Watching New Celebs

Our young hot celebrities have been working very hard by performing on various Thanksgiving events today.

Demi Lovato sang the Star Spangled banner during the Dallas Cowboys vs. Seattle Seahawks NFL game, while the Jonas Brothers performed during half-time —

Miley Cyrus was at the Thanksgiving Day Parade by Macy’s. Also present was Charice, the rising star from the Philippines who Ellen De Generes, Oprah and Celine Dion and many others think is a music idol in the making —

David Archuleta was also on the same parade and he sang his hit song, “Crush” —

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively graces the cover of W Magazine’s December 2008 issue out in stands already. Below are some of the highlights of what she talked about in her interview —

On the status of her dad, who was in a car crash — “He’s doing great, all things considered. It was very serious. And it’s hard to be on the other side of the country from him. I’m so used to being within 10 minutes of my family.”

On her bag addiction — “I probably have, like, 60 gorgeous bags. I have a closet with my really sharp, fancy, nice ones—the ones that go with my Valentino pumps, for example. And then I have a closet with the ones that are a little more rugged-feeling, the kind that go with my Belstaff motorcycle boots.”

On her co-stars on Gossip Girl — “The media is always trying to pit us against each other, I guess because it’s just not interesting to say, ‘Everyone gets along; everybody just works 18-hour days and goes home to sleep.’ That’s not fun to read, I guess.”

On her co-star Robin Wright Penn in an upcoming movie The Private Lives of Pippa Lee — “Getting to work alongside that caliber of talent was just mind-blowing.”

On how she spends her time when not in shoots or filming her scenes — “I don’t really like to go out. I’ll go listen to live jazz, but the club scene isn’t so fun for me. I’m exhausted. But I have to go home and bake.”

This years AMA was held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles and is marking it’s 35th year since the very first trophy was awarded to Roberta Flack in 1973.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Robert Pattinson the star of Twilight, and nine more celebrities, are this year’s break out stars or stars who’ve made it big this year and should have a promising career ahead. I wonder what’s their career going to be like in this fleeting show business in the next couple of years?

And would you agree with this list’s last choice though?

Anyway, for the complete list, it’s after the jump…

Of the 15 or so hunks in People Magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive list for 2008, these are the new names and new faces who’ve made it to this year’s list.

• ZAC EFRON

As he gets older, the High School Musical 3 star finds himself graduating from a “jeans and sandals” wardrobe to a more sophisticated look. “There’s something timeless about suits,” says the 21-year-old. “A few years ago I didn’t own a single one. Now I’ve got a small collection going.”

• ROBERT BUCKLEY

What keeps this former economic consultant in the gym? “Being half-naked in front of millions of strangers,” says Buckley, 27, of his work on Lipstick Jungle. Next up: Lifetime’s Flirting with Forty, with Heather Locklear

• JON HAMM

“I try to be a good person. I’m loyal and I’m trustworthy. I’m kind,” says the Mad Men star, 37, who has been in a 10-year relationship with actress Jennifer Westfeldt. “And I’m a really good driver.

• ED WESTWICK

How does Gossip Girl’s bad boy sum up his dating style at 21? “I’m childish at times, passionate, a little crazy, I guess,” he says. “And I pride myself on being one of the last romantics.” Oh, and ladies, just FYI: “My weakness is the neck – when girls get too close to my neck, crazy things start to happen.”

• MICHAEL PHELPS

What do you do after winning eight gold medals and shattering world records at the Beijing Olympics? If you’re Phelps, 23, you enjoy “being lazy.” As for the overnight female attention, the Baltimore native says, “I don’t really notice it. … I don’t think of myself as a sex symbol. My mom is by far the most important woman in my life.”

• BLAKE SHELTON

His appeal? A well-worn truck, says country singer Shelton, 32, who dates songstress Miranda Lambert and has a new CD, Startin’ Fires. “The wussiest thing a guy can do is drive a clean truck. Dents, scratches and mud – that’s manly.”

• LANG LANG

“When you play the piano, you feel your blood pressure go up,” says the single Chinese-born virtuoso, 26, who performed in the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony. “You become part of it. It’s a very sexy instrument.”

• ROBERT PATTINSON

“Last year all I was trying to do was get a girlfriend,” says Pattinson, 22, Twilight’s resident vampire and previously Harry Potter’s Quidditch foil, Cedric. “What happened? It’s like the face of what is attractive has changed. Girls used to want to see guys take their shirts off. Now it’s, ‘I want you to bite me.’ It’s bizarre.”

But the distinction of Sexiest Man Alive goes to Hugh Jackman this year.

What do you think of the list? Do you agree with their choices?

With the release of her second album this week, teenage singer and songwriter Taylor Swift has become a certified international music star. The album, Fearless, is currently topping the Billboard 200 charts and has to date sold at least 592,000 since its release Wednesday. With this she has become the biggest female artist to ever have such a big opening sale for 2008.

Because of this, her record label, Universal, intends to move promotions of her album internationally.

According to the EVP of Universal Music Group International, Max Hole —  “She is by some distance the biggest breakthrough for an American artist in America over the last year. I don’t really see her as a country artist. If you listen to the records and see her play live, she has much more in common with acts like Avril Lavigne and Miley Cyrus.”

The planned international album release will be a mix of her two albums. The industry calls it a hybrid and is set for release in Europe and Australia by spring. If it’s also a success, an international tour by next Fall is also being worked out.

Every year men’s magazine GQ comes out with their list of Men of the Year. This year’s list include four different types of magazine cover, with four different men —- President-elect Barack Obama, Mad Men lead actor Jon Hamm, famous actor Leonardo DiCaprio and Olympic athlete Michael Phelps.

This is the stuff that only happens in the movies, isn’t it?

In Japan, 16 year old Eri Yoshida was surprisingly drafted in a men’s baseball league after having successfully impressed the manager and coaches during try-outs.

Not only is this feat impressive for a woman, Yoshida is only sixteen years old and is therefore quite underage to play in the Pro-leagues. But this doesn’t seem to hinder her from her dreams.

She says — “I never dreamed of getting drafted. I have only just been picked by the team and have not achieved anything,” she said. “I want to play as a pro eventually in a higher league.”

Eri Yoshida, who stands merely 5 feet and weigh 114 lbs, would have to be the first Japanese Woman to play in a league dominated and made for men.

Corbin Bleu is a lot less visible than the rest of his co-stars in High School Musical. But that doesn’t mean he’s the one with less talent. The young actor is in fact oozing with it. He’s also quite adept in the brains department, too.

According to the Forbes Survey: These babes may be raised by celebrity royalty, but they earn their own silver spoons. To determine which tykes were tops, we looked at both press clippings and blog presence for more than 50 A-list tots (5-years-old and younger) over the course of a year. Then, with a whittled down list, we reached out to Los Angeles, Calif.-based polling firm E-Poll Market Research for both awareness data for the kids and consumer appeal rankings for their celebrity parents.

Is this list sad or what? Because, with the exception of two or three names on the list, the perception it seems is that these babies have publicity-hungry people for parents. What do you think?
