On February 15th, Tony announced on his MySpace blog that his single “All I Need” would finally be released. He had us all guessing what his Norway Project was and at the end of January, he filled us in:

“Here’s the 411 on the Norway project. I flew to Norway in December to record 3 new songs and I taped 2 really cool music videos and you’ll be able to download the songs soon!! My first solo single is called ‘All I Need‘ and I uploaded a little sneak peek about making the music video. My first song will be available on the ZOOVOLUTION.COM site on FEBRUARY 15 and on I-TUNES on APRIL 1!

“Zoovolution is a cool new online virtual world by a company in Norway called Web & Circus. It teaches kids and teens about wildlife awareness and global responsibility. ZOOVOLUTION launches tomorrow but you can get a preview at Zoovolution.com.

“When they asked me if I’d lend my voice for a good cause I definitely wanted to be a part of the whole Zoovolution project! I taped some promos about endangered animals and I’m really proud and honored to be asked to record three great songs. Part of the proceeds from the songs will go to different animal charities. So I asked if I could designate the Lions, Tigers and Bears sanctuary I recently visited near San Diego and they said yes!”

Without further ado, here is his single “All I Need”. Have a listen and tell me what you think!

“In the next few episodes, Lexi finds where she fits in with the group of students. Tiffany lets the guys in on her secret to taking the perfect school photo. Lexi is Danny’s muse as he writes a new song. Brooke films a documentary and Danny decides he wants to be a rock star.

According to an article in The Wall Street Journal, Selena Gomez helped her BFF Demi Lovato land her roles on the Disney Channel. The article is about Demi’s rise to fame.

The article states that Demi’s family’s desire to get into the Disney empire, was as great as Disney’s desire to find some new talent. Demi’ mom said, “Take it from someone who tried for eight years to make it, once you get in you’re thankful.”

Now Disney has the whole image that its stars are manufactured. People think that they want to turn everyone into an exact replica of Hilary Duff or Miley Cyrus. Demi says that’s just not true.

She says, “Disney has an image that’s not the reality. Artists aren’t as manufactured as they appear.”

So how did Demi’s friend Selena get snatched up by Disney? Demi’s mom, who is a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, took both Demi and Selena to a talent search in Austin, TX organized by Disney. The execs noticed Demi, but they tapped Selena instead. They were looking for an adorable Hispanic girl and Demi’s mom said that Selena was just what they were looking for. So, Demi went home where she continued to act and sing.

In 2006, Demi attended another Disney talent search. They cast her for the short series “As the Bell Rings“, but Selena has a big part in Demi landing the Camp Rock role, as well as some others. During a break from filming “Wizards of Waverly Place” Selena called Demi out of the audience and had her belt out a version of Christina Aguilera’s ‘Ain’t No Other Man’. That got the Disney execs attention!

Now Demi not only landed the role as Mitchie on Camp Rock, but also Princess Protection Program (alongside Selena), Welcome to Mollywood and a contract with Hollywood Records. WOW! What a great article.
