			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Movie: Ramona and Beezus (2010)<br />
Cast: Joey King, Selena Gomez, and John Corbett<br />
Movie Rating: G<br />
Running Time: 1 hr. 44 min.<br />
Sparkling Stars Reviewer Says: “Ramona shows us that sometimes big different is a good thing.”</p>
<p>Ramona and Beezus is based on the best-selling books by Beverly Cleary. It follows the vivid imagination of a young girl named Romon, who doesn&#8217;t only have boundless energy but is accident-prone as well. <a href="http://www.sparklingstars.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ramona-and-beezus_opt.jpg"><img src="http://www.sparklingstars.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ramona-and-beezus_opt.jpg" alt="" title="ramona-and-beezus_opt" width="150" height="225" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2630" align="left"/></a>She has to deal with over-achieving older sister Beezus and her Aunt Bea starting things up again with her former beau, and her family&#8217;s financial problems. </p>
<p>In the film Ramona shows us that sometimes big different is a good thing, and although sometimes her action made bad situations her intentions were good. However, the sister relationship was not as close I would have liked it to have been. Although, the age differents between the two girls was quite far apart I still belive they could have had a stonger bond, nevertheless you did see that closeness in certain scenes of the movie that will make every pair of sister feel lucky to have one another. </p>
<p>The flim also has message about real life and the ups and downs we face. It proves that sometimes we might go or are going through a ruff patch but there is always tomorrow and things will get better as long as we have the ones we love nothing can keep us down. So, take a tip Ramona step outside the box, color out of lines, live tomorrow today. </p>

<p>14. Mae Whitman: Probably best known now a day for her role as rebel daughter Amber Holt on the NBC series Parenthood, but her first big time roles came back in 1996, where she stared in the bock buster hit, Independence Day. Another big role for her is when she was casted as George Clooney’s daughter in the feature film &#8220;One Fine Day,&#8221; she also went on to play the daughter of Sandra Bullock in “Hope Floats.” Mae has had guest arcs on the shows “JAG” and “Arrested Development.” In 2001 she stared as Emma Grace McKee in the somewhat popular TV series “State of Grace,” she has even down many voiceovers for animated films and shows; like Dragon Slaver Rose in Disney Channel’s American Dragon: Jake Long and Katara in &#8220;Avatar: The Last Airbender,&#8221; and lately you can catch her as the voice of Tinker Bell in the Disney direct to DVD movies based of the pixie. So, even those she isn’t much in the Hollywood tabloids she has got an amazing career behind her and I’m sure ahead of her.  </p>
<p>Coming Soon: Of course Whitman will continue her role as Amber Holt in season 2 of Parent. She will also give voice to Tinker Bell in the newest film in the movie series “Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue” out on DVD in September 2010, and again in 2011 for “Tinker Bell: A Winter Story.” She got another animated flick coming out December 2010 “Firedog,” and coming out in 2011 she will be staring in the movie “The Factory.”  She is rumored to star in the “Arrested Development” movie out in 2012 but know official confirmation has been made yet.</p>

<p>13. AnnaLynne McCord: This 5’7’ blond haired and green eyed girl who’s been modeling since the age of fifteen is known as high school bitch and drama queen on the CW series 90210. But, McCord is very different from her 90210 counterpart Naomi Clark; her father is a pastor and she was home-schooled and graduated from high school at only   15.  Besides “90210” she had a twelve episode arc on the show Nip/Tuck, played a cheerleader in the film “Fired Up!”, and started in the suspenseful, The Haunting of Molly Hartley. AnnaLynne doesn’t have many known roles under her belt just yet but wait and see the blond beauty is going to be seen. </p>
<p>Coming Soon: She will be returning as Naomi Clark for season 3 of 90210 which premiers on the CW September 13, 2010, as well as staring in some movies; like Two Wolves a horror film that is supposed to be released this year. In twenty-eleven  she stars along side  Val Kilmer and 50 Cent in not only Blood Out but the flick Gun too.  </p>

