Alexa Vega filed for divorce from her husband of a little over a year about two weeks ago, and looks like she already washed him right out of her hair. Before you freak and think the Spy Kid really shaved her head for real, it was just her wearing a skull cap for Repo! The Genetic Opera. Even bald she still looks gorgeous, too bad that movie was as ugly as she is beautiful.
Alexa Vega has reportedly split from her husband of less than two years according to Life & Style. A source told the magazine that Sean Covel and her are no longer living together. The source added, “They got married young, and things just weren’t working out between them. Alexa has moved back into her family’s home in Hollywood.”
The two met nine years ago but didn’t start dating until three years after that when they were working on a movie together in Australia according to Black Hills Bride. They were engaged for year before marrying on 10/10/10.
ABC Family’s Ruby & the Rockits really is a fun set to be on, not only because all 4 of the Cassidy brothers are working on it but also because the kids on the show know how to play a good prank or two on each other! Alexa Vega might be playing the cousin of Austin Butler and Kurt Doss, who are playing brothers but really these three are more like siblings than co-stars.
I recently did a set visit and the three of them told us about the practical jokes that happen when the camera is off. Here are the pranks that they played on each other and see how they don’t know who did what to who.
Austin’s cereal… Austin: So I was having to eat Cap’n Crunch in the scene, and I left for a second, and they filled it with salt. I didn’t want to eat it because it’s soggy and I don’t like soggy cereal, and then they were like, “Oh, no, it’s really good. Cap’n Crunch is really good soggy.” So I was like, “Okay, I’ll try it.” And so not only was it soggy, it was salty like crazy. So it was terrible. Alexa: We were in the middle of shooting a scene a couple weeks ago, and we’re supposed to be eating breakfast at the table, and I was like, “Hey, Kurt, watch this.” And I totally unscrewed the salt lid, and I’m like pouring salt all over Austin’s cereal. And that was probably a bad idea because it suddenly unlocked this thing in his mind that that’s okay. “I didn’t know we could do that.” I was like, “Oh shoot, I probably shouldn’t have done that because we’re going to get in trouble now.”
The bra on Austin’s door… Kurt: Well, I found a bra inside our dressing room. It’s like just right around this corner before we get to the stage. And I picked it up and I thought, “This will be—this gives me ideas.†So, I tape it to his door. And I wrote a note on the bra when I taped it. And it said, “Wardrobe said you dropped this. Your loving brother Ben.†I asked Alexa to take a look at it. She thought it was funny. It turns out it was her bra, so twice the funny. He’s going to be the jokester. He thinks he can retaliate, but no.
How Austin and Alexa protect themselves against little Kurt: Austin: Last Friday, while we were doing the show, the audience was here, we had one scene in between our scenes that we were going to be in, and I saw him walking with this group of keys. And he had been warning me all day that he was going to get me. And I was like, “Oh, this can’t be good.” So I went to my room, and I hid in my bathroom. And sure enough, five minutes later him and four guys came in there, and Kurt’s like, “Oh, here’s the plan. We’re going to put all his furniture in the middle of the room.” And then they had this huge thing of Saran Wrap, and I came out and I screamed at him. And he’s like, “Oh. You got me.” So yeah. He was going to Saran Wrap all my furniture together. Alexa: And my boyfriend shows up on set the next Friday after he heard about all these jokes going on, and Kurt was planning on playing another joke on Austin. And my boyfriend walks up to him, and he’s a producer, and he goes, “Listen, Kurt, I’m going to say this once. I know where to find 300 live tarantulas. Don’t think about messing with Alexa’s room. That’s all I’m saying.” And Kurt’s just like, “Yes sir,” and walk away. But yeah, I was just like what if he gets me? I don’t want to get messed with. I just want to be the one that helps him out. So we have a couple cool ideas that we’re going to try on poor Austin. He’s like the poor guy that gets picked on. But I’m sure I’ll end up getting hit one of these days.
Souds like Austin needs to be just as afraid of Alexa as he is of Kurt.
