" Who says you can&amp;#039;t hit the stage this summer just like your fave artists? With a little creativity and the help of a video game like Band Hero - you can! It lets you and your pals rise to stardom by playing drums, guitar, and singing just like Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. Band Hero was practically invented to give you an excuse to throw a party this summer. Check out these ideas to rock out with your friends at a bash you won&amp;#039;t forget! Put on a Real Show - Don&amp;#039;t just sing the songs - act the part! Take style cues from your favorite singers and have a super fun photo shoot before you play the game. Take turns posing for the paparazzi and then upload the snapshots onto your favorite social networking site. On Twitter? You can even try sending the pics straight to Miss Lovato herself! Battle of the Pop Stars - Grab three of your closest pals and choose to rep Team Selena, Demi, Miley Cyrus, or Taylor Swift. Head to the local crafts store and buy plain tees and puff paint and make your own team shirt to show your spirit. Doodle your favorite lyrics or song titles on the shirt. Once you&amp;#039;re ready, it&amp;#039;s time for a musical showdown! Will you play &amp;quot;Fallin&amp;#039; Down&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Here We Go Again&amp;quot;? Bake Scrumptious Sweets - You can satisfy your sweet tooth by preparing musical desserts and snacks for after your game! Purchase frosting gel to design a music note cake or draw a CD on top of a chocolate cupcake with sprinkles. Let this be your reward for an awesome show with the girls! Just don&amp;#039;t forget to share with your eager fans... Decorate the Party Room - From disco balls to inflatable instruments, creating a rock and roll atmosphere for your party will be a blast! To get super crafty, ask your mom and dad if they have any old vinyl records you can carefully hang on the walls for a vintage effect. Pick a Prize - The player with the highest score of the evening deserves something extra special, don&amp;#039;t you think? Have each girlie chip in for an extra special musical treat like an iTunes gift card or a CD from one of the pop stars you emulated. That way the winner can practice belting a terrific track before the next game! Consider these ideas before you plan your rockin&amp;#039; bash. Until then, check out this video for a glimpse of Band Hero and the Selena, Miley, and Demi characters!      And, don&amp;#039;t forget - Band Hero is available for the Xbox 360, PS3, PS2 and Wii console! Will you host a rockin&amp;#039; party this summer? What do you think of Band Hero?
