Adrienne Bailon Dishes on Kim & Reggie

February 3rd, 2009

Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon has got the inside scoop on Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Reggie Bush. Bailon, who dates Kim’s little brother, Rob Kardashian, caught up with OK! at Floyd’s nightclub at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa, Florida, over Super Bowl weekend, where she revealed what the couples like to do on their down time from filming Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

"[We go on double dates] all the time," she tells OK!. "Our favorite spot is Casa Vega in the valley. We really like to chill on normal stuff. We used to play Rock Band over at Reggie’s house all the time. Kim refuses to sing. I try to force her to be the lead singer but she says ‘No, I just want to watch!’"

Bailon says she looks at Kim and Reggie’s relationship as a model for her own.

"They’re very considerate of one another," she says. "They’re so sweet and nice to each other."

Reggie himself tells OK!, "It’s true love. It’s not a fake relationship or anything that’s for publicity. We’re really actually in love and we have a good time. We enjoy each other’s company."

He also admits it wasn’t necessarily Kim’s physical assets that caught his eye in the beginning!

"I’ll tell you that the thing I love most is that she can cook. Very good!" he says. "She’s the first girl that’s ever cooked a meal for me. I was already stunned by how beautiful she is, then she cooked for me… and it was done. You can’t ask for much more."

 

Cheetah Girls Dropped from Macy’s Parade

November 18th, 2008

In the wake of recent news that naughty photos of Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon had made their way onto the internet, OK! has confirmed that the Disney pop trio is no longer slated to be a part of a huge holiday tradition — the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC.

Of course, while we’re hearing that it is indeed the nude pix of Adrienne that have removed the Cheetahs from Macy’s roll call of superstars for next week’s parade, the official line from the department store tells a different story.

"Performer confirmations are always fluid and subject to change for any live event," a rep for Macy’s tells OK! in a statement. "In fact we just received confirmations of three new acts this week. The Cheetah Girls were scheduled to appear in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but due to scheduling issues they could not make it."

Yeah… scheduling conflicts. Because they had something to do on Thanksgiving other than make a high-profile appearance on a parade that is watched by millions of people around the world.

Sabrina Bryan Doesn’t Listen to Gossip

November 12th, 2008

Amid the latest nude picture scandal involving fellow Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon, fellow Cheetah Sabrina Bryan is speaking out about the tabloid gossip and has some advice for others int the same situation.

"Stay strong, it will pass," Bryan told the Morning Show with Mike & Juliet on Wednesday. "My parents would tell me when I was going through things that ‘this will pass’ and eventually you will end up being so much stronger."

Perhaps Sabrina was talking indirectly to Bailon, who earlier this week became the latest young Hollywood star to have semi-naked photos of her splashed across the internet after her laptop was reportedly stolen at JFK Airport.

Dealing with the not-so-great perks of fame is something Sabrina seems to have mastered.

"I mean, as a Cheetah Girl, I have fans that are a little bit younger. They’re just kind of excited about all of the projects I’m involved in," she says. "When I was on Dancing with the Stars, I got an older audience…and they started to pick me apart a lot more. It was kind of like, ‘Oh, he kissed her on the forehead. What does that mean?’ I was like, ‘Why are you saying that? Can I just do the competition?’"

Cheetah Girl Throws Hissy Fit Over Nude Photos

November 10th, 2008

Another sweet and innocent Disney star has done it again! Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon  says she’s taking legal action after semi-nude photos showing her sans skivvies showed up on the Internet.

Bailon, 25, who dates Kim Kardashian’s 21-year-old brother, Robert Kardashian, says the photos were for him, not for public display. Her laptop was reportedly stolen from her luggage cart at JFK airport last week, and was returned hours later by someone demanding $1000.

"It’s not a scenario where she purposely leaked the photos for attention," Bailon’s rep told the Daily News. "We’re pursuing legal action."

Bailon, who filed a police report, says she has no idea who stole her laptop. Her rep says she is "absolutely distraught" over what happened but in the meantime will continue to tour the country with the Cheetah Girls.

Bailon is just the latest Disney star to be involved in a racy photo scandal. Images of a scantily clad Miley Cyrus hit the Internet last year. Nude photos of Vanessa Hudgens also hit the web in 2007.

Robert and Adrienne’s Low-Key Love

May 20th, 2008

Unlike other young stars, you won’t find Robert Kardashian Jr. and girlfriend Adrienne Bailon partying ’til they drop.

The Cheetah Girl,24, and her Keeping Up with the Kardashians hunk,21, keep it low-key, preferring to stay in most nights.

"We stay home and watch movies," Adrienne told OK! at the May 2 Disney Channel Games party at Epcott Center at Lake Buena Vista Fla. "We like to go shopping and chill out."

That’s not to say that the two don’t stay active. "He’s actually getting me to work out," reveals Adrienne, "So we’ve been hitting the gym a lot lately."

