Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber have big plans to work things out in their relationship. The on and off again couple have recently been spotted on romantic dates together and are trying to work out their problems. A source dished, "They have a two-week rule - they won't go longer than that without seeing each other. That means going on dates, walking on the beach, going on ice cream runs and just being kids," and, "Selena doesn't want to share him. She said he can't have girls or models back to his hotel room." Looks like Jelena might be able to work things out. TWIST will keep you posted!

TWIST just chatted with Ryan Potter! He dished to us about his charity, Toy Box of Hope, and all about season two of Supah Ninjas. OMG! Check our exclusive convo with him below!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: Can you tell us a little bit about your show Supah Ninjas?
Ryan: Season one was awesome. It was so much fun shooting it. Season two takes season one and vamps it all up. The comedy is better. The action is faster paced. You see more of us fighting and more villains. You see how our ninja lives not only interact with these teenage villains but also our personal lives. It's going to be awesome!

TWIST: Do you have a recent favorite memory from filming the show?
Ryan: All of the stunt guys and I made up our own language. After a while, it started catching on on set. We talked in this really deep tone and we were walking around set and it just caught on. You hear Gracie Dzienny (who plays Amanda) saying, "Shut it down." It was funny the random things we would say. It was almost like playing tag in a way. You would go up behind the person, run your finger down their back and say, "Spider back." It's the silliest thing but it caught on fast.

TWIST: Can you tell us a little about your recent involvement with the charity Toy Box of Hope?
Ryan: I'm having a 2nd annual toy drive this year. It's coming along really amazing. We have awesome guests coming - Carlos Pena, James Maslow, Rachel Crow, Leon Thomas. The list just goes on and these guys are so helpful. I'll ask them, 'Hey can you make it to this event?' and they'll be like, "Yeah! Do you need anything?' and I'll say, 'No. I just need you there.' They'll say, "Are you sure? Do you need me to bring anything?' and I'm just like, "No! Just show up!' This whole thing isn't to get as many people in as possible. It's to get a bunch of celebrities in and get a certain amount of people at a time so everyone can meet them and people aren't trying to push to meet James or someone. It's going to be fun. There will be music, drinks, performances, and there will be a great raffle. I always support my charity and then support homeless children in Los Angeles.

TWIST: What are you most excited about for the 2nd Annual Toy Drive?
Ryan: We are having the event at a gym called 'Jam - Joining All Movement.' They are a tricking, parkour, and break dancing gym. Tricking is becoming the new parkour and free running in a sense. People are saying, 'Yeah that's cool! I saw that in a video or a commercial' and then taking it and learning it. Joining All Movement has absolutely one of the best tricking teams in the world; the best trickers in the world and they are absolutely amazing to watch. I watch them and get inspiration to get better at it. They were a huge hit at the celebrity soccer game that we hosted during the summer and I think people are going to enjoy watching them again.

TWIST: What's next for you?
Ryan: Mainly doing school at the moment. I'm working my butt off on charity. I'll be doing a bunch of short films and posting them to my YouTube. It will be fun!

TWIST: Thank you so much for chatting with us!
Ryan: Thank you for your time. Have a good day!

TWIST just chatted with Kelli Berglund from Lab Rats! She gave us the deets on the new season of the show and her work with the charity Audrey Hepburn Cares. Check out the exclusive convo below!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: Can you tell us what to expect from the new season of Lab Rats?
KB: There's a lot of new things happening this season. Season one was the introduction to all of our characters but season two is more about deep secrets being revealed. It's going to be really exciting for the audience.

TWIST: What would TWIST readers love most about the new season?
KB: I think they'd really like to see my character Bree growing into herself. She sets that example for girls since I'm the only girl on the show. This season Bree's more confident and inspires girls to become more confident in themselves and comfortable with who they are.

TWIST: What's in store for Bree this season?
KB: Bree actually has a few more love interests this season and some that are more serious than just the typical crush. Also, there are some really big episodes coming up that involve a lot of action. It's really cool to see Bree do those kinds of things.

TWIST: How are you similar to your character?
KB: When I first went to a new school I was a little bit insecure because I wanted to fit in with everybody, and that's exactly what Bree wants to do. This is her first time out in the real world, and she just wants people to like her.

TWIST: What's the vibe like on the set of Lab Rats?
KB: It's like one big family! From the minute we all stepped on to the set it was just so much fun everyday and the cast and I are very close.

TWIST: You recently participated in the Millions of Milkshakes for Audrey Hepburn Cares. Can you tell us a little bit more about the event?
KB: Yes, I'm involved with the Audrey Hepburn Cares team at the Children's Hospital of LA and it's a great organization. It deals with child abuse and I've felt strongly about the cause since I read a book two years ago about a little boy who had to deal with his family treating him poorly. I wanted to make a difference through this cause.

TWIST: Do you have any upcoming projects our readers can look forward to?
KB: I'm just filming season two of Lab Rats, hopefully that will lead to a third and fourth season. I'd love to do some Disney movies and then some featured films. I just want to keep acting.

TWIST: Thanks Kelli!
KB:Thanks TWIST!

