Another Meaghan Martin Fansite

Only one week to go until the premiere of Camp Rock 2, and I’m sure a lot of you are excited! I would be too, if I hadn’t already seen it.

Anyway, in honor of the upcoming movie, I thought I would share a few promo pics of my girl Meaghan Martin (Tess Tyler) from Camp Rock the first.

Tess was a bit of a weird character in the first movie, but she really comes into her own the sequel.

Click any pic to see the rest of the pics from the photoshoot.

Good news for all of you eagerly awaiting the premiere of Camp Rock 2.

The Camp Rock 2 Soundtrack is now available…

… and it’s more than 50% Demi, and like 25% Meaghan.

Disney has also released the Premiere Schedule for the film, bonus music videos, and of course the DVD.

The premiere of Disney’s exhilarating rock ‘n roll musical “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam,” starring Demi Lovato and Jonas Brothers, will be presented across Labor Day weekend with four event telecasts -- each celebrating music and dance with a storyline that suggests life is about the way you play. The fun for kids, tweens and families begins FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 and goes through MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT, each night) on Disney Channel. An extended edition of the movie, featuring two exclusive new music numbers, will be available on Disney Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD on Tuesday, September 7.

During breaks in some of the premiere weekend telecasts, sponsorship messages that extend the movie’s underlying theme will be presented by Sara Lee Soft & Smooth bread, Best Western International, the all-new Honda Odyssey and Verizon.

The soundtrack, featuring 15 songs spanning hip-hip, rock and pop/rock performed by the cast, releases on iTunes and in stores nationwide, Tuesday, August 10.

The 2008 premiere of “Camp Rock” was cable TV’s #1 entertainment telecast of the year in Total Viewers (10.1 million) and TV’s #1 entertainment telecast in Tweens 9-14. Among TV’s live action movies, it was #1 among Kids 6-11 for the year.

The sequel, choreographed by Rosero McCoy, is a tour de force for actress and recording artist Demi Lovato. It showcases both the music and charm of Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas, and includes their younger brother Frankie Jonas in his TV movie debut. The highly anticipated sequel also brings back fan favorites from “Camp Rock,” 2008′s #1 cable TV movie. They are: Maria Canals-Barrera (“Wizards of Waverly Place”), Meaghan Martin (“10 Things I Hate About You”), Alyson Stoner (“Phineas and Ferb,” Step Up 3D”), Anna Maria Perez de Tagle (“Fame”), Jasmine Richards, Daniel Fathers, Roshon Fegan (Disney Channel’s upcoming “Shake it Up”) and Jordan “J” Francis. “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” introduces two exciting new performers, Matthew Mdot Finley and Chloe Bridges. Daniel Kash also stars.

The sequel follows Mitchie and her friends as they return to Camp Rock for another great summer of music and fun. But when big-money, state-of-the-art Camp Star opens across the lake, it lures away many instructors and campers — putting the future of Camp Rock in jeopardy. Mitchie emerges as a leader determined to save the camp and challenges the egocentric Luke Williams and his fellow Camp Star campers to a Final Jam — an end-of-summer performance duel, may the best camp win.

Music from “Camp Rock 2″ is part of a spectacular live concert show headlined by Jonas Brothers, special guest Demi Lovato and “Camp Rock” stars Alyson Stoner, Matthew Mdot Finley, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle and Jordan Francis. Information on the concert, produced by Live Nation, is available at www.jonasbrothers.com.

“Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam: Extended Edition” featuring two exclusive new music numbers — “Walking in My Shoes” and “Different Summers” — will be available in stores on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital combo-pack, from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.

The movie was written by Dan Berendsen (Disney’s “Hannah Montana The Movie” and “Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie”) and the team of Karin Gist and Regina Hicks. It is based on characters created by Karin Gist, Regina Hicks, Julie Brown and Paul Brown. The director and co-producer is DGA Award winner Paul Hoen (Disney Channel’s “The Cheetah Girls One World” and “Jump In”). The producer is Kevin Lafferty and the executive producer is Alan Sacks. “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” is a production of Coin Flip Productions, Ltd. and Alan Sacks Productions in association with Disney Channel.

