More ‘Wizards’ Magic on Disney Channel
Disney Channel has extended the third season of hit “Wizards of Waverly Place” with a pickup of eight additional episodes, according to Reuters.
The series that focuses on 3 siblings with magical powers, stars Gomez, David Henrie, Jake T. Austin, Jennifer Stone, Maria Canals-Barrera and David DeLuise.
Why is “Wizards” so great? Disney Channel President Gary Marsh said it best:
“The appeal of ‘Wizards’ is simple: It’s our extraordinary cast. This is undoubtedly one of the strongest comedic ensembles on television.”
Actually I think it’s Selena Gomez. 
But truthfully the ENTIRE cast is great!
This is AWESOME news that we’re getting 8 more episodes of “Wizards” and hopefully we’ll get a FOURTH season as well!!!!

Selena Gomez Ustream Chat 8/29/09
Just in case you missed Selena Gomez’s live chat on Ustream, here is the video transcripts!
I caught it already in progress. Selena, as always, was fun and engaging! She gave some great info on her music, with some behind-the-scenes tidbits and again mentioned her going on tour soon!!! She was chatting the afternoon after the Disney Channel premiere of Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie so that was a bit topic too. She talked about her favorite scene and how David Henrie got her to cry during an emotional scene of the movie.
Selena Gomez Music Details Revealed!
Selena Gomez is a successful TV actress, budding fashionista and now is ready to take on the music scene! Unlike her other Disney pop star friends though, she has decided to make it a group effort by forming a band.
Selena Gomez and the Scene is the name of the Wizards of Waverly Place star’s musical group.
Selena Gomez has been excitedly revealing details about her music, including lots of awesome pictures through her Twitter.
She revealed the cover art for her debut album, Kiss & Tell (see below).
Gomez tweeted: “Here it is!!! I can’t wait for you guys to hear it!”
“It’s fun pop, and it has a dance beat to it. I’ve been working on it for two years, so let’s hope that it’s good.”
Kiss & Tell will be available in stores and iTunes September 29th. A date Selena is VERY excited for: “September 29th cannot come soon enough!!!!!”
The Kiss & Tell tracklist:

The music video “Falling Down” will air after the Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie, which airs on the Disney Channel Friday, August 28, 2009 at 8 pm EST. Selena thinks that the debut of her music video “is all so crazy!!!”
Gomez even hinted at future concert dates!!!
“I cannot wait for you guys to come out and see a show, coming soon!!!!”
I cannot wait either!!! I’ll be sure to purchase tickets as soon as they become available!
After “Falling Down” premiered on the radio, she quickly updated her fans on Twitter. Fellow Disney star and BFF, Demi Lovato congratulated and supported Selena. Here’s their Twitter exchange:
Selena: Yes, I just sat in my car alone crying because I heard my song on the radio for the first time ever!!! I hope you guys liked it!!
Demi: @selenagomez I LOVE your new single
It’s on repeat!!!! SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
Selena: @ddlovato THANK YOU! I still remember playing you the song for the first time at lunch in your trailer!
I’m excited about hearing the songs from “Kiss & Tell.” I already love “Falling Down” so I am sure Selena’s other songs will sound great!!
“Falling Down” is playable on Selena’s MySpace page now and will be available on iTunes August 25!
Selena is very proud of her music and would love to know what you guys think. So let her know!
We’re also interested in your thoughts as well. Leave us feedback here or e-mail us at podcast@magicneverends.com to tell us if you’ll be grabbing her debut album.
Selena tweeted the link to the following fan-made YouTube video. It’s just the song with a static image, but the fact that Selena tweeted about it makes you take notice.
Do You Have What It Takes to Rock Out with Selena Gomez and the Sears Arrive Air Band?
Selena Gomez wants YOU to join her and the Sears Arrive Air Band!
“That’s right, I’m helping Sears search for a fifth member and it could be you,” says the Wizards of Waverly Place star. “Think you have what it takes?”
Selena has teamed up with Sears to inspire teens and tweens to bring out their inner rock star and go back to school with style.
“Music and fashion are two of the ways I really get to express myself,” said Gomez. “I think a lot of kids my age feel the same way. How I am feeling on any given day really influences the type of music I listen to and how I dress and that’s one of the reasons I am working with Sears, because they have such a wide variety of different fashions, you can always find the styles that fit your own personal look.”
We love Selena’s style! She gets an A+ in our grade books for back-to-school fashion.
Okay, corny joke aside… We applaud Sel for expressing herself in fashion and most importantly in age-appropriate fashion ware! Her style shows off her energetic and fun side.
Watch the video below to learn more about how to rock out with Selena Gomez!!!
And if you win…and get to rock out with Selena Gomez, tell her HI for us! And we want to know ALL the details, including pictures!!!
Speaking of pictures, head over to Sears’ Selena Gomez Fashion set on Flickr. Very cute and funny pictures of Miss Gomez!!
Here’s the Press Release for Selena’s involvment with Sears.

