I'm really glad ya'll like it, and I think it'll have more plot than you seem to think…but maybe not…

Dewey Finn – School Dropout

June 17, 2005

On Monday, June 14, School of Rock held a huge concert in Dallas, without one of their key members, Dewey Finn. When asked about this, Summer Hathaway was rather secretive, but US reporters did hear her mumble a few things.

"Just because he doesn't have the 'hot body' that Freddy, Zack, and Lawrence do he has to go get all emotional and cry to his mom," was one of many rude comments Hathaway was heard saying.

Freddy Jones, drummer, did care to comment. "Dewey Finn, screw you!" he exclaimed. Many of the band members seemed to feel the same way as they cheered and hollered behind him.

What's next for Dewey Finn? No one knows. Reporters have not been able to contact him, as he refuses to see anyone besides, as Summer Hathaway stated, his mother.

Kids With Talent

June 30, 2005

We, the lucky workers of Rolling Stone, got to sit down to coffee with Katie Brown, Marta Hale, Alicia Allen, and Tomika Hassan of the upcoming group of teenage rock sensations, School of Rock. The girls were great fun to talk to and open with everything.

RS: Girls, let me start with just saying, your band truly rocks. I'm a big fan.

MH: (Giggling) Thanks so much.

KB: It's always good to meet a fan.

RS: So, let's begin with the music. You guys have a platinum record and just went on a US tour, what's next?

AA: We're not exactly sure. Summer's not here with her palm pilot.

TH: (Laughing) Actually, we're heading to the MTV Awards fairly soon, and then we're taking a two-week break before we go on another tour.

KB: Yeah, only this one's worldwide.

RS: Great! I hope I get to see one of the concerts. Do any of you write songs?

MH: No, not really. Zack writes most of them. Lawrence might write one or two. Truthfully, if we wrote we wouldn't know what to write about. We'd turn into like Britney clones and we don't want that.

RS: Ah, so Zack and Lawrence are the deep ones. What personas do you think each one of you possesses?

MH: (Giggling) I'm definitely the girly, giggling type.

KB: I'm kind of serious, but not as much as Larry and Zack.

AA: I'm the funny one. And sassy too. I can make everybody laugh.

TH: (laughing) I solve everyone's problems.

RS: How do you think the fame as affected your personalities, if at all?

KB: I'm not shy at all anymore. I just do what I want.

MH: I don't really think its affected me, but I do think it affected Freddy. (Giggles) He's taking it to the head, you know, all the girls.

RS: He seems like that type. Speaking of romance…any romances for anyone in the band?

AA: I don't really know. I don't care, either.

KB: I don't know if I want to tell…

MH: I'd be happy to tell for you, Katie. Zack and Katie are dating. Personally, I find it adorable.

KB: Marta!

MH: What? They would have found out eventually.

RS: Don't worry Katie, we would have found out soon enough anyway. How is the tour bus? What's it like?

AA: At first we were all so excited to get on the tour bus. It is pretty cool, with video games, televisions, stereos, and stuff, but after a week or two we were completely sick of it.

KB: Ugh! You just want to throw up, you know? Being in extremely tight spaces turns you against people.

TH: Oh yeah! (laughs) Alicia and Katie got in a huge fight. It was so funny.

RS: You guys are so great. Who would you say are your major inspirations? What's your favorite band?

KB: I'm like Led Zeppelin's biggest fan. I LOVE YOU!

MH: When we started this band, I'm ashamed to say, I was obsessed with Christina Aguilera. Now I'm pretty into the Eagles old songs. They're really good.

AA: I don't know, there's so many. Probably AC/DC. Definitely AC/DC.

TH: Green Day. By a landslide.

RS: Those are all great bands. What celebrities have you guys met?

AA: I got so excited when we met Ozzie and Sharon. We were all really star struck. None of us could really talk.

TH: They were really cool, but my favorite was when we met Denzel. He's like the best actor ever.

MH: I thought that Ellen DeGeneres was hilarious. We went on her talk show and she just cracked me up every time she opened her mouth.

KB: My favorite was by far Adam Sandler. He's definitely the funniest guy on the planet. Billy Madison is my favorite movie, too.

RS: Will you comment on the recent leaving of Dewey Finn?

KB: Oh…

AA: Don't speak that man's name. He makes me so mad.

MH: To put it bluntly, people liked us better. (laughs) I know that sounds really vain, but that's seriously why he left. We were younger, and more popular and he was jealous.

TH: Seriously, would you rather watch hot high school sophomores or a fat, old guy?

RS: Definitely you guys. Thank you so much, Katie, Tomika, Marta, and Alicia! We'll be sure to invite you back.

A Little Schoolgirl Jealousy

July 9, 2005

An insider with People Magazine recently spotted the recently popular band, School of Rock, at a dinner together. According to our very reliable source, the couple within the band, Katie Brown (bassist) and Zack Mooneyham (lead guitar/vocals), were very into each other.

"They're such a cute couple," our source tells us. "You could tell they were in love. Holding hands and stuff."

Also, according to our source, the band's bubbly little back-up singer, Marta Hale, seemed to be just a tad bit jealous.

"All was going well at first," another anonymous tipper tells us. "I mean Marta looked a little angry, she kept shooting them death glares, but then, Zack and Katie shared a kiss. That's when Marta actually through her water across the table at the two and stormed out of the building, followed closely by Freddy Jones (drummer) who looked ready to comfort her."

Is all well in the world of these adorable teenagers? Right now, the school seems to be having a little trouble.
