Lady A Share Details of New Album

Lady Antebellum

Multi-PLATINUM country music group Lady Antebellum is sharing new details today on their forthcoming third Capitol Nashville studio album OWN THE NIGHT, in stores Sept. 13.

After sweeping the 2011 GRAMMY Awards earlier this year, the singer/songwriters returned to Nashville to focus on writing and recording the follow up to their top selling NEED YOU NOW. The trio penned 10 of the new disc’s 12 tracks, including their fastest rising and current Top 10 single “Just A Kiss.” Collaborating again with veteran producer Paul Worley, Lady Antebellum’s Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott also return as co-producers.

"We're definitely more in tune with each other musically and personally than ever," said Haywood. "It's an exciting place to be. This album was created from the ground up—we are writing these songs, playing these instruments and creating these arrangements. With OWN THE NIGHT, more than ever before, I think we share a real feeling of accomplishment both as a band and as friends.”

"Our only hope and expectation for this record is that it will build on the first two," adds Charles Kelley. "At the end of the day, we just want our fans to be able to say that we continue to give them solid albums with solid songs they can enjoy from start to finish."

"Glee's" Kevin McHale Helps The Trevor Project with "Talk to Me" Campaign for Suicide Prevention Week

The Trevor Project, an organization that helps teens and young adults with LGBTQ issues has teamed up with "Glee" actor Kevin McHale (Artie) to launch the "TALK TO ME" campaign in recognition of suicide prevention week. This week and continuing on through September, The Trevor Project will have ongoing activities on their newly created TREVORTalktome.org site to call attention to the alarming amount of young people who have taken their own lives because they felt there was no one who understood what they were going through.

The Trevor Project has launched several campaigns to help prevent these unnecessary but very real issues teens face when coming out, or choosing not to, including "It Gets Better."

If you or someone you know is dealing with an issue or to be a volunteer for the organization, visit TREVORTalktome.org and thetrevorproject.org

Jason EarlesJason Earles Shares His Knowledge With “A Class Act” Acting Studio in New York!

Actor Jason Earles who spent four years on your television as “Hannah Montana’s” brother, “Jackson Stewart” and can now be seen on Disney XD’s “Kickin’ It” stopped by “A Class Act” to conduct a very special workshop. Participants were treated to an introduction to Jason and then it was time to get down to business.

The friendly actor brought along old “Hannah Montana” scripts and watched intently as the young students acted out scenes from the show. Jason and the teachers from the studio made suggestions and then gave students the opportunity to try the scene again.

After a few hours of discussing acting techniques and going over scenes, Jason opened the floor for questions. Students learned several facts about the actor like how he misses “Lost,” loves “Modern Family” and wouldn’t mind being typecast because you would still be working. He believes that even playing the same type of character gives you the opportunity to get in front of people and show them what you are capable of achieving.

He encouraged the eager young students to stay grounded and not get “big headed.” He wasn’t concerned about Hollywood changing him because of the solid foundation he was given by being raised in a good family. After answering any question thrown at him with honesty and sincerity, Jason then met with each person to sign autographs and pose for pictures.

Later that evening, another Q and A session was conducted for people who were not able to attend the sold-out workshop. Jason stayed long enough to sign autographs and pose with pictures for those people as well. It was a very fun and educational day that the acting students won’t soon forget! They learned valuable tips from a professional and got to hang out with a nice guy that they have watched on the big and small screen!

Prom DVD CoverDisney Invites You to PROM!

It’s the social event of your High School experience so of course, planning for the big night is not going to be easy. In Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment’s new release, “PROM,” a group of likable high school students prepare for the main event in extremely different ways.

Featuring a cast of talented up and comers like Aimee Teegarden, Thomas McDonell, Yin Chang and DeVaughn Nixon, the film follows the ups and downs of this rite of passage and the pressure it brings to make the night “perfect.” Some couples will have the time of their lives. Others might not get everything they hoped for. Nobody gets quite what they expected. When all is said and done… the only thing the students have in common is that their night was… memorable. Spend a couple of hours hanging out with fresh faces who will have you rooting for a happy ending when they take you to their Prom!

Cast members Janelle Ortiz, Nicholas Braun and Joe Adler introduce a clip just for EnterTeenmentNews.com visitors below:

Fringe Season 3 DVDFringe: The Complete Third Season
Available Now on Blu-ray & DVD from Warner Home Video

Immersive. Compelling. Hypnotic. Brilliantly imaginative. Endlessly thrilling. Pick your term. The Fringe team escapes from the parallel universe – except for Olivia, trapped in the other world and replaced in ours by her double, who turns Peter and Olivia’s tentative relationship into a love affair. Then Olivia returns, bonds of trust fray, ever more bizarre and terrifying phenomena occur, and secrets that stretch back to 1985 threaten to destroy our universe. Or theirs.

Olivia is trapped in two worlds, Peter is about to find out his true destiny, Walternate is more evil than anyone even imagined. Those are just the highlights, if you can call them such, in this exciting season of Fringe. Not knowing if they would be picked up for a fourth season, the writers and producers put the actors through a series serious emotional roller coaster rides to ensure the fans, and network, were pushed to the brink. It worked, and the show was picked up for the new season. Can they survive more of this turmoil? We're not sure, but check out this DVD set to see what we mean.

Bonus Features:

Duality of Worlds: Four featurettes exploring The Other You, Visualizing an Alternate World, A Machine of Destiny and The Psychology of Duality
