Wait a second—are you trying to tell us we haven’t shaken off A for good? Well, if the just-released trailer for the third season of "Pretty Little Liars" divulges anything, it’s just that.

Despite the revelation that Mona was the creepster behind all those menacing messages, the texts are back and they are as ominous as ever. And it goes without saying that the four liars aren’t getting any breaks. In fact, A has this message for the ladies: "Game on!" (To be fair, Mona did warn them that there is an A team, so we sort of figured we hadn’t seen the last of her/him/them/whatever.)

The show called "Bombshell" finally gave us one: As anyone who watched the "scenes from next week" could attest, 10 seconds into last night’s episode, we finally got our answer to the will-they-won't-they sad pairing of Ivy and Dev. They totally hooked up. Of all the crazy twists and turns, this I didn’t see coming. Remember when Dev was likable? Sleeping with your girlfriend's arch-enemy/sometimes BFF is one of those things you can't come back from. Hats off to the "Smash" producers, though. The two didn’t—as I had feared—pretend not to know each other. Instead, they were simply two upset people who made a very bad decision.

Bad decisions, and their ramifications, were at the heart of “Smash,” which showcased opening night of previews for their out-of-town tryout...complete with return addition (and former Julia paramour) Michael Swift. Michael was totally ready to begin a third round of their affair, but Julia—with husband and son in tow—wasn’t going to go there. Julia was also mad at Tom, who she was convinced threw her under the bus when it came to recasting the part. She informed him the producers couldn’t have brought Michael back if those two had voted together, but since Tom went along with Eileen and Derek, it was his fault Michael was back in the show. This was a really difficult fight to watch, because it was hard to have any sympathy whatsoever for Julia. Yes, she was trying to piece her life back together, but I found myself agreeing with Tom: Who else was the show suppose to hire at the last-minute?

Remember when your friends would come over and your mom would whip out the ol' photo album? And somehow every picture she showed was extremely embarrassing and you never understood how celebrities always had adorable childhood photos when you looked like a troll dressed in floral spandex?

That's how we feel when we look at this picture of Tom Felton and Emma Watson from the first day of filming "Harry Potter." Looking back on this photo 11 years later, they look absolutely adorable sitting down to work on some homework in between takes. And they look normal. No neon scrunchies, poofy pink dresses or baggy UFO pants—just jeans, hoodies and a baseball cap. Lucky children.

Elizabeth Banks is currently out and about to promote her upcoming film, "What To Expect When You're Expecting," but we couldn't resist asking her a few more "Hunger Games" questions when we caught up with her and co-star Ben Falcone. (I mean, the Quarter Quell is nearly upon us! Priorities!) And since Elizabeth is always game to talk about her role in the dystopian trilogy, we went ahead and asked: Can she get Ben a spot in the sequel?

"Yes," she declared, then turned to Ben and made a mind-blowing pronouncement: "You are the new president of the Capitol!"

Don't freak out, she's only kidding. Probably. Definitely. (Although let's face it, Ben would be a pretty great evil dictator—just look how quickly he dissed his Panem predecessor and blew Donald Sutherland a big, fat raspberry!)

If fans weren't already aware that "Spring Breakers"—starring Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson—isn't a PG-rated teen flick about tanning on the beach and falling in love with the sensitive lifeguard, these photos from Interview magazine will surely clear that up. The film, directed by Harmony Korine, is gritty and violent and has these formerly innocent starlets running around in bikinis, robbing restaurants and plotting murders.

"Spring Breakers" appears to be squeaky clean fun thanks to Selena's and Vanessa's Disney roots and Ashley's role in "Pretty Little Liars" on ABC Family. But Selena told Interview that departing from their stereotypical characters is why she chose this film.

It won't be long now before the cast of "Snow White and the Huntsman" take to the air (and internet) waves for a long, luxurious Q&A session following the debut of an EXCLUSIVE clip from the film—and make no mistake, their question-answering pumps are primed! Thanks, of course, to Josh Horowitz, who sat down with Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth and Sam Claflin for the rapid-fire response-a-thon known as the "Yes/No Show."

