Disney Channel Fans

Debby Ryan’s new DCOM premieres later this month. I hope you’re all as excited as I am! Be sure to check out the Debby Ryan forum for more about Debby and her new movie!

Disney’s press release and premiere schedule follows:

POPULAR YOUNG ACTRESS DEBBY RYAN STARS IN “RADIO REBEL,”
A DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE PREMIERING FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17

Fan favorite Debby Ryan (“Jessie”) stars as a teen who secretly breaks free from her painfully shy self and into the persona of a bold podcast host who rocks her Seattle high school with music and the message to ‘be yourself,’ in “Radio Rebel,” a Disney Channel Original Movie based on the novel Shrinking Violet, premiering FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT). The soundtrack will include Debby Ryan performing the smash hit “We Got the Beat.”

Ryan stars in Disney Channel’s comedy series “Jessie” which premiered in September 2011 and is pacing to be the #1 cable TV series of all time among Kids 6-11. She also starred in the movie “16 Wishes” which delivered an impressive 5.6 million Total Viewers in June 2010. She first gained popularity among kids, tweens and families in Disney Channel’s hit series “The Suite Life on Deck.”

In “Radio Rebel,” Ryan plays Tara Adams, an introverted high school junior who can’t bring herself to speak in class — and especially when the newly-popular rocker, Gavin, is in her midst. Tara can’t imagine anything more intimidating than when her drama teacher teams her in class with Gavin and his prom date, the school’s cliquish queen bee, Stacy. Her shyness at school notwithstanding, alone in her room at home, Tara casts herself as Radio Rebel and, as host of a nightly podcast, showcases her passion for music and self-expression and her message to abandon cliques and celebrate each other’s differences. Radio Rebel quickly gains fans on campus — especially when her show lands on a big, local radio station — much to the chagrin of the school’s principal who considers Radio Rebel and her message to be in clear defiance of the school’s “anti-distraction policy.” Meanwhile, Gavin raves about the mysterious host and her taste in music but still, shy Tara – now oddly jealous of her alter-ego – can barely finish a sentence in front of him. As students clamor to learn the identity of Radio Rebel and the show’s popularity extends across Seattle, Tara’s two worlds begin to collide, reaching an apex when Radio Rebel is nominated prom-queen and the school, in turn, bans prom, causing a backlash from her fans. Now, Tara wrestles with two even bolder moves — organizing an alternative to the prom and revealing that she is Radio Rebel.

Debby sure loves her vinyl.

Even more amazing, she actually found a store that has them!

These candids are from Backside Records in Burbank.

It looks like they have quite a selection. I wonder if Debby frequents them.

Looks like she bought a few things too.

There are a few more of Debby shopping in the gallery so be sure to click for the full set.

I haven’t posted much of Debby in a while.

This set is from Popstar’s Break-through Artists Of 2012 event last December

I really like her new hair color. It really brings out her eyes.

And of course, she looked super cute in that outfit. =]

I think she knew it too.

There was even a shoe pic for those of you that like those.

Sorry a lot of these are LQ, but you can find the full set in the gallery by clicking any pic above.

Here’s a couple pics of Debby Ryan shamelessly shilling for T-Mobile…

… and their new “myTouch 4G phone.” Whatever that is. LOL

I’m only posting these ’cause she looks pretty cute in that second pic. xD

Looks like the Jessie cast had a good time at Disneyland.

I think Mickey had a good time with Debby too.

(The funny part about that it that it’s usually a girl that plays Mickey Mouse. xD)

And I must say that Miss Debby was showing her legs quite a bit on that trip!

Miss Payton looked to be having fun.

And Skai Jackson in that gangsta pose? OMG I cracked up so hard at that.

Did you see the old lady on the far right of that pic? She has no idea who those crazy kids are. xD

Wow. Have you seen Debby’s photoshoot for Glamaholic Magazine? Here’s the behind the scenes video…

Here’s a look at the magazine courtesy of poweranimals on the Debby forum.

I think they overdid the makeup a little bit, but she still looks amazing.

I am totally loving this look. She’s 18 now and she’s clearly not trying to be a kid anymore.

And have a look at this dress! Her, um, front side looks very nice.

What the heck, one more.

If you wanna see all the pics from the shoot, you should click over to the gallery. The pages are in order there too.

I hope all you Debby fans have been keeping an eye on the Jessie Fan Site. A good way to keep up to date on the Jessie site is follow our twitter @dcfanstv as we post all the updates there as they are posted on the site.

Jessie Episode seven, “Creepy Connie Comes a Callin’” guest stared A.N.T. Farm‘s Sierra McCormick.

Connie went of the deep end, but Debby sure looked hot in that red dress at the end.

And I loved seeing her in that tight blue over pink t-shirt outfit.

And from the side? You know what I’m talking about.

But this next one was probably my favorite screencap from the episode.

… lucky window. LOLz.

We had also recently added some caps from other episodes, such as episode 6 “Zuri’s New Old Friend”

Click on any pic above to view the screencap gallery that episode is from, or visit the Jessie Episode Guide to see all of the available screencap galleries.

My girl Aly just keeps sexing it up as she gets older. I love it. I still don’t much care for her sister… I should have just cropped her out. xD

The Michalkas were also hangin’ with the lovely Emma Roberts (can you believe she’s gonna be 21 in just a few months?)

… and Miley too. Milez actually scared me a little with that. I mean, what exactly is she supposed to be anyway?

And this isn’t really a Halloween pic, but it is a great pic of Debby in her Zombie outfit from Jessie, so I thought I’d include it here.

Oh, and Demi was a pirate. =]

Thank you twitter.

Variety’s 5th Annual Power Of Youth Event was last Saturday.

This annual event has always been a real who’s who kind of event so I’m glad to see Debby made it again this year.

Even if she was looking a little tied she still looked great.

I really like her new “Jessie” hair too. It brings out her beautiful eyes.

Speaking of Jessie, there are new screencaps for last friday’s episode up on Jessie Fans

Here’s some video from the event.

Be sure to click any pic to see the full set from the Variety event.
