Under The Sea

A Pebble In The Water

The Camp Rock co-stars Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas have joined together once again to support a great cause. Their mission: To make a wave.

The latest project of Friends For Change pays tribute to the bodies of water that surround us. By standing up for the creatures who call these waters their home, we too can make a wave, a change. Help support this cause by keeping plastic bags and other harmful items away from the shores and by urging your friends to do the same. With all of us working together we can bring about the health and security of our aquatic creatures.

Demi and Joe's new song "Make A Wave" is now available for purchase on iTunes . All proceeds will go to various charities supported by the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, which opens up another great way for you to make a difference.

From East High to The Heights

Atencion! The rising star and alumni from the award-winning movie High School Musical, Corbin Bleu is leaving the silver screen behind, if only for a brief moment, to take on Broadway. The actor/artist has scored the lead role of Usnavi from the Tony Award winning musical In The Heights. Four time award winning musical to be exact.

Though this role is very diverse from anything Bleu has done previously, you can expect to witness nothing less than greatness. According to Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator and original Usnavi of Heights, Corbin "SMASHED his audition." I for one am excited to see his growth as an actor and artist and believe that he is more than capable to perform this role exceptionally well.

In The Heights, is an outstanding story of the faith, family, friends and home of the inhabitants of Washington Heights, a Dominican-American neighborhood in New York City. Though the characters and musical scores (mixtures of hip hop and salsa) are very urban and ethnic, the issues discussed are those we can all relate to as human beings. There's love, hate, loss, gain and other problems that are relevant to this day and age, which could be one of the main reasons it has been so well received. It's message is directed towards everyone. Though I'm pretty sure the bouncing beats, lyrical brilliance, and cool dance moves had a lot to do with it as well.

So get ready to jump out of your seats, and move your feet to the bass as you learn how to survive on Paciencia y Fe! (Patience and Faith)


I couldn't resists:) Yours Truly

In The Spotlight: Nick and the Administration

Who is Nick Jonas? I think we're about to find out. During the Grammy nomination concert December 2, Nick Jonas (or should I say Kevin and Joe) introduced us to his new band, The Administration. They performed their new single "Who I Am" which gained a standing ovation. Maybe this is some sort of sign. They performed at the Grammy nomination's this year. Next year could they possibly win one? Only time will tell.

But what I can tell is that Nick and his band's new album "Who I Am" will hit stores February 2, 2010. To promote this new album, Nick and the Administration has already been touring. Good news for Delaware. You could be attending one of those dates.

WSTW is holding a new contest for the residents of Delaware (or the tri-state area if you're that dedicated). The winner will win tickets to Nick's show at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia scheduled for January 9th. For more information on how you can see Nick and the Administration live go to: http://www.wstw.com/contest.php. God Bless!

ps. This is only a side project! Nick Jonas is not leaving the Jonas Brothers. Not like he could anyway. They're brothers. So everyone can relax and enjoy the ride. You can bet it's gonna be amazing!
