Cody Simpson EP Release Party Hard Rock Cafe 9/19/11, a set on Flickr.

We won tickets from 1027 KiisFM for Cody’s EP release party in Hollywood.
It’s always fun when there is a concert or event in LA since many celebs have celeb friends who come out to support them!!
We had a great time and met and saw so many cool people. We saw
Taylar Hender
Allisyn Arm
China Anne
Skain JAckson
Alli Simpson
MAdison Pettis
Christian Fortune
Billy Unger
Hailee Steinfeld
Tiffany Espensen
Rowan Blanchard
DC Cody
Ryan Ochoa
Bella Thorne
Pia Mia
Caroline Sunshine
Adam Irigoyan
Zendaya
Blake Michael
Jake Short
Olivia Holt

We were able to buy Cody’s EP early. He sang 4 songs and then there was a quick meet and greet.
Cody looked tired. He’s been on the Coast to Coast tour for a while and is on a mall tour. He had concert scheduled 4 days in row. It’s cool that his friends from Australia to stay with him in LA. Alli had friends hanging with her too.
His dad Brad was talking to security and parents of the celeb friends who came. The place got pretty packed and they were doing press in a little room. Some celebs were stuck waiting outside while security handled the crowds and traffic.
It was fun seeing celebs and friends and listening to Cody’s music live. He’s so cool and talented.
I hope you liked this blog my mom and I work hard on them.

Austin and Ally a new Disney Show

Austin and Ally a new Disney Show, a set on Flickr.

Austin and Ally is a new Disney show Premiering in December of 2011.
It stars Lauren Marano as Ally, a shy girl who works at her dad’s music store in Miami and Ross Lynch, Austin a confident laid back musician. Ally’s best friend is Tish played by Raini Rodriguez. She can’t keep a job for more than a day so every episode she is wearing a wacky work outfit.
Austin’s friend is Desmond played by Callum Worthy.

In the pilot, we meet the characters. Austin steals Ally’s song and becomes an internet vital hit. Tish has a few wacky jobs.

In the 5th episode, Austin and Ally spend time together getting to know each other. Austin goes to Ally’s Cloud Watching club and Ally goes to a horror movie with Ally. They get to appreciate each other and the final scene is a song and webisode with a song about how they are different but still friends!
Tish and Des get to know each other and become friends.
Matthew Scott Montgomery guest starred as a movie worker.
A bunch of celeb friends showed up to support their friends on cast . Shayne, Ryan Ochoa, Jared Kusnitz all came out.
I think you will all love the show when it premieres!!
According to Wikipedia Audrey Whitby will be a guest star too.

In September 2011, Victorious’ Jade served as a waitress at Chili’s in Encino for St Jude’s Children’s Hospital. She shadowed a server and encouraged customers to support St Jude by Creating a Pepper and donating money for the hospital. She talked, hung out, took pics and signed autographs.
She even did video shout outs for fans who asked. She plays mean girl Jade on the show but was super sweet the whole time!

The Guys from Shake it up help out at a walk to cure Cystic Fibrosis

The Guys from Shake it up help out at a walk to cure Cystic Fibrosis, a set on Flickr.

On September 11, 2012, there was a walk to help cure Cystic Fibrosis at Woodley Park in Van Nuys, CA. The 4 guys who star on Disney’s Shake it Up, Kenton Duty, Adam Irigoyen, Roshon Fegan and Davis Cleveland, came out to support this special event.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of LA and Jake’s family organized the walk called Jacob’s Ladder. Sponsors included Rubio’s Pink Berry, Western Bagel, and Andy Gump. 100’s of people raised money to help researchers find a cure for CF soon.
We had bagels for breakfast and listened to Jake’s mom talk about how much CF impacts Jacob’s life and the lives of his family. He takes about 20 pills a day and has breathing treatments. CF affects his lungs pancreas and kidneys. He has to wake up at 5:30 on school days to take care of all this.
Then we stretched with the guys and the walk started. We walked 3 miles around the park and Balboa Lake. It was a beautiful day so we had a great time.
When the walk was over, Adam, Kenton, and Davis signed autographs. Roshon had left early.
Then we had yummy Rubio’s and Pink Berry for lunch.
KOST FM was there and a few people won some great raffle prizes. Judy ,the head of CFFoundation talked about how 90 cents of every dollar raised goes to research. I had raised almost $700 by auctioning off
extra autographs I had in my collection so I hope I helped a lot.
There are some exciting results about treatments and medications from a drug company.
Hopefully CF will soon stand for Cure Found.
I hope you liked this blog. I love meeting celebs and helping charities so today was a perfect day for me!
All the Shake it UP guys are so sweet and fun! Kenton, Adam. and Davis just released Monster Mash so I hope you all watch it on Disney.com.
Also buy Spooky Buddies when it comes out because Monster Mash is a bonus feature on it.
It was fun watching the guys hang out with each other and their fans. I hope you get a chance to meet them someday. Roshon is having a concert 10/8/11 in The City of Industry.

