High School Musical Disney star Ashley Tisdale said her 2-year-old daughter Jupiter has always been a good traveler, which was tested when the family was stuck on a flight that spent double the amount of time in the air.
“That was obviously tested because we were stuck in the air for hours,” she told Showbiz Cheat Sheet during a Chase Ihg One Rewards Credit Cards announced the opening of “The Slowdown.”
Tisdale described how packing a “magic backpack” kept her daughter entertained for hours.

“We were supposed to land at 3:00. And at this point, it was like 3:30 and then we had to refuel. So we went to Syracuse and refueled. We actually didn’t land until 7 p.m., which is an insane flight. I really was so proud of her. The only time...

Some old but good cartoons that we grew up watching included main characters in sets of odd numbers. For example, PowerPuff Girls had a gang of three – Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. Ed, Edd, and Eddy had, well, Ed, Edd, and Eddy. Groups of five were also common, like in Scooby Doo, where viewers usually saw the five members of Mystery Inc., namely, Daphne, Velma, Freddy, Shaggy, and Scooby. Little Einsteins also featured a group of five! It was a common trope for cartoons back then to include gangs of an odd number of members for balance and indivisibility. Today,

That was basically the message from Disney CEO Bob Chapek as he sought to allay Wall Street anxiety about a sharp decline in growth at streaming service Disney+. The service added just 2.1 million subscribers during the fiscal fourth quarter, reaching 118.1 million.
“We’re real pleased with where we’re sitting, but again, it’s not going to be a linear rate quarter to quarter,” Chapek told analysts during the company’s quarterly earnings call. A resurgence in growth “is really going to come in the third and fourth quarters” of the next fiscal year.
Global expansion will be a major driver in 2022, he said. The company plans to more than double the number of countries where it streams, from about 60 now to about 160, including key launches in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and South Africa. South Korea and Taiwan will be added to the Disney+ roster on Friday,...

Halloween is nearly upon us, and that means you’re probably looking for some spooky movies and shows to watch to get you in the spirit of the holiday. Of course, it’s easy to find a good slasher flick or psychological horror on various services, but trying to locate such content that’s family-friendly can sometimes be tough. The good news is, though, that you don’t have to look very far at all if you’re a Disney Plus subscriber, as the platform is filled to the brim with plenty of great Halloween stuff for viewers of all ages.
One option you’re certain to be happy to hear about is the 1993 comedy horror Hocus Pocus, which ranks as one of the most timeless Halloween classics of all time – proven further by its huge haul during its theatrical rerelease this year. This tale of a trio of evil...

After Glee‘s tremendous success, many may have predicted a wave of musical TV series entering production as various networks tried to capitalize on Fox’s good fortune. None came. This week, Smash premiered on NBC to strong ratings, bringing the tally of network musicals up to two. Given the tremendous potential for gain, both in terms of ratings and music sales, isn’t it unusual for the networks to be so hesitant? After some investigation, it appears not- as much as Americans love a good musical, they rarely commit to those on TV. Below is a brief chronology of musical TV series from the 1960s on.
>1960: CBS and the DuMont network each take a crack at a musical series with original songs in the pop/Broadway style, but neither series, Inside U.S.A. with Chevrolet (1949-50) or Once Upon a Tune (1951), takes off.

As I was sitting here thinking of what to write about this week, I suddenly heard an annoying voice coming through my television. A bossy, pushy rabbit voice, that belongs to none other than Ruby, from Max and Ruby. This got my thoughts going to how sad it is that our children don't have the same television shows we had growing up. As a parent I find today's offerings for children's programming to be lacking the same appeal as the shows we all watched in our youth.
Let's use Max and Ruby for an example, because that show makes no sense whatsoever. Ruby is the older sister, of Max, and from what we can tell they are both under 10. They don't appear to have parents, yet there are photos on the wall of them. Ruby takes the bus, does laundry, bakes, all the while bossing Max around. Max is as naughty as they come,...

