The Vampire Diaries- Season 4 Spoilers

As October is approaching (slowly), rumors of the upcoming Vampire Diaries season are on the rise. The first episode of season 4, Growing Pains, will premiere on October 11 and many are wondering whats going to be happening with Meredith's character.

"Meredith in the beginning is just trying to keep her head above water, realizing that she's found herself dropped into this supernatural world she never really meant to get involved with," said executive producer Julie Plec. She told TV Line that we will in fact be seeing a bit of Meredith in the beginning of the season. "She has a choice to make: Does she want to dive in head first and embrace it? Or does she want to pull back and say, 'Hey you know what? Why don't you guys leave me out of it.' 


Damon will continue on his journey of attitudes. According to Plec he will return to that Damon we met in season one. "You don't like me. You want to judge me. You don't like who I am, how I do things? Well, screw you.' said Plec of Damon's attitude. In past season he tried changing to gain Elena's love and it backfired so he is just putting that to rest and doing what he does best, being Damon. We love it! 

In other spoiler news, the focus will be on Elena accepting her transition into a vampire with her loving friends, whom all have been through the process before. Stefan will give her a ring. No, not that kind of ring!!! She gets her very first let me walk in the sunlight ring, ahem daylight ring. This season proves to be mighty interesting as we finally see what kind of vampire Elena could be. Hopefully she start making some more concrete decisions and stops being so weak and annoying. Yes, I said it. 





Fifty Shades of Grey Classical Album



The "50 shades" Phenomenon 
The “Fifty Shades” trilogy has sold over 31 million copies worldwide. The book has become so popular that teen girls, mothers and wives are all being caught reading it, and enjoying it too, sometimes even a little too much. Every woman is fantasizing about her very own Christian Grey, which may say either good or bad things about or society. The idea of the dom and sub relationship from Greys persepctive is in my opinion disgusting and degrading for women. How the relationship turns into kinky ** ahem later on when they fall in love, well that, that’s something that has definitely made women more sexually open and experimental, if you will. There’s absolutely nothing to be shy about. As this trilogy made men think that women are just reading the shit out of porn, I must advise you that there was a deeper meaning to the “porn” we read. There is a twisted love story, a reason for this gorgeous man to be the way he is and yes, the kinkiness is thrilling okay!!! There is passion, adventure, romance, sex, and a future. That’s what women want; to change the bad boy that no other women could change, but be changed by him in the process.
  Anyways, while there have been speculations as to who will be cast as Christian and Anastasia Grey, the author E.L James has said that it is a bit too early for a movie. After reading the first book I was very anti Ian Somerhalder being Christian Grey, but now that I’ve finished “50 shades freed” I could definitely see it happening. Those eyes, that mouth, those suavamente moves, the way he looks in that suit. Yep, it’s Ian. Although its closely tied with Matt Bomer, who fits the description perfectly. Lets face it dolls, the guy will not be a copper haired boy. I’m still rather unsure of who should be cast as Ana. Speculations of Lucy Hale have been afloat, but aside from her big gorgeous eyes, I just don’t see it. I can see it being Alexis Bledel, Emmy Rossum, Elizabeth Olsen, or Emma Watson. In the meantime though, E.L James has found a different way to keep the hype afloat.

EMI Music, along with E.L James, is releasing a 15-track collection of classical pieces that inspired the author to write the book. The tracks can have also been mentioned in all three books, usually in an intimate scene with floggers, handcuffs and well, you can imagine the rest, are involved.  The album will be available for download on ITunes and Amazon September 11, but pre-orders have been skyrocketing through the roof. For those who have not finished reading the trilogies just yet, this classical album will definitely heighten the experience.  If you know what I mean.


Aside from the soundtrack, the “Fifty Shades” phenomenon seems to be taking over the world. Rumor has it that E.L James is starting her own Fifty Shades clothing line, complete with stockings, garters and robes. As Christian Grey becomes a household name and his 50 shades personality becomes desired by every woman in the world, designers are creating Grey and Steele inspired outfits for their upcoming fall releases. Some companies are going as far as connecting the real world with the entertainment world and creating “50 shades of Gray” bath and home décor. It’s safe to say that if you haven’t been sucked into the mainstream phenomenon yet, or haven’t heard about it, you must live under a rock.  I don’t know if this obsession about making dom and sub inspired clothing and home furniture is a good thing, but it clearly says a lot about our society. Marketers are smart because they found something that people love and are making money out of it, but it makes me really question the rest of the people in the world. Sure, a little kink and a little play here and there are fine, but turning your kitchen into some 50 shades of gray stuff, I don’t know about all of that. 



