"If At First You Don't Succeed, Lie..."
— 01/31/11

For the past few weeks, the Pretty Little Liars cast has kept busy filming new episodes for the show’s highly-anticipated third season. However, despite late-night set scenes, scary twists and um, graver, moments, they know how to keep the mood light and fun! Luckily for all us excited viewers, their version of fun usually equates to hilarious videos and behind the scenes pictures. Check out some of our favorite photos of our Rosewood peeps living it up on set during the month of May (as shared by Troian Bellisario, Ian Harding, Ashley Benson, show creator Marlene King and incredible PLL director Norman Buckley)!

As hardcore fans of Pretty Little Liars and all things A-related, we enjoy shows that are bursting with drama. So when we heard about Bunheads — a new ABC Family series about a disenchanted dancer  who takes a leap of faith by getting married, leaving her job as a Las Vegas showgirl, and moving in with her new husband only to discover that he still lives with his mother — we knew we had to check it out!

Not only does the show focus on a group of talented ballerinas dealing with personal issues while perfecting their pirouettes and échappé sauté, but it’s also full of heartfelt (and often hilarious) moments as a big city girl (played by Sutton Foster) searches for her place in a small-town and tries to adjust to life with her pain-in-the-tutu mother-in-law (played by Kelly Bishop). Plus, the series is executive produced by Gilmore Girls mastermind Amy Sherman-Palladino so there’s lots of entertaining banter to look forward to!

While Bunheads premieres on June 11th at 9:00 PM ET/PT, 3000 of you lucky viewers will get to watch it before everyone else! Just click on http://abcfamily.go.com/watch/gate/bunheads and type in the secret, case-sensitive access code: TeenBunheads. Act quickly though because there is a restricted number of views, and the code expires on Sunday, May 27th!

After you watched the sneak peek first episode, feel free to come back here and let us know what you thought about Bunheads in the comments! (We loved the premiere and can’t wait to hear what you thought about this wonderful dance-centric show!)

WARNING: The Canadian promo for Pretty Little Liars season 3 may contain some ultra delicious spoilers. Watch at your own risk.

Pretty Little Liars season 2 turned out to be one intense thrill ride, and all the secrets and dangerous twists culminated into one mind-blowing finale episode in which A was finally unmasked! Our favorite girls should be well out of harm’s way, right? Wrong! Hold onto your seats, pretties, because finding out who A’s identity was just the beginning — Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily will soon learn that the dark little games are far from over and that their beloved town is crawling with malicious creepers! Watch the Canadian promo below to sneak a peek at all the upcoming PLL Season 3 mysteries and horrors.

The Pretty Little Liars writers, directors and cast have kept busy on twitter these past few weeks answering questions about the upcoming Season 3 premiere. While we love the juicy details they share with fans, we’re selective as to which ones we posts since we want to avoid spoiling the exciting episode. However, we couldn’t resist a recent spoiler  tweeted out by Bryan Holdan (a PLL writer) when a viewer asked him if Kate Randall will pop up at all to resume sabotaging poor Hanna Marin. He responded straightforwardly, “Looks like not in 3A. Too bad; I like her bad girl moves as ‘Kate.’”

While we don’t like seeing Hannakins picked on, we do enjoy watching her go into queen bee mode and get sassy with Kate — saying there’s too much tension between the two is a total understatement. However, out with the old, in with the new. Don’t fret your pretty little heads over crazy Kate not returning for the first part of the season, because Rosewood is adding two more residents to its rapidly growing population roster! The first is CeCe Drake, according to TVLine.com, is a “beyond-charismatic twentysomething blonde stylist at a boutique that has one heel in the present, one in the past.” The second is Kenneth who is described as a “middle-aged enigma who comes off as intimidating in large part because … well, he’s an enigma.”

If there’s anything that we’ve come to learn about Rosewood and its supposedly harmless residents, is that nothing — and no one — is as it seems!

