Jesse McCartney is headed back to TV.

The “Shake” singer has landed a part in the pilot Locke & Key, a family drama with supernatural elements based on the comic by Joe Hill (Stephen King’s son).

McCartney will be Ty, the oldest of the Locke children who all return to Keyhouse, the New England family mansion of their slain father, and with their mother, try to deal with an evil ghostly specter who haunts them.

The singer/actor will also get a chance to sing on the show as Ty is a musician.

FOX is expected to make a decision by May whether or not to produce the show for the 2011/2012 TV season.

A total sugar high will always be handy for Joe Jonas.

The singer received one of only four custom Skittles vending machines in the world. Jonas will have a lifetime supply of the rainbow colored confection and Skittles will refill whenever needed.

No money needed either – the machine is motion operated and customizable with Joe being able to record any message he wants to play when it’s activated.

Wintry scenes with snowmen and trees sprinkled with sparkling white snow are just some of the idealized holiday images Taylor Swift has conjured up for her Christmas cards. The “Speak Now” singer has a very successful line with American Greetings and these new card feature “joyous winter scenes, delicious holiday cookies and, of course, snow-covered Christmas trees,” according to a press release, as well as Taylor’s signature “heart hands” image.

The boxed sets of cards are in stores now.

Justin Bieber hit up the Fountain Studios in London on Sunday November 28th to perform for the popular British talent show X Factor. The 16 year-old singer gave a great performance of his hits “Somebody to Love” and “Baby.”

Twilight star Robert Pattinson has reportedly shunned an offer to model for Burberry, the venerable British fashion brand and house of accessories. The 24 year-old actor felt it would go against his artistic integrity to turn himself into the face of Burberry.

“Christopher (Bailey, designer for the line) and the Burberry team were desperate to sign Robert as the main person in their new campaign.

“It would grace all their stores worldwide and be in all the best ­publications. They went to ­Robert but he ­immediately, politely, turned them down.

“As far as Robert sees things he’s an actor by trade and that’s his art. He doesn’t want to start becoming a brand or anything.”

The deal would have made Pattinson a reported $1.6 million dollars if he signed on the dotted line and he would’ve joined up with his former Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire costar Emma Watson.

Robert is currently in Brazil with Breaking Dawn costar Kristen Stewart filming the honeymoon scene (see photos of the two here.) The two are scheduled to return to Louisiana to continue work on the final two chapters of The Twilight Saga next week.

No Ordinary Family is back this week on ABC and Tuesday the show gets a Twilight star added to the supernatural mix. Jackson Rathbone steps into the role of Trent as Daphne (Kay Panabaker) tries to help him deal with a robbery at Trent’s family home.

When Stephanie’s (Julie Benz) hard-to-please parents, Barbara (Cybill Shepherd) and Allan Crane, pay an unexpected visit, the Powells must curb the use of their powers for fear of giving away their secret. But Barbara and Allan begin to suspect that something’s awry when they witness some strange behavior.

Meanwhile, when friend Trent Stafford (Rathbone) and his parents are the victims of a home invasion, Daphne (Panabaker) uses her abilities to help Jim (Michael Chiklis) try to track down the thugs responsible for the violent act.

Check out the sneak peek video below and catch Jackson on episode 1.06 premiering Tuesday, November 9th at 8PM on ABC . Read more »

Australian magazine Dolly touts Taylor Swift on the cover of the October 2010 issue. The “Mine” singer is cute in her navy striped dress.

Swift is getting ready for the release of her album Speak Now on October 25th and tells MTV about the writing process for her new songs:

“For me, I write everything that I live, so you’ve got to give yourself a little bit of time to live a lot of things so you can write about a lot of things. And my only option is to write about what I’ve been through and what I’ve lived. So thankfully, in the past two years, I’ve experienced a lot of things that I’ve been dying to write about and a lot of things that I wanted to say in the moment that I didn’t,” she said.

Check out the scans from Taylor’s interview in Japan’s INRock magazine too. Great new photos from the cover (above) and the scan (below.) Enjoy!

Jackson Rathbone‘s latest movie effort, Girlfriend premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this week and earned high marks from critics and fans alike.

The story revolves around Evan (Evan Sneider) a young man with Down’s Syndrome, who inherits a large sum of money and has long had a crush on Candy (Shannon Woodward) who finds herself in trouble financially. When Candy needs money because her lousy ex Russ (Rathbone) isn’t making his payment, Evan gives her what she needs to keep from being evicted. Evan wants Candy as his girlfriend but Candy is juggling the ex and a married boyfriend. Money and unrequited love are generally a bad mix.

In the behind-the-scenes clip below, Russ gets into a fight with Kenny (Jerad Anderson, also in the band 100 Monkeys with Jackson.) The official trailer is below as well.