<p>12. Alyson Michalka: You might remember her from the Disney Channel original series Phil of the Future where she played Keely Teslow ; on a show about a family from the future who  inadvertently gets stuck in 2004 and most learn to live like a normal family in a time not their own. Perhaps you know her from her musical duo with her sister 78 Violet (formerly known as Aly and Aj) who have released two very successful albums not including their popular Christmas CD. She has blossomed in not only the acting but musical filed, and has come along way from Disney.     </p>
<p>Coming Soon: With the new name of 78 Violet we were hoping to get some new tunes too, although the sisters are still writing songs and finding out which direction they want to take their harmony in, they have put their music on the back burner to focus on acting. Aly will be staring in “Easy A” which hits theaters September 17, 2010, and February of 2011 she can be seen in the film “The Roommate.” She is also part of the cast of the CW series &#8220;Hellcats,&#8221; the show is set to premier on September 8, 2010. </p>
<p><object width="380" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/80ot047NYZ8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/80ot047NYZ8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="380" height="285"></embed></object></p>
<p>11. Selena Gomez: It is true that every little thing she does is magic. Selena hasn’t done bad from staring career off on Barney and after that she had to go through guest appearances on hit Disney Channel shows before landing the role that has made her a household name, Alex Russo on Wizards of Waverly Place.  She then took that star power and turned her talent to music with “Selena Gomez and the Scene” and showed us what a wonderful actress she is in not only the Wizards of Waverly Place TV movie, but her first feature film “Ramona and Beezus.” She has proven that good girls finish first and any role can be the staring point for stardom.</p>
<p>Coming Soon: Although, Selena loves her job this young starlet wants to take a small step away from Hollywood and to University, since through with high school she is hoping to branch out to college and maybe do the acting on the side. But, don’t worry she  is currently working on her second album and has released the single “Round and Round” to give her fans a taste of what it will be like. The film “Monte Carlo” that she filmed earlier this year has set the released date of February 11, 2011. As for wizards it is like the old saying goes “all good things must come to an end;” since she has chosen to put her attention on movies and music it leaves little time for the show, I ‘m sad to say after the series fourth season we must bid farewell to waverly place however Gomez has confirmed a “Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie Sequel” for 2011.  </p>
<p><object width="380" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BTbxWTkV4mQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BTbxWTkV4mQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="380" height="285"></embed></object>  </p>
<p>10.  Nina Dobrev: From young motherhood to vampire love triangles her resume is filled with a variety of different types of shows and movies. Her big break was on &#8220;Degrassi: The Next Generation&#8221; where she played the role of Mia Jones a teenaged mother trying her best to support her daughter and get good grades, all while having social life. Nina has stared in some TV movies like “Too Young to Marry,” the thriller “My Daughter’s Secret,” and MTV’s “The American Mall;” which just so happens to be a musical and gave her the chance to show off her singing and dancing abilities. Now, she is the main character on the CW show “The Vampire Diaries” based on the book series by L.J. Smith and is a role and show that not only Nina but her fans can really sink their teeth into.</p>

<p>9.  Miley Cyrus: All around the world young girls love her songs and show but miss Cyrus has showed us sometimes little girls grow up even her. Miley came into the spotlight when the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana first aired; on the show she play Miley Stewart a normal teenage girl with big secret, when day turns to night Miley turns to Hannah Montana a big Hollywood popstar. The show became a huge hit and lead to a Hannah Montana album and tour where Miley got to give fans a taste of her music as well, and she has even branched out by releasing to albums one is a country pop album “Breakout” and the other is more a grown up Miley “Can’t Be Tamped.” She has token her acting to new heights by staring in the block buster film “Hannah Montana: The Movie” and “The Last Song,” but when the day ends she is still just an average girl.     </p>

Other feature films you might see her in are “Wake,” “Wings,” and “Family Bond” however know actual details has gotten out about these movies and Miley nor her people have confirmed that she has in fact been casted in any of them.    </p>

