ABC Keeps "Cougar Town" Name

The decision has finally been made that ABC’s sitcom “Cougar Town” will NOT be changing its name after all! Months have gone by of going back and forth about wanting to change the name of the show, executive producer, Bill Lawrence, has confirmed that they will be sticking with the original name, saying:

"I’m not changing the title. We never thought of a good new one, which kind of stinks. And when you look at the modern landscape of television, changing the title means changing your DVR and all this other stuff. It’ll be a funny burden to have. It might be the worst titled show of all time."

We never thought it was a bad name! Did you?

Zhang Ziyi has been in a number of films, including “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and “House of Flying Daggers.”

The new Mulan film will follow a similar plotline to the original animated movie, where a female warrior dresses like a man in order to join the army in place of her father.

New BG of me and my piglet, JayJay!! (It’s a girl!) Thanks again @jayleno ! I named her after you!

Selena Gomez on Lopez Tonight

We hate that Selena's lost her voice, but we can't help but laugh at this video below when she uses the talk box! She is currently suffering from a strained vocal chord injury, yet she still appeared on Lopez Tonight on Monday night where she had to use a special machine to get her message across during the interview since she couldn’t use her voice!

We hope you feel better, Selena!

New Picture of Shake It Up!

"Shake It Up”, the new show about two friends who are dancers, will be hitting Disney Channel this fall. The show stars Bella Thorne of Wizards of Waverly Place, and Zendaya Coleman, a newcomer.

Bella's still a rising star but she took over the role of Teenie on “Big Love” this year and was in three new films! She’s got a new series and another two films scheduled to release next year, too. It looks like Disney’s lining up some new hits to replace “Hannah Montana”, which is in its final season, and “Wizards of Waverly Place”, which will cease production in about a year.  Disney CCO Gary Marsh certainly has high hopes for the series:

"Newcomers Bella Thorne and Zendaya make for one of the most likable and engaging BFF duos we’ve ever seen. And while buddy comedies have been around since the start of television, what makes ‘Shake It Up’ unique is that this is the first time anyone has incorporated dancing into the underlying premise of a sitcom."

Are you planning on watching "Shake It Up!"?

Selena Gomez is NOT Trying to Be Miley Cyrus

Selena Gomez has been making it very clear that even though she is one of the most popular stars on the Disney Channel, she isn't trying to replace “Hannah Montana” star Miley Cyrus at all. Selena said about the subject:

"I was a guest on [Miley's] show three years ago. So I’m not sure where this [rumor] has come from. I’m flattered if people say I’m the new Miley, but I’m definitely not trying to be her. I’m just trying to be myself."

Joey King (Ramona) spilled the details about John pulling a prank on Selena:

Demi Lovato Doesn't Plan to Change Her Image After Third Album

Demi Lovato recently told E! News in an interview on the red of VH1's Do Something! Awards that her fans should not expect a drastic change in her image with the release of her third album, like the change Miley Cyrus fans saw in their beloved “Hannah Montana” star when she released her most recent album “Can’t Be Tamed.” Here’s what Demi had to say:

I don’t think it’s going to change my image, not drastically. It’s going to be what you’re seeing of me right now. It’s going to be very Demi. It’s more mature. It’s definitely grown up, but in a classy way.

Do you think this is because Demi is happy with her image, or do you think it’s because Demi still enjoys shooting Sonny With A Chance whereas Miley stated that she was very happy to move on?

None of us want to get kicked in the knees because our 3-D is crappy.
