Debby Ryans Jessie Begins Filming
Debby Ryans new show Jessie filmed its first episode back on Friday, June 17th 2011 at Hollywood Center Studios. In the new series, Debby plays recent HS graduate Jessie who was raised in rural Texas. She wants to be a singer/actress and comes to New York to chase that dream. She ends up as a live in nanny to four kids, three of whom are adopted from all over the world. The parents are like Brangelina with the mom an ex-model and the dad having a movie background. Jessie quickly finds herself hired and on the job.
Its very much unlike any show Disney has ever ordered for DC. If it succeeds it could be a major game changer for the future of the network. If it fails, well, expect more shows built on the HM formula for a loooong time. The show is expected to premiere in the fall. We will of course continue to keep you updated.

KIM POSSIBLE FAN CONVENTION 2012: WHATS THE SITCH?
On July 15, a gentleman started positing on various Kim Possible fan sites across the Internet. His one question was anyone interested seriously interested in having a fan celebration to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Kim Possible.
The idea isnt without precedent the Disney animated show GARGOYLES had a 13-year run of fan gatherings in different spots around the country. But there are challenges: KP fans had never successfully organized a fan gathering during the run of the show, the show ended its original broadcast run in 2007, it is currently not being shown in reruns anywhere in the US, and the last previous online effort surrounding the show left fans feeling bitter about the owner of the show, The Walt Disney Company.
On July 21, a Facebook page appeared online: KIM POSSIBLE FAN CONVENTION 2012. The goal was simple. Find 100 serious KP fans willing to indicate they liked the idea of such an event. It they stepped forward, then work would commence on building the event from idea into reality.
My name is Donald Speirs. Im the gentleman with that idea, and today Im happy to announce that we have reached and shattered that goal. As of August 1st, we start the planning stages for a Kim Possible Fan Convention 2012.
The goal of the event is simple. Were going to celebrate the creative team that came together and gave us the first great heroine of the 21st century. Well have fun sharing Kim stuff. And this will be a fan convention, so we will be taking in ideas on what things should be at such a gathering.
Were in the very early planning stages but youre in for a treat. For one thing, its not just fans who want this event. Word of this project made its way to Hollywood, and some people came to Facebook and said theyre excited about this event as well: Kurt Weldon. Thomas Hart. Mark Drop. Brian Swenlin. Stephen Silver. Lisa Schaffer. Andy Ice. Adam Berry. Steve Loter. Bob Schooley (yes, that Bob Schooley). With their input on the event as well, I expect this will be a fan event unlike any other.
So pencil in these dates on your calendar: June 8-10, 2012. Visit and like the Facebook Page for the Kim Possible Fan Convention 2012. Once there, youll get updates from me and the rest of Team Possible 2012 about whats happening.
Come, join us as we celebrate the first great heroine of the 21st century!.