What do you think about CeCe and Kenneth — are trustworthy or up to no good? Post your feedback for the newbies of Pretty Little Liars Season 3 below!

Just like her Pretty Little Liars character Aria Montgomery, Lucy Hale has had her fair share of heartbreaks over the years. As the June/July 2012 neon-necklace-rocking cover girl for Girls’ Life magazine, she recently shared her wise outlook on love, dating, and guilty summer pleasures. Check out what she had to say below and preview some photos from the upcoming issue!

On heartache: “I’ve been cheated on. It sucks. People come in and out of your life for a reason. If you turn it into something good, you can move on.”

On how she separates good boyfriends from bad ones: “I date people I see a future with. [My boyfriend and I] talk 24/7. If I want to text you, I’ll text you. I don’t play games.”

On her guilty summer pleasure: “My summer guilty pleasure has to be the sun. Obviously, it’s not very good for you, but when it’s summertime, I love to go to the beach or lay by the pool.”

If you could interview Lucy Hale, what would your top question be? Post it in the comments!

Ashley Benson keeps it cute and casual in a short summer dress while out and about shopping at Westfield Mall on Tuesday (May 15) in Los Angeles.

Later that day, Ashley posted a pic to her Twitter page of two huge billboards displaying her upcoming movie, Spring Breakers.

Although the exciting video hasn’t been released yet, Lucy tweeted pictures from the desert-based set and praised the talented singer as being “the sweetest guy”! Jackson responded with a wonderful message as well: “Not only is @lucyyhale talented and beautiful but she’s one of the nicest and sweetest people.”

Check out photos of this fun duo filming romantic scenes for the upcoming music video below!

So tell us, which Pretty Little Liars star would you love to see star in your favorite band’s or singer’s new video? Dish away in the comments!

Lucy Hale rocks neon necklaces on the cover of Girls’ Life June/July 2012 issue.

The 22-year-old Pretty Little Liars actress chatted with the mag about dating, rumors, and break-ups. Check it:

On knowing whether or not a guy is boyfriend material: “I date people I see a future with. [My boyfriend and I] talk 24/7. If I want to text you, I’ll text you. I don’t play games.”

On rumors she dated co-star Ian Harding (AKA Mr. Fitz): “People thought I broke Ian‘s heart, which is crazy.”

On learning from past relationships: “I’ve been cheated on. It sucks. People come in and out of your life for a reason. If you turn it into something good, you can move on.”

Even with just a few weeks left to go, the premiere of Pretty Little Liars Season 3 and the official release of PLL Book 11: Stunning may seem very far away to Rosewood fans worldwide. Have no fear though because along with frequent cast updates and sneak peek trailers and photos, we’ve got some exciting book news for you — Sara Shepard is adding to the daily PLL care package with a first look at Stunning! Enjoy a juicy snippet from the book’s prologue below:

Have you ever done something so shameful, so shocking, so unlike you that you wanted to disappear? Maybe you hid out in your room all summer, too mortified to show your face. Maybe you begged your parents to let you switch schools. Or maybe your parents didn’t even know about your secret—you ran away from them, too. You were afraid they’d take one look at your and instantly know what you’d done.

A certain pretty girl in Rosewood carried a secret around for nine long months. She ran away from everything and everyone—except her three best friends. When it was all over, they swore they’d never tell a soul.

But this is Rosewood. And in Rosewood, the only way to keep your secrets is to have none at all…

The upcoming PLL book sounds focused on Emily — apparently the new ‘A’ is ready to make the swimmer’s life chaotic and miserable. (Of course we’re just basing this all on the Liar’s athletic outfit on the cover and the whole “nine months” clue…wink wink.) So, that being said, what do you think about PLL Book 11: Stunning thus far? What’s your biggest question about Emily Fields’s dark past? Post your feedback below!

*Psst. How would you like PLL Book #11: Stunning delivered right to your doorstep the exact day it’s released? Be the first to enjoy the newest Pretty Little Liars book by Sara Shepard by ordering your copy today or by downloading the ebook edition!*
