| Posted: 01 Jun 2011 02:43 AM PDT EVER notice the sheer number of TV shows focused on young people these days? You're not the only one. It's hard not to be drawn into the fictional world of the young and the restless when it's just so darn entertaining. But there's more to the current crop of shows than the pretty faces, journey of self-discovery and tales of love and angst. For instance, Gossip Girl has characters that are always so gorgeously dressed, so much so that checking out what they are wearing is as much fun as tuning in for the latest drama. Glee, on the other hand, features a lovable cast of underdogs who express how they feel through music from a catalogue of songs, ranging from show tunes to Top 40 hits. With that in mind, Galaxie magazine takes a look at the top teen-centric shows on TV now in the June 1-15 issue, and that list includes The Vampire Diaries, 90210, Pretty Little Liars and iCarly. The cover story also has interviews with Big Time Rush, Lea Michele and Victoria Justice, all talking about their shows Big Time Rush, Glee and Victorious, respectively. The latest issue of Galaxie also sees Maroon 5 revelling in having their songs featured on Glee, Switchfoot finding it strange to fall under the rock gospel category of music and Johnny Depp revealing that Penelope Cruz taught him the raunchiest Spanish words. And as usual, Galaxie rounds up the juiciest goss from the East and the West and gives you the low-down on the latest movie and music releases. Galaxie, which is owned by Star Publications (M) Bhd, also has a presence online at galaxieblog.com.my, which is packed with celebrity news and views.
