Raven returns to Disney Channel!

Of course, we’ve known about this for a while, but it’s still an amazing event. It’s only the second new Sonny of the month, the highly anticipated episode “That’s So Sonny,” and it airs this Sunday at 8. We also hava a huge spoiler thread for “That’s so Sonny” on the SWAC Forum thanks to Moderator Kaliet who obtained that episode’s script!

RAVEN-SYMONE GUEST STARS AS CHAD’S FAN CLUB PRESIDENT
IN A NEW EPISODE OF “SONNY WITH A CHANCE,”
SUNDAY, AUGUST 29 ON DISNEY CHANNEL

“That’s So Sonny” – As Chad’s fan club approaches the one million member mark, the numbers mysteriously start to dwindle, so he enlists his fan club president, Amber (played by Raven-Symone), to get to the bottom of it. Amber investigates Chad’s decline in popularity, concluding that Sonny is to blame, in a new episode of “Sonny With A Chance,” SUNDAY, AUGUST 29 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

It looks like Demi had some fun the other night at her 18th birthday party.

She took a turn DJing with DJ Reach – self proclaimed “DJ to the stars and promoter extraordinaire.”

Demi’s SWAC costar Brandon Smith wrote of their party exploits: “Fun times last night at @ddlovato BIG18!!! @Miles_D @AlfredoFlores @JasTookes where all in attendance and @DJReach was REDDICULOSOO! LoveNY”

I’m guessing Joe wasn’t invited.

Edit: OMFG. Look. At. Demi.

She is looking so fucking hot right there. Forget the bikini pics, I’ve never wanted to jump her bones more.

And she is 18 there – so I have no qualms about saying that.

And I guess Joe was invited. Boo. But on the plus side, he got to see up close how badly he messed that up. LOL

5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Happy birthday Demi!

I hope I wasn’t the only one that stayed up ’til midnight to ring in Demi Lovato’s 18th birthday!

I even put together this special happy birthday graphic for the event featuring some previously un-posted pics of Demi on her vacation in Cabo.

Also, here’s a video of Demi’s sister Maddie, Meaghan Martin, and Chloe Bridges presenting her with an early birthday cake durring the Jonas Brothers / Demi Lovato / Camp Rock 2 World Tour in Holmdel, NJ on August 17, 2010.

“Wow, premier of Camp Rock 2 today… birthday friday?!! What an awesome week!! So excited for today!!!” – Demi via Twitter.

It sounds like Demi’s having a good week so far!

Today was the world premiere of Camp Rock 2: the Final Jam. Of course, I already saw it because I’m awesome.

The official Disney press release follows.

WORLD PREMIERE OF DISNEY’S “CAMP ROCK 2: THE FINAL JAM”
ROCKS NEW YORK CITY, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18

– Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato and the Movie’s Stars Celebrate with Fans –

With millions of kids and tweens around the world ready for the upcoming premiere of the Disney Channel Original Movie, “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam,” the world premiere screening was hosted at New York’s Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, tonight (Wednesday, August 18). Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato and the stars of the contemporary rock ‘n roll musical, the sequel to the #1 cable movie of 2008, joined in the Midtown New York celebration with over one thousand guests, 100 media from around the world and thousands of fans lining the red carpet.

Sponsored by Verizon, the world premiere event included an appearance by Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, and a performance by Jonas Brothers (Kevin, Joe and Nick), Demi Lovato, Alyson Stoner, Matthew “Mdot” Finley, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle and Jordan Francis. Other guests of honor included cast members Meaghan Martin, Chloe Bridges, Jasmine Richards, Maria Canals-Barrera (of Disney Channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place”), Daniel Fathers, Roshon Fegan (of Disney Channel’s upcoming buddy comedy “Shake it Up”), Daniel Kash and Frankie Jonas, plus screenwriter Dan Berendsen, director Paul Hoen and executive producer Alan Sacks.

The premiere of Disney’s exhilarating rock ‘n roll musical, “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam,” will be presented across Labor Day weekend with four event telecasts -– each celebrating music and dance with a storyline that suggests life is about the way you play. The fun for kids, tweens and families begins FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 and goes through MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT, each night) on Disney Channel. An extended edition of the movie, featuring two exclusive new music numbers, will be available on the Disney Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD on Tuesday, September 7.

The sequel follows Mitchie and her friends as they return to Camp Rock for another great summer of music and fun. But when big-money, state-of-the-art Camp Star opens across the lake, it lures away many instructors and campers — putting the future of Camp Rock in jeopardy. Mitchie emerges as a leader determined to save the camp and challenges the egocentric Luke Williams and his fellow Camp Star campers to a Final Jam — an end-of-summer performance duel, may the best camp win.

“Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam: Extended Edition” featuring two exclusive new music numbers — “Walking in My Shoes” and “Different Summers” — will be available in stores on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital combo-pack, from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.

The movie was written by Dan Berendsen (Disney’s “Hannah Montana The Movie” and “Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie”) and the team of Karin Gist and Regina Hicks. It is based on characters created by Karin Gist, Regina Hicks, Julie Brown and Paul Brown. The director and co-producer is DGA Award winner Paul Hoen (Disney Channel’s “The Cheetah Girls One World” and “Jump In”). The producer is Kevin Lafferty and the executive producer is Alan Sacks. “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” is a production of Coin Flip Productions, Ltd. and Alan Sacks Productions in association with Disney Channel.

Today I attended a special advance screening of Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam The Walt Disney Studios’ Studio Theatre in Burbank, California.

Now, D23′s resident “Disney Geek” and host of today’s festivities specifically asked us not to give away any plot point – particularly the ending. But he did say it was okay to discuss our general feelings on the movie, the songs, and the Q&A session after the film with director Paul Hoen, writer Dan Berendsen, Michael Healy, senior vice president, Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney Channel, and Steven Vincent, vice president, Music and Soundtracks, Disney Channel.

Now that I’ve got that disclaimer out of the way, let me say that Camp Rock 2 was awesome – a huge improvement from the first film. If you read my thoughts about the original Camp Rock, you’ll see that my biggest complaint about the original was the atrocious writing. It was almost as if they wrote the music scenes first and then threw together a few plot points to connect them. That was not the case with camp Rock 2.

As Steven Vincent said about the music, “It was driven by the story .. [we] don’t stop for a song” instead the music moves the story along. In a lot of ways, this film was more musical than the original. It was a full on musical, with a touch of the “Musical about a musical” feel of HSM. Michael Healy said that was a conscious decision to “turn it into a full blown musical” and alluded to a decision as one that made the film less realistic. I can’t really speak to the realism element (I mean, no one ever actually breaks out into song) but I think it was a very good move. The film didn’t have that awkward in between feel of CR1.

As for the overall plot, it’s a very different story than the original. Dan Berendsen explained that “This story is timeless … it’s fighting for something you believe in.” Mitchie is a very different character; she was the outsider before but now she’s a definite leader. If you’ve looked at the soundtrack, you’ll know that Demi has a lot of songs on the soundtrack, and that corresponds to a lot of screen time. Of course, she is the star! Mitchie essentially takes command of Camp Rock following the exodus of most of their staff to Camp Star. The always self-centered Tess Tyler (Meaghan Martin) seemed to learn her lesson from the first movie, but still quickly defected to the other camp thus allowing her to be an antagonist once more. Caitlyn Geller (Alyson Stoner) seemed to have a lot more screen time, although she still didn’t sing much. Joe was actually… dare I say it, kinda good as Shane Gray. The Nate (Nick Jonas) and Dana (Chloe Bridges) subplot was okay; nothing special. Jason (Kevin Jonas) was, as usual, just kinda there. Although there was one good line during the tour bus scene. Maria Canals-Barrera also reprized her role as Mitchie’s mom, but she was hardly even in the film.

Again, I don’t wanna give too much away, but this really is a solid film. Demi gives a very solid performance and the whole team really pulls it together. I give it a 4.5/5, which is among the highest rating I have ever given a DCOM. And what of Camp Rock 3? I think Michael Healy said it best, “Never say never [but] it would be hard to round everybody up.”

But just for fun, I want to share one more though from Senior VP Michael Healy when asked about Disney’s developing talent, he quickly responded “Selena is a fantastic star” then he paused for a moment before continuing, “um, well, Bridgit.” and finally concluding with one final thought, “I wish we had Raven back though.”

This is a great video of the cast and crew of Sonny With A Chance singing, dancing, and lip-syncing to Demi Lovato’s song La La Land.

They put this video together to commemorate the end of filming for Sonny season one.

Doesn’t Demi just look thrilled!

…now I wanna know what they did for the end of season two!

This Sunday August 1st is gonna be a big day with a new Hannah, Charlie, and JONAS!

Well, yesterday Demi did another Shop ‘Til You Rock event at North Point Mall in Alpharetta, Georgia, and SWAC forum member Sierra was there – and she took pictures!

Those are Sierra’s feet. I like the idea!

Isn’t she pretty?

It looks like Demi sure signed a lot of autographs!

I like how she just signs them “Demi” like her last name is totally unnecessary because there are so few Demis out there.

Demi signed a lot of autorgraphs on Saturday, but she couldn’t get to everyone. Another friend of mine (Kaliet, the lead moderator of the SWAC Forum) was there too, but didn’t get to meet her.

She did get to see her at least: “That’s Demi. She was smiling like ‘Oh god, screaming fans.’”
