PUNK'D (aka THE VIDEO POST)

I'm sure the majority of you are familiar with Ashton Kutcher's MTV show, PUNK'D... but if you're not, here's the 411. This is a show where Ashton Kutcher goes around playing pranks on some of the hottest celebrities in Hollywood. Although these stars are being humiliated and put into intensely awkward and bizzare situations while being tricked for millions of television viewers to see, being PUNK'D means that YOU HAVE MADE IT IN SHOWBIZ!!... aka YOU ARE SOMEBODY! So you can only imagin how excited I was when I turned on my television to witness a SEASON PREVIEW of the new season of PUNK'D ... and lo-and-behold, you will never guess who gets PUNK'D!!

ZAC EFRON!
(I can't find streaming video for this one, but once I do, I swear I'll post it!)


ALYSON MICHALKA (from Aly and A.J.)

(actual streaming video!)

ASHLEY TISDALE!!
(I can't find streaming video for this one either... but once I do, I'll post it!)

This was THE FUNNIEST PUNK'D episode I have EVER seen!! So basically what happens is that Ashley pays a visit to a hospital to visit all the sick children... and then she sees this one boy who had been in a coma for a month, and his mother asks her to sing to him. When the mother leaves, the boy wakes up and whispers, "pssst! i'm not really in a coma, i'm just pretending so that i won't have to go to school"... and the look on Ashley's face is HILARIOUS. I HAVE TO find a link to this video and show it to you guys- it's the best PUNK'D I've ever seen!!

Moving on... while looking for videos on YouTube.com of members from The Disney Channel Circle of Stars,... guess what I stumbled upon!
... Yup, THAT'S RIGHT! Before the new crew recorded A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes (the video is shown on the very bottom right of this blog), the PAST members of The Disney Channel Circle of Stars recorded THIS:

The Lion King's CIRCLE OF LIFE

SICK OF TELEVISION? (Although I highly doubt ANYONE could ever get sick of the Disney Channel)... then why don't you grab a parent/boyfriend/girlfriend/friend/child/etc... and go watch the NEW Disney Movie out in Theatres:

MEET THE ROBINSONS

Today, I dragged a very un-willing date along with me to see this movie (you see, he truly believes that he's too old for these types of movies... but being 21, my mindset is that YOU CAN NEVER OUTGROW DISNEY)- but after the movie, I was pleased to find out that my date actually enjoyed it! Yes, I must admit that the movie DID start out quite slowly (and the Mickey Mouse cartoon in the very beginning was pretty dry/boring)... but overall, this movie was highly interesting, funny, and held a couple of unexpected "twists" throughout. And just like Classic Disney style, there were a couple of tear-jerker moments... especially at the end. So if you haven't seen it yet, I HIGHLY recommend going to see it before it leaves theatres!!

However, I was somewhat disappointed to discover that the song, KIDS OF THE FUTURE by THE JONAS BROTHERS didn't make it into the movie... or even in the credits!! I felt ROBBED, especially since they kept advertising their music video on the Disney Channel for being on the soundtrack... but I guess that's where it made it: ONTO THE SOUNDTRACK, BUT NOT INTO THE MOVIE! ... boooo... oh well. :( if you don't know what I'm talking about, here's the music video for your viewing pleasure:


And I don't even know WHY I thought this song was going to make it into the movie (maybe because it's about the future?...), anyhoo, I must admit... I LOVE IT!! Here's the JONAS BROTHERS with YEAR 3000


Another movie you might want to check out is the new one, coming out from PIXARthis Summer. From the makers of Toy Story, Cars, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, etc...... I present to you:


RATATOUILLE

While we're on the topic of DISNEY MOVIES, does THIS image look familiar?

Oh, it does now, eh? Well that's because after Walt Disney parted with Columbia Pictures, he created his OWN film-distribution company in 1953 called Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, Inc. So, the reason why this image looks so familiar is because it has been in the opening credits of SO MANY Disney features including, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, etc... as well as other television shows (i.e. Boy Meets World, Desperate Housewives, Live with Regis and Kelly, etc...) ... well, according to many different sources, DISNEY will be RETIRING BUENA VISTA starting MAY of 2007 ... :( Instead, they will be changing the name to (straight up) DISNEY in order to "leverage the Disney brand as much as possible and not [have] all these disparate names" oh well. peace out to Buena Vista!
