The other day I spoke with Donny Osmond. I had last interviewed Donny years ago, but throughout the conversation it became clear that he hadn’t changed.  He was still just as self-deprecating as ever! With regards to his career, however, he’s hotter than ever. Donny is currently starring in the new Martin Lawrence movie College Road Trip, the Disney family comedy about a girl eagerly looking forward to a girls-only road trip to check out prospective universities. When her overbearing police chief father (Lawrence) insists on escorting her instead, however, she soon finds that her dream trip has turned into a nightmare. “I’m not an actor,” Donny told me, “so I was pretty surprised when they called me to be in it. I’d done this music video, White and Nerdy with Weird Al Yankovic last fall, and had a blast with the character. And then Roger Kumble, who was directing College, called me and said, “We want that guy! That white bread annoying nerd!” he recalls. “I obviously created a monster. But it was such a great experience and I’d love to do more movies now.”
