The Secret Life of the American Teenager and Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family will have new company from a TV veteran. Raven Symone is joining the cable channel in the new pilot The Great State Of Georgia. The Cosby Show and That’s So Raven star is set to take on New York City as Georgia, a young woman headed to the Big Apple to make her performing dreams come true:

The project, from ABC Studios, centers on Georgia (Raven Symone), an exuberant curvy performer from the south who is trying to make it big as an actress in New York City. Also cast in the pilot is Brock Cuchna (Melrose Place) as Georgia’s Southern ex-boyfriend who, still madly in love with her, comes to New York to  bring her back home.

The show is still a ‘pilot’ which means lots of changes could be made before (and if) it finally airs. Let’s hope Raven gets back to series TV.

The Vampire Diaries premiered this week on the CW Network and now website The Smoking Gun has uncovered the arrest of the young stars of the new series. On August 22nd, actresses Nina Dobrev, Candice Accola, Kayla Ewell and Sara Canning were arrested outside Atlanta, Georgia on charges of disorderly conduct as motorists phoned in reporting the group hanging from Rumble Road Bridge.

According to a Monroe County Sheriff’s Office report, the actresses were being shot by photographer Tyler Shields, whose digital cameras were inspected by a cop who discovered numerous images showing “the females hanging, sitting and straddling the bridge.” One photo, a deputy noted, “even showed one female being held by her legs by the other females, as if they were trying to throw her over.”

The four were arrested along with another actress, Krystal Vayda and photographer Tyler Shields who was taking photos of the group. Whatever photo shoot this was for, it was poor planning on the part of the photog (or maybe it’s genius publicity!) Shields paid the $4000 fine and all were released.

Nice mugshots – really.

Who watched TVD? I enjoyed it – hopefully they will spend more money on special effects in the next episodes but otherwise it was a pretty good start. Besides, it has Ian Somerhalder in it.

A 53 year old Georgia man who was previously arrested for stalking Disney star Miley Cyrus has the execs at the mouse channel so concerned for her welfare, they’ve warned the Los Angeles Police Department about his obsessive behavior. After being arrested on June 23rd for disorderly conduct on Tybee Island, where Miley has been filming ‘The Last Song’ the Georgia authorities are releasing the very disturbing statements Mark McLeod gave regarding Cyrus.

According to the police report, McLeod claimed he was “great friends with Miley” — and that Miley had “told him to come see her today.”

Cops say McLeod also said, “I will f***ing be with Miley … we’re supposed to be together and [the cops] couldn’t stop it.”

Here’s the creepiest part — cops say McLeod claimed Miley sent him “secret messages” on her television show directed only to him and that McLeod also boasted about having “thousands of pictures and letters to Miley on his computer.”

This man is mentally unstable and it’s unsettling to hear his thoughts on his imagined relationship with the teenager. Because she lives in Los Angeles, the LA police are aware of him as a precautionary measure. He is due in court in Georgia on September 1st.

Ugh. Stay safe Miley!
