“We bonded like glue,” Austin tells JJJexclusively.
Brandon added on that note, “We moved into a house together, hung out, went to movies and just go on really well. It just worked!”
However, it wasn’t without its’ challenges.
“The first 3 months living together and just getting used to it…” Edwin remembers, “If you put any group of guys together you’re going to have fights and stuff and we just learned more about each other and how we work together.”
They also had to used to sharing things too.
“Just getting used to what we were ok with and what we weren’t,” Brandon adds.
We’re glad it did work out — because the guys are about to get a huge boost at the Teen Choice Awards, where they’ll be performing next weekend.
If it’s one thing you know about Booker on Raven’s Home, it’s that he has confidence like no one else.
Issac Ryan Brown plays the son of Raven Baxter and Devon Carter, who just happens to get psychic visions just like his momma.
Booker takes advantages of his newfound powers plus his big and whimsical ideas to help him make sense of middle school and his life at home.
In real life though, if Issac had a power, it’d probably be some solar power related because he doesn’t love being in the dark.
“I hate when my mom turns all the lights off and her saying it’s wasted energy,” he tells us during a rapid fire interview. “So I use my solar power energy light that charges from the sun.”

“I really feel this video brings so much life to the song,” Lawson told us previously. “I hope it’ll be something that all the amazing people who’ve supported my journey in music enjoy.”
He adds about Sadie being a part of it all, “I’m extremely grateful to her for being a part. She was perfect for the role, and incredible to work with.”

Who else is completely stoked about the news that MTV is bringing TRL back?!
JJJ is so stoked to see the new revival of the show with hosts D.C. Young Fly, Erik Zachary, Tamara Dhia, Lawrence Jackson….and Amy Pham!
We caught up with Amy after the big announcement and she is possibly even more excited than us about it all.
“I still can’t believe that this is all really happening!” she shared. “I am completely floored and absolutely thankful that I get to be a part of the TRL reboot.”
Amy adds, “TRL was such an iconic series and I can’t wait to bring it back with my awesome co-hosts. It’s so surreal finally being able to share this news with everyone and I can’t wait to premiere on October 2nd! We are going to have the absolute most fun!!!”
If you don’t know, TRL is a daily live show, which will air from Times Square. The new edition will bring teen passion points to life, including digital happenings all over YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and Musical.ly.
Based on the bestselling book series by Lauren Kate, the film follows Lucinda “Luce” Price (Timlin), a strong-willed seventeen-year-old living a seemingly ordinary life until she is accused of a crime she didn’t commit. Sent off to the imposing Sword & Cross reform school, Luce finds herself being courted by two young men to whom she feels oddly connected.
Isolated and haunted by strange visions, Luce begins to unravel the secrets of her past and discovers the two men are fallen angels, competing for her love for centuries. Luce must choose where her feelings lie, pitting Heaven against Hell in an epic battle over true love.
Fallen will be out on September 8th, on Digital, August 8th and on Blu-ray and DVD October 10th.

You might’ve not known it at the time, but Sophia actually makes history as one of only four former title holders to be of Latina descent and the first in 10 years.
“Most of the responses have been amazing,” Sophia told JJJ in an interview this week about her heritage. “A lot of them have been commenting on my ethnicity and saying ‘We’re so happy you’re Latina’.”
She adds, “I think that goes to show how important diversity is and how needed it is in our society today. Little girls and everyone alike wants to see people and public figures that represent them and who look like them.
“I’m very glad I can be that person for them.”
So are we Sophia!
Stay tuned for more about Miss Teen USA 2017Sophia on JJJ soon!
