Onetime Disney Channel starlet Bella Thorne says that she was nearly made to bow out of Shake It Up!, due to a choice in beachwear.
As a recent guest on the High Low With EmRata podcast, Thorne recounted instances of being sexualized as a preteen and teen, including an instance where, at age 10, she said a casting agent reported back to her mom, “she’s not moving forward because the director felt like she was flirting with him, and it made him really uncomfortable.”

There are two kinds of people still watching The Walking Dead: those who love the gore quotient and believe zombies are the true enemy of the people and those who understand that the undead are merely a catalyst to expose the evil that has always lived within. I’m of the latter group because the drama is always more real when it builds between two very different people trying to survive via diametrically opposed ways than when it’s just the living bashing the skulls of unfeeling hollow shells. So it intrigued me when hearing zombie film What Still Remains called an apocalyptic thriller. The two descriptions are hardly mutually exclusive, but they do both sell vastly different content. Writer/director Josh Mendoza’s world isn’t being consumed. It already has been.

People become their own kind of monster. Spotlight Pictures has released the first trailer for the indie post-apocalyptic thriller titled What Still Remains, from writer/director Josh Mendoza. We've been getting quite a few of these indie post-apocalyptic films recently, and this one already reminds me of all the others. Lulu Antariksa stars a woman struggling to survive in a world long-since destroyed by disease. When a lonely traveler offers her a place in his community, she must decide if the promise of a better life is worth the risk of trusting him. Also stars Liam Hemsworth lookalike Colin O'Donoghue, plus Dohn Norwood, Peter O'Brien, Mimi Rogers, Jeff Kober, Roshon Fegan, Siena Goines, Chris Ellis, and Tobias Jelinek. This unfortunately doesn't look unique or good in any way. But happy to share the trailer anyway. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Josh Mendoza's What Still Remains, direct from YouTube...

Last night was a really good night! I was an invited guest to go to premiere of the the Justin Bieber Believe movie. My friend Bella and I got there early so we waited in the theater for a while. But while we there, we saw Jaden Smith, Moises Arias, Kylie Jenner, Pia Mia, Roshon Fegan, Kiernan Shipka (who is really pretty in real life!), Jessica Jarrell and Brad Garrett and his daughter. I saw Kat McNamara instagram that she was there but I didn't run into her. Also, even though I never saw her, Madison Beer was at the movie, too, because I talked with her mom Tracie and brother Ryder for a while (they also couldn't find Madison!). Best of all, China Anne McClain remembered me from our Grown Ups 2 interview and she came over and gave me two really big hugs.

Was the ‘Shake It Up’ finale everything you hoped it would be? Read our review, then give us yours!
CeCe (Bella Thorne) and the rest of the crew danced off into the sunset on the Nov. 10 series finale of Disney Channel’s Shake It Up, and for an impromptu last episode — Zendaya recently told HollywoodLife.com she thought it “fits the finale mold” – it was a pretty satisfying send-off.
Here’s what went down: After CeCe took a tumble during a charity fashion show — oh, that girl, clumsy ’til the end! — she was stricken with amnesia, leaving her friends and family to jog her memory. There were a few bumps in the process, like when CeCe mistook Tinka (Caroline Sunshine) for her best friend, but everything turned out right in the end.
So, it was basically like the final episode of Full House, only CeCe didn’t need a translucent...

"When Iron Man crash lands in the small town of Rose Hill," says host Roshon Fegan, "he finds an unlikely ally in a kid named Harley who helps him get back on his feet." Check out the whole clip below before it disappears.
Now, it's entirely possible that Harley's role is being hyped up here because this is for the Disney Channel and, well, kids would obviously get excited about seeing a kid hanging out with Iron Man.

Zendaya continues to wow the judges and audience on "Dancing With the Stars," but she took some time out to talk about the experience on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." The 16-year-old Disney Channel star has been at the top of the leaderboard for the first two weeks of the competition. But how does she handle the pressure?
She seeks advice from friends, like former competitor Roshon Fegan, who co-stars in "Shake It Up" with her. His advice, though, was a little weird.
"He told me that the best piece of advice was to blow my nose before I go out on stage and I was like, Ok, like, what does that have to do with anything?" Zendaya said. "He said, it’s live. There are HD cameras. Snot will fly."
Kimmel agreed that it was "good, practical advice." The way things are going, Zendaya is going to be blowing her nose...

Justin Bieber knows that the best may to make an entrance is on a Segway. And that's just what the 18-year-old music superstar did when he surprised finalists from Disney Channel's Make Your Mark: Shake It Up Dance Off this week at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Dressed casually in black pants, a black shirt and black beanie, Biebs, along with Shake It Up! star Roshon Fegan, had an impromptu meet and greet with over a dozen of the reality competition show's hopefuls.

