Vanessa Hudgens is gearing up for the release of Beastly (finally!) The date has been delayed, moved and pushed around the calendar so much it’s a wonder there is still interest in it.

Costarring with Alex Pettyfer, Mary Kate Olsen and Neil Patrick Harris (who later directed her at the Hollywood Bowl in a performance of Rent,) Hudgens spoke to ComingSoon about how she chose Beastly, her character Lindy and doing stunts while afraid of heights:

On what attracted her to the role: “It was just a script that was in the pile, you know, and I read it, and I thought that it was really interesting. I had a meeting with them, and I remember running in, and I was late and I felt horrible, and we just had a great conversation. It was me, Susan the producer and Daniel the director, and we just sat and talked about the project. Just hearing Daniel’s ambitions, what he wanted to do, how he wanted to shoot it, how he wanted to develop the characters. It just seemed like the right next choice.”

On who Lindy is and how she’s different: “It’s a whole lot different than me. I’m very outgoing and confident and when it comes to Lindy, she’s a bit more all over the place. She’s kind of the person that has a bunch of word vomit. She’ll say something and then instantly start to retract it, yet she can’t stop talking about it. She’s just kind of this neurotic character that’s just a lot of fun. There’s much more of a deeper undertone to the way I speak in it, because I have an extremely high voice.”

On her stunt work: “I’ve had one stunt already, which was quite frightening ’cause I’m afraid of heights, and I had to climb up a ladder, hold onto something upside down, they rigged me and I was literally hanging upside down on a pole, and then they would let the latch go, and they’d count “3,2,1″ and then I’d let go and fall into Alex’s arms.”

The movie hits theaters March 4th.

Willow Smith stopped by Radio Disney for the Top 30 countdown and spoke about meeting Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez and if she toured, how she would like the stage to look. Check out Willow in the video above.

Charity and giving back is very important to Justin Bieber.

The teenager uses his music and concert sales to help benefit his charities of choice: Pencils of Promise and The Children’s Miracle Network. JB also meets with kids from the Make-A-Wish Foundation before concerts and tries to connect with them and make their experience memorable.

CNN interviewed Justin and asked why this is so important to him.

“For me it’s about helping people out that haven’t had opportunity,” Bieber said.

Justin and his mother really struggled and had hard times until she uploaded videos of her son to YouTube and he was discovered. As Bieber’s popularity grew, his memories of how tough it was for him and his mom inspired him to help out as often as he could.

In one season on The Vampire Diairies, Candice Accola’s Caroline has gone from human midnight snack for Damon (Ian Somerhalder) to a powerful, slightly neurotic vampire forging a friendship (and possible romance) with werewolf in waiting Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino). Accola sees the two forming a sort of alliance that is becoming so strong, all things are possible between the two supernatural characters:

There are hints that Tyler and Caroline’s friendship is something more. Are we going to see them develop a romance?
A lot of great romances can grow from friendship. Of course, there’s definitely a possibility of that. Whether or not that’s going to happen, I don’t know. We’re not that much farther ahead of the audience. So I really don’t know. I know that … Caroline’s the only one that knows what Tyler’s been going through, so that friendship isn’t just going to go away. There’s something there. Whether that turns into a romantic relationship or whether it turns into a really beautiful support system for one another, who knows. The fans will just have to stay tuned and watch.

Romance or friendship-wise, do you think they’re doomed in a way since vampires and werewolves are historically enemies?
It’s definitely got a Romeo and Juliet quality to it, the idea of them becoming romantic. Who knows? That didn’t end very well with Romeo and Juliet. [Laughs] Hopefully, it wouldn’t be that same result for Caroline and Tyler. I don’t know. Really, right now, the most prominent thing going on between both of them is finding a safe place for Tyler to transform. It’s really about his transformation right now. It’s not about anything else, which I think is such a wonderful thing because, for Caroline, any involvement with a member of the opposite sex was immediately sexual throughout the first season. It was immediately like crush-worthy. It wasn’t just like a friendship. I think it’s just a lovely way of showing that she as a character has grown within the second season. It’s more than just about a boy I immediately have to have a crush on. It’s a friendship. It’s something a little bit more substantial.

So what is in store for Caroline & Tyler? The last two shows of 2010 on December 2nd and 9th deal with the werewolves and Tyler’s transformation so there should be lots of scenes together. Should we call them Cyler or Taroline or Fockwood? Either way – I like the Romeo and Juliet aspect of these two characters.

