      Bonnie lowers the veil while Elena hunts Katherine.

      Something wicked this way comes. Or should we say many somethings.

      Bonnie taps into the expression triangle to lower the veil, which brings back everyone from Alaric (yay!) to Kol (no!) to Jeremy (eh). But when Silas proves just how powerful he is, Bonnie needs a little help from a familiar face, Grams (double yay!), to fight back.

      But to quote a different show, magic always has a price. And Bonnie must pay the ultimate one.

      There's not a whole lot going on relationship-wise; we'll update what's happening with the various couples later. But first, let's dive into the recap.

      Kill Katherine

      Elena is crushing concrete blocks at Stefan's suggestion to work out her aggression. It's not working -- she still wants to take out Katherine. That's all she cares about. Not graduation or her friends (Caroline is wounded).

      Elsewhere, Bonnie is dragging Katherine around to the three points of the expression triangle (where the massacres took place). She's linked the two of them together, so that Silas

    • How Will Jodi Arias's Conviction Affect Lifetime's TV Movie?

      "Dirty Little Secret" will chronicle the sensational trial.

      In the case of Lifetime's TV movie about the Jodi Arias trial, the headlines are still in the process of being ripped.

      On Wednesday, an Arizona jury found the 32-year-old guilty of murdering her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander.

      Arias's trial featured plenty of violence and sex, including a lurid phone sex call, nude photos, titillating sexual details. It all adds up to a juicy recipe for a Lifetime movie. The cable network is prepping one starring Tania Raymonde ("Lost") as Arias and Jesse Lee Soffer ("The Mob Doctor") as Alexander. Lifetime will update the end of "Dirty Little Secret" to reflect the conviction.

      "We had intentionally left the court scenes for the end of the shoot, so the film could be as up-to-date as possible," said Arturo Interian, Vice President, Original Movies for Lifetime.

    • 'Survivor: Caramoan' Recap: Everybody Hurts Sometimes

      Erik's hallucinating, Dawn's crying (again), and a betrayal shocks one player to the core.

      Nobody's here to make friends. They're here to win $1 million.

      Of course, "Survivor" players do make friends. They bond. They grow close. They scheme together. They starve together. They comfort each other through brutal conditions.

      But in the end, there's only one sole survivor, and that means people will get backstabbed, betrayed, and hurt. This time, it's Brenda, at the hands of the "nicest" person out there -- Dawn. And even worse, it happens after she willingly gives up time with her loved one.

      That's just cold, you guys.

      Gone coconuts

      Camp is lethargic. This far into the game, the shelter's been built and the fire's going, and everybody has their chores and routines. As a fed-up Erik says, "There's nothing to be talked about, nothing to be said, nothing to be done. I'm miserable here. This is the most beautiful prison I've ever been in." (Erik has others to compare it to?!)

      The guy is seriously cracking up, though. His hunger is driving him up a tree, literally -- he starts climbing

    • Watch Jimmy Fallon and John Krasinski's Lip-Sync Battle

      Read John Krasinski's lips: He's in it to win it.

      The "Office" star stopped by "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" Tuesday night to promote the comedy's May 16 series finale and engaged the host in a hilarious, last-man-singing lip-sync battle.

      Fallon kicked it off with a heartfelt rendition of Melissa Manchester's "Don't Cry Out Loud. "That was really beautiful," Krasinski said, pretending to be choked up. Then he threw down the gauntlet with Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream," shimmying and unbuttoning his jacket.

      "Fake breathing at the end and everything," a respectful Fallon noted.

      They continued to duel, with Fallon lip-syncing Das EFX's "They Want EFX" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," and Krasinski doing Run DMC's "Peter Piper." But he really brought the house down with a throbbing version of Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You."To the Roots's and audience's delight, Krasinski went there -- grabbing his fake earpiece, tearing off

    • Miss America to Be Crowned... Without the Miss America Song!

      The familiar crowning anthem will be cut due to a dispute.

      "There she is, Miss America"... except this year's winner won't be hearing those words.

      Due to a licensing dispute, Miss America 2013 will be crowned in September without the iconic "Miss America" song.

      Miss America Organization vice president Sharon Pearce confirmed to the Press of Atlantic City that the familiar tune, played almost every year since 1955, will no longer be used at the pageant.

      The dispute stems from a lawsuit filed by the late songwriter Bernie Wayne's wife, who claimed the song was used without a proper license in 2011 and 2012.

      [Photos: See Who Competed in the Last Miss America Pageant]

      For a few years in the 1980s, the "Miss America" song was silent during another contract dispute, and last year, the pageant played instrumental music instead for Laura Kaeppeler's crowning. This year, organizers could also choose to use another tune like "Look at Her" and "Miss America the Beautiful."

