BIG MOVIE NEWS!

Disney has hired screenwriters to adapt I'D TELL YOU I LOVE YOU BUT THEN I'D HAVE TO KILL YOU into screenplay form!

This is huge!

Even though we're stilla long, long way from seeing my Gallagher Girls up on the big screen, every step we take is big progress because Disney doesn't spend money on screenwriters unless they're serious (or so I'm told.)

The writers are Nichole Millard and Kathryn Price who wrote "Daddy's Little Girl" which stars The Rock as a former NFLquarterback who finds out he has a daughter. They're very hot tickets in town right now, and I'm so excited that they'll be working on my book.

They join the amazing Debra Martin Chase who is producing the film. You've probably heard of a few of Ms. Chase's other projects...a couple of little films called The Princess Diaries and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Oh my gosh, so much is happening. I need to go lie down.

But wait, I have a sequel to finish, don't I?

ALLY CARTER TELLS IT ALL

Internet (Internet). In an interview with book review site Teens Read Too, Ally Carter has revealed that the long-awaited sequel to her famous young adult novel, I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You, will be titled Top Secret.

Asked about the plot of the sequel, Carter added, "I'd love to tell you, but then -- then it wouldn't be very secrect any more, would it?"