Partners CBS this Fall

"Its what happens when your best friend meets your boyfriend, and your boyfriend meets your longest guy friend."

Fall is all about our beloved shows coming back from hiatus, and new shows making their grand appearance. Sophia Bush departed last season as One Tree Hill came to an end, but she could not keep away from our prime time T.V for long. CBS is airing its new comedy from directors Mat Mutchnik and David Kohan, creators of Will and Grace. The pilot has started filming and looks to be rather promising. The show follows two best friends, one whom is straight and one whom is gay. They have turned their friendship into an architectural business, but relationships get in the way. Its really about 4 best friends, and 2 relationships. I am a little skeptical about a show like this. I love me some good comedy and definitely want to see Sophia Bush in a funny, more light hearted role, but at the same time a show thats filmed in front of a live audience could mean cheesiness. It could either go down the wrong path or become a hit like Friends and Will and Grace. From the previews, posted below, Louis looks like an even more hyper replica of Jack. Love it! Fingers crossed. The show will air on Mondays at 8:30 p.m on CBS. Is this something your going to be tuning into to watch or is it more of a DVR type thing???

Pretty Little Liars- Single Fright Female

Be careful who you spend your time with Emily. Be very careful, Jenna warned. Who knew Jenna might actually have a point? This week's episode took us on yet another turn, foreshadowing a whole lot of nothing. As we are left to make our own assumptions, we must think; is Paige A? The ending also let us drown in our thoughts as we know, there are actually 2 A's. Could this be the "A team"? I have thought about it long and hard and figured that the odds are not in her favor. First off, its always those quiet and shy ones that get you. She seems just like the type that would have a secret plan devised. See Mona and Lucas. Those two were just as suspicious and look, Mona ended up in the psych ward and Lucas, well who knows. It makes all the sense in the world. She has access to Emily's room, Emily's flask, the school functions and events. She has been everywhere without being noticed. She even mentioned to Emily that she really hated Alison. When she was going on and on sobbing about how alone and hurt she was, I couldn't help but realize that her statement about wanting to hurt herself, but not doing it because than Ali would win and she couldn't let her, was not something to feel sorry for her about. She didn't hurt herself because she hurt Ali! She ended up "winning." Also, her obsession with Emily is a little weird. Yeah, she has a reputation. She tried to drown Em. But she was also jealous as hell of Maya. Oddly enough, A has a vengeance against all the other girls and keeps them away from their boyfriends, but never in such a threatening way. Maya was killed. Anyone think of that crazy love type stuff, if I can't have you no one will?? Did you see how pleased she was with herself after she had Emily ditching her friends and eating out of the palm of her hand?? And how she declined Spencer. This has to be her plan all along. To break up the liars. She was with Emily that night, and now she has the second earring that Aria placed in Ali's coffin. Whats up with that?
I haven't quite figured out how Jenna knows so much, but than again she did pretend to be blind for such a long time that she probably saw a lot more than anyone else did. People don't really try to hide and pretend in front of someone thats blind. But what does she know? This leads me to Nate. I have this feeling that Nate is not really there because he misses Maya. He was trying so badly to get Emily to leave with him. He's suffocating to say the least. Than his reaction to Jenna and his comment about "I know you saw me." Saw him where? Saw him when? Could it possibly be a reference to the night Maya was kidnapped from Noel Kahn's cabin?? That's the problem with this show, too many people keep secrets and speak in some crazy codes. 
Which brings me to victim number 3, Cece. I personally don't think that she has any bad intentions, but than you never know one minute everything and everyone is peachy the next minute a layer of skin is stripped and a whole new person comes out. Is she really who she claims to be. She was more than happy to shine the light on Paige. Is she just trying to divert the attention from her. The snake was found in her boxes. But it seems unlikely because from my understanding, Paige was listening in the school when Spence called her a snake. Coincidentally she got attacked by one. Like I said, it might just be Cece knowing that Spencer will assume its Paige and planting the rest of the evidence in her bag. Yet, this hunch tells me that Cece is innocent and only a guiding light in providing information to the liars that Ali never had a chance of telling them. 
The thing with these girls is that they trust to easily. You would think that after being tortured by A for so long they wouldn't be so eager to tell everybody everything. Like Aria for example. Finding Maggie seemed to be really quite easy for her. Although Spencer warned her, (and clearly everyone on the show should listen to Spencer) that meddling into Ezra's business and finding his ex would be bad, she did it anyways. Now we find out that Ezra is actually a father. Do the math, we don't need tests to prove it. So who does she tell? Not Spencer. Not Emily. Not Hannah, but Ezra's brother!!! Really!!! Have we not seen what his family is capable of? Just look at the mother! Why is this storyline even taking place? Will it be a breaking point for their relationship? I mean if you think about it, Aria is only like 16. The kid is practically 7. That's some messed up stuff. Has Ezra never gotten over Maggie? When he finds out there is a kid I'm sure he's going to want to be a part of his life. Oh god, this is just going to be a hot mess. Why are they introducing such a hot storyline an episode before the finale!?!?!? 
I'm going to conclude my rant racking your brains a bit. Why is the chip from the day Ian died finally making an appearance. We thought Ian had it, but clearly no one did. So what does it mean now? Did the pastor see it? Did he make a copy? Did he turn it into Wilden? See, I don't trust anyone on this show. It pains me to say but not even Caleb is on my trustworthy list. I mean there was just a snake in that dressing room. How did he get it? Also, next weeks episode "The BetrAyal" spoiler photo, shows a sad and vulnerable Hannah. Does this mean something happens to Caleb? Mona gets out? Her mom is arrested? Someone betrays her? Do we ever find out who A is? Who is betraying everyone? Is one of the liars evil? Where is Jason? Are Ali and Maya dead? Yeah. You think my friends! Till next week!

