Who is the next Celebrity Judge in
the San Diego Mega Star Competition?

Mario Lopez and Emily Osment kick off Round 1!

San Diego, CA (9/24/07) - Mario Lopez (from ABC's "Dancing with the Stars") and Emily Osment (from Disney's "Hannah Montana") were on hand with Council member and Mother Goose Parade President Jillian Hanson-Cox, for the kick off of Hanson-Cox's 1st Annual San Diego Mega Star competition, Round 1! Also joining the celebrities, were Los Angeles agent Janna Joos of International Celebrity Images, rising singing sensation, Ashley E, and Pussycat Doll's reality series songstress, Jenna Artzer and Monica Zech rounded out the team as Master of Ceremonies.

"The level of competition was astounding," said Hanson-Cox of the event, "it was a powerful reminder of the extraordinary scope of talent we have here, in our own back yard, selecting only one individual is going to be the most difficult task we have yet to face. The Mother Goose Parade is having an all-star, celebrity show this year and I am proud to know that whomever we select as the San Diego Mega Star, will fit in perfectly."

The San Diego Mega Star competition was created to discover and promote San Diego county singing talent. The competition consists of five rounds of competition, in two categories: youth (5yrs - 17yrs) and adult (18yrs and older). One Mega Star (winner) will be selected from each category and will perform live on November 18, 2007 on the Main Stage for the El Cajon Mother Goose Parade; one of the largest and oldest televised parades in North America. The Mega Star will walk the red carpet, do the interviews and even arrive in a limo!

Having already drawn the attention of Los Angeles talent scouts, Hanson-Cox is excited and hopeful that one of the Mega Star contestants will be discovered by San Diego's northern neighbors, Hollywood.

With throngs of fans lining up for a photo opportunity with their favorite celebrity, the big question on everyone's lips... who will be the next Mega Star celebrity judges this coming Saturday, September 29? "Let's just say, they are amazing and everyone knows them," said a smiling Hanson-Cox, refusing to let the cat out of the bag too early!
