News from  KatieCassidy.org:
June: See Katie in "People magazine and watch Katie on "Inside Edition" and the "TV Guide Channel" in June! 

4/15/02: Katie Cassidy signed her recording contract with Artemis Records!
4/26/02: VH-1 began filming Katie for upcoming "Pop Rocks" documentary!

Katie Cassidy recently auditioned male dancers for her upcoming summer tour. She and choreographer, Frankie Ann, looked at about 150 dancers that showed up at "The Edge" in Hollywood on Friday 4/26. The competition was fierce, and filmed by VH1. They have narrowed it down and callbacks will be soon! 

In the first week of May, it was announced in 5 trade magazines that Katie had signed with Artemis Records. The 2 largest and well know magazines Billboard and Variety, both ran articles and photos announcing Katies new single "I 
Think I Love You". In addition, Network, Hip and Page 6 reported on Katies recording deal as well. For those of you following Katies rise to success, there was a misprint in Variety. There are plans for an album to follow. 

Katie Cassidy's star is indeed shining brightly these days. She has been selected as a featured artist in the upcoming 5-part VH-1 documentary Pop Rocks! The producers of the program wanted to spotlight an emerging talent, and they 
found their star in Katie. Film crews will follow Katie over the next couple of months, recording her in professional settings, like at the recording 
studio and rehearsing with her choreographer and back-up dancers, and at home studying and hanging out with her friends.

Pop Rocks, which will air on VH-1 in the Fall, will trace the creative process behind the evolution and marketing of forty years of teen music, and will include in-depth interviews with producers, songwriters and music business 
execs who make it all happen. Other featured performers (besides Katie) include Aaron Carter and Hanson. 

British singer Lynsey de Paul has done it. British actress Lesley Joseph has done it.
David Cassidy's band has done it. They have all signed the petition. Join us in supporting David's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by signing the petition.

HOLLYWOOD, California (Reuters) -- NBC is adding some all-new reruns to its summer schedule. Variety reports the network has ordered six new episodes of "The Rerun Show," a half-hour comedy that uses an ensemble troupe to re-create and spoof scenes from classic (or campy) sitcoms such as "The Facts of Life" or "The Partridge Family." It is set to air Tuesdays at 8:30 starting in mid-July. The cast is still being finalized. "Rerun," from NBC Studios and Sony's Columbia TriStar Domestic Television, will use the Sony library of sitcoms as the basis for scripts. While "Rerun" scenes will be shot tongue-in-cheek, "every word spoken will be as written in the original script," said Russ Krasnoff, president of programming and production at Columbia TriStar. "The costumes and actions will change, but not the words."
