It seems like every week Elena finds a way to get under my skin. When Damon and Klaus are evil, it’s hot, welcoming. When Elena’s sassy, it makes me want to jump through the screen and snap her neck. After weeks of the Salvatore brothers trying everything they could, we see their hard work pay off, find out there’s a lot in store for Katherine, question Rebekah’s intentions, and continue to wonder how Caroline’s not dead from stress in the latest episode of "The Vampire Diaries," "She’s Come Undone."

Like a gaggle of stormtroopers overtaking a Rebel transport, “Star Wars” fans have highjacked May the 4th as their very own high holiday. Some may be celebrating by baking a batch of Wookiee cookies, while others might be spiking their Yoda soda with a lightspeedy liquor. Actor Anthony Daniels, who played the most famous protocol droid in the universe in the “Star Wars” films, will be commemorating the day in a decidedly low key manner. The human behind C-3PO, who says he gets a call to reprise his role in various “Star Wars”-related projects “every other month” or so, will be having his own brand of “fun” on cuatro de Mayo.

Adult Swim's new incredibly funny, live-action series, "Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell," from "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" creator Dave Willis and "Squidbillies" writer Chris 'Casper' Kelly tells the story of a Gary, a middle-management demon working in the corporate hell that is...Hell. The series follows the grief of Gary as he struggles with his overbearing boss (Satan), his kiss-up intern (Claude), and his mounting self-doubt and utter feeling of meaningfulness. All while, ya know, being in Hell. I chatted with "Your Pretty Face" stars Henry Zebrowski (Gary), Craig Rowin (Claude), and Matt Servitto (Satan) about their roles, being covered head-to-toe in red makeup, and more!

While other little girls and boys had teen idols and the latest Sports Illustrated covers on their walls, your décor was from a galaxy far, far away, wasn't it? Classmates never understood why you continuously gave out "Star Wars" Valentine’s, when obviously you were just hoping your crush would share the love and return the sentiment with a simple, “Like you, I do.” You may or may not have found someone to share your Empire with though, because in the back of your mind, no one could come close to being as perfect as your favorite "Star Wars" character. Let’s admit it; most of us have fantasized about spending a night with Darth Vader, our wedding to Yoda, and seeing the Princess Leia in that famous bikini. In honor of "Star Wars Day," the following are some of the most crush-worthy characters and the reasons why they continue to be #1 in many of our hearts.

Wednesday marked the release of the fourth and final installment in Marvel's Infinite Comics prequels to its new "Guardians of the Galaxy" series, each one focusing on a specific member of the team, and all written by Brian Michael Bendis. The newest one focuses on tree-like hero Groot, with previous installments centering on Gamora, Rocket Raccoon and Drax the Destroyer.
Starlord didn't need a introductory comic, I guess.

The finale is approaching and the writers of "Arrow" aren’t making the idea of months without Oliver Queen easier to handle. I mean, I could’ve walked away for the Summer feeling okay with life, but then, in “The Undertaking,” too many secrets were revealed! We need to tie up these loose ends ASAP!
You can check out every detail of this week’s episode, including a small appearance from Tommy (thank goodness), no Roy (sad times) and Walter (excuse me…?), over on MTV Splash Page. I’m going to dedicate the rest of this recap to Oliver’s commitment issues, Felicity’s shining moments, and Moira possibly ending up on the infamous list.

The hilarious Kristen Schaal has been voicing "Bob's Burgers'" (our favorite animated show of 2012) best character, Louise to startling success since the series debuted in 2011. Fans immediately embraced Louise for her unique (and sightly sinister) moral code and amazing bunny ear hat that she clings to more than "Peanuts'" Linus clings to his creepy blanket. But how much of Louise is actually based on Schaal? Sure she's got that patented voice, and she looks a bit like the cartoon character, but are Schaal and Louise one and the same?
Based on the below photo, I'd say that's an affirmative.
