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.

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...

Powys: The Goat Inn in Llanfair Caereinion is on sale
A 300-year-old pub and hotel in Powys is on the market for the first time in 40 years. The Goat Hotel, a 17th century inn in Llanfair Caereinion, is being sold with a freehold asking price of £380,000. The boutique family-run pub and hotel on the high street features a 25-seat restaurant and six letting bedrooms. For the past 40 years it has been owned and managed by Alyson and Richard, who have decided to sell the inn as they are ready to retire. Having considered selling the business 'for a while', they have partnered with specialist business property advisor Christie & Co to sell the hotel and pub. Alyson said: 'We have considered selling the inn for a while, but never quite taken the plunge. We felt Christie & Co was the obvious choice as an agent, as they have a good reputation in this sector.' James Dodd, business agent at Christie and Co, added: 'I'm excited to find a new owner for the Goat Hotel, a well-loved community inn which offers an array of options for a new owner to put their own stamp on it.' Describing the property and the history of the business within Llanfair, the property Christine & Co said: 'The Goat Hotel is a boutique family-run pub and hotel with a 25-seat restaurant and six letting bedrooms. 'The 17th century inn is located on the high street in Llanfair Caereinion, amidst a scenic backdrop of rolling hills and just a short distance to the River Banwy. 'For almost 300 years, The Goat Hotel has provided traditional Welsh hospitality on the routes between Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth for travellers. 'Beyond the restaurant, there is a casual drinks/dining area and a lounge bar with a roaring coal fire during the winter. 'The inn is known for offering delicious, home-cooked pub food and has an excellent reputation among locals and visiting tourists.'

Alyson Stoner On Decision To Remain Child-Free
As somebody who doesn't want kids, I can personally vouch for the fact that even in the year 2025 — and as the world literally falls apart around us — there is still a ton of societal pressure to procreate. And this is why I am so glad to see more and more celebrities use their platforms to open up about their decision to remain child-free in recent years. After all, while everybody from Chappell Roan to Seth Rogen may still face the online wrath of parents for speaking their truth, having famous faces represent the other side of this tired social expectation will, eventually, help to normalize it — and that can only be a good thing. In fact, former child star Alyson Stoner recently highlighted just how important it is for the decision to remain child-free to be normalized to the masses, with the now-31-year-old admitting that they genuinely worried that they were 'broken' as they grappled with the idea of not having kids when they were 20. In a new TikTok video, Alyson read an excerpt from the diary that they used to keep, prefacing the extract by explaining: 'I never once grew up desiring or picturing myself having kids. I do not desire to bear children from my body at all. This is a diary entry on worrying about not wanting children.' 'I had to be around age 19 or 20, I think,' they added before reciting: 'Sometimes I feel broken for not wanting children, as if I have some sort of biological defect for not wanting to propagate the species.' 'It's bittersweet when you meet someone on a date and this incompatibility presents itself and just prevents a free-fall into love,' Alyson went on. 'Suddenly, there are limits.' 'It's hard to read this,' the star then admitted. 'Because I know all of the messages I was receiving at that time was that having kids is life's highest purpose… I wanted to support families, like, as a member of the village, but I would wonder: 'Is that OK? Is that enough?'' 'And now, interestingly, so much of my life is dedicated to child advocacy,' Alyson continued. 'To protecting kids and supporting kids. I teach young ones all the time, and I absolutely love it.'They went on to add that they reflect on how they now feel about their decision to remain child-free in their upcoming memoir, Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything, which will be released next month. 'After I've deconstructed some of these cultural myths,' Alyson noted before concluding: 'Now I'm in this space where I get to more consciously design a path that feels true to who I feel like I am.'

Volpi initiated the play, Alyson got rid of Cacá, and Braithwaite completed with category (29'). The Alvinegro response didn't take long and came with Breno Bidon finishing from outside the area (36'). Only beautiful goals counted. Attempts The second half wasn't full of real goal opportunities. Advertisement Corinthians - already very depleted - had even more changes after the substitutions made by Dorival. Mano - who lost Kike Oliveira still in the 1st half - also worked. But nothing worked out. Grêmio got closer. Only without success. 📊 Table and schedule 📅 Grêmio and Corinthians reached 16 points in the BR table. See the updated standings here. Both will only play officially again in the second week of July. Grêmio will be a visitor against Cruzeiro. Corinthians will host Red Bull Bragantino.

Sarah Michelle Gellar calls Alyson Hannigan at 'crisis times'
Sarah Michelle Gellar is always "there emotionally" for Alyson Hannigan. The 48-year-old actress starred alongside Alyson, 51, on 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', the supernatural drama series, between 1997 and 2003, and Sarah has explained how their friendship has survived more than 30 years. The actress - who has Charlotte, 15, and Rocky, 12, with husband Freddie Prinze Jr - told Us Weekly: "Moms understand that friendship doesn't mean I have to call you every single day. "There's never a crisis time in my life that there isn't a text from Alyson. I don't mean that in a bad way. That's how you maintain a friendship: by knowing the things that [matter]. "We don't miss birthdays. We don't miss the big ones. Those moments, that's why a friendship lasts a long period of time. It's not about being able to make the time every day or once a week to do an exercise class. It's about when you're on 'Dancing with the Stars', I couldn't be there in person. I want to be there emotionally, texting you after every episode, making sure people vote." Alyson actually married Alexis Denisof, her 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' co-star, in 2003. But the actress sought advice from Anthony Head, another former co-star, before she decided to pursue the romance. She shared: "I remember Anthony Head saying - because at this point Alexis was on [the spin-off] 'Angel' - and so it was so obvious that we needed to decide whether or not this was going to be something. "So I went to Tony and I was like, 'Should we go on a date?' He's like, 'Absolutely not. It will ruin your friendship. You guys are too good. Do not date him.' So on the big anniversaries, I'm like, 'Hey Tony, thanks for the advice.'" Sarah, for her part, wasn't too surprised that Alyson married their 'Buffy' co-star. The actress said: "Do you know this has happened to me numerous times? Because there was also another girl that had a similar, very hard crush on someone that I watched. It was Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. "And I watched Kelly the day that she met Mark, and she came running and she's like, 'there is the hottest guy.' And he was like, 'No, not where I work.' So, usually, I know how that ends."
