My Season 3 DVD arrived, here’s a scan of the artwork. There’s only one dual-sided disc with 6 episodes on one side and 7 on the other. There aren’t any bonus features, not behind the scenes, deleted scenes, bloopers, minis, etc. Still, it was only $11.99, and less than $15 now, so make sure you do buy a copy at your local Best Buy!

Please credit us if you post on your own site, it’s untagged!

Thanks to the anonymous person who sent me these a couple of months ago! She asked that I tag the captures since she spent so much time capping the episode for us. They are very high quality caps that have a small AW tag in the bottom right hand corner.

Jude Harrison (Alexz Johnson, Final Destination 3) spent last season fighting for survival and proving she’s worth the hype—now she’s welcoming superstardom with open arms. Her sophomore album is topping the charts and she’s reveling in everything fame has to offer. But the rewards of Jude’s success are offset with fresh pitfalls and dangers. A tabloid scandal, stalker fans, and controversy with Sadie (Laura Vandervoort, TV’s Smallville), her older sister, are just some of the major downsides to being one of the most recognizable faces in music.

Preorder the 3rd season for only $13.99 now on DVD Empire and get FREE shipping!

The Instant Star Season 3 DVD release is January 19th, but you can preorder it now! Also watch this promo video for the first season here, features a new introduction to the show! Alexz sounds GREAT!

To win you will have to create a music video or performance video of YOU performing an Alexz song. You don’t have to be a good singer, the presentation has to be good though. Basically, what you’re doing is making a music video to any Alexz song you want and it stars you. All you have to do is grab a camera and perhaps some friends to help and create a video.

There are some rules:

1. The video must be 100% original, except for the song of course.
2. It must be 2:45 or longer, the maximum is 5 minutes. If you do Chicago, just leave out the last minute or edit to your likings
3. You may only do Alexz songs. You can do songs she performed on Instant Star, as long as she or Brendan wrote them (24 Hours, Skin, Criminal, and Another Thin Line to just name a few).
4. Video must not exceed 100mbs. If you need help with compression, just ask me on Mr Jones.
5. BE CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN! Go all out! You have exactly ONE month to enter your video, so make good use of the time.

We’ll start accepting submissions starting tomorrow, and will stop on December 4th at midnight PAC.

Where do you send the music video? Just upload it to either Megaupload.com or Mediafire.com (PLEASE ONLY USE THESE 2 SITES!).

Echo Bridge Entertainment has closed a slate of agreements for two teen series from its Alliance Atlantis Distribution catalogue: Degrassi: The Next Generation and Instant Star.

European deals for Degrassi: The Next Generation include Poland’s Canal+ Cyfrowy Sp. Zoo, taking seasons seven and eight; France’s Canal J, which took season seven; and Spain’s Antena 3 went for seasons four and five. At MIPTV, the company will premiere season eight of Degrassi: The Next Generation, currently in production on 22 half-hour episodes. The series airs in the U.S. on The N.

A number of deals have also been closed across Europe and the Middle East for the teen series Instant Star. Canal+ Cyfrowy Sp. Zoo went for season four, Israel’s Noga Communications took seasons one through eight and MTV in Spain scooped up seasons one, two and three. Spain and Andorra’s Antena 3 picked up the first eight seasons of Instant Star, while MTV Networks in Spain and Andorra took season four and France’s Canal J also went for season four. Instant Star also airs on The N.

“These two series continue to perform extremely well, generating impressive ratings worldwide and we are excited to offer an all-new season of Degrassi: The Next Generation at MIPTV this year,” said Dan March, the executive VP of Echo Bridge Entertainment. “Quality teen programming is in demand from broadcasters around the world, and Echo Bridge is thrilled to be in a position to meet those demands with these stellar programs.”

So Echo Bridge will be releasing both the 3rd and 4th seasons of Instant Star. We’ll keep you all updated.

It seems Funimation is releasing a new season 1 and 2 combo pack for Instant Star. At the moment the only new content on the DVD is the “Can’t take the Me out of Me” DVD extras, we don’t know what this is yet! It’ll be out on April 7th, but you can preorder it now!

Of course the sad part of last year was that we were not shooting Instant Star any more. I’ve been looking again at some of the Instant Star episodes, and I am just so proud of them. It was one of those rare combinations of an incredible cast, wonderful writers, and great music.

But one thing we can all look forward to is the release of Alexz Johnson’s first solo album sometime next year, probably in the Spring. Alexz is so eager to get the album out to the fans. And rightly so.. it’s one of those albums you can listen to again and again and again. On first listen it’s breathtakingly beautiful–and then as you listen more it just keeps getting better!!!

As a final note, I get a lot of emails with questions about the release of CD’s and DVD’s.

As for Instant Star, I am hopeful that we will have the Seasons 3 and 4 DVDs, as well as the Greatest Hits soundtrack released sometime in the next few months. But with the series having been cancelled, it hasn’t been the priority for the distributors that some other projects have been–I’ll keep pushing though!
