PEYTON TALKS ABOUT HER CHARACTER Peyton Elizabeth Lee spoke about what she admires about her character Lahela on the Disney+ series, Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. “One thing that I really grew to appreciate about Lahela is that she’s incredibly open to learning and to growing. Even as a genius, who is a prodigy doctor, she’s not shut down,” she said. “She doesn’t seem like, ‘Okay, I’ve learnt everything there is to know. I’m done.’ She’s very open to growing and to continuing to ask for help when she needs it.

TALENT TRIPPER I really want to be a singer when I’m older so when I heard our local club was holding a talent show for kids, I entered. I really wanted to wear a pair of ankle boots with my performance outfit but I didn’t own any and mum wouldn’t buy me a pair. My bestie said I could wear hers but they were a bit big. I figured I’d be okay as I wasn’t really going to be moving a lot, so I wore them. But while I was on stage singing I got really into my song and started moving around and my heel kind of came out of the boot and I tripped over my own feet! I got up and kept singing but it was so…

It does a very good job of it.” She continues,”There could have been something really pressing I had to do and I wouldn’t get it done because I’d be looking at someone else’s life! Or looking at nail designs or interior design sites or reading hours of news that made me actually feel bad about the world.” OMG! The low-down on text talk…

Animals Help! IS IT OKAY TO FEED CHEESE TO MY PET RAT? Only rats and mice in cartoons can be fed cheese. Cheese is too high in fat for rats and should not be included in their diet.

Don't give your rat lettuce though as it can cause diarrhoea. MEET MY PET! Dear It GiRL, This is my cat Simba at Christmas time. I put tinsel on his head and was surprised…
