Gaelan Connell: Nobody Knows I'm Cool Yet

Gaelan Connell: Nobody Knows I'm Cool Yet

Bandslam star Gaelan Connell gets silly with JustJaredJr.com‘s famous coasters recently in New York City.

JJJ had the chance to chat with the self-proclaimed dork and leading man of Bandslam. Check out what the 20-year-old actor had to say:

JJJ: Have you been recognized on the streets yet?
Gaelan Connell: I have not. One of the coolest things that happened was we left this screening in New York – I went to see [costar] Ryan Donahue – and this girl came up to the two of us afterward and was, like, “Nobody knows it yet, but you guys are so cool!” And I was, like, aww! That’s awesome. “But nobody knows it yet!”

JJJ: Did you play Rock Band and Guitar Hero before you got Bandslam?
GC: Yes, but this definitely helped because they had all these free things – merchandiiiise! Lisa [Kudrow] and I actually played a lot ’cause there’s a scene in the movie where we’re supposed to play but you totally put a picture of us playing it on your blog! Hopefully it’ll be in the deleted scenes.

I think it was because we were too good at it. Lisa and I practiced and we got to Expert. And she’s really competitive – she’d block the screen with the guitar and stuff – like, Mom! And then when we had to shoot it, the TV was off and all the crew guys were getting pissed, like, “Get it right!” and we were, like, “No, we’ve done it!” and nobody believes us. I’m adamant – Lisa and I were really good at it.

Stay tuned for more of our exclusive interview with Gaelan and go see Bandslam — out in theaters TODAY!

Jennifer Stone: LA Dodger Darling

Jennifer Stone catches one of JJJ‘s coasters as she gets ready to play in the LA Dodgers 51st Annual Hollywood Stars Celebrity Softball Game held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon (July 25).

The 16-year-old Wizards actress dished to JJJ about her softball playing days. She shared, “I used to play softball, but I’m a little rusty! I’m hoping it’s something (softball position) I’m familiar with. I’m familiar with catching, batting and the bases, so I think I’m covered. We’ll see.”

Jen joked, “They’ll end up giving me the one position I’m not comfortable with! It’s all about winning! I’m excited to play withJake [T. Austin] because I’ve never competed with him before. I’m also excited to play with Meatloaf! (JJJ Note: Jen was on the opposite team as Jake).

Tiffany Thornton: Born To Be A Cheerleader

Tiffany Thornton: Born To Be A Cheerleader

Tiffany Thornton shows off her pearly whites at the Radio Disney studios on Wednesday afternoon (April 15) in Burbank, Calif.

The Sonny With A Chance starlet answered some exclusive questions for JJJ about her upcoming DCOM, Hatching Pete, her dream vacation and how she loved 17 Again. Check it:

On having cheerleading experience before Hatching Pete: “Yes! I do have some. I did gymnastics and I’ve been a cheerleader my whole life basically. I remember when I was little, I would go to my step-sister’s games and she was a flag girl. I would have my own colored cheer costume for her games that I wore. I was born to be a cheerleader.”

On her favorite skit on Sonny With A Chance: “‘The Wicked Witch of the Web’ is my favorite. I got to be Dorothy and I used to watch that [The Wizard of Oz] with my dad when I was little and we would chop a cantaloupe in half — he’d get half and give me the other. We used to watch The Wizard of Oz and eat cantaloupe together. It was special.”

On if she liked 17 Again: “It was incredible. Zac [Efron] is so talented. Matthew Perry is amazing. Sterling [Knight] was so cute in the movie and Josie [Loren] was in it too. It’s neat to see my peers on the big screen and to be there to support them is great. It was freezing cold outside, but once I got [inside] I thawed out.”

On the last CD she bought: “Demi’s [Lovato] deluxe CD. Her voice is just incredible. I just can’t get enough of it. The CD is incredible. Everyone should go get it.”

On her dream vacation: “Anywhere with a beach. I love the beach. I skied when I was little, but I’m not a good cold weather person. I get really whiny and all I want to do is drink hot cocoa. I”m probably not that fun to be around. So, anywhere with a beach is where I want to go. Aruba — I’ve never been there, The Bahamas.”

On the funniest thing that happened on the set of Hatching Pete: “I don’t think anyone really saw it happen, but I tripped really hard core one day. It was over one of the cables and almost fell on my face. I caught myself on my hands and knees and I was looking around, no one saw. Later on, an extra came up to me and asked, ‘Hey, are you okay?’ I was like, ‘Yea, what’s up?’ She was like, ‘I saw you trip earlier.’ I was like, ‘Oh my gosh! I thought no one saw me!’”

Tiffany tweeted after her appearance on Radio Disney: “Just finished radio disney!! Loved it! talking to the fans was amazing! Hangin’ at the Disney building.”

Jason Earles: My Cats Are Crazy!

Jason Earles: My Cats Are Crazy!

Jason Earles takes a bite out of one of JustJaredJr.com’s coasters as he takes over Radio Disney on Wednesday afternoon (April 8).

The comedic actor chatted with host Ernie D and answered a few of JJJ‘s questions about Hannah, cats and his fave comedians. Check it:

On his favorite episode of Hannah Montana: “It changes from day to day, because there are so many cool ones. One of the episodes I really like is the one where Lily has a crush on Jackson because I think that happens a lot. You know if you have a sister who is younger than you, her friends will crush on you. It was actually a story that Emily [Osment] and I pitched to the writers and they took us up on it. The funniest part of that episode is in the beginning where Miley is having her dream and we’re [Emily and I] are on the beach and we turn to each other and are about to kiss. As soon as the take was over, we’re both like, ‘Ewww.’”

