Gossip Teen

Bridgit Mendler may be the next big thing and Disney seems to agree. The network has cast her as the lead in their latest hottest property Lemonade Mouth. The book about five Rhode Island teens who meet in detention and form a band is being developed to take Disney forward with a new crop of teen stars. Mendler will play Olivia and joining her is Hayley Kiyoko (Stella,) Adam Hicks (Wen,) Naomi Scott (Mo,) and Blake Michael (Charlie.)

Production has started in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the made for TV movie will hit sometime in 2011.

High School Musical is done (at least the original.) Camp Rock 2 will hit soon and that will be over. Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana are ending their series soon and the House of Mouse needs some replacement material and new talent to develop.

Lemonade Mouth is a great book and could be so fun. I’m looking forward to it.

Singer/actress Bridgit Mendler released a music video for the single “How To Believe”, which is featured on the new “Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue” DVD out on September 21st (watch video below).

The 17 year-old, who was on Disney’s JONAS and Good Luck Charlie, has a beautiful voice and this is the typical fairytale song – the perfect combination! Bridgit is very talented and we are sure we are going to hear a lot more from her.

Victoria Justice and Bridgit Mendler are ready to break into the big time with their own shows. The two seventeen year old actresses have been working steadily for quite some time and are now poised to capture that elusive teen/tween stardom thanks to Disney and Nickelodeon.

There seems to be a wealth of TV tween stars at the moment, raising the question is there room for two more. The Jonas Brothers have their own eponymous show, Miranda Cosgrove has become nearly a household name on “iCarly” and so has Selena Gomez on “Wizards of Waverly Place,” their images plastered all over TV, on lunch boxes, backpacks, even the sides of buses.

Mendler’s show, Good Luck Charlie premiered recently on Disney to strong ratings and Justice’s show for Nickelodeon, Victorious, also did very well in it’s initial airing. So what do you think about these two up and coming stars? Do you like them and their shows?
