Lucy Hale steps out in a cute crocheted top at the McDonald’s Chicken McBites launch party held at Siren Studios in Hollywood on Thursday night (January 26).

The 22-year-old actress joined her peers at the party which also featured a performance by Salt n Pepa, and music by DJ C-Squared.

When we recently chatted with Lucy, we had to know about any possible music plans. Check out what she told us:

“I would like to, but as I mentioned before, it’s all about timing. When I want to make my own music, I want to be completely involved. I want to make sure I know exactly what I want to do and I’m sorting that out and finding my sound. I love country music. I think I would want to make a country album, maybe,” Lucy shared.

TELL JJJ: Would you buy Lucy’s album?

Every couple knows that when a relationship intensifies, that meeting a significant others parents becomes an inevitable event! And on Pretty Little Liars Season 2, Maya St. Germain’s going to have the pleasure of meeting Emily’s family…again! Luckily for Miss Maya, she’s already met Pam Fields (Emily’s sweet yet conservative mom who struggles with her daughter’s sexual orientation). Unluckily for her, she and Pam didn’t necessarily get off on the right foot. (Basically, Pam found weed in Maya’s bag, reported her, and got her sent to juvie bootcamp—yikes!)

Now that Maya has returned to Rosewood, and she and Emily are rekindling their romance, it’s more important than ever for her to get along with Pam. In fact, Emily wants nothing more than for her boo and mamadukes to let bygones be bygones that she’s actually arranging a girls night out in order to reintroduce her mom to the “new” Maya! (It could be hella awkward, it could be mucho fun—either way we’ll officially find out on in “A Kiss Before Lying“!)

Two questions: a. Um, why did Noel Kahn and Maya look so freaking chummy? (Suspicious yo!) b. And, are we being paranoid or was Maya being deliberately sassy with Pam when she said, “Nice work, Pam! You say jump and they say how high, huh…”? Sound off in the comments, and be sure to tune in for an all new Pretty Little Liars Season 2 episode on Monday at 8/7c on ABC Family!

Shay Mitchell and Bianca Lawson sneak around in the dark in this new still from Pretty Little Liars.

In next week’s episode “A Kiss Before Lying,” After putting her foot down about Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) with her friends, Hanna (Ashley Benson) begins to feel that she is getting the cold shoulder from them.

Aria (Lucy Hale), Emily (Mitchell) and Spencer (Troian Bellisario) seem to be up to something, but she can’t quite seem to figure out what it is. But what Hanna may take as the cold shoulder, could really be just a case of guilty consciences from her friends.

And if her best friends avoiding her weren’t enough, Kate’s (Natalie Hall) first day at Rosewood High is looming. Now that her evil step-sister is invading Hanna’s space, she needs her friends more than ever.

“A Kiss Before Lying” premieres Monday, January 30th @8PM ET/PT on ABC Family.

Ashley Benson rocks a red hot top as she makes a lunch run to Togo’s in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon (January 25).

The 22-year-old actress started off her week with a trip to Good Day LA to chat about the rest of the Pretty Little Liars season.

But just before the taping, Ash‘s gorgeous blue dress ripped!

“Uh oh. Dress ripped. Ahhhh currently being safety pinned into my dress. Gotta love it.” she tweeted of the quick solution.

Emily Fields hasn’t had the best of luck when it comes to finding love in Rosewood. First, she broke up with her long-term boyfriend Ben on Pretty Little Liars Season 1. Then, she fell for Maya St. Germain (the free-spirited girl who moved into Alison DiLaurentis’ house) only to have to say goodbye when Maya was shipped off to juvie camp. Next came Paige—the initially psycho, homophobic teammate who shocked viewers when she revealed she had feelings for Em (via a late-night smooch). Finally, there was beautiful, blond bombshell Samara (played by Vampire Diaries star Claire Holt). Their relationship was chugging along splendidly—that is until A came and caused a massive wreck by forcing Emily to flirt with one of Samara’s best friends!

Fortunately for kind, compassionate Emily, it looks like there may be a happily-ever-after (at least a few weeks worth) for her after all! In “A Kiss Before Lying” she and Maya grow closer than ever before and share an intimate, romantic evening together. (They even seal the deal with a sweet kiss!)

This is the look of someone hiding a juicy secret!

Is the Pretty Little Liars quartet dwindling down to trio? Not to worry—Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings, Emily Fields, and Hanna Marin aren’t parting ways any time soon! However, the Liars will begin leaving Hanna out of the “Who is A” loop in order to continue working with Caleb on cracking A’s phone files!

It sucks that the girls have to blatantly lie to Hanna’s face but she’s left them with no choice. After all, Hannakins isn’t too keen on her tech savvy boo getting involved with their little investigation…but the other Liars know that in order to beat A at his/her own game they’ll need some of that C.Rivers hacker magic.

