For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we chatted with Nikki Reed who plays Edward's beautiful sis Rosalie and got her to dish all about the guys in her Twilight vampire family!

-------------------------------------

J-14 exclusive interview with Nikki Reed about her costars

J-14: When fans tell you they want to marry Rob, do you pass along the proposals?

Nikki: Rob's got a list of a million 12-year-olds waiting to marry him! If all else fails, he has a lot of options!

J-14: Did you guys expect that the fans would be this crazy?

Nikki: No! And it's not just Rob -- that's the amazing thing. All the boys in this movie -- the fans just go crazy for all of them. Sometimes Kristen and I just want to be like, "we're so sorry we're not the boys!"

J-14: If you had to come up with one word to describe each of the vampire guys in your movie fam, what would it be for Kellan?

Nikki: Teddy-bear.

J-14: Jackson?

Nikki: Artsy.

J-14: Peter Facinelli?

Nikki: Dad!

J-14: Rob?

Nikki:: Hmm, yeah, Rob's complicated!

J-14: Is there a story behind that?

Nikki: One that I shall not speak of!

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we chatted with Justin Chon who plays fun-loving Eric Yorkie about the first time the cast got a surprising welcome at the Vancouver airport from the paparazzi!

-------------------------------------

J-14 exclusive interview with Justin Chon about the paparazzi

J-14: What was it like landing in Vancouver to film New Moon, knowing it would be so different than the experience filming the first Twilight?

Justin Chon: Just a total trip. Most of the movies I've done were small indies on a smaller scale. Shooting-wise, they feel the same -- you're just working -- but in terms of what's surrounding the movie, it's just unbelievable how many people have so much interest in this movie -- it's just wild. I just can't believe it.

J-14: Did you know the paparazzi was there when you got to airport?

Justin: No! What happened was the driver was like, "Alright, let's go up this escalator and go a different way because there's a lot of paparazzi." We all started laughing thinking it was a joke. We were like, "Haha, funny joke!" And then we went out through this one exit and there was a bunch of people just starting to take pictures from afar. We were like, "Wait, are they...?" -- that's why the beginning shots when we're just walking we just look really like confused I think there's a picture of me with my mouth open. It's really like pretty funny I just don't know what the heck's going on! I asked Anna [Kendrick], "Wait, are they taking pictures of us?" We just had no idea and then we realized they're taking pictures of us and we just were like, "Whoa!" Then there were autograph seekers -- and we gave them autographs and the paparazzi was kind of like a total surprise!

J-14: So they found out what flight you were on?

Justin: Yeah, when when we were going home too.

J-14: And they were hanging out on set too?

Justin: Yeah, we had these black things to cover the set so you can't see inside the set. But they were shooting in between crevices and we had paparazzi people at the hotel too.

J-14: So were the rules on this set different?

Justin: Not for us. I mean there was just certain rules like no friends on set and you have to get permission before you brought anyone. And just the way we would even be transported was a lot more different. They would have umbrellas to cover our faces -- they were just taking way more precautions this time.

Hey J-14ers,

Back in the day, I was a huge fan of the punk group, The Donnas. They were four girls who loved music and refused to let anyone tell them they couldn't rock as hard as the boys. Flash forward to right now, and you've got Care Bears On Fire following in The Donnas' footsteps. The trio just released a music video for their single, "Barbie Eat A Sandwich," and I want to know what you think. Weight and eating disorders is a huge issue for so many teens, and CBOF is putting their own spin on the matter.

Are you into Care Bears on Fire's all-girl punk rock sound? What do you think about their message?

Check it out and comment below to let J-14 know!

<3,

The boys of Hot Chelle Rae -- bassist Ian Keaggy, drummer Jamie Follese, singer Ryan Keith (R.K.) Follese, guitarist Nash Overstreet -- stopped by the J-14 offices just a few days after they filmed the music video for their single, "I Like To Dance." The pop rockers were psyched to talk to J-14 about where their band name came from, their fave dance tunes, and... flying?

