Teen-a-rama!

Lots of teen-show news ...

What's this I hear about Summerland being canceled? And I thought The WB proudly remarked that it was the most-watched premiere ever. On The WB, that is.

I've done my share of poking around on the internet and can find no official confirmation (of course not, the show is still on air as far as The WB is concerned). Rumors started flying when The WB announced their new fall lineup and Summerland was nowhere to be found. But Summerland's one of those weird shows that shows up in January and July -- I'm not gonna be concerned until I hear it from the horse's mouth.

Secondly, I just wanted to do a little so-called self-promotion: if you have digital cable, you should all check out a new show premiering tonight at 9pm called Instant Star. Especially if you're over the target audience's age, because it's just that much funnier. Little Tommy Q's "Girl, you're it." (I'm paraphrasing.) But best of all, it stars Alexz Johnson, a girl I (and I'm sure many of you) first spotted on the Disney Channel show So Weird. Well, she's all grown up now and a full-blown redhead on Instant Star, where she finally gets a chance to make use of that beautiful voice of hers. And plus, Kris Turner (Jamie)'s cute too.

Oh, and Nick Carter. Who's he with these days? Last I heard he hooked up with some English celebrity named Javine Hylton (hasn't he learned his lesson with those Hiltons?), but now I'm hearing that his new girlfriend is Brittny Gastineau ... weird, just weird. Considering I've seen quite a few episodes of The Gastineau Girls and never have I gotten an indication from Brittny that she's into guys remotely close to her in age -- nevertheless boy band members.

Pick me, Nick, pick me!
