"Pair of Kings" is a tv show about two fraternal twins who live in Chicago and discover that they are the twins of a King and Queen.  But, their parents have passed away and they are left with the throne!  In the show they go on many adventures and usually find trouble. Monday at 8 pm on Disney XD.

The twins are Brady played by Mitchel Musso ("Hannah Montana" and "Phineas and Ferb") and Boomer played by Doc Shaw (The Suite Life on Deck" and "Tyler Perry's House of Payne").  Brady and Boomer  must learn how to adjust to typical teen life on the island of Kinkow.

Imagine Mason, played by Geno Segers, as the Royal Adviser to the Throne of the island of Kinkow coming to your home and telling you the news of your privileged lineage!  Kelsey Chow ("One Tree Hill") rounds out the cast as Mason's adorable daughter.

I intervewed Ryan Ochoa, 14, "who plays Lanny", the twin's devilish cousin and a wanabeee, who wants to be king more than anything in the world.  But, his cousins are in line for the throne first.  Throughout the show, Lanny, tries to get rid of his cousins so he can become king.  The two new kings do not know it, but Lanny is a major problem to their survival as kings.

It was said to be one of the hottest days of summer so far, but the Piazza at  Schmidt’s, located in Philadelphia, was still exploding with excitement. The third sequel of the Twilight Saga was soon opening in theaters and fans were buzzing.

Girls painted their faces white, with red face paint looking like blood dripping down their chin. Others had arguments about who was the best character. Some answered questions about “Twilight” so they could win cool prizes. “Twilight” T-shirts and posters and even cookies that sparkled were sold. Fans of all ages were screaming and cheering for hours on end.

Meanwhile, a second Blockbuster movie, “The Last Airbender,” was poised for its debut the same week. This movie was directed by one of Hollywood’s best storytellers, M. Night Shyamalan, and brought a well-loved television show, “Avatar”, to the big screen. “The Last Airbender”, akin to “Eclipse”, brought thousands of fans, adults and children alike, to theaters all around the country.

Both international phenomenons have the well-known actor, Jackson Rathbone, portraying a lead character in it. In “Eclipse”, we see Jackson as the dark, mysterious Jasper Hale. In “The Last Airbender” we meet Sokka, a sensitive young man who protects his sister.

I got the chance to sit down and talk with Jackson Rathbone, along with the fun-loving Bronson Pelletier, who portrays Jared, a member of the Twilight Saga wolf pack.
