CS: If you could steal one thing from the L.O.L. Surprise! girls’ closet, what outfit would you want to wear forever?
EM: “Forever? Umm, probably Diva Geneva’s outfit from Episode 8!”
CS: The girls learn that being friends is even better than being rivals. What do you think makes someone a really good best friend?
EM: “I think what makes for a great best friend is someone who is kind, loyal, understanding, and is there for me when I need them. And, I love a bestie who is adventurous!”
CS: The big finale is all about the girls putting on an amazing surprise show! What was your favorite part of making the episode, and were you excited to see how everything turned out?
EM: “My favorite part about making the finale was the press conference where Stella P. has a big announcement. It was awesome to wear the giant fur coat — I felt so confident in that scene! I even got to improvise my own line, and was so glad to see it made the cut! I was so impressed with how the season finale turned out, and absolutely loved it! In fact, it may be my favorite episode of the series.”
CS: If the girls get to go on tour with Diva Geneva, where in the whole world would you want them to perform first?
EM: ” I would want them to perform at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and I’d hope Stella P. gets a VIP pass with a suite fit for a queen!”
CS: If The Next Headliner gets another season, what is one super-fun thing you would LOVE for your character to do?
EM: “I really hope we get a season 2 so that I can continue developing Stella P.! I would love for her to have an entire scene where she is at one of her mansions, sitting in her giant backyard by the pool, with a mocktail, and someone fanning her. I’d also love to have any character perform a song in an episode and showcase more of Stella P.’s world!”
CS: Since we are Celeb Secrets, what’s a fun behind the scenes secret from filming the show that we wouldn’t know just by watching it?
EM: “Something fun that happened behind the scenes was when the five main girls taught me one of their signature dances that they performed on the show. All the cast treated me like their little sister and I’ve made lifelong friendships! Many time, I’d eat with them, and get my hair and makeup done with them too! At the end of filming, I made every cast member a personalized card so that they never forget me.”