<p>8. Miranda Cosgrove: She started acting at the age of ten alongside Jack Black in the flick “The School of Rock” and in 2005 she went on to star with a number of young actors in the remake movie “Yours, Mine and Ours.” Although, her film career is great TV is what she is known for, this Nickelodeon beauty was the little sister nobody ever wanted, Megan Parker in the half and hour tween comedy “Drake and Josh.” The show lasted for four years and had to successful TV movies, one had 8.93 million viewers which broke the record of most viewers for the debut of a Nickelodeon movie. Once the series was over Cosgrove head to another Nickelodeon set to start work on her new show, iCarly; the series follows Carly Shay and her best friends who decide to create their own web show, iCarly. The show has proven to be another hit for Miranda, but acting isn’t her only talent she finally got the chance to put out her first album “Sparks Fly” which did fairly well in stores.           </p>
<p>Coming Soon: Their have been rumors going around the iCarly will be ending after its fourth season however Miranda herself has not confirmed the shows ending. What we do no is that there is an untitled iCarly project in development for 2011 and for twenty-twelfth she will star in the Nickelodeon Movie “How Could You Do This to Me?”</p>

<p>7.  Debby Ryan: She recently stepped into the limelight in 2008 when she landed herself the role of Bailey Pickett on The Suite Life on Deck the spin-off to the Disney Channel show “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.” She has gotten the chance to star in her first Disney Channel original movie “16 Wishes” and redo the track “Hakuna Matata” (The Lion King) for DisneyMania 7. She is living her dream and still trying to get use to fame, her down to earth attitude is what we love about her as well as her talent.</p>
<p>Coming Soon: As of now she is still working on “The Suite Life on Deck” and in selected theaters you can see the film “What If&#8230;” where she plays Kimberly Walker in a movie that will leave you asking, what if you had made a different chose in life? Besides that she doesn’t have much on her plate but you can get a glimpse of what she like off screen by checking out her YouTube page “TheDebbyRyanOfficial.”</p>

<p>6.  Lucy Hale: Her career on the small screen has been pretty good but has one big down fall her shows can’t seem to stay on the air, she had series regular role on the short lived series “Bionic Woman” and the CW show “Privileged” which only lasted a season. She has done some guest appearances on hit shows like “Wizards of Waverly Place” and “Private Practice,” Lucy has also started in the TV movies “Sorority Wars” and “Deep Cove.” But has she come to find her place in TV? We think so with the ABC family series “Pretty Little Liars” based on the series of novels by Sara Shepard; the show follows four former friends who come together again to uncover an anonymous foe who threatens to expose their darkest secrets.    </p>
<p>Coming Soon: ABC family has ordered a complete season of “Pretty Little Liars,” which means 21 episodes due to the fact that the show brings in 2 million viewers per episode so there are high hopes for a second season. Other then waiting for the second season go a head and  the first half of season one to being airing, Hale is busy promoting the show through interviews and live chats. </p>

<p>5.  Victoria Justice: She is shining on the Nickelodeon show Victorious; about a girl who attends an élite school for young performers. The show was the highest rated live-action series debut for the channel and has kept up those numbers throughout the season. So, it is kind of funny to think she launch her career with a small guest role on the Disney Channel original show The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, because she is Nick girl through and through; with her three season role on  Nickelodeon’s  Zoey 101 and TV movie “Spectacular!” we just can’t get enough of her.     </p>
<p>Coming Soon: The official go head for “Victorious” season two has not been given yet but things are looking good. However, a soundtrack for the show will be put out where you can get all the songs heard on the show and Victoria has mentioned something about her solo album coming out hopeful next year. As for acting she will be staring Brooke Shields in the TV movie “The Boy Who Cried Werewolf” out late 2010.  </p>