"Chuck's" Ryan McPartlin knows that it takes a real man to admit to liking girly drinks.
The actor, who returns as Devon "Captain Awesome" Woodcomb on the spy comedy on Monday, Jan. 17, subjects himself to Zap2it's Celeb Slam Book, beginning with whether or not he's graduated from his girly drink guilty pleasure that he admitted to at Comic-Con.
"Aw, man, here we go. Yeah no I haven't," he tells Zap2it with a laugh. "I like my Cosmos once in a while, but if you put an Appletini in front of me, I won't say no. The thing is I can get into just about anything. It depends on what everyone's doing around me too. I'm a very social butterfly."
McPartlin also opens up about his first celebrity crush (Hint: She set young boys' hearts aflutter on "Who's the Boss?"), a movie that makes him cry without fail...

Disney's Nancy Kanter on TV programmes for pre-school children
What programmes will young children want to watch this Christmas: homemade ones, or imported cartoons from the Us?
Out of 27 dedicated kids' channels in the UK, just 1% of their total output is made in this country. Yet for the all-important pre-school market things are not so clear – CBeebies is the channel of choice for the under-sixes with 95% of it originating in the UK. And last month Nick Junior, an interesting hybrid that is owned by BSkyB and the Us giant Viacom, was named as the channel of the year at the annual Children's Baftas, snatching the crown from CBeebies. Many saw it as recognition of its energetic efforts to cloak itself in Britishness.
So successful has this trend been that even Disney, to many the archetype of the all-American company, is starting to adapt its UK output. Playhouse Disney, which competes...

The general see-ask-pause-agree formula of the Little Einsteins franchise proves to be more than just an easily replicable gimmick. Disney, which owns the Little Einsteins series, has made a dubious effort to reproduce the success of the all-too-popular brand but with the flagship Disney characters in their place. Instead of four toddlers wandering about with classical music interludes we now have Mickey and Donald prancing about in a nonsensical series of encounters serving as little more than a shallow opportunity to get as many Disney characters in the minds of your kids so they’ll forever be consumers of the Disney Kool-Aid.
Alright, so this all sounds downright vindictive, but it really stems from good old-fashioned resentment for a poorly crafted production that feels like its entire premise was a rejected episode from the Little Einsteins line stretched to twice the acceptable length. To start, the title would invoke some...

I first encountered Little Einsteins when I had to take a 6-hour road trip with a cousin and his wife who had a toddler who just had to be entertained. While the mother did her part to entertain the youngin’ for some stretches, the main weight of the load came to bear on the heads of Disney’s four sing-song educators. They bring tidings of a smarter generation of youth and a level of classical education that hasn’t existed for kids in ages. What matters though is their ability to do it in a way that keeps kids enraptured even when it repeats itself using Disney’s Fastplay option.
Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood had their place. Muppets, puppets and old men can pass for entertainment with slight hues of education, but Little Einsteins takes the opposite route. The entertainment clearly comes second in terms of importance with...

We have a large age range span at our house, and inevitably this causes problems when the 4-year-old wants to play video games with the 17-year-old. VTech’s V. Smile Motion Active Learning System ($60) changed that dynamic and opened up a whole new world of video game fun that I had no idea even existed.
First off, squeals of delight welcomed the pink and purple console and its wireless controller (not to worry, it also comes in primary colors for a tougher look). Within minutes, my daughter had it out of the box and with minimal help, plugged into the television, trying out Dora the Explorer: Dora’s Fix-it Adventure game ($25). Her father and I were reading the instructions to her, but she was already playing, yelling “Swiper! No swiping!” repeatedly.
For kids ages 4-7, the games are lessons in disguise: while my daughter was spending time happily bouncing the joystick from frame to frame,...

Chyler Leigh’s family has been in the midst of a steady growth spurt for the past six years. But with the May 7th birth of their third child, Anniston Kae, the Grey’s Anatomy star and her husband, actor Nathan West, have found that parenting gets a little bit easier with each addition to their clan.
“Going from zero to one is a huge shock,” Chyler, 27, tells People. “One to two was a little more challenging. Two to three was a bit more challenging, but once you get used to multiples you figure out how to put things together quicker. You learn how to organize. With number three coming, you get more confident as a mom. The third time around, you know what to expect. It’s like calm mom, calm baby.”
It doesn’t hurt that Anni, as they call her, is a mellow baby. “She started sleeping...
