How Alyson Stoner Navigated Kidnapping Plots Amid Child Stardom
Originally appeared on E! Online Is being a child star worth it? Let Alyson Stoner work it out. More than 20 years after appearing as that young dancer in Missy Elliott's "Work It" music video and launching an acting career, the performer—who has been open about their struggles with anxiety stemming from working in a high-stress environment—said they're now "able to hold multiple truths at once" about their complex relationship with Hollywood. Looking back at the "overnight success" they experienced during the early aughts, Alyson told E! News' Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview that they've come to realize "this cascade of opportunities actually ended up leading to a lot of different health issues." "We had no idea the short- and long-term consequences of being that visible, that young," the 32-year-old explained. "After that experience, I started dealing with things like kidnapping plots and managing stalkers, and all of these different health issues from workaholism and burnout." For the Cheaper By the Dozen alum, all those issues weren't "unpacked until decades later" in therapy. "What's become most important is to recognize that we cannot solely be measured by our productivity and our output," they noted. "We actually have to make sure that we understand we're whole humans." That's why Alyson went through a range of emotions detailing their childhood in their new memoir Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything, out now. While the writer still "feels warm" recounting their time working with Missy, they said putting pen to paper about their experience on the set of the 2008's Camp Rock was far more difficult. More from E! Online Did an Orca Really Kill Trainer Jessica Radcliffe? The Truth Behind the Viral Clip Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Flirty Banter in New Heights Clip is Enchanting Jennifer Aniston Makes Rare Comment on Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie "Love Triangle" For the Cheaper By the Dozen alum, all those issues weren't "unpacked until decades later" in therapy. "What's become most important is to recognize that we cannot solely be measured by our productivity and our output," they noted. "We actually have to make sure that we understand we're whole humans." That's why Alyson went through a range of emotions detailing their childhood in their new memoir Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything, out now. While the writer still "feels warm" recounting their time working with Missy, they said putting pen to paper about their experience on the set of the 2008's Camp Rock was far more difficult. "It was challenging," Alyson shared. "I do not wish this process of mining your psyche and heart then connecting it into 90,000 words for the whole world to read. I don't necessarily recommend that process to everyone, but I do wish for the liberation that's come with it." They continued, "I'm learning to practice acceptance that I cannot control the consequences of my honesty. What I can do is recognize that the truth is not always polite, but it still can be delivered with compassion and integrity." So, does that mean their former costars Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas, Kevin Jonas and Demi Lovato won't like what they wrote about the Disney Channel movie? Not necessarily. "I think the Jonases will enjoy the sections that I've included them in the book," Alyson said, adding that they had "touched base" with Demi while writing the book. "Thankfully, Demi has also been very vocal about her experiences, so I was able to build on that and share what it was like from my vantage point as all of these different events unfolded." They added, "We've been through a lot individually and together." Semi Well Adjusted Despite Literally Everything comes out Aug. 12. To see where the Camp Rock cast landed these days, keep reading...

Video: Four Dogs React to ‘Small Bite' in Wildly Different Ways
Every time you ask your furbaby to do something, chances are they will do the exact opposite and then get into an argument with you about the same as well. Want them to sit down? They will likely run away. Want them to behave? They will most definitely wreak havoc all over the house. This owner recorded a video of his four dogs' reactions when he asked them to take a 'small bite' of the cheese slice. Their responses? Wildly different and absolutely hilarious, so much so that you will surely be left in stitches. Owner shares four dogs' different reactions to 'small bite' in hilarious video You can always expect absolute chaos from your four-legged companion when a command involves food, especially if it is something they love to munch on. This owner documented his four dogs' drastically different reactions after asking them to take 'small bites' of some cheese slices in a video. It demonstrated the high-energy, rebellious nature of his Golden Retrievers, comparing it to the calm and composed, order-following behavior of his Huskies. The clip first showed the dog dad, Corey Moriarty, explaining to the first pup, Maverick the Golden, to take a small bite of the cheese slice. However, Mav inhaled the whole thing in just a few sniffs and didn't even seem guilty about it. Next in line was a very obedient Titan, who took the smallest bite possible to prove that he was the good boy everybody thought he was. Blue's reaction was quite similar, but upon further request, his dad had to give him the remaining cheese slice as a special treat. Lastly, the video showed the youngest of the four dogs, a Golden Retriever puppy, excitedly reacting to the 'small bite' command. Bauer greeted his dad and the slice of cheese with a big jump before gobbling down the treat all at once. He then went straight to the source, aiming for the pack of cheese slices lying on the counter. Bauer hurriedly ate as much as he could before his dad pulled him away and put him in 'air jail' as an adorable punishment that he willingly accepted.
