I haven’t posted any pics of Ariana Grande in a while, so I thought you all might enjoy these lovely shots from the “Time for Heroes” picnic back on June 13, 2010.
That 3/4 head-shot is one of my absolute favorite photos of her, like, ever.

Check out this hot video of Selena Gomez talking with SB.TV in England last week.
Topics discussed include working with Lil Wayne’s producer, comparing her new album to her previous one, her admiration and love for Cheryl Cole, X- Factor & her love for UK acts such as The Script, Ellie Goulding, Pixie Lott and more.
The end of Hannah Montana looms with the series finale date and time finally announced, Sunday November 7th at 7:30pm.
It wasn’t that long ago that we discussed the season three finale; the original planned ending for the show. The fourth season was designed to more thoroughly conclude the existing story lines and it did that, to a point. The fourth season finale in many ways seems like a rehash of the HM Movie’s plot and only time will tell if this attempt will do the series justice.
The official Disney Press Release follows:
JAY LENO AND DR. PHIL GUEST STAR IN “HANNAH MONTANA FOREVER,” SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7 ON DISNEY CHANNEL
Jay Leno and Dr. Phil McGraw guest star as themselves when international superstar Hannah Montana contemplates removing her blonde wig and telling the world she’s really Miley Stewart, in a one hour episode of “Hannah Montana Forever” premiering SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7 (7:30-8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel. It will be available first as part of an episode compilation DVD, “Hannah Montana: Who is Hannah Montana?,” releasing NOVEMBER 2 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.
In the episode titled “I’ll Always Remember You,” Miley is in the midst of the college admissions process and her boyfriend, Jesse, is growing tired of pretending to date Hannah. Increasingly challenged by her complicated double life, Miley gets ready to remove the blonde wig and reveal Hannah’s true identity — on “The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno” — and even Dr. Phil has something to say about the matter.
“Hannah Montana” reaches over 266 million unduplicated viewers worldwide, in over 150 countries, in 30 different languages. Year to-date, “Hannah Montana” is the #1 TV series among Kids 6-11 and Tweens 9-14. Its fourth season is pacing at record levels in Total Viewers (5.4 million), Kids 6-11 (2.0 million) and Tweens 9-14 (2.0 million).
Starring are Miley Cyrus as Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana, Emily Osment as Lilly Truscott, Jason Earles as Jackson Stewart, Billy Ray Cyrus as Robby Stewart and Moises Arias as Rico.
The series was created by Michael Poryes and Rich Correll and Barry O’Brien. The executive producers are Steven Peterman and Michael Poryes. “Hannah Montana” is a production of It’s a Laugh Productions, Inc.
Did everyone remember to watch Ashley Tisdale on the Ellen DeGeneres Show last Tuesday? If not, here ya go.
There wasn’t a new Hellcats this week, so this was a good way to get my Ashley fix for the week. And if you missed it before, I wrote a post back in June that gives a better look at those pictures of Ashley’s new house.
I actually missed it when it aired because I was in LA to meet Hilary Duff, so I’m glad it popped up on youtube.
Sorry about the recent lack/slowdown in new posts. My computer is acting up and I didn’t have a chance to work on it today because I went to see/meet/get the autograph of the multi-talented Hilary Duff at her book signing today at the Grove in LA!
I used to be obsessed with Hilary. From like 2003 through 2006 I would do anything for her. Probably even worse than my current obsession with Selena, if you can manage to imagine such a thing…
I swear I’m happy. I just can’t smile on command. Plus I wasn’t ready, I was still trying to talk to her. LOL
Anyway, I got my autograph plus a picture (which Barns and Noble said wouldn’t be allowed but Hil overruled them ’cause we had been waiting so long <3)
Gregg Sulkin in a DCOM? At least it keeps him away from Selena.
LEGEND LIVES ON AT AVALON HIGH
BRITT ROBERTSON AND GREGG SULKIN STAR IN
DISNEY CHANNEL’S ORIGINAL MOVIE “AVALON HIGH,”
A MODERN DAY TWIST ON CAMELOT,
PREMIERING FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12
“Avalon High,” a new Disney Channel Original Movie that puts a contemporary twist on Arthurian legend, premieres FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel and Disney Mobile for Sprint TV, MobiTV and Flo TV. Starring Britt Robertson (“Life Unexpected”) and Gregg Sulkin (“Wizards of Waverly Place,” Disney Channel UK’s “As the Bell Rings”), the movie is based upon the award-winning novel by best-selling author Meg Cabot (“The Princess Diaries”). It follows Allie, a transfer student to Avalon High, who discovers that her new classmates are reincarnations of King Arthur and his Court.
Beginning Friday, October 15, DisneyChannel.com invites users to participate in a weekly “Trivia Challenge” on Arthurian legend. Each week a new set of questions will be released leading up to the premiere. Players must complete all five weeks of trivia to earn virtual gems that will unlock a mystery game.
An exclusive preview of “Avalon High” will be available beginning Friday, November 5, on Disney Channel on Demand to a variety of affiliates including Cablevision, Time Warner and Verizon FiOS TV customers.
In “Avalon High,” Allie Pennington is ecstatic when her parents, traveling professors, tell her she will be staying at Avalon High until she graduates. She can finally join the track team, make new friends and be a normal high school student. But shortly after arriving, Allie discovers that something strange may be afoot. While researching a term paper on King Arthur’s legacy, she begins to notice some interesting parallels between the past and the present – from handsome quarterback Will, his cheerleader girlfriend, Jen, and their best friend, Lance, to Will’s brooding step-brother, Marco, a quirky kid named Miles and football players who act like knights of the roundtable. The deeper Allie searches, the more convinced she is that her school is a contemporary Camelot, and it’s up to her to solve the mystery of Avalon High before notorious traitor Mordred wins again.
The movie stars Britt Robertson as Allie Pennington, Gregg Sulkin as Will Wagner, Joey Pollari (Disney XD’s “Skyrunners”) as Miles, Devon Graye (“Dexter”) as Marco, Molly Quinn (“Castle”) as Jen, Chris Tavarez (“Big Momma’s House 2″) as Lance, Don Lake (“The Bonnie Hunt Show”) as Allie’s Dad and Steve Valentine (“I’m In The Band,” “Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie,” “Crossing Jordan”) as Mr. Moore.
The teleplay, based upon the book written by Meg Cabot, was written by Julie Sherman Wolfe (“JONAS,” “Phil of the Future”) and Amy Talkington (“Confessions”). “Avalon High” was directed and co-produced by Stuart Gillard (Disney Channel’s “Hatching Pete,” “90210″); executive produced by Michael Jaffe (“The Informant!”) and Howard Braunstein (“The Informant!”) and produced by Janine Dickins (“Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior,” “Power Rangers Operation Overdrive”). “Avalon High” is a production of Sudden Motion Productions, Inc. and Ranger Productions Ltd.
I’m quite familiar with Sean Cocchia. He’s been one of the driving forces behind the Disney Channel for the past few years, and now it looks like he’s going to be taking over Radio Disney. This should be interesting. I’m not familiar with David Cobb, but it looks like he will have a major role in current and future “save my show” movements…

So in case you didn’t already know, Selena Gomez totally has a girl crush on English singer, songwriter, model, and television personality, Cheryl Cole.
… yeah, I didn’t know who she was either. LOL
Anyway, since Selena’s in England again, she attended the launch of Cheryl’s new Jewelry line “Promise de Grisogono”
Her shirt almost looks like the kind that turns transparent under flash bulbs.
…almost. Someone needs to give her one of those!
Anyway, click any pic to see the other seven Selena pics from this event.
