Well, darn. Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner were such a cute couple, but it looks like they’ve broken up. A source told Us Magazine that the pair is officially over, because there just wasn’t any chemistry. On the plus side, this news probably makes a lot of young guys and girls really happy. Happy New Year to all those folks!
It’s funny because Lautner was just on “Saturday Night Live” in December, and his opening monologue involved a skit where he defended Swift on the Kanye West debacle. But it sounds like they might have been kaput even before that. …read more

“Hannah Montana: The Movie” is predictable and Disney Channel-ish, but it will appeal to tween girls who like the Hannah Montana show and Miley Cyrus.

In Theaters: Feb. 27, 2009

Runtime: 76 minutes
Directed by: Bruce Hendricks

MPAA Rating: G
Gecko Rating:

I knew “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience” would be a lot like “Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour,” because, well, for a lot of reasons.
Both movies were directed by Bruce Hendricks. Both are populated with Disney stars. Both are geared for tweens. Both are based on concert tours of aforementioned Disney stars. Basically, they’re the same movie, only with different faces. The faces in this one being Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas, and …read more

Here’s my theory on why the Jonas Brothers are so popular: they’re young and fresh, they obviously love their fans, their singing isn’t half bad, and the tween crowd loves them. Plus, the whole purity ring business is a good thing (even if it was engineered by a publicist, which I’m just cynical enough to think might be the case).
At any rate, Nick, Joe and Kevin are headed to the big screen. “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience” will be in theaters this Friday, Feb. 27, 2009. It’s 76 minutes long and rated G (yay!). The film blends footage …read more

Over on Film Gecko’s "New Moon Casting News and Rumors" thread, Andrea Palmer commented that the song "Breathe" by Taylor Swift would make a great tune for "New Moon," when Edward leaves Bella. So I found a fan-made video on YouTube (by 2kairi11), and agree it would be beautiful for "New Moon." What do you think?  Would you be onboard with this song for "New Moon"?

CelebTV.com put together a nice clip celebrating the biggest breakout teen stars of 2008. It’s fun to see youngsters start out on the Disney Channel and go on to make it big in movies. The Jonas Brothers have a film coming up, "Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience," in theaters Feb. 27, 2009.