Miley Cyrus Missed at Disney Games

May 15th, 2008

While Miley Cyrus gets her beauty rest to gear up for the Disney Games concert, her fellow Disney Channel stars wake up bright and early for Disney Games.

Later, she’ll rock the house in her first appearance since the Vanity Fair scandal. Miley opens the rain-soaked show ahead of Jordan Pruitt, Demi Lovato, Cheetah Girls and Jonas Brothers.

“I see a sign in the crowd that says ‘Miley I’m praying for you’ — thank you,” she tells the crowd at Disney’s Wide World of Sports in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. “I couldn’t be more appreciative of that.”

Until then, her channelmates bide their time participating in Olympic-style challenges during Disney Games. The Florida sun is hot, but the stars keep cool in a shaded tent. And get this! Disney Channel has flown in their stars from 15 countries. Hello, Berlitz!

One person who misses Miley is her Hannah Montana co-star Moises Arias. What advice has she given him?

“It’s very important to learn how you hang around with the fans, and how you deal with the fans. She told me ‘don’t get too rushed. Listen to everybody. Be patient. Be really cool with everybody. Make them feel special.’ We’re like brother and sister.”

In fact, Moises can’t wait to join Miley for a spin on Disney Hollywood Studios ride Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster and Animal Kingdom’s Everest. Woo-hoo!

Mob scene! The Jonas Brothers take a break from the Games to do interviews. What’s the hardest part about being famous?

“Staying true to who you are as a person,” Joe Jonas says.

Next up is Chelsea Staub, who will appear with the Jonas Brothers on their upcoming Disney Channel show J.O.N.A.S.

“Everything they do is a blast,” she tells me. “I had a scene with Joe one time, and we’re supposed to have a little action in the background before the camera comes into our scene. Joe passes me a note halfway through it, and we’re in a school hallway, where there’s lockers everywhere. I open it up, and it says ‘see you in math.’ Then he walks off. He’s funny.”

Nick Jonas is drinking a Coke while Selena Gomez signs autographs in the blazing Florida sun.

Jennifer Stone appears with Selena on the Wizards of Waverly Place. What’s Selena really like? “She and I will talk about boys. She’s just as insecure about guys as we all are – but she seems so comfortable with guys. And she eats everything. She’s a human vacuum. She will eat any kind of food. I’ve seen her drink pickle juice before. It’s gross but she likes it. She’s a huge pickle fan.”

Camp Rock’s Alyson Stoner looks up to Hilary Duff as her Disney role model. “She designed the formula for Disney kids,” Alyson tells me. “She was the first one to break away from Disney and tap into other things. She did her music, her clothing, her perfume, she’s a beautiful person and still so down-to-earth. I look up to her.”

What’s the best thing about being a Disney star for Camp Rock’s Meaghan Jette Martin? “Everything!” she tells me. “We went to Magic Kingdom last night, and I was walking around the park, don’t have to wait in line, just walk on the ride. Then the fireworks show started at Epcot, and we drive over the Epcot. We’re standing in the VIP section watching it, and I’m like ‘I love my life.’ Disney is like one big family. All the other Disney Channel stars are so nice. We joke that we attend Disney High School ‘cause that’s kind of what we do.”

 

During my downtime, I catch up with friends at the Magic Kingdom and Disney Hollywood Studios. Love the park-hopper pass! I was in the Walt Disney World College Program. It’s great to get back to Hollywood Boulevard at the Disney Studios. Seems like I was sweeping streets just yesterday – even if it was years ago.

Jonas Brothers, ‘Hannah Montana’ Stars Hit Disney Party

May 14th, 2008

The Disney Channel’s brightest stars descend upon Epcot in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., for a party to celebrate the Disney Games. While Miley Cyrus is tending to the fallout from her Vanity Fair scandal, the other kids are focused on being good role models.

“We’re in the limelight all the time, so we try and do our best,” Kevin Jonas tells me.

What’s the best part of being a Disney star for the Sprouse twins?

“Disney World – definitely!” Dylan tells me. “Disneyland, Disney World, incredible rides, it’s awesome.”

“The only problem is it makes you never want to wait in line for a Disney ride again,” Cole laments. “Once you get that deluxe treatment, it’s hard.”

Hannah Montana’s Moises Arias tells me he loves to slumber party at Miley’s. They always order pizza and play tag. There’s a pillow fight in the offing when the first person falls asleep! Co-star Mitchel Musso saw Miley the night before, and they watched Maid In Manhattan.

Wizards of Waverly Place beauty Selena Gomez, 15, tells me she’s allowed to date but doesn’t have a boyfriend. Her dream man? “Shia LeBeouf . Not only is he a phenomenal actor, but he’s got the nerdy-cool guy going on. I like that about him very much.”

