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

In anticipation of the first episode of Pretty Little Liars Season 3, ABC Family is debuting the official music video for the first song off of ZZ Ward’s album Criminal. If her name sounds familiar it should — her soulful and powerful track “Til the Casket Drops” has been stuck in our heads ever since we watched the world premiere trailer for PLL Season 3 and first heard it. Watch the video below and see how many props and settings look eerily familiar! (Also, keep an eye peeled for sneak peek scenes from the upcoming season!)

Here’s what we spotted: the splattered red ‘A’ against the wall (which was also used in the first promo poster for PLL Season 3), the infamous shovel, the bench near Alison DiLaurentis’ memorial (before Lucas destroyed it) and the spooky Rosewood cemetery of course! Plus, did anyone get a load of Mona Vanderwaal spontaneously bursting with anger and fury at the psych ward? She totally tossed that table aside like it was nothing. (Even the Hulk has nothing on this crazy gal!)

So, what do you think of ZZ Ward’s Pretty Little Liars inspired music video for “Til the Cradle Drops”? Leave your feedback below and tune in for the premiere episode, “It Happened That Night,” on June 5 at 8pm ET/PT on ABC Family!

Who knew Rachel Berry could bring the hotness? I spied Lea Michele in this LWD by Amen outside the David Letterman show, which she accessorized with a pair of nude Louboutins. Could our little Lea have a shot at playing the sex kitten in her next non-Glee role? Or is she destined to stay in William McKinley High forever?

File this tidbit under L for Least Surprising News of the Day–I hear that Chris Brown nearly started a fight in a Vegas nightclub the day before the Billboard Music Awards. Apparently CB was holding court at Haze at Aria, buying bottles of Champagne for a group of girls (and yes, he does have a girlfriend) but flipped out when the ladies moved on to the next table to flirt with someone else.

RiRi’s awful ex nearly punched the other guy out, but security managed to break up the brawl before it started. Wouldn’t you expect better of a guy with a girlfr–wait, nevermind. I forgot who we were talking about for a second…XOXO.

Spotted: Modern Family cutie Sarah Hyland getting a lift from a guy in a panda suit at photographer Tyler Shields’ new exhibit, MOUTHFUL. Unfortunately, Mr. Panda didn’t realize she just underwent major surgery–a kidney transplant–less than a month ago and shouldn’t exactly be tossed around by a Furrie, but the pint-sized starlet smiled for the cameras anyway (despite the look of terror in her big brown eyes) along with BF Matt Prokop. Ain’t love grand, darlings? XOXO.

 

Perverts across the world (myself included) are rallying around the newest literary sensation, Fifty Shades of Grey, but Selena Gomez is taking her love of the erotic novel to new levels with this tres hilarious Funny or Die video.

Take a peek and tell me who you’re itching to see play Christian Grey in the big screen version–Ian Somerhalder? Alexander Skarsgard? Alex Pettyfer? Max Irons?

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)!

There’s nothing worse than a good girl who is exactly as wonderful and sweet as she seems–so boring, darlings. But, even my black little heart couldn’t help but soften just a tad at Taylor Swift’s latest good deed. I hear that she phoned and sent flowers to the family of a soldier killed in Afghanistan to offer her condolences. Sgt. Wade Wilson was a big T.Swizzle fan, and now the singer has decided to wear his dog tags in her next video to show her support and appreciation.

Le sigh. Fine. Taylor just gets more lovely as the days go on, doesn’t she? Should other starlets be more like Taylor and give back more than just autographs to their fans?

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.

 

“Mona played with dolls. I play with body parts.” Uhhhhm, can you say creepy? Seriously, that text message the Liars receive in the promo trailer gives us major heebie jeebies! Who do you think is sending them the new messages if not Mona Vanderwaal? Leave your predictions about “It Happened That Night’” below!
