We Are the World 1985
Posted on20. Feb, 2010 by Editor Tracy Bobbitt.
How many former child stars can you spot in the 1985 kids version of “We Are The World”? I’ll give you a hint about who to be on the lookout for: Drew Barrymore, Fergie, Alyssa Milano, Danny Pintauro (“Who’s the Boss”), Kim Fields (Tootie “Facts of Life”), Alfonso Ribeiro (“Silver Spoons,” “Fresh Prince”) and more!
Entertainment Tonight recently reminisced with the now grown child performers involved in the original children’s recording version of “We Are the World.” Young Drew Barrymore told ET back in 1985, “I’m a kid and there are many kids in Ethiopia too and they’re dying and kids want to help other kids.” So sweet I can tell you from personal experience, she’s still the sweet, caring girl you see in this video – and has the highly admirable quality of remembering the names of everyone she meets – I seriously don’t know how she does it. Kim Fields told ET she was glad they found this old video because it reminded her of her part in the event: “Had [you] not called and said, ‘You were in this and we want to talk you about it,’ I wouldn’t have remembered I was in it.” She continued, “Whether this song is being used to raise money, or raise awareness, at the end of the day, you’re praying that it helps someone.”

11 Year Old Selena Gomez’ Audition Tape
Posted on01. Feb, 2010 by Editor Tracy Bobbitt.
It’s no secret at HMB, we love us some Selena Gomez! The highlight of my daughter Jordan’s day working on “Wizards of Waverly Place” last summer was the time she spent talking with Selena in Selena’s dressing room. It was the first time in Jordan’s short 10 years I’ve ever seen her speechless. Watching this tape of one of her early auditions, it’s notable that Selena is all ready very polished for 11 years old. Take note up and coming actors – this is a wonderful role model.

New Nick Show: Big Time Rush
Posted on29. Nov, 2009 by Editor Tracy Bobbitt.
Meet Carlos Pena, James Maslow, Logan Henderson and Kendall Schmidt — the stars of Nick’s newest show “Big Time Rush!”
In a special preview of Big Time Rush which aired November 28, 16-year-old Kendall, is discovered by washed-up record executive Gustavo Rocque (Stephen Glickman) during a nationwide casting call. The accidental rock star is then forced to choose staying home in Minneapolis with his buddies or pursuing a dream, singing career in Hollywood. Mmmm. Sounds like a hybrid of Jonas Brothers/Naked Brothers Band and “Entourage.” You guessed it – Kendall strikes a deal with the Hollywood image-maker, agreeing to undergo “pop group 101” training in exchange for giving his best friends – Carlos, James, and Logan – the opportunity to be in the band. The four teens travel with Kendall’s mom played by Challen Cates (btw – on a personal note congrats on landing this gig Challen!) and younger sister played by Ciara Bravo, from the Midwest to Los Angeles, where they move into the Palm Woods, a swanky temporary housing development where entertainment companies house their aspiring talent from out of state (think Burbank’s Oakwood Apartments).
The boys immediately learn that life in Hollywood doesn’t revolve around wooing starlets and raving at late-night parties, and that the clock is ticking away their time to prove worthiness to the record label big wigs. Do they have what it takes to make it in the music world? I guess we’ll learn more when ”Big Time Rush” premiere’s in early 2010 on Nickelodeon. My 10 year old daughter Jordan, who did watch the show, gives it the full blown Hollywood Kid approval.

Video: Noah Cyrus on the Red Carpet
Posted on29. Jul, 2009 by Editor Tracy Bobbitt.
I’m fascinated with this clip because it’s the perfect example of why young children need publicists and wranglers accompanying them in media situations. I don’t think Noah Cyrus (younger sister of Miley Cyrus) could have properly introduced herself to these interviewers or so quickly surmised her involvement in the Hannah Montana movie the way her publicist did. According to IMDB Noah plays “girl with ice cream.” We’ve all got to start somewhere. I get a kick when the publicist eventually realizes he’s in the camera’s eye line and discreetly moves away.
