So, I’ve been getting some dish on Bratz: The Movie. It’s a live-action (meaning real actors, not animated) movie based on the dolls. Four girls - Jade, Sasha, Cloe and Yasmin - start high school as BFFs but they become separated by the different cliques they meet. The girls eventually realize that it’s better to be friends than enemies and they start to form a new group: the Bratz. I wanna know what YOU think. Are you going to come out and watch Bratz: The Movie when it comes out August 3rd?

Oh my gosh, you guys! Yesterday was so, so unbelievably fun. I’m not sure if you remember, but back in March, I was invited to the American Idol Top 12 party. I had such a blast meeting all of the contestants, so I can’t tell you how cool it was to reunite with them last night and see how far they’ve come! Seriously though, what a night. From Gwen Stefani to Kelly Clarkson to Green Day (Okay, not even I knew that Green Day would be performing!), it was definitely my favorite Idol finale thus far. But enough about the actual show - let me spill some of the secrets I caught from backstage!

You might not have seen him on TV, but which self-proclaimed celeb Idol fan was there in the audience to watch the finale? I’ll give you a hint…his name rhymes with “back” and he’s been on every single Tiger Beat and BOP cover this past year…That’s right, ladies. ZAC EFRON WAS THERE! Let me tell you, his hair is growing back to his signature Troy cut, and he’s looking better than ever. I wonder if he got to catch up with Sanjaya? Last month, the two cuties rocked the red carpet together in Washington DC.

How cool was Blake Lewis’s performance with Doug E. Fresh? You might not know this, but they call him “The Human Beatbox” for a reason. He’s actually one of the earliest beatboxers and Blake told me that he didn’t even mind losing last night because he was so psyched about performing with one of his all-time heroes! It’d kind of be like you performing with Miley Cyrus or Nick Jonas in a few years Anyway, the way the performance came to be is pretty neat. See, Doug E. Fresh is tight with Akon, so he came along to hang with Akon and Gwen Stefani when they were rehearsing for their live performance of “The Sweet Escape.” Blake and Doug E. started beatboxing together, not knowing that the producers were watching. The producers were so impressed that they told them they had to do it again for the finale! And get this – the beatboxing you saw was totally freestyle. Pretty cool, huh!?

Now I’m sure you’re all dying to know what Blake whispered in Jordin Sparks’s ear just before Ryan announced the winner. He told me that he said, “I love you. If comes down to me singing this last song, will you do a duet with me?” Aww! Blake even went on to say that he wanted to wear a “Vote for Jordin” shirt on Tuesday, but the producers wouldn’t let him! Now that’s a team player.

Speaking of Jordin, don’t you love her? I can’t believe she’s only 17. She told me that throughout the competition, she’s still been doing school (three hours a day) and that it’s kept her pretty grounded. She also told me that she was psyched because today is her last day of school! Did you know she’s been a huge Idol fan since the very first season? After Kelly Clarkson won in 2002, she looked up at her mom and said, “Mom, I want to do that someday!” And look at her now. See, dreams do come true - and if you believe in yourself, anything is possible!

Have you been waiting patiently for new music from Aly and AJ? Well, their new single, “Potential Breakup Song,” is being played on Radio Disney now. It’s included in the girls’ new album Insomniatic. That album will be in stores July 10th! I have a little secret. Two of the songs off the album are titled “Bullseye” and “Like Whoa.” I will have full album info (with all the songs) plus Aly and AJ’s summer tour info for you guys soon!

…RIGHT NOW! This has got to be one of the coolest things that BOP and Tiger Beat have sent me to. I am backstage at the show and waiting (along with the rest of America) to see who will be crowned the new American Idol! You guys, it’s still neck and neck between Blake Lewis and Jordin Sparks. They both look fab though! I’m sure they’re just glad the competition is over. What a great season, huh? Well, I will have FULL REPORT just for you tomorrow. I’ve been talking to some celebs and I can guarantee that there are some awesomely crazy surprises in store for you!

Okay guys, I enjoyed this season of American Idol so much because two of YOUR FAVORITES made it to the finals! Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis will perform TONIGHT for the last time. A new Idol will be crowned tomorrow, so who’s it gonna be???

Jordin thinks Blake is a great singer and so cute, too!

Blake is a fan of his friend Jordin, who has been a strong competitor this season.

It’s so hard to decide, even they don’t know who’s gonna win. It’s all up to YOU. Who gets your vote? Tell me

You guys, I’m so excited about this news. The first song off the High School Musical 2 soundtrack is going to premiere this week! Radio Disney will play “What Time Is It” from HSM 2 this Friday, May 25, at 8:00 a.m. I’m gonna tune in for sure, will you?

I’ve heard a preview of “What Time Is It” and it features HSM 2 stars Zac, Vanessa, Ashley, Corbin, Lucas and Monique. The song is supposed to open the movie, after the school bell rings the start of the Wildcats’ summer vacation! You can also buy the CD single for “What Time Is It” in stores on July 17 and the entire HSM 2 soundtrack on August 14.
