The stars of Disney's The Suite Life of Zack and Cody are heading for the high seas next season. The family-oriented cable channel is taking the show out of the hotel and into a luxury liner, with show stars Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Brenda Song and Phill Lewis reprising their roles on the spinoff entitled, The Suite Life on Deck.
The new show follows the twin brothers Zack (Dylan Sprouse) and Cody Martin (Cole Sprouse) and hotel heiress London Tipton (Song) after they sign up for a semester-at-sea program aboard the SS Tipton. To his dismay, dutiful hotel manager Mr. Moseby (Lewis) is tasked to look after the three on their new nautical adventure.

Dylan and Cole Sprouse aren’t just big television tween stars. The twin brothers, most famously known now for their roles on Disney’s hit series The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, are also busy exploring other industries beyond the small screen, one of which is the literary scene.
In the Spring, the boys will be attending this year’s Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, which claims to be “the country’s largest celebration of the written word.” The event will take place on Saturday, April 26, from 10am to 6pm, and Sunday, April 27, from 10am to 5pm at the UCLA Main Campus. It is not known at this time on which day Dylan and Cole Sprouse will grace the event.

Because of the ongoing WGA strike, fans of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody haven't had a new episode since December. When we last left the gang at The Tipton, Cody (Cole Sprouse) helped London (Brenda Song) with her new website, called Yay Me Starring London Tipton. Meanwhile, Zack (Dylan Sprouse) and Mr. Moseby (Phill Lewis) unknowingly become friends while playing an online game that they are both addicted to. Many well known and important people have stayed at The Tipton but on the new episode, the Martin brothers are in awe when guest star Tony Hawk checks in.

The Suite Life of Zack and Cody star Brenda Song has signed on to do a new film with House actress Lisa Edelstein. The film, Special Delivery, will air on Lifetime Movie Network most likely in December.
The movie centers on Maxine Carter (Edelstein), a bonded courier working in the Pacific Rim. Her next assignment has nothing to do with transporting evidence or life-saving organs but for delivering Alice (Song), a bratty teenager who's making her way from China to the United States to be with her mother. Upon reaching the U.S., Maxine realizes that a trap has been set up for the two of them, and becomes responsible for Alice's safety.

The Disney tween series The Suite Life of Zack and Cody is among those shows that have seen much success on the world wide web as it has on the small screen, which is why it is no surprise that writer and producer Danny Kallis, creator of the hit show, is protesting along with numerous industry writers and actors.
The primary aim of the strike is to increase the residuals writers receive from DVD sales, as well as to get studios and networks to give proper compensation for sales made via new media, which include internet downloads, IPTV streaming, smart phone programming, straight-to-internet content, and other “on-demand” online distribution methods.

Brenda Song's character on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody is known for her over the top fashion sense, but the 19-year-old actress says that in real life, she'd rather dress down than dress up.
In fact, for the upcoming holidays, Song intends on draping herself with red-and-green novelty print scarves, and not with sparkly sequins and lush feather boas, items that are characteristic of her onscreen persona.