Sneak a peek at an intense moment (positively seeping with situational irony) between Hanna and the Liars from Pretty Little Liars episode 2.18, “A Kiss Before Lying“!

Should the Liars tell Hanna the truth or is this one covert mission they should keep to themselves? Sound off in the comments, and be sure to tune in for Pretty Little Liars episode 218 on Monday at 8/7c on ABC Family!

When Tom Marin tied the knot with Isabel Randall on Pretty Little Liars season 2, Hanna not only gained a new step-mom but a stepsister as well. Normally, Hanna’s the type of girl who loves making new friends—especially ones who relish fashion almost as much as she does! Unfortunately though, Kate Randall’s more of an enemy who’s already declared warfare by: a. threatening Hanna over the phone, b. calling Grandma Regina (Hanna’s nana) “an old hag” and c. tricking poor Hannakins into getting crunked on vodka at their parents’ rehearsal dinner (which led to a really icky moment involving Isabel’s wedding dress).

Well, it appears Lady Luck isn’t on Hanna’s side in “A Kiss Before Lying,” because Tom Marin moves back to Rosewood to keep tabs on his daughter and bringshis new familia with him! That’s right — the wicked sister returns….for good!

Check out Hanna’s first interaction with her not-so-sweet sister from another mister (technically, mother too) in the Pretty Little Liars episode 2.18 clip below!

As big of a devious diva that Kate is, relocating to a new school sure ain’t easy! Should Hanna give Kate the benefit of the doubt and try her best to make her feel welcome? Sound off in the comments, and be sure to tune in for Pretty Little Liars episode 218 on Monday at 8/7c on ABC Family!

Pretty Little Liars Season 2 has been one A-mazing thrillfest, and episode 2.17, “The Blond Leading The Blind” definitely augmented the chill factor with fresh footage (courtesy of the N.A.T. club)! Well, brace yourselves darling viewers, because Pretty Little Liars episode 2.18, “A Kiss Before Lying,” is going to be one unforgettable night in Rosewood: Aria and Ezra will continue their secret rendezvous. Spencer will lie to Hanna. Emily will try to organize a girl’s night out with her mom and Maya. Oh, and bitchy stepsister from hell, Kate Randall, returns. (Whoa whoa whoa…and OMG!)

Here’s the official synopsis for Pretty Little Liars Season 2 episode 18:

After putting her foot down about Caleb with her friends, Hanna begins to feel that she is getting the cold shoulder from them.  Aria, Emily and Spencer seem to be up to something, but she can’t quite seem to figure out what it is.  But what Hanna may take as the cold shoulder, could really be just a case of guilty consciences from her friends.  And if her best friends avoiding her weren’t enough, Kate’s first day at Rosewood High is looming.  Now that her evil step-sister is invading Hanna’s space, she needs her friends more than ever.

Meanwhile, Emily hopes that her mother’s visit to Rosewood will be a good opportunity to re-introduce her to Maya and have a better outcome this time.

SPOILER ALERT: Don’t read this post or the comments until you’ve watched Pretty Little Liars Season 2 episode 17, “The Blond Leading the Blind.”

The drama on Pretty Little Liars Season 2 continues to grow and PLL episode 2.17 was no exception! From a incriminating video footage to a sweet kiss in the rain, “The Blond Leading the Blind” was chock full of heartbreaking slash bone-chilling scenarios. And even more unforgettable? ‘A’ poking around in the Liars’ romantic affairs. (Sigh.) So let’s get on to all the moments that made us gasp with delight…and utter horror!

Five OMG Moments from Pretty Little Liars Season 2 episode 17!

1. N.A.T. Club Field Trip: The Liars are gathered outside the greenhouse (surprise, surprise) and are checking out the files Caleb was able to recover from A’s phone. After the usual eerie greeting (“I know you want to kiss me”) the video jumps to a never-before-seen moment filmed inside Alison DiLaurentis’ bedroom. Ian is setting up a creeper cam and, soon after, Garrett and Jenna enter the queen bee’s private chambers. What the bleepity bleep? It’s okay because Jenna cuts to the chase. “What the dilleyo, Ian?!” Ian admits that he tried to get Alison to fork over their sketchy little tapes but she was all like “nah, bro.” Jenna makes a perverted joke (which isn’t too out of character for a girl who blackmails her stepbrother into sleeping with her) but Garret gets all freak-a-leak on Ian: “This is your fault, Ian. I knew you’d go too far and those videos would come back to bite us. That’s why I bailed on this messed up club!” They scavenge the room for the videos and, suddenly, the future cop stumbles upon the treasure box Jason gave Aria in “Touched by an A’ngel“! Dun dun dun…End scene.

