Texas native Demi Lovato is getting her own show on the Disney Channel because she’s yet to pose in a bedsheet. Because everyone in the media is very concerned with the career trajectories of preteen girls, Demi is being called the “next Miley Cyrus,” which sounds a little familiar:

Disney Channel has greenlighted the live-action comedy series “Welcome to Mollywood,” starring Demi Lovato of the network’s upcoming Jonas Brothers movie “Camp Rock.”

It’s a role that could potentially put Lovato on the teen queen career path trod so successfully by Miley Cyrus and Hilary Duff.

The tentatively titled series — executive produced by Brian Robbins, Sharla Sumpter Bridgett, Steve Marmel and Michael Feldman — centers on Molly (Lovato), a 15-year-old small-town girl who, after a nationwide search, is chosen to join the cast of the most popular and long-running teen sketch comedy show on television. The sitcom will feature a show-within-a-show with fully produced comedy sketches.

And now some fun facts to enrich your life: Did you know Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez have been very good friends since their days on “Barney & Friends?” It’s true! You weren’t using those extra little brain cells anyway, right? Anyway, we think both girls seem cute and charismatic, albeit ubersqueaky in their videos and they obviously have a lot of little, stupid girls looking up to them so, girls? Keep those Power Rangers T’s firmly in place for a while. Please?
