Push Play Are Taking A Break

Long Island pop rockers Push Play made big announcement today. According to the band's record label, the group is "taking a break to pursue personal goals." Super sad news, we know.

Bassist Nick Deturris, guitarist Steve Scarola and drummer Derek Ries will be going to college, while lead singer CJ Baran will be pursing a solo side project. Push Play released their debut album, 'Found,' on September 29, 2009, and pal Emily Osment guest starred in their video for 'Midnight Romeo'.

A lot of times when a band says they're taking a break, they end up parting ways for good. But, calling it a "break" leaves room for a reunion, so fans shouldn't lose all hope.

Push Play has two performances scheduled this month, so you can catch them live one last time. The band will play at the School of Rock in New Jersey on February 13 and are scheduled to perform at the Pop-Con Music Festival with Justin Bieber on February 20.

Emily Osment and Push Play Answer Your Questions

Check out the video from when Emily Osment and the guys from Push Play (don't worry, CJ was there too) stopped by JSYK to answer your questions.

Emily just wrapped up her tour dates with Push Play, but the guys still have a bunch of appearances lined up. Click here for dates.

We didn't really have time for all 320 questions that were submitted, but we got through quite a few of them including what annoying habit CJ has (it's not that annoying) and what they think about their rapidly-expanding fanbase.

"It's really the coolest feeling to go to a show and, slowly but surely, every day see more and more faces show up," CJ said. "That's the best feeling ever."

Exclusive Music Premiere: 'Stay Here This Christmas' by Push Play!

Is it too early in the year for Christmas music? The guys from Push Play definitely don't think so.

Push Play are currently on tour after the release of their album, 'Found' and the band's BFF, Emily Osment is joining them on tour starting November 12! Click here for tour dates.

Care Bears On Fire on the Set of True Jackson, VP!

Care Bears on Fire has been in L.A. all week shooting an episode of True Jackson, VP with Keke Palmer, and the episode they'll appear in will air in March, 2010!

Though Sophie, Izzy and Jena got time off from school back in Brooklyn, N.Y. to attend the shoot, it certainly didn't mean they got time off from their schoolwork.

"School on set. trying to avoid my physics homework but its looking at me! aaaaaaah it's staring! HELP!" -
Sophie tweeted while out in L.A. A day later, she was hitting the books again. "Physics confuses me. good thing i have a six hour plane ride on sunday to figure it out!" Izzy, on the other hand, thought it was ironic that she was out of school in New York, only to be "n school on set in California! "funfun. starting school on set "- she tweeted from L.A.

CBOF are appearing in concert with Push Play on October 3rd in Los Angeles (that will be an awesome show), then they return home to Brooklyn on Sunday...where it's back to school as usual, bright and early Monday morning.



And could Justin Bieber be appearing on TJVP too? Check out this tweet Keke sent yesterday: "This week on TJVP we have a special guest star...hint Usher is a fan." Since Justin is Usher's protege...that's our guess!!


Celebs are in love with tweeting. What do YOU think about all their updates?
