Hey J-14ers,

ABC Family's Greek is back for a new semester, and I couldn't be more excited! When last night's season 4 premiere started off with the ZBZ sisters burying something suspicious in the woods, clad in fairy tale princess attire, I knew it was going to be an interesting episode -- and I was not disappointed!

Cyprus-Rhodes University is the type of college that anyone would want to go to. Between relationship drama, friendship betrayals, and yes, even arson, there's never a dull moment! Reunited couple Cappie and Casey already went through a rough patch last night but resolution wasn't far away after they had a much-needed talk. Good thing, because I'm so happy they got back together -- I was never really a fan of Casey's ex, Omega Chi president Evan!

But that wasn't the only drama! Rebecca and Evan continue down a very bumpy road declaring that they're just friends until they almost kiss -- but then Rebecca spots Evan staring at Cappie and Casey across the dance floor! Ouch. Calvin and Grant find love though I predict much more conflict with them in the future. Ashleigh still can't find a good guy, and Rusty beat Dale for a scholarship (awkward for those roomies!).

And did I mention that the ZBZ's found out that they were guilty for lighting a candle that burnt down the Gamma Psi house? And the semester has only just begun! Will the ZBZ's get caught for setting the Gamma Psi's house on fire? Secrets don't last long at this chool (especially since Casey lost her tiara in the woods while discarding the arson evidence!)

I can't wait for next week's episode!

Tell me - are you guys tuning in to Greek?

J-14 was SO lucky to be one of the few invited to go ice skating recently with The Secret Life of the American Teenager stars Shailene Woodley, Ken Baumann, and Francia Raisa at the Rockefeller Center ice skating rink in NYC. Since everyone was decked out in their finest (and warmest!) holiday attire, we had to ask the stars their favorite holiday memory:

The new season of Secret Life premieres January 4 at 8 pm on ABC Family!

What is your favorite holiday memory?

Good news The Secret Life of the American Teenager and Make It or Break It fans! The shows will premiere one week earlier than originally announced -- now on Monday, January 4 on ABC Family.

And now joining them will be Greek, so it'll be three original new ABC Family shows all back to back (to back!).

Which of these shows do you watch the most?

Hey J-14ers!

I'll admit it - I'm obsessed. I don't just catch Greek every week, I DVR it so I can rewatch ibecause there's nothing better than Ashleigh's crazy fashions, Rusty's 'can't-catch-a-break' girl drama, or the Cappie-Casey-Evan love triangle. Plus it's hilarious.

And tonight's mid-season finale, "Friend or Foe," looks so good! I've always been Team Casey & Cappie, so I hope they're officially back together after last week's kiss. And what's up with Cappie and Evan? I definitely spotted cops in the preview which doesn't look promising for their rekindled friendship. As much as I want to find all that out (trust me, I'm so counting down to 9 p.m.!), I'm also really sad because that means no more new episodes of Greek until January!

It's okay though, because High School Musical 3's Olesya Rulin is back for her guest-starring role as one of the Zeta Beta Zeta pledges, and she's choreographing a dance routine for the ZBZ house -- how HSM of her!

Check out the Greek mid-season finale this Monday, November 2, at 9/8 central on ABC Family, then head back to j-14.com and let me know what you think!

Are you as excited to find out about Casey and Cappie as I am?

Scott Michael Foster plays the always scheming Cappie on ABC Family's Greek, the Kappa Tau president known for his many majors and tons of hilarious plans -- plus he's quite the girl magnet! J-14 talked to Scott about the upcoming season of Greek will be like, his old co-star Jesse McCartney, and what he really thinks about his castmates! Look for even more of Scott when Season 3 of Greek premieres on Monday, August 31, on ABC Family!

J-14: What can we expect in Season 3 of Greek?
Scott Michael Foster: Without giving too much away, we left off [season 2] with the end of the world party, and so it's the whole Cappie and Casey thing -- what's gonna happen there. Cappie was on top of the roof wondering what he should do. We literally pick up right where we left off, and it's the next day. There's things that you have to do to figure out what you want, and so that sort of starts off the whole season. It's definitely going to be a lot of fun, and we're touching on some new stuff. We're going to expand on Cappie being in a secret society and his relationship with Casey, so you'll see a lot more of that. You'll find out about Dale -- he has to struggle with his religion for awhile, like some college students do. That's actually a really cool story line.

J-14: Do you still keep in touch with Jesse McCartney, who guest-starred on Greek last season?
Scott: We were hanging out shortly after he got done with his stint. I went to go see a couple of this shows, and we went and played pool with some other castmates. It was a lot of fun, but I know he's busy right now, so I haven't actually talked to him in awhile!

>J-14: What is your favorite behind-the-scenes memory from the show?
Scott: There's so many, it's hard to just pick! It's like going to college without the schoolwork, so you can imagine what that's like. It's so funny to go back when they make little blooper reels of the season and behind the scenes stuff. Those scenes they show in the DVD, that's exactly what it's like. It's a lot of fun. I can't even think of one thing.

