Will Wizards of Waverly Place the Movie be Magical?

So it must be a pretty slow news day in Hollywood if I'm writing about a Disney Channel Original movie. I double checked the AP wire and all there was was Miley's stalker updates and Kate Gosselin hosting The View. Sorry but both of those topics make me nautious... so it's movie review time!
While I highly doubt I'll end up watching Wizards of Waverly Place the Movie... I don't think I'd discourage Disney fans from giving it a go. I have read multiple reviews and a USA Today preview and it sounds as though the movie will strike gold with its intended viewing audience. Thanks to Twitter, I was passed along the link to this clip featuring series star Selena Gomez. I'll be honest, out of all the Disney tween queens it appears she has the brightest acting future. I have a feeling if this film is at all a success, it'll be because of her incredible charm.
The movie is an extension of the popular TV series... which if you aren't aware already follows a family of wizards (yeah so the title pretty much says it all). The show is cute, quirky, and wholesome (Disney is a nutshell). While aimed at the younger crowd, I've seen it deliver a laugh or two to some twenty-somethings as well (you'd be surprised how many college kids watch the Disney Channel).
Like most Disney Channel originals, WOWP won't deliver amazing special effects, stellar acting, or a superb plot-driven feature. There is a reason the film didn't make it to the big screen... but remember neither did the first two High School Musicals. Don't knock a film just because it debuts on TV, but don't expect it to win any awards either.
So if you are bored this weekend WOWP may just be the two hour block of entertainment you were looking for... just don't blame me if it sucks... I warned you.

SELENA GOMEZ SUMMER SENSATION?

I thought that the EBUZZ summer poll would be a runaway. I expected EBUZZ viewers to vote Miley Cyrus as the Disney star most likely to have the biggest summer. I'm happy to say that EBUZZ readers know their stuff...that's why Selena Gomez is neck and neck with Cyrus in the poll.
Selena is starting off her sensational summer with the Disney Channel Original Movie Princess Protection Program. Gomez will be joined onscreen by Demi Lovato and combined they should be a force to reckon with (I think the film could give the first HSM a run for it's money in ratings).
She'll get to bask in the glory of the film's success for a month before turning around to promote another Disney Channel Original film Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie. The trailer for which just came out and you can see below.
So my question is this: Can anyone compete with the Disney machine over the summer?

Sorry Twilight Fans, Taylor Lautner is Taken

Michigan native (Grand Rapids) Taylor Lautner, 17, has been on a number of woman's radars after his casting in the mega-hit vampire franchise Twilight. Fans of the series who have been drooling over the buff werewolf apparently aren't the only ones...
Lautner has recently been linked to Disney channel starlet (and rumored heir to the Miley throne) 16 year old Selena Gomez. The Wizards of Waverly Place star has been in Canada shooting Beezus while Launtner has been there shooting New Moon. People.com has reported the two have been spending lots of time together and have been spotted cuddling at the movies and eating together.
I've scoured Gomez's Twitter account (which she updates with a surprising frequency) and can't find any link to Lautner...but he may not have hopped on board the Twitter train himself so I won't rush to judgement on that point just yet.

I'm going to...Where?!

Misty May-Treanor just won a gold medal in beach volleyball at the Beijing Olympics.  So now that's she has won the star has announced she's going...hold on...where again? It's not Disney World.  But it's close!

  Misty will be guest-starring on the Disney Channel show Wizards of Waverly Place (You've heard of it because it stars Selena Gomez, the rumored rebound of Nick Jonas).  

  If you aren't a fan of the Disney Channel you can catch Misty on this season's Dancing With the Stars.  

  I still think I just would have gone to Disney World.
