I just got off the phone with Selena Gomez and Joey King!

Wow!  What a great call!

During the interview Selena and Joey told me what the most daring thing they’ve ever done was, what Selena does in her downtime, and I learned when Selena’s next album is going to be released.
The girls were so sweet and took time to talk even though they are attending the Premios Juventud Awards Show in Miami tonight.  I will post some Q&A here as I transcribe them a bit later.

Joey King is the cutest thing.  I couldn’t help but to smile and giggle a lot during the interview as she’s so enthusiastic and energetic.

Selena Gomez and Joey King from Ramona and Beezus movie

Selena Gomez and Joey King Interview Q & A:

Q: What is your favorite thing to do in your down time?

Selena’s Answer:
I love my family.. being with my family. I like to hang out with my family and friends, have fun, and eat junk food.

Q: What is the most daring thing you’ve ever done?

Joey King’s answer:
“I went indoor skydiving!  It was so fun!”
Selena Gomez’s answer: “I think my job is pretty daring.  Don’t you think getting up on stage in front of thousands of people and performing is daring?”, she said.  As a matter of fact, I do!

Q: What was your favorite scene to film for Ramona and Beezus?

Both girls said that the ‘bedroom scene’ was their favorite. I guess you’ll have to see the movie to know what the bedroom scene is!

Q: Do you get nervous before going on stage?  How do you deal with nervous feelings?

Selena Gomez’s answer: “I get nervous all of the time.”  Selena’s Mom taught her to use the feeling of nervousness.  Selena likes to talk about her nervous feelings before a show or shoo
t.

Q: Is the movie based on one Ramona and Beezus book?

Both girls answered: The movie is based on key moments in 7 Ramona and Beezus books of which there are thousands.

More interview details coming soon.

Motorola MJ270R Two-Way Radio review and free designer faceplate offer

Two-way radios have been around for years but up until a few years ago I didn’t feel the need to own a two-way radio.  HOWEVER now, I can imagine not having two pairs of two-way radios.  I know what you’re thinking.. don’t you all have cell phones?   Yes, my husband and I have iPhones and my son (spoiled) has a Palm.  Oh, and my 4 year old has a very cute Barbie cell phone that she uses often.  But, I don’t want to use our phone minutes just to tell my son that it’s time to come inside for dinner or to call him home from a nearby friend’s house.  That’s when our Motorola two-way radios come in handy.

My dad bought my family our first pair of Motorola two-way radios about 5 years ago and now we take those and our new Motorola MJ270R two-way radios with us on camping trips, hikes, and most vacations.  We have two two-way radio charger stations in our front hallway.. that tells you how often we use them.   Motorola’s  MJ270R two-way radios are great to take to places like Disney World, Busch Gardens, the Zoo, and Great Wolf Lodge, where older kids are likely to want to go to a different area than the younger kids.

Motorola’s MJ270R two-way radios are the perfect emergency preparedness communication tool for outdoor enthusiasts and active families and include features like an emergency alert button, 11 weather channels with an alert feature and a built in flashlight.
Want to keep in touch with changing weather conditions during your family camping adventure? There’s no need to stop the fun.  Weather alerts will provide you with warnings of incoming storms or dangerous conditions. And, by tuning in to one of 7 NOAA channels (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) on your MJ270, you will always know what to pack with continuous local and regional weather broadcasting. When you are hiking up a steep mountain trail, you really need to keep your hands free to brace the rocky terrain.  With iVOX acting like a speakerphone and allowing hands-free communication, you can keep on moving without stopping to answer a call.

For just about $50 you are giving yourself the opportunity to save money on your cell phone bill, be prepared in the case of an emergency, and have quick access to your child’s whereabouts whether they’re in the backyard or at a nearby friends house.

Buy your family a pair of Motorola TalkAbout MJ270R 27-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radios here.

Take a look at Motorola’s full line of Two-Way Radios here on Motorola’s website.

Bonus.. get free designer faceplates for your two-way radios!

Purchase a pair of Motorola MR350, MR355R, MR356R and MJ270R Talkabout 2-way radios from a participating retailer by December 31, 2010 then go to www.talkaboutpromo.com and follow the instructions on the website. You will be asked to fill out the promo code provided on the pack to receive your choice of free designer faceplates (includes two faceplates).
