Update!// Posted on August 31 by Jessie
Ok, I will be on holiday this weekend so I wanted to update before I left. Ok first, here is a little video on E! of Ryan Seacrest gushing about Vanessa being his Celebrity Crush and explaining her new single on a "Dancing with the Stars" video and much more about her start at fame!Next we have another little funny video I found on youtube. It's an interview of Lucas Grabeel! He admits to Zanessa! =] He sounds really tired and it's quite a funny interview.
If you are interested there was a cute little Zanessa interview in a German Bravo Magazine and Yes it's in german on the scans but on forum link the user on ZF Forums translated it as best as they could into english below in the comments! =]
Thanks to we have some new pictures from the 'High School Musical 2' UK Press Conference today. There will be more to come but this is it at the moment. Expect them Sunday or Monday!
Lastly below I posted an cute article courtsey of Zac Efron Online about how Zac and Vanessa play video games together! It's really funny...
Even celebs have their own inner 'Game Dork'
Maybe you heard that the romantic stars of Disney's High School Musical movies are dating in real life. What you don't know is they love to play PlayStation 3's suspenseful Resistance: Fall of Man together.
Zac Efron, 19, and Vanessa Anne Hudgens, 18, tell me Resistance was their favorite game over the summer.
"The best game, I think ever, is PS 3's Resistance: Fall of Man," Hudgens says. "Whenever I play that game, or watch somebody play that game, I get so caught up in it. It's so much fun, killing the aliens. And they're so freaky, you get scared."
Now that video games are a national pastime, it's no surprise celebrities have become game dorks. (Stars are just like us, right?) Efron describes himself as just that, a game "dork" stuck on Halo, Fuzion Frenzy and various PS3 and Xbox 360 titles.
"I'll be playing PlayStation 3 and goofing off, then I'll go to the grocery store and there'll be photographers" from the tabloids, he says. "It's hilarious" as a lifestyle.
Like gamers everywhere, Efron sometimes has trouble concentrating on real sports, because he is used to controlling virtual sports stars with his thumbs.
"Dude," he tells me, "I was in London for Wimbledon, and I wanted to go see all my favorite players that I play in Top Spin ... And I was like, 'Oh my gosh, the character should have automatically dove!' I find myself phantom-tapping a controller, like: 'I hit R1 not R2!'"
I think of that phenomenon as "video game vision," when gamers see games as more real than reality. The entertainment industry will eventually ca ter to video game vision. In the future, I think, Efron and the rest of us will be able to watch real-time football games through the graphics of our modem-synced Madden games.
John Madden says, at the very least, sports broadcasts will have to let TV viewers pick which camera angles to watch.
"These players who grew up as gamers, they want to play the game," he says. "They don't want to just sit there like a blob and watch. They want it to be interactive. It's going to be like that sy."
Not every celeb gamer is a pro. Masi Oka, who portrays Hiro on Heroes, rocks on Madden football games during solo PS3 outings, but isn't fantastic against real-live opponents, he says.
"I thought I was good until I played someone else and said, 'Oh, wait. I guess I'm not that good," Oka, 32, says.
Meanwhile, other celebs are digging into the super popular, interactive Nintendo Wii.
But a Wii mishap sent Zachary Levi to the emergency room.
Levi, 26, plays a dorky, accidental spy in NBC's new TV show, Chuck. ("Dork is the new cool," he says.) He injured himself while serving a tennis ball against a buddy in Wii Sports.
"So I go for this overhead smash, and I put my hand through this light fixture in my living room, and literally glass showered the entire living room," Levi says. "There were shards of glass in the wall, I hit it so hard."
"I bring my hand down with the Wii controller dangling from my wrist by the safety strap -- the SAFETY strap, by the way -- and blood starts dripping from my hand."
You can see Levi's 14 stitches if you look closely at his hand in the first episode of Chuck. "I didn't sue,"
Levi says. "I'm hoping Nintendo hears about the story and gives me some free stuff!"
Doug Elfman is an award-winning columnist who is also the TV critic at the Chicago Sun-Times. He blogs at DougElfman.com.
("Resistance: Fall of Man" retails for $60 for PS 3 - A pretty, basic sci-fi shooting game. Plays well. Looks good. Moderately challenging. Rated "M" for blood, gore, intense violence, strong language. Three stars out of four.)
New to you -- used game of the week
You might be tempted to buy Xbox 360's Bullet Witch when you see it selling for $20 or so in the used bin at the game store. But beware: the game's not as seductive as the woman on the front of the box.
You play as a witch who wields a powerfully long gun with a blade on the end of it. But despite its promising set-up of saving victims in the future, from post-apocalyptic, nuclear-altered Earthlings, it plays very repetitive as a shooter. It's rated "M" for blood, language and violence.
Toop 10 rental games
Here are the Top 10 best-renting video games, according to retailer Blockbuster. Games are listed by title, company, the gaming system, and rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board.

