Welcome to Young Hollywood dot com. Hey guys, it's Michelle Marie. I'm here hanging out in the studio with Jesse McCartney. Finished your fourth album. We're very excited to hear it. How are you feeling today?

Jesse McCartney

I'm feeling good. How are you doing, Michelle?

Young Hollywood

I'm good. You have insane fans from all over the world. Tell me some of the stories that you've had over the years like what's the craziest, you know, fan experience you've had, because you toured all over the world. So I'm sure you have a few.

Jesse McCartney

I do have some insane fans and I love them all for their insanity. It's a good insanity. Um, I let's see, the craziest thing, I had this one group of fans on my first debut, it was my first tour my debut album when I was 16. It was a US tour and I remember that these four, it was like during the summer and these four girls they were like just got their driver's license. They followed the entire tour. They followed our tour bus around the entire United States and came to, I think 25 shows. Um, which was unbelievable. I don't know who was funding this uh, excursion that they were on, but it was, they were clearly some die-hard fans and I've never forgotten that. So thank you, guys.

Young Hollywood

Oh my god. How exciting is that? I have to tell you that I took to my Twitter this morning and I asked them to send some questions and my Twitter pretty much crashed. I'm going to pull up a few questions. I mean, there's one that I think that every girl wants to know. What do you look for in a girl? I'm sure you get that all the time.

Jesse McCartney

Oh, man. Here we go. What do I look for in a girl? For me, I, I, I love good wit. You know, I love somebody who's can be wittier than I am and sort of can, can kind of make fun of me and kind of take the piss out of me a little bit, you know, that's always fun. Uh, and a girl who there's no uh, false pretense, there's no, uh, she has kind of independent, has her own thing going on. I love that.

Young Hollywood

So the first one is from um, Jojo LeMack. Everything is JMac by the way. Love that. Jojo LeMack wants to know if you're a Gleek.

Jesse McCartney

It's been so hard for me to watch any television, but I do love the show. I I've I've seen a few episodes and I definitely would love to be a part of that cast at some point. I would love to come make a cameo appearance. It's a great show and and uh, everyone, everyone's a Gleek fan. It's a great show.

Young Hollywood

From Janny Sar Senault. Will you ever follow your fans on Twitter again? Because I noticed that you don't follow them right now.

Jesse McCartney

You know, it's funny that you say that your Twitter crashed because the last time I followed everyone and it happened to me twice. My Twitter just would not, it was getting overloaded with everyone posting, posting, posting. I really had to replace my BlackBerry because it was getting so buggy. It's hard to follow everyone. I mean, you know, you just get overloaded with everything, but I try to reply and retweet and to try to, you know, get one-on-one with the fans as much as I can.

Young Hollywood

Okay, this girl is probably your biggest fan. Her name is Kimberly, @KimberlyLynn08.

Jesse McCartney

Oh, I know @Kimberly.

Young Hollywood

Do you know her?

Jesse McCartney

Oh yeah, I've seen I've seen many of her tweets.

Young Hollywood

Okay. She's one of your number one fans. I think she is your number one fan. She wants to know um, what's your guiltiest pleasure?

Jesse McCartney

My guiltiest pleasure are chicken nachos in my underwear on the couch for Sunday Night Football.

Young Hollywood

Okay, Kim. Kim, you can picture that right now. How you feeling? Are you good? Calm down. It's good. The next one. It's a dream. And then just a couple more from her. What new music do you love right now?

Jesse McCartney

I'm a big fan of the Trey Songz uh, record, Bottoms Up. Uh, I love the CeeLo record. FU. I like uh, I like the Usher's back. I like love the Hot Tottie record.

Young Hollywood

I like this one. How is your shoe collection coming along?

Jesse McCartney

I just got these. These fresh pair of kicks the other day. It's good. I I am a big I am I have a weakness for for for cool kicks. I I was in YSL the other day and cleared house.

Young Hollywood

How many do you think you have? How many pairs?

Jesse McCartney

Young Hollywood

Now, there's one last question that I'm going to ask you and I know a lot of people were asking it um, about Taylor Swift. A lot of people want to see you guys working together. Do you see that happening in the future? Have you guys ever been in contact?

Jesse McCartney

We've been in contact. Yeah. I get an email from her once in a while. Taylor's amazing artist and uh, she's the sweetest girl, sweetest person. Um, I'd love to work with Taylor. I'm sure at some point in the future we will.
