Celebrity Fashion: Ashley Benson’s Chic New York City Style

Even when she’s not sipping on lattes, going on dates with her on-screen beau Caleb Rivers, or enjoying glamorous Pretty Little Liars events, Ashley Benson makes sure to dress up from head to toe.

Behind every frightened little liar, stands a woman whose encouragement and love turns a terrifying bad day into a bearable on! Yep. No matter what dark drama crazy ‘A’ stirs up, Hanna Marin, Aria Montgomery, Emily Fields, and Spencer Hastings know that their strong and fierce moms will be there to soothe their worries and concerns. Moreover, despite some slight personal vices, the moms of Rosewood are to be praised for rising to the occasion during tough times and for defending their daughters against (known) bullies and harsh accusations. So in honor of all the wonderful mothers on ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars, and in celebration of Mother’s Day 2012, we present to you this year’s “Best Rosewood Mom” nominees!



Ella Montgomery

Although Ella moved out of her house upon discovering that her husband Byron had cheated on her with his grad student Meredith, she’s a great mom to Mike and Aria. She’s concerned their being and tries to be as compassionate and understanding as possible. With Mike’s kleptomaniac delinquent behavior and Aria’s taboo romance with her English teacher, Ella has had her hands full on this season of Pretty Little Liars but she’s handled her maternal stress gracefully! Moreover, she’s open-minded and encourages her kids to explore travel, art, literature and different cultures!

Jessica DiLaurentis

We don’t see much of Jessica DiLaurentis but we do know that she’s a strong and admirable woman in the Rosewood community. Sure, she’s still suffering from the loss of her beloved daughter but she doesn’t take her anger and upset on anyone else, and still keeps in touch with the Liars. As Alison and Jason’s mom, she’s endured many hardships these past two seasons but, as she proven during the fashion show — which she organized in memory of Alison — on PLL Season 2, she’s still a caring and thoughtful mom.

Pam Fields

Pam may have temporarily relocated to Texas to be closer to her husband but, prior to leaving, she made sure that Emily was left in good hands (with Hanna’s family). Moreover, despite her initial difficulty with accepting Emily’s sexual orientation, Pam has come a long way in terms of marching in the gay pride parade. These last two seasons alone, she’s invited Emily’s crush Samara over for dinner, taken the time to get to know Maya St. Germain (and give her a second chance), apologized for her hurtful past actions, and even defended Emily against Paige McCullers’ irate and homophobic dad. Pam who always carves out time in her busy schedule for Em and is the kinda of Rosewood mom who supports her kid through thick and thin — especially during those intense Shark swim meets!

Veronica Hastings

Spencer and Melissa’s mom Veronica may be a tough critic when it comes to her daughters’ academic successes and athletic accomplishment, but all she desires is to see her girls take full of advantage of all opportunities that come their way. Moreover, this strong woman has proven more than enough times that she can handle any obstacles thrown her way! Not only did she brave through a cancer scare without burdening her kids and legally advised Spencer when she was being investigated as a suspect in Alison’s murder, but she also came to the Liars’ rescue when Wilden cornered them and proved that she’s a cool mom when she approved of Spencer’s relationship with Diego (despite his economic status). Hooray!

Ashley Marin

Yes, she stole money from an old lady. Yes, she hooked up with her engaged ex-husband. Yes, she seduced a cop. Despite some of her shortcomings, Ashley Marin is a wonderful single parent and pretty much Hanna’s rock in life. She listens to her woes, consoles her when she’s down, and goes through extraordinary lengths to provide her a good life. She stole the money to help pay the mortgage. She had a brief affair with Wilden to keep Hanna from getting a criminal record for shoplifting. Best of all? Ashley understands that Hanna suffers from self-esteem issues and always manages to bolster her spirits. She provides her with trips to the salon, gorgeous clothes, and lots of tender care and affection. Plus, she defended Hanna against Tom’s new family, Isabel and Kate, gave Caleb a home when he was in desperate need of one, masterminded a plan to find out who was bullying Hannakins, and was even sweet to Mona (who turned out to be crazy ‘A’)!

Which Pretty Little Liars mom deserves the distinction of being crowned the “Best Rosewood Mom”? Cast you vote in the poll below, and tell us why in the comments!