<p>4. Emma Roberts: She has tried her best to separate herself from the titled of Julia Roberts niece and stand on her own in Hollywood by taking on roles that are classic and some a bit out there. Her role as Nancy Drew in the Nancy Drew movie was a make it or break it one because it was such a classic character, nevertheless Emma took on the character and made it her own with not big but some payoff. She stared in “Lymelife” which was a more grown up role then the ones she portrayed in “Hotel for Dogs” and “Wild Chlid.” Emma even got the chance to star with aunt Julia in the movie “Valentine’s Day” true the two had no scenes together, Emma has stated that it was great to just get be in the same movie as her aunt. This great actress has come a long way from her Unfabulous days and will continue to grace the big screen.      </p>
<p>Coming Soon: There is no rest for the starlet her work schedule is crazy from; Twelve, Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac, 4.3.2.1, Homework, A Great Education, &#038; It&#8217;s Kind of a Funny Story all rumored to be released later this year, Roberts is also working on the feature film Scream 4 out April 2011, which could be a breakout role for her. She has also been casted in comedy “High School Sweethearts” out 2011. </p>

<p>3. Malese Jow : This 19 year old actress played Geena Fabiano on the tween show Unfabulous and did a few guest roles on Wizards of Waverly Place, Hannah Montana, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and iCarly but it was her eleven episode arc on the CW series The Vampire Diaries as vampire Anna that boosted her career. The character became a favorite among fans of the show and lead to Malese coming up with the idea of Team Anna; do the fact that there is team Edward, team Jacob, team Stefan, and team Damon but no support for a vampire girl. Team Anna spread like a wildfire and launched Team Anna TV shirts, hats, and supporters everywhere but unfortunately her character was staked and will not be returning to the show. But, like Malese has said before Team Anna forever!           </p>
<p>Coming Soon: She has mentioned in a video on her YouTube channel (Xomalese) about a new series she will be staring in saying that she is enjoying the character and the role is freaking cool. Malese also has a role in the film “The Social Network” out October 2010 and the 2011 flick “Wulf,” also don’t forget to pick up The Vampire Diaries season one on DVD August 31, 2010 to see watch Anna in action. </p>

<p>2. Ashley Tisdale: Disney sure knows how to pick them; Tisdale was discovered in a mall at the age of three but it took her many years before getting the role of Maddie Fitzpatrick on the Disney Channel series “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” and the mean girl role of Sharpay Evans in the TV musical movie “High School Musical” that most believe launched her career. She has done all three films in the High School Musical franchise, has put out two albums of her own (Headstrong and Guilty Pleasure), and has lends her voice to the Disney Channel cartoon Phineas and Ferb which won the 2010 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Writing in Animation. Ashley was once told that she wouldn’t make it in Hollywood by numerous people and she didn’t let that stop her in going after her dreams and proving them wrong.         </p>
<p>Coming Soon: This fall she will star with Alyson Michalka in the CW series Hellcats premiering September 8, 2010 and in twenty-eleven  step in Sharpay’s shoes once again in the TV movie “Sharpay&#8217;s Fabulous Adventure.” A third season of Phineas and Ferb has been confirmed to be in the works, also there is a rumor that Ashley will star in “High School Musical 4: East Meets West.”  </p>

