Bella Thorne interview

Bella Thorne is starring in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Roadchip. Some might say she is playing a fictional version of herself.

The 18-year-old singer and actress got her start on the show Shake It Up opposite Zendaya on the Disney Channel, the birthplace of pop heavy hitters Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus.

The Disney Channel is also where Bella met boyfriend and fellow actor Gregg Sulkin.
