Teen People

From Palm Pilots to Oscars

Every person from the ages of 9 to 92 is awaiting the release of this years supposed hit, Yellow, (to be released on November 15),following the lives of families living in Philadelphia during the time of the malaria epidemic. Citizens not only await the thrilling plot or historical value, but the star-studded cast. George Clooney stars alongside Nicole Kidman and Kirk Douglas in this drama/adventure.

Most teens aren't eager to see George, Nicole, or Kirk, but young Summer Hathaway, who also manages everyone's favorite group of teenage rebels, School of Rock. Summer is young and feisty, and an amazing actress.

"She was great to work with," says Clooney. "She's extremely funny on set, but can flip the switch as soon as the cameras turn on. Its so nice to see people this young being so serious and passionate about something."

"She's so responsible," laughed director, Bobby Jameson. "She's like a forty-year-old soccer mom and lawyer trapped in a 16-year-old's body."

"I never knew that Summer could act," stated Freddy Jones, the drummer of School of Rock, "But I've seen some clips from the movie and she's amazing."

Hathaway was recently signed on to star in another film, a movie version of the musical, Mamma Mia.

"She used to sing horribly," giggled lead back-up singer of School of Rock, Tomika Hassan, "I mean horribly. She took lots of voice lessons though, out of embarrassment, and boy can she belt it now. I can't wait to see Mamma Mia."

Hathaway loves acting, she says. "It's always been my dream. Believe it or not, I never dreamed of being the next David Geffen. It's interesting, and I'll continue to manage the band, but acting is definitely the best thing that's happened to me."

Summer Hathaway may have been the best thing that's happened to acting. Kidman recently stated, "Summer is definitely not one of those kiddie actors who's just put in films as eye candy. She truly is wonderful at what she does."

We definitely hope to see more, lots more, of Summer in the future, in acting and in band-managing.

Another Member Gone

November 23, 2005

Just days after the release of their latest album, Alicia Allen, or Brace Face, as she's known within School of Rock, was reportedly checked into a treatment facility to help Alicia get over her issues with 'illegal substance abuse.'

Allen was checked into the Augustus Rehabilitation Center, used by only the richest and worst affected celebrities in the world. Two of the band's members (Tomika Hassan and Summer Hathaway) were there with her when Alicia checked into the center, and after exiting the building, the two reluctantly commented.

"We're going to support her all the way through this," stated Hassan, looking extremely upset. "She's my best friend in the world and I'm going to make sure she gets better."

When asked on whether Allen would be continuing with School of Rock, Hathaway answered, a little sadly. "We think it would be better if she kept a low profile after all this is over with. We want to make sure she gets better and stays better, so, no, she will not be continuing with us."

School of Rock, now down to a guitarist, bassist, drummer, one back-up singer, and a manager, are planning a tour in the U.S. and Canada this spring.

Yellow

November 30, 2005

Yellow, this year's most awaited feature film, was recently released, and is now the largest grossing film this year. Not only are the sets, camera angles, plot, and script amazing, but the young lead actress is quite amazing.

Summer Hathaway, manager of School of Rock, is perfect for the role physically and does a wonderful job portraying the emotions of the character.

"Wow," stated director/writer of many movies, Chris Columbus stated after the Yellow premiere. "Hathaway was absolutely stunning. I would cast her in every teenage role I had from now on if I could."

"I never thought that the feedback would be so positive," stated Hathaway herself. "I can't believe how many super comments I've gotten."

"Summer is talented at whatever she does," stated Dewey Finn, former lead singer of School of Rock, who showed up at the premiere of Yellow. "Not only is she brilliant, but she's funny, obviously a wonderful actress, and now a fabulous singer."

After the movie version of the musical, Mamma Mia, Hathaway has signed on to portray Juliet in the remake of Shakespeare's classic play, Romeo and Juliet.

"I can't wait to see what the future has in store for me," Summer said. "I'm so thankful for what I've been given, and everyone who's supported me."
