Vanessa Hudgens is a Crimson Cutie


Vanessa Hudgens, dressed in a crimson red hoodie, carried her own bags as she passes through security at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Friday.(February 22)

Zac Efron is One Slick Rick


Zac Efron arrives at the Gaiety Theatre in Douglas, Isle of Man on Thursday to continue shooting his new movie Me and Orson Welles (an adaptation of the period coming-of-age novel by Robert Kaplow).

Claire Danes stars opposite the 20-year-old teen heartthrob in the Richard Linklater-directed film.

Me and Orson Welles is a 1937-set movie, which centers on a high school student (Zac) who, while strolling the streets of New York, happens upon the yet-to-open Mercury Theatre and is noticed by its mercurial founder, Orson Welles.

Zac Efron Reads Between the Lines


Zac Efron practices his lines on the set of his new film Me and Orson Welles in the Gaiety Theatre, Douglas, on the Island of Man.

Zac is looking majorly sleek with his new hairdo, as captured by Isle of Man Today.

The other film Zac was recently filming back in L.A. was 17 Again. Producer Adam Shankman (and Hairspray director) had a few words to say about Zac:

“We have some very funny [dancing] scenes between him and Leslie Mann from Knocked Up, which are off-the-charts funny. But there’s also this big thing with Zac dancing with a lot of cheerleaders that is very, very fun and funny. People are going to be so surprised how seriously great he is in this movie. I’m really proud. This is about a man whose life has not gone the way he wants it to, so he wishes he was 17 again and he gets his wish. And then he’s realizing it’s nothing like he thought it would be. So it’s a reverse Big. It has as many funny scenes in it as it does heartfelt scenes. [Zac] has to carry this whole movie as a comedian. But there are some very emotional scenes as well.”

Zac Efron’s Copperfields Craziness


After a traditional English breakfast, Zac Efron poses with the owners of Copperfields restaurant and their baby on Monday. Copperfields is located in the capital town of Douglas, Isle of Man (the center of the British Isles).

After arriving at the restaurant, a gaggle of girls quickly spotted the teen heartthrob. Within minutes, the small group turned into a huge crowd waiting to catch a glimpse of the 20-year-old High School Musical star as he left.

The owners of the restaurant, Nick and Amy, called police and helped Zac exit safely out a side door.

Zac is currently in town shooting his latest movie, Me And Orson Wells.

Later in the evening, Zac was seen watching (blinking? falling sleep?) an English Premiere League soccer game with a few friends. His friends were overheard explaining the rules of the game to Zefron.

‘17 Again’ Movie Still


Here is the first official 17 Again movie still from New Line Cinema.

The comedy is about middle-aged father Mike O’Donnell whose life didn’t quite turn out how he wanted it to and wishes he could go back to high school and change it.

O’Donnell wakes up to find he’s 17 again (Zac Efron, pictured) and gets the chance to rewrite his life.

Burr Steers (Igby Goes Down) directed the film, which is slated for an August 2008 release.

Zac Efron Celebrates Bat Mitzvah


Zac Efron celebrates the Bat Mitzvah of a producer pal’s daughter in London on Saturday night. (The producer is from his upcoming movie, Me and Orson Welles)

The 20-year-old tween heartthrob will be spending about a month filming the coming-of-age romantic comedy in the Isle of Man (the center of the British Isles). Principal photography starts on Sunday, Feb. 24th.

Zac will plays a teenage student who lucks his way into a minor role in the 1937 Mercury Theatre production of Julius Caesar, directed by 22-year-old genius Orson Welles.

Zac Efron: London Bound


Sure, everyone loves him as the steamy High School Musical Heartthrob. But Zac Efron is on a mission to be taken seriously as a real bona fide actor.

Spotted out in Hollywood this past weekend, and then again yesterday at LAX airport, Zac is in London as we speak, prepping for his role in “Orson Welles and Me,” his first serious role. And Efron says he can’t wait.

“It’s a completely different project than I’ve ever done before. Gosh, I would say, that’s the main reason I’m looking forward to doing [it]. It’s just a side I’ve never really shown before. I think it’s going to be a lot of color in this movie. A lot of things you haven’t seen before, hopefully. I’m crossing my fingers, anyway.”

And the “Seventeen” actor says he’s taking his cues from Leonardo DiCaprio on how to transition from teen star to serious actor.

