Hanging out with Cody Simpson!

July 22nd, 2011 by Anthea | 1 Comment | Filed in Celebrity, Music, The Magazine

Hey girls!

I first met Cody Simpson last year when he was just starting out in the music biz. Since then, I’ve been a HUGE fan! That’s why I was so thrilled to catch up with Cody again when he came back to Australia recently. I quizzed Cody about his backstage essentials, his awesome new single ‘On My Mind’ and his guest spot on the Disney show So Random! I’m also pleased to report that Cody just loved seeing himself in ‘Colour My World’ in the July issue!!!

You can read our Cody Questionnaire in the latest issue of Girl Power (with Selena on the cover!). The interview was also filmed for a little doco about a day in the life of Cody Simpson! I must admit, seeing myself on camera was an eensy bit embarrassing! You can get a behind-the-scenes look at Cody’s crazy-busy day below!


Hope you enjoyed this sneak peek into Cody’s adventure in Australia! Get the latest Cody updates at www.codysimpson.com and in Girl Power magazine, of course!

Lots of luv,

Anthea xx

GP Chats with Logan from Big Time Rush: Part Two!

June 8th, 2011 by Anthea | 2 Comments | Filed in Celebrity, Music, The Magazine

Today we bring you Part Two of our chat with Logan from the awesome band Big Time Rush! If you missed part one, find it here! Also don’t forget to pick up a copy of our July issue to find out all about the boys’ new single, ‘Boyfriend’.

Make a big mug of hot chocolate and get reading!

GP: Do you still get a buzz out of hearing yourself on the radio?

Logan: I’m such a perfectionist and as an artist you always want to produce something that makes me happy and makes everyone else happy. I want to put out music that affects people in some type of way. It’s such a great feeling, not really a weird one, to have a track or record you really love and that you are so passionate about.

GP: Do you hang out with your band mates off set or do you get sick of each other!?

Logan: We spend pretty much seven days a week with each other because of rehearsals and filming the show and recording so any kind of extra time that we have we usually go our own separate ways. We love each other to death but everyone needs their own time.

The Big Time Rush Boys!

GP: What can we expect from the rest of Season Two of Big Time Rush?

Logan: It’s pretty much going to be bigger and better than what you have seen already. There are a lot more guest stars coming up and a lot of funny things that happen. We have been making new music in the studio so you can expect the biggest and the best!

GP: Do you have a dream artist you wish to collaborate with in the future?

Logan: We have some great European artists that we are really keen to work with. Tiny Temper is one of them, Lupe Fiasco is another great artist. Jessie J…the list goes on and on. I listen to so much music so there are so many different people I would want to work with! The possibilities are limitless.

GP: Do you have any pets?

Logan: One of my close friends has a little dog and I am kind of like the other parent of that dog and my roommate has a big German Shepherd. I am a huge animal lover and I love dogs.

GP: Do you have any advice for our GP readers who may want to start a band of their own?

Logan: No matter what it is that you want to do, you should dream as big as you can and go for it. Don’t let anyone tell you that it can’t be done because that is the worst advice. Do whatever you want to do and hard work will make it pay off.

The new single from Big Time Rush, ‘Boyfriend‘, is out now – it features Snoop Dogg! You can also catch the boys on Big Time Rush on Nickelodeon.

Delta Saves the Day!

May 12th, 2011 by Anthea | 7 Comments | Filed in Celebrity, Music

Hey Girl Powerettes!

Last night, the lovely Delta Goodrem delivered not one but two amazing performances on America’s Dancing with the Stars! When the super singer Adele got too sick to perform, Delta stepped in and performed the classic track ‘(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman’. It was the first time she’d ever performed it and she had less than an hour of rehearsal time! Amazing.

Check out her performance below!


Delta also sung her new duet with Michael Bolton, ‘I’m Not Ready’. It would have been totally nerve-wracking to perform, especially in front of an audience of 21 MILLION PEOPLE! Wowzers!

What do you think girls? Is that inspiring, or what?!

The GP Team :)
