Hi Everyone! We just updated our blog space - it’s even better now! -
but you may notice we haven’t posted all of your comments from
earlier posts yet. Don’t worry, we’ll get them up as soon as
possible. In the meantime, the Daily Dish will continue to be your
source for the best news about your favorite celebrities.
Hey guys, I’ve got so much to tell you today. First of all, how CUTE does Daniel Radcliffe look in this photo from the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix? All I can say is, this movie is definitely going to rule. I can’t wait to see the new movie, but I’m even more excited to share with you my experience VISITING the set of the movie. Oh yeah, I got an exclusive tour of the set and even interviews with the cast - including Daniel and Rupert Grint. You’re going to have to wait and read all about it in upcoming issues of BOP and Tiger Beat.
I’ve also been getting lots of responses for Zac Efron’s new hair. Some of you love the dark locks, while others prefer a lighter-haired Zac. I’m going to choose the best comments and get them published in the May issue of Tiger Beat. You have to pick up a copy when it goes on sale March 27, 2007, and see if yours made the cut. Hey, keep those comments coming because I love to read everything you have to say!
I’ve also got exciting news from the set of Hannah Montana. You have to read about my day with Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, Mitchel Musso and guest star Jesse McCartney. You will only read about it on this blog, so keep checking back. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the BOP and Tiger Beat site because there are tons of celeb facts, news, games, and videos that will keep you entertained for hours!
Finally, can I just say how thrilled I am to celebrate the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of High School Musical tomorrow? Yes, the movie has been on for a year now, can you believe it? You have to let me know what you and your friends are doing to celebrate it…an HSM marathon weekend, perhaps? Tell me all about it
OMG! I got to see Justin Timberlake perform at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. It was the best concert I’ve ever been to (I’m still waiting for the High School Musical concert in two weeks). I got VIP floor passes in an exclusive lounge right in front of JT. I got to rest my arms on the edge of the stage and when Justin came over to us, I even got to touch him! I could even see the sweat on his forehead. He put on a great show singing all my favorite songs like “SexyBack” and “My Love,” but my absolute favorite number was “What Goes Around” because Justin took a break from all his amazing dancing to sit down at the piano. He is so talented, and I had no idea he played piano and guitar. And guess who I was next to in the VIP lounge? Justin’s good friend and “Icebox” singer Omarion! He was singing along to all of Justin’s songs just like me. What a memorable night…
Leave me a comment with your most memorable concert experience. Did you get to go backstage and meet your favorite singer or band? I wanna know all about it, so don’t leave out any details!
I’m so excited for the premiere of American Idol: Season 6 tonight at 8 pm on FOX. There’s a two-hour episode tonight, and another two hours tomorrow. Can you handle all the auditions - good and bad? Of course you can. So, who is your favorite Idol of all time? Is it Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood? Is it Taylor Hicks?
I also want to know what song(s) you would sing, if you had the chance to audition for Simon, Randy, and Paula. Leave me a comment with your picks.
I had a super fun weekend, hanging out with Emily Osment, Brenda Song, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, and many others at a party for ABC Networks in Pasadena, California. Okay, when I arrived at the Tiger Beat and BOP offices today, the buzz was all about Zac Efron’s new hair style! It looks like he lightened his hair, now that filming for Hairspray has wrapped.
What do YOU think about Zac’s look now? Do you like his hair light or dark? Leave me a comment with your thoughts.
I know you’ve been waiting to see Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End, so I gave the folks at Disney a call to give us a little sneak peek into the third movie. Here are new photos of Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley, and the rest of the Pirates cast. Where’s Orlando Bloom, you ask? Well, I’m working on that. In the meantime, enjoy these photos and let me know what you think!

