Celebrities in DVD TV Shows

No doubt about it, Miley Cyrus is one of the hottest young celebrities of today's generation. She catapulted to stardom via the hit Disney Channel tv series Hannah Montana, in which she plays a regular teenage girl with a secret life of a pop star.

Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Miley is the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. Her early career was marked by minor roles, the first of which was playing a girl named Kylie on her father's tv show Doc. At the age of 12, she auditioned for the role of "best friend" in a Disney Channel series about a "secret pop star", entitled Hannah Montana. Disney Channel executives at first judged her to be too young, but her persistence resulted in her being called back for further auditions and she eventually won the lead role.

Hannah Montana was a hit among children and teenagers, leading Miley to a successful career in music and film. In 2008, she was listed in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World. Forbes magazine ranked her #35 on the "Celebrity 100" list for earning $25 million in 2008 and in 2009, her rank improved to #29. She was also ranked number four on Billboard's list of the Top Female Artists of 2009, above artists such as Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson.

This hot young actress is best known for her portrayal of Alex Russo on the Emmy Award winning Disney Channel Original Series, Wizards of Waverly Place. She also starred in the made-for-television Disney Channel movies, Princess Protection Program and Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie.

Born in Grand Prairie, Texas, Selena began her acting career at age seven, playing Gianna on Barney and Friends. She was discovered in 2004 by Disney Channel during a nationwide scouting and she first appeared as a guest star on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. She also had another guest appearance, that later turned into a recurring role, on Hannah Montana from season's two to three. In early 2007, she was cast in the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place as one of the three main characters.

Wizards of Waverly Place was a hit and it made Selena one of the hottest young celebrities today. Not only that, the 17-year-old star also branched out into the music scene. Her band, Selena Gomez and the Scene, released their debut studio album in September 2009 and it was certified Gold by RIAA in March 2010.

Beverly Hills, 90210 is an American drama series created by Darren Star and produced by Paul Robinson. The show lasted for 10 seasons and was aired from 1990 to 2000 on Fox in the United States, and subsequently on various networks around the world. It followed the lives of a group of teenagers living in the upscale, star-studded community of Beverly Hills, California.

The original premise of the show was based on the adjustment and culture shock that twins Brandon (Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh (Shannen Doherty) experienced when their family moved from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Beverly Hills. They began attending West Beverly Hills High School, where they were eventually introduced to several friends who composed the remainder of the cast: Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth), Steve Sanders (Ian Ziering), Andrea Zuckerman (Gabrielle Carteris), Dylan McKay (Luke Perry), David Silver (Brian Austin Green), and Donna Martin (Tori Spelling).

The series gained popularity, becoming one of Fox's top shows. Viewership increased dramatically and the cast members became teen sensations. In addition to chronicling the friendships and romantic relationships of a group of close-knit teenagers, the show also addressed numerous topical issues including date rape, alcoholism, domestic violence, gay rights, gay parenting, drug abuse, teenage suicide, AIDS, teenage pregnancy, bulimia, and abortion.
