where are they now?: disney channel original sidekicks

There's no way I remember any of these characters' names [okay, that's a lie... I totally remember some], and they tend to be forgotten pretty easily... so let's remember them. Put 'em in the spotlight. Show 'em some love.. on here and Twitter.

Lizzie McGuire: 


Adam Lamberg AKA Gordo. He looks the same, for the most part, and has only got 5200 followers on Twitter, and has commented on Miley just like a lot of these peeps.

LaLaine AKA Miranda. She also looks the exact same and has also made comments about Miley on her Twitter.


Jake Thomas, AKA Matt. He's been in some episodes of CSI and is filming Storytellers right now. He's slacking on the followers too, but seems to be the same little Matt we knew on Vine.


Even Stevens: 


AJ Trauth AKA Twitty. He was most recently in a show called Ro. It's a shame I can't find him on Twitter cuz I'd like to ask him if he'll marry me with his sexiness.


Margo Harshman, AKA Tawny. She was on an episode of NCIS this season, and only has 6000 followers.


Hannah Montana: [seems like they've all got a case of the Miley....]


Moises Arias AKA Rico. He's gone all gangsta in this pic and full grown-man nose. He's the voice of Antonio in Despicable Me and he's doing pretty good on Twitter. He's also BFF's with Jaden Smith.


Mitchel Musso AKA Oliver. Look at him just bein a badass with tats... but he still seems super goofy on Twitter. He's still stickin' with Disney, and is a voice on Phineas and Ferb.


Flash Forward: [more main characters, I guess] 

Jewel Staite, AKA Becca, is on the show "The Killing." Her follower count is pretty damn good, and so are her tweets: 

If only my Disney channel show lasted more than 22 episodes.. pic.twitter.com/xrgiih8Ki6

Ben Foster, AKA Tucker, is freaking HOTT and has been in a bunch of smaller movies. I can't find a Twitter account for him.

So Weird: 

Cara DeLizia AKA Fiona hasn't really done much in the past few years, and is MIA on Twitter. DID SOMETHING HAPPEN?!

Patrick Levis AKA Jack has become an adorable family man with under 200 followers! He's also into music, but doesn't seem to be acting anymore.

There are obviously some I'm forgetting, but I think they're the ones that either no one cares about, or are around all the time anyway. 

It's crazy how they all grow up, isn't it?! Brings a tear to my eye.

what your childhood toys look like now

I was strolling through a shop the other day and came across a collection of "ORIGINAL TY Beanie Babies!" I was all pumped... until I looked at them.

It's not original at all! Look at its eyes! It's gotten the 21st century eye treatment! They're HUGE!

I decided to look up how many other toys have changed through the years since I haven't been in a Toys R Us in a while, and it's a little terrifying.

Barbie Styling Heads now come with pets... and even more extensive make-up than ever.

Furby has gotten even creepier... WITH LED EYEBALLS!

The doctor's kit is in a tote bag, but other than that I'm happy to see not much has changed.

If you've seen Toy Story 3, you know about Barbie's Dream House nowadays... elevators and way more pink.

If you thought Bop It was hard way back then, stay away from the new versions. 

Polly Pocket... doesn't even live in a pocket anymore!

The Easy Bake Oven... looks nothing like an oven, unless you're living in Zenon's world.

GIRL TALK still exists?! YUP. With a One Direction version.

So long innocent, simple red car. 

And so long simplicity of the Skip It. Now there's levels and lights and OMG ARE WE AT A RAVE?!

Lite Brite... no longer making you poke lights through a piece of paper because that's wasting... it's an LED screen now.

Pink sports cars are soooo not girly enough for today's Barbie car.

OMG REMEMBER BABY ALL GONE?! Or something like that.... She can still eat her magic peas, but can't have real hair.

Once again, simple is no longer cool. Little People got makeovers too.

Ooh and the Littlest Pet Shop! Again with the big eyes.... They don't look remotely the same anymore.

Oh, look... more humongous eyes on My Little Pony.

And even Etch-A-Sketch has gotten a millennium makeover. 90 degree angles are so last century.

So... maybe kids these days are kinda playing with all the awesome toys we used to play with.... but they're mostly completely different. Plastic surgery at its finest.

on the racks: ruthie camden is proving she's all grown up again in maxim

Ruthie Camden, AKA Mackenzie Rosman, really likes to prove that she's grown up. That's fine, cuz she's mostly hott, but I wish the girl would do something great with her life beyond trash things that just get people talking. [See: Ghost Shark, coming soon to Syfy.]

Oh well. Let's look at her bod in Maxim.

 And here are some pics she posted: 

I'm underwhelmed. She's cute, but...meh. I was more shocked/impressed when we found these pictures four years ago. BUT, if you want more, holler at the September issue of Maxim.

FYI: 7th Heaven only stopped airing five years ago. Also: Miss Mackenzie is now 23 years old. Woah.

where are they now?: cast of sabrina the teenage witch

The movie came out 15 years ago! So where is the cast after all these years? Mostly looking the exact same...

Sabrina

Well, she's basically still living in a 90s sitcom on ABC Family on "Melissa and Joey."

The family

Aunt Hilda was on a bunch of D-list reality shows, and now is a couple voices on Disney's Phineas and Ferb.

Aunt Zelda was on Lost as Kate's mom, and now she's a waitress on Under The Dome.

Salem, AKA Nick Bakay wrote Mall Cop, Zookeeper, and more movies... and is also a producer!

The high school peeps

Harvey basically fell off the planet... and apparently plays guitar in a bluegrass duo now.

Libby has been in a couple episodes of Castle, Bones, and ER. 

Principal Willard Kraft is Gene Parmesan on Arrested Development!

Valerie was on Ben and Kate before it was canceled too early, but also Bring It On, duh.

The college years

Morgan was like, crazy awesome in the 90s... but since Sabrina, hasn't really done anything of note.

Roxie voiced some of the Bratz characters, but now mostly concentrates on a boutique she opened in LA.

First of all, no wonder Sabrina ended up with Josh and not Harvey, just based on looks alone! But he's really not any more successful. He hasn't done anything great since Sabrina [WHY!?!?!].

Who knew most of the people from a really great show in the 90s, who mostly look the same, would never get another great gig?! Such a shame.

the sandlot cast has been reuniting across the nation!

Well, it's a little late to be finding this out since the tour is almost over, but to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Sandlot [hi, you're old], the cast has been traveling to a ton of different ball parks to meet with fans!

Squints, Ham, Yeah-Yeah, Timmy, and Tommy "Repeat"

Let's just admire the guys in their grown-up state:

They got honored at the field in Salt Lake City where most of it was filmed.

Maybe most of them aren't super hott nowadays, but for some reason I kinda wanna hump Squints. Never saw that sentence coming out of my mouth. ...or... fingers.
Also... Yeah-Yeah!? Woah guy. You're large. You should take a break from the gym sometimes.

You should also know that Ham is married in real life.

Get it, boy!

If you wanna try and catch them somewhere on their last couple trips, find out all the deets here. 

I'm sorry that I'm just now hearing about this. I failed you. 

love,