Accola has truly been a wonderful surprise in the second season of TVD – and for a show that is consistently raising the bar every week with twists and shockers – that is saying something.

Adorable Victoria Justice appeared on Jimmy Fallon‘s late night talk show last week and the actress was as sweet and cute as ever. Justice and Fallon talked about karaoke and the Victorious special “Freak The Freak Out,” her Thanksgiving day after her parade appearance and there was a little impromptu dance at the beginning with Justice, Fallon and SNL’s Bill Hadler. Check it out above.

Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are really very close friends. According to Selena, the two talk “everyday” and hang out as often as they can. Gomez said in an interview there is no pretense between the BFF’s and they don’t sit around complaining they can’t get out and do normal things:

“That’s probably why she’s one of best friend cause we don’t have that… ‘Oh my gosh, it’s so hard to be us. We can’t go anywhere.’ Like, we don’t do that. We go to the mall, we go to the movies, we go to iHop.”

Gomez also says that she and Taylor are “crazy gift givers” and Swift fills boxes with lots of smaller trinkets for her friends.

Check out Selena above as she talks about her friendship with Taylor.

Ashley Tisdale stopped by MTV and The Seven to answer the question – What seven things can’t you live without? Her family and her dog Maui, were no surprise (she is super close to her fam and loves her little dog) but what else did you think she chose?

Tisdale is busy with her TV show Hellcats (which was picked up for a full season on the CW) and she will be promoting Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure for Disney soon. Her IMDb page is listing her for High School Musical 4: East Meets West. The only thing I can find that has been announced is that it’s in the writing stages. I haven’t seen a confirmation of Tisdale’s participation anywhere else but GossipTeen will keep looking.

Actress Dianna Agron wrote one very long entry to apologize to the kids, parents, families and fans who were offended by GLEE’s super sensual photo shoot for GQ Magazine, which was slammed by Parents Television Council. Dianna argues that other stars did it first, but still recognizes they are perpetuating this inappropriate image of teens.

Parents Slam GLEE Stars On Controversial GQ Cover

“Other public figures and shows . . . have pushed the envelope and challenged the levels of comfort in their viewers and fans,” Dianna wrote on her blog.

PHOTOS: ‘Glee’ Gets Super Sexy For GQ Magazine

“In perpetuating the type of images that evoke these kind of emotions, I am sorry,” she wrote. “If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention.”

“If your eight-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry,” she wrote. “But I would have to ask, how on earth did it get there? . . . There are parental locks and ways to get around this. I am twenty-four years old. I have been a pretty tame and easy-going girl my whole life. Nobody is perfect, and these photos do not represent who I am.”

All this drama for a couple of extra sexy pictures!?! Dianna is right. Parents should control what type of material kids have access too. However, we live in a free world where kids will see these “grown-ups” magazine covers while shopping with their parents.

Uh oh!! GLEE stars, Cory Monteith, Dianna Agron and Lea Michele, are in the center of a major controversy after they sensually posed for a photo shoot featured in the upcoming issue of GQ Magazine (November 2010)- check out pictures and interview HERE.

The Parents Television Council slammed the FOX’s hit show producers in the following statement:

“It is disturbing that GQ, which is explicitly written for adult men, is sexualizing the actresses who play high school-aged characters on ‘Glee’ in this way. It borders on pedophilia. By authorizing this kind of near-pornographic display, the creators of the program have established their intentions on the show’s direction. And it isn’t good for families.”

Miley Cyrus “Who Owns My Heart” Slammed By Parents Council

That was a bit harsh. Besides the Glee stars are all way too old for this. Dianna and Lea are 24 years old and Cory is 28 years old, but we get the point. These actors are portraying teenagers on TV and this type of exposure results in the oversexualization of teens.

Tell us what you think about the photo shoot in question. Is GQ too sensual inappropriate for GLEE stars? And parents, would you let your kids see the extra sexy pictures?

Kristen Stewart appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly this morning (October 19th) to promote her non-Twilight film, Welcome to The Rileys. The actress plays a stripper and there has been a lot of chatter about her possible pole dancing in the film (you won’t see it in the film, but she did take lessons for two weeks in prepping for the role.) The 20 year-old thespian told Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa that while she had fun learning how to, the physical results weren’t all that great:

“It hurts alot, actually. I had bruises all over my legs.”

She also mentions that she heads to New Orleans in November for the start of the Breaking Dawn shoot.
