We met the members of R5, and they are really funny!
We got up-close and personal with the 5-piece band R5 consisting of Ross Lynch, Riker Lynch, Rocky Lynch, Rydel Lynch, and (Ellington) Ratliff. What’s it like touring the world? What are their favorite things about each other? Find out the answers to these questions and more below!
Q: Do you guys have any pets?
Ratliff: I was the only one with pets and I had dogs, cats, and a little bird. I don’t know what kind of bird it was but it was a little bird. I always had pets.
Rocky: I got two baby turtles for my birthday one time and they were really small, and they lived for, like, a year.
Q: Are you guys classically trained musicians?
Ross: No. Actually we’re all self-taught musicians, but being a band for five years, you learn quite a bit.
Riker: We started at a really young age, just performing for basically anyone who would watch. We pretty much grew up doing it. And we were all best friends. We all loved each other’s company and there was really no one else we would rather do it with. And then we moved to California and met Ratliff at a performing arts center, and he fit in quite nicely.
Ratliff: I did.
Riker: So, we started playing gigs around California. One set led to another and now we’re here.
Q: Ratliff, you didn’t even have to change your name.
Ratliff: Yeah. My real first name’s Ellington and my last name is Ratliff. So at first they were like, “No, we can call you Roger…”
Q: Could each say something about another member of the band?
Ratliff: Rydel is . . . we like to call her the secret weapon of R5 because, you know, without her we would just be another boy band and who wants that? But, yeah, she brings the fun. She’s really giggly. She’s really into fashion and things like that. She doesn’t like shopping, but she always looks good.
Rydel: Thanks. Riker is our fearless leader.
Ratliff: Well, he’s afraid of spiders, so he’s not totally fearless!
Rydel: That’s true. I have to kill all the spiders for all of them. But Riker’s captain of the ship and he is a very hard worker. He has the best work ethic ever and he has a really cute nose.
Riker: Thanks, sis. Ross is our awesome front man, and he leads us into every show. Ross is very creative. He’s a total artist. He’s always striving for us to be different and try new things. He definitely keeps it fresh. It’s good.
from left to right: Ross, Riker, Rocky, Rydel, and Ratliff
Q: Ok, Ross, it’s your turn now.
Ross: All right, Rocky can be quiet sometimes. He’s also a thinker. He’s very smart. He always did well in school. He’s the one who taught himself how to play guitar first. So he’s really wise for such a young age, but he’s also somewhat of a realist. Surprisingly, even though he’s all those things, he’s also really funny with a dry sense of humor when it’s appropriate!
Q: All right, Rocky, you do Ratliff.
Rocky: He’s the alien.
Ratliff: I’m the onion?
Rocky: The alien! Ratliff is the UFO in the group, the unidentified object. He’s the only one not related.
Ratliff: I mean, I think we’ve covered that one. What else you got?
Rocky: You probably have the biggest vocabulary in the group, which is helpful for these interviews.
Ratliff: I DO have the biggest vocabulary in the group.
Rocky: Ross is a close second.
Ross: I just make words up. Or I’ll use words without totally knowing what they mean. I’ll learn the meaning soon after if someone tells me I’m stupid.
Rydel: Yeah, he learns really big words and then he just kind of throws them out, and we’re like, “Is that . . . what did he say?”
Q: What’s the best thing about touring?
Ross: I feel like there’s something that you learn from traveling so much.
Rydel: Definitely. Like riding a camel.
Ross: I don’t know how much we learned from that.
Rydel: That they smell really bad.
Ratliff: Well, you learn about the culture. That’s what you really learn about. How people live.
Ross: It opens up your mind to how other people think.
I totally wish I could hang out with R5. They seem like such hilarious, chill people! Of course, it’s not like I’ll show up at their front door asking them to be my friends . . . What do you think? Are you a fan of R5? Be sure to check out our earlier interview with R5, watch this video interview with Ross Lynch, and leave your thoughts in the Comments below!
See ya,