PS: Are you going to check out Corbin Bleu’s movie Jump In on Disney Channel? It premieres tonight. I had a chat with Corbin this morning, and he’s totally excited. He’ll be in the middle of the HSM concert, so he can’t throw a viewing party. Anyway, I’d love to know what you thought about the movie - and, of course, Corbin - so leave me a comment with your Jump In movie review
I’m not even kidding about this secret that I uncovered about High School Musical 2. The creators of the sequel want you, yes - YOU, to help them make the movie. OMG, could anything be cooler than that? Here’s how you can tell them what and what not to put in HSM 2:
Beginning tomorrow, January 12, and ending on January 31, you can log on to www.DisneyChannel.com/HighSchoolMusical and click on the “High School Musical: Play Your Part” link. That will direct you to a poll, where you’ll answer 10 questions that will determine scenes, props, and events that will happen in HSM 2. Things like “What kind of sandwich will Troy pack for a picnic with Gabriella,” or “The type of dessert Zeke bakes for Sharpay.”
Wait, whoa, back up a second…Troy is taking Gab on a picnic??? Yes, that’s a new secret if I ever heard one! Oh, and it looks like Chad’s going to be wearing some fun message tees in the movie. I know that because you’ll be deciding what his tees are going to say! All the winning poll results will be revealed, you guessed it, when HSM 2 premieres this summer.
Did I hear you say you want more secrets? Well, Troy and the gang are out of school and headed to a Country Club founded by Sharpay’s grandfather. They will not only get summer jobs there, but also compete in the club’s annual mid summer night’s musical producation. I can’t wait!!!
So, have fun playing HSM 2 Director. Make sure you come back to my blog and leave me a comment with your poll choices, I’d love to read them all!
Tiger Beat and BOP to the top!
What’s up gals and guys? Everyone sticking to those New Year’s Resolutions?
Okay, so here’s the thing. The March issue of Tiger Beat doesn’t hit stores until January 23, but we are so unbelievably psyched for you guys to read it that we just had to spill a few secrets from inside! Besides being chock full of fab posters and awesome quizzes, we tracked down stars like Zac, Miley and Jesse so they could give you their best guy advice - just in time for Valentine’s Day.
And things got totally insane when The Jonas Brothers took over Tiger Beat! Seriously, they locked us out and it was like the mag suddenly became Jonas Beat! All jokes aside, they’re the biggest sweethearts ever and we had such a blast with them. They even invited the entire TB staff to come see their concert in Hollywood later that night! We took them up on their offer and rocked out Jonas-style.
So who’ve been your favorite stars to take over Tiger Beat? And which celeb(s) do you guys want to see next? We love you all and really do take your ideas and comments into consideration, so be sure to let us know!
OMG… last Friday was a total blast! Tiger Beat and BOP were invited to a super secret Fall Out Boy press conference and concert in Torrance, California. I went to get up close and personal with the mega famous rock group! The Infinity On High hotties are headlining the 2007 Honda Civic Tour (which may be coming your way soon) and wanted to invite some very special people to share the news.
When I arrived at the secret location, I was given a VIP badge and lead inside to a roped off area. Guess where it was? Right in front of the stage! I almost died from excitement. When FOB took the stage I could barely contain myself. Patrick Stump’s voice was amazing as he belted out the bands newest single “This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race.” I don’t think any band could have topped them at that moment. After playing “Dance, Dance” and “Sugar We’re Goin’ Down,” the guys revealed a one-of-a-kind Fall Out Boy Customized Honda Civic that will be given away to one lucky fan.
Oh, and guess what else happened? Pete Wentz threw a guitar pick into the crowd and I CAUGHT IT. Talk about luck! I couldn’t believe I was standing so close to the guys! Had I reached out my hand I could have touched Pete’s shoe! They were super sweet, and Pete even looked right at me so I could snap photos for you guys.
Ummm could they get any hotter? The guys never stop rocking. After a quick Q&A the guys had to hop on their bus and head to the show they were playing in a just a few hours. I can’t wait to see them again. Hope to see you at their next show!
I also took a video of FOB performing their hit “Dance, Dance,” which you will only see on this blog. I’ll have it up for you guys soon. In the meantime, leave me a comment and tell me what you think!
