Bombshell actress Sara Paxton is a California blonde with big heart and her feet firmly on the ground. From Sleepover in 2004 through "Summerland" on TV and playing a mermaid in Aquamarine and a critter-friendly gal out in the bush in "Darcy's Wild Life", Sara has kept her friendly, non-diva-ish attitude. Her love-to-hate-her role in Sydney White was a fun departure for this gal who usually plays the heroine. Now, this week, Sara plays Kirsten Dunst.... Well, not exactly. She is the dream girl living next door to a Superhero in the send-up spoof Superhero Movie. That super guy across the fence is cutie Drake Bell and their experiences on the movie sound like a laff riot.

We curled up for an interview on the phone with Sara recently and dished like best galpals on everything from her next project (a horror film shooting in South Africa) to her moviestar crush, maintaining friendships in Hollywood and, hey, what it is like to be a really gorgeous actress anyway? Is she sick of being typecast as tall, thin, blonde and a knock out? Her answer will surprise you. Read on...

TeenHollywood: In this movie, you play Jill and you are the superhero's next door neighbor, right?

Sara: Yes. I'm like the Kirsten Dunst character in Spider-Man.

TeenHollywood: Did you have to watch that movie again or try not to be too much like her?
