Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson is Pretty Darn Adorable on the cover of Seventeen magazine’s September 2011 issue.

The actress chatted about how her style changed a lot when she was younger, breaking hearts and how normal she is.

On her changing style: “When I was younger, I went through a lot of different phases. One day I’d be punk rock, and the next I would be tomboyish, and then I would be really girly. I was so weird. My two best friends and I were just crazy and goofy!”

On breaking hearts: “I’ve never had my heart broken. And I don’t want to have my heart broken. I’m afraid of it. Even when I break someone else’s heart, I’m really upset about it. And I’m not even feeling half of what they are…”

On being a regular girl: “Everything I do is unfabulous. I’m the most normal person. I love walking everywhere, and going to hole-in-the-wall places, like nail shops, because they do the best job. And I go to vintage stores rather than high-end boutiques, because I like to dress different from other people.”

Inspired by her real-life crush in the 8th grade, Victoria Justice took pen to paper and turned her feelings into her hit song “Best Friend’s Brother” for her show Victorious.

Justice told Seventeen magazine that when she was 14 years-old hanging out with her BFF, she started to notice her friend’s brother and started to like him a bit more than before.

“When I was around 14 years old, in 8th grade, I had this crush on my best friend’s brother.” she told the magazine.

“He was two years older than me. It was one of those things where I would go over her house and we would all play Halo 2 together and go swimming in the pool and stuff.”

However much she liked him, the (now) 18 year-old star said her friendship mattered the most and she didn’t want to jeopardize anything coming between them.

“I think we both had little crushes on each other, but it never went anywhere,” Justice revealed. “If it had, it would have been really weird. I wouldn’t have been willing to risk my friendship for dating her brother. Friendship is always more important.”

Victoria also said it was a tie between “Best Friend’s Brother” and “Freak the Freak Out” for her favorite song off of the soundtrack for her Nickelodeon show.

The Victorious soundtrack is on sale August 2nd.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson is the cover girl of the forthcoming August 2011 issue of Seventeen Magazine (check photo shoot + behind the scenes video below). Emma is a super cute artsy girl who is just trying to figure out what path she wants to take after the end of her Harry Potter experience.

The 21 year-old actress finally confessed she had a huge crush on her co-star Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter franchise. Really? Draco was Emma’s first crush? What about Harry? Bad boys are more fun!

Here are some highlights from Emma Watson’s Seventeen interview:

On celebrity crushes: “I’ve never understood having crushes on people who you don’t know in real life. I only crush on people I meet. I mean, I can appreciate that someone is good-looking, obviously, but I don’t intend to fantasize about people I don’t know!”

On Draco Malfoy: “For the first two movies, I had a huge crush on Tom Felton. He was my first crush. He totally knows. We talked about it – we still laugh about it. We are really good friends now, and that’s cool.”

On art: “If I hadn’t done Harry Potter, I would have gone and done years of art. I really do love it, and I’d love to write.”

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2“, the eighth and final installment of the “Harry Potter” series, hits theaters on July 15, 2011.

Nina Dobrev has earned herself the cover for Seventeen Fitness magazine – Celeb Special Issue that hits May 3rd.

The actress is certainly in fine form and shares that she’s happy with her body; bruises and all.

“I’ve reached a point where I’m comfortable in my own skin, and I do what I need to do, to feel good, but I’m built the way I am,” Dobrev says.

“The dancer’s feet, the bruises on my legs, they’re not going to go away. I think real girls have bruises. Tough chicks get bruised. They get dirty. And they have fun. It’s just a part of life!”

The Vampire Diaries star stays fit by making sports a part of day at the beach, not suntanning.

“I don’t really wear stringy bikinis much,” Nina says as guys everywhere tear up a little.

” I wear a lot of thicker, sportier stuff, because I’ll play volleyball on the beach and go surfing and swimming. I’m not the lounge-in-a-chair-in-next-to-nothing-for-tan-lines kind of girl.”

Actress Emma Roberts looks stunning beautiful on the cover of the upcoming issue of Seventeen Magazine (May 2011)- check pictures below. The 20 year-old, who is currently promoting her first scary movie “Scream 4”, is rumored to be dating Chace Crawford yet she still wonders if she has already met her future husband. REALLY?

In the interview, Emma also talks about turning 20, feeling sexy with smaller boobs (LOL), not really being into the party scenes and how much she misses her mom after moving out to leave by herself. Here are the highlights:

On turning 20: “[It] made me realize that I want to be young and have fun. When I was 16, I was very frustrated all the time. I felt like nobody understood me. School was stressful, working was stressful, and it’s a really tough time for girls to be friends. I felt like I was always in a rush to get somewhere, when I had no idea where that was. Now I just feel content, and I feel like that’s a nice place to be. I’ve learned that I want to have great people in my life and lots of love in my life, and just enjoy it. I wish I had realized that sooner.”

On feeling sexy: “Sexy when I was younger always meant boobs, and I’ve never had boobs in my life – so I always felt that sexy was out of the question for me. I used to really want to be that kind of voluptuous girl, and I’ve just kid of embraced that I’m not.”

