COSTELLO: Over the years we've seen Disney depart from the traditionally Anglo-Saxon Princesses with the samples like Pocahontas, Mulan and Tiana, the African-American princess. Well, now there is a Latina princess, but her ethnicity is not so obvious. A.J. Hammer of "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT" is in New York to explain. Good morning.</s>A.J. HAMMER, HLN HOST, "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT": Good morning, Carol. Yes, Disney is being relatively low key about the introduction of Princess Sophia. She's going to be the first Latina princess on their roster. She'll be making her big debut next month on the "Disney Channel" in the TV movie called, "Sophia the First, Once Upon a Princess." And there's going to be a TV series on Disney and on Disney Junior. So it's not a theatrical film just yet. The story line is about Sophia becoming a princess when her mother marries into the royal family of a fictional country. And while they're being pretty matter of fact about this, during a recent press tour, some of the people behind the show did confirm that Sofia is Latina. But it seems that they don't plan to make a big deal of it. In fact they told "Entertainment Weekly", Carol, when it comes to kids, a princess is just a princess. And I think therein lies a great lesson.</s>COSTELLO: Absolutely. And I have to agree with that. A.J. Hammer, thanks so much. For the latest entertainment news watch "</s>SHOWBIZ TONIGHT" 11: 00 Eastern on HLN. Angelina Jolie is donating $50,000 towards the education of girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan. She's making that donation in honor of Malala, the 14-year-old Pakistani girl shot in the head last week by the Taliban for promoting education for girls. Malala is now fighting for her life in a hospital in Britain. Twitter censored. Say it isn't so. Oh, but it is. We'll tell you why.
