Editor's Pick
Welcome
to the (Eclectic) Weekend Update!
Have you ever checked out the Weekend Update? This amazing weekly
column Highlights the week in entertainments, amusements and
interesting locales around the world. This past week was an
eclectic mix, to put it mildly, featuring Disneyland in California,
the Cinderella Castle at WDW through the years, and the Musee
Mechanique in San Francisco, California. A weekly gem
that's not to be missed.

I've only got one park on my mind with my trip to Disneyland
coming up this weekend, but let's take a break and see what's
happening at other parks this week. ~elly

Looks like King's Island is a popular place for the Knieval
family as Evel's son Robbie looks to outdo his father's famous
jump there with one of his own. Joshrzmeup
has the lowdown for us in this thread.

Nude 'Tweens Should Not be Disney Branded: The Sequel
Can Annie Leibovitz do no wrong? Another Disney
teen star pushes
the envelope and the finger pointing begins.
This week, some controversy for a couple of Disney Channel
Stars, and a former Disney CEO gets his star; is it deserved?
- Sir Clinksalot
Miley
Cyrus on Vanity Fair photos, 'Embarassing' not 'Artsy'
Teen Star Hannah Montana is now enthralled in a controversy
unbecoming a Disney channel star. The actress/singer/media
sensation took some pictures with Vanity Fair's Annie Leibovitz
which she first called 'Artsy' but now is saying they are
embarrassing. Hopefully Miley won't fall into the traps that have seem to have ruined
many a career.
Brenda
Song Files Lawsuit
In another Disney Channel related story, Brenda Song of 'Zach
and Cody' fame has filed a lawsuit against Vibe weekly who
apparently used her photo to promote an escort service in
LA Weekly magazine. Unlike Cyrus, Song didn't pose for
or approve the picture for use in the magazine.
Michael
Eisner receiving star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
Last week former Disney CEO Michael Eisner received
his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Even though his
second decade with the Walt Disney Company was filled with
controversy, (cheap movies, under performing half day parks and direct to
DVD sequels), many feel his first ten years with the company more
than qualify him to receive his star. Especially compared to recent recipients
such as Vince McMahon (WWE) and Sean
Diddy Combs.