Hey, I'm home from school sick today so I thought it was a good day to get some stuff done. I added a new music player with more songs and it works this time unlike the old one. It's really cool, I like it. Also I finally added some old pictures I never had the time to upload them with, but today I do. I added the George Lange photoshoot for USA Weekend and the TV Guide Special HSM2 Edition scans. Expect little tweaks throughout the site here and there today.

London Stuff!// Posted on August 29 by Jessie
Ok! Let's start out with a little article with Quote from Jared Murillo's father talking to David Caplan on Zanessa & Jashley!"High School Musical 2 star Jared Murillo’s dad Alex says his son and his HSM2 co-star Ashley Tisdale are hopelessly “in love” with each other. "They’ve been dating since early November of last year,” Alex told 24Sizzler.com, of Ashley and Jared, who’s signed to the new boy-band The Factory.(And I, Mica, can add that they have done half of the album, 6 songs. Aparently the album will have 12 songs. And one of the guys of the boyband told me the name of the upcoming album!!and it's kind of exclusive of hsmusicalweb.org!) Well, it will be called "Naughty Body"! and the CD will be out November-December this year, followed of a national tour!! Well, let's continue reading..) “They’re in love. What makes them so special, is that they’re in love. They always talk about each other.”
Murillo adds, “I’ve never seen a more perfect couple than those two. Their personalities fit perfectly. Their commonalities are so scary. It’s bizarre how people like this meet, and their chemistry match.” "
And here's other article of them, also of David
"High School Musical 2 real-life couples Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Tisdale & Jared Murillo are inseperable from each other when they’re not shooting. “Jared and Zac spent time this past weekend, and Ashley spends a lot of time with Vanessa,” Jared’s dad Alex told 24Sizzler.com. “I call them ‘The Fearsome Foursome.’ They all like to go shopping together, go to movies together, and just spend time together.”
And Zac and Vanessa remain hot-and-heavy, despite reports to the contrary. “I know them, and I know their parents,” Alex tells 24Sizzler.com. “Zac and Vanessa are an adorable couple. They get along so well. I’m just so happy to see them as a couple.”"
Moving onto an article from Just Jared of Zanessa & the casts CD signing in London I told you about a few days ago...Sickingly sweet couple Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens work the crowd for a meet-and-greet at London music store HMV Oxford St. on Wednesday. Zanessa joined High School Musical 2 castmates Monique Coleman, Lucas Grabeel and Olesya Rulin for the CD & DVD signing.
Zac brought back the bangs! Loving Vanessa’s tunic!! And the rings seem to be in tact!!!
And if you haven’t already, check out Time magazine’s article on “How Zac Efron Became the Cutest Guy Ever.” He’s a good-looking theater geek!
And here’s another tidbit about Vanessa from the Teen Choice Awards: “Vanessa was totally psyched about getting a new pink CHI hair flat iron. She already had the CHI iron in black and blue. And she loved seeing her face on the Mattel Games’ High School Musical edition Uno cards saying: ‘You know you’ve made it big when you’re an Uno card!’ But she was squealed with delight when she overheard her song played on a nearby foot-tapping iDog: ‘That’s me! That’s me!’” BABY V!
Now onto the pictures! here are some new pictures from the signing in London yesterday! Vanessa looks Gorgeous as usual!
Lastly I have some good videos for you guys to check out! First, here is one from ExtraTV.Com at the Teen Choice Awards. They ask them about their rings and they get a pretty confirmed response. lol! The rest are below! Enjoy! =]

Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens & High School Musical Rule Teen Choice Awards// Posted on August 28 by Jessie
The teen choice awards were dominated by Zanessa. Real life and on screen sweethearts Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens had the young crowd screaming uncontrollably (especially for Zac) and the pair helped their collective projects clean up on surfboards on Sunday night. In a no brainer - "High School Musical 2" winning a top honor for best TV movie.Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens & High School Musical Rule Teen Choice Awards (Wenn)
Zac Efron was also dubbed "Choice Male Hottie" and Vanessa Hudgens "Choice Music Breakout Artist. Even "Choice Comedian" Dane Cook thanked the "HSM2" team, joking, "I couldn't have done this without you."
***
Zac's other project "Hairspray" was a winner as well as it grabbed the Choice Summer Movie: Comedy/Musical and its easy to argue that it would have never made it without the teen sensation. The awards show, which aired in the United States on Sunday night on the Fox broadcast network, was co-hosted by actress-singer Hilary Duff, 19, and actor-comedian Nick Cannon, 26.
The Associated Press notes that Sophia Bush was the night's biggest competitive individual-category winner, scoring three awards: Choice Movie Breakout: Female, Choice Movie Actress: Horror/Thriller for "The Hitcher" and Choice Movie Actress: Comedy for "John Tucker Must Die."
***
Justin Timberlake also scored multiple honors. He won for Choice Music: Male Artist, Choice Music: Payback Track for "What Goes Around . . ..," and was honored with a special, Teen Choice answer to a lifetime-achievement award, "Ultimate Choice."

Vanessa Hudgens:Teen Choice Red carpet
Vanessa Hudgens compliments Nick Cannon on the red carpet at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards, hoping that he'll "Wild Out" later. Eventually, he does.
High School Musical 2 wins the Choice TV Movie Award at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards! Vanessa Hudgens also wins for Choice Female Breakout Artist.
High School Musical Parody-TCA opening
From Jared at Just Jared...
The 2007 Teen Choice Awards red carpet was disappointing as stars darted into the Gibson Amphitheater before the show started. (Being conveniently placed at the butt end of the press line did not help one iota). Vanessa Hudgens ran right past me but I was lucky enough to scream out and ask her “Who are you wearing??” “Uhhh, Thread social” she yelled back! Likewise, Zac whizzed right by, merely smiling and waving to reporters.
My head was not in the game as the show kicked off but I just happened to poke my head out of the press tent at the right time. Not only did I see Vanessa backtsage, Zac was standing right besides her! What were the odds?!
It was all you crazy Zanessa shippers. You guys willed it to happen!
I approached Vanessa first, as I did interview her over the phone about a year ago.
Asking her if she reads JustJared.com, Vanessa replied, “Of course I’m familiar with it!”
“Your site is totally blowing up,” she gushed. “I love it!”
I didn’t want to interrupt Zac as he was talking to one of his handlers at the time, but he came right on over and introduced himself to me!
Zac shook my hand and commented on Just Jared, “Yeah man, continued success!”
Zanessa kindly obliged to hold up “I LOVE JUSTJARED.COM” signs under one condition.
“Don’t write anything mean!” Vanessa said. “I’ll be reading!”
Zac jetted off in Eco-Limo Chauffeur Service’s Toyota Prius (pictured below) while Vanessa and I chatted for a bit more.
Vanessa mentioned she has already started to field new music for her upcoming sophomore album. And she was off to do more press for High School Musical 2 in Europe. Of course V took one last picture before she took off…
Congrats to the cute couple, who picked up three surfboards each! Zac for Choice Male Hottie, Vanessa for Choice Music Breakout Artist and both for High School Musical 2’s record-breaking debut and Best TV Movie!
A big thanks to Zac and Vanessa for showing Just Jared some love. And to all the Zanessa fans — you guys are the greatest!

From Just Jared...Vanessa Hudgens gives paparazzi a big thumbs up as she gets down to business at a meeting in a Hollywood office building on Friday. The High School Musical star then grabbed lunch at Bob’s Big Boy Burgers with her father.
It was suspected that her mom, Gina Guangco, picked her up at Zac Efron’s home early Thursday morning in the Toyota. But maybe it was her dad!
BBV toted around the Balenciaga Giant, chatted on her iPhone (probably with Zac!), brought back her “Live in Love” bracelet, and wore two different pairs of sunglasses throughout the day including a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers.

Later in the day, Zac was spotted eating lunch at Sitton’s Diner in North Hollywood for about 30 minutes with a mystery male.

