Spoiler Alert – If you’ve been frantically avoiding the news so that tonight’s airing of the Teen Choice Awards will be a surprise, look away now.

So what are the youngsters obsessed with this year? Well, it comes as no surprise that a floppy-haired vampire, a sulking girl and a six-pack-sporting werewolf have held onto their reign of Teendom. “The Twilight Saga” took home 11 awards last night at the Teen Choice Awards, including the trophies for choice movie fantasy and villain. Vampires continued to reign supreme with the CW’s “Vampire Diaries” nabbing seven awards. Other winners include America’s sweetheart and Academy-Award winner Sandra Bullock, “Gossip Girl”, “Glee”, the Beibs and Gaga.

Catch the full show hosted by Katy Perry and the “Glee” boys tonight at 8pm on Fox. (Source: The Hollywood Reporter)

MTV are staying ahead on the trends as always, and have just picked their first official TJ (twitter jockey). Gabi Gregg (@gabifresh) nabbed the coveted $100,000 job in New York out of 19 other applicants, and will be officially tweeting about all MTV events and news. But while Gabi’s tweets will certainly be informative, does a tweeter really deserve a $100,000 salary?! I’m following her with hawk eyes on @MTVTJ to see if it’s a bet that pays off for MTV.

Jennifer Aniston has certainly been creating a buzz with her new editorial fashion spread in this month’s Harper's Bazaar. Channeling Barbra Streisand, our favorite Friend showcases some of fall’s hottest trends by recreating iconic Streisand images. The spread coincides with the release of Jen’s new movie, "The Switch", starring alongside funnyman Jason Bateman, where she plays a woman who resorts to a sperm bank in order to have a child, only to find out later that her friend (Bateman) switched the contents of the tub with his own specimen.

Talking of Bateman and his eagerness to get “Arrested Development” onto the big screen, Jen told MTV news that she’d be interested in appearing in the film version of one of TV’s sharpest and wittiest comedies. “I love it. I actually think I might have asked [Bateman] ... if that was possible. Anything to work with Jason," the “Friends” star stated. Bateman sent out a tweet earlier today clarifying the comment – “I was merely thinking out loud during an interview about Aniston being in the AD movie.” Jen will be reunited with Bateman in “Horrible Bosses”, alongside Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx and Julie Bowen.

Apparently people are still surprised when Marshall Mathers returns with a controversial storm. Eminem and Rihanna’s video for “Love The Way You Lie” is still being talked about incessantly since its premiere on Thursday. The video, if you haven’t already seen it, features Megan Fox and "Lost" actor Dominic Monaghan playing out a passionate yet violent relationship, and is attracting a host of complaints about ‘glorifying violence’. Check out the video for yourself and see if you agree or disagree.

Justin Timberlake and "Inception" star Cillian Murphy may be joining Amanda Seyfried in sci-fi drama “I.m.Mortal”, by Andrew Niccol. The film tackles the interesting concept where the aging gene is turned off at 25 thus making time a currency, and the wealthy can pay to live forever whilst the poor have to fight for their survival. This will be Trouser Snake’s first foray into a big budget sci-fi, but teamed with Seyfried and the incredibly talented Murphy, it’s definitely one to watch. (Source: TheWrap.com)

With those blue eyes and that body, can it be possible for Zac Efron to be jealous of anything? Well, according to his latest interview with Details Magazine, it appears that Zac is jealous of another one of Hollywood’s young hotshots – Shia LaBeouf. Zac says he admires LaBeouf’s ability to not care about what people think of him, stating, “Yeah, that's awesome to not give a s--t. And Shia still pulls it off. That's so cool. It's just awesome. It just comes easy to some people." Could our favorite High School heartthrob be showing us a more rebellious side? (Source: E! Online)

Gisele who? Fashion’s new darling is none other than Sarah Marshall herself, Kristen Bell. WWD features an indepth interview with the actress, highlighting her growing confidence on the red carpets and her more sophisticated label choices. The actress admits “I didn't grow up with a lot of art or fashion around me. I don't think fashion's easy—it takes a lot of work,” but that doesn’t mean that she can’t look high-fashion. Decked out in a couture selection including Dolce & Gabbana and Balmain and with her blonde hair styled in regal curls, Bell shows that she can put the comedy aside for the seriousness of high-fashion. She will next appear alongside female Hollywood icons Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver and Betty White in the comedy “You Again” and will also be exploring a darker, brunette side in “Burlesque”, alongside Cher and Christina Aguilera. But that twinkle in her eye is never far away, as she states, “It even sounds too cocky to say, because I'm nervous it will be taken away if I say it out loud—but to be considered a female comedian is my dream come true.” (Source: WWD.com)
