Brenda Song red carpet

Ever wish you could catch all of your favorite Disney stars in one place? Now you can with the brand-new That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana Mixed-Up Mashed-Up Edition DVD (we're giving a bunch away — check out the WIN section!).

This supercool DVD includes three episodes of your favorite Disney shows, and the best part is that stars from each cross over into other episodes. Confused? We'll let Suite Life star Brenda Song fill ya in....

TEEN: Tell us about this Mixed-Up Mashed-Up Edition you've got happening.
Brenda Song: The DVD contains three different episodes, actually. There’s one for each show: That's So Raven, Suite Life, and Hannah Montana. We're all crossing over into each other's shows. In the Suite Life episode, Raven and Hannah Montana actually both cross over into ours. Raven comes to the Tipton and Maddie convinces Raven that she can get London to wear one of her original designs. Of course, London being London doesn’t want to wear something that’s made by someone who isn't famous. Maddie wants to make everyone happy so she switches the tags in the dresses and then there's this crazy mixed-up, mashed-up mess! There's actually one scene that me, Ashley, Raven, Miley, and the Sprouse twins are all in, and it's the first time all of us got to work together on the show.

TEEN: Wow! What was it like getting to work together?
B.S.: It was like a big party! And for once we had the boys outnumbered, so it was cool. It was fun to have other girls your age and girls you watch and look up to on the show. It was an amazing experience.

TEEN: Are you friendly with the other Disney stars?
B.S.: What's so cool is when you’re a part of the Disney Channel family, you’re really a part of a family. We've all gotten to know each other throughout the years, whether it's doing promos or making appearances on each others' shows. It's like having another group of friends outside of work.

TEEN: Are you excited to head back to work on The Suite Life?
B.S.: I think it's nice to see everyone again and it's kind of like going back to school after summer vacation and seeing what everyone's wearing! The best part is seeing everyone and getting back into that routine again.

TEEN: What did you do while you were on hiatus?
B.S.: I did some promos for Wendy Wu. I got to travel a lot. I went to Malaysia, Singapore, and Costa Rica. It was really nice. It was the first time in a long time I really got to just be with my family and be a teen.

TEEN: That sounds like fun! But, tell me this, last time we spoke, you mentioned that you were afraid of flying. How was it flying all that way to Malaysia?
B.S.: I had to just get over it! This last year I've flown so much, so I just literally had to get on the plane and think, "I know exactly what's going to happen. Just take a deep breath and get through it.' I've had to overcome my fear!

TEEN: Good for you! Now, what do you know about the Wendy Wu sequel?
B.S.: Very little! I can't really say anything because I don't know what's going on.

TEEN: You seem to play a lot of sassy characters; is that fun for you?
B.S.: It's so much fun for me because I love clothes. It's fun to play all of thesecharacters and try on all of these different outfits. London's outfits are absolutely crazy, but I would never get to wear them. It's fun to play characters and put them in different wardrobes and find out, "Oh, I never knew lime green would look good on me!"

TEEN: Do you find yourself branching out more fashion-wise?
B.S.: Definitely! And now I start to realize how quiet my personal fashion really is compared to London's. I used to think that I was pretty crazy, but then I realized I'm not at all compared to her!

TEEN: Is it ever hard to watch yourself on TV?
B.S.: I can't watch myself at all! I don't quite know why, but it's really hard. I always think, I should have done that differently. I guess we're all just our own worst critics.
