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?

J-14 got up-close and personal with Idol top-three finalist, Danny Gokey, and he spilled about Kris and Adam, his jokester personality, and his famous glasses! Remember, tomorrow is the AI big season finale at 8 pm on FOX!

J-14: What did you learn from your experience on Idol?
Danny: I learned a lot about myself. I learned a lot about how pressure has an effect on a person. I think, for me, this whole experience I learned to overcome things in my life. You know, overcome insecurities, overcome doubt because sometimes there were times I just didn't want to go out on that stage because I just felt maybe unprepared or I felt like, "Man, is anyone going to like what I'm doing?" and I over-thought the process.

J-14: Tell us a little about the final two, Kris and Adam!
Danny: One thing I admire about Kris is that he's very mellow, and that's always one character trait I've always wanted. I'm a person who, you know, I'm an intense personality and times. And Adam, he's just an all around great guy. I really can't fault him on anything. Adam is who he is onstage and who he is offstage. He's very creative. He lives creative. He dresses creatively. He talks from that perspective.

J-14: So who do you think its going to take home the title?
Danny: Kris, you know, obviously he's really artistic, and Adam has a way on the show of capturing the audience. I think the thing is that people think that -- here's what I think, and I'm going to say it like this. People need to vote. Don't automatically assume someone -- don't have your assumptions. If you want some person to win, you've got to vote. I'm telling you. This competition is not over yet. This is going to be a very tight. I have a feeling it's going to be a very tight race.

J-14: What are you like behind the scenes? The prankster? The serious one?
Danny: I'm a jokester. I love joking around all the time because I just think it's funny. I like to laugh, and I make this farting noise out of my mouth, and I tend to go, and I'll go in places, and if sounds just like a fart. And I'll just, I'll do it, and people will give the funniest looks, and I crack up all the time. And I love to laugh. Ask every contestant on American Idol. That's what I do. I joke around a lot. It feels good.

J-14: How many pairs of glasses do you own?
Danny: I started in the beginning of the season with 15. And now I'm about 50 or more. I mean, being on American Idol, the blessings of glasses have rained from the sky, and more is to come, and I really would like to start maybe a Danny line or a Gokey line one of these days.

Who do you think is going to win American Idol? Do you wish Danny was still in the race?

Getting a chance to hang with Forever the Sickest Kids and Tina Parol at Bamboozle was one part totally crazy (those guys have SO MUCH energy!) and every other part super fun. I got to see one of Tina's first big live performances (she rocks, by the way!) and even caught an acoustic FTSK set! Don't be jealous though - you can catch both of them on tour!

J-14: Tell us about The Rockin' Rodeo Tour!
Jonathan: The Bamboozle road tour just ended and then we started on our headliner (The Rockin' Rodeo Tour), which is White Tie Affair, Rocket to the Moon, The Audition, Cash Cash, Tina Parol, Friday Night Boys, Kelsey and the Chaos, Mercy Mercedes - Forever the Sickest Kids! It's going to be really good. We're trying to decide if we're going to add a Dallas date.
Tina: On my dates I am the only girl. I'm a huge tomboy, and I grew up a tomboy so I'm still a tomboy! Or, as my mom always says, "A tomboy in heels!"

J-14: What are the hazing rituals? Have you guys initiated Tina yet?
Jonathan: Not yet! One of our biggest jokes that we do for the girls that come out on tour is we cut their hair into a buzz cut.
Tina: That's so not nice. I'm a little bit petrified, but my band is very protective and brotherly. Oh yeah, they could all kick your butt!

J-14: Was it important for you guys to have a few girls on tour?
FTSK: It's fun to mix it up. It's interesting.
Tina: And my tour manager's a female! I was like, "I need someone else there!" She's really cool. And they have lots of lady fans, lots of them. I worked with a photographer who worked with you guys on your EP cover, and she was like "I had fans emailing me if I would sell my toilet seat because Jonathan might have peed on it."

J-14: Have you guys had any crazy fan encounters?
Jonathan: I go to a big church near Kent's house and a girl came up to me the last time I was home and she was like, "I figured out where Kent lives, like, I saw his grandparents sitting out in front of their house."
Tina: In New York, if someone says that to you, you move. Right away!
Caleb: I always have girls calling my parents, which is really creepy. They always call me like, "Caleb, so-and-so called for you?" But I don't know anyone who has my house number...

J-14's Hatching Pete Countdown! In honor of Disney Channel's Hatching Pete April 24th premiere, J-14's giving fans an inside look at the characters and behind-the-scenes secrets straight from the cast!

We sat down with Tiffany Thornton on the Hatching Pete set and chatted about her character, cheerleading, her favorite scenes to film, and more!

