Your song No Average Angel has had great success on Radio Disney. You also recently had your Radio Disney Takeover. Tell us how is feels to be a Radio Disney Superstar. No Average Angel has been a very special song to me, mainly because of it's message. I'm so glad the fans connected with it as well. Every week I am so excited to see where it lands. I have to thank the most amazing fans. I am so grateful. Hurry & Save Me is a favorite song from my CD. I hope to hear on Radio Disney too one day. It's a really catchy dance tune that you can't get out of your head !

My mom doesn’t worry that I’ll wear things that are too crazy. Still, I love clothes and talking about boys so I have to admit I’m a girly-girl. I like Banana Republic and I love Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters.”   Loving a good read “I’m a hopeless romantic when it comes to books. I love cheesy, romantic books because it’s stuff that probably will never happen, but it’s cute. I like Dear John by Nicholas Sparks — it’s very sweet.”       On her best friend Demi Lovato  “Demi and I are constantly surrounded by adults. On tour and on our shows we are forced to be mature. So when we ...

Hugh Dancy Q&A
 Hugh Dancy Q&A    “Confessions of a Shopaholic”   Question: How tough was it to do the dance sequence in “Confessions of a Shopaholic”? Hugh Dancy: We didn’t spend ages over it. It was one night of filming it. It was quite technical. But we spent the night before choreographing the dance. Initially it was meant to be fairly straightforward and it developed because we were making each other laugh a lot.   Question: Before you made his movie how aware had you been of the Shopaholic novels? Hugh Dancy: It was peripheral. I had seen posters and people reading the books on the tube. I had never read them. Like a lot of people I had a pretty preconceived idea about what ‘chick lit’ was and that it was not for me. PJ Hogan, the director, gave me the first three books and then I had to completely re-write my preconceptions. I realized anything that sells that many books is a good book. It is well written, it is not a mistake. What I love most about the boo...

ISLA FISHER Q&A
In anticipation of the June 23rd release of CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC on Blu-ray and DVD, we present you with this Isla Fisher Q&A! What was her most ridiculous purchase? Did she really request 5” stilettos for the character of Rebecca? Find out these answers and more!  QUESTION: Are you a Shopaholic? ISLA FISHER: No I am not a Shopaholic, I don’t shop very well at all. I tend to buy things which end up not being quite right – whether it is a clothing item that does not match anything in my wardrobe, or some cooking apparatus that is utterly useless. I am just not that good at it. QUESTION: Are you an impulse buyer? ISLA FISHER: I usually go into a store with a mission. My idea of a fun thing to do would not be to go to a mall and shopping. QUESTION: In what way did you identify with the character in “Confessions of a Shopaholic”? ISLA FISHER: I identified with her in the sense that I would like to think that I am optimistic and energetic like she is. I would also like...

I decided it would be too hard to find someone to always play a guitar with me, so I gave it a shot myself. I loved it ever since I firs...

Interview with The Urgency
The Urgency Tyler Gurwicz - vocals Ian Molla - guitars Kevin Coffrin - bass Guerin Blask - drums Ryan Siegel - guitars   Q: Can you please introduce yourself to our readers, and your role in the group? Ian Molla – Guitar Q: How did you get started in the music industry? SRP Records was the first to believe in us.  They’ve been there from the beginning.  In an industry that can be so overwhelming, their guidance has been priceless.  Another extremely important person to us is David Bendeth.  We met David in the fall ‘07 and he helped us take it all to the next level.  After recording several songs at his studio, The House of Loud, we started getting strong attention from record labels.  When shopping, we got a great vibe from Mercury/IDJ and we ended up signing with them overnight.  I guess that’s when we were “officially” in the music industry. Q: How did you first come togeth...

This was the first time Corbin did a web interview. He really liked the experience and wants to do more. Speed of Light Corbin talks about Speed of Light, it's a different venture than his first album, and he wanted to make it different. He worked with Eric Hudson, and Brian Kennedy for the past year, everything was built from the ground up. Why was it called "Speed of Light" Because of the title track which sets the pace for the rest of the album. The title track has the electronic R&B vibe that he felt nailed the feel of the rest of the album. It a very fast pace, and a very cool concept. Favorite Songs from the Album Moments That Matter, Speed of Light, and Champion mean the most to him.
