Sarah Hyland (“Modern Family”) and Matt Prokop (High School Musical 3: Senior Year) star in the comedy “Geek Charming,” a Disney Channel Original Movie based on the popular young adult novel of the same name, premiering Friday, November 11 at 8:00 pm ET/PT. The story follows a snobby high school girl who has her perspective challenged when she becomes the subject of a self-proclaimed film geek’s documentary.
In the movie, spoiled Dylan Shoenfield (Hyland), Woodlands Academy’s most popular junior, accidentally drops her designer handbag into the mall fountain and the school’s film geek, Josh Rosen (Prokop) jumps in to retrieve it. Although Dylan would not usually interact with Josh, to return the favor, she agrees to be the subject of his documentary for the school film contest – with the hope that the film will help her win the coveted Blossom Queen crown. While Josh sets out to make a hard-hitting film about Dylan and her social hierarchy, once the cameras start rolling he sees there’s more to her than meets the eye.

‘Phineas and Ferb’ Halloween Episode Video Sneak Peek
In just a few days, the all new Halloween episode of ‘Phineas and Ferb’ will premiere on Disney Channel and we have two new clips to share!
Our first clip is from ‘That’s the Spirit!,’ where it’s Halloween night and the kids encounter a strange boy and his father who are convinced their house is haunted. Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s disdain for grass causes him to invent a ‘mind-transfer-inator’ enabling him to merge minds with a cow and destroy all the grass in the Tri-State Area. Unfortunately, his plan backfires and he transforms into a scary ‘were-cow’ that wreaks havoc any time there is a full moon. It’s now up to Agent P to stop him and save Danville. Guest starring are Michael Douglas and real-life son Dylan Douglas, as father and son residents of the haunted house.
In this clip, the step-brothers and the gang encounter Russell (Dylan Douglas) as he explains why he’s hiding in the bushes.
And in ‘The Curse of Candace,’ Candace is bitten by a bat after watching a popular vampire movie and worries that she is becoming a vampire. Phineas and Ferb’s latest gadgets lead Candace to believe that she has indeed made the change from teenager to teen vampire. Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz plans to change the Tri-State Area into a carbon copy of Gimmelshtump so that it will be easier to take over. Guest starring are Michael J. Fox, and ‘True Blood’s’ Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer as the cast of the teen vampire movie.
Here, we see Kristen (Paquin) and Michael (Fox) taking on the vampire Jared (Moyer):

‘Zombies and Cheerleaders’ to be Disney Channel Sitcom Pilot
A few months ago, we reported on some interesting domain name registrations by Disney focusing on the unlikely combination of zombies and cheerleaders — relatively unusual for a family entertainment conglomerate, anyway. Within the past couple of weeks, we began receiving visits through search engines from various people searching for the term, sometimes combining it with Disney and even Disney Channel.
Today we have learned just what the ‘Zombies and Cheerleaders’ project is, thanks to a casting notice placed by Stiner/Block Casting, who routinely cast for Disney Channel projects. According to the casting call, we now know the project to be a pilot for a new Disney Channel comedy.
The show focuses on Zed, your typical popular high school kid who just happens to be a zombie. According to his bio, Zed is ‘a handsome, fun-loving, witty zombie who is still a looker — even if he is partially decomposed. … Zed is a confident mover and shaker — the man with the plan. He has a tight circle of pals, but he and his fellow zombies are largely excluded from the school’s uber-cool cheerleader group, led by his arch-nemesis, Bucky Buchanan. But when the beautiful Addison enters their school and joins the ranks of the cheerleaders, the smitten Zed vies with Bucky to score Addison for his girlfriend.’ For the record, Zed is able to control his appetite for brains via a device invented by his father, the z-pad.
Zed’s crush, Addison, is the new girl in school. Sher’s described as a ‘stunning girl with a gorgeous smile, a sweet nature, and a keen intelligence. New to school, Addison is delighted when she tries out for the cheerleading squad and makes it. However, unlike her new fellow cheerleaders, she harbors no prejudice against zombies, and indeed, finds Zed an intriguing and genuinely nice guy. But Addison seems oblivious to Zed’s big crush on her, which is driving him just a tad nuts.’
Eliza is described as a ‘hip female zombie with a bit of a edge clad in a beret and a Che Guevara t-shirt. Political and intellectual, Eliza believes that zombies are superior to humans.’ Eliza is also convinced she’s Zed’s girlfriend, although Zed is not quite as convinced. Despite her pro-zombie agenda, Eliza finds Addison to be a nice girl (for a human), but a rival when it comes to Zed’s affection.
Jerry is Zed’s best friend with an offbeat sense of humor. He also happens to be a human who has a thing for zombie culture. His zombie obsession gets him invited into the zombie clique at school.
Lastly, we have head cheerleader Bucky. Bucky is a ‘handsome, cocky, swaggering human’ and ‘is a narcissist who still manages to be extremely likable. The cheer master of the cheerleading squad, he is undisputedly the most hip and popular guy in school. In other words, he’s Zed’s arch-nemesis, and he never misses an opportunity to insult and harass Zed and his zombie cohorts. When pretty Addison comes to school, Bucky and Zed compete for her favors – and for now, it seems like Bucky’s winning hands-down.
Interestingly enough, they are looking for the roles of Zed, Addison and Bucky to be strong singers in addition to comedic talents. This is a nationwide open casting call with auditions due in by October 10, so if anyone is interested in auditioning for the roles, see this page for links for all the necessary information.

