Josh Hutcherson has been a bad boy. He’s getting Detention.

In this case, it’s actually a good thing. The actor is adding producer to his resume with Detention; a teen comedy/horror flick that will see Hutcherson star in as well as produce. What’s the big D all about? Surviving the last year of high school and not getting killed of course!

Filming starts next month in LA and then the Kentucky Colonel (yes, he is an honorary Colonel) heads off to to film the second Journey to the Center of the Earth in October.

Bridgit Mendler may be the next big thing and Disney seems to agree. The network has cast her as the lead in their latest hottest property Lemonade Mouth. The book about five Rhode Island teens who meet in detention and form a band is being developed to take Disney forward with a new crop of teen stars. Mendler will play Olivia and joining her is Hayley Kiyoko (Stella,) Adam Hicks (Wen,) Naomi Scott (Mo,) and Blake Michael (Charlie.)

Production has started in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the made for TV movie will hit sometime in 2011.

High School Musical is done (at least the original.) Camp Rock 2 will hit soon and that will be over. Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana are ending their series soon and the House of Mouse needs some replacement material and new talent to develop.

Lemonade Mouth is a great book and could be so fun. I’m looking forward to it.

Mary Kate Olsen has spent her entire life in front of the cameras and it wasn’t always confortable. The 24 year-old and her sister, Ashley, played precocious Michelle Tanner on Full House in the 80s and the duo now have their own legitimate fashion design company that is very successful with the public and critics alike.

Mary Kate has had her share of negative stories (an eating disorder, a penchant for partying and her friendship with actor Heath Ledger at the time of his overdose) and the very smart business woman has remained silent on these issues for the most part.

Marie Claire magazine has given Mary Kate three covers – and a chance to set the record straight – for September 2010. Here is what you can look forward to from MK in the upcoming issue:

Old photos of her as Michelle – not her favorite: “I look at old photos of me, and I don’t feel connected to them at all… I would never wish my upbringing on anyone…”

What she’s learned from her very public troubles: “I think it’s really important to be able to talk when something’s wrong. I learned at a really young age that if you don’t talk about it, it can drive you insane.”

Fashion is where her heart is: From the inception of The Row to their early successes — “It took us a year-and-a-half to make the first T-shirt,” she says — Mary-Kate takes it more seriously than anything else: “I still read scripts, and if something great comes along, that’s great … but this is my day job. The Row is where I go every day.”

Mary Kate will be seen with Neil Patrick Harris, Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer in Beastly when it finally comes out March 18, 2011. Her clothing lines (with sister Ashley,) are The Row, Elizabeth and James and their latest venture Olsenboye - a lower priced teen oriented line at JCPenney.

This is the end!! The end of Twilight and the end of an era in the movie industry! The Part II of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn”, fifth and final movie, will hit theaters on November 16, 2012. REALLY!!

Breaking Dawn Part I will be released November 18, 2011. And then, we will all have to wait another year to see the final scenes of The Twilight Saga! NOT fair! However, it is one heck of a marketing strategy – make it last longer!

SPOILER: The big scene set to divide the two movies is the epic childbirth scene and Bella’s transformation. I have no clue how they will manage to pull it off, but there won’t be any graphic images and gory details. Boo!

“The childbirth – all the scenes, I feel – should be on screen,” screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg said. “Would we actually see Edward’s teeth through the placenta? I don’t think so. I don’t think we need to see that.”

She adds with a laugh: “If someone needs to see that, I think they should take a look at that.”

And I respond to Mrs. Rosenberg! The people who want to see that scene are the same people who actually read the Twilight Saga books, so please do not offend the fans, suggesting we are all crazy obsessed people. Anyway! We cannot wait to see Breaking Dawn!

Ashley Greene is taking over promotional duties from Lauren Conrad for Avon’s Mark line of cosmetics. The Twilight beauty is perfect for this advertising campaign:

“Ashley has a natural beauty, but I love that she experiments with fashion,” said Claudia Poccia, global president, Mark. “She mixes it up and makes it her own.”

“We have this mission of celebrating young women making their mark on the world,” Poccia said. “Ashley has set goals for herself and is achieving those goals.”

Greene’s first ad is now pulled from youtube – which is ridiculous. I understand a company that wants to protect it’s image or is concerned with people altering the ad, but these websites (including us) are actually helping to PROMOTE the product – FOR FREE. Why take it down?  It’s Avon for heaven’s sake. They can use all the free promotion to teens they can get.

So let me ask you – does this make a difference to you? Would you buy the product just because of Ashley? Does the fact that the company won’t let you view the ad bug you or do you not care at all?

Justin Bieber is working on a movie of his life… sorta.

Let’s back up just a bit.

It was widely reported this week (here at GossipTeen too) that The Biebs is writing a memoir, of his 16 year old life. Well, that’s only partially true. The bite sized Canadian pop star has twittered about the real deal:

“It isn’t a memoir … I teamed up with this amazing photographer Robert and he has been taking pictures behind the scenes from before the tour,” Bieber wrote. “So the book will include all those pics and I’m going to tell the story of all that led up from rehearsals until the first night of the tour. Pretty excited about it and think everyone will enjoy the story and the pics. We can all agree I’m a little too young to write a memoir.”

Now that we’ve got that part cleared up, the movie is a kind of companion piece in a way. It will be 3-D, it will have some biographical elements to it but it won’t be purely about his rise to stardom. It will cover his concert tour and have behind the scenes looks at JB as he sets out to dominate the world, one tween at a time.

Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) will not be the director of said film. Once a helmer is put in place, Valentine’s Day is the goal for the opening date.

Biebernation is happening.

Nickelodeon’s latest teen star, Victoria Justice grabs the cover of September’s Teen Vogue. Here is a peek at the star of Victorious! photo shoot and interview:

On being taken away by vampires: “I used to be such a nerd. In middle school my best friend, Audrey, and I would read chapters of ‘Twilight’ together over the phone. I’ve never been a partier. So many girls only care about guys and looking good all the time. I just thought that was so boring.”

On the Disney-Nickelodeon rivalry: “People always ask me, ‘Is there a rivalry between the Nickelodeon and Disney stars? Do you guys hate each other?’ Like everyone has to be on one team. If you’re a Selena Gomez fan, you can’t be a Victoria Justice fan. We’re both half-Latin, and people put us in the same category.”

On what you won’t catch her wearing: “I hate sequins, sparkles, and pink. I have to have a certain image, but if it were my choice, I would wear something a lot more edgy.”

On ‘dating’ Nicholas Hoult: “I’m a guy’s girl. In this industry, it’s hard to find a solid girl friend. I’d love to have tons, though. I’d kill for it!”

Get lots more from Victoria at Teen Vogue.