Lastly here is a small article on Zanessa...
How hot are Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens on the set of High School Musical? For two films the adorable couple have been "together" and they weathered the rumors and speculation. And at the center of it all, Zac and Vanessa have kept their romance scrupulously low-profile. Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens Romance On the Set of High School Musical.
On the set of the HSM2 set, "if you didn't know they were dating, you wouldn't know they were dating," a production source told People Magazine. "They're really good at not being obvious." They became more open as news of their relationship gradually leaked out: More sources note his "megawatt smile" and thank-you kiss for Hudgens when she brought him a plate of food at a recent photo shoot. And why hide? "Two people fell in love," says costar Monique Coleman. "Who cares? We're good kids."No kidding. A report from People notes that they are like teen idols from a gentler era. When they are snapped out Efron and Hudgens are buying Pinkberry frozen yogurt, not stumbling out of nightclubs. They hit the gym together and join fellow cast members for movie nights. Bart Johnson, who plays Efron's HSM father, recalls seeing the two at play in Toluca Lake, Calif., where Efron has his own apartment near his family's home (Hudgens lives with her parents in LA): "Vanessa had a scooter and she'd pull Zac around on his skateboard with a rope. He'd surf behind her all the way around Toluca Lake." So why keep the romance so quiet? "First of all, they are so young, still teenagers," the HSM source tells the weekly entertainment magazine. "But it's also the classic teen-idol thing. It kills the fantasy when a teenage girl knows her idol has a girlfriend. But ironically the fans seem to be accepting their relationship, I think because it goes along with the storyline in the movie."
[EDIT:] Credit to VAO for the following news, pictures, and video! [Picture copyright to Disney Channel & Karen Neal]
Hey, hey, hey! Just found some new info for you guys! First off I know Vanessa will be going to London soon. Probably in the next couple of weeks.
Also photos were finally released of the filming of the Dance-A-Long. How awesome is that? The entire cast will teach you the dance to What Time Is It & All For One. This was filmed on May 23, 2007. So they are semi old.
Scott Garner, Senior Vice President, Programming, Disney Channel Worldwide, said, "Our viewers made dance moves from the first movie iconic and we're pleased to once again provide them with an opportunity to learn the new dance moves from HSM2."
Joined by many of the talented dancers seen in the movie, the cast will break down the steps to the opening and closing musical dance numbers, "What Time Is It" and "All For One," into a series of easy-to-learn dance steps designed by Emmy Award-winning choreographers Kenny Ortega, Charles "Chucky" Klapow and Bonnie Story.

Zanessa Divas? & Teen Choice Awards// Posted on August 23 by Jessie
Will Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens turn down what would be a sure fire box office blow out? High School Musical 3 won't be on cable and satellite on the Disney channel like the first two installments of the wildly popular musical. For the third act, the film is headed to the big screen and big dollars. So will Disney pay Zanessa or are the sweet pair about to evolve into divas?Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens Go Diva: High School Musical in Jeopardy? (Wenn)
New mega star Zac his co-star girlfriend Vanessa have allegedly been offered $1 million by Disney to sign up to the film adaptation, but are still in talks with movie producers. A source tells the New York gossip column PageSix, Disney are "only offering them $1 million each. Zac and Vanessa aren't going to do it."
***
Now before we label them divas, that seems a bit cheap. The reason that this whole thing has climbed to such heights as what was witnessed last Friday night is because the couple has so many fans. Their co-stars are also huge, but the money and the fame are headed straight to the young couple that have already been compared to Brangelina.
It seems as if Disney will want to protect its big names, but Zac may want to move on. He's already been rumored for the new 'Footloose" and was a huge hit in Hair Spray. He's a money star right now and will likely have to be paid as one.
***
Cue the rep: A spokesperson for the studio insists, "We are still in negotiations with the entire cast, but we don't comment on the specifics of negotiations."
Also, don't forget to watch the 2007 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, August 26th. Not only will Vanessa be presenting an award with Shia LaBouf (and hopefully accepting 1 or 2 awards!), High School Musical 2 will receive a special Teen Choice award for its record-breaking debut.
Plus there is a confirmation that HSM2 will have a dance-along! It airs September 8th on the Disney Channel! Can't wait!

People Magazine// Posted on August 22 by Jessie
Hello, Zanessa.While they were shooting the first High School Musical in 2005, a real-life romance quietly blossomed between teenage stars Zac Efron, 19, and Vanessa Hudgens, 18, PEOPLE reports in its latest cover story.
And while filming its sequel, HSM2 this spring, the two were still going strong. "They were sitting on each other's laps and holding hands," says a restaurant hostess who was on the scene. "It was really cute."
Efron and Hudgens, both raised in California, have kept their romance scrupulously low-profile. On the HSM2 set, "if you didn't know they were dating, you wouldn't know they were dating," says a production source. "They're really good at not being obvious."
Not that they didn't become more open as news of their relationship gradually leaked out. And why hide?
"Two people fell in love," says costar Monique Coleman. "Who cares? We're good kids."

