teen beat tuesday: all-stars

this week i'm going to share with you the true essence of teen beatage: teen beat magazine. in this special issue from october 1991, we're treated to a sizzling batch of allstars set to the beat of red hot summer fun! obviously this is appropriate because i live in san francisco, the only city in the world that doesn't get summer until october, when most people are getting all chilled to the max. anyway, here is a list of the red hot fun summer teen beaters, along with an interesting (i think!) smattering of fun/trivial facts about these dear people.

jason priestley: in 1991, he was not only a teen beat cover boy, but also one of people magazine's 50 most beautiful people. he really is beautiful. but don't sing me that james blunt song or i'll die.
luke perry: ranked #6 in TV Guide's list of "TV's 25 greatest teen idols." also loves horses.
vanilla ice: real name is robert van winkle and can grow chin dreads.
tommy: who the eff is tommy? any one? EDIT! tommy puett is obviously a very hunky teen idol who pretty much ONLY appeard on life goes on. thanks to stephanie and google for all of the helpful information.
mark paul gosselaar: his middle hame is harry and he's a pieces.
alex winter aka bill s. preston, esq: (seriously check out that photo) both of his parents are modern dancers and he has a son named leroy.
keanu reeves aka ted logan (or mel gibson in that pic!): was arrested in la in may 1993 for drunk driving. also loves ballroom dancing.
paula abdul: spent her honeymoon with emilio estevez in winnepeg, manitoba canada and has an older sister named wendy.
jordan knight: made the 1990 issue of people magazine's 50 most beautiful people AND wore clear braces on his teeth for two years while in new kids on the block. quite a feat.
lastly, the party: i had to as colleen, my pop culture data base, who the eff they were since the caption next to their picture was all together too punny for me. anyway, she said, "the party is the band from the mickey mouse club. they had one song that went, my name is chase, i'm the redhead ace on the dancefloor." I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!

i'm probably going to get kicked out of the unibloggal crew for this one.
