Hey J-14ers!

Interns Katie and Jenna here at the J-14 offices where we just caught a super sneak peek of the new 17 Again DVD that will be in stores on August 11th!

We know that all of you die-hard Zac Efron fans have probably seen it enough times to recite every line, but we're sure that won't stop you from buying the DVD and watching it a million more times. (You can never get enough Zac!)

Besides Zac being a total hottie, there are tons of LOL moments and a cute love story (Who wouldn't fall in love with Zac?!). Plus if you still want more Zac by the time the movie is over then you'll definitely love all of the special features that you can find on the Blu-Ray. There are tons of bloopers from on and off the set and not to mention 13 deleted scenes and a glimpse at what the cast was like when they were 17. There's even a Zac's Dance Flashback, where you can catch Zac busting out some 80s dance moves!

So make sure you're first in line on August 11th to get your copy of 17 Again! If we haven't made it obvious already, we'll definitely be picking it up the first chance we get.

Plus check out our Win It section where 5 lucky winners will score their very own copy of the DVD!

Love,
Interns Katie and Jenna <3

J-14 chatted exclusively to musician Steve Rushton who told us about his music, working on the set of Hannah Montana: The Movie, and what he really thought of 17 Again.

J-14: How did you first get interested in music?

Steve Rushton: I started playing guitar when I was about 7. Then I got into Green Day when I was about 12. I wanted to be a singer and a guitarist and write all of my songs just like Billy Joe [Armstrong] from Green Day.

J-14: What songs did you write for Hannah Montana: The Movie?

Steve: I came to the U.S. for Hannah Montana. "Game Over" is one of my songs in the movie and I wrote it when I was 17. And then I also wrote another song specifically for the movie called "Everything I Want."

J-14: Why do you think your song fit into Hannah Montana: The Movie so well?

Steve: I think it's because it's young and it has good energy. It sounds fun and that's what they wanted for the movie. It's not that far away from something that Hannah Montana would sing.

J-14: What was it like filming your scenes in Hannah Montana: The Movie?

Steve: It was so much fun! Miley was a lot of fun and we had a lot of laughs. There was a really good vibe on the set and it was good to hear my song blasted on the speakers on the Santa Monica Pier.

J-14: We also saw that you at the 17 Again premiere. What was that like?

Steve: It was good! It was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed the movie, it was really good. I didn't think it was going to be as good as it was -- Zac did a great job!

J-14 is totally smitten by hottie Adam Gregory! Not only does he play Ty on 90210, but he was also in 17 Again, Hannah Montana: The Movie, AND he plays Ashley Tisdale's ex-BF in her music video for "It's Alright, It's Okay." Check out our exclusive interview with the star and don't forget to watch the shocking season finale of 90210 on tonight at 9 pm on The CW -- someone is going to die!

J-14: Adrianna's (Jessica Lowndes) water broke last week at prom -- any baby spoilers you can give us?
Adam: I can't really. You don't want to know! Tonight's episode is really going to show how Ty handles the baby and how strong Navid (Michael Steger) and Adrianna are.

J-14: We heard Brenda (Shannen Doherty) is going to adopt Adrianna's baby!
Adam: That is the rumor isn't it? I heard that. That sounds really juicy. (laughs)

J-14: Okay fine -- you win! So tell us what it was like working with big stars like Miley and Zac?
Adam: It was really cool. It was blessing that they even allowed me to show my face for a short amount of time on those films. I was really excited about it. I got to work with Zac and he's a really laidback, chill guy -- very professional. It was really cool to work with him to see just how professional he is and I learned a lot.

J-14: What was it like working with Ashley Tisdale?
AG: She's pretty simple to me -- she's just a cool girl.

J-14: How did you end up in her video?
AG: I don't even know. They just asked me. I guess she has 90210 viewing parties or something like that and she's really good friends with Shenae Grimes 'cause they did a film together called Picture This. She was watching the show for Shenae and I happened to be Shenae's love interest, playing Ty, so she saw me and thought, I guess, I was cute enough to be in her video and decided to make me her ex-boyfriend.