“I think someone who’s made very wise choices is Leonardo DiCaprio. He’s kind of my definition of teen star because when I was growing up his face was everywhere. I think since then he’s developed an incredible body of work. If there’s anyone I’d like to emulate it’s him.”

Vanessa Hudgens WILL Find a Way


Up in the air previously, the movie Will, starring Vanessa Hudgens, Liam Aiken and Lisa Kudrow will be co-financed by Walden Media and Summit Entertainment.

The movie WILL go on! There’s also been discussions that singer David Bowie may join the cast. The film will be directed by Todd Graff and produced by Goldsmith-Thomas Productions.

WHAT DO YOU THINK of the cast and the possible addition of David Bowie?

"PICTURE THIS" DVD WILL BE OUT BY THIS SPRING


Shenae Grimes is co-starring with High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale and fellow Degrassi actress Lauren Collins in an upcoming straight-to-DVD release titled Picture This. "It's coming out in the spring," Grimes said. "I spoke with (Tisdale) and she already has seen it. She watched it with Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical, and she was like, "We made Zac laugh, it's a good sign". And I was like, "OK, good, I'm excited."

Zac Efron Hits the Weights


It’s always cool to see our favorite celebrities staying in shape. And yesterday Zac Efron headed out to the gym with pal Bubba Lewis for a workout.

Efron and Bubba were spotted by the paparazzi on their way to the fitness center in Los Angeles, and they looked like they were ready to hit the weights.


The “High School Musical” stud was wearing a white t-shirt with Adidas shorts and a knit cap, while Bubba opted for a grey t-shirt with similar shorts and headwear.

With everything going on in Zac’s career, it’s no wonder he makes staying in shape a priority. He’s still filming “Seventeen” with Matthew Perry, and later this year he’ll tackle “High School Musical 3: Senior Year,” as well as “Me and Orson Welles.”

There will be no High School Musical 4 or 5


Filming will begin in the spring with the series' director, Kenny Ortega, who said that he's excited to be working one last time with the cast, who were all virtually unknown before the first "HSM" debuted on the Disney Channel in January 2006. The movie went on to be the highest-rated program in the channel's history, and the soundtrack to its first sequel was the second-best-selling album of 2007.

"I am the luckiest guy in the world and I know it," Ortega said. "This will be our last time together, and I love working with these kids so much. It's going to be great."

Everyone's back. All six stars of "High School Musical" will be onboard for the first big-screen adventure for the Disney Channel juggernaut. That means Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman will suit up for "High School Musical 3: Senior Year," slated for release on October 24, 2008.

The third installment will find high school seniors Troy (Efron) and Gabriella (Hudgens) dealing with the prospect of being separated as they head to different colleges. And, as usual, they will join the rest of the Wildcat gang to stage an elaborate musical to deal with it.

Budding pop singer Tisdale, who will, of course, be back in the role of jealous diva Sharpay Evans, told People she's also psyched about one more go-round at East High.

"I'm excited," she said. "But it's going to be sad. It seems like it will be graduation, and I'll be crying while we're filming."

High School Musical's 2-Year Anniversary!


That's right guys, it has now been 2 years since the phenomenon known as "High School Musical" was premiered on Disney Channel January 20th, 2006, which had 7.7 million viewers! The soundtrack quickly reached the top position on the Billboard 200 and became RIAA triple-platinum certified. Ashley made music history by being the first female artist to ever debut with two songs simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (“Bop To The Top” and “What I’ve Been Looking For,” both duets with co-star Lucas Grabeel). So much has come from the success of these amazing individuals including a 40-city concert tour, stage productions, an ice show, a book series, a video game, the awesome sequel, "High School Musical 2," and has launched the careers of our favorite 6 HSM stars in both film, television, music, and more! Congratulations to the cast of "High School Musical." In honor of the anniversary, here are some awesome photos of the HSM Cast at their London photoshoot! (Click the pictures below)

High School Musical 3: Senior Year


All principal cast members from Disney's "High School Musical" – Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman – will be reunited on the big screen for Walt Disney Pictures’ upcoming feature film, "High School Musical 3: Senior Year," it was announced today by Oren Aviv, president, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Production. This highly anticipated feature film is set to begin production in spring 2008 with DGA Award-winning director and choreographer Kenny Ortega returning to direct from a screenplay by Peter Barsocchini, who wrote the scripts for the smash hit Disney Channel Original Movies "High School Musical" and "High School Musical 2." The musical film’s producers are Bill Borden, Barry Rosenbush and Don Schain.

