Flashback Friday: Boy Meets World Cast Reunites on set of Girl Meets World
Picture: Disney Channel
Growing up in the 90's you were most likely a fan of ABC's hit show "Boy Meets World." The series lasted 7 years on the air and made a comeback 14 years later with Disney Channel's "Girl Meets World" in which the audience follows the life of Cory and Topanga's daughter – Riley Matthews and her best friend Maya Hart. Other than main characters Cory and Topanga, Girl Meets World has been a platform for some of the original cast to make appearances as well. Recently, they had their biggest reunion yet with most of our original favorites on set to film the final episode of GMW's third season! We wonder what the episode will be about? In the meantime, in a sneak peek for an upcoming episode we see Shawn waiting for his future bride, Katy (Maya's mom) walk down the aisle at their wedding with Mr. Feeny officiating the ceremony! All the feels~!!
"Girl Meets I Do" premieres on the Disney Channel on Friday, August 12! Don't miss it!
Current Obsession: Todrick Hall
Todrick Hall is arguably the most creative, talented, colorful, musical, positive individual we've seen in a long time. There's no doubt that you've seen his face somewhere - whether or not you saw him on American Idol, or his own MTV series – Todrick, maybe on your Virgin America flight where he pops up on your screen singing and dancing around during the safety video, he's guest starred on a few episodes of hit show "Dance Moms" or you've probably run into one of his incredibly popular YouTube videos – you've seen Todrick somehow. We've been fans for a few years now so it's not necessarily a "Current Obsession" but an obsession nonetheless; just watch one of his videos, you'll know what we mean! Most of his uploads have reached millions of views, his top video being "Disney Dudez" starring Todrick and our good friends from former boyband IM5. Every piece of work he puts out into the world is clearly something that his heart and soul has been poured into. He recently released a visual album called "Straight Outta Oz" which features 16 beautifully created videos with lyrically powerful songs to match, even featuring celebrities from the likes of: Amber Riley, Nicole Scherzinger and Jordin Sparks lending their voices on a few tracks. Todrick and his "Team Toddy" are currently on a nationwide tour performing all of the songs off of his new album, and while he clearly has a long list of projects under his belt – this is just the beginning for this incredible talent.
