“I WANTED MY CHARACTER GINA TO DO BOX BRAIDS BECAUSE ME AND A LOT OF MY FRIENDS WHO LOOK LIKE ME AND HAVE MY CURL PATTERN DO BOX BRAIDS IN THE SUMMER BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH EASIER TO MANAGE.” “Having a modelling contract has been something I've dreamt about ever since I was a little girl in my playroom dressing up and acting like I was walking the runway.” “I'll look back at videos on my iPad I had when I was six and there are these hour-long fashion videos I would put on for myself. I've always loved fashion.” “The most worn item in my closet is straight legged sweats from Brandy Melville. I now have probably six or seven of the same pants. I don't take them off.”…

Animals ALL ABOUT THE... Zebra ● Zebras are found in parts of Africa and can live in the wild for up to 25 years. ● No two sets of zebra stripes are the same. Zebras may even use stripe patterns to help them recognise each other. Pretty cool, huh? ● They have excellent vision and their night vision is believed to be as good as an owl. Wow! ● A baby zebra can run when it is just an hour old. ● Zebras are constantly on the move for fresh grass to eat and water to drink. They'll travel thousands of kilometres in search of green pastures to fill their bellies. Help! WHY HAS MY PET BUDGERIGAR STOPPED EATING FOOD? This could be a very serious problem for your little…

RIHANNA 5 fast facts! HER REAL NAME There is no stopping the one and only, Taylor Swift! The star has set yet another record in the music industry and this one is very, very cool. In October the 32-year-old singer was the only artist to hold every single spot in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. That’s right - a different song by Taylor Swift took up the first 10 spots on the charts. This is the very first time that an artist has ever done this. How utterly amazing is that? Taylor herself was in shock at this achievement. “10 out of 10 on the Hot 100??? On my 10th album??? I AM IN SHAMBLES,” she tweeted. Congrats, Tay! Rihanna's birth name is Robyn Rihanna…

Dealing WITH FAME Being young and suddenly becoming a name everyone knows can be really tough, but the pair are staying grounded and can rely on each other for support when things seem a bit crazy! “We really depend on each other when things get really nuts. You need to talk to someone that knows exactly what you’re going through and we have each other. So that’s really special,” Sadie shared. work BESTIES Mille was only 11-years-old when she played the part of Eleven in Stranger Things, and when Sadie joined for season two of the show, she was 14. Working on the set of a hugely popular show can seem like lots of fun, but it’s also hard work too! The girls were put together without knowing each other…

NORWAY There’s a quirky Norwegian tradition at Christmas time, where groups of people wander through the streets on December 25th wearing costumes and singing songs for people in exchange for festive foods and treats. This is called Julebukk, which translates to “Christmas Goat.” Why a goat? The groups usually take a goat along with them, or someone who does a funny impression of one. Sometimes, when two people who are pretending to be goats meet, they have a play fight which is super funny to watch. peru The Peruvian people enjoy a feast on December 24th, which is also known as La Noche Buena (which is translated to “the Good Night”). Families usually attend a church service, and then go home to eat a big meal, open presents and celebrate…

CAMILA OVERCOMES HER FEAR It’s hard to believe that Camila Cabello used to be scared to dance in public, but it’s true! “To be honest I never used to dance when I was little,” confessed the star. “I would cry at all the holiday parties when people started dancing, but music has pulled it out of me. My grandma, who is really proud, thought I was a lost cause as far as dancing goes.” Wow! We’re so impressed that Camila was able to beat her fear and become the star she is today. ZENDAYA TAKES A CHANCE Zendaya recalls a time when she did something daring at an audition. “It was one of my first jobs and all these kids could do crazy things,” remembers the star. “They…
