Saraba, 2010.

As 2010 finally ends this year, It finally all comes to a close. now it's time to lookback at stuff that happened in both the World of Disney Channel and the World of Tokusatsu.

1. A year of Cool, epic new shows

That 2010, We were treated to cool shows like Tensou Sentai GoSeiger, Good Luck Charlie, JONAS LA, Shake It Up and Kamen Rider OOO. Shake It Up brought back the Lizzie McGuire formula of everyday tween problems and situations while mixing elements from Hannah Montana and Sonny With a Chance, while Kamen Rider OOO brings forth the rider with the most forms via medals. Good Luck Charlie reintroduces the formula of a normal family first found in Even Stevens (in fact, it's been 10 years since Stevens) while Tensou Sentai GoSeiger, brings back powered protectors (last seen in Boukenger), no "all mechas combined" formation (since Gekiranger), and a no identity 6th Ranger since Hurricanger.

2. The movies that excite us

2010 is another reason for movies and such. Toku movies like Super Hero Time: The Movie 2010 (Kamen Rider W FOREVER A-Z: The Gaia Memories of Fate and Tensou Sentai GoSeiger: Epic on the Movie), Ultraman Zero The Movie, The Cho Den-O Trilogy movies, and Kamen Rider Movie Wars Core exicted toku fans, while Disney Channel Original Movies like 16 Wishes, Avalon High (pictured above), StarStruck, Den Brother and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam were the servings of that year for tween viewers. Disney Stars got in the act too in the big screen, with  Zac Efron's Charlie St. Cloud and Selena Gomez's Ramona and Beezus leading the pack.

3. The lucky number 18

2010 was also the year 3 Disney Girls finally turned legit in the eyes of most of their boy fans. Starting with Selena Gomez (July 22), then Demi Lovato (August 22), and finally Miley Cyrus (November 23), these 3 finally bloomed. The only guy that was the same age of them this year, who also turned legit too, was Nick Jonas.

4. The time their shows say goodbye

In the episode shooting part of their shows, Both The Suite Life on Deck and Hannah Montana Forever ends their filming of episodes on their last day of shooting their last episodes. Kamen Rider W, on the other hand, while their filming of the show was already over, finally bids farewell that August 2010. however, their adventure is not over yet, as evidenced in Movie Wars Core.

5. The crumbling of Miley and Demi's World

The year that they became 18 was also the year things didn't go well for them. Miley had much a problem from dressing provocatively to her parents finally divorcing. Demi on the other hand, lost her boyfriend (Joe Jonas) to Ashley Greene, her friend died (not Selena, fortunately), and because her bad past caught up with her, ended up punching her backup dancer and threatening Ashley, all leading to her going to rehab to heal herself. but it got worse when her haters banded together and started brining up false rumors to bring her down.

As we finally say farewell in a few hours (some countries may have been already finished celebrating New Year's Day), it's time to let go of the bad memories of that year and bring with us the happiest ones for this year. in 2011, We have lots to look forward too, like the upcoming Kaizoku Sentai Goukaiger, the Sentai version of Kamen Rider Decade, Demi Lovato's comeback, and Hannah Montana's final episode.

so 2010... We'll miss you.

"Now, count up your crimes!"

Happy Birthday Frankie Jonas!

Cute? yes. Adorable? totally. Bonus? Not so much.

For this little bundle of cuteness, you can't say no to Frankie "the Bonus" Jonas. as the youngest of the all-sibling 3-man band The Jonas Brothers, he may not have a big role in celebrity society but he knows how to whip it up good.

He sometimes shows up in JONAS/JONAS LA (his recent being JONAS LA ep. 9, Direct To Video where he is paired up with Nicole Gale Anderson, check my previous post about the episode) as the character Frankie Lucas, and became a protag in the US Dub of Ponyo on the Cliff on the Sea (opposite Noah Cyrus) as Sousuke, and also shows up as Trevor in Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. Camp Rocker Anna Maria Perez de Tagle managed to tweet a Happy Birthday tweet for Frankie. (tweet @ http://twitter.com/AnnaMariaPdT)

Well you may just be little but great things await you... at least before you become a teenager that is. Happy 10th Birthday Frankie!

Are you ready for Camp Rock 2?

Check out this epic battle only on Disney Channel!

Happy Birthday Demi Lovato!

This Rocker never allowed herself to be tamed at all. this girl refuses to shed a single tear.... except in acting scenes. she even never dared to say "I quit"... she never even fought back at rumors but she fought back at life's trials and even took the blows.

this girl... evolved to be the best singer-actress she is now. her name is Demetria Devonne Lovato, aka Demi. and now, at age 18, she'll go even further. (no, not that further)

Who knew the girl who got a minor start alongside former BFF Selena Gomez at Barney and Friends will get a great career that will win the hearts of many? even though she experienced many trials that most, if not a few, girls that will emotionally break them up, she refused to say "you win" at life's trials. instead, she persevered, and in the end, slayed the big kaiju named "life's difficulty".

Prior to her appearance in As The Bell Rings, she was in select commercials, like the one for Worth the Wait, and a few months or years after As The Bell Rings, her breakout came in Camp Rock as Mitchie Torres. a year after, she got her own TV show in Sonny With A Chance as Sonny Munroe, and that same year, her first album came, titled "Don't Forget" in which she shows her music skills. her 2nd album, "Here We Go Again" was released. and her other DCOM, Princess Protection Program, came out that summer, where she played Rosalinda Maria Montoya Fiore.

