birthday? Click to find out! Whatever the case may be, it looks like TayTay's 23rd is off to a safe, sound and sensational start! Happy Birthday, lady!
