The Wizards of Waverly Place Cast Reunite For Special

This past week, the Wizards of Waverly Place cast reunited to begin work on the one hour special slated to come out early next year. As avid Disney fans, we can't even begin to stress how excited we are about this project. Wizards of Waverly Place is such a classic. Thanks to David DeLuise, who plays Daddy Russo on the show, check out the picture above of the cast on set. The only person missing here is David Henrie. He's going to be sorely missed from this reunion movie. Are you excited for the Russo clan to get back together for one more adventure? Sound off below!

I have been waiting for this episode of Once Upon A Time since the show appeared at the San Diego Comic Con and it was announced Captain Hook would be a new featured character. I expected him to be a hairier version of Elizabeth Swan's father in Pirates of the Caribbean. But oh no. He looks like this. And right away I know this is going to be a good episode.

Major Pretty Little Liars Spoiler: Did Chad Lowe Let Slip Who Dies?

Okay so first of all, let's file this under SPOILERS and then make a note that this is all speculation and may not be true. In a recent interview, Chad Lowe was asked how much he knows ahead of time and he let slip that he's asked the writers "Who killed...?" What followed was not the name of a death we've already seen on the show. And is he talking about the Halloween episode or something coming up? It was a name on that list ABC Family released for fans to guess who'll die.

Immediately fans began to wonder if that was a major slip up or just a random name he threw out without realizing what he said. Personally, I don't know what to think. In watching the video he says it very fast and doesn't seem to realize what he's done. If he actually did spoil something, I feel like he'd react more.

Be that as it may, check out under the cut to see who may or may not bite the dust this season.

Obvious possible spoiler alert:

The upcoming new episode of Once Upon A Time will feature Captain Hook who, for me, is my most anticipated new character so far. Again I say, if Captain Hook always looked like that, I would have watched a lot more of Peter Pan. Then I remember he's a villain. One of the biggest in all the fairy tales and I wonder how the fans will feel about him. By the looks of these sneak peeks, there are going to be a lot of mixed emotions.

Check out these sneak peek videos of the upcoming new episode: The Crocodile.

Watch:

Here it is. The last webisode of the Pretty Little Liars spin-off web series Pretty Dirty Secrets. The final short clip entitled The A Train is really just a set up for next week's Halloween episode. A is in their signature hoodie going over maps and floor plans, seemingly planning whatever mischief they have up their sleeves for the haunted train ride.

Remember to watch the special Halloween episode of Pretty Little Liars airing Tuesday, October 23rd at 8pm on ABC Family.

Who went home on this episode of The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons? With the episode carrying over from last week, two teams are eliminated.

Some more casting news for fans of the hit CBS drama Hawaii Five-0. Star Trek star George Takei is set to guest star on an upcoming episode of season 3 as Chin's uncle.

How are you guys feeling about this season of the show?

This morning I had only a vague idea that Tyler Blackburn from Pretty Little Liars was working on music. Then I watched his new music video for Hard To Forget with Anabel Englund. Holy crap. I had no idea that voice was hiding in there. He has an amazing voice. The song itself is fantastic and his duet with Anabel is beautiful. I really love it. A lot more than I thought I would. All of you should definitely check it out. They both sound so, so good. I know you'll love it too.

Watch the music video for "Hard To Forget" here:

It's a shame Glee won't have a Halloween episode this year. Now that Bette Midler is set to guest star on an upcoming episode, a Hocus Pocus joke would be amazing. Ryan Murphy is still mulling over who she'll be playing but Bette herself has suggested a possible cameo as Rachel's grandma.

What do you guys think? Who should she play?

Kelly Clarkson is all set to release her album Greatest Hits - Chapter One! Along with a brand new single, Catch My Breath, Kelly has compiled her favorite hits for the album. Everything from Miss Independent to Since U Been Gone. Fans can pick up the album November 19th!

Check out the full tracklist for the album here:

Many of our readers will recognize Ryan Lane for his recent appearances as Travis on ABC Family's hit drama Switched at Birth. After overcoming obstacles like being diagnosed with congenital nerve deafness and serious injuries following a dirt bike accident, Ryan is an inspiration. We recently got the chance to chat with Ryan about his role on Switched at Birth and what's coming up for his character this season.

