简介：When you've been a member of a pop rock band that toured with Britney Spears and Destiny's Child (to name just two), interviewed Hollywood’s best and most famous entertainers on a nationally-syndicated TV show, and starred in one of the most wildly successful comedy movie franchises of all-time, where do you go from there? For multi-faceted and multi-talented LAUREN MAYHEW, the answer lies in a single word – UP.   Today, Lauren is one of the stars of the upcoming MTV series, Private High Musical (2010), described as "High School Musical with a wink and a nod to the 18-34 demographic." Ashton Kutcher chose Lauren as the voice of Britney for his animated series, Blah, Blah, Blah. She has started working on her solo material with some of the music industry's most talented producers, and she regularly performs to enthusiastic crowds at Hollywood's hottest clubs.   Lauren's new music, which she co-writes, has been featured on MTV's The Hills and The City, VH1’s Keeping with the Kardashians, and several movie soundtracks. Described as the new age Joan Jett, Lauren’s sound is rock infused with dance/electronic grooves. Her music has had dance floors rocking out and getting lost in the MAYHEM, which eventually became Lauren’s new nickname. It stuck. Miss MAYHEM has been quoted saying, "As much as I love acting, I have to say, that there is nothing like performing live."   Of course, nothing's stopping Lauren from succeeding at both. Her first national break came with a starring role on the soap opera Guiding Light, where she played Marah Lewis for two years. However, it was her role as front woman for pop quartet PYT that really thrust her into the spotlight.   Signed by her 13th birthday to Epic Records, Lauren started PYT with three of her friends, touring the world with 'N Sync, Destiny’s Child, 98 Degrees, and Britney Spears. "It was absolutely unbelievable; there is really no experience that is quite like it," says Lauren.   PYT's hectic travel schedule did not leave much time for acting, so she said good-bye to the cast of Guiding Light and headed out on tour with the group. The band charted two Billboard singles and was featured on soundtracks such as Miss Congeniality; Bring It On and Center Stage. Lauren appeared in major music videos with Mandy Moore and Faith Hill as well as two videos of her own with PYT.   She even performed at Super Bowl XXXV alongside Britney Spears, Sting, and Aerosmith. "The Super Bowl was crazy, and that’s by far the biggest audience I’ve ever performed for. There were 80,000 people in the stands alone."   After Lauren left PYT, she moved to Hollywood, where she has become one of Tinseltown's fastest rising stars. Lauren made her big screen debut in New Line Cinema’s Raise Your Voice, starring as Hilary Duff’s arch-rival Robin, a role that allowed her to transform into a cynical and malicious diva – quite a departure for fans who knew her as the sweet and bubbly host of talk shows like Real Access and Access Hollywood.   Her outstanding performance caught the attention of Universal Pictures, who immediately cast her in American Pie: Band Camp as "Arriana" the lust of Matt Stifler's life. She has guest starred on hit shows such as: CSI, CSI Miami, Law & Order, Joan of Arcadia, Medical Investigations, and was recurring on NBC's drama American Dreams, while attending college full-time. Now a UCLA graduate, Lauren can add another thing to her impressive resume.   LAUREN MAYHEW can be seen in the new feature film FRAT PARTY by Overture Pictures (currently airing on Showtime and The Movie Channel). Her music can be heard on the soundtrack for FRAT PARTY, MTV’s new show “Taking the Stage,” and multiple EPs that are available on Itunes.   Most recently, Lauren has been seen as the new ring announcer/national anthem singer for WWE’s SMACKDOWN!, Superstars, and ECW. She performs to packed arenas of 20,000 plus all over the globe, and, in addition, is televised to 150 million plus fans in practically every country on the planet. She is using this momentum to start a wave of performances for her original music in clubs, on TV shows, and in live venues across the US.
