Disney Channel To Air Nick Jonas announcement in Hannah Montana Diabetes Episode


Disney Channel Hannah Montana Cast



Disney Channel will air a diabetes related episode in late September after reviewing the content with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Hannah Montana episode on diabetes will air on Disney Channel on September 20th.

According to NY Daily News "The episode revolves around Miley (Miley Cyrus) and Lilly (Emily Osment) reacting to the knowledge that Oliver (Mitchel Musso) has been diagnosed with Type I diabetes. The pair then turn into food police at a sweet 16 party, to keep Oliver away from certain foods. Eventually, Oliver puts them at ease: together they - and he - can work through the challenge of diabetes. The segment ends with a feel-good message."

Disney channel tried very hard in its attempt of promoting the show. Perhaps they wanted to make it either more interesting or simply raising awareness about Juvenile Diabetes. Channel officials had even enlisted Nick Jonas, who also has diabetes, to star in a public services announcement to air with the show.

Hanna Montana diabetes episode was schedules to appear last year in November on Disney Channel. Officials had said that the content was reviewed during the scriptwriting process and approved for accuracy.

Later, Disney officials found some issues with the content. That episode was pulled out without notice despite being available in early versions through video on demand.

Now Disney Channel says it has reviewed it with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and will air it on September 20th at 7:30 PM.

Cyrus' brother slams 'fake' Jonas Brothers


Miley Cyrus' half-brother Trace has launched a stinging attack on his younger sister's pals the Jonas Brothers, calling the trio "totally fake."

Trace Cyrus, who fronts his own band Metro Station, has defended his image as a grungy, tattooed rocker, insisting he is much happier than his pop peers.

And even though his 16-year-old sibling once dated Nick Jonas and remains close friends with the bandmembers, Cyrus has slammed the Disney stars for their clean-cut personas.

He tells Details magazine, "I'm not trying to clean my image to make anyone happy. I could have gone the route of the Jonas Brothers. Those guys can't live their lives freely. They have to put out this image that's totally fake."
