Fun Facts About Asher:
-Asher revealed to J-14 exclusively that he was the last person to be cast for Fame -- definitely a good final piece to the puzzle :)

-Asher used to audition with Zac Efron -- he was even up for the parts of Troy in High School Musical and Link in Hairspray!

Hi Hi Chicadees!
I don't know about you, but I will always have a soft spot for boy bands. Full disclosure: My walls were plastered with NYSNC posters back in the day. And more recently, I freaked out when Selena Gomez told me on the Princess Protection Program set that her ringtone is "Tearing Up My Heart" by the guys! Sigh!
Anyways, so as you would imagine, I was totally stoked when I got to cover
J-14's exclusive photo shoot with V Factory in NYC. The boys are such charmers and we had a blast that day -- I mean they did call the shoot the "best shoot they've ever done!"
Basically, I fell in love with a boy band all over again! (It didn't hurt that I also happen to see the guys shirtless -- but don't tell them, it'll be our little secret!
;-))
When Wes, Jared, Asher, Nathaniel, and Nicky T premiered their video for "Love Stuck" on Friday, it started my holiday weekend on a high note. I couldn't get the song out of my head ALL. WEEKEND. LONG. But trust me, I'm not complaining! In fact, I had a V Factory dream one night!
I dreamt that I was at a water park with the guys! LOL! The dream was complete with bright colored inner tubes, fast water slides, lazy rivers, and, of course, shirtless guys! (I must have still had the photo shoot on my mind! hehe) Talk about a sweet dream!
So I gotta know -- do you have dreams about your fave celebs? What's the craziest celeb dream you've ever had?
Don't hold back girls! Let's dish!

We were totally "Love Struck" when we got to spend the whole day with
V Factory at their exclusive J-14 photo shoot in NYC!
As Asher, Jared, Nicky T, Wesley, and Nathaniel got ready for the big shoot, we ate a yummy breakfast of eggs, oatmeal, bacon, and fruit. They dished to us how excited they are for their fans to see the video for their new song "Love Struck," which they shot the week before. They even showed us a special behind the scenes video on Jared's laptop!
We're not going to spill too many deets from the shoot - you'll have to check out J-14's August issue, out July 6, to see all the cool photos! The boys told us this was the "best shoot they've ever done!"
But keep checking J14.com this week for more exclusive videos from the shoot - the boys answered YOUR Twitter questions and played our new game, "14 Questions."
Are you into V Factory's music? Are they someone you want to see more of in J-14?
We were "Love Struck" today -- literally! -- when V Factory stopped by to spend the day with us! We kicked off the morning sharing Dunkin' Donuts Munchkins with the guys -- Asher Book, Wesley Quinn, Nick Teti, Jared Murillo, and Nate Flatt... and then we hung out with them for a lunch pizza party too! After spending so much time with the guys, we can genuinely say that not only can they dance and sing (we got a preview of the new tracks and they ROCK!), but they are seriously the sweetest and most fun guys in the entire world!
Jared and Wesley even Twittered about J-14 straight from our offices, so check out their official Twitters, which you can link to from the Official J-14 Magazine Twitter-- the first magazine to ever start Twittering!
So check out this exclusive J-14 video message above that V Factory recorded for you in our office! Plus, they include a response to The Miley & Mandy Show's recent episode where they talked about them (see below!).
J-14 got exclusive access to the stars of the upcoming movie FAME this week right in our backyard in New York City.
The movie stars Kay Panabaker (you might remember her as the preppy Debbie on Phil of the Future and as Jesse McCartney's little sister and Zac Efron's crush on Summerland...lucky girl!) as Jenny and Asher Book (yup, that's him from V Factory!) as Marco.
We watched them shoot a super dramatic scene on the rooftop of a midtown performing arts school (that just happened to be the school Asher went to in real life for three years!). But in between three separate takes, Kay and Asher were busy chatting it up with us... and creating this special video message, just for you J-14 readers!
And stay tuned to j14.com and upcoming issues of J-14 for more on FAME (out this September).