J-14: Did you name the band Hot Chelle Rae after a girl?
Ryan Keith Follese: We actually don't know what her real name is -- that was her handle on MySpace. Before we had anything significant going for us, we saw pictures on the Internet of her hanging out with like Pete Wentz and Snoop Dogg -- just mad musicians! She supposedly worked at Universal and was going to help us. Then we found out that she was fake.
Ian Keaggy: She was jacking model's pictures.
R.K.: When we actually started getting things going for us we were like, 'Yeah, we're going to be going out to L.A.' And she's like, 'Yeah I'm a friend of Butch Walker. We're said, 'We're going to be working with him in a couple of weeks!' She was like, 'He may not remember me.' Needless to say, we named the band after her. My friend still texts, 'I miss her!'

J-14: How did you guys meet?
R.K.: Nash was working at a music store where I was buying gear, and we just got hooked up through a guitar friend of ours. Nash and Ian have been friends since childhood, and Jamie and I obviously have been brothers since childhood. Actually, Nash and I didn't like each other at first.
Nash Overstreet: Once we met and hung out, we got along great. But there was this judgmental first sight thing like, 'I don't like his hair.'
R.K.: We were both in our worst style era - we met when were 18 and 19.
Nash: That awkward high school phase - actually, that's why we became friends. We actually started to like each other.
R.K.: That sounds like we're dating.
Nash: No, no, no. We started to get along, and we found out that in high school we went through the same exact clubbing phase of JNCO jeans and horrible clothes.

J-14: What's your favorite song off your album, Lovesick Electric?
R.K.: My favorite song to play live is "I Like to Dance," but my favorite songson the record are "Never Have I Ever" and "Bushes." "Bushes" is just a really whack song and fun and weird. It started off as a joke!

J-14: What inspired "I Like To Dance"?
Ian: I think the music kind of lent itself first.
R.K.: Sometimes we will premeditate lyrics, and sometimes the very first thing that comes out of your mouth is the best because a lot of times it's how the song feels. That sounds so artsy and not like it makes much sense, but it's true. Whatever the song feels like, that's the first thing that comes out of your mouth. A lot of times we'll be sitting there, and the first thing that comes out we'll go with that.
Nash: A certain A&R guy -- who we didn't end up working with -- was like, "Change it to something more meaningful like I love to dance.' And I'm like, 'Then it's not cool anymore.' Girls can love to dance. That's great. When guys are loving to dance it may be a little [odd].

J-14: How did Stephanie Pratt get involved in the "I Like To Dance" video?
Ian: She was actually into the song before hand -- she was all about being in the video.
She's a sweetheart. She was really cool and down-to-earth. We'd hang out again, no problem. We had a lot of fun.

J-14: What are your favorite dance songs?
Ian: [Michael Jackson's] "Billie Jean."
R.K.: One of my favorite dance beats of all time is INXS's "Need You Tonight." Every time it comes on I'm like, 'Man, I wish I wrote this!'

J-14: If you guys weren't in a band, what would you be doing?
Jamie Follese: Up until the moment I got into this band, I played baseball. I also want to be an FBI agent or an Air Force pilot.
Ian: I've been into photography for a long time -- I would have probably gone down that road.
Nash: I think I would probably do hair. My mom did hair growing up, and I'd always use her salon to mess up my friend's hair. Right before my friend got a job where he couldn't have any [fake] color in his hair, he was like, 'What color is this going to be?' I said 'A dark auburn, brownish,' and he was like, 'I'm going to have to shave my head."
R.K.: I've always wanted to fly helicopters or maybe write.

Hot Chelle Rae's new album, Lovesick Electric, is in stores now, and you can get more info on the boys at their MySpace page.

The J-14 New Moon Countdown continues!

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we chatted with Alex Meraz who plays the wolf pack member, Paul, about why he thinks he might be better than Taylor Lautner (well, in one particular skill)...

-------------------------------------

J-14 exclusive interview with Alex Meraz about Taylor Lautner Vs. Himself:

J-14: Your background is in martial arts, just like Taylor Lautner -- how do your skills compare?