On her future husband: “Sometimes when I’m going to sleep, I think, ‘Oh God, my future husband is out there somewhere and I might know him, or I might not, and I wonder what he’s doing and I wonder if he knows me.’ I just always think that’s so fascinating, that even when you were two years old, your future husband was out there somewhere.”

On living alone: “You don’t realize how hard it is to live on your own. But there’s no mom to do your laundry, and make you dinner and to do things for you, and you don’t think about little things like buying paper towels and salt. So moving out was definitely a shock. But I still have sleepovers with my mom sometimes because I miss her so much.”

On the party scene: “I like to go to parties if I know who’s going to be there, and if it’s people I want to be with. I don’t just go to go. And I always drive myself, because I hate being stuck places—there’s nothing worse that going out and then being stuck!”

Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice is the hot new cover girl of the upcoming April 2011 issue of Seventeen Magazine. The 18 year-old “Victorious” actress made some controversial statements on “trying things” – Victoria tried it and she did not like it!

Victoria confessed she tried smoking and drinking with her friends, before she realized those habits were just keeping her from having fun. Do not worry. Victoria seems to be a very responsible girl. Here’s what she had to say:

“I”m not going to lie to you: I’ve tried things. I’m not some robot who’s programmed to be perfect. I’ve been to high school parties. And even if I’ve had a drink, it’s always in a responsible way.

I did go through a phase when I wanted to try smoking, and for a minute I did. But shortly after, I just kind of realized it was gross, and I didn’t like anything about it. If I’m at a party, I’m going to dance, not huddle in some corner and smoke or sneak a drink.

I feel that smoking, drinking, and doing drugs are kind of selfish because you end up isolating yourself from everyone else. And I’ve had to make certain choices and be a lot more responsible with my life. I’ve been given a huge opportunity, and I don’t want to let my fans and family down.”

This simply proves Nickelodeon is a much safer place for young stars, when compared to Disney. The beautiful Victoria is wise beyond her years, but she like every other girl she also has insecurities.

Victoria said, “I wasn’t always confident; that’s something I’ve grown into and am still working on. I still have so many insecurities that I’m trying to grow out of. These days beauty is something that feels so enforced. All girls, including myself, have to learn to love themselves the way they are.”

It’s time for Prom magazines already!

Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale is the cover for the 2011 issue of Seventeen’s Teen Prom magazine in a black and white floral patterned gown.

The 21 year old Hale spilled a little bit of a PLL teaser to the mag saying:

“I want people to find out about Ezra and Aria. I definitely want my friends to know. I can’t say a lot, but I think it would add a whole new twist if more people knew about their relationship.”

Go behind the scenes of Lucy’s cover photo shoot and hear what Hale had to say about her own prom experience in the video below.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson graces the cover of the latest issue of Mexico’s Seventeen Magazine (November 2010). The 20 year-old actress, who recently got a dramatic makeover when she chopped off her hair, talked about her fame, a normal day in her life, different challenges and love.

Is Emma Watson Trying To Steal Robert Pattinson From Kristen Stewart?

Emma gives some good advice about what to wear and how to behave on a date – two words “Be Yourself!” Here are some highlights from Emma Watson’s Seventeen Mexico interview:

Is it easy to pick up when someone likes you because of your fame?
You can tell immediately when that’s the case. I try not to worry about it too much, otherwise I wouldn’t give myself the chance to meet anybody. I’d neve be able to trust people again and I wouldn’t want that.

It seems like you have everything. You’re famous but you try to have a normal life for someone your age. Is something missing in your life?
I need to have more fun, like anyone my age! I’m always working, I’m addicted to work. My head needs to rest.

What’s a normal day in your life?
I don’t have an ordinary day because I’m trapped between two different lives. One day I’m filming, th next I’m off to college, the next day I’m home, then I’m designing clothes. There are no typical days for me.

After Harry Potter what has been your biggest challenge?
My first day in college. I didn’t know anybody, I was very nervous, in a new country. Actually I didn’t want to leave my room. I’m so proud I’m over it.

What is the best outfit for a date?
Something that suits you, that looks good on you but at the same time special. You’re already stressed out enough when you go out with someone you like, so you shouldn’t wear uncomfortable shoes or a dress that you can’t breathe in.

Any love advice?
I’m probably not the right person to answer that. I think you should be yourself because otherwise, you’ll be on the wrong path and the results are not gonna be pretty. Be yourself, be honest. Don’t take it too seriously, that’s been one of my biggest mistakes. You’re young, just have fun!

Michael Trevino, Zach Roerig and Steven R McQueen are the subject of Seventeen magazine’s photo shoot for the November issue. The stars of The Vampire Diaries show off their more sensitive side in these great shots (girls, officially begin swooning now!)

The photos are great and I love the fact that all three actor’s characters are becoming more integrated into the show this year. Tyler Lockwood (Trevino) gets all wolfy soon and Matt (Roerig) has a vampire ex-girlfriend to contend with (and possibly Katherine (Nina Dobrev) has her sights on him as well.) But Jeremy Gilbert (McQueen) happens to be my favorite as he really has great potential to have a real friendship with Tyler and a true deep resentment of Damon (Ian Somerhalder.)