Today I attended a special advance screening of Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam The Walt Disney Studios’ Studio Theatre in Burbank, California.

Now, D23′s resident “Disney Geek” and host of today’s festivities specifically asked us not to give away any plot point – particularly the ending. But he did say it was okay to discuss our general feelings on the movie, the songs, and the Q&A session after the film with director Paul Hoen, writer Dan Berendsen, Michael Healy, senior vice president, Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney Channel, and Steven Vincent, vice president, Music and Soundtracks, Disney Channel.

Now that I’ve got that disclaimer out of the way, let me say that Camp Rock 2 was awesome – a huge improvement from the first film. If you read my thoughts about the original Camp Rock, you’ll see that my biggest complaint about the original was the atrocious writing. It was almost as if they wrote the music scenes first and then threw together a few plot points to connect them. That was not the case with camp Rock 2.

As Steven Vincent said about the music, “It was driven by the story .. [we] don’t stop for a song” instead the music moves the story along. In a lot of ways, this film was more musical than the original. It was a full on musical, with a touch of the “Musical about a musical” feel of HSM. Michael Healy said that was a conscious decision to “turn it into a full blown musical” and alluded to a decision as one that made the film less realistic. I can’t really speak to the realism element (I mean, no one ever actually breaks out into song) but I think it was a very good move. The film didn’t have that awkward in between feel of CR1.

As for the overall plot, it’s a very different story than the original. Dan Berendsen explained that “This story is timeless … it’s fighting for something you believe in.” Mitchie is a very different character; she was the outsider before but now she’s a definite leader. If you’ve looked at the soundtrack, you’ll know that Demi has a lot of songs on the soundtrack, and that corresponds to a lot of screen time. Of course, she is the star! Mitchie essentially takes command of Camp Rock following the exodus of most of their staff to Camp Star. The always self-centered Tess Tyler (Meaghan Martin) seemed to learn her lesson from the first movie, but still quickly defected to the other camp thus allowing her to be an antagonist once more. Caitlyn Geller (Alyson Stoner) seemed to have a lot more screen time, although she still didn’t sing much. Joe was actually… dare I say it, kinda good as Shane Gray. The Nate (Nick Jonas) and Dana (Chloe Bridges) subplot was okay; nothing special. Jason (Kevin Jonas) was, as usual, just kinda there. Although there was one good line during the tour bus scene. Maria Canals-Barrera also reprized her role as Mitchie’s mom, but she was hardly even in the film.

Again, I don’t wanna give too much away, but this really is a solid film. Demi gives a very solid performance and the whole team really pulls it together. I give it a 4.5/5, which is among the highest rating I have ever given a DCOM. And what of Camp Rock 3? I think Michael Healy said it best, “Never say never [but] it would be hard to round everybody up.”

But just for fun, I want to share one more though from Senior VP Michael Healy when asked about Disney’s developing talent, he quickly responded “Selena is a fantastic star” then he paused for a moment before continuing, “um, well, Bridgit.” and finally concluding with one final thought, “I wish we had Raven back though.”

While I was doing some research for Mean Girls 2 I came across some pics and videos of Meaghan Martin singing last year. I hadn’t seen any of these before, so I figured some of you likely haven’t either.

In July of last year Meaghan preformed at Penn’s Landing’s Fam Jams concert along with the Naked Brothers Band. I kinda vaguely remember hearing about this, but she never did anything out here near me.

Meaghan performed a half hour set. She opened with “2 Stars” then sang “Circle of Life” and “Magic,” which can be heard on DisneyMania 7 and the Wizards of Waverly Place Soundtrack respectively. She closed with a song she co-wrote called “You” and the “Camp Rock” song, “Too Cool.”

Here are a couple videos of Meaghan singing “2 Stars”…

… and “You.”

Finally! The final cast list for Mean Girls 2! Meaghan Martin is gonna do a great job as the new “New Girl” and Nicole Anderson will totally rock as a plastic. And Jennifer Stone’s playing the unpopular girl – perfect. LOL

PARAMOUNT FINALIZES CAST AND BEGINS PRODUCTION ON MEAN GIRLS 2!