Teacher Appreciation Week: Rosewood Teacher of the Year [Poll]

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! This week, educators all across the United States are recognized and thanked for their diligence and prowess inside the classroom. The learning process isn’t easy but amazing instructors help make the attainment of copious amounts of knowledge possible! And despite some mistakes in their personal lives, the teachers and coaches in ABC Family’s hit series Pretty Little Liars are a top notch group. So in honor of all the Rosewood educators who raise the bar each day and make a difference in the lives of their students, we’re celebrating. Come and meet the incredible Rosewood High faculty!



Mr. Sheldrake

Mr. Sheldrake is an AP Russian History teacher at Rosewood High. He’s enthusiastic about education and tries hard to make his students competitive applicants in the college process. If he looks familiar, it’s because it is he who approached Spencer Hastings in Pretty Little Liars Season 1 about the Golden Orchid essay competition. Not only did he submit it for her but he also took the time to congratulate her — talk about a teacher who cares! (Unfortunately though, the poor guy didn’t know that Spencer had plagiarized the whole thing and that it actually was Melissa’s paper! Draaama.)

Ezra Fitz / Mr. Fitz

Alright, alright. We know that Mr. Fitz was having a secret romance with Aria, one of his students. However, despite his questionable lovey-dovey behavior, Mr. Fitz is actually a smart and capable educator. As an Honors English teacher at Rosewood High School, he motivates his students to look past the obvious and dig deeper. He’s had them ready many amazing novels – including The Great Gatsby – and he even helped his students explore theater with “The Bad Seed.” Best of all? His courage and character. When Noel tries to blackmail him into giving him an undeserved A on his paper, Mr. Fitz refuses to despite being his job being at risk. Also, when Paige’s dad stormed into the cafeteria in Pretty Little Liars Season 1 claiming Emily was being given preferential treatment because she’s gay, Ezra rose to the occasion and smoothly gets Mr. McCullers to calm down. He also chaperones school events such as dances and he’s been published which is a major accomplishment (Anyone remember “B-26”? Swoon!) Now he teachers at a college courses at Hollis but we’re sure his Rosewood students miss his (hotness) intellectual discussions a lot!

Coach Fulton

Coach Fulton is the awesome coach of the Rosewood High varsity swim team. Despite her amazing amount of Shark pride and winning streak, Coach Fulton is all about her swimmers working as a team rather than individual champs. Thus, when Paige accuses Emily of being chosen as swim team anchor because she’s gay, Spencer’s feels comfortable enough to approach Coach Fulton with the news. The caring coach then in turn brings together Emily and Paige to talk it out and confront Paige about the unsavory and disappointing remark she made. Moreover, Coach Fulton doesn’t play favorites at all – when Hanna is caught skipping gym, Coach issues her a detention. She may be strict but she sure knows how to lead a team!

Ella Montgomery / Mrs. Montgomery

True, Ella returned to teaching high school students as a way to earn more income for her rent (which she faced after moving out due to Byron’s adulterous ways). However, even after returning home, Ella continued teaching because she loves enlightening young minds! Not only is she an art pundit but she also knows a lot about literature. She motivates her students without being too pushy, considers their welfare (which is why she grew a bit hysterical when spotting Spencer in Ezra’s car on Pretty Little Liars Season 2), and even takes time out of her busy schedule to chaperone school events such as the fundraising dance in PLL Season 1 and monitoring the SAT exam in “The Perfect Storm.” And although Ella is all about rules, she is flexible and really cares about her students. When Emily approaches her asking for an extension, Mrs. Montgomery allows her the extra time because she knows that Emily is experiencing a lot of stress.

Ms. Welch

Mrs. Welch is a familiar face on the show. Remember all those times Aria and Ezra’s longing looks got interrupted? It’s because Mrs. Welch would surprise them with an impromptu visit. However, we can’t hate on this fabulous lady for getting in the way of Ezria moments. After all, she’s a wonderful English teacher who’s passionate about her field. She attends book events to keep up with the latest literature, is a friendly colleague, and she also goes above and beyond by helping out at school events such as the homecoming dance in Pretty Little Liars Season 1!

Miss Shepard

Ms.Shepard is only a substitute teacher at Rosewood but we definitely were super pumped when she filled in for Aria’s English class (even if it meant an episode without Mister Fitz)! Why? Because she was none other than Sara Shepard, the mastermind behind Pretty Little Liars and the world of Rosewood. She was knowledgeable, cordial, and approachable. Plus, her handwriting is amazing and we always appreciate a teacher who writes legible notes on the chalkboard!

