It’s an ‘Easy A’ for Taylor Swift and Emma Stone

Taylor Swift attended the Easy A premiere in a little green dress on Monday night, no doubt in support of her friend Emma Stone, who stars in the teen comedy.  She offered up this quick two-sentence review that night on Twitter before going to bed:

Just saw Easy A. Easily, definitely, absolutely my new favorite movie.

If anybody sees the movie when it opens this weekend, let us know if you agree!

Emma Stone on Starting Out in Hollywood

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly for her upcoming teen comedy Easy A, Emma Stone talks about what her life was like before hitting it big with movies like Superbad and Zombieland:

I used to do six auditions a week. It was brutal, but it was so important. I had mental breakdowns probably every three months. And every time I would have a bawling-on-the-floor fit, my mom would say, ‘Do you want to go home?’ And every time, no matter how upset I was, I was like, ‘No way!’ There was that perseverance in me. It’s not that I was better than the other kids. I was just obsessed.

Amanda Bynes: Retiring?

Amanda Bynes is only twenty-four years old, and usually still plays a high school or college student — recent movies include Sydney White, Hairspray, and She’s the Man, and she’ll next appear in the teen comedy Easy A, starring Emma Stone.

But now she might want to quit the business.  Here are her latest tweets:

If I don’t love something anymore I stop doing it

I don’t love acting anymore so I’ve stopped doing it

I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I’ve #retired

No word on how serious she is, and I guess we won’t know for sure until she stops showing up in movies.  But she’d be in good company.  Among others, actor Michael Schoeffling, star of the teen classic Sixteen Candles, quit acting in 1991 to start a furniture-making business.

We just got word that Disney is putting a whole lotta effort into creating a new teen comedy film, in hopes that its success mirrors its record-breaking High School Musical series. The non-musical movie is reportedly called Prom and will follow 9 lead roles throughout the high school storyline. And they’re looking for newbies, just like Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale were before High School Musical made them big.

Do you think Prom will have the same effect?  Hit the comments section and let us know!

Disney’s Going to the Prom

In what sounds like an attempt to replicate the success of High School Musical, Disney will produce a movie called Prom, an old-fashioned, non-musical, John Hughes-style teen comedy that features nine lead roles.

According to Variety, Disney hasn’t quite figured out what they want to do with it but is considering casting all unknowns, hoping that they turn into breakout stars like Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Tisdale.  That way they can also keep the budget down to around $10 million.

The movie is being written by Katie Wech, an associate producer on Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience, and directed by Joe Nussbaum, who directed Sleepover and Sydney White.

Selena Gomez is ‘What Boys Want’!

Selena Gomez has just joined a movie called What Boys Want!  It’s a teen comedy in which she plays a girl who can hear what guys are thinking.

Selena’s mom, Mandy Teefey, will be one of the executive producers.  New Line Cinema will produce the film, presumably as soon as Selena can find some time free in her very busy schedule.

She hasn’t had much time to be in movies with Wizards of Waverly Place, but she did appear in Another Cinderella Story, she voiced one of the characters in Horton Hears a Who, and she’s starring in Ramona and Beezus, which comes out in 2010.
