Pretty Little Liars - 2x18 - A Kiss Before Lying - Recap

The girls mull over the latest findings from the videos. They made the decision to shut Hanna out and bring Caleb in. Will A make them regret it? Will Hanna? Poor Hanna thinks the girls are ignoring her and freezing her out when they start to lie about hanging together and begin to dodge her calls. They're only trying to work with Caleb in secret but she doesn't know that. A knows that. And A threatens Hanna to make Caleb stop or her mom's secret about stealing the bank money will be told.

Person of Interest returns Thursday with a brand new episode. The episode features the return of Paige Turco as Zoe.

Here are some great sneak peeks at next week's new episode of Switched at Birth: Expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Will Emmett make good on his promise to move away from his mother and live with his dad? Will the family find out what Angelo is hiding? Personally, I hope and can't wait for Emmett to move away from his mother. She's awful.

Spoilers:

Melody springs on Emmett that she can't help him pay for his $5000 fine and he can't ask his dad for it either. In order to pay the fine, she suggests that he sell his beloved motorcycle. Bay is upset because she believes that it's her fault and Daphne can't let him sell something so important to him. Together, they try to come up with the money to help their friend. Daphne tries selling 5 dollar cupcakes but that really isn't cutting it. Daphne gets another unpleasant surprise when Wilke doesn't want to be her friend anymore. He likes you girl!

Smash has been hyped as the best new show of 2012. With a star studded cast including Jack Davenport, Anjelica Houston, and Debra Messing, it seems like it has all the necessary qualities to succeed. We viewed the pilot episode early on without any idea of what to expect. All I knew about the show was the cast and the inevitable comparisons to Glee. So what did we think?

Spoilers: Plus watch the pilot episode here:

Tonight begins Nick Jonas' run as J. Pierrepont Finch in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. As Jonas Brothers fans who love Broadway, it's amazing to see Nick return to his theater roots in such an incredible role. Anyone who gets to attend his opening show tonight should consider themselves very lucky (especially because the whole Jonas clan will be in attendance! Ahh!) Check out the video below to watch footage from his final rehearsal and to hear what he's got to say about taking on Broadway:

Evanescence premiered their new music video for their single My Heart Is Broken. I really, really love this song. It blends their rock sound with a more commercial sound that could be appealing to radio. That being said, the video is kind of a disappointment. It just looks like she's playing with sparklers in a field somewhere with no story and point. What do you think?

After 17 great years playing for the New York Yankees, Jorge Posada announced his retirement this morning following a press conference at Yankee Stadium. His decision came after fans wondered if Jorge would play for another team when his contract was up. An emotional Jorge told a packed room of reporters, family, friends, and teammates that he could never play for another team.

“I could never wear another uniform,” said Posada. “Being a part of seven World Series and having five rings was something I never imagined, and being a part [of] it was just priceless. I will forever be a Yankee.”

Check out the video of his announcement:

While everyone is gearing up for next week's Michael Jackson themed episode of Glee, new song spoilers have already hit the web for episode 3x12. This sounds like a pretty...interesting list of songs. It should be fun to see how they'll be arranged and who will sing what. Check it out below:

We kind of love that Caleb is working with the girls against A but it can't be good that they're hiding it from Hanna. After seeing the promos for next week's episode of Pretty Little Liars: A Kiss Before Lying, we're worried about how badly the group of friends will be separated once Hanna discovers what they're hiding. Here are the promos for next week's episode. Don't forget to check out our recap of tonight's episode here.

Spoilers:

Pretty Little Liars fans who love the mystery will love this episode. Pretty Little Liars fans who love the relationships..well..you may be a little frustrated right now. But at least one couple stopped traffic. This episode started off great and dove right in to the mystery. The girls go over the latest of the video that Caleb was able to uncover from A's phone. So far, they have video of Ian (yay Ryan Merriman is back!) setting up a hidden camera in Ali's room. Before you groan at how gross he is, that's not what he's up to this time.

Kevin Mchale appeared on Live! With Kelly this morning to promote this season of Glee. Kim Kardashian was the co-host and seemed to really love Glee, Kevin, and his stripes. Kevin is sly about confirming the rumors of him getting out of his wheelchair to dance on an upcoming episode of Glee (hint: They're true!) and spoke about his time in Brazil celebrating New Years.

Video:

What a great look into David Archuleta's time in Asia the past couple of weeks. As fans know, David will be appearing in a miniseries in the Philippines. Before fans can enjoy that, this great video shows David doing promos, taking photoshoots, and..is he recording new music?

