Hey J-14ers,

Alice In Wonderland was one of my fave stories when I was a kid, which is why I was psyched to hear about Tim Burton's new reincarnation of the classic tale, starring Johnny Depp.

What I wasn't sure about was the Almost Alice soundtrack. Can 3OH!3, Avril Lavigne, and Metro Station really make music for the flick? And what are two of my fave bands, Motion City Soundtrack and the All-American Rejects, going to come up with? Turns out I have nothing to be worried about because there are two Alice in Wonderland soundtracks! One is the official score by Danny Elfman, while Almost Alice is music inspired by the Tim Burton flick.

I feel better already, especially after streaming 3OH!3's "Follow Me Down" on their MySpace page. Avril's track "Alice" will premiere on MySpace on February 4, followed by All Time Low's "Painting Flowers" -- which lead singer Alex told me exclusively that he was psyched to write -- on February 19. The whole album will stream on MySpace on February 28, with the album officially dropping on March 2.

I'm excited to hear the bands' takes on the story of Alice in Wonderland. Check out the full track listing after the jump.

Tell me - what do you think of an inspired soundtrack? Are you psyched to hear the musical collabs?

We've all seen him on the big screen -- but now it's time for Taylor Lautner to show us what he's got on the field! Football was one of the Twilight star's favorite things to do growing up, and now he's back playing in the 4th Annual DIRECTV Celebrity Beach Bowl. Also on the roster is Gossip Girl hottie Chace Crawford who will be competing with Taylor for MVP.

The All-American Rejects will perform after the game, so tune in for the stud-studded event live on The 101 Network, Saturday, February 6 at 1:30 p.m. ET! If you're lucky enough to live in the Miami area, you can watch the game for FREE if you show up at South Beach, Collins Ave between 21st and 22nd Sts at 12:30 p.m.

Will you be tuning in to see Taylor play football? If you could assemble a celeb sports team, who would be on it??

A Rocket To The Moon -- aka lead singer/guitarist Nick Santino, guiartist Justin Richards, bassist Eric Halvorsen, and drummer Andrew Cook -- stopped by the J-14 Magazine offices to tell us all about their new album, On Your Side! It drops tomorrow, October 13, and Nick says their pop/rock sound was infused with "a country feel." The boys described themselves as "All-American Rejects with Third Eye Blind and a male Taylor Swift."

And with catchy songs like "Annabelle" and "Dakota," we had to dig into the boy mind and ask them lots of girl questions -- namely who their celeb crushes are! Andrew likes Megan Fox and Nick said, who else, Taylor Swift!

Check out their exclusive shoutout to J-14 readers below, and look for their q&a soon!

The All-American Rejects are a band that you can always rely on for a song that you can't help but rock out to. Don't lie; you know you've danced around your room belting "Gives You Hell" into your hairbrush! We all love to unleash our inner rock star every now and then, but maybe sometimes we have a little too much fun perfecting our air guitar and forget to really listen to the words. The All-American Rejects' "Move Along" is the perfect song to rock out to, but it also has a simple message that is totally true!

Artist: The All-American Rejects

Song: "Move Along"

Lyrics: "And even when your hope is gone, move along, move along just to make it through. Move along."

Lesson Learned: The message is pretty straightforward here. Even if it seems like everything that could possibly go wrong has gone wrong and you feel like the end is nowhere in sight, just keep moving on because eventually everything will turn out to be okay! Maybe you got in a fight with your best friend or maybe your crush turned you down? Whatever the situation may be, it probably seems like it's the end of the world at the time. But chances are, your best friend will come to her senses or you'll find a crush who is cuter and nicer, and in no time you'll be looking back thinking, that wasn't as bad as it seemed after all...

More than anything I look forward to it every summer as a daylong escape for one hot day. And it's especially cool that people are going to see the Warped Tour in a new setting - movie theaters - with the Anniversary special!"
