Celebrities in DVD TV Shows

You adore Lilly Truscott as the fun and loving bestfriend of teen popstar, Hannah Montana/Miley Stewart. And her character is played by non-other than the cute Emily Osment. And yes, she is the younger sister of Academy Award-nominated actor Haley Joel Osment of the blockbuster hit film, The Sixth Sense. She first started appearing in commercials in 1998 and made her acting debut in the 1999 film The Secret Life of Girls.

In 2002, Emily appeared in Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams in which she portrayed the character of Gerti Giggles. In 2003, she reprised her role in the third and final part of the trilogy, Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. The films were successful and led to her winning the "Young Artist Award" for Best performance in a feature film.

The young star's biggest television break came when she landed the role of Lilly in in the Disney Channel tv series, Hannah Montana. The show, which debuted on March 24, 2006, scored record ratings for Disney Channel with a viewership of 5.4 million viewers, a response beyond their wildest expectations. This has established Emily as one of the hottest young actresses of today's generation. She also recorded a song entitled "I Don't Think About It" which got to #1 on the Radio Disney Top 30 of the Week.

Popular was a teenage comedy-drama on The WB Television Network in the United States, created by Ryan Murphy and Gina Matthews. It starred Leslie Bibb and Carly Pope as two teenage girls that reside on polar opposite sides of the popularity spectrum at their high school, but are forced to co-exist when their single parents randomly meet on a cruise ship and get married. The tv show, which was a hit with The WB's teenage audience, ran for two seasons from 1999 to 2001. It even won at the Teen's Choice Award for Choice Breakout Show for television (2000).

The tv series revolves around Sam McPherson (Pope) and Brooke McQueen (Bibb), students at Jacqueline Kennedy High School. Brooke is a popular cheerleader, and Sam is an unpopular journalist. Their respective groups are forced to socialize when Brooke's father and Sam's mother get engaged, and the two girls reluctantly begin sharing a house.

Despite fitting into a rather common category, as a teen-centered mix of drama and comedy, Popular differentiated itself from its peers in its quirky, non sequitur humor and overall satirical approach to characters and story lines, a feature that would grow as the series progressed.