Check out the interview here:

I am so ready for this episode. If Captain Hook always looked like that, had an accent, and wore a lot of eyeliner, I totally would have watched Peter Pan more often as a child.

Are you ready to see how he became one of the greatest villains of all time? Check out the preview promo for next week's new episode of Once Upon A Time: The Crocodile.

This episode was a bit of filler. Not bad, just not very exciting. All that looks to change next week. But first, here's our recap of Once Upon A Time: The Lady of the Lake.

A Quest:

Uhoh. It looks like the grim reaper, yet again, is making his way to Rosewood. Major Spoiler alert here but it's been confirmed that another character will die in the upcoming Halloween special "This is a Dark Ride." ABC Family released a photo of 13 cast members, one of which will be killed off. It's up to you guys to guess.

Check out the possibilities here:

Oh. My. God. In a move that can only be described as giving the fans, or me, what they want (because, no shame, I had a huge crush on him when he was on LOST) Jonathan Nolan announced today at New York Comic Con that Mark Pellegrino will be guest starring in an upcoming episode of Person of Interest. Michael Emerson, Amy Acker, Kevin Chapman, Taraji P. Henson, and Jim Caviezel were all present at the panel today.

He'll be playing a charming head of a publishing empire. Charming and in a suit? I am favorable.

I am obviously super excited about this LOST reunion. I hope he has some scenes with Michael Emerson. First Miles and now Jacob. Who else would you like to see appear on the show? Are you excited about this casting choice?

Beauty And A Beat - Justin Bieber

Earlier this week, Justin Bieber made headlines when he reported that his laptop containing "personal footage" had been stolen after the Tacoma stop on the Believe tour. Bieber even began tweeting the thief, who claimed he would leak a damaging video he found on the laptop at noon today. Turns out this was all an elaborate hoax to premiere the music video for "Beauty And A Beat", set up by none other than the Biebs himself. How clever! We love this video! Bieber even wrote, shot, and directed himself at the water park for it, which features Nicki Minaj. Check it out below:

Kelly Clarkson has a new song out and we are loving it! Catch My Breath shows off her great vocals and she sounds beautiful on it. The song was co-written by Kelly and her musical director Jason Halbert. Kelly debuted the song this morning with Ryan Seacrest and it will be one of three new songs off her Greatest Hits album due out November 19th.

Listen to the song here:

What do you guys think?

The beautiful Christina Applegate will be hosting the upcoming new episode of Saturday Night Live with musical guest Passion Pit.

Check out the video here:

P!nk just released a music video for her new single Try. She looks and sounds amazing in this video and the song is sure to be another hit for her. If you actually need another reason to watch, there's a shirtless guy throughout. What do you think of the music video?

The nominations for the 2012 American Music Awards were announced today and it looks like it'll be a tough competition!

Is anyone missing Pretty Little Liars as much as we are? Even though the second half of season three won't start til January, thankfully we have that Halloween episode to look forward to. The episode titled "This is a Dark Side" will air on October 23rd. Adam Lambert will guest star as himself in it. Will you tune in? Will "This is a Dark Side" be as spooky as the Halloween episode last year? Well, we'll find out in a few weeks. For now though, check out this sneak peek below from "This is a Dark Side" featuring Lucy Hale and Lambert:

The town of Storybrooke is a mess cleaning up after the damage from last week's wraith. Picking up the pieces of what's left of their former lives, the town turns to Charming for guidance on what to do next. Why can't they go home? Do they need to be afraid of Regina? Of course they do. And a new discovery leaves them all terrified.

Recap of Once Upon A Time, We Are Both:

Alright Once Upon A Time fans. Are you ready for Lancelot? How about some ogres? And best of all: more Jefferson. Easily one of my favorite characters on the show, I can't wait to see him, hopefully, reunite with his daughter.

Check out the preview promo for next week's new episode, Lady of the Lake, airing Sunday October 14th on ABC.

