Hi girls, If there’s one thing we really don't like here at It GiRL, it’s bullying. Whether it’s picking on someone at school or bullying online, it’s totally uncool. We just don’t understand why anyone would go out of their way to make someone else feel sad or terrible about themselves. That's why this month we decided to put the beautiful Selena Gomez on our cover. The famous star has stood up to bullies online and we love her for it. You can read all about it on page 14 and remember, if you or someone you know is being bullied be sure to tell a teacher, parent or adult you trust. On a happier note, this month we introduce our new fitness guru, Lauren Brant! Every month Lauren will…

SABRINA WAS STARSTRUCK Sabrina Carpenter remembers being left speechless when she was 10 years old and met Miley Cyrus. “I was so shy which is not like me,” Sabrina remembers. “I couldn’t speak.” But, Sabrina thinks that if she met Miley today she would act much cooler. “I’m pretty calm on the outside now!” she explains, “I’m the same 10 year old on the inside though.” ARIANA’S MUM BECAME AN ACTRESS FOR HER Ariana Grande’s mum has always been super supportive of her daughter’s dream to be in show business. “When I was really young, I was cast in Annie, but my mum didn’t want to leave me at rehearsals alone,” Ariana remembers. “You weren’t allowed to have your parents there unless they were in the show. So my mum…

CINEMA TRIP I was at the movies with my friends and at the last minute decided I wanted popcorn. So I went to get popcorn while my friends went into the cinema. I was walking back to my seat when I kind of missed a step and ended up tripping and spilling my popcorn everywhere. It was so embarrassing. LUCILLE, 11, NSW SNOT FUNNY I was in class and I was just getting better from having a cold. The class was really quiet when my bestie drew something funny in my book. I was trying hard not to laugh so I wouldn’t make any noise and get into trouble, when suddenly snot came flying out of my nose. My bestie thought it was hilarious, but I was so embarrassed. In…

MY FAVE PIZZA TOPPING IS: “Jalapeños.” A WORD I SAY A LOT IS: “Literally.” MY WORST HABIT IS: “Oh, biting on my nails!” IF I WAS A CARTOON CHARACTER, I WOULD BE: “Blossom from The Powerpuff Girls. That was always my favourite cartoon and she was my fave Powerpuff Girl.” I AM CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH: “I love apples. Fuji apples are my favourite actually.” THE LAST THING I ATE WAS: “A Peanut Butter Bar.” THE PERSON I WOULD WANT TO PLAY ME IN A MOVIE ABOUT MY LIFE WOULD BE: “Oh, Emma Watson! I love her so much.” IF I HAD TO CHANGE MY NAME I WOULD CHANGE IT TO: “Brooke. I would keep it very similar to my real name.” MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ALWAYS TEASE ME FOR: “Being…

HI APRIL, CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF? I grew up in a country town in Western Australia and was always at either dancing or gymnastics classes. I joined my first circus when I was 15. The acts I perform now are unicycle adagio (where my duo partner Kyle rides the unicycle and lifts me up in the air), acrobatics and flying trapeze. DID YOU ALWAYS WANT TO END UP IN THE CIRCUS ARTS? I have always wanted to be in the circus. My parents would take me to watch them when I was little. I even wrote a story once saying that when I grew up I wanted to be an acrobat (I think I was six at the time). YOU HAVE MANY TALENTS! WHICH ONE…

ALL ABOUT THE... Zebra Finch Zebra Finches are found in the wild in over 90 percent of Australia. They are social birds, so should be kept in pairs. As they need lots of room, an aviary is a suitable home. They love to bathe, so give Zebra Finches a bird bath. They won't drink from the same water they bathe in, so always give them fresh water daily. A Zebra Finch may live for up to seven years. They like to eat seed and grit, and as a treat they love fruit and sprouts. "MY DOG IS A MALTESE CROSS AND SHE'S ONE-AND-A-HALF YEARS OLD. SHE HAS REALLY TERRIBLE BREATH AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. NOTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING - HELP ME PLEASE!" A common cause of…

LEGO JURASSIC WORLD (ALL FORMATS) The next movie series to get the Lego game treatment is hard to miss – it does star dinosaurs after all! The monstrous reptiles have been in three movies already, with a fourth stomping onto cinemas this winter. Each film provides five levels to this game, giving you 20 classic scenes to enjoy in Lego form. Like the previous Lego games, the developer likes to poke-fun at its source material, and thanks to the use of the same sound effects and voices that we saw in the film, it all feels spot on. Unlike the previous games, the focus isn’t so much on combat, and instead on puzzle solving and exploration as you try and survive against the big scaly beasts. Expect to find blocks…

She STANDS UP TO BULLIES Last year when Selena saw someone bullying one of her fans on her Instagram account, Selena had a choice: she could ignore the conversation, or she could stand up for what she believes in. Of course, Selena did the right thing. “My fans don’t do this to each other,” she commented to the bully. “That’s not what I stand for so you can gladly stop being a fan of me.” As if that wasn’t amazing enough, Selena even wrote to the girl who was being bullied. “My love, you are gorgeous just the way you are,” she wrote. But sadly Selena’s message didn’t get through to some people and just a couple of months ago, an internet troll wrote something mean to Selena herself! But…

Hey Maddie! Okay, we have to ask... what’s Miss Abby really like? “Everyone thinks Miss Abby is really mean in real life, but she’s really not. She takes us shopping and to the movies sometimes and she teaches us a lot of educational stuff outside of dance too. We are always learning.” What’s a typical day like for you? “I wake up early and go to my tutor’s house where I do schooling for about four hours. Then I go straight to dance for the rest of the day where we’re either filming or it’s just a normal day of dance. That’s usually how it goes. That’s pretty much what my life is like every day and I’m glad because I love it!” What is your favourite style of dance…

TELL US ABOUT THE SHOW… “I haven’t done a pantomime before and I’ve always wanted to. So when I was approached to play the role of Yasmina I was like, ‘YES! Lock me in! No one else can have that part, I’m Yasmina!’” WHO IS PLAYING ALADDIN? “Aladdin will be played by Mat Verevis who was a contestant on The Voice. I’ve actually met him a couple of times before through one of my friends in Hi-5. He has an amazing voice and is super talented.” WHAT IS A PANTOMIME? “They are shows that you know and love, in this case Aladdin, with a comedic twist set in modern times. It’s also very over the top and interactive with the audience. It’s a lot of fun!” IS IT A SHOW…