Life and Style Tabloid// Posted on August 22 by Jessie
Ok, First off I have now started school so I won't be able to update like EVERY day but I'm still managing alot! Don't worry I'm just warning you, I will still get on everyday. Anyway thanks to Lindsay for this scan of the new (September Issue) Life & Style Magazine cover where Vanessa, Zac, & Ashley are featured. This is a very annoying magazine in my oppinion and they always lie so don't get freaked out. On E! a few days ago Ashley confirmed her and Vanessa were not fighting and now they are claiming ZASHNESSA are fighting which once again they are not. This is the same mag that made up some phony rumors of Zanessa being over. Don't believe them and thanks to Miss Vanessa for the little reminder of their last lie about Zanessa! Please end these rumors in comments and so forth and know they are not true! You can express your thoughts to the editor of this magazine here. :[
Moving on here is a little article where Vanessa reveals a bit about Zac...
Vanessa Hudgens, who is reportedly dating High School Musical co-star Zac Efron, has revealed she is a huge fan of the shirtless look that boyfriend Zac wore for a recent magazine cover.
"I think it looks hot," the 18-year-old actress revealed on a US morning radio show, "The girls like it."
And it seems Vanessa is not the jealous type either, with the actress revealing she doesn't mind the screaming attention her boyfriend receives from other girls, admitting "I like to scream along, too."
But although Vanessa is happy to talk about her feelings for Zac, he seems to be a bit on the shy side when it comes to talking about her. In a recent magazine interview with Rolling Stone, he spoke about his onscreen chemistry with Vanessa but was tight-lipped about their off-screen relationship.
"The weird thing that no one expected about Vanessa is that underneath such a sweet girl ... is a very sexy woman."
As for the rumours that he and Vanessa had exchanged commitment rings, the star wouldn't confirm if Vanessa was the lucky girl who'd received the ring: "This is just a ring from a friend that I got ... It's a female friend, but I can't say who ... because then it would be chat-room pandemonium and teen-magazine hysteria."
Lastly you can check out a really cute video of the rehearsals/behind-the-scenes of the "Gotta Go My Own Way" recording below and it's super cute!!! Check out the rest of the behind-the-scenes of the recordings of the soundtrack here thanks to chellig!
Oh, and one more thing! Thanks to Jenny you can check out a behind-the-scenes video of Vanessa doing her Teen Magazine Cover Shoot! Check it out here!
[EDIT:]It wasn't technically saying they were feuding with each other but they sure make it sound like it with the title. I'm not sure how much I believe this article either but here is the story behind the cover!
Here's what Popstar! had to say about it...
The Star article is NOT shocking, it's actually a nice two-pager on Ashley and the "secrets" are that she dyes and straightens her hair. No kiddin'. Those are the secrets.
As for LIFE & STYLE (is the cover posted, I have it for you if I need to post), the cover makes it seem like the story will be about Zashley vs. Zanessa and otherwise negative, but it isn't at all...it's just factual stuff about them wanting more money, nothing nasty at all, and then four pages of Vanessa and Ashley shopping.
And PEOPLE MAGAZINE (on Perez) was done with ZERO participation by Zac or Vanessa---they did a "write-around" with old interviews and pix.
Enjoy! At least no one is still clinging to the hope that Zac and Vanessa broke up, ROTFLOL.

Small Article...
Disney Channel’s “High School Musical 2” broke records Friday night to become the most-watched basic cable television event of all time.
The much-anticipated sequel to Disney Channel’s enormously successful 2006 movie drew 17.2 million viewers, besting previous record holder, TNT’s Western “Crossfire Trail,” by 38 percent. “HSM2” is also the most-watched television telecast on record for kids 6 to 11 and TV’s most-watched Friday telecast in total viewers in more than five years.
Compared to broadcast network programming, the “HSM2” audience was equivilent to last season’s average viewership for an episode of CBS’s “CSI” or ABC’s “Desperate Housewives.” Disney Channel took advantage of the anticipated turnout by following the movie with a preview of its upcoming series “Phineas and Ferb,” which drew 10.8 million viewers.
The original “HSM” was Disney’s most-successful movie when it debuted to 7.8 million viewers last year. Since, it’s become a cash machine for the network, spawning a best-selling album, DVD, book series, video game, concert tour and upcoming ice show.
Ok, lastly thanks to Miss Vanessa you can check out a new photoshoot of the cast by Myung Chun here!
Oh, and don't forget to watch the Wildcat Chat version of the Movie and Sing-A-Long version today and tomorrow at 8/7c!

