Stephanie's Selfless Mission

Stephanie Pratt left the hills yesterday, November 25, to give back at the Los Angeles Mission, downtown. Here Stephanie posed with the Los Angeles Spark’s mascot.

Stephanie joined other celebs like Corbin Bleu, Olesya Rulin, Kayla Ewell and Debby Ryan in greeting thousand of people and handing out plates of turkey and its usual accompaniers.

After seeing Stephanie take advantage of the perks of celebrity several times, gladly receiving free things she could surely pay for, it’s nice to see her do something selfless!

Seems like Stephanie is trying to turn things around since her recent DUI arrest. But contrary to reports, a frustrated Stephanie tweeted that she is not in rehab. “I’m turning off my phone-this is ridiculous pls stop telling me where I am. I’m not in rehab for the 100th time. Gnight.”

Serving Up For the Holidays

Corbin Bleu and Debby Ryan along with Chase Ryan, Kayla Ewell, Stephanie Pratt and Olesya Rulin helped out at the LA Mission & Anne Douglas Center’s Thanksgiving Meal For The Homeless earlier this afternoon. These humble stars helped serve more than 3,000 meals to the homeless this year. So inspiring, keep up the good work guys!

This is the best album cover. Ever.

I saw it at Amoeba and wanted to take a picture and tweet it but then decided that finding a better one online was worth the wait. I couldn’t have found a better blog post to describe it.

What I'm gonna be doing this summer vacation.

Jeremy Shum — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:06:56 +0000

This summer, I will be… Finding my princess, fighting off the baddies, and saving her from the dragon!!!

Well, not really, I think the Phineas & Ferb opening title sequence (series from Disney XD Channel) just about sums it all up:

There’s 104 days of summer vacation
And school comes along just to end it
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spend it

Like maybe…

Building a rocket
Or fighting a mummy
Or climbing up the Eiffel Tower

Discovering something that doesn’t exist (Hey!)
Or giving a monkey a shower

Surfing tidal waves
Creating nanobots
Or locating Frankenstein’s brain (It’s over here!)

Finding a dodo bird
Painting a continent
Or driving your sister insane (Phineas!)

As you can see
There’s a whole lot of stuff to do
Before school starts this fall (Come on Perry)

So stick with us ’cause Phineas and Ferb
Are gonna do it all
So stick with us ’cause Phineas and Ferb are
Gonna do it all!
(Mom! Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!)

(Lyrics courtesy of this site)

Oh, and one more thing:

Dating Ashley Tisdale

She’s so funny on the series.

Let me see a cross-comparison of me and Ashley Tisdale:

From a fashionista perspective, the blonde does really offset my black hair really well =) And, we would have really hot kids **pouts his mouth**!

and his dad!

Hollywood Exclusive by Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith – Oct 12th, 2009

via

Twenty-year-old “High School Musical” cutie Corbin Bleu is more than glad that his character’s family in his new “Free Style” movie is biracial, just like his own family. He made a point of seeing to it that casting was done that way.

He tells us that, with himself and his father two of the producers on the feature, opening tomorrow (10/9), “It was one thing we definitely wanted to play to. So many times in films, you’ll have interracial kids, but they’ll still have two black parents. At this time, right now, where we are now, you’re seeing many more interracial families. So many people are mixing and it’s wonderful and that needs to be portrayed more in our films.”

Corbin notes that, being a producer, “This is the first time I got to take hold of some of the reins and I’d like to do more. I was involved in locations and casting and wardrobe and all that.”

Synopsis: (via)

In the film, Bleu takes center stage as Cale Bryant, a biracial, Pacific Northwest teen whose father left his mom, Jeanette (Penelope Ann Miller), years ago when Cale’s young sister Bailey (Madison Pettis) was born. Regardless, Cale’s a polite, well-raised young man who, when not busy at the electronics store, delivers pizzas, takes care of sis while Mom waitresses, and races alongside his bud Justin (Jesse Moss), dreaming of turning pro.

Cale briefly gets angry with his mom, who turns out to have known the whereabouts of the kids’ deserter dad (David Reivers, Bleu’s real-life father and a producer of this film), and suffers taunts from rich-boy rider Derek (Matt Bellefleur).

Free Style

gabtor — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 07:06:43 +0000

High School Musical’s Corbin Bleu trades in his dancing shoes for a helmet in this family film. In Free Style, young Cale (Bleu) gives his all in his effort to be on the Grand National motocross racing ream, while his mother (Penelope Ann Miller), sister (The Game Plan’s Madison Pettis), and girlfriend (Sandra Echeverria) cheer him on.

I Get Knocked Down But I Get Up Again

beautifulballad — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 21:46:59 +0000

Corbin Bleu talked to Shineon-Media.com about the cancellation of his CW show The Beautiful Life.

Sara Paxton, Corbin’s co-star, talked to Latina magazine about the cancellation, too. She attributed the show’s lack of a fan base to poor promotion. To read the whole interview go HERE. Sara, just a heads up, it’s best not to run your mouth about the cancellation of your television show and blame it on the network. It makes you look like a whiner. And no offense, this show kind of sucked anyways. You’re cute, I’m sure you’ll find another show, hopefully one that doesn’t rely on the crazy Mischa Barton to bring in the viewers.

