Welcome to younghollywood. com. Hey, Young Hollywood, I'm Michelle Hummell. We're here today behind the scenes at the photoshoot for Established Today's Ultimate Fashion Contest. We've got Keke Palmer and Ashley Argota from True Jackson, and they're going to be the celebrity judges. Girls can actually go to the website and design their own pieces of clothing, and you get to be the celebrity judge. How do you feel about this?
It's going to be a lot of fun, so when I'm on that judge, I'm going to be really good and I'm going to make sure I'm very fair.
Have you had any really cool fan moments?
I remember one time I went to Upstate, Upstate New York like uh Syracuse, and it was this little girl who walked past this booth. I was like signing autographs at. And she like stopped really quick, and she started crying, and her dad was like, "We've been running around the whole park trying to find you." And it just touched my heart so much, like she really idolized me that much that it brought her to tears, and it just I just hugged her so tight 'cause I thought it was just the sweetest thing that anybody ever done.
Now, we know that you're good in television, but you have some new movies coming up, correct?
Yes. I just did a film called Shrink with Kevin Spacey and Robin Williams, it's just nothing like True Jackson, VP. Definitely a movie that is shows my dramatic side.
How is that for you? That switch between comedic and dramatic and what do you have a passion for either or?
Um, I'm naturally like, I'm naturally like a jokes feel like Really? I can't tell. It's always really cool to do something different, because, you know, it's not your normal thing. So, I have a lot of fun when I play those dramatic roles, because I get to be somebody else and it's cool sometimes to play somebody else. And then with True Jackson and go to True Jackson, and I can be True Jackson with a little bit of Keke's pizzazz in it. Or not pizzazz, but that's a cool word.
Pizzazz, start using.
Pizzazz. Pizzazz, a little Keke pizzazz in it.
Tell me a little bit about your experience when you went to the website.
Oh, when you go to the website, there's this place where you can design your own shirts, which was really cool. You can pick whatever color shirt you want, and you can put like music notes on it or stars, and mine has music notes and stars, because that's kind of my thing. So, it's a lot, it's a really fun website.
You play Lulu on True Jackson, VP, and you guys, well, you're kind of into the fashion.
Just a little bit. We're very into the fashion. I mean, I got here this morning and all these clothes are here, and I had a field day. I almost fainted when I came in. All these clothes are just so amazing. I'm having so much fun.
Young Hollywood did a set visit, and you guys had Jennette McCurdy on the show.
I get to play the popular snooty mean girl, and I actually use a different voice than I do for Sam, and different than my normal voice. I use more like a valley girl voice.
So, besides pretending you're at the movies, what do you like to do? Oh my gosh! Jennette has some of my favorite guest stars.
She was so much fun to have, 'cause she's one of my best friends. It was really cool to have one of my best friends on the show.
Now, how did you become good friends with Jennette?
Um, well, I'd met her when I did iCarly, and then we did a Nickelodeon where we all got slimed together. So that was definitely a bonding experience.
Now, I want to congratulate you. You guys are getting picked up for a second season.
We are so excited. Oh my gosh, it's so exciting.
How did you react the first time you heard the news?
I don't think I've ever screamed so much in my entire life. It was so like everybody was just so excited. I walked over to Keke and she was like hugging me from behind and we were holding each other so tight.
Hey! Thanks for hanging out with us. I'm Ashley.
I'm Keke.
We love you, Hollywood.
