Bow Wow barks up new trees
Not only is Lil Bow Wow about to release his second album, but he also will make his big screen debut this summer and launch his own clothing line called Bow Ware. Doggy Bag, Lil Bow Wow's followup to last year's Beware of the Dog, will be released Dec. 18. The 14-year-old (whose real name is Shad Gregory Moss) made it into the Guinness Book of World Records last year as the youngest solo rapper to hit No. 1 on the U.S. charts.
A gift from Nickelodeon
Nickelodeon presents a marathon viewing session this Saturday from 2 to 5:30 p.m. with a special lineup of holiday episodes of Rugrats, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Wild Thornberrys, As Told to Ginger, The Fairly OddParents and CatDog.
Book shares teens' feelings
You're not the only one who feels the way you do. Teen writers, artists and photographers share their stories in Teen Ink: Friends and Family (Health Communications, $12.95). The book focuses on the emotional peaks and valleys of teenagers' relationships. The creations were culled from more than 3,000 submissions to Teen Ink Magazine.
Rallying the troops online
The folks who publish the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, an annual review of toys, created a way for kids and their families to send letters and drawings online to members of the military serving overseas. Log on to www.youremyhero.org to participate.
Seeking a Santa successor
In The Santa Claus Brothers, a new Disney Channel animated holiday special, Santa wants to retire, but none of his three sons is up to the task of replacing him. Mom and Dad Claus develop a plan to send the boys out into the real world in the hope that one of them will discover the meaning of Christmas and become qualified to wear the red suit. The Santa Claus Brothers premieres at 8 p.m. Friday.