Photo Credit: ABC Family

Vice Principal Tamberelli

It’s tough to like Vice Principal Tamborelli after the rude way he talked to Emily in “The Naked Truth” and finding out that he was accepting bribes from the father of a football player who got kicked off the team. However, with a little nudging from Mona, Mr. Tamborellli welcome Emily back onto the swim team! And we bet in a high school full of creepy A-ntics and sinister students, this poor guy’s got his work cut out for him. He not only has to mediate major disputes between students (as he did with Hanna and her backstabbing stepsister Kate), but he also has to find new ways to bolster school spirit and tolerance. He even went so far as to facilitate “Truth Up Day” in Pretty Little Liars Season 2 — a workshop meant to inspire students to own up to bullying behavior. (Plus, he’s got to deal with Mona Vanderwaal on a daily basis – isn’t that enough to garner him the title of Best Rosewood Faculty Member?)

‘Spring Breakers’ Get ‘Interview’ed

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

spring breakers interview mag Spring Breakers Get Interviewed

Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine flirt with the camera in this new shot from the May 2012 issue of Interview mag.

Spring Breakers follows the four college students who land in jail after robbing a restaurant to fund their spring break trip. After being bailed bailed out by Alien (James Franco), a drug-dealer and gunrunner, they’re seduced into his world.

“I was getting kind of repetitive in terms of the roles I was picking, and I really wanted to do something that was completely different,” Selena, 19, shared. “It was a mark thing for me—like, ‘This is what I want to be doing.’ I want to be taking myself seriously as an actress, and this was definitely a stretch. I mean, I’d never smoked a cigarette before in my entire life. It was really funny—they had to show me how to do it.”

Ashley, 22, added, “[Director] Harmony [Korine] wanted to break us all out of the good-girl mold. For Selena, Vanessa, and me, our audience is all in their teens or younger, so they’re not even going to be able to see this when it comes out—it’s not appropriate.”

‘Pretty Little Liars’ Season 3 Trailer: Get Your A-Game Ready!

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

5c6efb701ee2c93e27c9270ebf6aef04 Pretty Little Liars Season 3 Trailer: Get Your A Game Ready!

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.)

But game on indeed! With Mona in an institution, Garrett in jail and the ladies cavorting around town like everything will go back to normal, the girls quickly realize they won’t. “I bet you remember me,” A”says in a text, and from there things begin to crumble. Aria ends up locked in a bathroom stall screaming for her life and the girls are once again digging for clues out in the woods of Rosewood.

Just when fans thought they had answers, a whole new slew of questions are raised. Garrett drops an especially juicy tidbit telling Spencer, “There’s a lot you don’t know.”

We’re sure when season three kicks off on June 5 there will be a lot we find out, but there will be even more we’ll be wondering about. And we wouldn’t want it any other way.

The big day has finally arrived! After hyping us up with plenty of sneak peek photos and a juicy teaser trailer, ABC Family has finally released the world premiere promo trailer for Pretty Little Liars Season 3. And – hot damn – it’s a dream come true…or should we say nightmare?

In the preview we see the Liars trying to return to a normal existence in quaint Rosewood. According the synopsis for episode 3.01, the Liars enjoy a productive summer apart from each other: Spencer takes college classes at Hollis and gets cozy with Toby. Aria and Ezra hang out and she enrolls in a photography course. Emily travels to Haiti to build houses and Hanna keeps busy by taking cooking classes with Caleb. Well, soon enough the four of them realize that just because Mona’s tucked away at an asylum ward, doesn’t mean that the rest of their unmasked stalkers are ready to call it quits. They begin receiving creepy text messages again that threaten to expose their dark little secrets, and the familiar tingle of fear and paranoia kicks in right away!

Tune in for ABC Family’s world premiere promo below and watch as Liars receive strange messages from the new ‘A.’ Other points of interest include when Spencer visits Garrett in prison, Aria screams her head off in agonizing terror in the school bathroom stall, when Hanna confronts Mona for the first time after discovering her vicious agenda in the PLL Season 2 finale, and when the Liars find Alison DiLaurentis’ grave all dug up. Find out what sorts of new torments Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily encounter this time around in the Pretty Little Liars Season 3 video below!
