Demi Lovato will officially appear in the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie Camp Rock 3. The singer is reprising her role as Mitchie Torres from the first two films, 2008’s Camp Rock and 2010’s Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, which spawned Lovato’s popular collaborations with the Jonas Brothers, “This Is Me” and “Wouldn’t Change a Thing.”

Camp Rock 3 finds the Jonas Brothers returning as fictional band Connect 3, who are looking for a new opening act. That search brings them back to Camp Rock, where a fresh set of campers are ready to show their stuff.

Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas, and Kevin Jonas were previously confirmed to be returning when the film was announced last year. At the time, Lovato was only mentioned as an executive producer. Ahead of the premiere, Lovato shared a photo of herself in the film and wrote, “Y’all miss me? xoxo, Mitchie.”

“We wanted to find the right balance of how much she should be in the film and what Mitchie’s involvement looked like,” director Veronica Rodriguez told The Hollywood Reporter. “Her character literally says in the movie, to her mom, ‘This isn’t about me, it’s about them. It’s their time to shine. This is the new generation of campers.’ With Mitchie and Connect 3, we wanted them to be ingrained and necessary for the story but also leave enough room and space for the world to fall in love with the new generation of campers.”

Camp Rock 3 premieres on Disney Channel on Aug. 13 and will be available to stream the next day on Disney+. The new cast members include Liamani Segura, Malachi Barton, Lumi Pollack, Sherry Cola, Hudson Stone, Casey Trotter, Brooklynn Pitts, and Ava Jean. Maria Canals-Barrera reprises her role as Connie, Mitchie’s mom.

The soundtrack to Camp Rock 3, out Aug. 13, includes a new song from the Jonas Brothers called “Come On Over.”

Maren Morris Hits Back at Shane Gillis’ ‘SNL’ Joke About Women Being ‘Whores’ at the Gym

Maren Morris responded to Shane Gillis‘ controversial Saturday Night Live monologue by giving the comedian the middle finger.

Gillis hosted the late-night sketch show on Saturday night and spent his monologue commenting on how women dress at the gym. “I haven’t been to the gym in so long I didn’t know women just dress like whores now?” Gillis said. “Look, I’m sorry, there’s no other way to describe it. Have you seen it? I’ve seen it. You’ve seen the shorts? They’re those neon, like, artificial bait-colored. And the wrinkles go around the cheeks and all combine at the butthole. And don’t look! You’re not allowed to look. For real, don’t look, because they are filming.”

‘The Social Reckoning’ Wants to Be ‘All the Zuckerberg’s Men’

Social media is bad. The addictive nature of being on those apps falls somewhere between cigarettes and crack cocaine. The billionaires that run the companies behind these platforms do not have the public’s best interests at heart. 21st-century corporate culture is a combination of a cult and a crime syndicate. Profit trumps civic responsibility. The bottom line is more important than the truth, regardless of whether you can handle the truth or not.

Maybe you’ve heard all of these things before. It’s good to have occasional reminders, however, which is where Aaron Sorkin comes in. The screenwriter/director/showrunner has been here before, having crafted stories involving the failings of institutions, optimists tilting at windmills out of necessity, and Facebook in particular. The Social Network (2010) remains a stone-cold masterpiece, an origin story about how an idea born from an Ivy League misfit turned into a gamechanger. It was a David vs. Goliath story, with the main character — real-life nerd-king Mark Zuckerberg — playing both parts. David Fincher’s rigorous direction and Jesse Eisenberg’s performance deserved their flowers. Sorkin’s script deserved its Oscar.
