In Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, based upon the popular novels, Amber Tamblyn's character Tibby is at NYU, making more documentary student films, working in a movie rental store and shying away from any kind of commitment to friend/boyfriend Brian McBrian even thought things between them are streaming up. Amber told us that she had fun with Tibby's penchant for hiding behind wigs and strange outfits.

In New York, at a posh hotel on Park Avenue, we got to chat one-on-one with the multi-talented Amber who still writes poetry and short stories and runs her website rebelasylum.com to encourage exchanges and aid among young writers. We noticed Amber after a press conference with the other "Sisterhood" actresses, walking to the elevators with her arm protectively around castmate America Ferrera. In fact, we get a very sweet, earth mother, nurturing vibe from this warm, brainy and friendly young woman.

Wearing a patchwork Zac Posen dress in multi-shades of brown and tan and cute black flats, Amber entered a hotel suite alongside us while trying to finish up a cellphone conversation. We sit down for a great, personal chat...

Amber: That was Rachel Dratch. We did Spring Breakdown together and she's coming to the premiere tomorrow night.
