Instead, Lina's world is turned upside down when her mother remarries and her family relocates to Malibu, where she is forced to adjust to a new home, a new stepsister (Holland Roden) and a new school with a less-than-stellar cheer squad. Always ready for a challenge, Lina takes on the daunting task of transforming the Malibu Vista High Sea Lions cheer squad into a championship team, but she will have to get past the award-winning Jaguar cheer squad and their captain, Avery (Rachele Brooke Smith).

Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely - and certainly unwanted - visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy's passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down. Remy finds himself torn between his calling and passion in life or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef. (Animated)

ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas 2009

[Press Release - Released by ABC]

Burbank, CA (November 3, 2009) - Hilary Duff ("The Story of Bonnie and Clyde," "A Cinderella Story"), Matt Dallas, ("Kyle XY," "Eastwick"), Michael McMillan ("True Blood," "What I Like About You) and Chris Carmack ("Drop Dead Diva," "The OC") have signed to star in the ABC Family original production "The Business of Falling in Love." The two-hour original movie will begin principal photography this month in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is set to premiere on ABC Family in spring 2010.
 
"The Business of Falling in Love," based on the book Diary of a Working Girl by Daniella Brodsky, stars Duff as Lane Daniels, a bright effervescent fashion journalist whose career and love life come together in a smashing way when she pitches the article "Switching Careers to Find Love" to Cosmopolitan magazine - her favorite magazine and ultimate career aspiration. Lane can't believe her luck when the editor goes for it in a big way, handing her the professional opportunity of a life time - a potential cover story!

In order to pull the undercover story off, Lane must first land a corporate job. From there, her mandate is simple - find lots of eligible guys in suits in the office and date as many as possible! Following her interview with a job placement agency, she meets her new boss, Tom (Michael McMillian), at the offices of Thompson/Fullworth. Lane quickly learns that going to work doesn't just mean wearing a nice suit and going to lunch. Luckily Tom takes her under his wing and teaches her the ropes. As she navigates her way through Thomson/Fullworth, she also meets Seth (Matt Dallas), a hottie on whom Lane develops a crush after he comes to her rescue when the copy machine goes haywire. But her perfect plan goes awry when she meets Liam (Chris Carmack), a gorgeous music producer with a British accent who sweeps Lane off her feet. Her editor's rules for the story are clear - Lane can only date the businessmen in her office - so Liam is strictly off limits! Lane is forced to choose between what she believes might be love and her Cosmo cover story - and the results are far from what she expected to find!
 
The movie is directed by Gil Junger ("10 Things I Hate About You," "Greek") and written by Michael Horowitz ("Burn Notice"). It will be executive-produced by Hillary Duff, Frank Von Zerneck ("Sorority Wars," "Acceptance"), Robert Sertner ("Acceptance," "Flirting with Forty"), Ira Pincus ("The Gambler, the Girl and the Gunslinger," "Living Out Loud") and Jessica Horowitz ("Spectacular!," "Your Place or Mine").

Hilary Duff in New ABC Family Movie "The Business of Falling in Love"

Tonight, ABC Family will air the mid-season finale episode of GREEK titled "Friend or Foe." Most of you are probably still high on last week's episode, with Casey and Cappie finally getting together. That was pretty exciting, but the fun doesn't stop there.

On tonight's episode, "Friend or Foe," Casey and Cappie have to figure out how to let Evan know about their relationship. And as you probably guess things don't go as smoothly as they both hoped.

In other news, the ZBZs are competing in the Songfest, but need to come up with a new dance when theirs gets disqualified. Thanks to ZBZ pledge Abby (Oleysa Rulin from "High School Musical"), they are able to choreograph an all new dance, which is pretty damn awesome. You'll probably want to watch that a couple of times.

I of course can't tell you whether or not they win the competition, but what I can tell you is that the result of the competition actually leads the events of the cliffhanger for this finale. Which unfortunately is not the most exciting finale ever, but definitely makes me want to tune back in. Because let's face it, I would watch the rest of the season even if there wasn't a cliffhanger because I love the show so much.

Another big part of tonight's episode is Cappie and Evan trying to unite their houses. What are the chances they'll actually succeed? Yeah... didn't think so. But the bigger question is, will Cappie and Evan's friendship survive everything that happens?

And finally, Rusty and Dale decide to settle their score through a battle of bots competition. It sounds a lot better than what it actually is. I guess I was expecting more explosions.

I am honestly a little disappointed with the Dale/Rusty storyline right now. Dale used to be one of my favorite characters, but it seems that instead of growing he is going back to the character he was in season one. I just wish he would continue on his journey instead. As for Rusty, well hopefully he'll get a new girlfriend soon, because I kind of liked his relationship with Jordan. But I guess that will have to wait until Greek comes back.

For now, enjoy tonight's episode!

The short films included in the two-hour presentation include:

"ADVENTURES OF ANDRE AND WALLY"
There's nothing like a restful nap in a pleasant wooded valley. But when Andre awakens and is greeted by a pesky yellow-and-black striped insect with a nasty stinger, he ends up taking a quick (and painful) hike. Andre thinks he's a clever guy, able to outsmart and outrun a bee. But like all stinging insects, Wally knows better, and can chase down any target in a matter of seconds.

