Pretty Little LiarsWe can’t wait any longer for the return of "Pretty Little Liars." Basically, June 5 can’t come soon enough. Based on several new teases from the season three premiere (watch them at Aceshowbiz.com), it seems that while one A (Mona) is in the a psychiatric center, there are plenty more A-Team members around to stir up trouble for the liars as they try to move on from Alison’s mysterious death.

And this week he stars in the creepy thriller, "Chernobyl Diaries." While he will have us screaming out of fright in his latest film, we have to say we’re more used to screaming for him in concert. Either way, he’s pretty sweet eye candy and this week’s Hump Day Hottie.

Wondering how this season of "Degrassi" will end? Well, we can’t give it all away, but we can offer you an EXCLUSIVE sneak peek at what is in store for the kids of the hit show.

Posted 5/17/12 5:11 pm EST by in TV News, Videos


When we last left Mona, she had been locked away in a psychiatric ward after confessing to being A. However, like all things on "Pretty Little Liars," nothing is what it seems. And where there’s an A, there’s plenty more trouble brewing. With the third season quickly approaching, Mona herself, Janel Parrish, promised things will only get crazier.

"When we come back, it's six months after the finale, and you’ll find out more about the A-team. Mona is at Radley Sanitarium where we left her,” she said, teasing this scintillating piece of 411. "And you’ll see who’s been visiting her."

Zooey Deschanel Says You'll Have To Wait To See Her As Loretta Lynn

Posted 5/16/12 2:08 pm EST by in Casting News, Movie News, Movies, Stage/Theater, Videos


Zooey Deschanel will go from being a "New Girl" to a "Coal Miner's Daughter" when she hits the Great White Way to portray country singer Loretta Lynn in the stage adaptation of her 1980 biopic.

When the news broke that the singer/actress had been hand-picked by Ms. Lynn to play her in the Broadway production of her book-turned-movie, the quirky actress seemed like the perfect choice, given her love for all things folksie. Plus, the role might help her move out of her comfort zone of playing big-eyed, innocent indie chicks. “Coal Miner’s Daughter” follows the story of Loretta's childhood in rural Kentucky. While we all want to buy tickets to the show, Zooey told us while at the Fox Upfront earlier this week that it’ll be a while before she hits the stage, but she's psyched nonetheless.

“It’s not gonna be for a very long time, but I’m excited, very excited,” she said. “What if I was most excited about the clothes? Not the clothes! I love Loretta Lynn, so I’m just really excited that I get to portray her.”

Nina Dobrev Will 'Rock It Out' As Vampire Elena, Kat Graham Gushes

Posted 5/16/12 10:05 am EST by in TV News, Videos


Nina Dobrev's been pulling double duty on "The Vampire Diaries" for a while now—portraying both human Elena Gilbert and her lookalike, vampire Katherine Pierce. But after Elena's transformation during the season three finale last week, it looks like the Canadian cutie will be all vampire, all the time (and we couldn't be more excited to see how this plays out). Of course, we're not the only ones. Nina's co-star Kat Graham is also pretty stoked by the idea.

"Oh well, I’m so excited," Kat shared with MTV News earlier this week at Wango Tango. "I love Nina. I’m a huge fan of her. She works so hard and, as her friend, I get to see when she plays Katherine versus when she plays Elena. So it’s really great for me to be able to, I don’t know, I’m getting so excited to see what she’s going to do because it obviously has to be different than Katherine. And she’s definitely going to bring the vulnerability of Elena to it, and she’s gonna rock it out. I know she will."

But it might not be just Elena who makes a move to the dark side. Kat shared that witchy Bonnie might also embrace that side of herself next season.

Posted 5/16/12 8:00 am EST by in Eye Candy


Chace Crawford is hitting the big screen this week in "What To Expect When You're Expecting" (try saying that five times fast!), and we have to say, he has a face that should always be seen on the biggest screen possible. The "Gossip Girl" star has been making us melt for years now, and in honor of his big, blue eyes and that Southern-fried charm we are naming him our Hump Day Hottie.

Check out this dreamy photo of Chace and keep reading for more details about him!

Vital stats: This Texas-raised 26-year-old moved around a bit as a kid before settling in Dallas, where he graduated from high school. He attended Pepperdine University for a while studying broadcast journalism, perhaps knowing he'd end up on TV eventually. While he never pursued a career in the field, his sister, former beauty queen and Mrs. Tony Romo, Candice, eventually did.

Nina Dobrev Opens Up About Bonding With Mom For Got Milk? Campaign

Posted 5/15/12 3:55 pm EST by in Do-Gooders, Videos


Nina Dobrev might have a taste for blood during the upcoming fourth season of “The Vampire Diaries,” but as the current face of the iconic Got Milk? campaign, it seems she’s just hankering for dairy products.

Nina isn’t getting a milk mustache all by herself. For the ad, she’s joined by her mama, Michaela, and she’s excited to finally get the chance to share the spotlight with her. “It’s cool. I’m in New York City. I’m launching the ‘Like Her, Like Me’ program, which is for Got Milk?” she told MTV News last week about the campaign, which is in conjunction with Seventeen magazine.

“You know, it’s funny because all my life my mom has been so supportive of me, but I’ve always been the one in front of the camera,” she said. “And now we get to both be co-stars and do this together. And when we shot it in Atlanta a few months ago, she flew out and we hung out and did spa treatments and we really turned it into this awesome bonding experience.”

Posted 5/15/12 1:30 pm EST by in TV News, Videos


Let’s file this one under "NO DUH": Scott Foley apparently had a secretive, sexy time filming “True Blood.” The former “Felicity” star opened up to us at the Fox Upfront on Monday, where he revealed what we always imagined to be true, namely, that “True Blood” might be the hottest set in TV history.

“I am going to be on ‘True Blood.’ It was really exciting,” he told Hollywood Crush on the red carpet where he was promoting his other small-screen venture, “The Goodwin Games.” “I had a great time shooting it. I spent the last nine months shooting this season and it was very secretive, very sexy, a lot of blood and fangs.”

If you'll recall the closing episodes of season four, Scott plays war vet Patrick, who comes to town to meet up with old pal Terry. While he wouldn’t share much else about what kind of trouble could be brewing with his character in Bon Temps, he did tease that he gets sexy with someone on the show and that we might even get to see the Full Foley.