J-14: Can you tell us about your character in Hatching Pete?
Tiffany: I play Jamie Wynn, the head cheerleader. She has a crush on Poole because he's the chicken and becomes really funny. She thinks she has to be with the funny person who's popular. She starts flirting with Poole in class and the next thing you know, they're pretty much together.

J-14: Were you a cheerleader?
Tiffany: I was a cheerleader all through junior high and high school, but I would never date someone just for popularity purposes! I actually have to like the person a whole lot to invest time into a relationship, but it's always cute to be the cheerleader/whoever-the-big-guy is couple. I think deep down a lot of times girls wish for that, but it takes a lot more work than it looks like in a movie. Boys are tough! I do relate to Jamie since I was a cheerleader in high school. I had a great time doing all that kind of stuff. It's fun to be able to do it again in the movie.

J-14: Which cast members have you bonded with the most?
Tiffany: Mitchel Musso and Jason Dolley are a joy to work with. They're sweethearts and gentlemen. They're so much fun and really make it an enjoyable experience. Josie Lopez is a sweetheart. She's from Florida, and I'm from Texas, so we have that back home thing going on. I've known her for a while, and she's amazingly talented. The person I bonded with most is Madison Riley who plays Camie, Mitchel Musso's sister. She is seriously the most hilarious person.

J-14: What was it like filming in a real high school with kids everywhere?
Tiffany: At first nobody really knew who we were, so they were a little confused. Now they've caught on. One day when we were shooting, the girls went nuts over Jason and Mitchel. I walked out of the set and towards our chair rack -- where they have our names on the chairs -- and there were girls out there taking pictures of Jason's chair. They just wait out there and are like, "They're coming back from lunch soon!" They're big fans. I think that's adorable!

J-14: What was your favorite scene to film?
Tiffany: I have two. My first is when we get to do the stunt scene, where we're up in the air. I have dreams about stunting because I haven't done it in so long. To be able to do that now is so much fun because I get to live out my dream. It was scary because you're up there, and you have to wobble around and look like you're falling. There's another scene where we're in the science room and I'm sitting next to Jason's character, Pete, and Mitchel comes in the room. Everyone's talking about the chicken. Jason is sitting next to me, and Jamie needs Pete to move. So I pick up his books, put them in his lap, and push him out. Then Poole comes in and sits next to me, and I flirt with him. There's a part where I hit him on the end of his nose with my eraser on my pencil. I was just joking around and did it once, and our director was like, "I like that," and I was like, "Okay, I'll keep flirting with an eraser!" It was a cute scene because I push Pete out of the way completely and then clear the space for Poole.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for another Hatching Pete cast member Q&A!

J-14 chatted exclusively with Scott Michael Foster who plays Cappie on the ABC Family show Greek. Read on to get the scoop on the new episodes that start back on March 30 (including deets on a new pledge played by Jesse McCartney!).

J-14: Where do the new episode of Greek pick up?
Scott: We left off at the end of freshman year for Rusty, and we pick up the beginning of his sophomore year, and he's going to be a big brother to a pledge. It's the new school year for everyone. Cappie helps him deal with the fact that's he's gone from a pledge taking all the orders to being a responsible, older brother. You're also going to see things happen with Evan and Cappie -- they're going to have some things to talk about so that's exciting for us. Our characters didn't get to do much in the last season and half, so it's exciting for us to work together.

J-14: Is it safe to say Casey is what they're talking about?
Scott: There're a lot of things that they're going to talk about. I'll give you that. It's a cool, fun twist for the season.

J-14: How has Cappie changed now that he's going into his senior year?
Scott: He's confident and comfortable because he knows he's going to be there for a while. He's not going anywhere. He wants to study as much as possible. He'll try every major and he's going to try and stay in school as long as he can. He's like Van Wilder -- seriously, he has no intentions of leaving.

J-14: What is your favorite part about playing Cappie?
Scott: The character has a lot of parties -- and shooting parties is a lot of fun. I never have to deal with anything heavily dramatic unless it's a love situation. I'm always in good spirits, having fun. It's awesome to play a character that's happy.

J-14: Speaking of the love interests, is there anything we can look forward to with Cappie in these episodes?
Scott: Absolutely. I don't want to give anything away, but you're going to see him realize that he was with one girl for so long. Now he's going to try and get back in the game. He finds someone that he used to have a crush on when he was a freshman and she was a senior at Zeta Beta. He wants to go on a date with her and for some reason, he can't land it. You'll see him level through some different girl scenarios. And of course, he still loves Casey, but who knows what will happen.

J-14: What was it like have Jesse McCartney join the cast?
Scott: He is awesome. We hit it off really well. I went to go see his show at the House of Blues [in LA]. He really knows what he's doing, and it was a pleasure to have him on.
