As we've previously reported, MTV has already optioned a Season 6 of Jersey Shore, so it's highly unlikely that the guido-licious reality show won't return in some form. However, as of a month ago, MTV still hadn't decided if the cast we know would be back. What's the status now?

Recently, Sammi and Deena made an appearance on Live! With Kelly, where Sammi admitted "we haven’t heard anything [about the new season]," hopefully adding, "we would love to [film another one].”

Deena jumped in with even stronger phrasing: "I'm down. I pray we film again. I would love to film. I love filming."

Will Deena's prayers be answered? There's still no word from MTV, but Jersey Shore's recent ratings might give us a clue — and it's not a good sign for Sammi and Deena.

The show's ratings have recently taken a steep plunge. According to TV by the Numbers, two weeks ago the show pulled in 5.6 million viewers and a 3.2 in the coveted 18-49 demo, down from 6.5 million and a 3.9 the week before that. Last week it was down even more, with 5.4 million viewers and a 3.0.

Now, these numbers are still great relative to the competition — Jersey Shore easily beats all other cable shows on Thursdays and still stacks up well against the major broadcast shows. It remains one of the most popular cable shows overall (last week it was topped only by Pawn Starsand American Pickers. Ah, the power of memorabilia). That said, this is a far cry from the days when Jersey routinely got 7+ million viewers per week.

The falling ratings plus teh cast's exponentially increasing salary has to make the idea of starting over with a new group of guidos appealing to the MTV Powers that Be. It would give them a chance to shake up the formula that is clearly starting to get stale, and they could pay the newbies significantly less.

Don't forget to watch The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 9: Triggerfinger online free! It is being reported that Tony Moore (artist for the first 6 issues of The Walking Dead) is suing Robert Kirkman because Moore says that he was “duped” into assigning his interest in the material over to Kirkman, who has since gone on to fame and fortune. Moore, on the other hand, has received very little compensation and has not be able to access profit statements from properties including Walking Dead. The Hollywood reporter attained a copy of the suit and the complaint states that:

“Each of these works was prepared by [Moore] and Kirkman with the intention that their contributions be merged into inseparable or independent parts of a unitary whole,” the complaint states. “[Moore] and Kirkman were thus joint authors and co-owners of the copyrights in these works.”

In response to the accusations from Moore, Robert Kirkman’s attorney Allen Grodzky told The Hollywood Reporter that:

“totally frivolous. Mr. Moore is owed no money at all. And Mr. Moore’s contract has an attorneys’ fees clause in it so we will be going after him to collect attorneys’ fees. We are taking this matter very seriously.”

Kirkman and Moore apparently were childhood friends who frequently collaborated with one another on various projects before Kirkman hit it big with The Walking Dead TV show. And now, Moore is saying that in 2005 Kirkman and his agents devised a scheme to fraudulently induce him to assign his copyright interests over to Kirkman’s company. Moore also claims that he signed a deal granting him 60 percent of “Comic Publishing Net Proceeds” in connection with Walking Dead and another project called Brit; 20 percent of “motion picture net proceeds” in connection with Walking Dead and Brit; and 50 percent of “motion picture net proceeds” from another project called Battle Pope but Moore says that he hasn’t received much revenue or profit statements from Kirkman or his company.

“Indeed, they have not issued a single statement or allowed access to their books and records in accordance with the reporting obligations of the agreement,”

Moore goes on to say that a big tv deal was on the table back in 2005 but “Kirkman would not be able to complete the deal unless [Moore] assigned all of his interest in The Walking Dead and other works to Kirkman.” So, thinking that the deal would fall apart Moore signed all of his aforementioned interest in The Walking Dead over to Kirkman which he says allowed Kirkman to “swindle” him out of his 50% interest in the copyright, intending to never compensate Moore.

Of the four girls, Emily was the one who had the closest relationship with Alison, who she was in love with. Although Alison frequently mocks Emily's feelings, she also professes a fondness for Emily, telling Emily that Emily's the only one who understands her and that Emily is her "favorite." Alison appears after Emily passes out from carbon monoxide poisoning, telling Emily that she knows A's identity, but is afraid Emily will be killed if she reveals it. It is unclear if Alison's appearance was a hallucination or reality.

