Debby Ryan is Kim Possible

Oh. Em. Gee. https://twitter.com/TheDebbyRyan/status/261173181333766144 Debby went as Kim Possible, THE Kim Possible, to Just Jared's Halloween bash.

Debby Ryan as Kim Possible

Obviously, she looks amazing. But even more than that, it is so totally awesome that she's a Kim Possible fan! https://twitter.com/TheDebbyRyan/status/262358622921707520 As I'm sure some of you know, I was one of the founding members of the original SaveKimPossible.com and the site that grew out of it, SaveDisneyShows.org.

Debby Ryan as Kim Possible

Disney has all but abandoned Kim, long ago pulling reruns from the air and this past summer replacing the KP World Showcase Adventure at EPCOT with an updated Perry the Platypus themed overlay. So it makes me very happy to see Debs reminding us all of the show. :)

Debby Ryan as Kim Possible

Here's one more pic of her at the party hanging out with the lovely Sarah Hyland. And if I find more from the party (oh how I hope there is more) I will be sure to let you all know. :)

ANT Farm Renewed for Season 3

... but it sounds like they're changing things up quite dramatically in the 3rd season. I have absolutely no proof of this, but it kinda sounds to me like someone decided they weren't gonna do a third season and as a result they destroyed the season two sets. Then someone else looked at the overall ratings and decided they needed it after all and this is twist what they came up with. I also suspect we won't be seeing much if any of Paisley, Chyna's parents, Wacky, and Principal Skidmore in this new season. Although, Allie tweeted that she "can't wait to get back" so hopefully we will be seeing more of Paisley. *fingers crossed* https://twitter.com/AllieDeBerry/status/253308951360335872 Disney's official press release follows.

(Advanced Natural Talents) boarding school. With an unconventional curriculum and the opportunity to learn from other students in the program, the A.N.T.s strive to take their abilities to the next level. "'A.N.T.