As always, when the acceptable answers are limited to one of two words, the result can be summed up in just one: SHENANIGANS. Will Kristen repurpose her Snow White costume for Halloween this year? Does Charlize have a superiority complex and a penchant for skinny-dipping? Does Chris woefully underestimate his capacity to tear apart other human beings with his bare hands? (Hint: All these questions can be answered with a big, fat YES.) And now that the cast has had a trial run on managing interviews as a group, they should be that much more fantastic when they get a shot at some long-form responses during their sit-down after the premiere of MTV First: Snow White and the Huntsman tomorrow night.

Ever since we learned former "Law & Order: SVU" star Christopher Meloni would portray a high-ranking member of the Vampire Authority on "True Blood," we've been dying for a glimpse of the befanged baddie. HBO has finally obliged, doling out not only a slew of new publicity stills from the upcoming fifth season but also debuting a new clip (titled "Vampyr"), which shows Christopher at his bloody best.

What exactly we're seeing in this clip, besides some sort of platelet-letting ceremony, is a bit unclear, but the bite opens with a hooded figure sauntering into a candle-lit room, chanting what we think is Latin. Quick shots of the assembled mass reveal newcomers Christopher Heyerdahl ("New Moon") and Carolyn Hennesy (Barb from "Cougar Town"), but it's the closing moments that provide the biggest reveal: It's Detective Stabler under those robes! What would Olivia say?

Hannah's not-quite-boyfriend Adam continued to display keen insight into the female psyche during last night's "Girls," sending the least sexy sext in the history of sexts—an image of his penis wrapped in a squirrel skin. Yes, this affair has taken a turn for the hillbilly. And just when it seemed things couldn't get more awkward, a second message pinged through to Hannah's phone: "SRY that wasn't for you." Note the spelling of "sorry." Given Adam's history, it shouldn't have come as much of a surprise that he was seeing someone else, but Hannah was nonetheless bothered. Channeling every best friend ever, Marnie advised her not to respond. And she didn't...for a whole 30 seconds, snapping a naughty pic of her own, meant to, well, I'm not sure.

Boy troubles aside, Hannah seemed to have one part of her life on the right track—with little fanfare, she procured a job. Doing what, exactly, was unclear but it involved Windows. Her boss—a middle-aged man—noticed how tense she was and began administering the Reiki healing skills he picked up at Club Med. Now, I don't know much about this particular practice, but it apparently involves fondling the recipient's breasts. Later in the women's restroom, Hannah asked her co-workers about their boss' tendency towards inappropriate touching, and they said it was just part of the job. After all, he buys them iPods for their birthdays and sends their sisters to camp! (It's also worth noting Hannah got the most ridiculous eyebrow makeover ever during this bathroom bonding session.)

The untimely death of the Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch has touched the hearts of music and film fans alike. As a rapper, director and producer, he's been a creative force since co-founding the iconic hip-hop trio in 1978. After the news broke that Adam had lost his long battle with cancer, the entertainment community—including actress Elizabeth Banks—took to Twitter to express their condolences.

Elizabeth's Hunger Games" co-star Lenny Kravitz also shared his sentiments, writing, "Rest in peace MCA. You are a legend. No sleep 'till Brooklyn."

Being a teenager is not easy. Not only is your body enduring all those weird changes, but high school can be a war zone full of mean girls and teachers with bad breath. There's also a 99.9 percent chance your parents don't understand you. If you've ever felt this way, you're not alone.

Meet Ansiedad (Cierra Ramirez), the protagonist of "Girl in Progress," a 13-year-old feeling neglected by her single mother, Grace (Eva Mendes). The two rarely see eye-to-eye: Ansiedad scares her mother with death metal music, and Grace embarrasses her daughter with her booty-pop dance routines. As Grace attempts to balance work and her affair with a married doctor, Ansiedad creates a list of what she needs to accomplish to propel herself to adulthood—based on the coming-of-age stories she's been reading in English class.