Last night FOX aired a special of the San Diego auditions of American Idol Season 11. Our favorite by far of the night has got to be Kyle Crews. He walked in a frat guy and blew us and the judges away. We were just not expecting that fantastic voice. Definitely one of the best we've heard in awhile. The look on his face when the judges tell him he's the best male voice they've heard so far says it all.

Check out video of Kyle auditioning with Angel of Mine:

Spoilers for American Idol's Top 24 have leaked before the auditions have even finished airing. Thanks to The Idol Pad, we have some Top 24 spoilers for American Idol Season 11. Be sure to check their tag #IdolSpoilers throughout the night. Did your favorites make the cut?

SPOILERS:

David and Mary are still struggling with their feelings for each other. Neither wants to admit it to the other but their love is eternal. Mary goes to the diner at 7:15 every morning no matter what because she knows that David is always there at that time. Little does she know, that's the only reason he goes there. Unfortunately for her, her hopes just got shoved way back down to the ground. While in the store shopping for jumbo Apollo bars, she bumps into David's wife and her new pregnancy test.

Here are a handful of sneak peeks at Monday's new episode of Pretty Little Liars: The Blonde Leading The Blind. Is that some kind of metaphor for Alison and Jenna? And is Toby really in danger? Caleb looks like he's getting too curious for his own good. How high can that scaffolding be? Place your bets people!

Spoiler Videos:

Sad news for Person of Interest fans. The honeymoon is over and there is trouble in paradise. The Bromance! :(. Reese and Carter finally meet face to face for a pleasant cup of coffee in a diner somewhere. I'm enjoying the way they're working off of each other. Subtle smiles and aggravation. Just like any good relationship.

We recently had the honor of interviewing MTV Challenge veteran Mark Long. Fans will remember Mark made his debut on MTV's Road Rules and continued to prove himself as one of the best competitors seen on The Challenge. We spoke to Mark about what inspired him to come out of retirement for the new season, who he'd like to see back on the show, what's next for him, and yes, punching the bus.

"I've come back to this show to be the oldest, the best in shape, and with the coolest haircut."

Check it out!

Like the rest of the world, we've been obsessing over One Direction! What's not to love about sharp dressed British cuties that sing incredibly catchy songs?! They got their start on season 7 of the UK's X-Factor and have been teen sensations ever since. Their first single "What Makes You Beautiful" immediately became a hit and one that we still can't take off repeat! Yes we're officially hooked! You can catch them on the road this February and March when they open for Big Time Rush on the 'Better With U' tour. Recently, the guys released the music video to their song "One Thing" which shows them being all sorts of adorable while traveling around England and hanging out with the fans. Since we can't get this song out of our heads, we're making One Direction our hot band alert for the week! Check out the "One Thing" music video below:

If you're from Jersey, there's a good chance you grew up with the Bamboozle Festival. Well, it's that time of the year again. The first 60 bands playing the three day music festival have been announced. Since it's Bamboozle's 10 year anniversary, the lineup is bigger and crazier than ever! This includes some of our favorite musicians such as Bon Jovi, Blink 182, He Is We, Boys Like Girls, and Never Shout Never. Check out the flyer below to find out the daily roster for this year's Bamboozle Festival:

When best friends go on tour together, crazy antics are bound to occur. This is definitely the case for co-headliners The Summer Set and The Cab on the Everything's Fine Symphony Soldier tour. The bands had their first show in San Francisco last week and finish up in Baltimore on February 12th. Watch the video below to get an inside look at their first week on the road which includes a much needed trip to Disneyland! Brian, you are rocking that Disney Dales shirt!

On January 27th, Allstar Weekend's latest single "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" will be available for purchase on iTunes. Until then, you can get your first listen to it when you catch the guys on their "All The Way" tour this winter. This song mixes together some original Allstar Weekend music with the Whitney Houston classic. Watch the video below of the guys rocking out to the number at their Minneapolis show:

This episode was definitely one of the best of the season. I'm so happy that that is the case because I feel like there's a hiatus after every new episode. There was just something about this episode. It could have been the amazing performances. Or, it could have been all of the Artie scenes we were given and the 0 ones of Blaine. Maybe?

Following Emmett's arrest, things aren't going well for him. Or for Bay for that matter. Turns out he was arrested for painting the billboard for her. Melody blames Bay for the whole thing and tells her to just stay away from her son. Blech. She's horrible.

