Here at Crushable, we love a tasteful plunging V — so much so that created an entire gallery devoted to Blake Lively’s sophisticated take on the sexy neckline.
So it warms our hearts to learn from StyleWatch that Meryl Streep had specially requested a V for her Oscar dress (designed by Project Runway’s Chris March).
Take that, Blake! Now we’re seriously torn: Has Meryl dethroned the Queen of V?
This custom-designed V poll will help us decide.

Though Michael Steger’s high school years are more than a decade behind him, the 90210 star said he has no problem playing a teenager every Tuesday on The CW. “High school was so traumatic for me, so I remember everything very vividly,” he told Crushable yesterday. “It was a period in my life I both loved and hated.”
High school was traumatic, Michael said, because he was bullied so much that he had to switch schools. “It was a wealthier school, very hard to get into. didn’t know anyone. It took a lot of starting over — very similar to Dixon’s experience [on 90210].”
Michael’s wife, actress Brandee Tucker, probably helped him through those traumatic times, since the two went to junior high, high school, and college together — though they didn’t start dating until after college. Michael’s secret to a long-lasting relationship? “Patience.”
In 90210’s first season, Michael’s character, Navid, started out as more of a second-string player. But this season, his storylines — in particular, dealing with girlfriend Adrianna’s drug issues and pregnancy — have slowly brought him to the center of the action. “I think last year there was a focus more on original characters who came back,” Michael said. “We were sharing the screen with a lot of different people. Now there’s a focus on the new generation in Beverly Hills, and they can give attention to all the characters.”
In tonight’s episode, Michael said the usually calm Navid goes off the rails a little bit. “He’s trying to recruit Dixon and Liam to plant cocaine in Jasper’s locker. He’s in a little over his head — he’s frustrated that no one believes him about Jasper pushing him down the stairs so takes things into his own hands.”
In coming episodes, Navid will get a new lady love interest — and so will his ex, Adrianna. Michael said it will be a little difficult for Navid to deal with Adrianna’s new girlfriend. “Navid’s thinking, ‘Why is Adrianna with another girl? Does she not like men anymore? Did I do something wrong?’” he said. “He is kind of blaming himself for turning her gay.”
Michael’s Favorites:
TV: Right now my favorite show is Rome. I just finished watching it on DVD. I love Friends, love the whole cast of Friends. I’m always in and out of Lost. I’m going to wait until it’s finished to buy the DVDs.
Movies: 12 Monkeys, The Last of the Mohicans
Music: I love Spanish rock, Gypsy Kings, Coldplay, Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette. I have very eclectic taste. My iPod is just full of a ton of music, from classical to rock to rap.
Clothing: My favorite line is probably my brother’s line. He’s the lead designer for J. Steger. He’s always giving me some of his clothes to wear. I just go to his warehouse and he hooks me up. He’s been up and running for about a year and a half, all over the country. He’s been doing really well.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences is refusing to apologize for not including Farrah Fawcett in its In Memoriam montage on Sunday. It’s the same story every year — there are always simply too many people who have passed away to include in the short montage. As an Academy rep said: “No matter how carefully and how conscientiously people address who is included, there are people who just simply can’t be.” [E! Online]

I love Rupert Grint. Unabashedly. Undoubtingly. And yes, a teense obsessively. Date of birth? August 18, 1988. Starring role in relatively obscure British film Thunderpants? Seen it. Oddest possession? A used ice-cream van. Why, for the love of Gryffindor, do I know these things?
Back in 2004, I sat in a darkened theater as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban flit across the screen. In a minor scene barely a quarter of the way through, Ron Weasley plunks into his mouth a magical candy that bestows him with the ability to roar like a lion. And roar he does, his face mockingly twisted in a sexy snarl. The actor, Rupert Grint, is 16, I am 18, and for the first time I realize that the boy wizard is a stud muffin. I’ve been ashamed ever since.
Why the guilt? To ladies of my generation, Rupert Grint falls into that awkward, embarrassing category of attractiveness. Old enough to be hot, but not exactly old enough that it would be completely socially acceptable for me to verbalize it. Now I know how Demi Moore must feel.
It’s a pretty uncomfortable situation to be in. In the years that followed, Grint got some good-looking company in the lookie-but-no-touchy department. Zac Efron, Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner – all fine male specimens who are, ahem, a teensy bit younger than myself and therefore off-limits crushwise.
In my defense, I only thought 17-year-old Taylor Lautner was cute until he opened his mouth and I realized that, holy hell, he’s 17 years old. Crush extinguished. Unfortunately for my ever-shrinking self-respect, that never happened with Grint. Cute turned into handsome turned into OMG SO FREAKING HOT. Le sigh.
How did this happen? Grint is the oldest of the three Harry Potter stars, and is the only one who seems to have filled out. Emma Watson still looks like a baby (plus I don’t swing that way), I’ve always thought Daniel Radcliffe is a dead ringer for my brother (…ew) and that leaves Grint the only one remotely crushworthy.
Throw into the mix an adorable moptop of carrot-colored hair (I’ve always had a thing for redheads), a sexy British accent (seriously, I’m powerless against them) and an endearing performance as the courageous but often dopey Ron Weasley. I was a goner from the get-go.
Thankfully, as time passed, so did the creepiness of my infatuation. Fast forward to 2010: while I am and will always be 2 years older than him, the age difference is mercifully a heck of a lot less glaring these days. Oh, and I can legally buy him a drink. Hey, it could happen.
Grint continues to be known primarily for his work in the Harry Potter films, but he has starred in a handful of other projects to critical acclaim. Several of which include sex scenes (ooh la la).
In 2006’s Driving Lessons, Grint’s character loses his virginity to an older woman (no comment) and in the upcoming Cherrybomb, he stars as a good-teen-gone-bad who apparently spends a good portion of the film in a state of undress. Yowsas.
It’s looking like people are beginning to take notice of what I saw in that roar way back when. Suddenly, this embarrassing crush isn’t so embarrassing anymore.

