China Anne McClain goes back to her musical roots on 'A.N.T. Farm' -- FIRST LOOK

When Chyna (China Anne McClain) and the rest of the kids in the Advanced Natural Talents program have to come up with a special project for Black History Month in the Feb. 1 “influANTces” episode of A.N.T. Farm, Chyna finds herself struggling to write a song for her presentation. So, of course, she decides to lock herself in a recording booth until she comes up with the perfect song. After accidentally falling asleep, Chyna takes a dream journey back in time where she becomes famous African American music icons from the past: Aretha Franklin (in the photo above), Janet Jackson, and Ella Fitzgerald. Inspired by her dreams, Chyna writes a new version of the A.N.T. Farm theme song, “Exceptional,” with lyrics that pay tribute to the great women who came before her.

Get Ready for a Surprise on an All New 'Jessie' - Friday, September 7

[Via www.Fanlala.com...]

It’s certainly a night of surprises on Friday.  Chyna (China Anne McClain) finds out she’s a genius on an all new ‘A.N.T. Farm,’ and the kids of ‘Jessie’ are in for a twist as well!

We all love Mr. Kipling, but it looks like “he’s” been hiding a few secrets of “his” own.  Jessie (Debby Ryan) and Ravi (Karan Brar) discover eggs in Kipling’s nest, and realize that she’s actually a mom-to-be!  Of course, nothing ever seems to go right in the apartment, and Ravi quickly misplaces some of Ms. Kipling’s eggs.  We hope they stay safe!

Meanwhile, Zuri (Skai Jackson) is saddened by the unfortunate passing of her imaginary friend Millie the Mermaid.  She’s determined, however, to host the best funeral ever for her gone, but not forgotten, friend.

Tune in to a brand new ‘Jessie’ - “The Secret Life of Mr. Kipling” this Friday, September 7 at 8:30pm ET/PT.  Right after, you can catch an all new ‘Fish Hooks.’ at 9:00pm ET/PT.

We’re super excited to see Ms. Kipling’s new kids!  It’s always nice to have some additions to the family :)
