Oh, the drama queens. We all knew them. And even though we've left high school, they're still around with their woes and rants. But I've never know a drama queen as ridiculous as played by LiLo in Disney's 2006 Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, mourning her favourite band's breakup, following destiny through the streets of New York one rainy night, aching for the lead in the high school production as if it were the source of life. To top it all off, she's going through that mucky, confusing adolescent phase when everything is the most important thing in the world and parents are just out to make your life miserable and constricting.

In the film, our New York drama queen moves with her mom and younger twin sisters to Dellwood, a.k.a. Deadwood, New Jersey. How does one expect our destined-for-fame Lola Cep (Lindsay Lohan) to enchant the stages of Broadway living in the 'burbs of Jersey? Oh, the sheer torture. But of course, our young starlet must trudge on. She instantly becomes best friends with Ella (Alison Pill) through their shared mad fan-love for glam rock band Sidarthur. Just as her future is looking up, Carla (Megan Fox), the leader of the bitch clique, steps in to spoil the fun. The dueling ensues in the form of extravagant lies, PG disses and a DDR-like dance-off.