It's that time of the year again. The seasons are changing, the air is getting crisp, and Halloween is approaching. Before you know it, Christmas will be here. Glee will be tackling a new batch of holiday classics for their upcoming Christmas episode. Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album Volume 3 will be released December 4th. The tracklist features both classics and pop favorites although, we're sad to report, an appearance by NSYNC's classic Christmas song Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays still hasn't happened.

Check out the tracklist here:

Daniel Craig hosted last night's new episode of Saturday Night Live. I've been reading some reviews and while some of them seemed to think it was a dud overall, I actually enjoyed it. Daniel did a great job with the material he was given. Sometimes, the laughs just aren't there. But there were definitely some hilarious stand out moments for me.

Of course, there was coverage of the presidential debate but the episode featured a surprise appearance from everyone's favorite 8 foot tall yellow bird: Big Bird!

Watch our favorite video clips from the episode here:

Like the rest of the world, Glee left us completely broken-hearted after Thursday night's episode. How do you possibly say goodbye to your favorite television couple who you've been rooting for since season one premiered? Yes, we're talking about Finn and Rachel, who are better known to Gleeks as Finchel. Sigh. While that's our favorite on-screen duo, they weren't the only couple we had to say farewell to. Klaine (Kurt and Blaine) and Brittana (Brittany and Santana) were also among those ending their relationships. Nothing was more heart wrenching though than the final number of the episode. All the couples, including Will and Emma, sang Coldplay's hit "The Scientist". That song perfectly fits the emotion that the pairs (and the audience) were feeling. And those flashbacks from the couples' pivotal moments? The perfect touch. Check out the group number of "The Scientist" below:

After tonight's emotional episode of Glee, the show is going on a short hiatus. This is probably for the best since fans will now have a month to adjust to so many beloved couples breaking up. Sigh. When Glee starts up again on November 8, it looks like we'll be introduced to the character of Ryder Lynn, played by The Glee Project's winner Blake Jenner. We'll also be seeing some more of McKinley's graduating class stopping by the choir room. We can't wait. Check out this preview for episode five below:

Say hello to your new Glee heartthrob. Nolan Gerard Funk will be joining the show in the seventh episode of this season as the new leader of the Warblers. Grant Gustin is also said to be in the episode as well. Passing the torch?

You may recognize Nolan from his lead role in the Nickelodeon musical Spectacular!. If you want to get to know the latest addition to Glee, check out these videos we've compiled of the singer. He opened for David Archuleta back in 2009 and won the crowd over immediately. He can definitely perform well. He'll make a great addition to the show.

Looks like it's getting heated behind the scenes on the set of American Idol. Video leaked of Nicki Minaj yelling and cursing at producers and not wanting to put up with Mariah Carey. Mariah joins in the argument while Keith Urban sits there in the middle looking like he hates his life.

I don't think it's surprising that this is happening but it could also be a PR stunt to get people to watch. I'm thinking the fight is real but it was leaked on purpose. What do you think? Team Nicki or Team Mariah?

Watch the video here:

Uhoh Klaine fans. This doesn't look too good. In this image of an upcoming Glee script, an "anguished" Blaine is revealed to be seriously regretting an incident with another guy. The fact he's sitting on a rumpled bed after what I assume is a Facebook/Myspace/Grindr hook up, you can assume the rest for yourself.

Check out a larger version of the script after the cut. Is this the end of Klaine?

Yesterday, Lea Michele stopped by Ellen to not only talk about Glee, but to participate in a little game Ellen likes to call " How Well Does Lea Michele Love Reality TV?" (Sidenote: Ellen should really patent that title or at least develop some kind of custom web design with it. It's catchy!) Based on Michele's tweets alone, you would think she'd ace this test, but guess again. The worst part is every time she answers incorrectly, an audience member gets some sort of messy substance thrown at her. How would you fare against Michele on questions about shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and My Strange Addiction? Oh well Michele is absolutely adorable and to be fair to her, those questions were insanely hard. Watch Michele play "How Well Does Lea Michele Love Reality TV?" below:
