Joey King Is A Little Monster!

Joey King has some fun with the JJJ coasters after our interview with her earlier this month.

The 10-year-old actress tells us what it was really like meeting both Selena Gomez and Hutch Dano for the first time, what’s coming up next, and her huge obsession with Lady Gaga. Check it out:

On her reaction meeting Selena: “I wasn’t star struck by her because she’s a person too. My mom always reminds me that any celebrity, those people are just like you and they started off just like you. I wasn’t really like, “Oh my gosh! It’s Selena Gomez!” I think we really hit it off the first time we met. [Hutch is] very nice to work with. Working with him and Selena was really fun. I had a good time with both of them.

On being Lady Gaga’s biggest Little Monster: “But I am a humongous fan of Lady Gaga. I love her outfits! I like her because of her outfits! (laughs) And she’s really cool! I love her songs and I love her outfits, of course, and sometimes I’m like, ‘I want that. I want those sunglasses. I want that wig.’ I’m her biggest little monster cause she calls her fans her little monsters. If I ever meet her I’ll be like, ‘Lady Gaga I’m your biggest little monster!’”

On her next projects: “Battle: Los Angeles; I just filmed not too long ago. I filmed in Louisiana. First, I started at Shreveport then I went into Baton Rouge and it was really fun filming there. There’s tons of bugs there and so big! I was scared because we were there in hurricane season but it was fun filming there. Battle: Los Angeles is about an invasion, alien attacking and I had a great time filming and that comes out in 2011 cause it’s a Sci-Fi movie and I’m filming one right now. It’s not titled yet but it’s with Steve Carrell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Jonah Bobo.”

HAVE YOU SEEN RAMONA AND BEEZUS YET?

Selena Gomez – Beverly Cleary Wanted To Be Around To See The Movie!

Selena Gomez shares a sweet story about her new flick Ramona and Beezus with The View hosts on Wednesday morning (July 21) in NYC.

The 17-year-old actress shared of author Beverly Clearly’s involvement in the film, “They [the production team] weren’t actually going to tell us a lot about it. But after five years of convincing her, she wanted to still be around to see the movie. So, it was a big thing when they told the cast that. I was petrified because it’s an honor to be a part of this.”

Selena continued, “I think it’s great that she finally let us do it [make a movie of it]. We really took care of it and tried to make it the best.”

Don’t forget to catch Selena on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon TONIGHT!

Selena Gomez – Celebration Cake Convention!

Check out Selena Gomez’s cool birthday and celebration cakes!

The 18-year-old actress has a lot to celebrate — and you can see everything on one cake.

Here’s just some of what Sel had to celebrate: graduation, ‘Welcome back to Wizards of Waverly Place,’ Ramona and Beezus release, Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez launch, Kiss & Tell going gold, “Naturally” going platinum, getting her driver’s license and Monte Carlo.

Among the guests at her BBQ bash: Radio Disney host Ernie D, Joey King and Wizards mom Maria Canals-Barrera.


Selena Gomez Lost Her Voice!

Be thankful for modern technology!

Selena Gomez is breathtaking in a stunning LBD as she “chats” with George Lopez on Lopez Tonight on Monday night (July 26) in Los Angeles.

The 18-year-old actress actually lost her voice! Selena turned to a handy-dandy Dynavox machine and a dry-erase board to converse with the talk show host and comedian.

Selena told George about being good friends with Justin Bieber and teasing him about his height. She shared, “[I told him] ‘I’m not going to take off my heels. You’re short, embrace it.’”

On the show, George actually presented Selena with a gift basket from Warner Bros full of The Wizard of Oz merchandise and Dynavox donated their machine in her name to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles!

FYI: Selena was wearing Ippolita’s 18k Gold Polished Rock Candy Large Circle Earrings in Mother of Pearl, 18k Gold Rock Candy Gelato Bangle in Mother of Pearl, and an 18k Gold Polished Rock Candy Bean Bangle in Mother of Pearl.

Selena is about to turn 18.

But that does not mean that she is ready to fully enter the adult world.

In a recent interview with  Boston.com , Selena spoke about her role as Ramona’s big sis and how she deals when she feels nervous:

“What helps me is to use those feelings,” Selena adds. “When I get really nervous I like to talk about it or ask my mom what to do.”

The bigger lesson for kids dealing with adversity, Selena says, is that “Everything happens for a reason, and within each problem there’s a lesson you can learn.” Don’t be afraid that people will laugh or make fun of you, follow your passion, and keep your family close. “At the end of the day, family is all you’ve got,” she says.

The first option for the role of Beezus was not Selena, but Miley Cyrus! Miley asked for too much money to do the movie, so Selena was the next choice.

Joey King cuddles some stuffed animals close to her as she visits FAO Schwartz in NYC earlier in the week.

The 11-year-old actress caught up with JJJ to chat all about her new flick, her Ramona-isms and the funniest thing that happened on set. Check it:

On how she won the role of Ramona: “It took almost a year process to go through all the auditions and everything to see who they really wanted for Ramona. It was a long process but it was so much fun and I’m happy I got to play her. We have some similarities and differences. Her and I have like the personality. We’re both really energetic, outgoing and she has a sister. I have two. But there are some differences too. Like she has a cat – I have three dogs.”

On her favorite on set story: “Oh! Here’s a good one. Me and John [Corbett], he and I planned this out. He wanted me to pretend in a scene – this was the beginning of filming – He said, ‘Joey, I want you in the scene to pretend to get really mad at me’ and I guess I did a convincing job because the producers came up to us afterwards and said, ‘Don’t ever do that again. You almost gave us a heart attack.’ It as so funny.”

On how she bonded with the cast: my favorite about the cast… they were all so nice people. I love working with Bridget [Moynahan]. She was always so sweet and we always had fun. John [Corbett], he’s such a goofball. He’s so hilarious and Selena [Gomez] – we’re like sisters now. Everybody on set was fun to work with and I really liked the storyline because it’s really based on the books. I actually think it’s good that they mostly base everything on the books. I think that’s nice.

Stay tune to JJJ throughout the weekend for more of our interview with Joey!
