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.

Entering the entertainment industry at the tender age of six months, Dylan and Cole Sprouse have spent most of their life developing their acting career. They made their movie debut in the 1999 film Big Daddy, starring alongside actor-comedian Adam Sandler. Now, they lead the Disney hit series The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and starring in the show has only made the twins even more popular.
Unlike some other youth stars, however, Dylan and Cole Sprouse have not allowed their fame to consume them, and amidst all the temptations of Hollywood, managed to maintain a commendable work ethic and sense of responsibility.

On screen, Ashley Tisdale is famously known as the extremely attractive teenage candy-counter girl on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and the domineering antagonist of High School Musical. In real life, however, the 22-year-old actress is actually just a simple girl who has never gone down “the party-like-a-rockstar path so many young celebrities get sucked into.” In the October/November issue of Girl's Life magazine, she reveals a side of herself that not many viewers are aware of.
While many perceive her as a Hollywood glamour girl, Tisdale says that she's just a regular person who happens to act for a living. In fact, she stays clear of the glitz and glamour of showbiz and reveals that she's actually a homebody.

This past week, Ashley Tisdale's tour was in full swing when she made a stop in Milwaukee, WI at the Southridge Mall. Fans began lining up more than twelve hours before the show began and over four thousand people turned out to see the Disney star sing. That's more than double the amount that showed up at her show in Chicago. She did not sing any songs from her hit television movie, High School Musical, but instead sang songs off her debut album.
