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.”

One thing about summer: the movies are great, the TV...not so much. Luckily, Disney Channel is keeping up new episodes of their series. The cast of "Shake It Up" tells KidsPickFlicks their movie Picks!
Zendaya (who plays "Rocky Blue") says picking just one movie as her favorite is "really hard!" But, she came up with Two movies as her Pick: "The Princess and the Frog is one of my favorites. Shrek is also one of my favorites. Oh man, there are so many!"
Adam Irigoyen ("Deuce") says, "I gotta admit, Toy Story 3. I'm not going to lie, it was amazing...it Was Amazing! I was kinda sad at the end when they left Andy."
Kenton Duty ("Gunther") says, "Tangled was really good: It was amazing, instant classic! I love that movie; the music was really good too! Go Mandy! I also loved Toy Story: Tim and Tom are amazing guys.

Fox has picked up comic book drama "Human Target" and single-camera comedy "Sons of Tucson" to series.
"Target," from Wbtv, DC Comics and Wonderland, emerged as an early front-runner and was the best-received pilot at the network's screenings last week.
