Speechless. Jamie Chung from Real World: San Diego did a great job in that movie. Thos are some big numbers.
Selena and Demi’s star power is rising. Its amazing how Disney and Nick are the only two networks to sustain an audience that big on Friday and Saturday Nights now in days. Just shows you how the networks aren’t even trying.
we noted approx 83 princess/princesa/princessa notations in movie???
My son watched the entire show & counted every princess, princesses & princesca and we were unable to even find the site to watch the never before seen episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place and/or Sonny With a Chance.
Thanks for disappointing him & my daughter.
What a HOAX!

I hated it, I hate all things disney lately, they have failed to do as good of a job as Nickelodeon. I hope iCarly did well tonight! and True Jackson!
Hated that movie. Nick Rocks!
I LOVE SELEN
SELENA*
IMO, disney may be a little bit lame or cheesy, but it’s not like nick is way above the disney channel quality-wise, u know what i mean.
glad PPP did well, love me some Selena and Demi!
also enjoyed the latest Sonny With A Chance, in which Selena guest-starred!
awww these girls are great…..dont hate….. :]
Well Wizzards was going to get good ratingz but it will go down again
Glad PPP did well
I have no problem with this doing so well. Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez are rare excellent role models for girls. That’s why I have no problem with iCarly always tearing up the cable charts because the same is true of Miranda Cosgrove and Jennette McCurdy.
Yeah I agree with Chief. Although these types of shows are well out of my interest, it’s hard to find anything wrong about clean, family entertainment. It’s great kids have a “safe” place to watch good, family-friendly programming without parents having to worry about age inappropriate material.
I had no clue about this until I saw the names: Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato.
Those girls are massive hits on the Superiorpics.com celebrity pic Web site. So far I haven’t developed much interest. Teen starlets come and go with such regularity I can’t get interested until they do something that interests me – and a Disney movie ain’t it. Emma Watson is the last one that interested me.
I just looked up on Wikipedia what this was about – good grief…This is what Disney has devolved to, since the days of Daniel Boone and the like…
Besides which, I’ve been downloading all the Blade and True Blood episodes. Did see one interesting young girl on Blade – Emily Hirst, playing Charlotte, the diminutive pureblood vampire elder. She was cool and a good actor. Almost a double for Emma Watson, too; I took a double-take when she first came on and had to look up the name to confirm it wasn’t Emma.
It’s Good,clean and fun!!!!
i dont see where at on the page to enter the 086, plz help me!
This movie was great,i just want to keep watching it all the time.If anyone say’s that this movie was not great or good they dont know good movie from bad movie. selena and demi congruat to the wonderful movie that you girls did,i hope to see more of it. It was a good movie.
