Selena Gomez And Other Stars Who Ditched Their Purity Rings

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comDecember 28, 2010 //

Ever since Selena Gomez turned 12 years old, there’s one accessory you never catch her without—her purity ring. But lately, the 16-year-old has been seen sans ring while out and about with young Justin Bieber. When they were seen holding hands outside an IHOP, no ring. When they were caught hugging and ran onto his tour bus in Miami, no ring. So did Selena lose the ring? Or does she keep forgetting to put it on in the morning? Or is this a sign that she’s ditched her chastity pledge and is on the road to Britney Spears-dom? [She Knows]

After the jump, a few other stars who’ve ditched their purity rings. Keep reading »

5 Kind-Of-Wack Things Stars Have Done For Their Voices

Amelia McDonell-ParrySeptember 26, 2010 //

Selena Gomez told Ellen DeGeneres on her show that her pre-show warm-up routine is not a pleasant one—she drinks olive oil. Selena said, “It’s awful… You let it go down and it coats your throat. I gag every time.” Apparently, she read that it was Kelly Clarkson‘s trick in a magazine and “just copied her.” I guess if it’s working, then she should chug away! [People]

When I did musical theater in high school, we used to spray something called Singer’s Saving Grace down our throats which really pissed off our vocal teachers for some reason. But beyond the old tea and honey trick and embarrassing warm-up routines, some of the following singers have some pretty weird voice-saving habits. Keep reading »

Can “Ramona and Beezus” Live Up To The Books And TV Show?

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJuly 23, 2010 //


“Ramona and Beezus” opens today, and even though I loved the Ramona books, I’m feeling apprehensive. Ramona came in second only to Nancy Drew for me when I was a kid, and I tore through all seven books in the series in rapid succession. (An eighth book was released in 1999, but I’ve never checked that one out.) I loved Ramona for being a tomboy who tells it like it is, who isn’t afraid to get dirty, and who regularly exercises her out-there imagination. I loved that she butted heads with her too-sensible, too popularity-focused big sister, Beezus. And I guess that’s what has me nervous here. From the previews, it looks like these two get along way, way too well. Aren’t they supposed to be at odds until those special moments when (a) they realize the other is truly hurting and come together or (b) are trying to pull a fast one on their parents?

I guess the other issue here is that I loved the television version of “Ramona,” starring a very young Sarah Polley. Keep reading »

Famous Teen Enters the Fashion Design Game, Ahem

Bianca PosterliOctober 15, 2009 //

Seems like everyone wants to be a fashion designer these days, especially celebrities. Selena Gomez — yes, that chick on the Disney Channel — decided that she’d like to join in the fashion fun, so here comes Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez. “Growing up in Texas, I was sort of close-minded and kind of a tomboy, but as I’ve traveled, I found such a love of clothes,” Selena said. “It’s really always been a dream of mine to have a line.”

To turn that dream into, uh, clothes, she began working with former Generra designer Tony Melillo and Sandra Campos. Born was a collection based on her own style, which is a mix of “pretty, feminine and bohemian” looks, and is partially made with organic and recycled or eco-friendly fabrics. The line will launch for fall 2010, but so far they’re still looking for a retail store to partner with exclusively. So you’ll have to hold your breath on where to purchase the Selena looks you love. Um, yeah. There’s always The Disney Store! [WWD] Keep reading »

Ramona Quimby Gets Prettified

Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 8, 2009 //

Before I got obsessed with the Little House On The Prairie series or the Anne of Green Gables series, and well before I tackled Sweet Valley High or V.C. Andrews, I was obsessed with Ramona Quimby, the protagonist in Beverly Cleary’s AMAZING series of books. To this day, there are two scenes I remember vividly — when Ramona squeezed and entire fresh tube of toothpaste into the sink, because she just couldn’t resist, and when Ramona’s mom served tongue for dinner. Those books were freaking awesome and in 1988, there was even a shortlived, Canadian-produced TV series based on the series, starring Sarah Polley as Ramona.

Well now Ramona is headed to the big screen, which would be exciting, if not for the casting. In the forthcoming “Beezus & Ramona” (also the title of the first book in the series), Ramona will be played by “up-and-coming” actress Joey King, while, Beezus, Ramona’s older sister, will be played by…wait for it…Disney pop star Selena Gomez. Say WHAT? Keep reading »