HSM 2 and Bop/Tiger Beat Article!// Posted on August 15 by Jessie
Hey Guys! OMG! Ok, I know I should really be in bed but there are some things I have to show you really quick! First, HOW EXCITED ARE YOU GUYS FOR FRIDAY!? I am sooo excited! :] 2 More days! Well actually it's tomorrow seeing as it's 12:34 am but you know?! lol!Anyway, moving on. Extratv.com has a little video from the HSM2 premiere. Check it out here!
The highly anticipated sequel to “High School Musical” is finally here, and the stars can’t believe the franchise has turned into a multi-billion dollar empire. What’s the funniest place the stars have seen their faces on? And, what’s the craziest thing a fan has done?
Hit play and find out!
Here is a little article from the Daily Dish on Bop and Tigerbeat: Blue Carpet Report...
It was hot, it was loud, but it was A LOT OF FUN yesterday. I was at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, California for the world premiere event of High School Musical 2! All the stars stepped out on the BLUE carpet (to keep up with the summer/pool theme of the movie), including Zac Efron! He looked super cute in his blue shirt and grey pants. I was right next to the fans when Zac walked by, and O-M-G, it was SO LOUD from all the screaming. Everyone was trying to get an autograph and pic with the hottie. It was so exciting to be in the middle of all the HSM fans, wearing their Mickey Mouse ears and holding up BOP and Tiger Beat posters and signs saying how much they LOVE ZAC!
I totally joined in when the fans sang along to the songs that played in the background - everything from “What Time Is It?” to Jonas Brothers’ “Year 3000.” Let me tell you, all the girls in the HSM cast looked FAB! Ashley Tisdale glowed in a white gown while Vanessa Hudgens rocked a red outfit. Monique Coleman, KayCee Stroh and Olesya Rulin wore lovely, summery dresses in the most fantastic prints ever. Each HSM girl definitely brought her own glam style to the premiere. I also spotted Lucas Grabeel signing autographs, while I chatted with Chris Warren Jr. and Ryne Sanborn. The only cast member missing from the premiere was Corbin Bleu. I found out that Mr. “Push It to the Limit” couldn’t make it because he was still on tour with Aly and AJ. All of Corbin’s cast members missed him, and so did the fans!
There were other stars who stopped by to chat and take pics, including Miley Cyrus (who sparkled in a hot pink dress) along with her dad Billy Ray. Emily Osment told me that her and the Hannah Montana cast came straight to the premiere after show rehearsals. They got ready super fast but still looked great! The girls also couldn’t stop screaming for Cody Linley (who was adorable in his red jacket), Mitchel Musso and Jason Earles. Wizards of Waverly Place stars Selena Gomez and Jake T. Austin also stopped by to chat and say hi to BOP and Tiger Beat readers. They were all fans of HSM and couldn’t wait to head inside the AMC Theater for a special screening of HSM 2!
And there's more! Daily Dish girl reports on Private Press conference Btw it says VANESSA is going to be working on a new album!!!!
So just hours before the HSM 2 blue carpet opened, I was invited to a private press conference with the movie’s cast, director Kenny Ortega, writers and producers. I sat right in front of Zac and the gang. They were all super sweet, winking at me and smiling when they saw me from the stage. Lucas Grabeel and Monique Coleman were so funny, answering most of the questions, but everyone else looked like they were having a good time, too!
When asked what their dream roles were, Ashley Tisdale (who revealed she’s going to Executive Produce her first movie) answered “Gidget, the surfer girl” while Vanessa Hudgens said she’s always dreamed of being Maria from West Side Story. KayCee Stroh said she’s always wanted to play Tracy Turnblad from Hairspray. Sounds like the cast really loves musicals! Oh yeah, Baby V also said she’s gonna be working on a new album. Zac, of course, was super charming and even blushed when asked what he thought about being on the cover of so many magazines. I know what he was really thinking: “Being on the covers of BOP and Tiger Beat is my favorite.” Haha!
Director Kenny also said there will DEFINITELY be a High School Musical 3 in theaters, but they’re still waiting to reveal the cast. I noticed he kept nudging Zac during the question, so that could be a sign that he’s trying to get the hottie to star. Oh Zac, please say YES! Anyway, enjoy these photos taken from yesterday’s press conference and blue carpet!
BTW, I might occasionally be adding new pictures from the 3 events last night but I won't update so just go check the gallery! Unless it a super duper coolio picture! lol! :]
[EDIT:] Ok, well I was about to leave and go to bed but then I found a video from the parade yesterday and you can check it out below thanks to MissTisdale.Net!