TWIST just chatted with Jonathan Cook from Forever the Sickest Kids! He gave us all the deets on the band's upcoming album and their new theme song for NFL Rush Zone: Guardians of the Core. Check out our exclusive interview below, and be sure to catch Forever the Sickest Kids' theme song during the premiere of NFL Rush Zone tonight at 9PM ET/PT on Nickelodeon!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: How would you describe Forever the Sickest Kids' sound?
Jonathan Cook: We're a pop-rock band from Dallas. We have three singers who do different things with harmonies that some bands with just one singer wouldn't be able to pull off. A lot of our stuff crosses over into dance music as well.

TWIST: Why should TWIST readers check out your music?
Jonathan Cook: We're a super upbeat, positive band. Our goal in the music we write is to put you in a feel-good mood, so we try to bring out emotion that's real to us in every song we write. We write about stuff that we've been through and we put it to music that hopefully will put you in a good mood.

TWIST: Your third album is scheduled to release in early 2013. What are you most excited for fans to hear?
Jonathan Cook: We're so excited! We've been able to really take our time on this album and make the best music that we can. We really put our heart and soul into this album.

TWIST: Can you tell us about your new theme song, "We Are the Guardians," for Nickelodeon's new show NFL Rush Zone?
Jonathan Cook: We're super excited to be working with NFL. When we were chosen for this, it was such an honor because we're all football fans in the band. The NFL has made us keep it hush-hush until it releases in iTunes, which is coming soon, but it's really hard to hold our tongues because we're so excited about this song.

TWIST: Where did the name "Forever the Sickest Kids" come from?
Jonathan Cook: In the beginning of our band, we were all graffiti artists, and there was a graffiti crew in Dallas called Forever the Sickest Kids. They wrote FTSK all over Dallas and we never knew what it stood for. One day when we were eating in a Taco Bell, we went into the bathroom and carved into the mirror was "FTSK: Forever the Sickest Kids." So we started putting up demos under the alias Forever the Sickest Kids, and it stuck.

TWIST: What upcoming projects do you have that we can look forward to?
Jonathan Cook: We've got the album and the release of NFL Rush Zone. I would say pay attention to our Twitter and Facebook because we have a couple of big things in the works right now that we are really excited to announce!

TWIST just chatted with Bailee Madison! She dished about her upcoming movie Parental Guidance, shared funny stories and memories from being on set, and spilled what she can't survive the day without. Check out our exclusive convo below!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: Can you tell us a little bit about your new movie, Parental Guidance?
BM: Parental Guidance is a brand new movie coming out this Christmas Day with Billy Crystal and Bette Midler. The film is about them coming to take care of my younger brothers and me for the first time really because we're not that close to them. My mom and my dad, Marisa Tomei and Tom Everett Scott, have their own ways of parenting so when Billy and Bette come and take care of us, lets just say that not a lot of things go the right way, so its about them trying to bond with us. There are tons of laughs and I'm so excited for you guys to see it, I'm truly proud of it and everyone worked so hard.

TWIST: Why should TWIST readers check out the movie?
BM: I feel like TWIST readers should check out this movie because it really has something for everyone. You can bring your grandparents to the film or your mom and dad or your best friend. It's so rare to find a movie that everyone can enjoy. I'm so proud to say that this is it, you can go in there and there's so much heart and it'll make you laugh. I just realized how many families go on Christmas Day and their ritual is to go to the movie theatre and watch a movie. I think this is the perfect movie because its based upon the holidays and family time and it'll make you laugh and I think it's perfect.

TWIST: How is your real family different from the craziness of the family that you have in the film?
BM: I would probably say that I think each family has a crazy thing about them. My family, there's always something going on. I mean honestly you can ask anyone, there's never a dull moment in my family and in my life. Everyone's so close in my family and the rules are kind of a lot slimmer than Marisa Tomei's rules, who plays my mom.

TWIST: Do you have any funny stories or favorite memories from being on set?
BM: Yes, I do! I would say Bette Midler, who plays my grandmother. She is just like me. She loves the Broadway shows and she loves music and loves movies and I would say something funny, she would always turn to me and the first time we met each other she was like, 'Have you seen this movie Bailee?' And I'd be like 'No' and she would be like 'How about this song?' And I'd be like 'No' and she would turn to my mom and be like 'What are you doing to this child!?' So I'd wake up the next morning in my hotel room and I had like these stacks of DVDs and movies and music!

TWIST: What charities are you involved with and how has it impacted you?
BM: I am involved with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, which does pediatric research for childhood cancer. The way that its impacted me, I would say is that we are all so healthy and all so blessed to be healthy and the families that I get to meet while having lemonade stands and raising money; being able to hear their stories and see how strong they are and what they go through is amazing. It's truly the entire family that's impacted. It's not just the daughter that's going through it, it's the siblings and mothers and fathers, so they inspire me everyday and I've been impacted in that manner because I'm so blessed to be able to be healthy and if I can do anything to help them it's so rewarding!

TWIST: What are three things you can't survive the day without?
BM: I would probably say Vaseline for my lips because my lips get really dry super quickly. Nail polish remover because I'm always painting my nails; the nail polish always comes off and I always need to have backup nail polish remover. And then third, I would say just water. I always have a bottle of water by my side. My mom is a water fanatic. She has gallons of water that she drinks a day so I'm trying to keep up with her and drink lots of water to stay hydrated.

TWIST: Do you have any upcoming projects your working on?
BM: I do. Sadly I can't share them yet but I promise you that TWIST will be the first to know!

TWIST: Thanks for chatting with us.
BM: Oh thank you so much I love you guys.