Pretty Little Liars- What Lies Beneath

A revelation of the night Maya died, through surveillance camera is what lies beneath!
With many characters having an alibi for the night Maya was murdered, it becomes harder to figure out who A is. At the time Maya was murdered, Garett was getting arrested at the Hasting's house. This means that he didn't kill Maya, neither did Spencer, Aria, Hannah, Emily, or Melissa. After today, we realize that Noel and Jenna also didn't kill Maya. They entered the cabin house and right after Maya was seen sneaking out and getting kidnapped. This leads me to believe, that as suspicious as Jenna and Noel Kahn are, they are also being tormented by A. They aren't against the liars, they are scared of the same thing. This leaves a lot of others with no alibi though. Where was Toby or Caleb at that precise moment? As well as Lucas, Ezra, and most importantly Paige. After watching today's episode, I have seen a new character in Paige, that almost had me convinced she was A. I guess we must wait two more weeks to see who betrays us all.
A seems to be very familiar with the Kahn residence though. As Emily and Hannah found the bravery and went to snoop around the cabin, they were locked in by A, who left them a creepy message. "I'm saving you for last." What does that even mean?? Is A's agenda to kill off everyone until he kills the liars?? Who could be so determined and evil?? And why is Noel Kahn actually helping Spencer? He seems to be trying to avoid and scare her off and after he caught her snooping around he sends her a piece of evidence that is exactly what they were looking for. Sure it gets Noel and Jenna off the suspicion list but why???

It seems that although so much is going on in Rosewood, no one (besides Hannah) can keep their lips to themselves. Aria's mother has taken on a whole new personality after she became "serious" with her much younger and very sexy boyfriend. It is a nice change to see her get wooed, instead of depressed because her husband is an asshole. Emily seems to be a little confused as she is seen making out with Maya's cousin (a boy) and contemplating actually liking it. Although she doesn't know Paige saw this happen, there is definitely trouble in paradise ahead. I don't know how I would feel making out with my dead ex's cousin. Plus, he's really suspicious and I don't think trustworthy at all. Hannah stays strong fighting off Ren after he has helped her bleeding wound, but that sexual tension is definitely in the room. You love Caleb remember hunny! And all thing relationship, Aria and Ezra are not doing so well. While Aria decided to stay mad that Ezra did not tell her about his past, he has begun to distance himself. When she questioned if he ever tried finding Maggie he said that it was impossible. So conveniently he ended up finding her at the end of the episode. This clearly means more trouble. Maggie was a girlfriend he never stopped having feelings for. If he calls her up again, she might just interfere and push Aria to the side. 

Lastly, where did Maya want to meet Emily the night she died and what did she want to show her? Clearly, from the footage Maya was being haunted by someone as she keeps looking around very paranoid. She also mentioned that someone took her phone. Someone knew where she was staying and they made sure she never got out of Rosewood. But who? What did Maya know that got her killed? What is this A game!?!? Everytime we begin to think that we have another clue to a potential A, they turn out to be someone who is just as afraid of A as the liars.

