June 1, 2008 by Julie Bonner
Sources have told Perez Hilton that on Friday and Saturday there was a top-secret Vanity Fair photo shoot that included a couple of Disney stars. Who? Ashley Tisdale and Ben Barnes (who plays Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia).
The shoot was for their annual “Movies Rock” issue. It will hit the news stands in November. I can’t wait to see this issue!!
Thanks to Perez Hilton!

“The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” Cast in Melbourne, Australia
May 30, 2008 by Julie Bonner
The cast and crew from “The Chronicles of Narnia:Prince Caspian” were in Melbourne, Australia for a press event Tuesday evening. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I am hearing mixed reviews. It seems either people say it’s awesome and much better than the first one, or it didn’t live up to their expectations.
Did any of you see it and if so, what did you think? It brought in $55 million on its opening weekend.
Two more pictures of Ben Barnes and William Moseley below the cut.

Ben Barnes on Jimmy Kimmel
May 15, 2008 by Julie Bonner
Ben Barnes is continuing his talk show touring to promote this Friday’s theatrical release of “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian”. Last night he visited Jimmy Kimmel and he was just as cute and fun as he was on Jay Leno.
I have a feeling we will be seeing more of this guy. I would love to see him in a romantic comedy!
Ben Barnes, From The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian, on Jay Leno
May 14, 2008 by Julie Bonner
Ben Barnes, who plays Prince Caspian in the new Chronicles of Narnia movie, was on Jay Leno last night. Let me just say, he is a total cutie!! I could listen to him talk all day long. There is just something about that British accent.
He mentioned that this was the first time he had ever walked out onto anything with a live band and he liked it. They also talk about how he got started in Hollywood and how he got the part of a life guard being attacked by a shark. Unfortunately the film was never made. Poor Ben!
Ben said that he came to Los Angeles abut 2 weeks ago and he saw the giant 10 story billboard of “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” and he said that it’s only human to try to take a picture of yourself in front of one of your first billboards. He actually brought the picture with him to show Jay Leno and it was pretty funny. Hey, if MY face and MY movie was on a billboard, I would have been snapping pictures like crazy!
Jay asked Ben how he got the part in The Chronicles of Narnia and he said that he was doing a play and one of the casting directors came to see it and asked if he would like to audition for the part. Supposedly the directors had been looking for just the right person to play Prince Caspian for over a year. Ben mentioned he came into the process about 2 weeks before they needed to make the decision, so he said they were desperate at that point. Ah, Ben, you’re just being modest. You were perfect for the role and they knew it!!
I love the part in the interview where Jay asked him if he had ever ridden horses before and he said, “I might have suggested that I had…” He said he only stretched the truth a little. He HAD written a horse at age 6 on a Shetland pony, lol!
What a great interview and Ben Barnes is one delightful and handsome young man! Be sure to go see “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” on May 16th in theaters everywhere!!