      Wayne first wrote the song while sitting in a barber's chair in 1955. In that year's

    • 2013 Met Gala Features a 'Dawson's Creek' Almost-Reunion

      Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams, and Joshua Jackson all walk the red carpet.

      We don't want to wait for our lives to be over to see a "Dawson's Creek" reunion!

      But it seems we'll have to wait at least a little longer. While the 2013 Met Gala featured appearances by stars Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams, and Joshua Jackson, the three Creekers didn't pose for any photos together. And Dawson himself, James Van Der Beek was missing from the scene, precluding a true reunion anyway.

      [Photos: Celeb Selfies From the MET Gala]

      Holmes and Williams dazzled in Calvin Klein and Saint Laurent, respectively, while a dashing Jackson was escorting girlfriend Diane Krueger to the glittering fashion event. The trio's attendance prompted "Dawson's Creek" fans to start buzzing on Twitter.

      Nostalgia is at an all-time high because this May marks the 10th anniversary of the series finale, which TV Guide named as

    • 'Game of Thrones' Recap: Let's Make a Deal

      Robb negotiates with the Freys, while Tywin and Olenna come to terms.

      The Episode "The Climb" in a Nutshell:

      What happened:

      • Jon and the Wildlings climb the Wall
      • Tywin and Olenna cross verbal swords over marriages
      • Robb makes restitution with the Freys

      Body count: 1

      Nudity count: 1

      Dragon sightings: 0

      New people and places: None

      Best line: "Old. I'm something of an expert on the subject." -- Lady Olenna

      What's the deal with… Bolton's offer to let Jaime go? After sending his men to hunt down the Kingslayer, why would he flip-flop like that?

      ----------

      Real loyalty is a rare commodity in Westeros: Alliances are constantly fluctuating, intentions changing, priorities reversing. A bitter Arya sees that for herself when the Brotherhood gives up Gendry, while Sansa sobs over her shattered dreams. And for one "Game of Thrones" character, shifting loyalty results in the ultimate cost: death.

      North of the Wall: Sam and Gilly

      Is there anything Sam can do well? He and Gilly are still on the run, and she has to instruct him on how to make a fire properly. That doesn't prevent

    • 'Saturday Night Live' Recap: Zach Galifianakis Hosts a Star-Studded Show

      His “Hangover” co-stars and Jon Hamm make surprise appearances.

      Bring on the weird!

      This season of “Saturday Night Live” was feeling a bit stale, but Zach Galifianakis once again freshened up the show last night with his delightfully oddball humor. And he got a little help from some famous friends, too.

      Check out what made us laugh, wince, and groan.

      BEST CAMEOS: Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms in “Jennifer Aniston Lookalike Competition”

      Galifianakis was at his weirdest (best) as the outraged loser of the Aniston contest. “I’ve taken farts that look more like Jennifer Aniston,” he scoffs at the people who placed above him. Meanwhile, Taran Killam’s Aniston impression was insanely good. But the purpose of this sketch was to bring in Galifianakis’s “Hangover” co-stars, and it was a treat to see them all in long, blonde wigs.

      BEST: Monologue

      Zach Galifianakis has got such a quirky, different style than most hosts, and a wonderfully wacky tone was set from his monologue. “Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving,” Galifianakis said drily, to giggles and guffaws.

      He

    • 'Once Upon a Time' Star Michael Raymond-James Teases Neal's Backstory: It's All About Family

      Flashbacks show Baelfire joining the Darling family. Is he Peter Pan?

      Fairy tale worlds collide on Sunday's new "Once Upon a Time"!

      In the episode "Second Star to the Right," fans will learn more about what happened to Neal/Baelfire after he jumped through the portal that took him away from the Enchanted Forest. Turns out he ended up in 19th-century England and was taken in by a family named Darling. As in the family who took in Peter Pan!

      So, Neal is Peter Pan? We asked Michael Raymond-James, who plays the grown-up Neal, but his lips were sealed. He did tease that the flashbacks show just how important family is to Neal, and that he and Emma will address their "unfinished business."

      We haven't seen Bae/Neal interact much with his father, Mr. Gold. Where is their relationship now?

      That's a question that Bae has as well. That's something that you're going to see get looked at and examined. That's a question that Neal has as well -- why hasn't it developed?

      The surviving members of TLC, Chilli and T-Boz, are consulting producers on the VH1 movie. In January, T-Boz starred in a reality series (on the TV channel TLC) that chronicled her move to California, though she tweeted that she won't be making a second season. No matter, as she and Chilli will be very busy this year -- they're planning to record new music and go on a reunion tour, starting with the Mixtape Festival in July.
