Because no one was clamoring for it and everyone hated the final two seasons… Heroes is headed back to NBC! The network aired a promo for a miniseries event titled “Heroes Reborn” last night, saying in a press release that it will be comprised of 13 episodes and air in 2015. The reboot will tell a standalone story, be produced by creator Tim Kring and may or may not include characters from the original. Heroes Reboot Planned “The enormous impact Heroes had on the television landscape when it first launched in 2006 was eye-opening,” NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke said in announcing the project. “Shows with that kind of resonance don’t come around often and we thought it was time for another installment. “Until we get closer to air in 2015, the show will be appropriately shrouded in secrecy, but we won’t rule out the possibility of some of the show’s original cast members popping back in.” Other shows planning spinoffs include NCIS , Supernatural, How I Met Your Mother and Arrow . Tell us: are you excited for Heroes Reborn? Yes, can’t wait! Gosh no! HAHAHAHA View Poll »
Pretty Little Liars reminded viewers of its title this week, Yes, it’s called Pretty Little Liars for a reason, most notably because these pretty young girls lie to nearly everyone around them… including each other. We can start with Ali in “Love ShAck, Baby,” whose diary was “creative nonfiction with pseudonyms,” as Spencer rightly explained it. How could the girls decode this writing? By investigating the stories, of course, such as a poem about a bumblebee that lead them to The Busy Bee, a bed and breakfast where… Ali was hiding out? Not quite. On the way there, unfortunately, the car broke down, leading to the group taking shelter in Ezra’s cabin. Once there, someone actually swiped the silver diary while Hanna and Emily were outside and Spencer and Aria were in the linen closet. Come on, Liars! Didn’t you ever take Diary Re-Enactment 101? Never let the tome out of your sight. Emily, meanwhile, was visited by the author of the diary herself. Was that a dream about Ali? Did she actually visit Emily in the middle of the night. Hmmm… As for A? She thanked Aria and Emily for helping her (him? it?) find Alison. A is now on the bed and breakfast track and even caused their GPS to fail and the car to break down. Really, is there anything A cannot do? Elsewhere, Aria lied to Spencer about the note she left in Ezra’s desk, while Ezra lurked like nobody’s business. He actually made his way into the Marin household under the ruse of Hanna’s subpar schoolwork at one point, snooping around his student’s laptop. On the relationship front, Hanna made it seem like she’s cool with Caleb being in Ravenswood and with the break-up. She also tore a page out of the diary because it revealed she once hooked up with Mike. EEK! Final thoughts: Who the patient who witnessed Marion’s “accident?” Maybe Alison? CeCe Drake was spotted at a train station in Maryland and we learned she made many deposits prior to Wilden’s murder. Spencer goes to stay wit Toby after a fight with her dad. What did you think of this installment? Of where the season is headed? Watch Pretty Liars online and sound off now!

In case you didn’t know, Miley Cyrus is fucking hot and here she is at her fucking hottest. I’ve been celebrating her break-up and her recent coming back into the limelight to show that fucker what he’s missing, ever since it happened. You know in a bitter, spiteful, typical girl way. But this shit is just over the fucking top. I mean I’ve been documenting pretty much every pic she’s put on twitter, every song she’s put out, every short shorts, high heels, no bra, child star with serious underlying issues, but this V Magazine shit, pretty much jsut blew my fucking mind. I am almost as excited as the Disney exec who just hired her after her dad and mom signed the waiver saying they will never sue him for the blowjobs he gets from her as it’s part of the business….only the things i would to do her are far more perverted than that dude. Seriously, as long as Miley isn’t talking, and as long as you don’t see her entitled brat ways, she’s glorious. I’m into this.
I have very little to say about Amanda Bynes. Other than I love her. Even when everyone else is saturating the topic, you know getting in the way of my love, by trying to understand this child star who went off the deep end, because that’s what the celeb media does, which is coincidentally exactly what she wanted. It’s like she’s fit, she’s busty, she’s got long legs and the people don’t want anything to do with her, they don’t give her work and they don’t track her every move, which I’m sure to her made no sense, so with her team of hired people she decided to cause scandals, make them think you’re crazy and at least get them talking, knowing exactly what she’s doing, and really it’s been the best thing for her career. People are bored, people like crazy. This installment of bra flash, big titty selfie, in her scripted breakdown into crazy, is my kind of crazy. It is the gateway to more exhibitionism, which is really what the people want, and by people I mean me, because none of you fuckers matter, you’re just getting in the way of my connection with Amanda Bynes. Amanda Bynes. She’s amazing.