The CW Screws Over TBL's Sara Paxton: I'm Stranded in NYC With 6 Month Lease, New Furniture and Blown Mind

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 01:03:25 +0000

In case you haven’t heard The CW wasted no time canning “The Beautiful Life: TBL” last Friday after dismal ratings. I was really kind of indifferent to it (the pilot was a’ight and I would MUCH rather “Melrose” go, but do we really need another show about beautiful people?), UNTIL I read this interview with Sara Paxton basically saying how the CW screwed over the entire cast and now they have no jobs or ways to get out of their NYC apartments which some of them probably can’t pay without a steady job.

So, please read on for the juicy details.

INTERVIEW:

You were effervescent and marvelous as the star of TBL. How do you feel about the CW’s decision to cancel your show so quickly?
We’re so shocked! I definitely think it’s unfair. The CW didn’t give our show a chance to succeed or fail. We had some amazing episodes coming up that we were all proud of, and the story lines were about to get really interesting, so we’re sad that no one will ever even see those! It’s unbelievable the way that they told us—we were all in the middle of work. I was sitting in the hair and makeup chair, and I’m getting my hair done just like a normal Friday—we were all excited for Friday. And all of a sudden, they got the call, and the producers had to make an announcement on set that we were done—that we were over! And I was sitting there in shock. I couldn’t believe that in the middle of work, the rug was pulled out beneath our feet. Immediately, I run over to Corbin’s [Bleu] room, and I’m like, ‘oh my God, oh my God!’ I was freaking out! And Corbin was shocked. Everyone was just devastated. It was horrible. Terrible.

ETA- if you are so inclined, you can sign the petition that Sara mentions here

You didn’t see this coming at all?
We were worried because our show didn’t get as much marketing as other shows. Everywhere you go in New York City, you see Melrose Place posters everywhere—I see Vampire Diaries everywhere. And CW, they just didn’t put any money into advertising for our show whatsoever. It was up to the cast to keep the show going, so we went to every red carpet, we talked about the show, we publicized, we did twitter, we did everything we could possibly do to get the word out about the show. We thought it was really worth it because we care about the show—we care about each other and we wanted to make it work. But if people don’t know that the show even exists, they’re not going to watch it.

Why do you feel they weren’t behind the show?
I have no idea. We wanted the same thing. We did the pilot, and when we saw the pilot, we were all so proud of it, and we really thought we had made something special. We’re a really talented group, and most of us have been working for a long time and have really good projects under our belts, and I just don’t understand why they would do this.

How do you feel about the CW’s decision not to air the five other episodes you’ve already filmed?
It’s a slap in the face! It’s almost like we were part of this family and now suddenly we’re dropped. I couldn’t even call the CW because they probably have my number on their caller ID and they’re like, ‘no don’t pick up, don’t pick up.’ It’s crazy. And oh my God, episodes three, four and five were going to be amazing. That’s what really sucks. You’ve got to have time to let a show get its legs and find an audience, especially when they’re putting zero dollars into advertising. And we were slowly going in that direction. Everyday I was getting emails from Japan and Brazil and the U.K from people who were buying the show on iTunes and were going nuts over it. And if they had just given it more time to really catch a fan base I think it could’ve been huge for the CW. I really think they missed out, and I really think they’re missing out on a huge opportunity for themselves.

And now they’re going to be airing Melrose Place in your place…
It’s hard because I don’t want to sound ungrateful for everything they have done for us, but I think especially since this happened Friday—it’s really hard for me not to be angry. I really don’t want to upset [CW President] Dawn Ostroff, because she is a really cool lady. I just don’t understand how they could do this.

Do you know how Executive Producer Ashton Kutcher feels about it?
I think he’s just as disappointed as all of us. This had his name on it, and it was his first scripted series. I don’t understand how they’ve given so many shows in the past a chance, and not ours. I mean why ours? Why us? It blows my mind. The saddest part for all of us is that we became friends beyond the show, and so we are sad that we don’t get to go into work everyday and have fun together. And honestly, we wanted people to just love the show. Everyday we came into work with a mission to do the best possible work we could do, and we did our jobs. It sucks that nobody can even see that. No one will even see the really cool things we did.

Do you have a message for the fans of the show that are devastated by this news?
Everyone that supported us—I know there’s a lot of people on Twitter who are really serious, and there’s a petition that has 8,000 signatures now—thank you so much for watching the show and for caring and believing in us. We really appreciate the fans and we are really thankful.

Do you know what your next project will be?
Are you kidding me? [Laughs]. We thought we were going to be here until December. Literally we packed up our lives from Los Angeles to New York. I spent two months and thousands of dollars without a paycheck moving to NY. And now they just say, ‘oh, peace, you’re done?’ We all signed 6 month leases, and now we all have to figure out how to get out of our leases, and I have to figure out how to get all my furniture back. I don’t know what to do with this NY furniture. We’re kind of stranded.

Personally I think it’s pathetic that they put all of this hype around “Melrose Place”, it gets a few more viewers than TBL and then they only keep “Melrose” because they’re too prideful to admit the fact that no one wants to see a reboot. And then as if it needs a bigger slap in the face, “Melrose” reruns will be airing in it’s place. Honestly, I hope it sinks below a million viewers before the season is over. I’m so sick of these stupid reboots and remakes–GET SOME ORIGINAL IDEAS, WRITERS!
