  Livin' out Her Dreams

  Young, energetic and passionate Cassie Scerbo is on top of the world with the Slumber Party Girls (SPG). During the group's promotional tour in New York City, writer David Itzkoff of The New York Times chatted with Cassie and the rest of the girls about fame and being in SPG.

  The "preternaturally poised 16 year-old," as Itzhoff referred to Cassie, likes her Juicy Couture sweats coordinated with Versace sunglasses. Cassie's style's embodies her fun-loving, effervescent personality. "Since I was a little girl, I've always wanted to be a megastar, not just a superstar," Cassie said. Indeed, Cassie and her band mates all have a passion for performing. "I always say, there's people that want it really, really, really bad, and then there's people who just cannot live without it. That's me," said Cassie.

  A self-confessed tomboy with dreams of stardom, Cassie competed with 1,000 other girls to win her spot in the group. The requirement was that the girls had to be able to sing, dance and act - Cassie could do all three! After the audition process Cassie and the girls went on doing their own thing until they received that fateful call. Cassie actually received the good news while she was shopping at the mall.

  Soon after, Cassie, Mallory, Lina, Caroline and Karla convened in Hollywood to meet Geffen Records Chairman Ron Fair. "What we can do . . . is provide an age-appropriate yet really entertaining experience for kids that doesn't speak to them in Barney's voice. It's speaking to them in an adult, cool, hip voice that they can understand," said Fair about SPG. The girls went to work on a 13-track album they completed in four weeks. They appeared in the CBS morning show Dance Revolution and sang and danced their hearts out to millions of young viewers with their fun, contemporary high-energy style.

  When it comes to tech savvy teens and tweens, the SPG girls are everywhere. They're on TV, the Internet, iTunes and cell phones. SPG is a dream come true for Cassie and the girls. But Cassie's got the future in her mind, "I don't want to be one of those one-hit wonder stars. I want to have longevity," says Cassie. With their passions and ambitions in focus, Cassie and the girls are definitely living their dreams out loud.