Alex Meraz: I'm better. (Laughs) No, you know Taylor, you've gotta look at the difference. Taylor is 17, I'm 24. I've been doing it a lot longer. And as of recently, I've really become more of an actor now. This is what I'm heavily relying on in terms of survival and what I'm really into now. But a couple of months ago, I was still training and considering doing mixed martial arts like cage fighting. So I'm without a doubt -- without trying to be an ego maniac -- better!

J-14: So you guys trained in different forms of martial arts?

Alex: Yeah, he did more for events -- more of the flashy kind of things. I did it more for efficiency -- to fight.

J-14: But you can both stand there and do back flips?

Alex: Yeah, we can both do back flips.

14-year-old singer/songwriter Jessarae stopped by the J-14 offices to tell us all about his music, what his parents think of his tunes, and his secret celeb crush!

J-14: How would you describe your sound?
Jessrae: It's singer-songwriter with an edge. It has a little bit of pop in it but it's a little funkier.

J-14: Who are you influenced by?
Jessarae: When I started playing guitar and writing songs, I mainly listened to Damien Rice. His music is kind of down, but he's still my favorite. My parents went to dinner one time and they came back and I was like, 'Guys, I have a new song for you. You have to hear it!' So I sat them down and started playing this song -- and it had to be like ten minutes long -- and I was just sitting there singing 'Why did you have to die, die, die?' My dad's cracking up with tears, and I thought he was crying like he felt it, because I was feeling it so much, but he was laughing because I was a ten-year-old singing this song about a lost love that you've been with for your whole life!

J-14: A lot of your songs are about love - is that what influences you the most when you write?
Jessarae: It's more of a spur-of-the-moment thing. Whatever mood I'm feeling at the time, whether it's happy or funky or kind of sad. I add stuff that hasn't happened and stuff that has and kind of mix them in to what I feel. It's hard for me to write a lot of these songs because it's so heavy on me. Every time I sing it, like my soul pours out into it, but I love it.

J-14: How were you discovered?
Jessarae: It happened when I was singing in the dentist office. I wasn't actually even going to go to the dentist that morning because it was really early, but my mom made me. I was just singing and playing guitar for a few songs, and this guy came over and wanted to hear me sing. So I sang three songs for him and as he's sitting there listening to me with his dentist mask on!

J-14: How do you balance school with your music?
Jessarae: I'm in 9th grade at a very musical school, so we sort of work as partners with them. They give me work ahead of time. They're happy for me [at the school] because they see how hard I work. It's always been my thing to be a musician. It's in my family - my mom's a musician, and so are my grandpa and my great-grandpa.

J-14: Who's your celeb crush?
Jessrae: I don't know if I really have a crush right now.
Jessarae's Mom: When you were young it was Miley Cyrus!

Jessarae's debut EP,Damaged Heart, is currently on iTunes -- be on the lookout for his full album this winter! Plus check out the songs he performed just for J-14 after the jump.

The J-14 New Moon Countdown continues!

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we chatted with Michael Welch, who plays Mike Newton, about why his poor character can't get the the girl he wants, Bella Swan...

-------------------------------------

J-14 exclusive interview with Michael Welch on Team Mike:

J-14: So Team Edward and Team Jacob are always duking it out -- but no one's ever Team Mike -- why do you think that is? Mike is trying just as hard!

Michael Welch: Oh he sure is, yeah. It's really funny because there's nothing wrong with Mike. He's a perfectly adequate high school boyfriend but he just happens to be in this situation where he's competing with these supernatural beings that happen to be two of the most beautiful creatures in the world. So it's like, what's he going to do?

J-14: So if Jacob wasn't a werewolf and Edward wasn't a vampire, do you think Mike would have a better chance?

Mike: Yeah, I do -- although ultimately, I don't think a Mike-Bella relationship would have worked out particularly well because it's one of those situations where one person is clearly more infatuated with the other person and it doesn't quite go the other way around. Those situations don't typically tend to work out, especially in high school. So I actually think Mike and Bella's relationship is perfect the way it is, but it's probably difficult for Mike to see that while he's going after her.