<p>1. Brittany Robertson: She was Samantha Saxton on Swingtown and played an energetic fifteen year old who know matter what her father thinks the love her and her boyfriend share is genuine, in “Dan in Real Life.” Now, Brittany stars as Lux Cassidy in the drama series Life Unexpected that airing on the CW and follows Lux a fifteen year old orphan who seeks out her birth parent in order for them to give up their legal rights to her so that she can petition for emancipation, however the judge rules that Lux must move in with her birth parent who will be her guardians, giving her finally the chance at the family she has always wanted.  This role has shown us the acting ability that  Brittany possessed and claimed her the title of Sparkling Stars Revolution Girl.</p>
<p>Coming Soon: Lucky for us the CW has picked up Life Unexpected for a second season that will being airing September 14, 2010; where we are sure to see more drama, romance, and a One Tree Hill crossover episode. Robertson filmed the movie “The Family Tree” a while back and although there is no exact release date set for it you can hopeful expected it out sometime later this year or early 2011. Also, in twenty-eleven her fan will be dying to see her next project; a Disney Channel original movie called “Avalon High,” that is right she scored the role of Ellie Pennington in the TV movie based on the novel by Meg Cabot that follows Ellie (Robertson) who start to think her classmates at her new school might just be the reincarnations of King Arthur and his court. I can’t wait to see this film and all the other stuff Hollywood has in store for our Revolution Girl!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’re off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz! In the movie, The Wizard of Oz, created in 1939 set the standard for original musicals. Main character, Dorothy Gale, wants to find her way out of a one-horse town, willing to do anything to be free. In her attempt to free herself, a tornado rips through her town, creating it impossible. <a href="http://www.sparklingstars.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/21_opt.jpg"><img src="http://www.sparklingstars.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/21_opt.jpg" alt="" title="21_opt" width="150" height="141" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2607" align="left"/></a>The tornado hits her house (with her and her small terrier Toto inside) and picks up of the ground and hurls it through dimensions and lands in a place called The Land of Oz. </p>
<p>During her journey to find home from the Land of Oz, she has to follow a yellow brick road which will lead her to the infamous Wizard of Oz. On her journey, she meets a scarecrow, tin man, and a cowardly lion. After battling the Wicked Witch of the West over a pair of ruby slippers, she clicks her heels and heads on home, waking up in her bed to find that it was all a dream! </p>
<p>This is absolutely an old favorite of mine! Did you know that the Wizard of Oz is considered one of the top ten best movies of all time? This is a truly original story that has inspired so many movies and musicals. Judy Garland did a phenomenal job as Dorothy! I was actually surprised to find out that Dorothy was supposed to be a twelve year old girl! Growing up I always imagined her older due to her maturity in the movie, but I never realized she was supposed to be twelve. And for all of you who have heard the urban legend of the original Tin-Man dying due to the paint- that is false. <a href="http://www.sparklingstars.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/WizardOz-Ultimate_opt.jpg"><img src="http://www.sparklingstars.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/WizardOz-Ultimate_opt.jpg" alt="" title="WizardOz-Ultimate_opt" width="200" height="134" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2599" align="right"/></a></p>
<p>The original Tin-Man had an allergic reaction to the aluminum powder they used for his make-up and had to be replaced. He was critical for a short time but he healed. Regrettably, he still got replaced by the Tin-Man we all know and love. </p>
<p>Just last year Warner Bros. released The Wizard of Oz 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition that includes never before seen footage and blu-ray. Something to definitely include on your next shopping list! We’re off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz! The movie, The Wizard of Oz created in 1939, set the standard for original musicals. </p>

Those little financial problems her family had turned into big ones, the kind where you have to sell your house to make ends meat, she lost the race for student body presented, stole money from a  friend, and is starting to feel like a kept woman in her relationship.</p>
<p>It might have seemed like the girls have got it together but there just trying to face the day. Holly J herself Charlotte Arnold talks about the craziness of the school and what you can expect in season 10 “Every single character has really insane stuff going on in their life. All the stories interact and intertwine.” Says Arnold “We go back to Degrassi and things are back to reality. The serious problems going on, and deal with not living that fairy tale life.”</p>