On his comedic inspiration: “I just try to roll with whatever is going on. Everyone on the show is funny in their own way. Like Billy [Ray Cyrus], sometimes gets crazy and starts improving and you have to roll with whatever he’s doing. Moises [Arias] is actually super funny. He comes up with a lot of random stuff on set. I just usually react to whatever is going on and it works out pretty good.”

On his favorite comedians: “I love The Office — Steve Carrell. Sometimes it’s physical comedy, sometimes it’s the way he delivers a line.”

On the top five songs on his iPod: “‘Nothing Man’ by Pearl Jam, ‘You’re Ex-Lover is Dead’ by Starz, ‘The Climb’ by Miley Cyrus, ‘Butterfly Fly Away’ by Miley too. I’m really into those two songs from the movie. The number one song would probably be ‘Trailer Trash’ by Modest Mouse. I have an eclectic mix.”

On the funniest things his two cats have done recently: “My two cats are sort of crazy. One of them is really pretty with long, fluffy hair named Presley. He’s the sort of cat who loves to look at but has this, ‘don’t touch me ever’ [persona]. Then there’s Timmy, who has this tiny head and great big, fat body. He’s really sweet and loves to hang out on you. They love to fight with each other and they love each other too. The funniest thing is when the really big one will walk up to the furry one and just lay down on top of him. He completely covers the fuzzy one. They will just like lay there like a cat sandwich.”

JustJaredJr.com Hannah Montana Screening!

JustJaredJr.com Hannah Montana Screening!

Costars Miley Cyrus, Lucas Till and Emily Osment attend JustJaredJr.com’s screening of Hannah Montana The Movie at the Regal E-Walk Stadium 13 in New York City’s Times Square on Tuesday (April 7).

Miley (in Alice+Olivia belted sweater jacket and Lia Sophia bangles) shared all about keeping “continuity” throughout the movie. She talked about how she loves to tan and how that disrupted the continuity of the film — some days she’d be darker than others!

Emily, 17, shared about how she wears so many rings and the costume designer wanted to use them for “continuity.” She wouldn’t give them up, so the scene where she’s picking clothes from a clothing rack, those aren’t really Emily‘s hands!

Lucas, 18, shared a funny story about Miley‘s jeans ripping while shooting one scene. They ripped from her calves all the way up her thighs!

To the 200 people who made it screening, hope you enjoyed it!!!! Sound off in the comments what your favorite scene was. For the rest of you, the movie comes out this Friday (April 10)!!!

Jennette McCurdy: 'Cancer is a Terrible Thing'

Jennette McCurdy: 'Cancer is a Terrible Thing'

Jennette McCurdy gives a big thumbs up to JJJ readers at the 2009 Kids’ Choice Awards last weekend (March 28) in Los Angeles.

The 16-year-old iCarly cutie dished to JJJ about her upcoming album, standing up to cancer, and pal David Archuleta. Check it:

On possible album names: “We’re probably gonna go with So Close or just a self-titled. It will be released on June 30th so, I’m really excited. There are about 10-14 tracks on it.”

On her favorite track on the album: “This is going to be a weird analogy. It’s like having all these different kids and you can’t choose between them. They all spark from different ideas and each one means so much to you in a different way. I hope everyone can find at least one song that means something to them.”

On the most sentimental song: “There’s one that was written for my friend Cody, who passed away recently from brain cancer. It was very hard.”

On her fight against cancer: “I am. I’m trying to really help his charity. It’s called the Cody Waters Foundation. You can find out about it at TheCodyWatersFoundation.com. Anything I can do to help cancer — my mom had cancer. Yea, it’s a terrible thing, so we have to get rid of it.”

On her favorite concert: “The David Archuleta concert. He’s a friend of mine, so I got to hang out backstage and it was great. His voice is like this flawness sheet of gorgeousness.”

On filming a music video for “So Close”: “I’m going to film one for ‘So Close’ coming up here soon. It should be in a couple of weeks and I get to help cast the guy. We’re brainstorming different concepts for it right now. We have like four storyboards. Trying to pick one is hard, a hard decision.”

On her favorite breakfast food: “I never have them, but I love brown cinnamon pop tarts or Special K cereal.”

On what show she’d love to guest star on: “Without a Trace. But I think it might be ending soon, or 10 Items or Less. If I could guest star on 10 Items or Less, I would freak out!”

Dylan & Cole Sprouse Interview -- JJJ Exclusive

Dylan & Cole Sprouse Interview -- JJJ Exclusive

Dylan and Cole Sprouse go crazy with JJJ‘s coasters at the World of Disney store in New York City last month.

The 16-year-old twins chatted with JustJaredJr.com about crazy rumors, what turns them off and their favorite props on set. Check it:

JJJ: What do you like to do when you’re hanging out off-set?

DS: Mini-golfing…but a lot of the time we don’t have too much time off.

JJJ: Have you had any embarrassing moments that happened during the summer?

DS: There’s always that one story of jumping into the pool and the shorts flying off.

Cole Sprouse (CS): That’s happened to me once, but luckily it was just me in the pool. I’m not really careful about it, but I don’t really care when something embarrassing happens. If it happens, it happens, and all you can do is shrug it off.
