...video, directed by Dave Meyers, features “Ching-A-Ling” and “Shake Your Pom Pom” off the “Step Up 2 The Streets” soundtrack. To make the video, Elliott and Meyers teamed up with Walt Disney Studios, the same people behind the 3-D work in Hannah Montana’s Best of Both Worlds Tour. Now that’s gangsta. Regardless of the eye-popping action, the video does uphold certain tropes of Elliott’s videography, such as song-to-video literalism...
...negotiators are expected to bring the union's board of directors a rough contract on Monday, the result of recent bargaining sessions attended by News Corp chairman Peter Chernin, Walt Disney chief executive Robert Iger and WGA negotiators David Young, John F.

Yorick from the hit comic book Y: The Last Man (which publishes its 60th and last issue at the end of this month), who survives a plague that kills only men?the women are fine. Even Disney is doing it: Wall*E, a Pixar film that opens in June, is about the last robot on an empty, trash-strewn future earth.