J-14: Ashley's album is called Guilty Pleasure. What's your guilty pleasure?
Adam: There's this pizza shop out here called Cicero's. It's out in L.A. and Santa Monica and they have two large pizzas -- it's buy one get one free and they're the best pizzas ever. They're so good!

J-14: And we have to know, what do you look for in a girl?
Adam: That is a very good question because I'm trying to find that out myself. So far I'm pretty much dazzled by eyes and the smile.

Do you watch 90210? Who do you think is going to die?

Again." she Tweeted from her Blackberry.

Other activities the stars were up to today? Some were hard at work: Jordin Sparks had choreography rehearsal, Miranda Cosgrove read to kids with Shia LaBeouf and Jesse McCartney, Taylor Swift kicked off her tour and was on the bus to Indiana, and Mitchel Musso was busy writing music.

Others spent the day relaxing: Joel Madden had an "awesome" brunch with Nicole Richie and baby Harlow, and Wizards of Waverly Place's Jennifer Stone hit up a flea market. And Miley Cyrus was busy traveling in Europe, and squeezed in some sight-seeing in Rome!

Zac Efron will host Saturday Night Live this Saturday, April 11. "I'm so excited to host SNL," Zac says. "I leave tonight on the red eye and we start working on the show tomorrow." Zac says it's been a dream of his since he was 10! "This is what I want to get back to."

J-14 got the scoop early on directly from Zac's BFF, actor Bubba Lewis. "Saturday Night Live is amazing and we used to just watch it and laugh at all the people," Bubba tells J-14 exclusively. "I remember when I heard about it -- I really am amazed. A lot of hard work is paid off. I'm so happy for him and I think he'll do a really good job because he's really funny. It should be really funny!"

Will you guys watch Zac on SNL this weekend?

Since the Twitter phenomenon took off, we've all been following all of our favorite stars during their in every step of their lives! J-14 was the first teen magazine to start Twittering -- so now we're on Twitter Patrol to get to the bottom of the Fake Twitterers out there!

First up, Hannah Montana: The Movie's Lucas Till does NOT Twitter. We got the scoop straight from him just moments ago. "Actually no, that's an imposter," Lucas said. "I don't have a Twitter yet. Its so frustrating! My friends all the time are like, 'Hey you're coming to New York?' And I'm like, 'Yeahhhh...how did you know that?' I don't have a Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter. And they get really personal photos too sometimes! It's really weird."

Next, we talked to Sonny with a Chance and 17 Again star Sterling Knight last week and his too is a fake! "No, I do not have a Twitter," he tells J-14 exclusively. "No Twitter for Sterling."

But that doesn't mean they're all fake! There are some real celeb Twitterers out there.

Hannah Montana's Mitchel Musso's is real. "I just like that it can be the middle of the night and you can send out that text and get literally everyone texting you back," he tells J-14 exclusively. "They want to hear what you have to say. You can be as deep as you want. I remember I was with my buddy and we were on Twitter and he follows John Mayer, who sent out this massive text that just said, 'Can anyone tell me why I'm sitting in my bathtub with my guitar by myself?' or something like that. And all of these girls texted back."

The Suite Life on Deck star Debby Ryan is "obsessed" with Twitter too. "I got my friend Emma obsessed, too," she tells J-14 exclusively. "I told her, 'I want to keep you updated and you can keep me updated!' When I was going onto MySpace, I realized I was just going on to change my status and check my stuff and then leave. That's what I love about Twitter, you can look and in 10 seconds you can see, "Oh, Miley had a photo shoot. Demi can't wait to see Selena again." It's very cool because you can know people's plans and when people are free and when people aren't."

David Henrie of Wizards of Waverly Place is also an active (and real!) Tweeter. "It's fun to talk to fans and I can say funny stuff," he tells J-14. "It makes people's day sometimes!"

Do you Twitter? What celeb Tweets do you follow? And don't forgot to follow J-14's OFFICIAL Twitter at twitter.com/j14magazine.
