Gossip Teen

Lucy Hale is Teen Vogue’s cover girl for the Febraury 2011 issue.

The 21 year-old actress and the rest of Pretty Little Liars cast returned to ABC Family last night (after months of waiting!) with the new episode “Moments Later.” Hale is getting noticed as Aria on PLL and the star says she wasn’t even all that interested in acting at first. Hale says “I wanted to be a singer.”

She tells TVogue about how she got started in Hollywood, maybe music is in her future and the politics of show business:

On how she started out: “I’ve only been living here for a few years. I never thought about acting when I lived in Memphis—actually, pretty much the opposite. I wanted to be a singer. Someone randomly suggested I audition for a few things. I thought, Why not? And I got a role on [Nickelodeon's] Drake & Josh. It was literally just a sentence, but I was so excited to be an actress.”

Is she going to move into a music career? “All I can say is that if I ventured out into that world, it’d be a dream come true. I took guitar a while back, and my heart wasn’t in it at the time, but I’m ready to try it again. I sing in the car, at home—it’s a huge part of my life, especially since I’m from Tennessee. When I’m ready for it, I’m going to dive into it 100 percent.”

On how to handle the back-stabbing world, Hollywood or high school: “There’s jealousy everywhere and tons of politics. The problem is that people in L.A. never really have to grow up,” she says. “Everyone needs to chill out. There’s room for us all.” The solution she found (which, she adds, is “pretty much the same way you should deal with high school”) is simple. She says with a shrug, “Surround yourself with the right people, and realize your own worth. Honestly, there are enough bad people out there in the world—you don’t need to be your own worst enemy.”

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.

Twilight star Ashley Greene looks absolutely stunning gorgeous on the cover of the brand new 2010 issue of TeenPROM Magazine, on stands December 22, 2009. Ashley talks about how amazing her prom was and gives some advice for that big day in the life of the American teenager.

Ashley also became a spokesperson for DonateMyDress.org, which helps teen girls all over the country to find a fabulous prom dress when they cannot afford it. Here are some highlights from Ashley Greene’s TeenPROM interview:

On her prom experience: “My prom was great. I bought my dress and I pretty much paid for everything because my parents really didn’t have the money to pay for something like that. I worked for it, so I think it meant that much more to me because I had to save up. I went with my high school sweetheart and had a blast. I had that fairytale prom everyone talks about. It’s something I’ll remember forever.”

Prom advice from Ashley: “Definitely plan ahead because the actual day can be kind of stressful. Planning everything out helps a lot. When picking out your dress, make sure you’re really comfortable in it because you are going to be dancing around, moving around, sitting, eating and all of that stuff. Be yourself and don’t overdo it. People have a lot of anticipation for an event like prom and end up overdoing it or wearing too much makeup. Really make sure you are comfortable because then you’ll feel beautiful, instead of going overboard and asking yourself, ‘Oh my gosh, what did I do?’”

On DonateMyDress charity: “I had my prom dress forever until I became a part of the charity and donated it. It’s amazing to see girls’ faces light up [when given a dress]. It’s really fun because I get to interact with these girls and share the experience with them.”
