The live audience taping for the first episode was yesterday, March 11th 2010, at the Sunset Gower Studios in Hollywood and I was there, well, outside the studio at least.

Normally, they let the ticketed public in according to how soon they get there which is why I made sure to get there three hours early. But this time, there where Disney Execs there who wanted to see how the show played with their “target demographic.” So they cherry picked people from the line that had young boys with them. And of course, they keep the rest of us waiting and don’t tell us what they’re doing until thy’re ready to send us all home.

Dang it.

But you know what? It’s okay. I wanted to tell the cast and crew about Pair-of-Kings.com and I’ll get another chance.

Plus I still had fun in Hollywood.

I poked around a little while at Hollywood & Highland and went back to the Disney Soda Fountain & Studio Store

And I must say, there where a lot of posters for Miley’s “The Last Song”! Here’s another one, I must have seen at least a dozen.

@AlexKade13 was on the set yesterday for an exclusive filming set up for her by Creator Todd Greenwald himself. She says of the episode they shot: “Todd specifically told us not to say anything about the ep since it’s the season finale, in particular.”

Then today, Selena tweeted this picture of their “last table read of season 3…. ”

But, if they filmed the episode yesterday, why the table read today? That seems backward. Maybe she meant to say it was yesterday? Either that or there’s one more episode after the one Alex saw yesterday.

Anyway, we’re pretty sure that the show has been renewed for a fourth season. Todd just tweeted this picture:

With the caption: “Relax everybody. Now you can go back to not doing your homework. ”

Selena added: “P.s. Wizards is not over. We’ll be back ”

Which I guess is as close to a confirmation of a renewal as we’re likely to get.

For this reason, we will be suspending the Save Wizards campaign until further notice. And if something changes, we’ll be ready and waiting.

And to help tide you over until the next new episode, here’s a pic of Jake & Selena on set last week.

Hellcats” centers on a college girl from the wrong side of the tracks (Michalka) who, after losing her scholarship because of budget cutbacks and her mother’s (Gail O’Grady) chronic irresponsibility, joins the Hellcats, the college’s competitive cheerleading team.

And another article,

The CW pilot Hellcats, produced by Tom Welling, now has cast its lead actress as well as another role.

Aly Michalka (Phil of the Future) plays a “college girl from the wrong side of the tracks” who loses her scholarship due to budget cutbacks and her mother’s continuous irresponsibility. Her mother will be played by Gail O’Grady (NYPD Blue, Hidden Palms).

The pilot, which will be directed by Allan Arkush and feature many Smallville folks in the behind-the-scenes crew, starts shooting in April, soon after Smallville wraps for the season.

Okay, so there’s not much here to go on, but I’m still excited. I’ve loved Aly ever since her work on Phil of the Future and I’m giddy just at the thought of seeing her on TV again.

Speaking of Phil, here’s a recent twitter pic of Aly Michalka & Raviv Ullman.

From the looks of the plastic wrap around the cameras, I don’t think the weather was cooperating that day…

Anyway, Debby looks amazing and I’m looking forward to seeing this movie.

Disney’s official press release follows

“16 Wishes” – This movie comedy, starring Debby Ryan (Disney Channel’s “The Suite Life on Deck”) and Jean-Luc Bilodeau (ABC Family’s “Kyle XY”), tells the story of Abby, a girl who’s been eager to reach her 16th birthday and has kept a secret wish list since she was a little girl. But, when the big day actually arrives, she makes a wish that changes everything. The movie is a co-production of MarVista Entertainment and Disney Channel, and is slated to premiere on Disney Channel in the U.S. in summer 2010.

They’re gonna air the show immediately following the DC premiere of High School Musical 3. A year ago I would have considered that a major event, but it’s been loon enough that I think most HSM fans have already watched their DVD copies several hundred times.

Personally, I would have gone with a Wizards marathon or a Minutemen & Hatching Pete double feature lead in, but for some strange reason, Disney Channel programing never seems to ask my opinion…

Disney’s press release follows:

“Good Luck Charlie” — Disney Channel will premiere this sitcom designed for the whole family to enjoy together – an original live-action series about a family whose lives are turned topsy-turvy with the arrival of a new baby sister — on SUNDAY, APRIL 4 (8:30 p.m., ET/PT). In each episode, big sister Teddy creates a personalized video diary for baby Charlie, with each installment chronicling daily adventures and mishaps for Charlie to use as advice when her big sister is no longer living at home. Created and executive-produced by Phil Baker and Drew Vaupen (“Suddenly Susan” and “What I Like About You”) and executive-produced by Dan Staley (“Cheers,” “Love & Money”), the series stars Bridgit Mendler (“Wizards of Waverly Place”), Jason Dolley (“Cory in the House,” “Hatching Pete”), Bradley Steven Perry, Eric Allan Kramer (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “My Name Is Earl”) and Leigh-Allyn Baker (“Will & Grace).