Emily is immediately attracted to her new next door neighbor, Maya, and they begin seeing each other. However, their relationship is broken up by Emily's mother, who disapproves and has Maya sent away when she discovers marijuana in her purse. When Emily returns to the swim team after a short leave of absence, she becomes rivals with Paige, who has taken Emily's place as being the best swimmer. She confronts Paige about Paige's homophobia, only to discover that Paige is gay herself. The two slowly reconcile and begin to date, though Emily breaks up with Paige, not wanting to be her "secret." Emily then starts dating Samara, who she meets through a program for homosexuals, though she is dumped after a misunderstanding caused by A. Shortly after, Maya returns to Rosewood, sparking Emily's hope of renewing their relationship.

A outs Emily to her parents after sending Emily's mother a picture of Emily and Maya kissing. A singles her out as the "weakest link," forcing Emily to make up a lie about getting a college scholarship for swimming and tormenting her emotionally and physically, putting her under enormous pressure which leads to Emily developing a stomach ulcer which is caused by stress. A also secretly dosed Emily with HGH, by putting it in Emily's body cream which she had been using frequently which ends up on her medical record and destroys her chances of being able get a scholarship. In addition, she is sometimes at odds with Spencer when it comes to the issue of A and Alison's killer, something which A uses to their advantage.

Let’s see about the television series, shall we, and talk about the best of Spencer Hastings.

Spencer Hastings is considered the "preppy" girl of the group; very nerdy. Intelligent and extremely ambitious, she thrives in perfectionism in everything she does, in an attempt to live up to the high expectations of her parents. Spencer's biggest rival is her older sister, Melissa, and the two are constantly at odds. Their relationship is often strained by the fact that Spencer has a habit of crushing on, and later kissing, Melissa's boyfriends (first Ian, then Wren). She is the closest with Aria although she got along with the others as well.

Although they were close friends, Spencer resented Alison, who constantly threatened to reveal to Melissa that Spencer kissed Ian. The two of them often argued, as Spencer was the only one of the girls who was willing to stand up to Alison. On the night of Alison's disappearance, Spencer told Alison that they were done being friends, and that she was tired of being treated like Alison's property. However, it was Spencer who went looking for Alison when she heard Alison scream.

Wren and Spencer have a brief affair, which is cut short when Melissa discovers it and dumps Wren. Spencer later begins a relationship with Alex, a boy who works at Rosewood's exclusive country club, though a misunderstanding leads to Alex dumping her. Although initially suspicious of Toby, believing him to be A and possibly Alison's killer, Spencer begins to bond with Toby after she becomes his French tutor and is also framed by A. The two begin to date, against the wishes of their parents. Soon after, Wren returns to Rosewood as a resident at the local hospital, which causes Spencer great emotional confusion. A later forces Spencer to break up with Toby, after revealing that it is the only way to keep Toby safe.

Previously, the best way to get to someone is through the people they love, and "A" knows this better than anyone. Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer have had to sacrifice a lot at the gloved hands of "A", especially when it comes to love. Toby continues to pursue Spencer, knowing that she is keeping something from him. With another "accident" possibly popping up at any minute, Spencer is desperate to keep Toby safe and can think of only way to truly end it. Also worried about her relationship, Hanna begs the other girls to stop using Caleb to help with their search. The more involved Caleb gets, the bigger target he becomes. But is the valuable information Caleb is finding more important to the others than Caleb's safety? Meanwhile, Aria is desperate to save her relationship with Ezra still not returning her calls. Will one more "date" with Holden give Aria the opportunity to get the answer from Ezra she is longing for?

And for the next episode of the show, watch Pretty Little Liars Season 2 Episode 18: A Kiss Before Lying online because there’s definitely more to the show than meets the eye.

