Melissa Joan Hart Visits TEEN BEAT!

Our very own celebrity advice columnist, Melissa Joan Hart, paid us a visit at TEEN BEAT so we could take some brand new photos of her and find out all about her new TV show (please turn to page 14 for full details) Here Melissa is pictured with TEEN BEAT's adorable Associate Editor Matt Rossman!

p.12 - "Melissa Explains It All in TEEN BEAT!" (her advice column) Includes three b&w pics of her (need I describe how beautiful she is? no? okay.) with... let's see... multiple earrings (only 3 visible), a black watch on her right wrist (assuming the photo's printed the right way 'round) and what _looks_ like another watch (metal band) on her left wrist; she also has a necklace with a little jingle-bell on it, and the same finger-ring scheme as in the recent "Kids' Choice Awards".

Address to write to Melissa:

         Madison Square Station

As with STOL, they say, "she's waiting to hear from you!" Lot's of letters about "I love him, but he doesn't know I exist" type things. Hmm. I wonder if they'd print a letter from someone who's in love with _Melissa_? :-P

p.14 - "Melissa Joan Hart Isn't Just Clarissa Anymore!" An article/interview about her roles in STTW and TD and other stuff. Some facts and quotes (her words):

* The STTW series will be shooting in L.A.
* The series will be different from the Showtime movie. "The series should be more fun, because it's based more on the comic strip."
* "'Clarissa' will run on Nickelodeon until the end of time."
* "I started going to college, but now I've got the ABC show."
* Question: "Are you going to move to L.A. now?" Answer: "No, I'll always stay in NY. I'm going to get an apartment in L.A. in the fall."
* "I used to dance a lot and I taught ballet to young kids for a while."
