ABC will be airing Disney favorites this summer every Saturday evening. John Goodman, the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, and Jamie Lee Curtis are just a few of the special guest hosts who will be hosting these "movie nights."
From the looks of the schedule, ABC is showing mostly newer Disney films. While I love films like
Monsters Inc., I wish ABC would pay tribute to the older Disney movies like
Robin Hood,
The Sword in the Stone, and
Cinderella.
I have the full schedule after the jump. The Disney extravaganza starts this coming Saturday, June 14th.

Now that we know that
Ugly Betty is coming back next season (it was never in doubt) and that the
Ugly Betty production is moving to New York, executive producer
Silvio Horta has shared a few more bits of news and tidbits about Betty and company.
For starters, the producers are determined to streamline the show, taking advantage of being in NYC and sharpening the focus of the show. Horta said the goal for the
Ugly Betty writing team for season three is "to make the show more about Betty's journey and to weave the characters into more unified, emotionally grounded plots."

I'm not a regular
Oprah watcher, but on Monday I happened to see actress
Jamie Lee Curtis' appearance. I've been really curious about Jamie lately, especially since seeing her on those Activia yogurt commercials. Damn, she's just two years younger than I am and she looks great! What is in that yogurt anyway?
But Jamie Lee was on
Oprah to vent. Turns out that the cover shot she did for
AARP magazine, which the editors chose to proclaim as a nude shot, was a sham. The picture was not a naked photo shoot. She was wearing a strapless top and was photographed in a swimming pool. The illusion of nudity was created by the way they cropped the picture. Jamie Lee said she was shocked. She held up a copy of the magazine and said to Oprah and the world, "Isn't it fascinating that this constitutes being naked. What the f*ck are we talking about? In my world, this is called strapless. I didn't go around saying I was topless."
