'Peter Pan': See an alternate opening for Disney's classic -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
Disney’s Peter Pan turns 60 years old this year — but you’d never know it from his youthful appearance. (A life in Never Land is the ultimate anti-aging balm.) The studio is celebrating this milestone with an all-new “Diamond Edition” DVD/Blu-ray release, which hits stores next week. Naturally, the 77-minute film is buoyed by a treasure trove of special features — including this alternate opening, which trades the J. M. Barrie adaptation’s sleepy narration for something a little more in medias res.

Rick Riordan announces 'Percy Jackson', 'Kane Chronicles' crossover
Rick Riordan fans, the impossible is finally coming true. The author has written a crossover story featuring both Carter Kane and Percy Jackson!
Titled “The Son of Sobek,” the short will be published as part of the paperback edition of Riordan’s third installment of the Kane Chronicles, The Serpent’s Shadow. “There are a lot of gods and a lot of characters in my books,” Riordan told Publisher’s Weekly. “I picked two that I know very well. Percy and Carter are my touchstones.”
The author also addressed the news on his blog, explaining why now is the perfect time to give fans what they’ve been clamoring for. “My publisher Disney-Hyperion was looking for something fun to add to the paperback version of The Serpent’s Shadow … something to encourage folks who haven’t yet tried the Kane Chronicles to pick up the series. I decided what the heck. Let’s throw Carter and Percy together in a Greek-Egyptian dilemma and see what happens. The result was SO much fun to write.” READ FULL STORY »

'Beauty and the Beast': Robby Benson's book goes behind the scenes -- EXCERPT

It has been over 20 years since Disney’s Beauty and the Beast became a blockbuster and made a best-picture breakthrough at the Oscars by scoring the first-ever nomination for an animated film. In addition to playing the snarling title role, Robby Benson has had a lot of other hairy experiences. The Broadway actor/singer, who also starred in Ice Castles and The Chosen, has had four open heart surgeries due to a congenital valve defect, and recently wrote the autobiography I’m Not Dead … Yet! as a way to tell his own story while encouraging others who face health problems.
He designed it himself as an iPad-friendly, multimedia book, available now for download. And to help spread the word, he agreed to share an excerpt with EW’s The Family Room, focusing not on his health struggles, but on one of the happiest times in his career — giving voice to the fearsome, frightening Beast. It starts with a script, and ends with him on the Oscar stage … sort of.
I read the pages of dialogue and my immediate take on Beast was to treat him as a three-dimensional character, not a cartoon character. To me, Beast was as real as any part I had played in a live-action film or a Broadway show.
My first audition was recorded on, of all things, a Sony Walkman. As a musician, I had branched out into recording engineer and loved to play with sound. When I saw the Sony Walkman I knew it had a little condenser microphone in it, and if I were to get too loud, the automatic compressor and built-in limiter would ‘squash’ the voice— and there would be very little dynamic range to the performance. I did a quick assessment and wondered how many people who had come in to audition for the part were making that error: playing the Beast with overwhelming decibels, compressing the vocal waveforms. I decided to give the Beast ‘range.’ Because of my microphone technique, and an understanding of who I wanted Beast to be, they kept asking me to come back and read different dialogue. After my fifth audition, Jeffrey Katzenberg the hands-on guardian of the film, said the part was mine …

Aliens are invading Disney Channel!
That seems to be the story with the news that Disney Channel will air four episodes of ABC’s The Neighbors on Friday Dec. 28 from 8-10 p.m. This is the first time that Disney has run a special presentation of a current ABC show (they are part of the same company).
The Neighbors stars Jami Gertz and Simon Templeman and premiered in September, revolves around a family that moves to a new home only to discover that their neighbors are all aliens (and, strangely enough, all have sports star names). The show, which has been averaging around 6.5 million viewers an episode for the 10 episodes aired so far, is likely looking to expand its audience and placing it on Disney Channel for a mini-marathon likely wants to drive home to parents that this is a show the whole family can watch together.

This weekend, Disney Channel will air a holiday-themed episode of its new series Dog with a Blog. “Bark! The Herald Angels Sing” finds the blended Jennings clan celebrating its first Christmas as a family — which, naturally, leads to a few butting heads.
Take this exclusive clip, for example, in which parents Bennett (Regan Burns) and Ellen (Beth Littleford) begin battling for holiday cookie supremacy. “Suffice it to say, I’ve had my fill of holiday cookies for the year,” Littleford tells EW via email. “And I’m still picking crumbs out of my bra.”

iCarly lives!
Well, sort of. Nickelodeon announced today that it’s given the greenlight to a new series called Sam & Cat.
