Beverly Mitchell's Beauty Secrets Beverly Mitchell and Lance B 'N SYNC STAR TO MARRY 7TH HEAVEN BEAUTY (BEAUTY? SHE'S A DOG!!!) Neat Freak Beverley Mitchell What's in a name: "My friends call me Shmev. I also get called 'Little One' because I'm tiny. Oh, and my parents call me Monkey." Navel idea: "I recently got my belly button pierced, which really hurt! Not many people know about that. I really like it, though. It's cute." Tabloid talk: "The weirdest rumor I ever heard about myself was that I was engaged to Lance B from *NSync. I had my family calling up all pissed off, saying, 'Why didn't you tell us you were getting married?' It was all over the news, and I supposedly had already bought my Vera Wang wedding gown. I was like, 'Hello! I don't even have a boyfriend!''" Speak easy: "This semester in college, I'm taking a speech cl, which is a lot of fun. It's different from acting, because there's no camera and no script to follow." Useless talent: "My best friend and I love to make fish faces." People would be amazed to discover that I am: The best concert I ever went to was: If I could be president for one day, the first thing I'd do would be: If I could step into the shoes of any rock star for a day, it would be: I'm completely obsessed with: If we peeked in your fridge, we would find: ''Dreams really do come true,'' says Beverly. This optimistic dreamer sums up her life in one line and gives us a peek into her bathroom cabinet. My friends can always count on me to: The one-liner that best describes my life story so far goes something like: I never leave home without my: I am completely obsessed with: Out of all the characters on The WB I most identify with: If we peeked into your bathroom cabinet we would find: The acting business isn't always solid for Beverley Actually, the kids at school don't treat me any differently at all just because I'm on television. They don't point fingers or make comments. For the longest time, I was convinced that half the people at school had no idea who I was. I was so excited that people wanted to be friends with me because they thought I was cool - not because I was on TV. I loved being able to live on campus. I made so many everlasting friendships. I was sort of considered the "mom" of the dorm, because whenever people were upset or not feeling well, they came to me. If I knew someone was sad, I'd go to the grocery store and buy some roses, put them at their door, then knock and run. Living in the dorm was such a fun and rewarding experience because we were all in the same boat. It was like I finally had sisters. Yet as much as I loved living in the dorms, it was really stressful with my work schedule. I'd get up at 5:30 in the morning in order to be on the set by 6:30. In the dorms, it's obviously harder to sleep because everyone is so nocturnal. So it was really hard to get enough sleep. I was just burning my candle at both ends. Healthwise, I realized I needed to be somewhere where I could sleep without interruption, so this year, I live in my own house. It's not too far from campus. My friends from the dorm still come over, so I still have that same interaction. Still, it's tough trying to combine my acting career with my college career. I try to do my homework in the wee hours of the night after I get home from work. Last year, I had nine units, which is only one cl short of a full-time student. It was so incredibly challenging. Sometimes I would call my mom at midnight and say, "I just can't go on like this; it's too hard." It was my fault for pushing myself to the edge. For that reason, I'm taking an easier load this semester. Right now, I'm taking a speech cl, which is actually a lot of fun. You'd think it would be easy for me since I'm an actress, but it's actually quite different. There's no camera and no script. I basically have to write my own script. My next ignment is to make a sales presentation, so that's what I've been working on lately. Even though college has been hard, I don't want to give up. I think school is important, and it adds another dimension to my life. Plus, it's great getting to interact with kids my own age. I'm only 20 years old, and I need to act like it sometimes. So I go out with my friends, and we go to movies or dances or the occasional frat party. I actually wanted to join a sorority, but it wound up being impossible with my work schedule. Even so, I still manage to have a lot of fun. This year I was hanging out with my friends in the dorm, and we just started launching water balloons at people. We were running around the building throwing them out different windows and hiding in different corners of the building as if we were snipers. It was fun, but of course we got in so much trouble. If I had to give one piece of advice to incoming college freshmen, I'd say always be true to yourself. There are so many people who will try to push their opinions on you. The moment you let go of what you believe in, you're letting someone else take over. Be yourself, and if people don't accept you for who you are, then just walk away, because they're not worth it." Beverley Mitchell's new love The WB: Is he going to be on the show with you? The WB: Are you always so spontaneous? The WB: How so? The WB: What about Lucy? Is she changing along with you? The WB: Does this mean you're done with being "boy crazy"? The WB: That can't possibly be the case today, right? The WB: Does he ever worry about your 7th Heaven make-out scenes?