2. There’s No Such Thing as a Clean Break: For some reason, ahem ahem, ‘A’ has it out for Spencer and Toby. Every week it seems that he/she is all up in their biznatch: “Break up now, bitches, or suffer the consequences!” Well, ‘A’ finally puts the pedal to the metal (or more like the wrench to the nail) and went after Toby. Why? Because he and Spencer were caught mid-smoochies during their pick-up truck stakeout. So ‘A’ sends Spencer yet another menacing message (“I warned you”) just to let her know who’s really boss. Flash forward to Toby climbing the scaffolding that crazy A loosened in “Let the Water Hold Me Down”: The entire thing begins swaying then shaking. The structure gives way, lurches forward, and pretty soon all of Spoby’s hopes and dreams come crashing down (along with Toby unfortunately). Fret not though! Tobs lives to tell the tale—and gets a souvenir cast for his now broken arm in the process (let’s hope A doesn’t sign this one). Luckily for him, Spencer’s former lover (aka the much too old doctor who was once her sister’s fiance not to long ago) is taking good care of his medical needs. Unluckily for him, Spencer ends their steamy romance in an attempt to protect him from further murder attempts by A. After all, a broken heart heels much quicker than, oh say, death! Poor six-pack ab stud fella.
3. A Big, “Wet” Kiss: The parentals forbid Aria from ever seeing her literary boo again, so what does she do? She devilishly plots away with Holden. (A Liar’s gotta get her kicks somehow, ya know?) Her paste-loving pal has secrets of his own (apparently, he’s not gay like the rest her friends suspected) and wouldn’t mind scratching her back if she wouldn’t mind scratching his in return (otherwise known as covering up for each other so that they can enjoy their clandestine booty calls rendezvous). So Aria, tightly wrapped in a gorgeous trench coat, trades in Rosewood for Philadelphia and waits around for Ezra to accept her invite and make his move. Unfortunately, she waits around for a really long time (damn she’s optimistic). Fortunately for her, one of Ezra’s students moonlights as a part-time love doctor and prescribes the following: “Be bold. The mighty forces will come to your aid.” Soooo effin’ random…but downright necessary! Because right then and there Ezra finally listens to Aria’s voicemail and drops everything now, meets her in the pouring rain, kisses her in the middle of a busy street on the sidewalk, takes away her pain! (Basically, after this week’s “Sparks Fly” inspired moment, we’re firm believers that someone on the Pretty Little Liars writing team is a die-hard Taylor Swift fan.) The good news—at least there’s one happy couple left in Rosewood!

4. Flash Drive Smoothie: There’s much to tell with this moment aside from the fact that Hanna allowed her feelings for Caleb to cloud her judgment. Instead of being happy that her boyfriend hacked his way into some super juicy footage filmed the night Alison was murdered, Hannakins freaks out. (Understandably, she’s worried about his well-being and safety.) She freaks out even more when Caleb mentions that Garrett may or may not be obsessed with him (shut the bleep up, dude) and that he shows up wherever Caleb is trying to initiate passive aggressive chit-chat about forgetfulness and run-of-the-mill amnesia (seriously homie, pipe it down). However, Hanna’s heard too much. She grabs the flash drive from Caleb’s hand and plops in right into the blender. CLUNKITY CLUNK CLUNK CRUNCH ZZZZ SCREECH. That’s the nails-scratching-against-chalkboard sound the poor blender emits. Brilliant move, Hanna…not! Caleb doesn’t say anything but he’s probably thinking, “Damn, this chick is cray cray. Just keep smiling and back away slowly. Plus, don’t tell her you have a copy safely tucked away.”
5. The Odd Couple: Mona’s completely distraught over her ugly breakup with Noel (who proves how much of a jerk-wad he is by throwing the necklace he bought her in the trash). We’ve never seen Mona so completely defenseless and vulnerable…and it’s actually kind of refreshing to see her acting so….so…what’s that word? Ah, yes—human! Thankfully, Hanna finally decides to be a good friend and whips out all the stops to cheer up Rosewood’s very own Glamping queen. What does Hanna do? She listens, nods sympathetically, says  “amen, girl” numerous times, and gives Miss Mona a “there there, child” pat on the shoulder. (What—no ice-cream?!) She then suggests the best breakup cure of all…shopping! (We’re guessing Spencer didn’t fill Hanna in on that whole ugly cashmere sweater set ordeal.) So Mona and Hanna head out for a night out on the town (fake I.D.s and credit cards in tow) and they’re having a jolly good time…until, that is, they spot Noel and Jenna wining and dining (and most likely scheming and dreaming up big diabolical plans). Pssh! Mona, if it makes you feel better, Jenna’s what they call the “Rebound” chick. Boo ya!
   

The Big Ta-Da: Emily getting sassy with Jenna or being Spencer’s own personal liar? Toby skipping town? Nope. It was A. Burning Photos. Of Aria and Ezra kissing in Philly. And of Spoby. Ay yi yi. And sheer creepiness aside, there’s now even more evidence that someone in the PLL world seriously loves some Taylor Swift beats. (Pardon us but does “Picture to Burn” ring any bells?)
