She's your basic average girl and she's coming to live action! Disney Channel has finally released the cast of lead roles for Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable for the upcoming live action adaption of the television show. Sadie Stanley and Sean Giambrone will star as Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable respectively. Giambrone stars in the ABC comedy, "The Goldbergs" while Stanley is an unknown who scored the role in her first ever audition. The movie is set to go into production this summer and is set to debut in 2019.

“Sadie delivers Kim’s confidence, smarts, and agility; most importantly, she’s an everyday girl with an extraordinary spirit,” said Judy Taylor, senior vice president of casting and talent relations for Disney Channel. “Sean is such a magnetic actor; he always finds the right balance of physical comedy and heart. We’re excited for audiences to see Sadie and Sean bring these iconic roles to life.”

The movie was announced back in February. For many like myself, lots of people grew up with KimPossible on our screens and lots of hype is being put on the adaption of this film. The show launched in 2002 on Disney Channel and ran for 87 episodes. Two animated Disney Channel movies were inspired by the series, “Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama” and “Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time.” Christy Carlson-Romano voiced Kim in the series, with Will Friedle voicing Ron.

I always looked up to Kim Possible as a kid and now I definitely consider her to be a cartoon feminist icon. Kim mostly battles male villains, has combat and critical thinking skills, and is never overshadowed by Ron, but always makes sure he knows that he is a help to her. Along with Kim, Shego (henchwoman to Possible's nemesis), Shego runs the show. She never straight up takes Drakken's orders, is strong willed and more sensible than her boss at times. The show was a great platform for kids like myself to grow up seeing and it is so exciting to see that kids now will be able to discover the show through the new movie.

The casting was announced through a fun video featuring Friedle and Carlson-Romano "passing off the torch" to Giambrone and Stanley. Side note: if you are not following Friedle on any social media, I highly recommend doing so.

The announcement of the casting makes the movie anticipation go up even higher and can't wait to see this movie when it comes out. The Kim Possible live action will be premiering in 2019 only on Disney Channel!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