Text messaging might be the easiest and most convenient way to send a note to your friends, but when it comes to communicating with a guy, it can be anything but simple. Whether his messages are short and sweet or lengthy and in-depth, you’re usually left wondering: what is he really trying to say? And even worse, how do I respond? Here at Crushable we want to help you sift through all the subtext and emerge, textually healed.
Truthfully, I use text messaging for most of my communications. With everyone. I make plans with friends, flirt with guys and catch up with everyone via text. It’s just the way my social interactions have evolved over time. Everyone seems okay with this arrangement, so I don’t know why I was so surprised when I got asked out over text a few weeks ago.
“What are you up to on Thursday night?” the text read, setting plans in motion. I turned to my roommate, wondering why I felt funny about it. Should I accept, or require him to call me instead? My roommate wisely pointed out that if I never accepted date invitations sent via text, I’d probably never go on any dates at all. Truthfully, I haven’t been going on many dates recently — and not because I am being picky about how I’m being asked — so I decided to just take what I could get.
However, I have found that once you’re conversing with a guy via text — or any other electronic method for that matter — it’s hard to break out of that mode. (And, not surprisingly, guys told us they are reluctant to call girls on the phone.) But there’s nothing more awkward than accepting a date invite via text and then having to talk to him on the phone anyway to make plans. So, here are some tips for handling being asked out by text message:
Respond quickly, but not too quickly
Yes, you’re excited about seeing him, but that doesn’t mean you can’t let him sweat for a few minutes — or hours if you’re busy. But, if you really want to go out with him, don’t keep him waiting days for a response. That’s just mean.
Make him make the plans
If he’s initiating the date, it’s only fair that he makes the plans and tells you when and where to meet him. Plus, debating activities and locations over text message is too tedious. Take it to email, IM or the phone if he insists on doing that.
Keep it short and sweet
After you make plans, try to avoid texting with the guy until then. It will instill a sense of mystery and give you something to talk about on your date.
Follow-up in a different way
He may have initiated the date with a text message, but you can call him the next day to say thank you, or send him an email. When the ball’s in your court, change the method of communication to one you feel more comfortable with.
Save the sweet ones
If you’re going on dates with this guy, it might turn into something more serious. In that case, you’ll want to remember how it all came about and what went down. I recommend holding on to his first few text messages. You might be happy you did.

If you’re too wimpy to cut your boyfriend loose, this guy Bradley Laborman from IDUMP4U.com will make it quick and painless for such low, low prices.
According to the site:
$10 Basic Breakup- We will call your other and make them your ex using the information you have given us.
$25 Engagement Breakoff - Yeah it’s heartless, but remember the Runaway Bride and all the trouble she caused in Atlanta or wherever? This is a lot easier way to do it. When you are ready to talk to your fiance/fiancee, we recommend you do however.
$50 Divorce Call- Sometimes it is just easier to get a divorce in motion by having someone else do it for you, some people might choose their mistress, etc .. but we can do it for you as well.
There is a veritable cottage industry building around break-up services! And The Frisky has identified an entire gallery of other high-tech services you can use to drop that boy like the cold, heartless, modern person that you have become. What has technology done to us?!?!
Still, hilarious. Like this audio clip from Laborman.

Another day, another crazy Lindsay Lohan story. Today, there’s news that Lindz is suing E-Trade for using the common name “Lindsay” in their recent commercial. The suit seemed suspect to us, so we called Lindsay’s publicist, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik at BWR Public Relations for comment, and learned that the actress is currently “on hiatus” with the power publicist. Well, that explains a lot.
Leslie is one of the most feared publicists in the biz — some might call her the Miranda Priestly of PR — but she gets the job done. Under her watch, her clients seem so much less crazy than they do when left to their own devices. Take Lindsay for example. In the past week alone she’s been booted from her artistic adviser job at Ungaro and been photographed all over Paris Fashion Week, where she was denied entrance at the Dior show. She also tried DJing in London with rumored bf DJ Gareth Geno and she revealed she’s writing a memoir. And now, this crazy lawsuit comes to light. Lindsay needs someone to take control of her image, stat.
So the question is, how long before Linday hits rock bottom and will Leslie be there to pick up the pieces? Leslie’s client roster has included some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Britney Spears, although the two haven’t worked together for years. Leslie might be able to help get Lindsay back in shape, if the girl wants to be helped, and if she doesn’t make too much of a mess of her life before then.