Commenting on the announcement, Aviv said, "We’re thrilled to have all of the talented cast members who helped to make ‘High School Musical’ such an incredible phenomenon joining us for this big screen motion picture event. They’ve developed a tremendous following with fans all over the world and ‘High School Musical 3: Senior Year’ takes these popular characters in some intriguing and entertaining new directions. Clearly, the music, spirit and personalities in these films have touched audiences in a very special way, and this latest musical adventure delivers lots of great new entertainment on an even grander scale. Kenny Ortega brings his enormous talents to this project and Peter Barsocchini has come up with a wonderfully inventive script that delivers plenty of delights and surprises."

"High School Musical 3: Senior Year" finds high school seniors Troy and Gabriella facing the prospect of being separated from one another as they head off in different directions to college. Joined by the rest of the Wildcats, they stage an elaborate spring musical reflecting their experiences, hopes and fears about their future. With incredible new music and exciting dance numbers designed to take maximum advantage of the big screen, this motion picture extravaganza delivers plenty of high-energy entertainment from East High’s talented ensemble.

Rich Ross, president, Disney Channels Worldwide, added, "The success of this franchise has been nothing short of amazing. We’re thrilled with the connection fans have to the characters, and we’re very excited to see the High School Musical story continue on the big screen."

Gary Marsh, president, entertainment, Disney Channels Worldwide, commented, "‘High School Musical 2’ set a milestone as the most-viewed cable telecast in history, and proved once again that there is a tremendous audience for movies that are inspiring, uplifting and entertaining. We’re so proud of our two Disney Channel Original Movies and are eager to extend the story of the Wildcats for the big screen."

"High School Musical 2" premiered on Disney Channel U.S. in August 2007 and attracted the largest audience ever for any basic-cable telecast with an initial viewership of 18.6 million. It has now been seen by over 179 million total viewers around the world. Its soundtrack was the #2 album of 2007 in the U.S. achieving global sales of over 6.5 million.

The first movie, "High School Musical," made its debut in January 2006 on Disney Channel U.S., and has now been seen by 250 million total viewers worldwide. It won two Emmy Awards, a DGA Award, the Television Critics Association Award for Outstanding Children’s Programming, an Imagen Award for Best Children’s Program, and a Humanitas Prize nomination, among others. The quadruple platinum soundtrack was the #1 album of 2006, received a Billboard Music Award for Soundtrack of the Year, and was nominated for an American Music Award in the Favorite Album (Pop/Rock) category. It was also the #1 TV movie on DVD for 2006 and became a best-selling series of junior novels and a popular consumer products franchise at mass retailers.

"High School Musical" themed shows have also proven to be popular at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Paris. In fall 2006, Disney Theatrical Productions adapted the teleplay for local school production, and it was projected that 2000 schools produced the stage version by the end of 2007. "High School Musical: The Concert," featuring original cast from the Disney Channel movies, played to capacity crowds with engagements in over 40 cities last winter and a five country Latin American tour in spring. Last September, Disney and Feld Entertainment launched "Disney’s High School Musical: The Ice Tour," with three companies scheduled to play more than 100 cities around the world in the first year. "Disney’s High School Musical On Tour!," a live Broadway-style stage experience that captures the excitement and music of the films, is currently playing across the country and is produced by Disney Theatrical Productions.

Vanessa Hudgens Helps the Homeless


Vanessa Hudgens makes a generous gesture in Los Angeles on Monday, showing her generosity by giving a $10 bill to a homeless man sitting by the side of the road.

The High School Musical alum, who was driving her convertible Audi with her mom Gina, made the kind gesture as she was waiting at a red traffic light.

The mother-daughter duo then headed to a pharmacy, and later met up with a female friend to grab lunch. When Vanessa returned home, she covered her nose with her hand because of strong smells of asphalt as the street was being re-surfaced.

At the end of the day, Vanessa bought some more clothes at Urban Outfitters in Studio City. She just seems to live there, doesn’t she?

