Hey J-14ers,
New York City is pretty busy right about now, thanks to all the New York Fashion Week happenings going on around town, and this Jersey girl got to see it all first-hand! I hung out at the Caravan event during last evening's Fashion's Night Out extravaganza that took place at stores across NYC.
Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta co-hosted the event, along with All-American Reject's Tyson Ritter, and Gabe even took over the DJ booth for an hour! He told me he didn't think he was a great DJ, but I thought he did a great job! We heard some sweet tunes from the Ting Tings and Cobra (of course!) throughout the night, and who can complain about that? Gabe and I got to catch up again (remember, he was just in the J-14 offices a few weeks ago!) -- turns out Gabe and I went to high school in the same town! I'm always psyched to see Gabe though -- not only do I love their hit single, "Good Girls Go Bad," Gabe's a super nice guy and he used to be the lead singer of one of my fave bands from back in the day, Midtown.
But the night didn't end there! I also saw Greek's Spencer Grammer and Sonny With A Chance's Tiffany Thornton! And at the end of the night, I ran into one of my fave singers, One Tree Hill's Kate Voegele, who was wearing the cutest red dress with a little bubble hem. I last saw her play at Highline Ballroom back in May, and she told me she was just in town for Fashion Week, but she'll be back in NYC this fall on another tour.
It was a night full of fun, sweet music and fashion, and awesome tour news. Plus, I got a sweet prize signed just by Gabe for a lucky winner -- but you'll have to wait for an upcoming issue to get the deets on that! ;)
What do you think of Cobra Starship and lead singer Gabe? Are you into "Good Girls Go Bad?" And what fashions are you psyched for this fall?
<3,
Emily, J-14 editor

Your fave Disney stars like Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, the Jonas Brothers, and Demi Lovato are coming together to help save the environment.
Disney's Friends for Change: Project Green will help bring awareness to four major areas in our environment: climate, water, waste, and habitats. Demi tells J-14, "The issue that's the most important to me is definitely global warming. I think we all need to make a difference."
You will have the opportunity to vote on how Disney will spend $1 million in donations to save the planet. Starting tomorrow the stars from the House of the Mouse, will be doing special environmental commercials on Disney Channel, Disney XD, Radio Disney, and Disney.com.
And what's Dylan Sprouse's going-green advice to you? Don't just sit around! "Don't be lazy because that is the main contributor to not being green. I literally know people who will turn on the sink when they should be brushing their teeth just to fake it. That's so lame. Don't be lazy," the Suite Life star tells J-14.
What do you do to help save the planet? And which of the Disney Channel stars in the group pic is your fave?

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!"

"We'd love to have Demi on [Wizards] and I'd love to be a guest star on her show."
