With everything going on yesterday, we totally forgot to tell you guys! EA Games just announced that Natasha Bedingfield will be the official sponsor of their newest game, Boogie Superstar for Wii! It’s a pretty kewl game that the company even brought by our offices a few weeks back to let us try out! You get to dance and sing to your fave stars from RIGHT NOW! Natasha, Maroon 5, Missy Elliot, Aly & Aj, Fall Out Boy, The Jonas Brothers, Leona Lewis, Ashley Tisdale and so many more! You totally get to be in the spotlight, work on your moves until they are stage ready, and sing to your heart’s content, either with your friends or on your own! Kind of a kewl improvement to just bouncing on your bed and screaming along, right? The game will be available in October, so start doing the extra chores now!

Pocketful of Sunshine!

August 26th, 2008

Today we got to interview Natasha Bedingfield!!! She was so sweet and fun, and very thoughtful about what she does and how it affects the world. What we really talked to her about…well, we can’t tell you until TOMORROW! So make sure to watch our news during the day on Wednesday!

We’ve been crazy busy, getting our new KEWLteamers on track, and bringing all the kewlblogs back up to date! If you’ve left a comment on one of our celebrity blogs and were wondering why it never showed up - well look again now! If it’s not there yet, it will be soon! There were hundreds of comments we didn’t get to, and we apologize profusely! The new team members are extremely on the ball though, so we don’t expect this to happen any more!

Yesterday, all the claim forms started arriving from all the July issue contest winners, and we did a huge ship out of prizes and KEWLstore items! - remember: you can only ‘purchase’ one KEWLstore item per calendar month! A lot of people are not reading all the directions and rules (!) and  getting people their points back can take a long time.

Well, it’s time to get back to work!

Olympics Over

August 25th, 2008

This kewl staffer is the weirdest  TV watcher ever! I only watched the opening and closing ceremonies, and nothing in between! Guess that’s what happens when you give up TV and only watch it at friend’s houses!

Loved the opening ceremonies! Closing ceremonies were kinda boring for me, even with Leona Lewis, and crazy amounts of performers running around and climbing and flying. I’m sure there was something kewl in the middle there I might have missed (!), so tell us here: What was your fave thing about the Olypmics! You can even have more than one!

Not sure what to write about today…

August 21st, 2008

We’ve gone into quiet mode here at KEWL. This is when we brainstorm about what we should put into the next issue - which isn’t September! We’ve actually finished that one, and are working for October now! How do you like that? So we’re hard at work, gathering the all spooky, scary and Halloween-y stuff we can find for you guys.

We’re not so much into horror movies here. okay, to be fair, some of the staff are, but we always just put our fingers in our ears and sing “La, la, la, la!” So we don’t know much about that :) Some of us like to sleep well at night instead! And walk around the house in the dark, and other things that become impossible with too many scary movies in our brains. Just saying!

So let us know what things you think of when you think October! Orange is a big one for me - but is it cheesy (!) to wear orange and black in October? Or is it always kewl?

Winners Day!

August 20th, 2008

We were kinda busy here at KEWL, but we dusted off the computer randomizer, downloaded all the internet entries, uploaded all the write-in entries, and had the computer spit out the winners for the July 08 prizes!!!

All winners have been sent emails or letters letting them know they have won (is your KEWL profile up to date?!?), plus all the winners are now listed in the winner’s section of the Prize page on kewlmag.com, so you can check it, even if your profile isn’t up to date! Aren’t we nice?

We also asked you to give your answers here if you think you know what musical we were quoting at the end of our HSM2 Sing-A-Long story in today’s news - Hint: It’s really old! Before Grease even! Good luck, and we’ll give the answer in an upcoming blog once  we have a few good guesses.

Close Encounters

August 19th, 2008

Last night, our staff photog Eric had a close encounter with Selena Gomez!  She was going to the movies, just like you and me, and he just happened to be there, too. Then, a few minutes later, he ran into Chelsea Staub, from Minutemen and the star of the upcoming TV show J.O.N.A.S. ! He managed to talk to her (the paparazzi were surrounding Selena) and even got her to sign a few things for future contests - that guy is always thinking about you guys!

Pretty star-filled evening, eh?

Red Rose Day

August 18th, 2008

romeo_kewl_mag.jpg

We’ve just sent an intern out to buy a single long-stemmed rose for Romeo! He’s here today to do a photo-shoot and interview before he goes back to school again! Once he’s in school, he’s under the NCAA rules again, and can’t do any publicity - so this is our last chance! So far he’s pretty kewl, and we’ll be spending the day with him to find out just how kewl!

Have a great day!

So Much Going On!

August 15th, 2008

Along with all the usual kewl stuff we do everyday, and still dealing with that spam problem (argh!), I just realized I need to remind people about how this site works!

If you’re new and you leave a comment, we have to okay it before it will show up on the site. We check the comments every weekday in the morning…in California, so if you do it on a weekend, it wonted get checked until Monday. Sorry about that! After that, you should be good to go, but we still check what’s going on to make sure people aren’t hating or bullying or anything like that. :)

So much in the news! Demi’s new cover art for her upcoming album, and her single’s on it’s way too. And the first peek at HSM3 is up on YouTube! Get you parent’s permission and go check it out! The Jonas Brothers are taking over Radio Disney today - New York, that is!

Know about anything you want to share that ’s coming up?

Let us know!

Jonas Alert!

August 14th, 2008

jonas_brothers_6_kewl_mag.jpg

Okay - there were a million pictures on the web of the Jonas Brothers filming their new movie in New York City’s Central Park yesterday…did any of you get any pix?!?  We’re all the way out in LA, and though we’ve run into them on the street and in restaurants in our hood (!), we’d love to see them filming! If you have pix you’d like to share of stars you’ve met, email them to one of the emails on our website, plus you’ll need to send us a permission note from your parents to post it. Then we’ll put it up in the new photo galleries we’re forming!  We have a few winners pictures so far, but we want more! We always want more! ha!

Also, send us your fave facts, things and quotes about Jonas! We’ll do a collection right here to make everybody swoon! OMJ!
