All New 'PrankStars' Promo!

Good news for new series lovers! We posted a little while back about Selena Gomez hosting a new Disney, PUNK'D-like series. It turns out, Mitchel Musso will be hosting, but it will feature Selena, along with Suite Life and Jessie star, Debby Ryan!

The only thing is, it sure seems like you would notice if your favorite celebrity was sitting right next to you, but it still looks like a good show. What do you think?

Debby Ryan and The Cast of 'Jessie'!

Debby Ryan of The Suite Life On Deck just tweeted a picture of her and the rest of the cast of the upcoming Disney Channel Original Series, Jessie! We're super-excited for the series premiere this fall, what about you?

How Much Money Does Selena Gomez Make? (And How Much Did Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus Make?)

Many people assume that teen stars make a ton of money per episode, but that really isn't true. Miley Cyrus only made $15,000 per episode for her run on Hannah Montana. Before she left the series, Demi Lovato made even less at $12,000 per episode on Sonny With A Chance. Selena Gomez makes the most money on Disney Channel at $25,000 an episode for Wizards of Waverly Place, which is now in it's final season.


Miley made so little compared to everyone else because she makes $75,000 per single concert she performs, made a ton on Hannah Montana: The Movie, and also makes quite a bit on Hannah Montana merchandise. I can't quite figure out why Demi made so little, but it was probably because her series didn't quite grab the ratings that Miley and Selena's did. Selena still makes a little bit less than Miley did because she didn't make as much for Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie, makes as much on merchandise, or get so much for a concert.


In comparison, Nick's biggest star, Miranda Cosgrove, makes $180,000 per episode of iCarly, but Keke Palmer only made $20,000 per episode of True Jackson VP, and Victoria Justice only made $12,000 per episode for the first season VicTORious, though that is sure to change now that her series has great ratings and it is putting out a lot of merchandise.


What do you think? Are they payed too little, too much? Tell us in the comments!

'Shake It Up' Movie Announced!

Great news for Shake It Up fans! Disney has just announced that a DCOM based on the hit series is in production! They haven't said what the movie will be about yet, but we're sure it will be a hit. Shake It Up is already the most successful in the 9-14 category in it's time frame, and almost the most successful in history!


What do you think? Is it too early to make a movie, or do they deserve it? Sound off in the comments!

Footage of Selena Gomez in Failed Disney Channel Pilot 'Arwin!'

Before Selena Gomez was famous for starring alongside David Henrie and Jake T. Austin in Wizards of Waverly Place, she was almost famous for starring with a whole other cast in a whole other show. Originally, the people at Disney planned to use Selena (who they had tested with cameos on Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody) in a Suite Life spin-off about Arwin called, you guessed it, Arwin! Below, you can see a clip of Selena in a scene with Samantha Droke, who she ended up working with three years later on Princess Protection Program.

We don't know about you, but we are very happy that this pilot wasn't picked up! Not only does it not look all that funny, but it would have also meant that two of Disney Channel's top series, Wizards of Waverly Place and The Suite Life On Deck, would not have been made. What do you think of the clip?

New 'A.N.T. Farm' Logo and Promo!

Above is the brand-new logo for Disney Channel's newest series, A.N.T. Farm! We love how in the promo it looks like it could have been drawn right on!

We love it! Will you be watching the series premiere this summer?

Demi Lovato QUITS 'Sonny With A Chance'!

In a recent interview with People Magazine, Demi Lovato discussed some of her future career moves, which unfortunately includes quitting her hit TV series Sonny With A Chance! As we have already reported, the show will be renamed So Random! and be more of a sketch show than a sitcom. Here's what Demi had to say on the topic:

"It made sense for me to go ahead and leave the show to focus on my music. It’s kind of sad for me that a chapter of my life has ended but there couldn’t be a better time for me to move on. I don’t think going back to Sonny would be healthy for my recovery. Being in front of a camera would make me nervous."

And here's what a Disney Channel rep had to say about the issue:

"We respect Demi’s decision to focus fulltime on her music and not immediately return to her acting career. She is a talented young woman and our hearts are with her as she continues to take action to improve her health and bounce back from adversity."

While we are very sad to see Demi go, we're glad that she is making what she believes to be the best decision for her.

Selena Gomez to Star in New Disney Channel Reality Show!

As Wizards of Waverly Place is coming to a close, many people thought that this would be the last we'd hear from "Disney Selena". But it turns out, she has another Disney Channel show coming out soon! The show will not be a regular Disney series, but a reality show similar to Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd. Selena will go find other Disney Channel stars and prank them! The show has reportedly already shot the pilot episode.

Exciting! We're so happy Selena will stay on Disney Channel for a little bit longer!

Disney Channel 2011 Friends for Change Games!

Disney Channel has just announced the return of the Disney Channel Games, under a new name, Friends for Change Games. The event last took place in 2008. In 2009 and 2010, the event was cancelled due to actors/actresses being unavailable during the summer as they the majority of them were working on movie or music projects. For those who haven't seen it, the event consists of U.S. and even some international Disney Channel stars competing as teams (Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue) in relay races, obstacle courses, egg tosses, and more challenges of that sort. The challenges also include performances by some of the hottest Disney stars of the year.

This year at the end of the competition, there will be a Concert for Hope, which will raise money for Cancer Awareness, headlined by Selena Gomez & The Scene, featuring other performances by Allstar Weekend and the Jonas Brothers. Also, the games, which will be filmed in Los Angeles this year instead of Orlando, are said to not be as "elaborate" as 2007 and 2008's. We're not really sure what that means, but we guess that the challenges will be smaller and maybe feature less of main characters.

Exciting! We always used to love the Disney Channel Games and were sad when they took it away two years ago. Will you be watching? Tell us in the comments!
