Mark-Paul Gosselaar appears to still be up to his old Saved By the Bell antics -- only this time he's in the best shape of his life.
The 41-year-old actor posted a pic of himself hanging upside down with his animator pal Ben Ceccarelli, and both buff men are wearing nothing but a censor strip. "Teaming up with @Piketoon for the @CACrossFit #pairpower competition. @CrossFit. Some would say we've already won," he tweeted.

Several reviews have referred to I Am Not A Serial Killer by Dan Wells as "Dexter with a supernatural twist" and the comparison is somewhat apt. Our protagonist here, John Wayne Cleaver, is a diagnosed sociopath along the same lines as the titular character of Jeff Lindsay's Dexter series, who inspired the long-running television show. However, the "supernatural twist" is a potent one, making enough of a difference to keep I Am Not A Serial Kille…...

Yesterday, David Levithan told us that he doesn’t think people finish reading The Hunger Games and immediately want to pick up another dystopian novel. Well, we agree that we like to space these dark books out a bit, but they are addictive. And once a month or so, we’ve been picking up a new one. If you’re just starting to be obsessed, begin with the books we talked about during this Dystopian Week, especially with NextMovie.com’s list of books with movies in the works, then scroll back through Hollywood Crush’s first Dystopian Week suggestions from back in April. Here are some that we haven’t read yet but are next on our own to-read list.
Birthmarked, by Caragh M. O’Brien: In this version of the future, the world is divided between people who live inside the Enclave, and the unfortunate who live outside its walls.

We’re on the home stretch of Dystopian Week here on TheFABlife, Hollywood Crush and NextMovie.com, but we couldn’t leave without hearing more from one of the hottest authors on the scene — if there is a dystopian “scene” — Veronica Roth. Her badass Divergent reads so cinematically, we can already imagine how awesome the upcoming Summit flick is going to be. While we eagerly await the trilogy’s book two, Insurgent, due in May, we asked Veronica to play a little imagination game with us: What if you wrote utopian fiction? Here’s her answer:
If utopian fiction became the new trend, I wouldn’t read it.
If you actually succeed in creating a utopia, you’ve created a world without conflict, in which everything is perfect. And if there’s no conflict, there are no stories worth telling — or reading! It would be all, “Jenny thought she might...

As Dystopian Week comes to a close today, we’re looking forward to a future not quite as bleak as the one presented in a lot of our favorite novels. That’s because we have plenty more dystopian fiction to look forward to! Partials, due out February 28, takes place after a war between humans and the genetically engineered beings that rebelled against their creators and released a virus that killed 99.9 percent of the population. But one girl among the immune humans is going to try to save the species. Here, author Dan Wells tells us why he thinks we’re drawn to this genre:
Why are we so excited by dystopian stories these days? Do we like to be scared? Do we like the danger? Is it just fun? The best answer I can come up with is: Look around. We read dystopia not because these societies are strange and unfamiliar,...

We’d like to think this is just in honor of Dystopian Week, but we’re not that full of ourselves. Still, we’re pretty excited that the folks at Scholastic gave us the chance to give you the first look at the cover of the movie tie-in edition of The Hunger Games, which hits shelves on February 7, just weeks before the premiere of the film. You can head over to Hollywood Crush for a glimpse at the covers of The Hunger Games: Official Illustrated Movie Companion and The Hunger Games Tribute Guide, which are also due out on February 7. This isn’t the first special edition of Suzanne Collins’ trilogy to be released — The Hunger Games Collector’s Edition, with a fancy cloth cover, came out last month. What we’re most pleased about is the fact that they resisted the temptation to put Jennifer Lawrence on the novel’s cover.

John Wayne Cleaver is not a serial killer; he wants you to know that up front. He’s also not, sadly, a typical American teenager, though he somewhat wishes that he could be. Thirdly, he’s not officially a sociopath — that diagnosis can only be given to an adult, and John is only fifteen. What he has is instead called Antisocial Personality Disorder — he has an almost complete lack of empathy, simply not understanding what other people’s emotions are or connecting with them directly.
So John has to work his way through life by intellectually building models of what he thinks people are feeling, and of how he should respond to those feelings, and continually adapting his models to get closer to reality. He’s not all that good at it at the beginning of I Am Not A Serial Killer, the first novel he narrates, but give him...

John Wayne Cleaver is back in this third (and final?) novel in the series by Dan Wells. Like I Am Not A Serial Killer and Mr. Monster, this serial-killer obsessed sixteen year-old, the sociopathic, emotionless, yet some how extremely lovable kid who works and lives in a mortuary, continues his battles with the supernatural elements that seem to be on par with the Hellmouth of Sunnydale.
It’s been a few months since the events of Mr. Monster, a time of quite reflection on the events of the previous six months where two killers, demons, have been haunting Clayton County. John’s ever increasing anxiety over who will come to his town in search of revenge for his acts of destroying the two previous monsters, feeds his increasing desire to kill, hurt and otherwise do harm. All he knows is the demon is called Nobody, and because these creatures can...

I Am Not A Serial Killer is a sort of hybrid of the Dexter series by Jeff Lindsay and the early works of Stephen King (in particular It). Author Dan Wells just adds some teen angst to the mix and what you get is clever, gruesome, yet an often boldly written story about 15 year-old John Wayne Cleaver.
John has standard issues most teens have, but unlike those kids on Skins, he knows he is turning into a sociopath – this is something him and his therapist can at least agree on. Anyways, he spends his days and nights (while not at school and crushing on the neighbor girl) helping out in his family’s mortuary and over the years, he’s become obsessed death, and in particular, serial killers. So he does research on them in secret, if only because this hobby disturbs his mother.
