Paxton rivals teen queens
BY JOHN ROGERS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — With a popular TV series, a clothing line, an upcoming film and a debut CD, its been suggested that Sara Paxton could be crowding Hilary Duff for the title of pop culture teen queen.
But Paxton is too busy to concern herself with such who's-in-and-who's-out speculation. Back in her hometown recently to shoot a video for her album, the perky 17-year-old is trying to figure out how to balance a senior year of high school in Los Angeles with her Canadian-based TV show, "Darcy's Wild Life." The show airs at 6:30 p.m. Mondays on the Discovery Kids cable channel.
She's casually dressed in a gray pullover shirt, blue jeans and open-toed shoes as she sits for an interview in her publicist's office. Also present are "Darcy" creator Stan Rogow and Paxton's father, Steve.
She could be wearing something from her new "Darcy's" line of casual Western wear — "if I could fit into it," she says, sounding just mildly exasperated.
The clothes are being marketed for preteen and younger teenage girls, who make up the core of Paxton's fan base.

Friday, Oct. 7, 2005:
Often, you might want to explore and question what is going on around you. Do so, and take nothing and no one for granted. Sometimes co-workers or associates surprise you. For your well-being, you need to learn how to handle tension and how to change this year. You could be stressed out often. Accept new technology and don't fight it. If you are single, you could be gooey-eyed over someone before you know it. Realize that you might not be seeing the whole of this person. A romance might be very special. If you are attached, your first child could play an important role in your year. Also learn to communicate on an even deeper level with each other. SAGIT-TARIUS is always cheerful with you.
