" Phew! It&amp;#039;s been 14 days straight packed with amazing celeb stories that I hardly know where to begin. Two weeks ago, it kicked off with the Bamboozle Festival, where we hung out with bands like The Academy Is..., Gym Class Heroes, The Hush Sound, The CAB, and Cobra Starship. (Click here to check out our exclusive pics.) Then I hopped on a plane to Vancouver to the set of Diablo Cody&amp;#039;s new movie  Jennifer&amp;#039;s Body, and got a peek at some totally cool and creepy scenes... and got super inspired by Diablo&amp;#039;s cool spirit and attitude. And then it was back to New York for a United Cerebral Palsy charity luncheon where I sat next to Gossip Girl star Connor Paolo. I also went to The CW&amp;#039;s Upfronts presentation where Maroon 5 rocked the party while the casts of Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, 90210, Surviving the Filthy Rich, and America&amp;#039;s Next Top Model were milling about. And every day, we had bands and actors dropping by our offices... like Phantom Planet, Metro Station, Summer Glau, Quddus, Ferras, and new 90210 hottie Ryan Eggold. How do you top all that off? In only a way that Z100 knows how with their annual Zootopia concert. It was the tenth time I&amp;#039;d been to one of their shows, but each time it just seems to be more star-packed than the next.  The moment we got there, we ran into the On3 Productions Gift Lounge suite where we met up with the Danity Kane girls who were so excited about sharing the bill with New Kids on the Block that they did rendition of &amp;quot;Right Stuff&amp;quot; just for us.  Next we followed Simple Plan as they &amp;quot;shopped&amp;quot; around the gift lounge. Drummer Chuck Comeau picked the blonde Bratz doll and joked, &amp;quot;I wish life was like that-I want this one.&amp;quot; Bassist David Desrosiers spun The Box Girls Box of Questions&amp;#039; Truth or Dare wheel and revealed his &amp;quot;special&amp;quot; talent of being able to squirt saliva when he yawns. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll squirt on the guys sometimes and they hate it!&amp;quot; Um, ew?! We caught lead singer Pierre Bouvier just as he was walking away with a Bose Sound Dock iPod speaker from J&amp;amp;amp;R Music &amp;amp;amp; Computer World. He admitted he&amp;#039;s got Britney Spears&amp;#039;s new album on his iPod and burst into the verse of &amp;quot;Piece of Me.&amp;quot; Guitarist Sebastien Lefebvre scored IZOD Fragrance for Men and as he was signing a shirt for them, referenced the doodles he did for his CosmoGIRL Making Good cap (click here if you haven&amp;#039;t seen the video). Guitarist Jeff Stinco was thrilled to be getting a BlackBerry The Next Generation Blackberry Pearl 8120 from T-Mobile because he recently dropped his and it broke-oops! And he loved that it autocorrected his spelling, so no more typos, Jeff! David snuck in and said the whole band uses Blackberry Messengers... hey guys, so do we, so ping us already! Simple Plan weren&amp;#039;t the only ones scoring goodies backstage. Everyone from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers to the New Kids on the Block and Jesse McCartney also went home with stuffed like Black &amp;amp;amp; Blue Men&amp;#039;s Stainless &amp;amp;amp; Diamond Jewelry, Humane Society of US &amp;quot;Club Sandwiches Not Seals&amp;quot; T-shirts, iRobot Roomba, Nyovee Handcrafted Leather Accessories, and tons of stuff from Clean &amp;amp;amp; Clear and Colgate-Palmolive.   --&amp;amp;gt; From there, it was one star after another. Donnie Klang from Making the Band gave us the scoop on his debut album, which comes out August 19. The Jonas Brothers were on a super tight schedule when they walked into the On3 Gift Lounge. Even though they were told they didn&amp;#039;t have time to talk to us, that didn&amp;#039;t stop them from going out of their way to say &amp;quot;Hi&amp;quot; when they spotted us. Nick Jonas even ran over with a quick hug (aww!)  We then caught up with Trace Cyrus and Mason Musso from Metro Station and they talked about being big bros to their Hannah Montana siblings. Trace said it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;crazy&amp;quot; the criticism he sees Miley dealing with, but &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s part of being in the public eye. Any publicity is good publicity. She&amp;#039;s handling it well.&amp;quot; Mason said he is protective of Mitchel, but &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s definitely doing his own this. It&amp;#039;s cool.&amp;quot; Long Island band Push Play then took us into their dressing room that they were sharing with Flyleaf and Metro Station. Sure enough, halfway through our interview, Flyleaf guitarist Sameer Bhattacharya came in and not long after Metro Station&amp;#039;s Trace and Mason. So we got all three bands together and had them interview each other. (As you can see in this pic, I was pretty stoked- ha!) After that, we stationed ourselves in a press room where we gabbed with Gavin DeGraw, OneRepublic (lead singer Ryan Tedder got hurt and being pushed around by his bandmates in a wheelchair-what a sport!), and choreographer Laurianne Gibson. The New Kids on the Block were all smiles and hellos when they walked past us. And we capped off the evening with Jesse McCartney (um, how much do you love his new song &amp;quot;Leavin&amp;#039;&amp;quot;?) who dished on his childhood obsession of giraffes and joked he had his baby rubber giraffe from his childhood with him in his dressing room.  Before you get too jealous...of course we caught every minute of this on video for you guys. Stay tuned to cosmogirl.com for our exclusive CosmoGIRL Z100 Zootopia video. Finally, we caught the end of the show and saw Jesse win over the IZOD Center with songs both new and old (&amp;quot;Beautiful Soul&amp;quot;), and finally Trace came out to introduce his lil&amp;#039; sister who headlined the night. By the time Miley Cyrus closed with &amp;quot;See You Again,&amp;quot; it was one big karaoke session in East Rutherford, New Jersey (I admit I was belting out right along to &amp;quot;My best friend Lesley says she&amp;#039;s just being Miley!&amp;quot;). May&amp;#039;s always an exciting month in the NYC world of entertainment, but this year has surely topped the rest already!   Who are your faves in this bunch? Let us know and I&amp;#039;ll dish more!   Can&amp;#039;t wait to hear from you! Rachel Entertainment Editor "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