Finally! In a mystery that has gone on for three seasons..only not really because the original actors are still available..Glee has finally cast Rachel's celebrity dads. This is one casting decision that I am thrilled about.

Who is it?

Fans of MTV's The Challenge have been gifted with the first 15 minutes of the premiere episode of Battle of the Exes. In the clip, we're introduced to the new rules, the teams (made up of old relationships), and which teams want to kill each other. Sound fun?

Video:

Following the Golden Globes, some great tidbits on what fans can expect in season 5 have surfaced. Find out what's in store for characters such as Luna, Alcide, Jason, and new cast addition Chris Meloni. If you're afraid of spoilers, I definitely wouldn't click.

Spoilers:

More than one familiar face returns in Monday's new episode of Pretty Little Liars. There also looks to be some more screen time for the new hunk of the show Shane Coffey. We have both the ABC Family and Canadian promos here and..dare I say it..is Toby in danger? A really wants some revenge.

Video:

I guess it was only natural that after a few amazing episodes, Pretty Little Liars was destined to lose some steam. The girls are reeling after what happened on the lake. Fortunately for them, Lucas isn't dead or anything. In fact, he's basically a runaway at this point because he's calling his parents to let him know he's okay. Hannah is reluctant to tell Caleb the truth about why she doesn't really care to find Lucas.

This week focuses on Hansel and Gretel. Before I get very far into the episode, I notice in the opening credits that Nicholas Lea is guest starring so automatically I know I'm going to enjoy this one. I have a weird crush on him. But I digress.

I am way too excited for this. James Caan will be joining his son Scott Caan in a guest starring spot on Hawaii Five-0. According to a tweet by CBS, his appearance will come sometime in February. I wonder who he'll be playing. It'd be kind of awesome if he was playing Danno's dad.

Video of the cast of Glee performing Moves Like Jagger has leaked. I was really looking forward to this performance. Don't get me wrong. Kevin Mchale still slays as always and Harry Shum Jr. dances amazingly. There's just something specific about this performance that's ruining it for me. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's Schue twirling around the stage like a ballerina in his Justin Timberlake tank top. It could be that.

Video:

The cast of Person of Interest were unable to accept their award for Best New Tv Drama at the People's Choice Awards because the show films in New York. They are still incredibly grateful and made this nice little video for fans to thank them for the award. Looks like the award inspired more fans to tune in because last night's episode hit a series high in the ratings with 14.7 million viewers!

Video:

Fans of MTV's The Challenge (the ones with taste anyway) know that Coral Smith is one of the baddest, kick ass challengers the show has ever had. Since The Gauntlet 3, Coral hasn't appeared on a challenge. In this new interview with MTV, Coral chats about what she's been up to and the possibility of her returning to a challenge to beat bitches up. Make sure to follow her on twitter!

Fans of Pretty Little Liars are well aware that the identity of A will finally be revealed in the season finale. Or one of them anyway. The cast of the show talk about how they reacted when they got together to read the script for the finale. "Everyone's jaw was on the floor." They also reveal that it's not who it is in the books. Who do you think it is?

Spoilers:

Four more songs from the Yes/No episode of Glee have leaked! Here you can listen to the full versions of Summer Nights, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, We Found Love, and Wedding Bell Blues.

Listen:

Updated to add Moves Like Jagger and Without You!

From March to May, the Canadian crooner will take his Crazy Love Tour to countries such as Mexico, Chile, Denmark, South Africa, and Poland. Two Brazilian dates were just added to the mix as well so check out the full list of tour dates below:

The winner of Best New TV Drama is finally back tonight. Person of Interest returns with an amazing episode. In case you were wondering, the Bromance is also back in full force. The episode takes place right where the last took off. Finch rushes Reese to an underground doctor to stitch him up no questions asked. He saves our boy and he's almost good as new. He just has to sit in a wheelchair. The plus side? Very attractive stubble. And Finch has to take care of him. It's adorable.

Glee returns January 17th and now fans can get a glimpse at the much anticipated episode here. The lucky Glee cast took a trip to the same school Grease was filmed and go to recreate one of its iconic performances. Check out this sneak peek of the cast performing Summer Nights in the upcoming episode Yes/No.

Video:

Person of Interest fans..the wait is over! The Best New Tv Drama (and winner of last night's People's Choice Award) returns tonight on CBS. Reese is obviously still alive but out of commission. Looks like it will be Finch's turn to get out there and kick some ass.
