Boyce says it’s important to use the network’s current hits as promotional tools for its up-and-coming ones, a tactic she used to launch Epitome’s latest series, Instant Star. A two-episode preview of the series, about a teenaged girl who wins an Idol-type contest, drew an average audience of over one million viewers when it aired directly after Idol’s season two finale, and series star Alexz Johnson made an appearance on Idol to introduce the show. Instant Star’s regular season begins Jan. 23.

I got this email (joe@alexzworld.com) from Haley, a faithful Instant Star/Alexz fan. I thought it was amazing.

It’s a very depressing matter. One year and two days ago, Instant Star ended. The finale “London Calling” was the last episode. This is a horrible recognition. Alexz, Tim, Cory, Tyler, Laura, Wes, Miku, and the rest of the amazing cast that has been together since 2004 are now working on other projects. Alexz on a solo album and on a new movie. Cory and Tyler are continuing there music careers and Laura may return to Smallville. Instant Star has touched the lives of many people. The music brought into our lives will not be forgotten. June 26th was a horrible, horrible day for many people. May this show rest in peace, and in the hearts of millions and millions of fans.
Sincerly,
Unsettled viewer who thinks Season Five is a good idea and that Jude and Tommy should have gotten married like Tommy wanted, and this Unsettled viewer knows Jude wanted it too. THEY WERE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER !!!!!!

Thank you Haley for forwarding me [and others] this, it was truly beautiful.

Also! AW and Alexz-Johnson.fr have some amazing news coming up! Stay tuned:P

Hey guys! Captures from the Lose this Skin episode have been added to the gallery. There are more than 300 caps of only Alexz!

Of course the sad part of last year was that we were not shooting Instant Star any more. I’ve been looking again at some of the Instant Star episodes, and I am just so proud of them. It was one of those rare combinations of an incredible cast, wonderful writers, and great music.

But one thing we can all look forward to is the release of Alexz Johnson’s first solo album sometime next year, probably in the Spring. Alexz is so eager to get the album out to the fans. And rightly so.. it’s one of those albums you can listen to again and again and again. On first listen it’s breathtakingly beautiful–and then as you listen more it just keeps getting better!!!

As a final note, I get a lot of emails with questions about the release of CD’s and DVD’s.

As for Instant Star, I am hopeful that we will have the Seasons 3 and 4 DVDs, as well as the Greatest Hits soundtrack released sometime in the next few months. But with the series having been cancelled, it hasn’t been the priority for the distributors that some other projects have been–I’ll keep pushing though!