When J-14 hung out with Every Avenue at during their stop at NYC's Highline Ballroom, we had to ask lead singer Dave Strauchman what's up with the band, especially since their new album, Picture Perfect, drops today, November 3! Check out what Dave had to say about Every Avenue's new music, touring with All Time Low, and the one thing he has to have with him on the road!

J-14: Where did the band name Every Avenue come from?
Dave Strauchman: I used to play guitar in the band, and the original singer and drummer was like 'Yeah, Every Avenue!' And I was like, 'Cool! I'll play guitar!' I was like sixteen.

J-14: What's your favorite song off the new record, Picture Perfect?
Dave: My favorite song is called "Mindset." It's the very last song we recorded and almost didn't make the record. It was a last minute thing. They were like, "We're done doing everything," and I was like, "No, no, no, no! We've got to do this one. We've got to play drums." "Mindset" is pretty much the whole random situation of meeting someone -- it totally caught you off guard and you're like, 'Whoa! Whoa!' and falling head over heels for that person.

J-14: Have you gotten used to mixing your the songs with your old ones on this tour?
Dave: It's ridiculous. The last record we've been playing for awhile, so I kind of got use to it. But we put these new songs up on Myspace and, I barely even know the song! Literally I forget the words and I'm like, "What am I going to say next?"

J-14: Who are some of your biggest influences?
Dave: So many! As a band, Jimmy Eat World is one of our biggest influences. They're amazing. I'm a big fan of Gavin Degraw -- he's so good -- John Mayer, Butch Walker, and Elvis Costello. I like the new Jay-Z album, and there's this band called Phoenix that I really love.

J-14: What was "All Time Low" like to tour with?
Dave: All Time Low is amazing. They're just the most down-to-earth guys ever, really big-hearted people. They're not like a huge band that's jerks to everybody - they try to accommodate everyone on the tour like, "What are you guys eating?"

J-14: Is there one thing that you always need to have on tour?
Dave: Probably my cell phone. I don't really need much! I wear the same stuff everyday, but I have to have socks. If I don't have black socks, I freak out. And a toothbrush - that's pretty needed.

The J-14 New Moon Countdown continues!

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special -- we had Taylor Lautner spill why he's meant to be Jacob Black...

-------------------------------------

J-14 exclusive interview with Taylor Lautner about why he's born to be Jacob Black:

J-14: What was it about the role of Jacob that drew you to him?

Taylor Lautner: I guess the fact that I'm a lot like him. When Jacob's human, he's really friendly and outgoing and talkative, but his other side -- his werewolf side -- he's very fierce and grumpy... and that's totally opposite of me. It's fun to play somebody who's just like me, but then it's cool as an actor to challenge myself to play something totally opposite of me!

J-14: You enjoy that contrast and balance?

Taylor:Yeah and Jacob is both of that, so that's pretty cool.

Hey J-14ers!

I'll admit it - I'm obsessed. I don't just catch Greek every week, I DVR it so I can rewatch ibecause there's nothing better than Ashleigh's crazy fashions, Rusty's 'can't-catch-a-break' girl drama, or the Cappie-Casey-Evan love triangle. Plus it's hilarious.

And tonight's mid-season finale, "Friend or Foe," looks so good! I've always been Team Casey & Cappie, so I hope they're officially back together after last week's kiss. And what's up with Cappie and Evan? I definitely spotted cops in the preview which doesn't look promising for their rekindled friendship. As much as I want to find all that out (trust me, I'm so counting down to 9 p.m.!), I'm also really sad because that means no more new episodes of Greek until January!

It's okay though, because High School Musical 3's Olesya Rulin is back for her guest-starring role as one of the Zeta Beta Zeta pledges, and she's choreographing a dance routine for the ZBZ house -- how HSM of her!

Check out the Greek mid-season finale this Monday, November 2, at 9/8 central on ABC Family, then head back to j-14.com and let me know what you think!

Are you as excited to find out about Casey and Cappie as I am?

Emily, J-14 Editor