Anna Maria De Tagle appears with the Jonas Brothers in Disney’s forthcoming megahit Camp Rock. (This will be the next High School Musical – I saw the screening at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.) “They won’t be scared to tell you if you’ve got a bat in the cave,” she says.

Camp Rock’s Meaghan Jette Martin looks forward to being an inspiration to kids everywhere. What’s her message? “Don’t let anyone get you down because people will tell you that you can’t do it, and know all your life that you can – you absolutely can.”

“I love OK! Magazine,” Camp Rock’s breakout star Demi Lovato says.

Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon quashes engagement talk, even though she’s wearing a diamond-encrusted gold band on her ring finger.

Time to step inside where there’s a buffet of free-range chicken, Mickey-roni, rolls, potato wedges and Mickey Mouse-shaped Rice Krispy treats with chocolate on the ears.

The Jonas Brothers’ dad is in front of me while waiting for a drink at the bar, and their little bro, dubbed Bonus Jonas, is doing the Running Man near the dance floor.

 

The D.J. calls all the Disney Channel stars out to the dance floor for Fergie’s G.L.A.M.O.R.O.U.S., and the kids get down to Usher’s Yeah! and Beyonce’s Crazy In Love. This must have been pre-planned – they’re all line-dancing to the Cuban Shuffle.

Oops! Around midnight, I miss the media shuttle and wind up with a surprise visit to Epcot. It takes a Disney tour bus to get back to my Saratoga Springs hotel. ?

DWTS Shocker! Sabrina Eliminated!

October 31st, 2007 / Author: cwillett

In perhaps the most shocking twist in the history of Dancing With the Stars, Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan was high-kicked off the hit show Tuesday night!

After apparently too few viewers voted for the assumed front-runner, Sabrina’s shocked fellow contestants surrounded the petite singer and partner Mark Ballas backstage to offer hugs and condolences.

“It’s sad to go,” Sabrina told OK! following the Oct. 30 show. “We’re not ready to go. We had so many ideas. I have such amazing fans — I’m assuming they called in and it just wasn’t enough this week.”

The perpetually upbeat performer also plans to throw an
elimination bash with her fellow contestants. “I’m going to make more memories
with them tonight, because I’m going out. This Cheetah is on the prowl
tonight!”

Sabrina, who has been romantically linked to dance partner, hinted that the elimination might bring them even closer. “I’m happy Mark and I now get to just be friends, to know each other and not have the stress of the show.”

Next up for the young cutie, who tells OK! she really wants a woman to win this season, is a Cheetah Girls concert tour and a movie, The
Cheetah Girls Go to Bollywood, set to start filming in India in
January. But what is she most looking forward to after six weeks of competition? “A massage!” Sabrina laughed to OK!.

Meanwhile, Sabrina’s stunned DWTS co-stars weighed in. “I think they need to recount the votes,” declared Mel B., while Mel’s dance partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, tells OK!, “This is the most shocking elimination show of all the seasons.”

While shock swirled through the ballroom after the show, there was additional drama, as a bad case of food poisoning landed Jane Seymour in the hospital and prevented her from attending the elimination show. Her partner Tony Dovolani told OK! “She’s still in the hospital just to be safe, just to check herself. I’ve spoken to her. She’s feeling great. I have no idea [what she ate].”

Why Doesn’t Disney Have Vanessa’s Back?

October 18th, 2007

After OK! exclusively broke the story Wednesday morning that Vanessa Hudgens had been given the boot from the upcoming High School Musical 3 by Disney, the teen star’s personal publicist (not a Disney employee) seemed to magically appear on every entertainment news site in the world to deny the report.

Of course, that’s what publicists are hired to do and OK! stands by our reporting.

What OK! really wants to know is why — if the story is as false as Vanessa’s rep wishes it were — hasn’t Disney come out in such vigorous defense of the young star of their hugely profitable production?

When originally asked for a comment on the story, OK! was only told the cast, including Vanessa, was “still in negotiations for the feature film,” which they have since repeated to several other news sources, from Fox News to Access Hollywood, apparently refusing to say anything stronger in their defense.

So why wouldn’t Disney just come out with a “We’re standing behind her all the way” comment? “They’re probably waiting to gauge the public’s reaction to the story,” one Hollywood insider explains to OK!. “If HSM fans seem to be okay with moving forward without Vanessa, Disney made the right decision. On the other hand, if there’s some public outcry demanding her return, that’s when you’ll probably see a public statement.”

Well, just judging by the readers of OKmagazine.com, it seems like Disney ought to be extending the olive branch to Vanessa. The overwhelming number of comments on the story were pro-Vanessa, and thousands of supporters flooded the poll, saying they would never watch a High School Musical with her. So, for the sake of the massively popular franchise, Disney had better prick up their ears and listen.