Zac Efron - “Details” January 2008


King of tween Zac Efron is featured on the January/February 2008 cover of Details Magazine. Interview highlights:

On the beach candid shots of him and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens: “At that point it was inconceivable. I had no idea that anyone could ever care. That happens to, like, big stars. I woke up and my dad told me that I was in a newspaper on the beach—he made fun of me, he said I was ‘frollicking.’”

On the paparazzo who took the pictures of him shirtless and Vanessa in a bikini: “The photographer left me a note with a disc of all the pictures, and on the note it said, ‘Thanks for the Range Rover!’”

On his pissed off neighbors at his apartment complex: “It annoys my neighbors that the paparazzi take all the parking spots.”

On Seventeen being created as a star vehicle for him: “It’s weird but I don’t feel like I deserve any of the attention. There’s really nothing but one audition for a Disney Channel movie that separates me from 2,000 other brown-haired, blue-eyed guys in L.A., you know?”

No More Privacy For Vanessa Hudgens


Now that the holiday season has died down, and we’re well into 2008, Vanessa Hudgens is getting back to life as usual. She was spotted yesterday with her mother Gina, running her usual errands around Los Angeles, California.

The High School Musical beauty has definitely learned a lesson or two about how quickly things get blown up in Tinseltown.

She told an interviewer, “With the Internet these days, you don’t have a personal life. Nothing is private. Everyone knows everything, and they can find out everything about you. You’re not as safe as you think you are, and you have to be aware of the people you’re around.”

Vanessa continued, “I tell girls all the time: Don’t post your private business for the world to see...Why do that when you can call someone, and go hang out with them—rather than sit on your computer, which is a complete waste of time...Hours will go by, and you’re still sitting there, when you could be outside doing anything else.”

Hudgens cautioned her fans, “Something bad can happen from [posting things online]—it usually does. You just have to be careful. I had MySpace and Facebook profiles a long time ago, but I shut them down as quickly as I could.”

Utah Offering $2M Incentive for "High School Musical 3'


With the first two "High School Musical" productions proving to be big hits, a state board is putting out a $2 million incentive to make sure a third installment also is shot in Utah. Meeting in Price, the Governor's Office of Economic Development Board approved several economic development incentives Friday, including the package for High School Musical 3 Productions Inc. If the film company selects Utah, it would receive the state's biggest production incentive ever. An offer of $263,000 was approved for "High School Musical" and another for $500,000 was earmarked for the sequel. According to board documents, the film's budget is $13.3 million, and 99 percent of that would be spent in Utah. The production would involve 190 crew positions at $1,875 per week; plus $58,498 for stunt performers; $15,000 for Utah casting directors; and $472,640 for about 4,000 Utah extras. The production would take place over 41 days, starting April 21.

Popularity of both "High School Musical" films has prompted people from across the country to visit East High School to see where the films were made.

To capitalize further on that fame, East High students put on several sold-out performances of the "High School Musical" play as their fall musical. The production's popularity was expected to gross more than $25,000 for the school. The school's popularity rose sharply following the second film's release to the public. School leaders estimated over the summer 40 to 50 people would wander the building to see areas where the movies had been filmed.

High School Musical 3’s Vanessa Hudgens And Zac Efron Named It Couple



When it comes to ”it” couples and hookups during 2007, Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron, stars of the upcoming High School Musical 3, should immediately come to mind.

After all, they’re young, talented, charming, and have paparazzi following every move they make. So who can argue with ABC News’ decision to name the cuties in their end of the year list?

“The stars of Disney’s hit movie High School Musical, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens became the center of attention this year when they were spotted vacationing in Hawaii,” described the website. ”The new hot couple were photographed looking very cozy and comfortable together. Vanessa had a tumultuous year when pictures of her surfaced on the Web, but this did not bother Zac one bit. He proudly stood by his girl through it all.”

Zac Efron Wants To Be Queen



With his effeminate good looks and penchant for wearing make-up, Zac Efron has long been the subject of gossip about his sexuality. Given the rumours, the "High School Musical" star makes an unfortunate admission during a new magazine interview.

Zac is the subject of Seventeen magazine's 17 questions in their new issue and this is his response to question Number 8.

Seventeen: If you could trade places with anyone in the world for one day, who would it be?
Zac: Queen of England. Why? No idea.

Admittedly, the teen heart-throb also dished on his first kiss ("I was like the only boy and there were a bunch of girls up there") and his adolescent crush on Tyra Banks. Zac is currently dating his "High School Musical" co-star, Vanessa Hudgens.

