Hey TWIST girls!

It's finally here!! Are you totally stoked for Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie? Don't miss it tonight at 8 p.m. on Disney Channel!

TWIST has been counting down the premiere of this movie since we were on set WAY back in March!

In the flick, the whole Russo clan is enjoying a Caribbean vacation when Alex (Selena Gomez) accidentally uses a spell that causes her parents to forget they ever met! With the help of big brother Justin (David Henrie), Alex must find the Stone of Dreams to reverse the spell while younger sib Max (Jake T. Austin) tries to make their parents fall in love again!

When TWIST sat down with the stars of the flick, we had tons of Q's for 'em! Sel dished about a new side in Alex you'll see. "There's a lot of tension between my mother and me," Sel spills only to TWIST. "And in the movie, you see how much she really does need her mother and her family in general."

Viewers can expect lots of laughs and awesome special effects. "There's a cool little twist at the end. It's an adventure!" David dished to TWIST. "We're doing lots of cool stunts!" We can't wait!

Plus, the cast had a blast filming on location in Puerto Rico! "It's been a blast," Jake tells TWIST exclusively. "We're having a great time. I learned how to windsurf, which is a great experience! The wind here, surprisingly, is so strong -- it seriously throws me like five feet!"

TWIST wants to know: Do you think Wizards: The Movie will be a hit or a miss? Leave your vote in the comments!

Hey TWIST gal!

With the Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie premiere just more than three weeks away (it airs August 28th on Disney!), the cast has started to predict what might be in store for the Russo family. As viewers know, the three Russo kids will eventually have to compete in a magical competition, and only the winner will be able to keep wizard powers. David Henrie, Jennifer Stone and Selena Gomez all think that big brother Justin def deserves the title.

"He's the most responsible," David dishes. "He takes his studying seriously and he'll make the right decision at an important time."

Jen totally agrees. She spills, "I really like someone who works hard and is really disciplined, so I think Justin should win. It'd be hilarious if Max ended up with the powers because he's the one that everybody least expects." That would be pretty funny!

Sel also thinks Justin should become an adult wizard, but shares, "It would be interesting to see Max win because there's something hidden in him underneath. He's really paying attention." You might think that Sel would want her character to win, but she thinks Alex has other plans. "She is so independent. She loves magic, but it's not her number one priority, whereas Justin lives and breathes it, and Max is there and does the work. Alex can find other things to do with her life and her friends and family."

And how does little bro Max aka Jake T. Austin feel about all of this? "I would love it if, in the last episode, our long lost brother or sister that we never knew about came in and won the power... and then did a spin-off," Jake said. Hmm, if that means more Wizards, then we think it's a great idea!

Jake did say that there'll be a "mini wizards competition" in Wizards: The Movie, but "it's not the final one and it's just a temporary result."

Tell TWIST: Which Russo should win the magical competition and stay a wizard for life? Justin, Alex or Max? Comment now!

What's up, TWIST girls?

We're super excited for the release of New Moon in November, but still seriously itching for some vampire drama in our lives. Luckily, we don't have to wait much longer, because Disney's premiering a four-part Wizards of Waverly Place special called "Wizards vs. Vampires!"

The first episode, airing July 24 at 8 pm, brings a new vampire-owned sandwich shop to Waverly Place called "The Late Night Bite." When the restaurant starts taking business away from the Waverly Sub Station, Justin goes to spy on the vampires and ends up falling for the shop owner's daughter Juliet! Yikes!

After that, stay tuned for three more weeks as the "Wizards vs. Vampires" excitement continues! Juliet convinces the Russos to eat healthier and work out, but Alex suspects that Juliet really just wants to taste Justin's blood! In the following episode, Alex uses magic to keep up her relationship with Dean, but as usual, things don't exactly turn out as she planned. During the finale, Justin takes Juliet to prom, and Alex has a dance-off with zombies. We can't WAIT to see how that turns out!

Tell TWIST - Would you rather be a wizard or a vampire? Why? Comment now!

This just in, TWIST girls! We've all been waiting months to finally see the crossover special for Wizards of Waverly Place, Suite Life on Deck and Hannah Montana! You can catch the 90 minute special Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana at 8 p.m. on July 17!

So, how will all these characters meet up? TWIST has the story! Justin (David Henrie) enters an essay writing contest to win a chance to board to the SS Tipton cruise ship -- he wins and he can't wait to meet London (Brenda Song)! Plus, his sibs (Selena and Jake T. Austin) get to join him on deck! Then, Hannah (Miley) comes aboard while on her way to perform in Honolulu. Meanwhile, to get closer to his crush, Cody (Cole Sprouse) wants to take Bailey (Debby Ryan) to the Hannah concert (and he may even lie to impress her!).

Wowza, so much to see! We can't wait! A week before the episode airs, DisneyChannel.com will feature a "Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana Scavenger Hunt Sweepstakes," with prizes including props from the episode -- too cool!

Hey TWIST girls,
I can't wait to fill you in on my super-exciting trip to Puerto Rico -- I visited the set of the upcoming Wizards of Waverly Place DCOM! I got to hang with Selena, David and Jake and they were all super-friendly and hilarious! I don't want to give too much away (you'll have to check out upcoming issues of TWIST for my full report!), but here are a few juicy highlights from my day with the Wizards!

-- The entire cast is obsessed with Twitter -- Selena even asked David to borrow his phone so that she could update her page between scenes!
-- Sel dished to me that she's totally into hats right now. She was wearing the cutest straw fedora during our interview on set.
-- Jake and David have their pranking feud on hold for awhile...they're both waiting for the perfect time to strike again!
-- I stayed at the same hotel as the cast, and there's a sweet ice cream shop on the main floor!
-- Selena dished that she's been shopping like crazy in PR! She even bought a bracelet for her bud Jonathan!
-- David had a super-early call time when I was on set -- he had to be there by 5:30 a.m.! I got to ride with him back to the hotel at the end of the day, and I told him he was a champ for waking up that early!

Keep checking back all week for more exclusive vids and scoop from my visit!

Let's chat -- are you pumped for the Wizards DCOM? Comment now to dish!

TWIST hung with the entire cast of Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place at the Disney Store in NYC on Saturday!
