First the Kardashians, then Adrian Grenier and now a JoBro—"90210" is not at a loss for guest stars this season (again—I will make a plea for the return of Tori Spelling!). Middle brother Joe Jonas will appear on the November 8 episode playing none other than … Joe Jonas! That’s right, JJ will be stirring up trouble for Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes) and Navid (Michael Steger) when Aid’s creepy, blackmailing manager forces her to attend a magazine premiere on the arm of a pop star in order to boost her image. (Step-and-repeats with your geeky-cute high school boyfriend do not make for Us Weekly covers.)

Based on the photo released from the episode, it looks like we can expect an awkward red carpet run-in where Adrianna trades-in Navid for Joe on the spot and with E! News on hand to catch all the action. Does Aid dis Navid as her real boyfriend? Can we expect any lip action from Joe?

This will be Joe's second cameo in a TV show this year. The JoBro guest starred on "Hot in Cleveland" over the summer. While "90210" seems like a better fit for both Joe and the audience, it will be interesting to see how his acting chops hold up playing himself!

Are you excited to see Joe on "90210"?

Hey, we had to ask. With Kristen Stewart shedding her wholesome Bella persona (and her clothes) in order to play a stripper in the soon-to-be-released "Welcome to the Rileys," MTV News sat down with the actress for a chat and voiced the question on everyone's mind: Does Kristen identify with the sexually manipulative tactics of her damaged, desperate character Mallory?

Kristen hemmed, hawed, and characteristically tugged on her hair before admitting that during filming, she actually did discover a few things about herself—and received a few unexpected offers of employment.

"Doing this movie, it was one shocking thing—to find how easy it is," she said. "I went to a strip club with the director and the costume designer. And, it being an odd grouping of people going into a strip club in the middle of the afternoon, I was, like, straight-up offered a job."

As promised, last night's "TVD" episode was full of "OMFGTVD" moments: one death, two near-deaths and plenty of tonsil hockey! The thing that excited me most, though, was that executive producers Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson wrote an episode that did not start with a flashback! Instead, we saw parallel scenes of Stefan/Elena and Mason/Katherine in bed, which really means lots of Nina Dobrev kissing two hot guys. So jealous!

Anywho, Katherine assures Mason that she loves him, so he promises to give her the moonstone. Stefan continues his daily dose of Elena's blood and propositions her with a shower quickie. Naughty vampire!

Jeremy tells Damon about the moonstone and offers to retrieve it for him. Jeremy + Damon = disaster, right? Apparently, moonstone trumps revenge for murder. Go figure! Alaric arrives with a box of Isobel’s research about Aztec legends, which reveals that moonstones can break the wolf curse. Interesting…

Since Mason helped the council take down the Salvatores, he's unpleasantly surprised to run into Stefan at the Lockwood's. Bonnie accidentally runs into Mason and sees a vision of him and Elena in bed together. Er, make that him and Katherine in bed together. Whew! Stefan tries to figure out what it means, then Damon fills him in on Jeremy’s moonstone intel.

Friends and family of Kim hopped on their pages, as well, to wish her a happy b-day, including mom Kris Jenner who posted, "Happy Birthday @KimKardashian I love you Kimmy!

Other reality television phenoms were having a big day of their own, as the cast of "Jersey Shore" got ready for tonight's season two finale.

After a week off, "The Vampire Diaries" is back tonight with a brand-new episoded titled "Plan B." If you follow executive producer Julie Plec on Twitter, you've probably already heard that tonight's episode is going to be pretty epic. (She guaranteed that there would be "at least one OMFGTVD moment"!) But if that wasn't endorsement enough, we chatted with stars Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev at last weekend's Spike Scream Awards, and they used plenty of intriguing adjectives to describe "Plan B."

"[The episode is] crazy in the sense that it is a really fast-paced episode," Nina said. "It just keeps going; you keep getting shocked."

As much fun as it is to watch the hi-jinks of the pretty young (and rich) things of the Upper East Side every week, it's sometimes hard to relate to the rarefied world of Serena van der Woodsen and co. I mean, who has that many syllables in their surname? If you've been pining for a teen series that's grittier and more grounded in reality, let me introduce you to MTV's new series "Skins."

Based on the popular British show of the same name, "Skins" follows a group of nine friends navigating the often-tumultuous world of high school; sex, drugs and angst included.

Check out the trailer for the new series (which premieres January 2011)!

Will you be tuning in to "Skins"?

Just add this new TV show to the long list of projects Josh Schwartz has up his sleeve. The prolific television maestro is teaming up with "Gossip Girl" troublemaker Michelle Trachtenberg for a new show that's headed to The CW. And, in even more exciting news, Michelle actually penned the script!

Though details are scant, The Hollywood Reporter's Live Feed blog reports that the series follows a young criminology student "with a gift for profiling and a dark past." On the surface, it might seem like an odd subject for Michelle to tackle, but a quick glance at her resume proves she's the perfect girl for the job.

And the plot thickens. A day after the Parents Television Council decried GQ's November cover featuring "Glee" stars Cory Monteith, Lea Michele and Dianna Agron in a saucy embrace, Dianna has offered up a sort-of apology. The 24-year-old took to her blog to discuss the controversy, writing:

In the land of Madonna, Britney, Miley, Gossip Girl, other public figures and shows that have pushed the envelope and challenged the levels of comfort in their viewers and fans…we are not the first. Now, in perpetuating the type of images that evoke these kind of emotions, I am sorry. If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention. And if your eight-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry. But I would have to ask, how on earth did it get there?

Dianna goes on to say that the actors were asked to portray "heightened versions" of their "Glee" characters (the "Hit Me Baby One More Time" iterations, as she put it), admitting that the shoot theme wasn't her favorite idea but that she agreed to it anyway.

If you read yesterday's opinion piece about the controversy, then you know where our allegiances lie on this issue, but we want to hear from you! Do you think Dianna (or any of the "Glee" cast members, for that matter) owe anyone an apology? Cast your vote after the jump!

It's not a big surprise that The CW has a soft spot for author L.J. Smith. After all, she gave the network one of their biggest hits, "The Vampire Diaries," based off of her series of the same name. (Not to mention the show also gave us the beautiful trio of Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley!) The CW is heading back to L.J.'s works, this time adapting her series "Secret Circle, Vulture reports.

Last October, we contemplated which of L.J.'s other novels would make the best small screen adaptation. L.J. herself said her vote was for "Night World," yet "Secret Circle" seems to have won out. Writing and producing duo Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain, who were behind both "The Vampire Diaries" and "Angel," are spearheading the effort with screenwriter Andrew Miller penning the pilot.

The "Secret Circle" series follows 16-year-old Cassie, who moves from California to live with her mom in New Salem and falls in love with a mysterious boy named Adam. But, when she enrolls in high school there, she realizes that he, she and all the other elite students at the school are witches! She befriends their leader, Diana, but soon discovers that Adam and Diana are dating, which leads to a whole bunch of complicated drama.

It's the beginning of the end for the "Twilight Saga." Okay, we may be getting a bit ahead of ourselves seeing as there's more than a year until "Breaking Dawn: Part 1" hits theaters, but with production set to begin in November, it's hard not to get a bit wistful. When we caught up with leading lady Kristen Stewart while promoting her upcoming movie "Welcome to the Rileys," she shared the sentiment.

"It's odd because [going back to set] feels the same, yet it's different because we all know that it is over," Kristen said. "It's so not over yet, either. We have the hugest job that we've had almost like all along."
