Dianna Agron strikes a pose for the cover of the February 2011 issue of Elle Canada. The photo of Agron, beautiful and pale on the front of the magazine, may look familiar. It is one from photographer Paola Kudacki’s series for Vanity Fair’s October 2010 issue (see those photos here.)

The 24 year-old actress is in the upcoming film I Am Number Four, where she met her current boyfriend Alex Pettyfer on set. Agron said of her meeting with him:

He was great. I mean, I didn’t meet him until the day before the table read. And I thought, “Okay no judgments” he’s British, he’s very attractive, he’s the lead in this movie, let’s see. And you realize quickly with him, he’s very worldly. He’s from Europe; he’s been traveling and kind of exploring and taking in people from all different walks of life his whole life. And he was very passionate about this film and about what we could do and what we could explore with it. I think it shows in the trailer, I mean he looks amazing and so focused, and yeah I can’t wait to see the whole thing and kind of really see how it all turned out.

Dianna’s film opens February 18th and Glee returns following the Super Bowl on February 6th with a super-sized edition.

Lucy Hale is Teen Vogue’s cover girl for the Febraury 2011 issue.

The 21 year-old actress and the rest of Pretty Little Liars cast returned to ABC Family last night (after months of waiting!) with the new episode “Moments Later.” Hale is getting noticed as Aria on PLL and the star says she wasn’t even all that interested in acting at first. Hale says “I wanted to be a singer.”

She tells TVogue about how she got started in Hollywood, maybe music is in her future and the politics of show business:

On how she started out: “I’ve only been living here for a few years. I never thought about acting when I lived in Memphis—actually, pretty much the opposite. I wanted to be a singer. Someone randomly suggested I audition for a few things. I thought, Why not? And I got a role on [Nickelodeon's] Drake & Josh. It was literally just a sentence, but I was so excited to be an actress.”

Is she going to move into a music career? “All I can say is that if I ventured out into that world, it’d be a dream come true. I took guitar a while back, and my heart wasn’t in it at the time, but I’m ready to try it again. I sing in the car, at home—it’s a huge part of my life, especially since I’m from Tennessee. When I’m ready for it, I’m going to dive into it 100 percent.”

On how to handle the back-stabbing world, Hollywood or high school: “There’s jealousy everywhere and tons of politics. The problem is that people in L.A. never really have to grow up,” she says. “Everyone needs to chill out. There’s room for us all.” The solution she found (which, she adds, is “pretty much the same way you should deal with high school”) is simple. She says with a shrug, “Surround yourself with the right people, and realize your own worth. Honestly, there are enough bad people out there in the world—you don’t need to be your own worst enemy.”

Justin Bieber has recorded a song with Chris Brown and Brown sent the word out on twitter that it’s about to drop:

“ME and @justinbieber got a BANGER/SMASH record for all the fans out there at the top of the NEW YEAR!!! 2011.”

Bieber had dropped the duet tip back in October on his twitter saying:

“Kinda hyped rt now. for a new single teamed up with one of my friends and an artist I used to sing covers of on youtube. BIG RECORD. SMASH!!” He then tweeted a video of himself covering Brown’s “With You.”

This could be some serious rehab for Brown’s very tarnished image but could it hurt Bieber’s?

Brown plead guilty to assaulting singer Rihanna in June of 2009. He has successfully completed his community service and the court-ordered domestic violence program but will be on probation for 3 1/2 more years.

Giving credit where credit is due, Brown did step up and took responsibility for his actions and has done everything he’s been asked by the court. He’s kept out of trouble, but what he did to Rihanna was awful.

So the questions remain: Is it time to let him off the hook? Are you OK with Justin choosing to record with Brown?

What do you think? Sound off and let us know!

Victoria Justice is pretty in a strapless peachy pink dress and awesome oversize floral cuff for the cover of the 2011 issue Seventeen Prom.

Justice, who’s never been to a prom, dishes to the mag about finding the right dress, don’t be desperate for a boy (amen, sister!) and what she thinks prom should be all about:

On finding the perfect party dress: “All of the outfits that I’ve worn have made me feel special in different ways, but fit is so much more important to me than wearing a designer brand. I’d rather find a really cheap dress and have it fit me.”

On what prom means to her: “I think prom is just about enjoying yourself. You shouldn’t have to worry about guys at all. It should just be about hanging out with your friends and having the best time you’ve ever had. And even if you don’t have the best time you’ve ever had, you’ll have plenty of good times in the future. I don’t think there has to be so much pressure put on this night. Just take it easy and have a positive attitude, and you’re going to have a great night either way.”

On finding a perfect prom date: “Guys don’t like girls that throw themselves at them. That’s something that I’ve learned. I feel like a lot of girls do things to get attention for a guy to notice them, but you don’t want to do the wrong things to get attention. A guy wants a classy girl who is smart and has goals — someone that he wouldn’t be afraid to bring home to his parents.”

I just love Victoria! She’s very smart and self-assured.

A new extended trailer for I Am Number Four hit the web before the holidays (sorry I missed it!)

Nine infants from planet Lorien have been sent to Earth to escape an invading army on their home planet. But that doesn’t deter the bounty hunter aliens who need to kill them and follow the tots to Earth. The kids are assigned numbers and must be killed in order. Number One, Two and Three are dead. Number Four is next.

Number Four is John Smith (Alex Pettyfer) a teenager living in Ohio. He’s on the run until he meets his first real love Sarah Hart (Dianna Agron) and decides it’s time to fight back.

Four is in theaters on February 18, 2011.

It’s time for Prom magazines already!

Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale is the cover for the 2011 issue of Seventeen’s Teen Prom magazine in a black and white floral patterned gown.

The 21 year old Hale spilled a little bit of a PLL teaser to the mag saying:

“I want people to find out about Ezra and Aria. I definitely want my friends to know. I can’t say a lot, but I think it would add a whole new twist if more people knew about their relationship.”

Go behind the scenes of Lucy’s cover photo shoot and hear what Hale had to say about her own prom experience in the video below.

Sucker Punch is gonna hit you with a one-two punch! Landing on the cover of Total Film for the January 2011 issue, SP is ready to roar in the coming year. The movie is a highly stylized, super charged way to show “the lengths we’re willing to go to in our minds to deal with a situation.”
