Country: Springfield, MA, USA


I am a Sophomore at Bay Path College, where I major in Liberal Studies with a minor in English. I love to read and my favorite authors include Nicholas Sparks, Sarah Dessen, and Lurlene McDaniel. My dream is to become a writer, but I'm not sure what genre I want to settle in. I love all types of music, from the Veronicas to Ne-Yo, and Pink to Day26. I have numerous television shows that I consider favoites but the major ones include Veronica Mars, Dawson's Creek, and How I Met Your Mother.

About me: I am into acting, dancing, sports, reading, drawing and web designing! I love talking to celebrities and finding out what it’s really like to be on set etc. I do not get star struck. I love dancing in the rain with my friends. My ambition is either to become an actress, a PR or a journalist as I love to write.

Zahra H.
Interview Typist
Age: 16
Country: USA

RAWR! Zahra here. I’m 16 years old but I act like I’m 6. You can give me my birthday punches on Bastille Day [France’s Independence Day – July 14]! Words really can’t describe me to my entirety. I’ll just come out and say it… I love my BUDDIES! I care for my friends immensely. I’m an only child, so my friends become my siblings. My friends always say that I’m really trustworthy. They appreciate me so much for that. I’m always there for my friends, and in return, they’re always here for me.
I love rock music, just give me two sticks and I’ll rock out like no other && I randomly burst out with lyrics based on my mood xD. Oh yeah, I really love emoticons!.. they define me when I am online d(^.^)b—so back to music. My all time most favorite band has to be, hands down --> Tokio Hotel! They really got me interested in rock and pop. Before them, all I listened to was rap. I love them so much because every teenager can actually relate to their lyrics. It’s like their reaching out to me from my headphone… oh I’m such an audiophile :)
I love to have fun, then again, who doesn’t? I love being with the people I adore, and when I’m around them, I go nuts! Growing up, I was a major tomboy & I still am at heart. I love sports! My specialty is football…yes, you read correct. I can’t seem to get enough! I’m also really big on the whole ‘Going Green’ concept. I think this world is a wonderful place and I should respect it. I’ve been called a Hippie many times and I’m totally cool with it, since I am helping out with something I care for.
So I guess I’m your average dork…
Or maybe a bit more.
You can decide :D
Awwwhhyeahhh! :0->-<|: [haha, it's skateboarding!]

Elisheva
Interviewer/Talent Scout
Age: 18
Country: Canada


Hey! My name’s Elisheva and I’m an aspiring writer. Ever since I was young I knew that writing was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I know, I know, it sounds insanely cliché, but truthfully it’s just something that’s always stuck with me. I’m currently in between high school and university, taking a year off to take some art classes in Europe before I start post-secondary studies. Once I go back home, I plan to major in Journalism at the University of Toronto – that’s right, I’m from Canada! And unlike most Canadians, I truly love the winter, especially December time. There’s something so magical about the snow and all the lights from the Christmas decorations, it’s just indescribable! I love to read books by Jane Austen, Meg Cabot, Sophie Kinsella and Lauren Weisberger. If I were to list all the TV shows I watch, it would take up way to much space (hehe), but they range from Gossip Girl to Ugly Betty to Glee (I’m a sucker for cheesy musicals!). As for music, I like pretty much every song out there, but my faves are Taylor Swift, Stereos (awesome Canadian band!), Honour Society, Paramore, and of course, those three adorable boys that the world just can’t get enough of – the Jonas Brothers!
