AnnaSophia Robb has a relaxed vibe for her photo shoot in Foam magazine where she talks about her new movie Soul Surfer.

The 17 year-old actress immersed herself in surfing to portray Bethany Hamilton, the young competitive surfer who was attacked by a shark and lost her arm but never gave up and returned to ride the waves again.

Robb was lucky enough to have Hamilton be her instructor.

“She’s said to me, ‘I’m not a good teacher,’ but she really is!” Robb said. “She’ll mess around with me, and she always pushes me to go for a bigger wave and chastises me if I don’t. I’ve learned so much from her, which I’ll keep with me for the rest of my life. I’ll always know how to catch a wave and keep from getting pounded.”

The film costarring Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt and Carrie Underwood opens April 8th.

By the way, if you’ve never grabbed a copy of Foam magazine – get one today. It’s one of the few magazines out with a truly unique point of view.

Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian caused quite a stir earlier in the year when the duo was photographed frolicking in the surf of the Bahamas. Beliebers said very nasty and vile things to Kim K. on twitter and Justin had to ask his over-zealous fans to knock it off. (Honestly, it was pretty over-the-top ridiculous.) So what was really going down? A photoshoot for Elle magazine, that’s all. Using the theme of The Graduate, (an older woman seduces a much younger man – see the movie – and learn what a cougar really is) the September issue has all sorts of smoldering Kim and Justin looking on admiringly in a great photo spread. Here’s what Kim K. had to say about it:

“Remember those paparazzi pics of me and Justin Bieber in the Bahamas!? Well, I can now reveal that we were shooting for Elle Magazine! I just received the pics from the shoot and I absolutely LOVE how they turned out!The theme of the shoot was ‘The Graduate,’ for obvious reasons, LOL.

Justin and I had such a fun time together at the shoot. What do you guys think of the pics?”

The photos are fun and both Kim and Justin look fantastic. Check out the rest of the photos and the behind the scenes video below and tell us what you think.

Zac Efron is spending some time down under and learning to surf – all for a good cause. The Me and Orson star participated in Oakley’s Learn To Ride surf event to benefit the OneSight Foundation: a charitable organization with vision care programs, outreach, education and research. The sessions were held at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia.

Aimee Teegarden signed on for a surfing flick, Beautiful Waves, this past summer and now AnnaSophia Robb is beginning production on her new film, Soul Surfer. Robb’s movie is based on the real life experiences of Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm after being attacked in the water by a shark and went on to become a pro surfer.

“She’s super cool. A great girl,” Hamilton said of Robb. “We’ve met in Hawaii and hung out.” For post-attack scenes in which a one-armed stunt woman was needed, Hamilton stepped up. “They wanted a one-armed person doing it and that’s not easy to find,” Hamilton said.

Another surf movie is fine with me. I loved Robb (and Josh Hutcherson) in Bridge to Terabithia. and I can’t wait to see her in this.
