22.12.2005 ||ALYSON STONER MENTIONED
Era | + Posted at 7:14AM
As you all are aware by now, Cheaper by hte dozen was released yesterday, though sadly i don't get to watch until December 29th. :( Nevertheless, there have beeen dozens of reviews out and about and while they are mostly negative, howvwer, it doesn't dampen my spirits not my enthusiasm of watching the movie, for, alas, i'm watching the movie to see Alyson. And from some of the more positive reviews, her performance is worth a watch even if the film is not.
Here's a snippet of review by Roger Ebert on Alyson's Performance. Thanks Jets!
What I liked the most about the second "Dozen," however, was another performance, the one by Alyson Stoner as their daughter Sarah. As a girl poised on the first scary steps of adolescence, she finds the kind of vulnerability and shy hope that Reese Witherspoon projected in "The Man in the Moon" (1991), which contains a first kiss so sweet you remember it 15 years later.
Countering these predictabilities is the wonderful little subplot. For Sarah Baker and Eliot Murtaugh (Taylor Lautner), it's first love at first sight. This leads Sarah to experiment with makeup, because like all girls her age, she is convinced she is an ugly duckling.
God, 13 can be horrible. I remember as a high school freshman, standing around at the Tigers' Den teenage hangout in Urbana, cupping my hand to my mouth and checking to see if I had bad breath. At any given moment there would be half a dozen other kids also sniffing in dread and suspicion, all of us chewing Doublemint like crazy. If some girl had told us she didn't dance with boys who chewed gum, we would have gone home and wept ourselves to sleep.
Anyway, "Dozen 2" remembers that kind of suffering, and the way kids are super-sensitive. Any teasing, however slight, however kind, however well-meaning, comes as a crushing blow. Mom Baker (Hunt) sees what's happening, calls Sarah "sweetheart" and sympathizes, but what's especially touching is when Sarah's older sister Lorraine (Duff) takes her upstairs and expertly applies the right style of makeup for a girl that age -- which means, in effect, that when Sarah tremulously exposes herself to the family view, she looks absolutely lovely, and you really can't notice much makeup at all. I personally couldn't see any, but then I hardly notice makeup unless we're talking Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face in "Batman Forever."
Now isn't that just heartwarming to hear of our Alyson??? *grins* Anyways, for those who do live in a country where the movie is coming out, i hope you guys enjoy yourself AND the movie, and don't worry about all the negative reviews. It's a holiday movie, so it's supposed to be fun! Anyways, Happy Holidays to all!

Morning everyone! Today's updates are mostly screencaps that i've made from the new clips in the CBTD2 Official Site. There are three batches, since
those are the number of clips that Alyson was more prominent in. The screencaps are not that big, since i capped them

asking, or maybe crediting me for them would be nice. ^_^
On the site updates, i've been working on rearranging and recategorizing the gallery section, so that part
is still not yet completed, thus, if you do visit, some of the pages are still in a mess. I'm working on it as i type
this, so this might take a while. I'm trying to add new stuff in the site, so do keep checking back to see more
updates! And again, if you have any news or images tha you'd like to share, do send it in to me at alysonraestoner

On another note, sources have said that the movie will be approximately 93 minutes long! So that's good, since
that means we can enjoy our money worth of watching Alyson and the rest of the awesome cast on the big screen theatre!
I've also capped the first trailer with larger and a little clearer images of ALyson.

She really does look lovely doesn't she? *grins* I like her hairstyle, and even though ugg boots are kinda out of
style, she looks good wearing them! She always does, same like the pink ugg boots that she wear some time ago. Anyways,
i've got another truckload of images, but since people have already seen them, then no use uploading them again here.
=)
On another note, i've found a clip from the first Cheaper by the dozen movie which was a featurette regarding
the moon bounce sequence, where you can watch behind the scenes how they actually filmed the scene. It wasn't like the
one in the DVD, so this should be worth watching. ^_^

Noticed anything new? *grins* We've gotten a new layout! I made this holiday version since it's the holidays
now and Christmas is just a few weeks away. I hope this current look is fine, and the picture of Alyson above is
manipped, thus, you can't find that picture anywhere.
In addition, i've also signed on to a short domain name,
and you can now link to Refreshing at this URL :
http://www.refreshing-aly.2ya.com
The old url still works, it's just that you can also access the site at the new domain above. I hope there are
no pop-up ads, cos' i hate those annoying things. Freewebs doesn't have any pop-ups.
Anyways, i'll be continually updating the gallery, and the other pages which i'm slowly building it up. I don't
know when this site will be up, cos' i'm waiting for other high-quality alyson sites to be up and running before i
close this one down. On another note, if you have any new pictures or Alyson news, do send it to me at
alysonraestoner [at]gmail.com. Currently, the source of Alyson news mostly comes from AF.NET Forums and
some which i searched for myself.

10.12.2005 || ALYSON IN POPSTAR MAGAZINE + Exclusive Pic
Era + | +
Alyson
was featured in an article in the latest issue of Popstar magazine, with half a page dedicated entirely to her! Thanks
to Jets, we now have the transcript.
Break out stars of 2006
Alyson Stoner: the next Hilary!
Wherever
Alyson Stoner appears, she always steals the show--even amoung a billion costars in Cheaper by the Dozen 2!
"I've been really lucky to be asked to come back for the sequel!" Alyson tells Popstar exclusively. "It was
total chaos, but is was so awesome to see how we've grown after two years!" Her character has done a lot of growing,
transforming from a total tomboy into a more girly version of herself. "In this movie, I start liking boys, I'm not so
bratyty and it's like,'Uh-oh! What am I going to do? My hair doesn't look good!" She laughs. In real life, Alyson sees
herself in between. "I'm still a tomboy, I think, but i'm getting older and staring to feel all these weird feelings
about guys! It's defeinetly a mixture of everything. Still wanting to be cute, but I still like sports! It's just
confusing!" Alyson admits.
But one thing that isn't confusing is her successful career! In addition to her
recuring roles on Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and Mikes Super Short Show, Alyson does vocieovers
on Lilo and Stich and has an upcoming movie called Music High where she showcases her dancing! But she's no stranger to
dancing in front of the camera since she's appeared in three Missy Elliott's videos and Eminem's "Just Lose It!" "Hip-
hop's definitely the most fun! Acting and dancing are like the same process, just with moving your body or moving your
mouth!"
With acting, singing and dancing under her belt, what is this triple threat's ultimate goal? "I kind of
want to be Hilary Duff! I want to do her path because she's so amazing and she's so nice!" And we have no doubt she's
well on her way!"
If anyone of you have the scans from the magazine, do send it in to me at alysonraestoner (at) gmail.com. Thanks!
And thanks to TotallyScout.org, we have a never before seen pic of ALyson at the Young Star Awards show with
Scout herself!

else, she'll shut down her myspace account and then, we won't get to see her online. :(
I've got a few pictures of ALyson that i'd like to share. These were from her recent 12th year old birthday and please
do not take them and pose on your myspace or anything. You can look at them though. She looks more mature and she looks