Pretty Little Liars- The Kahn Game

Truth or dare, I pick dare cause no one really tells the truth around here. People have to many secrets to hide in this show and each question could be answered with another questions. That's exactly what this  weeks episode did-- it raised enough questions to keep fans busy till next week. Sadly, it seems that the only person without an actual storyline is Emily. It seems like even A gave up on trying to screw with her. My predictions for the following episodes is that the liars along with all their boyfriends will form an anti-A army. Caleb and Toby seem to be getting hot on the A trail, so its just a matter of time before Ren and Ezra jump on as well. But lets not waste any more time. Let's talk about some of the key points in this episode.

First off, Caleb isn't A! Stupid promo's that always mislead us into thinking something is going to happen when it really isn't. Instead, Caleb has figured out that the reason Hannah has been acting so weird is because although Mona is locked up, there is still someone torturing her. Even though she wants to protect him from the dangers of A, he want's to help put an end to this once and for all. I just don't think Caleb has ever really realized how messed up the A problem really is. A is trying really hard to frame Hannah and put her behind bars, but why?? With the spoiler promo's indicating that one person will betray them all in the finale on August 28, I can't help but get a gut feeling that it will be Caleb. He knows his way around computers, can crack codes and break firewalls. He had the ability to send a text as A and actually sound convincing. I might be wrong but if its not Cici, than Caleb is definitely a target. 

I must also admit that I love Aria and Spencer as a team. Go Sparia!!!! As both of them go through relationship problems, Spencer realizes that while she was caught up in this whole web of mysteries, she forgot to apply to college. Enter Cici who conveniently goes to U-Penn and has connections to the administrations office. I would never trust that girl with my resume, and I would never be left alone at a party with her. She is definitely up to something. Anyways, going to that party Aria and Spence stumbled upon a clue that could fit together a lot of missing pieces. The party that Maya was seen at and the one that Holden attended was actually held at Noel Kahn's brother's house. Why those two would have any business at a college party beats me, but all roads lead back to Noel being A! There was also a time in past episodes when Maya was talking to Noel and Emily questioned it. Also, Maya did say when she went away she met a guy. Could all of this be little pieces that could answer a whole lot of questions? What about the website that Mona gave the liars? What role does that play in anything? 


As if the party wasn't a revelation enough,  Noel and Jenna (who are back together again) appeared at the party where they squared off against Aria and Spence in a game of truth and dare. Literally the most intense q+a match i've ever seen. And although not many questions seemed to get answered, we have confirmed that Jenna and Noel were with drunken Emily the night of the party. We also can confirm that Jenna knows where they found Emily that night in the graveyard... (and how would she know that). It seems that Jenna is actually in the loop about a lot of things regarding the liars, making it all the more suspicious. It was also great seeing Jenna feel awkward about being in the same room with Cici after she chewed her out on the phone. Classic.


On to the next shocker in tonights episode, pretty boy Ezra got a girl pregnant when he was 18. Taking it back to before we knew that, enter Wes, Ezra's sneaky little brother. Not sure if we can trust him yet (but than again who can we trust on this show??).  All we know is that he helped Aria when she was in need and mentioned Maggie, which he may or may not have done out of cruelty. Either way, this family is on a whole other level of screwed up. Aria is starting to realize that she didn't actually know anything about Ezra's life. But after finding out that his mother paid off Ezra's pregnant girlfriend and included terms stating that she would never see him again doesn't make it hard to believe that she wanted to pay Aria to break up with her son. The question now becomes did Maggie have an abortion??? Or are we going to be introduced to a little boy or girl that is Ezra's son. Aria hasn't even gotten to college so this could really be a tie-breaker for the too cute for words couple. That would really be the test of their love for each other.  My next question becomes, why are the writers and directors introducing this storyline to us a couple of episodes before the summer finale? Is this really relevant to finding out who A is?? Will it have some kind of impact to further along that storyline? 




Who do you guys will be the one to betray them all? Do you think that Hannah kissing Ren will have any impact on her getting back together with Caleb? Will it affect her friendship with Spencer?? Has Spencer's mom proven that she will save Hannah or will we be seeing our blondie behind bars before the season is over? Do you believe that Spencer's application to U-Penn was just delivered with such little problems or will it have A written all over it? So much to find out and so little time. Oh the tangled web just keeps getting more and more complicated. I can't wait till next weeks episode. I feel like A's presence has been put on the back burner a little bit and it's definitely time to spice it up a bit!
