Selena Gomez

Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez are One And The Same

Real-life BFFs Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez starred in the friendship movie, Princess Protection Program on the Disney Channel.  The movie is now available on Disney DVD, which includes another team-up of the two friends – singing the film’s poppy, fun theme song “One And The Same.”

I love the special effects the director employs to reinforce the song’s theme.

Ever since I’ve heard it, I can’t help singing this song.  The music video makes the song more memorable as you can tell that Demi and Selena are having too much fun singing and acting out scenes in the music video.  Their great friendship, and the fun they have with each other, is contagious!

Demi and Selena, your fans want more collabations together!!

Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie Soundtrack

To coincide with Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie, Disney is releasing a soundtrack to movie.  Premiering in August, Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie will air on the Disney Channel as part of the network’s Summer of Stars.

Here’s the Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie Soundtrack Listing:

1. Disappear – Selena Gomez
2. Magical – Selena Gomez
3. Magic (Pilot) – Selena Gomez
4. Strange Magic – Steve Rushton
5. Magic (The Cars) – Honor Society
6. Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic – Mitchel Musso
7. Magic Carpet Ride – KSM
8. Magic (Xanadu) – Meaghan Martin
9. You Can Do Magic – Drew Seeley
10. Some Call It Magic Raven – Symoné
11. Do You Believe in Magic – Aly & AJ
12. Everything Is Not As It Seems – Selena Gomez

Now listen to samples from the album:

Unfortunately, I’m not not overly excited about this soundtrack.  I love Aly & AJ (now called 78violet), but their contribution to the album is song that already appeared on “Into the Rush.”  Selena Gomez does sing four of the twelve songs on the soundtrack, so if I’m purchasing it I’m buying it for Selena.  More likely I’ll purchase the Selena Gomez songs off iTunes.

It’s obvious Disney decided to just remake songs that have magic in the title, since it’s for a movie about Wizards.  While it’s neat to hear the Disney music stars’ rendition of these pop classics, I’d much rather Disney offer original music for the Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie.


A Chance to Talk with Selena LIVE!

Selena Gomez is giving her fans a chance to talk with her through SayNow.  She announced it on her Facebook page:

‘Wizards on Deck With Hannah Montana’ coming July 17

The Disney Channel brings three of its shows together for another Crossover Event!

Last time it was the That’s so Suite Life of Hannah Montana which brought the stars of That’s So Raven, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and Hannah Montana together.  Crossovers are very tricky.  It’s not always easy to blend different styles together.  Inevitably a character or show element is short-changed for the sake of the crossover.  The Disney Channel writes masterfully brought together those three shows to form an almost sleemless story.  It wasn’t perfect but it made for a great hour and a half event!

I hoped that the That’s so Suite Life of Hannah Montana had reached a level of success for The Disney Channel so they’d bring together three more shows again.  I hoped for Hannah, Wizards of Waverly Place, and Sonny With A Chance.  Recently, Selena Gomez guest starred brilliantly on Sonny as herself, thus establishing in “the Sonny Universe” that Wizards of Waverly Place is just a TV show.  Though I doubt the Disney Channel would hold tight to continuity if it meant preventing them from bringing some of their hit franchises together.

Premiering at 8pm July 17, 2009 on the Disney Channel, the crossover event is called Wizards on Deck With Hannah Montana.

The Celebrity Cafe has a break down on the crossover event as well the contest that is coinciding with the event.

Wizards Of Waverly Place: The Movie – Full Length Trailer

During the Friday, June 26 premiere of Disney Channel’s Princess Protection Program, we received an extra special treat in the form of the full-length trailer of Wizards of Waverly Place:  The Movie!  The two-hour movie version stars all the series regulars and will premiere on the Disney Channel August 1 at 8pm.

The movie deals with the Russo family vacation gone wrong.  Parents Jerry and Theresa decide to celebrate their anniversary at the Carribbean resort where they first met, bringing their children along.  Alex (Selena Gomez) becomes upset at the lack of freedom she’s given.  In a fit of anger, she wishes her parents had never met, casting a time reversal spell causing her parents to not meet.

With her brothers Justin and Alex, they must journey into the jungle to find the Stone of Dreams to reverse the spell and save the family.

Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie looks like a winner!  The TV show is fun and the movie version seems to have captured that essence, along with a bit of extra added action and suspense.  Check out the full-length trailer below!
