Forbes recently put out their list of top 10 teen actors. I’d say their right on. These kids not only have talent, but they have “it.” All of them clearly love what they do and were born with natural abilities that with training, just light up the screen. In order of box office pull, Forbes

As my twitter followers know,  I was at the L.A.

I espouse the philosophy that as Momagers, the entertainment business needs to be all about our kids and their experiences whether they're stars, working actors or newbies just getting started in the business.   However, as a business person, brand advocate and a full-fledged marketing addict, I'm throwing that philosophy completely aside for the day.

Not many people hold the title of both child actor and celebrity offspring simultaneously; even fewer hold those titles and transition successfully to television stardom by early adulthood.  This makes Hayden Panettiere a rare breed indeed.  According to a recent interview with "In Style" Magazine, one time child actor and now star of  the hit
