The actress, who is apparently also a director now, is being considered to direct the third movie based on Stephenie Meyer’s series. Drew Barrymore said the following in a recent interview: “I’m one of the directors that is being talked about, which is great, because I’m a director now. But, you know, they’ll make their choice.” Right… first of all: who are they? The vampire clans? Does Drew Barrymore even want to be associated with such dangerous company. And secondly: since when does Drew Barrymore direct movies? But what more does it matter? I guess it’s up to the vampires now to decide the future of her directing career…

“Emergency” video:

It seems like teenager Miley Cyrus is not your ordinary teenager after all. Well, ordinary teenagers have the usual misunderstanding with her folks over having a good time and having a boyfriend but that’s part of the package. It’s a different thing with Miley Cyrus though because to monitor her actions, her parents allowed her 21-year old boyfriend Justin Gaston to move in with them in their Toluca Lake, California family home. And since then thing shave never been the same in the home front.

Miley Cyrus has been forever quarrelling with her parents and even her dad Billy Ray Cyrus and mom Tish have been in the warfront too. And oh, add her little brother and sister to the equation and you get a really nice, dysfunctional American household. Miley Cyrus is raking in the big bucks so her parents are protecting her by keeping her under their radar even if it means having her boyfriend play house with them too. Her parents thought it would be easier if they have both of them under one roof so they can keep an eye on Miley but former underwear model Justin Gaston is becoming a pain. Apparently, Justin Gaston is starting to get into Billy Ray Cyrus’ hair by walking around the house in his briefs, raiding the family refrigerator and guess what—devouring Billy Ray Cyrus’ favorite Apple pie.

Singer-songwriter Kate Voegele is gearing up for the May release of A Fine Mess, the highly anticipated follow-up to her 2008 debut album, Don’t Look Away (MySpace/Interscope). Voegele recorded the album in Los Angeles with producer Mike Elizondo, Rihanna, Maroon 5, Pink.

The 22-year-old has been racking up frequent flier miles of late, jetting back and forth between L.A. and Wilmington, North Carolina, where she’s also shooting new episodes of the CW Network’s hit TV series “One Tree Hill.” This season sees Voegele reprising her role as singer-songwriter Mia. She made headlines last year by performing several songs on the show, all from Don’t Look Away.

In their year-end issue, Billboard magazine spotlighted the 10 biggest film and television placement/appearances of 2008 and put Voegele’s involvement with “One Tree Hill” at No. 1. Wrote Billboard Sr. Editor Ann Donohue, “There’s getting a song placed in a prime-time show and then there’s getting cast in that show to play your own music and have the show’s creator write storylines for you inspired by your songs. Such was the case for Kate Voegele…”.

The new season of “One Tree Hill” will see Voegele giving audiences sneak previews of songs from the upcoming album, beginning with the March 16th episode, when she will premiere a brand-new track titled “Manhattan From The Sky.”

Voegele, hailed by Entertainment Weekly for being among the best of “the new golden age of female singer-songwriters,” spent the majority of 2008 touring in support of debut album Don’t Look Away, the record that earned her “Artist To Watch In ‘08” accolades from Billboard. Over the course of the year, she shared stages with Natasha Bedingfield, The Veronicas, Ben Lee, Cary Brothers and launched her own headlining tour.
Voegele performed on “Live with Regis and Kelly” and CBS’ “The Early Show,” and also appeared on “TRL” and Fuse-TV’s “The Sauce.” She recently gave a special acoustic performance on the ABC-TV’s “The Bachelor.” She’s also been featured on the cover of USA Today’s “Life” section and appeared in the pages of People, CosmoGirl, TV Guide and Giant, to name but a few.
