			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-947" style="margin: 10px 20px;" title="Demi Lavato" src="http://www.auditionsfordisney.com/home/audition/public_html/auditionsfordisney.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Demi-Lavato.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" />Whats this Demi Lovato rehab about you might be asking. Its a sad day for a lot of fans, and hopefully a day that will help Demi Lovato get what she needs. According to reports, Demi is calling it quits early on the tour with the Jonas Brothers. According to one report, the Demi Lovato rehab is for “emotional and physical issues&#8221;.</p>
<p>Another report tells us that she recently fought with another dancer. We don&#8217;t know exactly what is going on with Demi, but we really wish her the best and hope she is able to get the time needed away from the fan limelight to rest and come back.</p>
<p>Some other signs according to one source that she was having some serious troubles was that her twitter account was being deleted and added back. Could it be some crazy stalker fans that are bothering her? Could it be that she has just been on the road for too long and needs a break? Whatever the issue is, Demi needs to do whats best for her right now and get the proper treatment.</p>
<p>We only wish the best for her and her family with this recent incident, and we are certain other people are going to look too deep into this and cause more of a stir, but until we actually get information from the source, we don&#8217;t know exactly what caused the sudden need for Demi Lovato to go into rehab.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aly Michalka has been spotted by reporters of CBS news filming new episodes of Hellcats in Vancouver, Canada. In her new interview with Venice magazine, she really opens up and discusses why she isn&#8217;t doing the whole club scene. This is a really classy interview, and contains photos of Aly and friends.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-944" title="Alyson Michalka" src="http://www.auditionsfordisney.com/home/audition/public_html/auditionsfordisney.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Aly-Michalka.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="405" /></p>
<p>More than anything her desire as she puts it is this, &#8220;I just want to make art that will hopefully make people feel inspired.&#8221; Truly an example for all those at the Disney channel to look at. When an actor or actress has opportunity to expand on a Disney career, this is where many times they sink or swim. For Aly Michalka its a lot of swimming. Showing folks you truly can make it in the industry without getting yourself into trouble.</p>
<p>You can find out more in the new Venice magazine where Aly talks about her future goals and how she hopes to have an effect on other young teens who are making the same strides in the TV and movie industry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought it would be fun to discuss <strong>American Idol </strong>and the contestants here. We can talk about who you like, who you are upset that got voted off and just about the talent in general.</p>
<p>On last night&#8217;s show <strong>Lacey Brown</strong> was sent home after singing Ruby Tuesday for their Rolling Stones theme night. The judges decided not to use their save on her and it&#8217;s now down to the top 11. Contestants<strong> Tim Urban</strong> and <strong>Paige Miles</strong> were in the bottom three with Lacey.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.auditionsfordisney.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/lacey_brown.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-823" title="97435137KS006_Fox_s_Meet_Th" src="http://www.auditionsfordisney.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/lacey_brown.jpg" alt="97435137KS006_Fox_s_Meet_Th" width="485" height="362" /></a></p>

<p><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.pis.picapp.com/IamProd/PicAppPIS/JavaScript/PisV4.js"></script>Yesterday (March 15) was the public&#8217;s last day to submit their <strong>audition tapes for the X Factor</strong>. This was the first time people could upload a video that they made at home.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what <strong>X Factor judge Louis Walsh</strong> thinks they will see this year because of the change:</p>
<p>&#8220;Some people probably have more confidence at home with their family, so  I think we&#8217;ll see their raw talent and then we can get them into the  studio. I think it&#8217;ll be easier for younger people.&#8221;</p>
<p>What does he hope to see?</p>
<p>&#8220;I want some really good contemporary groups,&#8221; he admitted. &#8220;I don&#8217;t  just want the usual Celine Dion and all that type of thing.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want some really good boy bands, girl bands and maybe some  really good mixed bands. It could be the year for a group to win it.&#8221;</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait to see some audition tapes X Factor hopefuls sent in!</p>

