If purchasing pandas were legal, Emily Osment would be pitching a tent outside the panda store right now. If purchasing pandas were legal, Emily Osment would be pitching a tent outside the panda store right now.
The "Hannah Montana" star-turned-budding-musician has a unique love for the furry creatures, and her fans across the globe have taken note.
"In Brazil, I was playing a concert and these six girls had on really cool panda costumes," said Osment in a phone interview from New York City. "It is a known fact that I love pandas, and I get stuffed pandas all the time.
"Let me know when buying pandas will become legal, and I will be the first one in line!"

The 18-year-old will probably collect a few more stuffed animals from her fans this weekend. Osment will host an autograph signing at Spotsylvania Towne Centre on Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m., including a 20-minute Q&A session at the end.
The event is sponsored by 93.3 WFLS and 99.3 The Vibe, and it is free to the public.
"[Osment] has a lot of appeal from her acting background, and her first album was released just a few weeks ago," said Justin Bryant, programming director for 99.3 The Vibe.

"It's exciting to have her here during this time in her career--she's an 18-year-old with the world at her fingertips."
Osment is most recognized for her role as Lilly Truscott, Miley Cyrus' best friend, on "Hannah Montana." For four seasons, Osment generated laughs from kids and adults alike thanks to her quirkiness and ingenuity.
The show wrapped up production of its final season in mid-May.
"It was the right show, with the right story, at the right time," said Osment. "Every parent wants their kids to watch something that is OK with them. It connected with people in a lot of different ways, and it was truthful to real life."
Now that playing Lilly Truscott is no longer an 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. job, Osment is focusing on her love for music.