BTW besides playing jokes on each other, these three actors’ futures are really bright. Alexa Vega can sing and act and even though she has been doing this for a long time, she is still so sweet and respectful and unspoiled by Hollywood. Austin Butler is an up and coming teen idol as he should be because like Alexa he can sing and act, plus he has the hair that drives girls crazy. And then there is 13 year old Kurt Doss who is like the cutest thing ever. We all fell in love with this little man the second he started talking. He is funnier than most of the comedians that are 2, 3, 4 and 5 times his age.
Ruby and the Rockits is as fun to watch as it sounds like it to work on. So check it out tonight and every Tuesday night at 8:30p on ABC Family after 10 Things I Hate About You.
ABC Family has been striking gold with its new shows like The Secret Life of an American Teenager, Make It or Break It and 10 Things I Hate About You, and I think the best one is premiering tonight at 8:30p. Ruby & The Rockits is a family show that has someone and something for everyone in your household. It might be because this really is a family show. For the first time all 4 of the Cassidy brothers (David and Patrick star, Shaun created it and Ryan does set design) are working together and you don’t have to be of Cassidy blood to feel like part of the family and that is what I love about it so much.
Ruby & the Rockits is the story of ’80s rock star, David, who finds out one day he has a teenage daughter, Ruby. Not prepared to raise her on his own, he goes to his brother, who he used to sing with back in the day and now they don’t make sweet music together, to help him out. Patrick is now a successful business man and happily married father of two sons. Will he be willing to help his brother out and how will his family feel about have a new member? Being a family sitcom, they will work it out thanks to Ruby and Audie (Patrick’s wife and former-video vixen for them) who will work their magic to get these dueling brothers together and little by little they will do it in funny one liner ways! I can’t wait to see what other antics this non-traditional, but in ways traditional family get in to!!!
Ruby & The Rockits has a lot of true stories from the Cassidy family life in it like David having a daughter his brothers didn’t know about until one day he surprised them with Katie. It is little tales like this that make this show seem a little more realistic, and the humor is just such a bonus. Seriously I can’t get over how hysterical and likable it is. You would think because this show is on ABC Family that the humor would be all like G rated, but let me tell you there are some PG-13 laughs coming up in the future episodes.
Now when it comes to the cast, they are like a true family and I am not just talking about the two real life brothers. They sincerely have an amazing chemistry that takes some shows years to get. David Cassidy is perfect as the former-teen idol rocker and not just because he was one but because his timing and delivery is beyond perfect. He will have you cracking up so hard you might split your tight leather pants. Alexa Vega is so adorable as his daughter, not only can she can act but her voice is as beautiful as her. Patrick Cassidy is great as the former rocker, now perfect dad who longs for yesteryear. Katie Amber Keane really handles being the mom and the mediator between the two brothers well. Austin Butler, who plays the older son Jordan, is the current teen idol of the show and I wouldn’t be surprised if he is on all the teen mags soon because he is going to drive all the teen girls crazy with his looks, acting and singing. But he might have some competition from Kurt Doss, who plays his younger brother Ben, who is the cutest pre-teen boy out there in Hollywood. He will and should give the Jonas Brothers a run for their popularity. Seriously he is so freaking awwwdorable and funny you just are going to love him the second you hear him deliver one of his wisecracks on the show. It really is a dream cast and show that you will find yourself addicted to before the first commercial break!!! And I haven’t even mentioned the awesome ’80s flashback videos that everyone on the cast and crew love putting together. Here is a little tidbit, the clothes that David Cassidy is wearing in them is from his closet of that time and yes ladies he still fits into them!!!
Last week I did a set visit for this delightful show and later today, I will post what the 4 brothers told us about working together next week and following week I will tell you about the rest of non-Cassidy family cast!!! It was a lovely day to go with feel good show!
Please check out Ruby & The Rockits tonight and every Tuesday night at 8:30p for a show that everyone in your family will be able to love and enjoy!!!
