On "Hellcats," Marti Perkins (Aly Michalka) is a straight-A earning, guitar playing, cheerleading, law student machine. Her tough exterior and no-nonsense attitude don't lend much to a soft romantic side. Sure, she had a brief relationship with her cheermate Lewis before ruining it with a drunk semi-nude make-out with her BFF Dan, but if you watched Tuesday's juicy episode, "Before I Was Caught" (or at least read our recap), you know Marti and her law professor, Julian Parrish (Gale Harold) finally stopped denying their attraction for each other and had a hot hook-up!
It's been a long time coming, but is this romance going to be as fleeting as Marti's flings with Lewis and Dan? Well, when we sat down with Aly just hours before the episode aired, we asked that very question and she told us why this fictional relationship has the potential to last.
"What I love about the relationship is that Marti and Julian have been denying this [attraction] the whole time," she said. "You see them kind of flirt with each other in and out of class and she always tries to maintain responsibility with being the student. She finally just gives into her feelings. It was funny, I was talking about this with Kevin Murphy, our creator, and he was just like, 'We need to do it! It's ridiculous. The fans want to see it. Marti wants it. Julian wants it.' so we ended up just going there and going for it full on."

Out with the old, in with the new seemed to be the theme of Tuesday night's "Hellcats." Of course, no episode can start without an ab-flashing dance routine practice in the gym. The Hellcats show off their breast cancer benefit routine for the new head of athletics, Dean Laverne. Although they appreciate the support and interest, the dean seems to like the routine a little too much. His pervy eyes and description of the routine as "tasty dance moves" are kind of creepy for my taste, but then again it's just a TV show.
Post perving-out, Dean Laverne turns on Vanessa and begins grilling her about her relationship with Red and information about Red's ex-wife Emily. Completely caught off guard, Vanessa sputters out a few sentences about not knowing much and asks why the interest. Well, turns out the NCAA has Lancer University under the microscope for their recent shady activity, scandal and staff turnover. It just so happens Emily is the head lawyer for the NCAA and is out to get Red. Why? Well wouldn't you know…when Red was married to Emily when he cheated on her with Vanessa. Burn.
Moving on, Dan and Marti see Savannah and Lewis arguing. Marti asks what's up, Savannah tells them about Lewis and the cheating scandal, and Lewis storms off telling everyone to leave it alone. He just wants to face the Honor Court and accept the consequences for buying a paper off Betsy the volleyball player. Unsatisfied with this, Marti goes after Lewis, hounding him to let her help, which he reluctantly agrees to. So Marti hops on her bike and pedals down to her now-former law professor's swanky new office digs. Can we just get it out of the way right now that Julian the lawyer is hot?! Wow. Why I haven't taken notice before is beyond me.

It was supposed to be all about Lady Gaga, but last night's episode of "Glee" wound up being way more about Barbra. While the episode, titled "Born This Way" in honor Gaga's self-acceptance anthem, featured the hit song, it didn't exactly—pardon the expression—hit things on the nose.
When Mr. Schuester urged everyone—except an inexplicably missing Sue Sylvester—to accept themselves as they are, here's what went down with whom:
Rachel: After Finn's epically bad dancing knocked her to the floor, Rachel suffered a broken nose. She soon suffered a broken spirit, too, after her doctor suggested she get a nose job. Since that's her biggest insecurity, Rachel considered doing it, even bringing Quinn along for a doctor's visit to model her face after hers (this, thankfully, lead to the best performance of the night, a mash-up of TLC's "Unpretty" with "I Feel Pretty" from the musical "West Side Story"). After pleas from her glee-mates, including a flash mob dance at the mall to Duck Sauce's "Barbra Streisand" courtesy of Kurt, Rachel ultimately decided to honor her idol Babs and keep her nose as is.

It was only a matter of time before "Glee" did Gaga (AGAIN), right? How much more delightfully over the top can you possibly get? Fret not, Gleeks, the time has finally come with tonight's "Born This Way" episode. The cast is almost as excited as we are. Almost. Ashley Fink (pictured) celebrated "gleesday" with a tweet of pure excitement, saying, "it's #gleesday y'all! Born. This. Way. #excited!" Co-star Max Adler almost tweeted enough to bring on the fail whale, hyping both the show and a special Extra interview on NBC. "it's Glee day ya'll!! New episode. Born This Way. Tonight. FOX. Please tune in! Can't wait for you guys to see THIS one!" he tweeted, sharing in Ashley's y'all-inducing glee (pun totally intended).
"Glee" might be getting Gaga-fied, but "Happy Birthday" is the only song we expect to be sung in the Tatum household tonight. Channing Tatum turned 31 today and received the birthday tweets to prove it. Nick Zano tweeted, "Happy Birthday Chan - Happy Birthday to my sibling CHANNING TATUM. http://tumblr.com/xqm2a1r54e." Channing's wife, Jenna Dewan tweeted a super sweet, "Happy birthday to my favorite person on the earth @channingtatum :)"

