Pick your favorites: Disney Channel stars will compete in comedic relay races, grand-scale obstacle courses and other challenges in five special half-hour telecasts of the "Disney Channel Games," starting at 8 p.m. Sunday. Competitors will include The Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez and the Cheetah Girls.

In the first episode, team captains are chosen and the stars are divided into four teams who must build a chariot and race it to the finish line.

At the post-games concert, Miley Cyrus performs songs from her new album.

Each of the four subsequent "Disney Channel Games" 2008 special telecasts will be presented at 8 p.m. Saturdays through Aug. 30.

Special guest: Oscar-nominee Rosie Perez ("Fearless") will guest-star on NBC's drama series "Lipstick Jungle" in several episodes starting with the season premiere on Sept. 24.

Perez will step into the life of Victory Ford (series star Lindsay Price), a re-emerging designer in the fashion world. Perez will play the role of Dahlia, Victory's publicist, who brings a successful attitude to Ford's life.

In tune: Three guitarists make their virtual debut in Activision's "Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock." The "Guitar Virtuoso Track Pack" has three fresh master tracks.

The new material includes Joe Satriani's soulful "Surfing with the Alien," Steve Vai's "For the Love of God," and Buckethead's "Soothsayer."