<p>You can find some cute cheap and chic knitted jacket that will look stylish on any girl in many department stores and magazines.  Knitwear is most commonly worn in golf wear but is meant for non-golfers too. The best piece of knitwear are sweaters because the can chance up or save any outfit and will mostly never go out of date. However, picking the right sweater is hard so here are some trendy tips to help you out.</p>
<p>Here’s a trendy tip on what is most elegant looking sweaters to wear. Fleece is nice and all but lined sweaters are better and intended to be worn outside which they will keep you warm but you will still look stylish.  Some even have this great Teflon coating that is made to guard against drizzle. </p>
<p>A favorite of mine that never gets old is the classic sweater there are V-necks which look great partnered with polo shirt to make you look a bit smarter, and crew neck sweaters that will keep you warm and is staple for anyone closet. You can get any of these sweaters pattered or plain but make sure you know what your going for because the wrong choice could entirely change your outfit. <a href="http://www.sparklingstars.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/003_opt.jpg"><img src="http://www.sparklingstars.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/003_opt.jpg" alt="" title="003_opt" width="170" height="170" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2649" align="right"/></a>In the fall month go for the V-neck sweaters and keep them plain and simple, for winter I would do crew neck sweaters with patter since we have to be bundled up most of the time a patter will make your outfit standout, and for summer and spring sleeveless sweaters are the way to go.</p>
<p>Cashmere or wool that is the question, we sometimes forget about one of the most important aspects of clothes and that is the fabric they’re made with and as for sweaters this piece is a big part of the pick process. Some great year round choices are wool and lambswool they can look chic with the right outfit, but if you really want to step in up a notch and have all eyes on you go for a cashmere or a cashmere blend it is an graceful fabric that can be worn all year, however it is a bit on the pricey side so save your pennies before hitting the stores. </p>
<p>So, there you have it three tips on knitwear sweaters that you can use throughout the year whether you a golfer or not.            </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href=" http://www.awear.com "> Womens Jeans </a> are a must have for any wardrobe because they work with all most any outfit and can be casual yet dressy, but what are the essential pair of jeans to have, let us tell you.</p>
<p>Wide Legged Jeans (also known as flares) are coming back in style, since every one is looking to take a page from the 60s and 70s fashion these have risen from it grave and is making its arrival to a new world of style. The great thing about this style of jean is that they can be worn by almost anyone and can give the illusion of a thinner you. <a href="http://www.sparklingstars.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/0004.jpg"><img src="http://www.sparklingstars.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/0004.jpg" alt="" title="0004" width="150" height="150" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2653" align="left"/></a>Throw on a cute fitted top, a cardigan, add some chic ballet flats and you’ve got an outfit that is great for any occasion.   </p>
<p>A good pair of skinny jeans is also good to keep on hand. This type of jean is great when wearing knee high boots for a casual winter look, or stiletto high heels for a sexy look. Like fitted, skinny or slim-fit jeans can add inches to your height however they do look best on long-legged figures and people with apple shaped bodies should skip the skinny jean trend. </p>
<p>Distressed jeans are a fun piece of clothing to have because they are a different look than other jeans and gives you a bit of rocker edge. Distressed are probably one of the most popular in Hollywood especially for music artist; such as Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, and Shenae Grimes. Every girl should put some punk in there style.       </p>
<p>Another staple for a girls closet are “Jeggings.” However not exactly jeans they still fall somewhat close. What are jeggings? Basically they’re jeans and leggings combined, you can wear them how you would normally wear jeans or long T-shirts and cardigan wraps.</p>
<p>There you have it some jeans you can add to complete your attire to insure you are the most styling girl on the block and remember you can never go wrong with your favorite pair of blue jeans. </p>

<p>Omg, Pretty Little Liars is like my new favorite show. I love the article you did on the series and the cover looks awesome, also the just like article was great because each girls makeup on the series is prefect and I loved finding out how to do some of their makeup.<br />

<p>Love the “Pretty Little Liars” article and the fitness article I really wanted to tone up this summer and before school started and the article really help me out.<br />
 &#8211; Shannon	</p>
<p>Great issue! I’ve never seen Pretty Little Liars and the article on it made me want to watch it. I totally agree with your review on “The Last Airbender” movie it was terrible. However, I didn’t agree with you on Miley Cyrus new album; I personal liked it and the new direction she is taking, I never liked her Hannah Montana bubblegum pop songs but this new album is more my kind of music, but besides that it was awesome issue.<br />
