The Disney Channel confirmed to E! News that the network scrapped the episode it had intended to open the hit series' third season—an episode titled "No Sugar, Sugar" that features a character (Hannah's pal Oliver) dealing with diabetes. After some initial concerns as to how the disease was portrayed, it was not aired.

According to a network executive, the Disney Channel's Standards and Practices team consulted with medical experts during the script-writing process "to inform the story and be sure it was told responsibly."

"Notwithstanding the measures we took, and based on the episode's preview and early feedback from parents, we removed the episode from Sunday's schedule and are now reevaluating it," the Disney rep said.

"We will await the results of the episode review by a variety of experts and then will make a determination on the episode's future. Most importantly, we listened to those who expressed their concerns and consulted with the creative team (programmers and producers)."

It was then that they chose to pull the Nov. 2 episode, opting to make "He Ain't a Hottie, He's My Brother" the sitcom's season-three premiere instead. Episode No. 2, "Ready, Set, Don't Drive" (Billy Ray's message to the almost-16-year-old Miley, perhaps?) premieres Sunday.

"Still, there is great interest, especially from parents, in seeing the subject of living with diabetes somehow incorporated into our storytelling for kids and families, so we're hopeful we'll do so in the future," added the Disney Channel exec.

And it's not as if the Mouse House doesn't have a handle on the subject matter already. Also on Nov. 2, the Disney Channel aired an installment of Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream that explored how Nick Jonas manages his diabetes both at home and on tour. The 16-year-old JoBro appeared in a PSA afterward in support of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Hopefully it will air later. Do you think this episode was inspired by Nick J?

About JONAS

This is the official logo and plot of the new Disney show JONAS

The Show's Plot:

JONAS is the hottest rock band on the planet. Band members Nick, Kevin, and Joe Lucas (played by the Jonas Brothers) are superstar pop idols who tear up the stage night after night causing severe outbreaks of JONAS induced hysteria.

Legions of fans [Especially the ones determined to become a future Mrs. Lucas] want a peek at what their lives are like offstage. Behind the cool clothes and sleek guitars, they're just 3 boys from Jersey who are living the dream.

These ultra-talented brothers are also each other's best friends and still live at home with Mom, Dad, and little brother Frankie. At school, they hang out with lifelong friend and style guru Stella Malone, who believes fashion is the sixth sense.

In the school hallways, their classmate [And major fan] Macy Misagets uncontrollably excited around them, which usually means someone's going to get injured. JONAS episodes will feature musical vignettes woven into the story.

These brothers are probably the only superstar idols who still have to do the dishes, but they know how lucky they are to be living the dream.

Who's excited for JONAS?

Hello Everybody- November 2nd. 

I know it has been too long since I have been on here. A lot of stuff has been going on and I have not had a whole lot of time to get on here to fill you guys in. 

As some of you may already know I was in New York for Trick or Treat for Unicef, which is a great program educating kids to help other kids in other parts of the world, I know it may be a little late for Halloween but, check out the site and be ready for next year. 

I have also been back and forth to New York for a few talk shows Rachel Ray, The View, The Today Show. I LOVE New York, it is such a great city the energy is amazing..

I will be going to Dallas this upcoming weekend to help support my cousins cheerleading charity event. I can't wait to see all my friends and family from back home, it has been far too long since I have been home.

Also, last night I went to the Jason Mraz concert at the Greek Theater, by far one of the best concerts I have ever been to, he is amazing. If you have not already gotten his new album be sure to go pick up a copy and one of my favorites songs is 'Lucky'. I cannot even explain what a great show it was I was so happy to have been there.

Well I am finally 16 as some of you may know but, still no license not even a permit yet but...... I will be taking my drivers education test at the DMV November 4th. Wish me luck, I am nervous. When I pass I will have my permit and then have to drive around with my Mom and step Dad for 6 months before I get my actual license, I am guessing I will be 30 by the time I get it.

I cannot wait for the Holidays, I will be spending Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years with my family. The Holidays were cut short last year because of Another Cinderella Story shooting but, this year I have nothing in the way. I can't wait. My favorite time of year Fall to Christmas!

Sorry again it has been so long.Thank you all so much for everything your messages, comments, your calls, on here and on the youtube. I read them often and it means the world to me to have you all in my life.

God Bless,

Sel

Zac in 'Pirates 4'?

Zac Efron has reportedly signed a $10 million deal to star alongside Johnny Depp in the upcoming 'Pirates of the Caribbean'.

According to the National Enquirer, executives at Disney first approached Zac about accepting a small role last year after it appeared that Johnny would not agree to film a fourth Pirates film. However, now that Depp will reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow, Disney wants to groom Zac as his successor. This way, the studio will always have Zac on standby in case Depp decides he does not want to continue with the franchise.

Who would you rather see in the next Pirates movie, Zac or Johnny?