Disney Channel Orders Third Season of ‘Good Luck Charlie,’ Original Movie to Debut in December
Disney Channel has ordered a third season of its hit kid and family sitcom, “Good Luck Charlie.” Production is scheduled to resume in Los Angeles for a season premiere in early 2012. The series, created by Phil Baker and Drew Vaupen (“Suddenly Susan” and “What I Like About You”), is executive-produced by Baker, Vaupen and Dan Staley (“Cheers,” “Love & Money”) and stars Bridgit Mendler, Jason Dolley, Leigh-Allyn Baker, Bradley Steven Perry, Mia Talerico and Eric Allan Kramer.
“Good Luck Charlie” has also inspired a Disney Channel Original Movie, “Good Luck Charlie, It’s Christmas!,” set to premiere in December, starring the cast along with guest stars Debra Monk (“Damages,” “Grey’s Anatomy”) and Michael Kagan (“Desperate Housewives”).
The series ranks a dominant No. 1 in its time period, and in July, delivered its second-highest rated telecast of all time in both the Kid 6-11 and Tween 9-14 demographics. With 21% of its viewers Adults 18-49, it is among Disney Channel’s successful programming geared towards the whole family.
A fan favorite, “Good Luck Charlie” centers around the everyday adventures of the busy Duncan clan: working full-time parents Bob and Amy; their three teen kids PJ, Teddy and Gabe; and fast-growing toddler, Charlie.
“Good Luck Charlie, It’s Christmas!” follows the Duncans as they get separated en route to Palm Springs, and with just days left before the holiday, everyone scrambles to reunite the family. In true Duncan fashion, and not without facing some hiccups, hurdles and even a happy surprise, they discover a whole new meaning of family. The movie was written by Geoff Rodkey (“R.V.,” “Daddy Day Care”) and directed by Emmy-nominee Arlene Sanford (“Ally McBeal,” “Boston Legal”).

D23 Expo: ‘Shake It Up’ Panel and Fashion Show Exclusive Photos and Performance Video
The constant screams in the D23 Expo Arena stemming from hundreds of fans was the only Expo schedule you needed to know that they would soon be entertained by the stars of one of the most successful tv series in Disney Channel history, ‘Shake It Up.’
The event first kicked off, however, with a fashion show highlighting the current Target-exclusive D-Signed collection, inspired by the show’s lead characters, CeCe and Rocky, played by Bella Thorne and Zendaya Coleman.
Following the fashion show, which was attended by Bella and Zendaya, came the panel itself, moderated by Radio Disney’s own, Ernie D. For the panel, Bella and Zendaya were also joined by Davis Cleveland (Flynn), Roshan Fegan (Ty), Adam Irigoyen (Deuce), Kenton Duty (Gunther) and Caroline Sunshine (Tinka).
With a brief Q&A session which talked about pranks on the set and the cast’s individual experiences with the audition process, the floor was opened to a few questions from the audience. We also learned that there would be a one hour episode in the second season (airing September 18) which promised some amazing things, as well as some hints about what will happen in the second season, such as new potential relationships for both Rocky and CeCe and that Roshan’s character, Ty, will begin rapping. One highlight in particular from the session was Zendaya and Bella sharing their secret handshake which seemed like it took several minutes to execute.
The cast then took a break as the audience was treated to the upcoming Halloween episode of ‘Shake It Up’ which guest stars Atticus Shaffer, best known as Brick on ABC’s ‘The Middle.’ While Atticus’ character has a scary secret to share with candy guru Flynn, Rocky and CeCe receive a couple of tricks of their own when they meet a couple of boys at a Halloween party.
After the advanced screening of the episode, the cast returned to perform the dance number they had been rehearsing hours upon hours for, exclusively for the Disney D23 Expo presentation and, as you can see for yourself, it was all worth it. The show’s choreographer even came out after the performance and taught part of the dance to the fans.
