Update: Selena Gomez has already reached Japan as of Feb 2011, and Miley Cyrus has already reached the Philippines as of Jul 2011. Let's keep hoping for the others.
For this little bundle of cuteness, you can't say no to Frankie "the Bonus" Jonas. as the youngest of the all-sibling 3-man band The Jonas Brothers, he may not have a big role in celebrity society but he knows how to whip it up good.
He sometimes shows up in JONAS/JONAS LA (his recent being JONAS LA ep. 9, Direct To Video where he is paired up with Nicole Gale Anderson, check my previous post about the episode) as the character Frankie Lucas, and became a protag in the US Dub of Ponyo on the Cliff on the Sea (opposite Noah Cyrus) as Sousuke, and also shows up as Trevor in Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. Camp Rocker Anna Maria Perez de Tagle managed to tweet a Happy Birthday tweet for Frankie. (tweet @ http://twitter.com/AnnaMariaPdT)
Well you may just be little but great things await you... at least before you become a teenager that is. Happy 10th Birthday Frankie!
Demi Lovato isn't the only one celebrating her B-day this month, her Asian-American counterpart lookalike becomes 20 this month. That girl? Nicole Gale Anderson.
Best known as JONAS' crazed fanatic Macy Misa in JONAS (now Jonas L.A.) and as a recurring character in ABC Family's Make It or Break It, she got what it takes to take the stage and use it for good. Being an experienced gymnast in her helped her in Make It or Break It, and prior to these two projects, she did stints in her homeland by guesting in the now defunct SOP Gigsters and a voice role in the Tagalized dub of Bleach.
Here's to her 20th year of living and we'll expect more cool stuff from her. Happy 20th Nicole Gale!
This Rocker never allowed herself to be tamed at all. this girl refuses to shed a single tear.... except in acting scenes. she even never dared to say "I quit"... she never even fought back at rumors but she fought back at life's trials and even took the blows.
this girl... evolved to be the best singer-actress she is now. her name is Demetria Devonne Lovato, aka Demi. and now, at age 18, she'll go even further. (no, not that further)
Who knew the girl who got a minor start alongside former BFF Selena Gomez at Barney and Friends will get a great career that will win the hearts of many? even though she experienced many trials that most, if not a few, girls that will emotionally break them up, she refused to say "you win" at life's trials. instead, she persevered, and in the end, slayed the big kaiju named "life's difficulty".
Prior to her appearance in As The Bell Rings, she was in select commercials, like the one for Worth the Wait, and a few months or years after As The Bell Rings, her breakout came in Camp Rock as Mitchie Torres. a year after, she got her own TV show in Sonny With A Chance as Sonny Munroe, and that same year, her first album came, titled "Don't Forget" in which she shows her music skills. her 2nd album, "Here We Go Again" was released. and her other DCOM, Princess Protection Program, came out that summer, where she played Rosalinda Maria Montoya Fiore.
This year she had a temporary relationship with Joe Jonas and Jemi (Joe+Demi) fans were happy about it, but the Joe Jonas Fangirls didn't like it at all. after 3 months, they broke off peacefully but no tears were shed. however they value their friendship above all, thus why the breakup was decent.
This year, as she turns 18 and ready rock out at full force, she will indeed show the world and her supporters and fans that THIS GIRL CAN ROCK.
Next month, you can catch her again with Joe as they reprise their roles of Mitchie and Shane respectively when Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam jams on September.
So hats off to you and keep rocking, Demetria! Happy 18th B-Day!
Here's a little reminiscing of their friendship in this clip: (this was preserved in other youtube users, this clip was removed in Demi's Youtube account)
Today is Selena Gomez' 18th Birthday. and now, she's officially an adult. (18 everywhere you go signals the beginning of adulthood, if I'm right) before she was known as the manipulative, rule-ignoring havoc maker Alex Russo on Wizards of Waverly Place, she had a role in Barney and Friends as a kid, and later the recurring guest character Mikayla in Hannah Montana.
Now she will appear in Ramona and Beezus (in which the TV spots credit her more than her costar Joey King, who's not always credited in the TV spots) as Beezus, and her upcoming 2nd album, A Year Without Rain, will be released in the future. Not to mention her fashion skills come in the form of her clothing line Dream Out Loud, a Kmart exclusive, now on sale.