They have been invited by <strong>First Lady Michelle Obama</strong> to perform at the annual <strong>White House Easter Egg Roll</strong> on Monday, April 5th! And it looks like everything is falling into place for them to actually get to do it!</p>

<p>Mrs. Obama and her daughters are big fans of the show, so when they came calling, Glee&#8217;s producers did some re-scheduling to make room for the event.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t not imagine how excited they must be. This is a huge honor! Do you watch Glee? We love the show!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.auditionsfordisney.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/INFphoto_970016.JPG"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-697" title="Bristol Palin" src="http://www.auditionsfordisney.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/INFphoto_970016.JPG" alt="Bristol Palin" width="250" height="378" /></a>Bristol Palin</strong>, eldest daughter of former Alaskan Governor and Vice Presidential candidate <strong>Sarah Palin</strong>, will make her acting debut on <strong>ABC Family</strong>’s hit original drama series,<em><strong> “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.”</strong></em> The episode will shoot in Los Angeles and air this summer when the series returns for its third season on ABC Family.</p>
<p>Said Executive Producer Brenda Hampton: <em>&#8220;Bristol Palin is the most famous teenage mother in America. We&#8217;re thrilled to have her join us, and I think she will bring additional attention to the issues facing teen parents that we&#8217;ve been exploring for a couple of seasons now.” </em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;I am thrilled to be on this show and to be a part of a program that educates teens and young adults about the consequences of teen pregnancy,”</em> said Palin from her home in Anchorage, Alaska.</p>
<p><strong>Palin</strong> will be playing herself, as one of Amy&#8217;s (<strong>Shailene Woodley</strong>) friends at a music program for teen mothers.<strong><em> “The Secret Life of the American Teenager”</em></strong> debuted to record ratings for ABC Family in June 2008 and continues to draw the biggest audience in the history of the network. “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” currently airs on Monday nights at 8:00PM ET/PT.</p>
<p>The heartfelt drama focuses on the relationships between families and friends and how they deal with teenage issues, including an unexpected pregnancy. Created and executive-produced by Brenda Hampton, the series stars Shailene Woodley, Molly Ringwald, Mark Derwin, India Eisley, Ken Baumann, Daren Kagasoff, Francia Raisa, Megan Park and Greg Finley.</p>
<p>The series has been hailed by critics for tackling sensitive topics with a sense of empathy, realism and consequences, including the Los Angeles Times, which proclaimed, “Teen dramas such as ‘Secret Life’ that explore the weighty subject of pregnancy dramatize these statistics in a way that demonstrates that even the seemingly least likely person is at risk – even the Amy Juergenses of the world.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looks like trying to fill the role of <strong>Mary Poppins</strong> in the musical in Australia is harder than one anticipated. According to <a href="http://www.theage.com.au/news/entertainment/arts/300-women-audition-and-still-no-mary-poppins/2010/02/05/1265151969596.html">The Age</a>, 300 women have auditioned for the role and still no announcement has been made as to who got the part.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.auditionsfordisney.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mary-poppins.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-525 aligncenter" title="mary-poppins" src="http://www.auditionsfordisney.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mary-poppins.jpg" alt="mary-poppins" width="445" height="349" /></a></p>
<p>If you think about it, the <strong>role of Mary Poppins</strong> is huge &#8211; you need wit, a great voice, some comedy acting abilities and you need to dance along the stage almost like you&#8217;re floating &#8211; oh and then there&#8217;s the flying through the air with an umbrella thing to.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the problem exactly with filling the role?</p>
<p>James Thane, the managing director of the show said, <em>&#8221;There have only been six women to play the role in London and New York over the past five years. It&#8217;s hard to find people who can play the role and that&#8217;s nothing to do with where they came from. We are determined to make the seventh Mary Poppins an Australian&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>They do have a short list of women who are experienced but not well known. I am really looking forward to seeing who nabs this role. What a crazy, crazy auditioning process!</p>