Selena Gomez Updates Fans on MySpace Blog on First Album!
The Wizards of Waverly Place star has finished her debut album!!
Gomez quickly went to Twitter and MySpace to give her loyal fans the update. And she’s quick to thank them for their support. She wrote:
 |
|
Selena is so awesome!! And very genuine. Every time I read something from her or hear here give interviews, I believe she’s honest with her fan appreciation.
How cute is she with her enthusiasm about when the album releases?
I think im going to be a little kid running home to his parents showing them my art project when this comes out saying “Do you like it, do you like it?!?!” so in advance I apologize haha
Selena commented that her album art work is complete as well but can’t reveal any photos except to hint “every time I walked out of my dressing room my mom would look at me and say ‘Wow. Selena you would never wear that anywhere else’ plus there were some pretty cool guys that joined me 
”
Now we’re intrigued, Selena!!! She always such neat fashion style so I’m curious to see these different style outfits.
Big news in the form of a Selena Gomez concert tour? I’m buying my tickets now!!
Now I’m starting band rehearsals with some awesome guys. We will be working really, really hard together to try and make an awesome concert for you guys!
Unfortunately, she only wrote one song. Hm. Normally what impresses me about singing acts is their ability to write songs. I feel that validates the artist a bit more as you’re putting more of yourself into the music. She confesses that she wants her first album “to be fun, energetic, empowering but very good so with that said I did not write any of the songs but one on the record.”
Maybe she wanted to limit the chances taken on her first full musical venture? Makes sense. Since I’m big-time Selena Gomez fan, I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. She elaborated that music is still new to her and she’s learning about herself musically. I’ve enjoyed “Fly to Your Heart” from the Tinker Bell soundtrack, “Magic” and “Everything Is Not What It Seems” from the Wizards soundtrack…and of course “One and the Same” which she sings with real-life BFF Demi Lovato!!
So I can understand that she might want to start out slow to figure out better where she wants to and what she wants to explore in her music.
I might be as eager to hear her music as she is to release it!
Now, for those of you who are even considering purchasing my record promise me this, once it is in your hands or illegally downloaded, you will go into your room, car, house, school or your best friends cousins aunts house turn the volume up really, really loud sit down and if you do not get a sudden urge to get up and dance, scream, yell or move whatsoever, I have failed.
Very funny about the “illegally downloaded” comment. First we’d never think to download musical illegally. Second, if we did (not that we’re admitting to it), why would we do so on your new album!! We want to drive up record sales!!
I love the personal challenge from Selena. I love that she’s again stating her goal to make “fun, energetic, empowering” music for us!
I’m certain that Selena’s first album will be a hit!! And I can’t wait to blast her music in all the places I listen to music…and also get up and move and groove!!
Congrats, Selena, on completing your debut album and can’t wait to hear it!!!
Taylor Swift Sends Selena Gomez Birthday Flowers
Just not the ones you think.
Remember these pictures that Selena Gomez posted to her Twitter page?
People reported that Taylor Swift had sent her good friend a birthday surprise in the form of a huge flower arrangement on the set of Wizards of Waverly Place. We all assumed it was the yellow roses, Selena tweeted about to us. Well, the Disney Channel star sets the record straight to Bop & Tiger Beat:
Even though, those weren’t Taylor’s flowers, that’s still VERY AWESOME that she sent Selena birthday flowers!
According to a Disney Channel spokesperson, Taylor contacted them to see if it was ok to send her friend the flowers, which obviously Disney authorized. Very responsible of Taylor. That’s probably why Selena never received our flowers! Dang! (just kidding)
We’re glad that Selena had a wonderful birthday full of happiness and surprises! And so great that she has wonderful friends like Taylor.
Here’s a cute picture of the young celebs together last September.

New ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ Episode Preview: Wizards Vs Vampires
Next Friday begins the exciting 4-part Wizards of Waverly Place Saga: Wizards Vs. Vampires. Be sure to tune into the Disney Channel at 8pm on Friday, July 24, 2009!
Watch the Preview Here:
‘Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana’ Becomes Most Watched Scripted Telecast of 2009
Kids 6-11 and Tweens 9-14 powered the extravaganza event that crossed over stars and storylines from Wizards of Waverly Place, The Suite Life on Deck and Hannah Montana into the most watched scripted telecast of 2009. The 90-minute presentation also became cable’s No. 1 telecast in those same demographics. In fact, only NBC’s “Super Bowl XLIII” coverage beat Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana as the most watched TV telecast among Kids 6-11.
Nickelodeon sent it’s First Night of a Weekend-Long 10th Anniversary Spongebob Celebration (which featured an original episode at 8pm) against the Disney Channel telecast and lost big time. Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana dominated the rival network’s event by more than doubling it in Total Viewers (9.3 million viewers versus 3.6 million) and more than tripling in core kid demographics (Kids 6-11: 3.8 million vs. 1.2 million and Tweens 9-14: 3.7 million vs 982,000).
This crossover greatly improved upon the first crossover, That’s Suite Life of Hannah Montana. There’s still the problem of juggling all the characters of three shows. Mostly the minor characters, such as Harper from Wizards of Waverly Place and Oliver, Rico and Jackson from Hannah Montana, stayed on their shows and didn’t crossover. Actually the Suite Life on Deck characters cross-overed to the other two shows. And my only criticism of the event was it had too much of the Suite Life characters, but as their show’s setting was the crossover’s setting, I guess that makes sense. I just really wanted to see some Miley-Selena screen time.
We’ll review more in-depth this record setting cross over event on a future blog post as well as on a future episode of The Magic Never Ends Podcast. Stay tuned!
And if you haven’t seen 2009′s Most Watched Scripted Telecast, or want to see it again, watch it TONIGHT, Sunday, July 19, at 8pm on the Disney Channel.

Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana Crossover airs THIS Friday at 8pm!
Nine stars from three shows all aboard the S.S. Tipton for crazy Disney Channel fun!
Don’t miss this special event this Friday at 8pm to the Disney Channel.
Disney did a fantastic job with their first crossover event, That’s So Suite Life of Hannah Montana, which brought episodes of the Suite Life of Zack & Cody, That’s So Raven and Hannah Montana together. I’m more excited by this second crossover event. We will get to see great pairings from the various shows, as well as Hannah Montana and London Tipton catching up from the last crossover event. Too bad Ashley Tisdale isn’t on Suite Life on Deck. I enjoyed her character (Maddie Fitzpatrick) sharing screen time with Hannah in That’s So Suite Life of Hannah Montana.
Disney also announced it will release the 90-minute, 3-part event on Disney DVD on September 22, 2009. Special features will include cast bloopers and behind-the-scene footage.
Read the plot for Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana below. Then watch the Disney Channel commercial.
Part 1: “Cast-Away (To Another Show)”
Part 1 is Episode 25 of Season 2 of Wizards of Waverly Place. Justin (David Henrie) is excited to meet London Tipton (Brenda Song) when he wins an essay contest prize: a cruise on the SS Tipton. Alex (Selena Gomez) and Max (Jake T. Austin) join Justin onboard, where Alex bonds with new friend Bailey (Debby Ryan), but soon gets in hot water when she uses magic to bring Harper (Jennifer Stone) aboard. Meanwhile, Max and Zack (Dylan Sprouse) compete in a series of outrageous challenges.
Part 2: “Double-Crossed”
Part 2 is Episode 21 of Season 1 of The Suite Life On Deck. Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) boards the SS Tipton on her way to a concert performance in Honolulu. To impress Bailey, Cody (Cole Sprouse) enlists Woody (Matthew Timmons) to help him get tickets. Meanwhile, the Russos use a little magic to spice up their vacation – Alex pulls a prank on Justin, for which Mr. Moseby (Phill Lewis) blames Zack, while Max introduces London to a magical suitcase.
Part 3: “Super(Stitious) Girl”
Part 3 is Episode 19 of Season 3 of Hannah Montana. While on the ship deck, Miley loses the charm ankle bracelet that her mother gave her and when things start to go wrong, she is sure it’s because she lost her lucky charm also London finds it. Miley as Hannah asks her to give it back but London refuses. Meanwhile, Cody tells Bailey that he has a close friendship with Hannah and promises great seats to her concert but Alex also says she and Bailey can go 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:
Hey everyone– I had fun going live on the phone the other day I am going to do it again this Sunday @ 10am California time. Topic: Wizards of Waverly Place the Movie. Give me a call 214 306 9590. Talk to ya Sunday.
Enjoy this recent TwitPic from Selena, in which she wrote “One more from today at the shoot… Ever since Ash was in town I have been drinking iced tea like crazy.. Reminds me of home.”
Very cute picture!