The highly anticipated sequel to the 2004 smash hit Mean Girls is scheduled to hit theaters nationwide in Spring 2011. Principal production for Mean Girls 2 is now underway in Atlanta, Georgia featuring host of fresh young stars. The story revolves around a new high school student, Jo (Meaghan Martin), who agrees to befriend an unpopular girl named Abby (Jennifer Stone) at the urging of Abby’s wealthy father in exchange for paying all of Jo’s costs for the college of her dreams. Jo and Abby team up to take on the school’s mean girls, “The Plastics” (played by Nicole Anderson, Maiara Walsh and Claire Holt).  The story becomes a high stakes battle of loyalty that ultimately comes to a head when one of our heroines finds out that her friendship has been bought and paid for. “Mean Girls 2 delivers more of the teen comedy that audiences loved in the original Mean Girls and we’re thrilled to have Melanie Mayron, the talented director and actress, at the helm,” said Louis Feola, President of Paramount Famous Productions. “This brand new story, with our great cast, takes a fresh and funny look at the pressures of high school friendships and the struggle to fit in with a whole new level of contemporary meanness that today’s audience will relate too.”

Friends for Change is so stupid. Remember the Happy Helpers club from Wizards? That’s what Friends for Change is.

Anyway, we’re coming up on the one year anniversary of the program, and Disney’s issues a press release about the pledges they’ve gotten so far and what they plan to do going forward.

They also just released a new Friends For Change group picture.

There’s no Miley, no Emily, and no Selena. But they did make sure to include the Disney XD kids. WTF?

Anyway, Disney Press Release Follows:

DISNEY’S FRIENDS FOR CHANGE: PROJECT GREEN KEEPS ON GROWING!
YEAR TWO LAUNCHES WITH NEW VIDEOS FROM DISNEY STARS
AND KID-FRIENDLY WAYS TO SAVE THE PLANET

Nearly 2 Million Promises from Kids to Help the Planet;
2 Million Dollars Donated by Disney to Environmental Charities

May 26, 2010 — Burbank, Calif. — What a difference a year can make, for the planet and for kids! Disney’s Friends for Change: Project Green is celebrating its one-year anniversary with the premiere of all-new content. Starting May 30, new on-air messages will begin airing on Disney Channel and Disney XD. They feature nearly 40 Disney stars, including the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato, as well as young environmental heroes. The spots will also be featured on Radio Disney and the recently redesigned program website, www.Disney.com/projectgreen.

A Program with Purpose
The aim of this ambitious movement is to empower children to take charge when it comes to the environment, whether it’s their own piece of the planet or a big picture approach.

"With Disney’s Friends for Change: Project Green, kids are discovering that helping the planet is easy and fun when they work together and have the right tools,"� said Jennifer Anopolsky, senior vice president, Corporate Responsibility, The Walt Disney Company. "In just one year, participation has exceeded our wildest expectations, and we’re building on that momentum by extending Friends for Change to kids in other parts of the world and enhancing the program with fresh new content, local community events, and more grant money that will empower kids with even more ways to get involved."�

Twelve months after the launch of Disney’s Friends for Change: Project Green, kids have made nearly two million personal promises to change their daily routines, from unplugging electrical devices when not in use to taking shorter showers.

Kids can also go global with their votes on where to allocate Disney grant money. As a result, one million dollars in grants from Disney are now supporting 25 critical environmental projects around the world.

With the new videos and web content debuting May 30, young people will learn even more ways to recycle, save water, help habitats and reduce energy consumption. They will also have the opportunity to again vote on how another $1 million in grants will support worthy environmental causes throughout the year.

Kids Making a Difference
Disney’s Friends for Change: Project Green is setting the pace for environmental initiative. With nearly two million promises, kids have pledged to:

"¢Cut 70,000 tons of carbon emissions annually

"¢Reduce/recycle 2.4 million pounds of trash annually

"¢Save 120 million gallons of water per month

Kids are also learning about the power of their vote. Thanks to their input, Disney has donated more than one million dollars to 25 environmental projects in 15 countries, including:

"¢$50,000 to the National Resource Council to help fund a forest restoration project in Costa Rica.

