aaron-craig sjodin-Abc.jpgHey M Girls!

Remember cutie Aaron Carter (little brother to Backstreet Band-er Nick Carter)? Well he's lacing up his dancing shoes as a contestant on this season's DWTS and one thing's for sure -- he's in it to win it! The new season premieres Sept. 21 and M exclusively talked to Aaron to get all the dancing deets!

Check out what he dished to us:

M: Hi Aaron! We're all excited to have you back! So what made you want do Dancing With the Stars?
AC: Everybody who joins Dancing With the Stars wants to go on to show people a different side of them. I really want to show everybody that I take competition very seriously. I've taken the last couple of years just to re-develop myself and just to make sure that people get to see a side of me that still's fun. I'm having a good time.

M: How's practice going? Are you sore already?
AC: I did a really smart thing. I took time to get some training ahead of time - having endurance, stamina, making sure that I'm not running out of breath. I've been putting in my all - 110%. 150%. It's funny because my partner Karina is always saying that I put in 150%.

M: I read that you're friends with past DWTS competitor Cody Linley. How did you guys meet?
AC: Cody and I did a charity basketball game for the Hollywood Knights in Hawaii. And that's where we met and we hit it off and he's my best friend. It's kind of funny how it works out, you know? One minute he's doing Dancing and next thing, I'm doing it.

M: Did he give you any tips or advice?
AC: I think he just wants me to go into it the same way he did. We're both very competitive - Cody's a very fierce competitor too and he's a good athlete, he's really in shape. We do Tai Chi together and all kinds of mediation - really good workout stuff together.

M: Do you think he'll come to cheer you on?
AC: I think he will! I think he will be there. I'm sure he's going to come and support his best friend.

M: Who do you think is your toughest competition right now?
AC: The really fierce competitor could be Michael Irvin. I'm a little worried about him, but everyone else is going to be given 110%, too.

M: Are you nervous for the first night?
AC: We're all going to be a little nervous for the first night. We have no idea what to expect. And no one wants to mess up! I'm worried about tripping Karina!

M: Have there been crazy bloopers?
AC: Oh my god, while we've been filming? Absolutely! There's been a blooper every second. Karina's dancing with ME, so you know there's going to be bloopers and you know it's going to be fun.

M: I know there's been some troubles with your family in the past. Can you talk about how it's going now and do you think they'll come to cheer you on?
AC: My relationship with my family is incredible and it's better than ever. My mom's doing great, my dad's doing really well. My whole family is doing really well. Just because my parents aren't together doesn't mean that we can't have a great relationship. We have a great relationship.

M: Right. So Aaron, how is it really to be back? Are you nervous for the fan's reactions?
AC: I'm excited to see their faces again and see people supporting me and seeing me for what it is that I do - entertainment. I'm very happy to be back and be given a second chance to prove to America and the rest of the world that I got what it takes. I'm gonna try to live up to Michael Jackson as much as I can. He's a big part of my life and we all miss him dearly.

M: Yeah, I hear that you have a jacket from him that you're going to wear for good luck?
AC: I do. I do. It's my good luck charm. It's something that he gave to me. All my hard work, he said to me, 'You've been working hard over the years, I had to do that, too, and I have two of these jackets and I want to give you this one.' It was just the most amazing thing and I'll never forget it. I'll never sell it. It's going to remain in my family forever.

Let's see if Aaron's good luck charm helps Aaron come home with the trophy! Make sure to check him out on Sept. 21 on ABC at 8/7 Central!

M Takes You Inside the Hannah Montana Movie Premiere!

miley:jen lowery:startraks.jpgHey M Girls!

Sarah here. Just got back to my hotel room from the premiere of Hannah Montana: The Movie! First of all, let me just say WOW. The movie was soooo cute (and so was Miley's co-star Lucas Till, BTW). I have lots to tell you - here's how it all went down:

I arrived on the red carpet with M's contest winner Crystal around 5:30. As we began walking down I spotted Meaghan Martin from Camp Rock!

It was only a matter of time before tons of stars started showing up. Minutes later, I saw Taylor Swift get out of her car in a gorgeous strapless sparkle dress! Her hair was up, but had these loose waves around her face. Tay was super-sweet and took tons of time signing autographs for fans.

After celebs like Demi Lovato and Cody Linley took their seats, the show started. Now, I'm not going to ruin it for you guys, but I will tell you, something goes down in the last scene of the movie that had all of the girls in the theater freaking out and cheering. That's all I'm gonna say, but I think you'll want to cheer when you see it, too!

So get this - once the movie screen faded to black, we all thought the party was over. Wrong! Suddenly the screen went up and behind it was Miley and her band! The crowd went wild. Mi sang her new hit "The Climb" as well as another song from the movie. Then her dad came out and sang two songs, too! And guess who was playing guitar in the band - Miley's big sis Brandy!

As I went to leave, I ran smack into Demi Lovato's mom and little sis in the lobby. Then, like two seconds later, Taylor Swift and Demi walked out of the theater together. I thought that would be the end to my star spotting until I went to take a phone call in the corner of the lobby. There I saw Cody hanging with Camp Rock's Meaghan and Anna Maria Perez de Taglé in a secret staircase. Cody was, as usual, cracking the girls up!

Now I know the burning question on everyone's mind is "DID THE JONAS BROTHERS SHOW UP TO THE PREMIERE?" Well, the answer is NO. Buuuuut, I talked to some of my inside sources and found out why! Turns out the Brothers Jonas were in the recording studio working on a song for their new CD.

Phew, what a long night! Check back here in the upcoming days for exclusive video and from the red carpet!

And I gotta know: Are you excited for the Hannah movie? Comment here and tell me your thoughts!

Check out more pics of the stars on the red carpet after the jump!

xoxo,
Sarah
