Ypulse Monthly Teen Mag Roundup
Posted by casey on 10-17-2008
In a very timely fashion, Scarlett Johansson shines on the cover of CosmoGIRL! and chats candidly about her thoughts on the election and her support of Obama. There is also a not-so-timely guide to surviving college life that might have been better suited for the September issue. Plus, "death by texting," teen dating violence, and the increasing trend of helicopter parents (which we covered earlier this week).
On the Project 2424 front, the magazine talks with Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney. Also catch Ed Westwick, Zac Efron, and Sophia Bush. Looks like a fantastic issue, which makes the recent fate of CosmoGIRL! that much more heartbreaking. I'm curious to know whether they'll keep 2424 alive on the website because it's such a great program for girls.
With High School Musical mania hitting full force, Ashley Tisdale snags Seventeen's cover where she talks about playing Guitar Hero with her castmates, choosing a night at home watching reality TV over hitting the celeb-studded L.A. nightclubs, and hooking up with Zac Efron. The mag also talks to Zac about celeb crushes he would choose to play his on-screen girlfriend (let me guess, Vanessa?), among other things.
The Seventeen Body Peace Project is celebrating its first anniversary. Thousands of readers have already pledged to stop fighting with their bodies, and the mag enlisted top fashion designers like Diane Von Furstenberg, Donna Karan, and Betsey Johnson to create "body shape celebrating" clothing and sign the Seventeen Body Peace Treaty. Also, how to discover your dream job, what they wish they knew before college (I'm a junior and these always make me regretful!), the dangers of smoking, and how to be a vegetarian in a healthy, balanced way.
Rachel Bilson, former star of "The OC," graces the cover of Teen Vogue. While she hasn't been in any new movies or shows lately, she just debuted a clothing line with DKNY that just might be the exception to the "movie stars are not fashion designers" rule. For the "Fashion at Work" theme, the mag talks to designers, models, stylists, editors, and interns.
Also, articles about college visits that get out-of-hand and teen girls' reliance on energy drinks. Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron have been on the past two months' covers, so to continue the HSM media circus, Corbin Bleu gets a little face time.
