We're Going In a New Direction!

The past several years have been awesome. Thank you to everyone who has visited this blog and made it such a huge success. We have moved on from Disney and will now be providing weekly recaps and (hopefully) live blogging of The X Factor, American Idol (which premieres on January 16), and The Voice.

Also, you can now follow our admin in some new places! He's on Twitter (@SamuelGrantS), Instagram (@popular_culture), and Tumblr (Me and Epic)!

We will start renovating the site this week and hopefully doing our live blogging of the shows!

'Wizards of Waverly Place' Finale Draws Nearly 10 Million Viewers!

As we all know, Wizards of Waverly Place recently had its series finale. Millions of fans (including us) were very sad that it was ending, but definitely loved that it had a happy ending! Also, the ratings for this last episode were released today, and they were almost as good as the finale itself! The show averaged 9.76 million viewers, making it the most-watched regular episode Disney Channel has ever had! (Not counting DCOMs or crossover episodes)


Wizards of Waverly Place is also the longest running Disney Channel Original Series in the history of the network, as well as the one with the most episodes.


We're sure this is great news for the cast and crew of this amazing TV show, and a good sign of things to come for all of their careers! Congrats to everyone who worked on Wizards for the past 5 years!

What do you think? Would you watch a Hannah Montana prequel? The better question is, would Miley Cyrus even agree to do one? Sound off in the comments!

Selena Gomez is a Rumored 'Hot Mess'!

Hit teen superstar from Wizards of Waverly Place fame, Selena Gomez, is currently rumored to be starring as one of four leading ladies in a new movie titled Hot Mess. The film would focus on Selena and three other girls who are trying as hard as they can to not become the hot messes that they are almost guaranteed to be. Selena has been saying that she would like to get away from her all-Disney-all-the-time image, and this would be a great way of doing it. Certainly a different path than Miley Cyrus took about two years ago.

Also, are we the only ones who think that this would be a great movie for Selena and Demi Lovato to come back together again in? They already starred alongside each other in Princess Protection Program and did great! The movie would also most likely get a late 2012 release, would you go see it?

All New 'Tangled' Movie Sequel!

For anyone who saw Tangled, this probably comes as quite a happy announcement! As it was one of last year's highest-grossing animated films, Disney has green lit a "straight-to-Disney Channel" sequel, titled Tangled Ever After! All that is currently known about the plot is that the film will focus on Rapunzel and Flynn getting married. It has not been announced whether Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi will return to voice the two main characters.

This looks exciting! The movie debuts in spring of next year, will you be watching?