ANAHEIM, Calif. – July 26, 2007 – The biggest splash of the summer, the world premiere of Disney Channel's highly-anticipated High School Musical 2, will be hosted at AMC Theatres in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort on Tuesday, August 14. It will be the latest highlight of the ongoing Year of a Million Dreams celebration at the Resort, and the newest chapter in the unparalleled worldwide popularity of High School Musical. The phenomenon has even extended into Disney’s California Adventure, where High School Musical has jumped out into the park as a live show. Stars of the movie, along with director-choreographer Kenny Ortega and other celebrity guests will walk the carpet in Downtown Disney prior to the 6:00pm screening. Following the Downtown Disney festivities, they will attend an invitation-only poolside party at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. High School Musical 2 follows other high-profile premieres hosted at the Disneyland Resort, including all three Pirates of the Caribbean films. This will mark the first time a movie made especially for Disney Channel has been premiered at the Resort. Kids, tweens and families have found the first movie's appealing music, charismatic cast and high-energy dancing irresistible. Rich Ross, president of Disney Channel Worldwide, said, "What better way to celebrate this movie than to have its world premiere screening at the happiest place on earth!"
The music and spirited fun of the High School Musical movie have been entertaining park guests throughout the current Year of a Million Dreams celebration at Disneyland Resort in Southern California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. During live daily performances of the High School Musical Pep Rally, an interactive sing-along street show, guests have been catching Wildcat fever as they learn lively cheers and cool dance moves from the hit movie's popular songs. And inspired by the sequel, a brand new High School Musical 2: School’s Out! show will spring to life in Disney’s California Adventure beginning Saturday, August 18.
"We've seen the amazing popularity of High School Musical firsthand as our guests enthusiastically participate in the Pep Rally," said Ed Grier, President of the Disneyland Resort. "Needless to say, High School Musical 2 now brings new opportunities for our guests to further engage in the High School Musical phenomenon.”
Reprising their singing and dancing roles in the movie sequel are: Zac Efron as star athlete Troy Bolton, Vanessa Hudgens as brainy transfer student Gabriella Montez, Ashley Tisdale as drama club diva Sharpay Evans, Lucas Grabeel as her brother and on-stage partner Ryan Evans, Corbin Bleu as teammate and best friend Chad Danforth and Monique Coleman as academic decathlete Taylor McKessie. Also returning are Alyson Reed as Ms. Darbus, Chris Warren, Jr. as Zeke Baylor, Olesya Rulin as Kelsi Nielsen, KayCee Stroh as Martha Cox, Ryne Sanborn as Jason and Bart Johnson as Coach Bolton. Mark L. Taylor joins the cast as the country club manager, Mr. Fulton.
In the contemporary movie musical High School Musical 2, the Wildcats are back. This time, school's out and East High School hoops star Troy Bolton, A-student Gabriella Montez and the rest of the Wildcats are getting ready for a fun summer vacation. But that all changes when scheming drama queen Sharpay Evans uses her dad's connections to get Troy a job at Lava Springs, their ritzy country club, and a chance at a college basketball scholarship. The catch? He'll have to turn his back on his friends and pair up with Sharpay in a musical extravaganza for the club's annual talent show. But when Gabriella and the Wildcats start making plans without Troy, he must decide where his loyalties truly lie.
High School Musical 2, part of the blockbuster Disney Channel Original Movie franchise, premieres Friday, August 17 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel U.S., and will be featured Saturday and Sunday, August 18 and 19, in online and on-air programming events hosted by the movie's cast. It will also premiere on Disney Channels around the world beginning in September.
One more thing! Congrats to Ashley for becoming VHO's August FOTM!
Name: Ashley
Age: 17
State/Location: New York
Why do you think you deserve FOTM?: I think I deserve to be FOTM because I love the site and I love Vanessa Hudgens and HSM 2. Vanessa is a good role model for kids and teens, and she accomplishes her goals. That motivation helps me to reach my goals in life. Plus I love her style! It is very original and has a girly feel to it.
If you could give Vanessa one gift what would it be?: If I could give Vanessa one gift it would be a photo album with all her memories and pictures of her accomplishments.
Why was She Chosen?: I chose Ashley as FOTM because she is a really devoted fan of Vanessa. She admires all of her accomplishments and work and uses Vanessa's motivation and love of life to help her in her own life. I find that inspiring and she looks up to her as a great wholesome role model for this generation of kids and teens everywhere. Congrats Ash!

