It was just announced that Hannah Montana star Mitchel Musso will star in a new comedy on Disney XD called Pair of Kings. The show also stars Doc Shaw (House of Payne) as 16-year-old fraternal twins -- one white and one black -- living in Chicago with their aunt and uncle. The pair find out that they're heirs to the throne of the island of Kinkou and they move there to become kings!
The boys will start taping the show in March and it's expected to premiere this fall on Disney XD.
But here's the thing: it has not been confirmed officially that Hannah Montana is over. A fourth season of Hannah has been ordered, but there have been tons of rumors floating around that the fourth season will be its last.
Do you think Mitchel's new TV show is a sign that Hannah Montana is over?

It's safe to say that every heart in the J-14 office melted a little bit when sweet Southern Jimmy Robbins stopped by to play us his hit single "Turn it Up" and give girls a new reason to swoon with his album See Through Secrets (available now on iTunes). Find out what Jimmy thought about touring with Mitchel Musso, who people mistake him for, and more!
J-14: Let's go way back -- how did you become a musician?
Jimmy Robbins: When I was six or seven I found a guitar at my grandma's house and convinced my dad to let me take it home. For a few years I just kind of fiddled with it. My mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when I was seven, and she had been getting progressively sick. I didn't choose writing songs -- I just had stuff going on that I didn't talk about, so I started writing. It got to a point where I was like, wow, I can never not do this again!
J-14: Do you remember the first song you ever wrote?
Jimmy: I do! The first song I ever wrote was a love song for a girl. She never heard it, but I'm pretty sure it was terrible.
J-14: You grew up in North Carolina. When you're traveling, do you miss anything about the South?
Jimmy: The one thing that I do miss about the South is that I was raised to always hold the door open for people and just be really nice to people. Out here, I talk to cashiers and stuff everywhere I go and they seem really surprised -- and sometimes not excited. That's different!
J-14: So you're an old school Southern gentleman?
Jimmy: For my Dad's sake, I hope so. He would be upset if I wasn't. I'm still the guy that walks around and open's a girl's car door. And I guess that's not all that often that people do that, people are weirded out by that!
J14: What is it like touring with Mitchel Musso?
Jimmy: It's been great -- he has the coolest fans. They're all really nice and very excitable which is awesome. That's the best feeling when people are excited about what you're doing. Backstage gets pretty crazy because he has the acting as well, so there's a lot going on. Mitchel and I just hang out a lot -- it's been cool.
J14: What has been your weirdest fan experience since touring?
Jimmy: I think it's just weird that people care who I am. Sometimes people think I'm someone that I'm not in Los Angeles. Last week I got asked if I was Zac Efron three times. It's just like, "No, I'm not... I can pretend to be if you want a picture or something."
Watch Jimmy sing "Turn it Up" -- just for J-14!

Hey J-14ers!
Can you believe it? The holidays are right around the corner and just in time: A Very Special Christmas: Volume 7 -- featuring all my favorite artists is coming out November 23! Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens, Mitchel Musso, Ashley Tisdale, Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, Sean Kingston, Kristina DeBarge, Colbie Caillat, Leighton Meester, Gloriana, and more make the all-star line up for this compilation of holiday songs. And they don't disappoint!
These definitely aren't your typical Christmas carols, but they'll still totally get you into the holiday spirit and have you singing along! I was excited to hear some of my absolute favorite artists on there like Leighton Meester, Kellie Pickler, and Carrie Underwood! One of the highlights is Colbie Caillat's "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas." Colbie's unique vocals give the song a much needed face-lift, but still hold onto the tune's charm. Miley sings one of my favorite Christmas songs, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," with a full blast of energy. I would expect no less from her! Sean Kingston's version of "The Little Drummer Boy" mixes up the classic with fun beats and reggae fusion. I also am lovin' Leighton Meester's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)!" The Gossip girl is my pick for new artist to keep an eye on in the new year. And last but not least, Ashley Tisdale's vocals are perfect for the fun holiday song "Last Christmas!"
You know how giving is better than receiving this time of year? Bonus: proceeds from the album benefit The Special Olympics! Since the first Very Special Christmas compilation back in 1987, these Xmas albums have raised more than $100 million for the organization. Talk about Christmas cheer! If you're feeling especially generous this season, this CD is a perfect treat for a friend and yourself ;)! Check out www.veryspecialchristmas.com, help this great cause, and I'll see you rockin' around the Christmas tree this year!
Your J-14 intern,

Mitchel Musso visited the J-14 offices today and played guest editor for J14.com! While chatting about the hottest news, naturally the news of his good friend Miley reuniting with Nick came up. "I talk to Miley everyday," he told J-14 exclusively. "And all this stuff that's about Nick and her -- I have no idea what that is. She literally hasn't told me anything! As far as I know at my show (on June 5), we were still talking about Justin, so I don't know. Girls flip-flop!"
We kept the chatfest going and let him pick out pictures of him and his friends (and girlfriend!) to put on J14.com. Click here to see what he has to say about his famous buds.
Remember, Mitchel's new CD is out now and he'll be touring with Metro Station this summer!