Introducing Ross Lynch and his band!Last Friday we asked you, the lovely people of the STACKS, whose interview you wanted for this week’s celebrity blog post. Thanks for voting! While there was pretty stiff competition, there was definitely a clear winner: this week’s pick is R5! We caught up with the band to talk about being on tour, Earth Day, and (of course) new music! Check it out.
Q: Congrats, Ross, on Austin & Ally
being picked up for the 4th season.
Ross: I’m really excited. It’s really the best set that anyone could ask for. Everyone on
Austin & Ally is super nice and very hard working. I’m just excited that we have another year to capitalize on that awesome set and then say goodbye.
Q: What did you guys do for Earth Day?
Rydell: I drew a picture of flowers.
Ross: I cleaned my house—cleaned out the trash and stuff. I recycled!
Riker: I helped Rydell get the flowers!
Q: What is new with you guys? Are you going back on tour soon? Ross: We’ve been on our latest tour for quite some time now. We just did Europe and Canada. We sold out a bunch of gigs in cities that we’ve never been to before, which is amazing. We have a lot of radio festivals and things like that coming up, and we are really excited!
Q: What was the most delicious food you guys ate while on tour? Ross: Croque Madame in Paris.
Rydell: We had really great shawarma in Tel Aviv, Israel!
Q: Are you recording a new album? Rydell: We are in the process of recording, finishing, writing, and tweaking the new album.
Ross: It’s a little challenging since we have a single on radio right now. We’re kind of constantly going back and forth from the radio to the studio.
Q: Do you think it helps that your show is number 1 on the Disney Channel right now? Ross: I don’t think it hurts! The Disney fan base is very supportive of the music we make and I’m very appreciative of that. I think everything helps.
Q: Do you have a message you’d like to give to your fans? Rydell: We love the R5 family!
Ross: Thanks for the support, and hope you guys enjoy the new music!
R5: Keep on rocking!

Who should be in the Dork Diaries movie cast?You may have heard already, but the bestselling Dork Diaries book series will be made into a movie in 2015! Cool, huh?
If you haven’t read any Dork Diaries books
yet, they’re pretty hilarious. They are written from the diary perspective of Nikki, a 14-year-old middle-schooler, who just transferred to a snooty private school. What everyone doesn’t know is that she is there on scholarship as a part of her dad’s bug exterminator business contract.
Nikki doesn’t fit in with the wealthy, designer-clad students, and spends most of her time alone writing in her diary. Then she befriends two other “dorky” girls, Chloe and Zoey, and discovers the beautiful Brandon Roberts (her crush). But the most popular girl in the school MacKenzie Hollister also has a crush on Brandon, and is determined to make Nikki’s life more miserable than it already is.
So . . . before the casting is decided, we want to know who’s in YOUR dream cast? Maybe some big Hollywood exec will even read this post and cast your pick!
Let us know your cast picks for . . .
Disney Channel
Nikki: With her brown pigtails, and artsy, clumsy, and lovably dorky ways, I would choose G Hannelius.
Chloe: She is slightly prissy and a self-proclaimed expert on boys. I can’t decide between Peyton List
and
Olivia Holt.Zoey has dark hair, loves self-help books, and acts like a teen Dr. Phil with hoop earrings. Zendaya
or
China Anne McClain maybe?
Janet Mayer / PRPhotos.com
Brandon has wavy hair and blue eyes. He’s an animal lover and super-cute dreamboat. Ross Lynch
— no contest!
MacKenzie has blond hair, blue eyes, and is as evil as a rattlesnake in lip gloss and ankle boots! I would pick Dove Cameron
— not because I think she’s mean, but because she can play all different kinds of girls. She plays
2 completely different people in one show!List your dream cast in the Comments below. We can’t wait to see who you say!

