Thursday, August 4th marks the premiere of season four of "Jersey Shore," but MTV has been kind enough to give you a little bit of a sneak peek in the meantime. Remember that time that Snooki crashed her car in Italy because she was driving a stick and also she's a terrible driver? Yeah, that's what the clip shows. It's a short little thing (much like Snooki) but it's still just enough to give you an idea of the shenanigans in store for us when we see the crew take Italy by storm.

When Anna Paquin, aka Sookie Stackhouse from "True Blood," opened up about being bisexual back in 2010, it was surprising to many people. Paquin is currently married to her co-star Stephen Moyer (aka Bill Compton) and had just gotten engaged when she came out to the public. Not everyone was supportive, but Paquin is dead-set on changing that, according to a new interview with V Magazine.

Amy Poehler is pleased as pie about her show "Parks & Recreation" getting an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series, and couldn't be happier about her own nomination for Lead Actress, Comedy.

The film is rating a staggering 97% amongst critics over at Rotten Tomatoes. We asked Yidio readers who have seen the film already what they thought of the film. See what they had to say!

With Cheryl Cole ousted and Nicole Scherzinger in as a judge on the new "The X Factor," someone will have to take over Scherzinger's former judging position in NBC's "The Sing Off." And so, the game of reality judge musical chairs continues. So who is replacing Scherzinger on the a capella competition show? Here's a hint: she's not gonna write you a love song, but she'll sit in a chair and judge your singing ability.

A fan poll conducted by MTV has determined which character is the ultimate fan favorite in the "Harry Potter" universe...and who is it might surprise you! To call what MTV did a "poll" is a bit of an understatement. Really, it was more of a tournament, and they called it the "Harry Potter World Cup." The characters were pitted against each other in one-on-one matches in a bracket, with fans voting on each matchup.

Only one day remains until the U.S. release of the final installation of Harry Potter films, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," and even the most diehard fans are finding themselves in need of a little refresher.

In between, there have been seven films, and Warner Brothers has just released a trailer that wraps them all up into one massive synopsis. Watch "Harry Potter - A Look Back" here.
