Aly’s show Hellcats was up for an award, however it did not win. The sisters (AJ is guest starring on the hit CW cheerleader show) tweeted their fan love as the night went on. Aly said:

“I’m still laying bed thinking of how incredible you all are. The fact that we had fans tweeting all day means the world to me! Im so thankful that Hellcats was nominated:) unreal! Xo aly. Thank you again for your constant voting for #Hellcats over these last few months! What a great way to start up Hellcats again in 2011.”

Aly Michalka is simply gorgeous in OK! magazine’s “Dresses That Get You Noticed” photo shoot. Aly dons a purple dress with black lace overlay from GUESS and looks like she’s ready for a New Year’s Eve bash. Michalka tells the mag:

Do you have a kiss planned for midnight this New Year’s Eve?
I’ll probably be in L.A., and I have somebody who is not in L.A., so I’ll have to wait until after New Year’s. But that’s all right.

What are you going to be doing on New Year’s Eve?
I’m probably going to see friends and go to a party. I think it’s important to be around people you care about to start out your new year with positive influences. Plan your year wisely — it’s a brand-new start! should be sleek, not bulky. Go for bias cuts and bod-skimming silhouettes.

Aly returns with Hellcats cast on Tuesday January 25th.

“Hellcats” star Aly Michalka, the sister of AJ Michalka, posed for a very classy photo shoot featured on Venice Magazine (November 2010). The 21 year-old talks about the future of the 78violet duet and their new album, songwriting, being a teen in Hollywood and her co-star Ashley Tisdale.

Here are some highlights from Aly Michalka’s Venice Magazine interview:

On pursuing art after her teens: “As I got older, I just became more passionate about the art. Writing songs. Performing. Doing good quality work as an actor. I’m not interested in artistic pursuits for money or fame or accolades. I just want to make art that will hopefully make people feel inspired.”

On the new sound of 78violet: “Though the melodies are pop melodies, the songs are very heavily influenced by rock and definitely have a rock sound, not just a pop sound. And, yes, our music has changed a bit over the years as we’ve gotten a little older and started to have more freedom and more to say. My sister and I are both singer-songwriters. We do not want to be pop stars.”

On staying away from the club scene: “I’ve been fortunate enough to be blessed with a great family life and I do think that, in general, the choices you make do have something to do with the way you were raised and the friends that you have around you. We all surround ourselves with good friends that we really trust and we all have a focus that we don’t lose sight of. Personally, I really don’t like the club scene. All the loud noise and people yelling. I’d rather be in a more intimate setting, in my pajamas having a nice dinner.”

On her Hellcats scenes with Ashley Tisdale: “There is a level of comfort that we share with each other that definitely helps. And, coming from similar backgrounds in the industry, we both have the same work ethic and approach the work in the same way. I love that we have a friendship on the set and off. It’s nice to work with people you still want to hang out with after we wrap.”