J-14: Have you gotten into Twitter?
Scott: I have actually never been on Twitter. It's just like public IM site, right? I've heard it's the next big thing. There's like eight Scott Michael Foster Facebook pages, and I don't know how they do it, but a lot of people think so many of those sites are me. I'm like "Nope, that's not me!' Some are fans, and then some are actually impersonating me. It's weird to look on and see that other people are pretending to be you!

Let's play word association with your castmates. Jacob Zachar.
Scott: Gangster.
J-14: Spencer Grammer.
Scott: Sweetheart.
J-14: Paul James.
Scott: Pranskter.
J-14: Jake McDorman.
Scott: It's not one word, but pool hustler who always beats me!
J-14: Amber Stevens.
Scott: Singing.
J-14: Clark Duke.
Scott: Comedian.
J-14: Dilshad Vadsaria.
Scott: Rebecca because that's her character's name. She's really not [like her character]. She's actually very smart, mature, and well put-together.

Hey J-14ers,

I am all for enjoying the sunshine, but come 8 p.m., the daylight has pretty much peaced out. So what's a girl to do? Well, if you're like me, you can always check out summer TV. Sure it's full of lots of repeats (not so bad - I have a few missed One Tree Hill eps to catch up on), but there's also some awesome new TV on.

Secret Life of The American Teeanger's second season is on right now, as is the new hit Ten Things I Hate About You on ABC Family, and cable's got talent shows like So You Think You Can Dance? and America's Got Talent. In fact, AGT just happens to be one of Taylor Swift's fave shows.

So tell me - what shows have you gotten totally into this summer? Are you into the talent shows or so over them? And are there any new shows you're super excited to see premiere in the fall?

J-14 was psyched to meet up with Greek's Amber Stevens out in Los Angeles, and not just because we talked about her character, Ashley, or the awesome, bold clothes she gets to wear on the show -- we had some major girl talk about boys, too! And lucky for Greek fans, she gave us some good news about ZBZ's hasher, Fisher -- who Amber just happens to lock lips with on the show. "He'll stick around for awhile," Amber dishes. "He's very, very cute." Sweet! Stay tuned for an exclusive Q & A with Amber, but for now, check out this video she made just for J-14 readers! Greek airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC Family.

Watch the season 2 preview for The Secret Life Of The American Teenager below. Are you excited? What do you hope happens?

J-14 hung out with Greek star Spencer Grammer in New York City where she spilled about the show's guest stars (including Jesse McCartney and Lauren Conrad!), mean girls, and Rob Pattinson!

J-14: Last season ended with your character Casey dreaming about Lauren Conrad from The Hills -- what was it like having her on the show?
Spencer: She did such a great job and learned her lines really well. She was like, "I'm kind of nervous about learning the lines." But she did great! She should totally be an actress -- she was awesome! I've seen her a few times out and she's always so gracious and wonderful -- and gives big hugs! She's not in this current season, but we're shooting another 20 episodes, so L.C. might be back!

J-14: And Jesse McCartney is on the show now -- what's he been like?
Spencer: He's a big star. His music is huge! He wrote "Bleeding Love." Isn't that crazy? He's just unbelievably talented to be able to do all of the things that he does. On set, he was super cool and chill. I didn't have any scenes with him unfortunately because he's in the boys' storyline. He plays a rushee that all of the fraternities are trying to recruit.

J-14: Did you ever have to deal with mean girls in school, the same way Casey has to deal with in the sorority?
Spencer: Of course I did. Girls would always say mean things about me and call me different names because I've always been a tomboy -- I'd play football with the boys during lunch and girls don't like that at all! But I was always active like I've always been like that. I surf and snowboard -- that's just who I am. You just pretend they don't say anything mean about you. Words can never hurt me! So you just let it roll off. People who talk meanly about you are bored. Why waste your time?

J-14: Greek took the timeslot back of The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Do the casts hang out?
Spencer: I've been at the same party as the cast, but haven't officially introduced myself and they haven't really introduced themselves to me. You know where you do that dance? But we should have a big party together. I think they shoot on the same lot as us but we never like get out of the basement. We literally shoot in this basement that used to be a parking garage -- and we're stuck in this basement like the world doesn't exist outside of there. It's like dark and there aren't any windows. That's where we live for like six months a year!

J-14: Finally, random question: Twilight or Harry Potter?
Spencer: I'm a Harry Potter fan -- books and movie. [Rob Pattinson] was cute in them but then his character died. It was sad. But he looks unreal because he's so attractive. He's almost not human -- he's so beautiful! He was so well cast as Cedric Diggory and now Twilight -- everyone's obsessed with him! I haven't read all the Twilight books -- I sort of read the first book. I love Kristen Stewart -- she's great. I always thought she was a really talented actress. I saw her in an indie film before Into The Wild. I'm watching it and I'm like, "Oh, she's going to be a big star -- who is she?" And now here she is -- she's in Twilight!

Watch her shout out video here!
