The 2013 Teen Choice Awards have been announced and nominations are starting to be released. The “first wave” of nominations have been announced and fans can begin voting online at www.teenchoiceawards.com immediately. Twilight has, no surprise, dominated the movie categories with seven nominations. Happily, however, The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Logan Lerman have also received nominations. That movie was amazing and I’m happy it’s getting some recognition. Over in the television categories, ABC Family score some nominations with Pretty Little Liars snagging three nominations. Switched at Birth, Glee, and pleasantly enough Hawaii Five-0 were also nominated for several categories.
The two hour even will air live on August 11th on FOX.

Rumer Willis is headed to Rosewood. The actress is going to be guest starring in an upcoming episode of Pretty Little Liars. She will be playing a charity organizer “with a sense of humor.” Her character is slated to appear in one episode with the option to appear in more. Her episode will air in July.
What do you think of this casting news? Is Pretty Little Liars resorting to semi-famous faces to help with ratings? Not sure that’s the case here as it is one of ABC Family’s top rated shows.
Pretty Little Liars returns for season 4 on June 11th on ABC Family.

We are 19 days away from the premiere of ABC Family’s Pretty Twisted Tuesdays. The new Tuesday programming block will feature the season 4 premiere of Pretty Little Liars and the series premiere of the network’s highly anticipated mystery thriller Twisted.
We’ve already seen the pilot episode of Twisted and I think this show will interest fans a lot more than recent duds like The Lying Game and Bunheads. The premiere episode was full of mystery and cliffhangers and perfectly set up fans to tune in for the rest of the season.
Twisted premiered June 11th on ABC Family.
Check out these sneak peeks of the pilot episode of Twisted here:
“Twisted” (formerly “Socio”) is a one-hour mystery full of twists and turns that is centered on a charismatic 16-year-old with a troubled past who recently reconnected with his two female best friends from childhood. He becomes the prime suspect when a fellow student is surprisingly found dead in her home. The series will be executive-produced by Gavin Polone, (“Gilmore Girls,” “Zombieland,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “My Boys,” “Jane By Design”) David Babcock (“Brothers & Sisters”) and Adam Milch (“Greek”), who also wrote the pilot. The drama stars Avan Jogia (“Victorious”), Maddie Hasson (“The Finder”), Kylie Bunbury (“Prom”), Kimberly Quinn (“Terriers”), Sam Robards (“Treme,” “Gossip Girl”), newcomer Ashton Moio and Denise Richards (“Two and a Half Men”). The series is produced by Prodco, Inc.
According to a new report from Vulture, FOX is considering a new twist on the judges for American Idol next year. In a bid to boost dwindling ratings, serious consideration is being given to the possibility of having former contestants on the judges panel. Their sources say Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson have already been approached and Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken are also being considered.
I think this is a great idea. This show has gotten incredibly stale since the judges table has become a revolving door of overpaid celebrities who just want to boost or promote their careers. The meddling of the producers who seemed frantic this year to manipulate the results has become increasingly apparent and this could be the breath of fresh air we’re looking for. If the show can get back to its roots and become genuine again, I might actually start watching again.
If I can’t have Harry Connick Jr. (who seemed frustrated with the show’s b.s.) I would love a panel of contestants. I might prefer to see Jordin Sparks instead of Hudson, who seems to be everywhere on my TV lately. If she’s not warbling at me about Weight Watchers, she’s taking over Smash. David Archuleta probably wouldn’t be considered because he’s just too nice. While his criticism wouldn’t exactly be constructive, it would be hilarious to watch him attempt to be critical of someone with his smile and laugh. How would he have reacted to William Hung or any of the awful auditions? Think of the look on his face! Cutie pie.
Who would you like to see on the judges panel next season? Can American Idol be saved?
