Talk about serving slices of humble pie! Former Suite Life of Zack and Cody star Dylan Sprouse recently confirmed that he is indeed working in a restaurant in NYC. However, the former child star has denied rumors that he has lost his fortune.
In a post made on his Tumblr blog Sprouse explained:
So many pictures have gotten out that I’m now working as a host at a restaurant in NY. To clear up the air (which is admittedly pretty rude), I did not take this job because I “lost all my money”, I am financially secure, and took this job as a way to primarily feed my over bountiful video game addiction. I also too this as a way to try a new experience, working somewhat below the means I’m used to, as well as a way to socialize and get out of the house. I feel most comfortable when I’m working and doing something, to criticize someone of that is pretty odd. I will potentially return to acting someday, but in no way do I think any experience is a step down for me, but rather a new step in another direction.
Dylan starred in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody alongside his twin brother, Cole on the Disney channel from 2005-2011. After exiting the show in 2011 Zack explained in a video for the YouTube series “Conversations with Nat” that the twins decided to leave the show in pursuit of college degrees in an effort to avoid the kind of negative experiences and issues many other former child stars have faced. The video has since been turned to private, but an article on The Huffington Post captured many of the quotes and information prior to the privacy settings being changed.

I definitely support Dylan’s decision to work at a restaurant in pursuit of a more normal college lifestyle. I love that he wasn’t afraid to stand up against Disney. Him and his brother were on track to become the next Olsen twins, but they walked away from it all because they didn’t like the lack of control. They are two independent adults now and determined to follow in their own pursuits. I think that they are very smart and while I do miss seeing them in movies and television, I am excited to see what the future has in store for them.

Salon.com posted earlier today that the internet’s favorite cat, Grumpy “Tardar Sauce” Cat has been ordered to star in her own movie. However, the deal sounds less than promising since it is being produced by Broken Road Productions, the company behind Adam Sandler’s lack-luster, multi-Razzie winning movie, Jack and Jill.
Grumpy Cat’s book will be called Grumpy Cat: A Grumpy Book: Disgruntled Tips and Activities Designed to Put a Frown on Your Face”. It is being published by Chronicle Books. There is no word yet on when the book will be available for purchase.

For those looking for the perfect beverage to pair with their copy of Grumpy Cat’s book, have no fear! A Grumpy Cat coffee beverage will soon be available as well. Grenade Beverages, LLC will be releasing cans and bottles of coffee featuring the most lovable grumpy cat on the internet.
