Hey Girls! So, last night I had my first interview ever, with Bridgit Mendler! You may recognize her from some episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place or as Nick Jonas' crush on the TV show Jonas. as well as this, she has also played roles in General Hospital, Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakqual, and Labor Pains.  She is very excited about the new TV show Good Luck Charlie in which she plays the lead role of a girl named Teddy and she is also excited about her song that's coming out on the Disney Mania CD! Now back to the interview.. How did she get interested in acting? When she was 8 years old, she moved to California and went to an acting camp for fun. She started acting in local plays and then decided acting was something she really enjoyed doing and wanted to try to pursue it. Bridgit Mendler said "I decided i was really going to go after it so i got an agent and here i am!" How has the paparazzi affected her life? "Well, I haven't had too much of a problem with that just because I'm not really that out there and so I haven't had a big problem with that.  I worked on a movie Labor Pains with Lindsey Lohan last summer and that was an interesting experience.  that was the first time I'd actually experienced the paparazzi." said Bridgit.   What's a typical day like for her? When she's working on set, she has a week of rehearsals and run-throughs of the episode in front of producers and executives.  Then, at the end of the week they shoot the show in front of a live audience With a week like that, what does she do in spare time? She loves to spend time with her friends. She thinks of herself as being very lucky because she becomes great friends with her coworkers.  She also likes to play her guitar, maybe write a song at the end of the day to just unwind. What was her favorite thing she acted in? She said that her favorite was being able to be in Good Luck Charlie. "It's soo much fun and I love that I've been here since the beginning.  We've developed this family on set and we have such a great time together.  And it's nice to be with a character long enough that you actually get toknow her and so I think I really know Teddy at this point." How did she feel during her first performance? The first thing she ever did was she was in a carpet commercial when she was really young. "I thought it was soo cool that they had there's giant rolling cameras and I had a lot of fun.  The first thing that I had lines in was in General Hospital in LA and it was awesome. The more I act, the more fun it gets for me." How would she describe her style? "I'm kind of all over the place.  I like to pair different colors and patterns and try to tie them in together and make it work.  I don't know if I'm the most traditionally stylish person, but I like to have fun with what I wear." Any advice for kids who have a dream of becoming an actor? "Acting is a great dream to have, but it takes a lot of work to pursue.  Just about every dream does, but you really have to take it seriously, you can't try and act only half-way and be successful with it.  So I think in order to start acting I think you should really let your parents and the people you surround yourself with know that it's something you really want to pursue.  Maybe take some acting classes to get the ball rolling."

Here's the AllyKatzz invite that is going to Celebs for the Town Hall Meeting.
Hope YOU will be there, too!  

You may recognize Drew from his role of Joey Parker in Another Cinderella Story. Or his multiple gigs with Disney including filling in for Zac Efron as Troy during the HSM tour. Recently, he's done the webisodes for: I kissed a vampire (available on itunes) and performed on Broadway's The Little Mermaid. And you can hear him sing a revamped track from The Little Mermaid called Her Voice on the Disney Mania 7 CD coming out March 2nd! We talked about many things...
Musical influences: Drew's musical style is influenced by what he's listening to at the time and past experiences. He's been into R&B and Pop in the past but as of late he's jamming to 80s bands. He loves all music and will hear whatever he feels like that day.
Career Aspirations: As a kid, Drew aspired to be a shortstop BBall player. When he was really little he wanted to own a museum because he thought dinosaurs were cool. However, he went to college for advertising so that he could come up with slogans and commercials for companies. 
Dancing: When it comes to dancing choreography's his strong point- when he doesn't have the moves set he swears his rhythm goes out the door; but he also said at his good friend's wedding he loved dancing at the reception. He wiggled, spun, and did dips to 40s and 50s songs where you 'don't have to be good'.
V day plans: Valentine's day was a good time to 'relax & chill out'. He considered the night before the holiday a more adequate celebration where he danced at the wedding reception which was romantic and had a big band.   Disney Mania Song:  Even though he's recorded songs on past Disney Mania records this one was different because it was last minute. He was doing the show on broadway (the little mermaid) and thought it would be a good idea to remake a song (her voice). So he recorded it in the studio after doing the show and stayed up 'till 5Am. He got to shoot the music video for it in Brooklyn which was cool. 
Recording vs. singing live: He loves doing both but he considers live to be more fun because he can build off the audience's reaction like when he points the mic out and they sing a few verses. There's also a thrill and challenge in testing your chops and trying to be flawless because you can't let yourself go.
Embarrassing ipod song:  I asked him what's the most embarrassing song on your ipod right now? He told me how he was going for a run the other day and a surprising track came on.... Called Barbie Girl. Admitting it's a good song to run to is as far as he'd tell- he doesn't know how it got on there!
