recently married to Vivian, who is screwing his other
brother Adrian, who is a sex addict.
At the wedding, Charlie
meets George (Vivian’s cousin) and falls out of his
celibacy… only problem is –
George is married to
his high school sweetheart, Robin. The boys parents,
Felicia and Percy Petunia have
grown tired of each
other after twenty‐five years…and Felicia isn’ taking
getting older laying down…well,

Petunia) on the set
Sydnie
Dawson 8 yrs old of Manchester, TN was able to
donate 1,753 pounds of food to
Second Harvest
Food Bank.
Because of her donation, she got to meet Brad
Paisley. You may remember Sydnie, The last time we had
her on the show, she was one of the little zombies in
the movie Zombieland..She's currently in the process of
another movie. We'll let you know more about the movie
as soon as we can. We're very proud of our little movie
star.
The donation was made Feb 26, 2011 at Brad Paisley's
concert in Nashville.
From the Second
Harvest Food Bank Website Our
food drive competition at the Brad Paisley concert on
Saturday was a success! We had a huge showing of support
from all who participated and we are now able to provide
2,990 meals to Middle Tennesseans at risk of hunger
thanks to all of the generous donations.
Second Harvest, with the help of Brad Paisley and Live
Nation, held a food drive competition between Brad
Paisley fans outside the Bridgestone Arena before
Saturday’s concert. All together we raised 2371 pounds
of food and $285!
The winner of the food drive competition was Sydnie
Dawson, an eight-year-old from Manchester, Tenn. She won
premium tickets and backstage passes after bringing in
1753 pounds of food! She wanted to win the tickets
because Brad Paisley gave her one of his hats a few
weeks ago and she was determined to tell him ‘thank
you’.
Well Sydnie, all of us at Second Harvest say ‘thank you’
to you for your generous donation!

Interview
My name is:
Sydnie
Marie D
Q:Why and How did you get started in modeling?
ANS:
I was 3 and
in Montessori school. My Mom signed me up for AMTC and I
loved it. I've always loved being in front of a camera.
I love acting and modeling.
Q:Did you always want to be a model or was their
something else you wanted to
be or do?
ANS:
Yes, and also acting. I would like to be a doctor later
on in life.
Q:If you could give advice to girls who want to be
models and don't know how
to get started, what would be the most important thing
you would tell them?
ANS:
Follow your dreams they can come true and don't give up.
Q: Growing up were you the one teased and picked on and
why? Or were you
somehow always included in the crowd or left out and
why?
ANS: I
have always been blessed with great friends and been
included in the crowd.
Q:Please say one or two things about your ethics and
morals.
ANS:
I'm being brought up very well, with great morals.
Q: Where do you hope to be in 5 years?
ANS
I
In 10 movies!!!
Q:Add something to your interview here that we haven't
covered:
ANS:
I'm home
schooled and really like it. It gives me the chance to
travel and spend more time on modeling and acting. I
have my dog named Twitter that travels with me. She is
my side kick. I've been doing this since I was 3-1/2 yrs
old. I love it. I like to hula hoop, playing basketball,
riding my bike and hanging out with my friends and doing
things a 7-1/2 yr old likes to do.
I have
great parents who support me in helping me chase my
dreams. I've been in a couple of movies, done a
commercial, print work, interviews and have a lot of fun
just being me.
I look
forward to working with CoverGirl Model Mgmt and hoping
my dreams comes true.
