Amanda Michalka attended the 18th Annual Race to Erase MS Gala at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel on April 29, in Los Angeles to help raise money at the charity auction.

The 20 year-old star rubbed elbows with Cindy Crawford, Paris Hilton, Lea Thompson and Melissa Joan Hart, among the celebs at the fundraiser.

The 78violet singer’s next project is the big summer flick Super 8 with Elle Fanning and Kyle Chandler.

While a lot of the plot of JJ Abrams movie is still secret, Michalka did talk to Nylon about working with him and Fanning.

“JJ [Abrams, the director] is one of the coolest guys I’ve ever worked with,” she said. ” He’s never done anything with a bunch of young kids before, so it was fun to work with him because everyone thought he was so funny.”

” And Elle Fanning is the sweetest, most adorable thing ever,” Amanda shared. ” Although maybe I can’t say she’s adorable, because she’s way taller than me.”

AJ’s last Hellcats episode with sister Aly Michalka, “Warped Sister” airs Tuesday, May 3rd. Super 8 is in theaters this June.

Noah Cyrus spent a happy afternoon taking the family dog out for a walk. Noah took Mate, her big sister Miley’s dog, for a stroll around their Toluca Lake neighborhood. She was certainly happy and smiling, putting her parents divorce out of her mind at least for a little while.

Following in her famous sisters footsteps, Kylie Jenner has posed for her first modeling photo shoot. Photographer Nick Saglimbeni gives 13 year-old Kylie a sophisticated look for the photos. Jenner’s proud big sister Kim Kardashian, posted the beautiful pics on her blog (see more here.)

The teenager already has the drill down and was a seasoned pro as Saglimbeni said:

“Kylie was every bit as professional as her sister Kendall, but with a wonderful and unique look and attitude all her own. Being Kylie’s first fashion shoot ever, this was an exciting experience for everyone involved. It’s always fascinating to witness someone’s initial discovery of their hidden talents. You can really see how much fun she’s having in the shots. She did amazingly well, and she has some of the best eyes I have ever shot!”

Can’t argue with those pics. Great shoot!

AJ Michalka is headed to the world of competitive cheerleading and Hellcats in 2011. The sister of star Aly Michalka, AJ is getting a recurring role as an employee at a record store which is conveniently located near Lancer University.

The sisters have already collaborated on the show (the theme song is performed by them as 78violet) and it is likely they will perform musically together in a future episode.

Blake Lively grabs one more magazine cover before 2010 closes out. This time it’s the December issue of Marie Claire Australia. The fashionable actress looks fabulous as always.

Lively’s cover isn’t the only fashion headline she’s making. In NYC she attended the 2BHAPPY jewelry launch by Lorraine Schwartz and wore a stunning, boob-popping Versace. The knee length gold dress with fringe (see photos under) was paired with Christian Louboutin shoes for an eye-catching effect.

But it’s her love of Louboutin shoes that is becoming legendary. The Gossip Girl fed her shoe addiction in a mighty way as Blake picked up 40 pairs at an exclusive designer sample sale in the Big Apple. The shoe prices start at $150 – $225 for an estimated total of $9,000. That is quite a chunk of change.

“I have sisters, so I’m getting gifts for them and for friends,” the star explained before confessing, “Of course, I got quite a few for myself, too.”

She has very lucky sisters and friends! It’s her money and she looks great so why shouldn’t she?

Willow Smith is amazing on the red carpet of the 2010 American Music Awards held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles Sunday (November 21st) evening.

A custom made romper with a puffy yellow shoulder and buckles detailing – Willow is a standout among those who played it safe for the AMAs. Love her hair and her slouchy boots (no UGG’s for her) – this girl has serious style!

Willow was a presenter and introduced her friend, Justin Bieber, who performed his single “Pray” for the music show.

Taylor Swift nabbed the cover of Bliss magazine. The Speak Now singer spoke to the UK publication about her friend Selena Gomez and how she doesn’t like confrontation:

Are you a confrontational person? “No, I don’t like conflict. I don’t like to raise my voice. It’s just not something that I’m very good at or inclined to do, but it doesn’t mean I don’t get mad or hurt, or resentful or frustrated and feel those same things.”

Selena recently told BLISS she looks on you as a big sister – would you agree? “I’d definetly say we have a sister relationship. I’ve never had a sister but I think if I did and I had this sweet, perfect younger sister, it would be Selena. I feel like she’s my age, though. I forget she’s 18.”

The November issue featuring Taylor’s cover and interview is out now.

The 8th Annual Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party brought out Kendall Jenner for the celebration. She looked very sweet in her bright turquoise skirt and white top with black ribbon bow.

Stepping out Friday night to the 8th Annual Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party in Los Angeles was actress Nicola Peltz.

I think the young actress should be cast as a vampire in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – she is the on-screen sister to two Twilight stars:  Jackson Rathbone in The Last Airbender and she will have Robert Pattinson as a brother soon in the independent western, Unbound Captives.

AJ Michalka is starring in the upcoming Disney movie Secretariat. The young actress is playing Kate Tweedy, a hippie, war protesting, flower child of the late 60s and early 70s and daughter of Diane Lane’s Penny Chenery – the woman who literally bet the farm on a horse to win the Triple Crown. Michalka spoke to TeenHollywood about what a great time with this character, the wardrobe, has high praise for Lane and what her and her sister Aly are doing about new music for 78violet.

On Kate’s independant spirit: “I don’t feel like the role is that different than me. I wouldn’t say I was a war protester or a massive hippy chick. I don’t know if I’d go to the degree that Kate went to but I’m definitely free-spirited, very independent and very strong-willed and that’s very much like Kate throughout the script.”

How cool was the wardrobe? “I loved the wardrobe. It’s so fun being a part of a period piece. The last film I did (The Lovely Bones) also took place in a similar era so it was pretty neat to tap into that again.”

On meeting the real Kate: “Yeah. There is a real Kate Tweedy and the fact that I was able to portray a real person, then actually hang out with her off set was amazing. We would go over to her friend’s house and watch old footage of Secretariat racing and have dinners. It was just a surreal experience. Kate is a wonderful woman so, the fact that I look up to the real Kate as a human being is really cool. I don’t think a lot of actors can say that about someone they’ve played necessarily.”

On working with Diane Lane: “She’s incredible. It was amazing working with her. She’s very motherly, very endearing and really professional. I learned so much from her as an actress just watching how she worked. Everyone who was the family in the film became a family off screen. I think that shows on camera. It shows how close we all became. But Diane is definitely a mentor and so beautiful. I was honored to play her daughter.”

What’s up with 78violet? “Yeah. We are definitely still heavily into the music side of things. Aly is obviously filming ‘Hellcats’ but we have not strayed from our music. We’ve been busy promoting films; Aly having Easy A out and me having Secretariat coming out, we’ve been focused on both but we’ve not stopped writing and we actually recently wrote and recorded the theme song for ‘Hellcats’. It’s called ‘The Longhair’ and the first time you’ll hear it is on the 6th episode so we’re really excited about that.”

Secretariat hits the big screen on October 8th.
