No need to pinch yourselves, tweeners. You're not dreaming.

Disney has gathered their brightest stars, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and the Jonas Brothers for a "We Are the World"-like music video for Friends for Change: Project Green. "Send It On" is meant to unite the kiddies in green living and protecting planet Earth.

We think that's why they ditch the big stage and energy-sucking bright lights for the great outdoors. We were too distracted by the oh-so-convenient intimate pairing of Miley and Nick Jonas in the beginning. And then we were bugged by Joe Jonas wearing yet another pink shirt and impressed with Selena out-adorabling the lot of them. But we guess there was some sort of charitable point.

Somehow, though, the whole thing seems far less poignant than Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and tons of other major stars teaming up for humanitarian aid in Africa. Maybe that's because it had nothing to do with powerful mice.

All these guys won Teen Choice Awards. Did you see them?

The universe will not allow the whole Cyrus family to be happy. Gotta keep things in balance, that's The Secret or whatever.

Take Ms. Miley Cyrus. She declared herself :) to be single: "I am lovinggg being single :) life is so carefree!!! Spending the day enjoying Sonic, Music, @mommytish, and the beautiful sun in Savannah." 

Could that mean she and Nick Jonas aren't really back together? Did all that jet skiing mean nothing? And how can she be so happy about it ending so soon if that's what really happened?

Oh, turns out Miley isn't so :) about her singledom, just a few hours later she came down with a mean case of the sads. A sampling:

M*A*S*H's Maj. Charles Winchester has stepped out of the tent.

Actor David Ogden Stiers tells Gossip-Boy.com, "I am [gay]. Very proud to be so."

The 66-year-old actor, who played Cogsworth in Disney's Beauty and the Beast (and its subsequent straight-to-video releases), claims his success doing voice work made him nervous to reveal his true identity.

"What they might allow in a more known actor, they prefer not having to deal with in minor players," said Stiers, whose 'toon credits include Lilo & Stich: The Series and Justice League.

"I should say in regards to this that many of my fears were in modern times self-invented. I’ve been working internally on whether they were the problem or if I just continued using them as an excuse long after the call for conservative private lives passed."

Later in the interview, he added, "I wish to spend my life's twilight being just who I am."

It's a Jonas world and we're all just living in it!

The Jonas Brothers are venturing into television territory tonight with the premiere of their new Disney semi-docu-comedy JONAS and—we can't believe we're actually saying this—it's pretty fun.

Obviously created for those who love guys of the Kevin, Joe and Nick variety, the boys take time to tease about the personas the media has given them over the past few years. In fact, the premiere centers on Nick as a lovelorn Romeo, the littlest bro who falls in love too often (cue Miley Cyrus-Selena Gomez feud talk--again.)

There are cutesy musical numbers and some cheesy dialogue, but those JoBros can do no wrong. Most of the jokes are tongue-in-cheek, showing that these boys can roll with the punches and laugh at themselves.

In fact at one point, Joe tells Nick, "You're not dumb, you're just really intense, which is sad for you but lucky for us because we get great songs out of it." Well said, Joe. Well said.

The Cannes Film Festival may bring a bunch of hot ladies to its topless beaches, but this year, it's starting off with a little less sex appeal.

Disney/Pixar is headed to the south of France to premiere its animated feature, Up, which has been tapped for the opening ceremony at the 62nd Festival de Cannes on May 13. This marks the first time an animated film has kicked off the tres chic cinema celebrations.

The colorful, digital 3-D movie, directed by Pete Docter of Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo screenwriter Bob Peterson., follows a 74-year-old man (voiced by Ed Asner) who ties thousands of helium balloons to his house so he can fly south and be alone. Unfortunately for him, a 9-year-old "Wilderness Explorer" (think Boy Scout) winds up going along for the ride. The film launches into U.S. theaters on May 29.

Last year's festival opener, Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo's Blindness, was considerably more bleak. This year's beachside events last through May 24 with Isabelle Huppert heading up the jury.

