Brian seems moved. I think I may throw up.

"Ladies, as always, it's been a pleasure," he wraps up, and kisses Sky's hand.

"The pleasure is all mine, Brian," she calls out as I stride ahead of her towards my dressing room. Even that's a competition as we race each other down the hall. I reach my room first and slam the door. HA! I pull my Sidekick out of my new Gucci clutch and type a "to do" list.

Five: Off-Key Premiere

Off-Key is my first grown-up movie role and I'm really proud of it, especially since it's the first film I've done where I get above the title billing. (My name is above the title of the film on the poster, which is a spot reserved for the star. Totally exciting, right?) I play Mac Murdock's daughter and I get chills just thinking about my A-list costar. Even though he's much older, slightly weather-beaten and has, like, eight kids, Liz and I find him completely sexy -- as does the rest of the world! Anyway, in the movie, my character, Katherine, is kidnapped by Russian mobsters who are after Mac's (or should I say his character, Bo's) fat inheritance. Of course, Bo gets me back. The mob guys don't know that he's more than a famed piano prodigy; he's also highly trained in the art of Jitsu.

So with the Off-Key premiere being such a big deal, you'd think I'd have a really cute date to walk the red carpet with, right?

Not! When would I find the time to get one? I'm taking my usual escort tonight -- Lizzie. She's always on time, makes me laugh, and isn't obsessed with being interviewed by the media. That makes her more appealing than any boy I know (as of today, of course). And besides, I need Liz's support one-hundred percent when I spill my hiatus plans to my parents and Laney at the after-party.

Telling them is all I can think about as I sit across from Mom and Dad in the black Escalade limo that's driving us to the premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in West Hollywood.

"Let's go over tonight's itinerary," Nadine happily suggests to our group, which includes Matt, Liz, and Rodney. "Rodney and Kaitlin will step out of the limo first. Laney will be waiting at the edge of the red carpet to take Kaitlin through the press line. We've already cleared Access Hollywood and Celeb Insider for interviews."

I nod and play with the pleats on the bottom of my '50s-style silver halter dress. The gown is beautiful, but a tad itchy. As I squirm, the sound echoes through the quiet, tinted-glass cabin.