'High School Musical 3' Shooting Date Confirmed


High School Musical 3 was expected to start shooting in January, but the recently-closed location deal in Utah indicates that April 21 is when the cameras will start shooting. Based on the documents filed with the Utah Governor's Office of Economic Development board (GOED), Utah will again be the setting for Disney's much awaited third installment. Filming is set to begin from April 21 and is expected to be wrapping up by June 13, with a theatrical release later this year. “High School Musical [3] will be officially shooting in Utah,” Lisa Roskelly, spokeswoman for Utah Governor John Huntsman Jr., confirmed. In an effort to ensure the production in Utah at Lake City's East High School, the GOED board reportedly approved a maximum $2 million incentive for the production. This is the largest incentive ever given to entice a filmmaker to Utah, given that the state provided $263,000 in incentives for the original High School Musical and $500,000 for High School Musical 2.

While Disney officials decline to comment, East High School Principal Paul Sagers reveals that he and Salt Lake City School District officials have been meeting with Disney executives about renting the East High building for filming. Shooting is scheduled for 41 days, which is longer than the first two movies.

So far, the first two productions of High School Musical have become a massive gold mine for Disney, generating merchandising that includes dolls, videos, and a national concert tour. The films have consistently earned high ratings not only in the United States, but in other countries as well.

"Each one has gradually become more prestigious after the success of the first one," Marshall Moore, director of the Utah Film Commission, said "And going from a cable release to a theatrical release certainly solidifies its position as a franchise."

Zac Efron Settles Into Seventeen Set


It’s no secret that Zac Efron is headed for a huge film career. His latest gig is a movie with Matthew Perry called “Seventeen.” And from the looks of it, he’s fitting in just fine.

Yesterday, the High School Musical stud was photographed on the Santa Monica set of his new movie, clowning around outside his trailer.

When he showed up on set, Zac was wearing a clean button down shirt, but in subsequent pics, it appeared that he’d gotten quite dirty. Is it part of the movie’s script, or is he having mud wrestling matches with the former Friends star?

Nevertheless, 2008 is set to be a great year for Zac. With HSM 3 in the works, and his status as one half of one of the hottest Hollywood “It” couples, it’s clear that Efron is sitting pretty.

Vanessa Hudgens - “Seventeen” February 2008


Vanessa Hudgens is the cover girl for the February 2008 issue Seventeen magazine.

Favorite quote of the article is from Vanessa’s mom Gina: “Well, everyone can be naked if they want to!!!!!”

Here are some great snippets from the High School Musical’s revealing interview:

How are you feeling about the [nude picture] scandal? I’m much better now. But truthfully I don’t like talking about it. It was something that was meant to be private, and even though it isn’t anymore, I’d still like to keep it as private as I can. It was very traumatic, and I am extremely upset it happened. I hope all my fans can learn from my mistake and make smart decisions. But I wouldn’t have been able to get through it if it wasn’t for my family, friends, and fans, who supported me all along the way.

Who told you the photos had been leaked? I found out from my manager. We heard some story was going to break in the tabloids, and I was like, What?!? A few days later, the picture came out while I Was on vacation in Australia. Thank God, I wasn’t home–it would have sucked if I was at home. So I got to be away from L.A. for about a millisecond. But when I came back, it got kind of crazy.

How did you explain the situation to your mom? I was just open with her, and she was just so cute. She was like, “Well, everyone can be naked if they want to.” [Laughs] My parents are very supportive of me. And they know I’m a teenager, and yes, kids do stupid things sometimes. It’s very unfortunate because with the Internet these days, you don’t have a personal life. Nothing is private: Everyone knows everything, and they can find out everything about you. You’re not as safe as you think you are, and you have to be aware of the people you’re around.

It’s great that Zac stood by you through all this. To you, what’s the best thing about him? He always makes me happy. He literally knows exactly what to do to make me laugh. [I don’t really think about the future with Zac.] It’s fun having a boyfriend. He’s a friend and a cute friend who you like. It’s nice. But only time will tell. I’m still young, and I have my girlfriends and I have my family. I think that it’s definitely important to have balance. I think girls can be sucked into the relationship and give too much. They like to be so into their boyfriends, you know? And you can’t do that, because you get too infatuated–and then you lose contact with your friends. It happens to a lot of girls.