Zendaya’s 15 Birthday Beach Bash

Zenday’s 15th Birthday Party, a set on Flickr.

On 9/10/11, Zendaya celebrated her 15th birthday at a beach in southern California. She and her parents invited family and friends and Bop and Tiger Beat magazine was there.
Guests played beach volleyball (boys against girls), body surfed, got their faces painted and some even got Henna Tattoos.
The cake was a cool Z shape. The DJ played Swag it Out and when China came played Dynamite.
There was a long red carpet leading guests to the party tent.
Zendaya didn’t want presents for herself. She had a goal of getting 160 backpacks donated for less fortunate kids who live in Downtown LA. I think she got close to her goal!
Zendaya, her family and friends had fun and partied all day! One weird thing s it was really cloudy, rainy and stormy all morning but as soon as we got to the party, the sun came out and the weather was amazing!
I had SO MUCH FUN! Everyone was nice. I tried not to go fan girl crazy BUT it was great seeing some of my favorites. We got some pics with some people but not others..
It was a party and not a meet and greet.
The guests we saw were:
Kenton Duty
Davis Cleveland
Rosero McCoy
Brandon Johnson
(Bella was in Ohio meeting fans with Pia)

Allie DeBErry
Stefanie Scott
Sierra McCormick

Blake Michael
Allie Simpson (and Tom)
Madison Pettis

China, Lauren, and Sierra McClain

there were tons of her friends and family there too including her nieces and cousins and friends from Oakland.

I had a great day! I’m so glad Zendaya and her parents invited me. That was very sweet of her to consider me a friend!

I hope you liked this blog! My mom and I work hard on these blogs!

My Autograph Collection and tips for you to collect autographs too!

My Autograph Collection, a set on Flickr.

I’ve been collecting autographs for two years. I go to signings, tapings, meet and greets, charity events and premieres. Follow me on Twitter @Alexirob. My mom and I let you know what events are coming up so you can get autographs too. We also wrote a blog about how YOU can get autographs though fanmail. Use the Search at WordPress Alexirob fanmail for real addresses that work and all the info you need to know!

Sometimes you have to wait hours to get an autograph. A good time to get an autograph is when a celeb has a new book or CD out. They often have a signing. Make sure you understand the rules of a signing before you go. Most of the time you need to buy the item at the place that is hosting the signing. Usually it is a book store like Barnes and Noble at the Grove or a music store like the Hard Rock Cafe. There are lots of rules like only the item will be signed. Sometimes you can take pictures sometimes not. They are usually trying to get many people autographs quickly so to keep the line moving posed pictures usually aren’t allowed.

Another fun way to get autographs is tapings of TV shows. Most Disney and Nickolodeon shows are taped in front of an audience. When the taping is done, there is a curtain call and pics and autographs. It’s a a good idea to bring something with you that you want to get signed. You might win or be given a poster or script cover but don’t count on it. Getting into tapings can be tough. You can look for free tickets on line and if you get them, go early. They usually give out more than can fit in the studio.

Premieres and awards shows usually have a red carpet where celebs talk to press and meet fans. It’s not easy to meet stars this way but if you go early, get a good spot and the theater is “fan freindly” you might get lucky.

Sometimes you just might see a star at a restaurant, amusement park or mall. You might feel brave enough to approach them and ask for an autograph.It’s a good idea to keep quiet and be very respectful if they are with family or look like they need privacy .
Be prepared and have a pen and paper with you . You never know!

I hope these ideas helped you and I hope you can have as much fun as I’ve had collecting autographs!

Good Luck!
