Wizards of Waverly Place

The live action TV movie is set to air sometime next year.

“Jennifer Stone is a great talent for our network,” sad Disney Channel programming head David Levine. “We know kids love to see series stars in movies.”

“Harriet the Spy” was made into a movie back in 1996 with Michele Trachtenberg playing Harriet. It’s based on a best selling novel and is about Harriet who is determined to become a famous author. In the meantime, she practices by following a regular spy route each day and writing down everything she sees in her secret notebook. Her life is turned upside down when her classmates find her notebook and read it aloud!

A huge congrats to Jennifer Stone!

I knew this was going to be one very popular event! Yesterday was a big day for the cast and show. Not only were they shown much love at the D23 Expo, but they also won an Emmy Award from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for Outstanding Children’s Program. What a day!

We don’t have a whole lot of information yet from the event, except that lots of girls went to the microphone during the Q&A to ask for hugs from David Henrie, who plays Justin Russo. One girl even got down on one knee and proposed!!

Almost the whole cast made it – Selena Gomez, David Henrie, Jake T. Austin, Jennifer Stone and Maria Canals-Barrera – but one cast member was not able to be there. David DeLuise attempted a flying somersault as he took to the stage and had to be taken to the emergency room in a limo. They later found out he broke his collarbone! Oh no!

Hopefully we will have some more information about the panel later. Stay tuned!

What strange thing did they do?

• Jennifer: Becomes a ballerina and does a ballet routine.
• Selena: The cast and producers say the title of the episode.
• David: Has a rabbit’s foot to give him good luck.
• Jake: Jogs around the stage a couple of times.

Have you ever prepared for something and had a funny way of getting ready? Let me know!

Selena on her fame: "I think I started to realize [things had changed] when people were coming up to my house. And knocking on the door and leaving letters. We actually had to move to a house that had a gate around it."

Jennifer on fame: "I live in sort of the trifecta of fandom. I live right in between [fellow Disney star] Demi [Lovato] and Miley. . . . So now [fans] stop at my house in between those two. The thing that gets me the most is when people start crying when they meet you. It’s really flattering and very, very sweet, but it’s definitely mind-blowing."

Selena on her fans: "I love my fans. I think my show and I are very blessed, and I love how well it’s doing and the success it’s getting. I’m happy with [the attention]. It’s still weird to me that people know my name, but I still consider myself very lucky."

Selena and Jennifer are busy promoting the premiere of their new Disney Channel Original Movie “Wizards of Waverly Place the Movie”. Catch it this Friday, August 28th on Disney Channel!

The celebs were welcomed into the Teen Choice 2009 backstage "Celebrity Retreat" at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles with some of the hottest toys, all being signed and donated to City of Hope, a renowned children’s cancer center in Los Angeles. 

The cute cuddle-buddies you see below are animatronic playmates, the WowWee Alive™ Baby Animals, that come complete with adoption papers ready for signing.  These life-like, plush snuggle pals have animated facial expressions and sounds that mimic real baby animals.  Caress their heads, stroke their backs, or cradle them in your arms and the cubs will come “alive” from your love and attention.  Which animal do you think was Jordan’s favorite?  The WowWee Alive Leopard Cub, Koala Joey, Seal Pup, or Husky Puppy?

Britney Spears even stopped by with her two sons – her one son, Jayden, got so excited by the WowWee Alive White Tiger Cub, he asked to take one home!

See more pictures of the celebs below.

David Henrie: “[Justin's] the most responsible, he takes his studying seriously and he’ll make the right decision at an important time.”

Jennifer Stone: “I really like someone who works hard and is really disciplined, so I think Justin should win. It’d be hilarious if Max ended up with the powers because he’s the one that everybody least expects.”

Selena Gomez: Although she picks Justin, too, she says, “It would be interesting to see Max win because there’s something hidden in him underneath. He’s really paying attention. [Alex] is so independent. She loves magic, but it’s not her No. 1 priority, whereas Justin lives and breathes it, and Max is there and does the work. Alex can find other things to do with her life and her friends and family.”

Jake T Austin: “I would love it if, in the last episode, our long lost brother or sister that we never knew about came in and won the power … and then did a spin-off.”

Jake also gave us one more little hint about “Wizards of Waverly Place the Movie” saying “There is a mini wizards competition, but it’s not the final one and it’s just a temporary result”.

Are you excited about the movie?!

Jennifer Stone tweeted, “I just had the coolest flight! It’s hard to beat having Robert Downey Jr. as a fellow passenger.”

Selena Gomez tweeted, “Did you know you can iChat on planes??!!? Jenn was making fun of me the entire flight.”

“Wizards of Waverly Place the Movie” premieres on the Disney Channel August 28th.

Jennifer was excited about the premiere and headed to twitter to upload a picture and talk about getting all ready to go. She accidently got the name of the movie wrong in her first tweet, which I thought was pretty funny. She corrected herself though!

She tweeted, “Dani and I about to go to the premiere for G-Squad.” Check out the cute picture of her and Dani.

After realizing she got the name of the movie wrong, she tweeted, "Wow I guess I need to learn the name of the movie I am going to. LOL Correction: G-Force."

I did manage to find one video interview of Jennifer from the premiere. The audio is messed up and there is a major delay, but you can hear Jennifer talking about wrapping up “Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie”. Check out the video below.

“G-Force” comes out this week on July 24th. I am very excited about this movie and can’t wait to see it! More pictures of Jennifer Stone, plus her interview below.
