Stefanie Scott looked absolutely beautiful at Teen Vogue’s Young Hollywood Party last month.
She’s only 14 and she’s already got the sultary over the shoulder look down.
I tell ya, this girl is gonna be big.
I mean, Exhibit A:
And you should all be convinced by now!
As always, click any pic for the full set. I’m also still looking for good pics of Stef from Variety’s 5th Annual Power of Youth event, so expect to see those soon.
A new DCOM starring Tyler James Williams, Coco Jones and Trevor Jackson? Oookay. A few thoughts that ran through my head…
1) They’re ripping off Victorious with the title. :/
2) Coco Jones? Seriosuly? She’s that crazy chick that was trying to sing “Who Says” at the 2011 D23 Expo.
3) “Cyrus DeBarge”? Cyrus DeBarge? Are they really that desperate?
4) “its soundtrack will include 12 original songs” Oh… maybe they are that desperate. LOL
5) “Brandon Mychal Smith (“So Random!”) as Lord of Da Bling, the intimidating champion rapper” Lord of Da Bling? Okay… that might actually be worth seeing.
6) “Nicole Sullivan (“MADtv”) as Roxanne’s powerful music manger Lyla;” Alright. I’ll watch. But I’m gonna write a harsh review after. xD
And if you’re still trying to place Coco Jones she’s from Radio Disney’s N.B.T.
Disney’s full press release follows:
PRODUCTION HAS BEGUN IN ATLANTA ON “LET IT SHINE,”
A DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE
–Starring Tyler James Williams, Coco Jones and Trevor Jackson–
Production has begun in Atlanta, Georgia on the Disney Channel Original Movie “Let It Shine,” a modern day teenage Cyrano de Bergerac set in the world of gospel music and hip-hop. The movie is scheduled to premiere in summer 2012 on Disney Channel; its soundtrack will include 12 original songs by acclaimed music producers/songwriters/performers such as Rock Mafia (Selena Gomez and The Scene “Love You Like a Love Song”), Grammy-winner Toby Gad (Beyoncé “If I Were A Boy” and Fergie “Big Girls Don’t Cry”) and David Banner (“Dance the Night Away” featuring Denim from “Footloose” and “Get Like Me” featuring Chris Brown and Yung Joc).
The story follows 16-year-old Cyrus DeBarge, an aspiring musician who has a gift for rhyme yet lacks the self-confidence to take the stage and, through his rap song, tell his longtime crush Roxanne Andrews how he feels about her. After he and his flighty best friend, Kris McDuffy enter a songwriting contest, Kris is mistakenly named the winner for a song Cyrus wrote. Fearful of being thrust into the spotlight, Cyrus panics and allows Kris to take credit for his heartfelt lyrics and soon he’s standing by as Roxanne begins to fall for Kris.
Starring are Tyler James Williams (“Everybody Hates Chris”) as Cyrus DeBarge, a gifted rapper full of self-doubt; Coco Jones (Radio Disney “N.B.T.”) as Roxanne Andrews, a fast-rising music star; Trevor Jackson (“Cold Case”) as Kris McDuffy, a thrilling dancer with a bigger than life personality; Brandon Mychal Smith (“So Random!”) as Lord of Da Bling, the intimidating champion rapper; Nicole Sullivan (“MADtv”) as Roxanne’s powerful music manger Lyla; Courtney B. Vance (“FlashForward”) as Cyrus’ preacher father, Jacob DeBarge, who opposes rap music; and Dawnn Lewis (“A Different World”) as Cyrus’ mother, Gail.
“Let It Shine” is directed by two-time DGA award winner Paul Hoen (“Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam,” “JONAS”), was written by Don D. Scott (“Barbershop,” “Barbershop 2: Back in Business”) and Eric Daniel. The movie is choreographed by Danny Teeson (“American Idol”) and associate Brandon Shaw (“So You Think You Can Dance,” NAACP Image Awards). Songwriters include: Antonina Armato, David Banner, Andy Dodd, In-Q, J-Doe, Toby Gad, Adam Hicks, Tim James, Steven Jones, Jay L’Oreal, Rock Mafia, Justin Mobley, Tocarra Phillips, Lindy Robbins, Thomas Armato Sturges, Dapo Torimiro, Anna Vasilenko, Jon Vella, Lambert “Stereo” Waldrip and Adam Watts. “Let It Shine” is a production of G Wave Productions, LLC.
