I wasn’t so sure about the non-blond Ashley Tisdale. I thought she looked great as a blond, playing Maddie Fitzpatrick on The Suite Life of Zack & CodyHigh School Musical and then as Sharpay in the movies. But I’m digging this new look Ashley Tisdale! It’s a good change for her – to show she’s growing up from the young Disney star.
Is Guilty Pleasure on your list to pick up this Tuesday?

‘Tron Legacy’ Revealed by Disney at SDCC and on Facebook
Today, simultaneously at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con and on Facebook, Walt Disney Pictures reveals the official name and logo for the Tron sequel: Tron Legacy.
Announced at the Comic Con panel is that the new movie is still about a year away from completion. Concept art of the new lightcycles and car versions of the lightcycles were revealed.
I’m glad the earlier reports of the new movie just simply being called Tron were incorrect. Tron Legacy sounds cool. And since it’s been 27 years since the original movie, the “legacy” name could really work.
What do you think? Are you excited for Tron Legacy? Do you like this official name? Tell us what you think!
Updated ‘Alice’ Photos on Walt Disney Pictures Facebook Page
Simply stunning display of colors and maddness!
Walt Disney Pictures released new photos from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. And they are both beautiful and distrubing (in a good way!).
I’m so far loving all the images coming from Disney on this film. Tim Burton seems to have really captured the essence of Wonderland! I’m digging all the vivid colors.
Check out the Alice in Wonderland photos on Walt Disney Pictures Backklot’s Facebook Photo Album.

Demi Lovato began a weekly video chat series so I was hoping that other Disney stars would follow suit. As being a big fan of 78violet, I’m so very glad to get my fix! Unfortunately, they didn’t tour this year so I couldn’t rock out with them in concert – something I had been getting used to doing a couple times a year for the past two years.
I imagine that the big topic will be their name change. Why did they change from Aly and AJ, a name they’ve used since 2005, to 78violet? Do the girls think this change will hurt their already established fan base and brand image?
Thus far fan response has been favorable. Fans of the singing duo love them for their music so whatever they call themselves, we will still buy their CDs and attend their concerts.
Maybe this name change is their shift from being to “just a teen pop act” to a more mature sound? 78violet sounds more like a rock band than a duet.
What questions do you have for Aly and AJ / 78violet? Make sure you attend their Live Video Chat on Thursday, July 16, 2009 at 9pm EST / 6pm PST!!!

Attempt to switch tracks may have caused Disney monorail crash
National Transportation Safety Board to investigate incident
On Monday in an unprecedented move, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) stated it will investigate the fatal crash of two Walt Disney World monorail. The federal agency is best known for probing airline crashes.
Initial reports from other investigators Sunday, indicated that the accident occurred from a track switch that never happened.
An Orlando Sentinel article from last night outlines the timeline of the collision.
The 2 a.m. Sunday collision occurred as one of Disney’s trains was supposed to utilize a transfer spur to move from the resort’s Epcot line to a Magic Kingdom line so it could return to the system’s maintenance bay for the night.
Instead the switch didn’t occurr and the train apparently moved in reverse back down the Epcot line. The onboard collision-avoidance system likely was set on override. The train slammed into a second train with a handful of passengers on board.
Austin Wuennenberg, 21, a monorail pilot on the second train was killed. He is being remembered fondly on various social networks, such as Twitter and Facebook. Disney has stated that none of the guests were injured. The pilot of the other monorail, who has yet to be identified, was not seriously injured.
Disney World will reopen monorail — with extra safety features
After the deadly Sunday 2am Walt Disney World monorail crash, the Orlando Sentinel is reporting that the Disney monorail has resumed operation. The publication cited a note to Walt Disney World employees this morning, stating that new safety sensors were added to monitor track switches. Per the note, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration “released” the monorail system back to the resort.
Investigators will continue their search into what caused a deadly crash early Sunday following Fourth of July fireworks shows.
The predawn collision occurred as one of the trains was being transferred off the system’s Epcot line, which ferries guests between the Magic Kingdom and Epcot, according to Disney’s note. Austin Wuennenberg, 21, was the lone fatality.
Wuennenberg described fondly his monorail pilot job on Facebook. He felt is was “running the highway in the sky.”
As the news broke Sunday morning, people rushed to social networking sites, like Twitter and Facebook, to discuss the sad event.
Austin is being remember on Twitter with people adding the hash tag #Austin to their tweets.
A Facebook Group was constructed to honor the memory for the Disney monorail driver. Click here to join.
