Posted 7/11/08 2:58 pm EST by in Uncategorized


Story by Elena Torres

What tools does a "High School Musical" character use to achieve her goals (or anything, for that matter)? Song and dance, of course. Well, at least that's how Ashley Tisdale's character, Sharpay, does it.

"Now she's competing for this Juilliard scholarship," Tisdale revealed of her snobby songstress' plot developments in the eagerly-anticipated, theatrically-released "High School Musical 3: Senior Year." "You know how she is when she wants something! You know, she has to get it." Read More...

'High School Musical 3’ Cast Gear Up For Their Senior Year

Posted 5/6/08 12:23 pm EST by in News, Video


Just like in the real world, senior year at East High means tough decisions for the graduating class. And that's what we're gonna be seeing as "High School Musical 3” dances its way into theaters on October 24 later this year (see the poster here).

At a press conference signaling the start of production, the cast addressed what fans can expect from the third year. Resident hunk and winker extraordinaire Zac Efron took the reigns, stating "This is the final year at East High for the Wildcats, so we're kind of deciding for ourselves what we should do with our futures. For my character, basketball is a huge priority, but then there's also his new love of theater. [There are] a lot more decisions to make."

Michelle Trachtenberg Looks Up To Zac Efron As Her Dad In 'Seventeen Again'

Posted 3/28/08 12:39 pm EST by in News


Michelle TrachtenbergMichelle Trachtenberg was off fighting vampires when she was 17 -- but for "Seventeen Again," she's happy to be "free and clear" from action scenes, especially those that involve dancing. That, she leaves to her co-star Zac Effron.

"I just watch him and mope," she said -- and not because she's pining for a different sort of action. As if! He's playing her dad (even though she's two years older), and just to rub it in, she called him "Dad" on set. "Anything we did, father/daughter-wise," Trachtenberg told us, "I'd tease him, 'I'm older than you! You're not really my father,' while he's trying to tell me what to do." But she understands that the girls love Zac, and she doesn't fault them for that: "If you think he's hot, rock on. He is." Read More...