Award coming soon!

HSM2 Soundtrack// Posted on August 14 by Jessie
Hey Guys! Don't forget that the High School Musical 2 soundtrack officially goes on sale today! Make sure you pick up a copy so we can get it to #1!Also don't forget the world premiere of HSM2 is today, check back for pictures!
Also here is a little Q&A with Vanessa...
If you're a fan of High School Musical, you don't need to be introduced to Vanessa Hudgens or Corbin Bleu. They played Gabriella and Chad in the first hit Disney TV movie, and they're back starring with the rest of the gang in High School Musical 2, premiering Friday on the Disney Channel.
The first movie captured huge attention and led to a concert tour, stage show, ice show and even a book series, not to mention the No. 1-selling CD last year. Hudgens' life has changed dramatically in the past year because of the success.
In addition to making HSM2, she has recorded her own CD and toured with the High School Musical cast. Kids all over the world know the 18-year-old by name now.
With the new movie debuting, Hudgens is superbusy, but she took a few minutes to answer questions about her life before HSM.
Q: You were home-schooled from junior high on, but what do you remember about attending regular school? What kind of kids did you hang out with?
A: I loved going to school. I was friends with everyone, and we always goofed around. One day we all came to school dressed up full on as boys. It was hysterical.
Q: What kind of activities were you involved in?
A: I actually did some of the school plays.
Q: You've finished high school. What's next?
A: I am not heading off to college quite yet. I am looking for the perfect project to sink my teeth into. I have recently become a spokesperson for Neutrogena, and I have an endorsement with Ecko Red.
Q: You play a lifeguard in HSM2. What summer jobs have you had?
A: I actually have never had a real job outside of the business.
Q: The cast of HSM really seems like friends. Did filming the second movie bring you even closer with the cast?
A: Well, we are always together on tour, doing press, and now HSM2. We are all very close to each other, and we always have so much fun when we get to hang out together
Also...
When Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens appeared on Good Morning America to promote High School Musical 2, they seemed more interested in each other than in the film! "They had a lot of fun together," says a witness. "Before the show, they sat in a corner eating breakfast and laughing."
In fact, when Vanessa, 18, was asked off the air what her musical influences are, Zac, 19, answered for her: West Side Story, the witness says, adding, "They know each other so well, he finishes her sentences!"

Click here for 3 awesome behind the scenes videos from the making of What Time Is It?What time is it?
If you're a preteen or teenager — or the parent of one — you probably know the answer.
It's seven days, a few hours and way too many seconds until the sequel to the surprise TV hit of last year, High School Musical, airs on the Disney Channel on Aug. 17. Disney has given the movie's young fans a glimpse of what's to come by releasing What Time Is It, the first music video from High School Musical 2.
If you're not sure what this is all about, here's the score: High School Musical is a pop culture and marketing phenomenon, innocent enough for the Disney Channel and cool enough to fuel a new generation's interest in musicals.
Since its premiere in January 2006, the original two-hour TV movie has been seen by roughly 160 million people, according to Disney. It has generated $500 million in sales of DVDs, soundtracks (it was the No. 1 album of any type for 2006) and other retail items. There has been a concert tour by the cast and a stage version that just opened in Chicago. An ice show premieres in New York next month. The movie also has inspired about 2,000 real-life high school musical productions, Disney says....More

In the contemporary movie musical High School Musical 2, the Wildcats are back. This time, school's out and East High School hoops star Troy Bolton, A-student Gabriella Montez and the rest of the Wildcats are getting ready for a fun summer vacation. But that all changes when scheming drama queen Sharpay Evans uses her dad's connections to get Troy a job at Lava prings, their ritzy country club, and a chance at a college basketball scholarship. The catch? He'll have to turn his back on his friends and pair up with Sharpay in a musical extravaganza for the club's annual talent show. But when Gabriella and the Wildcats start making plans without Troy, he must decide where his loyalties truly lie.

What's up everyone, I know you usually don't hear from me but I had some extra time today. :) Many of you know me from my old site, HSM Wildcats, or from Snapped Designs. Plus I don't think I've ever updated here. I wanted to see how it feels. Anyway, right, the reason why I'm updating.As many of you probably figured out yesterday, the layout for the news archive ran out of bandwidth. Since none of us had saved the original (hee hee), the news archive has a new layout! Make sure to check that out.
Anyhoo this is just a small update; I would've edited the last one but that's a lot of scrolling to do...LOL, just messin' with ya, Jessie. :D
