Gossip Teen

Ashley Tisdale is bringing her Blondie Girl Productions a little more business. The actress just inked a deal with RelativityReal to develop, produce and create projects for the small screen. The partnership between the two companies could be very successful for the High School Musical star.

No more Aliens In The Attic nonsense.

Here is the sneak peek of what happens in the third season of Disney’s wildly popular Wizards of Waverly Place starring Selena Gomez, David Henrie and Jennifer Stone.

Ok, let’s have a bit of a television moment here. ABC’s Dancing With The Stars is coming back in September with it’s largest cast ever and I thought we’d have a little fun here on GossipTeen: Which favorite teen stars would I chose if I could cast this show? Who would be the most interesting to watch weekly? Before I reveal the “sweet 16″ I selected, I eliminated Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Taylor Swift and Dakota Fanning. They were all easy choices and while everyone would want them, there is no way they would do it. Even though it’s fantasy, I wanted it to have some basis in how the contestants are really chosen for the show. It would be like asking George Clooney or Angelina Jolie to do the regular version: it would make for great television but it’s never gonna happen.

So let’s lay a bit of groundwork; some rules, so to speak:

First: Everyone is under 25, that should be obvious.

Second: I selected an equal mix of guys and gals.

Third: Like the original show, I added in athletes and musicians as well as actors.

Fourth: I did limit the amount of ‘Twilight’ kids.

Fifth: It’s subjective of course but I tried to get an interesting array of young celebs who would be fun to watch.

So there you have it - Part One is up after the jump. Come back later this week for Parts Two, Three and Four.

Up for an early morning call to the New York City set of the CW show ‘Gossip Girl,’ Hilary Duff arrived in a cute fedora ready to begin her day. The former ‘Lizzie MacGuire’ star is doing a short term role on the hit show as Jessica Szohr’s college roommate. The episodes begin airing October 4th.

Older men seem to have a special appeal to actress Evan Rachel Wood, 21. Now that she is free from Marilyn Manson, she has been seen around town with her former co-star Shane West, 31. The two met years ago when West played Wood’s television brother on the series ‘Once and Again.’ After the duo was seen at the premiere of her film ‘Whatever It Takes,’ speculation began and now they were photographed together at Hollywood hotspot Bardot, holding hands after celebrating West’s birthday on Friday. If it makes her happy, then I say good for her. She is smiling again and that is a pleasure to see.

There will be no wedding in the near future for Leighton Meester as was previously reported. The actress and her beau, Sebastian Stan are apparently not heading down the aisle as had been rumoured. Word of the duo getting hitched started when it was reported they had changed their status on their Facebook pages to “engaged.” Still no official denial or confirmation from either of the actors or their reps but we now hear that neither have a Facebook page.

MTV is teaming up with Emma Roberts to produce and possibly star in a show for the television channel. The cable channel is trying to revamp and reinvigorate it’s programming and has lots of new talent lined up, including Roberts. With more layoffs announced again yesterday, Viacom, MTV’s parent company, has lots of work ahead of itself to produce some unique new shows for the once innovative channel. Let’s hope Emma ends up in something good and not another lame ‘reality’ show that the channel is now known for.

Taylor Swift took a break from her Fearless tour and made a stop in Chicago to tape an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. The 19 year old country music singing sensation suprised a fan during Oprah’s final show in the series “Oprah’s Search for the World’s Smartest and Most Talented Kids.” The segment will air on May 18th so set your DVR’s.

The cutest country singer ever, Taylor Swift is set to do yet another television appearance. Swift is headed to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on CBS. Her character will be a troubled young teen who runs afoul of the law. No word on how big the part is or when it airs, but i suspect it will be on sometime in May for sweeps. How long before Hollywood starts calling for big movie roles for her?

Former O.C. star Mischa Barton may finally return to television on the hit show Ugly Betty. Her reps are in talks and while nothing is finalized yet, it would give her a much needed boost. The actress has been struggling to have a hit movie since leaving the show and now a possible return to the small screen might cement her as a television actress and not a viable movie star. But she needs to do something noteworthy and to get back in the public eye for something other than a DUI.