"¢$25,000 to the African Wildlife Foundation to help protect elephant habitats in Zambia.

Kids can turn their own local environmental project into a reality. Disney’s Friends for Change grants, in collaboration with Youth Service America, provide seed money to help get them started. The next call for grant applications opens June 7. To date, these grants have positively influenced nearly 8,000 kids. See http://www.youthserviceamerica.org/grants/programs/friends-for-change for more information.

Kids can also help raise money through iTunes downloads of Disney’s Friends for Change anthems "Send It On"� and "Make a Wave."� At last count, nearly 700-thousand dollars, representing 100-percent of download proceeds, have been contributed to the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund. (www.disney.com/conservation)

Full Speed Ahead
Disney’s Friends for Change: Project Green is set expand locally and globally in the coming year:

"¢Local events in cities across the country will inspire kids through hands-on experiences, including tree-planting and clean-ups. The first event kicks off June 6th, World Oceans Day, at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.

"¢Disney’s Friends for Change: Project Green launched last month in Latin America. Kids have already made more than 200,000 promises! European markets are next in line.

About Disney’s Friends for Change: Project Green
Disney’s Friends for Change: Project Green is a multi-platform initiative that empowers kids to help the planet. Through the program, kids learn practical ways to help the environment, get their friends involved, track their collective impact and have the opportunity to help Disney decide how to divide $1 million in annual donations to various environmental causes. Kids can join for free at www.Disney.com/projectgreen

Just a reminder that the Series Finale of 10 Things I Hate About You airs tonight on ABC Family.

Remember to visit our Save 10 Things website and SDS Mail to protest this all to short run for the show.

Also, here’s a new Twitter pic of Meaghan Martin and Fred. What a name for a dog. LOL

We know from twitter that Meaghan has been on vacation the past couple days. Yesterday she was snorkeling in Molokini, Hawaii – “The beauty of the reefs was almost overwhelming!”

And today, she is “About to scuba dive for the first time ever!”

Well Meaghan, what took you so long?

Well, we finally have an official Camp Rock 2 Press release.

It sounds like they’re gonna release the Soundtrack more than a month in advance of the movie! And for some reason, they’re holding back the actual movie premiere until the end of summer. I thought it was supposed to be the start of Summer movie?

Anyway, I look forward to seeing more of Demi Lovato and Meaghan Martin.

Official press release follows:

This summer of fun opens on a high-pitched Camp Rock reunion. All the Camp Rockers have returned, eager to tune up and rock out. Nobody’s more excited than Mitchie, who anticipates more than a summer of music. Fresh from a world tour, the rock band Connect 3 are hanging all summer – Shane to pursue last summer’s crush on Mitchie, his band mates as moral support. Guitar legend Brown Cesario, Camp Rock’s owner, is ready to rock ‘n roll.

But all is not copasetic at this rocking teen paradise. Across the lake glistens the new Camp Star: a high-tech, big-money music camp funded by Brown’s former band mate-with-a-grudge, Axel Turner. Down-to-earth Camp Rock may have passion, talent and commitment, but Camp Star boasts resources, infrastructure and money — enough money to poach Camp Rock’s counselors and put Camp Rock out of business.

But Axel isn’t counting on a natural born leader named Mitchie, who vows to save her beloved camp and her friends’ summer. Clipboard in hand, she organizes the older Camp Rockers into counselors and keeps the camp running. Then Mitchie steps it up again"¦ by challenging the egocentric Camp Star to a Final Jam — an end-of-summer performance duel"¦ may the best camp win.

Starring are Demi Lovato as Mitchie Torres, Joe Jonas as Shane Gray, Nick Jonas as Nate, Kevin Jonas as Jason, Alyson Stoner as Caitlyn Geller, Meaghan Martin as Tess Tyler, Jasmine Richards as Peggy, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle as Ella, Matthew “Mdot” Finley as Luke, Chloe Bridges as Dana Turner, Roshon Fegan as Sander, Jordan “J” Francis as Barron, Maria Canals-Barrera as Connie Torres, Daniel Fathers as Brown and Daniel Kash as Axel Turner.
