'Pretty Little Liars': To Kill a Mocking Girl

The latest episode opened with Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer taking a walk through the woods - dressed to the nines, of course (except for maybe Hanna, who was channeling “Flash Dance” with her off-the-shoulder sweatshirt).

The girls were looking for a shed (presumably the same one they set fire to before Alison’s disappearance) and they talked about their plans to make a shrine for Alison there (because what else is there to do when you’re receiving incriminating text messages about events only known to the deceased?).

But right in the midst of their ‘maybe we should build the shrine in town so everyone can see it’ debate, in comes another text: “Heads up BFFs. It’s open season on liars and I’m hunting. -A.”

Celebrity photographer: Lindsay's misunderstood

Indrani, part of the famed photography duo Markus Klinko and Indrani and star of Bravo's "Double Exposure," isn't the kind of woman who kisses and tells - at least not everything.

In an interview with Out magazine, the reality TV star neither confirmed nor denied her rumored relationship with Lindsay Lohan, but revealed just enough to keep us guessing.

It was reported back in May that Indrani, 36, had been dating 23-year-old Lohan after unnamed sources reportedly spotted the photographer on dates with Lohan in Los Angeles, according to the New York Post.

Jake & Vienna's split: He said, she said

For two people who said they'd appreciate privacy after their breakup, neither of them have been very private.

Both Jake Pavelka, 32, and Vienna Girardi, 24, are on nearly every celebrity weekly magazine cover, supposedly spilling details about where it all went wrong.

But it seems, just like with most break-ups, there isn’t a lot of consensus on why it ended, and each weekly is telling a slightly different story. Read on for who said what in which weekly.

La Toya reunites with Bubbles the chimp

After 20 years of estrangement, La Toya Jackson has reunited with her late brother's pet chimp for an emotional Animal Planet documentary, "Michael Jackson & Bubbles: The Untold Story."

Jackson, 54, is seen visiting the Center for Great Apes in Florida, which 27-year-old Bubbles - who toured with Michael and appeared in his music videos - has called home since 2004.

Though Michael had been to the sanctuary several times before his death last year, this was the first visit by any other Jackson family member, reports the Highlands Today newspaper.

Behind the Scenes on 'Showbiz Tonight': 'Jersey' guys surprised?

Jerry Seinfeld’s war with Lady Gaga has got the "Showbiz Tonight" staffers in a feud of our own.

Gaga wound up in Seinfeld's private V.I.P. box at a recent Mets game and he’s calling her “a jerk” for flipping the bird at fans and then getting upgraded. (Listen to Jerry here.)

Line Producer Jenn Gerardo took Seinfeld's side in the feud demanding that Gaga “make a public apology to him," while Producer Sid Lipsey argued that Gaga was just being Gaga. What do you think: Does Lady Gaga owe Seinfeld an apology, or is this a Seinfeld-style feud about nothing? You can let us know in today’s "Showbiz Tonight" poll.

Hate to love or love to hate 'Green Hornet' trailer?

After the trailer for “The Green Hornet” was released yesterday, movie fans tried to figure out what they didn’t like most: Seth Rogen being cast as the masked action hero, the fact that this story has been told a million times before, or that it'll be in 3-D.

Perhaps it’s just bad timing and moviegoers are suffering from superhero fatigue, but the plot of "extra-wealthy guy decides to put on a mask, get into his tricked-out car and go off and do good" hasn't impressed many, especially because the movie's first promotion doesn't reflect new takes on the story.

It clocks in at only two and a half minutes, but what is seen in the trailer has been called “generic” and alternately viewed as a knockoff “Kick-Ass," the wannabe “Iron Man," or an attempt at some cross between the two.

Twihard tent city erected in L.A.

A true Twihard knows that seeing “Eclipse” at midnight on the day it’s released after having a marathon session of the first two films in the saga just isn’t enough.

No, one has to travel to Los Angeles and camp out for days in Nokia Plaza for Thursday's premiere to really show “Twilight” devotion.

And so camp out they have. As CNN iReporter Julie Ellerton noted, people came from across the U.S. to pitch tents as early as Monday at 6 a.m. so they could get a prime R.Patz/K.Stew/T.Lautner viewing spot when the cast walks down the red carpet on June 24. So many have descended upon downtown L.A. that another iReporter, Justin Dickerson, mistook the hordes of campers for Lakers fans.

Jay-Z and Eminem take it to the skyline

Jay-Z and Eminem took to the New York City skyline Monday night to perform a three-song concert for David Letterman and a select group of fans.

The show was originally planned for the marquee at Letterman's Ed Sullivan Theater but was moved to the roof at the request of New York City authorities, placing the live set far away from the crowds it would have attracted at street level.

But, thankfully, fans who missed out can still see the pair perform on Friday's "Late Night with David Letterman," or when the duo heads out on their two-city tour in September.

Conan starts Twitter feud with Lance Armstrong

Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong proved he was a good sport when Conan O’Brien kicked off a hilarious Twitter feud yesterday by calling him boring.

Referring to the summer solstice, O’Brien wrote to his millions of followers, “Yesterday was the longest day of the year, unless you count the time I interviewed Lance Armstrong.”

But Armstrong, who promoted his book “Comeback 2.0: Up Close and Personal” on O’Brien’s “Tonight Show” last December, one-upped the late-night comic by tweeting back, “All you wanted to talk about was riding bikes and shaving your legs. It was, uh, slightly freaky.”