How celebrities observe Earth DayEarth Day is on its way! Are you ready? What are YOU doing for Earth Day on April 22? We asked Disney stars like Ross Lynch, Olivia Holt, and a bunch of others what they did last Earth Day (and every day) to stay green. You might be inspired!
ROSS LYNCH
–
AUSTIN & ALLY AND
TEEN BEACH MOVIE “I was actually at Disney World. Animal Kingdom opened on Earth Day, and they were celebrating their 15th year of being open. They had a celebration and it was really cool! Animal Kingdom has all these animals, and they are really working hard to preserve their habitats. So it was really cool to be a part of all that, because I love animals!”
MAIA MITCHELL
–
TEEN BEACH MOVIE “We lit a bunch of candles. My roommates and I came up with a plan to be more environmentally friendly. We always recycle and make sure we turn lights off, but there is so much more you can do!”
BLAKE MICHAEL
–
DOG WITH A BLOG “I actually bought some flowers and planted them in my house. I love gardening.”
CHLOE AND HALLE BAILEY
– WINNERS OF RADIO DISNEY’S
THE NEXT BIG THING Chloe: “We just celebrated the wonder of it. We went outside. We sat on the grass and we just enjoyed the air. We embraced it! A lot of people take this wonderful beautiful Earth for granted, and I feel like we need to enjoy it more.”
CAMERON BOYCE
–
JESSIE “We did a lot of fun stuff! We planted trees and cut down on our garbage. I try to make a constant effort so it’s not just on Earth Day.”
CALUM WORTHY
–
AUSTIN & ALLY “On Earth Day I like to plant trees. I like to go out and not use any electricity or use cars. I like to really commit to it.”
OLIVIA HOLT – KICKIN’ IT
“I was on set on Earth Day. We had all these recycling bins on set, and we were really good about turning off the lights when we left our dressing room. So it was a big day for us—it was super fun!”
STEFANIE SCOTT – A.N.T. FARM
“We recycle on our set. We recycle all of our scripts and everything!”
KELLI BERGLUND – LAB RATS
“I do things for Earth Day every day. I recycle every day. On Earth Day, I recycled!”
KATHERINE MCNAMARA – JESSIE AND KICKIN’ IT
“I went to the flower store and I bought a bunch of flowers and flowerpots. I put them up on my deck and just enjoyed the day!”
JAYLEN BARRON – GOOD LUCK CHARLIE
“I’ve always been conscious of the Earth. I never use too much water and I never pour oil down the sink. That’s a definite no-no in my house. And for Earth Day, I wore green!”
GARRETT CLAYTON AND MOLLEE GRAY – TEEN BEACH MOVIE
Garrett: “I didn’t drive my car and I didn’t use electricity. It was really hard!”
Mollee: “I walked down a street with a couple of my friends, and we picked up every piece of garbage we found and put it in a bin!”
CAROLINE SUNSHINE – SHAKE IT UP
“I spent the day before Earth Day filming a PSA (public service announcement) for the Disney Channel so that kids would know about national parks. I spent Earth Day at the beach!”
P.S. Earth Day is a great day to remember to love our planet, but it’s super-important to remember to love our planet EVERY DAY!

Cast your favorite stars in a movie based on your favorite book!So many books I love have been turned into movies: Harry Potter, Hunger Games, The Chronicles of Narnia, Percy Jackson . . . The list could go on and on! And while it’s super-exciting to see how different directors and actors interpret the stories and characters I’ve loved on the page, I can’t help but wonder how things would turn out if someone else played Peeta
, or
Hermione, or even
Grover. That’s why our next
Winter Reading Games event is . . . drumroll, please . . . Dream Cast! Which actors would you choose to play the characters in a movie adaptation of YOUR favorite book?
Right now I’m reading The Lost Hero
from the Heroes of Olympus series. My dream cast?
.
For Piper, I’d cast Zendaya Coleman.
And for Leo? Cameron Boyce, obviously!
What book are YOU reading right now? If it were turned into a movie (or if it already has been), whom would you cast to play the characters? Share in the Comments section below!
PS. Are you coming to the Readathon on Saturday? It’s going to be EPIC!

Ross Lynch Interview
I think it’s been about a week since I mentioned how much I love Ross Lynch
, and that is obviously way too long! So, today I have an interview with him talking about his band R5. I have been so obsessed with
Teen Beach Movie, I totally forgot about his band with his 2 brothers Rocky and Riker, sister Rydel, and best friend Ellington Ratliff. Can you guess why they call themselves R5? They have been touring all summer, but we got a quick interview with the charming and adorable Ross.
Q: What was the most interesting news story that you saw on TV or read this week?
Ross: I don’t even think I saw anything online this week because when I’m on tour I don’t really surf the web at all.
Q: So you don’t listen to the news or anything like that?
Ross: Sorry, no. (laughs)
Q: Do you have any pets?
Ross: No, I wish, but my mom won’t let me get one. I love animals.
Q: What do you feel is the most important issue to kids your age today?
Ross: The most important issue, I feel, is to get outside. I feel that social networking and all that stuff like playing video games — even I like playing video games– but you have to remember get some sun! Just get outside and enjoy life because it only lasts so long.
Q: What do you want most in the world?
Ross: I have everything I need. I don’t know if I need any more than what I have. Yes, I am pretty lucky.
Q: What’s new with R5?
Ross: Currently we are on tour to 50 cities. I just literally flew in today and I’m flying back out to Canada tonight to go back on tour. We are going to release a new album after the tour probably September or late this year. Just a lot of exciting stuff. Just playing any show we can. Just doing whatever we can.
UPDATE: The new album Louder will be released on September 24, and the first single “Pass Me By” is out now. The video reminds me a little too much of One Direction’
s video for “Live While We’re Young,” but that’s not a criticism. I love them both! What do you think? Are you an R5 fan? Leave a Comment!
