Vanessa's Not Ready To Open Up

PopSugar — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 16:40:38 -0700

Vanessa Hudgens was all set to make an appearance on The Tonight Show, but she suddenly had to cancel at the last minute. We have to assume that this is directly related to her nude photo scandal, especially since the rumors haven't died down much in the last week. Most of you don't think her career with Disney is over, but skipping promotional appearances can't be a good sign.

Is Vanessa's Future With Disney Ruined?

PopSugar — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 12:13:32 -0700

High School Musical has been a huge success that has skyrocketed its stars to fame. Vanessa Hudgens is one of those newly popular teen starlets. However, recent racy photos of her may have cost her everything. Vanessa is set to appear on Jay Leno this Thursday, and we can only assume that her leaked photos will come up in conversation. Disney has been unclear about Vanessa's career and she has already publicly apologized for the photos. So we want to know - do you think Vanessa's future with Disney is ruined?

High School Musical 2's Record Breaking Premiere

Molly — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 09:38:31 -0700

Zac Efron had a lot to smile about having lunch and reading over a script at Aroma Cafe in Hollywood yesterday. Friday evening's High School Musical 2 premiere was the most watched cable program of all time, bringing in 17.24 million viewers!! Never underestimate the power of kids, tweens and their parents (who secretly love it). Also, Zac's baby blues, shaggy hair and spray tan doesn't hurt. Between HSM and Hairspray, Mr. Efron is quite the commodity these days, isn't he? I'm definitely impressed with all the little HSMers! Methinks we'll be seeing High School Musical 3, 4, 5, 6....

Are You Planning to See High School Musical 3?

PopSugar — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 09:06:11 -0700

High School Musical 3 hit theaters on Friday, and earlier this week the whole cast paid a visit to TRL after traveling the world to promote their movie. It's the last film in the hugely successful franchise, but since most of you don't think Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are America's newest sweethearts we are curious to see what you make of all the hype. So tell us - are you planning to see HSM 3?

The High School Musical Seniors Are Approaching Graduation

PopSugar — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 14:30:34 -0700

After taking their movie all over the world, the High School Musical kids were back on their home turf to premiere the third and final installment of the franchise in LA last night. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens looked like king and queen of the senior prom while Ashley Tisdale debuted her new darker hair. Fellow Disney star Selena Gomez was there to support her pals, and there were plenty of other celebs and their kids to check out the film. It must be a bittersweet end for the cast who have grown close over the past few years, but rather than get nostalgic about their friendships, they were more interested in discussing what to get Zac for his 21st birthday tomorrow.

High Time for a High School Musical DVD Party

Molly — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 16:30:12 -0800

All the PYT's from High School Musical were out in LA on Monday to celebrate the release of HSM2 on DVD. While Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens had a little cuddly time on the red carpet, the gang was all about charity as the event benefited a LA children's hospital. And even though the night's focus was on the second movie, the buzz was about how the cast is in talks to join up again for a third installment. Vanessa, for one, said, "I am so very excited... to do a third one for the big screen, I can't begin to think how much fun we'll have." After a bit of an iffy time in the middle there (uh, you know why), I can only imagine that Vanessa is extra thrilled to be back on screen playing Gabriella next to her heartthrob boyfriend.
