Dream Street may have been short-lived, but the bond between the boy banders lives on.  More than a year after singer Chris Trousdale's death, fellow member Jesse McCartney spoke with E! News about the incredible loss and the nostalgia he feels about the group. "With Chris' passing, it was a terrible thing," he shares.

Fans have been anxiously awaiting the release of teen/family movie To The Beat! since the trailer was first released in July. The movie releases across multiple platforms on March 13, and it is worth the wait. The script is lighthearted, with relevant lessons about family, friends and following your dreams.
