Be sure to check out her video where she tells us about one of her favorite memories with her BFF!

TWIST: Can you tell us a little bit about Valemont and your character? What exactly is going on?
NB: Well, my character's name is Poppy. Poppy Barker, and she enrolls in Valemont because it's one of the most prestigious universities. She wants to go to one of the best schools. So, she enrolls and she doesn't know that she has enrolled herself at a school for vampires. It's actually cool because it's a college where vampires go to learn how to live amongst the human race and how to suppress their hunger for human blood and all that good stuff.

TWIST: It seems a little more on the dark side compared to the stuff that you normally do like Hairspray and Queen Sized.
NB: Yeah, that's kind of why I wanted to do it. I've read the script and I loved it. And I've read the character description and I just fell in love with, Poppy. You know, I've been fortunate. I've gotten the opportunity to play a lot of fun characters that are out there and bubbly and having a good time and we're singing and dancing, but this script had no singing and dancing. It was about vampires and it was about you know, the dark side. So I kind of wanted to cross over to the dark side and see what it was like for a little while, and it was cool.

TWIST: I don't know if you're able to talk about it, but they just announced their filming Hairspray 2. Do you know anything about that?
NB: I learn as the fans do. Honest to God, I don't get any special treatment. I found out about Hairspray 2 when something was up on my website when a fan wrote in, "Check your IMDB," and I checked it and it said Hairspray 2, Tracy Turnblad. I was just like, oh, guess we're making it. I did speak to the director, Adam Shankman, he's been twittering a lot about it, so yeah. It's happening.

TWIST: Do you think they're going to be able to get the cast back?
NB: I know that I just spoke to Amanda the other day, and I know that me and her, honestly, what you see on camera as Tracy and Penny, we're like that in real life, like Nikki and Amanda we're just crazy. We definitely would love to play Tracy and Penny again. I know that Zac would totally be down for it as well because we can't have anybody but the Link Larkin. He's the only one that makes Tracy's heart beat. So, yeah I think they would be able to get everybody back, everybody that would really be important to the story line that they're writing for the second one.

TWIST: Can you tell us about your most embarrassing moment?
NB: I guess, it's kind of embarrassing but Zac and I were doing a kissing scene in Hairspray and we didn't hear the director yell cut. So, we went on for like four minutes and it was kind of embarrassing to turn around and see all the backup dancers with their arms folded. They kind of looked at us and just said, "Are you done yet?" And I was just like, "I didn't hear anybody say cut, like guys you know, use the megaphone, be a little louder!" That was kind of embarrassing.