"The Vampire Diaries" protagonist Elena Gilbert is a lot of things: adopted daughter, unfortunate doppelganger and possessor of one seriously hot bloodsucking boyfriend (just to name a few). But could she also be a green-eyed monster in disguise? Sure, she's in a committed relationship with Stefan, but that doesn't necessarily mean she wants to see Damon—a man she's enjoyed considerable chemistry with—chillaxing in a bubble bath with another woman.
So far, Damon's lady friend, local newscaster Andie Star, seems to have ruffled few of Elena's feathers, but that won't always be the case will it? (I'm sure you Damon-Elena shippers are hoping that's a big fat NO!). Well, we checked in with Andie's real-life doppelganger, actress Dawn Olivieri, to get the scoop (or what she would tell us, at least...)
"I think it's tough for girls not to become jealous of other girls whether they really are or not," Dawn replied when asked if Elena would become jealous of her character's relationship with Damon. "Whether there is any interference, it's just a natural thing. It's an instinctual thing for females. We do not want you near our males if we have some kind of herd going on. You have to stay away!"

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were spotted on the beaches of St. Thomas over Easter weekend (on April 22, to be exact) filming what appears to be honeymoon scene re-shoots for "Breaking Dawn." Kristen had previously shot "BD" beach scenes in a white bikini, and this time around she emerged sun-drenched in an emerald green string bikini.
Robert was spotted in what appeared to be black bottoms of some sort—and the two were seen getting busy on the beach. "They were kissing and pawing at each other like they couldn't resist," an onset source told Us Weekly. "She wrapped her legs around him as they kissed."

They may go unnamed in Suzanne Collins' dystopian thriller, but now you can put faces (and names!) to the actors portraying District 3's tributes: Meet Ian Nelson and Kalia Prescott!
The duo will represent Panem's electronics-producing region (a background that comes in handy for the male tribute during the Games). As you can guess, since neither tribute is named, these two don't play a huge part in the frenzied fight, but as I've alluded, you'll want to keep your eye on Ian's character, for sure.
As is the case with many of the tributes thus far in "The Hunger Games," Ian and Kalia are green in the Hollywood scene. In fact, the majority of Kalia's screen credits are as a stunt girl (very fitting for this particular production, no?). According to her resume, Kalia also holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. (We certainly wouldn't want to face her in the Arena!)

Have you ever wondered what becomes of all the amazing (and no doubt, costly) costumes after a movie finishes filming? Because that's ALL we could think about during "Water for Elephants." Seriously. The stunning gowns, the beaded circus wear, the boots worn by Robert Pattinson—what would happen to those things? Were they just going to be thrown in a trash can somewhere (and if so, WHERE IS THAT TRASH CAN)?
Luckily for us, "WFE" costume designer Jacqueline West stepped in before we descended into Dumpster-diving madness and provided some answers. The clothes, at least for "WFE," were not discarded (phew!). In fact, Jacqueline said that Reese and Rob actually kept some of the items.

It's not often that the cast of "Glee" rocks right. outside. our. office (a.k.a Times Square). So it goes without saying that yesterday was a pretty awesome day for us (we even sent an intrepid intern to cover the madness!). While all eyes were on the "Glee" cast as they filmed (seriously, the sidewalks were packed!), our eyes were pretty much glued on Dianna Agron, who arrived on the "set" in a super-cute, totally summer-ready, printed dress that we knew we had to have the moment we saw it.
Lucky for us (and our readers!), we're pretty determined gals, and with a little investigative prowess we were able to track it down.

After being whisked away on a surprise trip to Cabo by boyfriend Jay Cutler, Kristin Cavallari returned to the States with a big, shiny smile on her face...and a bigger, shinier engagement ring on her pretty little finger, according to People. Aww! We love it when MTV alumni find love. And while we wait for Kristin to announce her upcoming wedding date (and leak a photo or two of the reportedly 5.2-carat rock, because come on), we thought we'd check up on the marital status of her fellow "Hills" co-stars. What's happening in the love lives of our favorite California girls? Check it!
Lauren Conrad has been happily coupled with boyfriend Kyle Howard for more than two years—though she's in no hurry to walk down the aisle. The star of "The Hills" has repeatedly squashed any rumors that the two are engaged, claiming that she's way too busy with her professional pursuits as an author, designer and style icon. (Psh. BORING.) Still, our money's on Lauren as the next one to tie the knot.