New Orleans -- The Essence Music Festival kicked off Thursday with events geared for the young.
Organizers planned to hold talks at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center on crime, education and other issues affecting today's youth as a prelude to teen musical acts scheduled to hit the Superdome stage later in the evening.
Essence is one of the premiere music festivals celebrating black culture and music. It's been held every Independence Day weekend since its inception in 1995, when it marked the 25th anniversary of Essence magazine.
As in years past, the festival tackles themes of importance to African Americans, such as education and the upcoming presidential election. But above all, Essence is a celebration of music.
Opening day was to be all about recognizing newcomers to the music scene, including the Disney Channel's Coco Jones, rapper Diggy Simmons, the Omg Girlz, Roshon Fegan, Katlyn Nichol, Square Off and New...

After a season full of injuries, record-breaking high scores and William Levy, "Dancing With the Stars" crowned its Season 14 winner: Donald Driver, Green Bay Packers wide receiver.
Driver, together with his pro partner Peta Murgatroyd, wowed the audience with their show-stopping freestyle. This is the first win for Murgatroyd, who joined "Dancing With the Stars" as a featured pro last season.
Despite the judges' constant accolades, opera singer Katherine Jenkins, the early frontrunner in the competition, took second place with her partner Mark Ballas. As always, the freestyle challenge was a game changer. Latin heartthrob William Levy, together with his partner Cheryl Burke, came in third after a disappointing freestyle dance.
With a two-hour show, there was a lot of filler leading up to the big announcement, including performances by Kelly Clarkson and former "Dancing With the Stars" competitor Gladys Knight. All the season's castoffs returned -- Knight, Martina Navratilova,...

The victor for this season's Dancing With the Stars has been named, but the fun isn't over just yet! In case you've forgotten, ABC announced that next season of Dancing will bring back some fan favorites for an all-star edition (yay!), and tonight, we found out some contestants are already willing and ready to dance their booty off again for another chance of bringing home that mirror-ball trophy.

Roshon Fegen told us that he's totally game for coming back if he was asked and if his schedule permits, along with Gavin DeGraw, who was a little more apprehensive about the idea, but said he'd consider it. Meanwhile, Gladys Knight, Katherine Jenkins and Donald...

In a stunning blaze of glory, Green Bay Packer Donald Driver scored a dancing touchdown as he danced off with the Dancing with the Stars Season 14 Mirrorball Trophy. See the big moment in the video below. In second place was Katherine Jenkins followed by William Levy in third place. This is truly a glorious win, because out of all the contenders this season, it was Donald who showed the most growth and the most determination to win that trophy. Many football players have appeared on the show and won, but what makes this win so special is that Donald is truly a fan of the show and it was his dream to compete. (And not many football players would admit to this either!) His Monday night freestyle, one of the best ever, helped secure his win...

Dancing with the Stars Season 14 Semifinals: Katherine Jenkins Injures Back
Dancing with the Stars moved one step closer to crowning the champ of Season 14. In the semifinal round, the remaining 4 contestants competed for spot in the finals. In yesterday’s article I said there would be show stoppers, but I meant exceptional performance elements. Not the buckets of tears and injuries that seemed to top the leaderboard.
Rough childhoods, bad breakups and hard times dominated the video packages, leading most of the contestants (save for William) to cry before their dances. Derek Hough suffered a back injury during rehearsals and it couldn’t even be confirmed before show time that he would actually dance. Maria Menounos is always injured so nothing new there. They told viewers that three doctors were on the Dancing with the Stars set Monday to help see them through. Then there was the debacle Katherine and...

After making it to the top six on Season 14 of "Dancing with the Stars," actor and singer Roshon Fegan now has his mind set emphatically on making music. He released his first Ep, "I Am Ro-Shon" in February and intends to keep dropping what's hot when it comes to beats and melodies.
"My new way of doing it is just dropping as much music as I can, you know?" Fegan explains to Zap2It at Kiis FM's annual Wango Tango concert on Saturday (May 12). "I'm just trying to do a whole bunch of free stuff, mixtape stuff, dropping stuff ridiculously everywhere so that's it's undeniable. That's the way it's done these days."
In fact, at this point, the budding pop star says a full-fledged album is almost passé.
He notes, "I think, at a certain extent, an album is not worth much anymore, not as a much as a hit single,...

Tonight on Dancing with the Stars: It’s the Season 14 Semifinals!
The Dancing with the Stars semifinals kicks off this week to determine the finalists of Season 14. Tonight’s hour and a half show will see the four remaining couples dance a ballroom and Latin dance. The contestants will be giving it their all this week for a chance to compete in the Finals and the ultimate quest for the Mirrorball Trophy.
One couple will be eliminated on Tuesday, leaving the top 3 to compete in the finals. Who will make the final cut? Even Las Vegas odds makers have weighed in on the competition. Surprisingly, they have Katherine Jenkins tied with Maria Menounos at the bottom, which means they predict either one will be eliminated this week. Last week they had Roshon Fegan in last place, and he was indeed eliminated. Perhaps we should pay close attention to their predictions!
