The parents of Hannah Montana fans might want to keep in mind Demi Lovato as the name of the next teen queen.

The Disney Channel has cast the 15-year-old singer-actress as the star of its new live-action comedy series “Welcome to Mollywood.”

“Our success is completely driven by the talent we partner with — in front of and behind the camera,” said Gary Marsh, president, Entertainment, Disney Channels Worldwide. “The entire ‘Mollywood’ creative team is the best in the business when it comes to creating break-out kid and family comedy. And Demi Lovato — actress, singer and songwriter — is without a doubt the next big talent to emerge from Disney Channel.”

“Welcome to Mollywood,” the sitcom’s working title, centers on 15-year-old Molly (Lovato), a Midwestern girl who wins a nationwide search to move to Los Angeles and join the cast of the most popular teen sketch comedy show on TV. The series will feature a show-within-a-show, with fully produced comedy sketches.

Tiffany Thornton, Tawni Hart, Brandon Mychal Smith, Doug Brochu and Allisyn Ashley Arm will co-star.

Production will begin in September for a premiere during the 2008-’09 season.

Lovato first gained fame in the short form comedy series “As the Bell Rings” on the Disney Channel. She next stars in two Disney Channel Original Movies: “Camp Rock” with the Jonas Brothers, premiering June 20, and the upcoming “Princess Protection Program” with pal Selena Gomez. Lovato also landed a solo recording contract with Disney’s Hollywood Records and will perform this summer on the Jonas Brothers “Burning Up” concert tour.

Honestly, I think there might be some potential here, but it will really depend on the quality of the writing and the chemistry of the cast.

  4. whoever he is, he’s shorter than her and hes grabbing her ass. get off her! shes 15!

  5. Is that really Toejam? Nice and yea he’s grabbing her ass well. I guess I could understand why he is by the picture

  6. Uh yea, that is her thigh not her butt, learn your body parts

  7. who the hell cares? i dont really give a shit if it was ass, it still looks like it

  8. so i dont need to “learn my body parts” im jus saying it realy looks like it

  9. Ummmm 🙂
    I think Demi is a great girl and she can do whatever she wants and nobody has to tell her what to do
    If she wants that guy she can have him but whoever can break her heart
    Bye bye 🙂 [[ peace ]]

  11. yeah;
    this isnt good for her career.
    i believe shes a sweet and very talented girl.
    but as a disney channel watcher and aunt of 3 little girls this isnt the kind of girl a parent would want to have their daughter look up to.
    this is a little too rated PG13.
    i was a demi lovato fan until now.
    didnt see that coming.

  12. You guys chill! She’s probably like out with some friends! She’s 15! Let her live her life! I think she knows what to do! Maybe she likes him and he likes her!? God!

  14. I mean I love Demi as much, probably more, besides shes 1 of my myspace friends, but anyways, I am not against her because of this 1 thing, but she does what she wants to she’s 15 turning 16, so if she likes him, fine, i don’t really care, but I am just saying I don’t her and this pic 2 get out 2 the media or any more of these types of pics and then they make so stupid controversy over it, and twist everything, well I love u Demi. Peace

  16. I dont see why everyone makes such a big deal of these pictures and celebritys.
    Im sure if she wasn’t a disney star, nobody would mind.
    It’s just a picture!
    They are just posing.
    It would be a different thing if she was in a sex tape, but jeez, it’s just a picture, nothing wrong with that!
    keep going demi, your very talented!

    peace!

  17. so um u people really need a reality check…like hello its just probably a pose! LET HER HAVE HER fun gees.

  18. What Demi does is fine unless she does what Miley did. Seth and Demi look hot as a couple, and yeah he’s grabin’ her but they are cool.

  20. You are soo right cappy. What miley did ruined her. Demi is just having fun with friends. Not everyone is perfect. Come on…..like you never did it?

  21. Camp Rock was a very good movie. They do make a cute couple. In from the Jonas Brothers i like Nick he’s so cute and he got a great voice so does Joe, and Joe is cute he got cute lips.lol !
    well okay bye =0)

  22. Ok ana, there is no way that is drake bell. drake bell is like in his 20s and he has a mustache. and i think ppl should stop insulting demi cuz i bet other 15 year olds do way worse stuff than that. that isnt even bad @ all. she is just being a normal 15 year old. its not her fault that ppl dont like it. its just the way 15 year olds are so GET OVER IT!

  23. OMG! You guys seriously need a life. This is probably just one of her friends, and even if it is her boyfriend, like it really matters. It looks like they were just trying to make a funny picture. Oh and he is NOT grabbing her ass, he is holding on her thigh. I love you Demi, good luck with your career!

  27. That is TOTALLY NOT Seth Ginsberg! I f it was he would be shorter and that kind of looks a lot more like Danny on As the bell rings. And i love Demi Lovato she is my role model she is so talented! She rocks!!!

  28. yo people shes just a 16 year old let her live her life! leave her alone. she dosent need anymore pressure from other people! people are not perfect! this isent even a bad picture! Shes just having fun with her friends. Demi Lovato is a sweet, caring wonderful girl that i will always support! Peace out! LOVE YOU DEMI!!!

  29. Demi Lovato Rock And Shes Way Better Than Miley And Just Because Of 1 Picture It Dosent Mean We Should Hate Her I Actually Talked To Her And Shes One Of The Nicest Ppl On EARTH So Go Fall In A Ditch And Stay There Demi-Haters!

  30. okay first of all that is not her ass second of all she probably isnt thinking and demi wouldnt do something bad!

    love u demi

  31. It’s hard to tell if his hand is touching her ass, her thigh, or not touching her at all.

    I don’t either where really concerned about, so I don’t see why any of us should care one way or another.

  32. wth are you guys making a big thing out og do you even know if their even playing around..!!!
    they might be friends you never know and what if they went out..wowowowowow!!his not even holding her ass his jsut brabbing her thigh!!!

  33. atleast demi’s better then miley cyrus…demi knows her limit for disney channel and she knows when she can play around so if you guys dont know anything about thiz pic dont be making guesses about this guy and her!!

  34. fo sure Demi is *BETTER* than Miley,,
    shes pretty and talented,