"BOUNDIN'"
"Boundin'" features a freshly shorn lamb and a jackalope -- the mythical horn-adorned rabbit of American western folklore. For the high-stepping lamb, life is an upbeat western waltz until his prairie friends tease him about his freshly sheared look. He gets down in the dumps after losing his lustrous coat. The only one who can see things right is the giant jackalope, who brings sunshine and optimism with him wherever he bounds. Irrepressibly optimistic, the jackalope comes on to the scene to cheer him up and put a dance back into his step. (2003 Academy Award® nominee for Best Animated Short Film)

"FOR THE BIRDS"
One by one, a flock of small birds perches on a telephone wire. Sitting close together creates problems enough, and then comes along a large dopey bird who tries to join them. The birds of a feather can't help but make fun of him, and their clique mentality proves embarrassing in the end. (2001 Academy Award® winner for Best Animated Short Film)

"GERI'S GAME"
An aging codger named Geri plays a daylong game of chess against himself in the park. Somehow he begins losing to his livelier opponent. But just when the game's nearly over, Geri manages to turn the tables. There's Geri. And then there's the other Geri. You'd swear they were twins who didn't get along since birth. In reality, it's only one very old man who is young at heart and having a little fun with himself by faking a heart attack and finding new uses for his dentures. (1997 Academy Award® winner for Best Animated Short Film)

"JACK-JACK ATTACK"
From Disney∙Pixar's 2004 Academy Award®-winning "The Incredibles" (Best Animated Feature Film) – this short finds Kari believing she's in for a night of routine babysitting. Kari is prepared to provide neurological stimulation with some soothing musical accompaniment for little Jack-Jack, the smallest member of the Parr family. Little does she know that Jack-Jack will teach her a thing or two about babies with "special needs." True to her word, Kari proves that she can handle anything that Jack-Jack can dish out - but barely. And Jack-Jack proves that listening to Mozart truly does make babies smarter… or in this case, discover their super powers.

"KNICK KNACK"
Life on a shelf as a snowman trapped in a snowglobe blizzard can become wearing, especially when you're surrounded by knickknacks from sunnier locales. When the jaded snowman finally breaks free of his glass house, his vacation plans are cut short. The touristy souvenirs on this shelf are true to life in their kitsch-ness: a disproportionate blonde from Miami beckons from a pool, a Death Valley skeleton invites people to surf the desert, and an Egyptian pyramid dons large sunglasses.

"LIFTED"
A young alien student bungles his first lesson in elementary abduction as an increasingly weary instructor looks on. (2006 Academy Award® nominee for Best Animated Short Film)

"LUXO JR."
A baby lamp finds a ball to play with, and it's all fun and games until the ball bursts. Just when the elder Luxo thinks his kid will settle down for a bit, Luxo Jr. finds another ball -- ten times larger! Luxo Jr. has a great dad in the larger lamp. Even though he is a bit unpredictable, the elder Luxo gives him room to grow and explore. And the tiny light has no problem with that. (1986 Academy Award® nominee for Best Animated Short Film)

"MATER AND THE GHOSTLIGHT"
A companion piece to Disney∙Pixar's 2006 Academy Award®-nominated "Cars" (Best Animated Feature Film), this short finds Mater "haunted" by a mysterious blue light that teaches him not to play pranks on the other cars in radiator springs.

"MIKE'S NEW CAR"
From Disney∙Pixar's 2001 Academy Award®-nominated "Monsters, Inc." (Best Animated Feature Film) – this short film finds Mike discovering that being the top-ranking laugh collector at Monsters, Inc. has its advantages -- in particular earning enough money to buy a six-wheel-drive car that's loaded with gadgets. That new car smell doesn't last long enough, however, as Sulley jump-starts an ill-fated road test that teaches Mike the true meaning of buyer's remorse. Since ending the energy crisis in Monstropolis, this pair can still get into quite a predicament. Mike's pride in his new wheels is only surpassed by Sulley's lack of skills at the control panel. The two eventually agree on one thing -- walking to work might be best, at least today. (2002 Academy Award® nominee for Best Animated Short Film)

"ONE MAN BAND"
With one coin to make a wish at the piazza fountain, Tippy, a peasant girl, encounters two competing street performers who'd prefer the coin find its way into their tip jars. Tippy is caught in the middle as a musical duel ensues between the one-man-bands. (2005 Academy Award® nominee for Best Animated Short Film)

"RED'S DREAM"
Life as the sole sale item in the clearance corner of Eben's Bikes can get lonely. So Red, a unicycle, dreams up a clown corner and his own juggling act that steals the show. But all too soon, the applause turns into the sound of rainfall as reality rushes back. Red must resign himself to sitting in the corner and await his fate. Don't let Red's sale tag fool you. He's really a priceless unicycle with a big heart that could help out juggling performers like lumpy the clown - if only someone would give him a chance.

"TIN TOY"
Babies are hardly monster-like, unless you're a toy. After escaping a drooling baby, Tinny realizes that he wants to be played with after all, but in the amount of time it takes him to discover this, the baby's attention moves on to other things only an infant could find interesting. The secret's out: curious crawling babies are what cause toys to become "lost" beneath furniture and behind dressers. But the tin musical toy, Tinny, isn't like the other scared toys under the sofa. He knows his job is to make children laugh, not cry. (1988 Academy Award® for Best Animated Short Film)

"YOUR FRIEND THE RAT"
From Disney∙Pixar's 2007 Academy Award®-winning "Ratatouille" (Best Animated Feature Film) – this short film finds Remy and his less than enthusiastic brother Emile presenting their case as to why humans and rats should just get along. Remy guides us through the shared history of man and the rat. Emile then provides many fun rat facts to help explain why the rat should be better appreciated. The two pull out all the stops and end with a song describing a rat and human Utopia.

"BURN•E"
A companion piece from Disney∙Pixar's 2008 Academy-Award®-winning "WALL•E" (Best Animated Feature Film), this short features a welding bot on the Axiom Starliner named BURN•E, who, while repairing a light bulb, is locked out of the Starliner by WALL•E and Eve. He attempts to open the locked door, but finally realizes he cannot.

"PRESTO"
Dignity. Poise. Mystery. We expect nothing less from the great turn-of-the century magician, Presto.