(Disney disabled embedding, sorry. Click the pic to see the video.)

We get a pretty good look at “Falling for the Falls” and several other SWAC season two episodes.

Are you excited yet?

If so, I invite you to join the best group of SWAC fans online. And by best, I man craziest. <3

And remember, we also have some other promo videos and stills from “Walk a Mile in my Pants.”

While we’re on the subject, Happy 21st Birthday to Sterling Knight!

Okay, she’s not hard at work in these candids, but she’s on her way to the recording studio, so close enough.

Besides, she’s lookin’ pretty fantastic.

And I’m not normally a dog person, but I have to say that’s an adorable doggy she has with her.

Bye Milez. Click any pic to see the full set.

She seems to have a thing for strapless dresses recently.

Which is perfectly fine with me. She has this sort of causal elegance thing going on.

Be sure to click any pic to see the rest of the set.

Well, it looks like they wanted to premiere the new episode on Disney XD instead. Makes sense, I guess.

BEN STILLER AND CHRISTINE TAYLOR GUEST STAR IN
A SUPERHERO EPISODE OF “PHINEAS AND FERB,”
PREMIERING MONDAY, MARCH 8 ON DISNEY XD

Emmy Award-winning Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor guest star in an action-packed episode of TV’s #1 animated series for kids and tweens, “Phineas and Ferb,” premiering MONDAY, MARCH 8 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney XD. It will also be presented Friday, March 12 (9:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel. The real-life husband and wife are the parents of “Phineas and Ferb” fans.

In the episode entitled “The Beak,” Stiller voices a super villain and Taylor plays his nagging wife. Stiller’s character arrives in Danville to challenge Phineas and Ferb after the boys are mistaken as a superhero (while wearing an indestructible suit they designed to safely conquer their newly built extreme skate-track) known as The Beak. With the super villain wreaking havoc, it’s up to Phineas and Ferb to thwart him while Dr. Doofenshmirtz tells the people of the Tri-State area that he is in charge, in hopes that they will actually just go along with it.

“Phineas and Ferb” airs on Disney XD and Disney Channels in more than 135 countries and in 26 languages around the world. In the U.S., “Phineas and Ferb” has ranked as TV’s #1 animated series among Kids 6-11 and Tweens 9-14 for two consecutive years. In addition, “Phineas and Ferb” is Disney XD’s #1 animated series in key demos. The series carries a TV-G parental guideline.

It looks like they’re giving the series a bit of a “reboot” – probably in response to season one’s sub-par ratings.

PRODUCTION HAS BEGUN ON THE SECOND SEASON OF DISNEY CHANNEL’S
HIT COMEDY SERIES “JONAS,” STARRING MULTI-PLATINUM RECORDING ARTISTS JONAS BROTHERS

–Debi Mazar and Adam Hicks Join in Recurring Roles–

Production has begun in and around Los Angeles on the second season of the Teen Choice Award-winning comedy series, “JONAS,” starring global sensations Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas and popular actresses Chelsea Staub and Nicole Anderson. The new season finds the Lucas brothers and friends Stella and Macy spending a summer in Hollywood.

In Season Two of “JONAS,” rock stars Kevin, Joe and Nick Lucas have landed in Los Angeles, where they have rented a Hollywood Hills house and will experience a summer like no other when their relaxing vacation turns into three life-changing opportunities: Joe lands a prized role in a big Hollywood film, Kevin indulges his newfound passion for the movie business by shadowing a famous director, and Nick takes up surfing and feverishly works on his first passion – writing songs for the new JONAS album. Completing the entourage are the guys’ best friends, Stella Malone, who continues to grapple with being more than just a friend to Joe, and Macy Misa, who keeps all the fans up to date with her JONAS V-log.

Recurring guest stars are Debi Mazar (“Entourage”) as Mona, the mercurial and eccentric film director at the helm of the movie Joe stars in; Adam Hicks (of Disney XD’s “Zeke and Luther”) as DZ, the brothers’ posturing neighbor; and Abby Pivaronas (“Lincoln Heights”) as Vanessa Page, Joe’s beautiful movie co-star. Chaperoning the fun are the Lucas Brothers’ friend and chief of security, Big Man (played by Jonas Brothers’ real-life chief of security, Rob Feggans), and Stella’s Aunt Lisa, played by Beth Crosby (“All My Children”). Throughout the season, “JONAS” will feature all-new original songs performed by Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas.

“JONAS” is executive-produced by Lester Lewis (“The Office,” “The Larry Sanders Show”) and Paul Hoen (director and co-producer of “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam,” DGA Award-winning director of “Jump In!,” and “The Cheetah Girls One World,” among others). The series was created by Roger S.H. Schulman and Michael Curtis.
