Sammi Hanratty swings right next to her costar Odd Job Bob on the latest cover of Equine Journal.
The duo star in the upcoming The Greening of Whitney Brown, which follows Whitney, a spoiled pre-teen from Philadelphia, who is forced to move to the country when her parents (Brooke Shields, Aidan Quinn) feel the squeeze of economic hard times. A fish out of water, far from her comfort zone, she befriends an amazing horse, and undertakes a misguided journey back to her old life, only to discover that her family is her home.
Bob trained 11 months on set under the supervision of extreme horse trainer Tommie Turvey. Bob’s owners Ed Fitts and Sue Rathbone are also the executive producers of the film which will open in theaters later this year.
Radio Disney got StarStruck by starlets Danielle Campbell and Maggie Castle when they stopped by the studio on Monday afternoon (February 8) in Burbank, Calif.
The duo star as siblings Sara and Jessica Olson in the upcoming DCOM StarStruck, premiering THIS SUNDAY, February 14th.
JJJ recently caught up with Maggie on set and she dished on meeting the cast for the first time, saying, “I’m from Canada, so I don’t know if we have the Disney Channel - I don’t think we do! We have the Family Channel but I don’t really watch that much TV so I wasn’t familiar with Sterling [Knight] and Danielle is fairly new. But they’re both really wonderful - she’s so young and she’s great - really natural and beautiful - and they’re both so much fun to work with.”
Music is a big driving force behind ABC Family’s Make It or Break It.
Starlet Cassie Scerbo shared her playlist picks with PopWrap, crossing her fingers that maybe, just maybe they’ll end up being the soundtrack to one of Lauren Tanner’s (her character on the show) routines. Check it:
– Anything off Taylor Swift’s album, Fearless. “I would’ve picked a song but I can’t decide because I love them all!! I definitely blast her music and scream it in the car, I don’t care who’s watching! I love that girl — I feel she is a humbled, beautiful person with a heart of gold and I find her extremely talented to be able to write her own songs, sing them and play the guitar … and she’s only a year older than me! You go, girl!”
– “Take My Lips” and “Rush” by Ferras. “This year I was introduced to one of my favorite artists, by my boyfriend. The artist’s name is Ferras. My number one iPod song right now would have to be ‘Take my Lips’ by Ferras, his music just does something to me that’s unexplainable, it’s magical, and I love it even more because it’s a song between my boyfriend and me.
– “And just a last note, I would have to say anything off of In This Skin by Jessica Simpson. Her songs on that album are some of my long-time faves, I love her. I find her to be wholesome, a woman of her faith and just beautiful! She doesn’t try so hard to look ‘glamorous.’ She’s a home-town girl and I love her! Oh, one more! I LOVE ‘You Got To Show Me Love’ by Robin S!”

Valentine’s Day opens THIS Friday and we’re all dying to see the kiss between Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift. But just how did their first kiss go?
Director Garry Marshall shares with E Online, “I always start with the kissing scenes. The first thing they did was kiss. The first three were nice. By the fourth I think they started going together. I don’t know what the hell happened, but somewhere in the fifth or sixth take they were dating.”

…but just for a day!
Emma Roberts sparkles in a black cardigan and thigh-high beige boots as she appears on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Monday night (February 8).
The 18-year-old actress explained her choice to go back to blond. “It took two days to do this. I was sitting in a hair chair for 10 hours. My hair was brown, and they started to go blond and it turned green. Then it went to red and then blond.”
Remember Emma with that green wig at her aunt Julia’s birthday party? Good thing it didn’t stay green!
