This looks so stupid. But hey, ya never know, I thought Lemonade Mouth would be stupid and it actually ended up being pretty damn good. It also looks like it’s part of a series? I’m not exactly sure what they mean by “Ushers in Summer Series”…

“MY BABYSITTER’S A VAMPIRE,” A MOVIE THAT TAKES
A COMEDIC BITE OUT OF POP CULTURE VAMPIRES,
PREMIERES FRIDAY, JUNE 10 ON DISNEY CHANNEL
Ushers in Summer Series Premiering Monday, June 27
“My Babysitter’s a Vampire,” a comedic spin on pop culture vampires and scary movies in general, tells the story of three teens who believe their new babysitter is a real bloodsucking creature of the night — and it’s now up to them to rid their sleepy little town of the menace. The movie premieres FRIDAY, JUNE 10 (7:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel. Produced by Fresh TV and distributed by FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME), it will usher in a summer series premiering Monday, June 27 (7:00 p.m., ET/PT).
In the movie, geeky 14-year old Ethan (played by Matthew Knight) is left to babysit his younger sister, Jane (played by Ella Jonas Farlinger), with his best friend Benny (played by Atticus Mitchell). But after Ethan inadvertently puts Jane in harm’s way, his parents hire a professional sitter, the beautiful yet mysterious 17-year-old Sarah (played by Vanessa Morgan) who, unbeknownst to them, is actually a fledgling vampire. When the boys discover Sarah’s secret, she enlists their help in stopping her vampire ex-boyfriend, Jesse, from taking over their town, Whitechapel. Along the way, they discover that Whitechapel holds a few secrets of its own, and that they themselves might actually even have supernatural powers. When fans of the newest vampire movie “Dusk 3″ gather for its premiere, Jesse and his clan of followers plan their vengeance on Whitechapel that night, and only Sarah, Ethan and Benny can stop them from destroying their town.
The story was created by the award-winning team of Tom McGillis and Jennifer Pertsch, with screenplay by Tim Burns. “My Babysitter’s a Vampire” was developed by Fresh TV in association with TELETOON. Executive producers are Tom McGillis, Jennifer Pertsch, Brian Irving and George Elliott, as well as FME’s Sander Schwartz and Bob Higgins.

Disney’s new Sonny with a Chance spinoff series So Random is set to premiere next week! As I mentioned before, the new series focuses entirely on the comedy with pretty much no connection to Sonny‘s plot what so ever. Still, it’s got a good cast (<3 U Tiff) and it’s pretty well written. As you may recall, I went to the filming for the 5th episode (Guest staring my love Selena Gomez) and while a few sketches fell flat it was pretty damn funny overall. Plus Demi said to watch it in her live chat on Friday, so all you Demi lovers better do what she says.

Alright, I’m sure by now everyone’s seen this pic of Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber. So let’s just get it over with.
I’ve been staring at these all day trying to figure out what I could say that hasn’t already been said. So I think I’m just gonna ignore Justin and his grabby hands…
… starting right now. ‘Cause if we take Bieber out of the picture, we really did get some great shots of Sel.
Awesome! Or how about…
… or even …
… pretty good stuff right?
There’s even a decent butt shot.
And of course, this one would have been awesome had a certain someone not been in the way.
As I always say, click any pic to see the full gallery of both the original and cropped pics (40 in total!).
Last night I went to see Victoria Justice and the cast of Victorious perform for the Victorious WalMart Soundcheck Concert in LA at the historic Avalon Theater at Hollywood and Vine. Yay for run on sentences!
Because they were filming it, I figured they’d have pretty tight security and not let cameras in. I mean, camera flashes are pretty disruptive. So I only brought my phone. But no, they didn’t search us at all. Damn.
Anyway, Vic did five separate songs, and she sang three of them twice (for the cameras).
I ended up being just left of center, second row. Pretty damn good I thought. Between the sets, Victoria ran across the front and she touched my hand. <3
One of the songs she did was a duet with Leon Thomas called “Song For You.”
The whole cast sang “I Want You Back,” originally performed by the Jackson 5.
My girl Ariana Grande was like five feet away from me at one point. <3
Of course, she hugged me last year, so I don’t think there’s getting any closer than that.
Liz Gillies was looking great too. That little black dress was to die for.
Liz also ran across the front like Vic did, but she skipped my hand.
The professional video from the event should be released later this year when the Victorious Soundtrack is released. Until then, you can find a few more vids on my youtube.
And as always, click any photo to see the full set. Despite not having my good camera, I was still close enough to get some nice shots.
This is an older set that I stole from Miss Tisdale dot Net. Those peeps have pretty much every photo of Tizz ever taken, but there’s just too many, ya know what I mean? It makes it hard to find the really good sets.
Anyway, I’m always a sucker for a see though top over a black bra, so I just loved these.
The rest of her outfit is pretty nice too.
And I have always liked her just a teeny bit better as a blonde.
This particular set was from September 25th 2009.
Anyway, as always click any pic if you want to see the full set.
Or how about…