This year she had a temporary relationship with Joe Jonas and Jemi (Joe+Demi) fans were happy about it, but the Joe Jonas Fangirls didn't like it at all. after 3 months, they broke off peacefully but no tears were shed. however they value their friendship above all, thus why the breakup was decent.

This year, as she turns 18 and ready rock out at full force, she will indeed show the world and her supporters and fans that THIS GIRL CAN ROCK.

Next month, you can catch her again with Joe as they reprise their roles of Mitchie and Shane respectively when Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam jams on September.

So hats off to you and keep rocking, Demetria! Happy 18th B-Day!

Here's a little reminiscing of their friendship in this clip: (this was preserved in other youtube users, this clip was removed in Demi's Youtube account)

Why Jemi "failed" after a month

They say opposites attract. In Jemi's case, maybe not so much!
Just two days before they broke up, Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato gave a big interview about their relationship. Now that it's finally coming out, we can kinda see where the problem was (even if Demi couldn't)!
Seems that Demi is a bit darker than Joe — into more action and edgy stuff. Totally cool, but not quite Joe's style.
"She listens to harder music sometimes than I would. She'll say, 'Listen to this great song,'" Joe said, to which Demi responded, "And he's like... scary!"
It extended to movies, where Joe said, "It's like, I'd much rather go see a happy movie," and Demi said, "And I would rather see an action film."
It started out pretty awkwardly, too. As Demi explains it:
"I had always fancied him. Want to know what actually happened? One night I asked him, 'What is the deal? We're perfect for each other. What are you doing?' And he was like, 'This is really awkward. I have to go.'"
Sure, he went with it for a while, but we guess the love of heavy metal was just too much. Or always being around each other. Or a hatred of Barney.
So how is it between them now?
"We haven't spent any time together since everything," Demi said, "because that would be awkward, but I'm sure things will go totally back to normal once we're on tour together. It's just that at this point I'd rather be hanging out with my girlfriends than seeing my ex."
Ouch. And how do you feel, Joe?
"In this business," he said, "it's really hard to find people who are going to be there for the rest of your life. When I met Demi, I knew right away that our friendship was really strong. I don't want to lose that ever."

Looks like it wasn't Chelsea Staub after all...

More Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam news!

IT’S ON!

It’s here too! The official announcement of the Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam concert tour, premiere date and soundtrack! Let’s start with the most exciting:

THE CONCERT: The Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato and the rest of the cast of the movie will be heading out on a worldwide concert tour. The three continent concert tour begins July 27 in Dallas, Texas. Tickets can be purchased at LiveNation. Also, beginning May 11, fans can also access a “Camp Rock”-themed premium iTouch and iPhone app, which will also be optimized for the iPad, to buy tickets to the concert, hear music clips, watch videos and more.

THE SOUNDTRACK: Featuring 15 original songs spanning hip-hop, rock and pop/rock, including “Can’t Back Down,” will be available Tuesday, July 27 on iTunes and in stores nationwide.

THE MOVIE: Premieres Friday, September 3 @ 8PM ET/PT on Disney Channel.
Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam summary: All the Camp Rockers have returned, eager to tune up and rock out. Nobody’s more excited than Mitchie (Lovato), who anticipates more than a summer of music. Fresh from a world tour, the rock band Connect 3 (Jonas Brothers) are hanging all summer - Shane to pursue last summer’s crush on Mitchie, his band mates as moral support.
Across the lake glistens the new Camp Star: a high-tech, big-money music camp funded by Brown’s former band mate-with-a-grudge, Axel Turner. Down-to-earth Camp Rock may have passion, talent and commitment, but Camp Star boasts resources, infrastructure and money — enough money to poach Camp Rock’s counselors and put Camp Rock out of business.
But Axel isn’t counting on a natural born leader named Mitchie, who vows to save her beloved camp and her friends’ summer. Clipboard in hand, she organizes the older Camp Rockers into counselors and keeps the camp running. Then Mitchie steps it up again… by challenging the egocentric Camp Star to a Final Jam — an end-of-summer performance duel… may the best camp win.

ARE YOU EXCITED FOR Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam?

Goseiger Cast confirmed + First Look at Camp Rock 2

Since I can't just cram them in one day, I'll do a double post in one post. here goes.


At last, the casts for the 2010 Super Sentai series, Tensou Sentai Goseiger, have already been confirmed! The cast are as follows:

Arata/GoseiRed - Yudai Chiba
Aguri/GoseiBlue - Kyousuke Hamao
Hyde/GoseiBlack - Kento Ono
Eri/GoseiPink - Rika Satou
Mone/GoseiYellow - Mikiho Niwa

It seems the the first rumored cast list is true.

Above is the first image from Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, which is due out next summer!

Joe Jonas shares "There's a lot more romance with my character and even with Nick's character. The romance, the singing and dancing – everything is bigger and better." Joe elaborates on his character's romance with Mitchie (played by Demi Lovato). "They want to spend more time together but [finding time is a bit] difficult for them to do, because she is trying to help out the camp as much as she can."

"They are so easy to work with and we just hangout and have fun," Demi shares about working with the Jonas Brothers again. "They are like my brothers and they are my best friends. They always make me laugh."

The film will focus on the Camp Rockers while a new state-of-the-art camp, Camp Star, moves in across the lake. Kevin and Nick, who had small roles in the first film, will have story lines of their own in the sequel. "Bonus Jonas" Frankie will also appear in the film.

Nick's character falls for the daughter of Camp Star's owner, played by Chloe Bridges. "It's good when you feel comfortable with the person and we're friends." Meanwhile, Kevin's character has no lover interest and is just a camp counselor.

Well, what do you think? Are you pumped?!