Okay, I will admit that I am intreagued by this idea. It could work if done properly, but I highly doubt they’d actually play it risque enough to be funny. The fact that they describe it as “music-driven” concerns me. Zombies shouldn’t be singing and dancing! LOL
Still… it’s interesting that Disney chose to anounce that they’re filming a pilot for this idea. They must think quite highly of it if they’re already going to promote it.
No news on casting as of yet.
The full article follows.
DISNEY CHANNEL ORDERS MUSICAL PILOT
“ZOMBIES AND CHEERLEADERS”
Disney Channel has ordered the music-driven pilot “Zombies and Cheerleaders.” Production on the pilot begins in December in consideration for a Disney Channel series to premiere in 2012.
The story follows Zed Necrodopolis, a typical high school student with one small caveat; he happens to be a zombie. Despite a high-tech wristwatch designed to curb any appetite he may have for his classmates, he and his zombie friends remain unpopular with the school’s most influential group, the pom-pom wielding cheerleaders. Never one to back down from a challenge, Zed sets out to improve zombie student body relations and win the attention of Addison, the cheerleading squad’s newest member.
“Zombies and Cheerleaders” is executive produced by Eric Weinberg (“Scrubs,” “Death Valley”) and was written by Joseph Raso and David Light who also serve as co-executive producers. Todd Strauss Schulson (“A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas”) will direct the pilot.
Wow. That was fast. Thirteen year old Jessie actress Peyton List was recently photgraphed in a bikini at the beach.
She looks pretty good. She’s waaay too young for me, but I’m guessing more than a few of our younger readers might be into her.
Now, maybe it’s just my eyes playing a trick on me, but is that Karan Brar (Ravi) with her? If the Jessie cast all went to the beach I demand to see pics of Debby! =]

We’ve known about the Good Luck Charlie DCOM for a while now, but I’m very disapointed to see that it’s going to be a Christmas special. That will severly limit it’s potential and I was hoping it would be a good push for Bridgit’s career. Oh well.
Okay, did I did like the little bit there Teddy is dancing an her mom’s all “not the time!” So I still think it’s gonna be pretty good, just… not what I expected.
They’re also going to use the event as a lead in to a preview of their new show Austin & Ally with Laura Marano that we’ve also been talking about for a while now…
Anyway, Disney’s full press release follows:

In “Good Luck Charlie It’s Christmas!,” it’s a holiday season the Duncans won’t soon forget. The adventure begins when the Duncans, who are en route to Palm Springs to celebrate the holidays with Amy’s parents, are separated after Teddy makes a snap decision to give up her seat on the flight for a free ticket. Unwilling to stand by and let her daughter travel alone, Amy also disembarks the plane only to discover the next flight to Palm Springs departs after Christmas. Meanwhile, the rest of the family arrive in Palm Springs, but things aren’t any easier as Bob tries to care for Charlie under the watchful eye of Amy’s mom Petunia; PJ learns the pros and cons of his grandparents’ pool and Gabe quickly realizes the downfalls of teaching grandpa Hank how to play his video game.
Leading up to the premiere, the cast of “Good Luck Charlie, It’s Christmas!” will share inside scoops from the set, including an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie. The hosted wraps begin airing Sunday, November 6 and continue every Sunday night up until the premiere.
Beginning Friday, November 4, kids and families can visit DisneyChannel.com and experience new games inspired by the movie, including “Christmas Fix It!,” where users can help spruce up grandma’s condo after Charlie has a bit too much fun playing with Christmas decorations, and “Vacation Vehicles,” where fans can travel with various vehicles to get the entire Duncan family together for the holidays.
Immediately following the movie is a special preview of the new comedy series “Austin & Ally,” which centers around the partnership between two polar opposites — Austin, an extroverted musician/singer, and Ally, a brilliant yet shy songwriter — and their two best friends, Trish and Dez.
