Gossip Teen

It seems like the beginning of a new year always brings out the best in people – even celebs.  Who knew!?  Which is why we’re bringing you, dear readers, some of our favorite celeb New Year’s resolutions for 2012, and assigning each of them a Gossip Teen grade based on difficulty and potential level of personal growth.

ROB KARDASHIAN: “I have a dress sock line I’m working on..I want that to launch successfully. Obviously getting into shape is big for me…that’s one of my main things.”

Ummm okay, I guess promoting a “dress sock” line is a way of bettering yourself. B+

VAMPIRE DIARIES‘ KAT GRAHAM: “To eat as many donuts as possible and lose weight while doing so!”

I like where you’re head is at Kat, but I just don’t see you being able to follow this one through.  C-

LA LA ANTHONY: “I always say that I’m going to work out and eat better and lose weight, and last year it probably lasted a good three weeks, so hopefully this year I can go a little longer.”

LAME SAUCE!  Point deduction for being majorly boring.   C-

KELLY BENSIMON: “Take 30 days off of everything that’s toxic and see how I come out the other end.”

Not sure how you’re going to take 30 days off from yourself, but good luck!  D

SETH GREEN: “I’d like to learn from all the mistakes I’ve made and try harder in the areas that may need a little improvement.”

I like your drive, Seth!  A-

WHITNEY PORT: “Just to have a little more patience with everybody.”

Simple, attainable and realistic.  I like it.  A-

ABIGAIL BRESLIN: “Umm…To stop saying ‘umm’ so much!”

A girl after my own heart.  A+

What’s your New Year’s Resolution?  Let us know at @GossipTeens!!!

According to sources, 15-year-old Abigail Breslin has penned a contract with film producers that will bank the actress $16,250 an hour to do voiceover work for her new movie Zambezia.  Breslin, who plays the adorable bird character Zoe, recently went into the studio for one, four-hour session and came out with a whopping $65,000 in her pocket.

The ZombieLand actress signed another huge contract earlier this year, when she agreed to a one-week stint on the set of the upcoming film New Year’s Eve for – wait for it – $275,000.

Sure beats making $10 an hour babysitting!

The Hamptons had a couple of celebrity filled events this weekend – all raising money for charities – and Abigail Breslin was on hand checking them out.

The 15 year-old started out at the shopping extravaganza Super Saturday 14 in Water Mill, NY. Breslin shopped at the annual designer garage sale and took part in the carnival games that raised money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.

Breslin wasn’t the only teen celeb at the event. Emma Roberts and boyfriend Chord Overstreet were there and Joe Jonas‘ new girlfriend, model Karlie Kloss grabbed up some high-priced goodies on the cheap.

Abigail also attended the Oceana Hamptons Splash party on Saturday night. The event was held at a private residence with actor Ted Danson and Adrien Grenier.

It’s just too many celebs and too many stories to figure out what’s what, but the first trailer for the new Garry Marshall ensemble film, New Year’s Eve, is out.

Abigail Breslin, Zac Efron and Lea Michele costar with Jessica Biel, Robert DeNiro, Ashton Kutcher, Sarah Jessica Parker, Katherine Heigl,  Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, Sofia Vergara, Josh Duhamel… I could go on and on.

It’s a sort of sequel (re: money maker) to last year’s Valentine’s Day.

Abigail Breslin walked the red carpet for the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival Premiere of Janie Jones held at the SVA Theater in NYC on Friday, April 29th.

The 15 year-old wore a long camel colored skirt with crisp white sleeveless top. She pulled her newly blonde hair back and definitely had a grown-up look for the event.

In the film, Breslin is Janie, the daughter of a musician who never knew she existed until her mom drops her off with dad, only to disappear. Her father, played by Alessandro Nivola, is forced to take her on tour with him and it’s there he finds out how talented she is.

Breslin does her own singing in the film. Listen to the first song “Fight For Me” below. She’s great!

Abigail Breslin hit the brown carpet premiere of her latest film Rango at the Regency’s Village Theater in Westwood, California on Monday (February 14th) night.

Breslin is the voice of Priscilla, the mouse with a little pig tail who lives in the western town Dirt.

The actress said she had a great time filming:

“It was the most fun I never had making a movie,” she said. “It’s animated, but we filmed it like an actual movie, with everyone in costumes doing their voices.”

Unlike most animated films where each actor films individually in a studio, the director, Gore Verbinksi (Pirates of the Caribbean) had all the voice stars together in costume to capture the dialogue.

Breslin costars with Johnny Depp, Isla Fischer and Timothy Olphant. Rango opens March 4th.

Abigail Breslin gets to work with Johnny Depp in the upcoming animated movie Rango. (Ok, so most voice work is done in a studio apart from the other actors so she won’t get to actually be in the same room with him – but still!)

Breslin is one of the townspeople that Depp’s chameleon (Rango) ends up trying to protect. The movie opens March 18, 2011.

Check out the trailer below. Read more »

Abigail Breslin’s name has been thrown into the casting possibilities for Garry Marshall’s New Year’s Eve, the sequel to Valentine’s Day. Breslin is just one of many rumored to be offered a part in the romantic comedy that has intersecting love stories themed to the holiday. Zac Efron, Justin Bieber and Glee’s Lea Michele may all be part of the future flick.

I think an Abigail and Justin storyline would be interesting and cute.

Last time around, Valentine’s Day starred Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift and Emma Roberts and was a hit and sparked the Taylor Squared romance.

Abigail Breslin plays a young singer/songwriter in her new film Janie Jones. In the movie, Breslin’s Janie is trying to connect with her musician father (who didn’t know she existed) while her mother enters rehab.

The 14 year-old actress really liked playing Janie as she even got to drive for the film (she was only 13 at the time) and scared one of the assistants! Breslin said:

“I actually drove in the parking lot and it was awesome, “she said. “I did the actual stunt thing where I almost hit a car. Everybody was fearful those 2 days. We had this one production assistant, Ben, who was in the back seat while I was driving. I could tell he was so afraid and thinking ‘Why did they put me in the car with this lunatic?’ ”

But the illicit driving experience was every kid’s dream.

“It was fun,” says Breslin “My brothers (Spencer, age 18 and Ryan, 25) got their licenses both of them like 3 months ago. I’m like ‘I’m more experienced than you guys are.’”

Breslin did her own singing for the part and while she was nervous – she says she had lots of fun experiencing something new.