Did you think it was over, THGers? Did you think you had seen the last of Alana Thompson and her family? HA! Think again. The seven-year old beauty pageant champion and her quirky clan will be featured this Sunday in a special Halloween episode of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo . To get viewers in the mood, TLC has released the following clip from the installment, in which June Shannon expresses her disdain for mayonnaise. Her EXTREME disdain for mayonnaise. It’s akin to how many folks feel about this strange woman and her children. Watch now: Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Clip: Halloween Special
Whether you’re a devoted Twihard, an absolute hater or someone who’s still just completely bewildered by Stephenie Meyer ‘s oeuvre, you must give the Twilight saga this — these stories are incredible, unabashed distillations of teenage (or just teenage-at-heart) female fantasy. Male equivalents, like, say, most superhero stories, have come to dominate the mainstream and fill the summer blockbuster schedule to such an extent that the Twilight films are striking simply in how very different they are. And how crazily well they target certain girlish pleasure centers with their themes of eternal romance, playing house with the advantages of unlimited vampiric wealth, and being the one that everyone wants without even trying . The wildest though hardly the best chapter of the series, franchise closer Breaking Dawn — Part 2 will also be basically bulletproof in terms of box office. That leaves the film free to indulge in the giddy insanity that also colored Part 1 , with its bruising, bed-breaking sex, accelerated monstrous pregnancy and Cronenbergian birth sequence. Like its predecessor, Part 2 was directed by Bill Condon . It picks up with Bella ( Kristen Stewart ) freshly vampirized by her husband Edward ( Robert Pattinson ) after the difficult birth of their daughter Renesmee — initially a CG-enhanced infant and, later, Mackenzie Foy — and skips the surreal, semi-metaphorical treatments of sex and fecundity for more movie-friendly but less interesting action. Renesmee, you see, is aging rapidly, moving from baby to adorable little girl at an unusual rate — and when she’s spotted bounding high in the air the way only a mini half-immortal can, she’s mistaken for a child vampire, the creation of which is against the rules. The sinister Volturi, led by Aro (Michael Sheen, in a performance that goes beyond camp to a higher, gigglier level), prepare to descend on Forks, Washington to dole out punishment, while the Cullens, prompted by one of Alice’s (Ashley Greene) visions, go about gathering allies to their side from covens around the globe. Breaking Dawn — Part 2 ends with a credit sequence for the entire series, including actors who don’t appear in this installment, and watching Anna Kendrick and other actors who played Bella’s classmates flash on screen, it’s hard to think back to when the series was merely a dreamy supernatural high school drama. With its hybrid offspring, soulmate-bonding with babies, international array of bloodsuckers (including Lee Pace as a character I’m choosing to call Revolutionary War Vampire) and an outrageous battle sequence in the snow in which heads are popped off bodies like caps off of beer bottles, this film is very far from the normalcy of Edward and Bella meeting in biology class, or from anything that makes sense. PHOTOS: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson & Co. Premiere ‘Breaking Dawn 2’ At this point in the franchise our central couple is, after much pining and love triangulation, a done deal, and while the two obviously have troubles to deal with, they’re no longer of the impossible-romance variety. Bella and Edward are irrevocably in this together as they prepare to face a threat to their family and their home, which may be why this installment lacks the irresistibly overheated melodramatics of the earlier chapters. With clumsy CGI and awkwardly choreographed fights, these films have never handled action well, but it’s the main focus of the latter half of Breaking Dawn — Part 2 . It’s Jacob ( Taylor Lautner ) — who obligingly doffs his shirt under cheerily contrived circumstances not far into the film — who’s left to carry the torch for difficult love stories by imprinting on and forever hovering around Renesmee, which is actually creepier when she becomes a girl than when he’s mooning over an infant. There’s no way for this development not to read as ridiculous, and the way Lautner chooses “mildly pained” from his limited array of expressions appears to indicate he agrees as he lingers near his potential child bride. Of course, a lot of Breaking Dawn — Part 2 is ridiculous, often knowingly so, with its winking moments of fan service and a gigantic array of characters, many of them signaling their cultural identity with amusing broadness. (The Amazonian vampires were entertaining, but it’s the gothy Romanians who really won me over). The film actually packs in so many new characters and explorations of superpowers (Bella, it turns out, is a “Shield”) that it feels like it’s just trying to avoid having to deal with its protagonists, unsure of what to do with them now that they’re together and married. Aside from a tastefully shot sex scene and one closing affirmation of devotion, the film plays down their relationship now that it’s not plagued with reasons the two can’t be together. And there have been so many. As ludicrous and enjoyably over-the-top as Breaking Dawn — Part 2 can be, it’s not a terribly satisfactory capper to the Twilight franchise because it sets aside the strange undercurrents of desire and danger that defined the series and made it such a hair-tearing conundrum for feminists mystified by the appeal of its passive blank of a heroine. Bella’s an empowered badass in this last installment, wielding newborn strength while showing unusual self-control and learning to use her new abilities — and that’s why things feel off. Bella’s foremost qualities in this series come through in her being protected, being rescued, being adored — she’s a fantasy of finally being recognized as precious after always having been undervalued. And as Bella and Edward ride off into the glittery sunset together to live in their fancy cottage with their walk-in closets and mutant child, it’s nice to see Bella holding her own, but also a curious final twist on the Twilight saga’s darkest appeal — the lure of being the thing that is fought over.
