Former American Idol heartthrob Ace Young prepares for his Broadway debut in the musical Grease at New York City’s Brooks Atkinson Theatre on Thursday, September 11.

In the Tony-nominated revival, the 27-year-old star will step into the role of Kenickie, best buddy to the male lead, Danny Zuko, through Jan. 18, 2009.

American Idol winner Taylor Hicks has been playing the role of Teen Angel since June and had his final performance earlier this week.

Two of the age-eligible Jonas Brothers, Kevin and Joe, recently registered to vote thanks to newlywed Ellen DeGeneres and Declare Yourself.

The 50-year-old talk show host finds this election to be hugely important and she’s committed to a partnership with Declare Yourself during the month of September, where they’ll be registering people at show tapings.

On the day they taped the fall premiere, Kevin, 20, and Joe, 19, were two of the first voter registrants. Ellen will make the official announcement on her show tomorrow, so tune in!

CELEBRITY HAIR AFFAIR

Gossip Girl cutie Taylor Momsen, aka Jenny Humphrey, has gone from long and wavy locks to short and cute to rocker chic. Now the 15-year-old actress has been sporting an 80’s-inspired haircut and rough-and-tough bangs.

Why the sudden rocker chick look?

“The new look was precipitated by her character’s evolution,” a source close to the 15-year-old actress tells JustJared.com. “But Taylor is also personally enjoying the change.”

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera covers the October 2008 issue of Seventeen, which hits newsstands on September 16th. Here are some interview highlights:

On being friends with Sisterhood costars Blake Lively, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel: “One of the most wonderful experiences I’ve had with girl relationships was working with them on Sisterhood. I’d worked with other girls before and it was pretty catty. But this time, I thought, I don’t want to feel judged or defensive. So before we started shooting, I was like, I’m just going to show up to work and be professional – not their best friend. But a couple of weeks into shooting, Amber and I started talking. She’s a hippie and I thought we had nothing in common – and now she’s one of my closest friends!”

On Gossip Girl being a bad influence: “Close, genuine female relationships are not what generally gets depicted in movies and TV shows. Like, if you’re watching The Hills or 90210, all the backstabbing shapes the way we act – you go to school, and you think your job is to find a sworn enemy and be jealous of each other. I mean, I love Blake [Lively]; she’s a wonderful friend of mine, but shows like Gossip Girl kind of condition us to be mean.”
