The DC Journal
Read what the press writes about David, Katie and Shaun.

From Elvis’ pelvis to J.Lo’s backside, pop stars have always been known for more than just their ability to carry a tune. 100 Sexiest Artists celebrates the musicians who get us hot under... VH1 has voted David Cassidy as the 98th sexiest pop star of all times.


From Patrick Cassidy's Official Website:
Patrick just completed filming an episode of "The Agency". He will play the role of a fundraiser for the IRA. He said it was great, but doesn't know what date this season it will air. So keep an eye on the show's episode previews.

Also from Patrick's website: Barring a TV pilot show or a bigger project, Patrick will be appearing in “She Loves Me” for the Reprise! series at Freud Playhouse on the UCLA campus March 18-30 2003. Reprise! specially requested Patrick to play “Steven Kodaly” - the same role his father Jack won a Tony Award for! It will be a very sentimental role for Patrick to play, but one he is looking forward to if he is able to do it. 

This is a message from the The Official Ryan Cassidy Fan Website: Ryan wants to thank everyone for their support of Hollywood CPR.  We have received a number of responses from you and we're working on a special way to thank those of you who become involved!  Ryan works for Hollywood CPR, running its prop house and will eventually teach.  The organization trains disadvantaged kids to work behind the scenes in the entertainment industry and helps them get started.  If you live in the Los Angeles area, they are always looking for donations to the prop house - basically anything you would donate to Salvation Army or Goodwill.  If you have anything at home  - or if you can get your place of employment to donate, it would be greatly appreciated!  When the prop house loans items to TV and movie sets, the proceeds go to fund the school.  Whatever they can't use in the prop house is auctioned on ebay with the proceeds going to the school as well!  Also, financial donations are always appreciated and go towards materials needed for the various classes! PLEASE DONATE!  They need our help and every donation is tax deductible!  Please let me know if you are interested and I will help you with the details!  Ryan truly appreciates our help and support in his new job!  Hope to hear from all of you!

Premieres Sunday, November 24th
Katie Cassidy's star is continuing to shine. She has been selected as the featured artist in the upcoming VH-1 documentary, Bubblegum Babylon.

The title was changed from "Pop Rocks" much to Katie's chagrin. Ironically, "bubblegum music" is EXACTLY what Katie does not want to do!

However, the producers of the program wanted to spotlight an emerging talent, and they found their star in Katie. Katie was followed for the past 8 months as her musical career progressed. In the 2 hour special, which will be aired daily, Katies career emerges through the eyes of the camera.

VH1 continued it's coverage on Katie through October.  (see also below)

Katie has recently been writing and recording with a well known writer-producer, who has come in from Europe. They are working with Katie creating her new image and sound that she prefers.

Coming in January
Katie's first dramatic role in a television series. Katie has filmed an 
upcoming guestrole in a primetime drama series. Check back for details.