After putting her foot down about Caleb with her friends, Hanna begins to feel that she is getting the cold shoulder from them. Aria, Emily and Spencer seem to be up to something, but she can't quite seem to figure out what it is. But what Hanna may take as the cold shoulder, could really be just a case of guilty consciences from her friends. And if her best friends avoiding her weren't enough, Kate's first day at Rosewood High is looming. Now that her evil step-sister is invading Hanna's space, she needs her friends more than ever. Meanwhile, Emily hopes that her mother's visit to Rosewood will be a good opportunity to re-introduce her to Maya and have a better outcome this time.

You really don’t have to exert that much effort when it comes to exuding impressive confidence, just so you know, you just have to throw up, and get skinny. Nah, just kidding, don’t forget about Hanna Marin and watch Pretty Little Liars Season 2 Episode 18: A Kiss Before Lying online free as soon as the very next episode of the television series airs on January 30, 2012. So, going back to Hanna Marin, she is deemed as the it-girl of the group, who took Alison’s place, and even better as the most popular and prettiest girl in all of Rosewood, leading the way before Emily Fields, Spence Hastings, and Aria Montgomery. Before Alison’s death. Hanna was this chubby, overweight girl who is the subject of mockery and insult for Alison just because she’s overweight.

It was Alison who encouraged Hanna to become bulimic in order to lose weight, although Hanna admitted that she could not continue with it because it made her feel terrible. However, Hanna is constantly dogged by the issue of her weight and during periods of insecurity, engages in binging. Hanna also shoplifts, as a way to make herself feel better.

Hanna's parents are divorced; she lives with her mother and feels betrayed by her father, who has plans to remarry. Hanna does not get along well with her father's new wife and daughter, the latter with whom she has a rivalry. After experiencing financial hardship, Hanna's mother steals thousands of dollars from the bank she works at, which Hanna accidentally discovers and is forced to keep a secret.

Hanna's best friend is Mona; after Alison's disappearance, the two "transformed" themselves from "losers" to the most popular girls in school. Though Alison was one of Hanna's closest friends, Hanna expresses relief at Alison being dead, having been hurt so often by Alison. At the start of the show, Hanna was dating Sean, who she had crushed on for a long time, however, they break up as Hanna becomes more focused on the mystery surrounding A and Alison's killer. She later becomes close to Rosewood's resident bad boy, Caleb, and they two begin to date, with Hanna subsequently losing her virginity to Caleb. Although Hanna dumps him after she discovers Caleb was working for Jenna, the two later rekindle their relationship. Hanna is also friends with Lucas, who harbors an unrequited crush on her.

Isn’t it fabulous how a simple, yet gorgeous clique of four would turn out to be not so nice and full of secrets after all, courtesy of a totally vindictive and nosy antagonist who only identifies himself or herself as A. Watch Pretty Little Liars Season 2 Episode 17: The Blond Leading the Blind online as soon as the very next episode of the show airs on January 23, 2012.

You can see the whole picture, A has everything else, resources you mean, about how he or she wanted to only have the best victory ever. Yet despite of that, A has been known to act as a more ambiguous character, especially when he or she saved Spencer from being attacked by Ian, or when A supplied the Liars with some snippets about Alison’s death and killer. Then there’s Dr. Sullivan, who serves as the girls’ therapist, who was able to take a look at A’s identity when A became one of her clients for a short time. This one’s unclear, but A actually knows about Alison‘s death. 'A' was in possession of a video Ian had filmed of himself and Alison engaged in an affair and also provided the girls with Alison's autopsy report even though she/he took out a specific page leaving the girls wondering what information was on it.

The girls have suspected a few people of being 'A': Toby (who was framed by 'A'), Ian (who was killed by 'A'), Jason (Alison's older brother), and Jenna. At first the girls believed 'A' and Alison's killer were the same person, but later concluded this was untrue. It was also revealed in a prequel episode of the Halloween before Alison went missing that Alison was also being tormented by a person who called themselves "A" as well, however it is unknown if the two A's are the same person. There’s more to A than meets the eye so don’t forget to watch Pretty Little Liars Season 2 Episode 17: The Blond Leading the Blind.

