Spencer is about learn Toby’s big, bad secret — and brace yourselves, Pretty Little Liars fans, because her reaction will be nothing short of “gut-wrenching,” warns executive producer I. Marlene King.

The revelation occurs during this Tuesday’s installment (ABC Family, 8/7c) — which pays homage to the Stephen King classic Misery — when Keegan Allen‘s alter-ego “makes a slight mistake” in his “A” game, and, King says with a laugh, his girlfriend almost instantly “picks up on it… because she’s smart like that.” Soon, all of the jagged pieces just start falling together.

“When Spencer finds out, she almost goes through the stages of grief: First, it’s denial, then anger, then sadness and, in her odd way, acceptance, too,” the EP tells TVLine. “Her original thought is to say, ‘Please, Toby, tell me there’s more to the story’ — and we leave you hanging with that for awhile. But she’ll [initially] keep it a secret. That’s her journey through the first half of Season 3B, because she doesn’t want the girls to know — especially when she’s still trying to process and make sense of it.”

A “cat-and-mouse game” will ensue between the two at first, shares King, but ultimately this killer betrayal will “implode the relationship. It’s the unraveling of Spencer Hastings,” adds fellow PLL boss Oliver Goldstick.

“It’s a gut-wrenching episode to watch,” King confesses. “It’s really good, dramatic fun, but it’s also really sad.”

Jan 22nd 2013, 14:00

Coming soon on Castle: A much anticipated father-son reunion!

The ABC hit is finally introducing Rick’s MIA dad this February, and TVLine has learned that he will be played by James Brolin!

The Emmy winning acting vet will appear in Castle‘s big February sweeps two-parter (set to air on Feb. 18 and Feb. 25), which finds Rick and Kate investigating a murder that subsequently exposes a plot to kidnap a wealthy Middle Eastern businessman’s daughter.

RELATED | Will a Castle Couple Reconnect?

As TVLine previously reported, Nip/Tuck‘s Dylan Walsh guest stars in both episodes as FBI Agent Harris, an even-keeled professional brought in to help find the kidnappers. 

It’s unclear how Castle’s pa figures into the case, if at all.

Brolin — who won Emmy gold in 1970 for his role on Marcus Welby, M.D. — counts The Defenders, Psych and Law & Order: SVU as his most recent TV appearances. He’ll also be seen later this season playing the father of another TV leading man — Joel McHale’s Jeff Winger on Community.

Chris Brown has gotten himself into another bad incident with police, but thankfully he had nothing to do with it! A source close to Breezy revealed to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY how he really felt after police swarmed his L.A. home!

TMZ reports that cops were forced to take action after someone called 911 reporting a domestic incident at Chris Brown‘s house in Hollywood, the incident has since been determined to be a prank!

Chris is the latest victim in the prank known as swatting, which has been taking over Hollywood’s elite. Swatting is best described by Urban Dictionary as, “A goal achieved by hacking where the hacker tricks 911 systems into deploying SWAT to an unsuspecting victim’s home under false pretenses.”

Celebs including Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and even the Kardashians have been all put in this predicament. In the case of this latest swatting with Breezy, a “caller claimed a mother and father were in a fight and the father went to another room in the house to get a gun. At that point the caller hung up, never mentioning it was Chris Brown’s house,” according to TMZ.

Cops showed up, but thankfully nothing was happening and it hasn’t been determined if Chris was even at his house during the time of the police visit.

Chris Brown Was ‘Scared’ When He Learned Of Swatting Prank

A source close to Chris revealed that luckily the R&B singer wasn’t at home at the time, but that he was NOT happy when he found out about the prank!

“When he heard what had happened of course he called his home, he was scared and didn’t know what was going on,” the source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “His mom rushed over there to see what was happening and he called her, but it turned out everything was all good.”

But Chris is still angry with all of this targeted pranking — especially since someone could get hurt!

So HollywoodLifers, unfortunately Chris Brown has been brought into this pranking situation that is plaguing Hollywood. Isn’t it time that this stops?

Hollywood Life: Jason Wu ‘In Shock’ Michelle Obama Wore His Inaugural Gown Again

The first lady dazzled the nation when she selected a gorgeous ruby red ball gown for the 2013 Presidential Inaugural Ball designed by Jason Wu — the same designer she wore at the 2009 ball! The young designer revealed he’s still ‘in shock.’

There’s no denying that First Lady Michelle Obama is a fashion icon, and during the 2013 Presidential Inaugural Ball, she stole the show in a gorgeous ruby red ball gown by Jason Wu. The fashion designer, 30, also designed the first lady’s dress for the 2009 Inaugural Ball, but even he was surprised his gown was selected again!

Jason Wu made a name for himself during the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Ball when he designed Michelle’s white one-shoulder gown when he was just 26. Her bold choice put him on the fashion map back then — and the designer, who has been incredibly busy building his line in the past four years, didn’t even expect his design to be selected again.

“#Inshock!!!” he tweeted on Jan. 21.

Michelle Obama’s Complete Inaugural Ball Look

While Michelle's look back in 2009 was very romantic, the red dress was definitely sexier, but still chic. Michelle's toned arms are one of her best assets, and the halter gown put her arms and shoulders on display. The dress was cinched at her waist, really showing off her figure, while in the back the dress dipped low and showed a bit more skin than one might expect to see from a First Lady.

Michelle knows how to make a fashion statement, and that's exactly what she did in her gorgeous red dress. A pair of Jimmy Choo pumps and a custom Kimberly McDonald ring added the finishing touches to her ensemble, as did the sparkling set of bangles that were on her arm.

We  think she looked amazing — and congrats to Jason Wu for the honors again!

What do YOU think about Michelle’s gown HollywoodLifers? Are you shocked she picked Jason Wu again? Let us know in the comments below!

Hollywood Life: Manti Te’o To Come Clean To Katie Couric In First On-Camera Interview

Jan 22nd 2013, 12:20

Manti Te’o will sit down with Katie Couric for his first on-camera interview on Jan. 24 to tell the his side of the girlfriend hoax story.

Manti Te’o, along with his parents Brian and Ottilia Te’o, will join Katie Couric in the interview that will air on Jan. 24. Te’o has become a household name after news broke that Lennay Kekua, the girl he had allegedly been dating before she passed away in September 2012, was not real.

Now the butt of countless jokes on Saturday Night Live and from Twitter users around the world, Te’o is ready to tell Couric what he knew, while the whole world watches. How exactly was he fooled by such an elaborate hoax and is he completely innocent? We will soon find out!

Manti Te’o Was Fooled By A Friend

In an interview with ESPN, Te’o said he got a tweet from Ronaiah Tuiasosopo admitting that he was responsible for the whole thing.”Two guys and a girl are responsible for the whole thing,” Manti said in the interview.

The identity of the second guy or girl is still unknown and while the fake girlfriend supposedly died back in September, Manti didn’t know what really happened until Ronaiah told him on Jan. 16.

Female Broadcasters Are Getting The Exclusives

This interview comes soon after Oprah‘s emotional tell-all with Lance Armstrong, where he admitted to doping. Couric will surely be taking notes from Oprah and will come out with hard-hitting questions.

Te’o said he had met Lennay and then he said he hadn’t, so hopefully the truth will come out in his first on-camera interview.

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Did Manti know more than he says he did?