So once more, have a spellbinding 18th birthday Selena Gomez!
Maji Maji Majiiro! Just kidding... well a bit. why? Today is David Henrie's birthday. he's 21 today. Prior to Wizards,he had a recurring/guest role in That's so Raven. he also got his first Disney Channel Movie appearance as one of the main characters in Dadnapped.
so hats of to you, Mahou Tsukai (Wizard) David Henrie! Happy 21st birthday!
On this day, Jennifer Stone turns 17. We all know her as Harper Finkle in Wizards of Waverly Place, but now that she's 17 this year, can you say "Kawaii" even more? Cuteness!
Today we celebrate the 21st Birthday of Vanessa Anne Hudgens, that girl who actually got her big break through High School Musical, to which she said that she got to experience "true" High School. She actually started out in small roles in TV and Movies and even in theater. She has middle roles starting in movies like Thirteen, Thunderbirds, and even guests on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody as Corrie.
Her big break came to her as Gabriella Montez on the High School Musical trilogy, and even joined Alyson "Aly" Michalka (Of 78Violet and Phil of the Future) in Bandslam. now, she's ready to go mature in two movies she's currently doing, Sucker Punch and Beastly.
She may have gone to good and bad times, but she'll always be that Fil-Am girl that dared to be different.
Happy Birthday, Vanessa Anne Hudgens! Keep moving forward!
It's been since a few years since she revealed to the world, the birth of someone who's ready to follow Hilary Duff's footsteps. Her ticket to fame? it's the same way that Hilary Duff did, star in a Disney Channel show, playing the title character. in fact, we do know her alias is nonetheless, Hannah Montana.
She had two movies based on her character. She showed her mature side in "Party in the USA" and in her upcoming movie "The Last Song". Her alter ego had numerous songs, and she alone had won the hearts of many people, esp. the boys and her girl fans. in fact, she's waiting to end her popular show to do more.
That girl, is, nonetheless, Miley Cyrus.
She has accomplished what Hilary Duff did but by 2 times. I mean, what does she had that makes the people love her? is it that she is Hilary Duff's successor? her looks? her talent? her moves? her strong faith in God?
whatever the reason, she made it and established a name for herself. she maybe 17 now but more things await her in the next few years. Despite all the bad impressions, rumors and some hate slapped upon her, she still manages to be strong and cheerful. so Kudos to you Miss Cyrus. you deserve it.
Happy 17th year of living miss Miley Ray Cyrus! More power to you!
This calls for a party! Here's a video of her song "Party in the USA":
It's already been 9 years since we first heard of this beautiful newcomer that time. she taught us the joys and pains of tween hood in Lizzie McGuire. she caught the heart of a Football-playing prince in A Cinderella Story. She brought her dreams to life in The Lizzie McGuire Movie. We all enjoyed her singing in her albums starting with Metamorphosis. She became an older sister in her own right in Cheaper by the Dozen 1 and 2.
Now, she's becoming her own, um, self in Gossip Girl. The girl we're talking about is Hilary Duff.
There's a lot of roles she did in her lifetime than any other teen star when she began at the age of 13. now, fast forward to this time, no other teen star has ever reached the pinnacle of what she has done. to date, she had a successor in the name of Miley Cyrus, who recently did what she did already years ago, and now, Miley's the same level as her. all because Miley admitted that Hilary was her idol, and the reason why Miley was there today, thanks to Hilary.
now at age 22, she's ready to go follow her contemporary Anne Hathaway with more challenges awaiting her. Hil has done the climb, and she's now in the top of the mountain of fame.
Hilary was the benchmark of teen star excellence for later teen stars like Miley, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, and many others. in fact, Hil was the "good girl" of teen stars in her time before they have arrived to where Hil was today.
In fact, in celebration of Hil's b-day month, Disney Channel re-released Lizzie McGuire to a whole new audience to see what they've been missing about the girl that started it all.
So on your 22nd Birthday, cheers! Happy 22nd birthday, Hilary Duff.
Here's a fan video about her to celebrate her birthday:
Ashley Tisdale turns 24 today. she'll be remembered as Dylan Sprouse's love interest on The Suite Life series, Vanessa Hudgens' rival on the High School Musical series, and as the seiyuu (voice actor) of Candace in Phineas and Ferb.
Cute? yes. Adorable? totally. Bonus? Not so much.