Vindictive, blonde, beautiful. That may describe the little ninny that is Alison DiLaurentis of Pretty Little Liars. Whatever will it take to make you content with what the television series could bring? Tune in and watch Pretty Little Liars Season 2 Episode 16: Let the Water Hold Me Down online when it airs on your small screens on January 16, 2012. It’s worth the wait fellas, so better stick on with it. Let’s discuss what Alison DiLaurentis has in store for us this time around.

Alison was this former queen bee, not just of her clique, but of all of Rosewood High. She leads her group of friends, made up of Aria Montgomery, Emily Fields, Hanna Marin, and Spencer Hastings.  She died one time, and a year after that, the surviving girls began to receive threatening text messages from a person named A, and at first, they believed that Alison is alive and is just playing a hoax on them.

It is revealed through flashbacks and clues sent by "A" that numerous people in Rosewood would have had motive to kill her. Alison was aware of all of the girls' deepest secrets: Spencer kissing Ian (her sister, Melissa's, boyfriend at the time), Aria's dad's affair with a student, Hanna's bulimia, and Emily's homosexuality (and her crush on Alison herself). Alison was also responsible for blinding Jenna, by setting off a fire cracker in Toby's shed with the girls with her; Alison blackmailed Toby into taking the blame by threatening to reveal that Toby and Jenna were engaged in an sexual affair (though it's later revealed that Jenna was blackmailing Toby into sleeping with her). Before her death, Alison had also been secretly dating Ian and being stalked by an unknown person who threatened to torture Alison the way she tortured everyone in Rosewood.

For the next episode of the television series, with Lucas still missing and queries still surrounding what happened out on the lake, Hanna can just barely get a grip of things that’s happening. With Caleb determined to find his friend, Hanna's reluctance to help only causes more problems. Can Hanna really tell Caleb what happened in the boat without tipping him off to her larger "A" problem? And if she did tell him, would he be willing to stick around after hearing all the horrible things Hanna has done? Meanwhile, Spencer follows a lead about "A" which guides her to an unexpected place and revelation.

The episode opened with our favorite quartet donning orange jumpers — and not the kind you pair with a bone-colored wedge. Their only accessories? Trash-picking tools. Who would want to miss the next episode? So watch Pretty Little Liars Season 2 Episode 15 online when the next episode of the show airs on January 9, 2012.

The girls were on community service for obstructing justice and you got the sense that they weren’t happy about it. In fact, they were downright rotten — mostly to Emily. But we later found out it was all part of a greater plan to fool “A” into thinking they were at odds, with the goal of getting the mysterious troublemaker to lure Emily, the one who appeared most vulnerable, away from her friends.

As I watched this episode, I felt — more than I ever had before — like I was watching a game of some sort; pick your sporty poison. It was the Girls vs. “A.” Every maneuver, every well-calculated play, earned a hoot and holler from me, in anticipation of impending victory for the Liars. (Thank GOD I was watching this alone or my over-reactions would have become embarrassing very fast.) After all, I knew that this season would yield a big development. So, naturally, this season opener had to set them on the path, I figured. And it did.

By the end of the episode, “A” had been fooled and tried to befriend Emily and steal her from the group (just as they had intended), but then Emily (rather prematurely) revealed their plan to “A,” and “A” was enraged. Luckily, the girls came to the rescue before “A” could do some real damage with that rake. And by episode’s end, “A” had it rough — he/she was hit by a car (BIG cheer there) and had lost his/her cell phone. But if end-of-episode tantrums are any indication, “A” will be out for blood next week.

While all this was going on, the other plots left hanging in the wind at the end of the last episode saw some development. Ezra and Aria finally came clean about their relationship in a completely awkward confession, Emily found herself unable to join back up with the swim team as a result of her new criminal record, Hanna’s dad decided to move back to town (woo?), and Caleb returned from Cali but it’s a not-so-welcomed homecoming from Lucas, who, I might add, continues to be my No. 1 suspect.

So what was your favorite part of the new episode, readers? Did you fall for the Emily twist? Did you like it? Am I the only one who watches Pretty Little Liars like it’s the NFL? And did anyone, as Hannah eloquently asked, see if “A” had boobs?
