On The Red Carpet With The Cheetah Girls
I grabbed my favorite Bollywood style purple tank top and headed to the El Capitan Theater on Hollywood Boulevard for "The Cheetah Girls" One World" premiere. The film, airing August 22nd on Disney Channel, was shot mostly in India and finds the girls competing for a part in a Bollywood musical. This is the first film without Raven Symone as part of the popular girl group known as The Cheetah Girls. Stars Sabrina Bryan, Kiely Williams and Adrienne Bailon remain as Dorinda, Aqua and Chanel.
Last night, the street was shut down on one side to make room for a huge blue carpet strewn with bright colored rose petals. The ninety-degree plus heat did not keep young fans away as they lined Hollywood's walk of fame for a glimpse at their favorite Cheetah.
As usual Disney Channel dragged out all their TV kids for a little cross promotion. We always joke about this how at every Disney event if they could they would bring out the janitor or the stagehand from "Hannah Montana" or "The Suite Life" and have you interview them. Of course, for my Disney peeps I'm always happy to oblige and so before the Cheetahs even arrived I was chatting it up with several Disney kids to see what they are up to this summer.
14-year-old Mosies Arias who plays Rico on "Hannah Montana" nearly broke my hand. That kids got a mean handshake! He's also got four films coming out this year. Little Madison Pettis, Sophie from "Cory in the House" is just as busy with several projects including "Seven Pounds" with Will Smith. "Cory In The House" has wrapped production on a second season with no word on whether it will come back for a third.
I got differing stories from two "Camp Rock" stars on whether or not a sequel is in the works. Anna Maria Perez de Tagle says their is and they will begin filming next year while Alyson Stoner says its still not a done deal.
After talking to Kaycee Stroh, Martha from all three "High School Musical" films, I have a sneaking suspicion she may actually be on this season of "Dancing with the Stars." She arrived just as a group of pro dancers from the show did. So, I asked her if she would ever consider going on the show like Monique Coleman did. With a smirk on her face she said, "I might. I might. I won't say yes or no but it's a might."
Then she winked at me. So, I followed up and asked her if its possible she may be on this season. With a big smile she replied, "It could happen."
Trying to get to the bottom of all the rumors of who actually is and who is not dancing this season I busted out photos of which celebs may be taking part in the show and showed them to Cheryl Burke, Kym Johnson, Derek Hough, Mark Ballas and Edyta Sliwinska. All five will be back this season dancing for sure. So, far I've heard Lance Bass, Florence Henderson, Tom Selleck and Kim Kardashian. Of course, none of them were gonna give up any information with Cheryl stating,
"Honestly we think we know, we're always wrong!"
Of sexy Kardashian Edyta did proclaim,
"I just don't want her to dance with my husband, that's all!"
Her husband is of course the very hot Alec Mazo.
Speaking of the Kardashians. The family was there in support of Adrienne who dates brother Robert. I asked Kim about the "Dancing" rumors and she played it off by saying,
"I'm clumsy."
One thing is for sure. They all adore Adrienne and have made her part of the family. According to Kim,
"This is Rob's one and only truly love. She is the best girlfriend. She puts all other girlfriends to shame."
Mama Kardashian put the word out to all potential suitors for her children, "If you date somebody in my family you have to date the whole family. That's how it works!"
Finally, after gabbing with all these folks, the Cheetahs arrived looking beautiful in color coordinated dresses.
Sabrina in a purple halter dress exclaimed, "We can’t wait for everyone to see the amazing adventure we went on in India. That place is absolutely beautiful. None of our pictures can ever describe how amazing that place is."
Kiely, wearing a strapless Grecian style dress told me they are most excited to bring the film to their fans, "We are really excited about it. We think its the best one we have ever done and we went into it really trying hard to step up to the plate and really honestly make a bigger and better movie for our fans."
Adrienne looked amazing in a fuchsia one should dress and described the message of the film, "The biggest message is that although you grow up I think you don't have to grow apart from your friends. As long as you continue to support one another and stand by one another when you are going in your different directions that's the most important thing."
I just loved the whole look of Sabrina Bryan that night. I really love her purple Versace dress. I want one.
Who were the 3 little boys that looked like rock stars, on the carpet that day?
They are very cute.