Miley Cyrus may be tasty, but you don't want to eat her. Or, at least, don't eat her Hannah Montana lunchbag-ready snacks.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency, along with the Peanut Corporation of America, has issued a safety recall of Disney Hannah Montana Peanut Chocolate Granola Bars due to possible Salmonella contamination. These nut products are among those a part of a wider peanut recall earlier this year.

The granola bars are just the tip of the branding iceberg for the corporation-sized starlet, so the treats being pulled off shelves shouldn't hurt too badly. With books, movies, clothing, school supplies and food, who knows what could be next for the Cyrus brand?

And, if you still crave a star-studded treat, perhaps try giving Kim Kardashian a lick.

Worry not Wildcats! Disney has announced a fourth installment of the wildly popular High School Musical movie franchise.

This go-round may not have Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and the rest of the gang of song-and-dancers, but it will have kids from East High singing and, well, dancing by 2010. Production is set to begin later this year.

HSM4 will return to the cable channel where HSM and HSM 2 kicked off the global phenomenon. The premise is described in a Disney statement as, "East meets West in a classic love triangle set against the cross-town school rivalry between the East High Wildcats and West High Knights."

Given that most of the main characters graduated and headed to college at the end of the franchise's $250 million box office hit HSM3: Senior Year, it's probably safe to say that they won't be "all in this together." However, the conclusion of the film also featured a passing of the torch of sorts as it introduced several new, younger characters, including those played by Jemma McKenzie-Brown, Matt Prokop and Justin Martin. The Mouse network has yet to confirm their reprisal.

No word on if director Kenny Ortega—who's currently busy remaking Footloose with Zefron himself—will be returning to his alma mater, but screenwriter Peter Barsocchini and executive producers Bill Borden and Barry Rosenbush definitely will be returning to their red-and-white uniforms.

•  Selena Gomez is cute. The Wizards of Waverly Place starlet is rooting for Revolutionary Road to sweep the Oscars (despite only having three nominations) and already hatching plans to separate herself from Disneyland. Good luck with that.

•  Miley Cyrus' driving instructor says the teen queen is very focused. Sounds like Miley Cyrus' driving instructor is very focused on getting her name in a magazine.

•  Oh Goop! Gwyneth Paltrow is penning a cookbook.

•  What is up with Dustin Hoffman's Speidi moment?

•  Eric Balfour may be the butt of jokes about TV shows getting cancelled, but, well, here's his butt (hee hee)!

Disney starlet Brenda Song has reached a tentative settlement in her libel suit against a company who allegedly used her image in a newspaper ad for an escort service without her permission.

Needless to say, the Mouser never would have agreed to have her photo appear alongside the slogan, "Hawaiin [sic] beauty. Come get lei'd." Yet, the ads for Cityvibe.com appeared in several April 2008 editions of the L.A. Weekly.

The 20-year-old The Suite Life of Zack & Cody actress filed her complaint against Vibe Media Inc. and its owner, Ali Askari, in Los Angeles Superior Court on April 25, 2008, seeking more than $100,000 in damages for libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress and commercial misappropriation of her photo and likeness. The suit was amended a month later, naming Vanessa Sena of San Bernardino County as the defendant accused of taking the photo of Song from the internet and using it in the ad.

According to Song's attorney, Laurence B. Steinberg, terms of the settlement agreement are still being finalized. He would not discuss the case outside the courtroom to maintain confidentiality.

A hearing is set for Feb. 25.

No doubt Sasha and Malia Obama had a ball of their own last night…especially since the Jonas Brothers were involved!

At ages 7 and 10, respectively, the new first daughters were a little too young to appreciate the 10 formal inaugural balls, so White House staffers treated the new girls and some of their new school friends to a double-feature of new Disney flicks, Bolt and High School Musical 3, according to ABC News.

Afterwards, they were taken on a late-night scavenger hunt around their new digs, much like Chelsea Clinton did at the dawn of her dad's administration. Upon completion, the biggest surprise of the night waited behind closed doors.

The tweens had a dream-come-true moment when they opened them and found pop stars Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas waiting for them.

The JoBros and Obama girls first met the night before at the Kids Inaugural concert.

Rank really does have its privileges!
