Aly Michalka is growing up.

But not too much. The 19-year-old, best known from Aly & AJ, tells me there's not a chance in heck she'll be stripping down for a movie.

"I don't think it's necessary," Aly says.  "I think there are other ways to shoot a love scene or a sexy scene without taking your clothes off."

However, she does get to stir things up a bit in the upcoming Easy A, opposite Superbad's Emma Stone...

"It's a really quirky, raunchy comedy," Aly said. "I play [Emma's] crazy best friend who has the worst mouth on her possible, definitely a different role for me. She cusses like a sailor."

Ms. Aly's newest flick, Bandslam, isn't too much of a departure for her. She costars with Vanessa Hudgens and Gaelan Connell as the popular girl in school who helps put together a rock-and-roll band with some fellow students.

She and Gaelan even share an onscreen smooch. "We were really comfortable with each other," Aly explained. "We had known each other for months. I was just like, 'Dude, we're going to kill this! Don't worry about it. It's going to be sick.' We just pumped each other up and it turned out really good."

She does realize that screenings of Bandslam will include the premiere of the New Moon trailer. "It's huge," Aly said. "I think it will help our film."

Even though she admitted to being "more of a Harry Potter fan," Aly definitely gets the Robert Pattinson phenomenon. "But it's not just about his looks," she said. "I actually find him to be a really good, solid actor."
